25thJan, THURSDAY

to start off,
FattyRyanTortoise came over with a yummy choc fudge cake.



and ooo! i've got a watch to run with now... yay.





and so i was led to Fosters @ holland v by a very blur ryan who tried very hard to surprise me. surprise factor on a scale of 10 was actually near zero. but it went up to 9 when i saw these people sitting inside, waiting for me to arrive.






all you devils mega faked me with 101 rubbish plans/excuses/text msgs... beware of bad karma i tell you! but for all the laughter and thoughtful/useful/fantastic gifts, no la no bad karma k.

on Fosters,
1)food = rubbish,



unless you're vegetarian. MUSHROOMS ARE very very nice.

2)ambience = very LOMANTIC
but our little gathering not very lomantic la.

check out my cool LOXY cap from the (not so) usual suspects.



and thank you my dearest shinnie + ms ang for the keratase products. there is HOPE for my hair ((((:

my hard disk crashed on me this afternoon, threatening to strip me of all my memories held in the ten thousand years worth of photos stored in my computer. but thanks to my brother, my ten thousand years of pictures are still safe. hence, i shall take no further risks.
i promise to burn all my pictures into disks and store them neatly in a cd album. i also promise to post more pictures of my daily life onto blogger (no matter how fugly i look in the pictures) just in case my computer crashes again and the cds play me out as well. i mean, THREE forms of backup...how suay can i get right? :P

when i wake up tomorrow, i shall blog about my fantastic 1,000,000 calorie birthday week. i had an awesome time catching up with all the lovely people in my life while making my cheeks more fatty...i'm going for the cute chubby cheeks method since the beautiful gorgeous hot babe thing obviously isn't anywhere near achievable after this week's array of sinful food la.

research shows that: this chubby cheeks make people go AWWWWWWWWWWWW...



buahahahaha. i think i'm quite funny. BUAHAHAHA.



i present to you my first birthday well-wisher - baby alyssa chloe tan rui shan :D

i just chomped down a packet of large fries cause my bus flew past me just as i was about to reach the bus stop, and since macs was just behind the bus stop, it gave me a reason to get those fries.

shit.

MUST run later. i'll do a 5!

arghhhhhh.

LAZY LAZY LAZY LAZY LAZY LAZY LAZY LAZY!

2006 has passed welcome now to zero seven.

in 2006, i swam more, ran more, ate even more, slept very little and started to love being at home a little more. i did my first (half)marathon and i cried my eyes out when my guinea pig died. i'm comforted i managed to save the other guinea pig.

on the finance side, my bank account never grew because just as soon as it grew, another celebration or something came about and wham! back to nothing.

studies wise, i screwed up as usual. of late, i've started to tune in a lil bit. at least i know what's going on in my current modules.

in 2006, i never quite made the effort to catch up with friends...i guess i just wanted to be alone for most of the time. clicking through old photos made my heart smile and make a little twirl. if you think you're in those photos, then you're probably right. and i miss you.
ruggies: i overslept and only woke up at 7.45pm today. SORRY for not turning up.

with regards to love, as i always say, it's OK LOR.
ryan got a little nicer, a little more attentive, but on the first day of the 2007 i found out he lied to me. and at that instant i shivered a little. it made me feel that i didn't understand him as much as i thought i did. perhaps i haven't put in enough effort.

zero seven shall see me running more, swimming more, participating in nus biathlon, NB biathlon, standard chartered and nike real run (KIV).
i shall try to refrain from supper and my favourite order of "can i have one large fries and 9 piece nuggets and a double cheeseburger thanks."
saving more money is probably a good idea. it thrills me to see my bank accnt upsizing. i should start learning about shares in the stock market too.
i see a need to work towards graduating and school has been relatively fun.
i need to edge out time for my friends as well. i shouldn't be lazy.
home matters, i shall try not to strangle the (soon to be) crying baby.
and for ryan, i'll love you more and not cheat anymore.

i'm dying of hunger now cause my dad's out with his friends and he won't bring me food till 10+ (by the way it's 8.46). so for today i've survived on a bowl of fishball noodles, which was mostly eaten by mr ryan ng, and bites of cookies from the two old friends chailee and bin who were baking at my place this morning.

i keep forgetting to take my medicine. medical scientists should come up with time release capsules to save me the trouble of trying to remember to take my medicine. so u know like, one shot you eat it all up and for the next few days you don't have to wake up every 8 hours to pop pills into your mouth.

on tonight's agenda:
- christmas cookie baking frenzy with shinnie whom i'll hug and kiss (i estimate we'll be baking till the sun rises)
- run
- pray and pray for my dinner to come home real soon

the girl who's had 3 hours of sleep since thursday says goodbye!

it's raining AGAIN.
my funky will never get to bathe this week.

despite the continuous rain, the quartet decided to plunge into the pool to train up for the coming biathlon. the pool was freezing but the four of us had a good time lapping. wheee.

lesson for today:

how to remain fat.
1. eat char quay teow during lunch,
2. swim 25 laps in 30 minutes,
3. shower,
4. then proceed to holland v to tuck in to warm xo fish beehoon (good for a cold day),
5. dig teaspoons of skippy peanut butter upon reaching home.

to GROW FATTER (nt remain fat)-
6. heat up the ba chang on the dining table,
7. eat the cereal which has been staring at you (with lots of fresh cold milk!)
8. munch on toasted bread coated in a thick layer of crunch peanut butter and jelly,
9. and pop gummies into your mouth while watching tv.

thankfully i've managed to refrain from step 6 - 9.

this is why my good people, i am still fat despite all that cardio.
HAHAHAHAHHAA.

in all randomness,

i want a HUGEEEEEEEEEE guinea pig cage. with three levels and many many toys. then i can call it a guinea pig castle, right? tee hee.

i feel great GREAT GREAT from finishing my 21.1km run in 3 hrs this morning. my very first half marathon (or according to shihan, my first 21st in my 21st) ..and definitely not my last. will be aiming to cut half an hour off my timing in 2007. put my limits to a test and now it's time to redefine them hee!







time to start training for nus biathlon! go go go!

i found out what's far worse than running a fever or doing an essay - being at 39.8 degrees, vomitting and having diarrhoea. culprit: stomach flu.

and KNN la 30 bucks for medicine. i swear these doctors got it goooooooooood.

i can't decide which is worse, running a fever or writing an essay.


or maybe fevers are good. they make you sleepy and they give you a valid reason to only finish one essay and leave the other for another day. TEE HEE HEE.

i haven't blogged for such a long time, i almost forgot my username and password. i'm free till 7.30am so that gives me three hours of free time to throw myself against the four walls i'm surrounded by, do my biz law assignment or blog. and i obviously chose to blog.

of late, i am BROKE, with $13.65 in my bank account. VERY NICE AMOUNT considering 13 is my favourite number. if anyone feels too rich, pls transfer some kachings to posb savings account 245-39417-* (the last number's the last number of my block!) PLEASE LA PEOPLE BE KIND TO KING KONGS CAN. endangered species okay.and those who owe me money better pay up quick. don't short change me! TEN CENTS is also money okay. i can buy ONE rabbit sweet.

my bestie and i have been on a running frenzy, running for the past 3 consecutive days. 5 + 8 + 8. quite formidable for glory the king kong. my knees hurt but in view of half marathon on the 3rd dec, i shall suck it up and continue training. i hope to achieve a 20K distance by this sunday. shihan, u think? HAHAHA..

Ryan's birthday dinner was a sweet MACHO affair at brewerkz with cowboy burgers, wings, calamari, sausages, bryan's very sad very very sad STEAK and close buddies. thank you so much stan and bry for being so bloooody generous. KISS KISS KISS.
for more photos pls refer to chen shihan's blog. if you don't know the url, TOO BAD.

the castor people also gathered in the afternoon to celebrate his birthday before rushing off for exams.
he has such sweet friends. i'm so jealous.

ok. know what, blogging is worse than attempting to read notes. BYE!!!
i shall hold my notes and attempt to look like a genius.

OH! i think i'll watch the devil wears prada for the 5th time instead.
HAAHAAHAAHAAHAAA.

it's so irritating. i give people a dateline and they just can't keep to the dateline. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ALL THESE PEOPLE. doing you a favour and all you do is drag and drag and drag and drag. how can you expect me to be efficient when everyone's not cooperating? CB.

won't the bloody haze go away? i think Indo**sia needs a new govt. because they suck at their job. year in year out forests get burnt and who dies? it's an act of terrorism i tell you. burn the forests, smoke out south east asia with haze and then invade the country.
INDOFUCKINGNESIA do you really have that many trees to burn?


it's so hard to breathe with this haze. it's suffocating me!!!!
i alighted from the bus and looked across the field and i couldn't even see my block.
PSI 150 my foot laaaaaa okay. it's fucking 50 higher at like 200.


cblaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

i want everyday to be as fulfilling as today.




and i squeezed my little funky today. she's a furry ball of joy!

was it the right thing to do? to give it all up? can i keep the laughter and forget the pain? will my tears start flowing if i stop running? will you still try and keep trying to win me back again? my heart is bleeding but i've got no right to say a thing because i wanted it this way. a week has past now how long more will this feeling stay..we still talk and meet up but the emptiness just grows. why do you pretend like everything's the same; that nothing has changed? what do you really want?

today i saw the fckg hottest person i've ever seen in my WHOLE life. i'll faint if u put him 1metre from me.
it's good to sit at the despatch counter. you have treats for your eyes every once in a while.

hello William; goodbye benjamin...you're no longer at the top of my list. hahahahhaa........

after being together with that idiot lovely boy for a countless number of months weeks days hours seconds, we finally caught our FIRST midnight movie together.
milestone i tell you.
wahahhahahaa......


the coming week will be my last at DHL. pretty sad to leave cause i've got pretty awesome colleagues who make me laugh till my tummy hurts.


sentosa looks amazing at night. especially on a weekday night. lovely lovely place. but contrary to beliefs, we did not get lost running in sentosa on purpose. pppfffttt!


i miss chen shihan and reading her entry makes me wanna turn BLACK again. i miss those days out in the sun, soaking up happy rays. (:


i'm a very random person. thus the very random post.

steve irwin passed away this morning after a stingray barb went through his chest. steve irwin, THE crocodile hunter.
i'll always miss that croc man.

hello my good people who still bother to give my URL a click or two once in a while. i shall henceforth revive my blogspot with an array of fantastically fantabulous photos fotos. (changed for the emphasis) hahaha...

finally, reason to suspect my boyfriend is gay. -insert frowns-







till next time my loves!!!!!!!!!!!
glowy misses you you you and you. yes you! ((((((:

boiled barley water for the boy today and sent it to him cause he's running a slight fever from all that tanning yesterday. the sudden appearance of sweet young things in his life poses as a potential threat, hence the surge in care concern and attentiveness. what a bother.


have also skipped work taken leave from work for a whole week to stay home to take care of sick guinea pig and grieve over the loss of the other. told my manager that my grandmother passed away. well she did, except she passed away 12 years ago. what was i supposed to say? pig is sick? i don't think she'd take that for an excuse. sigh!!!


have plans to wear black throughout the entire month. also to input role play and be SAD and MISERABLE all day. (not too hard a task, just think about pig who left)must make my lie look credible.

for the one who always had her nose in everything,



who liked to tug on the threads of all the floor mats,



who liked to go "hmmmm? yes?",



who only liked her vegetables fresh,



who took her baths without struggling,

who looked pretty when her fur was nicely combed,



and even when it was not.



who was a friend and companion to both Funky and i,






and brightened my every day.



it was a life well lived, albeit short. you stayed strong even though you were in pain. you held on and kept your promise, and waited for me to feed you for the last time before you let it go. my silky darling, even in your sickness, you were most gorgeous. and my last words to you stand true - silky baby you're still pretty now okay and i love you.





SILKY.
04.07.04 - 24.07.06

thank you for swapping footwear with me; going on tippy toes in my high heels while i trudge around like ronald macdonalds in your comfy shoes, just cause my feet hurt.

thank you for looking silly and hopping around in botanical gardens from lamp post to lamp post like a rabbit just to cheer me up.

i love my weekend because i have brilliant friends who come pounding at my door at 9am in the morning in blood, sweat, and tears.
and they drag a girl who hasn't slept a wink in 36 hours all the way to east coast park to glide (i did quite well hor) on 8 wheels. HAA.
so now the girl who hasn't stepped into the sun since 21st january 2006 is officially BLACK with sunburnt shoulders.
!@#@$%%&@$#!@#$#$^^%**(^#$!#!#@@

steph's birthday party today buaahaahaaa. a 5 year old sweetie kept me entertained. i smile at the innocence 5yearolds bring along with them. *big beams*
hey girl hope u liked what we got for u (:


are there times when certain things just don't get out of your head? they linger in your mind every once in a while; you pause to think, but you shake the thought off. you're just thinking too much. many many many many many years have passed. the person probably doesn't even remember you. hmmmm... those brief moments were oddly pleasing but i don't even know what to make out of it. hide and seek i say.
whoa what was that. tsk tsk tsk.
