jw: thanks jw :)! ya will take rmb your advice.

wuzun: aiyar, dude can apply for both males and females laar. ok sorry, i'll refer to you as 'it' ok? hahaha :). ok jk. thanks dearie :).

anony: ok point taken. but just to clarify, i'm not looking down on njc. precisely because i don't think we are lousy, that's why i get so upset about the different treatment we get because of our name. i'm not ashamed to be an njcian. on the contrary, no matter how much i joke about my school, i'm proud to be one. but yea, thanks anyway for the comment. good to be happy with what you have :).

k: yar la yar la.. you are the nicest hc person around ok... hahahaha. hope work's alright :).

idiot: loL! thanks for protecting the sanctity of my tag board. i appreciate it :). and aiyar, life's as fulfilling as we want it to be!

eric: whoa you spammer. i've always doubt the quality of the malaysian's network. ok jk hee :). and aiyar upset for what, of course i wont call to talk to u what. it's expected that i made used of u to talk to nuans. ok jk hehehe :). i prefer medicine still, after asking myself properly. we'll see ya? but i've already accepted SMU biz. and yar those are nonya clothes. gee thanks for the compliment! *BLUSH* waahaahaaa ;p. you better dont say that i look ol... if not u die. hehh. how are u now anyway?

photos!!

yay ok some of my photos are up! updating and uploading now.. grrrr

http://pics.livejournal.com/linteoh/

uni update

woohoo!!

i can finally access my blog on my work com! how exciting.

think it was the blogskin that was causing me problems, for whatever reasons. this blogskin is temporary. don't like it too much.

anyway, let me update you on my uni stuff.

i've been rejected by NUS med, given my 2nd choice(biz). think i'm choosing SMU over NUS. afterall SMU's giving me a double degree. if i really do end up in biz, might as well have more degrees right?? hahaha.

at the same time, i'm waiting for the 3 unis that i've applied for in australia to reply me. just took my ISAT test (for monash and western aust) and well. i have no comments. it's been 6 months since i used my brain? wow. really rusty. can die. but aiyar. what the heck. i'm not sure if i need to take any test for adelaide. shall go check. oh for the record, i've been rejected by UNSW. apparently the reason for rejection is due to my previous academic results, which probably means my O's? well. i got 9points then. it just shows how competitive things are. who would have known that my history would have come back to haunt me. *shrugs*. kids out there still taking your O's or PSLE, please study VERY HARD. hahahahaha.

man. me, a business woman? wow. i can't imagine.

aiyar, my biggest angst is that i have to network and fight fight fight. i hate networking! and i'm a peace loving creature(hahaha). ok not that being a doctor is not full of fighting, but i think there's less of it? (ok many docs would have disagreed with my statement) ok and apparently being a doctor does not mean you have an iron rice bowl anymore. but how about porcelain? if all goes well, your rice bowl's good. make a mistake and it can break. but business? i think of a rice bowl made up of earth. if all's good, fine. but it's super vulnerable to environmental conditions. too hot, will crack. rain? will dissolve. cold? i don't know, something bad to fit my description i guess. hahahhaa.

anyway photos are on their way up. have been busy still, not much time to do what i want. OH WELL.

the news about the UNSW singapore campus closing down is really devastating.. and it even affects me indirectly. oh well. don't understand why is life like that. *shrugs*

passerby: ok i hope i didn't mention anything that offended you. but ya i know that there are rj people who didn't get into the course of their choice. it's just that sometimes you see so many rj people around and so few others (for eg. in med) that you wonder if there's any biasness involved? even just to get shortlisted. unless we people from other schools are really that lousy and of sub standard, that we cant be compared with rjc/hci etc on paper or in person. or maybe we are just being sour grapes. i hope you understand that we are just trying to understand why are we "not good enough" and may jump the gun at times in our frustration and anger. really sorry if any of us said anything offensive. cheers, and hope that you managed to get the course and uni of your choice, if you are also applying for unis now. :)

gil: thanks babe :). you too!!

xh: yar, soon soon, the photos will be up hahaha. and yes, JIA YOU!! i dont think i'd be appealing anyway for NUS med.

wuzun: hey thanks dude. but anyway it's in black and white now. AHAHAHAA. hey i cant stand it, who are u?? ahhaha

k: thanks dear :). oh, you doodle enough. too much. hahahahaha. but it's really cute la i admit :p.

bella: ok long overdue reply to your tag. hahaha! but i agree, crying is a good tool. but heard that it wont work if you use it too many times :p. so please, cry in moderation. hHAHA

tran: ok dont think you will read this. but AHH. so irritating. didnt get to see you. really hope our paths will cross again one day. saw your pic at veron's blog. wah, you damn hot la! getting hotter by the day. *GRRR* hahahaha. take care babe, and if i can't become a doc, i'll come and find you to treat me when i'm ill, alright? love you and take care :)

i am so tired.

Passage of Time / Circle of Trust / Work / Uni

Passage of Time

AHHH!! it's OVEEERR!!!

the musical i was doing (The Passage of Time) has finally ended! it was from last friday to sunday at jubilee hall, raffles hotel.

gosh i'm still on high. so happy that nuans, xinyi, shu and ade came. and glad that there were many positive comments about the play. very very happy :). the music and lines are still being played on repeatedly in my head! lalalaaaa :):):). oooh, and many people requested for us to restage it! that's the greatest compliment ever. tentatively it will be restaged from 7-9 december 2007! how exciting!

ok at first i was groaning at the thought of restaging it (angie, the bf pres, suggested that to us on the 2nd day of performance). but now that it's all over, i can't wait to do it once more!! i enjoyed myself so very much. the line reading, the 3-times-or-more practices a week, the crappy and funny moments with everyone, the frustrating full dress rehearsal, the frenzy in the backstage, the tiring but happy hotel stay... gosh. i want more!!

i took many MANY photos. think i'll upload all of it here. but i have like 100 over photos? think blogger will vomit html when i do that. ok. maybe i'll create another blog just for photos? or livejournal? errr. ok shall think about it :). cuz i don't wanna use yahoo photos or some image hosting site as so far all of them are less than satisfactory.

it was so fun. gosh. still basking in the glory and jubilation of the play. (and in celebration of the event, my pimples and eyebags have decided to pop out and beautify my face. sweet.)

shall blog more about the play later!

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Circle of Trust

went for Circle of Trust (COT) outing ytd after work. linghui couldn't make it, and tran was back in vietnam ploughing padi fields, so that leaves just me, veron, nuans, jiali, xiaohui, christine, and ruth.

went to sakae. despite having lack of rest, i still found it a pretty enjoyable experience. (in case you don't know, my mood can get really foul if i dont have enough sleep. that explains my perpetual pms.)

decided to leave earlier though at around 9pm. my bed beckons in a seductive tone! ok i don't know why am i adding such weird adjectives and it all doesn't really make sense but heck laaarr hahaha.

ok i will add in photos from the outing too :).


+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Work

ooh yea, even Work gets to be blogged about, and have a seperate title of its own! and it's no longer labled as "shit" or "crap" or "sucky". wheee :)!

recently, a new temp staff, kaori, has come and joined us! ok not that recent, she has been with us since like the beginning of this month. yar la i'm lag laarr. sorry kaori, if your reading this. you aren't important enough for me to blog about you immediately mah. HAHAHA. ok just kidding, JUST KIDDING :).

anyway she's really nice and funny. and finally work isn't such a chore! at least i've got a kah kee of my era(hahaha) with me here. and not forgetting the ridiculously heavy work load(depends on the time of the day of course) is lightened with her presence. hope she won't suffer too badly, especially when i'm gone, when she has to take on the job by herself. but her, if hui lin can do it for 1 month on her own, so can you :)!

ooohh, we (gil, kaori, and i) will be going for a stingray dinner soon! ok not THAT soon, but soon enough. maybe around 7 june. how exciting!!! i'll be sure to miss those 2 girls. these 2 girls make work life more bearable. and it'll be quite sad if gil's really leaving. no more "hello wello" and "saddie waddie". (yes, gil says these kind of things. it's highly addictive and gets stuck in your head, unfortunately). it's so weird. aiyar whatever laar. *does a whatever hand gesture*

ooh, i'll be unemployed soon!! at the end of this month! i'll be as free as a little birdie... *chirp chirp chirp* but no more income from the outside world. i'll become a leech and suck my parents dry of their moneeeeyyy. not good not good.

actually hor. i just realised that it's really weird that i'm complimenting gil and kaori on my blog, when they read them. it seems like i'm bootlicking right? but yet again, as they would claim that i'm right and that they really are such nice and adorable girls, they would say that i'm not sucking up to them and i'm just stating the facts. HAAHAA. ok now i'm really monologuing. *continues to talk to herself*


++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Uni

ok i've decided to add this last topic in.

in short, i'm very stressed about it now. i havent gotten anything from NUS, and i suspect they are just damn freaking biased. i was so stressed that i finally cried in the middle of orchard mrt ytd(with COT surrounding me, thank gawd). and ok lar didn't really CRY like sobsob, but tears just poured out of my eyes.

i hate it that the world is so elitist, and unfairness of it all. and i'm already considered part of the elite(when you compare me with the rest of singapore). however among the elite, njcians are like the bottom of the pool. aiyar everything's just so unfair lar. labels always seem to matter all the time. where you are from, what family you are from, which school you are from... people never take you as who you are.

yet again, how much time do people have to get to know another person? so labels become important, to place a finger on WHAT are you, even if it is inaccurate. it's to give us a false sense of security and confidence that we KNOW.

ok. it's time for work. hope everyone's doing well. tata :)!

funny emails

today i've gotten two funny emails! as i'm sucha kind girl, i shall share my joy and happiness with you all :):):)

Guys' Rules
At last a guy has taken the time to write this all down.
Finally, the guys' side of the story. (I must admit, it's pretty good.)
We always hear "the rules "From the female side.
Now here are the rules from the male side.
These are our rules!
Please note... these are all numbered "1" ON PURPOSE!


1. Men are NOT mind readers.

1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down.We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.

1. Sunday sports. It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides.Let it be.

1. Shopping is NOT a sport. And no, we are never going to think of it that way.

1. Crying is blackmail.

1. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one:Subtle hints do not work! Strong hints do not work!Obvious hints do not work! Just say it!

1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.

1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do.Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.

1. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a Problem. See a doctor.

1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument.In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 Days.

1. If you won't dress like the Victoria's Secret girls, don't Expect us to act like soap opera guys.

1. If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us.

1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of them makes you sad or angry, then we meant the other one

1. You can either ask us to do something Or tell us how you want it done.Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.

1. Whenever possible, Please say whatever you have to say during commercials.

1. Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we.

1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings.Peach, for example, is a fruit, not A color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.

1. If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that.

1. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," We will act like nothing's wrong.We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle, besides we know you will bring it up again later.

1. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, Expect an answer you don't want to hear.

1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine... Really.

1. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as baseball, the shotgun formation, or golf.

1. You have enough clothes.

1. You have too many shoes.

1. I am in shape. Round IS a shape!

1. Thank you for reading this. Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight;


But did you know men really don't mind that?
It's like camping.

Pass this to as many men as you can - to give them a laugh.
Pass this to as many women as you can - to give them a bigger laugh

Why I Fired My Secretary

Last week was my birthday
And I didn't feel very well
Waking up on that morning.

I went downstairs for breakfast
Hoping my wife would be pleasant and say, "Happy Birthday!", and
Possibly have a small present for me.

As it turned out,
She barely said good morning,
Let alone
" Happy Birthday."

I thought...
Well,
that's marriage for you,
But the kids....
They will remember.

My kids came bounding down stairs to breakfast and didn't say a word.
So when I left for the office,
I felt pretty low
And somewhat despondent.

As I walked into my office,
My secretary Jane said,
"Good Morning Boss,
And by the way
Happy Birthday ! "
It felt a little better
That at least someone had remembered.

I worked until one o'clock ,
When Jane knocked on my door
And said, "You know,
It's such a beautiful day outside,
And it is your Birthday,
What do you say we go out to lunch,
Just you and me."
I said, "Thanks, Jane,
that's the greatest thing
I've heard all day.
Let's go !"

We went to lunch.
But we didn't go
Where we normally would go.
She chose instead a quiet bistro
With a private table.
We had two martinis each
And I enjoyed the meal tremendously.

On the way back to the office,
Jane said, "You know,
It's such a beautiful day...
We don't need to go straight back to the office, Do We ?"

I responded,
"I guess not.
What do you have in mind ?"
She said,
"Let's drop by my apartment,
it's just around the corner."

After arriving at her apartment,
Jane turned to me and said,
" Boss, if you don't mind,
I'm going to step into the bedroom
For just a moment.
I'll be right back."

"Ok." I nervously replied.

She went into the bedroom and,
After a couple of minutes,
She came out
Carrying a huge birthday cake ...
Followed
By my wife,
My kids,
And dozens of my friends
And co-workers,
All singing "Happy Birthday".

And I just sat there...

On the couch...

Naked.

HAHAHAA. ok well I was amused. hope you are. wheeee :):):)!!

BOO

ok. an update. hahahaha. it's exactly 1am now!

ok i know many ppl are wondering why i havent been updating.. reason is because i've been busy with my rehearsals. out of 7 days this week, 5 days have been used for rehearsals. i'm burnt out. the actual performance is like, next friday? aw man. i'm not prepared. my costumes are more or less ok, but not the props. AHHH. not to mention i havent checked for everyone else yet when i'm supposed to be in charge of props and costumes(with big huiling).

at this moment i really wish that i aint working, so that i can concentrate on what i really like and want to do. and to do it WELL.

i'm so glad that i joined bf. there are so many amazing people around. talented, strong, kind, compassionate, loving. simply amazing.

ok tmr's a rest day, probably. if i choose to go home and rest that is.

anyway regarding medicine interviews, it went alright. heard rumours of results coming up this or next week. so yar! we'll see. hehhehheh.

ok i'm too tired to continue blogging. sorry for the lack of content, folks. and replies to tags will come later. i reached home at 1am ytd, and 12:15am today. and havent caught up on my sleep dept. ok, good night everyone. hope all's going well!! :)

AHH MED INTERVIEW

ok great. mad interview's tmr. get it? med=mad. HAW HAW HAW.


ok great. i'm going mad. hahahahahaaaa. too much SELF IMPOSED stress can be no good.


oh check out this article from SMJ (singapore medical journal) written by this guy who goes by the pen name "The Hobbit". it's super funny! it's not cheem, just really funny and quite full of bull.
http://news.sma.org.sg/3903/Hobbit.pdf

ok i'm doing a Last Minute Hug Buddha's Leg (ling shi bao fo jiao). going to MOH website... SMA website. and i havent thought through properly about why i wanna be a doctor and all those ffunny funny qns! AHHHH. and i'm ONLINE typing on my BLOG. siao ah.

Replies to tags:

selina: yar you call me so often that even your accent is sounds singlish!

bee: haha thanks. i was quite GRR at that moment. in need for inspirational quotes. hahaa

wuzun: aww thanks for showering me with love but it's ok really. lol. well as u can see i havent had my interview. had my SMU's interview and it sucked but i've gotten an offer from them so. well. *shrugs*. ahhaha. how bout u?

the REAL wuzun: sorry. i dont want you to shower me. HAHAHA.

jw: thanks! haha

mortal: well i answered you when i saw you online so er this reply is just to take up space. hehehe

xh: thanks dear!! sure hope i do well in it. gosh, i MUST GET IN. ok now i'm sounding kinda desperate hahaha. and all the best to you too :)!!

quotes (to be updated)

*edit: i just realised that the html code for the title of my entries are not included in my template! how irritating. ok too lazy to fix it for now. lalalalaaa**

anyway, here are some quotes that i found today. was feeling quite negative you see. so i needed quotes of specific genre to keep me going. hahahaha. i don't usually go for this genre, cause i'm usually happy enough to go for something more inspirational than something of conciliatory nature. only the last few are more inspirational.

ok, to me, this is considered conciliatory enough :p.

remember, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger! and guess what? i'm still alive! WOOHOO. i'm STRONGERRR *does a little wriggle of the ass*

without further ado, here are the quotes....

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

overdue

ok. this post is long overdue. hahahahaha.

a few reasons as to why i havent been blogging...
1) i'm too lazy. as usual.
2) i've too many things to do. if i pen everything down.. aiyar. might as well just shut up and do my stuff. more practical.
3) my blog cant be viewed at my work place. think there's something wrong with the template? hmm. and my template somehow does not motivate me to write.
4) i don't want certain people to see certain things on my blog. oh, how irritating!
5) i'm too lazy. wait a second, did i say that already?


heh heh. anyway my main motivation for blogging today... is because i'm feeling so stressed over my stupid NUS applications!!! ARGHHH. i'm like praying and waiting for stupid NUS to call to say that they have shortlisted me. if they have that is. AHHHHHH

:(.

other than that, my life's been happy happy happy :). oh. my eldest bro just left for australia yesterday. he's going to spend a year in bodhiyana(whatever the spelling), a buddhist monastary, to meditate. he ain't going to contact us for a full year, no calls, no internet. oh well. :/

and i'm acting in bf's vesak day's musical! woohoo. how exciting. it's going to be in jubilee hall, raffles hotel. on 18,19,20 may, 8:30pm. tix going at $10, $20, $50. anybody interested, let me know :). oh, and so my monday and thursday nights are gone by default, for rehearsals. heh heh heh...

life has been really exciting! and tiring. so tiring. i cant wait May to end. come june, i have my freedom! but he's leaving for a month :(. so well oh well. and my birthday month somemore! what a sweet dude huh.. hahaha.

OK. i wanna sleep. tmr's rehearsals again. sorry for the stagnant tag board, i obviously wasnt replying and just enjoying it. but really, the whole wu zun, Real wu zun and ella episodes were really entertaining :). i just wonder if u guys are all the same person. hahaha.


ok take care everyone :)!

testetesst

changing of blog skin

okie! i've decided to revamp my blog.

already saved the template but somehow blogger's damn slow. also slow in publishing my entries, for god-knows-why reasons. ok i'm sure people are not excluded from knowing why, but HUI LIN doesn't know why. yep!

kinda irritating. but OH WELL. till i'm in a better mood to blog~

okok u win

gaaaahh. ok as u can see i've avoided blogging for a while. not that i was really avoiding, but i was really lazy to update too.

ok. yea yea i shall officially announce that i'm attached. not that you guys havent realised, given my very obvious previous entry(which, for the record, wasn't meant to be obvious :P). i have, as you can see, failed terribly in my attempt in trying to be subtle. how embarrassing.

and sua, i told u because u alr asked in my tag board. and i didnt wanna reply thru my tag board mah, so i told u lar cuz u happened to talk to me! hahaha. nono, i'm not trying to be defensive! i'm just trying to clear up the foggy air. hehehehe.

okaaayy! life has been pretty good. i've been tired and sleepy cuz i have been sleeping late(what's new). i need to be more disciplined! SLEEP EARLY. grr.

my eldest bro's leaving soon for his 1 year meditation retreat in a monastery in australia. sigh. he's leaving on the 10th of april to be exact. :( will miss him. lalalala...~~

i need to go shopping DESPERATELY. for clothes, for shoes, for accessories. no need hair or face stuff though. ooo i finally got my atm card! woohoo! so exciting :)! shall spend my own money for now, learn to start proportioning my money.

haha just realised that my previous paragraph's pretty ironic.


**anyway i'm thinking of making my blog more private.. so will make it such that only invited people can view my blog. planning in progress!**


ok update later~~!

09/03/07

and so it happened.

*smiles* :)


it's going to be rocky and unpredictable, and i chose to go ahead. heart over mind i guess.

it's about time to put my past baggage down. yes.

support me, yea?

the release of A's

heyyo all earthlings :)! and univertians :)!

ok as u can see, i havent been updating because i'm simply lazy to do so. and i'm currently happy ranting to other earthlings, or ranting within my own head to my own very patient listening ear. sometimes, even ants are fine with me too!

but because i'm such a nice girl, i've decided to fulfill both veron's and jw's desires! ooo, i can make ur desires come true. HAHAHA.

ok so let's talk about A levels first. thanks for all of ur well wishes! i did unexpectedly well, super satisfied. i mean, how much better can i do? at the very most if i do better, i'd get an A2 for gp. that's about it. so yar. as happy as a lark. chirp chirp chirp. and i really don't know how i managed to get those kind of grades, i swear the old fogeys back in england need new pairs of glasses.

after basking in joy for 2 days, i was violently pulled back to ugly reality. i have to start thinking of my choices for uni and start preparing for all of my applications. oh that sucks. stress can be healthy, but more often than not it causes an increased chance of a heart attack.

other than schooling matters, i've been rather happy in my life. overall lar. felt really touched when u cabbed down to cheer me up! so yar hahaha. i'm going out tmr, whee :)!

going to smu & australia uni fair on saturday with parents, and then nus on sunday with meishan and tracy, tentatively. and then i'll get to see the bf ppl on sat night and sunday afternoon to night! yaaayy. fun fun :).

anyway, congrats to all who are happy with ur own results :)! to those who didn't do as well as u hope... don't give up yea? there is always a way out, and this i really believe in. jia you everyone :)!

(: driving and stuff

whee! i've attended my first 2 driving lessons ytd and today!

so funny. ytd i saw gaius, and that totally freaked me out. what happened was i was seated in the passenger's seat with my instructor in the driver's seat, and he was explaining to me certain basics of driving. there were 2 other cars near me (we were parked in this space. think all of us were having our first lesson). then halfway through the explanation of the rules, i notice the instructor and the student in the car on my left both got out of the car to switch places. the student looked really familier, and he was smiling to himself in a funny way(hahaha). then i realised... GAIUS! gosh. i started freaking out and becoming really excited. but i couldnt do anything! i couldnt shout(didn't want my instructor to think i'm nuts or get pissed off) or wave(he was facing away from me). wah lao, so i got distracted for about a minute. luckily my instructor didn't ask me qns then, if not sure die hahaha. later when i got to drive, things were fine. could concentrate. then at a junction, where me and the car facing me in the opposite direction had to stop, i realised that the driver was gaius, again! AHHH! so irritating. luckily later at the end of the whole lesson, when i was walking back to the centre, i saw him and managed to catch his attention. chatted with him a bit. what a funny experience :).


today when i went for driving, i met xiao ting :)! yay, got to meet so many friends. haha. anyway today's a good day! driving was good and fun. and the instructor praised me leh. he said that i got driving sense. YAY. hahahaha. (aiyar let me boast a bit can. must make myself feel good hahahahaha) so yep! happy happy :). probably will get to drive on the real road during my next lesson. how exciting! for your info, i've been driving in the circuit so far. lalala~~


oh today certain things made me a little bit upset. but aiyar, grow up lar hui lin. so yar. i'm fine already. hahahaha. and life's getting pretty interesting recently. at first i was super shocked and embarrassed.. but AIYAR, GROW UP LAR HUI LIN. so yes, as expected, i'm alright liao :)! but gosh, what a weird development. trying to come to terms with it still.

alex: hmm are u veron? haha! ok yar as u can see i'm suspicious of male names that i'm not acquainted with...

da xiang: oh, you havent seen me WITHOUT my hairband.. it's currently a permanant feature on my lovely head hehheh. yep, results are probably coming out then.

just the way you are

Don't go changing, to try and please me
You never let me down before
Don't imagine you're too familiar
And I don't see you anymore

I wouldn't leave you in times of trouble
We never could have come this far
I took the good times, I'll take the bad times
I'll take you just the way you are

Don't go trying some new fashion
Don't change the color of your hair
You always have my unspoken passion
Although I might not seem to care

I don't want clever conversation
I never want to work that hard
I just want someone that I can talk to
I want you just the way you are.

I need to know that you will always be
The same old someone that I knew
What will it take till you believe in me
The way that I believe in you.

I said I love you and that's forever
And this I promise from the heart
I could not love you any better
I love you just the way you are.

gosh. i love this song. it's so sweet and the way billy joel sings it just melts my heart.

anyway, i've finally caught up with Bleach during the cny hols. it's currently at ep 116 (just uploaded today on youtube). ahHH so exciting. i'm hooked all over again.

and veron, aiyo! hahaha. i think u look nice in there what. i like ur smile! so yar. what's wrong with it???! so fussy.. hahahaha :p.

dependence (edit)

i hate being dependent on another person.

just yesterday, i was trying to comfort her, telling her that emotional dependence is inevitable and it's natural. gosh, now i feel like i've just slapped myself across the face.

it's just so friggin irritating. to be waiting all the time. and to feel disturbed while waiting. because you simply just cannot concentrate. and you start speculating and speculating until the reply comes. and you get either very happy, or very sad. and you start speculating again, and not concentrating. you forgot what being rational means.

it sucks, really. i obviously have forgotten the sucky parts of this phase. hahaha. nvm, looks like a reminder was necessary, and has been issued.

[edit]

just an update, i spoke to hot mama ytd night, and i'm feeling so much better. and aiyar, she has a point. this is the most fun time, when you are put on an emotional rollercoaster. very exciting what. haha.

shall just live in the present moment :)! lalalaa

outings and stuff

hi everybaaarrrdddyyy :)! hope u guys have had a great new year!


hmmx, i'm currently too lazy to talk. so i shall let photos do the talking as a picture speaks a thousand words :p.




















ok. so here the thousand words begin hahahaha :p. well, on friday(the eve before new year's eve hahaha) i knocked off earlier from my work place, rmb? well, if you don't rmb, this shows that you aren't my die-hard fan and thus you ought to die! heh heh. it's in the previous entry, if i may so kindly point out.

anyway so this is the photo of veron in her venezia apron slacking. and that's me with my new haircut! wahahaha. don't we two look so happy? i tell you, it must have been the festive season dabbling our brains.

on tuesday, i went out with the bf youths to east coast! perry brought along his frens and sis too. ok amidst my insecurities, somehow things worked out. so yea. happy lar haha.




















in the photo above from right: soong teng, me, yi wei, wen jie, yue guang

ok, i have to sidetrack, isn't guang adorable?? ahhahaha. he has very nice smooth hair. patting his head is surprisingly thereupatic. the other day i was feeling quite down, but after patting his head... whoosh! back to my lala self. hahaha :). oh, he's sec 4 btw. heheh!


























(left to right)
front: jayson, perry(coconut), jenn
back: kori, me, soong teng, yi wei, wen jie, guang, yu lin, hui teng, boyboy(he's soong teng's and hui teng's bro. couldnt catch his real name.), jenn's bro(ok i forgot his name too, sorry!)



i really like hanging out with these people. it's so rare that you get such good vibes from people that you barely know. very nice people. i suspect if not for bf, i probably will feel that i'm totally wasting my time away, especially during these 8 months.


++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

equanimity. we are all keepers of our own karma. SIGH. oh wELL. heh heh heh.

you reap what you sow, hui lin. YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW!!


-ROAAAAAARRR!-


hahaha :)
