Volley volley good times!

Enough of my emo entries...

i've FINALLy found recreational volleyball in NUS!!!! YAYNESSSSSS~~~

actually it's dear jolyn who found it and introduced to me. and cus of my undying passion for the sport, i HAD to go to school on friday when i have NO lessons at all.

what a huge sacrifice. i brought zeting along too and turns out she's also quite good at it. had a superb time playing with the guys and girls. they're really nice people but like as if it's not known enough, i have an embarrasing ability in memorizing names. i kept forgeting this girl's name and resorted to call her 10-all [score 10-10] cus they all kept disturbing me about keeping bogus scores.

anyways, conclusion: i'm still gonna go every friday!!

However, the problem with not touching volleyball for like 2 years is that my arms are bloody red and swollen now. as usual lah, right arm bigger than the left. sucks man....luckily we don't have to write so much in school, if not sure got spasms.

OH, and im so gonna 'zeng' my phone with crystals. lol. i'm not vain lah, it's just that i'm freaking annoyed with the falling paint from my poor phone. it looks damn cui now i feel sorry for myself. k i shall date jiayi lim on sunday.....

anyways, i've been trying to find a better quality vid for 27 dresses online. i think i'm totally in love with the movie, especially it's poster ad. it says a lot. and that expression on Katherine Heigl's face..she's beautiful man. i expect the storyline to be cliche and predictable but that's also what i love about them. HA!

*** my swifty is arriving next week! wooot! ***

read on.....

You must be thinking "why this girl so free these days..." right? let me tell you, life is damn hard man...i don't know how to make it as a person anymore. i don't blog you all say i never blog, i blog more frequently you all ask me "you have nothing to do is it??". so how? cannot blog lah? but i like leh....lol. my gosh, i shall control my generosity in singlish...haha.

CNY is just like what, 2 weeks away? if anything, it's the clothes that matters to me when it comes to preparations. hohoho. and OF COURSE, who can ever forget about the decorative stick-ons....at least not my mom. and the best way to get yourself in the mood, just get your lazy butt somewhere crowded and you'll be greeted with cny songs you've heard a trillion times in your lifetime. from the old-school versions to the head-spinning techno ones....WHICH I TOTALLY LOATHE.

anyways, let me enlighten you on my very own definition of 'DA XAO CHU': just throw away old stuff and buy more new stuff. why do i need to clean my home when it's been cleaned every other day? besides, if i attempt to grab the mop and start mopping the floor, i may find my poor maid crying in fear at some corner thinking she'll be sent home tomorrow. seee, that's why i shouldn't. HAHA. i'm not being spoilt can...this is just my style of being extremely practical and considerate - let her do her job cus we did PAY her.... and anyways, my house has 2 mops, i don't even know which is for which...so better not. LOL.

okay, i know you don't really wana read about my mops. so let's just talk about something else...maybe like my windows.... HAHAHHAHAA...


NOW, you all can start concentrating on this part of my entry cus it's all serious. [i can't believe i wrote 3 big paragraphs of nothing].

i feel really sad for my cousin. she's a brilliant woman, she's only 30, she has her career in her hands working for Esprit and then a marketing head for BreadTalk recently. She's one i really look up to in my family. HOWEVER, i just got news that she quited her job cus of depression. before you think that stress over the job is the biggest factor for her decision, it's actually something else. no doubt stress did contribute a great deal, it's never the only reason.

a broken marriage, a cheating husband. the fact that he's coming back from China this cny haunts her more than any nightmare. i can see why... if it's me, i wouldn't be able to face someone i've loved so much, whom i gave my whole heart to, who also happens to break it like it wasn't there in the first place. it's just sad. she's always strong, has her own mind, yet this forced her to breaking point. a total absolute waste, but i can understand nevertheless....

as her sister (my other cousin) told me and my mom over a chat today about how she broke down before her parents, and finally confessing about her husband pregnating another woman....i just teared. i'm crying because i'm f*ing pissed with that arse, and also cus i realised not every relationship is so nicely packaged like those on tv. i know there are exeptions but because this example is just so close to me i can't help but wonder what will be like for me or the ones i love.

marriage is an unpredictable thing. you don't know what you'll expect, really. maybe i'm too young to talk about it, i'm not even close to getting hitched. but if you ask me, if i ever have to choose between my carreer and husband, if i do love him that much, if he really has to go, i will go too. i didn't understand this until my dad i had a chat. like he always says, "somewhere someone has to give up something, because if you choose to marry that person, you're already no longer on your own." i thought it's all just prep talk, and i've never in my umpteen nightmares believe a broken marriage can actually happen...until this....

..some mistakes can be ammended, some love can be rekindled, and some relationship can be salvaged. but we also can't deny that some actions can never be forgiven. certain things are like this, if he's asking for forgiveness, he may get it, but if he's expecting people to completely erase them, it's impossible. and don't even expect her to look at him and smile politely like it never happened, because it did. and you know what she'll always remember from this? not the fact that he's such a cheating bastard, but the fact that she wasted so much time and effort and unfaltering trust on him.............it's not about the stupid choice he made, but the stupid choice she made.

Tuesdays in school are.......a bit boring. but my friends are the ones making the difference for me. ESPECIALLY JM cher with her ever fascinating antics like how she coined your first time at anything "VIRGIN TIME". SO, while we were chilling at the Deck with Zeting and JM Don, she once again tickled us with yet another one of her bizzare terms. she called Zeting's new motorola phone my "EX". LOL. it's like she has this thing about humanizing objects. old phone say old phone lah...what my EX.... hahaha..

then we were so bored we started this phone wrapping game from the piece of flyer some student union people handed out to us. not only did we not get excited over the Vbash ad on the piece of innocent flyer, we abused it by using it to wrap our handphones. LOL. and we were criticizing on how handicapped jm cher is at present-wrapping. okay, this is quite random so i'm showing you all pics instead....

Zeting's being quite polite by entertaining jm's phone-wrapping demonstration. lol.

ZT: okay i think you can stop.....
(F.Y.I.: all the pics you see w/o showing face is always JM cher. don't need to guess. it's an OPEN secret)


i wrapped this lor, the one Jm cher wrapped is too "cui" to be featured here.
wooops jm, you know i still love you! xoxoxoxolovelovelovexoxoxo








AFTER 2 HOURS OF LECTURE............

Impromptu singing session with my dearly missed kakis. only thing is Glyn couldn't make it this time cus of her friend's birthday. then again, they're just too last-min lah, only obliging me tagged along. those two really cannot resist the singing-bugs lah. so we headed to yishun safra [YAY!] for a 4-hour, sing-until-we-siao, session. we really did become a bit siao towards the end.

STARRING:

ME

JACKY

COLLIN

we came to this conclusion: the microphones at PartyWorld are the BEST.

i'm still not quite used to Collin's office-look. his voice is superb lah! got better after he went for singing lessons...so can u imagine? No, you won't be able to until you listen for yourself. haa~

the truth behind Jacky's "YOGA LIN STOLE MY FACIALS" accusations...

Verdict: ...um...ok lor.

COMPULSIVE PHOTOGRAPHER DIARIES....

*snap snap*

*snap snap snap*

*SSSSSNAP!*

i snap myself. lol.

P.S.: vid clips will be on collin's blog soon..i think.

the 2 most important guys besides my DAD

if you know me, you'll know i don't have much close guy friends. umm, i don't even think i have many guy friends to begin with.

firstly, i've never believed in a platonic relationship between a guy and a girl. for one, my first best guy friend became my first boy friend.

secondly, because i have prior experience, i tend not to be that close with guys.

thirdly, i have marvelous girlfriends around me. cus guys can't possibly ogle at cute guys with me, and they absolutely won't understand why i have to buy a hundred pairs of shoes and still continue buying them forever.

However.......


things change as one matures...like my mindset, my beliefs etc.

but only recently i realised, hmmmm.....i can be relatively close with a guy without having to really fall in love with him. before you start to imagine i'm bisexual, I'M NOT! the thing is, some guys make you feel exceptionally comfortable with, and allows you to totally feel at ease with yourself without worrying about how you'll look in front of them. OR, they're simply VERY GOOD pals to have, so the issue of gender is really unimportant anymore.

SO, here comes the exciting part...let's see, i hope you guys will be super elated to see your names here. HAHA!!!

1) JIATAO - i'm not 'wang en fu yi' okay....lol.... this guy ah, nothing to say. really an ultra good friend to have around. jiatao, did i tell you that you're a VERY good and reliable man?? hahaha...totally can, you're absolutely irreplaceable. self sacrificing and all. whatever i ask he'll always say "ANYTHING FOR YOU" lol! and with him around, i don't really care about my image. hahahaaa... in fact, i think i have no image in front of him.

2) JM DON - HE is the one who sort of "converted" me in believing that there is such thing as a platonic relationship. one of the few guys who knows a lot about me, especially my love life.....HAHAHHAHAA......whenever i have problems he'll sure be there to listen and give very sound advice. i don't have to hide my feelings cus he somehow knows what's in my mind sometimes, which is great. a sensitive guy but sweet nevertheless. JM, you know how much i appreciate u right???? hahaha.....

only 2 but that's not to say that the rest of the guy friends are nothing. everyone is something to me....just that we always have some favs...but guy friends are quite exclusive to me cus there are just a miserable few. hahaha... you 2 should be so privileged lor!!!!!

it's a men-thing

spent two hours reading cleo when i'm supposed to be reading my 2102 text. not really doing myself a favour but i can't resist the burning questions inked on the cover of cleo's Feb issue about MEN. hehe, nothing kinky lah...

it's quite sad to be reading about men from a mag, huh? but that's what deprived women who happens not to have many close guy-friends do. lol. okay maybe not that deprived, we just lack adequate understanding of men....but come to think about it, some men don't even undertsand themselves. i'd reckon they should also grab a copy of cleo this month to learn more about themselves..HAHA. but men has ego, they won't be caught dead buying sissy stuff like a women's magazine....unless they feel proud of running errands for their girlfriends. HAHAHA. if not, i don't think single guys will ever do that.

that's just a couple of sweeping statements i made about men cus they've become quite an alien topic to me since ummm.....like a thousand years? so i may be wrong, so correct me. anyways, jm cher and the girls were just discussing about the heartening fact that 40% of men don't mind women with small boobs. HAHA! i have to admit that for a split moment i felt like i struck lottery. but then again that won't be much of a consolation if they only polled like a hundred men? hai~ why should i care, honestly? i should just stick with my belief: it's ok, my heart is bigger than my chest. lol. ooops. =X

unlike women....men can be studied. cus apparently, whatever they do has a reason to it. the whole world admits to the fact that no matter how mature a woman is, she can be unreasonable to a certain extent. i'm sorry to say but that's the way it is, HA! but don't be taunted by this fact lah, just take it that it's a sort of illness women has (if you're looking for some kind of consolation.) HAHAHA~ so, if there's ever a module about men and their behaviour..i'd definitely bid for it!

OH, and then there's the relationship timeline as well...but i think it's all bull... haha.

anyways, a lot of things are just for entertainment, so......

SIGH..................

i'm so sian these days....nothing perks me anymore!!!!!!!!!!! shopping don't even excite me that much (maybe cus i don't have much money left this month). aaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh.................................................... i must do something great this sem! no, ok, this YEAR!!!! something great must happen before i turn 22!!! YUCK!!! i'm so gonna turn 22 in june!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHH!!! I CAN'T BLOODY BELIEVE IT!!!! *faints*

Friday = FREE day = You're welcome to date me, if you are free. =))

My first free friday after the start of the sem was dedicated to none other than smelly Jiayi. lol. she always has this honour...no qualms. also cus she has this irritating talent in persuasion. if not, it'll be just me and my tv/lappy.

accompanied her for a haircut at Heatwave. i've never been there and the verdict: like that only lor....so the fuss overcelebrities' shops is just like that. really nothing much...the hairstylists weren't fantastic, nothing exceptionally impressing. but like always...i like her hair, just that the wait took an eon. and i absolutely cannot stand her stylists' way of saying "HAO SING NI......" it's not even hao Xing ni...it's "SING" with a capital S can.

stylist: hao3 sing1 ni3 zuo4 yi4 xia4 color lah.....

jy: bu4 yao4 lah....

stylist: *looks at me* hao3 sing1 ni3 jian3 yi4 xia4 ni3 de4 tou2 fa3 lor...

me: ??? wo3 gang1 gang1 cai2 jian3 leh....

stylist: .......



jy n i : *silent OS* trying to hard-sell lor, chao ah-gua....

"wait a bit will die is it....................."

"YESSSSSS"

"really not i want one lor...."



cam whore part 1: Suntec bus stop

extremely cheery after the decade long haircut



Cam whore part 2: our fav "hangout" [in the bus]

..what the?

this uncle really tried damn hard to get a cameo can.

but nothing really stops us....hahahaaa

it's really a challenge to get him outta the pic. if it's not his body, it's his limbs.....*rolls eyes*

.....i give up.... while over zealous jy continues.



yet another of my free day...WEDNESDAY!!!

so on SUNNY wednesday, we girls went on a mission trip to TAN ourselves... but we're more like experimenting on how effective it is for fair girls to get a nice sun-kissed skin tone after a day out in the sun. turns out to be quite a failure cus posi and jm cher were totally unaffected. bleah~ it's either the tanning oil's lousy or we really shouldn't have played cards while tanning.

if you're looking for sizzling bikini pics then you should really get yourself a copy of maxim.

jm cher: my forte is getting myself out of the picture, ALWAYS.

But genius me figured a way to make her face look smaller. but howcome i have this bad feeling of being murdered on monday? oops.

jm YY finally turned over a new leaf after going MIA since forever.

the four of us: 2 with sheer make-up, 2 w/o make-up.

no prizes for the right guess though, but it's quite a challenge. haha!

i know it's kinda late....but "lateness is the new punctuality"! HA! hail me for this warped oxymoronic taggy.

BEHOLD matty's 2008 Forecast!

2) Family. I'm always a good and filial daughter. YES, ALWAYS.

[but i can be a bloody evil sister.] hehehehehe

3) Love. it will fall from the sky this year...CONFIRM!

4) Health. that recept aunty at the clinic downstairs will forget my name FOREVER.

5) MONEY. i will take less from my dad.
