And so..
It's the start of yet another LONG weekend.But no longer can I stay out and play till the cows come home because work's piling up. Urps. Better clear them before things get real ugly.
Anyway, it's been a week full of UPS and DOWNS.
The UPS went down and the DOWNS remain down. Geezz....tough luck.
Oh and I think I should photolog more cos' picture says a thousand words and I've like 100++ photos in my digicam? But then again, no time to photoshop them SO.. they shall wait.
For now, I'm going to have my 13 hours of sleep.
Goodnight, world.

Tiger not in the Woods!
Am watching Tiger playing in the WGC Bridgestone Invitational 4am in the morning.For the last 2 weeks, I've...
Watched him played The British Open which he eventually won.
Watched him played The Buick Open which he eventually won.
That's why sometimes it's worth it to stay up just to watch him play =)
On another note, Man U away Jersey this season is nice!!
Oooo... IF Owen Hargreaves were to be a RED DEVIL cum 31Aug, I shall go and hunt this jersey down!
Ps: My hardcore sister and brother have both gotten their new adidas liverpool jersey. Someone get me THIS!!!!!! Boo.

Fantastic 4
Busy busy busy. Mystic asked me whether my tutorials have started. I said yes. She said no wonder the blog's deserted. Ha.Finally found sometime (while watching WEBCAST.. hahahaha) to spend with my dearest PS7.
Met up with the dearest babes and the HUNK from OCS at Orchard for a nice little catching up =)
It's being like 8 mths or sth since we last met and bitch!
That's all we ordered for the 4 of us. The waitress was very skeptical abt it. She told us that our order WONT BE ENOUGH for all of us. Hahaha..damn funny. But we went ahead anyway and it's just nice lo. Their food portion is like HOW BIG?
And we Photowhored!!! Yan's looking good that day cos' she's very excited abt STH. Hahaa...
Oh anyway, we came to a consensus that Mark's a good catch. (Must be under our wonderful influence!) Before booking in for army that night, he actually went to ZARA and bought a top for his GF! How sweet is that?? (All together: AWWWWW...)
So we told him IF ONE DAY he's SINGLE again, we'll be there to DATE HIM OUT. And we'll do rotations =P
Till we meet again...
Meanwhile, take care dears ...(in NUS, HongKong and OCS respectively)
=)

Update!
Ermmm ywcy asked me to update my blog cos' he's bored.I'm bored too!!!!! I neeed to do lab report on the bloody first week of school!
DANG.
Oh did I mention that I fall sick on the last day of the FIRST week after 8 hours of lecture?
Slept 13 hrs straight after that. I am amazed. Are you?
Anyway, I was reading funkygrad.com just now. The articles there are like damn interesting la.
There is this article : "So what if I dont have a Boyfriend?"
The whole article's quite LONG so let me just extract some POINTS out from there ,which for a moment, I thought I was the one writing it. Ha.
Inane as that question may be, I seem to encounter plenty of queries these days. It seems that the people around me have a bone of contention with regards to my single status. And it's starting to get downright annoying. At first, laughing it off was easy, but after one too many comments like "You don't have a boyfriend? But you are not ugly what." the laughing becomes forced and I seriously (and still am) considering relocating myself to some isolated village in the far reaches of Timbuktu.(<-- HAHAHA)
My friends have jumped on the bandwagon, attempting to play Good Samaritan by inundating me with offers of blind dates and the like. At the risk of sounding ungrateful, I know they mean well but I only have one word to say: NO. And a big fat one at that. I'm sure blind dates can be fun, but for someone who does not enjoy being thrown headfirst into the deep end of a pool, I must say that trying to engage in cordial conversation with a complete stranger is not for me. It's weird , ok, maybe not so weird upon further reflection, that friend who think that it is time for me to have a significant other usually have significant others of their own, and cannot wait to share their new found bliss with others i.e. single, unsuspecting friends like myself.
Just to get things straight. I am not a man hater but right now, my life as a swinging single is just about as good as it gets. However, I must admit to feeling a twinge of envy when I see happy couples doing coupley things together. But when I compare that to the freedom of doing what I want, wherever and whenever I want without having to account to anyone apart from myself; I'd choose the latter. Maybe I'm simply not ready for someone, or maybe I haven't found the right person yet. Ok, so I'll wait. There's no hurry. My biological clock has yet to start counting down like a time bomb awaiting detonation. (HAHAHA) The right man will come along and I will happen to be there; even if it means meeting him at some isolated village in the far reaches of Timbuktu.
At least I know I'm not the only one that's experiencing that! Ha.
So friends, I'm fine .. REALLY.

Last week of Hols
Yes.. I am finally back. But I'll be GONE again. School's here after 3 mths of holidays, which means hell's sneaking in. Urps. Was kinda busy during the LAST week of hols.In short, I attended another 21st birthday, went bunking in with Fang, had KTV with the usual suspects and of cos went to my first NUS rag and flag day in 3 years. Ha. I FEEL SOOO OLD after seeing so many of the JC guys ard in school. Yikes.
Anyway, I'll let the pictures do the talking (again).
The meal from Ichiban is DAMN DAMN good. Just look at those photos!! Havent had such a nice meal since a LONG LONG time. And to have it with the babe whom I adore very much is a blessing =)
Went over to Fang's house and spent the night there. I fell asleep while watching NDP on tv. Ha. The next day, her super-duper-nice mum bought us Adam Road Prawn Mee for lunch and Punggol Nasi Lemak for dinner. SOOOOOOO delicious!! I like! Okie I think I've gain abt 2000g over these 2 days. Hmmm....
Oh and see how KUKU-LOOKING I was back in JC. But one good abt me then was I WAS 70% underweight. GIVE ME BACK THOSE BONES. Boo hoo hoo.
Alright that's Part I of the pictorial. It's taking me years to finish Part II. Doesnt help that Photoshop is hanging on me. And I have to start flipping those lecture notes again. Grr..
Till later.... (for Part II)
Ps: So I was asking my mum if I've gained weight. She said I look the same. Then I told her my face like BA BA like that. (Okie everywhere's BA BA NOW) And she said my face BA BA nicer. Bah. I think I'm going to faint.

1 more week
Day in Summary:11am:
Woke up and went back to sleep
11++ am:
Jumped out of bed cos' I was running late. Grrr....
12-8pm:
Met the girls and TALKED AND TALKED AND TALKED....
9++ pm:
Reached home and showered.
10pm:
Realised laptop's not working!! Couldnt reach Windows.
1005pm:
Me in panick state!!!
1006pm:
Preparing for the worse... losing all my data.
1010pm:
YAY...... It's all well again! Up and working fine!
1012pm:
Started to do backup for my files in the lappy.
1030pm:
Blogging this moment down.
I'm always procrastinating abt doing backups though I do it only once every 3 mths.
For the past few days, I've been telling myself to DO THE BACKUP cos' it's abt time. But you know, my heart wants to. However, my brain only wants to watch DVDs. I guess lappy gave me a false alarm so that I'll procrastinate NO MORE.
Oh did I mention that my room is in BIG BIG BIG mess too? I SOOOO wanted to clean it up BUT yes, I'm procrastinating AGAIN! Damnit. Maybe I need someone to do a house visit so that I'll start packing. Maybe my mum will do it for me AGAIN (cos' she bth the mess liao)! Okie.. I know I'm plain lazy. Jeeeez.
1 more week to the new sem so allow me to be lazy while I still can afford to. I know my mum will understand. Hahahaha....

Count your Blessing
Was checking my Yahoo! mail just now and if you have realised, Yahoo! has actually revamped their home page not so long ago. And there is this section right at the top where it features different stories everyday.Here's an excerpt of today's article which I thought everyone should have a read.
Given how expensive our lives are, how can money not be a factor? We have huge mortgages and tapped-out home equity lines of credit weighing on us. College tuition bills have never been more daunting. Our employers are less likely to give us a defined benefit pension, so the onus is on us -- and our 401(k)s -- to figure out how we'll be able to afford retirement. If we're lucky enough to get health insurance through our employer, the trend is for each of us to be responsible for a greater portion of the bill.
I would love to live in a world where authentic happiness was achievable solely from the richness of relationships, but I'm a realist. And the reality I see -- and that so many of you write to me about -- is one in which money plays into our ability to be truly happy.
(Read more)
So remember to count your blessing, pals.
Anyway, MY DEAREST is back from SHANGHAI!!!!! Whooopeeedooppeee.......
