oh man i cant imagine this is just the start of my three months vacation. was really looking forward to it at first. but now totally not. mommy found herself a job. great for her at least she's got something to do. but something for her to do means nothing for me to do. and everyone just seems so busy. im soooo free that im now lying on my bed in my lil aircon room trying to take a short nap before my next tuition starts at 530pm. now is 3 and i've been in bed since 12pm. and yes it's nap. come on only aunties take nap and thats something i used to say. and the weather is wonderful but my lil eyes just dont shut.

perhaps it really time to plan a good timetable for myself. like wake up in the morning working out a recipe after breakfast then cook, draw and read in the noon before my lessons on party planning starts at 5pm on channel 16. oh well but this cant go on for three n a half months which is almost a hundred days. maybe i can take up some courses like baking class or designing class. and thanks god i've got myself a free eye lashes blooming session at browhaus and a lunch date with wan tmr. great. 

i can's wait for special sem to start and hope i'll be busy then.

came across this place while watching a show. its just like heaven, i guess this will definitely be the place i'll go when i retire. maybe someday when im lost, this is a place where i'll be. well this place is cold all round the season and it just suits people like me who cant stand walking on the street in the thirty degree celsius weather under the big fat hot sun. oh but for now, it's a so near yet so far dream place.

 

"After all, seasons change. So do cities. People come into your life and people go. But it's comforting to know the ones you love are always in your heart. And if you're lucky, a plane away."     - Carrie Bradshaw

these are real human models not mannequins or statue and if u've been to beijing's tian an men. they've got a pair of statue that resembles this. haa cool. five stars.

originally at the Tian An Men Square

this week was a super busy week. tue was our 111presentation. i guess roger and girls were kinda stunned by special outfit. like roger said, we had lovely curlers, shower cap and other props like mask, cushions and human-made weighing machine. oh well its really hard for u know glam girls like us to have curlers around our head haha but its so damn fun. and i really hope our hard work and fantastic idea do pay off well. after that fish, ruan mianmian yuting, yanyan and me decided to have very mini and own back to school day so we wore our respective jc uniform. wahoooo. ITS SO GREAT TO BE IN UNIFORM. something i only learn to appreciate now. haa and we wore it to matlab but its kinda paiseh to keep everyone's stare on us. then i had jap lesson. senei was like: 'joey-san. nani o desu ka?' haha' and of cos i just errrr. haa cos i totally dont know how to answer her in jap. and stupid me brought camera without sD card that day. so no preetty photos ):

wed, thur and fri was super tiring. physix, 122 and 112 midterms. and thank god its over. and so we girls decided to go pizza hut for a little treat. and we found out a new canteen 10 (jp's pizzahut)! haa its totally like packed with ntu peeps. and we see people we know everywhere. my 4 darlings decided to give a belated birthday surprise with cute hello kitty cake which i whined for while buying wanmei's cake a month ago. haha. we had the pizza hut people to keep our cake while we carry on with the food and i just happily told them it was my birthday when they asked who's the birthday girl. and i soon regretted saying that. after we finished our yummie food we asked for the cake. and the lights suddenly dimmed. at one moment i thought it may be just that the lightbulbs fused or they're trying to be romantic. but NO! it was followed by birthday song played from some kiddo cd. GOSH it was like super duper paiseh. they had the candles lit up and the waitress came up to shake my hand and said happy birthday. i totally dont know where to hide my face. haa. oh well this is the most maluating but funny birthday surprise ever. and perhaps my only birthday makan session this year. all thanks to pizza hut. but the most paiseh thing wasn't that they sang birthday song for me under the dimmed romantic light. the whole point is that TODAY'S NOT MY BIRTHDAY AT ALL! haa lucky they dont have like birthday special treat then ask for my i/c or student pass to verify. haha.

preeetty pictures to share...









and 10 hurrays for ntu new eatery cluster building! oh well we'll be having new food court, mac, subway, old chang kee, canadian pizza, some western food cafe and SAKAE SUSHI! hurray for new food! hurray for more food! hurray for expanding the library! hurray for more seats and shorter queues!

it's been 20 days since daddy left. think within this pretty short period of time i've learnt and realised alot. be it the good or the bad things. yes hurray, joey's no longer that young blur little girl.

Lessons learnt:

1. never believe what people promised. they're all bullshit.

2. your closest people may not be the best to you. but the best people will always be your closest people.

3. to live on and live well we gonna be ourself and love people we should love and leave no regrets.

4. never expect people to be nice to you. but be nice to yourself.

5. never expect to get back 100% of what you've contributed be it love, time or money.

afterall the key to survival in this world is to be a selfish brat who only cares bout him/herself. but is life going to be better off that way? perhaps im too naive in the past to think that everyone should deserve what they get according to how much contribution and effort they put in. but apparently the world is just not functioned in this way. we will never get what we give. and worse we get nothing. of cos to the closest people we should never care how much we give cos these people are our special ones. but when reality hit your face, u will realised how ugly and heartless this world can be. oh well, life still goes on. maybe we just need someone close to constantly remind us that there is still love in this world and there are still true people who're true to you. as for me they'll be my mommy, my family and those specials darlings whom no need to be mentioned cos u know who u are.

i've lost someone whom i've never learnt to love and appreciate, and even took him for granted. for now its too late for anything to be done. so i really do hope everyone will learn to appreciate and show all your concern and love to your closest one. perhaps this is just one selfish act of mine to hope u guys can fulfill what i haven't and could never be done. but being able to love one is definitely the best ever thing in the world just like being loved by someone.

lets move on (:

just wanna share today with all. 

this is definitely the best 20th birthday present. daddy is just so scared that a super blur sotong like me will forget him so he chose a day i'll always remember and he make sure he'll always be the first to give me his blessings every year.

and wasn't this what i wanted posted for my 2008's birthday wish list before. he heard my wishes and he dont wana me to be alone.

'think the only thing on my 2008's wish list is to spend great time with my lovely family and my darling friends......'

and true enough. im not alone. everyone will be here today with me.

im turning 20. i'll be strong and happy. i'll love mommy and myself and also each and everyone around me. and thanks all for the love and messages.

with love.
