Haiz... felt so bad. just check the co's email. there are like so many things i can do, for a change, and yet here i am at home, rolling in my bed most of the time numbing the throbbing feeling. gotta skip swimming this evening too, how sianz. might as well use the time to do some work... sigh sigh sigh... hopefully i'll feel better & luckier tmr... if not dunno how to tahan the stay-up. better update my finances, got so many things to pay recently and soon. must think of ways to earn extra $. bleh.. life.

Ramblings

So i did, almost, broke my record of continuous attendance. lolz

Really feel like staying in today if not for the fact i got sch later. Didn't sleep well for the past few nights.
Gosh... once i even dreamt that i failed my wbp module with 26%! Exams is in July lor... im going insane. I wasn't even paying as much attention as i did last yr, y such morbid dreams?! probably a wake-up call to get my butt into momentum issit?!


i have 101 things to do and the last thing is to sit inside the office and stared blankly into the screen, like now. I could run so plenty of errands if not of that i've to put my butt in here for livelihood. haiz... ...

one more day to Friday...

cant wait to see the gals on wed...

TGIF

this entry was in 'draft' status since 11April, long forgetten.

woke up with a great reluctance to work. dark clouds, heavy rain... perfect to sleep in.

decided not to for fear incur mum's wrath. plus i've had a good record this year, not to mention the 2wks MC. hence, i braved the exhaution, numbness, big downpour to 'aquarium' to find that there's nothing to do! couple of pathetic faxes, emails, request & that's all?! I finish it all in less than 2hrs...



should have go with my instinct... arghhh



was abt to play 'match it' with ting when tkn walked in, sianzzz. she left 1/2hr later, dunno why she bother to come in the 1st place. there's 3more hrs to go still... bored bored bored bored bored... i've been reading bk 4 for the 2nd time since lunch... having this immense urge to leave the office to go cut my hair. though rebonding is what i need now but lacking the moolahs.



overspend recently, since after exams when my wallet was collecting dust. can u believe if i tell u i can go through days without reaching for my wallet?!

from jamie's trackshoes, heels for myself, day out with qi & min to amk hub = untraceable money gone that day, bills, pedi cpak, not to mention school fees in may n the swimming lesson fee next wk, a package planning to take plus the penang trip... blah blah blah...

limitless stuffs.. limited moolahs...



On a happier note... Minmin won silver for her 200m & bronze for 4x100m relay in her sch's sports' day. So happy for her... not to mention the time (brought her to the stadium last sat for practice) & effort ($29.90 track shoe, the one i wore is only $12.90) spent.

mum was so elated that she called me straight after the run, commentating the race for me. can really feel the excitedness from her tone. seems that min, last runner for her team, manage to overtake 2 runners to take the 3rd placing.

Can sense that mum is really happy also. was complaining she never turned up for any sch events during qi & mine's era. But cant really blame, both of us never ran though we both got trophies for field events not held on actual day.

Gosh...

Erm.. i just tag something i wasnt even sure if i shld.. what's done is done. just hope it is untraceable.. urphs

Qi is coming back for good this week after 6mths in hall9 with the occassional returns.... means I got nowhere to go if i want to read my novel to the middle of the night.

it's amazing that disengagement seems easier than engagement. I'm used to her popping ard for few days a week nia that i wonder how i or we gonna cope... maybe she'll be surprised that how little time i'm at home on weekdays. No thanks to the aquarium at far far away land & sch on evenings. Guess there's gonna be the usual disagreements of household chores delegation, the 'taking-in-hand" of Min, the toliet timetable etc...

Probably most important of all, is to keep my temper in check. Must stop the habit of nagging everyone before i morphed into a bossy bitch.. lolz.

MSN

Here i am sitting down after a hetic morning.. gotta shift all the furnitures to repalce the flooring mat which was soaked with fish water from next door's fish tank. arms aching sia..

L told me this is her fav website = site that she put in the fav list. Lolz.. so i tot i better update a bit... haha

Sometimes when i'm really Really REALLY bored at work, which is most of the times, I'm glad that friends and sisters are ard to chat with him, making time more bearable for me.

Sometimes i really regret tt i taught minmin how to msn.. especially when im busy.
her typing speed is one thing, her expression is another. Sometimes i tot im talking to some ang moh kia - AMK

Sometimes i ran out of topics with her... always the usual asking abt sch, hw, mum n swimming...
makes me wonder if im over-extending control over her.. it wasn't long b4 i realise my worries are unfounded. she master the skill of pacifying me...

This few weeks i woke up not to the alarm clock or the sunlight or naturally... but to the screaming of mum at her..

wake up.. learn ur spelling. today got spelling u last night never learn

your compo is disgusting.. re-do
corrections not done
jia, wake up
pencil box not in sch bag
comb ur hair
jia, wake up
change ur clothes
keep the books
jia, wake up
hurry eat ur breakfast
etc,etc.

imagine the shock i woke up to... sigh.

anyway... dear leng is finally starting a blog.. still in the midst of doing while im writing here
(cheenafied.wordpress.com - the 2 of u, pls help her with this, i dun use wordpress & she really got zero knowledge. "need to pay?" was the qn i'll never forget, =p)

P/s: She is quite enthusiatic abt us 4 going for a short trip next yr for our 10th anniv - HKG/Macau

Jun calling for a night out if I didn't see her comments wrongly.. (sleeping at 330hr makes ur eyes blurry n watery..)

Ting is stuck with work n exam on the 28th n probably her infatutation with Fernández Torres n maybe leng's oscar. Maybe we shld meet w/o her 1st? haha

as for me... the ever-procrastintor is finally going for her swimming lessons! getting jittery though.... images of me in that wacky swim wear... glurpppp

will try to update soon..

TGIF =)

The Other Boleyn Girl

I rarely watch movies, but this is a MUST for me. The last show that I die die must watch was "The Prestige" , yeah Scarlett Johansson again. maybe is the hunks effect, Eric Bana Christian Bale or Hugh Jackman. LOLZ. I was thinking no kaki also must go watch alone. But heng ting can acc me go watch this. we 2 really got telepathy, 受不了... YY dun be jealous ok?! haha.

Based on the best selling novel by Philippa Gregory, "The Other Boleyn Girl" is an engrossing and sensual tale of intrigue, romance, and betrayal set against the backdrop of a defining moment in history. Two sisters, Anne (Natalie Portman) and Mary (Scarlett Johansson) Boleyn, are driven by their ambitious father and uncle to advance the family's power and status by courting the affections of the King of England (Eric Bana). Leaving behind the simplicity of country life, the girls are thrust into the dangerous and thrilling world of court life and what began as a bid to help their family develops into a ruthless rivalry between Anne and Mary for the love of the king. Initially, Mary wins King Henry's favor and becomes his mistress, bearing him an illegitimate child. But Anne, clever, conniving, and fearless, edges aside both her sister and Henry's wife, Queen Katherine of Aragon, in her relentless pursuit of the king. Despite Mary's genuine feelings for Henry, her sister Anne has her sights set on the ultimate prize; Anne will not stop until she is Queen of England. As the Boleyn girls battle for the love of a king one driven by ambition, the other by true affection England is torn apart. Despite the dramatic consequences, the Boleyn girls ultimately find strength and loyalty in each other, and they remain forever connected by their bond as sisters.

Identity Crisis!

Interestingly, i had a several encounters with sales promoter lately.

Some tot i'm a young mother in her early 20s (cos' of jamie lim lah, who else?!)
Some see me as 30+ mixed chinese-malay.. (huh?!)
Some ppl tot i'm 18 m'sia (what the...)
some tot i'm from mainland (GASPS!) is it cos i wore specs? my fluent mandarin? my hair?

There could be many other speculations unknown to me... except a 23yr old Singaporean 100% pure bloood Hokkien Chinese.

This is very horrifying, ok?!

How is a 20yr SG-ian suppose to 'look' like anyway?

Must 检讨检讨...... sux.

Post-Exam; Get a Life

As always... the period after every last paper seems so empty.

in the past, there's always after-exams celebration with friends. Ask me to go out with these ppl now... i guess they are as reluctant as me cos there's always the tendency to check answers. (what the...)

I took the jurong route home, alight at yishun wanting to shop ard in northpoint. Alas! NP having a revamp... there isn't anything I can buy. There's always this STRONG URRGE to spend $$$... retail therapy yah. in the end got min a scrungee. mum yelled her head off that morning cos minmin cldn't find her hair tie. I woke up to all these screaming almost every morning. haiz... auto gear pls, Jamie.
I just recalled i just bought a pair of track shoe for min also but that wasn't satisfying leh. haiz

This is so sianzzz.... when im supposed to be studying, many to-do/to-buy stuffs keeping popping into my mind. Yet when im so free now.. i cant recall any of those.

Want to go jalan jalan... but everyone like so busy...

was thinking of a weekend trip to batam or JB this mth... no kaki. haizzzz

finding travel kaki is a very difficult task. even close friends or family might not be a good choice. this theory is tried and tested. =p if go alone, sure kenna niam. haizzzz

i really need to pick up swimming soon... at least I got something to occupy myself other than sch n work. also, wont get tease by jamie. ting aldy on me for diving liao.. so must set a timeline for this. =)

This idea is part of the self-implemented program on "Get a life, Jacq!" LOLz

sidenote: tkn's son was almost drowned in a condominium pool last week. tkn very anxiously book me for swimming lesson in june. i was almost drowned once long long time ago on a fateful day at Jurong Safra after a Chinese Garden visit but it didn't occur my folks to send for swimming lessons. Why huh?! (details were input mum when i clarified with her this memory of mine)

JacQ

is freed!!! exams over =)
