it's vesak day today, a very important day to me cos it's public holiday! =P

papa bought Mee Hoon Kuay for me in the morning.. have forgotton when was the last time he dabao for me already cos mama has always been the one doing this.. so today's Mee Hoon Kuay tasted exceptionally nice :)

coming up tomorrow:
1) "interview" test for module Communication Skills for Business;
2) story-telling test for extra module Effective Speaking Skills.

have finished preparing my portfolio, going to look at sample interview questions later.. so kan chiong.. haha..

tuesday:
went for a jog with dd in the morning, the usual 2.4km route along the canal.. finished it in a surprising 14+ min, used to take about 18min in secondary school and i havent been running for a long time already.. sense of achievement, hehe :)

wednesday:
went Far East with foong and mei, visited dd at her workplace.. mei was very happy to get her little miss tee and skinny jeans.. and im very happy too cos there’s a Full House branch at Far East! i love the ice horlicks with milk! =D

thursday:
watched Pirates with dd.. though the starting part of the story is a little confusing, and at certain parts i didnt catch what they were saying (somemore a tall guy in front was blocking the Chinese subtitles), it was a great show! sad ending though, shall not mention what cos mei hasnt watch it yet.. hehe.. anyway, i like Johnny Depp! his Jack Sparrow character is very funny and laid-back.. and i think he looks very manly! hahha..

tried new stuff with dd – shilin Taiwan street snacks, New York New York, and Godiva’s Chocolixir =P

and i bought a photo frame for fathers’ day.. have never had such a gift idea before.. but the one i saw was very cute! it has a boat, fishing rod and a fish! the fish is 3D and movable somemore! hehe.. dad loves fishing.. i have chosen the photo to display already, it’s one with dad proudly holding up a huge fish he caught :)

friday:
brought mum to Cityhall for a walk, wanted to give sis a surprise too.. was a pity we didnt get to lunch with her cos she was out for lunch already when we reached her branch.. but we get to chat with her at her desk cos there was no customer in the queue.. it's so cool to see my sis working, see her sign her documents and stamp them with her name.. feel so proud of her, hehe..

and i’ve pre-ordered my Harry Potter book at Raffles City’s MPH! the pre-ordered book is $5+ cheaper, i will get a $5 MPH voucher, and if im the first dont-know-how-many person to order, i get a free Harry Potter mug! and there’s no free delivery which means i get to collect it personally! hurhurhur.. =P

camped in school last friday and saturday, mei and me were helpers for foong's CCA's freshmen orientation camp.. watched the korean movie '200 Pounds Beauty'.. touching storyline with beautiful songs..

we also had fun mopping and vacuuming the floor, and making milo and syrup drink for the campers.. i dont have to participate in the games or cheers, no forfeit and stuff like that.. i like!

but i've forgotten to bring my towel back.. realised it only when i reached home.. very sad leh.. cant bear the thought that it might become a rag or carpet.. it has been with me for so long already.. my towel.. :'(

oh well, it's e-learning this week, online study from home, no school! =D
am very much looking forward to see dd this thursday.. going to catch Pirates of the Carribbean at marina, yay!

Shrek 3 is coming out on May 31, Donkey's babies are very cute!

and Ocean's Thirteen on June 7!

and Harry Potter on July 12!

hooray!!

wonder if i should pre-order my Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows book online.. its $5.20 cheaper to pre-order and there's free delivery somemore.. but i love the feeling of getting the book off the shelf myself on the day of release and proudly bring my treasure home.. haha.. hmm..

the past few weekends have been packed with projects, let alone weekdays, late nights and all.. so lucky to have foong and mei in my group, mei burnt midnight oil, while foong came all the way from bedok to lakeside to use her sis’s computer as hers was down.. and yay! we finally completed CF!

one down, three to go!

P/S: foong, you see, i also got praise you one leh! like wei lin, hehe.. but really, thank you to both of you, from the bottom of my heart! :)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

o ya, and there’s something im going to write very long about..

about somebody who spoilt my day yesterday.. not because she’s anybody important to me, but because i felt so 冤枉..
she found out from my secondary school classmate (who happened to hear the news somewhere) about me and my bf not together anymore.. so she sms me to ask me how am i recently.. i was surprise to see her sms cos we seldom contact.. 原来 she got 阴谋 one.. she started asking why we broke up, when we broke up, etc.. that i dont mind telling her cos im ok already..

the main point is she asked me why i didnt tell her and if diana knows about it.. so i told her yes diana knew about it (hey she's my bestie k) , and i didnt tell her cos i scared she would ask alot of questions (she really will!!) and i wasnt ready to tell back then..
she said she felt we are drifting apart (but we are not very close in the first place what!) and that i dont treat her as a friend anymore..

so i replied her that i just wasnt ready to tell.. then she said there are other factors as well, that she has always been the one contacting me, and that i have never taken any initiative to contact her, and she’s very tired already.. “honestly, i never ask you to contact me what!!! you dont have to do it if you find it a chore. and i seriously dont mind.”

this was what i was screaming in my head, didnt say that to her cos diana said we would end up quarrelling, and foong said maybe i meant more to her than she meant to me.. luckily they cooled me down, i dont like quarrels.. but mum said im useless, she said if she's me, she would have shouted at her straightaway.. mum doesnt like this friend of mine since secondary school..

so i ended up replying her that im fine with everything now, with us three (dd, her, and me) meeting up once in awhile.. she didnt reply me after that..

im trying not to sound rude and at the same time, want to make it clear to her that im happy to maintain status quo.. i dont want to guarantee her that i will contact her more often after this.. because i know i wont.. i will still be like now..

im not someone with big social cycle, but with small clique of close friends whom i really like and enjoy being with, whom i will take the initiative to contact.. this person is someone i've never thought of asking to meet up with.. i dont want to contact her just because it’s my turn to contact.. because to contact or not to contact is really 讲心意 one ma..

arrgh.. maybe what foong said is right.. hmm is not that i dont appreciate her as a friend, i do, but she's just a normal friend to me.. and maybe she felt left out.. but the breakup thing, i dont have to broadcast it right.. she made me feel that im the one at fault.. and it seems like i 跳进黄河also 洗不清.. cousin said im not obliged to tell her everything.. ya lor..

i know i have my wrong too.. cos recently when me, her, and dd went out together, she asked me how is everything between me and my bf, i didnt tell her we have broken up.. cos i knew if i did, she will bombard me with lots (really a lot) of questions throughout the outing.. i know i shouldnt have lied.. but i really dont want to tell her..

i know i sound mean in everything i said.. im not a good person.. but 我是人, 也有脾气的嘛.. these are my 真心话 and maybe some are 气话, but anyway, if i dont let it all out, i will burst, with project stress and all..

though that person doesnt know of my blog and anyway, i dont intend to tell her.. if she somehow reads about this entry, it’s ok too.. because im not saying her 坏话, backstabbing her or what.. these are what i really felt..

felt so great letting it all out! if wei sees this entry, she must be thinking is this jia ling again.. hehe.. yes it’s me! hurhur..

and im really glad to have dd and cousin for their support.. and foong and mei for lending me your ears :)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

anyway, it’s mothers’ day today.. bought big breakfast for mum, her favourite! through McDelivery.. and tried the Bagel with Omelette myself.. not bad, i like anything with bread =P

going over to grandmama’s place for dinner later, i hope big uncle-in-law isnt there cos he always hogs on the tv control and change channels as though nobody else is watching..

i want to watch my 神雕侠吕 :(

im soooooo happy! foong, mei and me just decided to skip our GEMS class after mei lost in scissors-paper-stone with foong! and im so glad mei lost cos that's the outcome we were all praying for! :)

actually ms. chng is very good, but i always hesitated going to her class cos dont know what are the weird things she is up to, or what will she ask us to do in front of the class again.. i think for the whole module, we can absent ourselves for about 3 times at most.. so we've got 2 times left!

going to meet sis at PS later, whooray! and it's weekend again, whooray whooray! :)

watched Spiderman 3 with cousin at Vivo today, it was terrific! both of us thought James Franco is very handsome!

after the movie, cousin treated me to dinner at Fig & Olive.. thank you cousin! happy to catch up with cousin today, havent seen her for quite some time already.. enjoyed myself alot, am looking forward to the next movie that we have planned to watch together - Ocean's Thirteen :)

o ya, and "Pirates of the Carribean: At World's End" is coming out on 24 May! Johnny Depp!!

(to dd: hey hey, keep this movie free k, let's watch the last one together again :))

ok that's all, shall continue with projects!

have finally settled for Math for my elective.. hopefully i would be able to get my first choice..

anyway, just completed the Microsoft Office Specialist Challenge for Word and Excel.. got 765 and 821 out of 1000 respectively.. mr. phang said a student got full marks yesterday.. woahh.. there's no way im going to get the $200 cash prize..

but i passed! hehe.. and im really glad i did, was worried that i wouldnt cos i didnt prepare much.. was so tensed up just now, foong said my face turned red =P

well, it's over! got to move my concentration to our three projects now! the INVE-cum-CRAA2 project is a tough one..

o ya, i can finally blog in different colours and fonts already! whooray! all thanks to foong :)

and it's pictures time again!

having fun at Chippy!
