hihi, i am currrently in korea already..
it is wayyy to hard to get an internet connection in my apartment
and i have been out so much i barely have a chance to use the computer!

i just got back from my first class of the summer semester
and i am taking the course Heroes, Innovators and Entrepreneurship.

the lecturer is really old, 80+ years old
and he talks so slowly and softly!
i hope lessons will not be like that all throughout the course!

anyways, i gotta head back to school later for a placement test
for my Korean Language Class
so leaving in about 15 mins!

i will try to find time to blog as soon as possible!
byebye!

i just downloaded Microsoft for Mac 2011 yesterday
really happy about it because my laptop literally had nothing!

it used to only have the basic programs that comes with the laptop when i bought it
and it remained that way since October last year.
other than Messenger (MSN) for Mac which i downloaded but is disfunctional.

anyways,
finally i dun have to use text-edit for everything
and text-edit is useless btw!

now i have Microsoft Powerpoint, Word, Excel etc.!
and i used Powerpoint to do these pictures up..

these are pictures of my recent graduation trip
but only the first day
because it is wayyyy to hard to crop every picture into the prensentation slide
and make sure the pictures fit in nicely

think i will try to figure out another way to do nice picture arrangements!
otherwise i just upload 5 pictures at once onto Blogger like what i usually do
for the next post!

2011-06-19T12:38:00.003+08:00

everything else was great!!

pictures of my day out with nicholas on his birthday yesterday!
Dining at Waraku Marina Square..

i sent him home after lunch because he was feeling under the weather
and needed to go home to get rest
so that he will be better for the holiday starting in 3 hours time!

2011-05-31T00:10:00.019+08:00

i met up with my uni friends LL, Bob, Gen on Monday
because i went back to school to collect a document!

after leaving school
we went to eat at Charlie Brown Cafe at 313 Somerset.
my lil sis elaine came along too!

i think Charlie Brown Cafe is a camera friendly place because
of all the Snoopy Cartoon Characters adorning every corner of the restaurant
from the tables to the ceiling to the food..

the food there is good, but not fantastic
worth a try at least for the ambience!

Charlie Brown Cafe has alot of ongoing discounts too like
1-for-1 Lasagna
30% off certain food items
10% discount with UOB cards
and $4.90 for $10 worth of food with the G-market voucher (click below)

Charlie Brown Cafe G-market Voucher

the restaurant is located right outside the 313 Somerset main building
(nearest exit is the one next to Marche)

i bought a couple of stuff in Orchard
while shopping with my lil sis :)

Diva, the accessories store is having a sale
with sale items ranging from S$3 - S$9!!

I bought this whimsical sequined headband for S$7
from the 313 Somerset Diva store

I also went New Look and got a pair of shoes
because they were on sale.

Original Price: $43.90
Sale Price: $23.90
What i Paid: $22.70

there was an additional 5% discount off sale items with my Citibank Card

then i headed to Takashimaya
and bought stuff from Sephora.

-Sephora Nano Pencil Eyeliner (No.13 Precious Silver)
-Sephora Flashy Liner (No.09 Flashy Pink)
-Soap & Glory Eye Brightener (You Won't Believe You Eyes)
-Burt's Bees Rejuvenating Lip Balm (Acai Berry)

these 4 items costs S$56,
but because i had a remaining $50 Sephora voucher
my friends gave me for my birthday last year
i only paid $6!!! :D

-Sephora Nano Pencil Eyeliner (No.13 Precious Silver) - S$9
-Sephora Flashy Liner (No.09 Flashy Pink) - S$13

-Soap & Glory Eye Brightener (You Won't Believe You Eyes) - S$26

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________

then my boyfriend's birthday is today!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO HIM!

2011-05-30T20:22:00.016+08:00

last thursday, i went out with my JC friends,
yuzhen and shiyi
with the intention to watch a movie and ice Skate

we watched Pirates of the Carribean 4: On Stranger Tides
which was quite nice,
though it could have been better if
Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley were not omitted from the plot this time!

i think it is not to be missed if u watched the first 3 movies too :D

then as i said, me and my friends intended to go ice-skating at Kallang Leisure Park
but it is freaking expensive!!
It costs $13 for 2 hours,
and because we didnt bring gloves and socks
it is $4 more,
meaning it adds up to a total of $17 per person!!

lesson learnt: next time be prepared with gloves and socks if you wanna go iceskating

in the end, we didn't go iceskating and went for dinner at Geylang instead
there is this dimsum place at Geylang Lorong 11 (or Lorong 13)
which has very nice food

pictures below to make you all hungry!
except the chicken feet.. which shiyi wanted to order for herself to eat! HAHAHA!

we ordered all these (7 dishes and 3 drinks)
which worked out to be $33 in total for the three of us!
$11 per person..

2011-05-28T18:34:00.002+08:00

btw, i will post entries the next 3 days before i leave for my graduation road trip.

here are pictures of 3 cards i made today for my badminton friends
hope they like the cards!

2011-05-27T00:31:00.008+08:00

i went to Orchard to meet my ex- colleagues from Bank of Tokyo on wed night!
havent met them in a while since we were all either busy with exams or work!

we went to the SushiTei at Takashimaya for dinner
and i realized that not many people know that there is SushiTei at Taka..
because its location is really weird!

you would have to go to the 2nd floor, to the Taxi stand
cross the zebra crossing to arrive at the restaurant
in my opinion, it is definitely in a location
that is sorta 'neither here nor there'!

really happy that i get to see my friends
after such a long period of time!
like jodee & jx on tuesday
my ex-colleagues on wednesday
my PJC friends on thursday (pictures up tmr)

i really hope to see more people in the next few days,
if not i have to wait till 2 weeks later.
BECAUSE, I AM GOING ON A
2 WEEK ROADTRIP THROUGH MALAYSIA & THAILAND
from the 1st - 14th June!

then i will be back for 9 days
before
FLYING OFF THE KOREAAAAAAA
FOR MY SUMMER SCHOOL PROGRAMME!!

there i said it, finally! :)

2011-05-25T23:53:00.020+08:00

I didnt really wanna blog because its quite late now
and i went out the entire day today to 3 different locations
Yewtee Point, Bukit Panjang Plaza, and Orchard

anyways, i went to do a complimentary scalp treatment
at Kimage BPP branch today.
because my mum has plenty of the scalp treatment vouchers!
(like she had 8 of the same voucher when she first got them)
and i realized that she had 3 remaining ones that expired TODAY..

hence, i made an appointment and
went down to the salon to do the free scalp treatment
so as not to waste them!
i got to use 2 vouchers, because the hair stylist let me change
1 of the vouchers to some hair ampoule thing.

surprisingly, my mum also went to Kimage today to colour and cut her hair!
haha, so we were sitting side by side doing our hair..
i reached the salon later than her,
but left earlier than her..
so weird right! haha!

i didnt cut my hair any shorter but the hairstylist
snipped off so much of my hair volume :(
judging by the HUGE AMOUNTS OF HAIR ON THE FLOOR.

i knew its mine because the hair surrounding
my mum's chair were so little and i knew it was hers.
BUT MY CHAIR, OMGGGGGGGG..!
really sad..

next time dun go to a salon
and say 'i dun have a preference in the hair stylist!'
because u will regret it!

i got a hairstylist who anyhow cut my hair his own way
even though i told him beforehand, that i didnt want to layer my hair at all!
sadly, i only manage to see the damages he done
after the hair cut was completed and my mum mentioned to me
about the shocking amount of MY HAIR ON THE FLOOR.

i didnt take any pictures of the hair though..
too sad and too embarrassed!

_____________________________________________________________________________________

instead i am going to post the pictures i took at MBS
with my pathetic 64MB memory card..

i dont think the pictures did the suite any justice
because i could only take individual parts in individual shots
and it doesnt look as big in the pictures..
but the room was really nice with oh so many amenities!

you can read my previous post on the amenities the suite had!

____________________________________________________________________________________

camwhore pictures i took that day
sorry so many because i was excited about going to MBS!

2011-05-25T00:14:00.012+08:00

MY EXAMS ARE FINALLY OVER!!
YAY! AWESOME!
what a relief!

adding on to that,
i am graduating from university and no longer studying anymore!
though the 'no longer studying' part, i dunno whether to be sad, or rejoice.

i am pretty happy that i no longer have to bury my head in notes,
and study like siao ding dong during exams.
but then again, i wonder if i will miss studying when i start working. :(

anyways, i will try to stop thinking about those
and concentrate on the excitement
with comes with the end of exams!! :D

_______________________________________________________________________________________

below here are pictures of a tray of fruit tarts
my mum bought from a bakery a few days back.
i didnt know it was expensive and happily ate 4 at a go
until i realized the tray costed about $15 for 12 tarts
meaning one tart was about $1.25.

SIAO LAH! why did my mum go buy so many??!
after i knew, i really savoured every bite of the next few tarts i ate.
way too expensive for a pretty little thing like that
that is only big enough for 3-5 bites :S

nontheless, i have to say they taste not bad,
if not for the fact that the fruits as the toppings could have been a little sweeter.

the bakery that sold the tarts is called Dino Cake House and Cafe
and they have 2 outlets in SG.
i wonder if the other pastries they sell are just as expensive!

BTW, if you are wondering
how come i manage to take pictures
when my SD card is missing.........

well, i bought a new SD card on Sunday when i went to Lot1 to study.

first, i went to Courts - 8GB SD card ($29.90)
but i felt it was a little too pricey.
so i stood there staring behind the glass panel at the SD card for some time
contemplating whether or not to buy.

then i remembered there was a PC Zone the next floor!
so i decided to go over and compare prices!

GUESS WHAT........
HENG I WENT TO PC ZONE!
the 8GB SD card was sold there for only $24!
so i bought a new SD card in the end!

picture of the brand - Kingston, which i believe to be reliable.

before that on Friday, i was heading to an important outing with my friends (i will explain this later)
and i wanted to take pictures very badly.
so i resorted to using this Nokia Mini SD card with an adaptor
to be a substitute for my original lost SD card.

it is totally useless and i could only take about 20 pictures max with it.
i felt super sianz about it that day..
this 64MB card is so pathetic :(

_____________________________________________________________________________________

then about the outing,
i went to Marina Bay Sands for my uni friend's farewell party
and he booked one of the super super duper premium president's suite
at one of the top floors of the hotel.
(top floor is the infinity pool so no rooms situated on the top floor)

super luxurious, grand, with butler service,
a gym, karaoke lounge, spa room, 2 large bedrooms, 4 toilets,
crazy big bathtub and shower room
has a grand piano in the living area
so much bigger than my entire HDB flat ..

and this room costed SGD $5000 a night
$ 5000!
he booked 2 nights = SGD$ 10,000!!!!!!!!!!!!

but my camera only had a 64MB miserable memory card that very day. :(
so sad so sad so sad i couldnt take more pictures in my camera
and have to wait for pictures to be taken from facebook through my other friends.

sorry for making you excited and then unexcited again....

_______________________________________________________________________________________

moving on, after my paper today..
i went to meet Jodee and Jingxiang at Orchard to celebrate
shop, eat, chill with these great friends of mine :)

but i forgot to bring camera.. oops!

did my nails at Far East Plaza.
Express Manicure for $5! quite cheap!

if you wanna know where, ask me on Formspring!
http://formspring.me/dixnetchenze89

this time i painted my nails shiny bronze glitter colour..
something i never done before.
in fact, i seldom have my nails done.
and, if i do, i always stick to colours like pink, purple, beige..
or colours people use for French Manicure..

3 things i bought at Ion Daiso today!
-ziplock bags for my upcoming graduation trip ( will reveal soon on my blog!)
-origami paper i intend to use for my scrapbooking and cards
-colour paper made from flower pulp (handmade paper)

2011-05-22T22:17:00.002+08:00

no time to post though i got things to post
so here are some interesting videos!!

HI EVERYONE,
i saw that my lil sis had a Formspring account
and thought that i should have one too
in case anyone wants to ask me questions to disturb me
make fun of me or sincerely ask me about stuff!

THE GOOD THING IS:
you will be anonymous and i will not know who you are!
UNLESS you ask via your own Formspring account that is!

so ask me questions k!
random ones, silly ones, absurd ones, funny ones!

what you want to know from me?

i am very sad now,
because i still cant find my SD card with the card reader.

after pulling open every drawer, every cupboard,
searching every corner, under my study table, the dining table, the living room, coffee table
it is still nowhere to be found!

and, i cant do anything about it!
argh!
at least i can attempt to bribe and lure the hamster out when it escapes
with his fav sunflower seeds.
but this i cant bribe! :(

so again, just some random pictures of me wearing a bear hat
i bet u do not see this often
so hope it amuses you!

2011-05-19T01:13:00.001+08:00

really sorry for not updating the past few days!
i am still in the midst of my exams :(

though its much better now,
because i have conquered 3 papers already
and only have 1 more to go!

anyways, i kinda lost my camera's SD card along with the card reader
and i have no pictures to upload from my camera
until i find my SD card

i believe it is lost somewhere in the house
waiting to be found..
so hopefully it pops out somewhere soon!! :)

here are some taken with my Macbook's photobooth!
sorry for the messy hair :S

i assume everyone has eaten or at least heard of the snack Collon
usually you can only find the strawberry, chocolate and cream flavoured ones selling in supermarkets
BUTBUTBUT i chanced upon this unique new flavour!

MIXED BERRY CHEESECAKE!
i think it was imported from Thailand
because the words on the box are in Japanese and Thai..

the taste of this new flavour is really different from the rest
as it has a very strong milk and cream taste
somewhat like a yoghurt..
with a slight tint of blueberry

Price-wise, the same as the other flavours (i bought it at S$1)

has anyone else tried this Collon snack in MIXED BERRY CHEESECAKE TOO?
please leave a comment!
thanks for reading and bye!

2011-05-07T20:49:00.018+08:00

I have always been a person who loved making cards..
Guess i really like ART!

haha, for the 4 years i was in secondary school,
i was in charge of decorating the class notice board,
the one that planned the decorations for the class on CNY, special occasions,
or the one that comes up with what to design for some competition etc.

anyways, enough of the self praise,
here are 2 cards i made yesterday night
1 for Nicholas, and
1 for my mum for Mother's Day

both cards are the same, (just different sizes)
with a stand in front to prop up the card..

This is the card for my Mum

and this one is for Nicholas

The red, green and yellow cardstocks for both cards,
The buttons (mum's card),
The text stickers (Mummy I LOVE YOU),
are bought from Papermarket.

The lace borders i got from Daiso &
some stickers are Korean Stickers bought from Gmarket

Next time maybe i will make a card-making tutorial :D

then, i bought some nail stickers to paste on my nails..
i didnt do a good job though.. haha!

and i tried out my Biore Facial Wash already!
I think it is really not bad!

after using it, there is a fresh clean feeling on my face
and i think it is on par with Hada Labo Facial Wash!
whats best is that it is so much cheaper!!

2011-05-04T20:18:00.013+08:00

exams in 2 days time!
veryveryvery 紧张!!!

today i went to study on my own at Lot1 library..
then i went Watson's to get some stuff
like my daily facial wash and deodorant!

and right opposite Watsons was this shop selling Sanrio stuff
like Hello Kitty, My Melody, Keroppi, KiKi & LaLa
and Doraemon (i think this not under Sanrio though)

Although i am not a fan of Sanrio characters in particular
i do have a soft spot for cutesy stuff,
like Korean stationery, stickers etc.

And in that shop, i saw this!
很可爱 right!
Hello Kitty Stamp Set...

Close up of the 15 stamp designs
with 2 ink pads on the far left side
(Red & Pink.. supposedly Hello Kitty signature colours i guess!)

it is stated to be made for sale in Korea only..
which i didnt really care..
WHAT I CARED ABOUT WAS THE PRICE!
LOOK BELLOW:

sticker put ₩5000 (in Korean Won)
which is converted to be SGD$5.70..

BUTBUTBUT here the price tag: SGD$8.90
walao, they earn more than 50% of the original price of the stamp pad lah..
felt ripped off when i went home and noticed the original price!

but nontheless, i think its not bad..

here are the prints of the Hello Kitty stamps i tested,
& the ink pads given

this following picture is of ink pads and stamps i had before that
and so coincidental, the colours are the same.. ZZ
but the pink here is nicer than the Hello Kitty Pink one :D

and here below,
is the facial wash i got from Watsons

previously i used the Hada Labo Facial Wash (SGD$12)
and i saw this Biore one on discount for only (SGD$5+)
and since i like discounts, i thought i give it a shot!
will let you know if it is good in my next blogpost :)

adios!

2011-05-01T23:29:00.008+08:00

i am really tired these days
and unmotivated..
so i will make this post short!

anyways, i just checked my bank account and i am S$600 richer! :D

I bet every teenager below the age of 21
must feel really disappointed that they arent of age yet (you need to be at least 21)
to receive the Growth & Share $$$! haha!

however, i cant exactly gloat and spend the $$$ now..
BECAUSE this money is going to be saved for my road-trip holiday!!
some people already know where i am going,
for the rest, i will reveal to you next time!

and here are some pictures
to show off my cheap buys again:

i recently headed to City Plaza for a short shopping trip with my 2 sisters
and bought this top for only S$5!
it has this sorta tied dyed black print on it and i really like it!

BTW, if you have heard before that clothes sold at City Plaza are dirt cheap,
you have heard wrongly!
most of the things there cost more than what you can get at Bugis Street!

when i was there
the shop owners quoted me prices $30 onwards for their apparels most of the time..
and those clothes that are $20+ odd, can be gotten on blogshops are the same price.

i guess, if you buy like 3 or more items from the same shop,
the prices are going to be discounted
but its not really easy to see so many things you like at just 1 single shop!

so ya, unless you are buying in bulk,
be prepared to pay more..

my tied-dyed $5 shirt was really a bargain!

2011-04-28T23:06:00.002+08:00

Singapore's General Election 2011 are coming
and i just received the card stating that i have to vote
on whether i want PAP or SDP to represent our Holland-Bukit Panjang GRC
luckily i am 21 already & get to vote :D

Picture of a lovely rose! haha!

on another note, i have a proper handbag!
finally i bought a handbag...BECAUSE,
if u know me personally, you would know i am not a handbag kind of person
i have slingbags, beach straw bag, backpacks, whats not
BUT not a handbag..

i got it from G-market Singapore
and its REALLY cheap!
guess how much it is
then scroll below to find out !

here are the pictures:

can carry it with the normal bag handles
or with the extra sling bag strap provided

this bag costs only S$13.40 & its so nice!
it was also delivered to my house via TAQ-BIN courier service.

actually i wasn't home when the delivery man came the 1st time
so he left a Non-delivery Slip at my door.

Then i called the number on the slip to arrange for a re-delivery
with a timing suited to my own preference at NO ADDITIONAL COST!
(i chose the the next day morning 8am-10am slot)
really really awesome service!

the delivery man came a 2nd time
and he was super patient and nice!
thumbs up :)

this flowery throw-over was bought via a taiwan spree (Toyko Fashion)
and costs only S$10
(after conversion and including shipping and mailing)..

the spree organizer was very efficient and i got my clothes in less than 2 weeks
compared to other organizers that make you wait 1-2 months, which is crazy!

to know the spree organiser, you can leave me a comment in my tagboard :)

look closely and u can see that i drew my eye today
with the Bonjour Paris Metallise Purple Pencil Eyeliner..
its doesn't smudge and can last throughout the day :)

byebye!

3rd Set!

many of my friends own hamsters
that are adorable
lovely
fluffy and cute as ever

BUT my hamster
(or should i say my lil sis hamster)
is like a terrorist..
waiting for any given opportunity to attack my hand..

why? :(

2011-04-25T23:48:00.004+08:00

today is monday again already!
time passes way too fast..

my exams start next Friday and i feel like i am running out of time to study!
i really got to make full use of my time in the next few days..

anyways, i went to Causeway Point to have dinner with my family last night at Soup Restaurant..
the Samsui Chicken there is really awesome and u cannot find it anywhere else in Singapore (i think!)

my elder sis happened to walk past the Metro departmental store and saw that there was a SALE..
so we went there after dinner andddddd
THANK GOODNESS WE WENT :D

there was like 40% discount on Bonjour Paris makeup, Loreal, Maybelline etc.!!!!!
seriously right?!
how often do you come across sales with such big discounts on makeup?

I bought 2 base creams from Loreal,
2 Eyeliners from Bonjour Paris
and 4 Bras (this i know i don't have to say here BUT its really cheap so i HAVE to mention!)

the Pierre Cardin Bras were retailing at (2 for $30),
but there was a further 20% discount!
so it became (2 for $24),
and it calculates to just $12 for 1!

LOREAL CREAM BASE
Usual Price: $21.90 each
Discounted Price: $14 each (40% off)
I Bought: Even Complexion & Brighter Complexion

BONJOUR PARIS EYELINER
Usual Price: $15.80 each
Discounted Price: $10 each (40% off)
I Bought: Contour Clubbing Waterproof Black & Metallise Purple

i dunno how to apply eyeliner,
so i thought i buy to learn how to use it :D
haha, even my lil sis is an eyeliner expert..
so I MUST LEARN! haha!

anyways, too bad the SALE lasted 3 days only
& yesterday was the last day of the sale..
BECAUSE, i was at Woodlands again today for my Korean Language class
and went through Causeway Point.
BUT Metro didnt have the sale anymore..

Cotton On has a 30% storewide discount sale too but it ended today..
but nahz, didnt buy anything from there..

OH, and i had a bad hair day today.
my fringe was lopsided :S

2011-04-23T15:24:00.004+08:00

I am watching A Crazy Little Thing Called Love on dvd now..
my elder sis and i bought it at BPP!

it is a thai romance movie that nicholas introduced to me a while back
and its superb!
i introduced it then to my 2 sisters..
but they werent that fascinated at the idea that it was a thai movie.

so, i convinced them to watch the short trailer
and after watching the trailer and finally the entire movie on youtube, they LOVEDDDDD it!
haha, my lil sis claims she watched it 5 times already till date!

thank goodness i found my phone today!
or should i say, someone found it!

the kind soul actually called nicholas up last night to tell him he picked up my phone..
and to meet up today so i could collect it!!

from now on, i am going to treat my handphone like a gem
and not neglect it so much anymore!!

i can't believe i am so LUCKY!!!! :D

i lost my phone... BOO :(

2011-04-19T21:11:00.009+08:00

i am blogging while watching GLEE on StarWorld..
hmmm, today i went school for a 6hr lecture..
overly shaggggggggg!

anyway, i mentioned i bought my Jelly PongPong lipgloss with the Fairy Lashes Mascara..

here are pictures of it:

it comes in a cute packaging box with white fluffy feathers on top
and the mascara bottle is purple..my favourite colour!!
i've tried it and i think it really does make my lashes longer
though, i hardly ever use mascara!! haha!

all the Jelly PongPong products have really interesting & superb concept packaging..
even the brand name is so quirky!! JELLY PONGPONG!
not like the usual cosmetics we see in departmental stores, Watsons and Guardian
with bland simple and run-of-the-mill kind of packaging for their products

sadly, it does not retail in Singapore, not even at Sephora.
hopefully they bring in this brand someday!

pictures of my headband:
i love hair accessories and i have seriously too many of them at home already!
haha :D
this one, the blue sequined headband is from Forever21.com
and the feather is a separate clip i got at Far East Plaza for S$4 (if i didnt remember wrongly!)

the feather was initially attached on a metal hairband and the shop owner was kind enough to
help me change it into a clip!
i don't like metal hairbands as they tend to give me headaches, hence the special request!

2011-04-18T21:46:00.017+08:00

i am blogging while watching Work of Art on tv..

its a reality show where different artists participate in challenges where they
have to come up with art pieces within hours!!
super interesting!!

then, i bought this lipgloss off ASOS.com a while back and its super cute!!
the brand: Jelly Pong Pong
the colour: Lip Orchid
Original Price: £5
Sold together with Fairy Lashes Mascara for £6.30 (Sale Price)

i don't know if they are still selling it on ASOS but you can get it at drugstore.com too :D

the colour is pinkish-orange..
and it has an adorable orchid flower attached to the cover
where else can you find a dainty lipgloss like this right?!

the lipgloss blending in with my dining table's tablecloth

2011-04-17T18:28:00.002+08:00

as usual, i had a 3hr tuition lesson to teach again today!
and its a SUNDAY!
dunno why but Sundays are the days i work the hardest
and the days i am most tired..

but i am home already!!

today is a really hot day!
can the sun go down already?! its 6.30pm!

time to start studying again.. 안녕!

My first set

2011-04-17T18:22:00.002+08:00

i was playing around with Polyvore

ANDDDD...

not bad for a 1st try :)
lol!

My first set by dixnetchenze featuring summer dresses

2011-04-16T21:28:00.006+08:00

today i overslept and was late for class for 1.5 hr :(
seriously what was i thinking?!
only 2 more weeks to my exams so i got to take my classes more seriously!

today, i also went to Bukit Panjang Plaza, the mall near my house..
to pay my Citibank bills - $200 bucks :(
heartache!!!!
dunno how i managed to chalked up so much on my credit card last month..

i also went to Daiso to get some stuff.
apparently, i walk into the store everytime thinking,
"HEY, i will just come in to take a look! if i buy anything, its just SGD$2 per item right?"

but i always end up spending wayyyy more than $2..
i should stop shopping on impulse!!

anyways, i bought these (anticlockwise):

1) Chingnon hair tool
(to help me create the chingnon up-do but it seems i have too much layers in my hair..sad)

2) eyelash curler tool
(mine went missing a few months back.. but i believe it is hidden somewhere at home
so i might probably find it someday :S)

3) lace border scrapbooking tape
(i love doing cards from scratch nowadays so this is pretty useful)

4) Partial fake eyelash
(i don't know how to put a fake eyelash because u have to cut it to the correct length, align it, paste it etc..
super troublesome!!! i never succeeded and gave up on them!
so i thought maybe i could try the partial ones.. dunno how it will turn out!)

5) japanese bobby pins
(to pin up my long bangs when i am studying!)

6) seasoned seaweed
EXPENSIVE!!!

sunglasses turned fake specs
P.S i used a hammer to remove the lenses.. haha!

BYEBYE!

2011-04-15T22:15:00.003+08:00

this should be how a live performance should be like!

매우 좋아해요!!!
they sing with so much passion! awesome..

2011-04-14T23:41:00.013+08:00

i just received the cutest thing ever in my mail today!!
BUTTON STICKERS for my I-TOUCH!!!!

all the stickers were just too adorable
i couldnt decide which one to paste at first!!

i think it can also be used for the I-phone since the button is of the same size right..

super-duper nice!

my i-touch with the chicken sticker

if anyone's interested to know where to buy these stickers,
leave me a comment!!
*btw, you can click on the picture below to zoom in and see the other awesome designs*

then lately, i have just been studying at RP, or going to school EVERYDAY!
well, i think i have endured it for more or less a month by now..
and i think i am becoming a robot :(
doing the same routine every single day.

BUT exams start in may, so no choice!
FIGHTING!!!

someone commented i should smile more..
LOL!!!

2011-04-10T21:31:00.002+08:00

just now i was just looking at some youtube videos and came across 3OH!3's music videos
then i went to see their record label's Youtube channel - Photo Finish Records.

surprisingly, there are a couple of other bands under this label
all of which i didn't know of,
and i am sure many other people don't know of too
since the no. of views they get aren't too many.

however, i think they are really not bad!
like Downtown Fiction and Anthony Green has nice songs!!

here are 2 videos from Downtown Fiction :)
enjoy and hope u think their music is nice too!

2011-04-08T21:47:00.010+08:00

this time i am blogging not to complain about stuff or drown in my sorrows..
i cant possible have something to complain about all the time right? :)

2 - 3 months ago, i actually dyed my hair with the Liese Bubble Hair Colour - Chestnut Brown
and it totally did not show..
i guess i didnt put the hair colour on long enough (supposed to be 30 mins)
OR my natural hair was just too black
OR because it was the 1st attempt in my life at colouring my hair
OR that chestnut brown was just too close to black, hence the difference wasnt obvious.

anyways, i dyed my hair again 2 days ago!!!
i did it at home with the Liese Bubble Hair Colour - Sweet Apricot..

as the Sweet Apricot dye is lighter and brighter and has an orange-y tone,
it has worked better this time..

BEFORE

AFTER

though my hair did not end up as orange, and instead looks more like maroon
i am glad i did not waste money this time :)
i am quite sure that its my hair thats the problem as to why the colour isnt that obvious both times!!

then i realized tt my camera can take pictures with a special effect!
haha! actually not very special..
i just merely place my hand over the flash.

2011-04-01T21:43:00.010+08:00

usually when i get up in the morning nowadays,
no one's at home.
my mum and sis are at work and my lil sis is at school.
it's a little hard to get used to, since the past 21 years of my life - i had a maid.
but not anymore since october last year.

anyways, tt's not the main point of this post.

my mum happened to be at home this morning and,
she made some comments after seeing me wear some particular new shirt i bought.
i don't remember the exact words she used though and it was in chinese.

Mummy: "diana, why are you always buying those cheap clothes online?
you have a huge pile of clothes bought online not worn before in your cupboard!
i went to see them and all are of sub-standard quality, or too big for you.
don't buy clothes online already.. you won't even wear them am i right?
you are graduating this year and going out to work soon so don't buy those clothes online already.
you cant even wear them to work, since it would be embarrassing, given the quality.
next time buy clothes from the shops, at least you can see the quality and sizes..etc"

my reply: "i do wear those clothes i buy online! if its big, its okay. at least i can still wear it.
and btw, those dresses in that stack are from UK (i didnt say ASOS since she wouldnt know) and are not dirt cheap and lousy.
i just keep them first and will wear them for work next time."

her reply: "you don't bluff lah!
by then, those dresses would have been out of trend.
i am sure you won't wear them"

points to note:
i do not follow trends.
i dont deny that many of my clothes are cheap, and i am super cheapo
but at least i have variety in my closet and i have more to choose from every day.
some people have wayyy expensive clothes in their closets but they end up
having to repeat wearing the same outfit like 1 week later or so?
so, cheap does not equal lousy.
and, i would rather have five $10 shirts, shorts, whats not etc i like than
one $50 dress from miss sixty ( infact i don't think they have $50 dresses.. they definitely cost more)

btw, i am wearing a $7 shirt now shipped over from korea..
show you a picture i just took:

i mean it doesnt look expensive but it doesnt look like $7 either what...

and to show you that my mother can't tell the difference between cheap and expensive stuff either
and yet wants to complain about my online purchases,
here are pictures of stuff i bought on ASOS (not dirt cheap k) which i am keeping for work and the coat for my korea trip.
oh, and pretty models for you to look at.. obviously they look good in the dresses so the dresses don't look cheap.

so next time someone tells me what i bought or what i am wearing or what i have look cheap,
i will tell them i like my cheap stuff as much as the other expensive stuff i have.
what do you want to do about it? :)

2011-03-26T20:45:00.002+08:00

it is really irritating when someone preaches to you something..
yet they themselves do not practice what they preach right?

especially people who want to show off that:
they watched a video about japan's devastating disaster and to PRAY FOR JAPAN!!!!!
they are saving the earth by sitting in pitch dark from 8.30-9.30pm now because its EARTH HOUR!!!!

whats worst is them making it known by POSTING UP STATUS UPDATES ON FB, TWITTER, THEIR BLOG..
or whatever other ways they can, to let others know that
they are doing something about the particular issue, be it Earth hour, the Japan crisis, Libya, etc.

but hey you know what?
i totally don't get it.
you post things like 'PRAY FOR JAPAN', 'how pitiful', 'pray for the unfortunate people'..
but did you do anything?
did you donate to the red cross or some other organisation that is helping to raise funds for japan?

or you are just trying to act like you care when you actually didnt bother to do a thing?

ohohoh, and just so you know,
not switching on the lights for an hour during earth hour,
does save a teeny weenie bit of electricity.
but spending a couple of hours everyday to charge your Iphone (that needs to be charge everyday)
actually uses up MUCH MORE.

seriously people should stop trying to act like they wanna help raise awareness
when they themselves aren't actually advocates themselves..
they are just attention seekers.

FYI.
i did donate $5 to the SINGAPORE RED CROSS through my school's fundraising drive
i sat in pitchdarkness writing this because my sisters' wanted to celebrate EARTH HOUR..zzz
i am not an advocate of anything..
AND this post is not directed at anyone in particular
PEACE.

2011-03-19T22:33:00.003+08:00

many years have passed since i started this blog.
now, i am no longer someone who needs to write down all her feelings on pen and paper
or blog abt her daily life for all to see.

but just because i no longer do that,
doesnt mean that i dun need the world to see me anymore.
just because i dun tweet, chat on msn, or leave facebook updates
doesnt mean i am invisible.

i thought that i can connect with my friends on other channels.
like meeting up for a meal, or just to talk over tea, or over sms or phone?
but no one evers ask me out, or calls me other than my own boyfriend.

am i really that pathetic?
do i really think i have friends when in fact i have none?
why is it that i am always the one asking, trying and making an effort and the one being rejected?

i really dont want to feel this way.
But i am constantly being reminded to stay clear-minded
and be mindful that 'though you have many friends, many arent true. you have plentiful of 小人 around you'

what should i believe in?
:(

2010-10-01T23:44:00.002+08:00

i am not really looking forward to turning 21..
i don't know why,
but i don't want it to come yet.

i don't like the feeling of not having a choice
of being thrown into another phase of life
whether i like it or not.

this feeling's not great at all. :(

2010-09-18T00:14:00.049+08:00

here is my birthday wishlist for my 21st birthday:

cheers, diana

2010-01-19T22:32:00.009+08:00

I havent been blogging again as usual.
It must have been that i was using my time to do other things!
I guess i am just not someone that can stay on the computer 24/7,
play facebook games all day long or chat on msn.

Internet is getting boring to me, and i dont know why! LOL!!

anyways, i miss my girlfriends jodee and shuli!!

cant wait for them to return ASAP from canada!

_____________________________________________________________________

Last week, i treated boyfriend to Sushi Tei.
because i told him tt i would since i was going to collect
my pay for the 2 day Cenosis event!

BUTTTTT I AM so unhappy with Cenosis.
They paid me $50 bucks less then what i was supposed to get,
and i was only told so when i went to collect the paycheck.
TOTALLY RUINED MY MOOD THAT MONDAY AFTERNOON.
furthermore i cabbed down to their office because
i missed my stop while taking the bus and totally got lost!

luckily boyfriend agreed to pei me watch movie afterwards
so spending time with him cheered me up and
helped me get over the issue.

___________________________________________________________________

on last Friday, i also went out with Yuzhen, Penny and Shiyi.
Its so hard for all four of us to meet up nowadays!

Penny is always so busy!!!
She rushed off after an hour and a half too that day
to go meet her dad to buy her Iphone. Tsktsk!!

at Marche...

there are barely any photos of yuzhen and shiyi in my blog
because they ALWAYS dun want to take pictures!!
so here is an old photo taken about one yr plus ago of us 4!

2010-01-03T23:51:00.003+08:00

i hope my little sister's 1st day of school at
Teck Whye Secondary would be great!

and that she can trust me with any of her problems..

2010-01-03T23:38:00.004+08:00

for 2 years i thought i knew what was going on

that it was so clear who the guilty party was
and who was the innocent, the pitiful, the sad..

now that i know i have been truly wrong all these while
what should i believe in then?

what truth is there to believe in anymore?
how i wish i can just do something about it -
scream, cry like a spoilt child,
find fault, make a din,
force a brutal confession,
find a way to make sense of things

but is it all worth it?
would it make it all better?
would i see the light that i desire and solve everything?

or would it only make things worse?
sometimes its best to stay silent and pretend that nothing's happened.

2009-12-31T00:54:00.005+08:00

'the year is coming to an end'
nic said this in a solemn tone..

should i feel sad about
the mistakes i made
the wrong decisions i took and
the blunders i committed this year
and be relieved that it marks the end of 2009?

or should i be glad that its finally closure to a fruitful year
and that the start of 2010 is an optimistic one too?

i would say that this year had its ups and downs for me
i cried my eyes out countless times
BUT i smiled and laughed many times more.

______________________________________________________________________________

in this post, i would also like to thank all the lovely people
that celebrated christmas with me this year
and gave me presents!!

cookies, cards and delights from Christian Fellowship friends

presents from shuli and jodee

billabong slippers from my elder sis

range of skin care products, merci chocolates and a water bottle from my mum!

forever 21 denim white jacket given by beloved nic!!

_____________________________________________________________________

here i would also like to tell my dear friend shuli
that i miss her!

take care in montreal for the next 5 months :)

2009-12-10T14:01:00.003+08:00

So far, this week has been a lonely week for me.

although i did go out with my ex Recruit Express colleagues,
& my mum and sister earlier in the week,
i still feel like i didnt do much!
maybe it is because nicholas is not around and i miss him alot!

and then, when i read some blogs on the internet,
and see people talk about their dates with their bfs..
i wish for time to past as fast as possible!

in fact, i want friday night to come soon, like NOW!
i just cant wait for my nicholas to return and give him a big hug!

2009-11-29T18:52:00.005+08:00

i will return to uploading the phuket pictures but at a later time!!
first, i wanna upload my kite flying pictures!!!!!!
WHEE!!

on the 27th NOVEMBER, Friday,
me and nic went to Marina Barrage at 10am to fly kite finally!

the weather was very hot on that day
and i sweated so much!! :P

this is such a cute shot of dear nic :P

i love my boyfriend so much!!

2009-11-23T23:48:00.005+08:00

I WAS BACK FROM PHUKET SINCE LAST WED AT 12AM!!!
yeah, almost a week ago but only blogging now..
HAHA, arent i slow right??

anyway, it was a trip with my two sisters and my mum..
and we havent had a holiday all together since 4 yrs ago..

anyways, i am really lazy to blog everything now..
so here are just some preview pics of the trip!

DAY 1

the view out of the plane was terrific!

the hotel we stayed at was Rayaburi Hotel Phuket
and it is highly recommended by me!!

the Loft Wing section was only completed in early November
and the rooms and toilets were so clean and spacious!!

DIOR lipgloss my mum bought for us at the DFS :)

The hotel was very near the beach!
so we headed out on the streets of phuket for an early dinner
after putting our luggages in the hotel

the streets were lined with so many massage shops
that provided thai and oil massages, maniure and pedicure services etc.

so we decided to paint our lovely nails :)

thats all for this post.
not in the mood to blog anymore because of certain things.

haiz, i dunno why some say i have many friends.
do i actually have THAT many friends??

i wished i did..

2009-11-13T00:48:00.002+08:00

hi guys,
i am going on yet another island holiday in the sun in 12 hours!
OMG right!!!

i arent really excited yet since this trip is so rushed
and my family only confirmed our hotel bookings today!

hopefully it would be a fun family trip for my sisters, my mum and i.
goodbye singapore & hello phuket!

2009-11-13T00:12:00.009+08:00

2009-11-02T23:33:00.006+08:00

If you did not know, my mum gave me money to get a new phone
for my birthday last month..
The Sony Ericsson Jalou :D

it is a really small phone and very pretty!!
and it is purple in colour! MY FAVOURITE!!

Anyway, from the pictures, Jalou is indeed smaller in size
as compared to the Nokia E71 and ITouch..
Furthermore it is only 84g! SUPER LIGHTTT!

It also comes equipped with a 3.2 megapix camera with digital zoom
a mirror function and much more....!

Some other impressive phones from Sony Ericsson include the
Yari, Satio and Aino!
Satio is an incredible phone with a 12.1 megapix camera!
Can you believe it??!!
..even better than my olympus camera :S

check out what cool deals SIngtel, Starhub and M1
have in store for these new phones respectively!!

micheal jackson this is it movie tickets,
angela chang's meet and greet session tickets,
and Fahrenheit showcase tickets all to be won respectively!!

2009-10-26T12:21:00.005+08:00

hmmm, i am finally here to finish up my blogpost
on my birthday celebrations :)

_______________________________________________________________________

CELEBRATION WITH MY SOCIOLOGY MATES

We went to Holland V to dine at Gyu Kaku.
It is a Japanese restuarant that is wellknown for its BBQ beef!

Unlike Seoul Garden
where food is bbq-ed over a metal plate on the table,

Gyu Kaku uses a charcoal burner placed below a metal griller
so the beef cooked retains much of its seasoning flavour
and taste superb!!

Gyu Kaku also serves ramen, but its not really nice.
Perhaps its because i tasted better ramen at Marutama in Central :)

anyways, Gyu Kaku would be an ideal place to go to
if u want to savour authentic japanese bbq beef.

Location: to the left of Wala Wala in Holland V,
Pricing: $18 - $60++ for a plate of beef to bbq

surprise surprise that my friends made
when i went for lecture :D

charcoal burner used to cook the beef!

ramen from Gyu Kaku that is served in stone bowls.

the chocolate birthday cake my friends bought!

The presents that Deanne, Sharon, Harrison, Isaac & JiRen
bought for me :
-Paul Frank Tanktop set
-Paul Frank necklace
-Birthday card and photograph
-lovely chocolate birthday cake!

2009-10-21T10:44:00.005+08:00

i think my blog is getting really stale nowadays!

anyways, i would like to thank all the friends and family members
that wished me happy birthday for my 20th birthday last wednesday.
all the lovely smses, calls, emails, fb messages were greatly appreciated :D

though there was still disappointment in one particular person
whom i knew for such a long time,
that didnt bother to contact me in any way :(
i actually thought that the person would do so but i guess i am wrong.

but oh wells, i am just not going to be bothered by such things!
i guess certain friends can just be fair-weathered friends
even if u have already known them for so many years.

_______________________________________________________________________

moving on, i celebrated the 1st bday celebration
on the 4th October during a 4e3 class outing to East Coast Park!
it was a great outing whereby we went cycling and had dinner.

Some people did leave early, and some came late as usual
but i stayed throughout the whole outing :D

some pictures of the wonderful time spent!
where are the cycling pics? STILL WITH JODEE BABE!!
so i dun have the cycling pics with me yet!

anyways i gotta rush to meet nic now!!
so i will finish this blog post another time :D

2009-10-08T14:09:00.002+08:00

today is another day to myself,
whereby i get to laze around at home,
watch all the tv i want, surf the net,
get something to eat from the fridge every few mintues.

its great not having to give a care about anything
in particular, other than myself.

but i wonder, is there going to be responsibility
placed upon my shoulders
when i step into the 20s in a few days time?

because no longer can i give the excuse
that i am still a teenager,
i am only nighteen years old, i am still young!

because i would be an adult, and learn to be like one.

__________________________________________________________________

on a brighter note,
i learned not to take things too hard.
Previously, i cried over a tuition student that gave me problems.
that, was really not necessary.

2009-10-01T14:29:00.003+08:00

i really do hate sore throats and flu,
especially when they dun go away QUICKLY!

haish, i really wanna get well!
it feels so digusting to be sick :(

on a brighter note, nic came over ytd morning to see me
and spend time with me :D
AND came over again in the night,
to fetch me to my grandparents' house
so that he can pass his old clothes to my grandma to sell
at her booth in the flea market at her bousing estate this sat!

I really appreciate it SO MUCH!!

OH, and CONGRATS TO MY DEAR NIC FOR
WINNING BOTH THE MEN's DOUBLES and MIXED DOUBLES
BADMINTON MATCHES for the CCA WEEK!!

YAYNESS TO THE $250 CAPITALAND SHOPPING VOUCHERS :D

its a cold friday night,
and i dunno, i just was all bored and alone in the living room
because everyone else is already sleeping as usual..

AND GUESS WHAT, blogger is finally working well!!
YAY!

oh, and another thing to note:
i realized that i can leave voice messages on nic's phone
whenever i cannot get through to him!
ITS SO COOL!! and i have been spamming his phone ever since
i realized that it was possible yesterday! :)

PICTURES OF OUR TRIP TO KUSU ISLAND:

btw, if anyone is interested to know,
Kusu Island is one of the offshore islands of Singapore
currently owned by Sentosa.

We can travel there by the ferry service
from the Marina South Pier, but no overnight
staying is allowed on the island!

It is a very very simple island, with basically no shops at all
other than the chinese temple and malay shrine on the hill.

However there are swimming lagoons there
and it is a quiet place for relaxation at a cheap price.

All in all, it was an unforgettable trip for me and nic :)

_____________________________________________________________________

THE DAY I WENT TO FARMART

there are no pictures to show
because farmart is a total disaster!

I thought that it would be an interesting place with farms,
animals, vegetation and things to see etc.

BUT it was a dead village with nothing to offer.
I believe that all other visitors
would have felt the same way as me - DISAPPOINTED :(

the only picture i took is of nic drinking
his JIA JIA tea while waiting for the shuttle bus to
send us back to Lot 1.

_____________________________________________________________________

some other random pictures of me and nic :P
AND my campaign poster for POSSE's event at Plaza Sing last week.

2009-09-15T00:57:00.003+08:00

2009-09-14T22:29:00.006+08:00

OMG!! i have no idea what is wrong with the internet these days!

i dun know if it is just my network or what,
but blogger has been seriously screwed up for the past 3 months!
and that is mainly the reason why i havddzent been blogging!!
ARGHHHH!

anyway, does anyone still checks out my blog these days?
HMMM..

anyway, blogger doesnt have the photo loading function for me SINCE 3 months ago!
so i am just going to post two videos..

because i realized that korean group bands
are getting so hot and famous all over the world nowadays!!

did u know:
The Wondergirls were the opening act for Jonas Brothers World Tour in US for a few states?

1st Video ---> Girl Generation's - Tell Me Your Wish (Genie)

and the people i meet! :)

and also, thanks to nic for visiting me during the PC Show
and being there for me as always..
hugs!

2009-06-06T23:37:00.003+08:00

take note: this is supposed to be saturday's post

WHEE! NIC IS FINALLY BACK FROM MSIA!
and he bought me a mega sized pencil,
a shirt from Roxy and kinder surprise!

he sure knows how to cheer me up with peculiar cute stuff! :)

anyways, today after he returned the car at queensway,
we went to the queensway shopping centre
to get brown shoes for his work at Sentosa which starts tmr!

then i also look around for sports bra, bag and shoes
but i ended up buying only my contact lenses solution..
and nic splashed $121 on his shoes and bag!
met michelle, pebbles and samuel there too.. HAHA
they are a great bunch of friends :)

after that, nic and me headed over to bugis to go BHG
to see the mega sale..
was planning to buy my ZA foundation or makeup stuff
but i ended up buying a whole load of lingerie
with nic having to queue for me first!

thanks so much for the patience nic :P

i also bought Levi's boxer shorts for girls..

sorry but i want to show off my lovely shorts! HAHA!
they are uber cute!

anyways, i had a great day ytd and nic sent me home..
totally enjoy spending time with him
though i have no photographic evidence
because i didnt bring my camera out!

anyways i am going out now.. ttfn!

2009-06-05T21:50:00.012+08:00

nic is coming back in 2 hrs or so..
I JUST CANT WAIT!!!

been missing him while he was away
on an uber exciting roadtrip
with the badminton peeps in malaysia!!

meanwhile, while the badm gang was away on holiday
i was working for Clarins at Centrepoint
for the past 3 days.
it was nontheless exhausting and tiring,
but i made great friends Jeane and Elaine!!

btw, the girl in the last pic has the
exact same surname as me!
and she is called ELAINE CHEONG..
JUST LIKE MY LITTLE SISTER!

what a coincidence!

also, previously on Monday,
i met up with laopo Yuzhen and gay son Shiyi
for lunch at Seoul Garden

I totally lovelovelove buffets :)

we also went bowling!!
HAVENT USED HOUSE BALLS IN AGES AGES AGES!

but i only brought my bowling shoes so bo bian
plus i havent bowled in eons
if i bring my personal ball there and bowl a super lousy score
its really paiseh one

luckily i didnt bring my ball..
look at my score and the 2st two frames
SUPER JIALAT la..
and shit me for being only a pt away from 100

btw, our names were ErZi, PaPa (ME!), Mummy

either of them wanted to camwhore with me AS USUAL
so i only have pics of me
with the superb ice kachang they made
and marvellous icecream at citylink mall
HAHA

on sunday last week, i also celebrated nic's bday!
went shopping for his present with
jonas, weishun, jingxiang and jodee
on saturday at Lot 1

contemplated so long about whether to buy a belt or a bag for him
so i bought a Levi's bag for him first
with the thought that a bag is a more
substantial gift than a belt!

however, on sunday after giving nic the levi's bag gift,
and telling him the entire grandmother's story
about the shopping dilemma the day before..
he mentioned that his one and only usable belt was spoilting

......................................................
yeah, that was how i felt!
so we ended up going to change the bag to a belt
and buying branded Levi's boxers to top up
the remainder of the amount!

i love the red boxers i chose for him :)
HAHA, that sounds wrong!

here are pictures of the Ripcurl slippers, and Levi's belt i bought for him
including the red boxers!
a chocolate slice of bday cake that i bought
and lovely us :)

btw, the chocolate cakes that Fourleaves
may seem cheap and low-class la
but they really taste nice.
I LOVEEEEE!

btw, i look like some hamster with fat cheeks in the last pic
but an ugly hamster at that!
maybe i should go learn photoshop someday
then i can perhaps tweet some of my ugly pictures
to make them look nicer!

just like how the celebrity bloggers look hot when they may not
HAHA!!

2009-06-03T10:27:00.003+08:00

hmmm, i am heading out for work soon..
though i kinda dread the long hours standing around
waiting for customers to come by..
RAHH.. 2 more days to go only!!

meanwhile, nic and the badminton peeps are all
on a roadtrip in malaysia!!
I so wanted to go with them too
but i already agreed to the agent to work so no choice :(

anyways, i hope they have fun!!
and buy back lots of chewing gum and biscuits for me~~! hee!

here are some pics taken when jingxiang came back from brunei :)

2009-05-30T22:14:00.002+08:00

i hope i will get well by tomorrow..
so that i can celebrate a proper birthday for nic..

GET WELL SOON DIANA! :P

2009-05-27T01:32:00.002+08:00

gosh, blogger and facebook are both so screwed up!
i couldnt tag finish the pictures in fb
and i wasnt able to blog any post the past few days!!

but anyways, to update my current status:
EXAMS ARE FINALLY OVER!!
and i spent a total of around $350
since the end of exams last thurs!!

the money went to:
eating good food
transportation
rebonding my hair
new earpieces
cosmetics
movies
buying a beanie and shoes

boy do i seriously need to watch my spendings
after spending a bomb in a mere 6 days!!!!!!
while still being jobless :S

anyways, i will post pictures up another day!

so is nic!
hopefully we get well soon by tomorrow!!!

2009-05-19T00:17:00.002+08:00

DIANA CHEONG IS TRYING REALLY HARD TO PSYCHO HERSELF TO STUDY!!!!

and also, thanks nic for accompanying me to study
even though ur exams are over already!
*hugs* :)

2009-05-14T23:58:00.002+08:00

i think that i am very very very very good at
staying focused, THE OPPOSITE! :S

haiz.. i seriously cant just stay glued to my seat
for more than half an hour at home studying!! HAHA!!

thats really bad i think..
its like i just cannot stop myself from walking around
or finding something to eat in the kitchen
in the cupboard, on the dining table..
or switching on the tv to switch random channels
or surfing the net, watching youtube videos, reading blogs..
etc etc etc..

oh well.. diana please focus for a few more days!! :)

2009-05-11T23:16:00.004+08:00

my student said i didnt blog.. HAHA
but true enough actually..
havent blog in almost a month..
but i have been playing Facebook Farmhouse every single day!!

OH MY GOSH RIGHT??

my elder sis thinks it a total joke and lameness
so did my lil sis INITIALLY till she decided to join along
in the lameness..

i wont be surprised if i see my elder sis playing it
SOMEDAY SOON!!!! :)

anyways, i just cant wait for exams to be over..
and to go on my holiday
and do all the ultimate slacking i want!!

but i did go out with jodee and shuli for lunch during the past few weeks
and with nic and his friend
and with my supper buddy
and with alvin, chuan and jonas
haha.. though i am controlling on my purchases
so tt i can save more for my holiday trip!!!

and flowers for my mum on mother's day :)

2009-04-14T20:48:00.003+08:00

my prelim grades were pretty bad :(
somewhat disappointed in myself,
though it was expected..
i really got to do well for the actual exams
that are just less than a month away..

but then again, mugging is just boring..
who enjoys it!

and gosh, my exams end later than so many other pple..

Hanging out with Nic:

2009-03-20T12:42:00.004+08:00

life has been a blast lately!
prelims ended exactly a week ago for me..
and i am just waiting to take the ultimate exams in may!!!

gosh do i feel scared..
which is crazy
its like going back to A'Levels all over again 1 year plus back..

anyways,
LAST FRIDAY---
after my socio paper,
i went for lunch at the cathay
with my sociology lecture mates
ate sushi buffet!!! WHEE!

then my friend sharon drove me to suntec to meet my elder sis
who was at the IT fair
and we finally bought my new laptop
its a Toshiba M300 :)
super love it!

* however tt day, the laptop was sold out already
so i went down again on sun to collect it

after which i went to SP for badm after a SUPER LONG hiatus
and we ate supper and chitchat
and celebrated lien's and junliang's bday till
the wee hours of the morning!
and i reached home at 4AM!

SATURDAY----
slept like a freakin pig till late in the afternoon
and went to clarke quay to have
a post bday celebration for alvin
really glad tt pple like hafidz jieying and even WENFENG
made it for the outing :)

ate Mr Curry and we kinda splited into grps:
wenfeng, yuan and tharer went to match the Man-u VS Liverpool match
at the big arena in clarkequay with other similar
screaming hyper energetic crazy fans

the couple went on their dates

jonas went to club at St James AGAIN..haha

and me, alvin, shuli and shun settled down at TCC
for chitchatting, gossiping and just bonding time :)

really glad this small grp of us are still in contact
and hope we will remain this way as long as possible..
as i do wanna see my beloved friends getting married
and having children!! HEE

SUNDAY ---

went for tuition
then met nic to head down to the IT Fair to collect my laptop

MONDAY ---

i met up with my S14 lovettes
penny and yuzhen for karaoke on monday
before heading to yishun to study

TUESDAY ---
econs lecture ..ZZZ

THURSDAY ---
which was yesterday,
i went to teach tuition
and then
i went for leisure badminton
and basically slacked through the day

hmmm,
so far i think i am happy and contented with where i am headed
not that confused like before and feeling lost anymore

i am glad i have my close friends' support
and their advice and their listening ears when i have stuff to complain

lastly, to a certain someone
i dunno why it happened or what caused the friction
but its time to stop avoiding
to stop blaming each other for whatever small little matters it was
tt made it so hard to reconcile
is it worth it to throw a friendship away just like that after all these years?

2009-03-05T11:53:00.005+08:00

i SO feel like slacking and just lazing around,
without a single care in this world..

BUT, there is never really enough time for me to do that
to just say, hey, i JUST dun wanna care about anything
i dun wanna be bothered
by hectic schedules
by school exams
or anything in particular..

i have NO IDEA why i cant just stop thinking about what
lies ahead later today,
or the day after, or the week after........

i just want to sit back
and have time to comtemplate
about simple nonsensical no-brainer stuff all day long

i think its the fault of the recent rainy days
i wanna busk in their lightness and carefree-ness
but i cant
:(

2009-03-01T00:20:00.002+08:00

i am finally done with 2 prelim papers!

2009-02-12T00:56:00.031+08:00

last thurs, i went to a restaurant in Shaw Centre
to LAO YU SHENG,
or should i say, have a CNY dinner with my badm peeps!

although intially, i wasnt that keen on going!

1. i am not a fan of chinese restaurant cuisine.
normally out of perhaps 8 dishes i probably eat 4 only..

2. the dinner was not cheap!

3. i had tuition to teach :S (which i cancelled thereafter)

BUT, i enjoyed the dinner surprisingly..
wasnt too bad!
and the company of my lovely badm peeps made it all worthwhile :P

then hmmm, previously for CNY and before CNY,
i had a couple of steamboats!

one of which was with my Sociology mates
and we went to Harrison's house to eat and drink
and play Indian Poker!!

_____________________________________________________________________________

i also had steam boat at home..

_______________________________________________________________________________

then, i also organised a 4e3 GROUP gathering,

hmmm, this yr, it was held at alvin's place again,
just like last yr..

btw, pple, please try not to pang seh outings k!
we hardly meet up already!
we need to stay uniteddddd!!

____________________________________________________________________________

then, me, alvin, yuan, kenn, chuan, and shun
went to jing en's house to make Wii too previously during
the CNY period :)

________________________________________________________________________

then on thurs, i went out with yuzhen and shiyi to JP
to celebrate V DAY tgt :)

ate swensens
but they didnt want to take any pictures as usual :S

_____________________________________________________________________________

then on FRIDAY 13th,
a particularly unlucky day some say,
since its black friday..

i went out with my lovable girls jodee and shuli!!
to celebrate V DAY a 2nd time in orchard :)

the lovely bouquet of roses
me and jodee got for shuli!

jodee had flyaway hair!!

awww, shuli feels so touched!

___________________________________________________________________

the sunflower tt shuli gave me <3s!!

____________________________________________________________________

camwhoring with the chocolates from shuli :S

______________________________________________________________________

the present from jodee :)

____________________________________________________________________________

free MEIJI chocolates we got along orchard road!
we were so greedy we took 3 bars each
HAHA!

___________________________________________________________________________

the beautiful cake me and jodee bought for shuli!

____________________________________________________________________________

lychee vomit (inside joke) :P

________________________________________________________________________________

AWWWWW~!!! so sweet!!

____________________________________________________________________________

guess who is this hideous looking thing! :P

______________________________________________________________________________

jodee was not feeling well by evening time,
get well soon girl!!
no mood to pose for pictures le :(

________________________________________________________________________________

jodee left early while me and shuli cont shopping at far east a while
before heading to wisma to find jonas and his poly friends

hung around awhile be4 we left for home..

all in all, i am glad i have my friends here with me..
and though we are no longer in the same school or course..
or see each other often..
i know tt, i have u friends for life :)

2009-02-09T01:02:00.001+08:00

oh gosh, yes,
the blogskin which i copied from blogskins totally faltered!!

so i decided to just do my own..
with of course copying HTML codes from here and there..

sorry if it looks a little bit narcissistic :S
thought it could make the blog a little more personalised
compared to before :P

anyways, i am unable to blog any more because i am feeling really tired..
just got back from the badminton chalet this morning..

and went to teach 2 tuitions after taking a short rest at home..

so yeaps, tired!!!

will see if i can do a post soon..
before i start studying for finals full speed!

so good night people!

2009-01-27T19:15:00.004+08:00

hmmm, this year's new year wasnt really fun..
since alot of relatives werent around
my elder sis is away in maldives
and my dad didnt go visiting with us too :S

anw, another major change happened in my life..
its definitely NOT a change to rejoice about,
in fact at times i wonder if i would regret it..

but its a change that is irreversible..
still, i will cherish the memories we shared..

1st day of CHINESE NEW YEAR:

______________________________________________________________________

2nd day of CHINESE NEW YEAR

2009-01-19T00:16:00.000+08:00

ever since the new year started..
i am starting to feel the stress
totally coming back.

its like, i thought i would be able to handle things
a lil bit better this year
but sad to say,
nothing isnt really easier in any way..

i am still working just as hard AGAIN..
having the SAME OLD PROBLEMS..
stuck in the same current almost dreadful situations.

why is it, tt i feel my life is completely dysfunctional?

-adding on, i havent studied for an economics test tmr morning :S-

2009-01-11T00:51:00.005+08:00

everything's such a blur nowadays,
not exactly a total mess or a disaster
but more like i have no idea what i am exactly doing..

i am unable to even make my new yr resolution list this year,
how pathetic right?

thats why its like a blur,
like a fog is surrounding me and i have no idea which way to go
or like what i wanna do or react.

this yr, i dunno what i wanna achieve,
i have no particular aims except the usual,
of course doing well in studies, good health etc blah blah blah
its kinda frustrating
because i wanna have a NEW RESOLUTION for the NEW YEAR..

its kinda ironic if i always
make the same few resolutions every single yr right?

OH WELL, discovered a few strands of white hair popping out again..
am i really tt stressed?
why on earth are my scalp cells dying??!
argh, but whatever,
i am still goin to exterminate the white vermins on my head :S

also, my elder sis has left for the maldives already.
1 year isnt exactly too short or too long
its kinda subjective
BUT to me, its definitely the latter
she's FAMILY afterall..

anyways, enough of my rantings..
pple barely read them
since they claim its too small to read..

so i'll just post some pics of a lunch with my dear cousins from australia
at JACK'S PLACE

2009-01-05T23:16:00.002+08:00

although i have lived in this world for over 19 years,

i totally cant believe my existence is so small and minuet!!

really hate it when my sisters bully me.
really feel like a loser? :(
