just got back from my swim. lap count=30 timing=unknown. a kid was splashing water all over. i got bored waiting for my brother to finish his laps so i made a huge wave to drown the kid. but instead of the boo-hoo-hoo-mummy-daddy-someone-bullied-me-in-the-pool manner, he turned around and started splashing at me too. i'm tickled! i like cute kids.


the wind was very cold today. wet body plus cold wind - the ultimate combi get me shivering like anything.



as i was saying yesterday, i met up with with my dearest Ryan for Spizza at holland village. went roaming around big bookshop @ clementi while waiting for him and i found a very pretty notebook. that makes me a very happy girl!












over at holland V i found a nike swimsuit in a wholesale shop for $10. that makes me a very happy girl! plus, a new addition to my wardrobe - a dark grey tee with a blue horse. that makes me a very happy girl!




hog's breath cafe it was because we were both craving for something MEATY and pizza was NOT on his menu.


i love junk food so the food we had at hog's breath makes me a very happy girl!




hee. thanks dearie! remember, i'm your honey and you are my kaya toast! wahahha.
















waiting for ms chen shinnie to arrive so that we can go running together. it's been a long time since i went for a long run with my dearest bestie. that makes me a very happy girl!

my neighbourhood is flooded with animals (think reptiles and birds and stuff like that). while walking to the busstop today, my phone went into it's camera function(THOSE USING N70 you should know what i mean laaa huh) when i pulled it out of my pocket. CLICK! guess who was caught doing what?



it's not just an empty road.
look closer my lovelies...

...why did the chicken bird cross the road?


i just got back from Holland Village and i had a rocking socks time. i'm so tired i don't think i can blog about my AWWWWWWWWwwwwwwwww-sum day. toodles! i'll blog tomorrow!

baby alyssa will grow up to be my punching bag tee hee hee! OR SLAVE. whichever she prefers. i think i'm very nice cause at least i give her a choice. (((: but for now she'll just be my scream box. :D














arghhhhhhhhhhhhh.... i spend too much time replying to messages online. scale of talkativeness (or typepativeness) is 10 and productivity is like, two or something.


i doubt i'd wake up in time for my swim. arghhh.


i have just decided on the solution to all my problems! i shall go for saturday's HRM makeup instead of friday's. that way, i can stop fretting over not being able to do my eRev selection cause it clashes with my lecture...and i can throw in my swim! which would mean i do not need to wake up <3 hours later.


AWESOME. i think i'm brilliant. for those who don't agree, please jump out of the window :P

SMILE! because life is good!




i took my watch for her virgin run today and she clocked an hour. distance wise, i dunno! if you all remember, i once blogged about the 3 reptiles i met on my run some time last year - a monitor lizard, a croc, and a chameleon. today, an arm-long greyish looking chameleon threatened to flick his tongue at me so i made haste and went in the other direction.

hehehe i met a furry little friend from a one metre distance! the squirrel's tail is quite cute. it looks like the soft bristles which we use to wash bottles. teehehehe. LOVE LOVE.

i should bring a camera out when i go running in the day. so many cute things!
LOVE LOVE!

i JUST found out that prelims are less than a month away. and so the saying that realization comes with age is true. WAHAHHA.



and hence i shall study......... until i fall asleep, as so sayeth the accompanying photo.

old habits die hard...

PART III of burrfday wHeek! :D

28th January, SUNNYday evening night.

the ruggies came over to my cosy cot with huge pizzas, chicken wings/drumlets, 2 yummy tubs of ben&jerry's and sara lee cake. junk food always makes people very happy and crazy. this time round, i don't have any pictures of the food, just alot of peekchures. here's one of me tucking in to the very chocolatey SARA LEE cake



and if you've noticed, ezdi can't wait to have a bite of the cake whaha.


with the touch girls it just means lots and lots and lots of photos. so here goes!









russell peters failed us (Actually no, my DVD player failed us) and we ended up playing mad magazine.

bimbos are not suitable for mad magazine, irregardless how brainless it is. hehehehe we went delirious.



hehehe. i need to formally introduce some of my awesome teammates on my lovely blogggggggggg.

EUNICE TEO, our FHM girl next door with her spastic faces:

quin covered her face to save her from further embarrassment.


my LOVELY ezdi and her four frames:



quin who always insists she's fat:



and my beloved CAPTAIN who used to make me tremor in fear...



HOHO...the keyword is USED TO.




i love you babes! you girls make me laugh till my tummy aches! ((((((:

swim today with SHIHAN was good. my glide is coming back!

i'm feeling very lazy. but i must must must pull myself out of bed tomorrow morning to go for a run. traininggggggggggg!

hmph

)))))))):

burrffday log continues...

27th January, SATTY

i hopped over to wheelock's Fish&Co. for a birthday treat with the mahjong kakhis. where they ganged up with the crew to embarrass me. embarrasment of a lifetime! shit! but they took a polaroid shot of us all and wrote me a postcard with birthday greetings from Fish&Co staff, so, OK! not too bad. FREE PHOTO MA!
wahahaha.




fishy fishy fishy...swim swim swim.



hehe. i present to you the nice babes who made me a powerpoint slide! yay.






and a very very tired james

who subsequently became wacky on our way home

which thus proves shinnie's (plus mine) point that tired people get high very easily.

and what's a dinner post without pictures of food?

the norm seafood platter, mostly gone mussels in garlic butter,


newyork fish + chips and penne.

and while we were there, check out who else was there...



food was very satisfying (how can seafood not be?) and we ended the day with more peeeeeeekchures





and a very pampered baby


thanks girls for the treat!

swimming later!!!!

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.
