en route; 
HAHAHAHA omg. this has just heightened my love for angry birds <3
credits to the very awesome oatmeal.com :P
meet up #1: DIDI! :D
my bald cousin booked out, so i brought him for meatballs! $4 for 10 pieces every tuesday, so it was suuuper worth it. headed to town after that, where four of us (my sis, didi, lembu &i) all bought fake wayfarers, with the three of em buying fake glasses, while i replaced the sunglasses i lost, thanks to that retarded king pigeon at the jurong birdpark. CURSE YOU KING PIGEON. THOSE WERE MY FAVOURITE SUNGLASSES, AND NOT EVEN THIS SUPPOSED REPLACEMENT PAIR SEEMS TO PLEASE ME. grrr.
meet up #2: charlotte lim (:
met up with an awesome old friend, who seemed to have changed! she's more independent now, and super goal-driven, so i'm very, very proud of her (: and it felt so good catching up &just sitting at mccafe @ lido till it was time to head home. the first after many years, and definitely NOT the last! (:
meet up #3: rahlowwanlin :D
(a horrible photo, because of my eyebags, but it's the only one we took that day, so.. owells. HAHA.)
met the lovely rah in town! where we tried to shop (because we ended up not buying anything, besides rah who bought hairclips), tried to get a manicure done (because everywhere was either dodgy or full), and successfully got a fringe trim &our coffee/tea talk-cock session :P hahaha. it was pretty awesome despite not buying anything, because we managed to relax &catch up with each other, just like the good old days! <3
meet up #4: STEAKKKKOUT!! hoho.
FINALLY got our long awaited steakout, thanks to alvin lim &myboy who went ahead to make arrangements (not because they wanted to meet up, but because they wanted to eat steak -.-). i made a strawberry marshmallow cake, sab made yoghurt, myboy made onion soup, potato gratin &cooked almost ALL the pieces of steak, mich tan got salad, kai brought chicken wings, mich lim &ben got bacon &ham, kenchin made ice cream cake (OMG freaking delicious) &mussels, yixian bought 20 pieces of nuggets (which we polished off in 10minutes), alvin bought about 2.2kg worth of steak (LOL), and aayush bought BEER (HAHA typical right). it was damn awesome. too much food, so we all entered into a food coma, but it was so, so, so good.
greatest thanks to my cake shifu, sean tan boonyi, who taught me how to make the strawberry marshmallow cake &provided some of the fruits for me :D YAY.
on a very sian note,
i woke up today (i.e. 25th, not 26th) feeling really tired and useless.
no school + no work = no use of brain = growing more &more stupid everyday. hahaha. owells.
should sleep, instead of thinking so much. it's 3.17am in the morning :S
goodnight worldddddd zzzz good times <3
hmm okay. evidence that i really need to cut my fringe.
2 stamps on mich &i, 3 stamps on kai &sab.
and the very awesome nic, who helped get us in (: PLUS. had a very awesome dinner at kenchin's place. his mom whipped up a huge feast for us. i think we had enough food to feed an army (okay i exaggerate). hahaha.
bake/gym/tan/do my eyebrows/cut my fringe tmr? today you asked. i replied by asking you another question. you replied, but never bothered asking again.
so i called. and i tried to reply, by telling you everything which happened, even though you didnt ask again.
and i got greeted by silence.
right now,
i'm trying so freaking hard to be understanding and to hold on.
i'm losing strength. it's moments like this when you realize that you're actually really, really alone.
because the first person who comes to mind when you're in need is the one you're having problems with,
and the second immediate person just isnt there anymore.
and because sometimes people get so caught up in their own world that they dont realize that they've hurt the people around them.
i need a freaking holiday. WHY ARE HOTEL WEBSITES SO DIFFICULT TO NAVIGATE AROUND?! it took me TWO NIGHTS to book a night's stay for my dad. and in the process, i almost died. or killed my very beloved, sexy, laptop. choose one. this is how the process went:
enter website -> choose dates -> CANNOT find necessary details -> almost dies trying to find out. survived the process, but did NOT find necessary details required -> ignores the details required &carries on with reservations -> keys in all the necessary details required for reservations -> clicks 'continue' -> reservation error -> amends what was required -> clicks 'continue' -> RESERVATION SESSION TIMED OUT (what?! after only staying on the webpage for at most 7 minutes?!) -> given a link which says: "let's start over!" -> clicks the link -> sent back to the hotel homepage -> keys in details required to find back the hotel in the country -> enters website -> shown the sign: "RESERVATION IN PROGRESS" (wtf? i thought they said it timed out.) -> ignores sign, and progresses to choose dates -> clicks 'continue' -> SENT BACK TO ORIGINAL PAGE with everything that i have keyed in, INCLUDING THE LINK WHICH SAYS "LET'S START OVER!". AND GUESS WHAT. THE CYCLE CONTINUED, BECAUSE I CLICKED THE LINK AND WAS SENT BACK TO THE START, WHICH WAS THE HOTEL HOMEPAGE, AND I KEYED IN ALL THE DETAILS AGAIN &THE SAME "RESERVATION IN PROGRESS" SIGN POPPED UP IN MY FACE, AFTER WHICH IT WENT BACK TO "LET'S START OVER!", WHICH MADE ME WANT TO THRAAAASH MY POOR LAPTOP WHO ALMOST HAD TO DIE FOR A STUPID WEBSITE.
okay. rant over.
i have now successfully made a booking on a hotel website &am exceedingly proud of myself.
over&out! happy (belated) valentine's day (:
yay (:
cupcakes! thank goodness i didnt procrastinate that day &i had sab to accompany me to poon huat &this other place at chip bee gardens to buy my baking stuff! or i just might have been too lazy to bake these for my lovelies <3
spent my entire (approx 2.30pm to 12.30am) sunday baking these &sugar cookies, followed by cooking on vday evening itself, so i feel pretty domesticated :P PLUS my hands still reek of onions &garlic, and i got burnt on my knee &foot by the pasta sauce that flew out of my pot while i was making dinner for myboy zzzz.
AND. i've been pretty clumsy. i dropped super a lot of things during baking &cooking, including toppling over my pot of boiling oil, which almost landed onto myself, but got saved by my maid who valiantly grabbed the handle &swooped it to safety (YES, very drama). after that, while trying to put a clean dish into drying rack, i somehow managed to hit a measuring cup in an angle that it FLEW off the rack, almost whacking my maid on the head in the process.
yes, i am very smart.
on a sleepier note, i'm super tired.
note to self: change alarm timing so as not to be woken up at 5 in the morning.
goodnight world (: happy 2.5 years!
(:
to myboy:
despite hard times, your busy &hectic school life,
i'm still glad i'm here with you (:
xoxo; after a good night's rest,
i woke up feeling refreshed, happier &ready to roll (:
because i remembered the good friends i have, the boyfriend who's trying to make the effort,
and the good God who is always there with me &for me.
and, thankfully, reminded by rah's blog:
“The Lord is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust Him.” – Nahum 1:7
so i shall trust, and i shall move on happily, and do my best to take whatever comes my way (: so my newly bald cousin went into army (:
"it's not about what you've left behind, but about what you have gained in the days ahead."
LOLOLOLOLOLOL.
the very sweet didi went around printing pictures of his friends &family to put on his locker in camp, &said he didnt have a nice picture with just the two of us so he didnt print one, so i grabbed my instax &quickly snapped pictures (: yay.
on a happier note, i finally found my shrek nail polish, which completely made my day! :D
"what's with the cattitude?"
YAY. the shrek series is a SUUUPER old series, so i found it quite hard to find :S probably should've bought em earlier when it first came out, but i wasnt really into doing my nails then, so owells. more pastel colours to come! (:
on a very, very unhappy note,
i'm seriously dying. it's really hard to be faced with negativity for a great deal of time,
and it's come to a point where asking even the simplest of questions gets greeted by an angst-filled, blackened face response. it's so tiring that i'd rather just hide away by myself.
feeling so stupid to let myself go through everything again,
but i really, really thought it was worth the shot. was i right? no. it was definitely far from worth it, but i cant seem to let it go. angry. and tired.
so pissed that i can actually feel my blood pressure rising, &feel steam/smoke coming from my ears, like those silly cartoons on tv.
sure, there's a reason. perhaps even a medical reason. but i'm only human, and there's only so much that i can take, and i think i'm reaching my limits. if this goes on, i think i might die.
on a very different note, a part of me had mixed feelings when i saw a certain comment on facebook.
i felt like laughing at the incredulity of the comment itself; that the person involved didnt even know anything about it, yet he had to cheek to make comments &insults.
another part of me felt it was ridiculous that such comments were made &that such an ignorant person was put in position to lead.
but of course, a great deal of my rant on this matter now is due to the fact that i'm freaking pissed right now, so i better stop before i go too far or say too much.
ARGHHH!!!
