So tiring
Cant believe it.. i just went whole day visiting on chu er and i felt so tired and drained in the middle of the day.. comparatively.. it is worse than shopping or walking around in town for the entire day.. i do not feel as tired..Before this.. just a pic of me n nephews after we bai nian to my sister.. Coincidentally.. the three of us wore white tshirts and white shorts.. happy kids with angbaos! :)
Firstly went to visit my da gu ma at depot road..woo..first time I've been to their new house..nice decor but alil crampy..their old house brought me "torturous" childhood memories cause i was forced to eat a whole plate of rice, veggies and meat(adult's portion) when i was still 4 years old.. and my da gu ma cut my hair SOOO short that a lil kid saw me in thelift and called me "korkor".. grrrr..
3 of my gu jie and their families visited my da gu ma at the same time.. so this is called killing 4 birds with 1 stone..they came all the way from malaysia.. last year i didnt even meet them cause the visiting timing just wasnt right..
Afterwards proceed to my wu gu ma's place at queenstown..she also moved! Woo..v nice place..whole hse was air-conditioned..v comfortable..I always like to see my wu gu zhang..cos he is always so cheerful..He is around 70 years old but his mindset is not old-fashioned and always give good advices..v fun loving gu zhang..i like :)
At this time.. i was already very tired.. cos i had to carry kitkit around as sis is carrying binbin around..my jiefu din go visiting with us cos he was working..i was practically like a nanny..haha carryiing the milk powder..the oranges..babies pampers..baby powder..and the best thing is..my gu jie..gu ma..all gave us a packet of goodies each..and i had to carry these packets all around.. godamn heavy *cry* esp the "xue ge".. it was so heavy that the handle of the plastic bag broke when i was carrying it.. grrrr...
Funny thing..my relatives ask me "have you got a boyfriend?".."When are you getting married?".. Im like "Huh? Erm.. im only 21 and im still studying..Perhaps they see my sis already have 2 kids thats why they assume im of marriageable age (we have a gap of 7years!?!?!) and have the perception that i havent found my MR Right or I dowan to get married.. haha..Next visited my Kao Fu's House..usually they will order some food from some caterer and invite all relatives during one of the weekends..but this year they din so my family just went for simple house visiting..nice to talk to them esp my cousin..my prettiest cousin..ever so frenly and talkative.. hee
Saw my biao ge's girlfriend..they are cohabiting together in my Kao Fu's house..well..i know of this fact for quite some time.. but i dinno she has divorced and already has a 3 year old son! aiyo..and guess what.. the girl is 22 (those typical girls wearing a tube and a short skirt in clubbing areas) and my cousin is almost 40 le! Never mind about such facts but i
seriously think the girl and the kid got attitude problem..and they behave like they own the rights to live there..not much respect to the house owners and do not contribute anything.. heard much gossips from my cousins and ah yee..lol..
Woooo.. went to ulu pandan's seafood place beside the junction..(lol..i forgot the name) yeah! had yu sheng, stingray, shrimp paste chicken, baby kai lan and some tofu stuffs.. the food is pretty good.. but the serving is kinda slow.. as if eating a wedding dinner..they serve a plate at 1 time..and they actually got the orders wrong..but anyway i like yusheng cause i like the blessing it bring across.. "Bu Bu Gao Sheng" and i always like to "lao yu sheng" and "lao" as high as possible..hee..its fun..i remember i missed eating it last year..but hey i've eaten mine today.. have you?

Letters
I was clearing out my cupboard a few days ago to prepare for the new semester and i found a paper bag and 2 shoeboxes worth of letters written in the past..Seriously i couldnt bear to throw them away but i have no other places to store them so i decided to read them ALL once again before i discard them ALL away.. *Xin Tong*These are the lil treasures and funny stuffs that i found along the way..
First of all.. Kui.. do u still remember this? lol.. i actually kept it till now.. it has been 5 years already..
Digging through the letters i found a class photo of my best friend in primary school.. Scanning.. Scanning.. Scanning.. i found my poly friend shuhua! haha..i know the photo doesnt compliment her but well..the world is so small.. :)
In the past, i only have memories of writing letters to yuli and kaiqi..but actually i had written letters to a whole lot of friends..just to name a few before i forget again..jacqueline, eileen, marilyn, wanjia, regina, xiujing, eiko, zhuang man and gang. And i mean not just 1 or 2 letters..there are alot..maybe a minimum of 10letters from each one..and about a full foolscap page long..When did i ever lend someone $10? lol..and i really dunno who is she..
Surprisingly..i found an angbao inside those piles of letters.. from my aunt.. $10.. and its those old $10 notes (Without Yusof Ishak) and is brand new.. crispy feeling.. haha..
And there are some people called mengkoon, jaslin, elaine, jacqueline whom i simply dont remember who they are at all~! And I believed I replied otherwise they wouldnt have sent me so many letters.. it makes me feel guilty that i dont even haf a slightest memory of them..
Actually Im curious what have I written to these people in the past, well, its no longer possible to read them now.. and i think it must be really childish to reread those thoughts i had in the past..
Someone sent me this..
Oh..this is so gross man..lol..look at that mushroom head..and what silly pose is this?
look at that jumper..lol..so gayish..This is from Uncle Barry..my church friend..He was v v v v nice to me..always buy me food to eat..play with me..he know i like sylvester so he got me the space jam vcd (in the past)..its always nice to have someone that dotes on you :)
You know.. reading through those letters aint a v interesting thing to do.. esp when they are just chunks and chunks of words.. just like reading compositions.. but well.. this funny cranky friend of mine writes creative ones.. it alwaz brings a smile to my face whenever i pick up a letter from that whole stack and its hers..I simply love the way she decorates and esp the way she writes my NAME..
and i dunno why my name became crazy radio and hers became slow speedy.. kids..Cute Writing Papers
And shes so crazy..this is just 1 of her envelopes..
This is another of her "envelope"
When i open it up.. its aluminium foil.. lol
and there you go.. her letter..
Sometimes when she has got nothing much to write about.. she will draw me stuffs
or write me lyrics.. at that time Candle in the Wind by Elton John was so famous and she's in love with Prince William..
Otherwise she will send me tissue papers! Yes.. i mean decorated tissue papers..
At 1 time, i even received this! lol..
It was just so fun to have her as a friend last time.. zhuang man, dorothy, chee chee and tian zhuang (Ps always laugh at me cos i used to write them as Special Friends in autograph books in secondary school..) It is sad because i had lost contact with them over the past few years.. but they had brought fun and laughter into my church life.. :)

Woo.. I love this picture!Saw SHE in Marina last night.. woah.. there were many crazy fans running around in Marina Sq just to catch a glimpse of them.. even after they left.. these fans rush all the way to their van just to wave byebye.. frankly speaking last time i was one of those zui xing yi zu.. but nah.. not as crazy.. grown up le.. lol.. but i would like to watch a concert soon..

6 months of blogging
Time flies..i had been blogging for 6 whole months and counting..actually im getting kind of sick of blogging..maybe thats the reason for having an entry after so many days..---
Anyway.. here goes..
Happy New Year Everyone! Seriously.. it seems the same to me.. the only thing i know is that school is starting soon.. mixed feelings.. kinda looking forward cos had enough of lazing around.. yet dread it cos those modules are not smth im looking forward to except the japanese studies.. it seem interesting..
My New Year started with a loud bang.. haha.. went to watch the fireworks display at esplanade.. woo.. nice nice.. im not those who are super fascinated with fireworks or loves them.. i just wanna join in the fun.. you dont get to see fireworks everyday in ya life rite?
Indeed, i saw many foreign workers over at esplanade.. i dunno.. maybe i heard of too many molest cases.. it gets me a lil paranoid.. was avoiding those ppl who were having spray cans.. haha.. but i din tio any.. this issue is already mentioned in many blogs and even the news.. i shant repeat dem.. i just feel its kinda sad that we gals dont really get to let our hair down and enjoy the fun.. instead we haf to be on our guard and get our guyfrens or bfs to protect us.. haiz..
Before that.. i watched the family stone.. aiyo.. dont like the show.. heartwarming? erm.. i dun really think so.. and their love stories.. so weird.. ah anyway.. not the kind of show i will enjoy.. heh.. im looking fwd to elizabeth town.. my orlando.. lol..

Went for my fren's BBQ at Sentosa.. Haven been there for a long long time.. so many changes! I wanna play that luge ride, chairlift and the sky tower.. din haf the chance.. after the renovation.. the place is so clean and modernised.. its beautiful..there is even a sakae sushi in the middle of the siloso beach.. haha.. but im kinda afraid of salmon now.. phobia..
Practically dunno anybody at the chalet.. all year 2s and year 3s SOC students.. I guess im the only year 1.. saw a few familiar faces only.. but there are funny people in that crowd.. lol..
there is this 1 particular guy.. i oni noe him as a very smart guy.. now i noe he is a glutton.. he is eating all the time.. chicken wing, satay, yakitori, whatever u name it.. i never once saw him BBQing.. he just kept queueing for food.. and he was caught on camera eating satay.. haha.. v funny..
The food is great! i simply love the lil drumlets.. must be the way they marinate it.. love the chilli sotongs.. so spicy.. wah.. drool.. had yakitori, satay, stingray, sausages, crab meat, fish.. yummyzzz..
there was this other group of ppl BBQing beside us.. think they are from china.. they did a very peculiar thing.. they had this long "sausage" thingy attached to a string and a stick.. same thing like holding a lantern.. just that theirs was this long sausage thing.. they stuck joss sticks on this sausage.. and started taking photos with it.. it was like some kind of baobei to them.. was it some kind of festival? or some ritual? what the hell was that? looks evil.. lol..

Guess thats practically what i did for the past few days

Im fedup with that CPF thing! I hate it when i need to go through some trouble because of other ppl's mistake..
my ex-agency gave me a month's pay extra (JULY 2005.. yes it has been half a year) because SHE DIDNT KNOW I QUIT.. OMG.. for goodness.. she was the FIRST person i informed when i tender my resignation letter.. and to think she told me she did not know.. thats bullshit.. NVM.. anyway she is a real blur sotong.. i know she is new but this is a careless mistake..she even asked me to return a wrong amount.. which is definitely not my pay..nvm.. clarified.. i returned her every single cent in August..
Here comes the CPF thing.. i need to sign this form to declare that it was a contribution error.. im fine with that.. simply sign and send back the form..
But the guy from CPF board called me and ask me to make a trip down personally to sign the papers.. i asked him to fax me the papers and i mail them back.. he rejected my offer and ask me to come down instead.. And today, i received a letter from them.. they sent me the form and request that i return it before the specified date.. that was what i proposed earlier!!!
why cant they just do it earlier and not rush me upside down when they are rushing their audits and im standing in their way..JULY till now.. it has been dragging for too long.. troublesome and all bcos of her blunder.. irritating.. i just wan to get it done and stop bothering me!

How does it feel to be misunderstood all the time? How does it feel if ppl that you love just keeps assuming things about you that are far from truth? How does it feel to know that this year is not going to be smooth sailing? How does it feel to have a timebomb around you and not knowing when will it explode? How does it feel to be sick at the beginning of the year?
---
Im still sad though.. affected by those words.. which are facts that i cant deny.. if only i can turn back time.. the saddest part is that all you are left with are regrets.. i dont wish to carry them as a burden all the time.. but i have the tendency to look back..
