TOO BAD~!!!!!!

well, thanks to alex and fanis, they presented me a gift, personalised by them, aka the Chong thong. it was bought frm topshop and hand sewn by fanis.
so sweet rite! :)
the gift came along wif a really sweet smiley face card! will take a pic of my presents after my bday..

ok so today's officially my dad's bday.. sadly he doesnt quite hav the priviledge (unlike me..ahem!) to celebrate or enjoy our day on a public holiday! haa! :P but nonetheless, he can still relax the day after la.. so trade off kinda thing..
it's been 2days since the end of my exams. wad a relief.
it has been relaxing and easy going so far.. jus wanna enjoy and rest. take a lil each time. towards the end of this week, i'll start tinking of proper plans for the 7weeks or so ahead.
also to plan grace's return.

today (sunday 301005) i was out wif jon yeow.. was nice to catch up wif dis buddy .. jon as most wud noe has been my buddy n personal advisor for the past 3yrs, all thru poly. been thru so much together. n he's always been dere for me thus far.
it's nice to see him now n den, considerin we both r at diff pts in our lives rite now. it was grt seeing him today.
tinking abt it, dere's jus so much i miss abt being younger..

today, in the evening i was at parkway havin dinner wif my parents n sis, KCP was havin a fund-raising event outside Watsons area..
it was so heart warming to see so many little girls walking ard in dat familiar uniform, tryin to get pple to purchase products frm dem. din quite recognise most of the teachers dere tho.. haha it's been a long time la i noe..

but i must say it was nice to hav seem them. i miss KC days.. miss the teachers, miss the masses, miss the prayers, miss the graces we sing after each recess, miss the food, miss the canteen layout, miss the galleria where we wud always meet to skip or play zero pt, miss the hopscotch area, miss the hall where we played 5 stones toward the end of recess, miss the classrms, miss the music rms, miss the library (used 2 b a librarian), miss the back of the hall where i had to set up the mic for assembly (used to b an AVA monitor..gee), gosh! i miss so many things!

it's been 8yrs since i left primary sch but so much of those memories r still very much embedded in my head n heart. times jus arent the same anymore.
sis n i felt so patriotic after seeing those girls so we decided to buy a packet of 10 inspirational cards @ $5 and a dual-ink pen @ $2 dat has a katong convent on it. haa. all in e name of charity la i suppose. a culture so strong, will nvr ever die.

i feel so happy and proud seeing those primary sch girls, hearing them laugh, seeing how enthusiastic they were in selling to the public at 8+pm. they hav been there both yesterday and today, frm 10am to 9pm. poor girls. but i guess they enjoyed it.

well, today was a nice day la. i enjoyed myself. =)
tmr's jus gonna b stay hm den dinner wif parentals n sis.
brazilian buffet along sixth ave. hmm.. wonder how dat's gonna turn out!
but 1 thing's for sure! i super cant wait for my jap buffet!!!!! haa! :P
dun i sound super greedy... oh my gdness me thinks i better do smthg abt my diminishing waist man... haiiiii

so till next time! hav a nice week! ;)

i hate pple who r CONSISTENTLY/ALWAYS late.
i've got a fren, who calls herself a gd fren, who obviously make it a pt to be late every time we meet and has a thousand n 1 bloody excuses for being late, blames the whole society EXCEPT herself.
best part is, when she decides not to show up, she has no courtesy to msg/call, no sense of respect or responsibility.
once, twice ok nvm provided valid reasons.
but for being late EVERY SINGLE time, i tink dats way out of line.
and she's always late for more then half an hr.
u tink saying SORRY is alrite? jus brush it off every time? u tink WE dun hav temper? u tink WE dun feel shitty for having to wait for u so many times?
if u dun hav ANY INTENTION of meeting den DONT!
dun msg or call den say u wanna meet but end up NOT SHOWING UP.

Back from Bali

hello everyone!
i is back frm Bali le..
sadly din accomplish much frm shopping.. however, i'm glad i did make dis trip down south.

Bali is as beautiful as ever. i'll miss e place for sure.
cant wait to go dere again.. perhaps next hols? :P
parents r overall pleased wif the trip,
eventho sis n i had a really really difficult time convincing my mum to go,
(but in e end she still came along) she loved the place. =)

thank god for our safe trip dere and back.

NOTE: Garuda kinda sucks.
sat in the boeing 737-400
F.Y.I: for the benefit of those who duno wad model dat is.. it's e plane wif the 3-aisle-3 seats. really small plane.
the ride to Jakarta was AWFUL... upon reaching CGK, we were led to wrong parts of the airport for transit 3 times! when we finally reached the right transit hall, we had to wait a really long time b4 we cud take our domestic transfer to DPS.
F.Y.I: the connecting flight to DPS, using the same 737-400 had only 26 pax in total.. sad huh?
*SIGH* k la indonesians.. usually work at dis pace.. slow.
us sporeans r jus too used to the fast paced life u c

a huge sigh of relief upon reaching DPS.. was so so glad to be in Bali
love dat island.
ok i'm getting a bit tired to fill in so much details
lets jus cut to the chase.

Bali was great, lyd had hardly any money to spend, bought few things, cos din like the idea of spending dad's money, enjoyed her trip, learnt alot more abt the Balinese culture, love the resort she was living in, met new pple (the locals working in e resort), visited new places, visited Kuta Square (the bomb site) and took pictures (will post dem soon), had a great holiday, had fun, missing dat place alr and will return dere soon.

Lyd's off to Bali

alrite so dis is the last post before i fly off to Bali tmr morn.
Peace to all.
hope everyone enjoys their week ahead
pls do pray for my family's safety..
altho i'm pretty sure everything will be ok
but the transit at Jakarta's Intl Airport is a wee bit dodgy..
so lets jus hope God will watch over and protect us.

yup so study hard everyone.. esp those having exams soon.. dun b like me, 3 weeks b4 exams still got mood to go holiday
i'll b struggling when i return for sure
head too full of air to study.. haha

yup.. so take care everyone.
i'll update u guys again once i'm back =)

messed up

ok 1st up, i wud like to say dat......
I dreamt of Taufik!!!!!
heh? the damn spore idol laaaaa... haii..
dun ask me how or why him but its jus him la ya.. so..
oh well.. dreamt dat he asked me out..

muahahahahahahahahahahaha *lmao*
______________________________________________________

ok next is..
after having a nice chat wif Sir Daltz last nite
i wud like to post a statement dat he make
he said
sometimes when a girl needs u to be dere, jus be dere. nuff said.
no need to question why or intentions

how cool is dat?
dis is jus 1 of the reasons why i will always respect him.
looking back, he has always been dere for me no matter wad. no questions asked.
he is rite.
generally speaking, when a fren needs u to be dere, dere's no need for how come, why, what happened etc. dun b a kaypo..
when ure needed jus be dere. fullstop
no need to ask long ask short.

sometimes, presence of company is wad's most impt.
i still rem back in my KC days.. dats how it all went
pris was best at dat back den.
everytime we hav a problem, for example me,
danielle, ryna, alifya, michelle, kim, erica and pris will jus b dere
beside me, saying nthg but jus telling me its alrite.
comforting me n eventually cracking me up again.

this is why i will always rem my kc babes.
thru all those times, scoldings and public punishments..
i must say dat some of my kc frens hav come n gone.
but memories will always stay.
i will nvr trade my memories and experiences for anything else in dis world.
___________________________________________________________

well.. in recent weeks, many events have been happening world wide
doesnt directly concern me but i must say i do feel affected by it
those dat r gonna tell me 'dont tink so much' etc, save it
i'm not gonna b indifferent.
everyone is jus watching the world fall apart b4 our very eyes and we individuals cant do anything. i know.
but perhaps we shud all pray for God to deliver us out of this mess.
its an awful terrible mess.
why this? why now?
in the bible, revelations, God is coming. we all know dat.
but is this all really a sign from God?
perhaps so i believe.
we shud all be vigilant. pray hard and repent.
no pt living in regret and feeling sorry for ourselves.
self pity's gonna lead us no where.

yesterday evening's rosary session was really good i felt.
God held up the rain for us until we finished the rosary session.
God is good.
as soon as we finished, it started drizzling, den rain.

well, my heart, mind and prayers go out to the Balinese pple..
they are all innocent pple.. i jus dun understand why they hav to be in dis mess..
in those fuckers wanna bomb, go bomb demselves bcos they hav sinned terribly.
taking innocent lives like dis.
is dis the teaching of Allah? of cos not.
crazy ass holes.
wad holy war? they shud go bang their heads on the wall these crazy fuckers.
to tink ramadhan is coming up n they do dis.
ya perhaps its their last few days b4 they cannot 'sin' anymore..
BULLSHIT.

now we can only pray that God will make a way when there seems to be no way.
for all of us who r enjoying our lives out dere, mayb u shud stop having fun for once and tink abt those suffering n be mindful and thankful that we r all safe.
hope everyone has a peaceful nite.

PISSED
