today... i wasted many precious hrs of my life away waiting for irresponsible ppl.. (i shall stop thinking abt it lest i get myself infuriated again)

anyways, i added the archives on my blog! (juz for yeling.. heh. never realized tt my blog was so pok that there weren't an 'archive') and i was such an IT idiot that it took me more than half an hr to figure out how to add the stupid archive in.. so yeling, u shld be honoured! =)

super tired after sitting thru (when i say sit.. i reli mean sit) 3 whole hrs of non stop ind chem proj presentations! such a waste of time.. nobody's reli listening or registering anything anyway.. thurs will be my turn to go up there and babble my stuff.. =P sigh.

the more i dun stay in hall.. the more i dread gg back hall to stay.. so decided to come home today again.. back to my welcoming bed and aircon! =)
and coz i was so tired that my brain's totally unproductive.. i decided to go get some brain food instead=P

cafe cartel's becoming one of our favourite hangouts coz there's no service charge and coz the serving's big enough to feed 2 pigs =)
this is MINE!!st louis pork ribs.. i ate it all up!


and this.. my favourite new dessert stall from can 2. wat a surprise huh..can 2 can actually have such a gem like this.. so pretty, scrumpi-li-cious and addictive=)


design proj tmr again.. and the day after tmr... and the daySSS after that. sigh. sigh. sigh. miffu's gg cairo again! so lucky. fly fly fly. i so can't wait for 8th may 5pm to arrive. then i'll burn up my fyp poster =)


~gone in a moment..

happy bday ah mae!
12:05 AM

design proj's destroying everyone's life.. not to mention eyes, neck and back as well from staring at the comp for super prolonged period of time..

this whole proj made me even more convinced tt i'm definitely not suited for a deskbound job.. i need to get out and about! surely anything beats planting ur ass in front of the comp(and watching it grow big),simulating HYSYS (or Safer Trace for that matter) day in day out. sigh =( why do i keep thinking tt i'm in the wrong course?! gotta stop sulking and at least get myself psyched up enough to pull through these last 2 wks..

in 2 wks, i'll be done with the stupid design proj, done with 2 useless ridiculous final exam papers of my entire school life.. and in a mth's time.. i'll be able to delete all my freaking fyp files and GRADUATE!

yeh.. i so need to cope with all these design shit and certain irritating ppl now.

wat do u do when u see certain ppl tt u reli wanna strangle but yet u can't coz of obvious reasons?
.
.
grit ur teeth, restrain ur hands and force urself to SMILE la. (wat were u expecting??)
oh yay. wat a hypocritical world.

anyways.. here're some of ah mae's bday celebration pics! (Courtesy of noo and her toy camera.heh)

at our garden..while wtg for dinner to commence..

the ladies!

ladies + daddy =)

and here's everybody!

humongous and super heavy bday cake courtesy of miffu (miff's always the one buying and sponsoring bday cakes for everybody =>).. anyways, oint and i ate up the remnants today (which is alot..) coz i was stuck at home doing design proj (yeh wat else) and was too bored..
.
.
tmr's monday.. =(
and all the shitty stuff starts again...

12:59 AM

the happy birthday gal..

yep.. enjoyed ourselves yest.. HAPPy biRTHDay dearie! =) may i celebrate many more birthdays with u in the years to come!
.
.
went for biobiz today.. i had to wake up at 6plus am!! again! bleah. i'm like so so sleep deprived tt my eye rings are becoming a permanent fixture.. =( sigh. and biobiz was just.. talks talks talks and questions and answers..and then there was the fantastic morning tea and lunch + dessert sponsored by the pharma companies.. so basically the real highlight thru'out the entire thing was the food la. =P wat's new.

had catered buffet dinner at my house today for ah mae's bday =)the relatives came of coz.. some rather irksome and wayang ppl.. oh well.. juz glad tt their kids didnt take after them. anyways, think ah mae was reli happy.. so guess it's worthwhile ba.

it juz suddenly dawned on me that i'm reli blessed with great parents.. parents who arent overly stingy and miserly and biased. parents who care for daughters and not for 'wild boars'. so love them =)

and yeh.. i juz made a startling(ok maybe not tt startling) realization that i have been having nothing but buffets for 2 whole days! quite a scary thot reli.. think its reli due time i start eating healthier stuff..(like rabbit food =P) and cleanse my rubbish-clogged colon! they are so overworked..

12:11 AM

been camping in sch comp lab till midnite the past 3 days.. so crazy.. exams are nearing and everyone's busy rushing design project.. and there's juz so much to be done!! never ending reli.. overheard one of my sch mates saying that scbe is the school that never sleeps.. so true..11plus pm at nite at the comp lab is still 3/4 filled! and u arrive at 9am in the morn and all the computers're taken.. the poor final yr ppl (yeh.. me included) are practically glued to the comp screen running hysys and calculating stupid diameters and thickness and stability tests for crappy distillation columns tt probably will never work in real life. so why are we still calculating them??!!

anyways..to reward my poor overworked brain from all tt pointless calculations, we had a nice big yummy dinner today!! =) was super tired from lack of sleep but the lure of gd food to fill my tummy was juz too strong.. =P
we went vivo's sushi tei! i hereby declare that i love the place =) and we had a window seat with a great view of sentosa.. cable car and our lovely merlion.. and of coz.. how can i forget the sunset..
here's our all time favourite.. sashimi salad!!

cold cha soba..

sushi platter!

yup.. and dessert was at hagen daz coz i had a 10bucks voucher to spare.. small puny brownie and ice cream for 20bucks but so worth every cent.. demolished every morsel =)


yup.. mtg pk to celebrate her bday tmr at carousel! another day of pigging..

side track abit.. i'm reli so sick and tired of sch.. design proj and fyp and stupid proj presentation.. and oh how can i forget my FINAL two exam papers before i grad.. and then it'll be end of my schooling years.. in like 3wks time..

time waits for no man (or no woman as well for tt matter)..
uni life's supposed to be the most fun part of ur life..
and yet looking back.. all i remember abt uni is projects.. exams.. deadlines.. and distillation columns.
yeh.. it reli is fun.

durian fiesta!
10:17 PM

ok.. i'm a gonner.. today's yet another guilty sinful day. but no excuse this time.. i weren't upset or anything (thankfully), juz being a glutton reli..

anyways, fatness and guilt aside, these are reli reli great stuff!

thick fat fries with cheese and wasabi mayo..

waffles+ ice cream + blueberry + whipped cream from waffle town..cheap and good!

and finally.. durian-stuffed dessert from Goodwood Park Hotel!!

there's the durian-pandan-coconut flakes cake, durian oreo mousse (damn gd!!), durian chocolate cupcake, durian puff and durian crumble pie. woah.. wat a mouthful to even name them all.

anyway.. i ate more than half of each item.. and no.. i werent famished or wat. rather, we had to devour them all in like less than 20mins coz we weren't heading home yet and the air-conditioning in haoz's car is emitting HOT air. so we kind of ended up dining DURIANS al fresco in his car. if u understand wat i mean.. oh yay. so if dun finish them all they'll taste more like blue cheese by the time we get back to the car la. so yeh.. durian buffet. =P

too much of a good stuff becomes horrifying.. same goes for durians! think i haf developed durian phobia already.

ok.. i feel a major sore throat coming..

wat do u do when u're upset.
wallow in self pity,
lock urself up and bawl ur eyes out,
or go binge-ing on happy food.

i chose the last option.=P (i can see tt u're not very surprised)
which is supposedly not very advisable since i havent exercised in eons.

but eating happy food reli does wonders to the soul.
i had loads of fries.
fries with cheese and fries with wasabi mayo.
and i had icecream! fries with icecream.
the weirdest yet my favourite combi of all time =)
then it was chocolates and snyders.

and chocolates and more snyders =)
for those who haf no idea wat snyders is.. u havent lived!!
either that or u're a total health freak.

its gd friday today. GOOD friday.
but i'm stuck home with my parents and all my sisters are out.
so went geylang serai to haf briyani ayam with my mom. scrumpi-li-cious!! =)
but it was so popular that their rice sold out and everyone had to wait 20mins for them to recook la. and the place was freaking hot!!
so we were like.. digging into the hot curry rice while constantly mopping the stream of perspiration from our foreheads. mad la. sweltering heat. and when we were done eating.. it rained! oh yay. how timely.
oh.. and we had epokepok too!! wonderful big big malay sardine puff =) been a few yrs since i last ate it.

think maybe its gd to be upset once in a while.
u find urself eating all the food that under normal circumstances, u won't even think of eating. but of coz, i wld rather not be upset. not upset to the extent that i hafto eat THAT much happy food to make myself feel a wee bit better.
at this rate i'll become a fatty bombom in no time.=P

btw, i'm becoming more and more convinced that i need to migrate to a place where there are absolutely NO lizards. there's this big fat black lizard that comes my room to haunt me every single night! and it doesnt help that it keeps popping out at weird hrs behind my table and make its disgusting lizard croakin sound.. and i reli meant POP out. it'll juz suddenly run out and run back behind my table. like hello??!! u think hide-and-seek ar. if i werent so freaked out by lizards.. i wld haf thrown a dart right at it already.. so yeh. juz go play catch with someone else la. irritant. sigh.
when everything goes wrong.. even lizards seem to know it and wanna play a role in driving u mad. u loathesome cold blooded creatures. argh.

the news finally hit me this morning..
i always told myself not to harbour any expectations..
so that when i fall short..
at least i wont be so disappointed.
yet today,
it came when i was least prepared.
all my harboured dreams..
vanished.

today,
i saw my hopes shatter to pieces
and fall into nothingness.
today,
i experienced how to lose everything in that one moment.
today,
all confidence that i built up over the years..
left.
me.

its been so long since i last felt likedat.
tearing uncontrollably.
like a lost kid.

it was the only thing i reli wanted
the only thing i waited months for.
why does it hafto pass me by and go to someone else.
why.
why.
why.
.
.
.
i feel like crap.
the disappointment so intense.
it numbs my senses.
the feeling of worthlessness is reli horrid.
will someone do me a favour and just stab me pls.
