feelin so tired. going to slp in a min. din study today. guilty, guilty, guilty.
attended ivan's wedding lunch today. e food wasn't too bad. e ambience was fantastic. e bride looks so lovely. i tink e chinese saying tat 'there's nv an ugly bride' is so true. e emcee's e best naturally la. haha... no la, i screwed-up. hope ivan dun hate me. 'thks for e ang pow hor, ivan!' anyways, 'na ren qian cai, ti ren siao zhai', i tried my best. i had memorized everything, but when i was up on e stage, everything seems to evaporate away. so had to read fr my cards. =S

ate sme mookcakes to satisfy my sudden cravin just now. so delicious. hee... lantern festival aka mooncake festival just rd e corner. seen a lot of kids walkin ard with lanterns n playin with candles. look so happy, warm n cozy. keke... i remember when i was in pri sch, when it was under e guidance of a fatherly figure, mr toh whom is a v traditional man, he wld organize a yrly lantern festival celebration where we n e family members can come together n wld eat mooncakes, guess lantern riddles, fancy dress competition, walkin ard e estate with lantern n such at nite. its so fun. we all can wear hme clothes to sch n i wld esp take effort to wear mei mei. i recall one of e yrs, i had bugged my dad to buy clothes for me so tat i can partipate e fancy dress competition as a princess. dun luffed, every ger's dream is to bcme a princess one ma. hehe... anyways, he did try to pacify me by buyin sme cloths n suggestin my 'er gu' sew them. but alas, its not tat easy la n i dun haf any talents to showcase during e competition so it was forgotten after awhile of outcry. when mrs ngiam, e vice-principal took over as principal cuz mr toh retired, she abolished e tradition. i still remember we had to learn how to sing 'old lang sung' as a farewell gift by e students to mr toh. during e farewell assembly, e teachers n older kids were cryin. i tink i did feel sad but still a bit blur n too young to comprehend wat's going on. wonder if mr toh still ard. hmmm... smething to discuss with my pri sch frens if we meet up. hee... ::~36~::

its showing 'meteor garden I' on ch 8 on saturdays fr 12pm to 2pm again. hee... i like. i tink e 1st series was really good. e 2nd series really sucks big time. e plot is so weak n e cast actin seems so strained by e pressure to make it a success tat it has quite an opposite effect. ~on e line with charmaine sme donkey yrs back when f4 were hot, hot, hot.~
me : wat r u doin?
char : watchin f4 concert. nw i keep rewindin n rewatch e scene with jerry yan singin. so cool leh. *sounds lovestruck*
me : huh? *digusted* ey, tats for kids n aunties leh. u like them ar? =s *turn-off*
char : they r so handsme n cool, dun u tink so? u go watch their drama 'meteor gdn' den u'll understand.
me : i'll nv like them n watch tat stupid, childish drama tats meant for sme teeny bunnies. haa...
a couple of days later, happen to at pam's hse as a focal pt for e rest of e grp to meet n she was watchin e series. so no choice had to sit dwn n watch with her till tat episode ends. after like 15 mins, i fell in love with e drama n 1st thing i reach my mum's hse was to dash into my sis's rm to dig out e series n watch it thru'out e nite. so romantic, shan cai n dao ming si 'ke ku ming xing' love story. *tearing* n i simply adore f4 after tat. haa... my dar even bought me a gigantic cloth poster of jerry yan (my fav one in e grp) which was proudly hung up on my study rm wall but is now sitting in a corner of my storerm. keke... so ironical right?
but they were really cool in e show. e lead always saving e damsel in distress. all of them simply so handsme, charmin, cool n damn rich in e drama, with e houses 100 times e size of mine n indoor pool, jacuzzi *daydreaming its my home*.
back to reality, i tink showbiz n media r really so amazin n fascinatin. it can lift people literally unknown to stardom overnight. smetimes how i wish i can act or sing n bcome famous. but memorizin scripts of like 100 pages is nv n will nv b my forte. juz memorizin my own notes takes me ages. so i can't imgaine how to cry or walk ard e set actin n remember e lines. most prob e director'll just strangle me. i can't sing too. n i'm not as ugly lookin as william hung so can't leverage on tat either. haa...

was at jurong hill hafin dinner at e jap restaurant servin teppanyaki. yummy. =9 it has been ages since i went to eat at tat place. tat's e niteview fr e restaurant. jurong island is in e backgrd, so mesmerizing right? its so romantic up there but of cuz e crowd i had with me killed e mood in me already tonite. ~dad signin for e bill. youngest bro took e receipt to take a l0ok~
bro: wa jie, $130+ cheap leh!
me : *stuns n nearly slap him* huh? cheap? u noe if u go foodcourt eat how much oni anot?
bro : i noe la, i eat before liao. but last sat dad, mum n mi, we go thai sharkfin's restaurant to eat. e 3 of us oni, e dinner cost like $200+. tonite 5 of us, oni $130+ ma. *sigh* wat can i say. ok, not tat i'm complainin. e ingredients were v fresh, e chef's skills were excellent n with e view tats rather astonishin, e price is reasonable. so once in a while is ok la, but its not cheap lor. so when jianglin says its cheap, i nearly fainted. keke... if tat's his definition of cheap, i hope he earns a lot nxt time to satisfy his exquisite feeding habits. hehe... 'right, bro?' ::~35~::

uni has been with us for 2 yrs. i tink she's as stubborn n bad-tempered as my mum tats y can click with my mum. though at first, always get lots of scoldings cuz always make mistakes. haa... she's going back to indonesia to buy a hse n get married nxt mth. feelin a bit sad even with her fiery character as afterall she has been with us for 2 yrs. when she came, she only noes malay n we had to communicate in sign language but nw we can even strike a conversation in english.

bcuz first impression always counts, a lot of ppl whom look like ruffians n with records r hardly given even a glance during job interviews. i feel sorry for those tat r genuinely serious abt turning over a new leaf but r not given e chance due to those minority tat still refuses to change themselves for e better. they haf served their punishments by doing time n yet society refuses to accept them. how i wish there r no bad ppl in e world with only love, kindness, peace n happiness. i noe i noe, its impossible. one can daydream right? hee... ::~33~::

so romantic of yude right. hee... 'men cannot b trusted. hence, even if its after marriage, e wife muz continue to seduce e husband.' a fren's church pastor shared with them during e svc last sun. i'm not disagreeing with him. yes, men can nv b trusted. ok, i do agree there r sme good men out there. but smetimes its those fox spirits forcing themselves on e guy, so much so tat men being weak, can nv resist such great temptations. i also agree e wife muz continue to make herself attractive to keep e passion burning. but y does it seems like a female responsibility when e root of prob is e guy? mayb e pastor is taking e oppty to hint to his wife tat 'hey honey, if i stray, its not my fault. its urs for looking like a sack of potatoes. n sack of potatoes is no fun.' (sorrie god, juz my 2 cents tats all) anyways, if men can make themselves more trustworthy, more responsible, tink before doing den i'm sure e divorce rates will go dwn. i do hope dis pastor touch on faithfulness during e nxt svc. =p well to all e guys reading dis, dun b ruled by wats down there. e brain is on e top of e human body for a reason. *bleahz* ::~29~::

~ shopping in orchard ~
me : time juz passes by so fast. rem i used to cme to orchard to shop with my poly gfs after sch every friday. now, we r all working already.
cheryl : ya lor. we were only in our teens.
me : teenager. seems so far away now. *tinking* it has been 4 to 5 yrs since we graduated. *shocked face* god, we r now in our mid-20s.
cheryl : ya hor, i'm 25 now.
me : ya, i'm 24. soon we wld b in our late-20s. *horrorifed face*
i used to look forward to my b'days every yr cuz it wld mean presents, excuses to stay out late n i'm older. which means soon i can start working n lead my own life. but ever since after my 21st b'day, i dread 15th july. i tink it e worst day of e yr. cuz its e day i got to add another yr to my age. actually its not looking older wat i hate but things changing ard me tat i detest. if i grow older, others do too. like my parents n regan. i love e way things r in my life now. status quo. *hmmm* ok, not everything. almost everything den. i'm so afraid things will change.
visited uncle richard n his wife after dinner today. uncle richard is my family's housing agent. he's really a nice n honest guy. anyone wans to look for or sell their apt n need such svc, let me noe ya. he's really good. my dad sold his old flat n i bought my flat thru him as well. he wld pop by my dad's hse occasionally. they r married for many yrs n v loving. uncle richard always picks auntie up after work. she wld accompany him n his clients to hse hunt at nite or on wkends. they haf no kids. so both of them always go travelling to c e world. sad thing was, auntie got malicious late stage cervix cancer. it was only detected recently n she has been to 2 ops. she always goes for yrly medical chk-up. its a wonder y it was not detected earlier or if e cancer really moved so fast. life is really so unpredictable n so short. though i strongly believe life is 80% destinated n 20% in our hands. y can't god gif sme signs abt bad things tat r going to happen so we can prepare our selves mentally. mayb when we r born, gif us a timeline n major milestones of our life. or a dvd of paths we can take. like when we make dis decision, dis is our life or we make tat decision, tat is our life wld be like so tat we get a clear overview. *sighs* anyways, went to eat supper in chinatown. we had char kuay teow, sambal stingray (i've been craving for it for days), oyster omelette n ice kachang. e food is avg. i tink newton circus is better. fairly busy today. had wu xing chicken rice for lunchie (been long time since i ate it) n den went to beauty world to buy a gift with rac for pam's unborn baby daugther. mum cook chilli crabs for dinner. but no time to eat cuz we were there rather late n need to rush to uncle richard's place. =< i'm find i'm losing hope in my life. its flickering in e distance. i'm trying very hard in my life to make things better. really hard. but smetimes i tink it fruitless. i dream to c a glimmer of hope, a sign tat everything is going to turn out just how i wan it to b. i long to c how my life will b at age 30, 40, 50 n i wan to die at 60. how i wish i haf a time machine or a crystal ball or e ability to read tea leaves n interpret coins thrown out fr a turtle shell. mayb i shld pick up tarot cards reading. *sigh* well, but guess fortune telling is nv in me. i haf nv even visited one in my whole life. haa...

scene 1 : ngee ann poly canteen 1, july 1998
he saw her hafing lunch with her gfs. e way she talked n luffed caught his eyes. scene 2 : ngee ann poly bus-stop, aug 1998 he saw her again dis time alone at e bus-stop. 'shld i or shld i not?' as bus 61 nears, he decides against going forward to talk to her n moved to e front of e bus-stop to board e approaching bus with his frens. they r on their way to take their driving lessons at bbdc. he noticed she moved in e same direction as well. 'is it fate?' they were both standing near e front of e bus. 'juz go get her no if u r interested. she's v tall oso, good match leh. we r getting off soon, faster la.' hissed his frens to him. there's no direct bus to or fr sch so she has to change buses. 'at least e bus is fast today.' walking to e front of e bus-stop to prepare to board bus 61. on e bus, she's suddenly acutely aware of e intentions of dis rowdy grp of guys. being shy, she quickly squeeze her way through to e back of e bus before he can say a word n hops off e bus-stops later at e stop where she's supposed to change her bus. 'hey, she's getting off at e same stop. its now or nv.' e frens prodded again. 'dun wan la, so ma lu, e bus-stop is so crowded.' he rebukes. 'oh no, y do they haf to get off at e same stop too.' shortly, seeing her bus 67 coming, she nv felt more relieved. without realising another bus 157 had cut into her bus's lane, she boarded it. when e bus turned left at e nxt junction, she was so shocked. she immediately pressed e bell to alight. 'god, its so embarassing, hope e guys haf already left' as she walks slowly back to e original bus-stop to wait for her bus. nearing e bus-stop, she felt so glad tat they r gone n no-one noe how silly she was. scene 3 : near ngee ann poly bus-stop, sept 1998
its raining heavily n she's waiting for her bus with her best fren. 'oh no, its them again. well, at least i'm not alone.' n continue chatting with her best fren. 'its her!' he thots happily. he had regreted not getting her no e prev time. he n his frens r on their way to bbdc again. she n her best fren boarded bus 184. 2 bus-stops later, all of them alighted at e same bus-stop. e grp of guys were standing behind e bus-stop jostling each other. after a long wait, she boarded bus 181 with her best fren. he can oni stare helplessly as her bus moves away. he felt sad when she left n disappointed with himself for not being courageous enough to walk over to her n say hi. 'all right, our bus to bbdc is here. lets go.' 'scrreeeecccchhhhhhhhhhhh' her bus had knocked a sec sch boy tat was dashing across e rd whom was too lazy to use e pedestrain crossing sme distance away cuz of e heavy rain. everybody alighted. the boy was bleeding profusely. being one of e few passengers onboard, she helped to call e ambulance n gave away all her tissues in an attempt by e bus-driver to stop e bleeding of e big cut on e boy's forehead. they were cracking jokes on e bus as usual when he saw e commotion in front of e rd. as his bus slowly moves into e bus-stop, he saw her. 'hey, tats her! lets get off' n e grp dashed to alight. standing at e other corner of e bus-stop, he did not noe when it wld b a good time to walk over with e injured boy n all. before he knew it, she suddenly moved with her fren to board another 181. 'can we go? e nxt bus is here. all e blood is making me nervous' plead her best fren. 'all right' she wans to get out of his way too as she had noticed him n his frens alighted n standing at e corner looking so oddly at them. both of them rushed to flag e oncoming bus. she alighted at her bus-stop. but was trapped there cuz e rain seems to b getting heavier. not wanting to become drenched, she waits patiently for e rain to stop. devastated he missed her yet again, he boarded his bus with his frens despondently. looking out e window, he suddenly saw her alone at e nxt bus-stop when his bus zoomed past it. 'how? she's there. u tink she's waiting for another bus? shld i get off at e nxt stop?' by e time he made up his mind, its already 2 bus-stops away n he ran all his life back towards e bus-stop for fear she's already gone. 'u better treat us later. we haf to wait for u here in such a ulu place. e bus-stop is so wet n no place to sit dwn. hurry ya, our driving lesson almost time already.' his frens nagged. as he near e bus-stop, his heart did a flip when he saw her still standing there. giving his coolest look, he slows down his pace n walks into e bus-stop. 'awwww, y is he here? wat shld i do? i hate it such moments. i hate dis type of guys. muz b so desperate. but if i reject him, he wld b embarassed. how? i dun wan him to feel bad too. there's so many ppl at e bus stop.' after trying to delay e time by yakking with her guy fren on her hp, whom is on his way to ubi to renew his expired bike license, for 0.5 hr, 'hey, i need to hang up, call u later.' 'huh? can later den hang up?' but he can't. she had to end e call n dreaded e moment when he walked over n started talking to her. he : hi, heavy rain hor. *smiles*
her : ya. *can't b bothered*
he : *hair dripping with rain water still* u stay ard here? *smiles widely*
her : yes. *feeling so sorry for him* sorry, i dun haf any tissue on me, gave it all away just now.
he : its ok. so u study at ngee ann? which yr? *smiles*
her : yes. 2nd yr. u?
he : ohhh, i'm in 1st yr. *smiles*
her : i c. *turn off, junior*
he : can i noe u? *grins*
her : er.... *c-ing his wet hair, clothes, shoes* ohhhh all right.
he : *grins* can u write ur no for me? i got to go for my driving lesson. i call u again k.
her : *relunctantly* ok.
he : u wan me to walk u hme? its raining, so romantic. *smiles*
her : huh? u can walk urself n b romantic urself. i'm not getting wet.
he : er, ok, i make a move first. *grins*
her : ok.
he : bye byes. *grins*
her : bye.
its her first time giving away her contact no to a stranger. its has always been outright rejection for all e guys whom approached her. tat first time eventually lead to smething more. for its tat moment's decision tat changed her life forever. cuz u c. she's attached at tat pt in time. but all she felt then was lots n lots of sympathy for e guy who went thru so much trouble n who got so wet running a long distance juz to get to where she was. so she relented n gave in. e min e guy called tat nite, she rejected him n told him nv to call again as she has a bf n its impossible between e both of them. but e first was not meant to b n like lots of things in life tat is pre-destinated, fate finally brought them together many mths later for 2 yrs before they eventually got married.

friday friday friday. e wk juz zoomed past by me. *sigh* no time for hsework today cuz met up with my my ex-dbs colleagues, cheryl n estee. e 2 of them took half day leave for e 3 of us to juz hang out. its always so hard to co-ordinate dinners or watever cuz all our meetings r at different times of e wk. i felt so touched as i noe leave is v precious to cheryl cuz she's studyin, so me n her will always conserve our leave for use to study before exams.
went to eat at suntec's chongqing hotpot. so yummy! :9 guess being a friday afternoon with lesser customers, e service was fastastic. e waiters came scurrying over at e drop of a feather. but i'm wasn't feeling tat well yet, so din really eat a lot of ma la soup side of stuffs though its my fav. *groans*
den its shopping all e way fr 2pm to 8pm. we walk fr suntec thru city link mall den took a train down to orchard n fr scotts shopping ctr shopped dwn to heeren n den opp side fr ceinleisure all e way back up thru taka to wheellock place. totally exhausted. had been such a long time i really shop till i drop. *sigh* but so sad, not working so cannot spend. oni bought a mei mei top fr urban n some accessories. saw a lot of nice tops tat i was juz so tempted to splurge on. i tink its always so contradicting. whenever i wanna buy something to buy, its so difficult to find smething i really like. but when i'm do not wan to buy anything, all e nice things juz sits there screaming 'buy me!'. =<

received my lee hwa anniversary collection booklet n saw dis 2 pcs tat i was drooling over. its a bracelet n a necklance. so so so nice right. wonder when i can save enuff to bring them hme. e bracelet isn't too overwhelm with diamonds. i like. hee... 
bought smething similiar for gerlynn's 21st b'day earlier dis yr. n i totally love it. darn enticed to buy an exact for myself. gerlynn is my sis n bro's fren. my dad n mum adores her. she n her mum r really nice n v v ke qi. anyways, she's oso a regular of my yrly christmas party. together with a couple of my other sis's gfs. 'allo xiao mei, dis yr muz cme oso hor.' hmmm, hw cme i seem to extending all my christmas invitations here. haa... i tink almost every other fren is at orchard. rowena was at taka when i was abt to leave. saw jonaphine at isetan scotts. tat ger was literally standing so close to me n we din even realise till i asked e sales asst smething n she hit me *ouched* when she realise it was me thru my voice. trixy was at ceinleisure. so happening right everybody. when i was in e shops, saw a lot of sweet bfs accompanying their gfs to shop n buy stuffs. e ger wld b tryin on a top of smething n e guy is there helping to pull it in place n give his comments. so sweet right. i mean guys hate shopping. only a few rare breeds like my ex, terence, likes to really really shop. andy used to accompany me shopping as well, but it was nv fun. he wld b looking so bored standing outside e shop n wait. though he always try to b sweet n say 'u take ur time hor' but c'mon, i already lose my mood n oso feel so bad c-ing him so bored n rather perhaps catch a show or go to a bkshop together. n i guess guys nv understand y we gers need to try e sme top in 3 different shade of colours or size 's' n 'm' juz to c how it looks n den comb thru e entire orchard to c if anywhere else might b cheaper b4 heading back to e first shop where we first tried e top to buy it. but anyways back to e sme topic, i tink e sweet bfs will eventually change to communist husbands after they get married. hence those couples seen in shopping ctrs like heeren annex or ceinleisure, they r always still unmarried. e married ones can b found together at more family shopping places like robinsons, og, mother care or kiddy palace. oh well, to all e still singles n unmarried couples, enjoy all e attn u get n every oppty tat he says 'i accompany u go shopping' cuz its nv gonna b e same once u say 'i do' at e altar. *winks* ;) ::~26~::

look at those mooncakes, so yummy right! its so exquisite tat i tink i can't bear to eat it if i bought it. mid-autumn festival juz rd e corner. haven been to chinese garden yet. raining dis couple of days so its going to b muddy. mayb nxt wk. i used to b excited abt mid-autumn festival when i was young cuz it means having fun with lanterns n candles. now tat i've grown-up, find it less amusing smehow. but i do enjoy n appreciate e togetherness n harmony when everybody gathers to talk, eat mooncakes, drink chinese tea n admire e moon. my fav mooncakes r those traditional ones without yolks. yup, i'm a v traditional ger with v traditional values. haa... ;) haven buy a lantern for regan yet. he definitely wans an aeroplane one. any sponsor out there? hee...

feeling better today. still slightly lethargic. i wonder wats wrong with my immune system. i hardly get sick in e past but of late i seem to b down with flu v often. *sigh*

hee... joji sent me an invitation for google mail n 'DA TA', i've sent up my google e-mail acct. 'lindachua@gmail.com' so excited. my first e-mail acct was hotmail n i've been using it faithfully for e last 7 yrs. switch to using yahoo last mth cuz it offers more mail space compared to hotmail which always tells me i'm exceeding my limit. so frustrating. yahoo e-mail serves me excellently so far, generous mail space, user-friendly n haf lots of useful features. mayb try out googlemail as it offers 1GB of mail space but its in its infancy period as such, e features tat they offer r still v basic. sorrie folks, but its not available to e mass mkt yet. *awwww* dun envy k. keke... head back to my books now. its already 3 pm n i barely touched my books. din study much for e last 3 days as well cuz of my flu. *sigh* =< ::~25~::

i'm still so sick. even more sick than yesterday n e day b4 yesterday. i'm already lagging behind my studies but i can't even hold my pen properly to write my notes. *sobs* self-medicated n hope i'll kill myself. its such a gloomy day today. i like. hee... i like it when its raining cats n dogs with howling winds but i'm protected of the elements of nature inside my cosy n warm home. so cynical right. i like to observe e trees bend over n leaves rustling madly n torrents of falling rain moving fr left to right.

tats my sis, eileen n regan. e shot was taken sme time back after regan went to dis awful barber tat did his awful haircut. i can't believe dis barber is working as a barber. he shld b a grass cutter instead. anyways, i haf nv been back there n rather travel all e way to jurong west to cut regan's hair with dis wonderful barber tat is so conscientious, thorough n meticulous. he used to cut my bros hair when they were really small. received sme bad news during my few waking hrs. been sleeping almost e whole day. my ex-bm, jolene, is going to run orchard premier ctr instead of orchard br decided previously. n i'm supposed to join orchard br once my package is agreed upon. luckily, i haven sign e la, otherwise, its fixed. anyways, sent her an e-mail to enquire if i can join her at orchard premier instead which is where i wld like to move to as well. 1. its more up-mkt. 2. e custs r invisible. 3. i can learn new things. 4. alt sat off. 5. i can work with jolene whom is really a nice n caring boss. 6. more dedicated svcs.

me : hi, i'm e owner for sdt8787h, did u juz called abt 0.5 hrs ago?
personnel : yes. (den continued in chinese with a m'sian accent) wa, call u no pick up ar?
me : sorrie, i din hear my hp ring. yes?
personnel : too many boyfrens liao is it?
me : huh? *faints* (is tat his prob?) u call me regarding e car is it?
personnel : we nid to inform u we can't repair e car cuz ur front radio, dvd player n lcd screen r not original accessories. hence, u nid to dismantle them b4 sending ur car in again.
me : huh? juz a minor prob, u nid 1 whole day to do it already n now u tell me nid to dismantle tat thing b4 u all can do it?
personnel : yes, we nid to open up e whole front part n my mechanics r not familiar with ur current model of accessories n is afraid we'll damaged it if we do it so u nid to dismantle it b4 we can open up e front part.
me : ok den. i pick it up later.
i tink kah motors got prob, e mechanics got prob even e cust svc guy also got prob. e car is damn new. can still insisted we muz haf pressed it too hard tats y spoil. do i, my mum or my family look like zena or hercules? n my pte life is totally irrelevant to him, like i noe him so well like tat. anyways, thereafter, went to goodwood park hotel to buy mooncakes. yummy but so x! 2 boxes 'ping bi' d24 durian + 1 box 'shuang huang bai lian rong' = $120. but i can only see n smell cuz durian too heaty. *sigh* given my current condition, i'll b bed-ridden to 'yang ping' if i ate them. e durian one cannot keep for long though, muz put freezer n can only last for 3 days. if put in e lower compartment only 1 day. well, nice things r always shortlived like rainbows, fireflies n fireworks. hee... ::~23~::

|||...cancer woman...|||
When she's in love, she will act 2 ways. 1st, shy and polite trembling to be near you. 2nd, be very attached to you like glue and try to be with you all the times. She'll want to go home with you after work or have every lunch with you. It's ok if you like her too, but that's not the case, you will feel very uncomfortable. She hates to be talked about or gossiped by someone else. If she knows that, she will be very hurt. In nature, she's very shy, unless when she's being influenced by some other Zodiac. She's not brave or daring, so if you like her, then you have to be the one to start first. She'll not accept her true feelings, thus if you like her you must tell her first. She is like a musical note always changing tunes, as such, one minute she can be funny and cheerful and the next minute she can be sad and depress. Other people may think of her as "over-acting", or "over-reacting". When she's depressed, she'll go out and look for things to make it up. She loves money, and thinks of having "money" as "happy", not as "god". She will not look down at you if you do not have a lot of money, but she will help you make money and save money. She is not an extravagant person and sometimes will tell you not to buy her expensive and useless gifts. She enjoys long and quiet walks. Cancer woman are very much influenced by the "moon". Hence, under the moonlight, she'll be a very fascinating woman. She has a constant fear for many things. She fears of not being smart or not pretty enough. Even if she's not fat, she'll not be satisfied. Assuring her of her looks would help, because she can change her moods 4 times a day. She is not stingy, but do not be surprise if you see she collecting old or broken junks. She thinks everything are useful to her. She will find a way to re-use it again some day. She is not a easily jealous but possessive. The best part of her is that she will sacrifice everything for her love one with no limits. Don't leave her in times of troubles, she will never forget it. She is not a weak type, even she looks like one. Example: if you argue with her, she might cry her heart out but once you leave, she will wipe her tears and start cleaning up her apartment normally. She is a very careful mother and will look after her kids every step of the way. If she is a mother of your children, you would be at ease, but if she is your mother-in-law, you are in pain. However, not to worry, this type of mother-in-law will not let her own daughter be an "old mate". She could be moody and argue with you in many little things like many women, but she'll always wait and wants to take care of you. If you argue with her and disappear for a few days, she'll be waiting for you, but not for long ok. This kind of testing is risky, try not to do it. The cancer woman need 2 things to be happy - "work" and "love". She can live in a dusty house, but she cannot live in that same house with no love. ::~21~::

feeling so tired now cuz i slept at 5am last nite. was reading a bk by judith mcnaught. i tink tats my prob, once i start a novel, i can't put it dwn n muz read it fr cover to cover.
went out for dinner with dad yesterday. he's so pleased cuz i haven been dining at hme for e last 3 saturdays except my youngest bro wasn't there :-
~at 6.35pm when i was still in dreamland taking my beauty nap. it was intruded by 'ring ring ring ring'~
dad : allo. coming over my hse?
me : *yawnz* y e s.
dad : wan to go out n eat?
me : o k. w a t t i m e?
dad : reach here by 7pm.
me : o k. *tinking it was like 6pm only* n after i finally drag myself out of bed, realised e time n thus a mad flurry ensues. went to eat at mum's fren newly opened kopitiam in jurong west. avg only. had chilli crabs. hee... e best part was, mi wear mei mei but they all wear v la ta. *hmpf* nv tell me earlier where they wanna eat. den smetimes i wear la ta, complain i look like ah sum. 
tat's my bro n his gf, calyn. they haf been together for 2 yrs now. 'sorry cal, lift it fr ur blog's photo album. => hope u dun mind!' *smiles* she hardly dines with us so yesterday nite i was pretty surprised to c her. my bro likes hide her for his own only.
i tink e world is really a small place or i shld say sg. she is e god daugther aka niece of my mum's old hair stylist (used to b fr peter n guys but now opened his own salon at far east, opp where peter n guys used to b). i permed my hair in sec 2 n looked like maggi mee walking ard for 3 mths by him also known as uncle chris. hehe... every yr cny for e last 2 yrs, cal n her family n uncle chris n his family wld pop by for a visit. 'di, i tink u better marry her n dun disappoint all of us even after u go overseas ya, else her whole kampong'll chop u up.' anyways, cal is really a sweet, lovely, cute, caring, helpful n everything nice type of ger. she keeps a lot of pets. last christmas when she went taiwan, she left her rabbit in ah di's care n regan simply adores it though nearly squashed it in e process. n my whole family plus cousins n uncles look so hilarious when they were looking for e rabbit tat run n hid itself under our sofa. (can u imagine all of them sprawled on e floor on all fours including my dad) 'oh ya, cal u better turn up for dis yr christmas celebrations on 24th dec hor! c i bk u so early, cuz come ar.' a very idyllic sunday so far. i like. hee... i like it when there's nothing to do (i noe, i noe, i still haf my studies). when i look out of my hse window siting on my sofa, i like to imagine i'm a leave on e tree swaying in e wind. ;) there's lots of things i like n dream. i wonder if i wld ever b able to realise them (albeit e leave one). dreams :- 1. get my degree 2. set up a restuarant cum cafe cum wines place 3. learn diving 4. tour whole of europe 5. win a condo n a car in a lucky draw 6. snorkle in maldives
seems a lot? well, 1 is attainable in e nxt 1.5 yrs, 2 a bit more more off mayb in e nxt 5 yrs, 3 is nxt yr with tracy, 4 mayb in 10 yrs, 5 is impossible but will work hard n make lots of calls to nkf nxt yr, 6 depends on hw successful i bug my dad but e chances r v low. anyways, tats my dreams for now at age 24. *smiles* ::~20~::

today has been a busy day for me. though i slept at like near 4am last nite, i woke up at 9am dis morning. *yawnz*
so furnee, i'm still as blur as ever. hee... sent regan to child care dis morn n realise i din take regan's bag after i got there. i so 'doh' right. e teachers were as usual luffing at e blurest mummy at their centre. i tink regan smetimes a bit poor thing thru no fault of his. like once in a while, i wld carry him to e car n occasionally, i'll forget his shoes. den he has to go barefooted when they play in e outdoor area or e teachers haf to use another child's shoes. so 'ke lian' right. *awww*
anyways, i had to go all e way back hme n go to sch again. went to e banks to do sme transfers after tat n catch up with sme ex-colleagues. saw my husband's fren's gf-den-ex-den-gf again working at posb. din recognize her at first :-
michelle : er, u r tiensong's wife rite?

michelle : erm, i'm michelle lor.
me : ey, u look like dis meh? *embarrassed* sorry, i really forget how u look like. i tink we haven met for like 2 to 3 yrs rite. hee... so how long have u worked here?
michelle : just 3 months.
me : i was just thinking of vincent n whose his current gf cuz i passed by his hse e other day when i sent a fren hme staying nearby (teacher sophia). u 2 got back together right? i still rem u stay at northvale n always walk over to his place across e bke. happy for u 2 to b back together again leh. *smiles widely*
michelle : ya lor. i still stay there now. *grins* tiensong always outside, so happening hor, nv bring u along so bad right, throw u at hme alone look after ur son.
me : ya. *sigh (no comments on tat one)* wats ur no? keep in touch ok. u still got talk to my sis? (they used to b classmates studying together at btmc in jurong east, singapore is really such a small place)
michelle : *scribbles* nope. how is she? ok. sms me hor.
did many things today. after settling my banking stuffs, went hme to do hsework. catch up a bit abt with regan's ex-teacher, teacher sophia, whom was locked out of her hse cuz she forget her keys in e morning n thus took refuge over at my place. den accompany mum with sis to bugis to buy regan sme new clothes for sch. i tink children's clothes r getting so costly. we bought only 5 pcs of giordano kids tops n bottoms n it cost S$90.*faints* giordana leh, still rem when i was in sec sch, wearin giordana jeans is v orbit but now so in n e prices escalated so exhorbitantly. oh ya, haven say wat happened b4 tat, agreed to drive my mom's car there initially but when i reached, e 2 of them were waiting outside hse n literally jumped into my car when i stopped (its a scam). smart right! end up i b ahmad again, cannot relax n stoned after doing e energy draining hsework. *hmpf*
ages since i washed my car myself as i usually pay $6 for snow wash. haa... i'm so remorseful to say can tell e difference. hee... 'ok ok dad, will wash my car more often since i'm jobless anyways, got lots of time for tat now.' but b4 tat, i tink he's already screaming i'm washing e car at his place cuz wasting his water. haa... 'dad, easier wat, if not ur daugther had to carry buckets of water dwn leh, here dun nid ma.' => tat's my xiao hei to xiao bai.

today cooked 'ma po tofu'. nicey nicey! actually i wanna cook steamed tofu but my mum had a different idea when i say cook tofu on e way back in e car. i was still tinking abt tat n started to prepare e ingredients (mum was out helping to pick up regan) when i saw she had turned e cook bk to 'ma po tofu'. i was tinking 'odd, y she turned to tat'. end up she wans to eat 'ma po tofu'. lucky i haven start n wait for her to come back if not she wld wring my neck. hee...

yes, e tag board is filled with notes fr my cousins. we used hang ard bedok north area (where all my cousins r located actually, we r e only oddballs stayin in e west) whenever my mum goes there to play mahjong which is a whole day kinda thingy. its one of e most memorable part of my childhood. anyways, extracted dis fr my frenster n its my fav testimonial by far :- Ling, 11/25/2003:
Linda's another favourite cousin of mine. Yes, I think I've affinity with the girls in the chua family! ;) When we were young, there seems to be so much things we can do. Feed the kois with cheapskate bread (Surprisingly, the kois eat the bread like it's some kind of Buddha-jump-over-the-wall dish.); Scaring ourselves funnily with those ancient vampires (imported exclusively from China) horror cum comedy shows; Playing Police-catch- thieves (Yes, we don't just merely play Barbie dolls cos' we're the new age girls! Heh.); Cycling (No prizes for guessing who has the loudest shrieks! We've to literally press our palms onto our ears and hush our lead opera singer down! :D); and so on... Those were the days when we the 4 girls namely me and my Sister and Linda and her Sister were still young and have little obligations to life. Time doesn't wait and we were forced to grow up to face the challenges ahead. Everyone is just so busy with their own life and commitments now. Nevertheless, our childhood memories will also be placed in somewhere in our heart and mind. What comfort me is the bond and the title "Cousins" that bind us together.

received e bottom right hand corner photo fr pamela (top left hand corner e one on e extreme right; the little boy's mother) just. so sweet. its jovan n his latest gf shannon. he got good taste like his dad. hee... e other ger in the top left hand corner photo is rachel. we used to hang out every wkend in our poly days n chat for hrs straight no matter where we are - billard saloons, in the car on the way to someplace, arcades, couches in ceinleisure while waiting for the movie to start, roadsides, foodcourts, restaurants, haunted houses and the list goes on. once e 3 of us meet, its like a fish mkt. we'll update each other on the latest and even the most trival things in our lives.
we differ in ages by abt a yr each but we get along so well. guess whose the oldest? hee... we met thru our bfs den n every wkend we go out in a grp. the guys will do their stuffs n we'll just hang ard n chat. keke. i miss e closeness between us. i hardly meet up with them nowadays as they always meet for late nite shows n i dun haf the luxury of doing so.
looking forward to the day of rachel n yude union of bliss n b her jie mei. will let him suffer. haha, yude, u better b prepared. easy to win her as she loves u like crazy but not for us, of cuz money still makes the world goes rd so start saving if u wan a easier time getting thru us! *grins*
the 4th ger in the bottom left hand corner photo is stephanie n she joined us much later. still rem e 1st time i met her was on my rom day n we had dinner at heeren sakae sushi n all of us were like 'WOW, she's so pretty, how did andy managed to bag her?' a bit sad they r no longer together but i guess it all abt fate.

all of us leads a busy life now. fr our schling days to working days, things hv changed dramatically. rachel now is a engineer with chartered, pamela a sales engineer with pure chem n stephanie a student with sim. well sisters, stay close always ya! => ::~9~::

no monday blues for me finally. i hate mondays when i was working as we usually have update mtgs, more customers and its the most furthest away fr the nxt wkend.

was watching frens 1st part of the final finale earlier, though i've not been catching the series since 2000. but i went thru my best yrs of poly life with it on every monday nite at 11pm. though i do tink they shld haf wound it up long ago with the sign of age catching up on each n every one of the casts' faces and jokes getting cheesy, i felt kinda sad. dun noe y. there was a period of time i tink its a bit disgusting tat ross coupled up with rachel n chandler coupled up with monica cuz they r supposed to b frens and its a show abt frens but ended up with 'special' relationships between the 6 of them. well, it just reinforce my belief of 'ri jiu sheng qin' theory, where when ppl meet, c, communicat everyday, they will either grow to hate or fall in love with each other.
shld hit back to my bks now. lagging behind lots already. ::~8~::

|||...zodiac: 'cancer' & blood type: 'a' analysis...|||
Personality:
We have another "Mother Theresa" in this world and that is you. Your humanity and concern for others make your friends feel that they are very special. The only problem with you is that you don't give the time of the day to people you dislike. Try to be in control of your emotions. Also make sure that if you're set on one goal, you pursuit that one only. Too many tasks will confuse you and lead you to a state of disarray.
Love Tendency:
The problem with you in this department is that you cling onto your first love. You fall hard, once you take a serious step. You're also strictly against making the first move and that's why you need the help of others around you to attain the person you've been eying for a long time.
Life:
You're a lucky girl and sometimes you feel the envious looks from others because your marriage is an example of pure bliss. But that occurs because you really work hard around your household. Your laborious work ethic will be rewarding you with enough money that you'll be able to pass an estate onto your children. The only worries that you will encounter are the jealous gossips and that is important to avoid.
Good Match:
Since you love to share your deep affections, you'd be best off with O-type, A-type and AB-type Taurus and Cancers. O-type Virgos and Scorpios, and AB-type Pisces are also good matches. Although your individual personalities are different, your common interests balance that out. You will enjoy each other's differences because it makes the relationship that more exciting.
Bad Match:
B-type Aries don't enjoy staying in one place for a long time. They also have the tendency to lose their feelings quickly once their partners are out of sight for a while. Another bad match are the B-type Sagittarius because they tend say whatever is on their minds. That means that you will be in many uncomfortable situations. Try to avoid them if you want to stay out of trouble. ::~7~::

time really flies. it only seem like sunday to me yesterday. mayb it helps tat i'm not working. i dun tink i will b ever satisfied living life like tat in the long run for i'm quite a workholic n it does gives me much satisfaction in life.
it has been a rather long time since i cook 'shui jiao' as too busy with life. i love fried ones with vinegar best. yummy. *drools*
::*~*::secret recipe::*~*::
mix minced meat, diced chestnuts, chopped prawn, crushed 'pian yu' and seasonings together. wrap with wanton skin. fry them or cook them in yellow beans ikan bilis soup with caixin.

feeling pretty sad now. i noe y but i dun noe how to solve it. there seems to b no ans though i've tried hard to find the solution. i'm experiencing life but when will it bcome wonderful. well, trying hard to heed a fren's advice, always look forward n not back cuz wat we do now can and will affect the future but not the past. thus, i'm not regreting as i dun tink i might haf done anything else differently given the circumtances but y no matter how hard i try i can't untie the knot. is there any easier way of doing so. yes, no, mayb, guess only time will tell. ::~6~::

|||...i am not afraid of storms, for I am learning how to sail my ship...|||
last day of UK revision class for my current module 'investment management'. i like going for full day revision classes as it makes me feel like a full-time student all over again.
slept late last nite and as usual my fav habit of snoozing in the morning till i'm late. luckily my dad's partner son aka classmate aka colin aka zichao whom is picking up his gerfren tracy staying just beside my blk is also late by 15 mins hence still managed to hitch a ride fr them *grins*. i always take their car hme fr sch if i dun drive. i feel very thankful to the both of them, zichao (more affectionately known to me n my family since we were babies) for all the rides and tracy for all her generousity lending me her notes. tracy is really a very sweet, nice, fantastic and considerate ger.

had lunch at sim cafeteria. the concept is very marche. selling wide range of food at reasonable prices - spaghetti bolognaise for $3.90 and a cup of ice lemon tea for $0.80.
the main thing i learnt abt the revision lectures for the last 2 nites n today is if u are a british, dun work. coz they pay lots of taxes and i tink its better off relying on social benefits. hee...
went to watch bourne supremacy at shaw house beach rd. initially, i din expect much fr the show coz the title of the movie is a bit too 'guy' thing. however, the show turned out to b quite good. in a nutshell, talks abt a guy with amnesia being framed and fighting back. quite cool. worth spending the $8.50 and 2 hrs of ur time catching it.
a bit sad i missed the movies at the park showing organized by class 95. coz i tink its really nice watching a movie under the stars. *sniffles*
had a great saturday to sum up though not perfect with some things i'm sad abt but try not to tink abt it ba. if not will nv b happy. yup, n the most impt thing in life is to b happy of coz after being rich (fr robert t kiyosaki, was reading his bk on the train back hme). *smiles* ::~5~::
