2008^^

alright.. i muz update.. i know.. so.. get ready for a real long entry.. adapted from lj..

alright.. its already an hr since i bathed.. the thing is.. i wanted to update.. on all the happenings before i go back on my assignments.. but somehow, the time passes so fast that its already an hr after my bath.. *laughs* alright.. basically, i celebrated christmas after christmas.. *laughs* and i jus realised something.. i forgot to take photos of several things!! jus when i wanna do that end of year JE meme.. *laughs* nvm.. i'll wait for the end of this year then^^

Christmas outing
so.. i went out with my clique and also our dearest TSO lin liang.. haha.. she was sick that day though.. poor thing.. anyway, we went to eat at this restaurant.. its dim sum buffet.. finally!! but then.. the food is jus satisfactory.. to me.. haha.. so i think i ate quite a lot of varieties.. total of 28 at least^^ and xiao long bao.. i finally had it.. but blame it on the restaurant.. its not as nice as what i tot.. one thing.. i ordered 2 plates of some wrap with fruits called 什果筒, which is fruit cylinder.. so i kept complaining that the "fruit tong" was not coming.. and i got everyone laughing again.. haha.. but in the end, it really didn come.. argh.. so.. i guess we'll have to go for a better restaurant next time..

after that, we went to vivo city for the gift exchange.. everyone has to buy something of budget around $5 for the person who you're assigned to.. its decided by lot.. sooo.. i got meizi.. haha.. are we fated or something? though she didn get mine la.. haha.. anyway, then we split into 3 grps of 2 to shop.. *laughs* at first i was there saying alone.. like buy alone.. but in the end.. we ended up going in pairs.. so i went with erica..

the thing is.. its difficult to find a present of such budget.. cuz its kinda high standard in vivo city.. so after going around for a few times.. and getting lost twice, i finally decided to get meizi's present from daiso.. haha.. i love daiso.. all japanese products, going at only $2!!! haha.. so in the end, i bought a bowl and a pair of chopsticks for meizi.. while erica bought candies, a card and a bag from daiso, for $4.90.. on the dot^^ the thing is.. we have to come out with reasons as well, for the present we buy..

anyway, we met up again. and went to the roof area and sat there.. cuz i was the only one standing, i ended up presenting first.. so i was super embarrassed la!! i dono why.. its so awkward.. haha.. anyway.. i said, its for meizi.. then i handed the present over like what graduation ceremony.. *laughs* meizi played along!! anyway, the reason is.. "there was a time i went out with meizi to daiso, she was exclaiming about how beautiful the bowls are, so i tot i'll get her a bowl.. but then the budget is $5, so i tot get her a pair of chopsticks as well since its useful.. like a set.."

then it was meizi's turn.. haha.. she presented to erica, a table mat(cat pic) and a chopsticks holder(also cat).. the reason? cuz erica loves cat.. easy.. then erica presented to jaslin(which i somehow sort of guessed out while buying.. the reason? see below..).. and it was a small pack of candies and a card from precious thoughts, and a pink bag from daiso.. the reason is because jas loves Pink and precious memory.. so its so obvious..

then jas's present was for star/wanling.. haha.. then it was a necklace with a heart shape pendant.. its special because the heart shape jewel in the pendant can be taken out and changed to another colour, which was bought along with that necklace.. its so cool!! anyway, the reason? for star, and her "angel" and her future child(i came out with this.. :P).. and star's present is for lin liang(realised how nice is the link? no breakage.. like its a round..).. its a cup.. haha.. but seriously, i cant remember the reason? cuz star didn say loud enough? then.. yeah~ my present, from lin liang.. haha.. you know what? she gave me an "I-relax" from action city.. its an eye massager.. the reason? cuz i slp late and have dark circles.. haha.. what only!! but then, thanks!! i love it! its nice^^

The Warlord movie + rest of the weeeek
then on the 27th? i went out with yanxuan to watch warlords.. my goodness.. that is one gore movie.. not very, but definitely challenging my limit.. what happened is that, its about war.. and there were sooo much killing.. but the time the movie finished, i felt so empty.. it seems like i dono what i'm watching.. like there isnt any meaning in that movie.. all i see is killing.. and i felt so lonely.. which is why i had that post previously.. i can get emo too.. not bad^^ *laughs* the original plan was for kbox with nigel and wenqi.. but wenqi had something on last minute.. sooo.. nvm.. but nigel is going for army soon.. shld msg him later.. haha.. kinda wasted..

then i slacked so much for friday, saturday.. finally, on sunday, i went out again.. *laughs* with meizi and wenhui to sakae.. i spent $1.20, eating half a serving of chawanmushi.. sakae changed their menu.. not nice anymore.. argh.. then out to orchard with mai.. haha.. and basically, i accomplished nothing..

31 dec 2007 - 1 jan 2008
obviously i have to dedicate a subtitle for that day.. *laughs* yesterday i mean.. its.. i think, my most enjoyable end of year.. firstly, i went online kinda early, and i managed to chat a little bit with friends like siyuan, jess, mai and alinia.. then i did sort of a mass lj friend wishing thing.. haha.. its not all.. but i tried..but i'm wishing everyone here a Happy New Year!!(am i too late? gomen~) anyway.. haha.. first ureshii thing, i watched the JE countdown!! haha.. though not all the parts, but i managed to watch some.. and its awesome!! i heard this year's countdown@sg was very boring and all.. i didn watch anyway.. i was online busy chatting.. hehe^^

anyway, the main thing is this.. haha.. i chatted with 2 friends overseas^^ namely foofeh and mousee^^ though occasionally i had to return to my work or something.. but it has been a long time.. esp with foofeh!! almost 2 mths? my goodness.. i enjoyed that chat very much^^ hope you did as well, foofeh!! *laughs* on the other hand, mousee said that it was only with me then she can get into a fangirling mode.. so was that my fault? *laughs* i think foofeh and i chatted for almost 6 hrs.. that's scary.. haha.. cuz the time difference between us is like 12 hr? oh, 13 hrs to be exact, cuz of the daylight saving.. haha.. while mousee and i have time difference of 7 hrs.. i definitely had a wonderful New Year night!! yeah~!!

Thoughts on 2007
well.. i cant remember much frankly.. about the happenings and all.. but i'm glad that NEWS came into my life, and all thanks to Mai!^^ definitely, there were unhappy things that happened.. but there were happy things that happened as well.. but i couldn remember much.. moreover, i didn start blogging until jun.. so its really hard to recall.. maybe i can think of major things.. for example.. how badly i done for my y1 s2 exams? it took place last year during feb.. well.. how i realised there were lovely complex movie and made mai interested in japanese drama and all^^ and how mai went into a teppei craze after lc movie.. then from there to dramas.. and pi^^ yes.. i sincerely Thank Mai for bringing me into a fandom.. though it is hard to maintain a fandom.. moreover, i already have one fandom.. i thank her for all her efforts in making me watch NwP, listening to Love Song, memorising the lyrics, singing it out, emphasizing the perf where tego sang it and pi appeared at the back.. *laughs* more and more.. and i jus realised.. i think, LC is the thing that really linked me to all these.. from how the movie lead mai into fandom and dragging me in, and how Tegomass sang for LC.. not to mention that, i already know bout LC, that song, but not Tegomass..

it was seriously funny!! oh!! one major thing.. i got my internet connection.. and i moved back to my room.. i cant believe i forgot bout all these.. during mid may if i'm not wrong.. anyway.. that LC thing.. haha.. i'm listening to KISS as well.. *laughs* this song came at the right time^^ so i guess i knew bout Pi already, then i sort of know the presence of NEWS as well.. then mai had to tell me that tegomass was a sub grp from NEWS.. then i understood.. moreover, i can remember all the times we went to the library, i took those magazines, and i started translating for Mai cuz she was interested in it.. (there were pi as well.. so many!!) but i wasn even interested at all.. totally.. *laughs* the worse thing, i remember one small column had massu there.. and i was like asking mai, "eh, this one is that tegomass person right? the NEWS person.." i cant even say out the name!!! my goodness.. the few names that i knew that time were "yamapi", "kame", "maki"(alright, not a JE.. but she acted in NwP.), "tego".. alright.. that's all.. and i didn know the FULL name of these ppl, only theses quoted names.. *laughs* i wasn interested then ok!!

then one fateful(is that how you use it?) day, i went my neighbour's hse to use internet overnight.. chotto!! i forgot when i got my internet connection!! haha.. if during june i had to go over to brenda's, then i think my internet connection came after.. i cant figure out.. i'm currently doing a search in my gmail chat history.. *laughs* anyway, that fateful day, i got interested or something, and i wen to ask mai for that perf of tego and pi singing love song.. too bad we couldn find it.. but i found something.. daite senorita.. haha.. HEY3 perf.. yeah~ then it all started.. all the fangirling and all.. so i can say the official date for me liking loving pi is 19/06/07.. while NEWS is 01/07/07..

*laughs* its always like this.. i'll like one member first, before liking the whole grp.. yeah~ jus confirmed.. the day i got my internet connection.. 01/08/07.. now i wonder how i mass dl NEWS songs on 01/07/07.. haha.. so many things happened when i was reading thru my previous chats.. anyway, i think that 2007 is an enjoyable year for me.. as NEWS entered my life.. which brought me more fun happenings.. and thru NEWS, i got to know a bunch of friends as well!^^ i'm grateful!! so.. May 2008 be a good year for me as well.. yeah~
