Finally. I've settled all my modules. It gets harder every year, I swear. And every year I forget what the graduation requirements are. So I have to dig up the 05/06 NUS Bulletin from the depths of the website and trawl through the 300-something pages.

Well, I've fulfilled [or am about to fulfill] all the specified requirements, so the rest just need to be filled in by UEs, which are essentially anything, right?

And with 900 points in my general account, I pray to God I'll get Chinese II this year.

Life sucks actually, but I don't like blogging about negative stuff like I once said. So I keep everything light and airy here.

I've started eating granola cereal at least once a day. Not intentionally, but it's such a yummy snack that now I look forward to when there's nothing to eat, so I can eat my granola with milk. Yums.

I'm not working anymore, pasal malas and I need a real break before school starts. But you know, when school starts, obviously I'll start working again. I just need an escape now, that's all.

I'm poor and I'm bored, so if anyone is boxed in by similar circumstances, please ask me out for a cheap date.

Love, me.

p.s. I was browsing through my labels and realised that I really miss MBB. I hope he'll be around when we get back to school.

Last night was the most exciting night of my life!

Okay no, but it was one of the most exciting nights I've had in a long time.

Leaving carpark from work at around one, and was snared in a roadblock at that same carpark. Was virtually ignored by everyone, until one dude decided to ask me whether I'd been cleared.

It was hot though. There were like three expressway patrol cars [or whatever], maybe three ROV bikes and two TP bikes. And there were more of them around the area. A few drivers being delayed pasal keretas modified sangat I suppose. Riders kena marah for tinted helmets. One car drove in and one of the officers quipped, "Wah this one confirm bring back one la!"

I was completely clean, btw. HA!

Went to Vivo and waited outside St. James and OMG, three TPs pulling up next to us. Again, ignored, and buat semak, so I sat down on the kerb and pulled out my handphone. I was quite annoyed by this time. Finally the third dude was done with my friend so I stood up and he smiled at me. In an instant all my annoyance evaporated and my heart melted at the same time and I smiled nervously back at him. He checked my papers, pronounced me good to go, and OMG again, that smile!

I couldn't resist so I snapped a photo when he wasn't looking. This means, of course, that it's a photo of his back, but WHO CARES? I just want a memento of that pleasant encounter. His name, btw, is Ahmad Elmi, which is so cute macam dier jugak! And I'm sorry if he's macam married or something, but Zul [who's married] told me there's nothing wrong with that, SO THERE.

I really hope we meet again [under similar pleasant circumstances], Ahmad Elmi.

[Oh yeah that was followed by Mount Faber, a teeny amount of supper, fifteen minutes waiting at the road shoulder, and finally home.]

I feel like doing an Awun and screaming at the TV, "WHAT love? WHAT love?!?!"

But other than that, I'm great, thanks for asking.

I went shopping with the welcome accompaniment of Hanom-Banom just now, and I actually maxed out my debit card and had to borrow a hundred bucks from her. Thanks Hanom.

We had lunch at Fish & Co. Served by the weirdest waiter in the world. And I'm being kind. When he first spoke to us, I swear I thought he was taking the mickey. But he kept up the gay-step-stewardess-complete-with-slight-bow-and-emotive-words act the WHOLE time. I was really quite unnerved. And Hanom was no help. The moment he opened his mouth, she was already getting ready to laugh. Oh Ali was there. He is still too, too adorable.

Yesterday was a night at Simpang after so long. It was lovely. I'd almost forgotten how much I love that place. Cute mats everywhere, like we don't get at store. A couple of them attempted to tail us home, but gave up halfway for I don't know WHAT reason!!! Ohwells. Anyways, slenger dude told us that Fakhrul's on holiday, so I can't wait till he gets back to work.

I can't believe school's starting soon. Not looking forward to it, really. And I'm so poor now it's not even funny.

I was at the carpark after work at around one in the morning, and I was smiling to myself because there was a pair of TP hanging around the carpark to conduct checks on the cars. I found it SO HILARIOUS because
(a) not only were there at least two large groups of people hanging around furtively, unwilling to get into their clearly-souped-up cars for fear of being inspected,
(b) but also because I really do hate these groups of earsplitting-engine cars that meet up in that carpark and then go zooming off somewhere else, in a creeping, annoying, noisy line. Like I'm not deaf enough already.

I mean, I actually saw one of the TPs under the hood of a car. Gahahahahaha. Good job! At least I know they're doing something other than antagonising me in the middle of the night at freaking Lim Chu Kang.

Okay, sorry. But really, the groups of modified cars really annoy me! They're noisy, step, AND they blind me to no end with their stupid high-intensity whatever foglights. HELLO. Did I miss any weather reports of foggy conditions? Takder pon. And you can't say I'm being hypocritical because Baby is a black bike with normal lights and I don't have an annoying speaker either. PLUS I don't ride around in groups of ten, blocking three lanes of major roads in the process. *nyehnyeh*

Oh dear this really turned into a tirade against annoyingbodykittedsportscars, didn't it? Well. I speak out against PDA too, sometimes. So. Haha. [If you don't get it, it's fine.]

I really think I should stop being so hate-able at work. I get annoyed at the stupidest things, and then I get annoying myself. Like the other day, a deaf customer who refused to respond to my calls of his java chip frap. So I went: "Hi, java chip frappuccino! [no response] Hi, java chip frappuccino! [no response] Hi, java chip frappuccino! [no response]" I was actually about to launch into a third chant, but Don made me stop. And the cute guy infront of him was laughing.

Today I was annoyed again. I made two venti chocolate cream chips and I was calling them out. "Chocolate cream chip! [no response] [in two decibels lower] Okay, ignore me.." YZ had a talk with me after that because apparently the guy was there and he was sniggering. Wow, you can snigger at my comments but you can't respond when I call your drink?

I haven't seen Dan in awhile, I wonder where he disappeared to.

The US Navy is in town. You can always tell. They're in the trains, in the clubs, in my store asking for white chocolate mocha and paying with Navy credit cards. It always breaks my heart a little to say that we don't have white chocolate in Singapore. I mean, having tasted the Spinelli's one--and subsequently drinking at least one each day--it's my favourite, too.

I missed venti no-whip add-sleeve caramel frap guy today because he came by earlier, apparently. =( He's really such a pleasant fixture to look at. I hope he'll be around tomorrow.

Okaylah tu je. I've been wanting to go for a secret shopping spree [secret because my boyfriend shouldn't know about it] but seriously, no time. I wake up just in time for work, and by the time I'm done, the shops are closed. I've been wanting to eat at Fish&Co too, but same setback.

Excuse me, cute guys, please apply at SB-LT. I'm dying of boredom and non-hesitation here. And "Can you STOP hiring girls?!?!" has become a daily chant by me to the managers.

Well that's it bye.

Ha! I'm back!

Both Caramel Brothers are here, I am so in love right now it's not even funny. But if I really had to choose, I'd pick the younger one. Both of them are waaay cool without even trying, but the younger one is hip-hoppy. The older one looks like he might crush me in bed [if he even deigned to get in bed with me, which is so not happening, so don't worry], so that makes him second pick.

My brother is stuck at home with chicken pox, and guess what. I've never actually had chicken pox before in my life, so I'm kind of at risk here. They say it gets more unbearable as you grow older. And although I had a chicken pox vaccine before one of my major exams [Primary Six or Sec Four], I'm still a little worried.

Oooh. Yesterday I finally hit Ikea Tampines since it opened. It's huge. There was this four-poster bed display that I fell in love with. It's just so fresh and charming. And there was a $600 rocking-sofa-chair which I almost bought with my own money. Once you get on it, you'll never want to get up. They're discontinuing the line, so if I really want to get it, I better get it quick. If any hot, rich guys out there are secretly in love with me, now's the time to come out, okay?

I have mottled [?] skin from a five-hour tanning session. It's so sad. I hope that one day it'll get back to normal. You know, if there's any disease I might die of, I think it would be skin cancer.

I haven't watched any movie in months, it feels. So sad.

OOOOOOOHHH on Saturday the hockey boys were in store. You know, Aidil and friends. Unfortch, I only know Aidil personally, so too bad. Haha. But I have to say, seeing a certain Pasir Ris-ian again was great. He still looks as hot as he ever did. I'm trying to recall the details involving the first time I saw him, but I can't seem to. It wasn't on the train, right? That was another guy. Hmmm.

Sometimes I miss those public transport days. Just sometimes.

Speaking of public transport, yesterday I was on 12 home from City Hall, and a few banglas were on it too. Then there was this chinese auntie-ish [around 30s or 40s, I know she has a talking son] who I swear was trying to pick up one of them. She was basically making conversation with him, asking him about his phone line, and whether he can cook or not, and how he would rate his cooking. It was just highly distracting listening to all that. I mean, she has a son. WHY is she trying to pick up a bangla worker. Or what could all her constant questioning mean, if she's not trying to pick him up?

Wow. I thought it'd be hard getting back into this blogging thing, but it's not. I've been flooding the partners' comm book with "entries", just cos it's easier to write there. No tagboard, no internet access requirement..

And now my alarm is going off so I gots to go. BYE.

Just dropping a note from Andy's laptop at work. Haha.

I'm still sick, it's so annoying. Yesterday I tried on about six dresses and a romper from River Island and I bought one of them. Plus a pair of Jellies in transparent. Modern-day Cinderella slippers. When I was younger they didn't have any big enough for my large child feet, so I'll get them now to make up for it.

I can't buy sale items cos mostly they don't have my size. But it's okay. I don't mind buying full-priced items. I don't like sale crowds anyway. Actually I don't like any kind of crowd except for the mid-sized clubbing crowd. Haha.

Also, I haven't been clubbing since the stupid ban, sedihnyer. So much for my plans to go check out the scene after the smoking ban. I was SO excited about it. Ohwell.

Okay my break's up, bye.

Don't say you will, if you won't.

Just a little something I live by.

So it's been a while since I last blogged, and I guess it took a huge thing to irk me badly enough to blog here.

Yesterday was the big day. I invited a few close friends, because, you know, it's not my wedding, and I even sent a couple of them real invitations, through the mail. This was at least a month ago, and then I bumped into another friend a week or so back, and I invited him too.

But wow, the one who showed up fifteen minutes before it started was the last-minute invite, my beloved Dodol and his girlfriend! Followed [hours apart] by Amin and Hanom.

Well, you know, it's an invitation and all, so you have every right, and then some, to decline. But I invited you, and you said yes, and some even followed up with offers of helping, etc. Friday night I was messaging and calling everyone, because Dodol was the only one who contacted me first. And nobody replied. Till like, two in the morning; noon the next day! So like, what were you doing when I called, anyway? You slept at midnight and woke up at noon?

So, what did you do, you forgot? Wow. If I invite you to my wedding, will you forget about it too? I wouldn't be surprised, really. There were even a couple of them who didn't turn up and didn't bother telling me.

Considering everyone accepted the invitation gracefully [and considering how we all attended Otam's wedding the other time with much anticipation], I was completely appalled.

It's just plain rude, is what it is.

And now I can really have a small wedding, no worries.

Malas to dwell on it, cos ugly thoughts make you uglier. But let's say now I know who I can count on.

I've been wanting to do this post for ages, but I never managed to find the time. Till now.

Well, basically, everybody and his dog knows that I got a major haircut in the last month. The same questions regarding my hair have been asked of me, so I thought I would compile them into this post.


Top Ten FAQs Regarding My Hair

1. Did you rebond it?
Yes, I went for soft rebonding, otherwise it would be pouffy and weird.

2. What made you get this hairstyle?
I've been wanting the Chinadoll-bangs for ages, plus I wanted to hack off all the old, dried-out hair, so it ended up like this.

3. Can I touch it?
Go ahead. It's not a wig.

4. What happens when you wear your helmet?
It depends. Sometimes nothing. Sometimes it'll just stick out at the ends and end up looking sixties.

5. What did your boyfriend say? [Hey, relatives have asked me that!]
Well, he wasn't thrilled, to say the least. Haha.

6. Do you miss your old hair?
No I don't.

7. What shampoo do you use?
Some unknown antidandruff shampoo they gave me at the salon, which doesn't seem to work anyway.

8. You look like Cleopatra.
Thanks.

9. You look like CleoFATra.
Thanks.

10. Isn't it hot?
Yes, as a matter of fact, it gets hot under the bangs. But ohwell. Small price to pay.

Bonus Question: How much did it cost?
Don't ask.

This was from Shafa's blog.

IF YOUR LIFE WERE A MOVIE, WHAT WOULD THE SOUNDTRACK BE?

So, here's how it works:
1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, iPaq etc)
2. Put it on shuffle
3. Press play
4. For every question, type the song that's playing
5. When you go to a new question, press the next button
6. Don't lie and try to pretend you’re cool...

Hehe. Nothing to be embarrassed about, I think.

I had one of my now-rare train rides to work the other day, and I was just busying myself with photos when a set of the MRT Unit walked in at Tampines! Ahhh. Have always loved them. Haha. What were the odds, anyway?




Attended my cousin-in-law's [it's complicated] nikah on Saturday. The dude she's marrying is a Young Lion, so a bunch of Young Lions descended upon the home, in addition to the assortment of relatives from all sides. Eye candy galore, even though I have no interest in the game whatsoever. They kept to themselves, mostly, but the best part was when Hello-Kitty-lookalike [I don't wanna put his real name here for fear of being Googled, I really don't want this to get around] came out of the house and salamed ALL the datuks and pakciks before he left! I was SOOOOOOO awed, and my opinion of him just made an about-turn. In addition to being hot and famous, he's also respectful! How perfect can you get?

Okay enough gushing. I'm sure Nat knows who I'm talking about. Everyone else can ask me personally if you wanna know.




Life back at work has been all right. Yesterday there was a cute guy, maybe late twenties, who chatted to me while I made his hot chocolate. "Sekarang memang tak ramai orang eh?"/"So you get paid hourly right?"/etc. And Bernie and Dan were both around. Well it's just nice to see friendly faces.

Like that Malay dude the other day who insisted I speak to him in Malay cos he feels more comfortable conversing in Malay. But when I used that tactic on his friends, they responded in English. Macam-macamlah.

It hit me last night, how much I'm going to miss LT. Every aspect of working at LT. Parking at Angullia Park/LT multistorey, going to BK, visiting the DBS Autolobby.. It begins to hurt. Belum genap satu tahun, and you decide to close on me! Sedihnyer.

Anyway it's almost a given that the two of us will be at One Fullerton, which is some consolation.

Okaybye!

One year ago on this night..

..we met on the dancefloor.

Life's been just peachy, Alhamdulillah.

I went to PS the other night and met with some trouble parking Baby in the tiniest space imaginable. This cute mat Gilera was watching at first with a sympathetic smile on his face. Then as I started to sweat, he gave me helpful instructions. But that didn't go over too well either, so he said, "Nak saya tolong?" and I gushed, "Oh ya thanks!" before the words were even halfway out his lips.

So he got on the bike with good grace, and parked it beautifully for me. I didn't really see how he did it cos I was too busy looking down at his peach/pink sneakers. And no, no number-exchanging. I poured out words of gratitude, he said no-problem, and zoomed off.

But he was cu-uuuute.




That night was another Simpang night, and while on the way home, I was just thinking, Haaa last time roadblock kat sini.. Sekali I realised there was some sort of jam going on, and a few metres down I realised it was a roadblock. My third, btw. This was a selective roadblock again, so I thought they stopped all P-plates but no, after stopping me and Amin, they let this P-plate Phantom go!!!

Okay takper, I just surrendered the necessary documents and stuff. But even after they were done with Amin, they weren't done with me. I panicked inwardly, cos I was wondering whether it had something to do with the Lim Chu Kang roadblock. But the malay dude who was handling my stuff said to me, "Sorry eh, pasal kat license ader tunjuk 3A, tapi biler I screen takder 3A.." I shrugged it off, since I wasn't in a hurry or anything, and I had fun looking around at the other stopped vehicles. But inside I was thinking, "..biler I screen.." ke pe.. Haha. And there was a car that was stopped on suspicion of drink-driving. SO COOL.

Sorry, I'm of the train-wreck mentality.



Today we watched JPB [it's really Atikk's fault that I'm scared now] with Hanom, Natasha and friends. TOO FUN, espesh the noisy makcik infront who was discussing the plot with her husband who was two seats away.

Ask and you shall receive.

[backlog from last week]
My Lonerguy Mood is joyous.
My MBB Mood is rindu.

Exam Week has been pretty good so far. Studying at DTE--Pizza Hut mats, Boy [who asked me, "Bawak moto ape?"], and a smattering of Wild Wild Wet mats. Three glorious exams with Lonerguy. The last of which featured him kitty-corner to me. And which ended off with a not-so-romantic lunch at SP. Hehe.

Nights at Simpang. Lovely lovely lovely. Abang Fakrul and cute Faizal with the glasses and of course, Atikk's very own Abang Apoi. HAHA. And the assorted cute guys. I <3 Simpang so much it's not even funny.

Mechanic's hot as usual. Paid him the regular monthly visit, and Nat very kindly took a photo for me--which is still in her phone, unfortch. And the next night he sent me a goodnight forward. Hehe. Cute lah that one. So quiet and unassuming.



I've been faithfully returning to DTE, hoping to see Boy again, but no go. I'm not giving up, though.



I lovelovelove my new hair. Some people now have the illusion that I'm cute! *jumps around*

Hi all!

I'm in the training room at scilib, doing my usual online because I didn't come to school to study. Haha.

Nak terkencing. For the second time.

Yesterday I woke up late and went to Downtown East to study. It's not that bad except I spent half the time eating. HAHA. But if you go too early there aren't many cute mats to look at.

On Wednesday I went for Momo's Last Ladies' Night with Amin. Super fun. Loves the music. That is, loves the music until it hits 4 a.m. But half the people go there for the 4 a.m. music, so who am I to judge? Oooh I saw Lonerguy's friends and all, and I spent five full minutes searching for him, but I never found him. =( Aperlah dier. Doesn't he know how to take some time off studying? Hehe.

Sorry aku giler.




The upside of this haircut is that people don't recognise me.
The downside of this haircut is that people don't recognise me.
The upside of this haircut is that I look like Cleopatra.
The downside of this haircut is that I only look like her from afar.

HAHAHAA. But I love it anyway.

My MBB Mood is dancing-off-the-walls.

Hellohellohellohellooooooooo!

I was just parking this morning and he was at BG fiddling with some trash bag. He was staring at me for like two minutes, then he did a double-take and gestured to his hair [in response to my new haircut]. Sungguh adorable! I laughed and nodded and waved as I walked away.

<3 MBB!

I'm really just here to check my messages and ceritakan some cool peristiwas that happened in relation to Baby. Heheh.

On Friday, two cool things happened.

1. I was turning into the Angullia Park carpark, you know, to go to work and all. I always get anxious at that stage because you know, weekends, and takut no parking spaces. This Phantom was parked right infront of an empty space, blocking it, and talking on the phone. So I gestured to him whether I could park there and he nodded and moved forward to make way. While I spent my usual 8027493 years parking, he got off the phone and stood there watching me. When I was done, he was still watching me, so I ignored him and rummaged around for a parking coupon. Then he decided to open his mouth and said, "Alah, tak payah taruk parking coupon pun boleh.." and proceeded to engage me in conversation: "Interesting eh, tengok pompan bawak KR.."/"You kerje sini?" Finally he ran out of steam, so I went off. Haha.

2. It was past four, and I was headed home with Amin--both of us riding. This Mitsubishi Lancer cruising in the third lane spotted me, and proceeded to tail me into the second lane and drive alongside me, smiling and asking for my number. At least three cute mats. I smiled back, but I know my limits. No phone number, sorry.



Finally, I was taking a nap yesterday afternoon when my mechanic called me: "Boleh bersembang..?"/"Kalau senang boleh call?" He's Chinese, by the way. I think I waxed lyrical about him in a previous post. Adorable, but I always thought he was for seeing, not touching. I certainly didn't expect him to start calling me up just to chat. But I guess not a lot of female customers leave their numbers yea..


Itu je, I suppose. Take care and good luck for the exams!

My Lonerguy Mood is flattered.
My MBB Mood is benci-tapi-sayang.

Yesterday night Amin was riding to Central from the local Shell, and I passed by this cute guy on a scooter who was waiting to turn right from the opposite side of the road. I took a second glance, he took and second glance, and we both smiled and waved at each other. *giggle* That was nice.

This is the last day of school. And I only just realised this morning!!! God. Aku loser. So I'm not mentally prepared at all. It's the last Breakfast Club meeting for months! Feels weird. This morning I missed breakfast so I had my usual drink and a blueberry bagel, toasted with cream cheese. Yummers. Better than Bakerzin's bagels, ANYDAY.

I listened to one J. Mizan song this morning, missed the title, so now I got all the possible J. Mizan songs, and it turned out to be the first one I got!!! Buang F-drive space je.

I love the new brake lever. So metallic. And matches the gorgeous footrests. Yay.



Kalau ku bayangkan
Dirimu jauh dari ku
Betapakah sunyi
Tentu tidak seharum dulu

Engkau ku salahkan
Bermungkir di dalam cinta
Tapi ku percaya
Tak mungkin sekejam itu

(Chorus)
Kini ku bayangkan
Seandainya kita bersama
Rianglah duniaku
Bersinar bintangmu

Marilah dewiku
Marilah terus bercinta
Tak akan berdosa
Insan kalau bercinta - J. Mizan

My Lonerguy Mood is giggly.
My MBB Mood is cheery.

It's nice to have them both back, after my own prolonged period of absence. Even Hasyim-lookalike was around. The only one missing was the OCS despatch guy. Prolly cos I was super-early today at 715 a.m. HAHA. I got 2101 test back. I got 41 and Abdillah got 38! =PPPPP Haha.

Nak terkencing. For the third time this morning. Irritating sey.

Smalam was one of the final few store meetings. At Capital Tower. I think they were trying to get us used to the idea of another store? Anyways. It dragged on and on. But loves my bananas. And coconuts. Smells like Banana Boat, tastes like summer! Makes me wanna go tanning again. Like now. Haha.

After that I went to Lau Pa Sat for dinner with D. Dah lama tak gi Lau Pa Sat. Some of the guys there know me. And the rest.. Would like to. Haha. It's weird la. I used to go there almost every night once. Not that I miss it or anything. I'm just saying it's weird.



Random photos.

My Lonerguy Mood is goooooood.

I walked into my latest favourite hangout, S10 CBLC, and he was just sitting there, surfing through travel listings.

"Kalau blajar takper jugak.." I said.

He said he had something to pass to me, so I waited, and there was my Li Tianhu test paper with a good grade on it. "Oooh, totally laaa!" I exclaimed. He just gave me that I-know-it-all smile of his.



Momo yesterday. It was, uh, well it was alright, I suppose. I looked pretty darn cute, if I do say so myself. *giggle*

Oh we watched Shooter, with some reluctance, which turned out to be misplaced because it's terrific, balls! Gahaha.

Okay I know I haven't done much in the way of school. Emotions got in the way la.





The day that I saw you walking
I can't help myself but to look at you
It must be the way you smile at me
Darling you're like the morning dew

You're too near to me yet so far
So beautiful that's what you are
If you were the keys than I'm the car
You're the honey and I'm the jar

You are my eyes
Without you my world is blind
Come to me now love
We'll be together forever

I'm so high on the cloud number nine
And I thank God that you are mine
You tripped me over with your magical shine
You are perfect and you look so fine

So many things I want from you
It hurts when I know you're feeling blue
Whatever it takes is what I'm gonna do
Take you away and make your dreams true - Peepshow
