Okay. I did it again. Went to take MC cuz i wasnt feeling very well. Doctor was nice enough to give me 2 days. Alright. Its about time i start catchin up on my sleep.

Mambo last night to get together before jiahao gets posted out. jiahao. lawrence. jianlong. dyne.

Clubbing was seriously high. Phuture. Mambo. Phuture. Mambo. Phuture. Mambo. It was so high i could hardly catch my breath. totally enjoyed myself. saw geri alex derek matthew john and elaine. Everybody seem to be enjoying themselves to the fullest. We were dancing close to this group of 3 girls when jiahao pointed out one of them to me. she was seriously sweet. no wonder jiahao was getting all crazy. haha. but he wasnt his usual self tho. normally he would jus walk up and say hi. but he was should i say 'off form' for the day. haha. totally funny. he was regretting and all after that. haha.
and there was this 3 guys who tot i wanted to snatch a girl away from them. haha. totally stupid. i suppose the girl was dancing facing me bcuz she didnt wanna be facing the bouncer. haha. totally makes sense. then this 3 guys cut across me. one stood right in front of me and started shaking his ass. which was like totally gross. i heard the other two mumbling to the girl sth like introducing themselves and telling the girl that she shud stay with them or else pple will take advantage of her. onli for the girl to walk away straight in front of their faces. haha. totally embarrassing la. if i were them. i'll jus leave zouk straight away. haha.
it could have been more fun. but frens wanted to leave early. and also cuz eric flew our aeroplane. so left at 1.30. wanted supper. but dyne and jianlong were like dying. so dropped the idea. jiahao was nice enuff to send me and all of us back. thanks bro.

oh yes. my cute cousin chloe is on the newspaper. haha. one of the few selected to be on the child care centre's advertisement. she is so cute omg! haha.

tired. time to catch some sleep! difficult tho. i'm having too many ear worms!

my life. im loving it! =)

Tuesday Night - Picked Joshua and went cine. caught install. haha. seriously a stupid show. until now i reali duno wad the show was trying to illustrate. pure internet sex chat. done by a 17yr old girl and 10yr old boy. gawd. but the actress was pretty cute tho. haha. dun ask me why i caught the show. i had free tix. haha.
After movie. Met jiahao and lawrence at the usual tau hwey place. had a good laugh at this 3 girls who spent 15min parking into a lot which was say about the size of 3 parking lots? haha. i duno how they managed it but they did it. haha. stayed till abt 12 before the aunty shooed us off cuz they were closing.
went killiney's place to chill instead. oh yes. me and my fren's car almost got smashed by a huge tree trunk that fell. goodness. it fell right on the car in between the two of us. poor guy. i guess his windscreen was somewhat shattered by the impact. thankfully it wasnt mine. or else i reali wouldnt know wad to do. haha. it was nice chilling out. tonnes of crapping and bitching. totally crazy and had plenty of good laughs. crapping abt cars. girls. frens. and bitching abt officers. haha. company was reali fantastic. had a great time.
oyah. and not forgetting wad joshua told us. haha. his dad issued a formal letter regardin usage of the family car and usage of hp to him and his sister. haha. it was reali quite hilarious.

Wednesday - woke up late cuz i hafta go khatib to pick pple up with dyne and lawrence. the new sergeants were quite funny. cuz we couldnt indent an army vehicle to fetch them. we had to use our own cars. they said they expected a tonner or a rover at least. so to find themselves riding in a merc and vios wasnt the exact thing they had on their mind. they went sth like this when they saw the cars. 'woah. we didnt know tonners look like this nowadays.' haha.
Went airport at night again. haha. philip was asking me the other day why i always seem to be going to the airport. got meh? i've went onli like 3 times this year. haha. anywae. went airport to pick my dad. i almost crashed into a cab on the way there. it wasnt my fault. i was goin in my own lane when he filtered into my lane when i was going at 95. great. he didnt signal. didnt turned to look. and jus filtered straight in. i slammed the honk and jammed the brakes and luckily i missed him by a whisker. CityCab SHA9797. i'll never forget the taxi number. i feel so tempted to make a complaint abt him. argh. i am seriously hating taxi drivers more and more.

Thursday - kena arrowed in camp to do NDP stuff. my S1 is in charge of Media Publicity. so i was arrowed by my officer to help. S1 lent me his Apple Macintosh laptop for the whole day cuz i had to help him with the powerpoint slides he hafta present. i swear Macintosh is damn un-user-friendly la. i had a tough time jus figuring out where the closing window button was. haha. anyway. i finished the slides before lunch. S1 went out for lunch and he said we could use his wireless connection to surf the net. haha. instead we went to explore his laptop. found videos of cars and we all started watching for the entire lunch time. haha. it's damn cool to have a S1 who shares the same interest as us. haha. and he's damn funny la. after lunch. he keeps showing me clips of MTVs and advertisements in his laptop. then after that he went like 'eh. so paisei leh. u doing work i keep disturbing u.' haha. he's super funny la. cant stand it. haha.
Evening went Pasir ris and Tampines for house recce with dyne. it was fun. haha. i tink he's seriously becoming more and more like my officer these days. haha. but he hates my officer to the core. so everytime i mentioned that he's becoming like him. he'll get damn fed up and sae he can be anything and everythin except becoming like my officer. haha. hilarious.

Friday Night - Had Sri Lanka Crabs for dinner with Jianlong Lawrence Geraldine and Jiahao at amk. the crabs were pretty good i must sae. and price was alrite la. abt 20 bucks per person including beer. so it was pretty worth it. Mark Lee was eating crabs with his wife too. haha. created a lot of commotion the moment he arrived. he's reali quite an ah beng. haha. with his hair. dress sense. and smoking. haha. totally resemble one. had a great dinner. crapped alot as usual. and had super alot of laughs.
After dinner. went selegie to play pool. Lawrence didnt wanna drive. so i drove his car instead. i reali forgot i had 3 mugs of beer until now. thankfully there wasnt any tp. or else we were all so gonna die. haha. So there i went in his vios and tried chasing jiahao's subaru wrx. haha. i managed to overtake him cuz of the heavy traffic. haha. fun. went 140 at a stage and i tink the car was reaching its top speed. haha. had a nice time chilling at the pool place. was pretty crowded so we had to wait. we played cards and talked at the small bar while waiting. we waited for an hour before we actually had a table thanks to alex who helped us. if not we would have waited for even longer. played till abt 12.30.
i told myself after hitting 140 on the vios that i wouldnt do it again. but i did another crazy thing again. haha. jiahao offered to send me home. so i had wrx to drive. haha. the car is seriously damn scary. esp the 3rd gear. god. it was totally insane. hit 160. and my whole body was shaking already. haha. okae. i seriously promise i wun do it again. haha. anywae. he almost got into an accident on his way back home thanks to this two guys who were racing without their headlights on. he called me and told me everythin. it was reali kinda scary. but thankfully he's alrite.

been a crazy week. had loads of fun. and tonnes of laughter too. everyone seemed to be on their highest this week. which was simply great. haha.

cant believe im actually missing someone so badly. this is reali bad.

oh yes. and a belated happy birthday shoutout to Veron! Happy 20th Birthday sista! =)

went to camp. felt good. had loads of fun. tho had much work to do. it still felt good. chief clerk bought us breakfast todae. how nice of her. she specially bought porridge for me cuz i wasnt feeling very well. so even nicer of her. two of my colleague's birthdays are on thursday and friday. so we celebrated for them todae. so we left camp before lunch time to get the cake at junction 8. feels good to drive. u get time off from camp. so its definitely good. so as i was sayin. went j8. chose the cake. mango cake. and it was reali good. but we didnt wanna go back so early. so we sorta went shopping. haha. kinda off to shop in uniform. but nvm la. i bought two nike friendship bands. black and white. frens didnt buy anythin tho. we walked around somemore. then we bought kfc for lunch. collected the cake. and went back camp.

it was fun celebrating my frens' bday. haha. they look super funny in the photos tho. cuz one is 1.64m tall. and the other is 1.90++ or sth. haha. super funny image. but the best part was when my officer put mango cream on my fren's face. haha. it was super gross. seriously gross. but it was fun! haha. at least it was to me cuz i wasnt at the receiving end of any. after camp. gave my mum a lift home. had an enjoyable day in camp. jus wished everyday was liddat. time would definitely pass faster.

after picking her up from the airport. went for early supper. @ 85. eighty-five. ba shi wu. haha. nice place to chill. good food. good atmosphere. good company. mum told me and my sis all the funny things that happened from her trip. it reali seems like it was a hell lot of fun. interesting how a group of uncles and aunties can get all so crazy at their age eh? haha. but its definitely nice tho. i wish i could be like them when i reach their age. cuz thats wad life is all abt. gotta enjoy it to the fullest.

my mum told me one of the riddle that an uncle in her tour group cracked during the trip. haha. i was laughin my head off in the car. its pretty obscene. but super funny tho. haha. so pls pardon me. it goes sth like this.

Friday, April 08, 2005

Thursday, April 07, 2005

didnt slp last night. feeling lethargic. but thankfully my eye's gettin better.

i did it. went thru one night of eye dripping without sleeping. amazed i could still be awake till now. gave sis a lift to mrt early in the morning. then came home to change and left for my appointment at 10 at NUH. todae was better tho. a hell lot better. i had a young pretty gorgeous doctor to attend to me todae. haha. that made the pain disappear somehow. haha. but i must sae she's reali good. after she attended to me. my eye reali didnt hurt anymore. pretty amazing i must sae. and her name's pretty sweet too. Ann Marie. =) but i tink she's trying to kill me somehow. she gave me a new bottle of eye drop and she told me its a potentially dangerous substance. SO SHE EXPECTS ME TO DRIP IT IN MY EYE?!?! goodness. haha. but thankfully its helping to soothe my eye. so she's not that evil after all.

have another appointment tml at 10. but Doctor Ann Marie aint gonna be around. =( sigh. and all the petrol fees and parking fees are taking its toll on me. going broke soon. luckily my consultation charges are fully paid by SAF. -phew-

and yes. i found out sth too. Doctor Ann Marie's my cousin's neighbour! haha. =) haha. im sorry guys. my eye's driving me crazy. i seriously need my parents around. sigh.

anywae. left nuh and picked fiona up from sch. she's damn good la. didnt wanna go for chinese lesson so she decided to skip it. haha. goodness. but it reminds me of my jc days too. haha. so we left for town and met manfred for lunch. fred went for his dental first. and we had nydc for lunch. maybe it was just me. but the food were pretty much tasteless. ha. after lunch we left for marina south. and man. its been such a long time since i went there. and going into victors reminded me of my secondary sch days. it used to be like a home to me. how things have changed over the years. made me wanna start bowling again. alright. shall start soon.

and manfred drove my car todae. yes. without a licence. haha. but its okae. cuz i did it before too. haha. owell.

fiona had training so me and fred left to play pool at selegie. we played till ard 6.20 when fred suddenly told me he has driving lesson at 6.55 at yck. great. he reali duno how to sae earlier. so we left. and i was racing tryin to get him there on time. but how nice. the first thing i saw when we got back to the car. a letter of warning saying that i parked illegally outside NAFA. haha. scared the shit outta me. i tot it was a summon. but thankfully it was jus a letter of warning. haha. cool. there's always a first time for everything. haha. anywae. managed to get fred there at 7. so wasnt that bad. tink he shud still be driving now. haha.

so here i am at home. alone again. parents called back last night. but didnt tell them i went hospital. didnt wanna make them worried. wan them to enjoy as much as they can.
my eye is definitely feeling alot better now. at least i can see things clearly. and it doesnt hurt anymore. and doctor gave me the green light to put eye drops every 3 hours now. so finally some slp for me. but still. it feels terrible without having anyone to take care of u. sigh.

Wednesday, April 06, 2005

sigh..it has been a crazy day of waiting and pain..

felt a stinging pain ydae afternoon in my left eye. tot it was the usual case. lack of slp and contacts were irritating my eye again. woke up this morning. and i cant even open my left eye. needed help. but no one was at home. sigh. got myself up. rinse my left eye with eye mo. water. tried dripping eye drops too. but it didnt help. decided not to go to camp and went to polyclinic instead. was amazed how i was actually able to drive with only one eye. yah. waited for an hour before i saw the doc. he told me there's sth wrong with my left cornea. he doesnt know how to deal with it. so he referred me to A&E at NUH cuz he said its very serious. okae. started to panic.

drove all the way to NUH with onli one eye again. dangerous. but no choice. reached there. gave my referral letter and they warded me in the hospital. my goodness. havent slept on a hospital bed for ages. not since i was 7 or sth. waited for hours again. left eye jus wouldnt stop hurting. and the doctors jus wouldnt come. waited 2 hours before a doc finally came. and after 1 minute of examining he left. nurse tell me to wait for another hour before there's a free slot for appointment with the eye specialist. so there i went lookin for food. but being alone in a crowded food court isnt the best thing to ask for. decided not to eat. skipped breakfast. skipped lunch. went back to my restin area. and prayed hard for time to pass.

finally it was 2 and i saw the eye specialist. but i was totally freaked out by the guy who was with me. he had bandages on his right eye and his arms and hands. and there was like blood all over his pants. pretty horrible sight. everytime i looked at him it seems to me that his eye dropped out or sth. eeewww. it didnt help to make me feel any better. waited for my turn and saw the doc finally. i was diagnosed with cornea ulcer. he said its very serious. and that i need to be warded for the night. he extracted part of my cornea for experiment. pretty painful. tried askin him again if i reali had to stay in hospital for the night. he said i could go home. but i hafta promise i can take care of myself. so here i am at home. but its gonna be a long night. cant figure a way i can slp when i hafta drip antibiotics into my left eye every half an hour for the next one week. i duno how im gonna survive. and it sucks that no one is around to take care of me. sigh. life sucks. but thankfully i have MC for the next 4 days. jus hope my eye will get well soon. the last thing i wan is an eye op now. sigh.

had to wait again to collect my medicine. thankfully my cousin came down to accompany me. she's working in the childrens' ward upstairs. and she happened to be free. thanks to her if not i would have been bored to death waiting for another hour for my medicine. i seriously tink spore hospitals are super inefficient. cant they jus do sth abt the waiting time?! goodness.

speaking of happier things. watched ray on saturday. inspirational movie. and nice songs to go along. its the kind of movies which makes pple think alot. well. at least it made me tink alot.

met kim on sundae night after her work. watch spanglish. haha. stupid show. funny tho. but somehow the women inside the show were all pretty attractive. went for supper after the movie at fishermen's village but the weather wasnt exactly kind. was raining so we kinda got a little drenched. had a nice supper tho with good company. enjoyable. definitely lifted my spirits up. =) we watched lemony snicket's last night too. like finally. after so long. haha. tho my eye was hurting real bad last night. the good company made it alot more bearable than it could have been. =) thanks girl for sparing the time. reali appreciate it. hugss. =)

having another appointment tml at 10 at NUH. sigh. hope it isnt another cornea extractin session again. i had enough of pain suffered lately. its reali enough. sigh. home alone in an empty house isnt helpin much either. sigh. jus wished there was somebody around.

Saturday, April 02, 2005

man..it was a eventful day ydae! =)

ya..like i said before..i had ydae off for being filial. my sis had to work so it was only me sending my parents off at the airport. woke up reali early which explained why i was practically half dead for the first half of the day. mum and dad said lots of things to me in the car. made me tink alot. makes me realise that im no longer a kid and that its almost time that im on my own out there. it was a nice feeling seeing my parents gettin excited abt going overseas and enjoying themselves. havent seen them in such spirits for a while now. but it wasnt exactly the nicest feeling when i waved them goodbye at the check in pt. within the space of minutes or even seconds i swore my heart somehow fell to a new low. suddenly it seems im all on my own somehow.

but thankfully the day turned for the better. went home and run some errands before going out to meet daphne and june at queensway. thanks daphne for those parking coupons you 'took' from ya dad! haha..had to park at alexander's village cuz the queensway car park was kinda small. but it was rather stupid cuz i made two rounds in the car park jus to find a parking lot. yah. so i kinda took maybe half an hour? haha. jus in time to meet them coming from ikea tho. daphne's got a new belt with her name on the buckle! reali cool. felt hungry so went to macs. i ate and heard the two of them talking abt their funny test they did in the morning. haha. pretty amusing i must sae. haha.

oh yes. it was april fool's. it was early afternoon. and i saw samantha! haha. it was exactly last yr at that very day and time that i first saw her. and with daphne too. reali coincidental. i tink its miraculous somehow. haha.

window shopped a little bit more before going to NUS to pick liang and harnie up. been almost a year since i stepped into that place. haha. maybe it was jus me. but it kinda made me tink twice abt going there. no offence guys. it jus didnt feel homely to me. haha. i still prefer SMU. but then again. i do change. so we'll see. haha.

left for town after that and it was shopping again. haha. and yes. we were at the roxy shop when i felt a sharp jab into my side. haha. frankly speaking. i really couldnt see who it was at first. haha. until i tilted my head downwards and i saw my beloved rachel! wad a surprise. haha. she jus started work there on thursdae. didnt know abt it. so it was reali a pleasant surprise. =)

somemore shopping and we had dinner at ding tai feng. 2nd time there. but i definitely prefer crystal jade. had a nice dinner. had tonnes of good laughs. and had at least 20 cups of chinese tea. haha. i must sae the service is not bad that each time u take a small sip off your cup. they refill it to the fullest almost instantly. amazing. haha. was discussing abt the thailand trip too. shopping is a must. so is massage and spa. and definitely seeing 'shows'. haha.

after dinner. further more shopping. haha. absolutely crazy. saw jacelyn after godzillion years. went heeren. daphne bought her jeans for her birthday present. and harnie finally found a nice pouch/wallet. more laughs and more laughs. reali enjoyed their company the entire day. definitely lifted my spirits up after the disastrous morning. and rachel finally returned my call when we were leaving town. so sorry guys i didnt give a lift to any of u back home. esp philip. if i was heading home i would definitely have sent u guys home. so sorry k.

rachel finished work. so i waited for her to clear up before she could leave. waited for her at taka and saw tonnes of models. haha. reali treated my eyes to a good feast ydae. models came in all shapes and sizes. haha. there are those whom are practically flawless. they are tall. they are pretty. they have nice complexion. and they have stunning figures. goodness. and on the other side. there's those who reali cant make it. haha. i can easily pick someone off the street whose better looking than them definitely. and i saw this two guys carrying girls' bags and sharing ear phones listening to their ipod. was lookin around when my eyes came into contact with one of the guys and he gave me an EVIL GRIN and a DISGUSTING WINK. goodness. i was so scared i wanted to leave straight away. haha. walked away and took a look outside and saw the jam. so i called rachel to wait for me at wisma instead. the taka car park was totally jammed that i was stucked on the spiralling slope upwards for practically half an hour. craziness. lucky i wasnt driving a manual car. thankfully. haha.

picked rachel and we went rochor for tau hwey. it was definitely my first time seeing the place so packed. the queue went all the way to the road. but it was life in singapore for u. haha. found a table and had good tau hwey. satisfied. did some catching up cuz we havent saw each other for almost 2 months and somehow it did feel like ages. haha. more laughs and more laughs again. left rochor after having tau hwey. didnt know where else to go. so sent her back home.

was reaching pasir ris when she said she didnt wanna go home so early and that she had a craving for satay. so we stopped by fishermen's village for supper. haha. i love this kinda impromptu stuff. haha. havent went pasir ris park for ages. and the place has definitely changed. we had a fantastic seat by the seaside. and with only a single candle lighting up each table it was reali lovely. =) great company. great view. nice ambience. nice feeling. it was simply great. and they have pretty young waitresses too. rachel said. haha. had sting ray and satay and the food was reali good i must say. havent had such nice sting ray and satay for some time now. had more fun laughin at each other. haha. tonnes and tonnes of more laughs. i guess u could sae my spirits sorta hit a new high after all the great companies and good time i had the entire day. definitely makes me feel so much better now. =) had a nice long walk along the sea before heading back to the car. time was practically endless ydae. i was rather amazed i managed to do so much things. and meeting pple. my afternoon evening and night ydae was simply perfect. =) and its definitely no april fool's joke k. haha.

parents arrived safe and sound in china. feeling relieved. =) its a saturday and im home. hoping that the empty house doesnt take away my high spirits jus yet. let me enjoy them. =)
