i think i'm going barking mad. .
the weather here is hot hot hot!!!
to add to that, the campus is frickin' hilly!! like worse than nus!!
when i'm on the school bus, and it goes down a slope, i get a slight ear block. that's how steep the whole campus is.
and each dept is soooo far away from one another.. yikes!!!!
food here - not fantastic at all. it's not exactly edible.

well.. haha that should mean i'll be losing weight pretty darn soon!!!
i smell like a sour sock now.. ta!!!

hi everyone.. i'll be moving to pinkcheeked-in-hk for the time being..
that's for practically everyone to see.. i guess me and norm (hopefully) will update this from time to time..

im in hk right now, on exchange for a sem.. that's all for now.. :)

this is for you dear :)

Leaving on a jet plane

Oh no the day is here. My dearie is gng off to the land of Honky Tonks. Although i am abit apprehensive abt letting her face the challenge of living alone in a foreign land but i am sure she will be fine as i know she would be able to adapt to the lifestyle of eating dim sum and shopping. Hehe jus joking i am sure she would have the resolve of adapting to the new lifestyle. Now i see her huffing and puffing up and down the house busy with her packing so i decide to write this entry and tell her that I AM SO PROUD OF HER!!! hehe moomoo is finally becoming a big gurl all ready to face the world. Anyway we are going to swensen's now as it is our tradition to eat ice cream before either of us goes off to anywhere.

2 more days

feeling a bit surreal that i'm leaving soon..
took a few ( that's an understatement eheh) with my new 'toys' and myself.. heh

here's lumpy with my new oakleys.. gonna pass lumpy to norm for the timebeing.. i'm sure lumpy will be in good hands.. hehe

peekaboo!! i see you~~ yes.. those are my new 'toys'.. haha one at $3, and another nearly 90 times more than that :X if u cant figure it out, it's a character from moomin valley..

was playing with the colour accent thingy on my camera.. cool huh? haha.. norman dear, i think your camera may have that function too :P

it's so weird, i just felt like ' hmm i wish there's something i could watch on tv abt hk'.. and bingo! there it was.. on discovery travel and living.. haha but it's something i've seen before already.. -.-

well, i guess i'd better continue packing.. taa~~~

happy birthday stories

it's my dad's birthday today.. he's 51 this year :P
went for dinner at swensens, food was pretty yuck and the menu was really really sad looking
anyways papa got into a talking mood and started telling us stories of our family, and when we were young, etc.. it was really funny how he said everything.. haha

like how he was just lying on the floor in the living room one day
and sasa as a toddler just waddles up to him, and without warning
BOOM! and slams her butt into her stomach and sits on him!
"wah! how to tahan u tell me" hohohoo.. i laughed till i nearly cried..

another time i was sulking cos my dad 'bullied' me ( he was just playing)
and sasa asked me "what happened"
"pa lor"
BAM!
she literally swung her whole arm and right smack into my dad's stomach. 0_o"
and proceeded to stare at him with an angry pose..
*guffaw*

and how, when i was a baby ( one year old or so), coming back from the babysitter's place,
her toys would lie all over the living room, and she'd gather as much toys as she could with her arms!! waaahahaha obviously not wanting me to touch them.. haha.. now who's the one who locked herself up in the master bedroom and tortured my toys!! <-- drew them with markers and sewed stupid patches on them..

how i couldnt really be weaned off the pacifier,
there was a little tear in it one day, and sasa TORE IT OFF!!!
and my mum gave the excuse "oh spoil already cannot buy another one" -_-"" i was a heartbroken little girl.. hahahaha

cos pa was a smoker in the past, and he was smoking in the kitchen one day..
think i could smell the smoke from the bedroom,
so i ran to the kitchen and SCREAMED "PA!"
hilarious man..

it's so funny the things we did when we were young..

then family stories...

Yeye (my paternal grandfather) had 2 dogs in the kampong (junction of Little Road and Joo Seng Road)
one was an Alsatian (German shepherd) and another a small fluffy white dog..
he said the dog's one of the fiercest dogs in the kampong and had to be muzzled whenever he was out.. haha
"in order to have a dog last time means that you are quite well-off" OOoOOooo
Yeye was a Magnolia ice-cream vendor who worked his way to be an ice-cream agent..by learning English from the colonialists at that time, and they kept giving him tips and stuff.. cool right.. haha.. the shop was ard Simpang Bedok.. and now it's some condo thingy..

the house they stayed in was double-storied and freaking air-conditioned lah!!! in the 50s to 60s leh!!! fwahhhhhhh gotta ask my auntie for the old photos and convert them to digital format before they rot any furthur...
wah.. i can imagine the life they had :) and they wanted to shift to a private house when the fortunes took a turn for the worse so sad.. but i cant remember where the new location was..

a sad event was that my late uncle had a nasty fall while ridding the ceiling of rats and stuff..
he fell from the ceiling.. and became a little damaged after that.. had to be in and out of woodbridge and had to be on constant medication to prevent relapses.. a little piece of new old news that i never knew about.. i just remember that he liked to 'cheong' red lights whenever he fetched us back from school :)

hmm and how another uncle was into drugs and stuff, marijuana, MX, etc, haha and how pa tried marijuana and couldnt get high, so he decided not to continue with it.. :) hengggg ah.. and how his friend asked him to try heroin, but he said "you try lah, then i try" and his friend became an addict :( while pa didnt try at all :)

interesting stories, brings a wonderful silently warm feeling :)
decided to put this up so i wont forget them :)
love hearing old stories.. haha laters!! :D

the boring stuff

ok i just booked my accomodation in hk for a few days at ah shan hostel in argyle street, kowloon, like super duper near the shopping spine nathan road. gonna take the airport shuttle for HK$33, and apparently it stops right outside the hostel.

S$51 / night, inclusive of free internet in the room. yippee

the next step is to figure out how to get from kowloon to shatin.. eeks.
taxi's gonna cost a bomb, unless i can getta bus / something.

decided on an epson stylus cx3700 for my printing / scanning needs. if i cant find it then i guess the canon pixma mp1500 is another alternative.

spent so much time researching on hostels the night before that i even dreamt that i was surfing the net sstill doing research! scary man.

just written a list of what to buy over there.. the thing is to decide WHEN to get it. cos i have 3free days, check into campus, another 3 freedays, check into perm. campus hostel, and i think sch starts another 2 days later. so effectively abt a week to get all my supplies.
so if i get ALL what i need in the first few days, it's gonna be a CHORE moving things here and there. sigh. we'll see.

on a sidenote, boys and girls are wired so differently. damn. u can say that's what makes it interesting / annoying. 'the female of the species is more deadly than the male' - holds true to me.. heh..

pictology

random set of ramblings ahead :)
tralala the first photo's a pic of my desktop at the final day of work.. a whole shitload of scans.. warh.. that nearly killed me..

and the little wallpaper on the screen's what i did on sketchup when i was so bored.. muahahaha

next up! shitloads of trash! just after 3 hours of packing my room.. yes that's loads of trash man.. i'm a pack rat.. but the pack rat has decided to be more determined to neaten her room this time..

nya nya nya.. a spastic photo of meself after i had my wisdom teeth taken out.. yes, obviously the right side of my face is swollen and i couldnt really smile cos of the anesthetic.. hoho.. hmm in fact my whole face looks as if the left and right side have been pieced together with photoshop -_- like one is bigger than the other.. sigh..

WARNING!! GORY PICTURE AHEAD. U HAVE BEEN WARNED. LIKE SERIOUSLY WARNED.

tadah!!!! the whole tooth was plucked from my top gum, while the bottom 4 pieces were sawn from my bottom gum.. hohoho.. tis a gory sight.. and so cute.. the top tooth has roots that have been fused together.. *miao*

and when i was super bored, i took pics of the telly.. "who's lookin' at you babe..."

more packing tmr.. and eeks!!! im cooking dinner for norman tmr!! i hope he doesnt feel obliged to say it's nice.. eep!!

miaomiaomiao

eeeyohhh.. so cute.. haha..
happened to chance upon these cats on the internet.. and they're so cute!!!!
totally reminds me of the cat called Puteh at Pulau Aur.. now i know the breed of it :P

Putehhhh~~ haha twas a cute little cat with really overgrown fur.. it was at the jetty one night, when it started wagging its tail like a clock! tick tock tick tock and it's a super act cute cat with really deep blue eyes.. wahhhh every girl there wanted to bring it home :D *miao*
oh btw it's a chinchilla cat..:P

splurgereth

ahhh.. what a lovely day spent with norman dear...
went to tampines mall and century square today.
main aim - get me a pair of oakleys

wahahahha.. and i did!!! :P
heh pls go to capitol optical at tm.. not the one near it. (im not naming it just in case :P)
had mine customised cos the lens that came with the frame was not what i really wanted..
it's a half-jacket in rootbeer, gold iridium lens.. *hurhur*
finally, after 4 years of waiting i finally got mine.. muahaahhahahaha love it heaps

and took frickin long to get it cos some silly shop told me i had to buy an extra lens just to customise it, and referred me to the distributor, who then told me to go back to the shop and follow their directions to customise!!! *rolls eyes*

of course i didnt go back to the silly shop. and norman dear had the smarts to check an online forum.. hohoho :P
it'll be ready in a week.. yay!!!

a little preview of the sunnies.. hoho.. with some photoshop done of course :P

then after the sunnies, we went to ajisen ramen.. had the volcano ramen and he had the spicy ramen with loads of garlic shit.. wahhhh and there was some promo gg on, $10 for a bowl and add 10cents, u get a plate of side dish and a drink.. had baby octopuses and silver fish.. shiok mannn.. we walked ard for a bit, look for presents for both our dads..

then we went for a foot reflexology!!!!!! wah!!! first time man.. but it was goood... $26 for a 40min session at century square. though the therapist looked rather like a perv, but haha! that's prob just friendliness i guess.. :P *miao* luckily i just waxed me legs :P wahhh so shiok.. pain but shiok the asian way i guess. haha

after that it was back to my place while he studied and i surfed the net. then dinner then back to studying. then i know.

norman has the astoundingly incredible ability.

to let off the most toxic fart. -_0""

and he ALWAYS lets it off in my direction. worse of all it lingers for quite a while before the man decides to evacuate and it finally dissipates. earghghghgh.

side note: norm is especially fond of onions and garlic. much more than i do. he can eat a WHOLE cooked garlic clove. and yes, we have long been at this point of our relationship that we fart and burp in front of each other but dont feel ashamed. hurhur.

*fart*

*grin*

Norman!!! >:(

goondu moondu

oh my gosh.. im such a nuthead..
mien!!!!! i only remembered u were gg off this morn this afternoon!!!! even forgot to sms u!!
argh. anyway hope u've had a good flight and no probs at the airport.. :)))

gah...
maybe that's y today's retribution was me getting so pissed and edgy today..
oakleys are killing me man. i've to buy a new lens just to customise my sunnies. bah. considering getting another model. dammit.

no thanks to the people who gave me the wrong info to go to the distributors, and in the end they dont do retail. dammit. and had to take a taxi to sch with norm cos we were gg to be late if we didnt take a cab. dammit.

but i sorta cheered up a bit when i found dante's 3 books at 8.90 each. HA! and les miserables at 4.90. old books, but contents still remains the same right. haha!! *miao* but mr teo's got the dantes now. got no time to read it!

blearrrghhhh. gg off to research on oakleys. ta for now.

awwww

norm's such a sweetie :D
*beams*

heh.. anyways, feel like saying my thanks-you's today..

Norman - :DDDDD for being there for me always, and such a sweetie pie ( ok i shall just tell him straight up and spare u guys from puking and turning to mush)

Ju - complimenting my blog for being entertaining!! haha and the dinner at Ichiban sushi and being there too when i was down and out :)

Mien - for being my bitching and gossip kaki! wahahahahahahahahahha and for being soooOOO LATE hor. and end up not eating -_-""" haha and for forcing me to apply to csya! otherwise i would be sooo unmotivated to work man.. hohooho.. and also being there for me when i was bawling my head off :X

bzzzt. i feel as if im at the grammys, receiving the achievement of the decade or something -_-""

feeling the jitters of going to hk.. being ALONE!! eeks!! and having to do everything myself. i bet it'll be rather fun, just that it's such a totally new experience it's rather freaking me out. doop!

let's see.. do i have pics for u guys today?
uhuh! i remember my comparison btw me and miss chloe dao~
presenting.. my critique...

miss dao, the queen of project runway 2, with a deep turqiouse crown on her head (a lovely gown during the finals was this colour) and me. ahem. with my uglified hair umm.. a year or 2 back.

aside from the smile, high cheekbones, and mebbe hair, there is ABSOLUTELY ZERO! KOSONG! LING DAN! similarities btw her and me! i unfortunately, see that i have a fatter face than her.. :...( i mean. i already have a fat face. and cheeks that look like lumps on my face (o'_'o)

hrmph. but if u guys insist, well.. i guess i can't blame u guys either.. so im back to square 1.

-_0"" that was a pathetic crit.

tralalallalalallalalaaa just bought 'secret garden' hohhoohoho cant wait to read the full version of it.. and not the kiddywink version which left me scared and perplex than ever after reading it.

oh and i realise i forgot to comment about norman's cooking. one word.

ORGASMIC.

hahaa. it was really really really good man.. and i bet siti had a part to play eh? *wink* the beef was really tender, and the portobello mushroom .. wahhh and the really interesting salad he tossed up, though the corn was rather soggy.. haha!! but it was really really lovely, of course cooked with LOVE *beams*.. quick get ur barf bags out. and the intoxicating wine.. hahahaha... yum yum yum.. looking forward to whatever he whips up next! yay!

Wow as you all can see the dinner tonight was indeed a very sumptious one. The menu for today is rib-eye steak with mushroom and black pepper sauce (medium for me and medium to well done for her), Portobello mushroom grilled with cheese, tomatoes, and onions, Corn on the cob, Salad (consisting of lettuce, cranberries, almonds, figs, cashew nuts, pistachios, raisins, tomatoes, baby carrots with a zesty italian dressing. To finish it off we had a nice bottle of 2003 Wynham estate shiraz which was smooth and had a nice sweet after taste. No wonder it is a silver medal award winning wine for the Melbourne wine festival. Moreover it is from the famed hunter valley where good wines are usually produced. This dinner was to celebrate a milestone in our relationship and also act as a form of apology to moomoo for my outburst to her the night before. Actually i wanted to have dinner at black angus steakhouse at one fullerton so tat we could enjoy the fireworks after dinner. Nevertheless i thought tat a meal personally cooked by me would be more sincere and more fulfilling. Moreover, this meal is to sincerly say sorry to moomoo and hope she forgives me. I know i should have empathised with the stress she was going though regarding her exchange stuff, should have known better than to add to it. Anyway all is well again and hopefully it stays that way. Think this shall be my exclusive post and Moomoo can feel in the rest on another.

argh. i feel so fat compared to mr slim 10.
gah. im gg to get a fug-ass hard bod.

i spotted an interesting sight today..
women in office pants. practical, and with a slimming cut, can make women look even more professional.
however.

do

not

ever

wear

them

too

tight.

-_-"""

this lady wore a blouse and tucked it into her pants. ok so the first thing i spotted was her shirt, that showed through her pants. yes that's how tight it was.
next, was her VPL. *ahem* ok lor... VPLs are common what.. but hello??!? i could literally imagine her whole butt right in front of me!

and now for the best bit..

as i walked nearer to her, i could see her cellulite!!!
yes, cellulite through her pants! *faint*
someone help her get a bigger pair of pants please, and save us from the horror the next time she gets her pants out. eeks.

fyi, her pants were a biegey creamy colour, not black... zzzz.
