Raw emotions....

Surgical experience

2006-07-14T17:21:00.000+08:00

Ugh! I just undergone a minor operation: excission of abscess. I'm not gonna bore myself explaining that medical term, just that it involves pus.

I hate what I've to go through, hate that it has to be at the most fuckin awkward place...arghhhh!!!! This's soooo unfair!!!!

This whole thing is the root of all the tantrums and mood swings I've been having lately. And like that's not enough, I'm missing out on lessons in school. Not that I give a damn missing this wretched school, but now I've to pay my dues, try to catch up in lectures, and fend off those nosy questions from the hypocrites. I'm gonna hate the latter the most.

Whenever I bring up the subject of the hypocrites, I feel like committing genocide or something. So.....better stop here before I really lose control.

A new face!

2006-06-11T22:49:00.000+08:00

My blog has undergone a renovation. Before this, it was filled with cobwebs and spiders (urghh!)...I've been neglecting it all these months!

I had a hard time choosing the new skin, but this skin totally epitomises what I feel about life and the people in it. So there...my skin speaks for itself!

So many many things happened during these past few months, but I'll talk about them later...coz now, I'm feeling kinda sleepy. Night for now.

Reflections with Tilz....

2006-01-27T22:58:00.000+08:00

Ok, I finally found some time to revive this inactive blog....sorry guys. I'm just gonna give the same excuse__it's a fact anyway__I'm overloaded with tests after tests and projects.
This entry is long overdued coz' Matilda (affectionately nicked as "Tilz") left for Italy last Friday. Anyway, we managed to squeeze in 2 days all to ourselves while she was in Singapore for 11 days. We watched 2 movies "Elizabethtown" and "Memoirs of a Geisha", the former was kinda draggy in the first few parts, but the ending was real nice. Quite inspirational. The latter was awesome, maybe it's coz' I haven't read the book....ya know how you get disappointed when u watch a movie adapted from a book, but they failed to portray the intensity and stuff.
Tilz is an artist in the making. No doubt! We were having lunch and while waiting for me to finish up, she whipped out her sketch book and started sketching. Call it instinct, but I somehow felt that I was the subject of her sketch. Imagine the thought of having your portrait done while you're eating out of a sizzling hot-plate! Hahahhahhah!!!! But it was cool, she showed me her sketch and it was really neat! She was the only person who could see through my mask of a "happy" person, and sketch it out. Pretty deep, I know.
We spent more than 2hrs at a cafe reminiscing about the fabulous days in DSY__nothing can replace those days, especially in this dreary land. I love you guys!!! You know who I'm talking about, and for those who don't, they're the people who put colours in my life and help me discover who I am, during the brief years.
Oooo....Tilz gave me a charm bracelet! Something which I've been thinking of buying for quite some time! Now, all I need is to fill the bracelet with charms.

I wish I could be in Tilz's shoes....she gets to travel around the world ALONE!!! That's totally exciting but of course, it could get scary too. But I'd say "Hell yeah!" if I were given that kinda chance. Anything to get out of these shackles that bound me to the dysfunctional family and even more drabby school-life. *scoffs* Who am I kidding....I might get rid of the latter soon, after I graduate, but I'm still bound to my parents, coz' they brought me up and blah blah...just coz'. Arghhh....I wouldn't mind sticking with them if my mom was still the mom she was when I was still a kid. *curses*
Whoever is writing out this life of mine, I hate U for what you've done so far! I don't deserve this!

*stomps off*

My True Color.....I totally agree...

2006-01-01T01:46:00.000+08:00

Su, your true color is Red!

Your color is red, the color of racy sportscars, blushing cheeks, and luscious roses. Red symbolizes passion, romance, and love. So, since you're ruled by red, you probably trust your feelings more than your brain and tend to act spontaneously. If you see something you want, you go for it without thinking twice — impulsive is your middle name. You don't wait around for people to make decisions, either; you dive right in. Quite the romantic, you pay close attention to your emotions. In fact, if your heart isn't in what you're doing, you won't be satisfied. Of course, even when you do pour all your energy into the projects you tackle, your impetuous nature means your passions can shift as frequently as the wind. That's why some reds have trouble with commitment. Our advice? Next time you're feeling fickle, think before you act, if possible. You might be surprised at the results. Overall, though, it's great to be red. No one lives life more completely than you do.

A New Year = New Beginnings?

2006-01-01T01:06:00.000+08:00

Happy New Year darlings!

So, how did I countdown to Year 2006, u ask? I chilled out at home with 2 movies: "13 going on 30" and a Burmese movie ( I've been feeling so nostalgic these days....). Both movies were good in their own sense. Anyway, thought I'll squeeze in a last minute New Year Resolution-->

Give more attention to studies, felt like I've been neglecting it for a while.
Appreciate in the people/things I have.
I won't wallow in self-pity.
Make the most of being single.
I'll make sure I voice out my opinions even if it's with my parents.
Have an optimistic outlook on life again, though it might seem impossible, especially at times like these.
Smile more.
Live!!!

I'm hoping for a better year this 2006......................................

What makes a winner?

2005-12-24T23:32:00.000+08:00

That was one of the questions that was thrown to one of the male contestants in the Mr and Miss Singapore Polytechnic 05/06, held yesterday, 23rd of Dec. Now, I'm asking myself that question coz' I'm the 2nd-runner up (only). I'm hoping that writing the answers down to the question will somehow ease the blow of coming out third. Here goes nothing.....

1) A winner is not someone who bags the trophy, but someone who picks herself up when she falls and carries on with her journey, chin up, with a smile on her face.
2) In this pageant, everyone's a winner coz' we travelled the same route, faced the same challenges, received the same training and most importantly shared wonderful, invaluable memories which can never be replaced with either the title or the prizes, coz' you can't rewind time or buy those memories.
3) At least I'm in the top 3! That isn't bad at all!!!
4) It's tiring being a perfectionist, and I wasn't expecting anything anyway.
5) Remember Su, your main aim in participating in this pageant is to have the experience, make frenz, and have fun, fun, fun!!!

These answers are merely for my own benefit. Helps me see the bright side of things.

Right, now that I've got it settled, let me fill you in on the MMSP finals! heheh...

1100: Reported to school. Gathered at FC5 where our nannies forced us to eat our lunch. KFC, fast food.....something which I've vowed to abstain from.
1300: Proceeded to the Convention Centre. Had last-minute run through of the show, last minute changes, stuff....
1530: Make-up time!
1730: Morphed from natural beauty to glammed up divas! Yes! It took 2 hrs to have the hair and make up done! Maybe it even took longer, I'm just estimating here.....
1800: Ate packed dinner which tasted like .....wait, it didn't have any taste at all, coz' my tastebuds have mal-functioned, thanks to the havoc-ish nerves.
1830: Changed into our first wear, casual wear. Had to prep myself up for the show, mentally.
1900: Show begins! First item-->> "Relight my fire" dance.
1915: Rushed back to changing room to change into our beach-wear. I had to don a pareo and wear it as a tube dress.....not very flattering for my figure coz' it looked baggy, like a towel draped around me. *rolls eyes* I didn't have much choice when choosing the beach-wear, coz' had to keep a couple of things in mind__not exposing too much skin, and being different from the rest of the contestants, just to name a few.
1920: Beach-wear catwalk. I wasn't feeling IT! *geeez*
1930:Q & A. My question: If you were offered a choice between a modeling career with a prestigious agency or a degree in a prestigious University, which would you choose? My answer: The latter. Coz' it's always been my plan and with a degree, I've the freedom to choose the career I want and change it whenever I want, wherever I want.
2000: The crowning of "Ms Body Beautiful" and "Mr Physique". Eileen and Ian won the titles__no surprise there, everyone expected them to get the titles.
2010: Intermission for the audience. For the contestants, it was time to change hair dos, from casual chic to elegant up-do. After touch-ups, we changed into the ethnic wear. The girls wore Malay traditional costumes, while the guys wore Indian costumes.
2030: Garam Masala: that's the name of the ethnic wear performance. It wasn't judged so no point talking about it.
2050: Rushed back to change into our formal wear. Loved that formal dress I wore! Swooooooon! Even Andy J. (our choreographer) thought so.
2110: Formal cat-walk. Went pretty well.
2130: Q & A. Question: If you were to represent Singapore in an International pageant, what 3 things would you bring along to represent Singapore. Answer: A bunch of orchids, coz' it's the national flower. A miniature Merlion, coz' it's the Singapore icon and a no-littering sign, coz' Singapore's a Fine country.
2200: Waiting for tabulation of points.
2230: Still waiting......
2245: Crowning of "Ms Congeniality" and "Mr Personality". Eileen and JunHao won, based on votes alone. Crowning of "Mr and Ms SP".
2315: THE END!

Oh, I think I forgot to mention that at the earlier part of the day until the formal wear segment, I wasn't feeling like myself. I felt strangely calm and devoid of any emotions. That's why I had to prep myself up before the show starts and try to get excited and all. It was like I was watching the event from a distance. But I found myself back when I wore that gown, when I had the touch-ups and changed my hair-do to a formal up-do. If only I could wear that gown for a longer period of time......

After the curtain closed, and while the contestants hugged and thanked their supporters, I was left alone, in a daze, lost in a fog of blank emotions. I was trying to think of what I should be doing next when someone called out my name. It was a guy, one of the judges I presumed. He took my hand and congratulated me. Shaking my hand for about 3 min straight, he complimented me on my looks, performance, bla bla bla. I wasn't really listening. Then, he said "You were one of my choices from the very beginning....". That caught my attention. I went like "Hmmm?" in my head. I realized I didn't even know his name, so after thanking him again, I rushed on"Umm....sorry, I didn't catch your name.....", hoping that he really hasn't introduced himself to me. Imagine, if he did introduced himself and I wasn't paying attention, I'd be caught red-handed! Anyway, his name's "Daniel". He was picked as the "Most Eligible Bachelor" in...I forgot which year, but pretty way back I think. hahahha........Not that I'd care, I don't even know how his looks are coz' he was wearing shades. Physique-wise, pretty good....has the height and the proportionate build. *shrugs* oh well, at least I found a judge who likes me, among the 13 judges. *scoffs*

Formal cat-walk: Ian and I.........love the dress!

Taken with my lovely frenz__my supporters__my fans....lol....thanks for being there for me throughout the competition guys! love you! *muacks*

Finally, I lil' teeny breather.....

2005-12-10T00:21:00.000+08:00

Phew! At last, I watched Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, before it's run its course at the cinemas. Of course, Dani was my company....u can be assured of having a good time with her around. *smiles The movie itself was good, Cedric Diggery is sooooo HOT! Wonder who was the actor playing his character. Such a waste he had to die in the movie. Can't look forward to more of him in the sequel movies. *sob* My weakness for those dishy actors confirmed one thing__I've a soft spot for guys with a chiselled jaw and cleft chin (among other features like the expressive, deep eyes). And you know what, there's probably only like 1 in 100 guys with those gorgeous features ( simply gorgeous-looking) in Asia. Especially in .....*rolls eyes* Anyway, I was sharing my thoughts with my dad and his clever reply was that I see handsome guys only in the movies, when in reality, the majority of people in USA are obese (a fact I've known a long time ago) But still........as if those facts and figures will deter me from my assumption. The majority of those obese people are most probably in their late 30s......adolescents and young adults like us would probably be more careful with their figures. Peer pressure is always prevalent in this age group.

I digress. I'm glad I had a teeny weeny bit of "me" time today. Been so busy with the preparations for the MMSP finals. We had to go to sponsor after sponsor (in 2 consecutive weekdays) to try on our clothes and shoes. It's really fun to go into a shop/boutique and choose whatever you wanna wear and just walk out of the shop without paying. But, coz' we had to go on weekdays after school, which is like 5 or 6 in the evening, it'll stretch till late into the nght.....so, it's quite tiring too. We still have 3 to 4 more sponsors to go to = more of the trying out clothes = more laughters and memories. = more bonding = more fatigue = more late nights = more frowns from my parents.

Nevertheless.....I'll survive. *grins* *winks*

MMSP so far....

2005-11-26T22:53:00.000+08:00

I just came back from the MMSP dance camp which lasted for as long as 1 overnight stay in school. Wish it could've been longer.....
Hmmm...I'll start from the very beginning of the day. I hosted the !CHILL @ SP event, outdoors with Naing (he's a pretty good emcee). I caught a couple of guys taking 'discrete' photos of me with their camera phones. *glares* What nerve! If they wanted to take a photo of me, they could jolly well ask for my permission. (not that I'll give them the consent) Just goes to show how cowardice and unmannered they are. Ugh. Can't be bothered. Gotta move on with the highlight of the day__the MMSP camp!
After we settled down in our 'bedroom' for the night, the committee persons told us to put on blindfolds. Hah, I knew they were gonna have a night-walk. I paired up with my partner, Ian, and off we went to our appointed route, anticipating for someone to lurk out from the corners and scare us. But much to our surprise, none of that took place. Here are some of the memorable stuff that happened though:
--at our first station, the game master squeezed Mayo on Ian's belly-button(Ian had to lie on the table), and I had to lick the mayo off his belly-button! Yikes! I kept laughing at the absurdity of the task, but knew I had to get it over with. So, somehow, I managed to force myself to lick that glob of mayo from his belly-button. It's gonna be take me a while to eat mayonnaise again.
--there was a station called the "Karma Sutra" station. I know what you're thinking....I had the same reaction when they told me the name. But, thank GOD we didn't have to do anything obscene. *sticks tongue out*
--my fav station has got to be the "Reflection" station. There, Ian and I gathered around a burning candle, along with 3 other committee members, and we had to open up to each other. Ian and I shared our thoughts on the competition, our strengths and weaknesses. That was the time when I finally got a peek at Ian's personality. Before this, all I knew of him was that he's the hunkiest guy in the pageant (and thus easier for him to carry me lest the need arises__and believe me, the need did arise!)
Hahaha....

Overall, I had loads of fun and I feel closer to my fellow contestants. The bonding sessions sure help. Nice work MMSP committee!

----------------------------------------||------------------------------------------

Hmm...I know this's the only entry I made about MMSP so far, but I just couldn't find the time to update my blog at all! Lots of stuff I haven't say, lots of happenings I haven't jot down, lots of entries delayed. So, before I delay any further, I shall talk a lil' about the MMSP semi-finals.

*ponders for a sec* It was on the 15th of Nov, and we had to learn a last-minute cat-walk formation. It was chaos backstage. All the contestants were having their make-up/hair done and in between, we had to rush out to the stage for last-minute skit rehearsals. The make-up artist took about an hour fussing over me! While I was stuck in that chair, having my face and hair done, my friends who were coming to support me were demanding for more tickets but I was forbidden to go out to meet them (by the committee's orders). It was claustrophobic! It was a first-hand experience of what models probably go through before their runway show.

The show itself was pretty nerve-wrecking. Though my drama went pretty smoothly. (haha...that rhymed). My Q & A........ *laughs mockingly*
I'm just thrilled to have made it to the finals! Will do my best!

Arghhhhh!!! I need to blog more!

Reminiscence of India

2005-10-23T18:04:00.000+08:00

Ok, I've been stalling time to write this entry, partly coz I was busy and partly coz I was lost in my own world, own time__a time when I was back in India. I wanted to cling onto every bit of memory and hold sentimental value to every little thing I bought in India. Man, it feels like only yesterday when I checked into Changi Airport for my departure to New Delhi. *takes a deep breath* here's a day by day review of my 9 days trip to India......

Oct 2nd (Sun):
I arrived at Changi Airport at about 6:45 am, 15 min before the meeting time at 7am. The first person I saw was Eden, though I wasn't sure if he was part of our tour group. ( I didn't even know his name). My family and I decided to have breakfast and while I was looking around the eateries, I saw Herry and Ming Hui. This time, I knew they were part of the tour group. Ha ha....

After checking in the lugguage and all, we proceeded to the boarding area. Our first impression of the Air Sahara plane (the one we were taking) was that it was small. Once we got aboard the plane, we had to sit according to our boarding pass and I ended up getting a seat beside Ming Hui (didn't know his name at that time). He was nice enough to switch seats with May so we could sit together.

It was a 5-hr flight and the in-flight entertainment consisted of music stations (with only one English station where they only had about 10 songs which kept repeating) and a TV. The in-flight food tasted queer to say the least.

After we landed at New Delhi Intl. Airport and settled the immigration stuff, we met with the local tour guide, Raj, who welcomed us with the traditional garlands. I felt as though those garlands are the bridge to the rich culture of India, luring us on. The first Hindi word I learnt is "Namaste" which is a greeting. Mid-way to our hotel, our coach stopped at the Imperial Hotel (6 stars) upon the request of some of the students to stop for burgers at McDonald's. May and I needed to use the washroom, so we sneaked into the Imperial Hotel and it was GRAND!! Everyone of the hotel's employee was good-looking, even the bell-boy (who, btw, shouted a cheery greeting to me with a wink *hah*). After checking-in to the Park Hotel (the hotel we were staying at), we proceeded to the Asia's largest mosque. There, we were supposed to pay a fee to bring in our cameras and we didn't wanna, so May and I smuggled in our cameras and snapped a few pics. Unfortunately, our tour leader, Beena, caught us red-handed. *embarrassed giggle* While we were waiting for the hawkers to finish hawking their wares in the coach, a funeral procession passed us by. The corpse was wrapped with bandages, like a mummy , and carried on a gurney just like that, without a coffin. It was an interesting yet scary sight. Our next stop was to Ghandi's memorial site, where the locals were having some kinda commemorative day. As we were leaving the site, we saw a local school lining up in pairs ( with girls to one side and guys to another side) to leave as well. Just for the fun of it, I joined in the queue and took photos, much to the amusement of the local students. Ok, then this really funny thing happened when I got back on the bus. The school bus of the local students was right beside ours and one of the school-boys sitting across from my window took out his camera and indicated, using hand gestures, that he wanted to snap a pic of me. hhahhahha. Of course, there was no way I could reject and it wasn't fair for them anyway coz' I took photos with them, so I gave a lil' smile to his camera. Everyone in my bus saw the whole thing and they went like "Who's taking photo of Su? OMG! Heeee hee hehee hee". Mr. Andrew joked at me with a "they think you're a Bolloywood star". LOL!! *blush*

For dinner, we went to Waves Restaurant. The food was delicious!! We had tandoori chicken, naan, chicken curry (real yummy) among other main dishes and had vanilla ice-cream for dessert. The service was wonderful! Really commendable. I was asking one of the waiters for the name of a local sweet I was looking for( I'd a hard time describing, with sign language and all). But alas, he understood and brought me the exact thing I wanted. It was complimentary, and I was sitting at a table where there were about 10 people. Everyone had their eyes on that one ball of sweet and so we smashed it into bits and shared. Its name is "Gulab Jamun"

Back at the hotel, after showering and all, May became restless and we decided to knock on the room next door (coz we heard laughter and knew they were playing games) and kinda invited ourselves to their game. Hahhaha... It happened to be Liyana's and Cynthia's room. Wan Wan, Na Na, Cynthia, May, Ming Hui and I played some games. We were enjoying ourselves, screaming and laughing our asses off till the receptionist along with a couple of security guards knocked on our door. They'd received some complaints about us from other guests. OOOopps...

Oct 3rd (Mon):
Our first stop was to Modern Montessori, a pre-school with a very hands-on teaching method. The kids there were really cute........and rich too.

Next, we went to Metropolitan Mall....shopping!!! I bought a pair of Levi's jeans and a United Colours of Benetton T-shirt. The customer service was really good, nothing like Singapore's.

Later, we visited the Management Development Institute, a post-graduate school that has a beautiful campus. Their campus really epitomizes what a campus should be__vast open spaces with lush green fields (used as golf course), cozy feeling dormitories (the red bricks they used in the architecture is probably the main factor for the coziness).

Our last stop was to the Basant Lok Shopping Centre. I bought Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and Harry Potter and the Half-blood Prince, and a pair of earrings. May wanted to get the coke bottle (the vintage glass bottle) but the seller wanted the bottle back after we consumed the beverage. It was mis-communication after mis-communication till we gave up and left without any coke bottles.

We went to Chopsticks Restaurant for dinner. There were raving reviews of the restaurant which were framed and hanged along the staircase to show off to the customers, but in all honesty, the food they served didn't do justice to the reviews. Coz' the food sucked!! But, we sat at the same table as Na Na, Cynthia, Herry, Lee Min and Cynthia, so the company was great!! And that was all it mattered....

At the hotel, we crashed at Herry's room and played "Squeeze!" Then we gossiped about Kua du gui. Oh, what fun!! By that time, we had officially formed the "Scream Club", i.e., Na Na, Cynthia, Eden, Wan Wan, Ming Hui, May, Herry and I.

Oct 4th (Tue):
After having breakfast with the High Commissioner, we left for Jaipur. It was a looong 6 hrs ride, most of which we either slept through or entertained ourselves playing poker. I learnt how to play "Tai Ti".

Once we reached Jaipur, we went to the local jewellers. For some reason, all the staff there were particularly interested in me. They were all checking me out and oogling. *rolls eyes* Anyway, a ring with my birthstone; blue topaz, caught my eye and I knew I'd to have it. The selling price was 1650 rupees but using my smile and coaxing, I managed to bargain it to 700 rupees. Yipeee! My charm definitely worked on them, eh?....heh heh...*grin*

Later, we stopped over at the textile place. They demonstrated how carpets were made and explained the genuity of their carpets. Then, the promoter pitched his products, gesturing to his subordinates to roll out the carpets.....it reminded me of Aladdin watching them flaunt their carpets. After listening to his fruitless pitch (the carpets cost an arm and a leg), we proceeded to the textile part. There, I was clapped on to try on a sari for the whole group to see. *ahem* (reluctantly?) I was thrown into the spot-light again. After the promoter helped secure the sari around me, I was asked to pose for the cameras by my ever-enthusiastic tour group. For a fleeting moment I felt like a star. *shrugs* can't blame me for it, anyone would've felt the same. As expected, I received lots of compliments from the staff, where one even said I looked 101% like Indian with that sari. Gee, thanks man, but I wouldn't buy your sari even if I turned into a genuine Indian gal coz' your sari's too blimey expensive, I thought to myself. To my irritation, I had a trail of staff-guys following me, trying to convince me to buy their stuff or waiting for me to talk to them. *sigh* Hellooo.......I wouldn't buy your over-priced stuff when I'm only gonna wear it once.

Checked in to the Holiday Inn hotel (3 stars) and had a buffet dinner. The Scream Club crashed at my room where we shared ghost stories. *shivers* We (the gals) were scared out of our wits, especially since the hotel's corridors were dark and eerie. So, Na Na and Cynthia slept over at our room. *phew* or else I wouldn't be able to sleep soundly that night.

Oct 5th (Wed):
We started off for Amer Fort, then took a jeep ride to get to the fort which was situated at the top of a mountain. It felt adventurous riding that jeep. When we reached the top, the view was fascinating. It literally took my breath away. I can't even describe it in words, you have to see it for yourself. Coz' no words could justify its beauty. The local tour guide did a good job explaining the history of the palace and the works. Oh, and get this, the King had 12 wives and Unuks advised him on which wife he should "visit" based on her ovulation (so there's a possibility of conceiving a baby). And, the King used one of the secret passages to "visit" one of the wives while the rest of his wives are left in the dark about his whereabouts. Sneaky.........

We went to the City Palace which has been made into a Museum in modern day and the Observatory. It was boring and tiring.

In the Afternoon, we made a stop at Choki Dhani ( a bazaar) for some shopping. We got cheated by a shoe-seller, bloody arse-hole. It was a very bad experience which deprived me of any appetite for further shopping.

After that frustrating shopping trip, we went to a "village" where the gals from Scream club had our henna done.

By the time we returned to our hotel, we were too tired and dejected from being conned to crash at anyone's room. :-(

Oct 6th (Thurs):
Started off the day with a 5hrs journey to Agra. Proceeded to Taj Mahal after lunch. They had really tight security there. But one look at the Taj Mahal, and you forgot all the troubles and could only stare in awe at the magnificent monument. Ok, but in all honesty, it was majestic from the outside but dark and dingy on the inside. They didn't have electricity back then when the King built the Taj Mahal, so there were no light fixtures. I could make out shadows of the 2 tombs, belonging to the King and the Queen, underground. But, that was all. The crowd of tourists inside the monument was too distracting to get any feelings or vibe from one of the seven wonders of the World. Furthermore, my new Indian shoes (yes, the ones that I was cheated with) was killing my feet. I dropped my camera on the hard marble of Taj Mahal which resulted in broken lens-cover. Thankfully, my camera was still working. Boy, what a terrific souvenir from Taj Mahal, a broken camera. *mirthless laughter*

No room-crashing again. :-(

Oct 7th (Fri):
We went to yet another mosque and yet another 2 more forts : Agra fort and Fatehpur Sikri. If you guys are thinking that I don't sound very enthusiastic about it, you're right on man. I was getting tired of visiting fort after fort. Blame my ignorance, but I thought their architecture looked very similar. Oh, and at the mosque, I was forced to wrap a sarong around my exposed legs. hahahah.....*blush

Went to some bazaar after that. Had my eyebrows threaded. It cost only 10 rupees, which is like cents if converted to Singapore currency.

Returned to hotel where we had dinner wearing home-clothes. Got a few stares from people coz' our attire were way too casual. Who cares. After the buffet dinner, we went for a rick-shaw ride. It was damn nice to have the wind blowing in my hair. Back at the hotel, we played "where's my 10cent coin?" and "ho-ho-ho" game at Na Na and Cynthia's room. It was hilarious.

Oct 8th (Sat):
After a 5hrs drive back to Delhi, we made a visit to the South extension of Delhi where we did some window-shopping at the high-end malls. I noticed that there were more beautiful people at the south-side than at central Delhi. Later, we went to another small bazaar where I bought 2 books: Dan Brown and J.D Salinger.

We had dinner at "Lazeez Affaire", where they served us Chinese cuisine. I must say, it was much better than that bogus restaurant "Chopsticks". I had a blast at dinner-time. I sat with the guys coz' there weren't enough chairs and tables to sit the 8 of us from Scream Club. So, I was the only girl at the guys' table. Hmm....should I continue? LOL. Ok, well, I'll just summarize what happened at the table. Somehow, the guys started teasing Herry and me. And, they continued till we returned to Singapore and touched down at Changi Airport. *coquettish giggle*

Anyway, after that very interesting dinner, we went to the light and sound show at Red Fort. My attention waned after the first part of the show, and I kinda dozed off...hey, so did a couple of people!

Oct 9th (Sun):
After breakfast, we went shopping for Indian traditional sweets at Bengali Sweet Shoppe. Later, we went to Delhi Haat. It's a one-stop shopping paradise for tourists, with a tribal-like ambience. The food was really cheap and nice. What more can one ask for, huh.

In the afternoon, we proceeded to Sarojini Nagar market. It was my last day in India and I was trying to finish up my rupees so, I bought quite a number of earrings and bags. I had to buy singlets for my dad and it was really funny, coz' we (Herry accompanied me) were directed to a shop that had bras in the display window. So, Herry went like "We're looking for singlets, men don't wear bra." LMAO!! I had a hard time deciding which was the right size for my dad coz' their sizes were different. It was damn fun though.

We had dinner at Sahara Restaurant, where we were entertained by folk dances. It was a perfect farewell dinner, if only they had a dance floor for the patrons. Hee hee....

Oct 10th (Mon):
We checked in at Delhi International Airport at about 9pm. We had an emotional send-off by Beena and Raj. Raj even wrote a poem for us. Awwwww......*sob* Emotions were at their peak but no one shed a tear. It was quite clear that everyone was hoping they could extend the trip and just cling on. At least, I felt it that way and more.

I and the gals were the last to board the plane. Coincidently, Ming Hui's seat was beside me again, but this time, he switched with Herry, much to Herry's delight, coz' he didn't wanna sit in the same row as 'Germz'. Had a nice but melancholic flight.

Arrived in Singapore and my first words were "back to the BORING island." Herry helped me get a 2nd set of liquor for Dad, using his passport and boarding pass. At the duty free shop, 'Germz' really got on my nerves with her bossiness. I was this close--> to cursing. Gosh, get a life, girl.

Do I still need to conclude after writing this long entry? It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that I had the time of my life! I've said it, and I'm saying it again...though I'm physically back in Singapore, I'm emotionally and mentally still in India. Memories burn deep in my heart and soul. Scream Club: Na Na, Cynthia, May, Eden, Wan Wan, Ming Hui and Herry.......I miss you guys and love you loads!! I misssssssssss YOU!!! *muacks* *muacks*

Bollywood, here I come.....!!

2005-09-30T22:49:00.000+08:00

Well, not exactly Bollywood...more like North India. Ha ha, yup.....I'm going on an 'Educational Tour to India' this Sunday. Weee! I'm really looking forward to Taj Mahal! Hmmm.....I think I'll compile a "To Do List" and a "Shopping List"..........

To Do List:

Shopping List:

Ma Laing Kay (that's milk candy (India's traditional dessert)
Accessories
Ethnic clothes (the 'In' thing)
Crotchet tops (preferably off-shoulder)

Souvenirs!!
Singlets and Longyi for Dad
Silver cutlery for Mom

Oh man....as expected, this list is getting longer and longer. Will stop here for now.

Drama Queen!

2005-09-27T00:49:00.000+08:00

(me, Linus, and Yus) Awww, so cozy........

That's a pic I took with my frenz from drama class, where we had to do our production. I was "God", Yus was "Retep" aka Ms Devil. The guy in the centre is the director of another group (psst, don't you think he has a cute-unique look? hee hee). Linus reminds me of "The Beatles", coz' of his hair-style probably, which he carries off pretty well, in fact it suits him! That's hot (Paris Hilton's imitation). Anyway, doesn't that pic look really cozy? ha ha ha....I felt the coziness while we were posing for the pic. Mmmm-hmmm...better stop here before somebody gets egoistic.

Well, the production itself kinda sucked.....all of us weren't giving our 100%. But, I had a hell load of fun fooling around with my frenz, snapping photos and all. Speaking of which, here're more pics..........

Love (or lust?) at first sight.......

2005-09-06T22:39:00.000+08:00

What is love at first sight? Before that...what is love in the first place? Is it all about making compromises? Can it ever be the all-cosuming-can't-live-without-each-other love that I crave for? Would I ever be swept off my feet? Or do those things only happen in fairy tales? All these questions re-appeared in my mind after I read the article on love at first sight in the Sunday Times. The question is how does one differentiate love at first sight from lust at first sight?
Ok, we all know that every girl's stereotypical description of her dream guy is tall, dark and handsome__I'm no exception. So, take for instance, she sees a guy who fits that description walking in the opposite direction on the street, she takes a sharp intake of breath and inevitably, their eyes meet for the seconds it took to walk pass each other. Not surprisingly, there is a current the moment their eyes met......but as strangers would, they continue their own way, thinking nothing of those brief seconds. Now, is it justifiable to classify it under love at first sight? It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that it's more aptly classified under lust at first sight. The possibility of going any further from that intense moment happens only in the movies, unless you meet that guy/girl at a friend's party or dinner. Then it's up to you to make history. But the point is, love at first sight is equivalent to lust at first sight.
You gotta admit that there has to be a physical attraction between the parties in order to have chemistry. That physical attraction is none other than sex appeal (if you're shocked at what I just said, then I suggest you grow up). And that sex appeal is the epitome of "dark", in the description 'tall, dark and handsome'. Guys often confuse 'dark' with the skin tone. I realize what it really meant after I watched E! Entertainment. The host was saying something like "the tall, dark and handsome guys like George Clooney, bla bla.......all have sex appeal". And I went like "OH! So, that's what 'dark' means" *grins*
Hmm.....so do I believe in love at first sight? Maybe, maybe not. So far, I haven't experienced it, but I'm still too young to give up hope on it. Conclusion: when it's love at first sight for BOTH parties, you've found your soulmate! Wait....do I still need to stress on the word "BOTH"?

High-end living......

2005-09-03T23:14:00.000+08:00

Dad, mom and I went to Suntec City today. It's the first time in a long time since we went out as a family. My dad went out of the way to make everyone (especially my mom) happy___we were chauffeured to and from Suntec via taxi!!! haha....
I bought the Samsung mp3 (tag-line: wear your music). It's pretty neat....has SRS (surround sound).....which makes it really unique from the other mp3s, even iPOD. I checked out Creative, Samsung, and iPOD before making my decision. As expected, Creative's design sucks. So, anyway....I spent $269 on that mp3. *sob* LOL.....I feel great though!! Oh, then while I was waiting for my "Lucky Draw", there was an emcee at the Samsung booth who was recruiting people to participate in a game. So, he dragged me in__upon seeing that I was waiting for something. So, I was like "*shrug*....ok". The game was to say a word starting with the last alphabet from the previous word said. There were 7 contestants. If someone takes more than 3sec to come up with a word or repeated the same word twice, he's eliminated. I used words like "erode" and "erotic" (yes, the emcee gave me a bemused look to which I retorted with eyes that said 'you got a problem?' LOL). Coz' of the sophisticated words I used, compared to other contestants ( who were middle-aged).....the emcee called me "Ms Chim". I think you can guess who won.....of course, it's yours' truly. Hahaha.....My opponent congratulated me and complimented that I was good and fast. Even a Caucasian man (a hanger-on who was watching the game) came forward and said "well-done!! You're really good!!!" I was beaming and doing little cheerleader shouts (*rolls eyes*...no comments). Oh, I walked away with the prize of 3 CDs (by unfamiliar artists) and speakers. But it was great.....you know how I like being the centre of attention. Hee hee....boosted my ego too!!
After all the hype at Comex and digging out at the World Food Fair, we went to Carrefour. Guess how much we spent there? We spent like $110 at Carrefour alone! *jaws-dropped*
Damn good retail therapy.

P.S. I have to admit, the emcee from Samsung was really good (both his voice and looks). *giggles*

Hail the VIP.........

-'Right Here Waiting' Richard Marx

Oh no....I haven't been updating my blog lately. I've got so much to share, but just never could find the time. Been kinda busy with projects, report writing and what not. Hey, at least I'm making an effort to make up for lost times.
I went to the Central Lending Library today (the new one) with Mao, and the building is very high-tech. The architecture is sophisticated but mechnical. I mean it's not very inspirational, I felt like it was just another sky-scraper (only more new, compared to others). The scenery was boring; the horizon was congested with apartment blocks clustered together. It was nothing compared to the scenery in Myanmar. Although one will see dilapidated houses or signs of poverty, the view is still breath-taking. Especially at night, when the "Shwe Da Gone Pagoda" would give a golden glow from the spotlights focused on it. It's such a prominent trademark and you can't help but be mesmirised by it.......and you'll somehow feel an inner peace. That's how I feel anyway. Ok, back to the present. I thought the Church opposite the library has a better architectural design. It looks archaic and has details which is a rarity in this mechanical Island. Just coz' this is an high-tech and developed country, why does it have to lose the colonial charm. Hmmm....maybe this little island doesn't have any in the first place.
I should be talking about my dinner with Mao, Germaine and Kenny. Germaine's a really nice girl. She was telling us about her brush with some "ugly"(personality wise) woman who dropped her stack of newspapers while crossing the road. But when Germaine picked them up for her, she just walked off like it wasn't hers. What a biatch. I mean, even if she was embarrassed by her clumsiness, she should've hid her pride and thanked Germaine. Or maybe that woman was trying to throw the newspapers away (littering) without being noticed. Hey woman, have a little consideration. Kenny is still the same. Oh, he wanna be a male chauvinist pig....ha ha. *rolls eyes* Well, the dinner was really nice__needless to say__thanks to Mao again.
That wraps up my day.....hmmm....think I'm forgetting a little detail here.....uh-huh *snaps fingers*.....I saw Mr Goh Cheok Tong at the library today. (I'm intentionally making it a minor thing here coz' they made it a big deal at the library__can't blame them too, I guess)

Strange....

2005-08-27T21:53:00.000+08:00

You'll probably think this is weird, I still think it is. This afternoon, I was sitting in the living room, trying to study Statistics when out of the blue, a ring dropped into my lap! It's made of thin steel and the size is big. I couldn't wear it. It doesn't have any details on it....just very plain. But the weird thing is, it dropped from the bare ceiling (note the word "bare"). *whimsical smile*
I told my dad about it and he just joked that it's probably from a fairy God mother. Ha ha, Dad. But he looked up at the ceiling to see if it has fallen from any object but of course the ceiling is bare. Then, he said to keep it as a lucky charm...seriously. He joked that maybe it's Cinderella looking for Prince Charming....I had to remind him that it dropped in my lap, not his. So it should be the other way round. LOL

Anyway, I was kinda hesitant to get my father's consent to participate in the MMSP, coz' he has an aversion towards me taking up modeling (he turned down all the offers I received from modeling agencies, both in Singapore and Myanmar). But surprisingly, he agreed to MMSP!!! YAY!!! I know the reason for his permission is coz' it's organized by the school...so he's reassured that I won't be taken advantage of. Thanks Dad!!! You're the best!!!

*muacks*

Relaunch of Sports Complex

2005-08-25T23:14:00.000+08:00

Me, Jeremy Ratnam(power98 DJ) and Timothy

This was my first Compere duty where I hosted an event with a professional DJ....and man, he was good!!! His voice...well, I dun think I've to describe that in detail coz' he's a radio DJ afterall....so what else can you expect, right? Anyway, while I was on my way to the Sports Complex, I was stopped by the SPSU members who asked me if I heard about this MMSP. My alter ego was like "duh"....I just smiled and listened to their selling. Then this Malay guy squealed "You look NICE!!!". That was real cute. haha....But I got my application form from them (I just wrote my name and contact without taking the form on Mon). MMSP.....here I come!!!!!

Here comes the list.....

2005-08-22T02:03:00.000+08:00

alright, alright.....so much so for the talk on 'Ideal husband'. Here's my version.....

Ideal Husband

must be deeply, truly and madly in love with me.
faithful; sincere; caring
willing to stand by me through ups and downs
understanding (if he fulfils the very first point, all the following 3 points should come in that package; it's understood, ain't it? ;-P )
intellectual (I'd love to have a friendly debate on current issues over breakfast or dinner)
witty (laughter is the best medicine)
confident (he shouldn't feel insecure of my feelings for him)
has the X-factor
reasonably handsome (I know, 'reasonably' is a subjective term...*sticks tongue out*)

Hmm.....of course, if he manages to take my hand in marriage, it means he has captured my heart. How does that work? Here's how......

I've a fetish for.......

eyes with so much depth that one can get lost in them just by staring into those pretty eyes(very important, coz' they're the windows of our soul)
genuinely gorgeous smile

What melts my heart.....

playing the guitar and singing a self-composed (well....not necessarily) love song to me (----on the beach.....DUH!)
surprising me with sweet gestures (for instance and this's from personal experience: this guy removed the fish meat from its bones so that I can eat the dish without the risk of swallowing a fish bone.); but his split personality spoilt my impression of him.....*shrugs*

LOL! I bet there's not a single guy who can fulfill everything in the criteria.....does anyone dare prove me wrong? hahaa. And that's perfectly fine with me. Coz' it'll be tooo good to be true. On a more serious note.....there has to be chemistry between 2 people for any relationships to work out. So chemistry's a must. *grins*

Ok, that's it for the criteria and what not. These things can't be written in black and white. When it happens and you know this is it.....then it's magic! I don't live by any formulae.

*muacks*

Whimsical.....

2005-08-18T10:55:00.000+08:00

Yesterday, after my rehearsal for the Sports event on the 24th of Aug, I went to the Comperes' training where they were having a get-to-know session with the year 1s' Comperes. So, that was the main reason why I dropped in to the training__I wanted to check out the new batch (though they're not officially in the Comperes' yet). I'm glad I popped in.......hee hee.....
When I got there, they were in the middle of some story-sharing or something. Anyhow, after my brief introduction and blah blah, the girl resumed with her topic and I realized it was about her 'Ideal husband'. I was kinda bemused coz' it's usually the 'ideal guy' or 'dream guy'...and now 'husband'? Hmmm.......*raises eyebrows* She looked like she was enjoying the whole thing.
She wasn't the only one who talked about the 'Ideal husband'. Her friend talked about it too and the way she described him was hilarious. I gotta share something she said.......Quote-"He mustn't be too hard or soft"-unquote. Everyone(including the 2 teachers) was in stitches!!! Of course, she explained that what she meant was his body. But.....we were delirious beyond redemption.
One of the teachers commented that gals nowadays are already thinking about marriage....to which I was rolling my eyes. A couple of the seniors said 'tis the season for love.....which got them a sarcastic look from me. I mean c'mon.....what's with all the cheesy stuff? *cringes*
But on a more serious note....those 3 gals(the 2 'Ideal husband' gals and their friend who's a heavy-metal fan....but dun look like one at all; appearance is deceiving) are really nice!!! They'll definitely make the club livelier if they're officially members....hope they will be. We instantly built a rapport with each other. They sooo remind me of my frenz back in DSY.

p.s. I was thinking of writing a check list for my 'Ideal husband', but what the heck! He can wait for another 10 years or so. Haha.....but I'll probably compile 1 soon .....just for the fun of it.

*yawn*.......

Star spangled night.....

2005-08-15T23:37:00.000+08:00

Last night was BEAUTIFUL!!! We went to watch the fireworks display at Esplanade. We found a really good spot (thanks to Mao) and plopped ourselves down on the dewy grass, where the seeds (which Mao thought looked like grapes) of some kinda fruit__ from the tree we were sitting under__were scattered. We were like 45min early, but we used the time to talk about stuff. Hah, I was actually laughing most of the time and listening.
Then we saw 3 persons having a mini cocktail party, complete with wine glasses and champange(I'm guessing) . It sorta reminded me of the Heineken beer commercial. Let me digress here for a bit. But whenever I see the commercial, I'll tell myself not to drink the Heineken beer(not that I drink alcohol) on my wedding night. I mean, imagine you're just about to have some quiet time with your new spouse after giving a physically-draining wedding reception. Then as you clink the wine glasses with your spouse and prepare to take a sip of the Heineken beer (no doubt), there's a knock on the door with a group of people standing there holding Heineken beer bottles, ready for another party. Are we supposed to humour the commercial? Geez....there's only so much parties one can take.
Ok, where was I? Oh yes.....we could see the Carnival @ Marina from where we were sitting. Man, it looked and sounded very happening. Hmmm....of course, that means that the place would've been packed with sweaty people shoving their way around. No, thanks. I wouldn't trade that with the location we were at.
When 'the moment we'd all been waiting for' arrived, everyone there was like "Ooo....Aaaaa....Wow....Cool...". Yes, I was one of them. *sticks tongue out*. My favourite part was the finale. The fireworks burst in the sky and dropped like showers of rain. It was raining stars. It was almost in the literal sense. I felt like the whole galaxy has exploded into spangles that rained down from the heavens. WOW indeed........
So, last night was beautiful in every sense. *BIG smile* *wink*

Mao-- You've a great smile!! So keep smiling!!!

Looking back....

2005-08-09T23:37:00.000+08:00

Oh man....there's not a day that passes by that I didn't think of my frenz back in Yangon. So much so that it freaks me out sometimes. Today is no exception. I was even wondering if I've become obsessed with the memories. So, I was browsing through my "Friends" list in Friendster, checking out my DSY buddies and whoever I know from that school. I was relieved to find that the testimonials written in their accounts by those peepz who had attended DSY has a sense of nostalgia. So I'm not alone.
What makes DSY so unforgettable? The people that made up DSY....the crowd. This includes the teachers too, no doubt.
I definitely know why I'm so attached to that school, why the reminiscence of those school days are etched deep in my heart, mind and soul. Those 3 years I spent in Yangon allowed me to get in touch with myself. It helped me to find myself. And that.....that was very momentous and still is.
I met many different kinds of people, most of whom are just terrific ( of course, those would be my buddies). Each and everyone I met, played a role___no matter how big or small___in my life. They made a difference.

To all my frenz from DSY: Sweeties, I dunno where I'd be without you guys. Thanks for all the lovely memories!! I miss you LOTS!! I love you all!!!

To my teachers in DSY: You all ROCK!! Oh, Tr. Daisy....I miss your LIT lessons.

To DSY: All this wouldn't have happened if not for you.

*Hugs*
I'd give anything to turn back time and relive those days again, again and again.

Launch of blog.....

2005-08-06T00:26:00.000+08:00

Al'right guys, this is the official launch of my online diary. You'll probably notice from my previous posts that I didn't really update my blog that often. But, this launch is something like my motivation to do otherwise. You see, last time, only a couple of my frenz know that I've a blog. So, I didn't bother writing in it regularly....just left it to idle. Now, I'm letting more frenz take a peek into what's behind the closed doors of my life. Trying to open up a little here.

The poems I penned down run really deep with me. Coz' they're the key that opens the door to my whole being. Hmmm.....that sentence rhymed. Lol.

Well, enjoy!! Oh, and when I said I'll update my blog more often....I don't mean on a daily basis. *wink*

P.S. remember to leave your comments and drop a line in the 'shout-box'.

Reflection...

2005-08-05T11:21:00.000+08:00

You stare back at me,
Eyes reflecting the sorrow beneath.
The dusky irises speaking volumes
Of an unwritten history.

The broken smile on your face
Is just another part of the whole facade.
Another layer of cover-up
To conceal the chaos
That's overriden your life.

Acting has become your soul;
The World___ your stage.
You played the role of Ms Perfect
Like a second skin.
You've had your audience stumped
With your parade of happy days.

No one knows you're bleeding inside.
No one except me.

Uncertainty.....

2005-08-01T14:12:00.000+08:00

Is that your hand reaching out for me?
I wondered.
Surely, you're just another illusion,
I faltered.
For I've extended my hand
In return.
Waiting to be catched.
Only to find myself falling...
Into an abysmal of misery.

Dreamy......

2005-07-01T22:33:00.000+08:00

I watched "The Prince and Me" DVD today. It was the ultimate fairy tale. It made me believe in true love again. It made me believe that chemistry is not just limited to the classroom; chemistry can happen to two people destined to be together. Ok, I know all this might sound passe to u, but there has to be a possibility to all the wonderful romance and that undeniable magnetism you feel towards the person u love. Ummm......Don't get me wrong here, I'm not in love right now. No, that's not the reason why I'm talking like a soppy character from a teen soap opera. It's just the optimistic side of me coming out again. *does a happy dance*
Oh, and today's drama class was great!! Everyone who's supposed to be there was there___*wink* We acted out a scene in a courtroom and I kinda took on the character of the lawyer from "Legally Blonde" (I forgot the name). Simone seemed to enjoy it (esp the twist ending) .
I'm just glowing with euphoria right now. Being in touch with my dramatic side or rather the actress in me (not that I ever lost touch with it..hee). And having realized that I'm a hopeless romantic ( is that a bad thing?). Oh, who cares! All I know is that I'm gonna wait for my Prince to come and he will.................one day. *goes into a day-dream*

All about attitude.....

2005-06-16T21:48:00.000+08:00

Man, I'm so inconsistent with my blog. Anyway, just thought today's event is worth jotting down. Went out with Dani to catch the movie "Mr and Mrs Smith" after school. I had a fabulous time. I mean, the movie was awesome, the company was great......what more could one ask for. Hmmm......maybe much-less salty nachos....hee!
The aftermath feeling of the movie was so indescribably cool. This'll probably sound crazy, but I was walking out of that cinema with a whole new attitude___a butt-kicking attitude. Must be from the influence of the ever sexy Angelina Jolie. Gosh! I think I'm gonna be addicted to this attitude thing. Well, for all I care, I want that kinda attitude. *sticks out tongue*
People point fingers at other people saying they have an attitude-problem. I think their opinions are justified only if that so-called attitude-problem person uses his/her attitude in a hurtful way. Like say, that person has a huge ego or likes to flaunt what he doesn't have. (Hey, it's nothing naughty, yeah......I'm talking about the personality here) *wags a finger reprovingly* Otherwise, I don't think it's a big issue.
Right, so much so for attitude-talk.......lol.........think I'll call it a night.
Love ya, Dani!!! We should do this more often.

Retail therapy

2005-05-19T22:46:00.000+08:00

It's a girls day out today. I went out with Mann and we initially planned to catch a flick but got carried away window-shopping. LOL. Well what else do u expect when two girls get together and hit the town. Retail therapy always work for me. I found a new fren in Mann....I mean, we're closer now that we're in the same boat (sorta). We've gotten to know each other better. I can't help thinking that this might've never been possible if not for the break-up. So, maybe there is a silver lining in every cloud. Hmmm........

Surprise...surprise....

2005-04-09T13:07:00.000+08:00

I'm surprised at myself. I thought I'll never blog...... I thought I could only become emotionally attached with the traditional diary ( not that I ever use it...only once in a blue moon). But it's definitely good to try new stuff....just to see what the buzz is all about. Who knows.......sth good might come out of this ( yeah rrright) *rolls eyes*.
Oh yeah, I haven't introduced myself to my digital confidante yet........haha...I'm just a girl who's living in a twisted world, riding the rollar coaster of life at full speed and still trying to find myself. So.....welcome to my life.
