2008
2008 has been the most eventful year, the most first experiences, the most milestones, the most discoveries. I changed a lot. Matured a lot. (Roomie would be the best person to verify that haha!) From emo to happy, from life sucks to life rocks! (:
The Major things. 1) Jan-Feb: worked at ANDA Insurance doing admin work. The memorable days of auntie & uncle lunchtime stories and tanjong pagar food hunting. The nice people there. Coming into contact with office politics. The emo side of me coming alive as I find the repetition of life and work boring, meaningless and unsatisfying. 2)I taught tuition, sec 2 and sec 3 math. I went for some media intern interview, tv audition, film audition, theatre audition, theatre workshops..I Worked at CPA(centre of performing arts) for a week. 3)Took up Jap with Seewah(: 4)May-June: Volunteered for SAF(Singapore Arts Festival). The maze instillation at Raffles City. Made many great friends who are into the arts. :D Did KidsFest. Helped out in and got to watch many free outreach performances. Free tickets to watch many ticketed performances. 5)June-July: Acted in theatre production, 'The Minister Wife?!'. Aminah being very very very scandalous. =.= Good times and bad times. Rehearsal processes. A special friend. Many memories. 6)Went on one day trip to Desaru with relatives in June. Went on a six days trip to Japan with santa in June. Went on a four day trip to HongKong with friends in December. fun and memories. (: 7) Orientations. WKWSCI FOC. Cluedo being an extremely personal affair. Best OG Penne (: Hall Orientation Camp. Xylons and the suppers, birthday tekan celebrations, cowboy D&D, hall bash @ zouk and all the hall activities. 8)University acadamic life starts. The cold and condusive for sleeping 253 lectures. The Potemkin horror. Gook-E. The ridiculous lit tutorials. The facebooking and word challenge craze during lectures. 9)Exam mugging. CS benches. Mug Klub. libraries. Can A macs. Full day muggings. Overnight muggings. Awesome seniors, friends and company. 10)Most happening December holidays in 20 years. (:

virgin escape trip! (:
Before my 2008 entry, ESCAPE deserves an entry on its own. :)
After 7 years of Escape plans which seemed cursed to not come true, I finally went on my virgin Escape trip on 30th December 2008! :D
I'm very grateful- there's just so many reasons to not go: other plans, lack of sleep from previous night, idea of paying to scare yourself, possibility of self-maluation, & seeing each other too much in the holidays already. ;)ThksChihuaSinyuYeashiEvadneKaijie :D
Wheees my first ever escape ride is the water slide! The idea of a 15metre drop into the river wasn't very comforting, with my past experiences and fear of water, but the sound effects, entertainment and laughter takes away any scariness and makes it fun. (:
Then was the horror vikings ship! Looks are deceiving! how did the zen girl does it! -tries to find a pathetic excuse- we sat right at the end of the pirate ship! hahahaha damn shocking lah, everytime it seems to be at its peak it just goes even higher. Traumatic. Even Japan's Hollywood Dreams coaster I sat in Disneysea(what I consider the most thrilling ride in my life) is better than Singapore Escape Vikings. haha maybe its because its a first, or maybe I'm just not cut to become a pirate.
Choochoo train and Helicopter are amusing, Haunted House is disappointing, Orange Julius is nice and refreshing, the lie-on-front ride is windy, the drivecar one is interesting and fun, and my favourite is the SPACE one! THE SKY AND CLOUDS ARE OH SO PRETTY~ :D
yayyy happy happy that Escape dream finally come true! <3

(:
so in the past 24 hours I puked, slept, got exam results, slept, vomited again, felt like dying, went for DO event in school, surprisingly felt much better in the company, went JP, Raffles City, Esplanade, Marina Square, played bridge, laughed, Tapas Bar CS Christmas Party, drank tiger beer which neutralize the acidity in my body, camhored, qingfeideyi and caught a midnight bus home. (:

A series of events and thoughts.
1. Sleeptalk Slept 10hours from 10pm-8am last night! How healthy is that! :D Received 18 missed calls from parents, and 10 smses (9 saying "Call home." and 1 pissed-off sounding one.) Irony! Its like how you always assume the worst of people when you don't know what happened. A nice way of putting it would be love. A bad way of putting it would be lack of trust. Sometimes its both. Okay I know in my parents' case it's both. -.- In another context, one may feel that the other is overprotective when the person is actually genuinely worried resulting in insensitivity and hurt. Either contexts, I had way too many bad experiences.
2. Bartending training Mixing rum, tequila and margarita with Drinkdings stirrings. free drinks ;) Simple Mojito, Apple Martini, Peach(?)Martini, and a mixture of apple&peach martini. cool stuff, I like the apple martini most! would love to try the more exotic flavours like chocolate peppermint! :D The real job is tml--christmas buffet and cocktails, sounds great! (: 3. Ahfang Supper at ahfang with feng and his friend. like ohmytian. Feng talks heavy topics like "planning for your future" and "investment" and "Keeping it real" His thesis statement is "We are all screwed by society." -_-" accompanied him at ADM's film editing lab till 4+am. :X Here is one of his final products. http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=686171182&ref=ts#/video/video.php?v=56450411182 I love this video quality! super cool stuff. 4. Christmas Haven't done any shopping, minus those I bought in Hk, going to shop for Aaron, roomie & parents today! lets hope the new JP doesn't disappoint. 2 days to christmas. 2 weeks to school. 1 week to results. ahhhhh everything is so ironic! I wonder, I wonder, I hate to wonder, but I still wonder. How it will be like. 5. Mahjong @ Yeashi's: first time in my life playing money lors. So first time learning about the "tais" too. Paired up with Amos--I won the first ever no-money trial round. :D (which I'm still very happy about) and Amos turned our luck around at the final 2 rounds, (I gave up hope liao:X) from less than a dollar left to a nett win! Mj lesson learned: The power of tais. LOL. Started losing again after Amos left :X Overall conclusion: The house always win! 6. DO NOT DISTURB-late checkout I knew it had an age restriction of 18, but nudity, fcks & homosexulity wasn't what I had in mind. I'm so glad I'm watching with roomie, and not anyone else! I realise yet again, how small Singapore theatre industry is. Its always the same people who perform/come for these performances. Tan Kheng Hua said during the postshow dialogue that it's mostly about the human heart, and how far emotions can bring people to. She said the actors are chosen based on their bravery and openness of their heart--their willingness to explore the human condition and human heart. Indeed its very true. Imagine a respectable woman being naked in front of audiences in a blackbox. Imagine a 21yearsold boy kissing a fortyplus man passionately. I guess its more real for me, watching a friend/co-actor acting in these contexts. I love Hadri's tender raw quality to his performance, very truthful and believable. (:

smile on for memories.
Chop chilli chop chilli chop x4. The nonya. I need the 100 dollars. I want to go to jail. AYKZ, TSH, CG. oink. Spongebob Squarepants meets Barbie. Ominous presence of meows lingering. Impossibility compulsion. Goodlooking types. Triangles in mechanical repetition. Amused traumatization. The mean kid. Not-so-early morning breeze. The surreality of it all.
"Like chalet." A whole new meaning to it. (:

crap la dont read.
3 weeks of holiday flew by. Sometimes I wish school would quickly start. I miss roomie. :(
What you see is not what you get. What people show may not be who they are. But when its about the self, its not really about the true self or false front you put up, but rather, how the different selves compliment. genuinely happy and cheery most of the time. trying to be happy and cheery some of the time so as to not be seen as a downer. and sometimes, just..heck. its gonna be 3 consecutive Saturdays in a row. and many many other days in a row too. Depressivity.

japjap
hee k-craziness this December. went singing 3 times in 2 weeks, and 2 more already planned to go. all with different groups of people. who all sings very different genres of songs. watched 5 movies in the past 2 weeks! I NEED TO STOP SPENDING. but..海角7号anyone? :P
anyway I recommand the JAPAN MEDIA ARTS exhibition at SAM! went today, it was different and refreshing. AND for those non-artsy people, there's cool wii games, 3d paper mario games and many uber cool games to play. but it ends this sunday!
2:17 a.m. 2008-12-11
happiness
Whees Supei is a happy girl today.
She finally found someone to watch Quarantine with! It was BK & Quarantine & Shopping with Seeeewahhh! (: Quarantine has an interesting narrative device! and its frightnightish horror. Then it was back to hall and dropped by ISG too late to watch frisbee done with the match, but not too late for Mos dinner that extended to KFC and Macs, :P with Jin, Sinyu, Evadne, Kaijie & Chihua! Stayed at Macs for hours chatting about everything under the sun..(: yayness. Anyway pictures! Went Shodoku for dinner with SiewHong, Yanmin & BoYuan on Monday! which is kinda crazy cos we all stayed BP and went all the way to town just for dinner! It was great catching up and chilling with this group of childhood-neighbourhood friends after uh a whole year! Went for some 10 course lunch at some coffee shop and then headed over to visit cookie! This is cookie! I so want a dog now! Or a rabbit also can. Went playground to play with Huimin, Carrine & Spensor, and we went 7eleven to buy maple slurpee! This is rrine and me with her piggy tutu! :D It was to Causeway Point to watch Four Christmas with Chris, Minn & Rine! with nachos&cheese&popcorn! but..Four Christmas is PAINFUL to watch. Okay, its funny. But as I told Chris, its SO family friendly with all its descriptions of breastfeeding, acts of violence, and excess kissing scenes. -.- This is Santa& Me at Gloria Jeans! It was so random lah, cos it was raining, and we walked finish the whole of cine, so we went to sit down at the gloria jeans outside, without buying anything. So. Camwhore. starts. before the rain stops and she brings me on a tour in SMU haha!(: hee i need to start making some sort of planner with all the stuff going on in december!

e-moo
I feel like I don't know myself anymore. Sigh, I'm always just so..moody. Another word might be emo. And I realise..that usually you tend to hurt the people you take for granted most. With maybe one or two exceptions. And then..maybe you'll lose them, which hurts, bad. Just because you're so stupid to let your emotions ruin everything. And even if there are some people that you just won't lose physically, there's no promises that you won't grow distant.
Been going out practically everyday since coming back from Hk, Programmers meeting, Santas trip to town, Shopping with Dorothy, Catching up with Weiyi, Carwash with FOC, Bolt & Umbrella painting with Aaron, Shokudo with SiewHong, Yanmin, BoYuan..Aaron says I'm a social butterfly. That is a term I totally disassociate myself with. I wish for pure slack and time for myself. And when I get that, I crave for company and starts emoing. And December is passing so quickly...both a good and bad thing.
11:55 p.m. 2008-12-06
carwash
Carwash at ECP today. It was okay. Haha it was kinda fun but very tiring. In the morning my group only had Yeashi, Chihua and (and had to kope Nurbaya over) but in the afternoon we became the group with the most people! yupps so its my first carwashing experience, it was interesting. haha. business was not bad, exceeded targets! yayee(: bbq after that. was susposed to go my hot date but aaron didn't reply my sms. :( romantic stroll with xinyi in the rain. (: (HAHA it was actually a walk to find a toilet when it started to rain.) but yea, ecp has the romantic-emo feel at evening/night la. walter gave me a leaf & satay stick. <.> siaosiaox...right. the super long bus-cum-mrt/lrt journey from ecp to bp was really enjoyable tho with sinyu, candy & kj, with all the hokkien nonsense, unfullfilled food temptations & neverending suanings.

december
Stars are damn annoying. :( not the stars in the sky, but stars module registration. stars are susposed to be all sparkly and shinny and gives you hope and light up your life. instead stars takes away hope and gloomifies your life. what irony.

I was so tempted to buy a caramel frap or java chip or dark mocha cherry! but sighs, resisted the urge cos I'm VERY broke. :( Met Caleb from programming subcomm, he stayed like 3 blocks away from me!!! such a concidence! hee (: this holidays seem busy. what I want to do (for now): 1. jogging in nanyang 2. iceskating 3. watch Quarantine! 4. Japan media arts event @ SAM 5. daiso shopping with roomie 6. drawers! 7. tidy/clean up/decorate hall room 8. kbox with many groups of ppl 9. badminton 10. swimming 11. go escape 12. memory trip to bukit timah area 13. memory trip to SRT area 14. bake christmas cookies/cakes/etc 15. christmas shopping 16. meet up with old friends! siewhongyanminyeumeijialeseewahweiyiwhereareyou! 17.
