Now for part 2 of the trip...




Daddy and mummy with the pork seller. They seem to know the couple who was selling pork at the local mkt...














This is the supposedly 'old folks home'. haaha... The elderly men always gather here for a puff, to watch tv, or just to play chess... =)













These are the women from the family... so many huh? lolz...


5 daughter-in-laws and 2 daughters. Aiyoz.. so many.














Fire crackers!!! yeah... my cousin had a great deal of fun playing with different kind of fire crackers. Some how, I didnt have the enthusiasm like him. Perhaps I've really grown up??












A table of handsome guys... muaahaha... All of them call me their 'gu gu' which means aunt. ! of them really looked like a HK actor. They are all young and promising... 2 already in uni, 1 in jc and 1 in sec sch.










This is the temple we went to pray. It drizzled the whole day, making the temperature to drop to almost 15degrees. And mind u, 15degrees there is so much different from the 15degrees your aircon can go. It is so much cooler! I had to wear 4 layers to keep myself warm enough.









No la, this is not Great wall of China... I just posed for fun coz my mom said the red lanterns look pretty... faintz... haahaha.











EEkks!! Help I forgot to close the door!! haaha... faintz

Can't u see I still had my pants on? duhz...

My mom had a hard time controlling her laughter and taking this picture for me. Lolz.. We went to this porcelain gallery to take alook at what China make out of the porcelain they got.













Actually the streets in China reminded me of those in HK. they look similar aint they? Only that the streets in China have many motorcars parked outside the shops... they just don't care.

Note: they lurv to sound their honk.

Actually I'm quite happy to be able to travel down to my ah gong and ah ma's old town to see what isit like... I saw with my own eyes how small their rm was when they got married. How the old town was like.. even though there aint any pigs and chickens runnings around like before. Haaha.. My relatives were very hospitable. They were very nice ppl, helpful and warm. Everyone seemed to welcome us.

We reached Guang Zhou at abt 3pm.. and booked a van immediately to bring us to Shan Tou. But quite unfortunately, the drivers didn't exactly know where the village was... so by the time we realy reached our final destination, it was already 10.10pm.. we didn't even had our dinner!! But our relatives immediately prepared some food for us.. much to my horror, they put lamb meat into the steamboat.. and hence everything tasted weird. So I swallowed a few fishballs and quickly drank the bowl of plain porridge.







This picture was taken when we stopped midway at Shan-Wei. The journey from Guang Zhou to Shan Wei took ard 3hrs. Faintz... My butt really hurts. Lolz..













And I was quite tired so I decided to get down the van and take some pictures. i was the camera lady for the whole trip.




This is for self entertainment purpose. Hahhaz... u can ignore this photo.













This is my irritating, yet adorable cousin. He likes to hug me.. duno y, perhaps becoz I'm very hugable like a bear... Trhoughout the trip he keeps yelling for me "Emily jiejie! Emily jiejie!' Sometimes can't tahan him. Sometimes he glares at me with his superb big eyes.. sometimes he like to make funny faces at me. See...! He even stole my snoopy pillow. =(
He is also superb duperb vain pot. Likes to pose for the camera... tsk tsk tsk.








This is the place we pray.. its called 'Ci Tang'. I duno what u call this in English...Ancestral hall?? Think they've renovated this place.. coz it looks quite new.












Do they look alike? Of coz la... They're siblings mah! My big aunt is now staying in China, with 5 sons and 2 daughters. Lucky aint she?

From left to rite: my uncle, my mom, 2nd aunt and big aunt

Heyoz... I'm back from China liao. But haven been studying coz I'm having fever. No la!! it's not bird flu...but inflammed tonsils only. Coz I didnt drink enought water... tts y... So I've decided to take another 2 more days to rest and to get well before I continue with my revision.

So while resting today, I went back to youtube.com to check if they have upload the 2 final episode of 'It started with a kiss' Taiwan drama series. And they did!! I really tihink its a nice show... like those u watch on tv. This show was aired on tv once many yrs ago in Jap version...

This is the finale of the show, when the guy realised he can't hide his feelings and to marry another gal just to save his dad's company.

I like the ending... and I think it is quite cute and funny. Hahha.

Enjoy!!

Okies... I haven't been blogging lately.. and this is the same reason as why u don't see me online tt often nowadays. Coz my computer's network is down.. I can only use my bro's lappy when he's either not ard, or when he's not using de comp. =(

Well, well... I think I've been in constant attention and figure of the discussions amongst the gals.. I think the reason for them to nag is becoz V day is ard the corner. Sorry I've gota use the word 'nag' coz u gals really can be longwinded at times. But thanx.. I'm appreciative of ur love, care and attention. Thanx gals!

Anyway, I'll be away from town starting frm this coming wed till nxt mon.. coz i'll be going on a short tripto China. Supposedly to attend my uncle's wedding.... BUT! they've postponed it..and we've already bought the air tickets. So now instead of going to Guang Zhou, we're going to Shan Tou.. My ah gong's hometown. Cool huh? I've never been thr...and this will be my virgin trip thr.. and 1st time i'll be seeing my relatives who speak Teo Chew..

Teo Chew is a language I find difficult to master since young... My late ah ma used to luff at my silliness... having to greet her 'happy chi new yr' at her birthday.. and greeting 'happy birthday' when it is during the new yr. Haaha... I thought I've always got it rite, coz I'll practise on the way to her house in daddy's car. Nevermind abt getting it wrong in the future.. haiz, coz I won't get to greet her again.

And time really flies... it'll be prelims in 2 wks time.. and den finals will come greeting us! arghh... stress stress....!!

Lastly, Happy Valentine's Day to all my frenz who are attached.. and those who are not, don't worry.. V day is also known as friendship day. So just enjoy this day with ur gd pals.. it's been a while since u all last catch up rite? hehhe...

Oh no...! Chinese new yr is over... and there goes the festive season. haizz... very soon, it'll be prelims and then.. the moment i dread the most, final exams! sianz

I wonder what is everyone thinking of nowadays.. is it coz V day is coming soon or what? They seem very keen to ask me to get myself a partner. FAINTZ... even my mom also does that. TIAN AHH...!!! Recently, one of my gf got attached.. and that prompted them toask when am I gona be like them. Why? I'm happily enjoying my freedom being single... I suppose thr are pros and cons abt being single and being attached. So why not let me enjoy my singlehood? Let me clarify myself.. I dont spend my every V day alone. V day is also friendship day! So its the time we 3 meet up and enjoy our yaya sistahood. lolz...

My mom just told me her colleague (aunt Jas) saw the photos we took in Korea.. and she commented I look like a 'fu puo' - meaning rich lady in translation. FAINTZ... and this aunt Jas happened to be from the women'sassociation or some sort of thingy. I had a gd laugh over it manz... funny.

Well, everything goes down to 'fate' rite? If things are meant to come, it'll come... But I really appreciate my gfs fussing over me. thanx ah...! but yet, no thanx... haaha.

Happy Chinese new yr everyone!
cheers! =)

Stayed in sch till 9pm for Msm class on Tuesday and J gave me a lift home as she was going back to her office to get some things done. Called home to asked if anybody wanted prata from the nearby shop.. and Ar tld me 4th granduncle just passed away. What sad news... haiz. Ever since grampa passed away in yr 2004, his 2 brothers also left with him consecutively in yr 2005 and now yr 2006.

Life is just so fragile... I have never thought of how I shld go abt living my life until grampa's death... his death sort of shook me up from my dreams. Until now when my wai po also left me last yr, then I only realised that how much isit I cherished those who lived with me.. My gramma is 90/91 yrs old this yr... Thus, I'm always convincing myself she's gona lived for many yrs since she is still quite fit now. But den, the death of 4th granduncle has proven me quite wrong. 4th granduncle had been known for his gd health... he's always been travelling almost every yr back to his home town Guang Zhou to celebrate Chinese New Yr. Only recently he has been admitted hospital several times for his heart problems. But from what I heard during the funeral, my 4th granduncle was still joking happily with his grandson on that very fateful morning. And it was during the late evening that he suddenly felt unwell... the ambulance came only 30mins later, and he passed away on the way to the hospital.. they couldn't revive him.

Looking at him... it reminded us of my late grampa. 4th granduncle really somehow or another, looked like grampa. Yes, there is no doubt they were brothers... but 4th granduncle somewhat didnt look like himself... but like grampa! Maybe we're just letting our imaginations run wild... but the resemblance was uncanny.

U know, sometimes this kinda stuff is just so unexplanable... I just don't know how to go abt explaning it.

Before I could leave my hse yesterday to head to sch, daddy told me my mom's god brother passed away too. I really hate to receive such news... especially when its near my exam time, be it just the prilims or the final exam. I really hate it... This is the father of my cousin who just got married recently. She was the one who had her marriage held at Fullerton... See... how brittle is life. Heard from mom that he passed away from heart problems too. And the sad part was his heart problems hasn't been a problem for many yrs already, and it just acted up like that all of a sudden.

I was told my cousin was hoping mad, jumping and crying... scolding those who were trying to convince her that her father has passed away. I think its really hard on her family. My this uncle has only 1 daughter... and she only just got married. And the worse of all... she's only in her late twenties... How bad can u imagine its for her?

I'm always thinking how whld react if I were to be in ppl's shoes... I don't have any sister... and usually for this kinda stuff, guys don't always show how sad they are on the outside. they'll only feel very sad on the inside.

I don't want to live my life full of regrets... sometimes there are just somethings I can't let go.. Nevermind that I can put it aside for moments that I am happy... But whenever I'm sad or simply just stressed, these memories just resurfaced very quickly...

I think I ain't the only person who feel this way... but yet sometimes I feel that I am the only perosn who feel this way. How weird...

I've looked through all the photos I took in Korea and wondered why I look so ugly in many of them.. sianz. Lolz.. I think I still look ok at the airport.. But as days passed, I look iglier and uglier. Of coz u all will disagree with me.. tts becoz I refused to upload those photos with me looking ugly in them. hahha...















1 person 1luggage... so in total there were 3...

Hey ppl... wat does these 2 statue remind u off? The tour guide told us the folks over at Jeju Island touch these 2 statues when a woman in their home is pregnant. So indeed they want the woman to give birth to a son...If I didnt remember wrongly by touching the statue on the rite represent that u want your future son to be gd in his studies... i.e a scholar, and the statue on the left represent that u want your future son to be gd in other areas like i.e to be a policeman, a civil defence officer. Aiya.. I duno how to explain la..!

These are trees as u can see... they look like autumn leaves and dried flowers. Beautiful aren't they? I can consider going to these countries with 4 season during autumn, spring and summer. Frankly speaking, spending a wk over at korea during their winter season left me feeling kinda blue. Mood swing??

I took a picture of this carasoul at Lotte World. I really think it is beautiful... (I'm jealous of Hui's present!! -_- ) Anyway, I didnt had a chance to sit this...we weren't given enough time..no time... no time la...!!

We stayed in this hotel on the very last nitw.. I lurv their toilet! So big!!! The toilet only has 2 doors to keep it closed and mind u, there is still a gap inbtw the toilet doors even when u close it shut. haaha...

And on the left hand side of the toilet is a bath tub... But pity I didnt shower in there. lolz...

On the rite side of the toilet is the toilet seat and also a shower stand. Cool huh? okies la, I'm always amazed and fascinated by big toilets. Lolz.. Don't think I can tell u all which hotel is this, but I can tell u personally la. A hint... it starts with a letter 'M'..... money?? Lolz.

Yes.. I was trying very hard to open my eyes. But the sun was shining in my direction, the relfection from the snow also made it hard for me to open my small eyes. -_- haahaha...

Behind me was the steeper slopes meant for the pro-er skiiers and snowboarders. They're all so darn cool manz!








Hows me in my ski suit? I look pro rite? Lolz...
Tts my mom, me and Ar.












This picture was taken in a stidio where we also learned to make kimchi. I was at 1st given a pink dress, but becoz i had too many layers of clothing, i couldn't arms couldn't quite fit into it. So in the end i had to take away my wool sweater. But this red and green one looks nice ya? But I duno why we were asked to wear the hat... I don't rem the actress in Da Chang Jin wearing one. hehhe...









Sorry Je... I really didn't see any shops selling these tradtional costumes. This studio only rent their costumes, they don't sell it. The places they brought us to all sold winter wear...


How do I look? U know.. the funny part abt the aunties in our tour grp is that they all thought I was around 16/17 yrs of age. Do I really look tt young? 1 auntie tot I was in sec 4! While the other one tot I was in poly... faintzz..











My mom and I are now standin infront of the Korean presidential house. The security is very tight. We were told we can only use cameras, no video filming was allowed.

Look at the picture, can u see 2 big protruding eyes on the rite side of the mountain at the back?










We are standing on a bridge at Lotte World... Beautiful isin't?












LOOK LOOK!!! Its snowing!! Lolz... Look carefully and u can see the snow flakes on our head. Luckily for us, it started snowing on the very last day when we were due to return to S'pore. I looked a little pale in this picture coz I wasn't feeling very well...puked in the morning after drinking the soya bean milk. Aint Sh's eyes big? Haaha... Bro..ur really lucky!! =)









I didnt realise it started snowing until the kids in the bus were screaming their heads off. Coz i was resting on the bus after taking the vomit and panadols. At 1st when i stared out of the window... I really tot it was raining. The snow flakes became waterdroplets once it touched the bus windows. I went down the bus to take a better look. Can u see the snowflakes around me?? =)

Now presenting the long awaited photos of my Korea trip.. TADAAA!!!

We took this picture near the sea as u can see.. It was freaking cold, and the sea breeze made things worse.. the breeze blew straight into our faces. Guess how many layers I was wearing?? Lolz...

Tts me, Aaron, mom and bro's gf (Shumei)..

Hahha.. I looked a little dishevelled in this picture rite? Superb ugly... But I loved the background. Temperature hit a minimum of -8degrees in the nite, can't help but to look like this. Besides... I didn't slap on powder on my face.. which i kinda regretted. It may look nicer.. But in winter time, it is too dry to put powder coz the powder may dry up and cake on the face. =(

I guess it used to be a waterfall in the background, but the it froze during winter time.. hence explaining the frozen water on the rocks. BbRrr... freezing!!

This picture was taken on the day we went skiing at nxt to Vivaldi Ski resort (tts whr we were stayed). It is snow u see on our rite hand side and at the back is mountains. Pretty isin't? But the temperature forced us to put on our winter caps, which i tot it made me look silly. It looked great on Sh, Ar and mom.

I pursuaded my elder bro alvin totake this picture for me. I was very 'bu fu qi' coz I was too clumsy.. couldn't climb onto this big heap of snow. They were laughing at me, mom and Sh tried giving me a helping hand, but I still slipped and fell so many times until i gave up. Lolz... Pls pardon the reflecting badge on the wind breaker.

Hey everybody! Yapz.. I'm back from Korea already. Actually I've already came back last Friday.. but had been too tired and lazy to blog abt my trip. Well, it was nice to see it snowing, but only for a short period of time. To be frank, I didnt really enjoyed my this trip to Korea.. becoz of several reasons:

1)it was darn cold... esp the day before it snowed.. it was practically FREEZING!
2)my younger bro keep irritating me, and I also quarrelled with my elder bro over some petty little things =(
3)on the very day tt we were suppose to fly back to s'pore, I puke in the morning.. haizz...
4)we had to board the plane 4 times within 8 days of the trip..and this really made me superb tiring
5)everything was very rush..we had to wake up at 5+/6am (s'pore time) almost everyday
6)despite having the ticket tt allowed us to each enjoy 5 rides at the theme parks, we weren't given enough time to sit all 5!
7)the queues at the theme parks were so long.. despite the weather.. snorezz
8)we had pork most of the lunch and dinners.. and I'm quite sick of meat now, pls don't ask me to eat red meat!

But despite all these stupid little things tt made me sulk and frown.. I still did enjoy little tiny whiney parts of the journey.. like:

1)getting to watch movies on board the plane like Mr Bean, Must love dogs, Fantastic 4, The Interpreter..blah blah
2)we went to spa valley.. (I did a full body scrub, it was suppose to be a little painful, but I ended giggling and trying my best to stifle my laughter.. it was darn itchy..
3)my bros, my mom and bro's gf decided to go for the ride at Lotte World called 'Gyro Swing'.. it was superb fun... felt like I was gona thrown into the ice cold river.. for another moment, I tot I was jumping off the building. Hahha.. exciting isin't?
4)I get to eat ice cream almost everyday for the past 8 days there... it was shiok to eat ice cream in the cold weather
5)trying my best to speak Korean so as to impress the aunties there.. to gimme further discount. hahha
6)Oh ya, for the spa valley thingy, I also get to experience a different kind of spa.. having soak my body in hot water, while the top part is exposed to open cold air..
8)the last day we stayed at korea's Marriott Hotel.. I think so far it was the best hotel with ultra big toilet.. Lolz
9)pretending to be Korean, but was stunned and confused when they speak korean to me... I'm lost!

Anyway... It was such a wonderful experience la. But I duno why, perhaps it was the cold weather tt made me long for home. I was kinda home sick... silly isin't it? =)

Now it is Korean speaking lesson time..Lesson no1:

1) Auntie = Ah-zhu-ma
2) uncle = Ah-zao-si
3) gal/young lady = Ah-ga-shi
4) expensive = bi-sai-yo
5) how much? = er-zhu-ma
5) yes = yeah
6) no = ah-ni

muaahahaa... anyway, the stuff there in korea was quite expensive.. due to different cultures I must say. To us S'poreans, We regard food as being more impt. But to the Koreans, they regard fashion how you dress) as being more impt. It represents how you carry yourself.. and how you want others to respect you. Hence, the Koreans always dress very nicely despite even having to go to the nearby family mart for an errand. And also... the Korean gals have superb fair and nice skin! *Jealous jealous* *admire admire* haizz...

I shall post my pictures once I can find the time.. and the energy.. Lolz.

I'll be leaving for Korea in a few hrs time.. Have been watching tv and packing my luggage this afternoon. Just clicked to channel U when i heard this familiar music from this taiwan series. Coincidentally, it is one of tjhe short anime I once glued to from a particular webby. It was nice to watch it acted out by real ppl. Hahha...

Read the newspaper this morning and it was reported that south Korea, China and Japan are hit my this snow storm, a few ppl died. Scary manz... Lolz. But I still think we're gona be fine, except that I'm not sure if there will be any delays in the flight inbtw Che-ju and Seoul. My stomach has been feeling weird since yesterday... as though someone has tied a notch. muaahaha...

I'll be back on the 30th dec.. nxt Fridae.. so don't miss me so much k? haahaha...

Lastly, I wish everyone a Merry Christmas!

To the sim gang: hopefully u'll like the gifts u exchanged for.
To the gals: Hope u'll receive many presents k? (btw, Jin, whr is my Christmas prez? Don't tell me this yr i won't receive any just becoz I'm going to Korea??) Lolz..

If there are nice stuff over thr, I promise to buy back k... But if thr aint any... den..er..hmm..... muaahaha.

Seeya guys soon!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =)

Haizz.. I really hated myself for this. Ok, I've just changed my hp yesterday, and it only dawned on me that my pictures are still inside the old hp which i traded it in. It had a few pictures of my late ah ma, and the photo of grampa's wreath during his funeral... IT'S ALL GONE!!! sianz... I totally forgotten abt it.. until last night. And i dragged until just now before i made the phonecall to Singtel and they told me the trade it hps are brought to the dealers on a daily basis... there goes my precious impt photos! haiz... Yeah I do know I have long already painted a picture of them deep down in my heart.. But nevertheless, having a photo of them in my hp means I can carry and bring them around with me rite? =( I wana cry liao... sianz

Went to sch this morning for Msm.. I thought this LP (Linear programming) topic is quite a challenge... its quite tough. And the though of having to miss class nxt wk.. really made me feel guilty and worried. Haizz...

After class H and me went to Orchard to catch a movie... Jin met up with us to watch it too! The movie we watched is called 'Perhaps, Love'. Yapz, its the new chinese movie co-starring 4 different actors and actress from the different countries. For example, Jacky Cheung is from HK, Zhou Xun is from China, Jin Cheng Wu is supposedly from taiwan/Japan, and the last actor, is from Korea (he also co-starred in Da Chang Jin). Regarding the latter, I thought he looked kinda familiar, but thought it cant be the guy acting in the Korea show.. but frenz confirmed he is the one!... Hahhaha. Anyway, this chinese movie (or rather muscial play) is nice, I did enjoyed myself while sitting in there for almost 2hrs. The gal is pretty, yet the guys, I think I can see their pores quite clearly. Lolz.. Must advise them to use toner. =X

And there is this newly open Gelartissimo (I think I've spelt it wrongly.. hehhe), it sells ice cream. And ppl i tell you, their mango and lychee flavoured ice cream is VERY NICE!! Though quite ex at $3.90 per scoop, and for 2 sccops is costs $5.30, but for 3 scoops is costs $6.50 (more worth the $) haahha!! Yapz.. and...!! Pls don't try the banana flavoured one.. Personally, I don't quite like it. I do like eating those big Phillipino bananas.. but this one.. err.. I whld prefer to give it a miss. haahah! The chocolate flavoured ice cream is also nice too...! Yummy!!

Yapz, time really flies... I'll be leaving for Korea this coming friday (no wonder my frenz didnt msg me abt this upcoming Christmas dinner they're planning). Lolz... I'm excited abt Christmas... Are You?? =)

Oh by the way, I was told my 8th granduncle's son (so i shld address him as my uncle even though he's just a few yrs older den me) is getting married. Gramma was chiding say his dad just passed away, how can like this.. so fast get married. Who noes... such villages in the China also practises shot gun marriage. Haaha.. I wana luff. Haizz... It isin't a thing to be proud of... =(. Anyay, I'm interested to accompany my dad to China.. Hmmm... But den hor, the wedding will take place during Feb lei.. Think it will clash with my prelims.. How ah? Lolz...

You guys must be thinking what took me so long to blog abt my birthday party... faintzz.. coz i'm tired lei, very tired! On that day, i woke up at 7+am to go to the mkt with my parents.. Luckily my breakfast was quite filling in the morning, coz I didn't have the time for lunch on that day. After reaching home, i rest a while, and started washing the fllor outside, coz I was afraid my frenz will dirty their feet while walking out to take the food. After washing... I went to Katong to buy durian puffs for my frenz. On the way there, I passed by this shop selling party stuff like balloons and candles etc.. so I bought those sparklers like candles...

Came back home ard 3+pm and started wrapping my doror gifts for frenz, I didnt do it earlier got I didnt have enough of the wraping papers... Went to get them before i got my durian puffs. I didn't have time to eat my lunch and I can feel butterflies flying in my stomach. I was nervous and yet excited! Finally went to get dress ard 5pm, and while putting on some makeup to make myself look more presentable, Jin & Dot came in. Hahha.. we screamed and hugged.. and laughed at ourselves having act so silly infront of my dad. After they came, grps of frenz started to pile in too...

I have to apologise to my Jc band frenz, coz I think i've neglected them.. for I was busy running in and out of the house.. and also, I've neglected my bro's gf. So sorrie manz... I didnt mean to... But i wasn't thinking coherently that nite too! But nevertheless, everything was fun!!

My presents consist of:
- 3 perfumes: Flower by Kenzo, Vocalise by Shiseido and Boss by Hugo Boss
-1 set of speakers (can be plugged into computer, radio and my ipod etc)
-A teddy doll house box (it is really very cute!..)
-2 bags: 1 from roxy and 1 from the chicken brand
-3 necklaces: 1 is a red cat, 2 from SK (given by my youngest aunt n bro's gf)
-3 watches: 1 from Fossil, 1 from Quartz and 1 from Swatch
-Origins set: consisting of a scrub cleanser, 1 nitecream mask, and 1 pimple cure
-2 flowers: 1 bouquet from Sim frenz and 1 frm B & his gf
-1 bracelet frm Ad (just got it todae during breaktime in sch)
-1 pair of crown earrings
-1 pink shirt
-1 box of Ferrero Roche


Yapz.. and i was wondering how come no one gave me stuffs like snowglobes and muscial box... haizz, perhaps I shld have told my frenz i wanted tt so they can buy me. I like those snowglobes from Precious thoughts becoz it can turn while the music from underneath plays. And musical box have nice music too... and with a pretty ballerina dancing on it. Pretty!! =)

Anyway, thank u to all my frenz who came.. and to Jin and dot for helping me decorate the house.. its beautiful... Too bad I didn't have a red carpet hor.. or else it'll look more grand rite? muaahaha..

The pictures at my bdae celebration is mostly ready, cept those from Meng's camera... Can some1 tell me how i can post it online mah? I'm an IT idiot if you still duno... Lolz.

Have been feeling so restless and tired these few days... I'm 21 now, can go for RA shows already. heehehe! Ad was saying how come I'm so naggy now... old le mah, of coz. I receive a bracelet from him todae in sch.. haaha. Becoz of him i walked in and out of the class a few times...The bracelet has colourful glass beads, quite pretty.

Thanx for all the presents u all gave me.. it is so memorable...!

I didnt cry on that day too... think i wasn't in the rite mind the whole day... I only stared briefly at grampa's alter when I placed the cake infront of it. Haizz... Gramma nearly didnt want to take a picture with me, but luckily I had my aunts trying to convince her. Think she looked happy in the photos... =)

zzz....

Alrites, its official now... I've just turned 21 yrs old. haizz... how come it sound so old eh? Though I'm the last in my group of frenz to turn 21... The feeling is kinda weird. Time really flies... When my elder brother was celebrating his 21st bdae, I was still tihinking how I shld also celebrate mine. And now.. its my turn...

I don't know how I would react tml.. whld I be smiling and giggling happily, or whld i feel somewhat sad. I whld really lurv to take a happy family photo... but with grampa gone, I can't imagine how I'm supposedly to feel happy tml. Ya, i assure myself he and ah ma will be able to see me..., to share my joy and happiness. To see their little cry baby grow up to be a real lady, entering adulthood. But I whld really lurv to share my joy with them... The other day i was thinking of them on the way home and I nearly tripped over and fell. I bought sweet potato soup dessert for my gramma, I thought she'll like to have sth sweet after lunch. Hahha... If only I knew how to assure them I'm old enough to think for myself...

I think i'm feeling this way coz I just heard my 4th granduncle being hospitalised. Haizz... After grampa and the recent death of 8th granduncle, 4th granduncle is the only one left in this wolrd. All his brothers have gone...leaving him quite lonely. Hope he'll recover soon... Gramma grew a little paranoid after receiving the phonecall and needed daddy to bring her to the hospital to visit granduncle. He has been always in gd health.. but I think his age is catching up on him.. Lets pray that he'll recover soon k.. heard tt his heart has been giving him some problems. Grampa, too, had heart problems... =(

Anyway, I've done everything by myself.. from catering the buffet, to ordering the cake. hahha.. aint i independent?? Lolz... tml i'll be skipping class, and i'm feeling guilty now. But I'm feeling kinda lazy... and I think it'll be betta to i can go to the mkt with my parents tml. So i can help to carry the heavy stuff and also to buy the stuff i need. Excuses... excuses!!!

Bought the wrapping paper today... but i think it isin't enough to wrap the sweets! Gave up after a few attempts. Daddy was nagging as I was messing the whole table with my mountain of sweets. He told me I betta get ready for tml.. don't wait till last minute and finally keeping the sweets all for myself. muaahaahaha!! so funny!!

Happy birthday to myself... haizz... feeling like a 60 yr old lady already. Tian ahh...!

Ohhhh Yeah!!! It has started to snow over at Korea already, Yesterday the temperature hit -6 degrees over there. Kinda excited over it... lolz.

Anway, went for cousin's wedding on Monday at Fullerton One... the ballroom was just a semi-circle... kinda small. The bride i thought was pretty, and her body looked darn bodylicious.. Yeah... she's dark and slim.. with the correct measurement in every curve she has got. Lolz... And she looked really very pretty when she wore the red cheong sum with gold trimmings.. haahaha. Heard tt the groom was 2 yrs younger den her.. hmm... that explains why he looked this young.. and he is also quite fair, quite the opposite from my cousin. haahaha. The dinner started as late as 9pm! And Aaron fell asleep on daddy's lap... haaha... and the dinner ended at 11.30pm.. faintz... so by the time we reached home, it was already 12pm.. tian ahh...

Yesterday went shopping with H and Je... They went shopping with just 1 motive: to get me a decent dress. Even Fg said i shld wear a dress or sth, unlike my usual dressing to sch. Hey! I don't think I look chou Loh when i always wear jeans lei.. I'm just being myself wat. I don't go to sch for a fashion show... I feel so comfortable in jeans, shirts and 3 quarters. Lolz... ya la, I admit I'm kinda tom-boyish.. but I've been like this since young. I still remember I used to lurv wearing dress when i was Pri3 and younger. But ever since i grew older, my likings for dresses and skirt started to fade... and I didn't understand why my mom had to force me to wear a skirt sometimes. There was once, during Chinese New Yr, she insisted i wear a skirt... and i refused. Coz I didn't understand why i shld comply to her, and it is me who will be wearing a skirt, not her ya. Why shld she control how and wat I wear? At least I'm not having superb short hair and look like a boy rite? Anyway, she refused to let me step out of the hse with me in jeans... so my dad had to persuade me to listen to her, and the whole day i was sulking wearing my skirt. Lolz...

But I've grown up now more feminine la... I still wear skirt, but just on more important occasions like Chi New Yr, wedding dinners... Hence for frenz who think tt I always wear shorts and pants, you are wrong man.. haaha, I shal also prove you wrong this coming sat.

Anyway... despite walking for more than 6 hrs.. I still didnt buy a dress/skirt... haaha.. nvm la, I shall wear the1 I have in my cupboard.. I only wore it once... Lolz.

haahaa... finally bought W's present. Yapz, it'll be a belated present, but hope he really whld like it. Hehhe.. or else I'll be paiseh, after receiving quite a few number of presents from him, esp last yr's! Lolz.. Time really flies, in a wk I'll turn 21. w0o0o....!!

YIPPEEEE!! I'm so happy! Coz it is snowing over at Korea already... muaahaahahaa... I'm in a holiday, festive, Christmas mood!! Lolz... so happy wor... I'm always dreaming how whld it be like snowing.

I've finally finished writting out my Icp essay, after so many days of draggin here and there. Tml will only be a half day sch.. coz my 2nd half of class is cancelled, luckily J reminded me. haaha... phewww

Tml's my cousin's wedding... how weird ah, to be wed on a Mondae.. hmm.. But I'll still be there to polish up the food. It'll be held at Fullerton. So must dress nicely... lolz.

I lurv December! tts why i chose to come out of mummy's stomach only in December. haahaha... silly me! =)

Oh yeah! It's December now! Lolz... I don't now if i'm suppose to be happy or worried... hmmm. Coz though its a time for us to be merrying (coz its MERRY christmas), or isit time for us to be worried abt the materials that are piling up!... hmm, 2 more mths and we'll be having our mock again. arghh... its always exams exams n and exams! Tiann ahhhh....!! Our Icp lecturer had also told us he is gona give us a test after the New Yr. Sianzz...

Stayed at home the whole day, woke up late at ard 2+pm... read newspaper and tried to so my icp essay. But despite having all the time in the world, I only wrote 3 pharagraphs. Thus, it is not completed yet! arghhh....!!

Helped gramma to rub her back wid the medicated oil. She told me to use de cotton wool, so my hand will not kana the oil. How ridiculours to use the cotton wool rite? So i used my hand instead... And my whole palm stink of the medicated oil now... Lolz. Maybe it'll help the blood in my rite palm to flow better with the help of the medicated oil.

I had to withstand not washing my hair today... Didn't dare to go anyway todae. Phew.. luckily I can finally wash it tml. Hurray...! Tml it'll be as gd as new hair again... laalalalla =)

haahaa...okies, I've finally went to straighten my hair. Now it looks so straight, that frenz have commented how soft my hair is. Actually the truth is, my hair has always been this smooth, but just tt it doesn't look tt nice only, coz of the waves/curls. I asked the hairdresser to cut short my fringe, but I tink I look quite stupid with a short fringe like tt... Hopefully I'll look 'wiser' nxt wk when my hair becomes more natural. =)

The hairdresser who helped me to 'iron' my hair was a different auntie from the one who cut my hair. I trust the auntie who cut my hair more.. coz usually its been done by her. Anway, this auntie who 'iron' my hair, also 'ironed' my scalp too!... And she didn't do it once... but at least 3 times!! Tian ahh... I was quite afraid tt she might do it a few times... hence instead of reading the newspaper i had in my hand, i stopped to stare at her reflection in the mirror so as to remind her to concentrate on my hair, rather den to turn and look at others when still holding tt iron in her hand! Scary man....!!

Was online when jin told me to look at this guy's blog - http://sky.prohosting.com/gssq/writings/girl.htm
I thought was he said was very true... I mean, we're gals rite, so of coz we're different from guys. Woman are from venus and men are from mars, haven u heard of this before?? Anyway, yapz, I myself had scored many on this list... Lolz... So gals, have fun reading this, and guys, u may have a gd laugh over it.

And as for the previous entry, I did some research.. and according to my frenz, its better to have a higher standard, den someone who has a lower standard, and gets cheated by guys often. muaahaha... but anway, I still don't admit I have such high standards. Believe it or not, its up to individual. Cheers! hahha...

I don't know what is happening, I may have giving them a wrong impression of me, or perhaps they have interpreted me wrongly. This, I wonder why.... Is it written over my face or what??

From close frenz to frenz who are not that close to me, they seem to have this impression that I have high expectations of my nxt bf-to-be. I'm not sure if i've been giving such impression, but certainly, my expectations aint tt high either. Of coz there are certain expectations (everyone does this too...!). I'm just puzzled by frenz who have told me this... Tian ahh....!!

Was talking to Ad the othe day, asked if he wana come to my bdae party... he asked if its an official invitation, or I'm just asking for the sake of asking. Of coz its an official invitation! But I'm asking him in such a unofficial way coz I'm afraid he may feel awkward coz of being alone at the party. So instead he asked if he can not go.. or rather instead, we go out and have dinner some other day. Oh yeah, becoz of this, i have my reservations... don't ask why, but i always have such reservations. (I told u, i'm just plain weird.. believe me k?) Not tt i don't wana go and claim my present frm him, but... I just can't explain. anyway, he does owe me a present and... for that matter, 2 dinners! Hence I still can't decide or not whether to go... Hmm... he said he thought I'll be more dependent (emotionally) since I'm turning 21 soon. Hey!! It is not a problem of turning 21 soon, or growing up to become a more mature adult. But its just my way of thinking that sets me apart frm some others... My beliefs, thinkings, and fear may change overtime, but certainly, the change whld not be such a big difference!

Arrghhh...I'm also sometimes bewildered over my own decisions and feelings. Ya, according to ESAP, we sometimes will qns our own schemas and such schemas may change overtime under different situations and environment. Lolz... Do i sound professional enuff? hahha!

Anyway, I wana tell those who are coming to my bdae party, a big thank U for all the trouble coming down. And for those who are not coming, due to different reasons... I'm disappointed. I may not say it directly in ur face, but I do feel disappointed. BUT....! A big present may turn my disappointment into happiness. haahaha...

Haven got the time and energy to blog recently, coz was busy with Dot's and Jin's birthday... Have been going round to buy their presents, meeting up with them, and spending wonderful time with them. I lurv it!!

Happy 21st Birthday Girls!! May we stay like this forever till we're old...

I'm now busy with my own birthday preparation. Today settled down to have time to check my mails, and saw the proposal Gallery Hotel came out with. I say it really sounds like a wonderful... fantasy birthday celebration. But its quite expensive i must say. I was deciding to celebrate at home when daddy say it wouldn't have the 'feel' of going to a chalet already. Thus, i spend my evening trying to search for available chalets. But most were fully booked, otherwise, the dates aint rite.

Was abt to go to bed when he saw the proposal on my computer, and he asked what was that. I told him, and his reply really surprised me! Daddy told me if it is nice, he is fine with it. wWwwooowWW!! Of coz i whld really lurv the idea of celebrating it at a nice and fanciful poolside. But I don't think its worth the $.. I'll rather spend the $ on food. Have nicer food and stuff... See..... I'm not as spendthrift as some ppl may think of me.

I was thinking of splitting up the celebration into 2 days, the actual day with my frenz and the nxt day with my family. But den... it'll be weird mah. How how how?! haiyoz... headache lei. It maybe because of my constant nagging and irritating grumblings that led my dad to agree with the hotel proposal. But I'm not sure, He doesn't seem to like the idea of celebrating at home. Tian ahhh!!!

Okies, i shld start writing my wishlist rite? Lolz... Just don't buy too bimbotic stuff can already. I'm not used to it.. that is just not me.

For watches: I chld get use to 1 though i don't have the habit of wearing them. I prefer square of rectangular surfaces and those with thick straps. Coz i have quite a big wrist.... Lolz

For wallets: I'm still using my red LV wallet (pls don't ask me if its real or not)...

For bags: I prefer tote bags... But err.. maybe u shldn't buy me the chicken brand i always point to, i think I've changed my mind abt tt.

For perfumes: I have Dior me Dior me not, Ralph Lauren, Dkny Apple, Davidoff Woman, Elizabeth Arden Green tea and Lancome's Oui. --- Quite enuff for a person like me who seldom wears perfume, only when I remember or in the mood to do so. hehhe...

For soft toys: I do lurv soft toys especially teddy bears. But I do have loads of them at home already, so many to the extent I'm force to stuff them into the big plastic box. =(

As for other stuff... I'm still not sure yet. Coz I'm sure most of you shld know, sometimes when i buy something, i may not even use/wear it. hehhe.. so if you're not sure, feel free to ask me. =) Hopefully I'm doing you all a favour by typing out these stuff... But of coz i'll still like the thngs u all buy for me la...
