muy bueno, R2D2!

I had a very very good week, excepting a few glitches here and there. The best news is of course:


MANCHESTER UNITED ARE KINGS OF EUROPE AGAIN!


9 long years is pretty darn long. The period saw the departure of Cantona, Becks, Sheringham, Yorke, Cole and the ageing of Fergie Fergs' original fledglings. Everyone saw the brilliance of Cristiano Ronaldo for the past two seasons and also his growing arrogance. But the question was if he, the old guard, new teenage signings Nani and Anderson, and the revived midfield could win the trophy after a few not-very-spirited tries. And they did! The Premiership AND the Champions League. Yes it came down to a lucky penalty shootout (where only I had faith in my team and that Terry would screw up as my boy and his cousin cowered in the corner). Still, am so proud of them. No apologies to moneybags Chelsea, witless Arsenal and barren Liverpool. The Red Army goes marching on on on!

Knocked out after the match until 2pm the next day then trooped down to AMK Hub to watch Indiana Jones. Old Indy still has the charm but the plot is really stupid. We paid student price so I'm not complaining (even though Ow was WTH throughout). It's just a good-time old school film. Even the plot is Cold War old.

Other good news include buying the materials for new clothes that Hannah's mom is making for me. HAPPY! I always enjoy my bubble tea and chats and laughter with Hannah. Plus her mom is the sweetest. Also buying new shoes at discounted prices. Awesome. Trippy times come when I shop.

We went to the vet today. Crosby was obviously in great discomfort and I hope the 3 jabs and antibiotics helped him. On a lighter note, he was a hit with the vet and her assistants. They were amused by his fatness and his bravery in taking injections. Personally, I think he just has too much fats and his skin is too thick to feel the sting. Also his tamed down boisterous personality is a sure winner. He's still friendly but less naughty when he's sick. But it really pains us to see him crouching because his tummy is too painful to lie on. There is no diagnosis but I'm praying it's not the worst because I've read about it and it's plain scary.

Today was just so... :( I will always remember Bikini's words this morning. Thank you! I think she's paraphrasing 1Samuel 16:7

"Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart."

While I have been criticized badly for this action, I know that I'm guilty of judging and jumping to conclusions in the first place. The eye sees the mirror and it does not like what it sees. Eventually, I wanted to do good but it backfired cos of one ignorant action. No more. I'm glad true friends can vouch for my character and I hope you will too. But even if you don't, the truth is in 1 Samuel16:7 and I can rest my case.

spliced and diced

...from everywhere for the past month. So it's a mega and random keepsake for my memories.

Today was post-exam cleanup in my dirrrty room. Took a picture of the lovely bouquets adorned upper shelf. I hope for the collection to increase! Hinthint. Anyway it's good to ditch useless study materials and rid the room (mostly) of dust.

Crosby on a particularly cute day. He has this hardened lock of hair peeking out from underneath his doggy beard. Poor thing is having a tummy ache and looking listless. He barely touched his dinner tonight.

After his bath, he runs around like a mad dog and we chase him out of our beds and couches because he flings water on them. As always, my dad indulges him so he gives him a half-hearted warning before playing tag with him. My dad...tsk. He's so weak-willed when it comes to Crosby.

The go-kart helmet that I bought for Ow to wear for my party on Crosby! How cute is that? It's too big for his adorably small head.

Collage made by my dear Jer for the said party. With PL girls! Angel brought her bike helmet..amusing all of us especially Ah Ma who had to wear it.

Hehe. I can't resist teasing Em about this very couple-y shot with Josh. Unintended and we both know he's promised! :D :D BIG WINK.

My lovely lilies and baby breaths from Em!



On the actual day, Ow brought me sky dining NOT sky diving, au contraire to what most people heard. This is the gorgeous toilet at Mt Faber/Jewel Box. It's set on the highest peak of the hill and the toilet except for the cubicles which are hidden are glass encased. I went in, felt like a princess until I turned to my left and saw a couple of Bangladeshi workers sunning themselves on the open patch of grass, just outside the window They were looking curiously so I quickly did my business and siam-ed. But not before I took a couple of photos. This toilet is too chio. Chioer than the zoo's and chioer than Ritz Carlton's or Conrad's(2 hotel toilets in Singapore which have left a deep impression on me because they're just so luxe. I love pooping at Conrad's)


Sun setting and some relief from the wind on that very warm evening. I felt so much turbulence from the cable car whenever it entered the different stations but was a cool experience. And the food was quite good too except that motion sickness hit me after awhile. Had to give some of my dessert to Ow. Bummer.

Bikni's present to me! Idiot didn't take out price tag. *sarcarstic clap ala Rooney* But was really touched cos Ow gave it to me at 11plus pm on the day before my birthday. He came to surprised me but couldn't wait at boring Heartland Mall any longer so he decided to turn up 1 hour before midnight. Noob. I remember tearing up when I read Bikini's card and Jo's card. And getting showered with 21 presents from Ow.

You know you are loved when someone makes sure you get your present even if it means paying extra shipping(but at the same time also ships some of her winter clothes to Ow), and when someone buys you Gossip Girls books (don't laugh I've been a fan way before the show started and the books are startlingly good. Like, pulp classic kinda good) and writes you a letter from Crosby with retarded handwriting. And you know you are especially loved when your scheming boyfriend schemes with your sister to scare you and make you angry but in the end very very happy.

Sake Sushi and TCC @ T3 with Chipmunk as a belated bday present from her. All the the pics we took together were in the toilets. The food was really darn good that day and I'm yearning for another round. Ow and I had Cedele last fri as a celebration for post-exams but I need my appetite that I had with Chipmunk back so that I can truly whack and be satisfied. The one thing I miss most is my ferocious appetite that made me a whopping 48kg once.
The Chipmunk I drew back when we were Sec 4! Chippie brought the scrapbook of sorts I gave her for lunch. We giggled like crazy over our nonsense. I think I'm a pretty good doodler. Today is National Doodle Day in the states. They were auctioning off doodles by celebs and I think they should have invited me! My birds, chipmunks, snails, little girls, lollypops, etc. are very worthy of a Doodler Award. Except that I'm not a celeb.

Ok I'm running out of steam for this post. I would love to post all my present pictures because they were the best presents I've gotten so far. And to show off. Haha. Maybe another time. Finally, then, Man U has won the BPL title in an extremely satisfying match. You can't help but fall for the man who stayed in the club since he was a boy and the red head bad tackler who scored the crucial goal in the semis of Champs League. The two players I respect most because of their sheer tenacity and refusal to participate in the glamorous but horribly shallow world. Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes, the 17th title is very much yours to hold.

MINDBLOWING. SEAT-GRABBING. EYES-POPPING. AND WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH SERENA'S GEISHA FACE?!

NY Mag calls it the "greatest show of our time" (NY MAG leh don't pray pray. It's not trash.) And while I think the label ought to be taken tongue in cheek, it's def one of the all-times.

Tonight's ep was brilliant. I think I nearly fell off my chair a couple of times. If you haven't watched Gossip Girl yet, no spoilers from me but I can help you burn a cd! I know all the haters say it's so WASPish and unintelligent and go watch Entourage or some hip or cooler than ice cold show. And how it propagates the Model Minority Myth. And the pretentious ones will criticize its blatant promo of materialism. Whatever la. It's beyond guilty pleasure for me already. I watch the show, I read reviews about it, I surf Shopbop and Net-a-porter and Saksfifthavenue fantasizing about the clothes(which I won't exclusively buy even if I'm filthy rich in the future because I think it's abit disgusting to spend so much on clothes), I read fanfics :( I'm hopeless. And I can't really pinpoint the reasons I like it so much. It can't be more generic than the handsome boys and pretty girls or the witty one-liners or the colour scheme or the whole Holly Golightly standing outside Tiffany's looking longingly which explains why proleteriats like us love the show. Haha!

It's beyond reason.

Beware: He really is a crazy driver.

This madman here known as Nathanael Lim reversed 100m on the main road today with incoming traffic so that we can be transported back from Tai Seng Turtle Soup to church without making a U-turn. Paul and I were rendered speechless in the back seat.

He also rolled his tire on Jo's foot once and when she stared at him in bewilderment, he rolled the tire over her foot again unwittingly.

He left Christopher in the car once to take 'something' from his house, parked in the middle of a narrow street. A car came along and Chris had no choice but to take over the wheel. Chris was 16. What was Nat doing? Playing with his X-box for a short while.

Bro, don't ever consider a career as a school bus driver ok? Children are innocent.


9:01 PM


the most traumatizing 20 minutes

I just killed a lizard. Jo and I cleaned up the mess. We are both horrified and disgusted. My skin is crawling. I didn't want to murder it but it was so stupid... it kept crawling towards my books and was at one point of time, happily perched on a plastic bag containing facial masks. Horrible thing. Squeamish feeling has died away but the hatred and fear of this thing that rhymes with wizard will stay. Maybe forever. Gosh.

I wish that Ow was here to help me dispose of it in his calm manner. He wouldn't have smashed it. He usually catches them with his bare hands or with some newspaper and toss them out of the window. But they drive me into an irrational frenzy... something like a frightened rage. And no way will I catch one with my hands. And no pranks too. I'm serious. Oh my goodness :(
