idle

i've consumed almost all my fave food once since im back
so im quite bored now..

waiting for bro's wedding to arrive
cleaning up the house
helpin mom with household chores
practising a song over n over again
met up with frens
trying to be creative
'basa basi' with relatives

so now im motivated to learn things, ie
photography
cooking
perhaps i should go n learn driving or knitting
hahaha..
plans will always be plans..

i think i want to earn lotsa $ in near future
suddenly feel that being poor is so uncomfortable
after watching indo tv channels
demonstration and riots
poverty here and there
crimes and social disorder
economic dependency..

ok i shall eat my lunch now..
i helped with the cutting of tomatoes and carrots..hahaha..
a great start for my 'learn cooking' plan..

home sweet home

and now i am back at home
yes. in medan.
no other word to explain but 'happy'
and i never have a chance to feel hungry at all
always fed with food incessantly
oh..i am really going to get fat
just like in sher's dream.
haha

the riots and demonstrations (rising oil price) somehow spoilt my mood
burning of this and that
the road was blocked and stuff
but it's okay now.

i talked to ajo, the sate padang guy
and asked him why are all the sate padang sellers called 'ajo'
and he said that 'ajo' means 'brother= abang'
ooooouu..now i know

btw my house has been upgraded
it is nice to engage new environment once in a while
new colour, new arrangements, new furniture, new TV set.
wohoo.. and of course this was done only coz my bro is getting married

oh..and i met old friends yesterday and gg to meet them again tml
had a nice sit down chat and gossips.
then one friend puked at some restaurant.
ehmm, she wasnt feeling well..
hope the cleaners didnt mind all the vomit
(sorry to disgust those who were eating too)
get well soon, dear... =)

ok and now i should watch Man U vs Chelsea championship..
tata..

beyond the small country

olala..i'm now in KL
having nothing to do is really fun
wake up whatever time i want
sleep whenever i wish

and now i am going genting highlands
since it's too late to go theme park now
so should i gamble?

shopping was fun too in KL
things are really cheaper down here
the night always feels young
2am and the streets are still hectic
ate naan cheese at 3 am on my 1st day
a sign that i am gg to gain weight soon

bye.

the countdown

5 hours 42 minutes and 28 seconds more..
and then i will head out of singapore

but in the meantime
i should continue packing
go and withdraw some cash
charge my phone battery to its fullest
and clean my table
and keep all the clothes that are still suntanning outside

sometimes i wonder
am i dead inside?
yup, juz like chandler...
that bad that we have to read chicken soup for the soul
juz to check whether a drop of tear could appear
aaahh..maybe im thinking too much

ok back to packing..
adios.
au revoir.
sayonara.
再见!
goodbye.

if loving you is wrong, then i don't want to be right...

feeling ecstatic
excited
going to malaysia tonight
and going home monday
but haven't done packing
any helpers??

will be leaving s'pore for a month
wont be seeing many people for some time
i will miss them...i think
hope everyone will take good care of themselves
coz i will definitely..

emptying my stomach now
and soon stuff it with:
mom's cook
the deliciously unhealthy indonesian streetfoods
sate padang, nasi padang, kwetiau, duck beehoon, martabak, sup sumsum

and so i miss my dad, mom, and bros..
and on my last day in s'pore i'm addicted to crosswords
what's tt all about?
.

and have i mentioned about the sadistic death of the baby birds?

the cat ate them!!

i guess it cant be helped...

that's juz the foodchain taking place..

no wonder heaven is filled with happy birds flying freely

and not cats

.

something new i learnt recently

i learnt how to ride a motorbike..

the big one like harley

and so my feet can touch the ground

thrilling and almost hit a van and people

how brave was i huh?

.

oh..and i learnt a little bit of tennis too..

i guess the old saying is true

it's never too late to learn..

a summary of my life this weekend:

friday : cee outing

a very happening nite indeed

ate yummy indonesian food

watched harold n kumar and laughed out loud

took over 400 pics altogether

somehow love this photo a lot

looks like the cover of a CD album

photo taken by: stanley goh

.

delicious but challenging at the same time

struggled with the yummy ribs

thanks, mr tani! =)

a grande looking temple that looked juz like a painting

couldnt resist

juz had to capture it in camera and post it here

.

rows and rows of lanterns with wishes

for success, wealth, health

i guess vesak day is near

.

sunday night: CEE dinner and dance
elegant 8 course dinner at meritus mandarin hotel
plus i ate the portion for 2 people
4 bowls of sharkfin!!
how greedy could i get?

.

something funny that Phoebe said:

"If you want me to e-mail you about my upcoming shows, please give me some money so that i can buy computer."

and so i am officially free

a mission: how to save a bird

"hang on tight, Chandler"

and then he was saved.

a miracle indeed.

the end of EID: Presentation 08.05.08
"Vote for group 24!"
But in the end, didnt win enough votes to win top 10.
nevertheless , it's all over.
bonafide freedom!
no more meetings with uncooperative group mates.
no more guilt and late arrival due to oversleeping.
maybe i should still say this, thank you everyone for all the efforts!

"pegs as subject matter"
just learned this blur background effect today.

"a candle loses nothing if it is used to light another one"

a hot day

Yummy-ly..had good dinner
at this Mouth Restaurant, Chinatown Point:
Sharkfin soup.
Cold Plate: Prawn, Duck, Crispy thing, Char Siew.
Vege+ Mushroom.
Steam Fish.
Roasted Chicken.
Curry Crab.
Noodle.
Mango Pudding.

Before dinner managed to clock in $35 for a meeting.
Then went for impromptu 'prawning' at japanese garden.
Caught my first prawn ever.
It was fun.
Realised that patience is indeed the key to prawning.
Plus skill, of course.

Joke of the day:

Two Govender's were sitting outside a clinic.
One of them was crying like hell.
So the other asked, "Why are you crying?"
The first one replied, "I came here for blood test"
Second one asked, "So? Are you afraid?"
First one replied, " No, not that. During the blood test they cut my finger"
Hearing this, the second one started crying & screaming.
The First one was astonished and asked other, "Why are you crying?"
The other replied, "I have come for my urine test."

art

a lot of things have happened ever since my last post.
celebrations.
birthdays.
movies.
treats.
delicious food.
prayers.
.
today is slightly different from usual.
more or less trying to be artistic.
made 2 pairs of earrings with limited resources.
took artistic pictures with the readily available subjects.
rearranged tables and put up posters.





tomorrow going for a meeting to earn a few dollars.
then eat free 9 course dinner for main comm appreciation dinner.
feel so appreciated...

then it's about time to think about EID.
only left exactly 1 week.

still happily holiday-ing in KL?
having exam?
haizz..they better work hard when showtime comes.
