eldest sis is cooking seafood birthday dinner for me now :) i can smell the aroma of the prawns from the kitchen, ha i'm so pampered. yesterday i went out with mister choy and we jalan-ed around town and got stila blusher in a cute packaging: ) and then i met sammie and ying and sharon for dinner. will elaborate later.

i mean, ok i feel sort of guilty when i edit posts, it's like, faking your truest personality or something, but it's not like what you see is what you get in the virtual world, so whatever. speaking about birthdays now, birthdays are nice to look foward to, birthdays are sweet, birthdays are also bashful events and i feel embarassed to talk about mine, but here goes. i met mingyao and we had japanese seafood unintentionally at sushi teh in paragon the one with the pretty decor and dotty shiny bead curtains.when i came home my whole family of six minus me burst into a chorus of the above mentioned song and clapped. haha so cute. and, shu sent me an email for an invite to joanne's wedding at end july. gasp, another peer getting married. it's so prettily delightful. and we had lemon gelato after sushi teh but when i came home i was a bit, rather a little more than a bit temperemental cos i had to miss a bit of the oc on tv so i was mean to my family. because there's no one else to see, and families are suppose to give love unconditionally i take advantage of them. forgive all my spite, envy, all my malice and wicked ways oh Lord and make me truly giving of unconditional love, effort, and more love.

goodnight.

i would say, that i am immensly in love. 'choke' full of love. it doesn't matter that people think it's cheesy or too saccharine, but it's so delightful to be high on something so immeasurable. a perpetual grin was on my face the whole day after lunch. bliss with a capital B for me!

today MY picked me up from work during lunch and we went to lavendar to eat the famous wanton mee with the oily but so tasty soupish gravy.

ee jie is back from notts. it's nice to hear and see her around the house after a year of absence. no doubt there is typically a lot of people in the house but one does make a big difference, no matter! she got me some pretty earrings, silver dangly ones with yellow pearly bits. and we all squashed into the car and made a lot of noise, alot of chatter alot of love as we listened to sandy lam in the car. everyone talking at once, listening to everyone at once, a skill that has been well cultivated in this household, inevitably. haha.

me i got me a B plus for previous project.[solumn bow, jumps in the air with an indian cry of woohoowooweewoo!]

i want to thank God for his grace and mercy, thank MY CHOY for his love, patience, help running to get materials, my parents for their endless support, moses for the extra crit sessions, chin ee for support from notts via email and msnning, my siblings for letting me kidnap the computer to the hostel for a semester (bwahahahaha :P), my inspiring tutor, my inspiring new friends, my encouraging old friends who called me up to check up on me, my intern place and the fellas there for revived passions, and also, and again, my mama for giving me the bottles of cherry almond shampoo and hair reconstructor that makes my hair feel so soft and smell so delectable and gives me a high every mornin so i feel the desire to sketch and draw...

for all the hugs, smiles, for all the kisses and words,thank you from the bottomest of my beart. *waves*

the oc. woohoo. the music. brilliance. seth, thumbs up. anna, thumbs up. ryan, borrrrring. i saw potential in adam brody when he first appeared in gilmore girls as lane's boyfriend. thursday nights are something to look forward to. reading the spoilers on the webpage does not spoil it for me. anna wore this really nice top today at the carnival. long sleeve knitted black fitting top with a pink tube like shade at the bottom half of the shirt. marissa, too predictable.

update on anna karenin. things are sour between karenin and anna. bliss though, anna and levin are getting married. awww so sweet. dotoevsky is like philosophy class. tolstoy is like sociology.can't wait for the continuing episodes of gilmore girls.

met my mama today and i took her to esmirada at orchard hotel. i must say i was disappointed. i guess, for somethings, only the first time remains magical. the soup was good and slurppy, the galic bread garlicky and endless but the main dish with the complicated name which i didnt' bother to remember was normal, some meat cheese dish which was not special, just alright. very romantic atmosphere, and i was stuffed. anna karenin is getting on depressingly fine. she's now deep into her affair and her husband is intent on a divorce. and vronsky is a stupid count. meanwhile, on a happier note, sparks are beggining to be renewed with levin and kitty. tolstoy is lighter reading than dotoevsky.

chin ee is coming back on monday! and she's bringing my edward hopper 'nighthawks' poster with her. i'm shyly excited to see her again. chic babe is here to stay!

count basie jazz orchestra. actually i've never heard of them before, but they were fantastic, they really know how to hold an entertaining concert.many thanks to zhiwei for providing the tickets. whenever i watch a play or a performance at the esplanade, i get reminded of the bad flak that the esplanade got for it's exterior appearance, the grumbling rambles and i'm thankful for such a beautiful place cos honestly, it's a great place to hang out and enjoy the arts if one doesn't start comparing with international icons and values. it's a lot better than when we just had the victoria theatre as the grandest place to watch a performance. going down the escalator i met sabbie lim and her mom. she's flying to japan tomrrow for a holiday before convo. she looked stunning, always does, chic babe that one. and later we met chernwei carrying a box of london macaroons on his way to meet some friends.

the thing about big band swing jazz is that it makes u wanna get your butts off the chair and dance along with whatever inate movements that your body can conjure up but you just have to be satisfied with sitting still and indulging in some finger or feet tapping and head bobbing to the beat. ha. i need some dance lessons!

am now into leo tolstoy's 'anna kerenina'. decided to not start on 'war and peace' first cos i'm more into the indulging in a woman's vices and the mrt rides to and from work with anna and levin and kitty to entertain me has been suitably satisfying. a good book draws u so much into its depths that when you arrive at work after reading in the train you feel like you've just come from russia where tolstoy is from.

today for lunch five of us headed to bras brasah to eat cos bernard had to get materials for the model he is making, which i must say, is a pretty neat model. met julianna there with benson buying materials for their firm's project. hk passed me a john lautner book to scan in the drawing of a glass bar counter i had to cad and i went on a swooning spree at his works. frankly, few have left me amazed as lautner and his houses. it's as soulful as it is grand. courtney cox stays in one of his houses. courtney can i be your friend, and will you let invite me over to stay for a while? gosh. with one million per episode of friends, i'd go get me a lautner designed house in LA asap. it's brilliant and i'm tempted to get the book at basheer, always inspiring that lautner guy.

chin ee is now in spain, visiting gaudi's stuff and mango and zara heaven. cool. chic woman bring back chic pictures and chic stuff.

dim sum dollies with their trollies call me each morning on the radio to head to tangs. ooooh. tangs shoes. the next best poor man's alternative to jimmy choos.

me and some friends are having a dessert cum movie party. we're going to watch 'love me if you dare' that fantastic extreme french movie. good CMY that you can watch since you didnt' watch with me previously. it's a great show. extreme as it may seem, there's really no boundary for love. it's the most magnetic force in the universe, along side hunger, love, is emotional hunger. anyway what to bring for dessert? got two weeks to plan that. we've got 'moulin rouge' and the three extended versions of 'lord of the rings' for back up. hmm vodka jello? which reminds me, meiji yogurt with nata de coco is super delicious, a flavour that is unlike any of the typical fruit flavours you see on the shelves of the cold storage section. maybe i'll buy some gelato for the dessert party. maybe not. i'm going to source for something more exotic! oooh, desserts and foreign films and dear friends, a good combination for a saturday night.

the people at work are great. i think i'll get them a box of royce before i stop work. maybe i should extend working to mid july? that would mean earning five hundred dollars more. hmm u think CMY? i stop on the day you get back? that week at least. after all, better earn more money now. CMY, dim sum dollies date?

details. take note. how to build and dont' be a shoddy dazed eyed idiot, me to myself. punctuality is my new goal. procrastination the old habit to destroy.

borders here i come tomorrow. bliss.

trala la, me and MY he picked me up from work today and we had lunch at bugis, then later on he picked me up from work and we went to holland village to have dinner and a drink at starbucks where the there was a teen couple sitting on the coverted chocolate coloured sofas on the second level but they left a while after we sat down and got our drinks and i sauntered over to the seats to chope, ha. and we saw my ugly pictures. i'm going to be a more dedicated photography student from now on. what happened to my skills????? aiyoh. holland v is quieter these days on weekends, i think everyone is headed off to town after work to shop. i can't wonder there, have to save money.

had a chat with chinee online and she will leave nottingham on tuesday for spain and then head back to london where she'll get me my edward hopper poster 'nighthawks' from the tate modern,lovely. going to work and ikea tomorrow to get my ma's curtains. asap girl.

oi, MY, i love u.
