December comes early

2011-12-02T17:26:00.005+08:00

Last post: October 26. What, really?? It has been that long.

Well, quick update.

1. Exams are over. Yes. I feel really good about them.

2. I'm having cramps, my stomach's making weird noises and I have a huge period pimple in between my eyes.

3. I am sitting on my dad's chair in the living room with Lewis nearby playing his inane F1 game on the PS3 that my parents bought him for his birthday.

I KNOW RIGHT. PS3. LIKE, I PLAYED SEGA FOR YEARS, AND IT WASN'T EVEN MY OWN IT WAS MY COUSIN'S. Kids these days. Ah well. At least he got a horrible helmet haircut that makes me feel better every time I look at him. Hahahahaha

So actually I just wanted to come here and tell you about the little trek I made yesterday. I'd gone to school for a *cough*useless*cough* meeting and went to get my cash cheques because of this muck-up in the school's finance dept and theeennn took the train to Caldecott to get my letter page prize.

On the way from school I bumped into Selina whom I haven't seen in ages! She was with her sister who was terribly shy but I was too excited to catch up with Selina to really do anything about that.

I switched trains at Buona Vista and got out at Caldecott. The station was deserted and except

for one other Malay woman I was the only one who got off. I don't know what I was expecting - for the broadcast centre to be directly outside or something, but when I emerged from the escalator there was nothing there. Some houses, long roads and the sense of isolation. Google maps came in handy and I set off along the blinking red trail on my screen.

Far off in the distance I could see that Malay woman and I suspected we shared the same destination.

I walked and walked and walked.. past florists and strange farms and some zen-looking place with a giant stone Buddha. Then the road cleared and the buildings around were all residential. There were some awesome houses and really lavish homes that I've never seen before.

Look at that! That's not a house that's like a government building or something! Anyway I trudged uphill for about twenty minutes till my skin turned moist and clammy. When I finally glimpsed the Mediacorp building I was underawed.

It looked like a hideous old school, moss-eaten, with crows circling overhead, like something out of a really bad local movie. I was not impressed. So much for TV being "glamorous"!

I finally got to the reception area - think I walked from the back of the whole compound to the front. There were cars pulling up and people walking in with hopeful faces (or maybe it's just me). I entered the air-conditioned reception area with relief and the Malay woman was just entering as well. She told the receptionist that she was there to collect a money order or something. The receptionist looked at her letter and then asked me what I wanted and I showed her my letter and explained that I was there to collect a prize.

Some murmuring ensued and the receptionists muttered to each other that they were sure all the prizes had been claimed and I arched my brow because I was way early (the deadline for collection was 30 Dec) but anyway the woman called the head of marketing or something and asked me to tell her myself what I was there to collect. Pretty shoddy work attitude if you ask me, especially for a "top-notch broadcast station".

The head of marketing or whoever she was sounded nice enough on the phone and I waited around for another ten minutes before some skinny guy in sunglasses came down and passed me the wine bottles in a bright pink Shokubutsu bag. How the hell is Shokubutsu related to Jacob's Creek.

So then I bustled home and took a picture of the beautiful dark-sheened bottles.

:) Anyway. I'm happy. I'm home nursing my periody head, the weather is nice and cool, and I have nothing due. Well.. my FYP. But I'll worry about that later. For now I can unwind and waste my time however I want.

Hope the holidays see you well!

Halloween capers

2011-10-26T01:55:00.002+08:00

It has been a long time, hasn't it? And to warrant a post, something awesome must have happened. And so it did - I've just attended Spooktacular, which is a Halloween event organized by the Development office which is also the office that oversees my job.

It was an awesome event. I was early cos my dad sent me; he was on the way to visit my sick aunt in the hospital. I went dressed from home, in my doggy bedroom slippers and lugging my stuffed dog Blue. The first hour was spent talking and laughing, taking pictures with my friends and fellow callers. I was extra delighted to see some of my old friends who've graduated - Yew Chin and friends - as I hadn't expected their presence.

There was a magician there who performed sleight-of-hand tricks. He asked David to sign on a card and then asked me to sign on another; he also asked me to write my phone number down which had everyone laughing - and miraculously it became one card which he handed to me to keep for a memory. There were make-up artists, temporary tattoo-artists and stands for awesome accessories that I haven't even seen in costume shops. Everyone could choose one to bring home and I selected a half Batman mask.

It was so awesome just to be interacting with everyone from an environment aside from the phoneroom. I really do think there's a great vibe in our workplace. Hossan Leong hosted the event; took some pics with him and he asked me onstage what the name of my dog was and when I said "Ah.. Blue," he repeated "Abdul??" which was funny. His stand-up skit was hilarious and the competition for best-dressed was sooo funny because the people were really enthusiastic. In the end Naiyun and I snagged best-dressed for our components but really it was just because the fact that we had three tables of friends meant that we'd garner the loudest applause. I lugged home the gift hamper and voucher for high tea to pass to my parents. We never seem to have a shortage of gifts nowadays.

It was great to catch up with old friends and get to know the new colleagues better.

I'm a little tired from all the excitement and perhaps that explains the strangely formal tone.

Perhaps I'll upload some pics from facebook if I have the time; nowadays my leisure time is spent on other things.

Much love,

Love

Because Lams = no. 1

A week full of months

2011-07-15T23:27:00.002+08:00

So don't ask me where I've been, because it is a long and tedious story full of nothing much; just know that I am happy. :)

The past three days, though, I've been working at the Cap and Gown graduation event, and it will continue for a few more weeks. This particular event though I did mostly with the three girls here.

Jingshi, Khai Ting and Cindy/Ah Neo. Khai Ting was really bored and asked us to make faces of "xi nu ai le" which are happy, angry, sad and super-happy?

Hahaha they crack me up.

Sigh. I have quite a lot on my mind, actually.

So tired. Headache and backache.

Well. This final year will pass really quickly.

I know it.

I both welcome and am nervous with regards to the future.

I went out with Raine last night. We had dinner and watched Transformers, which was crazy long. All that metal always gives me a headache, though I do like it despite its disjointedness. Maybe that's why I had that crazy dream about being part of a gang and this guy was gonna slice me with a super-sharp long knife when my alarm rang and I woke up.

Well.

That's all for now.

This had better be good

2011-06-26T22:57:00.002+08:00

Since it has been a long time coming, yes it better be good.

And it is it really is.

I never thought I'd say this, but I had so much fun at the Destiny gathering on Saturday.

I was falling asleep on the sofa when I remembered I had a gathering. Rongsheng texted me to ask if Sengkang peeps wanted to meet at Compass Point at 6. So I said ok.

I was there at 6:10, having withdrawn money, and he only arrived at 6:40 saying he was sorry but he had to go to John's house to get a laptop charger.

During the train ride Rong went to check how to get to the place and he discovered that it was nearer to Chinatown station than Clarke Quay. However if we went to Chinatown we'd be on our own and though he claimed his "Spider-sense" would guide us I didn't trust it so I told Bernice to wait for us. Well we made it to Clarke Quay but not before meeting Pamela. I gave her a hug - she's one of those people I was never close to in Secondary school but got closer to because of Facebook. Life's like that huh?

The first thing she did was gesture to me and Rongsheng with a questioning look and we both drew apart and shook our heads frantically. Hahahaha.

Anyway we got to Wilson and Bernice and walked to the place.

Where we waited for like an hour for Leroy, Chang Ting, Masam and Shang.

Leroy drove.

I tell you Leroy is hilarious. As is Shang. His mental processor is a bit spoilt. Hahahahahah

Anyway dinner was dismissable. It was what happened after that was fun.

We went to Studio M Hotel where Gladys had a room with John for her birthday. We stayed there for a bit, watching Aliens in the Attic and just bumming around, Shang trying to charge his phone on the superslow charger there. Then we went to look at the poolside where Shang said he once saw a similar water surface and stepped on it thinking it was glass. Typical Shang behaviour.

After that Leroy offered me a ride with him to Hougang. The rest were going to play Left for dead 2 with him. So we all went to Liang Court carpark and bustled into the tiny Vios. Masam sat in front with Leroy and the four of us squeezed in the back, Shang complaining about the size of our butts.

We were at the fifth floor. Leroy started the car and made a turn down the slope, halfway down which he stopped because there was a car in front. We stayed there for 40 minutes.

It was crazy and maddening.

Leroy got madder and madder as time went by and we tried calling LTA and even the police but each directed us elsewhere.

I tried soothing him by massaging him as Chang Ting suggested but he only responded when the queue finally moved about an hour later, when we were at the third floor, saying I should work at a massage parlour my fingers had the right pressure.

Chang Ting and Rong went scouting to check out the situation downstairs as did Masam after a while. I stayed in the car with Leroy and Shang who was playing Party in my room on his phone all the while.

When we finally got out it was 12:30 and sweet Leroy sent me home first before going for L4d2 with the rest.

It was an awesome experience actually.

Frustrating as hell when you were there, but one of those things you'll talk about for the rest of the gatherings.

Well. I'm doing fine. In fact I'm going to try and enter for a writing competition. Which I haven't done in years.

We'll see how it goes. ;)

Much love, Lydia

My one true love - work.

2011-05-24T23:28:00.012+08:00

That is the bell of both the beginning and freedom.

Yup, you got it. Today is a work post. Because this week is the last week that we will have this year's graduates with us, and they are all dear to me. I can't believe this - if I'm feeling like this when they are gone, how will I feel when I graduate? Because I know this now - I care for and will miss my workmates more than my coursemates.

Before I go on I have to tell you about the funny incidents I encountered today.

You see, before calling we'll usually look at the name of the alumni and some details such as whether they'd picked up before or given anything.

This alumni's first name was McDonald.

I snickered and told my friend beside me and turned back to the phonecall when a woman answered.

Me: Hello? May I speak to Mr. McDonald?

Woman: Mr who?

Me: Mr. McDonald?

Woman: *sarcastically* No, this is KFC.

And she hung up on me. I looked at the screen in shock.

Then I started to laugh and when my colleagues looked at me waiting for an explanation I couldn't stop laughing. Finally I caught my breath and told them. They laughed as well.

A while later I called this alumni called Peck Hwee. He said, "You looking for Peck Hwee or Peck Lee?" I said Peck Hwee. He said, "Peck Hwee is my brother. This is my number, it has never been his number." Trying to get a way to contact him I said, "Oh, is this your brother's email?" And proceeded to read it out. He kept quiet for a while and said, "That is my email. How did you get my email?" I was confused by now and when he said, "I don't know what you are doing because you say you're looking for my brother but you have my number and my email."

Well, it didn't end badly but it was hilarious because I was so confused by the whole thing.

Okay on to the pictures.

That's dear Alex & Ivan, both graduating and their bromance.

Alex, Weihong and Yew Chin with some face/arm cramp :P

Ivan not being an ass for once.

Ray & Alex :)

Xue Lian smiling to herself at the video shoot.

Ivan & Naiyun, who soon after this rips off his cap to show his freshly-cut hair. Which wasn't very appealing.

Weihong & I.

Ivan & his "swag".

Of course - the picture of the day: Naiyun topless. HAHHAHAHA this was hilarious.

:DDDD
iGave.

Board for the game on Farewell brunch in which we guessed the price of a hamper. Chan Fai won.

A list of objections. Definitely not exhaustible because alumni are amazing like that.

Where we work.

Graduates.
Nobody dares to sit in the center.

Of course I'm the buayba one.

So much love, and so little time.

Forever a part of me - NTU Phonathon.

We rock.

Love,

Lydia

The Alex post

2011-05-21T18:44:00.002+08:00

I guess after a year of waiting he deserves his own post.

There isn't much to say actually. I've said what I wanted to say on my lj.

Still.

He was there and I ran up to him, slipped my arm in his and shouted, "HI I MISS YOU SO MUCH," laughing giddily.

He grinned at me and pulled me into a hug, saying hi.

We fell into step and I asked him where we were going.

He said he didn't know. He stopped and looked around, then asked if I wanted to stay there at Raffles Place or go somewhere else. I shrugged.

"But I needa pee first," I said.

He nodded and said he'd wait for me outside. It was a long queue so I texted him that and he told me, "Haha alright. I'll go to topman k!"

Then of course when I got out I couldn't find him. Cos I've been to topshop but I didn't know where topman was. I figured it'd be near so I went to look for it. Just as I was giving up and texting him "where is topman??" I looked up to see him looking at his phone.

We went up and down looking for places to eat but he said he didn't want to eat anything western, having come from the US.

So in the end we just went to the foodcourt. I went to get food and then he did.

We sat and ate and spoke.

It was really nice.

I love meeting old friends who've been away.

There's so much to talk about.

It was funny cos he doesn't care what others think and just spoke whatever came to his mind.

After that I said I wanted to get a drink. So we went around again looking for places to go. Everywhere was full so we just walked around. He bumped into his friend who was with a girl and talked to him for a bit. Then he got his bright idea to go upstairs to see what there was.

We got lost after we went up to the convention halls. Found ourselves in a series of expensive-looking hotel-type places. We went outside to try and find our way but Alex has no sense of direction and refused to let me lead.

He went to the toilet four times.

"What?? Again?? But you just went!"

"You know I drink a lot of water!"

"Yeah but you didn't drink any just now!"

After that he led me to the National Library. We walked there, a familiar path since my mom used to work nearby and we'd walk there often.

All this while we were talking.

I was so exhausted by the time I got home.

I fell into a deep sleep and didn't wake up till noon.

Ah well.

There you go.

A more fleshed-out memoir.

For the days to come.

He's staying till August so no doubt I'll see him again.

After so much time away,

and he's still the same boy I know.

A post to top all posts!

2011-05-19T16:53:00.003+08:00

Lol at the pretentious title.

HELLO. I know I haven't been here in forever but I've been so busy!!

Okay let me see. What do I have to talk about.

Let's start with my parents' sudden and random trip to Japan.

The tickets were like $300 so they went with church/family friends.

So the three of us had the house to ourselves for a week.

They left on Sunday, which meant we slept at 5am on Sunday.

Hahahaha :P Nah I had work to do okay.

Generally there wasn't much difference actually.

We didn't eat, and Lewis did the ironing while I folded the clothes and Laraine cleared the rubbish every other day when she remembered or when we threatened to kill her.

We started to miss them after a while, of course. Mostly when nobody came home at 7 with food. We got by though. Made some Laksa ramen. Had diarrhea after. Ordered McDonald's. Had diarrhea after. Skipped meals. Had diarrhea after.

Slept late and watched tons of Disney movies. Lion King, Little Mermaid, Emperor's New Groove. Harry Potter, as well.

On the last day before my sister left for school I told her to be back early, since we had to clean up the house before our parents arrived. They'd be back early Friday morning, 3 am.

She came back in the evening - strangely she didn't come back any later than 9 on the days they were gone - and we gathered in the living room, my sister on the chair and my brother on the sofa.

I took a commanding position of course. I like to be on top.

Hahahaha.

Me: Okay, we have 6 tasks to fulfil. Each person will choose two and do them. Okay?"

Lewis: Where got 6 tasks.. You anyhow make up one.

Raine: What 6 tasks.

Me: Sweeping, dry-mopping, mopping, general clean-up of living room and study, general clean-up of kitchen and service balcony and vacuuming!

Lewis: I vacuum!

Raine: I mop.

Me: Ok we let Lewis choose first cos he iron clothes. Then Raine we scissors paper stone.

I won.

Me: Ok. Lewis what you want.

Lewis: Vacuum.

Me: Ok I sweep.

Raine: I mop.

Lewis: I dry-mop.

Me: I clean living room. That means Raine you clean kitchen and balcony. Ok?

All: Ok.

Me: Ok we start at 10.

Raine: No we start at 11.

Me: Oh yeah got American Idol.

So at about 10 + 11 we started to work. My sister got out her speakers and we turned on loud music as we did so. Eventually we started dancing. She was a bit high that day - no, a lot high - and she kept begging me to dance. So there we were, she was dancing in her underwear and my brother was threatening to take and publish videos of it until he got up and danced too.

It was awesome fun and we were perspiring like hell.

My brother went to sleep at about midnight and my sister and I watched TV and made laksa, waiting for my parents.

When they came through the door my dad said, "Why never sleep!"

And we told them we were waiting for them.

Mom came over and showed us all that she'd bought for us and I cradled the bottle of expensive shampoo she'd bought for me.

We went to bed at about 4.

So the days passed and we fell back into our usual routine.

Yesterday I came home with my mom and my dad told us something that had me in stitches.

Dad: Today very drama.

Me: Why.

Dad: Y'know I go Japan got this heavy leather jacket. I hang to dry. Then when I look back it's gone. Drop to 8th floor. So I went to 8th floor and knock nobody answer. I went one floor down cos it's in between 8 and 7 floor. They say sorry can't help cos they don't hang clothes one, ask me to wait for 8th floor auntie. Your brother very smart ask me to leave a note.

Me: What smart it's common sense.

Dad: So I left a note. Wait very long nothing happen. Then it started to rain so I look down. Auntie keep clothes. I went down and she answered the door and said Ok I help you take. I said very heavy ah she said ok. Then she came out and said sorry drop to 7th floor.

Me: HAHAHA

Dad: So I went to 7th floor and they say ok help me take I said very heavy ah they said ok. I went downstairs to watch and I saw the jacket drop past 6th floor to 5th floor. So I went to the 5th floor ask the malay auntie help me take.

Me: Wahlou damn dumb.

Dad: The whole thing took 45 minutes, run up and down.

Dumb like what, I tell you.

Anyway, I gotta go my arm is aching from typing too much.

One last paper tomorrow and then FREEDOM BABY

AND ALEX IS BACK

WHEEEEEE.

I'm so happy I can't begin to explain it.

HAVE A GOOD DAY

Love,

Some time on a Saturday

2011-04-30T17:48:00.003+08:00

Well hello. I have some time and so I decided to come here for a bit. I have a hideous headache. I'll settle it soon.. I have to transfer my sister's stuff on my laptop to an external drive because she got a laptop - She's just started school at Temasek Polytechnic and THANK GOD she's got a laptop so she won't clutter up mine anymore.

I'm quite excited because I love clearing up things. Okay gimme a minute - I wanna tie my hair so my head doesn't ache so much - okay back. Right so I was saying.. yes.

I just felt like writing here, because I was reading some of my entries back and I realized how skimpy it all has been.

We had lunch just now - Mom cooked, which, as you know, is rare. I was glad for it because I haven't been eating properly. I've been sleeping at odd hours and not eating - in fact I can't remember when I did eat and when I didn't - because of my assignments. There'll be one last one to turn in on Monday and then it'll be revision time - or starting time for those books I haven't touched.

I am quite excited for this holiday.

Of course I'm not going to London anymore - hate the whole drama that ensued because of it, and the realization that my mom wasn't going to let me go Anywhere even though I'm 21 already - and nor am I going to Australia to visit Yvonne but Alex is coming back, I'll have more time to do the crafts projects that I want to do, and I can plan little trips to wherever.

I will find a way around my mom's rules somehow. And anyway there are lots of things I can do here that I very much enjoy. :) Teehee.

I think I'll start drawing again - there are lots of things I want to draw, oh I'll have to go visit my grandma and bring her the things I bought a while back, maybe think about what to do for my FYP, groom my plants properly - there are some that died long ago but the pots are still there and I should really transplant those too large for their pots into bigger ones - and just do overall maintenance. Clean up my room - although I did that recently - and throw away the books I don't need anymore, maybe sell my Lit texts to juniors.

This semester break will be for cleaning up and re-organizing.

If I can I'll go on attachment, since I passed up on the sign-ups for attachments because I thought I was going to London with my cousin, but if it's too late I'll just go back to regular work, work every day and earn lots of money so that in the future I can go wherever I want without having to depend on anyone.

I haven't been spending a lot of money - because I've been so busy - which is good cos instead of me using up the money I earn and my allowance every month it's been slowly accumulating.

I cannot wait to be my own person, unaccountable to anyone.

It may sound reckless or something to some people but right now that is what I want to be.

I also have to start searching for actual potential jobs and companies to work with.

Ah well.

Such is life.

I'm just glad I have some sort of goal now, and that I'm no longer that unmotivated, close-to-giving-up depressed soul that I was last March.

Regards,

Lydia

A long time coming

2011-04-29T02:26:00.002+08:00

Hello I haven't been here in forever because I've been so busy trying to finish my essays, reports and presentations. I'm pleased to say that Fai and I turned in our 12page, font size 10, single-spacing report today and I can sleep well tonight because I only have one last essay due on Monday. :)

All right. There's nothing much to say, well there was filming at work last week. It was very fun to have a camera crew around. They were very fun - there was this big burly guy with an intense stare and really long hair in ponytail - he added me on facebook and I loled because his name was unfamiliar until I saw his picture - he said it took him 3 years to grow it and asked me how long it took for me. There was also this guy - the guy in charge with an accent that I couldn't place. He was very gentlemanly and sweet and didn't scold me even when I made them retake a scene because I sniggered, "Oh really" and it could be heard in the take.

Weihong was there and he wheeled me around. I held on to his swivel chair and he went spinning round the room. I was laughing so much. I had a lot of fun. I was exhausted, though, as I'd only had three hours of sleep, working on my American Modernism essay, so I was actually closing my eyes during the last scene which filmed our backs.

I listened to Daniel complain about the bad quality of the female voices in the igave song, and listened to basically anyone who spoke to me.

I love my job so much.

Anyway it's the last week of work til after exams so I won't be calling til then.

Today my mom got up to her weird antics again. She came tottering out at midnight (my mom's walk at night is the dictionary definition of the word totter) after napping and asked my dad to bring her a pear and asked if it was soft or hard.

Well it was hard so she ate one side and left it on the table. She whined for my dad to finish it for her and my dad said, "If someone has to choose between eating this pear and having a death sentence they'd go for the death sentence!"

Which is a bit of a stretch but okay it kinda looks like a carcass lying there.

Then not long after I heard a rustle and she was fumbling with her bag of chips and my dad didn't take it from her properly and all the chips fell on the ground. My mom was grumbling and picking pieces up from the floor to eat as I took this picture. They were actually arguing with each other when I said, "WAIT LET ME TAKE PICTURE" and my mom went off into peals of laughter.

Yes yes I love my family very much thank you.

So basically I am very happy with where I am now.

And I'm going to relish this last year while it lasts.

Because then it's the workplace for me.

Gotta go or my dad'll kill me -

Lydia

Darren's album

2011-04-16T00:04:00.003+08:00

Here're Darren's photos. My dad's being a pain so I'll just leave brief captions.

Firstly is aforementioned Dad on jetski with Uncle Ben. I like how you can see the open sea here.

I took it, actually. LOLOLOL

Dad and Ben.

Guys on the boat.

Raine & Angeline.
Pulau Hantu & its clear water.

Before we left.
Dad snorkelling with somebody else. I think it's Darius. LOL they look so funny here.

Raine, Darius and I after jumping in on the way back.

Raine with the plumes we left in our wake.

:)
All right. Two essays down, one more due Monday and a presentation, then one term paper and another essay due early May. Then exams. Much love.

I wike you wery much!

Love,

Pulau Hantu & other islands :)

2011-04-12T21:50:00.005+08:00

This morning I was rudely awakened by my dad at 7:15am. I've not been awake at that time in ages.

I scrambled out of bed, and we went downstairs half an hour later to be greeted by Angeline, Mark and their sons Darren and Darius. We were to go jetskiing, snorkelling and boating.

I KNOW RIGHT. LIKE HOW RANDOM CAN YOU GET.

As it is I have an essay due on Friday - which I swear I will get done by tomorrow so I can concentrate on my presentation due next Monday, and then write the other essay due next Monday as well. How could I resist when they said jetskiing :( Mom and Lewis wanted to go too but Mom had to show a new batch of students around her school at open house and Lewis had some prefect thing. So anyway here're the pictures that I took. Darren took a lot more and maybe I'll post some when I get them. I'm feeling woozy, like there's a floating feeling around me as if I'm still on the boat -.-

So, first, at the club. Raine walks ahead with Darius.

The yachts.
Darren fixing things.
How clear the water is at Pulau Hantu. Those dark patches are a strange sort of seaweed that look like leather but upon closer look is actually just square-tipped sea grass with moss on it.

Before we even left the harbour we spotted jellyfish in the water.

Dad is happy.
Raine & I.

Angeline and Mark - who own the jetskis.

One of the other islands we stopped at. We drove for about one hour. When I first got on the back of Uncle Ben's jetski I was so frightened by the extreme speed and noise. You should know what a scaredy cat I am. But after a while I got used to gripping the sides of the seat and leaning into the dips and splashes. It started to feel like when someone zoomed around in a car at night, and that thought calmed me through the stretch of clear water. There's this thing about wide open sea that both thrills and strikes fear into me.

My sister. Being silly as usual.

Dad lowering the anchor for our short stay. We snorkelled around trying to catch fish in a tiny net. Lololol so funny. When we looked up we were no longer in the shallows, the boat was so far away and the parents were waving us back.

Uncle Ben caught two fish. Darren caught a larger one, with yellow fins, but I didn't take a picture of it. We threw them back before we left, though they'd been through "dental".

Back on land at the jetty.

My face is red as hell and I've got burns in places I have never had burns, and I am constantly floating on my chair in the study, bobbing as if on the boat.

I had fun.

Reallyreally. On the way back, when we were nearing the jetty Uncle Mark stopped in the deep sea and we jumped off the boat to swim around. The water was so refreshing after the fierce sun but the current was very strong and Auntie Angeline was tired so we climbed back in the boat. After that we returned to the club and Raine, Darius and I went to the pool to dip ourselves. There was an old man who kept staring at us and we went down the tiny baby slide (there was nobody there other than him) and then to the jacuzzi where I aimed my butt at the jets to massage my glutes that were sore from clenching against the side of the jetski and bumping on the seat of the boat.

I'm exhausted. Will be up tomorrow to do my essay and then go to work - which I missed today, thank God, because I couldn't make it in time.

Have a good night, you.

Love,

bobbing V

you make me so lonely baby I get so lonely I could die

2011-04-06T18:48:00.003+08:00

Let me show you some 9gag posts about me.

Hahaha.
:)

Sigh. I handed in my essay last night..and went to work. Wanted to withdraw money to eat but the machine was out of money so I called dear Weihong who went to find me and gave me money.

He's so sweet.

But there's this girl.

Hahaha.

Anyway we're great friends at phonathon and last night was my first mentoring session. It was fun actually to mentor someone. Mmmm.

I'm in my room with my sister. She's on my bed watching Glee on her iphone and has been all day.

Mom is home today so she's gonna cook which is good because I've been losing weight like nobody's business and I don't want to. So I've been polishing off bottles of chocolate and getting chapped lips.

Ahwell. Nobody's gonna kiss me anyway. Not anytime soon, at any rate. Busy period. Essays and exams coming up.

Jiayou all my mugging friends.

Peace out.

Swinging saturday

2011-04-02T17:58:00.002+08:00

I'm sitting in the study. Singing terribly with my brother. Hahaha. Haven't been here in a while. I was woken up early in the morning by the following message.

I was like, what???? Buy a helicopter?? LOLOLOL.

Ah this is very true. :)

Hahahaha my dad just shouted, "YOU SHUT YOUR MOUTH HOR BEFORE I MAKE YOU REALLY SAD HOR,"

Hahaha. :D Ah well. I'm happy. The presentation went great. I had fun yesterday. Oh I didn't tell you? I went on a date. Well it was nothing much really. ...Just been a long time. Mom's cooking dinner, I'm feeling happy. Y'know. :)

Ah well next week it'll be the start of the heat - essays coming up real soon so I'll be typing them instead of being here and other places.

I worked a lot this week. Had tons of fun of course, as is always the case ;)

Mmm. That's all. I think. Don't really want to go into details. Yep. That's it. :) Have a good day, you, and I leave you with this gasp-worthy picture.

It's Fried Egg Fried Egg Danial!

2011-03-26T01:48:00.003+08:00

We shall start off with this bizarre contraption.

And now!! Presenting! My camera shy #1 LOVER!!!

Hahaha and my new wallet. Hhahahaha

ICE CREAMMMM. Cos we couldn't catch the movie we wanted :(

Mary and Max. I read that it's about depression. A CARTOON ABOUT DEPRESSION LIKE HOW COOL IS THAT. Only shown in ONE theater in Singapore though. If you know of any other please text me.

He is SO INDECISIVE I SWEAR.

"Ermm.."
"Dunno what to eat.."
"Mmmm."
"Okay."
"But wait.."

Hahaha.

I talked so much my throat got sore.

Still.

Much love bestie.

Never called you that before huh.

Well you better leave a tag on my tagboard to throw the bots off balance!!

*hugs*

Nothing like dinner and pouring your heart out (along with other indiscriminate nonsense) to someone you care about and who cares about you.

Peace out.

Mydollyaviana has had a great day.

Star Trek for lecture, yo!!

4th in 9gag -

yawn.

2011-03-16T19:04:00.003+08:00

I just felt like I should blog.. cos I've been blogging once a week at least. But there's not much to say.. This is my recess week. Went to watch Rango with the family yesterday. Worst movie experience ever. Not because of the show, I liked the show. There was a mother with a daughter on her lap next to me. And next to her was her other daughter on her husband's lap.

Throughout the show the girl would tell her mom that she was thirsty. To which the mom would reply,

"Wait a while."

"Wait how long mom? I want to go."

"A while."

And after a bit.

"Can we go mom I'm thirsty."

"No not yet."

"But it's a while already."

"Must wait until finish."

And then the daughter on the dad's lap wanted to sit on Mom's lap.

"I wanna sit with you Mom."

"No."

"But Mom I wanna sit with you."

And she did that extreme stretch/arch of the back that kids like to do.

Meanwhile behind me was a kid who didn't know what was going on.

"What's aqua mommy."

"Aqua is water."

And so it went, with questions and answers throughout the show.

To make things even worse there was an autistic kid at the end of my row, moaning loudly like a wounded elephant throughout the movie.

I mean, I understand, it's sad that you have an autistic kid and all, but if I were you and I Really had to bring my noisy autistic kid to the movies I'd at least bring him to a secluded theater where he would not bother anyone.

I had a terrible headache at the end of it.

And the only kid that was vaguely entertaining was the one who whispered to his dad, "Daddy, he want to say B-I-T-C-H right?" when some reptile's cry was obscured by a bird screeching.

Ah well. Seems like there was stuff to say after all.

I'll be back.

P.S. I'm number 4 all time on 9gag and I have 424 admirers. Eat my dust ray3c

La Mer

2011-03-07T23:32:00.004+08:00

So we went to the beach on Saturday. It was fun. Really fun and stress-relieving. :) Haven't been to the beach as a family in ages.

This was the sign we came to and I said, "Oh look there's a Mountain in Singapore, Mount Bicycles," and my sister said, "Lame."

Here she's trying to convince my parents that it's better at this spot and she's pointing at them trying to get me to stop them cos y'know I can. But I didn't cos I wanted to go there.

Setting up..
After eating, Lew and Raine go off.

:) I love when Mom is happy.

Haha I like this picture a lot.

Mom's applying lotion for dad and he, with his ego and his "chicken" (chinese for muscle) is flexing his bicep.

He's always coming to me after pumping iron and saying, "Eh, 'Dia. See. See my ji rou. So good. Big right."

And I'm like, "Dad. I have friends who've much bigger muscles."

And he counters, "Yes, but are they nearing 50?"

And I'm like, "Don't disturb me la."

But I'll admit it to you, contedefee, he's well-kept for his age.

Raine lazing away and Lewis bobbing.

I like the photo below but Lewis is in the don't-publish-photos-of-me teen phase.

Love.
Dad found an elmo somewhere on the beach and started tucking it behind his ear and in his trunks.

I KNOW RIGHT. LIKE WHAT THE HELL.

He's always picking up junk and storing it. Like what sia. He brought home a wooden giraffe long ago and it's been standing in the corner of the living room ever since, annoying people. That day mom was looking for stuff to give to her art school for students to draw and she wanted to take my soft toy Bugsy so I told her to take the giraffe. He declined vehemently.

Hahaha I think Dad looks like Wolverine here.

:)
Ah well. Life's okay. Busy, actually. Lotsa things to do. Mmm. I enjoy my lessons. All of them actually. All interesting books and/or films. I'm glad I chose these mods. Must do well this sem; left two more sems only!

God I'm graduating next year.

Both apprehensive and excited.

When I start work I can actually help the household expenses, relieve Mom of her stress. And also I can do stuff! :D And save up for future things.

If I never get attached I want to buy an apartment and live with cats and one dog.

I know, seems like it's hard but that's my alternative goal.

Yepyep.

Quite happy actually.

Only thing is my back hurts these few days.. around the shoulder? Seem to have strained it but I didn't do anything.. I think it's my sleeping position. :/ My pillow is a veritable squashed lump every morning. I know. My head is big and heavy.

Alright it's hurting now, the back of my shoulder blade, even as I type.

Maybe it's some internal cancer and I'll die soon.

If I do, tell you this, contedefee you've been the best ever.

Love,

it's been a long time hasn't it

2011-02-28T22:46:00.003+08:00

To start off we'll have one of my favourite lolthings.

So this is what you've missed out on, contedefee.

Went to the beach with sister.

Took pics of bro & sis in Uncle Mark's beetle.

Had supper with Saffie.
Slept with Fai.

Saw a heart tree at NTU.
My spiderlilies bloomed.

I think minimalism is good sometimes, don't you?

Promise I'll give you a good long wordy post about all that has happened when time stops moving so quickly.

Love,

big fat hairy deal

2011-02-21T00:08:00.002+08:00

So I highlighted my hair. My cousin Wendy took this when I was sleeping. I could feel her fingers unravelling my braid to take it.

See my heels. I recently rediscovered this. My dad has been packing the storeroom hehe.
:)
Ok that's all nothing else.

Really right. Nothing to say leh.

a funny day or two

2011-02-14T23:17:00.003+08:00

Here's the pic I promised.

We are ambassadors of coke.

Today was/is Valentine's Day. I dressed up pretty, and went to school to write poetry for other people for Epiphany, the English department's publishing board. I did it for a friend.

After school I went to Dover to wait for my mom, cos her workplace recently moved to Fusionopolis. I called to ask which side I should wait on, and she said SP side. So I waited there. Ten minutes later she called to say she accidentally took a wrong turn and would be arriving at the other side. I moaned and said ok I'd go over. Then she called again and said she can't see any MRT station and she thinks she overshot the stop and is at the next MRT. I said so you want me to cross over and you u- turn? And she said ok.

Haha. It was very funny somehow. She was laughing when I got into the car. My mom was in a good mood today. It's awesome when mom's in a good mood. She came out giggling at eight, saying, "Girl I tell you a joke," (that's what she calls me, girl. Only thing is she calls my eldest cousin Wendy girl too so when she says girl at my grandma's we both go yes? And Wendy says she's the "original girl" and I'm like whatever) and I say yeah? And my sister and I were watching Devil so she asked me to pause it cos she wanted to hear the conversations.

"Last night I woke up at 2 am and tell your father to go up two floors, he was reading, and he look at me and say what? Then I went back to sleep and wake up again and say, two floors up and he stare at me and say it's 2:30am." And she went into a fit of giggles. My sister and I stared at each other and smiled at her. She stumbled back into her room and we could hear her telling my dad in hokkien, "I told them they two keep laughing." I whispered to my sister, "Is she keep laughing lor," and my sister said "Ya lor," and we continued the show. Hahahaha.

Here're the lovely cookies Sarah baked today :)

Oh this is Kitty. Yknow the one I blog about regularly, the one who lives on the third floor?

HAHAHAHA AND THIS BASKET

IS THE ORIGIN OF SO MUCH LOL

Ok what happened was this. Mom wanted to go to the new mall Nex after church yesterday, so we did. There were so many eateries she didn't know which one to try so I told her Hot Tomato is good. So we went there. We were eating happily when suddenly Dad said, "Don't you wish you are very small?" I looked at him and said, "Huh??" and he said, "So you can sleep in this basket." My mom looked at him with a omg you are so lame I can't believe I married you look, and he grinned and reached out and smacked his glass of ice lemon tea all over her food and lap.

We burst into laughter and my mom was flummoxed. The manager, who happened to be walking by, whisked her plate away and my brother shouted, "MOM HE TAKE YOUR FOOD AWAY!" LOLOLOOLOL and wiped up the mess.

My sister and I laughed and laughed and told my dad, "SO YOU CAN SLEEP IN THIS BASKET HAHAHAHA"

So funny. After that we kept making references to it. Said the manager had been watching us all along and could sense something was amiss that's why he was there so quick. Mom went, "Yeah la later you pour ice lemon tea on my shoe again!" Hahahahah.

Titanic is playing now, and I'm happy. :)

Something's wrong with 9gag, it's wonky now.

Ah well.Will see you soon baby ;)

Love,

Happy V Day after all

Lydia

well hello yellow fellow

2011-02-08T23:58:00.001+08:00

I pierced my ear today.

I mean, it's already pierced. But I got another piercing at the top of my right ear.

I texted my sister and she was like WTH and all that. She came back and made a beeline for me and said, "From far can see already lor. And it's not even in a nice spot."

But I say nothing cos I know she's just jealous and doesn't have the nerve.

And also I know it's cos she thinks it's more like Her to do such a thing.

But hey you have no guts sista.

It was entirely on a whim.

I was in class today and saw a girl with a ring on her ear in that spot and I mused on how nice it was and decided I wanted to get one sometime.

I went for dinner with Fai after and I told her casually about it and she said, "Go la after this."

I looked at her.

"Really? Okay lor."

So we went. Hahaha. I asked her how much she said can't be more than 10 bucks I said if more than 15 then I won't pierce and she said definitely won't be, and I said yeah la.

It cost 3 bucks.

The person who pierced it for me was a young boy with tattoos at X Craft. I kept saying So nervous so nervous!! And I could see him smiling in amusement even as I left.

Well.

That's that for now. I'll be home tomorrow so maybe blog more tomorrow kay, ;)

Love you.

CNY and other things

2011-02-04T23:13:00.005+08:00

I haven't been here in forever because I've been so busyyy.

Well here's the Chinese New Year post. :) I've been at my grandma's. Mostly sleeping in the afternoons. Eating. Yeah. Hahaha.

Here's my small aunt. :) Such a cheeky face. She's the one who sewed my jeans into a bag.

Here's my littlest cousin Jadey.

My favourite CNY goodie. Almond cookies. Or, solid fat.

My cousins playing mahjong. I didn't get to play cos I was sleeepiiin. :)

That's Gordon, my cousin Victoria's Hongkong boyfriend :) And steamboat! Which I invariably get diarrhea/food poisoning from. That there is Lester Ng and his mom Auntie Ah Jo.

Aaand the others playing Banlak.

At the paternal side. My cousin Joey. :)

Sidnii. My cousins' Wendy and Pearly's dog.

Tried out the fishtail braid. :)

Oh and look what I found on the inside of my grandma's closet. Queen Elizabeth!! I was like wth?? I asked my mom and she said, "Oh. Yeah. It's her idol. When we went London she insisted we go and buy the poster."

Like ooooooooookayyyy. Revelation, much.

Anyway. That's about it for today. I promise one day I will blog more substantially instead of just these pictures and descriptions.

Love you contedefee.

out

just a sneezy saturday

2011-01-29T18:59:00.002+08:00

Yup I've been sneezing. :/ Not feeling so good, dang it. Ever since I got my feet wet from the rain the past two days. I took a panadol cold pill and a scoop of the chinese throat medicine and went to bed, only to wake up groggy and fuzzy-headed.

So here is the mindboggling awesome picture I saw on 9gag.

Batman/Wolverine?

Gawesome, lehhh.

And Friday I had lunch with Saffie.

Just staying home, watching Happy Feet later, adding photos to watch my ranking go higher on 9gag.

Argh by dose.

Yeah.

Okay la nothing more I'll be back another time contedefee.

;)

love,

sleepy wednesday

2011-01-26T17:42:00.003+08:00

Sometimes I feel like the lamp on the right.

Haha. That's from http://wulffmorgenthaler.com. Which is awesome. It's a rainy, lazy Wednesday. I've been watching Louis C.K. on youtube. The guy is hilarious. Seriously. Last night I was up at 3 watching his stand up comedy and laughing so loudly I had to stifle my laughs. LOLOLOL.

Aaaand I saw this on 9gag. Awesome idea. Think it's a bit too PG for facebook though.

Oh I saw this awesome Batman shoe at Compass Point. Wish I were a guy so I can wear it. I mean I can, but.. well.

And this last picture is from the time I went out with Bertram. He threw the peanut shells on the ground and I was like, what??? And he said yeah that's what they do here and I looked down.

Slightly woozy.

What Louis C.K. says he'd do if he were a millionaire like Bill Gates.

"One day I'd just go out and buy all the pants in the world. Burn every pair of them. Start over with making pants."

LOLOL WTH

He's so funny I swear. He spoke about this waitress who was into him but didn't let him touch her butt, and the next day she asked him why didn't they get it on he said cos you stopped me and she said oh I wanted you to just go for it. I like a guy who just holds me down and does it. And he said, Oh, you think I'm just gonna rape you on the off chance that hopefully you're into that shit?

HAHAHAHAHAHHA

Here's the link for you if you wanna watch.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=za7jQ1s1BV0

Awright. I'm off to do something else. Yip! Bye!

Love,

quickie before daddy kills me

2011-01-24T00:21:00.003+08:00

Well hi contedefee this will be quick as the title says lol first up OMG JUSTIN LONG AND JONATHAN TOGO FROM CSI.

Aaand I caught a glimpse of my brother letting my sister lean on his shoulder during church so I soooo had to take a picture.

Things got ugly quick.

Ahaha and my crazy mom tied the croc up in knots.

Oh and the one below is hilarious. Bean flower water is direct translation for beancurd in Chinese.

Aaand the other day the bus came straight to my void deck for me. Hahahaha! No la not really for me it just happened to be there. :P

In other news. I'm finally number 9 on 9gag which means I'm on the first page in top users WOOHOO.

Nonsense right ya I know. I find it comforting when my 9gag friends come to my stead, though. Y'know. When other nonsense users criticise me. Which is rare, but still.

Y'know how sensitive I am. And to have old users say they love me, oh that just makes my day. Really.

Mmmm. School's starting. New Year's coming. Anything else? I've been driving a lot smoother. Mmm. Yeah I think that's pretty much it for now. Went to a bar with Bertram on Tuesday and had lots of fun. Hahahaha. OK GTG DAD'S HERE OH NO BYE

Love!

nothin' much, nope nothin' much at all

2011-01-18T00:32:00.002+08:00

So. I'm here cos I haven't been here in a while and I feel some sense of obligation.

I'm sorry contedefee for the way our relationship has been going. I have been busy with other things and people. But I'm here now and I still care about you.

Anyway I'm crazy cos I'm having my period, my back aches and my mood swings have been maddening.

Last Saturday we had a 3206 gathering. Some pics.

Jason closed his eyes for this picture.

Then Greg closed His.
Christine and Guan with his uber flashy grin.

Ahhh Guan is the funniest.

So. I have been busy with work. Working every day. Laughing a lot at work.

Today Jasmine got to call Rui En. Yes. The actress. She's NTU alumni. She called everyone and we went to look. Alex was her big fan so he screamed and asked to call her. Since Jasmine was nervous about talking to Rui En she let him.

I took a video of it. But it has personal details belonging to Rui En so I haven't published it.

Guess what.

The number was not in use.

Hahahaha so much drama for nothing.

But I kinda expected it anyway.

There're several other things happening but I am not at liberty to say.

I bought several books which I'm loving. Neil Gaiman's "Smoke and mirrors" which I've been trying to find in libraries with no success. And also "My mother she killed me, my father he ate me" which I read about in a book review. An anthology of fairy tales. It has a line about your own true love being disguised as an Albanian which struck me since Albania is of certain significance to me suddenly.

Sigh. Fai is upset about results.

Anyway my small aunt made me a bag out of my purple jeans and it's awesome. I love it so much.

Here's the link:

http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1553728279939&set=t.586236016

All right I'm going off. Super tired and back is aching cos of my period.

Night contedefee.

I still love you.

day out with victoria :D

2011-01-13T00:57:00.003+08:00

So today I met Victoria at Orchard. She wanted to go shopping. While I was waiting for her who would come up to me but Sharmaine! I hugged her and we talked for a bit and Vic came out of nowhere.

Me: Oh this is Victoria.

Vic: I know her.

Me: REALLY

Sharmaine: ..?

Vic: From CJ.

Sharmaine: Ohhh yeah! Your voice is so different now!

Me: Really meh?

Vic: Really??

So then we went walking around. Had a good time. She wanted to find slacks but we couldn't. Orchard too high class for slacks. LOLOL. :) Then we went to Plaza Sing to get knitting patterns for my grandma :) We talked a lot. Haha. She told me about her new girlfriend, though I had to press her for details. Okay show you pics.

We did the customary vulgar picture. Although you can't really tell here.

This is Vic with her prawn mee. :) AGAIN PRAWN MEE.

:)
In the toilet. "One thing good about going on a date with a lesbian is you can take pictures together in the toilet." LOLOLOL

"NO I'M FUGLY."

Her shirt blends in with the background. Ribena, blackcurrant and strawberry!

Yup. :) She'll be back in June.

SAME TIME AS ALEXXXXXX.

And.

I like George a lot.

Love

the work post

2011-01-07T15:05:00.002+08:00

Today I shall post about work. But before that, here's a shot of the figurine on top of Comics Connection at Jurong Point. LIKE WTH RIGHT. Yeah la it's actually holding up two fingers but it looks like the middle finger!

Fai and I went to watch Love and other drugs and I cried a few times during the movie aiya sappy me and it was so hot and sweet and sad all at the same time.

After that I went to work. This is where the work stuff begins.

This is Kha Piau, one of my colleagues. He's in year 2 and he's very funny really. That's him in the brochure. I told him they confirm photoshopped it and he insists they did not.

That's Jiamin, my supervisor. :) She's awesome hot.

Oh and this is the board that kept score of our little work game. Every time someone got a pledge they could kill someone, and everyone had three lives. If you got two pledges you could restore a life or resurrect yourself if you were dead. Jiamin wrote Voldemort under mine cos I resurrected so many times.

And this, actually, is one of my greatest prides in my life. Getting so many pledges. :)

But the real reason I'm posting is because yesterday, while calling, I looked at the name as usual, admittedly to see if it was a funny one so I could shout it to Kha Piau (he got a Tan Chee Kern on Wednesday LOL) but I saw that it was "Loh Chih Hui". And I said, eh, same as my history teacher in jc. Then I looked at the address and OH SHIT LILAC ROAD which I remembered was Mr Loh's address cos we went there before and I love lilacs.

So I made the call to his house, rather nervously, and his father told me he wasn't in. So I checked anxiously for a handphone number and tada there it was. So I called him.

I heard his very distinctive, rather cultured voice on the line.

"Hello."

"Hello, may I speak to Mr Loh Chih Hui?"

"Yes, this is he."

"Hi this is Lydia I'm a student caller from NTU."

"All right."

I switched from my professional tone to my usual one.

"Mr Loh! Actually I'm Lydia from 3206 do you remember me??"

"Lydia? ..Yes, yes I remember." *smile in his voice*

"Oh I can't believe it I'm calling you! Okay anyway I actually want to tell you about alumni giving."

"Oh. Lydia is it okay if I call you back because I'm talking to my colleague about something."

"Sure sure I'll call you back at ..."

"7:30?"

"Okay. Thanks. Bye!"

"Bye."

So I made a manual call fifteen minutes later, even though we were having a break.

"Hello? Mr Loh?"

"Yes. Hello Lydia. How are you."

"I'm good. Hahah I was so excited when I saw your name yknow! Cos I recognized your address."

"Haha so, you're in NTU?"

"Yes I'm studying English Literature. Year 3."

"Wow. Time passes fast."

"Yeah. Anyway let me get this out of the way first - I'm calling about alumni giving. It's an annual campaign and we want to know if you're interested in making a gift to the NTU bursary fund which helps subsidize school fees for undergraduates who require financial assistance."

"Mm. Okay, what are the donation amounts?"

"Well the asking price is actually -"

"Haha got asking price?"

"Haha it's the price they ask us to get la. It's $120 cos you can support a student for a year. But if you're not comfortable with that you can donate lesser amounts la."

He burst into laughter.

"Okay I'll make the donation. What are the payment methods?"

"You can donate by credit card or cash. I'll send a pledge form to your address and you just need to fill it in and mail it back to us."

"Okay then send me the pledge form. You have my address?"

"Yes. So how much will you be donating?"

"$120 la."

"Ohhh thank you so much Mr Loh by the way we're having class gathering this saturday!"

At which my supervisor looked up and laughed.

"Oh I can't this saturday I have a wedding dinner."

"Oh okay then. Maybe next time."

"Yup. Anyway it was nice to hear from you."

"Yeah. Me too. Have a good day Mr Loh."

:DDDDDDDDDDDDDD

So that's that and since I made a mistake, the class gathering is next week not this week we might actually get to see him again!

Much love.

I'm kinda bouncy now.

and it's 2011 suddenly.

2011-01-02T23:31:00.002+08:00

:) I had fun. I mean. Hahaha. Yeah. Relaxed.. and.. well had fun. Hahaha.

Yup the sequence is backwards la dey.

Aaaand after that Hanzalah came to find us and we took the skyride and luge together. I SCREAMED LIKE MAD even though I've taken it before somehow it was scarier this time. The skyride I mean not the luge.

Yup I've got the luge mark on my hand now.

Fong was supposed to come but he was busy with Idontknowwhat and he said somewhat crossly, "I told you I'm busy today already what," when Hanzalah called him and passed the phone to me.

Pfft. Whatever. -.-

Anyway. Had fun. Then after that the three of us went to watch Gulliver's travels. Haha. :DD I think the last part was damn bizarre when Jack Black burst into song.

LOL.

:) K la tired.

Night, contedefee.

Btw. 114 admirers on 9gag. ;)

Love,

christmas comes queer this year

Yesterday I went out with Si Wei. And the pictures are in reverse order, dang it. Ah well it's ok; the first picture is of Darren with a glass of wine and the Christmas dinner my mom prepared. My mom la. Didn't even tell me we had Christmas eve dinner. I mean, what makes you think I'll have no plans??? Anyway I came back in time for most of it.

I bought this ABSOLUTELY LOVELY art journal from Page One. I tell you I bought so many things there I'm crazy. It's full of prompts like "Fill this page with stickers" or "Write about your favourite hero" and stuff like that. Super fun.

The Christmas tree at Vivo.

Rosti with German sausage. :)

Yup. Ah well.

...

I dreamt of you last night.

It sucks, that the only way I'm able to see you is in my dreams.

in-a-sucky-mood,

Love,

batam :D

2010-12-20T15:18:00.007+08:00

Well hello dearest contedefee I've been away for a few days. We went to Batam for church retreat and it was awesome!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA I have so many things to tell you but I'll show you some photos first kay. The thumbnails damn small dunno why la.

Group photo in the pool. Last day. :)

Lao Ying Zua Xiao Ji. Eagle catch chick. Hahaha so fun la especially because we were in the water which made it harder to move.

Oh the funniest picture ever.

And my mom's dancing is da bomb.

Group pic.

Swimming at night. No lights. Damn exciting.

The super big dua tao.
Raine with the ayam penyet. The rice is stuffed and rolled in a banana leaf, so cute!

Oh and when we went back on the second day they had made up our room and look at how they placed my dog nicely!

Darren inviting us into the bus. :D

One of the pools.
And the loveliest bed ever I SWEAAAARRRR.

We had a lovely time. And it's the sleepiest trip I've ever had. I slept EVERYWHERE I don't even know whyyyy. 90% of the time I was asleep on the bus. There's some hynotic thing about the bus ah.

And the second day we went go-karting and for a full body massage which is the funniest thing ever HAHAHAHAHAHA I forgot that I was topless and I leaned up and to the right to tie my hair and when I saw the masseuse's face I realized what was wrong and I squealed and went back down. All the masseuses laughed.

Alamak damn funny I wasn't even really embarrassed you know; what does that say about me???

And I had a female accident in the Ralph Lauren shop. I felt weird so I wanted to go the toilet. There was someone inside so I waited outside when suddenly I was surrounded by salesgirls and they told me, "There's a toilet the other side." So I was like, oh, wondering why they were so nice to me when one of them pointed between my legs and I looked down at my WHITE shorts to see a spreading triangle of red.

LIKE WTHHHHHHHHH so I went and fixed myself and tied my jacket round my legs.

Went to ask my mom if I could get shorts only to be chastised and sent back to the bus where my irritating admirer had to come and try to ask me out.

ARSCHLOCH I'M BLEEDING.

So anyway in the end I did get a pair of shorts because I only brought one pair, dumb as I am. Forgot to bring any bottoms. Hahahaha

Yeah a lot of funny things happened. Really. :)

Had a lot of fun and we could get Singapore's network there so I texted and talked to Si Wei on the phone. Yea strange right I've been talking to Si Wei. He's having his IPPT today.

Okay gtg. Exams tomorrow and Wed and I'm free. ;) Love ya contedefee. Be back soon, I'm sure!

Love,

Lydia

(Or, as Si wei says he wants to call me, Vyona)

all about animals

2010-12-16T16:31:00.003+08:00

So yesterday I went to Tampines with Fai. We went for lunch and then to my old house to get new hamsters because my brother's hamsters all died. On my birthday, no less. He wept the whole day and it was the quietest day ever in the house.

I got a lovely little black and white female and a white male because he said he likes pearl whites. After that we went to the airport to send off her friend Adam. She finally got me to meet this guy Fong that she's been wanting me to meet. Lol. So funny. HAHAHAHAHAHA well after that we went back to Tampines and lolled about at Starbucks. It was very funny yes it was. The guys kept trying to get Fong and I together. So they asked Fong (shit why'm I calling him Fong his name is Kelvin) to go get drinks with me and I was gonna go when Fai said she'd go and suddenly everybody stood up and I laughed saying who's going?

Fong: You said ywanna go but you not going!

Me: Cos y'all all stand up!

So in the end me, Fong and Imran went. While we were waiting for the drinks I asked about their siblings and Fong asked me to guess so I guessed that he was the second child even though Imran mouthed "third". Fong said I was the eldest and Imran said "Nooo she can't be the eldest cos the eldest is very serious," and I went, "OI!" And they both said, "OHHHH SHE'S THE ELDEST." Hahahahaha and then they said I had to do a forfeit cos I guessed wrongly and Fong said I could choose to jump around and make a face at the starbucks cashier or order a drink seductively.

HAHAHAHA WHATEVER RIGHT

Anyway it's supposed to be an animal post. So here're the hamsters. :) The black and white one is Oreo and the other one's yet unnamed.

Oh and here is the cat who lives downstairs. He's very sweet and affectionate and will take the lift with you if you say Meow nicely enough. Look.

He crouches as the doors start to open.

Eh, why not opening?

Andddd he slinks out.

Yup he then takes the stairs back down.

Awesome sexy cat, he is.

Sometimes I wish I were a cat.

Then I can tongue-bath.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Ohh I know why I suddenly thinking about cats because I've been talking to Si Wei (yes that's Si Xu's older twin) and he loves cats too we were up all night talking about breeds and stuff.

To Von - I KNOW RIGHT HAHAHAHAHAHA

He said he's very bored in camp and I said aiyo nvm I can text you if you're bored especially after my exams I'll be super free and he said okay you can move in then you can get a cat and I was like, aren't you scared YM will kill you? (he's my ex and one of Si Wei's best friends) and he answered no la he hardly sees him already anyway.

ROFLCOPTER

Awright be seein' ya. ;)

Love,

OH AND HE'S WORKING THAT'S WHYYY

*relieved*

just one before the exam

2010-12-14T14:20:00.003+08:00

Well my sister returned home late last night and look what we have hereeee.

Yup she ran and fell and has joined me on the bandwagon. She insists that hers hurts more because it's a cut and I told her a bruised bone definitely hurts more than a mere scrape but ah well she's stubborn as hell.

Went to Giant yesterday with my parents and brother. Lewis said, "Raine's skirt will never be this long!" LOLOLOL.

Oh and I've been inspired by the facebook profiles with the new facebook so I made this. It's a little screwy though but I still like it. I'll try with a better picture next time.

All right I gotta go babe love you!

what i've been doing thus far

2010-12-10T01:03:00.002+08:00

I realized that I haven't updated since Monday. Well. I have.. been... doing.. nothing much. I went out on Monday and Tuesday, and have been home since then. Well, I went out just now to buy cans of soup to sustain me, but other than that...

I did meet Bertram on Tuesday, though. We went to this place called Fifteen Minutes at La Salle. :) Yup very nice place. And then walked to Bugis to eat ice creammmmm and I got a BATMAN cover for my phone. LOVE love. Mmmm.

Oh then I didn't feel like going home yet so we went to catch Easy A at Iluma, which wasn't bad. We laughed so loudly at the part where they were simulating sex. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA SO FUNNY WE WERE LIKE THE LOUDEST IN THE CINEMA they were just jumping up and down, and the dumb guy didn't know how to moan properly LOLLOLOLOLOLOL my sister would love that scene.

Aaaaand. I saw a poster for a movie that I've been waiting for since May. Ashton Kutcher in No Strings Attached. That was at the height of my Ashton fever and I think this movie will heighten it even more. I was following his tweets and facebook and he said that the movie board censors declined the original title of the movie which was Fuck Buddies and he was asking for suggestions with the name. So people came up with Friends with benefits, yadeedah.

Don't think the final name is as catchy as the others though. :/

Still. 2011, ASHTON KUTCHER BABY.

He's so hot la how can you not like him???

Precisely.

Oh and Bertram and I were having a little sort-of debate about the phrase 'exact same'. I told him that I read that it was redundant, but I didn't think so, because 'exact' doesn't mean the same as 'same'. Bertram's my lit senior, y'see.

So we kept arguing about it. He didn't really take a side, actually, come to think of it. Just kept coming up with questions to badger me. Mmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Well it's 1 am and I'm screwed for my exam tomorrow but at least it's only two essays thank GOD.

Sigh.

Oh well. I'm actually getting used to this. Not seeing you.

Shrugs.

And there's this guy who's been texting me. Lol. He's so funny, cos he miss-called me so many times and I was so annoyed so I told him he was clingy, and he said that's the first time anyone called him clingy. Apparently there's lotsa girls who like him, and I was like why do you even wanna talk to me anyway and he said cos you say I'm clingy and you ignore me, which.. doesn't really happen.

He's cute la, I'll admit. But a clingy guy just doesn't do it for me.

Still. That hard to get thing really works, huh.

Only thing is, I wasn't trying to play hard to get, I just was really busy, and not that interested. Mmmm.

All right then. Back to the powerpoint slides.

Love ya contedefee. Christmas is coming. Oh joy.

That wasn't Realllly sarcastic. The busy-ness will come in handy. What with you flying everywhere. Oh well.

LVL,

out.

chocolate dollops and ruby beads

2010-12-06T23:07:00.003+08:00

Because I can't shift the picture and I don't wanna go through the hassle of cutting and pasting in html, here's the last picture of the day. What I saw when I was on my way home.

Yup change of subject.

Today I went out with my sister. :) Yeeep we watched Rapunzel. OHHH I LOVEEEE. The guy is SOOOO HANDSOME and I FREAKING LOVE HER HAIR. I was weepy at several points. :/ Sigh. Make me feel so lonely yknow whenever I watch a romance. Which is why I actually don't want to watch romances usually. Unless it's comic. Anyway. Then we went to have ice cream. Look at my sister's; it looks like her butt, her half-butt.

Oh some leftover pics from my birthday. My kaofu with the balloons. Lol!

The state of the room after.

And yesterday we went to a Korean place with Auntie Angeline and family. :) I love kimchi, btw.

:) Okay. I'm meeting Bertram for dinner tomorrow!

After my exams I am going on dates.

I KID YOU NOT BABY I AM GOING ON DATES.

IF IT KILLS ME I WILL.

Sorry babe, I think I'm pmsing. :/

LOL

Love,

my 21st :D

2010-12-05T22:32:00.004+08:00

Well hello. :D I had my 21st birthday party yesterday, at East Coast Goldkist chalet, and it was the awesomest ever. :D I was soooooooooooooo happy. Reallyreally. Well, there's lots to say, and most of the pictures are on facebook (Don's dslr pics will be up soon I hope!) but the following is just for you contedefee :)

First up is JADEY my youngest cousin, buttering the barbecue food. :D She looks so delicate doesn't she.

Oh this next picture is my aunt. Suay Yi. My sister lacquered her tooth with her matte nail polish. I think she looks like Bellatrix Lestrange!

This is Michaela, my sister's best friend, and her maaaany chicken wings. LOL okay la she didn't eat alll of them. :)

Those are my aunts :)

This is HEFFALUMP, WHOM I'VE WANTED FOR THREE YEARS. My sister and a boyfriend neglected to keep their promise to me but Raine finally got me this purple elephant this year. :D

Suay Yi again

Ct finally gives in to her carnal nature and gropes my boob. Well. She's always talking about how they look delicious and she wants to touch them so she did. She's disappointed though, cos she says it's hard. HAHAHAHAHAHA I told her it's the dress but she didn't believe me.

Ct: Maybe it's a hard bra.

Me: No! My bra is lace! *looks around to see if anyone heard*

LOLOLOLOL

And my beautiful cake which Suay Yi kindly sponsored. OH MAN it's purple-edged, and I tell you I don't usually like cakes at all but this one was DELISH and everyone finished it. It's chocolate ice cream with biscuit. LIKE WTH RIGHT SO ORGASMIC

My lovely mom who cooked the food. With the giant clams that my uncle (whose birthday is the same as mine) bought.

Jadey in action again.

Fai, Saffie and Ct. The first arrivals. (Except for Von, who left early for River Dance)

:) Of course there was YOU. I was so happy. Really made my day. :D Hee. Siiiiiiigh of contentment. Awright. I have to go do something for my cousin who's in London. :) See ya contedefee. Muack.

Love,

center-aligned,

V! (21!!)

the don and drew show

2010-12-01T03:19:00.002+08:00

It's three am and I'm talking to my 9gag friend from America. Somehow I'm reminded of two years ago (shit it's been two years??) when I was living in hall and I called in to 98.7 fm during the Don and Drew show.

They asked me what my problem was and I told them that I kept falling for guys who are already attached but I don't know till I find out. They told me that it was a pattern and I should stop feeding the self-fulfilling prophecy. Then they asked me where I was.

Me: In my dorm room.

Don & Drew: Okay, now go to your window.

Me: Okay.

Don & Drew: And shout out of the window, "I WILL STOP FALLING FOR DUMB ATTACHED GUYS."

Me: Seriously??

Don & Drew: Yes. Go now.

Me: Okay... *tottered to window and said in a normal voice* I will stop falling for dumb attached guys.

Don & Drew: Not loud enough! Again!

Me: Okay.. I Will Stop Falling For Dumb Attached Guys!

Don & Drew: OH come on you can do better!

Me: *realllly letting it rip* I WILL STOP FALLING FOR DUMB ATTACHED GUYS!!

Don & Drew: Good for you! Now don't you feel better?

Me: *laughing* Yeah. (And I really did, too)

They went off, and I listened to my own conversation minutes later.

It was my first and so far last time on radio.

It was very exhilarating.

Hahahahahahhaha.

I swear I have so many of these random moments that I can't even remember.

not sleeping

shopping with VON

2010-11-30T00:23:00.002+08:00

Today I went out with Yvonne. :) We went shopping for clothes for my birthday party. Yeppp. I had fun. HAHAHA we laughed so much in the train. We went to Ion Orchard and 313. Then we went to the hand burger for dinner. I was soooooo stuffed.

Yep.

In the train she was telling me about her mother's English. She told me about the names she saved in her phone.

Von: T-h-e-r-e-b-a-r.

Me: Therebar?

Von: Therebar.

Me: ??

Von: Just keep saying.

Me: Therebar therebar therebar there.. deborah??

Von: *nods*

Me: HAHAHAHAHAHA

ROFL HER MOTHER IS HILARIOUS so freaking funny.

There was so much else that we laughed about but I really don't remember; my memory's failing me as I get older, resulting in less jokes for my blog but ah well.

I had fun.

And I can't wait for Saturday, yo.

:DDDDDD

Brilliant grin.

Okay! See you!

Love,

Ever since I joined 9gag

2010-11-26T12:18:00.002+08:00

Ever since I joined 9gag and linked my blog to it, my statcounter has been showing lots of activity from US and Europe.

I haven't been into my statcounter in ages and when I did I was shocked at the profusion of red dots in Europe.

AHAHAHAHA

I'm so crazy.

Rhythm of the rain

2010-11-24T18:35:00.004+08:00

I'd just woken up from an afternoon nap after a disastrously difficult-to-start essay, when my father walked in and said, "Wanna go dinner with your mother and I?"
"Go where?" I sniffed.
"Walk ah walk in the rain."
"Siao ah rain then walk what kinda logic is that?"
"Rain then cannot walk meh? Enjoy the rhythm of the rain."

I scoffed and walked out. The phone rang and I answered it. It was my mom.

"Ask your dad come down now I don't wanna walk." I laughed and told my dad.

"Rhythm of the raiiiiinnn," I sneered.

seriously creepy.

2010-11-23T13:59:00.002+08:00

When a person cries and the first teardrop is from the right eye, it's from happiness. But when the first roll is from the left eye, it's from pain.
I thought about it and realized that it's true; my tears always roll from the left eye first.
Ah well. One essay down and two to go. I've got to finish one more before going to watch Harry Potter with my siblings at 6:45 tonight. :/

Well I've just received word from my aunt that she's successfully booked a chalet at East Coast for my 21st birthday so I'll be sending out invites tomorrow, once I've confirmed with them whether I can invite you guys on the 3rd or 4th. Yep that's when she booked it, a day shy of the actual day but ah well it doesn't really matter.

I'm quite excited. Not very, but quite.

I'M NUMBER TWO ON 9GAG AHAHAHAHAHA (past seven days. 14th in 30 days and 32rd all time)

I'm so lame I can't stand it but I looooove when I see many many likes and comments.

Wheeeeee.

I so love this. Y'know. Internet thing.

Ah well. I forgot what I came here to say.

Mmm. My sister's finished her O levels so she's working at Nike. She's getting me a purple sports bra that I've wanted since forever.

I have to actually Use it though once she gets it. Lol! But you don't actually have to be Doing sports to wear a sports bra.

Oh yeah I met Leon FINALLY I told Jiamin when I was going back from work, "If he doesn't reply me by the time I reach Sengkang I DON'T CARE I'M NOT GOING TO SEE HIM ANYMORE," cos he rescheduled like FIVE TIMES HELLO NOBODY BUT NOBODY DOES THAT TO ME!

So yeah. He looks smaller. Maybe it's the gymming. A lot vainer, but what do you expect, coming fresh from a beauty competition. :/ I think he's prettier than me lor.

Sooooo. I can't wait to finish ALL my essays and invite you to my birthday party.

Whee I'm still wondering if I wanna theme it. Make everyone come in something purple.

2010-11-13T23:23:00.002+08:00

The following post is strictly confidential because if he knew I blogged about it he would kill me and feed my mangled body to ravenous hamsters.

This is my brother's hand.

See, my sister went on this nail-painting craze. I refused to let her paint my fingernails because I don't really like it (and neither do you) and because I simply wasn't going to stop Godfingering for her.
Freaking nice right. I swear he got the fingers that my sister's supposed to have. Her stubby frog fingers. Okay la quite cute.

She slipped in one toe before he bellowed, "WHAT'S THAT!"

Buahaha.

So, life's been all right. Essays and exams coming. Ooh ooh ooh ooh. ;)

strange day

2010-11-11T01:28:00.003+08:00

Today was quite a tumultuous day.

I went for my forensics science test, which was quite a hoot.

It was taken in the huge Nanyang Auditorium, which is, I kid you not, freaking huge, and there weren't even seats separating each student. We had a guest lecturer come in for a bit before the start of the test, and our prof, with his light humour as always, said, "Isn't it nice such a big turn out today for our guest lecturer I'm sure the fact that we have a mid term test later has nothing to do with it."

So we began our test; young invigilators who looked like drop-outs from uni handed us OAS sheets and the questions were flashed on the screen with a 40 second interval.

A group of guys were openly discussing the answers behind Shafie, Hwee Hsia and I and there were people hissing answers in between questions.

Shafie didn't study At All so half his answers were mine and the other half were the stranger's next to him who tried to shield her sheet from him but was actually copying from Her friend so Shaf just looked over to the other girl. ROFL WTH really.

He whispered, "I thought is 'All of the above'?"

I looked ahead calmly then tilted my head, "There is no DNA in red blood cells."

"Ohhhh. Smart girl ah."

I grinned at him.

After that we went to Subway to eat (I did, at least, starving, HELL-OOOO) and then he met his friend Hazwan. I was telling Shafie about my essay and its weird word limit and Hazwan said, "Huh, you're in 211? I'm in 211."

"Are you serious?? I've never seen you!"

"Yeah I've never seen you either!"

"Well I'm taking 209 too."

"What! I'm taking 209!"

Hahaha they're both my juniors. :D

So I spent two hours talking to them and another friend they brought along later, "He's from Engineering. Science guy don't talk to him." Hahaha and then went for work.

Everyone cheered when adorable Ray let us go at 9:25 instead of 9:30 yeah I know cheap thrill but you have no idea how awesome it is.

I walked up the steps, feeling hungry and telling Eugene, "Oh man can't believe I'm hungry."

I couldn't decide whether to go to Mac's or Kopitiam but I wound up walking to Kopitiam in the end, texting Gladys who lives just next to Compass Point if she could keep me company there.

Guess who I bumped into at Kopitiam. Yes. Gladys. Looking geek-chic with new spects that she said the spectacle place gave her cos she broke her pair there while making a lasik appointment.

Yep. She was with Desmond Gay from Nan Chiau and his friend. Desmond is so amused by me rofl but then who isn't. :P

While we were eating I heard a commotion from the fish soup stall and we turned to see the fish soup uncle shouting and waving his metal soup ladle. A tattooed Beng stood before the stall with his girlfriend by his side, clutching his arm. The commotion got louder and he threatened to come out and face him head on but the cleaning auntie and the Mee Pok da uncle who has some old tattoos of his own went to the rescue.

Hahaha so dramatic. Especially in light of the slashing incidents lately. A slashing ladle would be a strange twist of events. Quite shocking, really, especially when the fish soup uncle came out with his metal ladle and squared off with the guy very very near our table.

Ah well.

After that I came home and cried over something silly and I'm feeing all better now.

Can't wait for film and fiction tomorrow. ;) Ahh I'll see Hazwan!!

:DDD

He looks like Nat Ho from some angles, whom I ADORE, CAAAAAN.

Eeeeehee.

See ya contedefee muack muack you ish my baby oh yesh you ish

Loves,

saturday with the sister

2010-11-07T00:25:00.005+08:00

Sooooooo. I went out with my sister on Saturday. Yep. Nothin' much to say so I'll just show you pics.

Raine showing off her superior ice cream digging skills.

Yep we bought a tub and shared it cos the last time we bought two large ones and didn't have enough. Ahaha I feel like eating it again :/

Ah well see ya soon Kenny's back from wherever he went I think Taiwan so I'll probably be seeing him tomorrow :D

Bye!

Love,

day out with the sister

2010-11-03T01:14:00.004+08:00

Today I brought my sister out for a belated birthday thing. We went to watch Life as we know it cos she wanted to see it, and then dinner after that. Oh it wasn't very much, just the usual stuff. I find that as we grow older we have more friction somehow, and I just find myself getting more and more annoyed with her just as she gets more disturbed by things that I do. Still, nobody can replace my sister in my heart, even though I know she won't see this cos she doesn't read period.

There's nothing more to say, really, because I usually make sure I blog on Tuesday as there's little chance of me blogging again till maybe Friday...

It's my brother's birthday now; 1st and 3rd November, my siblings' birthdays. Mine is fifth of December. Just like how their Chinese names are inverted vowels; Li Yu and Lu Yi, and mine is Dai Er. I gave him a hug just now when he tottered out to ask my sister some itouch thing and he gave this trying-to-suppress-a-delighted-grin face and accepted my hug without any qualms, which he usually Does Not do. Ah well I can't wait to see what a man he becomes. Even now I can see hints of it appearing.

Also, when I was looking through my sister's photos I suddenly came across the ones of when I had purple streaks in my hair. I soooo miss it. :/ See nice right. Even though the one of me in blue is very faint. Still nice. So sad.

Ah well. Maybe one day. Or maybe I'll go shave one side of my head.

HAHAHAHAHA

Wouldn't you like to see that.

All right my father is making a helluva noise.

See ya contedefee. Y'know I love you. I think you're my boyfriend cos you listen to me without saying a word, but I know you're always there for me. Only thing is I can't touch you, which is a real shame. :/ Maybe in the future. Who knows what technology can do.

Love always,

LVL

hello weenie

2010-10-31T21:45:00.002+08:00

Last night I went to Butter Factory with my cousins, Pearly and Wendy, and Pearly's Muay Thai friend Claudia.

OH I HAD SO MUCH FUN AHAHAHAHAHHAHA

Really really. Waiting for Claudia to upload pictures so I can show you contedefee!!

Wendy was so funny kept taking my hands and leading me away from guys and putting her arms around my waist so nobody else can!

HAHAHAHAHAHA

AH I HAD SO MUCH FUN there was this guy whom Pearly kept warning, "Don't touch my cousin," and "Stay away from my cousin."

HAHAHAHHA

He's so cute he took off his cap and put it on my head.

Awwwwwww. :)))

I'm such a sucker really.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

And then Wendy drank too much and kept burping; there was this strange shirtless guy who got carried downstairs cos he'd drunk too much and was spewing brown stuff everywhere eeks.

I remember when we Finally got in cos we queued like for an hour (which I heard is not bad already) and I stood there and took it all in I thought, "Oh okay so this is what Alex likes."

Hahaha seriously yes Gladys don't roll your eyes at me.

:D Hahaha whee.

I'll post when I get pictures okay. Wendy and I went back earlier than Pearly and when I lay on the bed, exhausted, my body aching, Sydney tottered over to me and fell with a great thud onto my face.

I struggled to get up and lie down again and she licked my mouth.

Frenched by a dog, people. Frenched by a doggg.

OH I can't wait for pictures. :D

See ya contedefee!

Love love love,

Lydia!

because it's tuesday

2010-10-26T15:40:00.002+08:00

I wrote a whole chunk of words and then my safari crashed.

Sigh.

I shall write in point form then.

1. I'm looking forward to Saturday.

2. I've been reading Garfield online.

3. I love checking 9gag to see how many people have liked my posts.

4. I like asking random tumblr people questions.

5. I don't want to go to school tomorrow.

6. I lost weight. Closed my eyes and stepped on the weighing machine, opened them, gasped, and stepped off and on again. Just a few more kg before I'm back to normal.

Damn I hate it when blogger dies on me.

Lydia/Lydz/V.

in which mommy gets her bibimbab

2010-10-24T22:07:00.005+08:00

That's my mom. With bad lighting. Showing off her bibimbab proudly. Maybe it's all the Korean shows she's been watching, but my mom has been having perpetual cravings for bibimbab. So today we went to Seoul Garden after church.

That's Dad, busy eating.

And my mom in the midst of scolding him for taking somebody else's meat.

My sister senses the presence of a camera and poses.

My dumb brother who just annoyed me by asking me, "Jie how old was Methuselah when he died." "DON'T DISTURB ME LA 969 LA," "Oooh not as dumb as daddy." Whatever. I was gonna say he looks kinda handsome here but forget it.

:) Smiley.

Not bad not bad.

Ah well. I'm actually kind of upset. But whatever. Find more chickens so you won't have to rely on one infertile unavailable cockerel.

LOLOLOLOLOLOL

I censored it la my blog's PG. Used to be G, then things happened. Ah well.

Ywanna know what I'm looking forward to?

Zouk Halloween Party with Pearly and Wendy.

:D I've never been to Zouk before!

WHEE.

Bye dahling I will be back soon promise.

And I keep my promises.

2010-10-22T21:46:00.004+08:00

Today I went to meet Baobao. :)

Here she issss isn't she pretty! :D Yep we went for lunch, then walked around looking for pins. Ohhh man contedefee I have to tell youuu I tried to cut bangs last night but I'm so not suited for bangs so my fringe will be pinned up till it's longer. :/ Sobs.

We walked around Bugis, to Iluma, just looking at whatever wherever and talking. She kept asking me if she was boring me. Silly girl! She's a bit down cos of her job thing but I hope she feels better when/if she reads this :)

Whee then after that I went to the National Library and to my mom's office, where surprise surprise Emile, Jenny, my dad and brother were.

We went for dinner at New York New York in Suntec. OH my mom's super bad I tell you. She wanted to go there cos she had discount vouchers and a membership card. But when she asked the waitress what it was valid for the Chinese national said, (in Mandarin) "It can be used anywhere but here. Not this outlet."

I immediately thought Wth.

"Not even the discount vouchers?"

"No."

"Then we don't want to eat here already."

"We can't accept it at this outlet."

"Then we go lor."

I watched the waitress's face. She was already in a bad mood and her sullen face darkened even more. The manager came to the rescue.

"Yes, we don't accept vouchers here I'm so sorry."

"I came here because I have the vouchers."

"Okay let me see."

He looked at the vouchers and then at my mom.

"How about I give you a discount."

"How much? If less than ten percent we're leaving."

"Twenty percent."

"Okay. Then we'll stay."

The poor manager. The place already looked like it was going out of business, what with all the other food places nearby and the queue at Aston's snaking around the corner. We were one of three families there.

Anyway. Here's Gladys. Hahaha I just had to show you. She said not to post it cos she looks like she's just wearing underwear but I don't care la. Hahahaha HI GLAD. WE GON' GO SWIMMING NEXT WEEK OKAY.

Signing out, your friendly toy car girl,

Lydia.

:) just a smile.

2010-10-21T21:30:00.003+08:00

Today I went on a date.

I know right!!!

Hahahaha I haven't gone on a real date since forever.

Unless you consider Clement, which I don't, since he's an old friend. Well, not old in the sense of old and good and close friend, but still.

His name is Alexander. I know. My sister said, "Why must be same name!!" But it wasn't on purpose. Anyway he's a great guy. I've known him for about two years now but we didn't meet all that time cos he was busy. So today was the first time. We went for lunch and a movie. And he thinks I'm have very interesting stories. I told him it's just that I dramatise a lot of stuff that goes on.

He's studying medicine in NUS. Strangely he's having term break, because apparently med school people get different break times, "whenever the dean feels like giving us a break".

:)

Hahaha.

Whee.

Okay tomorrow I'm going out with Baobao. I'll update you if anything, okay!

:DDDD

Happy.

Love,

Lydia.

apple pie & i

2010-10-20T19:50:00.002+08:00

I'm here to tell you the dumb thing that happened just now.

My dad's going for his cell group meeting, and my mom too, and Laraine is missing in action as usual. So I ordered macs for Lew and I. My dad asked me to get three double cheeseburgers for him. So I did.

When the food came he asked me to check.

"Gao dim?"

"Gao dim." (Cantonese for settled)

We sat and ate. Suddenly my brother said, "Where's my apple pie?"

I stared at him.

"Don't have meh?"

"Don't have."

A glower started to form on my father's brow.

"GOT ORNOT!!"

"Don't have."

"ASK YOU TO CHECK." He screamed at me. I got suddenly irrationally angry because I was tired of being shouted at and come on la you just don't shout at me.

"I CHECKED ALREADY RIGHT I FORGOT RIGHT."

"SO WHOSE FAULT IS IT."

"IT'S THE MACDONALD'S MAN FAULT LA. I GO AND CALL NOW ASK THEM TO BRING RIGHT."

So I did, and the dumb man came to give us the stupid apple pie.

When dad left, I turned to Lewis.

"You very dumb leh can't you just wait for him to go then tell me."

"I don't know ma.."

"He siao one lor so angry."

"Aiya. That day he tell Auntie Angeline, 'I can control my temper very well.' "

"LOLOL LIKE REAL."

"Yeah lor."

End of complain session.

life as we know it

2010-10-18T23:02:00.002+08:00

Today I went out with Yvonne.

We went to watch Life as we know it.

It's damn nice la. I thought it would be some fluffy rom-com but it's not. I teared at several points in the movie. So sad really really. And I suppose it got me thinking a bit. And missing certain people.

...Well. Then Gladys came to my house to see if I have any dresses she can wear to her friend's wedding. We lay on my bed and talked for about an hour, till my light-fan flickered off, and continued talking.

Yeah well that's all, really. I drove the family to church and Bedok on Sunday. Everyone directed me into the parking lot, commented on my horrible sense of direction and steering control, and then I drove to my aunt's house in Simei where they challenged me to get into a weird lot and I did and they cheered.

I have some photos of Gladys in my room and Von took a picture of batman for me again but I don't know how to transfer photos cos I'm an iphone noob and yeah my mom bought me an iphone 4 for my birthday so awesome right my mom yes she is.

I crept to my sister's room at 2am that night and whispered,

"Raine ah. How to send message?"

LOLOLOL

damn noob.

Sigh.

Feeling melancholy suddenly. I shall jump ship to colourablecandy. See ya babe.

P.S. I don't like recess week.

P.P.S. I want a boyfriend. :/

Sighing,

LVL

Well hello contedefee it's been some time hasn't it! I've been busybusybusy. :) And tonight I met some 3206 peeps for dinner! Behold Joti and I. I was waiting for Joti at Buona Vista when I saw Cheryn peering at me. We waited together and then reached Plaza Sing at 6:05.

And then the rest came. Jase and Ed, and Baobao (Pearlyn) next. :D

Isn't it such an awesome picture!! I had to force them to take it, they were so reluctant but they like the result. :) C'MON BE MORE ADVENTUROUS WITH YOUR PICTURES

This is Edward's salmon salad. Oh we went to Hot Tomato at Plaza Sing's basement. It's good. I've been there a couple times with my sister and cousin. Ed was like, "I don't feel like eating." " Wah on diet ah youu."

Steak, prawns and aglio olio. $11.90. Hahahaa advertisement, seh.

Joti, Cheryn and I. :)

Lovely picture. Some Macdonald's employee took it for us.

Cheryn dared me to take this. Hahaha cmon la dare me to take photo are you kidding?? :D Look like, hor.

2010-10-12T19:35:00.004+08:00

Well well what do you know it's my 900th post on this blog. That's crazy cool. Another hundred and we'll be celebrating my 1000th post!! :)

Unfortunately nothing supremely exciting happened. I went to East Coast with my sister on monday. I drove. My dad kept asking me to drive faster. It was the fastest I went la. He's mad one. "Your mother not here then I can teach you the things you must know."

:) One of the more PG shots.

After that my dad came to pick us up and I drove the family to Giant. :) My dad looks kinda tired here. I said, "Let's waltz dad." Thennnn we bought lots of ice cream, went home, and my mom dyed my hair with Liese marshmallow brown foam dye.

Yeah. Well. It's back to school tomorrow. Next week is recess week, I think. I'll have to get started on my essays, which are due 2nd November, 26 Nov, and don't know when else. I better go check.

Kenny's doing reservist. Ahhhh poor thing. He'll be in camp on his birthday. So sad la. Oh gosh I suddenly realized it's seven days away from Alex's birthday!

Yeah I know. Gladys will say, DON'T CARE LA YOU :P

Okay my parents just got back with food.

I'm satisfied! I'll be in school soon! Bye love!

- LVL

out.

frisbee & fatboys, 10.10.10.

2010-10-10T22:51:00.010+08:00

:) I had an awesome, awesome time today. After church I asked Emile if he could drop me at Macpherson MRT but he said he didn't have the van today. So I asked Angeline and she asked her son Darren who sent me all the way to Sengkang in the end. I got off at the wrong side of the freaking huge field and trudged all the way to the other side in my silver pumps. I came across a marshy bit of land and squelched into mud, cursing every time I took a step. My pumps are now drying in the balcony.

Yup I was there to meet Gladys, Wilson, John and Rongsheng from my sec 3 and 4 class in Nan Chiau. :) Gladys brought me upstairs to change and wash my shoes.
Hahaha that's John and his wicked serve. His throws damn zai can. Like a freaking flat blue bullet heading my way.

That's Wil, who's awesome too. :D Wilson is a great guy really. Damn funny and super hilarious with laughter like a hyena on drugs.

After that we went to Gladys' house, and the guys went to bathe, and watch this video:

Which we then kept quoting. Usually I started it. Hahahaha. Gladys then drove us to Fatboys at Upper Thomson Road, near where my old church is. She got damn stressed cos she didn't know where it was, and I directed her. (Swelling with pride, much.) We finally got there, parked damn far, and walked there. While waiting I went to Longhouse with Gladys to buy GORENG PISANG THE BEST ORGASMIC PISANG EVER I SWEAR I ONCE ATE ELEVEN AT ONCE. I distributed them among the guys while we waited.

Wilson: Wahlou damn long la.

Me: There's a table there actually but the kid is still eating. The parents finish already.

Gladys: Just go there and sweep the stuff off the table la.

Me: LOLOLOLOL

We finally Did get a table. Gladys was super hungry so she went, "ORDER ORDER ORDER."

This is Wilson with his chilli burger. The Burgatory. He said he really did go through 'burgatory' because his came last and they forgot about it.

:) My custom-made burger. White sesame bun, lamb patty, bacon, portobello mushroom (cos they were out of shiitake :/) and bbq sauce.

This is John Pan's. Beef, fried egg, and portobello mushroom. :)

Rongsheng's. With onion ring, beef and bleu cheese.

Gladys. The extra one. With honey oat bun, beef patty, portobello mushroom and mozzarella cheese.
Cross section of Gladys' burger. Cos she's a neat freak and her burger is eaten neatly too.

After that we sat there and talked for sometime before heading back. In the car I kept screaming, "SIAO EHHH" and Rongsheng or Wilson would continue, "PREGNANT AHHHH" HAHAHHAHA I had so much fun really really. :D

Next week next week again! And I'll wear socks this time so I don't get itches from the grass!

:D I love you guys. And don't forget tell your friend la WILSON. :DDDDDD

Much love,

Lydia.

meiji plain crackers

2010-10-09T23:59:00.005+08:00

I didn't know what to use for a title so I just took whatever was in front of me. :P

Today I went to my cousin Lester's house for his birthday party. I drove. Even though his house is only a few blocks away. The other side of Sengkang, la.

I parked in the stoppy place downstairs, because my dad was gonna wash the car.

I slid in in one move and was satisfied.

My dad looked at me.

"This is two lots you know."

"Huh really meh?"

"Yes."

My mother chipped in.

"Yeah you parked in the center you know."

My siblings laughed loudly.

"Fine la."

I drove front, to the left, and reversed again.

"Still too right."

I did it again.

"A bit more."

I did it again.

"I think still a bit -"

"Aiya nevermind la."

"Ok."

I pulled the handbrake and got out.

I swear my family is super critical. Forever shouting at me from the moment I leave the carpark.

Sooo. Went to Lester's house, actually spent most of my time there playing my psp. Hahahahaha. Watching Spongebob, eating curry chicken.

:) Pearly was there, oh and I tied a side dutch braid for Licia. Pretty. Oh see the one I did for Gladys.

I'm talking to Wilson online now. Tomorrow after church I'm meeting Gladys, Wilson, Rong Sheng and John to play frisbee and go for dinner!

:DDDDD

Yeah my dad is fussing me asking me to go and sleep. :/ Ah well. Okay la I'll go now. I'll see you soon contedefee have a good night.

I'm happy.

Love, Lydia.

Hahaha. I met this girl in HL211 this morning her name is Eliza and when we were discussing tutorial questions I suddenly looked at her hand and there was a big sparkly ring on it I gasped, "Are you married??" And she smiled. "I'm engaged." "OH MY GODDDDDD what year are you? Can I see?" "Year 2." She twisted the ring out and gave it to me.

It's DAMN NICE CAN a solitaire diamond surrounded by two smaller pear-cut ones.

I'M SO HAPPY COS I'M MEETING YOU LATER TONIGHT WHEEEEEEEEEEE

Oh happy day.

She says, "Pressed your head to my bosom. Eh don't write that." Oh Daniel Lai and Jon are outside IT'S DANIEL'S BIRTHDAY I sent the girls to JP to get a large birthday balloon for him. HAHAHAHA hopefully got pictures will show you later. :D

So I'm happy. :)

I made a girl's day by telling her she's pretty yesterday in work. I slept real early last night, at ahyi's house. I could hear her playing contemporary pop songs through the night man! Seriously.

Lawrence is next to me. That's Timothy's brother. He's wearing the shirt that Tim wore when we went to Ikea for lunch last year. Yep. The one I ran my hands over. Hahaha unless they got two separate shirts la. Then it'll be shit for whoever washes the laundry to separate. Just saw Sharmaine outside with that hot Malay guy. Wee.

Ok I think I shan't keep Sean waiting.

Yep. Happiness is good. Hahaha Sean's wearing a red shirt with a picture of jugs and a caption: Nice Jugs.

2010-10-04T22:48:00.003+08:00

So I decided to apply a face mask because my skin was feeling weird. And boom - Mommy in her towel wants to take a picture.

Of course my sister will never let herself be left out of any photo-taking action.

And my sporting dad disappeared into his room only to reappear with shaving cream on his face.

:) Cmon. Where in this world will you find a family like mine.

Love,

Lydia

What a Wendy Day

2010-10-02T22:55:00.003+08:00

Today I went out with my cousin Wendy. :) She's 28 this year. Yep. I met her at Tampines One, and we went to have lunch at Secret Recipe. After that we went walking around and I bought so many things!! I bought a necklace holding a bunch of keys for my sister that she will so love. But she's not back yet the pig so I can't show her.

I bought zipper earrings, a shirt dress, a light yellow bra and a magenta one and gorgeous underwear. I wanted dark brown and/or navy coloured ones but don't have my size. :/ Hahahahahahaha and after that we walked to my old house at Tampines Street 21 - yes, the one bus 23 used to go to, dear :) - and got my contact lenses for the next twelve months.

I still haven't got the elusive dark purple bra and large Heffalump. :/ And my bra size increased can!! Either that or Pierre Cardin shrank their sizes. Which I highly doubt. I'm beginning to have a dreadful suspicion that I might fit into a D cup.

Oh maaaaaaaaaaan.

We went to have ice cream at Swensen's later oh gosh what happened to losing weight. :/ Hahaha I don't care la. Later lose weight cannot wear my new bras.

Lol. I had fun. So long didn't have retail therapy; one shot feels damn good. I've been surviving on little money these past two weeks because of my stupid driving test fees.

I think I'm really growing old.

I get tired even though I slept enough, and when I sleep it's like bone-deep slumber.

When I got home my mom made claypot chicken rice. Alamak sure fat.

Okaaay I'll be going to bed soon. Tired.

Tomorrow, tomorrow, I'll love you tomorrow.

I miss you, by the way!

Love,

Lydia.

How annoying thou art.

2010-10-02T13:47:00.002+08:00

My brother's super annoying. I SWEAR HE'S THE MOST ANNOYING FREAK ON THE PLANET.

I was just minding my own business and he was playing some driving game with my dad and he started taunting, "Oh, never check rear view mirror, never check side mirror, never step oil.. Step oil no response.."

ARGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I SWEAR HE'S GONNA GET IT ONE DAY WHEN I SNAP

In other news.

I'm peacefully slacking the day away, having my mom's aglio olio with chicken, red capsicum and diced onions.

The only non-tomato based pasta I actually like.

My dad's tossing his body around on the sofa while he negotiates sharp curves on the screen, my brother's being a grade A irritant, and my sister is out with the ever-elusive and applicable 'Michaela'.

I haven't spoken to my sister at all recently. Mmm. Tonight tonight.

Yawwwwwn. I should find someone to go out with. Yeah. Mmmmmmm. I go jio.

See ya.

Lydia.

sniffly seminars

2010-09-30T17:52:00.002+08:00

Well hello. I've finished my classes for the day and I'm waiting for work to start at 6:30. I'm here cos I have a severe blogging withdrawal. Hahaha. :)

Today for 211 Representations of Asia in Film and Fiction we watched Anna and the King. The one with Chow Yun Fatt and Jodie Foster. Oh man I cried when Fa Ying died!!! I've never cried in a seminar room before!!

Terrible terrible. Also I wanna share with you what the king said. He's damn funny la he has the most awesome one-liners ever I swear.

When he was introducing his family to Anna and her son, he said, "The Royal Family: Twenty three wives, forty two concubines, fifty eight offspring, and ten more on the way. Each one unique. Each one my hope for the future. I understand your surprise. Not as many as the Emperor of China, but he did not spend half of life in monastery. King making up for lost time." HAHAHA I TELL YOU I LAUGHED SO HARD.

And also when Anna was asking him if any of his wives get jealous, and he said each of his wives thinks he loves them with a special love. Then Anna said, "Not everyone can marry the king." And the king answered, "Good thing. King need his rest sometime."

HAHAHAHA OK FINE so it can mean anything but I can't help sensing all the innuendo. :) Yep. I had awesome fun. I wish I could tell you more.

Anyhow. Look at this picture Fai took of me. Hahahahaha nice right my bra!! My goal is to get a purple one. HEY IF YOU'RE LISTENING. I WANT A DARK PURPLE BRA FOR MY 21ST BIRTHDAY. 34C OKAY.

Great. :) Okay I think it's time to head on over to the north spine. I'll be seein' ya. ;)

Lotsa love, and I miss you.

:) Well I was going to bed but somehow I wound up here. See, that's my Ye Ye. Cantonese for grandfather, if you're dialectically impaired. My mama was sick. :( Hope she's feeling better.

That's my dad and my favourite uncle Samsok. (Third uncle in Cantonese) :D

Isn't he handsome???? Ok la he's not smiling here so you can't see. But I do think he's awesome handsome. My dad scoffs, of course, whenever my sister and I say so.

That's Janelle and me. :) She's super cute. She loves clapping so she went wild whenever we welcomed the bride and groom in.

:) Okay I'll be off now. Won't be home till Thursday so see you then, unless I have something amazing to tell you then I'll pop by the school library tomorrow. ;)

Love,

Lydia.

wedding blues

2010-09-27T00:03:00.008+08:00

So today I went for my cousin's wedding. :) It was awesome, awesome, awesome. I love weddings. Really really. I had tons of fun laughing with my cousin Joey, my Samsok and San San, whom I'm closest to, taking pictures, watching my cousin get bullied by his friends.

My cousin's a signed-on officer so he was dressed in his officer uniform, and he had a bunch of friends do a march-in, and cross their swords overhead. The bride and groom were stopped by various officers and required to do certain things before they could pass.

At the first one, they asked Jun Jie to tell everyone what was irritating about his bride. He said, "She's beyond perfect." And everyone awwwwed.

At the second one, they made my cousin carry his wife and sing a song, then carry her onstage. Damn sweet can. And he proposed to her again, on one knee, in front of everybody.

I was like clutching at my chest the entire time. My sister and I drank wine and got red in the face and started being giggly and giddy. Hahahahaha

Oh, and I met Clement last night. We went to have dessert at Ji De Chi (Remember to Eat in Chinese) and then we went to sneak around Intercontinental Hotel. Hahaha it was fun. We sat on a sofa on the third floor overlooking the second floor, where a wedding reception was being held, and talked. When we were walking back I saw this angmoh guy come out of his room, naked except for a towel. He was muscly and all. I stared at him and he acted nonchalant. Whoaaaa.

:) Hee.

I'm happy.

Love,

Lydia.

Friday Food For Thought

2010-09-25T16:47:00.006+08:00

Let me introduce to Jason, who's having a shoe-induced high. There's his hundred and thirty-nine bucks shoe. Hahaha. :) I met Danial and Jason last night after school. Had truckloads of fun. We went to Food For Thought at Bugis, then walked round Illuma looking for a movie. Jas's uncle works at Filmgarde, so he was gonna shift the movie timings for us. HAHAHAHAHAHA WIN. But in the end he didn't la, of course. We went to Dhoby Ghaut instead and watched Devil at 11:30. I think it was nice. I got very scared at the last part and kept squinting to see through slits so it wouldn't be so scary, and kept gripping Danial.

His mom sponsored his shoes. He wanted it so bad, kept asking me if brown or white was nicer. I told him white but brown was more practical. There was only one size left. It was just nice. I shrugged and told him he was the one who was gonna walk around in them. OH and I got this exquisite lightbulb necklace AHAHAHA necklace addict seriously.

Here's the other star of the evening. :) The movie ended at 12:55 so we cabbed back; Jas got off first at Lentor, then me, and Dan cabbed back to NUS hall cos he has silat today.

GUESS WHO I'M MEETING LATER AT 8:30. GUESS GUESS.

YESSSS I'M MEETING CLEMENT GOH REN HAO HAHAHAHAHA OMG AWESOMENESS OVERLOAD

:DDDDD

Excited much. REALLY AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH hehehehehe. :)

Hopefully I'll get a picture with him. :D ahahahahaha so excited. Yep. I haven't seen Daryl since Tuesday but ah well. I'm having fun. :)

Whee. We just came back from my cousin's Chinese tea wedding ceremony at Jurong. I drove us home and my dad kept scolding me during the whole journey. :/ Ah well. My parking's getting better, at any rate. I got it right first time! Oh oh and I wanna show you MY NIECE. YEAH MY NIECE. Her name's Janelle. She's Mei Yu's daughter. Mei Yu is the elder sister of Jun Jie, who's getting married. :) Siiiighhhh damn sweet can I had to offer him and his wife tea, and got angbao in return! Ahaha.

She was besotted with my sister's bracelets.

Hahaha. :D I'm an aunt now. OH POK. Awright I'll be off. I'll tell you more when I get back, okay. ;)

LVL,

excited.

a song for elmo :)

2010-09-24T12:51:00.004+08:00

Yep, it's Adam Sandler, c'mon!!! :DDDD

Sooo. I didn't realise that I haven't posted for three days. But hey, here I am. School was all right. I had my group presentation on Thursday, with Jing, Sharmaine and Raelene the hottie.

After that I went for dinner with Tim, Rachel and Jean. Tim and Jean kept making a motion with their arms and I was puzzled.

"What're y'all doing??"

"Flashing side-boob!"

"Tsk!! She's very nice okay!"

Cos Raelene had a super low top and I kept staring at her black lacy bra cos it's damn nice and I COVET LIKE NOBODY'S BUSINESS.

Really I feel like shopping for bras. Hahahaha. November, November. :)

So... nothing much else, really. Had a small 'fight' with Kenny last night because of the Mac's that was closed. Damn stupid, really. Ah well. First time I saw him angry.

Guess who I'm meeting tomorrow night. :DDDDD

CLEMENT. YES. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH excited, can. I wanted to see him soooo much like early last year. And he's back!!

ALEXANDRE TEO IT'S TIME FOR YOU TO COME BACK OKAAAAY.

:D December. If he does. Oh man. Sometimes I think it's worth the missing when someone returns home. :)

Yuppers. Okay, I gotta go, I'm already late for class. Tamara I'm on my way!

Love,

LVL

presenting pictures

2010-09-21T23:58:00.002+08:00

Look at my brother's wound everybody.

Yes. Marvel at the depth of the wound.

Now let me tell you how he got it. His friends gave it to him, by pushing him playfully at the neoprint machine. He got shoved up against some metal stub. Ta daaa.

And this is the awesome cat I saw at my grandma's house. Damn cute can.

"Yo wassup."

Wheee. Okay I have to go and do up my presentation now cos I can't do it tomorrow, since I'll be at my aunt's. Muack. Love you!

LVL,

middling.

englishmen are so aggressive?

2010-09-21T15:36:00.003+08:00

What I got from reading for my presentation:

King: Undergarments? Of what importance are undergarments at this time?
Anna: Of great importance.
King: Are you wearing undergarments?
Anna: Of course, your Majesty!
King: That a woman has no legs is useless to pretend. Wherefore, then, that swollen skirt?
Anna: The wide skirt is symbolic. It is the circle within which a woman is protected.
King: That is necessary? Englishmen are that aggressive? I did not know.

Lol. :P Funny ah, some of the dialogue in plays.

Yawnies.

2010-09-21T14:41:00.002+08:00

I was actually gonna wait for my sister to upload the cat pictures before blogging, but if I were to wait I will never ever get to blog.

Yep.

I have a presentation on Thursday speaking of which I really should get started on it. Lol. I will I will after this. It's quite interesting anyway, we're presenting on the King and I. Mmm. Nothing much has happened. My aunt and dad almost got into accidents, respectively. My aunt was driving when a motorcyclist in front of her skidded and she had to brake; the car behind her almost knocked into her.

My dad was driving when he says his brake didn't work. He says he thinks he stepped on the accelerator instead, but the handbrake didn't work either. Mmmm.

Soooo. Yeah didn't really do much. *thinks* Nope. Waiting for time to pass hopefully I can see the person I wanna see. :)

Yawwwwn. I woke up aching because of aerobics yesterday. We didn't have it last week because the instructor was sick. I wonder if I should continue with it. Next week's the last week, and then we must sign up for the next three months. Can't believe it's been three months already! Kenny keeps making fun of me, saying oh people for yoga, muay thai... where got people still go aerobics? I keep imagining you in the 80s leotards and headband.

Like whatever!!!

OH I've been watching the youtube video of the crazy cat lady in the robbery. HAHAHAHAHAHA DAMN FUNNY the song is super catchy. I'd post it here but the video embed code is not available for some reason.

Here's the link if you're interested. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3CM5CKtKY-I&feature=player_embedded

:)

Yep okay I'm off to do my presentation. Have a good day you and I'll see you soon!

Love,

Lydia.

maiden drive

2010-09-18T21:29:00.002+08:00

Weeeelll hellooooo. Today I drove for the first time! After passing, that is. I drove my family to my grandma's house in Pasir Ris. Hahahaha. My dad says I'm a good driver except for my overtaking! HAHAHAHA he said I do it super abruptly when I'm supposed to be like slow and smooth. Mmm. Kept getting bombarded by comments while I was driving la. So funny. When I got to my grandma's house my grandma suddenly said, "Le eh sai hua qia ah??" (You can drive??) I said yeahhhh and she grabbed me and kissed me. "Ah ni kiang! Zai wa la!" (So smart, drive me!) I said okay and she said no she's scared.

Somewhere later in the day I was lying on my grandma's bed, in her room, and she came in and started trying clothes on.

Me: Ah po le si simi cup. (Ah Po what's your cup size)
Ahpo: Ah? Waaa... si... 80. 80 B. (I'm 80 B)
Me: B???? AHPO. LE SI B WA SI MINUS F HOR. (If you're B I'm minus F)
Raine: If she B I wear singlet la.
Me: HAHAHAHA

So I drove them there and my dad drove us to the hotel where we had dinner, cos it's my mom's and my grandma's Chinese birthday, and I drove us back from there. Everything was fine except for when I reached the fifth floor of the multi-storey carpark and tried to park.

Hahahaha really fail. I tried like five times before I slotted the car in.

Tsk.

Jialat.

Anyway I've got a picture of a cat to show you, it's this fuzzy pedigree cat which stuck its head out of a crack in the wall from the second floor and stared moodily at me. Scared me like nobody's business!! I'll show you when I get the picture from my sister. ;)

A'ight. Have a good night babe. Love you!

Lydiaaaaaa.

rub it in why don't you

2010-09-18T15:22:00.001+08:00

Quote of the day.

Me: Boy I'm gonna drive. Y'wanna come?
Lewis: Okay.
Me: I thought you said you're not gonna sit in a car that I drive?
Lewis: I like living life on the edge.
Me: ...............

Thumbs up for your one-liners, boy.

2010-09-17T00:34:00.004+08:00

So today after school I went to eat supper with Kenny (at 11+) and we saw these two cats sitting together. So cute la!!!
I got up to take a closer picture but they walked away. :/

Anyway I stayed at my aunt's last night. Cos I end school/work at 9.30pm, and gotta be at school at 9.30 the next morning. Yeah. So shiok to go home to Dover. Really. Anyway it's just one night.

Yeah. My dad's watching Rocky Bolboa. Wth. Seriously.

So today there was this rookie in the phone room who was like trying to get more pledges than me. I left her in the dirt with eleven pledges to my seventeen. Hahahaha :P Kenny says I'm 'damn competitive'.

HELL YEAH I AM.

I dreamt that I met the one last night. Y'know. The proverbial ONE. I can remember how he looks like. I sat in his lap and we laughed while seated at a wooden table.

:) I'm happy. I was very tired tonight, though. Really was.

I came home and wanted to go drive with my dad but I remembered I don't have probation plates. Arghhh. Am gonna go get them tomorrow and also to buy brown hair dye. ;) Eh heyyyy.

Okay la I shall leave you with the following quote.

Dad to Raine: PUT BACK YOUR TOWEL HOR.
Raine: Sorry la forget.
Dad: FORGET. YOU'VE BEEN FORGETTING FOR THE PAST 18 YEARS HOR.

:)

Sleepy. Tired. Back aches. The red tide is receding oh YES.

Today I walked all the way to NIE canteen from NTU south spine with my three bags just to meet Daryl Chan for lunch. So tiring and I was sweating like an aardvark when I got there. Made a few new friends; Zul is cool. :)

Yep. It's stuff like that that makes me smile. Typing words on a screen, listening to Bon Jovi ballads. Hahaha. My dad ironing in the background while watching Rocky Bolboa. LOL random, much.

Whoop I can't wait for tomorrow there's roads to drive on and hair to dye!!!

:DDDDDDD

Oh and I met Jiaqi on Monday did I tell you? Yeppers. Awesome.

:D I'll see you soon, hot stuff! It's my bed for me!

Much, much love,

Lydia.

*remark of the day - Sean Lai: Where'd you go last sem? We were making guesses. I said you went to join a cult.

2010-09-14T23:44:00.003+08:00

If you need an orgasm, a pick-me-up, a real motivator, PASS YOUR DRIVING TEST.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I'M SO HAPPY

I PASSED WITH 8 POINTS

AHAHAHAHAHA

I couldn't believe it. I thought I'd failed cos I reversed right instead of left at first for my parallel parking, and the tester kept tapping on his screen.

For remembrance's sake.

I came home and my dad told me that my mom was angry with him. I said why.

Dad: Cos I was driving then I turned a sharp corner. Her kueh fell and she stepped on it with her high heel.
Me: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

HAHAHAHAHA

So when I went into their room to show them my test stub, my dad was leaning over my mom and I couldn't really see what they were doing.

2010-09-12T20:43:00.003+08:00

So what've I been doing?

Nothing much. Chilling.

Meeting Kenny at late hours. Getting irritated by old flames. Seriously waste of time. Brief time at my cousin's flea market stall. Got a pair of purple mouse shoes complete with ears, whiskers and tail.

Hahahaha. :)

Just now we went to Changi Airport after church for dinner. I'm cramping :( And bleeding. :( I don't like itttt.

I'm meeting Jia Qi tomorrow. I know right.

And I'm HAVING MY DRIVING TEST ON TUESDAY AAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

My brother's watching Ice Age 3. Ahh very itchy. Yawwwwwn.

I can't wait to stop bleeding.

Okay la. I need to start my readings. I've got tons of books to read, and I don't even have half of those books. Gotta go order online. :/ Damn dumb I swear, my school's bookshop.

All right. I'll be going now; check back to see if anything interesting/good i.e. passing my test has happened, kay.

:)

Love you. Yes you.

2010-09-09T23:32:00.002+08:00

Hello! :) Ahhhhh tired seh. My lectures are so boring. I like dawson's lecture, tamara's and forensic science, but not the rest.

Y'KNOW WHAT YESTERDAY I GOT A $3000 PLEDGE. YES. HOW AWESOME IS THAT.

Personal record. So funny cos I have to answer an interview question that says how much is your highest pledge? And before that it was $300 but now I've multiplied that by ten. The new supervisor hottie loves me. ;)

Altogether I earned $3875 last night. I earned about $1030 today. 17 pledges; my most so far. Jiamin was like urging me to get 20. I told her you get la!

:)

Wa tired seh thank God tomorrow is a holiday even though I have like driving at 11.30. :/ And then I gotta go to that FLEA MARKET for my COUSIN WENDY and I quarrelled with my sister about it okay. This morning went to her room she was like can I don't go you very shit leh I have things on one you never tell me is tomorrow. I told her that I'd already said it was on hari raya and that if she didn't like it she could tell Wendy herself. She scolded me back and I screamed at her "You think I like meh! I already told you you never listen that's not my problem if you don't want to go just tell her tell me for what."

Seriously. She's such a pain in the ass sometimes.

After that she came out and said, "You look nice."

Yeah huh. She's always submitting in the end.

That's my sister. I'm the stubborn hold-your-anger one.

:P

Okay I'm... going to make myself vegetable soup for supper, since I only had 'lunch' at 5.30pm today. My family's watching Desperate Housewives. And to think my dad says I watch dumb shows when I'm watching Top Chef.

:/

Have a good weekend you. :)

Lydia,

home finally.

through the woodchipper

2010-09-08T16:53:00.002+08:00

Well hello I'm here because I'm going to work at 6 today and I'm getting interviewed for some newsletter. Muahaha. Today was not bad; Dawson's Literature and the arts lecture was interesting although the front part was veryyyyy hard to get through, like those jaw-clenching sleepy moments yknow.

I had lunch with Hwee Hsia, Jing, Fai and this new guy Shafie who's year 2 Lit, who's agreed to join my personal fan club, whose president is of course Fai. Hahahaha. Then all of us except Jing went for Forensics Science lecture at the Nanyang Audi.

Fai crashed for a while, then left. When she was leaving I looked over at Hwee Hsia and Shafie and they were both sleeping in exactly the same direction. Hahaha after the break I fell asleep too like super crashed, my head on the armrest and Shafie said he thought of waking me but everyone was knocking off so he just let me be.

I could hear snippets of words though, about criminals and policemen. I woke up near the end in time to hear the lecturer tell us about the woodchipper murder where a guy killed his wife, put her in the freezer, then ran her through a woodchipper at a frozen lake. He was sentenced to 99 years in prison. Just say life sentence can already right like as if he'll live that long.

Like seriously what the hell.

And some other guy who dissolved the woman's body in sulphuric acid cos he thought no body = no murder charges but they found her false teeth and gall stones in the sink and charged him anyway.

Ahha. Very interesting, really.

I'll try to stay awake next week but I have a feeling the sleeping will continue because for some reason it's damn comfortable to sleep there. Hahahaha.

:)

Okay I'm off to do some shopping they're having those bazaar stalls at Can A again whoop. Go withdraw money first.

Love you!

LVL

scuttling

my Lit professor

2010-09-06T21:22:00.002+08:00

To those who don't exactly believe that my lit prof is hot.

HOW TO CONCENTRATE LIKE THAT?!?!?!

home happy

2010-09-06T16:30:00.002+08:00

I tell you I can't stand my father. I was going out for lunch, and he asked me to buy food back for him.

Me: What you want.
Dad: Er.... Go buy three double cheeseburger.
Me: ...Gimme money.
Dad: And a mushroom swiss meal from Burger King.
Me: Siao ah!
Dad: And claypot chicken rice from kopitiam.
Me: EAT SO MUCH SIAO DAD YOU VE SIAO LEH
Dad: Just buy la!
Me: EAT SO MUCH SIAO ONE.

So when I was at Compass Point, I was walking towards the escalators. They're having some Gundam exhibition thingy, so I couldn't see which way was going up. I went to the right side, and it wasn't going up. And there was a gate that stopped me from going to the other side. I had to walk all the way round to the other side.

Me: Arghhhh!!!
Uncle behind me: Arggghhh! Exactly! Argghhh!
Me: Hahahaha

SO FUNNY LOLOL

:)

Quite cute, know, the uncle.

LOLOLOL

HI KENNY SAY HI POK POK

random flashback

2010-09-06T00:44:00.002+08:00

This was taken sometime last year. My dad cycling, with my mom sitting on the back, with rollerblades. 100% proven recipe for disaster.

As proven below.

I swear my parents are kids.

paperpictures

2010-09-04T19:54:00.005+08:00

We-ell. Here's Charmine, on the right, with Danial. :) Yep. Hahaha she's finally back. :)

Aaaaand this is Joti who's lost SO MUCH WEIGHT with her gorgeous looking chocolate crepe. LIKE SERIOUSLY.

Oh this was after we'd all finished eating and were fooling around . HAHAHAHAHAHA Danial's a mad cow.

LOLOLOLOL I just like this picture very much. Dunno whose hand that is taking a picture! Y'know they were all so terrible! Because Danial suddenly developed some photo-taking phobia, making everyone say he was replacing Edward, who's always refused to take pictures, and when I crawled over there to take one with him, everyone's phones and cameras whipped up simultaneously like paparazzi!! Super scary!! LOL

That's Miss Tan Yi'en the scatterbrained sweetheart, Jason the birthday boy, MJ the oh-i'm-hot, and you can't really see Guanie, who's never been able to stand my laughter.

The guys, minus Ed, who was down with fever and regretting it so much. Clockwise from left, MJ, Guan, Greg, Dan, Jase.

Sigh.

I miss AJ. 32-06. Really weally.

LVL

home, back-ache.

P.S. Today I was at my ahpo's, for Jadey's birthday. Don't really remember what happened; we played sleeping queens, had nasi lemak that my mom cooked, mango cake, and then I fell asleep on the sofa with my uncle asking me to massage him.

charming day

2010-09-04T00:55:00.002+08:00

So today I went to school, then to watch Sandcastle with Daniel, Jon and Cheese. Was a nice movie. Made me somehow serious and slightly sad.

I rushed to City Hall for 3206 gathering. Jason was sitting on the stairs, so I sat there with him and waited for the rest. Danial was the next to arrive, of course. He came from behind instead of the front. Hahaha. Followed by Greg, Guan, MJ, Miss Tan Yi'en and the elusive Charmine from Japan. :) Christine was a surprise visitor cos she was supposedly in Indonesia. Joti was the last to arrive. Jason, Dan, Guan and I were starving, but when we got to Food for thought, (which was the planner Jason's place to eat) it was full. I suggested Republic of Steak, which was also full.

We walked around for like half an hour before finally settling at some place called Cheeky Chocolate in Illuma.

And then had tons of fun. HAHAHAHA yeah I really did. Really miss all of them. Like, just had so much fun and kept laughing. :D

I show you piccies when Char and Chris upload kay! Christine will only upload in two weeks cos she's pretending she's still in Indonesia so as to surprise her other friends on outings. -.-

I know right. Argh headache.

I haven't seen you in days.

:/

Sigh.

Oh well.

Monday/Sunday I'm going to Kenny's house to play PS3 with him and have pizza. Hahahaha :DDDD

Can't wait.

WHOOP.

Okay I think.. I'll got and wait for pictures. My dad's coming to annoy me.

Have a good weekend okay. I'll be going to my grandma's tomorrow to celebrate Jadey's birthday. Yep she's the youngest cousin. :)

Night, y'all.

Love,

Lydia,
yours through and through,
waiting for you.

whomp he said the whoom whoom

2010-09-03T01:49:00.002+08:00

Hello I am damn tired.

Today I went to school and to work after that. Hence the tiredness. And like we called nantah which is like the older alumni, and it's sooo hard to get pledges from them. And I even called one who passed away. I felt so damn bad can, apologised like so sincerely.

Oh we've got a new supervisor WHO IS DAMN HOT I TELL YOU I couldn't stop staring at her butt. Hahahaha I hope she doesn't read this.

Hahaha she's so pretty and so nice. I kept thinking, phonathon has this thing izzit all the supervisors must be hot??? Yeah she's replacing Carol who's like the sweetest little thing ever.

Then there was this guy called Jiaban who's new, and he didn't a single pledge the whole night. So Jiamin (the new hottie) said, "Eh Jiaban if you don't get any pledge you really must jia ban okay!" *jia ban means do overtime in chinese*

HAHAHAHAHA I LAUGHED SO LOUDLY lololol.

Oh and today when I was going to the HSS library with Jing I saw this cute angmoh student, and Jing said, "Hi Professor."

I did a double take and stared at him, cos he was wearing sunglasses. He grinned and I recognized the smile.

"Professor Yerkes??"
"Yes, hello."
"MYGOODNESS YOU LOST WEIGHT!"
"OH! Finally, somebody noticed!"
"How did you do it!!"
"I stopped eating junk food and started running."
"Ohh.. You look gooood."
"Haha thank you."

He'd left his hair long and it fell in waves around his face, the sexiest colour, burnt caramel. SO DAMN HOT I TELL YOU I COULDN'T STOP STARING HAHAHAHA

"Jing I should've taken his class!!!!!!! Next sem I take his class. He's SO CUTE OMG."

And then we saw Tangney, who'd shaved, and he looked okay, though I prefer him scruffy.

Seriously our lit course has too many cute professors. So distracting wth.

Okay I gtg! Have a good night!

Tomorrow it's advanced vic lit with my favourite Tamara Wagner and then movie/play with Daniel and the guys and then 3206 gathering with Charmine!
