so here i am, sick and bundled up in a pullover, sitting in the trimedia office, typing furiously away.

it's going to be a long post and day because i am quite bored doing absolutely nothing (that can only translate to the fact that i am lazy and have not been scouting around for stuff that needs to be done) whilst waiting for agnes to come and handover to me the instructions on how to go about the food section of hype and urbanwire.

so let me recount yesterday coz i badly wanted to blog about it but i KO'ed immediately once i reached home.

i had to wake up at 615 and haul my still dreamy self to montfort junior school where a trail was scheduled to botanical gardens. it was one of the hardest trails i had ever done. the kids didn't listen and i really felt like killing myself and/or pushing the troublemakers into the symphony lake. but of course, mucho thanks to verick, who helped me maintained the class. never in my life have i seen a primary3 boy as responsible as him.

so dusk soon fell and i had to meet the primary school peeps for a long awaited gathering.




billy bombers; marina square. it was a fantastic experience: just reminiscing the good old days. the bad part was that it never failed to make me feel extra old. (it didnt help that a few friends and i spent last sunday at elaine's talking about fengshui over steamboat)


felicia&me


wynne&gerald

headed down to town because we wanted to take neoprints (coz that was what we did in primary school) as it seemed pretty early. unexpectedly, all the neoprint shops were closed. the plan then headed somewhere i didnt want it to go: mahjong @ felicia's place.

i have nothing against mahjong, except for the fact that i dont really know how to learn(thanks to auntie and gene, who joined us later on, i managed to understand the COMPLEX game even further). also, i was sick and had to work the next day.

but nonetheless, being the awesome friend that i am, i took the bus with them to felicia's place, surviving the suffocating bus ride and even, a jab from felicia's heels.

after the arduous journey, we finally reached her place. and look what i've found!


above: clement, me, felicia
below: shuping, wynne (yes, wynne) and shiyuen. shuying burst out laughing today at this photo of shiyuen because she find her looking incredibly toot. btw, on the top right, is me and felicia. going back to ntps when we were in sec 3. that's 4 yrs ago.

note: this neoprint was taken 5 years ago on aug 30 at jurong point.


some things never change lah. clement is still as tall. im still fat. felicia is still late. shuping is still an outcast. wynne is still WYNNE (OMG). and well, toot is still toot.

ok, and apparently, this other neoprint is also taken on the same day.


that's felicia, wynne and clement with an awkward looking twist at the back.

what's coming up next is even more old school because this was taken in sec 1 when i celebrated my birthday at jurong entertainment centre.


this should be framed up because i am willing to bet 10 bucks that no one else has this!

okay, and the following photos are definitely much more recent. secondary 4: again, my BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION!


KTV@PARTYWORLD-TOWN. the new addition is baocheng.





i can only say, thanks for always being there.

work was okay today.

and you are reading the blog of the food editor of trimedia publishing!

mwahaha. my diet is so gonna get screwed.

the reason why i am still awake and not in my dreamland now because my ibp starts later and i have the incredulous notion that if i stay up long enough, i can actually enjoy my holiday even longer. on retrospect, i realised that this could very well be the stupidest thing i have ever done. but you can't blame a guy for trying. ok, im delirious. goodnight and goodbye. (:

hello world, i am at peace.

friday and saturday have been one of the quietest and stress free days i had in a pretty long while.

friday night was spent at max brenner's again with yongjin, shiyuen and jackson. anything that involves chocolate, seriously, is (for lack of a better term) heavenly.





yongjin is disgusting because he thinks that he is shuai and cute and whatever-have-yous (which could not have been further away from the truth).

as for saturday, it was spent on the sheer luxury of watching old FRIENDS reruns and a couple of dvds i rented from the videoezy at tiong bahru. oh, and it is very therapeutic to have a tub of no added sugar and non fat yoghurt whilst lying on the couch. it is not quite as good as ice cream (ben & jerry's. yum!) but it is definitely less fattening.

ahh wells. happy days will come to an end soon. on monday, actually. when hell hath decided to swallow me up whole.

the thing about not blogging consistently is that you normally dont know where to begin.

chinese new year just flew by; nothing too special except omg. i lost freaking 12 dollars in one round at shuying's place but never mind thats ok coz i still won 2 dollars or so in the end.

the first day of cny was still reasonably ok. was at my paternal grandma's place for the whole day while various relatives dropped by.

after the normal festives, headed down to harry's @ holland village with a few cousins for a drink. was damn tired lah, so i kept badgering them to leave.

as for the second day of cny, met yc and went down to gladys' place at pasir ris. shu and shaun were waiting at the mrt station already so getting there was a cinch. 'the-girl-who-dont-pick-up-her-phone' was still packing her room (on chu yi!)when we arrived. talk about being unprepared. so anyhow, i spent quite a while there before cabbing down to tampines for a short family gathering (ok, it was short because i stayed for a while only and not because everyone else had to go).

shaun then drove us down to jurong (read: shu's place) and that was where the major gambling started to take place. damn exciting lah, first time i bet $10 on a blackjack game can?

so this sin took place for a little longer before i headed down to MoS with gladys and her MJ friends. it was kinda weird because i dont go clubbing with people whom i dont really know but whathell. my new year resolution is to not let people think im dao (i dont even know why) or spoilt (even more far fetched!).

but anyhow, i had fun and reached home at 4. LOL!

so that wraps up my cny celebration.

BIG SIGH. ibp starts on monday! ):

i fell yesterday.

it has been quite a while since i last took a fall.

it was quite bad; i scraped my left elbow, knee and palm. you can probably imagine what i look like; sprawled across the ground at a bus stop in town, no less.

the pain wasn't that bad. at least not till i reached home and started washing the wounds, picking out stray pieces of gravel.

and HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY people! remember it is a celebration for love, any kind of love. (:

*thanks to the girl who offered me plasters yesterday (:

it's not often you get to laugh like nobody's business. what's with all the negativitiy around, it's already a bliss; to have a smile on your face.



dinner was at ps with dessert at max brenner; esplanade. the chocolate was so good that it should be therapeutic. within bites, really, everything was gone.











pics from tonight. no wait, make that last night:





everything was covered in chocolate. so much that it should be a sin.

waffles with chocolate and vanilla ice cream, brownie with hot fudge, chocolate lick and some hot chocolate that felt so good. there's nothing like that sort of instant gratification.

*mrm paper was okay. i think i dont need to repeat it, but let's just keep the notes, just in case. (:

it's a shock to wake up from your bus ride and see your secondary one geography teacher in the same bus as you, facing you. (the exact same teacher who caught bernard reading fhm in class and started having panic attacks and hyperventilating whilst waving the said magazine in the air, looking all hysterical and shouting, "work of the devil! work of the devil!" it was a comical sight, really.)

well, i got a bigger shock yesterday when i was on board 61 and two senior citizens were snoggling each other. come to think of it, the bus i was on was bus 61 too.

but, that's really beside the point.

there isn't much point to today's post actually except that i really need to study for mrm because i am such a doofus and that my entire week is jampacked with varying activities of all sorts.

i took a group of primary one kids from griffith primary today to the esplanade. this is my first trail of this semester's holidays. esther said that the feedback i received was good but just that i needed to slow down in terms of explanation. that's nothing new, i guess. people who knew me long enough would have known that i talk like a machine gun.

but a girl cried on my watch today. she cried because i was going on too fast and she couldn't catch up. in her despair, she burst out crying and everyone, including me, crowded around her, trying to get her to stop crying and helping her to get back on track.

that got me thinking. how easy it would be to get anyone to solve any problem just by simply bursting into tears in my current phase of life and age. i think even if i cry till my eyes fall out of their sockets, people will just insist that i clear it up once i am done wallowing in my own misery. it's quite sad, really, to live in this age where ignorance is no longer an excuse. for that record, neither is stupidity.

it irks me to hear someone say "oh. i can't do it because i don't know how." so what if you don't know how. do i look i was born into this world equipped with skills of all sorts? don't know arh? then freaking hell go and learn lah! (or at least try to, as what i have been doing with flash and spss.)

but today had been a really busy day. after work, i had to do meet some clients for my ibp with serene, gabriel and paul. from the no man's land of ayer rajah crescent to the sleazy area of joo chiat, we have covered it all. it was an eye opener to see how an ad pitch is done and thankfully, everything went "very very very smoothly", according to serene.

took the train back to the west side of our sunny island to attend a briefing for my volunteer work stuff. glad to be involved and hoped that i will be able to contribute much to this time round's event.

sigh, till next time then. for now, it's really just me and the total errors that can be made during the process of doing research. :S

there's something sacred about putting a yellow envelope (with all your hardwork for the past 10 weeks at least) into a pigeon hole.

the feeling is ... undescribable; it is like dancing on stars, floating amongst clouds and having a million orgasms. all at one time, even.

ecstatic doesn't even begin to cover it. not even euphoric. if i were to market a drug that makes people high, i will call it "meetingdeadlineswithalldeliverablesintact".

of course, my heart goes out to those who did not make it on time. there was this girl who was crying outside the office because she missed the deadline by a seemingly inconsequential one minute.

that one minute had just cost her three marks off the total grade. it could mean a pass or fail grade. yes, that's how bad things are.

but truly, this sem made me open my eyes to alot of things that happened around me. i could not believe the nerve of some people, still wanting to engage in politics when we are nearing the end of it all.

but i have to admit, through episodes that happened, my eyes have been opened to those whom stood by me throughout this entire two years, or at least my stay in ngee ann till so far.

you know who you are so there won't be mushy words of gratitude and all. (: your simple actions and all are very much appreciated.

so anyhow, my post school celebrations kicked in on friday itself. went clubbing with people whom i recently got closer to and had quite a bit of fun. the combination of people had seemed weird at first but it got better. i guess that is just my antisocial side talking.









yes yes, we look all happy coz we were. the feeling of delirious happiness was not from the high we got from drinking and dancing but the feeling of liberation. no more school!

i have to admit i didn't enjoy as much as i would have coz i was worried about featurewriting and true enough, a bomb exploded right in my face that kept me worried till sunday when everything was over. heard disturbing things about stuff. shan't dwell too much into it but just glad that i don't have to see certain faces anymore (for the next 5 months at least).

oh, and here are the pics from last friday with benji, kewei and shiyuen at eskibar (was it? where did all the time go?!):







did ridiculous stuff once again at the multistorey carpark at holland village. shiyuen looks damn buang coz she is. but luckily for us, she sobered up just in time before we had to haul her home.

and on saturday, yc's brother's birthday! it was funny we were there coz shu and i barely know the brother but were there for the food! haha. bought a gift; so it will not appear that we are such cheapskates.





bitching session ensued and i stayed at yc's place till 2. heavy downpour after that, damn sian. and now the wind is so strong, i am sure perverts in singapore would love it. joel, the number1 perv, already told me where would be a good place to go upskirt watching. so girls, he is not as nice as he seems, ok! lol.

and i am going to the zoo again! soon enough, i hope, coz i really missed the place. haven't been there since ... well, that wasn't a pleasant memory. once pearlyn and kuanliang confirms with me and yay! underwater world, zoo and the beach, here i come! (:

ah wells, but happy times will get happier, once im done with the exams. which is this fri and next fri. yikes!
