just look at this masterpiece hotel!! (:

me and the Merlion! (:
everytime i work at Frutta La Viva... im like when will it ever be my turn to become a tourist!!
yeah today yay!!

on the top right.... is a raspberry cream shooter....
btw, its really sour on the top, so fyi, i think u really have to shoot it in with ONE mouthful!!
and to the right is the same thing which i dont know the name for it...
and the bottom, is some really NICE YUMMY rasin chocolatey tasting somethin..
but i dont know its name either...
and it contains 2 green bean-like thinggi...
but i realised that its just some nuts...
I THINK THIS IS THE BEST DISH THEY HAVE LIKE SERIOUSLY!!
BECAUSE ITS REALLY VERY WELL COMPLIMENTED AND VERY VERY APPEALING (:

this is the Cognac (brown spirit -- brandy) chestnut cake which really has that taste/smell of alcohol...
muahahax, although i dont really like the taste/smell of alcohol itself...
but i like it in food...
in terms of main course dishes/ chocolate/cakes/ dessert dishes HAAHHA irony (:
the other 2 cakes on the left...
is all about either mandarin orange-flavoured or passion fruit-flavoured...
neither are my kind ):
behind it is a cookie with vanilla sauce and chocolate sauce...
its abit too plain-tasting ):

this is some lychee cream dish...
the top layers are really NICE!!
because the strawberry COMPLIMENTS THE LYCHEE TASTE LITERALLY (:
but as u get to the bottom...
it gets really INTENSE and abit TOO SWEET ):

there's this weirdo guy... (probably the supervisor of the chocolate buffet)
who erm probably overdoes the 'empathy' element in service quality...
every 10 minutes, he asks us how's it going...
erm phrasing the qn in DIFF ways...
kinda got on my nerves LOL!!!
but this is it, he came over and while we were savouring some stuff, asked if we wanted a foto...
then he did what MOST guys would...
tried to join in the foto with him taking it.. ERHH...
then he proceeded to take a foto for us... LOL

they had chocolate fondue too...
with really various stuff for dips...
including biscuits, melon cubes, empty puffs (errr, i was disappointed that it was empty) and strawberries, and preserved fruits (so sad i didnt know what it was so the last strawberry got taken!!)

I LOVE THIS FOTO!!
FULLERTON SINGAPORE!! (:

=================================

yesterday was erm SLACKER DAY hahaha...
just like today, but erm today is more like EMO DAY ):

YESTERDAY

i woke up really early for piano class...
had 3 Oreos for breakfast at 7plus...
and went to piano class like 15mins early...
1ST TIME IN THIS YEAR HORS!
even ms toh was SHOCKED hahahah!

but fact is, im due for another round of scoldings and naggings...
it's like 1 mth to exam, and what crap am i playing mannx...
im like disappointed with myself oso ok...
but haiz...
no point saying this, but i want a distinction ):

alright then i did 1 and half hour of FNB...
planned extra time to meet Elaine they all for sugarloaf but got pangsehed ):
then anw, was running late if i really had to meet her for lunch...
so i took the time to finish my notes on Lec 11... (x

then took 1hr to dress up and the rest of the time to think whether its obligingly appropriate to dress like that to go to school...
meanwhile, i got emo-ed while i worried LOL!!
but by the time i got off 168,
ive figured out that for the sake of an experience, who cares! (;
BUT, im still shy... LOL
so i took the back gate and realised i was REALLY EARLY FOR CLASS...
like UNUSUAL!!! ahhhh, half hour early lehs!!
then spent 15mins in the toilet stoning...
and then went to class, door was locked!
then met YueWen then chatted and waited for the rest...

Mr Govin came shortly and we had class...
B+ for FNB!
really THNK GOD for that!
yay, met my aim, NO Cs so far! (:

then asked a whole lot of qns i generated while doing my notes...
one of which i realised makes NO SENSE!
hahaha, probably Stress created that qn :P

then went off to meet Elaine at the library...
she was with Kay, and Brandon came to find us shortly after...
and then was crapping about FNB with her... hahaha
didnt feel like studying LOL though i brought my notes!

and then went to Jupiter Cafe for meatball pasta and HAZELNUT FRAPPE (means crushed ice)
and then went to the squash court to slack while they trained...
and i sure looked like a nutcase all dressed up in heels as if to play SQUASH! hahahax this laugh is to myself!

and erm went off to meet dajie at Cityhall MRT...
we met at 7.10pm and decided to walk around before the buffet starts at 8pm...
we went to the Esplanade Library (because ive never been there before)
THEY HAD LIKE PIANOES!!
oh mannx, i think tts my Fave Lib ever!! (:
its like 1 old upright for the cafe...
1 minigrand for the Lib performances?!?!
and 1 practice room with 1 electric and 1 beautiful new upright!!
in total is FOUR!! oh mannx...
they should like really donate ONE to Wdlands Regionals!! >.<

and then we FINALLY headed to the roof terrace...
took a few RUSHED fotos... and decided we were going to be late for our reservations LOL...
but b4 we left, dajie showed me the secret cute pond!
it looked abit like the one in Horror movies, because of the lighting hahah...
but it sure had a sweet ambience (:

then we made our way to the Merlion Park...
another sidetrack HAHAHA
and we took fotos... and then i realised Frutta La Viva, where i used to work...
had closed its branch there already... ):

then we took the underpass to go into Fullerton basement!
and then we walked up really BEAUTIFUL FAIRYTALE STAIRS
*awww love Fullerton Sg!!*

when we FINALLY reached the chocolate buffet area...
i couldnt stop taking fotos...
and FINALLY started eating when dajie already finished her bread and butter pudding!
lols, then i didnt know where to start...
so i did the same...

oh btw, as mentioned above,
there was this mid-20s guy getting on my nerves...
his 1st conver with me was, how do u like it?
when i havent even had my bread and butter pudding...
i was like i havent started yet, hold on, will tell u later...
---
then 2nd time, he asked erm only one dessert wine? how abt her (dajie)?
i said no, she didnt want any...
he replied, erm she should... er try some, its great...
*LOL*
---
then 3rd time, we were eating something...
means that possible unglammeries!!
then he asked RANDOMLY, would u like a foto?
we were like sure...
and he very bhb, attempted to take one with the 3 of us in it... *rolls eyes*
---
very irritating lehs...
too bad not even good-looking luhs... EWWW LOL oops...

then at 11.30pm we finally left the hotel...
we changed 3 locations, just to FINALLY get a cab...
during so, we met this Caucasian...
ok, erm i think he's friendly, and anw he's also waiting for a cab...
but abit too friendly maybe LOL?
so we walked away to change location after awhile...

in the cab, i was feeling terrible!!!
my head was super heavy and i wanted to get home ASAP!!
managed to get my mum to wait for me downstairs at about 12.30am!! LOL...
and erm, its like the minute the lift reached 11th flr...
i walked abit and started puking LOL...
seriously chocolates are YUMMY to me like FOREVER...
but yestday's chocolates in particular the cakes... are like NONO...
far too THICK and FILLING and for the fact i didnt really had proper breakie/lunch...
i guess tts why i puked LOL...
but its not like everything went out HAHAHA!

==========================

TODAY

today equals emo-rainy day...
LOL, im not really emo luhs...
just dont like rainy days because if im alone, i'll start thinking really FAR lol!!
but today im mostly with people....
only time im alone was the journey to and fro from school...
and that alone is like making me think like siao LOL...
probably just past memories HAHAHA!

i woke up at 8am today SHIOK!
then left house at 8.30am when macro TUTORIAL is like at 9am!

worse still, its raining like MAD...
and i was still in a sleepy mood so i didnt rembr that i could just take a bus to the INTERCHANGE and take 168 from there...
so my mind made a PROGRAMMED DECISION,
and i took my pathetic umbrella in the rain with GALE-like winds...
and was drenched with at least 3/4 of my jeans skirt soaking mad!!!

then i boarded 168 and reached school at about 9.30am...
was FREAKING COLD...
so i had a cup of HOT mocha from the vending machine before i went to class at 9.45am...
whereby class ended at about 10.15am LOL!!!

then i went to meet Elaine and we crapped outside the lib benches...
met ben,shep,and another gurl...
we crapped even more...
then i left for class...
while we were crapping, we made arrangemts such that ELAINE will be coming to WDLANDS on MONDAY!!!

and then RHT lab was SHIOK...

the journey...

here's another collection of thoughts...

think about it...
it's the journey that matters
tough, but in the long-run, rather worthwhile??
seriously hard to imagine, but look at all the smaller journies u've made...

--------------------------------------------------

#1: Sunday sermon on 12th Aug

i think this is like one of the messages that has kept me at the edge of my seat since we first visited Cvnt...

its not because the pastor is interesting...
has a sense of humour or whatever crap u can think of...
it's solely because whatever he said, is just simply what i RELATE to right at that MOMENT...

tts why it struck me righT?

ah yes he spoke about loads of stuff...
and as most of u proabably know, i have selective memory LOL...
the only part as of what i rembr now,
is this TRUE story...
well it really is true, because it's his close friend...

a missonary came to Singapore to meet his friend and didnt feel well at that moment...
and he was diagnosed with cancer... malignant as it is...
the friend doctor decided not to charge him on consultation fees...
but he had NO insurance and was really in need of money if he were to go for an operation...

so he was making his decision to go for the Op or not, in Coffee Bean that day...
an European friend saw and recognised him immediately...
that friend was with another Chinese friend who didnt know the missionary at all...
during their conversation, they heard about his need...

then it was time to get his full report and documents from Mount Elizabeth Hospital...
as he was went to pay up with whatever he could...
the staff replied that everything had been paid for already...
this missionary had his pre & post-operation accommodations AND medical bills settled immediately by the Chinese guy!!

why didnt God just heal the missionary from cancer?
He obviously could do more than, just provide him with everything!
the fact is... God our lovely Father above, wants us to go through the JOURNEY...
this is the big thing in His Eyes!!

and the fact that i had to go through my years of crapp...
and blaming Him EVERY SINGLE DAY OF MY LIFE...
and having my family go through the CRAP with me...
i TODAY know that He has a bigger plan for me...

He helped me treasure what I have...
He helped me know who I am from all this...
weak and dependent on Him where nothing is impossible with Him!
IN HIM WE ARE STRONG! (:
He helped me know the fragility of life...
He helped me love my friends more...
this is what my life is! and i hope u guys having the crap of ur life will see this one day!
HANG ON IN THERE! (x

----------------------------------------------------------

#2: Eavesdropping on a meaningful conver!

i was in TP library 8th flr on Tuesday after INHT lec which lasted only 1hr...
it ended at 10am which was like REALLY EARLY...
and it's too early for lunch...
so i decided to study FNB in the lib before meeting anybody else for lunch...
(i was alone, because i prefer studying alone lol! and i smsed elaine for lunch)

so there came grps of pple at different intervals after their classes...
right till lunchtime, it was TOO NOISY...
so i ciao already when Kleon msged me to meet him and Kay first...

beginning, there was a small group of 3 guys...
who came and gathered in a small circle a row behind me...
but because the lib is like SILENT...
they sounded like LOUD...
and because its FNB, i usually can ignore...
but something made me listen throughout the 1 hr plus conver of the SAME topic by the SAME guy!! LOL

erm btw, i dont even know who they are, what they look like, what are their names...
hahahax, i dont even know if they're yr 1,2, or 3...
because i've selective attention in a +ve way...

from what i've overheard and gathered...
he is PROBABLY a Christian from CityHarvest...
i think he's from Business school...
and whatever he said was abit of CSA subject...

i dont care what denomination u're from...
as long as your life speaks...
(though eavesdropping cant really tell u everything of what his life was like, but i think its enough to know much...)

oh well that guy spoke in a very very practical way...
he mentioned about investments in terms of money,
but how about investments in terms of LIFE?
have u ever considered what ur purpose in life is?
have u ever thought about what u're going to do after 3 yrs of poly life?
whether u'll be happy to stick on with what u're studying??
whether it's money or passion u're after...
this is all paraphrased from what he mentioned...

but the points are...
-> are u doing something because you enjoy it??
-> what is ur purpose in life? what will u reap from it in the end?
-> what is ur desire/goal in life... something that u can look for to everyday? something that has a firm foundation that u can base it on? something that's eternal!??

anyway, think about it...
and he talked for about 1hr...
i cant possibly rembred what he said exactly...
just what impacted me or parallels my thoughts for that moment...
yeah so im sharing it to YOU...
hoping that it will teach u something like it did for me...
and i feel that this makes a happy person...
-- to know what ur life is about and enjoying it in a better way! --

-----------------------------------------------------------

#3: Ghost Rider (movie)

i just finished watching this movie at home, at 8.30pm today...

i didnt like the fact that the whole show is about the devil's plans...
and the darkness...
and the fact that they used 2 completely different actors to replace the male & female lead!! BOOHOOS!

but of course, i like shows where justice is done! yay! (:
and anyway, the show has hidden humour, in terms of gross stuff looking more cartoon than scary...

anyway, the show is about the devil choosing adversaries to do stuff for him with curses and deals...
and how other fallen angels want to rule as the devil...

the features and storyline and everything is cool...
but that's on the surface...

once again...
i feel it's about the JOURNEY...

the previous Ghost Rider in the show, succumbed to Satan's deal because of the want for freedom of his greed, which landed him in jail or something...
and then in the younger Ghost Rider...
he wanted to make up for his naiveness and not caring for his dad,
and upon realising that he had cancer, he wanted badly that everything be okay...
so when Satan offered him a perfectly healthy dad again, in exchange for his soul... he blindly agreed...
but the problem is... SATAN IS A BORN LIAR/CHEATER...
so the next day, though the father was really well and strong again...
he died in a stunt performance! *awww*


fact is, there's no shortcut...
and perhaps through the journey, we learn more...
and let's treasure what we have right now...
dont live in regrets... yeah...


so the younger Ghost Rider, was guilt-ridden all his life...
and lived in inferior complex!

it's really pitiful... and think about it...
many people, even in this world...
live their lives trying to psycho themselves in many ways to think that they must DO SOMETHING CRAZY, to prove THEY CAN...

truth is...
i think i did too ahhahax,
NOT in the literal form of psychoing myself in mirrors...
but maybe like always looking for a challenge or challenging something really DUMB...
it is fun, but it is different when it comes to a more serious extent such as Johnny Blaze in the Ghost Rider!!

=========================

anyway, its just a collation of my thoughts this week...

and erm, im super tired...
i've slept at least 12hours last night!!!
because i ran a 2.4KM with Elaine the day before!!!
so impromptu, and NO i didnt run in jeans and polotee and sandals...
elaine provided me everything except shoes... ahahhax
but ive realised that running barefoot on wet tracks brings NO BLISTERS!! yay! (:

but now, I CAN HARDLY WALK PROPERLY!! ouh.... blehs...

and erm, on a random note...
i think i should get a haircut LOL!
because one strand of hair could mean 45cm... HAHAHAHX!
ahahahx, but im lazy and besides shorter means curlier,
like NOT waves BUT YES curls AHHH!!

BTW... MY PIANO EXAM IS ON 24TH SEPT...
and im NOT even PREPARED for my piano lesson tmr morning!!!
SIGHS BIG TIME...
im in hot hot soup...

oh well, let's think about the UP ive been longing for 1 MONTH!!
CHOCOLATE BUFFET AT FULLERTON SINGAPORE TMR!!
*everybody drool drool drool!* i dabao for you lor (X

erm i hope nobody will be like...
"ahh why u're so overdressed for school today LOL!"
hahahax

NO.1 ---> yay im finally dining in Fullerton Sg, because everytime when i work ard there for FruttaLaViva, i feel so deprived such that im only free to enter the VERY BEAUTIFUL TOILET!!

NO.2---> hahaha DRESS UP DAY!! :P

thnk God still (:

Today is just another day as many may feel
But i feel that every day is a DIFFERENT day! (:
everyday is NEW and SPECIAL once again...
but how about, try making ur tmr a better one? (x

hahahx, i dont know why but maybe because this is what the freedom from projects bring me (:

and i want to share my optimism with u all!
hahahx, and once again im a HAPPY gal!!
and im MYSELF again...
no more obligations!

----------------------------------

on a contrasting note,
ive observed that i tend to have "split personalities" when im ard pple im new with...
its a different side of me totally, that i didnt even know existed!
haiz, my goal --> one day, to be 100% myself with anyone and everyone!

------------------------------

and to look things on the bright side...
im just very different from alot of pple...
so i wont clique as well... and probably tend to be clingy...
oops, but sry if had that impression because i dont reli have that kind of clingy thing naturally...
as otherwise, i'll be conscious that i am OR chose to be so for that moment... ):

oh well, what i mean by different...
im not going to advertise myself in here, so LAME...
but just for AN example,
im more to the classical backgrnd?
other songs of diff genre may be equally nice and appreciated by me...
but i tend to enjoy ones with piano/guitar/classical stuff fused into them better!
this is in terms of instruments and song genres and shows too...

and ive realised something else too...
to make things sound NICER...
i LOOK UP to places with PIANOES!!
and this ranges from electric pianoes to uprights to GRANDS!!
a mini-grand will be just right (:
and these places include
-> church
-> hotel
-> SCHOOL (i was reli sadd when i thought TP was deprived of a PIANO!)
-> house/home
-> anywhere!!

WELL.... i dun reli care whether u like it or not...

BUT this is me! (x YAY!

---------------------------

hahahx, and coming to another point...
i really cannot stand people who do something but dont know why they are doing it!
and dont know what they want in life, or do stuff for just doing sake...
i hate myself when im in that phase too...
but its just my point of view that i want my loved buddies to know...
DO SOMETHING ONLY BECAUSE U ENJOY DOING IT...
even though its something new and have yet to adapt/enjoy, pls try loving it!
this is one secret to becoming happy and thankful in life bahs (:

==========================

how about something about TODAY?

i woke up at 7.45 and tt equals dilly-dally because im already late for POM lec!!
hahax, in the end i was about 40+ mins late for POM rev lec!!

sometimes, im kinda siian diaox, that im always late...
even early oso can become late...
frens pls be reminded ---
WORK EXPANDS WITH TIME!!

this is so TRUE for me...
work as in anything that i may have to do,
be it surfing net or chatting or whatsoever...
and the more time u THINK u have, the slower u do the SAME amt of things!! ):
i really need to do something about this!!

and then, after POM lec, POM tutorial...

during tut, we got our individual results for project...
i've got a B+...
i can choose to sulk because i know that my grp mates didnt really rank me well for peer evaluation...
which was my greatest fear somehow...
i was indeed sad when i somehow calculated the truth...

but on the other hand...
i was reminded of my GOAL
(tts why goals are impt! they can cheer u up!!)
all im aiming for is to maintain my As and Bs...
so that i can be applicable to go for SIP!!
i may or may not go after all, because of the boringness/uselessness of most SIPs...
but tts nevertheless my goal till yr 3! (:
so i really THANK GOD that He still gives me JUST ENOUGH (x
Glory be to Him, im not scared of what man can do anymore...
because He has shown me that HE IS IN CONTROL!

so after tut, hung ard with my classmates before meeting Jan...
on the way to KFC we met Johan...

and got stuck there... because Johan claims that we pangsehd him!!
and then i got a doughnut treat which is from Donut Factory!
finally i get to try their doughnuts! (:
thnks Johan!

and then i wrote a note for Mr Govin...
because its Lecturers' & Tutors' day!
and i think his one of the best teachers around...
and he all the more makes FNB interesting! i like (:

afterwards, at KFC, Grace had to go off already hurr...
then me and Johan had our lunch while Jan watched ahahahx cuz she's full...
and then Johan complains tt i eat so slow such tt he's late for class boohs!
but anw, they managed to buy bubbletea and come back to KFC hahahx

then i did a very crazy thing!
i accompany Jan to walk all the way to Safra 168 bustop and take a bus back LOL!!
and the deal was i got to have the rest of her Peach Bubble Tea because she's full... hahahx

but let's shed some light on how our walk to Safra was like!

its all about unglammeries like TOTALLY...
but it started way back when Johan bought his Coke Float bubble tea i think...
he asked the aunty to seal his cup...
and as usual, a FLOAT (with icecream) will cause pressure...
so when he pokes in the straw, it "burst" ahahhax, and overflowed LOL!

then comes cute Jan!
just before we parted with Johan (bcux he had to go back to sch for lec at 2pm)...
Jan read an sms on her hp and sounded so SHOCK with expression n all!
then she started laughing...
and me and Johan were having reli HUGE QN MARKS!
its that Jan missed her lec so she has to go back to sch tmr for a makeup...
and she badly didnt want to!
it was really cute her rxn... and we were like WOW and tts when we started the laughing gas!

then while we were walking to Safra bustop,
Jan had a chain of unglam stuff!!
i was talking about my 16th Aug event...
and then she thought the person whom i'll be going out with was a guy...
and then she gave a very very SILLY "oh my god" in a very LOW VOICE...
and it was really super unglam...
and we started laughin like nutcases!!

and thats when Jan said copying other pple to make others laugh is fun!
then tts when, all the unglam stuff rattles out...
because!.... each time she imitates, it becomes one serious unglam moment LOL!

so for example, just now we were crapping about something...
that people imitate others and become a joke themselves...
halfway she says something which sounded so familiar...
like what SERENA would say to JAN...
its just reli sooo SERENA!!
and then i said, thats so Serena...
and she was like, how did u know i was imitating her??
and then, its laughter AGAIN!

hahahahx, sometimes such dumbness can make u realise that u've missed laughing LOL...
missed being ard nutcases!
ahhahahx, and missed being one :P

no lahx, my point is...
be happy with ur life...
u only live ONCE! (:
AND DO WHAT U DO ONLY BECAUSE U ENJOY/LOVE IT!
make ur life worthwhile and unique!!
because each one of you is SPECIAL...
and carefully KNITTED WITH GOD'S HANDS! (:
