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.

Here Comes, June.

The Best Thing That Happened Today: The pretty long webcam conversation with The Bestfwen over my faulty msn/pixelated Skype screens.

Omg I miss You Seef!! =(((

DayOne of DeeVeeCee started today, while I survived on (still) very little sleep carried over from the weekend. It was a pleasant surprise to see Jodi there though, but there were far too little familiar faces this camp.

My only consolation(s): There's Maya, Yana, Yanns for company, and Snow City to look forward to. B8 is made up of Mr. Shy (shai la), Harry Potter and Jiejie Phil. Haha.

---

Moments to take away from the weekend:

Wasting time at a wet and muddy Turf City refereeing, Idling around Tpy Hub making a crucial decision, thunderstorm and idling around Potong Pasir, random donuts craving and Hougang Mall, Mango Pomelo Dessert, Ikea = 9 Meatballs + 2 Chicken wings, Missed S who was picked up in a cab before I could leave my house, Debating over the phone with Griz over our temptations (haha!).

Rushing out of my house, a beeping speed limit reminder, one very eager passenger, one very tolerant driver, Changi V, White tents, "Adidas light", excited crowds, a familiar face, sweaty hugs, long queues, green light sticks, one last goodbye, supper at Jalan Kayu, Milo Dinosaur, 7am call, 9am morning call, Mc breakfast, two sleep deprived souls, church.

First Commandment, a Love so strong, a Love that covers our sins, Griz's home, Griz's car: two wrong turns and mounting kerbs, Narnia @ Vivo.

Potong pasir Duck Rice, 147, HL 500ml milk pack, P.S. I Love You.

630am cab ride.

PS: MOO KEN COW, YOU ARE MY HERO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANKS ALOT!!

A (Beautiful) Stain In My Memory.

All right, I'm super determined to post a proper blog entry,
though it's getting pretty late, I'm rather tired from the week-long lack of rest,
and I still have to wake up at 7 tmr morning.
But like I said, I'm super determined!

So, let me take you back to.......................

Monday, 21st May.

Went down to support the boys at their 3rd/4th placing after a nostalgic lunch with Y at Adam's, and happy ice cream from Island Creamery.

The match was intense, Y and I were jumping up and down, here and there.

Our butts just kept inching closer and closer toward the side line as each minute passed,

it was nervewrecking, really.

Especially when the scores were really close.

As you know, we ended full time at 10-10, and we won over some really crappy reason, but we praise God for that. We know the Warriors are fuming mad, and definitely very displeased but we're happy and thankful for God's grace(:

We thought they'd go into penalty kicks and we were all going, "Oh no, sure die." and my dearest Ago was saying his old heart couldn't take it. Hilarious shiate, but yeah, we won.

&&&, I had Patrick Star for company, dinner at HK Cafe in Marina,

cos I had to go Suntec to get my online goodie =D Yay.

Then on Tuesday, 22nd May,

Dental, I have HAD pink braces! (They've faded to a very nice orangey colour)

Visited Lesbo, then met Hugs* at Vivo where we spent the whole day there,

like from 1030 - 430.

Don't know what we did also, just kept walking round and round and round.

And we got identical tofu man handphone key straps, coincidentally (:

Which are now hung on our phones!



This girl made me AWESOME(: lemon bars,

which she thought looked gross, tasted gross but were really yummy(:

And I looove lemon bars!

Well yeah, I had to rush to J8 after that,

carrying 200 tea light candles,

I was seriously dying, they were so heavy my arms felt like they were gonna break.
Got her cake, then rushed home, I was carrying so many things,

I probably looked like some kiasu Aunty stocking up for some ration. Hurhur.

Out Of Rhythm With Time

Okay, so much for rejoicing over the end of work,
I'm back in this week. But this time really the last week of work cos next week (23rd may!) is the fair already! I don't get to go to Thailand! =(

So anyway, back to Friday.
This is what happened during (my last) driving lesson:

A private student, on test, was doing vertical parking.
He wasn't positioned correctly, so you can tell he's gonna hit something,
and my (sadistic) instructor, starting chanting "knock the pole, knock the pole"
and instigated me into joining him! (of course I didn't)
The poor boy hit the pole though. (In fact, he hit it twice, and my instructor couldn't stop chanting)

And yeah I hit mine at Parallel thereafter.

&
After an hour + of buttaching journey,
reached Vivo and we walked the entire place deciding for a "different" place to eat.
BUT we settled at Asian Kitchen which is not any special at all.
Quote Zi, "We're always either eating Chinese or ..." (I can't remember what's after or...)
And we spent the rest of the night by the sea! Yay!
And we intend to go "overseas" slowly, but surely.
First, Sentosa (chalet!)
Then Pulau Ubin,
see, we're getting there, getting there!
Eventually, we'd go somewhere out of SEA!

-

Had Materials' Hi tea with Amelia & Zi and we met the weirdest ass professor. He asked us how we make our Uni choices, and evaluated what we said, and said our answers were WRONG.
We said, Interest, and Job prospectives.
Then he sent us to ask around (which we of course didn't)
and he came back to us later.
Everybody say, OHMYGAWD.




You know, I don't really have a habit of carrying my camera around with me.
And my phone can't seem to connect to my lap
and yes, my lappie is old. I had it since Sec School so it doesn't have bluetooth.
So I'm effectively new photo-less though there are many!
But then again. somtimes I wish we took more.

This is the Best I can go.

I got myself IE7.
And damn, it's screwing every shit up.
I screwed my blog template.
I screwed my night too. (No, not because of the blog template)

Anyhow, today I cooked myself two sunny side up eggs.
And for dinner, I had toast with Kaya, and Peanut Butter.
So ironic how I'm (crazily) addicted to Toasts now.
When I don't even like bread and eggs to start with.

~

(I can't rmb what I did last Friday, or Saturday, so let's start with Sunday)


# Accompanied Yanns for Manicure, together with Sweets.
# Down to Cheryl's for House Farewell, which we were so very terribly late for.

And Glenn (not in picture) says: "On behalf of the 6th House Council, I'd like to..."
Us: "Seventh!!!"
Glenn: "Huh? Oh okay.. On behalf of the 6th House Council, ..."
Us: "Seventh!!!!"

That was really funny.
We left for Prata then home.

Tuesday was Prom already! (:
I am not gonna post any photos because I don't really like how I looked. It was DRASTIC man.

(it rained ): But we had Herngs to the rescue!)

Criticise the lashes all you want but it was really, not a self choice okay. Haha.
And everyone couldn't recognise me. ): Not even damn good friends. The only person who could recognise me was TAY YEW WEI! (and I love his Bart Simpson tie)

I think eventually, it reached a point where I was kinda tired of saying, "It's Phil." so I stopped going round to take photos. No wonder I only have so little photos. ):

We crashed back into the lovely Gallery Hotel after only like, 2 hours in Attica? BOO!!

And this hotel, has some sorta see through glass separators between the toilet (or should I say, Bath tub!) and the bed.
Sexy stuff, cos it's meant to be a couple room anyway.

I barely slept, cos I couldn't.
I made L go down alone, across the road to SPC to get breakfast for us. And stupid him, wore the hotel slippers (or whatever they're called)


We decided to go down to the pool after breakfast.
It was so shallow, 0.4m only! (The shallow part)

Then we laid down on the chairs, and admired the scenary- construction site please.
But L was observing how often the crane rotates and all.
Then we were talking and talking.....
.
.
.
Til I fell asleep on him. (Sorry L.)

And the freaky thing-
When I woke up,
IT WASN'T L NEXT TO ME ANYMORE!
It was someone else. Gosh. Shock of my life.

Z came down later, then L came back with Yanns& Annabella. And we sat around til 10+ and headed back up to wake everyone up.

We left for PS for breakfast/lunch/brunch,
But Yanns, A and I settled for toastbox, while the rest went up.

And I left for home. Which, I couldn't sleep!

***

THURSDAY, totally felt like Wednesday. After half a day of agency registering and short interview ing and typing test ing, we decided that it would be a day of "I-haven't-done-this-before!" so we went to Vivo cos Y hasn't been there. And we ate at Food Republic cos L hasn't eaten there. (And I bumped into Lesbo!) And we watched HAPPYFEET cos neither of us have watched it, nor caught a movie in Vivo.


Then after that I met ZOE and PING for dinner at Chompchomp(:

And we slacked around Coffeebean for a while.



I got home, and Hr wanted to come over. That drunken bastard. We made last minute plans to go over to K's instead and I had to lug him all the way there.

And he's so hard to get out of bed too. Rah.
I wasn't trying to act superstarxz. I just had dark eye rings to hide. ):

And we woke up early at 5! No, actually K & I didn't even sleep. Rushed to the airport but in the end, K's dad volunteered to send us there.

Denise is leaving for Canada, for further studies. Though I wasn't really close to her, she was always a joy to have man. She's really sweet la!

We had BK breakfast cos stupid WangJiao was inside the departure halls. And Jm, Cali and I accompanied Becca for Ban Mian. And I was falling asleep then already. Was trying very very hard to keep awake.

I got home and crashed, oblivious to everything man.

**

Ding dearest willingly accompanied me everywhere on Saturday, where we walked along the same stretch of roads along Raffles Place at least twice. And both job interviews were FOS and crappy and a waste of my (and Ding's) time.

By the time we got down to town, it was almost 6 already. We went Food Republic for dinner (again!) cos I kinda wanted Toast (again!) but I didn't in the end. I got Yuanyang (?) drink, which totally sucked and I was unhappy with it! >=(

We walked to *Scape, thinking we were early but the performance already started. And we saw Tanny(:

Strikeforce and their drums. Jon leong. Hady was there too. I have photos of him too. But I can't be bothered to put them up.
No. This is not my boyfriend. Lol.

**

Is this what They call Indifference?

Ps: I created my own MSN smiley! Yay!
Pps: If you happen to know how to save my blog template, please tell me.

peel banana, peel peel banana.

I spent my day whining and ranting and screaming and roaring to four people, all of which, very nicely, tried to calm me down and was ultimately patient and sweet.

#1: LLL.
#2: My Mrs Darcy Silly Duck ILOVEYOUSOMUCH Yanns
#3: ahtannnnnnn!
#4: Mommy dearest. (But she was abit mean ah)

Luling's the best! She was super calm throughout the day though I was so flustered and frustrated.
Especially when you see a girl buying the ONLY pair of shoes that you've been wanting RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU.

LIKE OMFGGOANDDIEOMGIWANTTOSCREAMANDCRY

Okay, that was so bimbotic, but anyway. YEAH
On Monday, I was super suay, my 3 pairs of unfated shoes and bags.
But somehow today when I went back to the same SHOPS, they had the shoes.
But damnit the girl bought the OHSOPERFECT BLOODYNICE brown shoes before my VERY EYES, I swear I wanted to cry.

So I settled for the other pair.
And the brown bag I wanted,
it got stolen.
??????
Stolen?
WTH.

OKAY I SHOULD QUIT RANTING/BEING SO BIMBOTIC.

Anyway, My aunt from Penang's out. =D
So I met them (Her+My Sis) at Vivo after a day with LLL.
And we shopped more (but I didn't get anything) while waiting for my parents.
AND WE SPENT 55$ at Candy Empire, cos my Aunt is mad.
She spent 30.60$ on Pick And Mix.

Okay, nvm. Time to chant:
Peel Banana, Peel Peel, Banana
Peel Banana, Peel Peel, Banana
Peel Banana, Peel Peel, Banana
Peel Banana, Peel Peel, Banana

Oh I mean.
Peel Banana Face & Shoulders, Peel Peel, Banana Face & Shoulders

Ps: I bumped into ZOE and Candice Kiddo today! Yay so exciting =D
