*because the memories will always remain, but people move on

 

its definitely been a challenging year and i'm so glad its now over
also in good time for a change in life and some of my priorities
i think the time is up for this space too
will not be deleting it as it contains quite a few memories that im not willing to part with yet it also holds other events are well, part of life, should i say

so right now i've gone over to livejournal. and am still figuring out how to use it
maybe friends only. awesome then(:

have a greater, more beautiful 2008 y'all

i finally know what's the one thing that will bring me back for good
but i've yet to find it
maybe i just don't give myself the chance to

the past few days has been absolutely tiring yet exciting and not any i would like to forget.
anyw, this was the mini class outing to settlers which was absolutely entertaining and loved every minute of it and is a timely reminder on how i should really treasure my nice and lovely classmates taking me through all of the 2 years.
this is to remember them by, although not absolutely significant but memories of that day will surely be thought of.
and which i lost like quite a few games but haha that's not the point.

ya if you can see, im (white) on the top of the photo, supposing to get to the (black) side. and as you can see im losing very terrifically.
and bixia (red) won very sneakily. tsk

then thursday meeting the clique for catchup and other stuff.
didnt take too many people photos but more of food photos. horrible. all the money's going to food pls. not good at all
anyw here's the food

our vil'age crepe

and our rosti. yum! just look at the egg yolk pls, haha

wee's brownie plus icecream. ohmygosh. 10km on the treadmill haha

and the applecrumble which wasnt all that crumbly frm nydc.
and without icecream too):

alright enough of food already. met sihan at vivo after. tsk travelling all over singapore on the fast expiring student pass. sigh. soon transport will be significantly more painful on the pocket. ohwell. make the most of it now then
hit mng sales and all the other shops in vivo. kinda enjoyable walking the malls without agenda and everything.
didnt get anyth much but company was good eh. trotted from one end to the other end of vivo in no particular order trying to find random shops that randomly pops into mind. but, walking's good, burn off all the sinful crumble in the afternoon(:
best find of the night, corduroy cafe, somewhere on level 1. pretty pretty shop with interesting sweets.

'dont shoot me, im camera shy (ya right)'
'oh look look i found something in my wallet, soooo interesting!'
hahaha im probably going to get killed for shooting these but yes, haha

according to some people, this is called the 'ugly side' okayy whatever that means. ahaha

and the pretty side. alright lah
that's all for vivo and friday night
then saturday, christmas service at le meridien margaux ballroom
super christmassy and erh, white. luckily decided against wearing boots. zomg we got caught in the super heavy rain and had to trudge through the rain there. imagine the wet, soggy boots. eww
ya but anyw, service was great and the food was super good looking. although didnt get to taste much but yes what philip and aruna made was super((:

jaslyn and me(:

the most interesting food there. LOL
and the most diabetes inducing brownie ever. sugar is like free seriously heh

joel, jason and philip being forced to be all christmassy at istana park

there you go(: my favourite season of the year.
because it was His love that all of us are here. loves
and because christmas is the season of joy and giving and the season for love

alrighty and a funny / sadistic cartoon to end it off

cute right! heh couldn't resist. so darn sadistic too(:
and omg hady just won asian idol. zomg. being the singaporean that i am, yes i support him too(:

OMG i just rmbed something, how could i forget ohman.
possibly the biggest thing in my 18 yrs of life.
im employed! ohmygosh ohmygosh yeayyyy
more next time then, im tired alr. happy ending to a happy day

 

been busy every single day of the week but am rather happy with life being that way
though i'm getting to be quite tired going out and about but its the happy kind of tired if you get what i mean yeah.
tired but happy and satisfied(:

seem to also have this compulsive need to make myself busy and doing something every single day, otherwise i'd feel like a bum lazing at home, no aim for the day, walking around the house with absolutely nothing to do.
not a feeling that i'd like very much

yesterday was spent at settlers with some of the class. a little weird though the combination of people but everything worked out well. and fun(: hah
but settlers is always fun regardless though.
laughed alot, talked alot, and we only played like 3 games the whole afternoon. thank goodness the company was good

i think we'd really miss the guys when they are due to serve the nation. then we'd be minus the witty comments, the celebrity imitations, and just their presence maybe. ah but my class's a fun lot to be with(:
too bad didnt take too many pictures though, too busy enjoying ourselves then heh
watched the guys pool a little after that, then home

so today, there is zilch on the schedule, with the parents rushing around to do appeals for the brother on PAE admissions. pretty much left alone today.
he got posted to mjc anyw which i thought is great but nope, they beg to differ and so is rushing around getting certs, testimonials and blahblahblah in the appeal to get in tj.
if i were to have a say, i'd just take what's given to me. mj's good too what.
considering the fact that i have a certain bias against my own

boo): i still have nothing to do and nothing planned for today
if only schedules would fit better and i wouldnt have 2 appointments tomorrow and none today. ohwell. even sat and sun are planned out already
except i still have nothing to wear to le meredian on sat.
royal white christmas's the theme, think! think! think!
and community day on sat. yeayy time for some catch up with old old friends.

then its off to camp. and fyi i havent even bought camp essentials. bahh
meanwhile, i'll just think of what to occupy myself with today then(:

in much better state than yesterday. due to uh, better footwear. hahhaa. partially so, partially cos i only went for 1 interview today and most of the time was spent waiting.
but, guess it was worth it cos im like this close to signing the contract(:
was forced to get up so early today cos the bangla painters were at my house at an absurdly early time of 8am.

went in search of 8 claymore hill, claymore point rather hesitantly. seriously, on first look the head office of DFS is really intimidating. but after that it went kinda smoothly from then.
got lost at first at the dfs retail shop on scotts rd spent like one hour walking around the building, through the carparks and up and down scotts road trying to find claymore hill. zzzz
finally found the building and it started pouring immediately after i arrived. and fyi, i didnt have an umbrella on me. i cant be that unlucky all the time man. haha
had to go through three rounds of interview and answered the 'why dfs' question three times. lol.

and i got through all three and met the manager omg yay hahaha
after abit it got kinda fun with all the questions and all, after all, nothing to lose yeah. the part in between the first and second interview most scary, there were like so many people being 'held' in one of the mtg rooms and everything so quiet and all. stifling!
almost felt as though i was going for some exam or something.

spent my whole afternoon there luh and when i came out, finally, at about 6, no more rain((: yay. this is called grace, really. cos the big guy up there knows i cant pick up the phone and call daddy to pick me up. heh
went to wisma to get dinner and home to catch sea games after
not as tired as yesterday but still would rather engage activities which require minimal movement in the evening, like bumming in front of the tv
csi got cancelled due to SEA games, pffft.

shall go pack the room again. cos all previous efforts have gone to waste with the appearance of the painters.

oh, and finally bought christmas cards! want one? send me your address via comments then
want to write me one? by all means. i love recieving christmas cards<3

14 days and counting(:

lesson one on job interviewing, know singapore well and dont wear heels; especially those 3 inch ones however nice they may be. they are all evil.
but, jobhunt day one was interesting enough,cross fingers and hope for the best

started out a little slow though because i happily alighted cityhall when the fullerton is at rafflesplace. welldone. trudged across esplanade and across the bridge and to one fullerton then finally to the hotel itself. took ages to find the 'anderson bridge' entrance, zzz and it was drizzling too, and i was in heels)):
eventually got to the place to find one million and one other people there, pffffffft
waited freaking long just to get into the HR dept and filled out a phone and did like a 5 minute interview. ohwell i cant work for more than a yr so guess chances there're pretty slim huh. although i'd still love to work in a hotel.
plus there're nice uniforms to wear, no need to think of what to wear everyday(:

went back to cityhall to the build-a-bear workshop. omg so cute la the place((: i'd be very happy if i could work there too!
did the walk-in interview thing and i think chances are pretty good there so yeayy

before today actually i didnt know what i was looking for in a job. now i have some kind of an idea.
one which has uniforms
not too far away from home cos travelling is a bore
nice environment where i can interact with people, be it other staff or customers. i really cant imagine myself at this point in life where jobs are not permanent, being stuck at a boring desk job facing the computer screen the whole day.
i need to talk to people, walk about, and have job satisfaction(:

right okay so after build-a-bear, was supposed to go DFS but postponed the interview cos i was too tired to go all the way to the outlet opposite fareastplaza. so decided to check out other retail outlets at suntec just for fun, anyway whats to lose. . haha so went to Gap, levi's, ralphlauren (lol), gloria jeans, actually just to sit down and rest there cos i kinda know the staff from there from the levi's day thing lol, plus saw shuhui (friend of friend) working there.

went to raffles city to check out the metamorphosis thing at the centre arena, its not too bad with more new shops and stuff. wanted to go ask around swissotel but aiyah my feet was screaming bloody murder already pfft. think i got this giant blister on the fourth toe which i dont even want to look at cos it even looks painful.
ooh but a plus point, i saw jamieyeo there
super cool luh she, and pretty too. actually singapore's a great place for celebs to live in really cos even without shades and a cap and everything they dont get mobbed and stuff. so she was just doing her own shopping and stuff with the occassional glance and stuff.
but still! haha i saw a celebrity! lol

met ong at the cathay after that.
watched the golden compass(:
its LOTR meets narnia meets harrypotter really. super fantasy (even with the trilogy;think LOTR)
the child actor was so good luh pls, reminds me alot of emma watson in the older harrypotter shows. must be the accent. am going to read the book its based on (northern lights) and catch the sequels in due time

reached home before ten can you believe it, but felt as though it was already 12. aching all over luh):
not aiding the cause of my tiredness is the newly touched up and painted room)))))))): and everything is in a mess and i might have to find some other place to sleep tonight then. very unhappy
and the paint smell is horrid and killing me. might faint and die of toxic fumes really. ))):

day two starts tomorrow and hopefull by end of the week, i'll be :D
hello DFS, T3 and maybe, just maybe stjames.
and i need to find out where is riverside point. bleh

at last some time to sit down and write something properly instead of rushing an entry in 5 just so i dont forget.
am thinking of setting up an lj cos there're private entries and the layouts are much more changeable. blogdrive is just so inflexible with stuff to do with layouts. had a horrid time loading the blogdrive templates. and they were so cheesy and fugly that i abandoned the template search

okay so laser quest with jc cluster was so fun. although waking up at 8am was so not. really did not expect it to be so fun playing a shooting game under 2 blocks of flats at marine crescent. but was i wrong haha
great bonding time, alot of running, and winning too heh
considering the unsufferable loss we suffered at frisbee cos we all too noob and the rest ultimate pros. conceding 7 goals in 3 min was the ultimate man. hah but that's all behind now. not that we won alot this time luh but at least we won some, its a start i guess((:
and we had so many people for once! to say i wasnt amused throughly throughout the process of games and all that was a major understatement. srsly, the MI guys are the least to say, self-entertaining

lunched at parkway over much talking and laughing and well, bonding
awesome, my kind of saturday morning/afternoon
super dead beat when i got home, and i couldnt plonk on the bed and sleep. why?! because the indian banglas were in my house doing paint touchup jobs. pfffft
my house is still under waranty after 10 years, can you believe that. ohwell and to get it in shape for valuation. anything to boost the value yeah
so there goes afternoon nap)): not too happy about that

left alone cos the parents went for cellgroup(:
love being left the house all to myself really. watched some movies, few eps here and there of onetreehill, friends, 8simplerules and stuff. just random eps though

someone get me the onetreehill dvd set for christmas(: please?
i'll love you to bits whichever kind soul

AND TODAY
i got my phone! - finally / at long last but yes its here
and it has pretty much all the functions i want and need 'cept wifi though but i'll live. dont really need it now though(; so im pretty happy
its not the latest and neither is it the nseries from nokia but its a considerable improvement from the piece of metal i used to own.
it has served me well though and it never died on me once throughout 2 years. in fact the battery is just changed and is still in a rather ok shape so whoever wants it for NS or something cos it doesnt have camera aye just msg me or sth.

so, meet my new baby(: k770i

((:
alright, my first interview(s) in my life tomorrow
then meeting ong for some chill time. yeayy
life's good

alrighty, am back from laser quest
in a very writey mood these days and seeing my thoughts in words is kinda entertaining at times, heh so call me narcisstic yeah
i think the blogdrive font is exceptionally nice to read though, which aids my cause

am going to catch some shut-eye after this, because am so darned tired after the morning's activities
pictures and more when i get them.

parents out this evening so am looking for stuff to do
go out in the evening anyone? (:
hope those people that i sent resumes to call me back soon
ohwell the week seems to be getting off on a good note, the coming week that is. because this one wasnt all that memorable and stuff. ahwell. better days to come(:

hopefully fun awaits, tonight

it really does not do justice to the festive mood and all to have such an angst-ridden entry right on top. just when things are starting to look up again with a rather packed calandar awaiting me the next week. if all goes well

feeling a little bit out of sorts of late. yknow those when you just sit and contemplate.
and contemplate somemore about life, its happenings, the past, present, future.
cliched but yes i have plenty of those times, especially when there're like no events for the day and im all to myself.
its those times that you really count your blessings for the well, blessings in life. be it close friends, not so close ones, appears to be close ones and the rest. and all the nitty gritty details in life and their happenings that makes my life what it is.
ah this is turning rather philosphical ohwell.

got a little irritated and uh, saddened by some stuff that turned out not the way i'd have liked it to
and i guess, people change, people come and go, but i'll have myself for life
im not going to change just because someone wants me to or just cos i need to be a certain way to fit into the person's crowd and what people think and stuff
cos ultimately, you cant please everybody
if i please myself, have plenty of people to enjoy life with me, share my happiness, sadness and everything in between, that's awesome by me.
basically i treasure company - alot, good ones at that. not having to compromise on faith or loyalty or anything of that matter.
and i guess, not everything goes my way huh, that's life
learnt alot from cell today and i figured, hellyeah my faith is ultimately important to me because i've gained so much from it and the love He gave to me
undeserved grace indeed

ok i shall write more when i have the time cos right now, dead tired and tmrw have to wake up early for laser quest((:

and because everybody needs some time alone in the real company of people i can always depend on a phonecall away
