You Are 60% Weird

You're so weird, you think you're *totally* normal. Right?
But you wig out even the biggest of circus freaks!

Another day out

Today went out for lunch with Dear dear, so funny lah, we can't decide where to go, just drive and drive, wanted to go to Tiong Bahru, halfway driving Dear was too tired, decided we should go Holland Village. Holland Village nowhere to park, decided to go to this Rideout Macs along Farrer Road and Queensway.. If you know where I am talking about, this park like place in the middle of nowhere and you'll be like eating in a park... Anyway, we ended up driving in the wrong direction and ended up eating at Serene Centre, which is now packed with St Margaret's Ladies.

After lunch we rackied the place (like there is anything much to see) and then went off. Can't decide where to go again so ended up at Jurong East Library's Cafe after much driving around almost near town. The Avocado Flow is superb, light yet nice. Then Dear went off for his first class of his upgrading studies. I continued shopping and ended up buying three pieces of clothes. Guess how much I spent?

I bought a little jacket, those short short kind, one spaghetti flora print cotton dress and a glossy silver dress.

Happy happy! =)

Shop shop and shop

Yesterday went to mustafa and shop with Eileen and Mus, Dear decided to detach and shop on his own.

I bought these:


bling bling ponytail hair clip @S$6.00
indian style bangle @ S$2.50
another set of indian style bangle @ S$3.00

I love the children's (because of the suitability of size) punjabi suit, cheap and nice.

Also bought a big box of incense for my dad, white musk "flavour"/"fragrance".

Today after tuition at Dairy Farm, feeling bored I decided to shop in town. At first didn't buy anything at all, feeling a bit grumpy that I am so lousy at spending money despite Dear dear giving me a "blue bird" to spend for the week. In the end bought these:

Cutie/ Mickey Mouse kint top from hang ten @ S$15
Cotton dress from Robinsons @ S$19
Another dress from This Fashion @ S$12

Holidays are Here!

The June holidays are here and I am working hard to maintain my income (relief teachers don't get paid during the holidays). Other than that I am hanging out with friends more because we can accommodate each others' schedule with better ease.

Tonight I am meeting Eileen and Mus and Koong for Indian fod. Then we are going to Mustafa to shop. I am eye-ing the bangles and accesories, might even buy a set of indian clothes or two. Oh well, hope it is fun.

New shoes and new nail polish

Yesterday had another quarrel with Dear because he was habitually late. My point is that he shouldn't have arranged to meet when he can't make it and end up have to extend/postpone the meeting time 10 by 10 minutes. Let me stress this: asking someone to wait 30 minutes in a shopping mall is not as bad as calling/sms-ing 3 times of "please wait another 10 minutes". In case some people still don't get it, here's how it works: if I know I were to wait 30 minutes (and that he doesn't fully stick to it, meaning I will have about 40 minutes in a block) I would have shopped around; but not knowing how many bloks of 10 minutes he will be late, I will probably want to save him the trouble of figuring out where I am, and I will just be nice to stand in one spot and wait for him (unappreciatively) to appear... And he actually took me to a restaurant, ordered hot tea for both of us, and I was ranting about feeling moody about his being late, and he just walked off, telling me to eat by myself, without paying for the tea! So I sms-ed him to come back, that I have no money and he is ungentlemanly to leave me stuck to "Wash dishes" for HIS drink, he did return after 30 minutes (see, wasted so much time in a day)... Ok, just my grouses! NEXT!~

After that I went to IMM (late) to meet up with Kat and Yat for shopping and dinner before Gamelan. Kat bought quite a lot of tidbits at Daiso. I bought myself a new pair of MONDO shoes at only S$9.90. They are blue in colour, much like turquiose, and I felt like buying something else to match it since that is not too common a colour. Wanted to buy some funky colour dress, but nothing cheap enough for me to slurge and just fun to have kind of price, so I kind of feel like buying turquiose nail polish.

Walked past The Face Shop... HEY! Sale! $2.90 each, choose choose try try, Kat applied to show me those I feel like testing as I have my dropping off pink colour on, then I decided to clean off my own and try on my own hands. After many trials and testing, thinking and considering, I bought two colour: a dark pink and a metallic maroon. Almost wanted to paint the maroon (which is outrageous for me who always wears pinkish or transparent) to school, but figured out it might be too "dangerous" since there is meeting today and I'll b in school quite long.

(Four of the colours that I tried)

(I just did this as I typed this entry, not too bad I hope, unless someone volunteers to do manicure for free... I am going to train Dear to do it for me during the holidays)

After all the shopping, the three musketeers went to makan at Secret Recipe. After skipping lunch and feeling happy about shopping, food tastes quite nice, especially the cakes. During dessert, I received a call for gig, quite cheap and I kind of regretted taking it up since no incentive for a huge instrument (yangqin) like mine, needing to foot extra cost to get transport. Just in case people are interested (hopefully I am not revealing confidential info as some musicians like to claim), it's S$60 for a 30 min slot. There are times I get S$250 for 20 min plus transport claim and bonus in a angbao. Those were the good times...

Then it's Gamelan plink plonking.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wish List for Dear (or any lovingly nice friend) to fulfill:

1. Seashell bracelet

2. Chomel necklace (the $16 one with butterfly flat paper-cut like pendant I saw when I went shopping with Eileen the week Dear ignore me)

3. A camera better than my dimage Z1 3.2 mega pixels

4. A handphone (haven't decide which model but preferably one with 5 mega pixel camera and MP3)

Thomas Manhart

This is my prof, Dr Thomas Manhart, he says students always put photos of him, those that he is ugly in, looking like vacuum cleaners. Now I am gonna be a goody-two-shoes, post a sweet nice photo of him.

Isn't he charming?

New deployment

I was just informed by HOD in the morning that my deployment for next two terms will be totally changed, and it will include Normal Tech classes. Wow! She haven't really decided exactly what, but will finalise it by today. *fingers crossed* i shall remember my mother's words, "if you can conquer the worst, you can conquer anything that comes along!"

The holidays are coming, which means I will be out of job, out of money and yet still going to the Singapore sale to shop! Haha. Dear agreed to buy me a phone (dunno if it's NATO, say-say-only again) and said he will consider about giving me money (like $50) to spend every weekend that he screws up and not able to meet.

I want to change my tuition routine and my source of income, for the better of course so I am now on the lookout for good deals.

Today and Thursday are the last two days I get work for this term all the way until the end of June holidays. I should go practise hard on my instrument and make the June concert a success!

And Dear has not done a lot of things, including the meet-the-parent arrangement which he has promised to set into action since last Mid-autumn (which is las september, 8 months already still no news) Slow is just SLOW, what to do? just keep on watering the seed and wait--- like the heineken ad, set up a beer booth in the middle of nowhere and wait...

Random bits of the past few days

During the week when me and Dear dear quarrelled and had cold war, I bought a beauty product on impulse. It's called a Deep pore rub. Works wonders, suppose to remove whiteheads and allows skin to renew, I used it everyday for the first week ad this week I am using it every other day. It is expensive ok? Such a small canister and it costs S$25. But it really works, beacuse Dear realised that now my skin is smoother and less whiteheads and pimples (not totally smooth and clear though but much improved within one week or using the new product). However I keep feeling that instead of popping on my face, now the pimples are appearing on my back instead, ok lah, you'd say covered under clothes better thn on face. So next time you see me, take notice if it is really true that my complexion has improved, so that I would not only listen to Dear and spend precious money unnecessarily.
(will post a picture of the product soon)

Yesterday, Dear and I went to IMM to have dinner. He bought me a whole packet of kisses (you know the hershey's kisses, chocolate), so cool. But too bad, in the middle of the night after gamelan, I had a fever and ended up vomiting and diarheoa when I got up trying to take some panadol to help the fever. Feels absolutely terrible. Dear asked me to stay home and rest but I still decided to come to school in case other people think I am trying to stay "keng", stay home when there is work and appear when it's free and easy. I am now making use of the time to slowly collect questions for practising in term 3, that way I will have a smoother term 3, no panic, no rush, no stress. I aim to get half a term worksheets prepared and te first 2-3 weeks worth of work photocopied and ready in my cupboard by the end of this term, during the post exam period.

Few days ago, I found this job ad posted by a Korean business man who is here in singapore for 2 weeks. He wants to look for a guide, no need to be a pro-tour guide, but more like a friend who can take him around during his free time. I emailed him and he ended up adding my msn. It turned out that he claims to want to find just a friend who can have coffee with him and speak English to (to practise his English) and he will pay by the hour. On one hand it sounds like the Korean drama Seven Princess's Meiqi, who gets paid for having dinner with guys, no sex, no touching. on the other hand it may turn out to be social escort and who knows he might end up asking for sex. Gulible, trusting, suspicious? which stand should I take? I see it as reasonable money earned for decent company, but there may be scam and gimmicks about it. What do you as a reade think?

Exams are almost over

Nowadays are exas. Now it is almost over, most classes/ levels have no more paper. The graduating classes are still having their papers though on monday and that is it. Dear is taking a break from me, saying he needs time of to mark his script. I am skeptical about whether it's an excuse or a genuine reason. But I decided to just watc and he. He got so worked up when I merely try to suggest if we should go out a litle short while this weekend. I don't understand how can a man have such a fiery temper when I am the one PMS_ing... and not showing obvious signs of PMS even.Sigh.... some quotes from my "friends""Breaks don't work, they are the start of a Stop""Most men you left previously became jerks because you spoil them""If he cares enough about you, whether what you did is right or not, he will think about what caused you to do that before he shows any apparent reaction (or get angry about it from his own point of view)"more comments to add, please add more more more.....

My friend's comment

i think the whole thing involves 2 key issues: (1) punctuality (2) 'face'
assume no assumptions sent 5/3/2008 11:27 PM:
i think the two of you need to discuss these 2 issues, it's obvious that punctuality is on your top most priority list and on his list it could be the other way round
assume no assumptions sent 5/3/2008 11:28 PM:
as for being in front of his friends (how many times? juz this once? or always?) isnt the right thing to do, but i think he's too concerned about than how you actually feel about the issue
assume no assumptions sent 5/3/2008 11:29 PM:
therefore it's only a matter of time before something like this happened unless the two of you have already communicated abt how each of you feel abt the two issues mentioned here
assume no assumptions sent 5/3/2008 11:32 PM:
so even it is true that you shouldnt in front of his friends, he too has to be concerned about why you did so? if he simply dismiss it as a non-issue, wat about the future (assuming you get married, and he's simply not interested in feeling how you feel for e.g.)? so these are some of the things i think you'll have to think through and iron out for a long term relationship to develop
assume no assumptions sent 5/3/2008 11:32 PM:
hope this helps
