hey guess wad.. i finally collected my contact lenses. haha. its was sort of an impulsive act on my part.. i suddenly thought of e idea one sat on e way home fr my kickboxing lesson. den i went to e optical shop to have it done. haha. i still couldn believe wad i had done that day. and i totally forgot abt e lenses until e optician called yesterday to remind me go collect. and my eyes became bigger!! haha. u noe how small my eyes are rite.. whos e one who always laughed at my small eyes?? and i managed to put on e lenses on my first attempt. even e optician was amazed at how pro i was. haha. *self praise* but im beginning to find e disinfecting and cleaning procedure vv troublesome. oh well, e price to pay.
yesterday rol had nights out so we went to catch a movie at j8 - Jus my luck. erm typical love comedy. theres e magical element abt fate and luck. though still cant believe u can switch luck thru kissing? hhaa. aft e show i reflected a bit abt my life. i felt kinda lucky all my life. at least until now. things have been gg rather smooth sailing for me. i had a happy childhood w lotsa frens. my sec sch life was fulfilling too.. and recently i got an admin job thats paying me well, though its kinda boring. i got a scholarship without bond. ive got so many ppl who care and love me. and i love my personality!!
oh ya! cos last nite's movie ended kinda late, abt 2345.. we thought of trying our luck to see if theres still 53 for us to take home. if not have to take cab leh!! apparently e last bus for 53 is at 2315, so we left e interchange disheartedly to hail cab. but suddenly i rmb theres 58 that we can take too!! so we walked back to see whether theres still 58 not. i dunno whether its luck or not. but e last bus is at 2400. haha. im quite lucky eh. =p

it's kinda boring to stay at home all day.. hai. but nth to do outside too. to go out, u need money. argh.
jj's concert was fab!! other than e last part of crying which i thought a bit fake, e concert was great!! everyone was so high and he sang all e nice songs like jiang nan, cao cao, chi bang, yuan lai, sarang hae yo blah blah. and he waved at me!! haha. cos i screamed while he was singing and he looked at me and smiled and waved! haha. of cos la, we sat on e 2nd row leh. we had such a clear view of him!!
i received e smu matric pack alr. so much info for me to take. gotta digest slowly. speaking of smu, jen's coming to smu!! yay! one more person to accompany e lonely me. as far as i noe, only amelia and weishan are coming to smu. so pathetic huh.
im gg to make full use of e long break before sch starts. ive got abt 2 mths to burn. top of e list will be to clear my table and wardrobe.. haha. bought too many clothes, needa reorganise my cupboard..
au revoir. (it means good bye in french, but im not sure i spelt it correctly) =]

i should reallie curb my spending habits.. haha. but theres alot of things i wanna buy!!
bought a pair of earrings at $4 at marina sq.. $85 on 5 mango tops, cos e sale starts TODAY!! haha. den kexin's pressie (first time i felt so satisfied w my gifts). yep. aft this, im gonna spend on an adidas jacket dat i saw e other day, its an 'original sport', red and white jacket. im considering either that or another pink one. but kexin says e pink jackets are more for ah lians. =p haha. that would be another hundred gone. and i jus fell in love again. haha. w creative's zen v plus mp3 player (2 gb). its so chic and cute!! w a nice colour. its neon green and white. woo! new design, can view photos and video too. costs abt $269 if im not wrong. im hoping there would be discount or smth. itll be for sale 1 or 2 mths later. im actuallie interested in e zen vision m earlier, but i went to check it out today at e creative store. turns out that e buttons are vv hard to press, diff to navigate, and too heavy. e screen is huge (2.5"), thats a plus point. whereas e v plus one is only 1.5". well e vision m has a storage capacity of 30 gb. but no point having such huge storage space too rite.. how many songs am i gg to listen.. 15000? haha.
in comparision, i still think ipod is better. though i have never owned one before. theres no lag in ipod, e scroll is working better than creative's. and thinner and lighter as well. no wonder e price is steeper too. for ipod nano, 1gb costs $268. dun even have video. if u wan video, gotta take ipod that is heavier, more bulky and more expensive. $500 plus i think.
so still zen v plus is e best. cos its small!! i dun mind e small screen cos it makes e whole thing so cute!! and i read e reviews, not bad. too tired to list down e plus points. haha. ok gonna buy it!
maybe gotta go find another job soon..
total = 85 + 4 + 109 + 269 = 467.
start saving!!!!!

im damn bloody pissed! argh. jus recif an email fr my agent. guess wad he told me.. i gotta send e original copy of my last timesheet to them before they can credit my last pay. a fax copy isn enough. but ive been doing that right fr e beginning and nth has gone wrong. i dun mind sending them e copy, but e thing is, ive stopped working and e original copy is w my supervisor! how to get it back and send to e agent? unless i ask my supervisor to mail on my behalf or i go down to e company to retrieve it. either way its too troublesome for her and me. wad e hell. im pissed at e agent for not making things clear in e first place. ive alr given him a week's notice but he mailed me that stupid rubbish shit on my vv last day, at night smmore. wad e hell. no brains wan lo, dunno how to think. so i replied him in a crude and sarcastic manner. wished i had saved a copy of my reply. haha. quite proud of my sarcasm, smth i learnt fr one of my colleagues.
speaking of my last day of work.. i kinda felt upset at e point of leaving. though i had alwaes been looking forward to this day, i felt a pang of sadness come over me. i almost wanted to cry. thinking abt how nice e ppl are to me, and my fav photocopier.. e jokes we shared. scoldings i got, not exactly a happy thing, but nonetheless still memorable. gonna miss everyone, esp my supervisor, siew tee and my best colleague, mengfung!! and all my dept ppl: mr ong, mr yip, johnny, elizabeth, leonard, sim seng chye, lim swee nguan. and of cos e cute copier room boy on 4th floor. haha. ok, enough of reminiscing.
watched cars wif rol today. didn think of watching at first, but too much time to spare so yep. nice show ya. cartoons are alwaes nice. i love cartoons. =)
watched soccer until quite late last nite. didn have enough sleep. tmr still have tution in e morning. *yawns* speaking of soccer, e england vs trinidad's match was boring. until e vv end when england scored 2 goals to proceed to e next round. i thought they would end up in a draw, was so disappointed w england. their passes and crosses are much better than trinidad. ball control too. but smhow they lack e luck, or should i sae e skill to shoot? haha. they either kick too high or hit e goal post.. everywhere but not into e net. haha. i sound like its so easy to score, but yet they cant do it. im no football expert here ok. but this is wad i observed fr this morning's match. hope england can do better in e next round, aft all theyve got really good players. dun disappoint your fans.
alright. nites.

2 days ago i watched world cup until 5am! all that edmund's fault, dun let me sleep. haha. e germany vs costa rica match was exciting, opening match wad.. at least i wasn bored to sleep. e poland vs ecuador one was vv disappointing i heard. sorry, im not an avid football fan, haha. but nonetheless, poland was supposed to win, yet they lost 0-2 to ecuador. edmund, i told yoo ecuador will win.
im actually more interested in matches involving brazil, france, england, japan.. japan cos i think they look quite good. haha.
so 4 more days til end of work.
weishan introduced me to a relief teaching job at yumin pri sch (at tampines), so darn far. but i feel like giving it a try. cant imagine slacking for 2 mths before i go into uni. better occupy myself w smth to do, when everyone else has begun school and rol is off to taiwan for training. anw, if i feel like quitting, i jus have to give 24hr notice. haha. jus trying to convince myself to take up e job. and e pay is really good too u noe. ;)
im gonna make myself super busy! rol will be coming out thurs nite until mon. e following week ill go out and have fun w all my girlfrens, be it shopping or jus stoning.. gotta prepare a loong shopping list. den w e world cup fever still on, ill catch all e nicie matches, and sleep late! woohoo. 24th june im gg for jj's concert. so many things to do, cant wait!!

guess wad. agd offered me their scholarship!! im one of e lucky 3 who got it! haha. but im gonna turn in down since i alr accepted e smu scholarship. but e problem is, smu insists they haven received e scholarship forms which i had sent over 2 wks ago! so now i have a chance to reconsider my decision. i had alwaes wanted to get e agd one, and cos i havent heard fr them for so long, i thought i didn stand a chance. and e smu scholarship came along, so i gladly accepted it. come to think of it, psc had indicated before that results will be released early june. well, i jus didn have e patience to wait for that long. i had a chat w junxian last nite to talk abt this issue. and he helped to sort out my thoughts and reaffirmed my decision to take up e smu one. i alwaes get more blur and confused when im given more choices. it is vv obvious that path A is e right way to go, but ill think of how path B can be better than A. haha. thats me la. well wad junxian saed makes sense. smu scholarship can provide me w more options.. e agd one is like signing on w army. for 4 years. wad if i dun like e working environment there? w e smu scholarship, i can still apply to work in agd aft i graduate. actuallie i shouldn fret so much rite.. e choice is obvious. but i guess i jus cant bear to let e agd scholarship go.. aft all it was my first choice scholarship. k la, let others have a chance lo! ;)
today no work. decided to take leave. jus one more week of work left!! =D

lala @ Saturday, June 03, 2006
ive got my SAT score!! haha. didn dare check initially, but curiosity still got e better of me. yooll still gotta noe sooner or later rite.. so yep, i zeroed in on e math section e first thing e results appeared online.. 740. cham. cmi alr. haha. den i moved on to writing. 700. ooh, not bad. den sub divisions of writing. multiple choice 66/80. essay 11/12. 11? reallie? haha. ahem. den finally critical reading, which has alwaes been my worst section.. with all that vocab and passages. i did ok, with a score of 660. total=2100. jus met e mark! haha. frankly, 660 is e highest score i got for all e critical reading practices. my previous exercises hovered ard 500 plus to 600. so im quite happie with that. math is slightly disappointing though. i didn bear much hopes for this test seriously, cos i sorta burned out aft 5 sections or so. there was hunger and cold, and i couldn concentrate very well. i even returned late to e hall for one of e math sections. *excuses* haha. and aft e test, i thought even if i couldn get 2100 (which i had never gotten before =p), im never gg to sit for e test again! so mentally draining and torturing. sitting there for abt 5 hrs, with a few 5 min breaks in between and no food!! alamak. if it weren for e smu double deg and scholarship, i wouldn have considered taking SAT. haha. oh but den again, 11/12.. tsk. =D *not bad ar* hahhaa.
tuition is starting this week again, later at 1030am. den followed by kickboxing. jen pangseh me!! shes now happily enjoying herself in penang. grr. meeting my sis at tm to gai gai. she says i owe her a pressie cos she passed her math exam. for e very first time. haha. should reward her la.
so fast eh.. 5 mths gone.. 2 plus more mths to go, before we begin a new phase of our lives. jen, ivy and me are all split up. ivys gg nus, jens gg ntu and im gg smu. how nice. haha. thinking abt it makes me feel a bit upset. aft all, weve stuck tog for 2 years, with NO quarrels at all (i think).. there was so much joy and laughter and tears we shared.. fond memories of our class and e 3 sisters. yah, and ivy is e least of e 3 evils. according to weixian. ivy noes me e best.. she noes when im feeling troubled and upset, (like psychic) and shes alwaes there to lend a listening ear.. jen is a bit blur, i mean very blur. smtimes she gets a bit too paranoid, haha, come to think of it, its quite funny. and shes so neat and meticulous. haha, helps me check for mistakes in my work too. can alwaes count on her for help.. =)
reminds me of my sec sch too.. huitian, shuping and i went diff ways too. sort of la.
