You're The Direction I follow To Get Home

1)WORK

IA this week's been goodie goodie. (:

Finally starting on experiments: sample prep, gold deposition (unfortunately, I don't have access to the Au otherwise I could steal some and we could all be rich!), lspr measurements, bilayer formation and next week, more molecular testing, more layer by layer depositions and even SEM training!

Okayyyy, I know I sound like a complete nerd now. But I really like it!

I've been working OT the past two days and yes, I've been complaining (though I don't quite deserve to cos I have DAMN slack days too). Just unlucky the OT falls on days I have a tight after-work schedule (non-leisure related)

Lunch breaks have also been awesome with my aN-yoU-aSs pallies, with fellow course mates and the lonely Hub, with my dearest OG mate ongjunx(: , getting used to the way around campus and eating out of school.

Despite the reallyreallyreeeaaalllly low pay, I'm pretty glad I was granted my first choice company. When I'm bored or waiting for results, I can just head over to the Computer Room and I'll always find someone there, or head down to L3 library and disturb Ah Chu. =)

Today, Junx came over while taking a break from his Fyp report and I was showing him the experiment. Also taught him how to use O.rigin to smooth curves (which he still doesn't know how to do after 1 year in Im.re) and he is impressed by me! :D Yay. I also hit my head against a cabinet which has never happened in the past few days but it had to happen when he was around.

J: "Don't worry, I won't tell G you knock your head."

Me: "If you tell her, I'm gonna ask her to 'boxbox' you!!!!"

=)

I win. Heh

2) IVPee

Only 1 game this week instead of the supposed two. Tuesday was our second game against SPee. Anyway, just as I thought I was doing fine, I got sat out TWICE in one game. Apparently I "needed to get out for a while before more possession lost or losing you (me) altogether". In other words, I was being destructive then self destructive/destructed.

We won anyway, 6-2.

Thanks Sugar Fairy for running down from N.us to watch the game! =)

We also caught IVPee Bball girls semis on Tuesday after our game. It was an extremely exciting nerve-wrecking one between us and aN-yoU-aS. From trailing by a-few-points, we caught up to a draw, then to a lead, then gave away free throws and the match ended with a draw. (The coaches of the opposition were so fierce, they even threatened the officials)

So it was extra time of 5 mins where we had a good lead initially until opposition caught up and the aN-Tee-yoU team had to work extra hard to take the lead again.

Eventually we won by two points and it was an awesome, awesome feeling. Plus seeing our fellow (ex) teammie playing so well, leading her team and scoring- we were so proud of her =)

So yesterday was the finals, which we rushed down after training. We were already trailing by a bit, but the bball girls kept trying to catch up. Each time they narrowed the gap, an unexpected (but freaking accurate) 3 point shot will come from the aI-Tee-E girls.

There was a period of time the aN-Tee-yoU team was ON FIRE but it wasn't enough. :(

We lost in the end, by 4 points ( I think?) Cyn still played awesome but it was really sad to see her cry :( She didn't cry when we lost S.UniG and she told us to be strong. So it was really saddd =((

3) FOOD

Been eating way too much fast food, Macs after watching bball on Tues (twister friezzz!), BurgerKing on Thurs and Macs again todayyyyy! :\ Had bubble t on Wed too, and a major frogurt craving due to the insane sun. The BenJerry's at Vivo's closed for renovation too. :(

4) MISC

Work ended early on Monday so I went to fix the oh-so-terrible hair of mine (I snipped my own hair and it was hideous).

Caught Blindside on Wed with liangshit my Curly Hair Friend after lunch with Ahgong and Yanns in campus. =) The show's really really good. =) We both enjoyed it. Shopped for Ahgong's farewell gift before heading down to his place for the (not-so-)surprise farewell party. (:

what will I do without you, Ah gong.

Have a safe flight to London.

-

Down with stomach flu.

Either pancakes/meatballs at I.kea,

okonoyami at S.hokudo,

or Merlionster from Ben&Jerry's killed me.

ZZZZ.

But anyhow, Feng yun was a terrible, terrible movie.

And Trojan gathering was awesome, as always.

And and, I'm glad S is back(:

SUGARFAIRY

[edited]

Friday: Koi & Strawberry Cheesecake from Ben&Jerry's

Saturday: Island C.reamery & Dessert after dinner (chomps!)

Sunday: Island C.reamery from my own pint!

Monday: Poh Poh Char (as Haha would say it)

Tuesday: Ice cream @ JayBee (damn lousy though)

CAN DIEEEE.

Monstrous Disastrous!

As promised we've got our V.ermonster treat on Wed(:

After lunch at this pasta place in W.heelock, we headed down to D.empsey where we waited close to an hr for coach to go home to find her wallet and come back down again.

20 scoops ftw!! Played some game among ourselves and found out more about each team mate(:

Then we headed down to catch the last rounds of Polite and joined S for dinner at Rafflescity BK where I bumped into pals from 13 who said, "pretend you didn't see me."

Whichever works. (:

VerrrrrrrrrrrrrrmonSTAR(s)!

Saturday after two games of W.tl under the bloody hot sun (aka everyone gets sunburnt and some look like they've blusher on. Heeheehee)

Three Unis of Touchfoooties. Team.

Then we scooted off to Dempsey for B&J's;


VERMONSTER = 2o scoops

= totally wiped out in less than 15 minutes
Forfeit for Zhong Ji Mi Ma. (:



And on Sunday, I finally went for service! After daaaaammmnnn long.
Because, finally, no Sunday morning trainings.


As much as I love the sport, a break from it is good too.
Ankles please recover soooooooooon =(




PS: I cut my hair but no one seems to agree that it has been cut. =(
Btw, the hairdresser said my hair is SOOO black, it glows/shines. (She said, "liang(4)") Hahaha

"What sia, we're like in couple wear."

While I hopelessly try to keep myself entertained for another 40 mins or so,

I have decided to skip testing my patience waiting for TV Serials to load,

attempt to pull a social disappearing act (virtually) by neither signing in FB nor MSN,

and work some brain cells hitting this extremely neglected space.

Let's seee,

over the past weeks,

there have been alot of movies catching, friends catchups, binging, slacking, travelling, training and touch.

Movies:

So on top of Vegas and Ironman, I caught Made Of Honour (courtesy to Mrs. Darcy).

It not only challenged my belief in the existence of purely platonic friendship between the opposite genders, it also battled my tearglands. I thought it was really good and yeah, I'm kinda prepared to watch it a second time already. Haha

And yesterday we movied marathoned with our All-time favourite shows:

The Notebook, A walk to remember.

Watched Joshua cos I thought it'd be thrilling, but no, to our disappointment, it sucked.

Moulin Rouge was unfortunately in Chinese,

and I fell asleep 15mins into Armageddeon. Not that I'm not doing the movie any justice, but it was already past 1am. I deserve to be excused. (:

Friends:

Over the week, I've met D (again), Wendy and Zoe on Monday,

Zooed on Tuesday with S,

Team-ed on Wed,

Lunched with Bao and Team Dinner on Thursday,

Seetohed on Friday, supposed to have supper with Griz and Zi after training (which ended early!!) but had dinner with Ek before delivering a surprise.

Gobbled dinner with Zi and A at the airport on Saturday, where we

Lost a Best Friend to Germany for approximately a month (who has yet to sms me! SEEF you suck! =( Ok kidding, I love you :D )

Missed Zouk with V and J for apparent reasons.

Binging:

I currently have three boxes of cheesecake in cupcake cups in the refrigerator,

not forgetting the ever occasional supper that I allow myself to have since I (supposedly) train too much,

the Macha/Red bean madness at Shokudo on Thursday,

Ben and Jerry's/Ice cream overdose.

And just yesterday, we cooked tomato and cream based pasta for a table of Six.

Ok, I didn't mean WE. I was effectively the assistant being more of a hassle then a help, but yeah. Chef K did all the cooking.

Craved for Waffles, which was Lunch today.

Touch/Training:

Besides the daily trainings alternating between School and Club, the Summer League is finally over. No more Finals against Blacks like I thought we'd have.

We played our last Prelim Rounds and I scored my last touch down for (and of) the season.

The battle scar on my left arm looks slightly disturbing, like a slit across my batwings.

Reminder: Fitness Test Tomorrow! :(

***

I just got back from a day with Luling, baking/Step Up.

And dinner with Hr. Sushi! Again!

I think I need to swear off Jap food for a while.

It was hot, I am tired,

but I am happy (:

What Matters Most, Everything You Feel.

Alot has been happening,
but basically to condense it all,

• I've officially moved out on 6461305, and along with it, I took with me, a bruised arm.
• I ref-ed a game on Thursday alone (BRAVE GIRL!) but had awesome friends who came down to support and made myself 45$ richer
• I can finally strike Dempsey off my postponed dates with the Touchgirls cos we FINALLY made our way there after a good 3 months. BUT we still have to do it again with Jean and Yanyi the next time
• I attended my first club training after quite sometime. Heh oops.
• TAN.IWHAS WON THE S-T-L championship!!!!!!!!!
• I courageously spent my Friday night after training/team dinner with a bunch of strangers til past 2am.
• I AM OFFICIALLY A LEVEL ONE REFEREEEE. (quoteunquote Vie, "big money, big money!" But actually it's not really big money, but yeah. You get the idea?)
• I finally met Ding (inserts lotsa hugs kisses hearts flowers happy faces)
• I saw YOUKNOWWHO in town today. Thinking back, it was quite hilarious how I tried to hide from her. Heh heh heh.
• I am very tired =(
• Adiv rugby finals tomorrow, I hope the boys swipe the title again!!
• Blacks game tomorrow, postponed.

Is that Okay with You?

I've been avoiding this particular page the entire afternoon,
been attempting to understand the damned Weierstrauss substitution,
which leaves me trailing behind by 3 big leaps.
And I'm growing frustrated,
I promised myself to finish something before the big match later.
GO MAN UTD!

Today I woke up to Mc Breakfast,
but I ditched it for peanut butter cookies + chocolate milk (simplicity is bliss)
and lunch was donuts, muruku, almondjelly longans, more chocolate milk!
And guess what else lies in the freezer, awaiting me to devour it!
BEN&JERRY'S. =D


Yesterday:
I could illustrate a classic case of sacrifice and power of love to you,
zizi travelled into school for a short lunch with me. Unbelievable how close the two schools are situated yet take almost an hour and forty five mins to travel from one to another.
Thank you ziziii. Love* (:

Training yesterday was not that good again.
I've come to a conclusion that my Fridays are indeed, Freaky Fridays, where I run extremely low on the luck and ball sense.
Can never toss proper balls nor catch proper passes. Not forgetting my shuijiao was churning in my tummy! =(

We had team dinner last night, a last min change of venue to Pizza Hut over Fish & Co,
and we only ate around 930. Played "I never", which brings back 78 & Trojan campfire night memories. I only reached home past twelve, and I fell asleep watching teeveee! Heh.


Thurs; we're done with French! (More or less). Gave myself a 3 and a half hour dinner treat, where we went from Canteen to Canteen, and eventually out of school.
We nearly covered the entire perimeter of school by foot (no, we weren't jogging)
and by the time I reached back, I wasn't surprised I was hungry again. Haha.

Wed! My tragic day, I rushed from training to meeting (which lasted 3 half hours in a freezing conf room) without dinner,
and my phone died while I was trying to contact Sc.
I had dinner anyhow, at the usual supper place near City Harvest, while Roomie was busy Trick or Treating around the Block.




I need to do something about my hair before my coach kills me. =((

Lovers I don't have to Love.

Eventary VS Iventary VS Inventory:

I met LULING today =D *Jumps for Joy*
Our very overdue date.
So she has a new phone with a 2 megapixel camera, and that explains the photos(:

We made a wasted trip down to Singtel HQ then attempted walking to Suntec from Somerset under the (hot) Sun that left us Sweaty and Sticky, so we gave up and took a Bus down instead. *whines* Adult fare, adult fare. =\

We popped by Toys R' Us without the intention of reliving childhood but instead, living our roles as Adults now, had this silly embarrassing moment of not knowing how to spell "Inventory" thanks to the terrible pronounciation of the lady, which made us totally clueless about what word she meant to convey.

Despite my effortless efforts (haha) to cut down on my sugar/fats intake, we had a Banana Split with Caramel swirls and chocolate sprinkles and whipped cream at Ben & Jerry's, where we talked about everything that happened from the last time we met til now. And don't underestimate us cos, a few hours is enough since we don't stop talking. HAHA.

We took a stroll down to Esplanade cos I was hunting for this secret Jap Restaurant which we failed to find, and saw beautiful artwork displays but we were too lazy to ask people to help us take photo and we couldn't do it ourselves.

And we walked around and around Esplanade, took black faced photos with clear blue skies, walked to the Merlion Park, and took many photos with Mr. Merlion with the wind in our hair.

"Thanks for the Tokyo Bananas!"

"Welcome. I hope you didn't eat too many cos they are fattening."

~

It's frustrating how you are very aware of your horizontal expansions however, you feel so helpless and out of control to your body's needs. Constant reminders to eat less/healthier become effortless chantings and late dinners contribute more to the widening. Random cravings for Jurian Puffs makes things worse. (FYI: Durians are the most fattening fruit!) And to top it off, I received a box of expiring Tokyo Bananas (because they must be eaten fresh!) so it means more fats/sugar. (Tokyo Bananas = Banana custard filled Banana shaped cake.)

And to top the sinful treats off, I have 2 BBQs coming up with 2 consecutive chalets with 2 different groups of company(: Oh me, oh my.


And to end my mindless entry today:
PLEASE VOTE FOR WEILING! (click)
And if you're interested in going for the InterJC thing, please tell me!

Softly, we tremble tonight.

Oh am gee,

it has been raining and raining and raining the entire day since yesterday and it's getting on my nerves. Where did all the water come from man. Yesterday, the route home was flooded my Birks was squishing water by the time I got home. Arrrgghh.

But it's all right, I am hiding under my covers and spending my afternoon watching heroes today. Shiok!

Ohyes, I need drawing block/A3 construction paper!

UGH.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MOM! (:

All right, since my IE was cocked up last night.

Here's the pictures: (YAY! I brought my camera, so now my blogposts aren't boring. LOL)

I wore my MONDAY tee shirt and wanted to make sure it could be seen in my photos but no, all of them cannot full see the MONDAY word. This is the best.

Anyhoo, we met for BTT ETrial. And we manged to finish all 6 papers within the time frame allocated for 2. Now, what do we do the next trial? Out of the 6, I freaking failed one. (82%?) But I got 100% for another. Cool shit.

It rained so we cabbed down to Kovan and trained down to Hf and lunched at FoodRepublic and the laksa is omg, yummy! Though it's really fattening cos I think it's yummy cos of the excess coconut milk.

The night before, J was so excited about watching a movie so he already checked the slots for The Holiday but when we were there, I saw the "Nightmare Before Christmas (Disney Digital)" and suggested if we could watch it instead. And J said yes, thinking it was a horror show. :\

We paid 8$ for a 80min 3d movie. But I thought it was cool shit. Abit short la. But I like Nightmare Before Christmas anyway(: (You guys should know! Hah) And yeah, we got to keep the 3d spectacles and they kinda look like shades. But it does not have any UV protection!
We left for B&J and had a MERLIONSTER- 6 scoops of icecream (AMERICAN PIE! It's new, but disappointing; Choc chip cookie dough, Phish Food, VeryBerry, New York Super Fudge, Peanut Butter), one banana, one brownie and two toppings (Hot Fudge and Nuts). Shiok to the max!
Meet the all time Ah Beng from *** Secondary school and (yuck) jc. AHAHA. He'd say, blame it on his Sec Sch. Okay he's soo gonna poison my dinner next time IF he sees this. IF!

Left for Orchard to meet Yanns (who ran in the rain for me!) and shopped (for ourselves and the birthday boy) after meeting Qh & J. This is while waiting for the other two. We didn't take a group shot after that though.

I'm losing my faith in this. Friendship, if you can even call it that.

Ps: I just ate bread that is 3days past expiry date. :\

Pps: I WANT JURIAN PUFFS FROM GOODWOOD PARK HOTEL!

Naar Kuneh Kutu Veh!

3D NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS IS THE DEAL.
MERLIONSTER FROM BEN & JERRY'S IS THE SECOND DEAL.

screwedupinternetdoesntallowmetosendphotosorpostimagesdamnit.

Ps: Dear H, I hope you know that I'm in a really sian diao mood and I totally didn't want to be on the phone but for you, I stayed on for 35mins just to make sure you'll be less confused.

Ben&Jerry's.

You Are Cherry Garcia Ice Cream

You're the coolest cat around, but too laid back to let it get to your head

What Flavor Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream Are You?

How does entering just your name, let the system know which Ben & Jerry's ice cream you are, man?

You Are Chubby Hubby Ice Cream

So there's more of you to love... a whole lot more!

What Flavor Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream Are You?

Okay, The first is with Phil, and the second with the full one.

**

Anyway, you know, everytime you post an entry,
there'll be this little box that says:

"What's cooler than a box of crayons?
Customising your blog with Layouts."

I think that's absolutely hilarious. Like, HUH? Hahahaha.

4 days a week.

"when I was young, I dreamt of becoming a zoo keeper.

Now my wish has finally come true."

I'm quoting Ms Lee during last Friday's gp lesson, cos she was throwing food (sweets) into a whole big group of hungry animals (us). So random, but it just came into my mind.

I swear I NEED to get down to some serious studying, but I just can't. The unconducive environment, hectic schedule, "holiday=play" mindset, first three months fun, everything! It's just not helping. PLUS, I still can't find my notes, and I NEED to meet Sunshine soon to get my Org chem, and get my A (maybe not for BT1) as promised to Angel.

Anyway, on Sunday. I went for MAKE-UP PHYSICS tuition please. Some drama happened though. It was sooo funny, the three of us were just laughing super silly-ly to our phones and ourselves. GOSH.

And I did my Capacitance tutorial at night. (:

Shopped for gifts on Monday with THE SILLIES where Sweets and I had a shock of our lives cos we thought we knew the same friend. And Sweets and I just spent time talking, catching up by the platform at Dhoby station.

Induction was so damn tiring, by the end of the day, my legs hurt really badly. (Also cos I was running around with sneakers).

I took OG18! Coincidentally, since I was from OG18 last year too! How cool right? They're definitely one lovely, rah rah, and selfless bunch, and I'm really glad to have known them(: (Though I still can't remember the names of most guys) And the cool thing is, we finished the first 2 rounds first! YAY! But that's not what matters, what matters is that they've bonded, they've learnt, their mindsets have changed. And I think they have. (: Lovely bunch(: And thanks for the OG 18 sign board that they gave. Haha.

A coincidental and unexpected BUMP into Gracie-O and a cup of Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough put a SM:)EY, pleasant, lovely, enjoyable full stop to the day.

And SO, today is once again, it's my-school-life-is-only-4-days-a-week for me again. Haha. I think this is very bad. I'm definitely skipping school a whole lot more than I used to. For the whole of Term1, like those who know me would always say, "Phil, you're so slack! Since when have you ever attended a FULL week of school?"

Oh well, I did! Two weeks ago. (:

If I could, then I would,

I'll go wherever you will go

Way up high or down low,

I'll go wherever you will go
