i'm in a superrrrrrrrrr bad mood now... i think that pill is making so many changes to my hormones... sickening projects... first... i stayed in school till 11pm today just to complete that rubbish new media project... a project with the stupiest guidelines i've ever come across, or rather WE've ever seen... the lecturers are stupid to set a question with so many f*cking loopholes... which defeats the purpose of us researching... the importance is focusing on comparing demographics against the topic 'digital divide'... which person with brains would set a research topic constraining to a sample size of only 20 people when the demographics play such an important role in the research... comparing the young and the old... missing out the middle-aged group... this project is totally f*cked up... waste of our time.... anyone with brains would understand what is causing digital divide without the need of researching... since this question is stupid... our report is loaded with common sensical stuff... have been staying in school later each day just to complete this damn project... can't wait to submit this tomorrow morning... second... i just received another project from my team mate for another module... employee mgt for singapore... i just feel like scolding someone the moment i opened the document... the whole report is in a mess... sometimes i thank God that i went to poly instead of JC. if i show this to my poly mates... they'll probably vomit blood....
argh... enough said about reports.. i have to stay up till tmr just to clear the load... i haven't have time to upload the halloween pics... will upload as soon as possible ya... just bear with my naggings these few days... sorrie darlings...
=) i'm in a superrr duper pleasant mood... met up wth merv last night... we went to jurong hill for pinic... gave baby a surprise... i made chocolate fondue! strawberries.banana.kiwi.apple.marshmallows superrrrr yummie...... it was my first attempt... *wink... the queen of desserts* chocolates never fail to make the both of us happie... after that... we headed to chinatown to spend our night there... had to leave at 5am plus cuz poor merv has to do guard duty today =( nevertheless... i had a great time! the moment i reached my room... saw my halloween costume ready... omg... sooo happie... my mum, my granny and granny's friend is the best! they spent hours doing it according to how i wanted it to be... i was pretty amazed by their skills when i sat next to them watching them doing in the noon. lalaaaa... so excited. anyway... i have so many things on my list today.. it's my grandfather's birthday... hav to go my granny's place... i have econs make-up tutorial in the noon... then in the night... it's darrie joreen's birthday celebration... later... it's party time! halloween party at momo. sorrie list sorrie sherman... it's his 21st birthday... at tanah merah chalet i can't make it... Happy 21st Birthday... don't be sad already k... promise u i'll make it up to u... sorrie andrew... can't make it to your party tmr... i'll meet u another day k... sorrie to my loveliest bitch... i know this halloween i'm suppose to party with u both... and i know things didn't go right that night... and things will never be the same... but just wanna let u know... u still do matter to me... -your most bimbotic friend- sorrie darling... i know i haven't been catching up with u... and when u said i don't care.. it's not true... i still do... because i know all these years u've always been the one there for me... whenever i needed a shoulder to lean upon... listening ears to hear me cry again and again over the phone... u never fail to make me feel better... simply because no one understands me better than you do. i know u ain't feeling happie these few days... just wanna let u know... i'll always be there for u when u need me... so don't ever say i don't care about u k... -love xiaolin- ((... though things are not on the right track now... but i truly enjoyed every single min and sec that we've spent together... u've been my daily potion of happiness... and u're the sweetest thing i ever had... love teddy))
boohoohoo... i'm still in school at this time... have been sitting in the library since 2pm... working on this sickening project... so tired... the school library is closing in 9 minutes time... so i can go home already!
i wonder. why the wounded has to endure the pain all alone... bear the lies for him... and cover everything up... just to shield him and the other girl from hurt... the wounded is left with nothing in the end... but another fresh new scar...
and while they manage to maintain a facade of happiness... no one cares about the fragile heart of the wounded... no one. no one hears her silent cries...
--wounded teddy--
((teddy was really happie... and so was yuan yuan. no one can make her smile more than them))
Fransca is very self-sufficient. She is trying not to need anyone. She is capable of making it on her own. She probably wants and enjoys people, but she doesn't "need" them. She can be a loner.
Fransca is a practical person whose goals are planned, practical, and down to earth. This is typical of people with normal healthy self-esteem. She needs to visualize the end of a project before she starts. she finds joy in anticipation and planning. Notice that I said she plans everything she is going to do, that doesn't necessarily mean things go as planned. Fransca basically feels good about herself. She has a positive self-esteem which contributes to her success. She feels she has the ability to achieve anything she sets her mind to. However, she sets her goals using practicality-- not too "out of reach". She has enough self-confidence to leave a bad situation, yet, she will not take great risks, as they relate to her goals. A good esteem is one key to a happy life. Although there is room for improvement in the confidence catagery, her self-perception is better than average.
In reference to Fransca's mental abilities, she has a very investigating and creating mind. She investigates projects rapidly because she is curious about many things. She gets involved in many projects that seem good at the beginning, but she soon must slow down and look at all the angles. She probably gets too many things going at once. When Fransca slows down, then she becomes more creative than before. Since it takes time to be creative, she must slow down to do it. She then decides what projects she has time to finish. Thus she finishes at a slower pace than when she started the project. She has the best of two kinds of minds. One is the quick investigating mind. The other is the creative mind. Her mind thinks quick and rapidly in the investigative mode. She can learn quicker, investigate more, and think faster. Fransca can then switch into her low gear. When she is in the slower mode, she can be creative, remember longer and stack facts in a logical manner. She is more logical this way and can climb mental mountains with a much better grip.
Fransca will be candid and direct when expressing her opinion. She will tell them what she thinks if they ask for it, whether they like it or not. So, if they don't really want her opinion, don't ask for it!
Fransca will demand respect and will expect others to treat her with honor and dignity. Fransca believes in her ideas and will expect other people to also respect them. She has a lot of pride.
Fransca uses judgment to make decisions. She is ruled by her head, not her heart. She is a cool, collected person who is usually unexpressive emotionally. Some may see her as unemotional. She does have emotions but has no need to express them. She is withdrawn into herself and enjoys being alone. The circumstances when Fransca does express emotions include: extreme anger, extreme passion, and tremendous stress. If someone gets her mad enough to tell her off, she will not be sorry about it later. She puts a mark in her mind when someone angers her. She keeps track of these marks and when she hits that last mark she will let them know they have gone too far. She is ruled somewhat by self-interest. All her conclusions are made without outside emotional influence. She is very level-headed and will remain calm in an emergency situation. In a situation where other people might get hysterical, she has poise. Fransca will work more efficiently if given space and time to be alone. She would rather not be surrounded by people constantly. In a relationship, she will show her love by the things she does rather than by the things she says. Saying "I love you" is not a needed routine because she feels her mate should already know. The only exception to this is if she has logically concluded that it is best for her mate to hear her express her love verbally. Fransca is not subject to emotional appeals. If someone is selling a product to her, they will need to present only the facts. They should present them from a standpoint of her sound judgment. She will not be taken in by an emotional story about someone else. She will meet emergencies without getting hysterical and she will always ask "Is this best for me?"
People that write their letters in an average height and average size are moderate in their ability to interact socially. According to the data input, Fransca doesn't write too large or too small, indicating a balanced ability to be social and interact with others.
Fransca has a desire for attention. People around Fransca will notice this need. She may fulfill this need by a variety of ways depending on her own character.

Love ya babes! boohooohooo.... my right eye can't really see... don't know if it's because of the haze... the sleepless nights working and studying... or due to the contact lens. my right eye is red and swollen keep tearing :'( and i fall sick again... having terrible sore throat and cough... don't know wad's wrong... i've been falling sick every week for 2 months... sick then recover... sick again den recover... the cycle kept repeating =( anyway... i'm working at arena country club later! the funnie thing is... just a few days ago... merv and i went there... then i realised they carry c* there... i was just kidding with merv that... who knows i might work here next time... when i received the assignment this morning... was so surprised. called jiarui... she's gonna be there today... and said that they nvr had any girls working there before. lol. alrite... have to start preparing aldy... bye darlings... rui... see ya later!

Oh yay! I did it! It's 7.20am now... i just completed my history essay! Went to the school library yesterday at 12pm... sat there alone till 8 pm plus... rushing through my essay. mummy called me and asked if i had dinner... guess wad... i haven't eaten for 2 days! i was so damn hungry... and someone wasn't happie about me not eating. So i took a cab down to Raffles Town Country Club to meet my parents for dinner. Yummie.. had sirloin steak. After dinner... the moment i got home... switch on my laptop at the living room... didn't even bothered to go up my room... cuz i was afraid that i would be tempted to lie on my bed. So i've been sitting on this couch since 10pm... typing my essay all the way till now. Finally... it's done! Love myself to bits... LOL. Okie... i'll have to start preparing now for school... guess i won't get to sleep for the next 12 hours... after submitting the essay... have another project meeting at 2pm... Den after the meeting... i'll have to make my way down to Shin Bar to work. Working till midnight... So if u wanna see me... u can go look for me... rmb to bring me sweets k... and pray that i won't collapse. Good morning!
the whole history essay thing is driving me crazy... this morning i tot it wasn't gonna be so bad... cuz i stayed up the entire night till 6am... and typed till 1117 words... for Question 4. Then later in the noon... i realised that i had more ideas for Question 3... "Were Asian countries doomed to be colonised?"... a very vague question but one that i could freely express. So i changed my mind and started to redo the essay... i was so damn drained by tht time i reached home. i barely had 3 hours of sleep... woke up early in the morning and went to the hair studio... re-dyed my streaks and did cosmic cream treatment. i continued my essay on my lappie as my hair was going through process after process... i had no time to waste. my hair was only done by 5pm... took a cab home... and fell right asleep onto my bed the moment i got home. woke up 9 plus... then met up with merv for drinks... came home 12 plus... and have been reading the pile of history books... going bogus... the things are so damn difficult to understand... colonialism decolonisation nationalism... all the violence... treatries... blah~~~ is making my head spin. i die die also have to read the books. oh yah... rui... the essay is only less than a quarter tedious than the whole history module... every single tutorial is as heavy... every tutorial has an average of 3 to 4 readings... each reading is almost 20 pages... have to read everything before you can attempt the tutorial questions... which are damn difficult. so don't ever try taking history module... and tell u what... heard that literature is worse... so moral of the story: don't take arts module. it's not gonna help me in any way in the working society... and it's not making me any knowledgeble. i'm just wasting time in ARTS & SS. ((Missing you is like having coffee without sugar... tt's why i wanted to see u))
shit the damn stress thing... i'm starting to feel the pressure over sch work... initially... i wasn't that stress... because i'm not the kind who would exert pressure on myself over sch matters... but it seems like everyone around me is getting so damn stress... that somehow or rather it affected me... damnit. it's making me feeling so aggitated and stress. submission of essays, projects and assignments, midterm test and final exams all coming at once... i'm having the stupid period of the month... so i'm not in the best of mood... and i've problem writing my history essay (refer to below for guidelines and qns)... cos i have no idea if i'm the right track... it was so nice of elizabeth to offer help for my essay... love you girl! went to cck library today and found some books which seems quite useful... sotong me thought the submission date for ths essay is thursday... that's why i got so kan jiong... cuz haven't started. think i going to make a trip to sch tmr to look for Dr Mark Emmanuel... i think he's a super nice lecturer... okie dokie... most probably i've to burn midnight oil these few nights just to get this done.... goodnite dearest... ((if my smile :) can make u happie... i'll smile a million times for u just to make u happie)) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Questions
The British conquest of Burma led one senior monk to lament in a poem:
No more the Royal Umbrella, No more the Royal Palace, And the RoyalCity, no more... This is indeed an Age of Nothingness 'Twere better we were dead.
Such sentiments were commonplace among the religious elite of different colonised societies and indeed the religious establishments were often at the forefront of millenarian, anti-colonial movements throughout the 19th and 20th centuries. Examine critically the role of religion in ONE anti-colonial movement or uprising in Asia.
Western and Japanese imperialism are often held up as the seminal moments in the exploitation in Asia. However, there were Asian kingdoms that also conquered and controlled other Asian territories. Elaborate on ONE such example and compare/contrast this mode of colonialism with European colonialism of 16th-20th centuries.
Were Asian countries doomed to be colonised?
Compare and contrast the process of decolonisation between any TWO countries featured in this course. Examine critically the modes of decolonisation (violent versus peaceful transition) and explain why these were the paths taken.
"Countries in Southeast Asia and South Asia today did not exist as nations until the British, Dutch or French created them." Do you agree? Consider in a critical manner the ideas of nation and nationalism in answering this question. Choose as examples TWO countries, one from each region.
The Asian values debate is often seen as the debate between human rights and the practices of authoritarian Asian governments. Looking at the broader historical context of the 1990s, critically analyse the emergence of, and the criticisms made against the concept of Asian values.
For centuries, women have been missing from the manuscripts of historical tomes. When Asian women are mentioned, they are seen as having freedoms today because of the colonial interlude. Do you think this is true? Using the example of an Asian society, critically examine the changing role of women in pre-colonial and colonial times in order to make your judgement.
Betholt Brecht once wrote a poem that questioned whether great men were alone in making history, whether they alone built great monuments and whether they alone defeated armies. Historians have responded by recovering the stories of ordinary people - from prostitutes to rickshawmen to railwayworkers to soldiers to labourers and slaves. Use an example from Asia to show how non-elite groups or individuals contributed to the rich historical tapestry of these countries, relating it to any broad theme within this course.
i've been reading loads of these... then this occurred to me as one of the most accurate... somehow i realised most of my relationships are love at first sight... *even though i never admit to them* God of Prophets (January 1 to February 2)
Those born under this sign have a sure talent for recognising Mr./Ms. Right the first time they see him/her - for them it's often a matter of love at first sight. When this happens, usually at a chance meeting in public places like shopping malls or restaurants, you can attract him/her by radiating happiness. You'll find it will captivate him/her
omgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomg... i fell down in front of adam after work... was walking towards his car in the carpark... missed a step and fell hard on the ground... heinkein dresses, potato chips, my bag fell out of hands... i could feel the excruciating pain at my ankle... but was so embarrassing that i couldn't be bothered with it... quickly forced myself to stand up despite the shock i got... and kept laughing cos lisa kept asking me to walk straight. luckily... warren country club is only 2 mins drive away from my home... i bore the pain on my foot on the car... i have been working my ass off these few weeks... i don't know for what reason... at first... it was purely to keep myself occupied... so i won't spend time thinking of supererogatory stuff. then later... the thought of end year trips and beauty treatments became my motivation... i want to go to the spa resort at batam... then i want to go to hongkong and taipei for shopping... i know my parents won't sponsor me those trips... cos they've already paid for the family end year trip to china again =( i seriously hate holidays to china... it's freaking cold at the end of the year. anyway... think it's time to stop working for a while already... final exams are approaching in less than 2 months' time have to lock myself at home to study.
was working at oktoberfest yst... after work... all prepared to party again... joreen, jiali, zeta and i headed to taboo...
alrite... i hope my foot doesn't swell up like pig's totter tmr... goodnite... ((sleep well ya... tk care of ur eyes k... nite baby))
5.06 am... fresh from shower... the night was hella fun... work from started from 4.30pm... oktoberfest at china square central... and ended at 12am... after work, a few of us stayed back for a while to drink.
jiali and i happened to wear the same combi of everything white top with white skirt... gold ribbon... gold earrings... gold shoes... so loving right... lolx.
then, jiali, zeta, serene and i headed to TABOO... which was walking distance from where we were. I would say this is one of my best times at TABOO... the 4 of us were playing like crazie... got onto the podium and dance with the "guys"... omg... and i actually dance with a les sooooo closely. as usual... there are so many cute guys... too bad they ain't for us... den the first thing david gan saw me was he put my hair behind my ears... hug me and said... "you are so pretty..." So sweet right... that's one thing i love whenever i go TABOO... everyone treats you sooooo damn nice even if you are a girl. i dunno how many kisses i got and how many i kissed last night... but zeta and serene were even more happening. haha. there were loads of new staff that i've never met before... but jerry, ben, carl, walus, eddie were there. TABOO closes at 3am plus... so we left and headed to zeta's friend's pub at boat quay sat there for drinks a while. Serene was still super duper active and awake... she went round looking for places where we can continue dancing... but jiali and i were too tired... i could hardly walk a few more steps. In the end, jiali and i gave devils bar a miss... zeta and serene went to devils.
That's all for the night.
Have to start preparing for work now... tonite we might be heading down to TABOO again! where fun continues... =)
Sat for my econs midterm test today... i was mugging through the lecture notes from early morning till it was time to enter the hall... ok.. i admit... it was extreme last min revision... but was unintentional... wanted to start studying from last night... but met up with merv for coffee and movie at jurong pt... so we managed to catch "World Trade Centre"... the show wasn't as good as expected... cos the entire show only focus on 2 policemen who were trapped... though it was a lil' touching. But it doesn't really matter, what mattered most was the company that made the show seem more pleasant. oh yah, anyway back to the test... i felt as if i was gonna fail terribly when i was doing the paper... i wasn't sure with my answers and there were a handful of questions which i didn't know how to do. i wasn't able to concentrate as i was too drained out with certain issues. but it turned out to be not as bad when i compared answers with my mates... hope the results won't be disappointing. something cool happened... those sickening invigilators or lecturers took ridiculous long to count the papers... the test ended at 7pm... and they collected the papers... and after 25 minutes they haven't release us... everyone was feeling aggitated and growing impatient... then suddenly a guy who was 2 seats away from me took his bag and stormed towards the exit... then the girl right behind me did the same thing... slowly everyone around me got up... just for your info... the exam hall was not small... i was sitting at seat 697... there were 700 over students... i didn't know if i should do the same thing too... cos we were not allowed to leave yet... the lecturers were too shock to react and control... so they finally announced "you may leave the hall now". WTH... they kept us waiting 25 minutes just to count papers... there were more an 10 invigilators... even chickens can count faster. alrite... now i have to do some project stuff... goodnite... chocolate dreams baby...
it sounds like i always land in relationships like the scenarios of tv serials sometimes i wonder does being boring makes a girl seems as if she's the one you can count on the rest of your life... it hurts a million more than when it ended... why pry open the wound that was recovering... why tell me how happy you feel when you're with me and how much you miss those times when we were together when you already have the answer in your heart... ... it hurts like no one's business... i no longer know what to say or do anymore... even though i know i have the power to choose the way i want things to go... but i don't know which way should i go... or rather i can't bear to end this too... ((at that moment... it was too late to turn back... i didn't know what should i do to change things... so i just followed what my heart told me too...))
last nite was fun... work started at 7pm yesterday at Singapore Swimming Club... jiali, madeline and i were working together... was quite tiring there cos the in-charge wasn't very pleasant. anyway.. my feet was hurting big time. was suppose to go devils bar to meet janice and kylie... but i won't be able to stand an longer in heels the moment i get there. after work... i still didn't feel like going home... jiali suggested to chillout at Mind Cafe. Left SSC at 12am... headed Mind Cafe at Boat Quay... on the way there found out some stuff... omg... it was such an coincidence... whahaa jiali and i shared some secret... i can't wait for some things to happen... (fransca is all around...).. so BEWARE baby. Melissa and Shuhua came to join us. So we spent hours playing games... Bokus, Charades... a few more... but can't rmb the names. Oh anyway for those who haven't been to Mind cafe(click on it)... it's a cafe that provides a wide range of games that you may not find in Singapore. A place where you can meet up with your friends for games over food, snacks and drinks. Not free though.. charges per hourly... but at a reasonable rate. Had a great time during the games... especially charades... jiali, shuhua and madeline's friend teamed up... while madeline,melissa and i another... shuhua and madeline were the "actors" for the teams.... shuhua is a calm and serious one who is very clear in her actions... while madeline is the one that created the entire atmosphere... she's totally hilarious... all of us couldn't stop laughing at the actions she does. especially when it came to the word "blanket".. she hurriedly took off her jacket and wanted it to act as a blanket... all of us starting bursting out in laughters.. everyone in the cafe turned and look at her actions... even the waiter was laughing. She's sooooooo cute. The cafe closes at 3am... so we left the place... jiali and i still didn't want to go home... so we headed down to Momo at 3am. The crowd at the dancefloor wasn't pleasing. Left the place at 5am... Sexy sent us back home... together with xiao dai - his soft toy tortoise =)... a very cute one... sexy name his bolsters and soft toys... xiao ming, ah gong, xiao hong and xiao dai. Poor boy has gastric flu... hope he gets better soon.
((what's going on? what did i just do again? the thing goes on forever... and it was another bold experience))
This post is gonna be flooded with pics... ... but i know you love it... (if don't agree... then don't scroll down)...
ahhhh huhhh! see i knew it... you wanna see =p ! (ok childish) on thursday night... jason, stella, weili and i went to catch the starlight movie... the one at padang... where you watch it outdoor under the stars (or rather just under the moonlight... cos there were no stars) It was showing "The Breakup"... Mmm... i know 'e movie is outdated... but that's the only movie on screen that night... so tt's too bad for those who've watched it before. There were loads of ppl... almost everyone set their mat on the ground... except for some extras... and we were one of them... lol... stella and jason went to buy comfy foldable chairs just for the show.. so we found a place... set the chairs up... and stuck our asses on it... happily mucnching on potato chips.. marshmallows and sushi. The entire idea of watching a movie outdoor was quite lovely... the only bad thing is there were too many people... so the ambient wasn't as romantic as expected.
After the movie... went to the place next to DXO at explanade for dinner. Then, Jason us back home...
The last pic for that day...
The next morning... Had to drag myself outta bed for work APB Oktoberfest... Zeta, Joreen and I were working. After work... Mervyn (Jo's fren) came to pick us up... went to his fren's place to see some clothes... I bought 2 tops =)...

MY DESKTOP DIED ON ME!!! so now i just have to rely on my pretty but useless macbook. hmmm... lemme see what's going on in my boring life... last sat... was working at jurong country club... after that... headed to central mall to meet janice, summer and gina. the initial plan was to head to cube... but was empty... we ended up choosing between momo and devils... so we were debating which one to go... we used the toss coin method... whatever results came out... we were still unsatisfied... but in the end we went to momo... whahaaa. bumped into sabrina at momo... hahaa... just as she expected... i was there. stella and her friends came to join me at 2 plus... we left at 4 plus... went to have porridge at chinatown... den headed home. today... i skipped school... oh well... that's nothing new. met up with constance for lunch at Ikea... loads of stuff to catch up with one another after lunch... we shopped in Ikea... she bought loads of stuff for her new rented place... i was hopping to see loads of nice stuff for my room... i need to change everything in my room again... i NEED a change of luck badly... SHOO away those who are out to break my heart. After all said... i only managed to buy a tray to put my excessive hair products. We left ikea... with one whole big overloaded trolley of household stuff... loaded everything into her car... went to pick her hubby up... then they sent me home. can't wait for their new house to get ready... which is of walking distance from my place... then i got exercise and late night kopi kaki already. It was nice seeing her today =) okies... tt's all for today... gonna check out the O.P.I nail polish series... drop me a msg if any of u wanna get... i think i might be able to get $10 per bottle (usual price abt $20) oooolalaa...
Oh yah... check out my new "Music Video of the Day"... Koda Kumi... i swear... she's BURNING HOT... her moves may be a lil' sexually disturbing... WOaHhHhhhh....
On Thursday and Saturday night... it's the annual Oktoberfest at Swiss Club again... had great time working with those i'm familiar with... joreen, jiali, gladys, madeline...
Then on friday night... i headed to zouk with someone and his friends... and i'm still wondering if it was a wise choice... i guess it wasn't even though i had a great time... that night left a deep mark in my heart. the next morning... i woke up feeling sooo blessed... finding myself in someone's embrace... but it was the last time. on sunday morning... i found out something bad happened... and sometimes i feel sad for her... for not treasuring her own self-pride... why resort to such despicable method? but i thank her for one thing... she made me realised how strong i can be... and that i've learnt to take control of my emotions... and handle my feelings in a better way than before. then i know how good it feels when i'm in control of my life. on monday... i went back to sch for project meeting... new media and communications project... nothing much happened that day... but i suffered from insomnia that night... and the following nights after that... but a call from sexy made me felt much better... tuesday noon... i returned to school again... this time was for employee management proj meeting. i had to make a trip to tampines mall to collect my preordered shoes. it was so nice of cirong to accompany me... so after collecting... we shopped around in tampines mall... all in all... i went home with 4 new pairs of shoes and 1 gorgeous hairband. before heading home... while we were talking at macdonalds... i suddenly started to shiver and was feeling hot... i was falling sick... so i took a cab home all the way from tampines to cck. tt nite i developed a fever. i couldn't sleep no matter what i do and was in pain... and i started imagining things (which supposedly came true) at 2am... sexy called me... and realised i was sobbing and sick... and wanted to come pick me and bring me to the doctor... surprisingly, i refused... i don't know what the hell was wrong with me... but i have to admit... i totally regretted it. 100%. Finally... i'm going to touch on the happenings today... this morning... i had assignment at Sexpo Conference.... which was held at Scarlet Hotel(click to see) wanted to book it last time... but was fully-booked. 'e hotel is indeed a glamorous one. Xiao Yan was doing it was me... so what we had to do was to wear kinky costumes... i was suppose to be in bunny... but whahaaaaaa... i sabo xiao yan... convinced them that xiao yan has slimer legs... so let her wear the bunny suit... and that's why i ended up in the she-devil costume...
the entire media conference thing ended at 1 plus... so xiao yan, natasha and i headed to town for food... went to cineleisure... after food.. wanted to catch a movie... but not much nice movies... omg... natasha is such a bold and wild baby... i shan't elaborate... but she has got an attitude... i like =p... xiao yan and i went on a shopping spree... we were like crazy... shopped around at paragon... and we were so damn tempted to splurge on high-flyer goods... so we went over to taka... bought clothes at zara... later we saw Armani Xchange on sale... then xiao yan pulled me in... so i bought a dress and she bought a sweater. we walked over to coffee beans at wheelocks... relax and chill there till 6 plus... met moon and she passed me the tops. after that.. i made a trip all the way to simei just to sign that damn APB contract again... felicia waited for me... we went for dinner... shopping... and girls' talk... abt 9... we headed back to cck together... it was a pretty fruitful day i would say... ((it's either too much dirt that blurred visions... or too much white lies just to make a fgly girl feels gorgeous))
i'm in a superrrrrrrrrr bad mood now... i think that pill is making so many changes to my hormones... sickening projects... first... i stayed in school till 11pm today just to complete that rubbish new media project... a project with the stupiest guidelines i've ever come across, or rather WE've ever seen... the lecturers are stupid to set a question with so many f*cking loopholes... which defeats the purpose of us researching... the importance is focusing on comparing demographics against the topic 'digital divide'... which person with brains would set a research topic constraining to a sample size of only 20 people when the demographics play such an important role in the research... comparing the young and the old... missing out the middle-aged group... this project is totally f*cked up... waste of our time.... anyone with brains would understand what is causing digital divide without the need of researching... since this question is stupid... our report is loaded with common sensical stuff... have been staying in school later each day just to complete this damn project... can't wait to submit this tomorrow morning... second... i just received another project from my team mate for another module... employee mgt for singapore... i just feel like scolding someone the moment i opened the document... the whole report is in a mess... sometimes i thank God that i went to poly instead of JC. if i show this to my poly mates... they'll probably vomit blood....
argh... enough said about reports.. i have to stay up till tmr just to clear the load... i haven't have time to upload the halloween pics... will upload as soon as possible ya... just bear with my naggings these few days... sorrie darlings...

boohoohoo... i'm still in school at this time... have been sitting in the library since 2pm... working on this sickening project... so tired... the school library is closing in 9 minutes time... so i can go home already!
8:57 PM
i wonder. why the wounded has to endure the pain all alone... bear the lies for him... and cover everything up... just to shield him and the other girl from hurt... the wounded is left with nothing in the end... but another fresh new scar...
and while they manage to maintain a facade of happiness... no one cares about the fragile heart of the wounded... no one. no one hears her silent cries...
--wounded teddy--
((teddy was really happie... and so was yuan yuan. no one can make her smile more than them))

Fransca is very self-sufficient. She is trying not to need anyone. She is capable of making it on her own. She probably wants and enjoys people, but she doesn't "need" them. She can be a loner.
Fransca is a practical person whose goals are planned, practical, and down to earth. This is typical of people with normal healthy self-esteem. She needs to visualize the end of a project before she starts. she finds joy in anticipation and planning. Notice that I said she plans everything she is going to do, that doesn't necessarily mean things go as planned. Fransca basically feels good about herself. She has a positive self-esteem which contributes to her success. She feels she has the ability to achieve anything she sets her mind to. However, she sets her goals using practicality-- not too "out of reach". She has enough self-confidence to leave a bad situation, yet, she will not take great risks, as they relate to her goals. A good esteem is one key to a happy life. Although there is room for improvement in the confidence catagery, her self-perception is better than average.
In reference to Fransca's mental abilities, she has a very investigating and creating mind. She investigates projects rapidly because she is curious about many things. She gets involved in many projects that seem good at the beginning, but she soon must slow down and look at all the angles. She probably gets too many things going at once. When Fransca slows down, then she becomes more creative than before. Since it takes time to be creative, she must slow down to do it. She then decides what projects she has time to finish. Thus she finishes at a slower pace than when she started the project. She has the best of two kinds of minds. One is the quick investigating mind. The other is the creative mind. Her mind thinks quick and rapidly in the investigative mode. She can learn quicker, investigate more, and think faster. Fransca can then switch into her low gear. When she is in the slower mode, she can be creative, remember longer and stack facts in a logical manner. She is more logical this way and can climb mental mountains with a much better grip.
Fransca will be candid and direct when expressing her opinion. She will tell them what she thinks if they ask for it, whether they like it or not. So, if they don't really want her opinion, don't ask for it!
Fransca will demand respect and will expect others to treat her with honor and dignity. Fransca believes in her ideas and will expect other people to also respect them. She has a lot of pride.
Fransca uses judgment to make decisions. She is ruled by her head, not her heart. She is a cool, collected person who is usually unexpressive emotionally. Some may see her as unemotional. She does have emotions but has no need to express them. She is withdrawn into herself and enjoys being alone. The circumstances when Fransca does express emotions include: extreme anger, extreme passion, and tremendous stress. If someone gets her mad enough to tell her off, she will not be sorry about it later. She puts a mark in her mind when someone angers her. She keeps track of these marks and when she hits that last mark she will let them know they have gone too far. She is ruled somewhat by self-interest. All her conclusions are made without outside emotional influence. She is very level-headed and will remain calm in an emergency situation. In a situation where other people might get hysterical, she has poise. Fransca will work more efficiently if given space and time to be alone. She would rather not be surrounded by people constantly. In a relationship, she will show her love by the things she does rather than by the things she says. Saying "I love you" is not a needed routine because she feels her mate should already know. The only exception to this is if she has logically concluded that it is best for her mate to hear her express her love verbally. Fransca is not subject to emotional appeals. If someone is selling a product to her, they will need to present only the facts. They should present them from a standpoint of her sound judgment. She will not be taken in by an emotional story about someone else. She will meet emergencies without getting hysterical and she will always ask "Is this best for me?"
People that write their letters in an average height and average size are moderate in their ability to interact socially. According to the data input, Fransca doesn't write too large or too small, indicating a balanced ability to be social and interact with others.
Fransca has a desire for attention. People around Fransca will notice this need. She may fulfill this need by a variety of ways depending on her own character.
Realised it's Man U vs Liverpool's match I was asked to wear their in-house jersey Of cos, i had to wear the Liverpool... cos it has the big brand name of C* on it... Whahaa... i love the jersey... red red one... i 'coup' the jersey home...

Anyway, that's my house...

If you, if you could return Don't let it burn,don't let it fade Maybe it's true that there's a reason why things that were meant to be a secret should remain a secret. But I'm missing you You know I'm such a fool for you You've got me wrapped around your finger, ah Do you have to let it linger...

So i took a cab down to Raffles Town Country Club to meet my parents for dinner. Yummie.. had sirloin steak. After dinner... the moment i got home... switch on my laptop at the living room... didn't even bothered to go up my room... cuz i was afraid that i would be tempted to lie on my bed. So i've been sitting on this couch since 10pm... typing my essay all the way till now. Finally... it's done! Love myself to bits... LOL. Okie... i'll have to start preparing now for school... guess i won't get to sleep for the next 12 hours... after submitting the essay... have another project meeting at 2pm...

the whole history essay thing is driving me crazy... this morning i tot it wasn't gonna be so bad... cuz i stayed up the entire night till 6am... and typed till 1117 words... for Question 4. Then later in the noon... i realised that i had more ideas for Question 3... "Were Asian countries doomed to be colonised?"... a very vague question but one that i could freely express. So i changed my mind and started to redo the essay... i was so damn drained by tht time i reached home. i barely had 3 hours of sleep... woke up early in the morning and went to the hair studio... re-dyed my streaks and did cosmic cream treatment. i continued my essay on my lappie as my hair was going through process after process... i had no time to waste. my hair was only done by 5pm... took a cab home... and fell right asleep onto my bed the moment i got home. woke up 9 plus... then met up with merv for drinks... came home 12 plus... and have been reading the pile of history books... going bogus... the things are so damn difficult to understand... colonialism decolonisation nationalism... all the violence... treatries... blah~~~ is making my head spin. i die die also have to read the books. oh yah... rui... the essay is only less than a quarter tedious than the whole history module... every single tutorial is as heavy... every tutorial has an average of 3 to 4 readings... each reading is almost 20 pages... have to read everything before you can attempt the tutorial questions... which are damn difficult. so don't ever try taking history module... and tell u what... heard that literature is worse... so moral of the story: don't take arts module. it's not gonna help me in any way in the working society... and it's not making me any knowledgeble. i'm just wasting time in ARTS & SS. ((Missing you is like having coffee without sugar... tt's why i wanted to see u))

shit the damn stress thing... i'm starting to feel the pressure over sch work... initially... i wasn't that stress... because i'm not the kind who would exert pressure on myself over sch matters... but it seems like everyone around me is getting so damn stress... that somehow or rather it affected me... damnit. it's making me feeling so aggitated and stress. submission of essays, projects and assignments, midterm test and final exams all coming at once... i'm having the stupid period of the month... so i'm not in the best of mood... and i've problem writing my history essay (refer to below for guidelines and qns)... cos i have no idea if i'm the right track... it was so nice of elizabeth to offer help for my essay... love you girl! went to cck library today and found some books which seems quite useful... sotong me thought the submission date for ths essay is thursday... that's why i got so kan jiong... cuz haven't started. think i going to make a trip to sch tmr to look for Dr Mark Emmanuel... i think he's a super nice lecturer... okie dokie... most probably i've to burn midnight oil these few nights just to get this done.... goodnite dearest... ((if my smile :) can make u happie... i'll smile a million times for u just to make u happie)) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The deadline is Friday20 October 2006. Hand in the essay together with the cover page (see page 2) to the History Department General Office, AS1/05-27 by 12 noon. For information on footnoting and plagarism, please see the document "On writing essays" in the workbin.
Answer the question using research and arguments to support your case. The important thing is to build your argument convincingly with examples. Give some thought to the questions and their implications. It would also be helpful to go through more than one draft of your essay before handing it in.
Footnoting is compulsory: See the module FAQ and the workbin for instructions on how to footnote. When in doubt, ask your tutor ahead of time. There will be penalties for not having footnotes, or for incomplete footnoting.
Questions
The British conquest of Burma led one senior monk to lament in a poem:
No more the Royal Umbrella, No more the Royal Palace, And the RoyalCity, no more... This is indeed an Age of Nothingness 'Twere better we were dead.
Such sentiments were commonplace among the religious elite of different colonised societies and indeed the religious establishments were often at the forefront of millenarian, anti-colonial movements throughout the 19th and 20th centuries. Examine critically the role of religion in ONE anti-colonial movement or uprising in Asia.
Western and Japanese imperialism are often held up as the seminal moments in the exploitation in Asia. However, there were Asian kingdoms that also conquered and controlled other Asian territories. Elaborate on ONE such example and compare/contrast this mode of colonialism with European colonialism of 16th-20th centuries.
Were Asian countries doomed to be colonised?
Compare and contrast the process of decolonisation between any TWO countries featured in this course. Examine critically the modes of decolonisation (violent versus peaceful transition) and explain why these were the paths taken.
"Countries in Southeast Asia and South Asia today did not exist as nations until the British, Dutch or French created them." Do you agree? Consider in a critical manner the ideas of nation and nationalism in answering this question. Choose as examples TWO countries, one from each region.
The Asian values debate is often seen as the debate between human rights and the practices of authoritarian Asian governments. Looking at the broader historical context of the 1990s, critically analyse the emergence of, and the criticisms made against the concept of Asian values.
For centuries, women have been missing from the manuscripts of historical tomes. When Asian women are mentioned, they are seen as having freedoms today because of the colonial interlude. Do you think this is true? Using the example of an Asian society, critically examine the changing role of women in pre-colonial and colonial times in order to make your judgement.
Betholt Brecht once wrote a poem that questioned whether great men were alone in making history, whether they alone built great monuments and whether they alone defeated armies. Historians have responded by recovering the stories of ordinary people - from prostitutes to rickshawmen to railwayworkers to soldiers to labourers and slaves. Use an example from Asia to show how non-elite groups or individuals contributed to the rich historical tapestry of these countries, relating it to any broad theme within this course.
i've been reading loads of these... then this occurred to me as one of the most accurate... somehow i realised most of my relationships are love at first sight... *even though i never admit to them* God of Prophets (January 1 to February 2)
Those born under this sign have a sure talent for recognising Mr./Ms. Right the first time they see him/her - for them it's often a matter of love at first sight. When this happens, usually at a chance meeting in public places like shopping malls or restaurants, you can attract him/her by radiating happiness. You'll find it will captivate him/her
omgomgomgomgomgomgomgomgomg... i fell down in front of adam after work... was walking towards his car in the carpark... missed a step and fell hard on the ground... heinkein dresses, potato chips, my bag fell out of hands... i could feel the excruciating pain at my ankle... but was so embarrassing that i couldn't be bothered with it... quickly forced myself to stand up despite the shock i got... and kept laughing cos lisa kept asking me to walk straight. luckily... warren country club is only 2 mins drive away from my home... i bore the pain on my foot on the car... i have been working my ass off these few weeks... i don't know for what reason... at first... it was purely to keep myself occupied... so i won't spend time thinking of supererogatory stuff. then later... the thought of end year trips and beauty treatments became my motivation... i want to go to the spa resort at batam... then i want to go to hongkong and taipei for shopping... i know my parents won't sponsor me those trips... cos they've already paid for the family end year trip to china again =( i seriously hate holidays to china... it's freaking cold at the end of the year. anyway... think it's time to stop working for a while already... final exams are approaching in less than 2 months' time have to lock myself at home to study.
was working at oktoberfest yst... after work... all prepared to party again... joreen, jiali, zeta and i headed to taboo...

5.06 am... fresh from shower... the night was hella fun... work from started from 4.30pm... oktoberfest at china square central... and ended at 12am... after work, a few of us stayed back for a while to drink.
jiali and i happened to wear the same combi of everything white top with white skirt... gold ribbon... gold earrings... gold shoes... so loving right... lolx.
then, jiali, zeta, serene and i headed to TABOO... which was walking distance from where we were. I would say this is one of my best times at TABOO... the 4 of us were playing like crazie... got onto the podium and dance with the "guys"... omg... and i actually dance with a les sooooo closely. as usual... there are so many cute guys... too bad they ain't for us... den the first thing david gan saw me was he put my hair behind my ears... hug me and said... "you are so pretty..." So sweet right... that's one thing i love whenever i go TABOO... everyone treats you sooooo damn nice even if you are a girl. i dunno how many kisses i got and how many i kissed last night... but zeta and serene were even more happening. haha. there were loads of new staff that i've never met before... but jerry, ben, carl, walus, eddie were there. TABOO closes at 3am plus... so we left and headed to zeta's friend's pub at boat quay sat there for drinks a while. Serene was still super duper active and awake... she went round looking for places where we can continue dancing... but jiali and i were too tired... i could hardly walk a few more steps. In the end, jiali and i gave devils bar a miss... zeta and serene went to devils.
That's all for the night.
Have to start preparing for work now... tonite we might be heading down to TABOO again! where fun continues... =)

Sat for my econs midterm test today... i was mugging through the lecture notes from early morning till it was time to enter the hall... ok.. i admit... it was extreme last min revision... but was unintentional... wanted to start studying from last night... but met up with merv for coffee and movie at jurong pt... so we managed to catch "World Trade Centre"... the show wasn't as good as expected... cos the entire show only focus on 2 policemen who were trapped... though it was a lil' touching. But it doesn't really matter, what mattered most was the company that made the show seem more pleasant. oh yah, anyway back to the test... i felt as if i was gonna fail terribly when i was doing the paper... i wasn't sure with my answers and there were a handful of questions which i didn't know how to do. i wasn't able to concentrate as i was too drained out with certain issues. but it turned out to be not as bad when i compared answers with my mates... hope the results won't be disappointing. something cool happened... those sickening invigilators or lecturers took ridiculous long to count the papers... the test ended at 7pm... and they collected the papers... and after 25 minutes they haven't release us... everyone was feeling aggitated and growing impatient... then suddenly a guy who was 2 seats away from me took his bag and stormed towards the exit... then the girl right behind me did the same thing... slowly everyone around me got up... just for your info... the exam hall was not small... i was sitting at seat 697... there were 700 over students... i didn't know if i should do the same thing too... cos we were not allowed to leave yet... the lecturers were too shock to react and control... so they finally announced "you may leave the hall now". WTH... they kept us waiting 25 minutes just to count papers... there were more an 10 invigilators... even chickens can count faster. alrite... now i have to do some project stuff... goodnite... chocolate dreams baby...
11:54 PM
it sounds like i always land in relationships like the scenarios of tv serials sometimes i wonder does being boring makes a girl seems as if she's the one you can count on the rest of your life... it hurts a million more than when it ended... why pry open the wound that was recovering... why tell me how happy you feel when you're with me and how much you miss those times when we were together when you already have the answer in your heart... ... it hurts like no one's business... i no longer know what to say or do anymore... even though i know i have the power to choose the way i want things to go... but i don't know which way should i go... or rather i can't bear to end this too... ((at that moment... it was too late to turn back... i didn't know what should i do to change things... so i just followed what my heart told me too...))

last nite was fun... work started at 7pm yesterday at Singapore Swimming Club... jiali, madeline and i were working together... was quite tiring there cos the in-charge wasn't very pleasant. anyway.. my feet was hurting big time. was suppose to go devils bar to meet janice and kylie... but i won't be able to stand an longer in heels the moment i get there. after work... i still didn't feel like going home... jiali suggested to chillout at Mind Cafe. Left SSC at 12am... headed Mind Cafe at Boat Quay... on the way there found out some stuff... omg... it was such an coincidence... whahaa jiali and i shared some secret... i can't wait for some things to happen... (fransca is all around...).. so BEWARE baby. Melissa and Shuhua came to join us. So we spent hours playing games... Bokus, Charades... a few more... but can't rmb the names. Oh anyway for those who haven't been to Mind cafe(click on it)... it's a cafe that provides a wide range of games that you may not find in Singapore. A place where you can meet up with your friends for games over food, snacks and drinks. Not free though.. charges per hourly... but at a reasonable rate. Had a great time during the games... especially charades... jiali, shuhua and madeline's friend teamed up... while madeline,melissa and i another... shuhua and madeline were the "actors" for the teams.... shuhua is a calm and serious one who is very clear in her actions... while madeline is the one that created the entire atmosphere... she's totally hilarious... all of us couldn't stop laughing at the actions she does. especially when it came to the word "blanket".. she hurriedly took off her jacket and wanted it to act as a blanket... all of us starting bursting out in laughters.. everyone in the cafe turned and look at her actions... even the waiter was laughing. She's sooooooo cute. The cafe closes at 3am... so we left the place... jiali and i still didn't want to go home... so we headed down to Momo at 3am. The crowd at the dancefloor wasn't pleasing. Left the place at 5am... Sexy sent us back home... together with xiao dai - his soft toy tortoise =)... a very cute one... sexy name his bolsters and soft toys... xiao ming, ah gong, xiao hong and xiao dai. Poor boy has gastric flu... hope he gets better soon.
((what's going on? what did i just do again? the thing goes on forever... and it was another bold experience))

This post is gonna be flooded with pics... ... but i know you love it... (if don't agree... then don't scroll down)...
ahhhh huhhh! see i knew it... you wanna see =p ! (ok childish) on thursday night... jason, stella, weili and i went to catch the starlight movie... the one at padang... where you watch it outdoor under the stars (or rather just under the moonlight... cos there were no stars) It was showing "The Breakup"... Mmm... i know 'e movie is outdated... but that's the only movie on screen that night... so tt's too bad for those who've watched it before. There were loads of ppl... almost everyone set their mat on the ground... except for some extras... and we were one of them... lol... stella and jason went to buy comfy foldable chairs just for the show.. so we found a place... set the chairs up... and stuck our asses on it... happily mucnching on potato chips.. marshmallows and sushi. The entire idea of watching a movie outdoor was quite lovely... the only bad thing is there were too many people... so the ambient wasn't as romantic as expected.
After the movie... went to the place next to DXO at explanade for dinner. Then, Jason us back home...
The last pic for that day...
The next morning... Had to drag myself outta bed for work APB Oktoberfest... Zeta, Joreen and I were working. After work... Mervyn (Jo's fren) came to pick us up... went to his fren's place to see some clothes... I bought 2 tops =)...
*Zeta and I*
Later in the noon... took a cab and rushed down to Jurong Country Club to work again... Working with June was quite pleasant... omg... she's so tall... and guess what.. she's 3 years younger than me.
*My new found sexy... June and I*
Work ended quite early... Supposed to meet stella and others at Momo... for Don's birthday celebration... but i was too tired and too lazy. So in the end... i gave that a miss. Went to IMM Ichiban Sushi for dinner with June and some guys. That's all lovlies...

MY DESKTOP DIED ON ME!!! so now i just have to rely on my pretty but useless macbook. hmmm... lemme see what's going on in my boring life... last sat... was working at jurong country club... after that... headed to central mall to meet janice, summer and gina. the initial plan was to head to cube... but was empty... we ended up choosing between momo and devils... so we were debating which one to go... we used the toss coin method... whatever results came out... we were still unsatisfied... but in the end we went to momo... whahaaa. bumped into sabrina at momo... hahaa... just as she expected... i was there. stella and her friends came to join me at 2 plus... we left at 4 plus... went to have porridge at chinatown... den headed home. today... i skipped school... oh well... that's nothing new. met up with constance for lunch at Ikea... loads of stuff to catch up with one another after lunch... we shopped in Ikea... she bought loads of stuff for her new rented place... i was hopping to see loads of nice stuff for my room... i need to change everything in my room again... i NEED a change of luck badly... SHOO away those who are out to break my heart. After all said... i only managed to buy a tray to put my excessive hair products. We left ikea... with one whole big overloaded trolley of household stuff... loaded everything into her car... went to pick her hubby up... then they sent me home. can't wait for their new house to get ready... which is of walking distance from my place... then i got exercise and late night kopi kaki already. It was nice seeing her today =) okies... tt's all for today... gonna check out the O.P.I nail polish series... drop me a msg if any of u wanna get... i think i might be able to get $10 per bottle (usual price abt $20) oooolalaa...

On Thursday and Saturday night... it's the annual Oktoberfest at Swiss Club again... had great time working with those i'm familiar with... joreen, jiali, gladys, madeline...
Then on friday night... i headed to zouk with someone and his friends... and i'm still wondering if it was a wise choice... i guess it wasn't even though i had a great time... that night left a deep mark in my heart. the next morning... i woke up feeling sooo blessed... finding myself in someone's embrace... but it was the last time. on sunday morning... i found out something bad happened... and sometimes i feel sad for her... for not treasuring her own self-pride... why resort to such despicable method? but i thank her for one thing... she made me realised how strong i can be... and that i've learnt to take control of my emotions... and handle my feelings in a better way than before. then i know how good it feels when i'm in control of my life. on monday... i went back to sch for project meeting... new media and communications project... nothing much happened that day... but i suffered from insomnia that night... and the following nights after that... but a call from sexy made me felt much better... tuesday noon... i returned to school again... this time was for employee management proj meeting. i had to make a trip to tampines mall to collect my preordered shoes. it was so nice of cirong to accompany me... so after collecting... we shopped around in tampines mall... all in all... i went home with 4 new pairs of shoes and 1 gorgeous hairband. before heading home... while we were talking at macdonalds... i suddenly started to shiver and was feeling hot... i was falling sick... so i took a cab home all the way from tampines to cck. tt nite i developed a fever. i couldn't sleep no matter what i do and was in pain... and i started imagining things (which supposedly came true) at 2am... sexy called me... and realised i was sobbing and sick... and wanted to come pick me and bring me to the doctor... surprisingly, i refused... i don't know what the hell was wrong with me... but i have to admit... i totally regretted it. 100%. Finally... i'm going to touch on the happenings today... this morning... i had assignment at Sexpo Conference.... which was held at Scarlet Hotel(click to see) wanted to book it last time... but was fully-booked. 'e hotel is indeed a glamorous one. Xiao Yan was doing it was me... so what we had to do was to wear kinky costumes... i was suppose to be in bunny... but whahaaaaaa... i sabo xiao yan... convinced them that xiao yan has slimer legs... so let her wear the bunny suit... and that's why i ended up in the she-devil costume...
the entire media conference thing ended at 1 plus... so xiao yan, natasha and i headed to town for food... went to cineleisure... after food.. wanted to catch a movie... but not much nice movies... omg... natasha is such a bold and wild baby... i shan't elaborate... but she has got an attitude... i like =p... xiao yan and i went on a shopping spree... we were like crazy... shopped around at paragon... and we were so damn tempted to splurge on high-flyer goods... so we went over to taka... bought clothes at zara... later we saw Armani Xchange on sale... then xiao yan pulled me in... so i bought a dress and she bought a sweater. we walked over to coffee beans at wheelocks... relax and chill there till 6 plus... met moon and she passed me the tops. after that.. i made a trip all the way to simei just to sign that damn APB contract again... felicia waited for me... we went for dinner... shopping... and girls' talk... abt 9... we headed back to cck together... it was a pretty fruitful day i would say... ((it's either too much dirt that blurred visions... or too much white lies just to make a fgly girl feels gorgeous))
