went for my cousin's 21st birthday party =D the bungalow chalet was reallllly worth the money. cheap and goood!


cousins group shot! the nine of us, and now an additional member - my sis hubby! =))

this is my cousin, who never fails to make us laugh and roll on the floor. her energy level is forever at the peak!!!



alright, basically all the cousins' shot above. very united and close cousins i have. we took a stroll at pasir ris park, and headed to summer breeze for a drink before we ended our day =)

and yes, I AM GAINFULLY EMPLOYED NOW with singapore prisons service =D yay! still cant believe i landed myself in a research job =x i used to tell my sister and friends that i will never ever consider a research position cox i just suck at it. who knows years later, i find myself in it. aiyo. but i think over the years, i changed la. especially after doing my thesis. not so much against research work now.

im looking forward to starting workkkkkkk now! =))) and i hope i gonna survive!

went for prisons interview in the morning! i thought i gonna screw it up when they presented me with 3 journal articles, and gave me an hr to critique one of the articles, and got me to present in front of 4 interviewers during the interview. more updates about that later!!!

anyway, met sk for my floss toast at hk cafe after my interview! floss toast was supposed to be my motivation to do well for the interview (my self proclaimed reinforcement). heh. sat and talked for a couple of hours before i headed to bugis to meet fairies! like finaalllly, we are going to meet! our long awaited korean bbq at 2D1N =))

its funny why when ryl and i were in korea, we didnt even bother trying the korean bbq there =x we must have been too preoccupied spending most of our time walking. hahha!

ah sian is missing here! so we didnt get our full strength!


feels good meeting with fairies =D it has been a long while since we last met, and we get all nonsensical when we meet. i bet the tables beside us must have thought we were nuts. anyway, i thought the food was pretty average, kind of overrated i felt.

have been leaving my blog untouched.

laziness is creeping into me. i think im so comfortable with my laid back life now, i think i don't want to work anymore.i enjoy using my laptop, with the curtains drawn, with the air-con on (the weather has been horrible lately), with the music playing at the background as i savor my cup of old town white coffee.

oh man. where did all my ambitions went to?

another interview this thurs! jitters. im getting less confident of myself alreadyyyyyyyy. somemore im going for a position that im not exactly strong at. great =(

went for psychometric test last friday and really, the world is so smallllll! xinyi used to describe to me this friend called si ping, who shares the same surname as me, who lives near me, who has 2 elder sisters like me and guess what, I SAT RIGHT BESIDE HER DURING THE TEST. i saw her name and i was thinking that name sounds familiar. so since she was seated beside me and being talkative, i started a conversation with her and true indeed, she's the chuan shuo zhong de 'si ping'. HAHHA! smalllll worldddddddd. and we are all of a kind =) probably explains why we clique =)

and i've been busy shopping all these while i thought i was printing money =x 

anyway, met ryl for a run ydae! we went running on the road and on the threadmill =) feels good exercising =D i think i should start my regular run since im so free now.

alright, maybe i shld read up abit on stats now. dunwan to go for an interview and look like a retard =x

oh one more thing! not sure whether ryl gonna read this, BUT THANK YOU VERY MUCH ALL THESE WHILE FOR CHECKING ON ME TO SEE WHETHER IM OK. *HUGS deeeeeply appreciated. there were times back then when u asked whether im ok, and i told u i wasnt and i was crying, thanks for being there all these while making sure im ok! of course i have other friends and my sisters who checked on me now and then, im all ok now =) thanks all!

not sure if i have turned all heartless and cold. but the truth is that, if thats not gonna work, its not gonna work. i believe i've always given what i could in all relationships but the sad truth is that the returns most often do not commensurate. i've been silly all these while and thank to all u people who taught me the hard way. i know exactly what i want now. NO IM NOT ANGSTY. nooo. we all learn and grow don't we?

i finally made my first visit to a hair salon to DYE MY HAIR. yeah, no more liese products now.

i was attended by this ah tiong hair stylist (apparently, some really professional hair stylist) that almost freaked me out. i was deciding what color to dye and so he gave me some suggestions. i went ahead with what he suggested assuming that he should know best what kind of colors would suit his clients. anyway, after i washed my hair and all, he asked me whether the color was alright and he said '我们中国人都是染这样的颜色' OMG *faints.I DON'T WANNA LOOK LIKE SOME TIONGS.zzzz. almost wanted to laugh out =x

but thank goodness the color was fine la, normal and decent.

but he was pretty good actually because i liked the way he curled my hair and made my parting less distinct and gave me more fringe! hahahha! but the curl will probably only last me for today =( booo.and i did treatment tooo. hahaha! i feel all girly today =) so my hair now is evenly coloured, soft and smoooooth =)))) 

went off to meet sk for coffee at airport after i was done with my hair! i was supposed to be reading my booookkkkkkk! but we ended up talking and disregarded our readings.heh.

tea time with val =D this time we went to L'etoile Cafe tucked in a corner along owen road.just love the way we always find new cafes to explore =)
 
we shared this yummy honey french toast

so here's the nice little homely cafe =)

carrot cake!


WE TALKED FOR 4HRS NON-STOP! amazing how we could talk soooooo muchhhhhhhh! (yeah, i can only talk so much to friends whom i really can clique). its abit like i stored one whole week of gossips and i just rambled off non-stop when i saw her =p  we shared alot more stuff, stuff that i didnt know, like how val actually learnt ballet when she was young =x and that i might just not be an easy gf to handle after hearing val's story. ok alot more things that we shared in an afternoon over coffee and french toast and cake. quality time spent! noticed how easy it is for me to say 'quality time spent' - just spend an afternoon talking to me is enough.      

ps: val! i found new places to venture! http://www.mondayflying.com/2012/01/book-cafes-in-singapore/ check that out! - books cellar

alright thats updates for today! nth much happened. therapy session was awesome in the morning.

I HAVE GRADUATED AND IS NOW OFFICIALLY UNEMPLOYED!

psychology department was nice enough to organize a lunch buffet for the psychology graduates. So i met up with xinyi at kent ridge, went down to UCC to support her friends then headed to arts faculty for our lunch reception =)

i learnt that this is called photobomb =x but yeah! this is my advanced abnormal psychology classmates! =)


xinyi! my bestie in uni =D thanks for being there all the time!!! funny how i got to know her - yeah, the prof insisted that i sang the national anthem because i was late for class =x and i was so paiseh and thankfully the class sang together with me. and then i hurriedly sat right next to her because that was the nearest empty seat in the classroom. and from there, we realised we were both psychology majors (yeah, we were in a sociology class) and we were taking the same modules and we cliqued so well i went over to her place to study for exams barely knowing her for a month or 2. we have called each other numerous times during school days as we discussed and panicked over our assignments and thesis. then we became closer friends being therapist for the same kid and there our friendship grew stronger =D yayy! its nva easy making really good friends in uni. and she is one of them! =D superhugs!

yeah! daddy n mummy =D they were happy that i have graduated because that means NO MORE PAYING OF SCH FEES. hahahahha!
and that nicely sums up my commencement =D 4 years in uni just flew byyyyyy. i bet i gonna miss studying. going to starbucks and sipping my earl grey latte/caramel machiatto while i write my notes. i duno why but i kind of just like sitting at starbucks, enjoy my cup of coffee and quietly do my own work. feels good somehow.

went for dinner with my family at turf city! picked up dajie, erjie and husband along the way and we went for a good feast =))

my dajie took quarter day leave from work just so that she could leave work at 4-5pm =x but yeah, of course she couldnt make it to attend my commencement. so i made it a point to take photo with her when we were back at home! hahahhaa!! helllo sis! are u seeing urself in me 6 years ago? =p

so hooray to my parents because all their 3 daughters have graduated from uni! =D i think if i were them, i will feeeeeel awesomely proud of my children =D

actively seeking for a job now!

Somebody That I Used To Know
Gotye 


Now and then I think of when we were together
Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
I told myself that you were right for me
But felt so lonely in your company
But that was love and it's an ache I still remember

You can get addicted to a certain kinda sadness
Like resignation to the end, always the end
So when we found that we could not make sense
Well you said that we would still be friends
But I'll admit that I was glad that it was over

But you didn't have to cut me off
Make it like it never happened and that we were nothing              
I don't even need your love, but you treat me like a stranger
And that feels so rough

No, you didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records
And then change your number
Guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Now you're just somebody that I used to know
Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over
But had me believin it was always something that I'd done
But I don't wanna live that way
Reading into every word you say
You said that you could let it go
And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know-oh-oh

But you didn't have cut me off
Make it like it never happened and that we were nothing (oh)
I don't even need your love,
but you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough
(oh)

No, you didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect you records
And then change your number (oh)
Guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Somebody that I used to know
Somebody (now your just somebody that I used to know)
That I used to know
Somebody that I used to know
Somebody (somebody) (now your just somebody that I used to know)
That I used to know

I used to know
That I used to know
I used to know
Somebody

this song is stuck in my headdddddddd!

edited version with photos! haha! val! i was waiting for u to blog so i could kope ur photos from ur blog.....but u blogged later than meeee...

met valerie for tea yesterday =D we tried this place called 'stranger reunion' located somewhere near outram park. from the looks of the cafe, it seemed as though it was under renovation. but this little cafe proved me wrong because when i entered, what was in front me were mismatched tables and chairs, and this little rusty touch on their furnitures made it a nice little cosy cafe, perfect for an afternoon tea =)) so we sat down comfortably, sipped our coffee/tea, ate our waffles and talked for hrs. if money isnt an issue, i would love spending my every afternoon this way. anw, many issues to ponder about as we talked. true indeed, what lies ahead of us is scary.





and im still unemployedddddddd! ok actually i only applied for 3 jobs, so i shouldnt be complaining that im not getting hire compared to others who applied like dozens. anw, im going for moe interview tml. cross fingers and let me pass the interview pls! i need that job! =(

im getting so bored doing nth everyday =x i think i have pins on my butt, because i cant seem to sit still! i just need to do something constructive if not i get all emo, thinking life is meaningless =x i cant wait to start the next phase of my life - work!
