sugar high!


ryan finally gave in to my ben&jerry's cravings on monday. GLOWY 1, RYAN 0.
buahahahahahaha.... i told ryan if i ever break up with him i'll eat the monster tub all by myself.

oh! and this is me with a small bit of my $71.60 bargain of bedsheets from friven sale. i got bedsheets for the fams! $71.60 makes everyone in the family happy, so why not? (((:

Daddy's birthday!

my dad turned a year older on monday. the fams headed out for dinner with the baby, who refused to eat her ikan bilis porridge and insisted on eating what we were eating. one word - greedy. one term - greedy baby. hahaha.

family affairs are always pleasant...noisy and full and life. i miss having my brother in the house. even though on most days he's just locked up in his room gaming, it brings comfort to know that i can sit outside his door and knocked forever screaming his name just to irritate him. i think it's entertaining. oh and food snatching business..the fastest eater wins. HEH HEH.

the whole family altogether now... say cheeeeeeeese! (once again, "look ma, no eyes!" sayeth the tan family + one NG)

this is for shihan. hahahahhaa.

my very kind blister, happily bleeding cause my dad accidentally whammed the corner of a really heavy paperbag into it.

finally headed out over the weekend for much needed shopping...and what did i do? spend $60 on a pair of SHORTS. i was probably insane, or possessed. SIXTY for a pair of SHORTS. then i decided i needed white tops to go with the shorts. so there goes money too. also spent money buying killer 4inch and 3.5inch heels which so gave me blisters so i bought new flipflops. but as ryan's friend, johny, says, "just spend! can always earn it back!"
i so love his motto but i'm sooooooo gonna eat grass for the next 3 weeks.


this is shihan in her 139dollar winterwear and me in her $5 top. i like. :D

to all my friends, please do not ask me out. i wanna stay home, eat grass and nurse my blisters.

anyhoos it's my dad + shihan's birthday today! happy happy birthday the both of you. ((: 2 of the greatest loves of my life!

nothing interesting lately cause i've been caged up like a zoo animal. went to the docs for a blood test ytd only to prove to the folks + bro that i'm not dying. that way, they'll let me head out to have some fun. but i'll have to wait another 2 days for results sucksssss.


with the new MIO up, i'm back to using my dearest old lousy comp in my room. no more dirty oily dusty korkor's room and now my webcam mates have a nicer backdrop to look at. :D


haiyer it's pouring outside, and the newest most happening thing - i have a cool new washine machine that makes hellllllll alot of beeeping noises for 5 minutes to inform you that the wash is almost done.

for ryan, because he loves her.

boys annoy you to no end and cause you to lose sleep! ARGH!

goodbye starhub, hello mio. anybody wants to talk to meeeeeee i will call u if i'm at homeeeee. FREE OUTGOING CALLS hahaha.


blood test tomorrow! the doctor makes me sound like i'm dying! !@#%$@#!#
my brother owes me ben and jerry's if there's nothing wrong with me. YAY!

dinner with ryan and shinnie at brewerkz that day (was it a saturday??). the couplet decided to squash me in between while the both of them discussed about soccer and how they used to climb out of bed in the middle of the night to "secretly" watch soccer while their parents were asleep. so whilst they were at it, i quietly stuffed mussels and sausages and sauteed mushrooms down my throat. *stares at belly in guilt*

let's see...
i was bored and feeling good today.
so i flew to ikea.

bumped into lewis and bestie, who bought 1001 things.

wanted to get bedsheets, but i came home with a pink box on castors.
got a lift home from little lulu
and now my fever is back up to 38.
well done!


WAILSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.

my life is like how tragic. i've been stuck at home since monday because of my fever (which is in no hurry to leave me. how faithful and devoted! if only my boyfriend is like that!!!) i have also finished two penguins, one sidney sheldon, and one tony parsons which i picked out from the library on sunday. so now i am left with absolutely nothing to do. horror of horrors.

look ma, no eyebrows!



this is the only picture i've taken TOGETHER with ryan in the past 213456784524 weeks. and i miss ryanie so TA DAAAAA!!
let's see, me with no makeup = no eyes, no eyebrows, no eyelashes pale, spotty all over and ghostly....really fits the hungry ghost occasion. and since i don't have photoshop, just too bad for me la. boo hooo hooo. (i swear ryan stole all my eyebrows)

guinea pig logs




my cute little pig who has kept me company while i burn to death. love love! she's so fatty her stomach brushes the floor while she walks. her chin quivers when she wheeeks. but haiyer so adorable how can i say no? *chuckles*

BOO HOO HOO!

i feel so terrible i just want to sit in a corner sulk cry and throw tantrums like a little child. my back hurts my bones ache and i feel like throwing up. my mum made me drink ginseng and ryan made me drink another horrid bitter drink. this dreaded fever sucks. WAILSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.

i concede! i'm not gonna fight anymore. i shall go eat some medicine. :(

me want cookie fooooooooood...



sausages pls? :(
i is hungry.

now that i have finished documenting my life on blogger i shall hit my pillows and curl under sheets to nurse this fever which has been bugging me for the past week. except today it has scaled to an even higher notch. it threatens to make my body explode from internal combustion. HAHAHahahahaHAahahaa.

i blame this surge of temperature on boredom. see, this days i can't stand being idle.

and this is my friend shihan whom i spent my early sunday with at borders. she made me wake up at 7.30am just to wait for her to wake up at 9+am. BITCCCCCCCH!!!!!!!!!

i'm convinced she's been hit by the crystal jade addiction as well. lunch date with xiaolongbao + wanton soup and her very spicy chilli oil thinggie.

backdate: sattieday

work on saturday afternoon put some $$$ into my pocket. yays!

then ryan + me headed down to tiongbahru (with intentions to eat porridge) BUT once again we ended up somewhere else for dimsum dimsem and dumplings dunplings. (spelling error intentional. reflects the menu ma)

ryan the crazy bugger ordered so many dishes. in addition to that above we also had wanton soup, prawn beancurd skin roll, guo tie and nai cha. and of course he also suffered the fate of finishing everything up himself cause i was content with wanton soup + har gao. hehehehee.

ryan is absolutely delighted with the place la because not only do they have nice food, they also offered soccer on EPL. *curses*

backdated: friday

yet again another joooook affair. tonnes of shuffling guys in caps and shades that cover more than half their face. seriously, shades in the dark? such fashion is beyond my limits. HOHO. and there was also this guy who was wearing what appeared to be a life vest.


post zouk was at newton circus after circling around what seemed like half of singapore, occasionally high-beaming the lovey dovey sinsap couple, and avoiding one road block. sambal fried rice, hokkien mee, stingray and cups of sugarcane took the growls in the tummy away.

Zouk aftermath... hahahahaha.. sad creatures.

backdate: FRIday




my supposed porridge affair landed me up in ikea. i don't know how or why but our feet just took us there. see la meatballs plus wings plus fish&chips, HOW NOT TO GET FAT?
all these years, i still simply cannot get enough of ikea (or it's meatballs). it's a sea of colors every corner you turn. like rainbows!
we grabbed ugly frog friend from the ikea sale and ryan got a row of colorful vases for $0.50 each. really pretttttttyyyyy!!!



i swear the place makes people high.

TOO TIRED TO POST!!!!!!!!!!!
quick summary:
*friday - ended up in ikea with big idiotic moron. zouk at night. welcome home yanbing. hello steve.
*satty - 2 hrs of sleep, off to work. happy valley cafe. i LOVE wanton soup (AGAIN). btw, what's with boys and soccer?
*sunday wee bits of the morning - HELLO MS ANG. welcome home! meet up soon! ur turn to cook for shihan and i!

ok ready to concuss. three, two, one! *VANISH*

it was the nation's birthday yesterday. i clothed myself in national colors and headed out with my dad to pick up my brother's family. the baby has grown so much! and she can now tell if something she does is right/wrong, judging from the tone in our voices.

caught the national day parade on tv before heading out to holland v for some muddy mudpie (yes for the third time) with shihan and pamela.

i thought the national day parade was splendid, as always. you see everyone out there putting up their best performance for the country. months and months of hard work. they all deserve a pat on zeee back..especially zeeee little ones and old folks.

birthday shoutouts to the following (8 + 9 august)

*damai - my deepest apologies for not being able to turn up for your birthday party. happy 22nd sweet 16. LOLOLOLOLOL

*jessie koh - happy 21st birthday ar woman...hope u're having fun even though u're 12,000km away. u fast fast fly back okay!

*jiawen (lim) - another year has passed! older wiser prettier and richer u've become. pls meet up more often...TO SHOP!

*singapura - happy birthday!! this is truly where i wanna be, with my friends and family.

bye me friends. i'm off to tiong bahru for porridge with my boy. i leave you all with my chicken dance pose.

i do chicken dancing professionally....REALLY!!

i feel like eating MACNORNER hotcakes now la and it's all marigold.silver.bronzesai peelflesh lewis' fault cause he made me think of them since last night. hotcakes with a glaze of maple syrup and butter which melts in your mouth. shiok.

so i made it to chevron and back, albeit at an obscene timing. on the trip back, seeing that i was whining in agony, shihan suggested brisk walking back. and of course i immediately jumped in to agree. WHAT WEAKNESS!!!! i'm sure i could have just hung in there but but but... blahhhhhh. still i thought my run towards chevron was good enough by my standards. feet landed properly, breathing was OK la, and attempted to open my stride.

it was a "no sweat" run for miss chen...i label her elite.

miss chen i shall push myself and train harder to match your standard... to make your runs good runs. otherwise, it would be a waste of your time to be training with me. BOO! *pulls ears and sulks*

credits: chen shihan

stole it off her journal. i like it cause it leaves you with a very happy feel....a sort of hope. i can't express myself la haiya... i blame it on the time. who can? at 4am in the morning. ehehehehehhe.. EXCUSES!! ehehehhehe

now chenshihan is that a better way of introducing you hehehehee.

chen shihan



life is better when you've got ur bestest friend on webcam at 3am in the morning, where seeing her on your chat window simply stops the tears from running down your face. she's one of the precious few whose mere presence can lift my spirits. arghshucks you make my heart melt. thanks babe. hehehe and now we're planning to run at 4.15am and then go for breakFATTYfast.

ANYWAYS,
we headed out on saturday with intentions to finish her photography homework. we spent 1 hr doing homework and the rest of the time shopping.
we walked around chinatown. besides going to chinatown market to EAT, i had never been to chinatown before. shame on me. for 22 years i never explored that place cause i thought was a breeding ground for the grey haired folks. BOO. (i'm don't like old people..seeing them reminds me of death boo hoo)




i was intrigued by the sights and sounds of little chinatown and was amazed by the little treasures she hides. a street stall selling antique collections. a pushcart with little souvenior robots bent from metal. tube tops for 7 dollars. bangles at a cheap price! yummy. pretty little things all over the place.

i'm eyeing this tee for when i'm old and senile so i won't go missing. :D



and of course tourist-sy place like chinatown calls for tourist-sy shots.


i love this shot. i attribute it to shihan's good skills plus her mega awesome nikon d70.


oh i realised i'm in the turqouise tank alot. i wonder why. i wear my other clothes too wad.. but somehow i never take alot of pictures when i'm in them. HA HA HA.

i shall run to chevrons and back when i wake up tomorrow. i shall do so even if i kills me; even if i have to crawl all the way back home.

new phone! whooppee!



i have hopped onto the sony ericsson bandwagon.
k810i, daddy's treat.
abit tricky..taking some time to get used to it cause i've been with nokia since i was 15.
whooppee!
now let's see how long before i scratch it. *sulks*

ryanie @ fruitloops @ fatty baddie @ bloody ninkumpoom @ chaota bread:

your hols have flown past. you've had 5 camps and outings and work, leaving us with barely any time to be spent together. but in that limited time we had, it was fantastic. we shall postpone our tiong bahru porridge + bukit merah fishsoup/donuts for another hols + botanical gardens to another hols. hope you'll have a great semester ahead. more As on your score sheet :D

to eat or not to eat
