End of Term Break

And so it ends, with an exciting F1 race for Singapore and not a whole lot of things to look forward to next week. Hehe!! I enjoyed the week but didn't fully utilise my time I think... When will I learn?

Coming up, Spanish assignment to hand in.
Venus quiz on Tuesday.
Party on Tuesday night.
Study on Wednesday.
Ringo's quiz on Thursday.
Slack on Friday and the weekend rolls in again.

Testing will be done on Thursday and Friday.

Not bad, time is passing so fast, I dun really feel tt I am aging... Each week justs whizzes past.

I went to F1 yesterday!!!

And it was great fun, LIKE TOTALLY!!! Vroom Vroom~!! The noise can really make me feel damn high... I was just stuffing my fingers into my ears while squealing at each and every car tt wheezed past me at the grid.


Did you know that a normal red polo tee with the Ferrari logo on the left can cost $125?? So Expensive lah!! But there are people who really buy those merchandise... OMG!!




Iced tea and coffee cost $8 each. Coke also costs $8. So we decided that we should guzzle beer coz it costs $10. More worth it right?? Those plastic cups are special ones u know... It has TIGER and the logo printed on it. But the beer was really really cold, so shiok!!

Our seats were quite good actually, just after turn 2 and at the point of turn 3. We could see the skid marks on the track at turn 3. And there's a huge screen right in front of us so we can see the race as broadcasted too while waiting for the next car to come along.

It was a Vroomtastic experience. VROOM~~~~!!!!

Term Break

This is (to me) the 3rd day of Term Break. I haven't done any real work yet. Yes!! I am supposed to be studying for my 2 quizzes!!! But heck... Not in the mood yet.

I haven't been doing anything constructive. Had my phone fixed (hopefully for the last time) and had my extra tuition sessions... Plus the sisters gathering yesterday... And I did manage to spot the bag tt Aya might want for her birthday so tt is settled too. Will buy it either tml or later today. The weather is so hot, I don't feel like moving at all.

RAINBOW SISTERS gathering yesterday was fun. Played mahjong, made a lot of noise and then we had the longest dinner session ever~!! We sat thru 2 football matches while we ate, took photos, talked, watched some football and then talked even more. My mama was very happy to see you all too!!

Thank you Yuwen for the dinner treat yesterday!!!! Muackz!!!!

Lost money at mahjong yesterday but mama "invested" her winnings in me so it wasn't too bad. Today my mama said want to play so we were playing just now. Lost money again!! So Suay lah!!! The table is still outside in the living room... LAter still got second round... OMG~~~

I shall go eat Limei's muffins now... Had beehoon soup (my mama cooked) for breakfast so still very full. The muffin would be just nice!

Things to do tml:
(1) Meeting with Catherine
(2) Print lecture articles for Venus' class
(3) Print Lecture 5 review and solutions
(4) Tuition with Tracy
(5) Buy Aya's belated bday present

Not bad, utilise fully of my time outside. =)

I don't like...

...that he is tactless at times. Not SOMETIMES, but quite often. He can say things unknowingly (i hope) tt will hurt me. And I have to laugh it off like it didn't matter.

...that he can be inconsiderate. Never think for my feelings, what I might want or my opinion. I think as a couple, some things need to be talked over tgt. Informing is not always enough. Discussion is always better.

...that he can be insensitive. Somethings that I am upset about are quite "in-your-face" kind of obvious so why is it tt he can't see it?

...that he is so confident tt I will always be there. Maybe tt's why he can easily take me for granted. Maybe I should just leave him.

The feeling

Today we were chilling at this place at Bishan Park. It was a really chill place but tt is not what I want to blog about today. It's about THE FEELING.

My friend was gushing about how this girl gives him tt FEELING, something tt he has not felt since secondary school. Do you remember tt feeling?? I do. But I just thought, how many people do we know tt can truthfully say tt the person they are with give them tt FEELING?? I remember what it felt like to blush and feel awkward just by hearing his name being mentioned. Or not being able to meet tt person's eye.

I still do get tt feeling sometimes. Yes, HE is capable of doing tt to me. But I thought, does he feel it too?? He, the ultimate aloof one tt seems devoid of all emotions sometimes...

When I asked him, he said,

"I knew you were gg to ask me tt! I just knew it! HAhahahahahah!"
"So?? Do you feel tt way?"
"Yes I do... (matter of factly)"
"Liar."

So tt was tt. But I guess it's the small little things. I think I outgrew the concept tt love had to be served up in grand manners and scale. I don't hanker for romantic candle-lit dinners (although they are still romantic and highly acceptable), expensive gifts (although still highly coveted and my impression of the man will rise in proportion to the price tag attached to tt gift), and huge romantic gestures like flowers, a fantastiv nightview from the top of a skyscraper...

I appreciate tt he drives me ALMOST everywhere with no complain. I appreciate tt he is proud of me in front of his friends and family. I appreciate tt he tries to make me happy whenever I finally open my mouth to voice out my unhappiness. I appreciate tt he stays back at work a little longer just so he can wait for me to finish my late classes and drive me home (not always lah). I appreciate tt he is improving (surprise surprise!!) as a boyfriend.

I am also thankful tt he is not overly eager, not overly possessive, abusive, overly manja and overly arrogant. I am also thankful tt he is very real in his attitude and fun-loving although tt is a bane too!

I like...

...this picture so I decided to upload for fun. =)

Day 12 without him

Firstly, SORRY!!!!

I can't find my camera so I haven't been able to take a picture of my new sneakers... And coz it's so nice, I dun think taking a picture with my HP will do it any justice... Just hang on there for a while jie-meis. U will get to see it!!!

Today at 8p.m. Singapore time, Adam will be boarding the plane back to Singapore. But he will only arrive in Singapore tml at 6.55p.m. It takes almost 24hours to travel back to Singapore, can u imagine it?? But of course, he won't be on the plane all the time. He will have transits in Zurich and Bangkok also. But I am just glad tt he's coming back. =)

Was supposed to do some work today but haiz, a bit lazy lah... But at least I managed to finish my item scale for GP last night and also I managed to write some parts of the slides for Venus' presentation. I am not really into working on my days off, now including Fridays. haha!!

Later still got tuition. I hope my tutee is better if not she won't be able to catch up by the time her PSLE comes by. =(

Day 10 without him

It's the same thing again today.

Where has he MIA-ed to??

Day 9 without him

I waited last night but he didn't come online.

Today I'm waiting again, but it's almost midnight now but he hasn't come online too.

While waiting, I thus made myself a cup of something to cheer myself up. You see, the piercing headache I had yesterday was indeed a warning of what was coming today. I got the period this morning!!! No cramps, thankfully, most prob coz I went to gym on Sunday with Weichuen.

Was cranky the whole morning, feeling hot and what not... It doesn't help to know tt tml I have to wear formal and Argh!!! And he's not online again today.

So I made a cup of cold ultra-milky Milo for myself.

2 heaped tsps of Milo
2 heaped tsps of condensed milk
about 2cm high of hot water into the mug

I stirred and I couldn't help staring and smiling at the thick chocolatey liquid... Then I topped it up all the way with fresh milk!! And I could still see the Milo bits floating around on the surface. =) The best Milo I've had in a long long time...

And even though Stats homework was hard (and I think 87.65% of my answers are wrong anyway), my butt is padded and my bf still has not come online, for now, the aftertaste of Milo tt lingers is sweet enough for me.

Tired though, so I might just go sleep... Need to rest my tired body and my poor brain which had to think so hard to make sense of the words in the Stats tutorial. Bunas noche!

Day 8 without him

Today, I went for tuition but arrived at Tracy's place with a throbbing head... I had a permanent frown on my forehead and I couldn't concentrate on what I wanted to do with her today. Then I thought it will go away after a while but it didn't!!

I hate headaches. Flu still not too bad leh but a headache is the worst!! Can't think... Flu still can move about and do some work. In the end, I sat in school trying to do my work but left for home just before 5 coz I couldn't take it anymore... Argh!!!

Good things tt happened today (before the onset of the headache):
(1) Changed my school file to a PINK one with plastic pockets!
(2) Found Farhanah's Science mock papers answer sheet.
(3) Realised tt my hair grows quite fast.

Bad things tt happened today:
(1) Headache

Things I have to do later:
(1) Finish up my Spanish work
(2) Attempt Tutorial 4 for Stats

I predict another headache setting in once I managed to get down to doing task number 2. SPSS has been re-downloaded and I feel happy about it but having no excuse not to do work is Argh!! Have just taken painkillers for the head so I shall see how long I can last later.

Hasta Luego!

Day 6 without him

Hehe!!! I received my birhday present today!!! I totally TOTALLY love my new sneakers. Thank you very much to Yuwen, Huiyun, Limei, Davina, Jiaying, Lixuan, Shiling and Sammy for this wonderful present. Like I said earlier in my smses to u all, I will wear this all over Europe!!!

Went to WineBar and then to Modesto's with Felix, Weichuen and Fernn last night. Didn't reach home very very late lah, but still late, so I was surprised with myself when I managed to wake up for school. And my mum was at home so she made sure I woke up for school also. Spanish was fun!! Now I know what Weichuen was talking about when he said "Creo que..."

Then went to Orchard to meet Yuwen but I bumped into Lixuan and Alina before tt. Ate my lunch and waited for Yuwen to come. She was a sight!!! Kinda used to seeing her in her work clothes so seeing her in tee and denim skirt was like old times again. But she still looked like she haven'T graduated from school yet. Hahahaha!!!

Now, I am just waiting for dinner to be served... Aya is cooking dinner tonight. So secretive, dun tell us what she's cooking and also say we cannot go in and see... But seems like dinner is almost done..

Oh yah, went to deliver mooncakes to Adam's parents on Thursday... Goodwood Park Hotel D24 Durian Paste mooncakes. But I only bought 2 pcs.. Bo $$, haha!! It wasn't expensive lah, for 2 pcs it's affordable but 4 pcs might be a bit too much ah... But auntie sms-ed me the next day to say they have tried them and like them so GREAT!!!

Alright, shall go dinner now. =)

Day 2 without him

Day 2 went very well, surprise surprise!!

I think because a few things brightened up my day..
(1) Fernn sent email to say she can get 25% off the Flyer tickets so ask if we are interested.
(2) Weichuen has organised the first leg of the Europe tour from London to Barcelona.
(3) Peiling say she can lend me her pig-liver-red boots if I want for my Eurotrip
(4) Shopping confirmed on Saturday
(5) Caught up on Venus' textbook readings

So actually my day went pretty well. Did some exercises at home also. Couldn't go jog coz of the bad weather. The only thing tt spoilt it was the faulty SPSS. It simply refuses to work. Argh!!! So I am gg to tutorial tml blindly, with no attempts made on the questions.

September is a crazy month. Testing, quizzes, presentation... I can live through it de!!!

Day 1 without him

Alright, this is Day 1 w/o him. Technically, we still had some contact but yah, he's physically not here so I do miss him.

He smsed me twice from Zurich using the public phone there... But there was no number for me to reply to so I just sms-ed his local number. And he sent another reply using the public phone again.

Then just now, he has arrived. I know I can't sms him too much, not even as and when I want. But it feels comforting to know tt I can reach him if I wanted to. Tt I still have a way to contact him, but must rem the time difference...

Fernn brightened my day with confirmation of our London flights. We are taking SQ A380 to Heathrow!!! Tt is a hi-light by itself lah... Will take lots of pictures and blog about my trip when it happens. I think I will bring a diary with me, a journal, whatever...

I hope the list of cities come out soon so tt I can go read up before we leave also. The confirmed list. Bah!! I can't help but wait...
