my thesis has been pretty smooth sailing thus far. i was lucky i got significant results and thus, didnt have to relook at other variables and i was able to start writing my thesis early. YAR. JUST WHEN U THOUGHT EVERYTHING SEEMS PLEASANT, SOMETHING JUST GOTTA HAPPEN.

I REALISED OUR CODINGS FOR TEMPERAMENT WERE REVERSED. so what was supposed to be coded as easy, we coded as difficult and vice versa. AND SO, MY RESULTS ARE NOW IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION AND NOW I GOTTA RETHINK ARGUMENTS FOR MY FINDINGS. ROARS. hate it when im just done drafting my discussion and happily sent it to my prof and this gotta happen.

and so i frantically emailed my prof and explained to her the possibility of our mistakes. and her reply was '.........................welll looking at the positive sides....you still have time to make changes' HAHHAA! she must had felt so speechless.

and when things like that happened, it stresses me like @#$%@$%^@$%^. don't like it when my schedules are disrupted. got so stressed yesterday i barely ate anything and HEY I LOST A KG. looking at the bright side =)

meijuan's mini birthday celebration! =))

i met joyce earlier just to get cakes for meijuan. and it was so funny because its the first time ever that i bought pandan cake (nono, not those ntuc pandan cake with a hole in e middle, abit more atas than that) for friends on a birthday =x joyce insisted on getting bengawan solo pandan cake to disturb meijuan and i was like...ermmm...u sure? i always associate pandan cake with my ah ma birthday =x haha! its like those elderly usually like to eat those pandan cake. BUT YA ANW. we bought a slice of pandan cake and coffee cake and joyce secretly passed it to the waitress at the place where we were dining.

and its really goood to hear mj finalllly get tog with cg. its like 3 long years of waiting and she's finally enjoying her fruits of labour. i admire her man. i don't know how many girls are willing to wait for a guy, and to wait with the possibility that there will not be any outcome. but yea, so mj is deeply in love now. hahahha! *thumbsup

after dinner, i went to the counter to get the waitress to serve the cake. AND TO MY SURPRISE, mj loves pandan cake! HAHAHAHH! well done joyce, u made the right choice =D

when u are getting sick and tired of doing your work.....u need some colours on ur nails =)

therapy with momo has been getting on pretty well, except for a few occasions in which he went uncontrollable. but he is still cute nonetheless =) i tried singing barney song to him and i kind of forgot the lyrics.

i love you
you love me
we are happy family
with a great big hug and a kiss from me to you
NO MORE PURPLE DINOSAUR (hahhaha! i really just sang that =x)

i got mixed up with the different versions of barney song apparently. hahah!

met bf to study in the afternooon before i left to meet my sis and her friends for dinner.
the bride and her bridesmaids =)

we tried out a couple of dresses. initially we were thinking of getting the same shade of colour but with different designs for the dresses, but ended up, everyone just decided to get the same dress. partly cox dresses in that shade of colour are limited and everyone seems to just fit in nicely with that same dress. so within an hour or two, we were done shopping for our dresses =)

met joyce to study at rochester starbucks!! BUT WE GOT CHASED AWAY =X anyway, i was really excited about going rochester bucks because i heard it was really awesome. But it was kind of a disappointment for me. abit over-rated i felt.

anyway, because bucks doesnt allow us to study, we headed to NTU alumni club. and we found this random spot to study.

hahah! like totally random right? but it was breezy and quiet. so we just made ourselves comfortable there =)

it was productive studying for the both of us =D awesome. and joyce made me fell for earl grey latte. yums. it has overtaken caramel macchiatto at the moment.

met up with joyce for dinnner and shopping ydae! =D seems as though we haven met for longgggg....

this is like a classic everytime we met up. a photo that sums up the day =)))

our so called artistic picture for the day. hehhh.

we were talking and it was then that i realised hey! working at stradi was 2 years ago!! i kept thinking it's like last year. it seems so recent to me. but yea, cheers to 2 years of friendship. =)
even though it was just a short meet up, but it was great catching up with joyce.

i should be doing workkkkk....but i just cant bring myself to do it. boooo.

did some work in sch ydae while waiting for bf to finish his meeting. its tuesday! so that means gelare waffle for dessert! yums!

the waffle looks abit lonely here without whip cream thou.

chilled for awhile at pacific coffee and we started to get bored, andddd sooo... we started looking silly in front of a macbk and started snapping photos....

HAHA! EPIC PHOTO OF THE DAY!

look. i need to get down to work on my thesis. roars.

i sat down in front of my laptop reading through what i've wrote all these while.....and i don't seem to be convinced by what i've written. damn.

i always feel insecure =(

vday present from bf!

vday present from me! it has a name, called spongebob.


we went watch shopping together last week, and we spent like 2 hours walking around just 4 to 5 shops before we finally decided on our watches. bf went down alone to collect the watches yesterday and because i needed to adjust the chain of my watch, he used his wrist as benchmark =x take it positively, his wrist is as SMALL as MINE. bleah.

done with exchanging of gifts and we shared this yummmy breakfast at tcc.

hey! ur first appearance on my blog =)

done with gifts and food before we finally settled down to do our thesis work till evening. I FEEL SO NOT CONFIDENT ABOUT MY THESIS. ITS.......cant find a word for it =( i just cant wait to get it over and done with. finish my 2 exams and GRAD!

headed thai express for dinnnnner before we headed home.

being with bf makes me laugh like how i laugh when im with fairies. its uncontrollable and i can laugh the entire day. its just so comfortable to be with you i just blabber nonsense all the time and look silly in front u. love you dear!

its vday with ben =)

plan A was aborted for plan B. so bf came to pick me up and we went grocery shopping for our jelly cheesecake =) we found recipe for it but it became pretty redundant because we practicallly changed the whole recipe.

we were supposed to use 50g of icing sugar but bf hse has neither icing sugar nor white sugar so we resorted to using brown sugar =x and because brown sugar is less sweet....we decided to add more of it. but bf hse has no weighing scale to measure so we use agaration, assuming 1 spoonful of brown sugar = 12g. and so we happily added 6 spoonful of it.

by right we had to dissolve gelatine in boiling water but we didnt use gelatine because that isnt vegetarian. so we had to omit that. and since brown sugar (compared to the original icing sugar) dun dissolve as well if we were to just add and stir with the creamcheese (supposed to stir in icing sugar with creamcheese), bf suggested why not just dissolve the brown sugar in boiling water since we gotta add the water (by right it should be gelatine mixed in water) to the creamcheese anyway. and we were supposed to add 40ml of water and again, bf hse has no measuring cylinder (i suppose their family seldom bake), so we assume again one cup = 100ml and we just halve it.

i call it our own recipe. hahahha! after using much of our assumption and agaration, SURPRISELY THE JELLY CHEESECAKE TASTED YUMMY STILL. OMG. how amazing is that. but the looks of it certainly seems unappealing. ahahhahaha!!!! cox i poured the jelly mixture too quickly onto the creamcheese before it totally solidify, so bits n pieces of creamcheese kind of floated around =x hhahahahahhaha! BUT YEA, STILL EDIBLE! just abit unpleasant looking.

headed for fries n ice cream at night and home!

plan B was awesome still because its ULTIMATE QUALITY TIME. ahahhah! and beause i get to make my jelly cheesecake too. heh.

i was googling for some images when i landed up on this blog site. http://hello-son.blogspot.com/search?updated-min=2012-01-01T00:00:00%2B08:00&updated-max=2013-01-01T00:00:00%2B08:00&max-results=18.

i just scanned through some of the entries and it kind of touches me for what the mum had done for her lost son.

emo nemo.

my life cant get any more exciting. first was root canal, then wisdom tooth extraction and now, im finally fit to sit in front of my laptop after lying in bed for the past 3 days recovering from what it seems to be a stomach flu =/ booooo! shall not elaborate the details. not too pleasant to hear =/ but thanks bf for being there, physically and mentally =) *hugs

anyway, as i was slping through the past 3 days, i had many many many many dreams. of which, was this reallly scary dream about having all my teeth falling out one by one =X AND ITS NOT THE FIRST TIME I HAD THIS DREAM. ITS LIKE I'VE BEEN DREAMING THIS SAME OLD DREAM FOR MANY TIMES. i wondered what it means to dream of falling teeth....and so i consulted my best buddy - google.

The typical dream scenarios include having your teeth crumble in your hands, fall out one by one with just a light tap (YESYES!! I DREAMT OF THIS!), grow crooked or start to rot. Such dreams are not only horrifying and shocking, but they often leave you with a lasting image of the dream. So what does it mean?

One theory is that dreams about your teeth reflect your anxieties about your appearance and how others perceive you. Your teeth help to convey an image of attractiveness and play an important role in the game of flirtation, whether it is flashing those pearly white, kissing or necking. Thus, such dreams may stem from a fear of rejection, sexual impotence or the consequences of getting old (!!!!!!!). To support this notion, a dream research found that women in menopause report to have frequent dreams about teeth. This points to teeth dreams as being related to getting older and/or feeling unattractive and less feminine. Teeth are an important feature to your attractiveness and how you are presented to others. Caring about how you look is natural and healthy.

Another rationalization for these falling teeth dreams may be rooted in your fear of being embarrassed or making a fool of yourself in some situation. These dreams are an over-exaggeration of your worries and anxieties. Perhaps you feel that you are unprepared for the task at hand. However, you will find that your worries are unfounded in most cases. Sometimes what plays out in your mind is far worse than what is reality.

Teeth are used to bite, tear, chew and gnaw. In this regard, teeth symbolize power. And the loss of teeth in your dream may be from a sense of powerlessness. Are you lacking power in some current situation? Perhaps you are having difficulties expressing yourself or getting your point across. You feel frustrated when your voice is not being heard. You may be experiencing feelings of inferiority and a lack of self-confidence in some situation or relationship in your life. This dream may be an indication that you need to be more assertive and believe in the importance of what you have to say.

further information from google.

Falling Teeth:
As bizarre as this dream may be don’t be alarmed because it’s quite common. Falling teeth points to all of our worries and anxieties that surround us in life and not being in control. If you are under a lot of pressure and is worried about the outcome its possible this dream may appear. Below are some hints on why your teeth are just falling out of your mouth.

* Stressed about your job situation. (yes, stress over thesis if u are referring to that)
* Fear of being impotent (huh?)
* Afraid looking stupid in front of people (self conscious maybe)
* Stress about looking older/trying to stay young (ehhh, not exactly)
* Have you lied to somebody (NO! im like how honest)
* Lacking power at work or relationship. (eh? no?)

Spitting Out Teeth:
Spitting out your teeth in dreams are pretty common and it generally happens to people who are older. This is an awful dream that feels very real and you don’t want to experience it again. This dream can mean that you are afraid of getting older and loosing your looks. In today’s society we fear getting old and Grey and there is a lot of emphasis on staying young, that’s why a dream like this can feel more real than anything. If your always concerned about your looks or afraid of getting old you will be getting this dream more than once in your life. Another meaning to this dream can imply that your are admitting something that you have held back for while and you expressed it in a direct manner. Some people have experienced illness in the family when they have dreams about there teeth falling out.

i only dreamt of falling teeth and spitting out teeth out of the many scenarios. HAHAH! oh man.

WISDOM TOOTH EXTRACTION! (i swear im contributing much of my savings to the dentists recently =/ ) and thats $900 for that 35mins surgery. wiped out my medisave nicely =(

my buffet of medication =x thats 11 pills in total. never in my life have i popped 11 pills into my mouth at one shot. yucks.

but thank goodness my cheek didnt swell after the surgery! still fit for class the next day. got freaked out by my sis when she did her wisdom tooth extraction because her cheek was so swollen it was as if she had a mega fishball in her mouth =x

i think my life has been pretty much eventful lately =x

and yes! went to nus career fair today with xinyi and rousi! omg. TELL ME WHATS MY PLAN AFTER I GRAD =x i have a path envisioned somewhere in my head but it might just not work as it should. soooo......howww....suddenly i just feel like continuing my studies. lets not work!

happpppppyyy chinese new year! =D

this is going to be the last time my er jie is going visiting together with us! boohoo. but it means i'll have one extra red packet. heh!

cousins!

chinese new year didnt really felt like one. i rmb i used to be reallly excited about chinese new year like 10years ago. but now, its just another day. everyone feels the same too?

i finally got my root canal treatment done. ok, at least part 1 of it.

i made my way down to paragon, and my sense of direction just wasnt working well as usual =x went rounds around paragon before i finally found my way at the endodontic office. i was like realllly nervous i don't know why. i wore my 'legs-hugging' leggings and covered shoes, supposedly good to make me feel reallly secure and safe, but they let me down still. haha! loser. anw, it took a good 45 mins for the endodontist to clear the infection/inflammation and then its done. $890 for that. damn. i swear im going to scrimp and save for at least a few months.

and now i need to remove my wisdom tooth =x *shiver

met up with joyce for lunch at rider's cafe =D its such a ulu pandan place i would definitely not have gone without a car. so thankfullly joyce drove and we headed to our destination. a pretty nice place but would have been better if not for the crowd. it was sooo packed with people AND I DIDNT GET TO SEE ANY HORSES GALLOPING OUT THERE! anyway, the food werent too bad and it was still nice sitting there catching up with one another.

headed to joyce's place next. our initial plan was to go town to shop but we were just too lazy. ended up lazing around her place.

and she painted my nails! =D

watched movie, talked, camwhored and that sums up tuesday!

MY VERY TIRED BUT FUN WEEKEND =D

celebrated my cousin's 21st at a chalet =) headed over after therapy on friday and met up with my other cousins. it has been a reallllly longgggggg time since we all met up. so we went out for a drink at night and played like little kids at the playground =D

my sisters and cousins! short of 3 cousins who missed the fun.

and there werent enough beds to fit us all. ended up the younger ones had to sleep in sleeping bags while the adults took the bed. I SWEAR THE FLOOR IS HARD LIKE ROCK. I HAD BRUISES ON MY RIGHT HIP =X and i felt the floor was seriously dirty i cant seem to slp in peace. and i had to tip-toe when i go to the toilet because i just didnt wan my feet to touch the toilet floor =x (yea, im very particular about the cleanliness of toilet. i rather not pee than pee in a dirty toilet). the above probably excludes going for a camp thou. if its a camp, i probably just sleep and the dirty floor wouldnt be of any concern. is like when u know u have an option, u get all picky. right?

didnt stay for the second night at the chalet because we had to take some family shots for my sis wedding the next day. and thereafter, i had to rush to therapy again. i secretly feel proud of myself. HAHAHAHA! cox i had therapy for 3 consecutive days and i had chalet and family shots in between. to think i still had the energy to last me through therapy.

that day momo was really funny. he is toilet training now so he didnt had diaper on during session. so there was once he stood up and started walking around. suddenly he went....

momo: i want open door
me: *thinking its task avoidance so i went 'momo continue work!'
momo: teacher teacher i want open doooooor
me: continue work!
momo: i want i want open doorrr (desperately turning the door knob)
me: what do you want?
momo: *pause awhile. TEACHER! I WANT TO GO SHHH SHHHH
me: HAHA! *quickly open the door
momo: *dashed to find maid to go toilet

momo is really cute. its like he has his way of expressing himself, but due to the lack of language, words that he says can mean many things and sometimes we dun really get it and misinterpret him and thats what happen with the above convo.

OK IM FEELING SLEEPY NOW.

met up with bf after therapy and this was my dinnnnnerrrrr.....i swear the peanut butter was this <-------------------------------> thick. HAHA! abit overwhelmed by the generous serving of peanut butter, otherwise it was all good =)

ok nth else to say. my aim was to show the THICK PEANUT BUTTER.

for once, im at home the whole day! =) been going out almost everyday. and so, i get to have my own quiet time today. it feels good to just laze around at home and do things at my own pace. watching tv for 3 hrs, napping for 3 hrs, waking up for a cup of ice coffee and going for a run thereafter =)

semester is starting all over againnnn! last sem to go before i grad! cant really decide whether to further my studies or start working. prob cant get in for masters anyway, the latter might be a better option thou. but work where??!!

HAPPPPY NEW YEARRRRR =DDDD

perfect site for a good view of the fireworks with boyfriend (yes, im officially introducing you to my blog). hee =D
