29 july

Posted on: July 30, 2008

yesterday i slept at THREEam which is very amazing yet weird. maybe its the coffee i had in the afternoon.

anyway yesterday was a damn happy day.
excitement brought to a whole new level in the family.(:(:(:
tuition kids were good.
jamesy little surprise for me. he went through all means to get something i wanted, and i was kept in the dark, thinking that it was not possible anymore. UNTIL yesterday night he actually brought me to my room, asked me to check my phone for a sweet lil sms he just sent me( followed by asking me to check beneath my blanket). dumbfounded when i saw it. hugs

baked my first pie yesterday.ham&scambledegg pie( it tastes more like quiche) with mozzarella cheese. very heng that the crust was successful.and then just now i baked some chewy brownie cookies. i think i am really enjoying time spent alone doing things.

and ANDDDD happy 21st birthday ruixin!

wheee.i am BACKKKK. first i have no idea how many kilos i have gained. i am feeling fearful to weigh myself.lol. second nothing really scary happened. the paranoid me was imagining alot of things as usual after hearing stories like ” oh.you know the motocylist will just grab your bag from you when you are walking along the roads.” and all the rumoured ghost stories from genting.hahaha.

we stayed in genting for merely a day but i would say it was v sufficient! my siblings and i were like little kids when we first saw the rides, feeling abit scared. i think the last time we had such rides was like when i was in P3 at the disneylands in USA.( that was also the time when i ballooned ALOT upon returning to singapore after junking on chickens everyday).

my mum is really v cute. she sat through some rides with us.i remembered v clearly during one of the rides when we were all set and ready to go, she said ” can i withdraw now.i want to withdraw already.”HAHAH.

we ate like nobody business. morning was a very sumptious breakfast buffet at our hotel, royale bintang. we would then have a heavy lunch, and then snack alot, followed by another heavy dinner! and supper.  just a mere day in genting i had these: bun, noodles at yongpeng, alot of choc waffers, kenny rogers macaroni with cheese and muffins, cup corn, sweet potato, chicken hor fun, candy floss, baskin robbins icecream and chips! its freaky.

my uncle was like our kl guide. he had been there before and brought us to eat all the yummy food. i am missing the food. the bak kut tea, the heavenly herbal soup and the gui ling gao which we had for three consecutive days in kl.

the shopping in kl is much better as what i have expected. i remembered quite clearly a few years back when i was there, people were wearing like trumpet pants.lol. now its like really much better. i didnt really buy much, just walked walked and see see. and the f21 is 3x the size of that in vivo! at least down here you can try the clothes. but not in bkk. i am starting to think its better than bkk except  that bkk has ctc market.

our hotel is like 5mins walking distance away from main shopping district so it was damn convenient. the whole trip was pure WALKING and walking. imagine after 6-7 hours of walking, we still walked 20mins to chinatown and 20mins back. it was damn torturous on my feet.

4days and three nights just passed by very fast. and it was a fun trip! too bad my sister and dad couldnt be here with us. another time! now left with one more week to school its just nua nua nua. i feel as thou i need alot of alone time to myself and am becoming damn lazy. time to get up and get moving!

this is the recipe as you all requested.(: credits goes to my mum.

okay.i am very much looking forward to my lil getaway,kl-genting tomorrow!

but i enjoyed it. (:

 

internship has officially ended….! the last day of work went off well. it was pretty slack, going to the storeroom to chop some stuff.hahah.

first the three interns( picture on upper right: eric( “san ba guy” as you all know), junming( i really admire him for going back to school very often after work! for his sports camp stuff. he is the chairman thou.  if its me i think i will die.) had pizza hut for lunch. we bought back some cakes for our colleagues and wrote a postcard for our supervisor.

now, 10 weeks of internship would have been so torturous without them. eric is really damn san ba. as what junming said,” he has verbal diarhoea”.hahaha! when hes not around, we will feel like it is so quiet. this internship has been “enriching” cause we got to know ALOT about him.lol. but well, he is really entertaining at times. while doing some work, we will just chat if we are free.(hes just sitting behind me).its a love hate friendship.cause he really love to SUAN me like siao, and irritate the hell out of me sometimes. 

junming has always been the one very busy at work. because hes doing on FOX!so we wont really get to talk alot unless during lunchbreak. hahah. i wont forget the times when he said” okay. tomorrow we shall go eat kway chap together…” and the next day,we will all change our mind totally.and he will be like ” i thought..” we are a group of fickleminded people. i always say this to junming,” why richard(our supervisor) speaks to you in ENGLISH, and me in chinese.?” do i look that cheena?.haha.

the upper left are the two girls in charge of Yoshinoya.i work with them and help them handle some stuff. they are so sweet cause they got me famous amos cookies.totally unexpected! they are very nice people and treat me really well. i will just go talk and chat with them when theres nothing for me to do! another lady from fox got us a eye massager each.make me feel very bad!grrrr. 

this internship has been quite fulfilling in the sense that i got to learn on other finance stuff like budgeting from richard whos quite a nice supervisor. maybe the best thing is that he gives us alot of vouchers. but somehow because of human nature, i feel as thou i MUST get something because its a bargain! so it could be bad in that sense.

that aside,now that internship has ended, its two weeks of freedom!YAY

dinner was of course spent with my dearest! i was like a super hungry soul yesterday.eating so much the entire day.

 

am i taking you for granted.

1.till today, i will feel soooooo disgusted whenever i think of /see these:

oyster omelette,  teriyaki chicken rice ( i am avoiding japfood totally now!), BUBBLE TEA. yes.

2. these days, i am starting to think i am taking so many things for granted. this and that.i expect certain things to be like that and come as if they should. gr!

3. relationships are so vulnerable.i read my friends blog.a two yr plus relationship cant withstand LD of five months.

3. I have alot of WANTS. i want this i want that. i want to eat dimsum again!

4. freedom for two weeks after friday(:
