Welcome to andra's diary..
Friday, February 29, 2008Y

Last Sat, i went to sentosa with cm, xiang n sy. we didn't really have a plan of wad to do for the day.. at 1st was in quite a rush too cuz had to go out earlier than expected..and it made me very flustered. but when i saw my sisters, i started to enjoy!! =)
1st we went Westmall to meet up, also to fetch xiang from tuition n sy cuz westmall is nearer to her place rather than just meeting at sentosa. we shopped a bit (cuz the parking is hourly, so die die muz park an hour haha!) then on the way to sentosa, at clementi, we saw a fatal car accident... very scary.. got black tent somemore.. altho it made us a bit sad, it didn't stop us from turning into Sunset way to have ice cream cones =p it was hilarious how we dripped ice cream all over the place and so afraid the security would come and chase us away. i felt like a teenager again! lolzz..
then we proceed to sentosa.. good timing too, cuz the sun became brighter.. we cycled for an hour.. walked around, had dinner at the food court.. then went to imbiah to watch the music fountain. altho we were standing very far from the fountain, the view was very good! the effects looked nicer too! next time dun waste the $$ to go inside le.. haha.. juz stand outside n watch..
after that, we went to Cafe Del Mar.. ok it didnt start off well.. i forgot my wallet, so i didnt have my i/c with me. then the security very bad one! keep insisting on checking my ic!!! i told him, how abt u check my debit card? it's from NUS. (cuz my card was with cm) then he say cannot tell my age one.. super pissed off ok? NUS still got underage de meh?? and mine was issued in 2005 leh. now aleadi 2008.. WTH then i became angry and say, how abt credit card? i got credit card too. wan to check? (altho i knew that credit card oso cannot tell age de la.. but juz .?@!#)
then i told him "I'm 23 aledi leh!!" then the manager i think.. say ok la. can come in. stupid security! =(
anyway, we quickly forgot abt it and entertained ourselves by choosing which alcohol to try. cant remember what we order at 1st, but there was one called "Screaming orgasm". so juz wanna try out ma, then we decided to order lo.. but the waiter.. is some cheena man... veri funny.. tell him "i wan this martini and that rainbow and this screaming orgasm", he went "huh? what?" so i repeated "screaming orgasm!" wah lau so paiseh liao still ask me to repeat! then i juz point to the menus and say "nah! this one la!" then he said "oh.. screaming orgas, okok"
-_- dotz dotz.. after that we aleadi feel it's not funny anymore..?!
anyway, here sy with our 1/2 dozen shots of Sex by the beach:
and 1/2 dozen empty shot glasses. hehe.. it was quite a nice drink.. but i admit i onli drank 1/2 of a shot.. i cant take strong alcohol la~! >_<
lying on the sofa/bed, trying not to fall asleep..
sy n xiang! =)
we reached home quite late.. next day i still had tuition. but it was fun n relaxing! =) hope we can hang out again..

ytd, cuimei gave me xx n teresa a real treat.. she brought us for dinner at Equinox, with 50% staff discount! the restaurant is at level 70, and i got an awful ear block just taking the lift up. but the view is worth it!
i dun haf much photos wif me.. cuz my cammie was out of batt =( so still waiting for tere to send us! but here's wad i have... my soup, some lobster and mud crab thingy.. cant remember.. only know it's $18.. @_@ it's not bad.. there's strong taste of seafood.. like crab or prawn lidat.. then the lobster meat was nice too.. but after drinking the whole thing, u'll find it too creamy n salty. mabe shd share wif another, or add some pepper to it..
1st time i saw a lamb shank dish like this.. normally when i order lamb shank, i expect it to be super huge.. i was realli hungry, so i was waiting for my meat to come.. but it didn't turn out as huge as i expected.. i must say they cook it very well.. they even ask if i wanted it medium or well-done.. i tot i ordered steak instead.. the meat was very very tender and juicy, not too salty, with rich flavour form the indian kind of beans as side dish. i loved it! but will love it even more if there were more pieces.. afterall.. it's $46... veri ex.. for me la..

in the end the bill was ard $340++.. but luckily with cuimei's discount, it was $170+++. so in the end we paid $45 each lo.. hehe.. veri nice experience.. eat high class food makes me a bit out of the place.. but realli like the ambience there, and also the magnificient view down at the padang, esplanade, clarke quay.. and the rest of the city beaming with lights.. and we talked.. such a nice feeling.. been a long time since we last chatted.

everyone's been so busy.. it very hard to organise gatherings now.. hope we can have more time to meet up again..

i changed my blogskin.. juz for fun..

today a realli scary thing happened in NUS.. a crane at a construction site beside the former law fac, now SoC fac, tumbled down n crashed to the ground.. it fell juz 2 metres away from the bustop, which was full of students waiting for bus A1/A2 to go for lessons at 2pm.. if the crane fall at a slight angle diff, the whole thing could have crushed the bustop, and everyone beneath it.. Cm says he saw them all running frantically away from the bustop.. i can hardly imagine the shock they felt. suddenly such a massive metal crane crashed beside u, bringing down a tree together with it.. realli fortunate that it didnt fall on the bustop.. otherwise no matter how the ppl run, they won't be fast enough as non of them saw it coming.

I'm so thankful that cm was lazy to get out after the lec! that he had a proj meeting later in the afternoon n he decided to stay in tut rm to do work, and not go take bus too, like the rest of his frens!!

life is unpredictable.. anything can happen.. so muz treasure ur life...

know wad? i lost my phone again... ytd after taking taxi to marsiling pri for meeting, i left my phone in the car... realli veri sad.. abt 2yrs ago, me and cm decided to buy the same hp model, samsung one... but after a few mths, i lost mine in Mac's!!!! dat time i was realli devastated. $400+ was a huge sum of money to lose, plus it was our phone!!! T_T

and then recently, cuz he wanted to try my sony ericsson phone, i exchanged my phone wif his samsung one.. which is the exact same one i lost abt 1.5 yrs ago...!! am i realli not fated to use samsung phone?! but anyway, i wasn't really upset abt the lost this time, perhaps bcuz the value of the phone is only $50 now, and maybe bcuz i have much more stressful things occupying my tiny brain, or perhaps also bcuz i felt my life is already such a mess, losing my hp can hardly compare. no matter wad.. juz glad my sony ericsson was wif him.. so it is not lost.. plus luckily xiang's contract was finishing, so cm can use it to buy a new phone... he was planning to change it 3 weeks later after his own contract is up.. i guess i pushed the plan forward a bit for him.. =p

today, i met up wif hs, cuimei, teresa, hm and her bf junchen for lunch..
we went for dessert at Out of The Pan! the dishes were all prettily designed, and it seems like they do not follow a template, they are simply good at art! we know this cuz cuimei ordered one of the dessert b4, and the design and arrangement of the plate was different! anyway, i dun realli care wad designs la.. most impt is that the food was great!!

1. Rainbow forest (?), veri nice combi of vanilla ice cream with pineapple, mango and rasberry sherbet... refreshing!!



2. Choc maniac - a think layer of soft choc cake lining around the ice cream.. very nice too, but not as interesting as the 1st one. haha.. 3. forgot the name.. but it's choc crepe with choc ice cream and banana.. yes the crepe is choc flavoured! not the normal crepe.. veri nice and soft and chewy.. n veri pretty too...
all of them veri pretty rite..? hehe.. after dat we went shop a bit, afterwhich me n cuimei n cm and hm went to watch chingay as hs managed to get tickets for us! went to padang to check out the crowds for chingay.. realli crowded.. after being told that we are not allowed to wait at the barricades in front of the padang, we went to the Area 5 that hs got seats for us.. but we went the wrong way and as all roads were blocked, we took a loooong and ardous route b4 we finally managed to find our seats... but as the seats were in the last area of the parade, we had to wait till 9pm b4 we saw our 1st float... altho we were quite high during the 1st part, esp when the F1 racing car came, our energy faded away after the 1st half hour or so... tiring!! next time i wanna get the 1st area seats! overall, chingay was fun and amazing, but also tiring... thx hweeshan!!



NUS Sheares Hall Rag n Flag Day Float..:


but the one tt left the deepest impression me had to be this one from the Taiwan Yuan Zhu Ming group.. their costumes were.... no costumes! the guys were practically naked, except for a small piece of cloth covering the front side of their .. ahem... smthg like wearing a G-string.. but the G-string is much thicker and stuck in between the butt cheeks. ouch! how to dance lidat? lolz.. their dance was quite cute.. veri simple.. but i really admire them for their courage to dance naked in front of a whole island of ppl, plus broadcast over on TV!! hahaha..


the japanese group oso had smthg lidat, where the guys onli covered their pte parts with a piece of cloth, and then it was their birthday suits. but at least their cloth was a much bigger piece.. haha.. not so @_@??? yet..


this time round seems like they are more open... hmm how to put it.. there were quite a number of guys cross-dressing as girls this yr.. short of manpower? esp the 3 flower kan-kan "girls" with super duper mini skirts in the pre-parade.. from the way they criss-cross their legs and twitching their perky butt (not perkier than mine! haha) in rhythm to the music, i suspect they are more than juz cross-dressers.. they sure look happy in that outfit tho! haha..


chingay again next yr? maybe, if i can get the tix! =p

my dad threw away my chili seedlings!!! T____T i picked them myself, cm plant them n mum water them daily, how can he throw them away!! even if they r dying, oso cannot throw!! T__T I WAN MY BABY CHILI PLANT BACK!

juz came back from Rabobank concert.. then found them gone. so sad!! anyway, realli enjoyed the rabobank performance... always find it veri fun as the songs are not difficult, feels great to be performing voluntarily again and can see many old frens.. altho now there's more new faces =p almost felt like i was back in the past, juz a student... carefree and happy.. how i wish i can go back! i know it's wrong to keep looking back.. or u will nv move forward... but i juz miss those days so much!

i find that i've changed so much over these 1 and half yrs of working life.. i've learnt the hard cold ways of life, that life in Sg is veri practical, achievement driven, and a person is not valued as a person per say, but valued for his work done. the more work he does, the more value he adds to himself. of cuz all bosses wans all workers to work hard, but they are also humans. sometimes, bosses tend to forget that. esp those who have maids at home.. pls respect ur maid!! they are also humans.. scold them if they make mistakes, but reward them when they've done well!!

i think the more i learn abt the working world, the more pessimistic i become.. but i am still veri naive at this point of time. i keep forgetting, and juz expect tt everyone comes with goodwill.. keep forgetting that i'm no longer juz a carefree student.. but a working adult with PR skills yet to master.. how many times muz i remind myself to look out?! pls lilian dun be so dumb le. grow up! =(

anyway, had a great night with the alumni co.. at least brought back happy memories! =)

today is 大年初一.. and as usual, went to bai nian...

1st, went to cm's house to visit his parents.. then after having lunch, rushed back home to fetch mummy n xiang to go jerlyn's place.. at 1st i was juz wearing a neon pink t-shirt and jeans with heels, but xiang say too plain, shd dress up a bit.. so i went up again to change.. but couldn't find anything nice to wear!! (yes yes i can almost hear cm saying my wardrobe is bursting with clothes but i juz cant find anything to wear!!! >_<) so finally juz settled for a plain black dress i bought in melb.. juz some random thots.. i realli feel old after the gathering.. seeing my cousins all grown up, including myself.. jerlyn used to be soooo small n cute, but now she's taller than me altho she's onli pri 4!!! and she can play audition better than me.. miss the days when she couldn't even turn the com on by herself.. n today i found out that my 表哥 blogs as well! and he can write realli realli well.. impressive!

after reading his blog, i feel tt my life is realli boring.. he has experienced more ups and downs than me. all my life, i had lived a standard template designed by the government. went to kindergarden, primary school, secondary sch, JC, NUS and then started working. and i got my 1st bf at the age of 20. YES HE IS MY 1ST BF LA!!! not that i nv like guys b4 him, but he's the 1st one that receives all ticks on my 'boyfriend checklist' =) and so i guess my life will carry on like the template was designed to be.. if nthg goes wrong, i would date for a few more yrs, finally getting married.. then have children and so on.. all the while i would also be working hard and saving money so that i can support family, buy hdb or buy car etc etc. i juz followed this track that was followed by thousands of others my age. there is nothing remarkable in my life. nthg interesting that i can write abt myself. of cuz i'm veri contented. a bit sad that my life is juz so plain, but mabe this is wad's most suitable for me.

ok Now u want to know WHAT i have in my boyfriend checklist rite? i knew it, nvm i will share:
1. make me laugh
- always able to cheer me up wif some lame shit hahaha
2. cleverer than me - ok u guys are gonna say this is too easy to fulfil cuz i am so blur n stupid!!! >_<
3. thrifty
4. confidence - guys who are confident are attractive, enuff said
5. maturity - dun like childish or naive guys. bcuz my family has always been poor, i always had to think/work harder than other teenagers.. so it made me slightly mature in certain aspects (YES I AM MATURE DUN LAUGH LIAO =P)
6. 体贴 - dunno wad it is in english, so i wrote in chinese.
7. chemistry!!
8. common goals for the r/s~

aiya have checklist also no use de la. when it comes, it juz comes!! hahaha...

btw, work still sucks.
