I knw it's a little late but still..
HAPPY LUNAR NEW YEAR!
Hope y'all had a great time with all the gambling, angpows and goodies!
OKAY I have a confession to make. I've been munching on new year goodies non-stop! I mean, when you're seated so comfortably on a sofa, watching the TV, how can you resist the temptation of the endless array of FOOD right in front of you?!?! If you can, IT IS JUST SO NOT HUMAN.
But you knw, this human-like behaviour has to stop, SOON. I NEED TO LOSE WEIGHT DESPERATELY. I'll do whatever it takes. Fast. Exercise. :( :( :(
If not I'm not going to look nice in all my newly-bought dresses anymore!
Backtracking to CNY's eve, I woke up early in the morning to go cycling with Wc. And woohoo it rocked that morning because it was cloudy and I didn't get tanned! :) But stupid Wc almost made us cycle all the way to Changi can! He spited me further by saying "You want toned legs right?" But my leg muscles were too tired to get toned at that time, so, next time!
And today, the two of us went singing at Bugis! :) Yup, the $16 place again. Wonderful time spent tgt. Heh heh. Shall do it again soon!
If you had realised, my posts are getting less picture-ful. That's because I've been becoming more and more picture-phobic/camera-phobic. Ha, these words don't even exist. I just can't get into the mood of taking pictures! I tried once, on the first day of CNY, I thought it'd be better when I had my new dress on, but discontinued when I saw my first shot with my sister. Those listless eyes. So-not-radiant complexion. Dang, I looked horrible!
IT MUST BE BECAUSE OF MY JOB, IT MUST BE. I've been feeling super lethargic lately. So.. IT MUST BE!
Sigh. Speaking of jobs, I took up my second banquet offer, which is tmr night. And now, I knda regretted it.. Because I'm too lazy to go for it!
Any nice souls out there who are willing to take over me for free? =X

I've been working like a slave for the past 4 days. AND I'M FREAKING TIRED RIGHT NOW.
That's not me btw.
From Tuesday to Thursday I woke up at 530 and slept at 11. Yesterday I was taking 2 jobs, one in the morning-afternoon and another one at night. So I woke up at 530 and slept at 3.
MY EYEBAGS ARE GETTING WORSE BY THE DAY AND MY COMPLEXION, NEEDLESS TO SAY, IS HORRIBLE.
SIGH, I need to get a less, MUCH LESS physically taxing job! I'm tired of packing, unpacking, loading, unloading.. I CAN FEEL MY BICEPS FIRMING! The sales part was quite fun though. But still, it wasn't worth it for such a pathetic pay! But lucky me, I have Wc! :)
Last night was my first attempt as a waitress. Chengyew met me and wc and we left for Ritz Carlton. AND MAN, IT WAS TIRING. Especially for my feet! My heels were killing me! I had to walk to and fro the ballroom and the kitchen for like a million times! And the uniform was super stuffy with its turtle neck collar. LOL. But my only blunder was that I spilled 5 drinks at one time. Luckily it was at the side station, not at the tables. Other than that, I was okay.
The newbies (us) were allowed to leave at 11. After we changed, it was about 1130. We were afraid of missing the last train which we had no idea what time so we ran all the way from Ritz to City Hall! People must have thought we were crazy la. But luckily the last train was at 1205. Actually we could have walked! ALL CHENGYEW'S FAULT LA!
SO I'm giving myself a break today! Woohoo! I'm not gg for the morning job and Wc's replacing me for banquet. I'M SUCH A BUM! =X
LOL ANYWAY I just thought of sth. Monday i was at Orchard for a job interview and someone actually approached me for modelling! That person must have been partially blind! Alright that's your super big joke of the day! :) :) :)
Okay enough crapping for now. Sorry for putting you thru the torment of reading this boring (almost) picture-less post! I think i'm gg back to sleep because I'm still tired.. It's 230pm now btw. I shall sleep while I can because the vicious cycle begins next week! :( :( :(
Tired, tired me.

IS IN THE AIR.
Breathe it in people! :)
For the first time after soooooo.. long, i wore my MJC uniform! Not for nth, of course! I'm not tt bo liao. ANYWAY, i feel YOUNG wearing it even though i knw i'm not.. :( :( :( Seeing all the uniform clad students made me miss school.. ALOT.
I've alr forgotten the feeling of gg to school. I once said i'd rather work than study, but right now, I MISS SCHOOL! Not in the sense of repeating another year la.
ANYWAY (again) i went to fetch my ah gong and ah po who came frm Hainan. And on the way..
:D
ANYWAY (again again) On one day (i forgot which day) we had a class excursion to Kallang for iceskating. But i didn't join them bcos i was broke.. :( AND SO, me and wc roamed the suntec and marina and bugis areas for cinemas! LOL. We even found a cinema which screens BOLLYWOOD FILMS! And the encounter was damn paiseh. =X In the end we didn't watch a single film. 2 of us = Major loser duo
Dinner was chicken rice plus flavoured ice-shaving at Katong!
Listen to BELIEVE IN ME by Demi Lovato It is like THE best song, right now, to me.
I don't wanna be afraid I wanna wake up feeling beautiful today And know that I'm okay Cause everyone's perfect in unusual ways You see I just wanna believe in me
The mirror can lie Doesn't show you what's inside And it It can tell you you're full of life It's amazing what you can hide Just by putting on a smile
The lyrics are like super meaningful!
NEW YEAR'S EVE
Cycling at ECP got me sunburned. Followed by Katong laksa for lunch but i had my muffins. They played pool while i watched.
Went home after a while to wash up before meeting the countdown dinner peeps.
ANYWAY I SAW MY #1's #2 ON MY WAY TO THE TRAIN STATION! WE EVEN HAD EYE CONTACT! DON'T KNW WHETHER IT'S BCOS OF WHAT I'M WEARING OR BCOS HE RECOGNISED ME. =X
Realised we were clueless as to where the place was when we reached Expo. So Cy's dad came to our rescue and fetched us there. The theme was Black & White so we were all dressed in B&W. Anyway i thought the ambience was much better than our prom! Plus there were free party hats! HAHA. :)
2 idiots :D
The food was also much nicer than that of prom's! LOL. And chingying's lil bro was molesting me! He attempted to kiss me many many times! Haha. Too charming, cannot blame. :P The programme was good. I thought the best dressed section was the funniest! :) :) :)
It was time for countdown After "3..2..1.. HAPPY NEW YEAR!" people moved to the dance floor and started showing off their groovy dance moves. Chingying and co joined in but people like me sat aside and watched. Wc and Chengyew joined me and played with Chingying's bro instead.
After all the dancing, they decided to go clubbing. But due to serious lack of drinking and dancing genes, I decided to go home instead. Me and Wc shared a cab with one of Cy's friend since she was also staying in tamp. When i reached home i realised i didn't bring my keys. So i went to look for my bro who was loitering outside with his friends. Got my keys. Bathed. And plopped myself on my bed.
HAPPY 2009!

LALALA DAY
It was a super good get-together and singing session! :) Thanks to Weilin who introduced this place to us! 11am-6pm for just $16/nett! Plus free flow drinks! Ain't that worth it?! Btw Guangwei was unexpectedly.. High! YOU GUYS HAVE TO SEE HIM IN ACTION IN ORDER TO BELIEVE ME!
"Pump it.. LOUDER! Pump it.. LOUDER! Turn up the radio Blast your stereo Right now This joint is fizzlin' It’s sizzlin' Right.."
Dinner at HK restaurant at Bugis Junction! :)
END OF DAY!
X'MAS EVE
Watched Yesman with Weichong HILARIOUS SHOW. Woot! I love Jim Carrey's shows! We were late though bcos of a.. small commotion. :(
And then.. We bought our flipflops! :) Lol. Our xmas prezzie to each other. Haha. And we had 20% off just bcos we were too cute! Kidding! :) They were having some sale or sth.
He got black while i got pink! :)
We love our flipflops! :) And we love each other too. =X
We shopped around bugis for a while before i left for the xmas dinner with my family at Chijmes. It was my second time stepping into Chijmes and i got lost while looking for the restaurant! But i eventually found my way to the right place, CARNIVORE. It was a Brazilian restaurant and it was really cool bcos the chefs will walk around the tables and slice any meat of your request right onto your plates! Btw, the fish was really good! :)
My really cute.. niece! (i think) What do i call my cousin's daughter?
And her pretty korean mum!
With my gu gu :)
Met up with Wc and joined my girls at ECP for a stayover! There were 3 new faces though. :) :) :) Indian Poker, Bluff and Asshole Daidee were rubbish and crappy and fun!
We had macs for breakfast the next morning. Lunched with Wc and we had Aston's and Chocolate Oreo bubbletea! SUPER NON-FAT FRIENDLY I KNW BUT IT WAS SUPER GOOD! :)
Pretty flower :)
WOOT! Fast update! Can't believe i'm THAT efficient! :)
I just went for a run, AGAIN! Determined to lead a healthy lifestyle with lotsa exercise and healthy food! I can lose weight at the same time! :) :) :)
KL trip!
Actually we did nth else besides eating and shopping. Quite sad uh. Guess it was too last minute plus we only had 3 days. Anyway the food was nice and cheap! Plus the shopping malls were really big and there were sales everywhere! WOOT! =X But i didn't buy much in the end bcos the clothes wasn't very much my style. It was a little to the 'AL' style (According to huangyi)
Dinner on our first night!
The cutest snowmans, ever! :P
On the second night, we went Nando's for dinner. I rmb this restaurant from the fb Penang trip!
The next morning while waiting for our coach we walked around and woot! we found..
Secret Recipe!
Sparkling juice- Appletiser & Grapetiser
Jiao bei jiu!
Chocolate fudge! For chocolate lovers! :)
White chocolate macadamia! My fav! Super yummy! :)
Chocolate strawberry. My meimei's pick :) Not bad either. The strawberry wasn't too sweet, just right!
Raspberry cheesecake. Another yummy treat! My fav too! :)
After our super satisfying (and super sinful) meal at Secret Recipe, we went to Berjaya Times Square which was where we were supposed to wait at.
And they lived happily ever after. :)
Haha. I think the last picture is just too adorable!
