The day started horrrrid with me curling up in bed, feeling unwell. It was terrible cause I did wake up very early to prepare to head out for the recee, but I just couldnt leave my bed. The pain and the weak state of mind were horrible. And last night, I felt feverish so I couldnt fall asleep. Its terrible that I know I'm falling ill, but my body doesnt allow me to do so. I've been feeling pukish, having bad tummy days, and now I'm kinda dizzy. But I just dont fall sick full blast. ZZ.
But I'm glad after resting almost half the day away, I managed to get myself out of the house and breathe in some fresh air. :) Dinner with my excolleagues at YMCA, at first it wa just Jonathan, Eric and Cheryl. Jason couldnt make it last min. Victor came along too! Which was great cause I've not met him for sooo long already. And Eric brought 2 of his friends, who I kinda know too. Dinner company was great! But dinner food was BAD! 15 mins used to serve excellent food but now the food sucks vvv badly. Everything was over slapped with salt.
See, once you become popular, you heck care about quality. Its so bad, I dont think I would want to go there anymore.

Dinner at Giraffe. The service was horrid but thank goodness the waiter had this poor-thing face so we didnt get pissed with him. And to make things better, it was coincidentally ladies night today and so there was the 1-for-1 main course promo. Damn shiok. And they forgot to include our soda in the bill. HAHAH!

After which, we went for a basic tshirt shopping. Therapy is good. ;)

I'm feeling unknowingly stressed again. Things are starting to accelerate. And I hate it when the TA doesnt reply my email, like I asked for a swap of presentation date cause in class he said it was allowed, then now hes not replying me. So, I'm left hanging, unsure if I'm going to present in Week 9, or Week 5. Makes a big difference laaaa. Asshole. And I'm starting to have bulks of email chains. HATE IT. And my boss is calling me, breathing down my neck.

I need alone time to sleep and do nothing, with my boyfriend. Oh but to make me feel super excited, Samuel is going to be silly with me this Saturday. I always wanted to do this, but I always think its damn stupid. But it will be fun! So hes going to try it out with me. HAHHA! Shalt say what cause if it fails, it will be even stupider.

I'm going on a recee for our camp's expedition tomorrow. Honestly, I'm feeling a little dead for it. But we'll see, I always end up having fun.

SUPER cute meowmeowsssssssssss!! :))) I like hanging out with my girl-boyfriend Jean. She carries the clothes I want to try, she chooses clothes for me and also, when I got rubbish in my hand (and I hate it), I can just pass it to her and she will take it for me. HA. LOVE leh.

And yup, Have fun in school Jean. But please come out to civilisation as much as you can, cause I out here all alone. D:

YUMMMMMMY STICKY CHEWY CHOCOLATE CAKE. The crust had the crunch and the chocolate inside was super soft, as if it is molten chocolate. I even spent more money to buy haagen daz vanilla icecream to match it. Super shiokz.
I had a damn strong craving to bake and I wanted to bake for Samuel. Samuel loves to eat chocolate and he has been nagging about brownies. HAHAH. So I thought I should bake something chocolatey and brownie lookalike. But pity, time and distance (and family dinner) didnt allow me to give him the cake. I froze a slice of it, and hopefully it will still taste okay by Saturday.
I feel so happy today. (Minus the occasional panick cause I'm not doing any work) I baked, I made a card, I watched videos, I finally used my Lemon face mask, I applied night serum on my hair. Days like this, I can totally be isolated but feel very at bliss.

Why dont we have such vintage photo booths in Singapore? I should import one and earn big bucks from it. I bet alot of people would love to use such photo booths. Its different taking photos from a camera and from a booth. And its different that your photos come out individually and not in a strip of 4. It is different.

And here is it, my usual reflective entry after a camp meeting.

I went for the meeting feeling nervous. I even forced myself to leave Samuel earlier so that I can feel the grounds at the centre before the meeting. But glad I went there earlier, cause it gave me enough time to loosen up and to talk to Eileen. Talking to Eileen makes you calm. HAHHA. Macciam drugs la.

So yes, people started streaming in. And best of all, its all the people whom I dont know at all. The JC1 students. Okay and soon meeting started. To be frank, I was super unprepared, thats why I was nervous. Justin, Eileen and I only met up on Thurs night to talk about the camp proper and the meeting agenda. Then I had readings to do after I got home on Thurs night, den Fri I had class early in the morn all the way to 315pm. So I was practically shagged out after class. I was so tired I couldnt even be myself and was getting nervous. So ya, sat at the library and cleared up the meeting agenda, thought about the icebreaker, troubleshooted everything. But there were still gaps inbetween and alot room for flaws. But ya, what the heck, just whack.

Meeting went on and I guess the people were all very nice and receptive to what I was saying. So that made me alot calmer. The calmer and natural I am, the more I deliver. So ya same goes when I talk in class, when I force myself to talk, its fake and horrid. When I talk naturally to raise a point in class, I feel good about myself. Ya so everyone was super nice cannn. Like when you talk, they nod, they respond, they pay attention. Super nice. :)

And best of all, I think they are starting to embrace the "just throw your image away and be yourself" theme that I wanted them to discover. Its just the 1st meeting, so I'm sure soon, they will love each other so much that they can laugh at each other and also laugh at themselves. And make the kids laugh and let the kids laugh at them.

I'm excited for Camp Toy Story 3C. It will be perfect.

OH NO. Dear and I forgot to take a photo yesterday. D:

We have the 1 photo per outing policy. HAHHA!

But I think on dates when we just watch a movie, eat some fast food, we generally dont have the need to take photos. So ya, I was super nice and decided to ask Samuel to watch the Expendables. Okay I was thinking, it cant be that bad ba, it should be exciting in a way of another. Truth is, yes it was damn exciting- killing, shooting, stabbing, bombing. Its a damn manly show, its manly until no kissing scene type. HAHHA. Just kill. Its a manly flick. Like no plot, no concrete storyline, we need to kill so we kill!

I had a terrible headache after the movie. The "bang bang bang" and "boom boom boom" kept ringing in my head. Like it was toooo much for me to handle during the last scene (like the climax of the show). Non stop noise, worse than rock concert. Ya, my headache was sooo bad that it progressed into me wanting to puke on the way home. D:

Dear was nice to me when I wanted to puke. I'm pretty annoying and bitchy when I'm unwell.

Being a great buddy, I dropped by Serangoon CC yesterday to check out what Kunloong was busy with. And be even nicer by helping him take photos. It was a quick basic grooming thing for dogs, and the crowd was not too bad. I'm not a great fan of dogs but I guess all furry animals are cute in their own ways. They should have a cat event next time. HAH!

Let me consolidate my thoughts about yesterday.

End of my headache. HAHAH! No more cake decorating class cause I've officially passed Wilton Method of Cake Decorating 1. :D Congrats to me and how I've survived it. I swear its not an easy feat at all. Packing was crazy, washing up was crazy, making cream was crazy, piping was crazy, getting messy was crazy. It was just very very very crazy. But I must say I've learnt alot. Cake decorating is not for the faint hearted and the boliao people. It is an art- you need the skill and the creativity, you need the feeling and the mental discipline. It is science- you need to know your angles, your directions, your strength.
Oh and the yellow flower thingy above. I think I totally rock at doing it. HAHH! Cheryl was damn good with her roses, Sook was damn good at frosting her cake, and Damn, I'm super good at making these sweet peas. HAHA! :D
I guess one day of another, you will find something you are talented in. Try more things and you must just crash into something you are actually very good at.

HPAIR 2010. Bored me to death. HAHAHHA! I was pmsy so I didnt do anything to help, ya, I'm that annoying. I guess the whole thing wasnt even planned well from the start. We were told to reach at 10am for a briefing, but at about 1040am nothing was going on, so we were damn rebellious so we headed for breakfast. After that, we reached back again at about 11+ and the briefing of no meaning started and ended telling us we can have lunch soon. They catered lunch for us. And we waited and waited and at about 1+, we were finally asked to go for lunch. After lunch, the delegates came and they had their buffet lunch while a few of them came over to the booths. We were at the booths. Their lunchtime was was barely an hour and the delegates had to rush off to another seminar already. ZZZ.

So the delegates left, and being rebellious, we went to the buffet tables to have our share of the good buffet. HAH. So thats all we did for HPAIR.

I hate having the pukish feeling. Like my stomach is swirling and I feel substance in my throat all ready to push themselves out of my mouth. I dont want to puke. I think I've no puke since like seconday school or something. I really hate puking. D:

I'm sick and I'm needy. I need someone to worry for me, concern for me, wouldnt want to leave me when I'm feeling unwell, who will rush to me the minute time allows, who will be sweet and accomodating to all my wants. Cause I am sick what. D: SIGH. Doesnt happen in my reality. My NS bf is just too tired he wants to sleep asap. And hes in camp so he cant do anything.

Why am I putting myself in such circumstances? D:

I'm in extreme PMS mode. Its the typical, I feel so ugly, I feel so unloved, I feel so drowsy, I feel so hopeless in life, I feel stupid and mediocre, I feel so heavy, I feel so alone, I dont feel like talking, I dont feel like leaving my bed, I dont feel like seeing anyone, I dont feel like going to school, I dont feel like doing work, I dont feel happy.

FUCK. I'm like a depressed kid. I need PMS to end quick, I got work to do. I need to class part in class!! ARGH!

This is a rough patch. I must keep my spirits high. I must not give up hope. I must not be sad. I must stop thinking. I must remove this burden. I must not let it affect my life. I must continue being happy. I must stop thinking negatively.

YEAHYEAHYEAH! We learnt how to pipe roses in class today. I seriously wanted to give up halfway like cause I was the worst in class and I just couldnt get it. You know, the more you cant get it, the more dulan you become, the worse everything turns out. So ya, I was trapped in that cycle and was just extremely dulan with myself and with all the buttercream and all the mess.

But yup, after spending practically the whole day, I've finally made some decent roses. :) I'm sooo proud of myself you knoww. Like I feel like I'm top of the world now. I know once I compare my roses to my friends' or classmates', mine confirm damn cui la, but I dont care. As of now, they look as pretty as real roses. HAHAH.

And I made blue roses cause one of the most beautiful bouquet of flowers Samuel gave to me was blue roses. So gay ah. I was supposed to think of a concept for my final cake and I had to incorporate 5 roses in it. So ya, decided to make something from my fond memories. As long as its from a part of my memory, a part of me, I'm sure my cake will look beautiful.

Happy birthday Jasmine! =) Whenever YMCA friends have birthday parties, the first thought will always be, how come they can be so brave to decide who to invite?
The Y people there yesterday was a great mix of the alumni and the freshies. To be honest, I felt like the alumni that totally fade away already. Thanks to Kunloong for being the other loser too. HAHAHH! But that said, it was still nice meeting people whom I used to meet every other week during past camp meetings and other random meet ups. Birthday parties are always good for meeting people up again.
And I was pretty tired during the whole party. Must have woken up too early yesterday already. Woke up at 7 to go for Y Reading at Kits4Kids. The kids were beyond cuteness I tell you. I was squirming like an idiot when I saw all the little 4-9yr olds yesterday. Heh. =)
Met up with Samuel to watch Step Up 3 in the afternoon. The plot of the story is so expected but the dance moves were crazy. Met up with Samuel again after Jasmine's party. =) So sad no photos of Samuel this weekend. I dont really like forced smiles in photograhs. Ya but we are revamping our relationship. It will get better soon!

After Vivace on Friday. Friends like them make 1st week of school so much more lively. We were all mildly crazy on that day and started drinking at about 7pm. Drank until the cows came home at 11+pm. I'm not sure was it the influence of the beer or the quiz thing that we participated in or the company or the mood, but everyone was damn high talking all night. We were emo but became not emo, but we were talking about emo stuff. I must say I totally needed that drinking session, I felt alot more relieved talking so much and laughing like crazy.
And after drinking 2 jugs of Stella, Yeah we won another jug and 2 bottles of Stella and a bowl of popcorn. Ya we were weird enough to treat the quiz so seriously. I guess it was so fun and comfortable cause we were all very casual with each other, all dressed like crap thanks to Vivace, all facing some sort of emotional turmoil.
More of this this sem and I will feel alot less pressurized.

The first time I pipe buttercream seriously. K I know it looks quite cui, but it is great effort. And the whole process of making buttercream and mixing the colours can kill me already. Before I can even think of piping stuff, I'm already half dead. Cake decorating is serious business manz. No joke.

I am tired already!!

First day of school was okay, not fantastic cause I didnt class part. Damn I'm mediocre. I need warming up.

Okay and I forgot to do 1 part of my cake decorating class hmwork, so I must chiong it tomorrow. Hate it when I cannot go to sleep peacefully.

I'm still coping with everything so I'm still very unsure and forgetful about my schedule. No one to blame but myself. So SORRRY to those that I confused and made frustrated. =/

I got my Understanding Soci mod! Yeah!! 5 mods this sem. Never did it before so Good luck to me.

And I really want to spend more time with Samuel. I miss hanging out with him, going out the whole day, having nice dinners, staying over, and being in the lovey dovey bubble with him. The bubble when we can just keep talking to each other and gaze into each other's eyes. I just miss having gay couple fun with him. D:

I'm so excited I keep thinking its today. Like I will think 'What time should I leave my house for the airport later". Crazy already.

This is the loooooongest time we've been seperated. And last 9days was also the loooooongest time we've not contacted each other. I'm really glad Samuel didnt have too hard a time when he was outfield. He seemed to have enjoyed it actually. And I think its an experience not everyone can go through so it must have been awesome. Of course, I enjoyed myself here too. I'm glad I had friends to occupy my time. I had sufficient alone time, more than enough happy friend times, enough chilling, enough shopping, enough girly talks, enough manly talks. I have quite a perfect life eh.

Now I'm so excited like I'm going to redeem my jackpot prize tomorrow. =)

My boyfriend is coming home tomorrow! :) And I'm going to be the No 1 gf and head down to the airport in the middle of the night to catch a glimpse of him. HAHA! And to give him the biggest hug in the whole wide world. But I'm on a deficit of hugs now, need to replenish the supply again.

I wonder if we will still be celebrating our anniversary since it has passed for like a week already.

So I hope despite us just lingering around, I hope you know that we are here for you, always. And I'm damn paiseh for reaching so late. HAHAH! Sorrrrry!

As usual, I feel most comfortable hanging out with my sec sch friends. :)

Okay, what terrible photos. Went for Darren's birthday at YMCA rooftop. I must say, this is a very different crowd for a birthday party. Darren is like a full fletched adult already. He mixes with adults and are friends with adults. For most of the time I was at the party, I was the only girl. The rest were women. Darren is a nice dude and its sweet that he invited me. Thank goodness Yiliang was there to talk cock with me. And Albert Ching sat with us to kinda talk cock too. HAH! Darren will have a bright future ahead of him.

I feel like my past again. I'm hooked on my then proclaimed favourite band, Maroon 5. I was crazy enough to go for their concert then. I might just do the same now. HAH! Their songs just got that very sexy groovy tune to it. Love it. I'm like a crazy fan gal again now. And my friends should know how difficult it is for me to have an eyecandy, but I guess, Adam Levine is my eye candy. HAHAHHAHH! Siao.
Go listen to K'naan feat Adam Levine's Bang Bang. Makes my day so much groovier too. I'm sick enough to hear it on replay.

It was nice just chilling out and doing almost nothing today with Aud, Lu and Siewhoon. We just sat down, talk Idunowhat and time just floated away. I really really really wonder when we will meet up again. Cause I was telling them, once school begins, NUS ppl goes on with life at NUS and NTU ppl are even worse, far far FAR away. I dont want school to begin cause I know my friends from these schools will just drift back to their school term hideouts. D:

My digi cam sucks har. My internship is kinda kicking ass. I still get to help with Channel News Asia filming. It was quite an experience I must say. And the crew were very excited to tell me about their job stories and I'm very excited to hear them too. =)

I'm so gonna get an internship at Mediacorp next summer. But $10-20 per day. Erh. We'll see how ah. But maybe by then, they dont remember me already.

Even though I'm kinda like free labour yesterday, I really didnt mind. I got to meet my neighbours who were very happy to see me. And Uncle still asked me how much do cashiers earned at my workplace, $6, so he offered me $6.50 per hour if I work at his provision shop. HA. Then they were saying next time if I'm free, I can follow them to the coffee bean factory and see how they roast coffeebeans. Damn Awesome.

Yesterday was a excellent day, really. I've learnt so much about media and filming. I've spent like an hour just chatting with the Uncles. I'm macciam their grand daughter or sth. And I felt so much love from my friends yesterday. And also, SAMUEL CALLED ME. HAH. =) He called me even before he brushed his teeth. Ya, big deal can, he didnt brush his teeth for 9 days already. HAHAH!
