Journey to the MOS

Back in 2005 ..
for this blog took a longgg time to reach its intended destination...
residing under draft status
.. spending a lonely new years eve by itself ;(


>>
Ohh doesnt Christmas fill you up with such warmth and cheer
that you want to just give everybody a big huggg
...
yahh rightt..
depending on who is near u i guess ;p


Another christmas came and left
And somehow year by year the magic of Christmas fades
a pale form of what it was when I was small and christmas trees were tall
yeahhh
now im not soo talll ... and christmas trees are still very tall
i still cant hang the lights without help from a laddle ..;p


Christmas eve was spent hanging out with sab and cora ;p
planned to go MOS ..finally
BUT the queue was amazing
it defys logic..
it just wasnt moving
everybody just looked they have been standing there like.. forever
it seems as if everybody came at the same time
"whomp" and the queue just fell from the sky into place


To avoid spending Christmas eve waiting for in a queue ...
although the crowd looked like they were having loads of fun *rolls eyes*
we went ta MOMO ..
and they were playing christmas songs !!
urgh?! hello.. 10pm already..
but it was then the first tingle of the christmas warmth wiggled its way through my body
ahh.. finally some christmas spirit in my cold cynical heart ;p


But since no one was dancing .. we decided to walk back to Clark Quay
and galk at the queue at MOS
hopping for some eye candy
and maybe some kind .. but very foolish but still very cute soul
would invite us to join them in the queue ;p


Anywaz.. we noe how that would end up
for naught of course
;p
soo in the end we opt for having some munchies at TCC to while the time away
and we talked
and talked
and talked


and suddenly.. people around us were shouting
"Merry Christmas!!"
....
i guess the christmas crept up on us..
and we dint even noe it..
but it was a nice cosy way to spend it..
we then proceeded to party the night away at momo
getting picked up by some young .. er boys
hiaz..
some things never change ;p


>> Then .. with music still in our blood
we planned to go MOS on the following Wed..
but alas ...it was another failed attempt ;p
and we missed the whole gp of salsa ppl who went there..
dang..


>>finally ..
on Friday .. we decided to go by hook or by crook ;p
Had a salsa gathering at the beach during the day
and got gloriously suntanned.
First time having an actual potluck on the beach
Usually when ppl say they will bring food..
it usually consists mainly of chips ..;p
but surprise ..surprise
baked rice-nuggets-spring rolls-jelly-sandwiches-punch-pizza.
wowz.. im impressed.. and very full
my little contribution was corn chips, salsa, and squeeze cheese>>
a most ingenious piece of food technology .
who ever thought you can squeeze cheese outa can..
and into ur mouth .. hehe


plus.. short bursts of beach captain's ball and frisbee..
mixed in with a bit of rugby whenever possible ;p
swimming with rita
being fed stawberries by sabrina..
dancing salsa in the sand with fadz
what a rose-hued day
i cant wait to see the pics they took


MOS>> me, sab, cora, yunfeng, rita, joyce..
queued freaking 2 hrs to get in
and .. hmm...while the interior deco was amazing
them music left me wanting
1 word : uninspiring


>> News years day after
was a quiet affair ..
catching fire works at the padang
Sky flowers.. amazingly pretty
one of those things ..
that even wide screen tv cant convey its magnificence, its beauty, the scale of its enormity ...


2006 >> Soo when's the next party ??
School has been freaking busy
i think im soo gg to die this term
classes are competitive with demanding professors
gym has become an obsession that i cannot ignore
salsa practices are becoming a chore
cant wait to do muay thai again this week
itching to give the good old sandbag a whack
Loreal e-strat is tedious.. and getting boring
Loreal brandstorm has just began
Research work is piling up
Marketing for muay thai is taking up too much time
I am fighting a sugar craving that even willy wonka cannot satisfy
My heart .. is running on its own mind..
dragging a confused me along
yoyoing between sadness.. happiness.. hopelessness and whistfulness
my brain is still on holiday and refusing to come back
in conclusion .. im going .. bonkers


But whats new ;p


>> 1 last party before true mugging begins: Lights Out bash at MOS
Hopefully with R&B at the main dance floor..
it will be more bearable
plus with lots of other friends there
let it be happening..
pleaseeee.....

BORING BROWN

You're brown, a credible, stable color that's reminiscent of fine wood, rich leather, and wistful melancholy. Most likely, you're a logical, practical person ruled more by your head than your heart. With your inquisitive mind and insatiable curiosity, you're probably a great problem solver. And you always gather all of the facts before coming to a timely, informed decision. Easily intrigued, you're constantly finding new ways to challenge your mind, whether it's by reading the newspaper, playing a trivia game, or composing a piece of music. Brown is an impartial, neutral color, which means you tend to see the difference between fact and opinion easily and are open to many points of view. Trustworthy and steady, you really are a brown at heart.

Pah!.. i sound boring ;p hahhahah man.. i cant believe it

*Ambrosia*

I <3 celeste's aviators..

My try at being lao dah .. with sabrina as my ..ermm mistress??? hahhaha

Pride and Prejudice

Pride complicates matters
it brings upon
words that shouldnt have been said
sliences that should have been filled
actions that should not have been taken
things that we should have done


and most of all regret


If you are lucky enough,
like Elizabeth Bennet
you get to remedy it before its too late..
but its never too late right>>


hmmm ..
in the real life that we occupy ..
sometimes unhappily soo
we do leave things till its too late
and forever hold that little pang in the heart
for things unfulfilled ...


The film was great ..
while although not totally juciy like the book
it was enjoyable to see an adaptation that dint try to be "creative"
although mi and simin agreed that the whole show would be much more "watchable" if the actors were better looking. ;p
They made Biggings look like an arse from 'dumb and dumber'
Jane look like a 'crossed-eye more plain jane'
and Darcy unfortunately looks abit pudgy ..
he lacks the sharp sardonic air ..
I think Ewan Macgreggor would be soo much better ..
even Ralph Finnes..
and where is my Liam Neelson
*blah*
but thats sterotyping right.. hmmm


I guess to do the other actresses justice..
you just cannot look good when you are acting opposite Kiera Knightly
she is just too beautiful ..
perhaps the whole show was cast around her
;p


But it is lovely to hear english spoken soo
I love the way the old english language flows ..
and the cutting brittish accent
every word dripping with meaning
the subtilities of the language make every conversation laden with underlying themes
I have read pride and prejudice like 5 times.. and each time is a treasure hunt,
you rediscover gems and find new hidden meanings ..


just the other day at Kyno...
while browsing for Terry Pratchett books
I found a gaggle of teenage boys gushing over the author
at first i tot .. 'how tiresome .. what daft boys'
but since i was there.. i evesdrop while browsing
> a skill perfected by the female race eons ago ;p


And guess what ..
yes they were british
and somehow ..
even their gushings.. seem more ....cute ;p
hahha
im an accent-ist
find me a hot english bloke anytime ..
im just sit and hear him speak all dayyyyyyyyyyyyy/...


;p


::a day of sloching at home::
not so much outa my own will
but .. more of the will of my tummy :(
seem to have contracted some sorta gastric flu ..
yest night was a torture..
waking up to a persistent cramp in the abdomen
falling aslp in the toilet a couple of times..
but still my tummy has not left me in peace
*blah*


soo today im home-bound
shall do whatever domestic stuff that is required of mi
>>like finally cleaning my room ..after 1 year ;p
>>my shopping bags are creating a black whole in the center of my room
i keep heaping them into a pile..
but they never seem enough..
soon it will occupy a alternte dimension of its own
and start consuming the rest of my room ;p


*yawnz*
Yunfeng says that Mr Darcy doesnt exist in real life..
I shall beg to differ
he is the closest character to real life
for while he has his flaws .. he works towards whatever he feels is right
and for the best of Elizabth
Soo Mr Dracy shall remain my dream prince..
for now ...
and in my reality ..
Ewan is Darcy :)
coo


*might have to skip mambo tonight*
soo soori ben..
cant be a bunny for ur bachelor night
im sure you can find bouncier bunnies out there .. ;p
hehe


For now i need to busy myself on research about anti-money-laundering laws
how interesting
Zzzzzzzzz..


:: hope is a dangerous thing to have .. but i hope ...i hope that the memories i have left in the dregs of your mind.. will leave a lasting imprint with sprinkles of stardust and glitter ...that will bring a smile to your face whenever you think of me ...::

*goldie*

*blig bling*
the shine is blinding me..
i see the future..
my trip to GUESS has got me Paris Hilton ambitions
flashes of gold with quirky accessories ..
*dreamz*
and soo i drift in my own world as i shop
until i bumped into Guan Hua
sitting by himslef, as girls mualed around him, ignoring his prescence
thats because he is "the invisible boyfriend"
the ones that fade into the shadows during sale and appear at the cash register .. with a strong willing arm, waiting to be loaded


ahhh
howw sweet..
i wish i had one..
mine just grumble and give me a time limit
every shop becomes a race.. a battle.. a stressful exercise ;p


Anywaz... i decided to plonk down beside him and have a friendly chat
which turned out to be a quick lesson on Mars and Venus ;p
>he said that men are naturally designed to be useless at shopping
because they can only focus on one thing at a time
and it just gets overwhelming with soo many clothes sometimes
>while women can scan and take in more things in one view
which also means we can check out a cute guy with our peripheral vision
while guys get caught checking girls out easily
LOL
> i made a reference to how guys cannot multi-task
and he said that is why when a guy is asked by his gf if he has thought of her the whole day... he will have to say no..
But the girl can say honestly that she has thought of him the whole day - while doing other stuff..


hmmm... seriouss.....
anywaz.. I wouldnt trust a guy if he said he has been thinking of me the whole day
that reeks of a huge flowerful lie


but would I want my bf to be a artful lyer???..
welllllll
if it makes me happy
i guess.. a teeny weeny white lie would do sometimes
like telling me how beautiful i am
how he wont mind if i ever become fat
how my face is actually better than the SKII model
how he worships the ground walk on
yeahhhhhhhhhhh right
like that would ever happen ;p


He wouldnt even walk slower for me
while i limp along on my bai kah leg down the stairs ;p
what a caring bf..
i imagine he would be a lovely father
training all his kids to develope strong leg muscles once they can walk
trying to keep up with him and not get lost ;p


I told him ..
I saw ci-ern's bf shielding her from the cold up on the freezng mountains
~ memories flashed back to Stong and Europe
and i got an insight (bright light and angelic music)..
>>he would never do that ...
if we were ever in a similar position
he would probably be too busy cursing about how cold he is
to bother about me
sad but true...
although he denied ...
it was a denial without much fight ;p
ahh welll
soo much for needing a hero


great ...
i am a kick-ass gal
and no one needs to take care of me yahh
that seems to be the general thought
hmmm i guess that comes with not having a heaving bossom
>> u will not have no big-strong alpha males wanting to sweep u away to some safe place (preferbly into their big-strong chests) ;p
*pui*


Anywazz...
The Decent was a great movie-- seriously fightful.. in a good way
i think it was inspired by Smeggle..from LOTR
but those smeggles are more blood-lusting than devious
:6 women getting caved-in in some ulu cave and meeting those creatures
robin said there woudlnt be much of a movie if it was 6 guys..
as guys would have made a quick job of those smeggles
but i shall treat that as a sexist remark and not comment
for some things .. rolled eyes will do


However the caving sceens are amazing thou
really inspiring to see those women do cool shit
makes me wana jump straight up and start doing cross crountry runs and rock climb and white water raft... and develope washboard abbs ;p
but that would also mean i have to open doors, carry my own bag and limp on my one good leg by myslef for teh rest of my life


ahhhh the choices we have to make ;p


on a happier note:
i got my grade review
although a B+ is still very gloomy :(
But with eyes like Rasphutin .. i would rather not talk to him anymore
I feel myself shrinking like Alice in wonderland everytime i talk to Menkoff


Kiwi on the other hand gave me an A+
!!! woohooo !!! go Supply Chain !!!
I wonder if the rest of the class saw it coming
i must admit .. we must have looked like a pretty bimbo gp heheh


Unfortunatly a 3.8 avg this term is soo not gg to get me my magna
blah


why oh why


sighz


i miss the flippant way you flip your hair, your yellow tinted smile, your jacket that kept me warm

Carnivore no more and scarred leggs

*Groanz*
NO MORE MEAT
for a while at least ;p
Just got back from a huge dinner at Carnivore, Chijmes
Despite whatever my teamates had said during the trek that they could eat a whole cow ..we could hardly stand after half an hour of meat being served continuously to us... bleah .. the bbq-ed pineapple near the end was a nice touch thou.. the caramised sweetness.. balanced the tartness of the fruit and cleansed the palette of all the heavy meat taste..*yum*


Too bad it came abit too late.. i think Heng puked it out after we left
Sad to say it wasnt a very nice warm ending to one of the most grueling trek i have attempted to date. And I thought i was prepared for anything after going to Tahan ;p
Well i was prepared for everything other than 7 .. no 8 days of RAIN .. *bleah*
And all that could possibly go wrong ..did.. well kinda off..


Journal of the trek


Start of trek:
It was then we knew why it was called ulu sepat..
yes yes.. because it is freaking ulu
the trip to the starting point of the trek was a difficult one
the roads are almost inaccessible with loose soil ..
the 4 wheel drive got caught in the mud countless times and we were forced to get out and WALK through the freaking mud soo that the driver, Shafik can force his jeep through... at 3am in the morning.. *brrrr*


=stop=
needa pack ...gg for kayakking expedition tml
haizz.. regreting it terribly now man..
if it rains again tml i will throw my paddle at the sky and start raving at it .. and then just throw my wretched body into the sea .. in defeat..
How can anyone be possibley sooo suay .. maybe because its in my name *yun* ..
Clouds have a speacial affinity to me .. ;p esp those big, fat and juicy with rain ;p urgh
The laugh with glee everytime they see me .. they go *hoho there she is.. lets follow her and drench her and cover her from the evil sun*
*pui*
i miss the gals.. and wana SHOP with simin before she leaves.. *sobs*
and now that i got my RA $$$$..i can go crazy !!!!
hiazz got money but no time to spend.. i shd just hit myself on the head on the wall ;p


Nevermind.. shopping therapy will come soon
and Work is in waiting in line
maybe a facial and manicure too to remind my body that it is a lady and not a wild jungle woman..although my body will beg to differ.. my legs are now a criss-cross of scars and sand fly bites ;p ..


im crossing my fingers for *km reveiw* and my supply chain results


My dear Kwee .. please dnt let mi down


to u: I hope you feel better .. your misery makes mi feel horrible


soo many words i cannot say .. and shall not say

*Pooh*

Gosh ..
its been a long time since i jotted down my thoughts.
so many things have happened
and yet the ironic thing is
the more things happen .. the less time i have to write


but looking back..
im not sure if i had a good term or not :(
Just got back my spanish and marketing strat grades..
and B+ and a A- respectively ..
sighz.. looks like repeating a stella year of 4 GPA is near impossible
maybe i migth not even get another deanlist..
le sighz..
*dissapointment hangs heavily in the air*


Robin tries to cheer mi up..
but .. he doesnt get it that im not sad. NONONO..
Im angry with myself..
I noe i dint apply enough of myself into those 2 .. especially spanish .
I am angry at my incompetence...
When u have reach soo far..
falling below expectations is hard to swallow


ben said to me ..
if you have no expectations.. you will not be dissapointed.
funny .. thats what DL siad about relationships ..
But i said .. if u have no expectations, you will hae no goals, you have no goals, you will not reach far, if you do not reach far, you wont move


Thats different in a relationship right? i dunoe..
i do not set goals in my relationship.
like ..err *i want a A in kissing technique* and a *A+ in positioning * .. ;p
hehehee..


BUT some good things did happen:
> we won first prize in the Triumph Marketing competition !!!
Team Maxx: simin, cora, jeffery, alvin and me..
Although there were many sleepless nights, long meetingss and unhealthy snacks... ;p at least it was funny.. alot of lame bra jokes that seemed funnier at 3 am in teh morning .. -AND will not leave the room.. * i swear*
We had seemed like an unlikely group, but looks like we pulled the stunt of the year !!
haha and there seemed to be unhappy competitors .. according to alvin: there was a competitor from SMU no less, who panned our marketing plans on her blog:
I could barely contained my smirk as i read it.
>>SHe sounded really bitter, and she thought her group's idea was a sure winner, but the judges just did not understand it fully.
*rolls eyes* .. i mean the whole point of the competition is to COMMUNICATE your idea to the judges and to IMPRESS upon them how your idea will benefit their company. I like your idea of a gothic fariy tale..seriously .. i have always thought a darker twist to fairy tales was tres chic.. but exactly, the idea is not NEW- if you think its the greatest most innovative idea of the century..
>> Please! the idea was sooo LAST CENTURY.. if you are up-to-date with the promotions of companies out there ~ which you should if you want to be a decent marketing major~ the idea was used by many already...
like Dior's last season fashion show and even the ENVY levis ads now for the ladies jeans.. reaks of your idea.. *pui*
Okay .. i have ranted enough ..I just couldnt stand the sourness, the arrogance.. :P *too bad you have no money to go Thailand now.. if you need to depend on winning a competition to go to somewhere soo near like Thailand, then you are not only a lousy marketing student, you are a lousy finance student, bec you cant even handel simple budgeting to save like what, a measly $600 ??* *snigger*


Okayyyyy i ranted more.. sorri.. no more ranting, no more bitchness- i shall retract my claws ;p xxxxxxx


>I finally got my first sports medal in my university life. haha.. not a very glam IVP medal.. but still a medal ...for the SMU runabout.
Team SMUX : yu jian, robin, heng, alvin and me.
BUT we dint compete in the CCA catergory.. being astute game theorist that we are.. we have decided that the Nash Equlibrium lies in us taking part in the "open" catergory... where our odds are better.. why compete with the track and field team?? Let the floorball, soccer, rugby fight it out amongst themselves for the so called "blonde" as Nash would say.. we on the other hand will go for the "brunette" ;p and we got the babe !! 2nd prize.. with $$ in sportslink voucher yet spent ;p


Took part in the ultimate frisbee competition: dint win anything.. but got free booze all round at Brewerkz!!!.. someone fom the frisbee team was VERY GENEROUS. I think he was drunk when he offered to buy us more drinks. hehe and I made sure to look everyone in the eye when toasting - so as not to have bad sex for 7 years ..LOL
The 7-8 pints was not very kind to my gut thou.. me and robin blacked out in front of my house.. with the car door open... because i REFUSED to get outa car.. i came around at like 4am to find him sleeping on the cement floor beside the car.. omg ! I am amazed at how safe my neighbourhood is. AND that also means too that robin is not strong enough to carry me up to my house.. ;(
HOWHOWHOW .. my wedding night ... *hmf* .. this problem shall be dealt with soon. hahah He will have to do more push-ups ;p


ANwaz i puked like i have never puked before. Beer still brings shudders down my spine .. *brrrrr*


Ahh well. lesser booze.. lesser calories ;p but ohh!!! i cant wait to go clubbing again! i feel like DANCING!!! needa shake that huge booty of mine.. its getting big enough to play mahjong on ;p


Sadly this holiday would not the season to be a merry.. I do NOT do merry :p
pah..anwayz still have Andre's and Francis research ..
still meeting Triumph to settle the follow up of our plans..
still going trekking in Malaysia . yeah! clearing another 2 of the G7 of Malaysia! ~Another 7 days of kickass climbing.. no bathing.. instant food ..lousy sleeping conditions, perpetual rain with lots of LEECHES .. URGH !But still the ideal sounds tantalising.. call me crazy .. call me anythign you like actually .. as long as you are out of hearing range ;p


> Plus Kayakking around Sinagpore and Ubin after i come back .. yeahh to feel the power of the sea.. its great to be in the elements of nature.. that is if i do not come back with "pai kah", "pai qui" or both from the trek ;p
because, you see..I havent mastered the art of paddeling with my tongue yet .. hehehe


AHh i can hear terry calling mee....shall not keep him waiting . ;p
I shall cuddle up with my latest Terry Pratchett book now ..
I love Borders !!!..
did i mention i love borders ..
yes I love Borders !!
hahhaa


BUt the man of my live now is not terry thou ..
its DOnnie !!!
*Le Swoon*.. he is amazingly hot in Sha Po Lang .. the new chinese movie
about .. triads and police in HK..
apparently after Infernal Affairs..
now everybody wants to produce a Traid-Police Movies ..*rooooolllls eyyeees twice*
And they say only the Sinagporeans are unimaginative.. ;p


But no complains here.. the movie: SPL, was filmed and produced artisitically .. very darkish stylised film.. showed signs of Quientan Tarrantino's genius .. with a yummylicious donnie yen .. srutting around in tight leather jacket, and even tighter pants.. and *holds-breath* circulation cutting tight balck shirt ..
the story gets more exciting as he takes off more clothes.. lol
sounds porno yea..i think i sound like some lecherous old man watching a shu qi movie.. ;p
Duuhhhhh


Good night.. back to my books .. and maybe tonight i shall have sweet.. ~ note: NOT WET ;p dreams of Donnie in his hottest black carrying me up to my house while im drunk .. hahhaha... * pish* .. someone hit me ..pleaseeee...
