3glogy.
for the first time after buying my phone for 1year and 21 days,
I made a video call.
3g rocks! woohoo!
Fun with Weiyarnie(:
So, I picked up a skill or two from the professional friendster stalker, and found something beautiful.
I clicked that very convenient button,
after much hesitation, for fear of the wrong impression.
But I did it anyhow.
And then minutes later,
"You have received a new message from Friendster."
Okay, go figure the rest of the story yourself.

If you comment on this post,
I guess unlike Livejournal JIEN* posted hers on, you gotta tag, then I'll include it in the post?
And this is so lame, I'm in my room, my sis is in the living room, and we're talking on MSN. The convenience of technology, tsk. And the laziness of human. Hahh.
Sunshine, meet me soon for your rapture tickets! (:

Bumping into grand dots coincidentally at Garden Macs.

When tuition stresses you til you go mad, and when studying bores you.

My lovely pitch twin, and my girl/partner to end my touch career.
Dear Whoever,
00:39
let's waste time ;
simply because blogger has been letting me down.
Dear Whoever,
22:23
Well, we may be a 9 men team tomorrow, but we're 10 in hearts and souls.
I did my visualisations using Paint just now, but Blogger just doesn't allow me to upload images (again) So I guess it's good, cos I won't bore you with Touch Terms and the silly yet complicating moves we do.
Well, and I guess this is it.
To think, just one and a half weeks ago, we were still contemplating on continuing our touch career.
But like Joy said, let's end with an exclamation mark, and with no regrets, such that when we start studying, we wouldn't have "would"s, "should"s and "could"s haunting us.
Let's just make full use of whatever trainings we've been through and not let them go to waste.
After this, I promise oh-so-faithfully, I will go back to my long forgotten and neglected books/ notes.
Goodnight moon~
(Ps: Today, I learnt that I am independent, I want my friendships to be transparent, I aspire for a sweet fulfilling career, I am contented with my happy life, I don't have a high sex drive. Yeah, contradicts a little to what I learnt yesterday. Heh)
Dear Whoever,
23:33
Two days and I've not slept a wink
with these thoughts that I've been thinking.
This is the mark I aim to miss. (again)
You toss and turn, I lie awake,
into the sand were sinking.
Holding us back from breathing free (I'm done)
More than words you keep to yourself.
Like a curse that fares thee well.
One man came, one truth to tell.
All this blame, hammers your way to hell.

And I learnt how to spell disappointment today. Nope, not d-i-s-a-p-p-o-i-n-t-m-e-n-t.
But with 6 alphabets.
Br&on starts school today. ):
Childdddhooooddiiieeeeeee! All the best for your (dreadful) second year in La Selle(:
Thanks for the phonecall :D
To the person who posted that entry,
I remember. (:

Dearest Rioters,
RONIN will be performing an exclusive 2 hour set @ The Esplanade this Friday, 28th JULY, at the outdoor stage, from 7.30 to 9.30PM!. One hour will be dedicated to a quiet acoustic set of love songs, the other to a balls to the walls rock n roll showcase! Best of all? This show is completely FREE !! So bring your friends!! We'll see you there!
RONIN will be the official endorsers for the upcoming MOTOROLA's ROKR phone, soon to be released in August. So if you walk past a bus stop, and you see our butt ugly faces plastered over the adverts, give it a kiss or a slap and then head out to buy the new Motorola phone. It ROCKS!
Dear Whoever,
23:21
My eyes still feel weary despite the minimal rest I had last night.
They're tired and they hurt and I'm struggling to keep them open.
But everytime I lay down or shut my eye, there is something yet to be solved that haunts me inside.
I know I shouldn't be running away, but that's the easiest way out I can find this time.
I'm taking things one at a time, and right now, my priority and most important thing to me is, definitely, Wednesday's SRU for we no longer have much time left to practise, train and build up our inflexible minds.
Addiction, is when you close your eyes and still see it around you.
JingBao, Celest, Star, is that happening to you too? I keep seeing Bejeweled jewels everytime I close my eyes. Haha.
And LoyFatt is stepping down tomorrow.
I'm sure my successor's gonna do great. (:
Oh @#$%&*$%@#
I've yet to write my SGC. Damn.
My birthday present from Bao Clique from New Urban Male.
Damn right they are.
Dear Whoever,
14:13
This morning saw me reaching just on time for training but we still reported to the field late anyway.
This afternoon saw me playing touch with the combined j1s and j2s team against Blacks & NY Poly and me screaming at Celine and Steph and I feel AWFUL about it.
Early afternoon saw me receiving a message from the one I thought didn't care.
And chwee kueh and bubble tea with Yanns and Annabella.
And a train ride down from Toa Payoh with Rachel and Bev from NY Poly.
Three pm saw me going up the escalator to the bus stop outside Novena where I met Hubert who told me A.G.O just went down.
The whole afternoon saw me talking to an emotional stressed nervous scared (good, close) friend. With Raspberry Tea for company and boredom found in United Square.
It saw us avoiding Toys R Us cos it serves more as a reminder to AGO, than a distraction, and saw us entering the "Learning Loft" and orange chairs outside the Italian Language Centre.
The afternoon taught me you care.
The evening saw your departure to what you feared most.
The evening saw me meeting my DINGGY dear with Laksa for dinner.
730pm saw us in Toys R Us.
8pm saw us walking to the bus stop after a phone call that wanted me to go down to Dhoby but I was too tired.
Night saw me through half my Physics Nuclear Tutorial.
Midnight saw me through two teary phone calls.
I am going to sleep.

Dear Yarns, what you said yesterday has made an impact and it got me thinking. Then something happened...
And I don't like the sound of it.
I have never been able to resolve awkwardness. Put me in an awkward situation and I'd just run away. Avoid.
I can never seem to find the right words to say.
I wish I had a better way around with words.
'Cos what I meant to say never comes out how it should have, and it just makes things worse.
But then again, saying "I don't know" to "Don't you have anything to say?" doesn't seem to change matters at all.
Yeah, we're drifting.
*
"So many people around you seem to make you so much happier than I do"
It's ringing in my head.
Dear Whoever,
12:30


#FRIDAY:
***
To MAngo geLato and maCritchie lOng Late Midnight walks,
You don't seem to care anymore. ): I know I have no reason to expect anything, that's why I will only say what I've been thinking here. If you cared, you'd see this.
Dear Whoever,
23:14
Every night, I sleep with a few orange glowing stars by my bed, two pretty Helium balloons
(one of (reflective) silver and another of metallic blue with huge happy words of PHILIA and HAPPY BIRTHDAY spread across them respectively), a huge red heart balloon accompanied by 2 small white and pink heart shaped ones and an round orange one (personally blown up by Hash and Yarns), a hand made clay art work on top of my shelf, just in front of the big red star, a bouquet of hand folded flowers with PHIL above it on my shelf- they just make my dream so sweet.
Every meal I have, is accompanied by the 8 stalks of sunflowers+ 1 pretty big pink lily+ 1 pretty yellow daisy + 3 lovely peach roses, makes every meal a more than tasty one. Withering /withered, they may be, each stalk still holds a significance. (:
Just random.
Dear Whoever,
17:07
Dear Whoever,
13:03
I wish I took more photos on my birthday.
Happy birthday, Yew Wei! (:
See you later. (:
And to Wong JJ my slayer,
I'm so damn proud of you.
All the best for 1500 finals and Relay.
And Zoe grandots dearest,
Ahma loves you.
Go fight for top 4!
Proud of you too, dear.
And Nuer dearest,
Stagnant PB doesn't matter, okay?
Just do better than you did for heats. (:
You go, girl. 800!
Dear Whoever,

Dear Whoever,
12:24


Cancelling tuition 2 hours away from it and heading for an alternative plan of BEN & JERRY's with my beloved zideedoodadey is the best thing that can happen today. (:
(Okay, maybe falling asleep throughout tutorials and not getting caught at all is quite thrilling too)
Then we went for a second round of food spree down at Plaza Sing by the mini food fair. Though I must really say, that the cheese sausage was so plastic and the cheese oozed out from random spots of your sausage and not where you bite.
And that sharks fin soup tasted more like mushroom soup and we were so disappointed with it.
But her company just makes any bad day, a wonderful day; any disappointing food so satisfying.
I love you. (:
Dear Whoever,
19:31
So much to say, but so little time.
Guess before I gotta start re-setting my priorities and catching up on the more important stuff now.
And nope, it isn't on my work. But sleep.
The past three days (Monday til Wednesday) has been an like an emotional roller coaster. From extreme displeasure, agony and pain, to extreme awkwardness and uncomfortable-ness, to extreme sugar overload and pleasure (bumping into Yarns along the walkways of Taka) on Monday, to a surprises-filled, extreme joy/happiness/blessed 18th year old Tuesday, to me falling sick, to extreme indecision/dilemma, to I-can't-live-without-the-9-of-you, team teamtalk, to joy and comfort in one another, to HAPPYBIRTHDAY TO YOU in the midst of a conversation, to sm:)es and sinful chocolate stuff.
Thanks once again, for the wishes that were still coming today. Haha
Premature or Late, I still appreciate and love it. (:
On a heavier/sadder/more serious note,
I think we should really take some time off each day, and give thanks for the people around you.
Life is fragile, unexpecting. You never know what's in store for you, good or bad.
Just today, there was this confusion that worried us all, for her and her family.
But at the end of the day, we saw the light at the end of the tunnel.
It is dim, but who ever said a dim light can't become brighter?
All we need to do is, keep the faith, that this light won't go out on you.
This light, instead, will get brighter and brighter, with every step you take nearing the exit.
We pray, we hope, we keep the faith, we commit everything into God's Hands.
Though her family may not believe in Him.
We should really, never take those around you, and our life for granted.
It's a once in a lifetime thing, really.
Be strong. Though I know you won't see this.

Oh well, since I'm waiting for 3am, I might as well take this time to blog. (I'm rotting anyway)
So on Thurs, I missed Jien's party because of some unfortunate miscomm AGAIN. And yeah, I wasn't really feeling too well either. Sorry Tiffoos! ):
And totally wasted my afternoon waiting from 1315 to 6+.
Whoa, plus I've yet to feel that discouraged in quite some time.
Then on Friday, I woke up at like 7am to shower, then fell back asleep on my couch til around 1040, and we nearly missed McDonalds' breakfast!!
Only needed to be in school before 315 anyway.
College day draaagggeeeeddd, so I left early.
And left for Pariss at Marina Square. (:
And this cute crab. I think it's called a Spanner Crab, I can't remember. But it's really cute, don't you think? (: Not to forget, yummy too. =D
I had fondue for dessert, so my chocolate kinda dried up and I was bored la. (:
Oh yeah, and then they sang me a Birthday song (Super early yeah) with these 8 slices of cake as my "birthday cake". I ate the oreo cheesecake which was, MMMM, yummy. :D
Us minus Tiff-late-any.
I LOVE GERMANY!
GO DEUTSCHLAND!
Dear Whoever,
02:12
Guess who's back.
And I (probably am) the last to know.
Somehow everyone seemed to know before, on that day or the day after at least.
And I only did today.
Oh well, whatever it is, Welcome back.

A day that started of totally wrong, like a day with the only Sun covered by grey clouds, the absence of NuEr's company to go to school with. A school filled with an air of emptiness, lonely wandering thought-filled assembly. Then I saw Yanns dearest, who gave such a bright sm:)e and warm hug. So filled with comfort, I hid behind a comfy spot and removed the mask I had on for the first hour of that day.
Finished up Shattered Glass at Gp, ate, received Math and Physics grades. Then there was class photo taking!
Initially, it was kinda weird, cos we were stressing out on what to do, but then our photos turned out really lovely. (: The photographer's a reeaaall pro and it's A-M-A-Z-I-N-G that the school is so willing to hire someone so professional. And to be honest, I never thought I'd see a Funky shot again.
We were the last class for the day, and since we already missed Math Lect, we decided to just take more photos! Was rather hilarious. But it was extremely hot under the 12 noon sun! ):
Rot around, waiting for time to pass til 215 where Touchers would end, and I had a pleasant surprise from up above me. (:
And AWWWHHH. Ah gong told me something which reaaallly touched me. (:
Then the team gathered, and set off for WHEELOCK's SAKAE SUSHI.
Oh, and Yanns passed me this CHEER UP thing she really sweetly made for me. =D
With dears like you around, of course I'd sm:)e dear. Super sweet please!
Guess who we met along the way?
KRYSTLETANKHEEEMUI (ilove!) who was gonna meet SHARONQUEKSUPING (ialsolove!) but was late so we went off first. But thanks to the queue, and also our big group (9 of us), we were stuck outside for quite some time and M.AZING and SUNSHINE managed to walk pass so I got to talk to them for a while. (: (:
So greedy us, we sat down around 330, ate til 630. Gosh, I swear I reached my maximum capacity cos I was soooooooooooo filled. But it was sure fun, with all the foodfoodfood and moremoremore food!
And we are all SALMON lovers(: I think it total, we ordered 30 (maybe more) sets of salmon sushi. Our chawanmushi took a disappointing 2+ hours to arrive after much reminders, and I think we had a few missing orders here and there but we totally forgot about it. And all the mayo on the Gyoza can bounce! It sounds cute, but looks really WRONG, and seems really weird. Hurhur.
And after feeling really full, we had 18 portions of watermelon and 18 mochi ice creams. Gosh. It was only til today, that I realised how WELL we girls can eat! =D
And after the meal, we popped by Apple to suan Krystle. =D
Joy's & Mine.
Everyone wants a pair of Tigers. (:
And for some funny reason, I was really looking forward to coming home today. (:
Though I have to bid the complete ownership of the 4 walls I face everyday goodbye, as the co owner who has absent herself for the past 6 months (since 3rd Jan) has returned for good, I am not complaining, cos I really miss the crazy (in a bad way) sister of mine. Yeah, we quarrel alot, not really like many sisters but I miss her. (: It's great to have her back!
Now, I'm not so lonely anymore. Fat sister hug when I got back! (:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SUGAR FAIRY DEAREST!!!! I LOVE AND MISS YOU! ):
HAPPY BIRTHDAY WANHUEI! OOHHH-GEEEE!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY PINKY! OHHH-GEEEE!
Dearest called today. Everything'd be okay, all right? <3
(I got my first birthday present today. From my mom? Wow. But thanks mommy dearest <3)
Dear Whoever,
21:15
Before I start my ranting, I must say, I suffer from:
Boo. ):
So anyway, I went to school today with (in Weiyarn's words) "COOOL HAIR!!!" ->for us both.
And new shoes. LOOOOOOOVEEE IT :D
Okay, so meet STAR, my long awaited Tigers. =D
Don't suppose everyone will like it cos Pius hates it. And Ahgong thinks it doesn't suit me. But it's more than a shoe to me anyway. It has L-O-V-E from my Sis all the way from Lyon, and she's coming back tmr! Hiphip Hooooray! :D
Had lunch together with Ahgong in school after his paper together.
Oh nooo. ):
I disappointed my Ah gong BIG TIME. And sorry Ah gong, it just TOTALLY slipped my mind. But like I said, "There's such a thing called, 'Next time'."
So next time okay, Ah gong? I will go there and say I am your grandaughter. AHAHA
Yup, at the end of the day, we scraped our plans to accompany a friend. But there was a VERY unfortunate miscomm, that led to people reaching Cine at different times, with very different ideas of what we wanted to do in mind, so in the end, no meeting, no movie. But it's okay, it's just unfortunate yeah. ):
I caught Final Fantasy VII which I've been dying to since before Blocks! Thanks brother! (As in my real brother)
***
After putting of the whole I-wanna-cut-my-hair for like, 2 months, I finally did it yesterday with none other than YARNS. (:
We spent a longer time than we thought we did there in the hairdresser's but we really liked our hair. (: Immediate photo taking of our new hair from different angles (as seen below) and then we went down to Chippy's (my favouriteee!) to get some sinful indulgence, and we printed these two shots for ourselves! :D
And then we set off for Liquid Kitchen, where we sat at the USUAL TABLE (it's now called the Phil-Yarn table) and she had a Tequila Sunrise (I drank on Friday!) and I settled for a Topsy-turvy after much deliberation. 


Reads: CP aka CrabbyPathy.
(photos courtesy of George, my camera. Oh, how I have neglected you, dear George.)
Hung out til rather late despite it being a SCHOOL NIGHT. Had a pleasant surprise that was totally not a surprise cos the conversation was totally going on in front of me which was really quite hilarious but anywayyyy, surprise surprise. Hurhur. And oh my, and I reached home past midnight. ):
*
It's really brilliant how two people can come together so not-so-often, yet be able to pick up from where we last left off. As Yarns says, it's of a higer friendship and I really give thanks for those whom belong to that category. It's like, we need not be in constant contact but when we meet, conversations can never end, you feel like you've known each other since forever, you have as much fun with each other or maybe even more, than you've had before.
Sometimes, people see things so superficially that once presence is lacked in a relationship, they immediately conclude you don't care, they conclude their lack of importance to you as a friend, they think you take them for granted, you don't appreciate them.
Has it ever struck you that friends, who though absent themselves from your life most of the time, but still remember you, and appear when you need someone most, and depsite all these, are close when you finally meet up, are actually those who are of higher levelled friendships and are more worth keeping?
But then again, I have to post the million dollar question.
How do you define who's "close" to you or not? Everyone has different definitions, expectations from a relationship.
And boy, I must say. EXPECTATIONS SUCKS.
I swear they do. Just take for example, your parents or maybe even YOU expect this much out of yourself, say academic wise. But you fail to meet them, it's so f/ing demoralising, disappointing, heartbreaking.
Why do we need expectations?
And sometimes as much as we try to convince ourselves not to expect too much out of this and that, sub consciously you fail to do so. And then it leads to disappointment.
Boo. But then again, I guess expectations are there for us to Force (?) ourselves to meet them and improve. I guess.
***
I AM ROOTING FOR GERM-MANY TONIGHT! As much as I DO NOT WANT TO ADMIT, Italy's gonna win laaaa. ):
Standing at the rooftops, everybody scream your hearrttsss out.
CRABBY, come online and let's exchange photos!
Dear Whoever,
20:48
Blocks are blocks indeed, oh what mental BLOCKS they can cause.
Well, I don't think how Blocks went is worth commenting here, so let's just skip it.
Was out on Thursday, dinner, pool, clarke quay, trouble, a new friend, hell alot of trouble, cabbed home, slept only about 3? Thursday was a retarded day.
But I learnt something new. Still remember what Wenyi said, "I just need to keep my cool, cos I know a few years down the road, I'm gonna forget how screwed I'm feeling now, so it'd just be a waste of my emotions."
I admire that girl. She's really strong.
As stated on Friday's entry, I woke up and did some "research" and yeah, the research was actually on origami, cos I was trying to fold Weiyarn something. Got stuck at alot of things, and got my Mom for help. So in the end, 3 people were frantically folding 18 butterflies for her because I was very late already.
Met Yanns and we got her 3 really pretty roses (read: ILOVEYOU) and got down.
Ate, then left for training.
Training was games. Wouldn't say we played well at all, did we?
Yup, I'm sure we know it best.
Went home, waited for zipoks to come over. Had dinner, then we left for Millenia.
Feiiers pangseh! But she was sick.
Rotted from 11 onwards................................................
while Zi was practising her harp. And poddie DIED. Like how sad, of all times.
While waiting for our performance, Shirin and I sneaked out to watch the penalty shootouts for the Germany Argentina match. I'm so proud of Germany! Never saw the goalie play so well before. (:
Our performance was okay I guess, except for the part when Zi and I started laughing and laughing cos we reached the Chinese part and TOTALLY thought of Cheryl saying chi(4) pang(3) as jian(1) bang(3). (wings as shoulders)
Omg, super hilarious!
MsGoh split our performance into two time slots, so while waiting for the second one, we went to watch Italy-Ukraine! Shirin and I shared a Tequila Sunrise, Cher & Zi a glass of (supersweet) Mango juice.
And the next performance. With drums and keyboard this time!
By the time all the singing, packing up and photo madness ended, it was already FIVE AM.
So the 5 pl-move-on-to-sa girls left looking for somewhere to eat. But you know, when you have Cheryl with you, that's really quite hard. In the end, we walked one round around Suntec (omg stupid right) then back to where we came from. In between that walk, we were running away from Cheryl who was busy on the phone with H20. It was sooo hilarious, involving us splitting into two paths and meeting again, Zi & I hiding behind the cars on a roadshow.
We were walking in the middle of the road like it was OURS. And this cock security guard was like calling us and tried to stop us, talk to us. But we just walked on and ignored. Hoho. It was funny!
Then when we finally got a cab down to PS, it was like 540 already. The cab driver was really lame. He has this container of sweets in his cabby, so he said Zi looked like she was gonna cry so he offered her a sweet, and (I can't remember who) was like, "mommy say cannot take sweets from strangers."
Oh, he also asked us, "You had the marathon right?"
Zi: "How you know!!!!!!!"
Uncle: "I can read your mind what!"
Zi: "But I wasn't even thinking of it!"
Uncle: "Yeah, but your mind has it so I can read it!"
Wah. And right now as I'm blogging, I'm missing the Marathon's closing. Feiiers couldn't make it, so never mind. (:
Then we got to Mc Donald's, breakfast (read Saturday's post)
Reached home about 7+ after waiting for Zi's bus with her, and slept at about 8am?
Woke up about 1pm, ate lunch, changed up and went down to Cityhall (again) to wait for the rest. They were late! So we were late!
And you know walking from City Hall to Suntec's kinda far right....
we were walking like superduper fast? And the worse thing is, we're not just going to Suntec. We're going to the Cinema which is at the other end!!!
Missed abit of Superman, I missed more while going out to pass the guys their tickets.
It was more of a Romance SuperHero show. Not much action.
Sweets and I agreed we like Spiderman a whole lot more. (:
Yep, then I had to rush down to Queenstown to get my TIGERS =D
Then stupid NIGEL LIN! As usual, you NEVEREVEREVER pick up your call. Haha.
He left Queenstown for CityHall while I left City Hall for Queenstown and I think we kinda left both places at the same time. Gosh.
Slept at 3+ after the match. PORTUGAL!!!!
Sunday's tournament was really retarded. We had to get down to Petir by 8. And I woke up at like, 6? That's even earlier than going to school.
We only played 4. Won some, lost some, drew some.
Annabella and Joy collided.
We quarrelled hell alot.
5 on 5, is just weird.
We had to decide on whether to withdrew from SRU.
When we didn't proceed, we were secretly happy. Well, not really secretly, Joy and I were high five ing. We just didn't want to do it anymore.
Left for home after changing up at BPP(t) --> SINWEN!
Nah, I mean Bukit Panjang Plaza. Called Hr for directions but I think we kinda went the wrong way. Poor sweets was like dying from cramps. )):
And yea, I took a short nap cos I was reeally exhausted from just 6 hrs of sleep in 2 days altogether. Sleep kills. That's all I have to say.
What a lousy friend I really am. ): Sigh.
Thanks though, Ding.
And then in the middle of my sleep at night, I got messages/phonecalls for a midnight visit.
wouldn't it be nice if we could wake up in the morning when the day is new and after having spent the day together, hold each other close the whole night through?
Will I get to cut my hair today? >=(
LK with Yarns later.
I really hate your repeated empty promises, really.
Dear Whoever,

Reasons to love yesterday:
Dear Whoever,
23:07
FINALLY la. But getting my tigers = can't stay for dinner with them. That means I'm kinda just meeting them for the movie. Boo ):
ANYWAY, I had a super unhappy/unsatisfying McDonald's breakfast earlier at about 540am at Plaza Sing's Mc. ): Booo. We were served extremely FLAT hot cakes that were so hot they were burnt. And the sausage, was overcooked on one side and kinda uncooked on the other. GRRR.
Last night was F-U-N! Proper update soooon!
Dear Whoever,
