haha. i had a really nice day today =) even though I cldn't spend it slacking away at home, i derived joy from other stuff today! lemme event blog abt today k!
at abt 10+am I met Siying at Fajar to bring her to my tuition kid's place - i just dropped him. really too freakin busy to continue with him la. So anyway, brought her up, intro-ed them then left her le.. Went to meet yvonne n bettina (HI BINA, YOU STYLEGODDESS YOU. hahaha) at yvonne's place after tt.. We talked business a bit, and chatted a bit too lol. Bettina's yvonne's primary sch classmate.. Yvonne's my pre-u sem friend. Get the link? haha. They're both fantastic ppl to talk to =) How cool it is that i can keep meeting new and lovely ppl still? Rocks la. So HELLO BINA! Hahahaha. After the "meeting" i took cab wit yvonne down to Toa Payoh HDB Hub there.. We discussed makeup to death during the ride lol. We arrived slightly before 12nn then she went for her appointment and I was supposed to go tong's hse.. Haha k at first ytd i asked tong if i could go down to her house to record some songs since I was free, then coz before tt I got tell her n jinglun tt i want him to record the morizhilian so i can put in my Ipod.. So she suggested tt we ask him to her house also.. Then i was like, ask Tai An also la! Then let's mj! Hahaha So tt's how the gathering was set up. And suyee ownself also wanted to go tong's hse to record songs for her friend, so yea. Haha.
So anyways, we were supposed to meet at 1230 (i thought meet at her hse but yuan2 lai2 is meet at the mrt station) so i hung around doing minor window shopping and then went to Popular to read books lol. Anw then met tong and we waited awhile then tai an arrived.. Then we went to have brunch at Ya Kun.. Talked a bit.. OH YAH! On er, Friday, i met Charmaine Loh from SC at the bus stop at my hse! Caught up on stuff abt ex-sc ppl like my darling darling Er Jie shishi! Heh. It was great chatting wit Charmaine =)
Ok then anw after our brunch we met Jinglun at the bus 28 berth then went to tong's hse le!! LOL and on the bus, tong and i were SUPER SUPER HIGH. Coz we were listening to super upbeat music. It was like super crazy, we were trying to groove to the music? Gosh! Then at tong's hse we played MJ for abt 2 hours (but we only completed half a full round!! haha coz lta is a newbie. so had to teach him.) Yours truly was overall winner lol =D but no worries, we don't play with real money=) Ok then we went upstairs to tong's room where jinglun proceeded to record 10 songs. No seriously la.. Think he recorded what, 3 songs? But he was like, chao enthu and brought damn a lot of discs. Ok then anw i tried to record angel but cannot sia. Voice CANNOT COME OUT. FLAT FLAT FLAT. HAha. Oh then suyee arrived at abt 4pm then me tai an n jinglun went downstairs to K a bit while suyee recorded her songs..
Then when they were done n finally came down we played UNO SLAM! And Taitee and Bridge! We had Delifrance croissants for dinner (thanks to tong's dad) and then after tt we ordered in Mac's while watching Campus Superstar! Haha there's no other ppl i'd rather be watching tt show wit than Esprimere ppl coz we all MAKE THE SAME COMMENTS AS THE JUDGES! Esp wit Wei Song and Xu Huan Liang! Hehe. Respect respect. We're getting damn good man!=)
Anyways, cabbed back home yup. Shuang shuang shuang day. I really enjoyed myself playing some good ol' games, getting some singing done.. Hanging wit my friends.. =D Oh yah was supposed to meet Huihua at 1030pm but haha stayed at tong's house till the show finished so cldn't meet her. Sorry babe!!
Btw, I've really gotta plug some sites now. First up: My Secret Closet (http://mysecretcloset.has.it) has a FREAKING NEW SERIES OF COLLECTIONS UP!!! Very very very nice. I especially like the Wednesday one and the Friday and Saturday ones look very promising =) Yayy. GO LOOK AT EM AND BUY B UY B UY lol. I'm like their most special member or sth =D
Next site: Ok i wanna talk abt this first even though i dunno how to get you all to sign up yet. Emcall has been providing me wit free outgoing calls. Heh. Go to www.emcall.net to find out more! Also, check out www.emallempire.com - great platform for those looking to build their shops!!! I know a lotta you out there are thinking of setting up shops - let Emall Empire do it for you la! Got the clientele there already and no need to buy domain or what somemore. Plus, even if you ALREADY have a store, no harm putting your products there to try to sell too right? It's like extra publicity lor! My stuff are gonna be sold there btw, so watch out for it.
Speaking of which the stuff we've got for our collection looks nice =) Don't worry, we'll pick only the best stuff for u all k. And good prices =)
Friends are important. Don't let friendships that you cherish crumble. You will only live to regret it. I should know. So trust me.
闭上眼睛忍住泪别哭泣 // 末日前夕请留在我怀里

tagged and blogging..
haha no i'm not dead...
just been too too too stupendously busy. lots going on.. going out everywhere, doing everything etc. meeting up wit everyone =) it's awesome. But when u have so many things to blog abt that you'll mention about ten friends from different cliques in one day, you know you're really not that interested in blogging..
no seriously. too many friends/ too much going on in ur life can have that kinda effect on you. where every blog entry abt just ONE day can become a ten page essay. sian.
so no event blog! haha. just know tt i've done lots of online shopping again. sian. update you all nx time.
I've been TAGGED by limbor! haha. so here goes (even though I've actually done this before.. rmb liwen's tag? yea but i think it was a diff one so here goes)
RULES OF THE GAME :
- Each player of this game starts off with ten weird things or habits or little known facts about themselves.
- People who get tagged must type in a blog post of their own ten weird things or habit or little known facts as well as state this rule clearly.
- At the end, you must choose six people to be tagged and list their names.- no tag backs allowed
Grr. haha Spoil market leh.. 10 little known facts abt myself. you guys arh.. ok..
1) I'm a super sentimental person.. I'll keep things i don't need/don't want/don't like, just because someone special gave it to me... By "someone special" i mean people like my mom, dad, bro, granma, godma, relatives etc.. And some other special ppl like good friends, *ahem*special guy friends etc.. Haha..
2) Cherlynn ++ stairs | Cherlynn ++ air == accidents happen. I'm an utter klutz la. Oh wait. That's not a little known fact. Everyone knows it. But anw, it's just a weird fact ok. I can literally trip over air. Oh wells. Everyone's a little weird =)
3) I like programming. Javascript, C++, whatever. I just like computer programming and webdesigning, ok? Yea. It's not little known, but I suppose it can be considered weird.
4) I had a stupid TCHS period. It was a period of time where i liked a string of guys from The Chinese High School. Melvin la, the one before melvin la, my ex la... Before my ex also got la... Don't say already. It's super embarassing.
5) I wrote a series of stupid stupid fanfics.. Mostly based on Alec Su and Vicki Zhao etc.. And ppl like tong, mich etc were included in these fics! And I wld throw in BLUE as well, and pair myself up wit Lee Ryan. Wahahaha. So much for reality. Tong and Mich always went crazy for the fics. It was really fun =)
6) Erm.. Weird stuff... Must i keep it within the limits of NOT TMI? Haha. Coz the only things i can think of now involve personal hygiene... Wahahaha. Hmm. How abt, I get pretty uncomfortable watching ppl kiss on tv/in movies. Especially if it goes on for too long. Also, watching sex scenes. This kinda show can only watch with friends or alone. If with ppl I dunno (ie strangers) or my parents or relatives or what, I'll get SUPER uncomfortable and avert my eyes.. Yea..
7) I enjoy writing, but I can never finish a piece of prose. Yea.. I'll write like, chunks but never have I once completed a piece of prose. Only academic essays get completed. The rest, I just lose the drive, even though I know it can be super good if i finish it or what but I just can't. There's a whole pile of unfinished prose in my life's history, from the time I was P4 till now.. Yea.. I rmb my first attempt at a story - some silly story titled Tagebuah, the dunno dunno what girl la. Some girl who was dying of cancer.. Haha. Cool huh. I know. I rock.
8) I like to carry out "social experiments" for the heck of it. Many of you have fallen prey to my tests already.. Like my provocative msn nicks, my silly surveys, a lot of my small/big actions are actually me testing the reactions of the general public of my friends.. Haha. Yea I'm weird like that. =)
9) I suck at maths. No, really, I'm actually quite good at math. Plus-ing and minus-ing things quickly and multiplying and dividing them also v good. But tell me to do sth abt differentiation and normal distribution and vectors, you'll have me writhing in a pool of my own blood and vomit in no time.
10) It may not seem like it, but I'm FOR saving sex for marriage. Yea, torture and all that, but it's my religion la. Before converting i was all OK with sex before marriage. But now.. Haha. I see God's point ok haha. And one more little known thing. I have ABSOLUTE FAITH in God. He alone knows what is right for everyone and He alone will provide =) <3
yeayea you deprived asses.. Here go your ten things.. And since i'm such a kind soul, i'm not gonna make anyone else do them. hah. bye idiots! =)

alright..
woah.
don't feel like blogging coz i was in the process of making myself feel better =)
today was the quarter final round for BAS! I didn't make it through to the next round (TONG DID! =D), and no videos to post! haha sad right, coz LTA only bothered to help tong take. nv take for me. Good lor. Haha. Anw, yup. If you want me to explain/justify why I didn't make it in, I have several thousand reasons for you, but these are all not important. Haha. Excuses excuses. I know why can liao =)
What I really wanted to blog about was what happened after I didn't make it in. This part kinda links to something I wanted to blog abt awhile back... Well anw, after the thingy right, when I was in the cab on my way home, tong msged - "hey.. u go home and have a gd rest k? dun take tis competition too seriously..we all know tat u have a gd voice.. u were just too nervous. try again next time k! :)"
Haha. damn surprising to see something so nice from tong la. It's v rare! Lol. Though I'm kinda suspicious whether the msg really came from her or is someone else help her compose one.. Lol. But really, that was kinda what i needed =) I needed some validation and justification about myself, especially about the singing bit. The last time I wanted to blog about this was because i was getting more and more demoralized abt my singing on the whole. Haha. It's like, when I ask people for comments abt my performances or what right, (by people I mean the ppl who i ASK, typically sitong or tai an etc, ppl who have some experience..?) it's like as if i'm asking them "please pick out all the faults in my singing".
Not that I don't wanna hear the criticisms, but i mean, can there be some balance in the first place? All the feedback I'm getting makes me feel as if I should just shut up and stop singing. It's like, when ppl like val, siying and random strangers compliment me on my singing, i'll feel happy for awhile until like, i get the feedback from the other ppl (whom i ask) and I'll just feel super deflated etc.
Imagine la ok, you ask someone about how you did in a certain presentation or sth. Here are two examples, tell me which one makes u feel better:
A) Hmm i think you spoke too monotonously and it was quite boring for the readers lor. Must sometimes make eye contact.
B) Hmm, I think maybe you can improve on your expression coz sometimes come across a bit monotonous la, then try to make eye contact. But apart from that I think your pronunciation was damn good, and your points all made sense lor =)
Give me I'll choose B lor.
I mean, even when I was teaching in the sec sch and had to do the report book remarks abt my form class right, we had to talk about ONE good thing AND one bad thing lor.
Oh wells. Dunno why my friends think it's not necessary to compliment me. Thank goodness for ppl like ann and val, who'll say nice things. oh and arh ben, haha. Siying also, but usually for aspects like character, singing, etc haha. Ann val and arh ben do the " you look great today" or "you sounded really nice" etc thing.
Anyways, yes. I also know why my friends don't compliment me much.
A) not much to compliment abt
B) I don't respond well
Now, about part B - I really can't respond properly to compliments unless it's abt stuff I'd showed off abt in the first place. Yah. So don't over-compliment me, if you want to. Just a bit will do. But increasing frequency of compliments can definitely help improve my self esteem n confidence. Wahaha. Ok anw
So after the competition ppl came around to hug me etc. Lol. Oh yah, the contestants were fun to mix with =) Ok then anw val and I left first and had a bit of a chat in the cab =) Miss chatting wit ya!!!! Yay movie on Nat'l Day =) Can't wait
Yah so anw, i was really ok at first, coz just kinda relieved that the whole thing is over. To be honest, lol, i was already telling tong about a week before the thingy that I really wanted to just give up, it was so tiring. But anw, yah. Then I was so fucking busy the past week that I didn't have time to think abt anything but work - so no time to stress out abt competition. So this aftnn (thursday aftnn) after we finally finished our COM report in sch and I was making my way home, the stress attack hit me like nobody's business! It's like the stress that had been accumulating the whole week/month hit me like a bulldozer. Gosh.
Anyways, that aside, after val got off the cab, i got tong's msg, then was quite (ok la, VERY) touched lor. Coz tong has not, in at least 2 years, said anything nice about my voice. SERIOUSLY. So i was super shocked. Then was kinda choking up when arh ben called. Then the silly guy kept apologizing (IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT!!!) and being nice and all.. Tell you, I really almost just cried there - if not for the fact tt my fake eyelashes would fall into my eyes, i would have just let the tears fall. Then arh ben decided he was going to start planning a "party" to celebrate the fact that I had gotten that far in the first place. Lol. Thanks ben. I'm looking forward to it! Haha.
So super gan3 dong4.
Special special thanks to:
CAME - really really really appreciate you guys being there! Really. Super gan dong. I'm damn glad that you all were there la. I don't know how else to say this, but it really meant a whole lot to me =) Thanks babes (and des. haha)
MESC - haha. eu&gas and mich&ja turned up. Thanks guys, though i kinda have this feeling it's more for tong. haha
Val - thanks babe. you know i appreciate it =)
Arh Ben - i'm sorry you looked/felt/were so left out! But i'm still so super glad that you turned up and cheered so loudly somemore =) Thanks!!! And really, it wasn't your fault. At least you cheered! =) Thanks man!
Suyee, Tingfeng, Tai An and Jerry - esprimereans who turned up to support - i was really surprised that suyee and tf came down.. Didn't know initially mah. Thanks darlings =)
Siying, Edna, and all others who wanted to but could not come down - thanks anyway =) appreciate it.
Yah well ok i'll go back to my feel-good movie watching again! I'm feeling alright people. I have good friends. *feels loved=)*
<3

Then arh ben decided he was going to start planning a "party" to celebrate the fact that I had gotten that far in the first place. Lol. Thanks ben. I'm looking forward to it! Haha.
So super gan3 dong4.
Special special thanks to:
CAME - really really really appreciate you guys being there! Really. Super gan dong. I'm damn glad that you all were there la. I don't know how else to say this, but it really meant a whole lot to me =) Thanks babes (and des. haha)
MESC - haha. eu&gas and mich&ja turned up. Thanks guys, though i kinda have this feeling it's more for tong. haha
Val - thanks babe. you know i appreciate it =)
Arh Ben - i'm sorry you looked/felt/were so left out! But i'm still so super glad that you turned up and cheered so loudly somemore =) Thanks!!! And really, it wasn't your fault. At least you cheered! =) Thanks man!

desperate times call for desperate measures!
heyyyyyyy.....
GAWD. i'm shuddering just thinking abt the huge amt of event blog i have to do if i do decide to suddenly event blog. I will do it soon! i promise! But there's so much stuff! Anw
Met up wit val ytd and today after our tuition at the same house.. Haha. Was great to chat wit her again though i feel that the time was too short! Would have loved to just sit around and chat for much longer. No matter what, I'm sure opportunities will present themselves again! =)
Movie dates!
Gonna watch The Simpsons Movie wit my cousins =) Hehehe! Am happy abt this! My cousins make a funny bunch to hang with =) I think it'll be our first cuzzy outing! Finally even like the 2nd youngest one is abt Sec 2 liao so we can all go out on our own! And the aunties and uncles trust me to oversee them! Heh. So yep. Ding Han Chen Jon Tim and Wei(i think) and I will be going for the movie =) I'm lookin forward to the outing! I will post pics! =D
Then, Val and I have arranged to watch some new horror flick when it comes out - Alone, i think! Hahaha. DAMN Looking forward to this one!!! Just the thought of an upcoming horror movie gives me the thrills already =) Excited! Heh.
Ok... Hmm recent events include er, going out wit tong&ts to buy the ktvhddcasing, er.. Exco Meetings... Esprimere Orientation.. Gosh a lot more i can't quite rmb! KTV and so on! But mainly been trying to work etc... MGQ Case 3 was very rewarding! I think C.A.M.E did well for Case 3! =) Then MGQ Exam today and COM240 exam ytd.. Grr.. Presentation for COM240 nx wk.. And also MGQ Case 4... Lots of work man =(
I had a private special moment today! =) Won't tell you all here haha.. It kinda borders on hentai (a word i'm using more because of val's increased use of jap terminology!) and I don't wanna freak people out. Suffice to say that on the <3 front, there's a 2-pronged thing going on that i'm not sure I really like. One prong is going ok.. The other prong is a bit disheartening coz of all the vagueness etc. In fact, the other prong is also quite vague.. GRR! Things are so confusing. Sometimes, I regret certain things I've said in the past.. Or certain things i did NOT say. ARGH! So stupid of me. Things would be soooo different now!! Dunno if i'll get the chance to right them.
But I can't have 2 cakes right?! I can only have one cake and then eat it? URGH.
If you don't understand the rant above, don't bother trying to unravel it.
I had lots to blog abt that i forgot abt! Urgh. Anyways darling friends... Those whom know I love em =) Just wanna let y'all know again tt i love y'all =) Some ppl i've left out include: MICH, LIWEN, er, somemore tt I still can't quite rmb. Must try to refresh my memory ok!

friends...
yea yea
it's been uber long
sorry k!
anw, be prepared for a long blog entry. it's stuff that's been couped up in me for quite long..
so first up
my friendster horoscope readings have been super accurate of late. i'm not personally a big fan of horoscopes (sorry suyee and evy) mainly because of my religion and my belief that not everyone born on the same day is gonna have like the same character or same misfortunes befall them etc. I don't know if it works like that, but it sounds altogether woolly to me.. Most of the time, accurate readings are just coincidences in my opinion, and a lot of the times when we read horoscopes, we're just looking for places in our lives to slot the prediction in, so it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy, kinda.
aaanws.. funnily enough the coincidences kept accumulating on my friendster horoscope readings until today's one gave me the impetus to finally get off my arse and blog about what i've wanted to blog abt for vvv long. Here it is:
Yep. So based on this horoscope thing... And based on some stuff from my previous entry, I'm gonna make a proclamation here:
Sure my horoscope thingy said i should just give those ppl a second chance, and perhaps it meant unconditionally, but i will do so for people i feel deserve it. Who deserves it? People whom I feel are sincere. People who know what I value in a friend, and manifest these values.
Here goes: WHAT I VALUE IN A FRIEND
THE MOST IMPORTANT QUALITY: honesty!!
I cannot stress enough just how important this is to me. I want my friends to understand that all I want from them is honesty. I want you to tell me to my face if something i'm doing irritates you. Don't fucking be "afraid" of me or of how I will feel. I assure you I will feel ten times worse or hundred times angrier if i had to hear from other sources. And trust me. Paper cannot wrap fire. (y'know, translate to chinese) I have enough sources to ensure that I hear everything my friends say about me. So trust that whatever you say abt me will eventually get to me. Trust that once you say something abt me behind my back, I will definitely hear it. And when that happens, you're gonna have a very pissed Cherlynn on your hands.
I also understand that you might be afraid of hurting my feelings. But when I turn up looking like a fugly piece of shit, a slutty ass hooker or just like a fat pig, you could simply go "Cherlynn!! Why do u look like shit today!" and I will know immediately that it doesn't sit well with you, but I won't take offence coz i can immediately defend myself. If you decided to say "What the hell is Cherlynn wearing today?" to another friend instead, don't you see that you're denying me the chance to explain my choices? It applies for almost all situations. I'd rather you be direct than tactful.
Being honest with me can also ensure that I don't do whatever it is that irks you again. Or at least, not too many times. Trust me, I may look like i enjoy torturing others, but when a well-intentioned friend tells me something I do makes her upset, I will definitely try to cut down on it. And don't fucking wait until I ASK FOR IT. It makes me damn angry to have to ask about it then hear you suddenly spill out all the shit that you were upset about all of a sudden. It can be super demoralizing.
You also have to be honest with your compliments. When you think i've done something well or right, pls do let me know, if not i'll go around wondering if i ever did the right thing. If you're a close friend of mine you'll know how intense my self-doubt can get. People like val and tong should know. I really really am not the happy confident and secure person i seem to be on the surface. But then again, why should I let the rest of you know that? Argh. Whatever it is, just be honest, ppl.
Friends who have perfected the art of HONESTY: Val and Ann. No secrets. I love you darlings.
The next quality: EQUALITY
It's important to me that my friends see me as at least equal to them, and not beneath them. I.e. if I'm lousier than u in say, fashion sense or figure or what, I may be better than you in i dunno piano or sth. It's just, I need to know that my friends don't despise me, and recently a certain close friend of mine has come very close to making me feel that way. I think she knows who she is la.
I don't need worshippers or supporters or what. I need people who see me as equal. On an intellectual level, at least. I don't care if you think i'm uglier than you, as long as you see that I'm, I dunno, just y'know, not some underling, someone you only deign to talk to.
People who have mastered the art of EQUALITY: Siying, Edna, Val, Ann, Shui. When i can remember more of you i'll update ok.
Next important quality: CONCERN&COMPLIMENT
I think this quality makes me sound like some despo AA shit, but I need my friends to care. To compliment when the time is right. To give me moral support sometimes. I know this contradicts some point i said up there, but it's different. I may be "the strong one" or the one who "takes good care of people around (me)" [i quote LTA] but sometimes I really need a break. Sometimes I really wanna stop being there for my friends and be there for myself instead. I wish I had more friends who could be strong for me, whom I could complain all day long to. But as a lot of you should know by now, most of the time i keep my problems to myself. I'll drop hints but that's about it. I know it makes some of you upset [sorry val] but I dunno why I act like such a saint sometimes. I don't have to. I don't need to.
I need my friends to have this quality so that i can get the self-validation i need to tell myself that i'm not a worthless piece of shit. You'll be surprised how often i need to tell myself that. I'm saying this only coz my blog has had quite some new readers in recent months.. People who might not be as close to me as the older readers are.. So to these people it may seem as though y'know, i'm strong, i'm er, good-natured? But the long-time readers will know how often i lament about stuff.. Y'know.. Haha. Kinda like what i'm doing now..
Anyways.. I dunno if you get the point but yea.
Friends who have achieved the quality of C&C: Val, Arh Ben, Ann, Siying, Rahrah
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yea that was about all the qualities. Now a section dedicated to very special friends
in not particular order:
VAL------------------------
You guys should have noticed that she has achieved roughly almost every quality i find necessary in a good friend. So props to her for that. She is also the one person who understands me best, really able to read what I'm thinking, knowing what i'm truly implying when I say things etc. It's really awesome when I say something and val goes "yah i know you just want us to say you're smart right!?" hahaha. It's really rewarding, and funny and all~
Not to mention that val represents the last vestige of a link to my favourite people in the world awhile back. My NJ Pretties. I love(d) you guys so so so much y'know, because of all our shared internal jokes, all our shared memories, our outings, our fun times, our mugging sessions (that were never really productive) our unity, our camaraderie... I seriously miss them a lot (gawd i need to stop crying). A whole world of shared internal jokes, shared languages was all lost when we lost contact, it's taking me all I can to not let it show how much this hurts me. And val and I see v little of each other nowadays too! And whenever, in conversations nowadays, certain keywords pop up and I'm reminded of another internal joke, I laugh to myself, barely containing my mirth, but I sigh inwardly at the lack of hysteria it should have been had I heard that word with my nj clique.
Y'know, j&v were so important to me that for a very long period of time my ATM card PIN was 522825 - it spells jacval on a keypad.
Whatever it is, thanks val, for your overwhelming concern, your support, love and all. And also the honesty etc. I really really really appreciate all of it. *huggs*
ANN---------------------------
Though I haven't known Ann for very long, this girl has been such a great friend. Siying described Ann as a very giving person, and I have to say, that is a super accurate description that rounds up Ann very nicely. Ann has been a lovely friend to have. She has, for example, told me about what she heard people say abt me and advise me on what to do and what not to do. She never fails to compliment my choice of clothing when she finds it pleasing. She will also mention when certain faux pas we make catch her attention. On top of having fulfilled all my prerequisites for a good friend, she's ultra generous to boot and great to talk to. She used to drive me to my tuition kid's place and we'd sit in the car and chat for what seems like ages before I go for tuition.
I shan't say more because we haven't had a LOOONG history or what, but I truly appreciate this friendship darling. <3
SIYING----------------------------
This babe doesn't have many girlfriends and I feel it's probably coz she's just so freaking all-rounded that it can almost suffocate you if you're the easily jealous sort. Thankfully, I'm used to having that kinda friend so I survive pretty easily around xyz. What I meant was that xyz is just too perfect and attracts guys like bees to honey. Girls will naturally feel threatened and this, I feel, is a large factor contributing to her dismal lack of female friends. Not that she hasn't any.. Just that her male friends vastly outnumber her female friends. The ratio is what, 100guys to 1 girl? Haha. J/k...
Thing is, when you're friends with siying, you don't feel that she's superior or anything. She treats her friends equally and cares for every one of us. She is also super dependable and funny =) Lol. I remember a period of time in sec school when she was my favourite person to hang out with.. We had so much fun embarassing ourselves in school, in public etc. It was awesome. I really appreciate siying's concern for me, listening to my problems, and the fun times we have when we hang out together. Though I feel that i ought to feel inferior to her, oddly enough, I don't feel so, and that is really awesome. She treats her friends with respect, deals out praise where it is due, and she and I both agree that honest friends are hard to come by. Shopping with her is great, and we're so alike sometimes =)
Darling xyz. I'm really looking forward to hongkong =) I know it's just gonna be awesome=D Love LOTS
EDNA--------------------------
Though I ain't very very close to this babe, it's great to hang out and talk with her. Once again, I feel that she cares for me, treats me as a good friend, and is strongly supportive of me. She has sort of learnt how to be honest with me, which rock, imho, and I love it when we get together to talk =) I enjoyed shenzhen a LOT babe. I'm looking forward to endofyear hk wit xyz and you =D LOVELOVE
TONG----------------------------------
Though her name has been GLARINGLY absent from all the lists, I cannot fail to mention how great tong has been as a friend. I think 10 years has proven our friendship to be a strong one, and shamefully, I say, a lot of effort was due on her part. Though i know that she has spoken bad about me behind my back before, like siying said, she feels that "sitong is genuine towards (me)"... Deep in my heart of hearts I know it to be true... I cannot forget that despite all the trouble she has, she'd still go out and help me when I needed it. She has done a lot for me which I am touched by. The reason she was missing from so many lists is well, times are changing i suppose, and she has almost never fulfilled all the criteria i needed in a good friend.
Recently i was very troubled by things she's said and done, and i've dropped some pretty obvious hints on my blog. You'll notice how upfront she's been about it, with her tag "i'm a problematic friend huh?" and all. She was direct about it. When I mentioned my friendster horoscope to her, she said sth like "somehow i got a bad feeling" or sth. Unlike some other people whose names have miraculously dropped out of the list, she had the guts to ask me, because she knows me well enough to understand that all I want is honesty. Ask me about it, I won't shy away from you. I will answer you directly. All i expect is for you to do the same.
Tong - thanks for being a really, really REALLY great friend.
OTHERS--------------------------
I haven't the time and strength at the mo to mention everyone who's important to me and talk about it, but here are the people I really appreciate for their friendship to me:
Arh Ben (i know i keep leaving you out! sorry! but this wolf is so generous with his compliments, so supportive and concerned, you're truly a great friend arh ben<3)
Shui (my darling girl here cares so much for me. I feel truly blessed to have a friend like you dear. Must meetup soon)
Yarndink (again, new friend, but I can feel sincerity oozing out of your pores girl. I'm touched by your efforts to talk and all and also your support and concern. <3)
Many many many others who I am sorry but I can't dig out of my memory at this point! Pls feel free to scold me if your name isn't here!!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On the off-note, congrats to Tong as the new VP of esprimere. I'm not sure to be happy for you or not coz I'm not sure if you're happy being VP or not. Nevertheless, I'm behind you all the way ok!
I have another pet peeve to blog about, but this blog entry has drawn enough blood. I'll talk to you guys soon , i promise! Alrighty ciao!
it's been uber long
sorry k!
anw, be prepared for a long blog entry. it's stuff that's been couped up in me for quite long..
so first up

Friendster Horoscope for July 22, 2007
Scorpio (Oct 23 - Nov 21)[?]
The Bottom Line
If someone lost the respect you had given to them, give them a second chance.
In Detail
Has someone let you down? It happens from time to time, so don't let it ruin a relationship. They made a mistake, they fell short of your expectations, and they may have even lost some of the respect you've given them. It's important for you to let them earn it back -- don't give them a test or a task, but give them a second chance. You might be a bit more wary next time, but you need to keep an open mind. You have been where they are, you know how hard it can be.
Yep. So based on this horoscope thing... And based on some stuff from my previous entry, I'm gonna make a proclamation here:
If your name was left out the last entry, and you feel unjustified, come talk to me
If your name was left out the last entry, and you KNOW you have spoken behind my back abt me before, and still wanna be friends with me, come talk to me, honestly and openly.
If your name was left out the last entry, and you hide behind others or just talk behind my back somemore, asking people if i'm ok, if i'm mad, etc, you know i can never trust you again.
Sure my horoscope thingy said i should just give those ppl a second chance, and perhaps it meant unconditionally, but i will do so for people i feel deserve it. Who deserves it? People whom I feel are sincere. People who know what I value in a friend, and manifest these values.
Here goes: WHAT I VALUE IN A FRIEND

And val and I see v little of each other nowadays too! And whenever, in conversations nowadays, certain keywords pop up and I'm reminded of another internal joke, I laugh to myself, barely containing my mirth, but I sigh inwardly at the lack of hysteria it should have been had I heard that word with my nj clique.
Y'know, j&v were so important to me that for a very long period of time my ATM card PIN was 522825 - it spells jacval on a keypad.
Whatever it is, thanks val, for your overwhelming concern, your support, love and all. And also the honesty etc. I really really really appreciate all of it. *huggs*
ANN---------------------------
Though I haven't known Ann for very long, this girl has been such a great friend. Siying described Ann as a very giving person, and I have to say, that is a super accurate description that rounds up Ann very nicely. Ann has been a lovely friend to have. She has, for example, told me about what she heard people say abt me and advise me on what to do and what not to do. She never fails to compliment my choice of clothing when she finds it pleasing. She will also mention when certain faux pas we make catch her attention. On top of having fulfilled all my prerequisites for a good friend, she's ultra generous to boot and great to talk to. She used to drive me to my tuition kid's place and we'd sit in the car and chat for what seems like ages before I go for tuition.
I shan't say more because we haven't had a LOOONG history or what, but I truly appreciate this friendship darling. <3
SIYING----------------------------
This babe doesn't have many girlfriends and I feel it's probably coz she's just so freaking all-rounded that it can almost suffocate you if you're the easily jealous sort. Thankfully, I'm used to having that kinda friend so I survive pretty easily around xyz. What I meant was that xyz is just too perfect and attracts guys like bees to honey. Girls will naturally feel threatened and this, I feel, is a large factor contributing to her dismal lack of female friends. Not that she hasn't any.. Just that her male friends vastly outnumber her female friends. The ratio is what, 100guys to 1 girl? Haha. J/k...
Thing is, when you're friends with siying, you don't feel that she's superior or anything. She treats her friends equally and cares for every one of us. She is also super dependable and funny =) Lol. I remember a period of time in sec school when she was my favourite person to hang out with.. We had so much fun embarassing ourselves in school, in public etc. It was awesome. I really appreciate siying's concern for me, listening to my problems, and the fun times we have when we hang out together. Though I feel that i ought to feel inferior to her, oddly enough, I don't feel so, and that is really awesome. She treats her friends with respect, deals out praise where it is due, and she and I both agree that honest friends are hard to come by. Shopping with her is great, and we're so alike sometimes =)
Darling xyz. I'm really looking forward to hongkong =) I know it's just gonna be awesome=D Love LOTS
EDNA--------------------------
Though I ain't very very close to this babe, it's great to hang out and talk with her. Once again, I feel that she cares for me, treats me as a good friend, and is strongly supportive of me. She has sort of learnt how to be honest with me, which rock, imho, and I love it when we get together to talk =) I enjoyed shenzhen a LOT babe. I'm looking forward to endofyear hk wit xyz and you =D LOVELOVE
TONG----------------------------------
Though her name has been GLARINGLY absent from all the lists, I cannot fail to mention how great tong has been as a friend. I think 10 years has proven our friendship to be a strong one, and shamefully, I say, a lot of effort was due on her part. Though i know that she has spoken bad about me behind my back before, like siying said, she feels that "sitong is genuine towards (me)"... Deep in my heart of hearts I know it to be true... I cannot forget that despite all the trouble she has, she'd still go out and help me when I needed it. She has done a lot for me which I am touched by. The reason she was missing from so many lists is well, times are changing i suppose, and she has almost never fulfilled all the criteria i needed in a good friend.
Recently i was very troubled by things she's said and done, and i've dropped some pretty obvious hints on my blog. You'll notice how upfront she's been about it, with her tag "i'm a problematic friend huh?" and all. She was direct about it. When I mentioned my friendster horoscope to her, she said sth like "somehow i got a bad feeling" or sth. Unlike some other people whose names have miraculously dropped out of the list, she had the guts to ask me, because she knows me well enough to understand that all I want is honesty. Ask me about it, I won't shy away from you. I will answer you directly. All i expect is for you to do the same.
Tong - thanks for being a really, really REALLY great friend.
OTHERS--------------------------
I haven't the time and strength at the mo to mention everyone who's important to me and talk about it, but here are the people I really appreciate for their friendship to me:
Arh Ben (i know i keep leaving you out! sorry! but this wolf is so generous with his compliments, so supportive and concerned, you're truly a great friend arh ben<3)
Shui (my darling girl here cares so much for me. I feel truly blessed to have a friend like you dear. Must meetup soon)
Yarndink (again, new friend, but I can feel sincerity oozing out of your pores girl. I'm touched by your efforts to talk and all and also your support and concern. <3)
Many many many others who I am sorry but I can't dig out of my memory at this point! Pls feel free to scold me if your name isn't here!!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On the off-note, congrats to Tong as the new VP of esprimere. I'm not sure to be happy for you or not coz I'm not sure if you're happy being VP or not. Nevertheless, I'm behind you all the way ok!
I have another pet peeve to blog about, but this blog entry has drawn enough blood. I'll talk to you guys soon , i promise! Alrighty ciao!

Thanks especially go out to VAL, SIYINGZI, EDNA, ANN, WJ, and some others i might have forgotten for listening to me, hearing me out.. Helped a lot. Thanks! =) <33 So anw. In school now, MGQ 301 lecture. Have i mentioned how much I love the school's wireless? It's like HYPERSPEED. I lurve it. Though I really kinda hate lugging my lappie around and not having my larger hard drive with me. Bleah. My big hard drive has most of my info and docs inside.. My mini (30GB) hard drive only has some la.. Haha. Yea.. Something to show u guys:
Find out your Harry Potter personality at LiquidGeneration!

lol. Yea. Anyways, watched Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix with Suyee ytd.. Haha Free tix! I couldn't turn her down! Free tix for such a hyped-about movie somemore! Haha. So i cancelled some tuitions and came down to Wmall to meet her.. I was early so i did some toiletries shopping and went to the library and borrowed another 4 books. Lol. Yea. Then anw.. The movie was like a SUPER FAST FORWARD version of the book. Fans of the book will be sper disappointed. They also changed quite a bit of the story. The Room of Requirements was found by Neville instead of Dobby, Dolores Umbridge didn't come across as bitchy (not as bitchy as I'd imagined her to be. I actually found the movie version of Dolores quite cute! dammit).. Cho Chang was the snitch instead of her friend. A lot of details were dropped out. The movie was 2 and a half hours long. Yea. Grawp only featured very little. Madame Maxime (i think tt's the name) never appeared at all. McGonagall like, got a total of 5 mins screen time? There was zero quidditch.. The dept of Mysteries part was almost cut in half... We didn't see the Magical Hospital at all (forgot the name).. Tonks also had only like, 5 mins screen time.. The highlight of her screen time was probably changing her hair color and her nose at dinnertime only.
Suitably disappointing eh? ahaha. Ohwells.
Alright gotta pay attention now. Sorta. Will blog more soon ok? I love y'all
PS There's been a reshuffling of LPK. More later.

BeAStar =)
preliminary rounds =) heh. apparently i was the only one during the whole night (30+ contestants tt day, there are abt 13 days in all) who got good comments about the song. watch till the end for their comments!
haha yayy. anw. here's what their comments were (in chinese!):
基本上，我很喜欢你诠释这首歌曲的方式，就是uh, uh,基本上是该有歌曲的内容， uh... 说那个感情那些东西都控制得蛮好的， 而且， 它， 你选对了它这种唱法。 就是后面虽然在高音的时候你有一点， 可能是它延续是不是很长吧， 是不是很难控制， 那个你有一点。。。 你有一点比较，说，不够气。 不过，你拉完了， 我看得到，哦。。这个是很好的事情。。还有就是在肢体语言方面， 你有走动， 我们觉得很好。 只是说，有时也要站定一个地点， 别老是走， 可以吗？
HEHEHEHE. Now an english translation by dictionary.com:
Basically, I like you annotating this first song very much the way, is uh, uh, basically is should have the song content, uh… Said that sentimental these things control very good, moreover, it, you chose right its this kind to sing the law. Is behind, although has a point in treble time you, is possibly it continues is very long, is very rambunctious, that you have a point. . . You have a comparison, said that insufficient gas. However, you pulled, I looked obtain, oh. . This is the very good matter. . Also has is in the body language aspect, you have take a walk, we thought that is very good. Was only said that sometimes must stand firm a place, always do not walk, might?
LOL it's damn hilarious.
Alright here's a translation by moi.
The guy said: Basically I like the way you've interpreted this song. You've conveyed the song's content and adeptly controlled your display of emotion. You've chosen the right singing style for this song. Towards the end of the song though, at the higher notes, you were a little.. maybe because the phrase was very long, it was difficult to control and you were a little out of breath, but you held on to the note for its full count, i saw it, and that is very good. Also, when it came to body language, you did walk around the stage, which we (the judges) feel was very good. Just that you ought to stand still sometimes, not walk around all the time, ok?
LOL. Yep yep. Like THANK GOD. And also one IMPT PERSON! =)
THANK YOU LIM SITONG~~~ RAWR~

HAHAHAHAHA
Funny sia. I love dry humour. Haha. Here's another that i saved from awhile back to share wit u all:
Little Tim's Goldfish
Little Tim was in the garden filling in a hole when his neighbor peered over the fence.
Interested in what the cheeky-faced youngster was up to, he politely asked, "What'cha doing, Tim?"
"My goldfish died," replied the boy tearfully, without looking up. "I've just buried him."
The neighbor was concerned. "That's an awfully big hole for a goldfish, isn't it?"
Tim patted down the last heap of earth, then replied, "That's because he's inside your dumb cat."
LOL. Talk about revenge. HEHE.

How To Please Your I.T. Department
(A quick check list for those who need to make contact.]
1. When you call us to have your computer moved, be sure to leave it buried under half a ton of postcards, baby pictures, stuffed animals, dried flowers, bowling trophies and children's art. We don't have a life, and we find it deeply moving to catch a fleeting glimpse of yours.
2. Don't write anything down. Ever. We can play back the error messages from here.
3. When an I.T. person says he's coming right over, go for coffee. That way you won't be there when we need your password. It's nothing for us to remember 700 screen saver passwords.
4. When you call the help desk, state what you want, not what's keeping you from getting it. We don't need to know that you can't get into your mail because your computer won't power on at all.
5. When I.T. support sends you an E-Mail with high importance, delete it at once. We're just testing.
6. When an I.T. person is eating lunch at his desk, walk right in and spill your guts right out. We exist only to serve.
7. Send urgent email all in uppercase. The mail server picks it up and flags it as a rush delivery.
8. When the photocopier doesn't work, call computer support. There's electronics in it.
9. When you're getting a NO DIAL TONE message at home, call computer support. We can fix your telephone line from here.
10. When you have a dozen old computer screens to get rid of, call computer support. We're collectors.
11. When something's wrong with your home PC, dump it on an I.T. person's chair with no name, no phone number and no description of the problem. We love a puzzle.
12. When an I.T. person tells you that computer screens don't have cartridges in them, argue. We love a good argument.
13. When an I.T. person tells you that he'll be there shortly, reply in a scathing tone of voice: "And just how many weeks do you mean by shortly?" That motivates us.
14. When the printer won't print, re-send the job at least 20 times. Print jobs frequently get sucked into black holes.
15. When the printer still won't print after 20 tries, send the job to all 68 printers in the company. One of them is bound to work.
HAHAHAHAHA
Funny sia. I love dry humour. Haha. Here's another that i saved from awhile back to share wit u all:
Little Tim's Goldfish
Little Tim was in the garden filling in a hole when his neighbor peered over the fence.Interested in what the cheeky-faced youngster was up to, he politely asked, "What'cha doing, Tim?"
"My goldfish died," replied the boy tearfully, without looking up. "I've just buried him."
The neighbor was concerned. "That's an awfully big hole for a goldfish, isn't it?"
Tim patted down the last heap of earth, then replied, "That's because he's inside your dumb cat."
LOL. Talk about revenge. HEHE.
Well, let's continue with the HK blog. Sorry also to VAL who didn't know i went to hK!!! :$:$ Paiseh paiseh. I only told a few ppl! Sch ppl and siying etc!

expect LOADS of photos! HK TRIP DETAILS =)
well. not as many as i used to put up but hey. still! haha.
alright. so on the trip to hongkong i watched Music&Lyrics and utterly LOVED it. Love the various songs inside, including Way Back Into Love, Don't Write Me Off, Love Autopsy etc. Hugh Grant rocks and DREWBARRYMORE sings awesome!!! Gosh! I loved the whole satire of Madonna thing. At least, i THINK it ought to have been madonna. Some ppl on youtube said shakira. Erm ok, was shakira supposed to be strongly religious? Hmmm~ Hahaha ohwells whatever it is, i loved the satire going on - the whole 'shanty shanty" thing. DAMN HELLUVA FUNNY
Alright. Touched down and waited around for a loooong time for all the Win's ppl to assemble and then got ferried off to our hotel. OMG i tell ya. THANK GAWD WE WERE UPGRADED. Like, we were one of the last to be sent to our hotel so we got to see the other hotels first. Saw the Hollywood Hotel in Disneyland - so so.. the facade looked like it was peeling or sth. Old looking! Not very majestic etc. Then saw the Dorsett hotels... And the Holiday Inn.. Oh yah forgot to tell you all our hotel.. We were staying at the Sheraton.. Anw, I thought Holiday Inn would be good but I tell ya, their side entrance looks like shit! Gross. Haha. Anw, we arrived at the Sheraton and i heaved a sigh of relief =) I think hotels are a really important part of your vacation - a good hotel allows you to recharge well and have a good rest etc. And you don't have to dread going back to your icky hotel room every night! I tell ya, the Sheraton was luxurious! Clean rooms, ample space, fantastic furnishings (computer/study table! Gorgeous! Wall mirrors! ironing board! woohoo!), provisions etc Bedtime mints tt were replenished everyday, toiletries that were fantastic, comfy bedroom slippers. Sigh i was in hotel heaven! Haha
Anw yea we went out to Temple St the first night... edna called and we decided to keep in contact via sms and prolly go shenzhen tgt some other day instead coz her boyfriend was bringing her out the next day while my family and i were going shenzhen the next day. so anw yea walked around nathan road and temple street.. bought 2 tops for 80HKD tt's about S$16.. One said "I love nothing" and the other one was just some envelope with a heartshaped seal and wings tt said "love letter". I wanted the one tt said "love is a mental disease" but didn't have my size! Grr.
Nx day we went to shenzhen and kinda walked around. Touring/shopping with my family is a torture coz we all have different styles. My dad wants to recce everything and keep moving. My mom just wants everything to be economical/cheap blah blah. She can bargain for hours just to get something 60C cheaper. My bro irritates me the whole day. So how. what fun do u think i had? Anw, after awhile i loosened up coz my dad went to recce on his own and my mom was trying to be accomodating so I bought a gorgeous harley davidson cap for 55HKD/S$11 (clda bargained cheaper but loved it too much to wanna bargain too long haha), a pair of pumps @ 45HKD/S$9, some hair ties etc. This was all at Luo Hu shopping centre. Our family had dimsum brunch and then after shopping we had an hour of foot reflexology and 2 hours of full body massage/tui1 na2... I had a mani and pedi done too, which included waxing treatment (the mani and pedi cost $60 sing, including the $12 tips to the manicurist and pedicurist).. The massage and foot reflex was good and cheap =) Then we headed off to Dong Men to shop somemore.. Before that we went to Le Yuan to have seafood dinner. The place was disgustingly filthy, but the food was super cheap and good =) Shopped along the streets of Le Yuan for a bit, my mom picked up a really good buy - this very nice collared blouse for JUST S$4!!! Woohoo. Anw, i bought a top for S$10.. Show you guys the purchases later ok! Anw.. Irritations aside, we had a good time more or less. Dongmen shopping was really good and cheap but I was so super tired!
Next day we decided to take a ferry to HK Island and visit Stanley Market coz my momma, our dao3 you2 for the trip said it'd be a good eye-opener.. So we took a (fucking cheap) ferry-ride.. And got super amused. Oh yah! Forgot to mention. At the Shenzhen immigration, i saw so many funny signs! There was a "Police Superising Desk". I was all like, oh so the Police go there to get SUPER?? Hahahahahaha. Damn funny. In case u din know, it was supposed to be the Police SuperVising desk ok! Hahahaha. I have pics to prove it! Then anw, at the ferry station, there was a sign tt said "Beware of a moving gangplank!" WAHAHAHAHAHA I LOL-ED right there and then and went mad snapping pics of the sign! I think the hongkongers there must have thought i was retarded. Haha. Damn funny la! I was like, oh dear, should i expect a gangplank to turn up at any time and move me to tears!? WAHAHAHA. So moving!! LOLOLOLOL
Anw ok we arrived at HK Island.. And I got a freaking culture shock! It was Sunday and all the Filippina maids were like, camping on the streets? I think there were more filippinas on the street than there were hongkongers and tourists added tgt! I think there were more filippinas on those streets than there were Singaporeans in Singapore! I tell ya, I was freaking shocked. I cld hear them screaming, cackling all over the place! It was unnerving, i tell ya. Anw, we figured out how to get to Stanley's market (take 6 or 6A or 260 from the interchange) and took the express service 260 there! TELL YA!!! It was like going to Disneyland for the SpaceMountain ride, without the seatbelts!!! The driver (and I quote the angmoh tourists who were in front of me on the bus) drove like Michael Schumacher. On winding narrow mountain roads! OMG MANNN. I didn't fear for my life - i kinda enjoyed the thrill. Although I didn't appreciate banging my head thrice when I was climbing the stairs to get to the upper deck. DAMMIT! Didn't realize their hangings were so low. GRRR. Everytime we took a bus and climbed to the upper deck, i banged my head. Sigh. Musta lost some precious intelligence there.
Anw. Stanley's Market was kinda like Boat Quay.. Being abrasive ppl, we were getting on each other's nerves and had a sad lunch bought from the supermarket, sitting at the cultural performance amphitheatre there. There was an abundance of cute little free-walking doggies around - my heart was melting la! =) Anw, i loved the chi music performance - brushing up my MEP skills. Haha. I miss hearing the freakin SUONA! Ahh, Music Around The World... When will I get to study you again? Pentatonic scales, interlocking rhythms, interpunctuating layers etc. Sigh.. Frets, soundboards, sliding frets, mallets, plucks, artificial nails, strings made of horse hair.. Ok ok, enough waxing nostalgic. Enough argot. Haha. Anw, from Stanley's my parents bought some stuff, then we went to take the ferry to Hung Hom to visit the Food Plaza thingy for dinner! Only when I entered the building did I recall visiting the place a few years back lol. Wit Godma and family =) Oh btw, this was like, my 4th or 5th time in HK already, but with age comes wisdom and I was actually appreciating being overseas better heh. We found one eating outlet called Toa Payoh and it was selling Southeast Asian cuisine. FUNKY SIA haha
Anw, we had some shao1 la4 dinner, then went to walk around abit, looked at Esprit (HOT HOT HOT CLOTHES=D Lovely guys clothes!) and stuff.. OH BTW! Do you know tt their Giordanos had really reeeeaaally nice guy clothes!? *melts* Sigh. Haha. Too bad la. My boyfriend-for-the-weekend didn't really have the build for those clothes so didn't buy for him *winks*
ok i give up le haha. anw, show you all pics first. tell you all more later. gotta go watch ghost whisperer season 2 premiere wit my mom soon! =)
rah and i @ break! =)

rah and i @ break! =)
On the metro on the way to DongMen!
Arrived at Dongmen! =) Not Lost, just really happy! Hahahah
They knew we were tourists for sure coz we just couldn't stop cam-whoring lol. Apart from when we were shopping, of course.
hee. I look so happy =) Edna took these while I wasn't aware and the stupid wind was BLOOWWING!! Haha
We got some DELISH streetside snacks =) YUMM. Edna couldn't get enough of her squid thing and ordered more. I had the porkchop thing. It was good! (i dun like squid full stop)
After a really long day of shopping, we were making our way back to Luo Hu for some last bits of shopping =)
Still Camwhoring
Camwhoring shots on both the Metro and the KCR - the latter of which we took to get back to Tsim Sha Tsui(TST) in Hong Kong. Heh.
Alright more pics later!!! Gotta go watch tv now. More stories later too! Esp about the Passport and erm.. Crap forgot the other one! ARGH. Practicing CANTO! Haha. Alright later ok!
urgh!
this may or may not be the long exhaustive blog entry i promised previously. depends on whether or not i can finish it in what, ten minutes? hmm. haha. anw, let's see where i last stopped.
alright i stopped on Saturday, where apparently i had a free day to myself! Yea tt day my silly period came, and compounded with diarrhoea, i was a walking pile of shit la ok. So i tried to swop my lector reading duty with other lectors but cld not, so let the first reader do my job for me. Felt bad though. Grr. Anw, slacked off on Sat =) It was a great feeling (cramps aside). Then family came over for gatherin - i brought little yangyang out to the pasar malam near lot one =) Then we took the train to yew tee then took the bus back home =) Silly little boy is growing so fast! Luckily i can still carry him =D
Alright. Sunday. All i have written down on my organizer for this Sunday was "church" and a tick. So yea i guess all I did was go for church and family stuff. Nothing much! Which means i really did have a nice relaxing weekend to recharge i guess! Oh wait. Had to pia project stuff. Got the surveys done for the 202 project - asked my relatives to do them when they were at my place. Yep. And pia-ed other stuff, which I can't rmb. Mainly cca stuff (t-shirt design? website?) and projects (202 and 205. SIANN)
Alright. On to Monday. I went for 3 tuitions - k then s then J... Then cancelled on T, went back home to bathe and change, made it down to Town EARLY for my BAS Audition! Hahaha it was a really interesting experience =) The auditions were really slack though. I think there were hundreds and hundreds of ppl (altogether the auditions were split into 3 days. A total of 400+ contestants this year). Anyways, this audition was slack coz the judges were only weeding out ppl who cldn't sing at all. So if you can carry a tune (i.e. pitching) then you got in. So easy nia. So yea, tong & I got it. I was quite a nervous wreck though! Worried! And went off tune! Estella was my judge (wooohoo!) then after tt i asked her how i did and about my song choice and all and she said tt the song choice did not showcase my vocals to their best and tt it was a shaky performance. Haha. Yea man i was so nervous. We were supposed to intro ourselves and our song and i went in and said "Hi I'm cherlynn, the song i'll be singing is Crazy For You by Madonna. I chose this song because it's a very nice song and Madonna sang it, so it's nice". LIKE HELLO!?!?!?! How much more retarded could i get?!? Hahahahahaha. Anw yea, so i sang tt song. And got through. Haha. It was like, 2 mins? And got through liao?! Waited there for an hour plus for 2 mins to sing and then get through. Haha
So anyways, my second round will be held on the 28th of June at 7pm at International Building Partyworld. Friends are allowed to come down and support as this will be a stage performance!!! So I need SUPPORTERS!!!! So far xyz is comin down, ann also if i'm not wrong. I haven't really confirmed wit ppl yet. I must confirm soon! Hehe. PS: Tong also made it in, and we saw a lot of ppl we knew there. Woohoo. The singing world is damn small man. Anw, a lot of good singers. I'm worried I can't get into finals! Don't even talk abt finals, I'm worried i can't even make it past the second round!!! Grr!
Alright. Tuesday was lessons.. And rehearsal in between lessons. Then 202 meeting for awhile, or was it 205? anw, then after tt went to halo. XYZ was in school to crash! Haha. Alright. Then Wednesday.. Overslept coz I was just too bloody tired and so missed my Lasik Review, cancelled my freaking 4 tuitions for that day and went to school for CCA meeting (and small part of 202 meeting) Sian. Alright. Then Thursday, went for 205 midterms and lesson. Then lunchtime was BREAK! - PERFORMANCE!!! So you guys can see the vids below haha. I zao-xia-ed on Silent All These Years dammit. But I knew it was comin la. Haha. Totally couldn't breathe by then. Alright then 202 was comms project presentation. Then after tt the esprimere ppl went to celebrate at Pizza Hut, the bastards. I sang 4 songs, cancelled tuition for meetings, walked around with the boards, designed the "pamphlets", brought siying to help design stuff, made one of the boards and didn't even get to eat while ppl who did absolutely nothing but turn up and watch got to eat the free food which some other of us slaved for. Life is unfair. FUCKing unfair.
Anyways, I went to drop off assessment books and homework and my various tuition kids' places because I'd been skipping tuition so much and i was going overseas so i dumped off their bunch of homework to make sure they'd do sth constructive during the break and tt their parents don't complain. Yea so after tt i went home to attempt to pack my luggage. And dunno why had to stay online for quite long. Some weird cca stuff or project stuff la. Bleah.
Nx day - flew off to hong kong! YAAAAYYYY~~ I wasn't really looking forward to this holiday coz, as i'd earlier complained about, it screwed up my entire schedule, forcing me to cancel even more tuitions and miss 2 of my lectures, and basically i was being forced to take a break, because if I didn't go, I wouldn't have cancelled my stuff and I'd be working exhaustively. So anw, i was really stressed as I left la, kept thinking about how i was gonna clean up the mess i'd left behind (i'm referring to my schedule) but anw, left and on the plane ride, (we flew Cathay) I started to relax coz there weree just so many freaking good movies on offer! CX Rocks haha. So i had a tough choice between some Stephen Chow comedy, Ghost Rider and Music n Lyrics. I chose M&L eventually and am bloody glad i did =)
alright will continue this update later. expect a plethora of pics =) i'm talking to michdearest now =D So long le. Miss her =D And i've got to go off for tuition. Will blog later!!
Anyways - HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAREST XYZ!!!! (9th time!!) HEE
alright i stopped on Saturday, where apparently i had a free day to myself! Yea tt day my silly period came, and compounded with diarrhoea, i was a walking pile of shit la ok. So i tried to swop my lector reading duty with other lectors but cld not, so let the first reader do my job for me. Felt bad though. Grr. Anw, slacked off on Sat =) It was a great feeling (cramps aside). Then family came over for gatherin - i brought little yangyang out to the pasar malam near lot one =) Then we took the train to yew tee then took the bus back home =) Silly little boy is growing so fast! Luckily i can still carry him =D
Alright. Sunday. All i have written down on my organizer for this Sunday was "church" and a tick. So yea i guess all I did was go for church and family stuff. Nothing much! Which means i really did have a nice relaxing weekend to recharge i guess! Oh wait. Had to pia project stuff. Got the surveys done for the 202 project - asked my relatives to do them when they were at my place. Yep. And pia-ed other stuff, which I can't rmb. Mainly cca stuff (t-shirt design? website?) and projects (202 and 205. SIANN)
Alright. On to Monday. I went for 3 tuitions - k then s then J... Then cancelled on T, went back home to bathe and change, made it down to Town EARLY for my BAS Audition! Hahaha it was a really interesting experience =) The auditions were really slack though. I think there were hundreds and hundreds of ppl (altogether the auditions were split into 3 days. A total of 400+ contestants this year). Anyways, this audition was slack coz the judges were only weeding out ppl who cldn't sing at all. So if you can carry a tune (i.e. pitching) then you got in. So easy nia. So yea, tong & I got it. I was quite a nervous wreck though! Worried! And went off tune! Estella was my judge (wooohoo!) then after tt i asked her how i did and about my song choice and all and she said tt the song choice did not showcase my vocals to their best and tt it was a shaky performance. Haha. Yea man i was so nervous. We were supposed to intro ourselves and our song and i went in and said "Hi I'm cherlynn, the song i'll be singing is Crazy For You by Madonna. I chose this song because it's a very nice song and Madonna sang it, so it's nice". LIKE HELLO!?!?!?! How much more retarded could i get?!? Hahahahahaha. Anw yea, so i sang tt song. And got through. Haha. It was like, 2 mins? And got through liao?! Waited there for an hour plus for 2 mins to sing and then get through. Haha
So anyways, my second round will be held on the 28th of June at 7pm at International Building Partyworld. Friends are allowed to come down and support as this will be a stage performance!!! So I need SUPPORTERS!!!! So far xyz is comin down, ann also if i'm not wrong. I haven't really confirmed wit ppl yet. I must confirm soon! Hehe.

We were supposed to have a nice little reunion-ish dinner wit edna as well but edna cmi so yup. Anw we had dinner at Ya Kun then went to my house and did a lotta bimbotic stuff! Then the 2 ladies helped me get a Pedi done in Barbie Pink! Haha. Just bought tt color from Sasa. Anw yea then they left my house at abt 11+..
Sunday 030607: This is the start of the series of hectic days that left me KO. 11am, went to church, after church went straight down to town to help tong shop for her KL performance things.. WAH KAO FUCKING TIRING. FREAKING FREAKING TIRING. Then at 3+pm we had to rush down to LeeWeiSong for our workshop thingy... Saw Estella. LOL. Damn funny la. Then anw after tt went to buy all the stuff tong needed then i had to rush down to my Godma's house for dinner.. Then my cousin came to stayover at my house and we ended up talking talking talking and playing around wit d comp n piano till abt 230am.. Then I went to my room to PIA 205 assignment. Pia until 330am like tt then give up, went to sleep, woke up at 7am, continued pia-ing 205.. Left house at 830am..

Tuesday 050607: Woke up to feel my hp vibrating under my back. 2 new msgs. Time: 10:27AM KNNBCCB!!! The 2 msgs were frm maddie n ann asking if i was coming for lesson. SIAN! Anw, rushed down to sch, met siying at 1145am, had lunch, went for com 202meeting at 1245pm, COM202 started at 2pm, then after tt went for tuition at 6pm, met Edna at Lot 1 at 715pm, shopped around Lot 1 Popular, then went to the Pasar Malam to get dinner stuff.. Met val there too.. Edna and I went to my house for dinner (we had arranged to meet while seeing Val was coincidental, just in case u are confused).. Edna left my house at 11plus pm.. I went to sleep when I felt my body crashing and i was shivering with fever at abt 2am. I was so utterly shagged.
Wednesday 060607: Cancelled the morning tuition.. Cancelled the late aftnn tuition.. Was feeling damn sick.. Feverish and damn headache-ish. Medicine didn't help. Sian. So went out for the early afternoon tuition. Came home and tried to rest. Ended up sleeping without even bathing first from 730pm to 1130pm like tt.. Woke up, felt damn mucky so went to bathe.. Went downstairs to study for COM205 midterms the nx day and let hair dry in warmer conditions.. Went to sleep at 2am..
Thursday 070607: Was late for morning lecture by about 40mins. Sian. So had to wait for after break to go back in. Have decided that Prof B hates me. HATES me! Haha. Will tell u all all about the network analysis lecture later when I'm feeling less hectic/stressed. Then CAME had a nice leisurely(sorta) lunch where I was suffering from HORRIBLE DIARRHOEA the entire day(i think it was just an aftermath of my sickness the day before) - could only sit still for 20mins before having to rush to toilet tt kind. And the diarrhoea is the wet icky BOMB kind. Sigh. Anw, after tt went for COM205 Midterms - easier than expected but also trickier than expected.. Hopefully will do well ba. After midterms, group gathered to do group progress report. After tt was done i went to talk to Prof B abt sth (will elaborate later!) then went off to meet siying at the KAP bus stop whereupon i hopped onto her bus 171 and we headed for town! We had a nice time talking non-stop, people-watching etc =) And window-shopping coz we were broke ppl lol.
After tt we went to Chinatown area where we were supposed to join her boyfriend and her another friend for Ksession... But we were early so we went to Kster to sing first (at Lucky Chinatown) and SIAN we KNN KENNA CHEATED. Sigh. Broke ppl cannot be too gian.. Haha. Anw then met up with her bf Colin and their friend Weibin then sing sing sing lor. THEN halfway through our good friend TONG called me up to help her buy some last min stuff. SUPER URGENT like tt. So I left the karaoke place around 1030pm to meet tong, we huffed and puffed around Chinatown, managed to get Eunice to loan her $50(funds transfer, ppl!) coz neither she nor I had money. We put that $50 to good use - cabbed down to Val's to borrow the items tong needed. THANKS VAL. Then after tt we cabbed home, dropping me off first then tong. DAMN SIAN. Arrived home then showered and slept. I think.
