suddenly i feel so blue.
maybe because yiqiao just msged to say she cant meet me later.
or maybe its cause some of the atmosphere here's rubbing off on me.
or because that thosai just now seems to be having problems travelling down to my stomach, and i think one whole thosai is just too much for me.

oh, and yiqiao just msged again, its cause she doesnt want to go out.
aw bleahh.

or maybe its because he hasnt msged. noidontlikehim, not yet. i know myself yar. and i know its because he's from the effing opposite sex and that's why i get so sensitive about it.
maybe its because i dread taking buses, or rather, the waiting part. because its so awkward to take out glasses to look at the numbers. yesiknowwhatishoulddo. shuddupalready.
and i will have to take a bus later.

poof. where's the love man.

okay. maybe it all is because i know by 1st march, twoish, my life would be all messed up. and it'd become something i dont even know anymore. and big freaking changes would have to happen.

i know what di means by 'missing the noise - or rather the music'.
we have a job. and the main part of the job? well. warming the green desk-chairs for six hours straight is like, top priority. and, keeping the keyboard keys totally mobile by clicking away at it, for, you got it, six hours straight.
basically, it translates into slacking.
you're going, "aww. shuddup already."
but even I'm surprised that ill be saying this ever, but god, do i hate slacking. sucks as a job, sucks to do it six hours straight, sucks to have to watch our computer screens and listen to the whirr of the air-conditioner forever as the sands of time trickle s-l-o-w-l-y. -___-
okayy. we were just summoned to di's mom's office to help her out in chinese song titles. hahha.

enough of whining. now plaster a huge smile upon that dull face of yours.
anyway, its not that bad. at least me and di got to play stewpid games we never would have in normal busy life. like, shen-dan-lao-ren-bu-xu-dong! (translates to Santa Claus, Do not move!) god, i do suck at translating.
ahh shit, we even had an online conversation.
mind you, we were in such close proximity we could have reached out and touched each other.
but all the same, it was quite funny. i was in stitches a lot. hahhahhhahhahahhahah.

yesterday was my second date! wheeeeeeee. (this is for mab and ros to read. hhaha. so i dont have to answer too many questions on monday.)
we were at some arabian restaurant, Cool stuff !!
shared a itsy-bitsy meal, which came with its solo set of cutlery and straw, with the hibiscus drink. ahh, not everybody's as considerate as that SFC sugarcane guy.
walked through dark people-less alleys, and there was this part where there were 3 guys taking stupid shots of each other, and further down, there was an old man trying to photograph this cat. We-ird.
a lot of silences, awkward sometimes i guess.
and i was always the reason for all the quiet times. i remember me at one point, wishing more than ever i was born a loud girl, always chirping away. but nahhh. im me. sucha bad date.
but he was super gentlemanly. like always. all that saving me from dangerous vehicles, offering the cushions, the back-to-wall seats. blah blahh. he's always been like that since looooong ago. and its all goood.

once again, we four are throwing our stupiiiiidd work aside for some much-needed girlfriend-bonding. I MISS YOU ALLLLLL. (okayy. maybe i dont really miss di. HAHHAHA. KIDDING LAR. you are not allowed to punch me babuseng.) MONDAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY. me and mab and di are positively hating our jobs now. its funny to me now. hurrrr. and ros went mad with all her colleagues that day because it was just soooooo BUSY!!! (busy? what's that?)

SO. sooooooooooonnnnnnn. sooon we'll get back those dreaded (said-dread gradually ebbing away though.) As results. and then it'll be time for a change. and for decisions. life-changing decisions. S-caryyyy.

i used up about half an hour writing this entry!! wooo. this is a good time-waster. watch out for more and more frequent blog entries. yayy.

so very bored once again at work. while di reads my super-kiddy book 'i am the wallpaper'. i am waiting for her to gather her courage to return me the book with a very polite "err. i think its just not really my cup of tea. but it seems nice!". hahaha. booooooo for pathetic books.
oh and we met shiqin just now at sembawang hills FC. woohooooo. mondayyy.
ay, i am going to go blind blogging in bright yellow font, but no other colour seems to work. any suggestions?
what am i thinking. nobody even reads this blog. SOBS.
if there ARE some unknown readers, please tag!! im probably going to regret this very much when i return to the blog and see no tags and be very embarrassed at having confirmed my dismal existence myself.

sakuraino naigawa. dum dum dee dum dee dum laaaaa.
so bored. superrrrrrrrrrr bored. i just viewed over two thousand (i think) photos of this strangergirl i only know as di's friend. and i read like about thirty blog entries of hers? now it feels like ive known her for ages.
im at work. believe it or not. but i guess many out there will be going, "soo shuang larrr. get to slack." yarr true. and how often is it you get to work beside your girlfriend, and having you two's own personal office. but sometimes, our other colleagues do forget to inform us what to do next, and then conveniently take leave. (I AM TALKING ABOUT YOU, JUDY DE WENROU ONE.) and so when we are so fed up with slacking, i start stoning and my eyeballs start rolling around uncontrollably as my fingers click on the next button on the screen as photos of strangers flicker, and di starts to slump over her desk and her head rolls forward and her eyelids fall shut. THIS is when we need some work, something that will be constructive towards Nanyang institute of management. hahah. unless using up computer electricity about three hours a day benefits the school in some unknown ways.
but i gotta be thankful. but stilllll. JUDDDYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY.
there's acjc carnival this saturday. but i hardly know anyone there. soooo. hmm.
vday presents!! when we gonna exchange ours hur, mab/di/ros???
i got yiqiao's present to me, yesterday when we met up for a late-night supper and chat-about-her-uber-not-sweet-vday-date at Jurong Point. the packaging was soooooo nice. and yiqiao didnt even have to wrap it. hmm. photos up when i get my other presents.
and there was a letter for me. written when i was at her house, doing my stuffs for the girls. i made myself not open it all the way till i had bathed and was the only one awake at my house. and then i peeled the cute best-friend sticker apart and took out the letter that has been coloured so nicely and i can just tell how much effort went into it, from the way she styled my name with coloured thread and stuck them onto the front of the envelope with superglue. plus making a tiny pink ribbon too for the letter. and i know she does all this because she knows im a sucker for nice packaging.
I LOVE LEE YIQIAO. :) ill post pictures of her when by some miracle, i learn how to transfer photos from my phone to the computer. i really think she's super pretty, and totally deserve all her uni-pervert/cute-boys encounters. i never get sick of her cute face. :)
im still on my way to finishing my presents for the four girls. im like, only half-way done. ohhh crap. i would have brought it to work to work on it, if not for the simple fact that di, the one sitting beside me seven hours everyday, is one of the four lucky girls who'll be receiving my super prettyy-sweet vday present.
hahha. i shouldnt get your hopes up hor.
arghhhh. im crapping a lot, because its still a long way till 6.30pm. and we have to leave at 6.30 and not 6 today, because we took a hour and a half long lunch break, journeying all the way to S11 foodcourt beside Jubilee for the yummilicious western food. yummm. the sweet beans, the nicely-grilled chicken, the crispy hot fries. yummm. and ice lemon tea is my personal favourite beverage there now.
OHH. and di was having a panic attack just now, and attacked me, all because i viewed her
ST NICKS PROM PICS. was looking for her at the background, because i was viewing the prom photos of her SN friend. did manage to catch a sneak preview of her SN-look. but then she was only like a thumb long in the photo. imagine that. so it was blur and alll. but aha. i finally got to this photo where she was posing beside the owner of the album, with the caption, "me and diana(so cute lar can!)" hahahha. SO CUTEEEEEEEEEEEE. yar. that was when di (beside me) went a bit berserk and attempted to take apart my arm. cute wad. heehee.
argh. alright. shall finish my crapp. and ros, how's your health??

this has got to be one of the sweetest valentine's i have ever had.

it was a mad rush of activities at first, what with a spontaneous stay-over at yiqiao's house to do up my vday gifts for mab, di,ros and qiao. and so, me and yiqiao were in the living room. me doing my gifts for my GIRLfriends, and she writing a vday letter to her guy. (and a secret one for me, that sweet girl.) and then at 12 midnight she called alex up, because it was his birthday. on vday! yarr. and so she was in the dining area talking softly away, while i worked hard on my stuffs in the dead of the night. heh. no clues there girls. it was about three to four when we both finally pulled out the mattresses to the living room and K.O-ed. its been a long time since ive been at yiqiao's place, and it was sweet to be there.

next morning vday! mad rush back home to bathe and change and it was ten minutes after that i stepped out all fresh and clean. but thanks to the crazy 34 deg celsius weather i was not sweat-free for long. and so the long MRT ride to Somerset. soooo many couples along the way. sooo many pretty bouquets in girls' arms.

then me mab and di went ahead with our agenda, all around town. Cineleisure, Heerens, Bugis, Dhoby Gaut.

me and mab getting our cart-icecream treat from mummy di, along the roads of orchard. (seriously embarrased moment there, di.) having neoprints shot, once again caught unawares. (actually this was only the second time we took neoprints.) us in our pretty cool daytona machines, bishi-bashi-ing away and me lucking out at the win-a-gift place. (i seriously thought i was gonna get the oriental handphone when the light stopped at +4 spot. but the machine's probably rigged.)

and then we arrived at Fish & Co. glasshouse. that was where all the sweetness of Vday seeped in. the queue was super long, there should be an estimated number of hundred people queueing up for dinner. but the wait is so worth it. we got way too lucky in the Glasshouse, getting to change seats thrice.
First seats were right in front of the live band. damn cool stuff they play, and everyone in the house (both storeys) was pretty enthusiastic about dedications and many requests for songs. so we joined in too, but too bad 'Heaven Knows' by Rick Price was deemed too old by the vocalist. you know, we had to borrow a pen to write the dedication, so we did, from this prettty malay lady beside us. but halfway through writing, she gotta leave, and we were like, "ohh. okay okayy. here's your pen!" but she was like, "oh no. its okay! you guys keep it!" with a really sweet smile. awww. everyone was being oh-so-warm in the Glasshouse.
The second seats were rocky and dark and near the kitchen, so we requested for a change.
The third seats had us near to many couples. and then! something i only saw in shows happened right before me. its like suddenly while the vocalist was reading out another dedication, she started walking down towards our side of the Glasshouse. and then all too soon she was just beside me, and everyone in the place had swivelled around in their seats to get a good look. she then handed the microphone to the guy at the table right next to ours. and he said, "Jasmine, there's something i want to say. Will you marry me?" to the lady across his table. everyone, plus us, in the house were hooting and cheering for the lady to say yes. and she did! drama-rama yar. but the weirdest thing was, after that the vocalist walked back to the small platform and sang 'survivor'. huhhh??
and then after an hour, (we were there THAT long. hee.) another guy at the table right behind us read a love note into the microphone to his furiously-blushing girlfriend. cant remember the contents, but there was a lot of 'baby', 'beautiful', 'love you' in it. hehh. mushy mushhhhh!
we toasted our waterglasses to FRIENDSHIP. :)

and then a lovely rose came with the bill at the end. Awww. we love you too, Fish&Co.

it was the food we went there for, but we went away with more than a full stomach.


it was a perfect night in all ways, except that ros couldnt join us. Boooo. get well girl!

hey, u think someone will invent a service that prints online blogs out, and files every entry in a pretty folder. ill really appreciate that, cant stand the fact that all my memories are somehow stored in this big, untouchable system.
dang, i feel bummed out. Hah. ive finally found a phrase for what im feeling.
yesterday at midnight, i stayed over at my aunt's house with a few cousins and my brother. left my aunt's house just now, and already i miss Buddy! booo.

his harmless bites, the faint dog-smell around him. mann, the way his short brown fur feels when i comb them with my fingers. his soft, velvety lion-paws.

when i came out of the bath just now, i half expected Buddy to come bounding up, with his red ball-ball between his baby teeth.

but i wouldnt like to be my cousin or angela (they own the puppy.). knowing that i'd lose buddy in about fifteen more years at most would be horrid. the years with him would probably never make up for all the grief that comes after he dies of old age. (which is the best-case scenario, as compared to traffic accidents, getting lost, being critically ill.) in fact, the years of memories would haunt me for life.

actually its the same for everything else. like, your loved ones. but already ive got so many, and the probability of losing any one of them is high if you think hard about it. wouldnt want to increase this statistic.

not owning a pet would be fine.
