fly me to the moon and let me play among the stars

nothing beats the weekends, hope that every weekend will be so happening and full of joy.

after school on friday, met up with leslie because i was pretty down. cried badly on the bus, and it was damm embarrassing but i just face outside as i was sitting beside the window. just couldnt help my tears, i tried to hold back. please dont ask why? anyway after meeting up, went bishan to have dinner at subway. ordered all the vegetables without knowing that it includes chilli also, next time "all except chilli". :) i could see myself eating subway's daily meals, but too bad hardly anybody eats subway. the bread is good (especially toasted, so crunchy), the vegetables are my favourites and the cookie, its holy and chewy. after that went up to the arcade, the sweet land machine there gives more luck than other machines elsewhere. really, i saw people striking 3s and there are mountains of sweets and we could choose any prize displayed in the machine. oh the screen with two balls flying around at the entrance, it isnt for show. if you manage to touch the ball, it will explode, believe it or not. xD after that went action city, and played with the toys. no, actually i hugged all those which i adored. look at the mamegoma toy, so huggably kawaii!

took pictures with all that i like except the rabbit, dog and elephant. leslie didnt want to help me take, they are so cute luhh.

saturday was probably one of the best outing which i attend to. i get to have a mini gathering my old brothers (but not all); namely alan, thomas, minghui, siew siong, jane. plus kaihong and his friend, call terry i think. met up at toa payoh at 4pm and they are really the best planners. booked the place, but not sure the restaurant is which branch and dont know what time the buffet starts. when we reached city hall, they called to ask where is the restaurant, forgot to ask what time. xD then we went to marina square, we thought back about last time everytime play the linked para para machines at the basement. now no more, so we went to the arcade beside the bowling alley and minghui played para para hard. after that he played para para mode, but he a lot of songs forget already.

i still could remember all that i learnt, so he let me play last stage. played already, felt more gian to play more. sadly a girl went to play, without high speed somemore. really damm slow (maybe we used to high speed already), and too bad we had to go too. went to find the japanese restaurant HANABI, and i think that place is really worth IF you could really eat and you dare to eat sashimi. 32$++ with not just japanese food, but even chicken cutlet, chicken wings, fishcake, whatever you like to eat. plus free cup of free flow green tea, cold or hot. had a hell of a time there, i really admire guys who can eat. they ordered maki (rolled sushi) and they came in 20s at a go. upon seeing really very stunning, but they really could eat many times of 20 maki. the chawanmushi there was the best, and we kept ordering sashimi, best! after that five of us shared a bottle of sake, and it was shiok. didnt know that have to drink it one shot, and it will be kind of sweet in the mouth. gian to drink more.

we ordered 38 cheese fishcakes altogether, thats how popular and nice it is. anyway after the buffet, we went back marina square as jane suggested bowling. they played three rounds, and i found out that i really love hanging out with them. probably because they are more matured, even when we talk among ourselves, we still will notice the bowler. we clap and give comments all those, like wont leave anybody behind. moreover even at a noisy place, if i said something, usually nobody bothers about me. surprisingly whatever i say, they will hear and talk to me. it felt great not being left behind anytime of the day, and could be entertained throughout the outing. i really love being with them, sadly we are distant already. jane and i had so much things to talk about, food, movie, friends, anything thats under the sun. she introduced me to vivo city's super dog's beef cheese fries, i cant wait to get a bite. carl's jr's beef chilli cheese fries isnt that good, the sauce kind of salty. anyway before going home, i took picture with the shrek on the pop out poster.

i love shrek and every other fairy tales, cant wait to catch that movie. oh i reached home pretty late, yet leslie wanted to give me a surprise for our 16th months together and waited for me since 10pm+. he bought for me the rabbit we saw the day before, so cute. and hes so sweet, made my day totally, entirely, happy. love loves ♥

going nuts due to the rabbit's cuteness. x)

yesterday went kbox with konghong, ignatius, ferline and gwyneth. quite sad that some backed up and pangseh-ed us.

glad that benson then joined us later, sorry didnt take another group picture. anyway nothing much to sing about, recently i only craze about english (rock) songs. didnt have much feel or mood to sing either, feel like slacking only. sometimes its because when someone is singing, the rest quite noisy, then like isolating the one singing. moreover im not familiar with many chinese words, quite hard to want sing properly. anyway after that we accompanied ignatius to ang mo kio hub to meet his mother, while we had dinner there. the food court not bad, i tried the fried hokkien mee. was pretty embarrassed when i said "hokkien mee 不要饭", even the uncle laughed and said "hokkien mee 没有饭". then i laughed and corrected "不要辣", actually i was thinking of "不要放辣椒" but got stucked. xD next time i want to try the bibimbap benson ate, some korean mixed vegetables with rice. i ate before at marina square, just my kind of dish, with many vegetables and an egg. we walked around ang mo kio hub, then later went back toa payoh's night market. wanted to eat those food, but played crocodile at the playground first. last time secondary school i everytime played that, it was very fun and we sweated a lot. oh i knocked my head onto the monkey bar, now my baluku still hurts. after playing, i had my prawn bakery (prawn ball with small toasted bread on it) and we headed home.

today went school as usual, 9am to 5.30pm. did the thumb scan to clock in and clock out, quite funny that kaisheng couldnt clock out. played go!fish with them, i taught kaisheng first as we had nothing better to do. then we had more players, and even played 2 decks, which means have to get 8 cards of the kind for a set. it was crazy but pretty exciting, next time could try with my friends. :D oh ya, there is this lecturer who will always talk to me upon seeing me, well most of the time. it started when he saw me at bishan, and i told him that i went to gym. since then his first sentence to me will be "never go gym arh" everytime he sees me, but nowadays he asks about my mp/sip. so today when he talked to me, he didnt bloody look at my face. it was as if my face was on my chest as he kept scanning and looking at my body while talking to me. really damm uncomfortable and scary, somemore my friends said before they saw him steamed during a combined class meeting. - = so after school, nigel, kaisheng, winston, jasper and me went bugis to walk around and they shopped. i tried to catch a tigger doll with a rabbit on its tail (HOW CUTE), but gave up after spending 3$. later then had dinner at macdonalds, so glad that the double filet-o-fish is back. i prefer double, but too bad it isnt permanant on the menu. after dinner, winston left and we took bus to plaza singapura. nigel's mother fetched him and the three of us walked to orchard. the junction near paragon has a new traffic system. at one point of time, all the lanes at the junction are stopped and the junction is totally bare. could cross, run around, skip, crawl, however you like to any part of the road, for about 30seconds. x) saw people shouting and hopping and waving while crossing the road diagonally. after that we went topshop to look around, i found one tyrian purple sunglass nice but 30+$ yikes. after that we went with jasper to fetch his girlfriend and then they went our seperate ways. got to finally drink the vitasoy milk in a bottle, damm nice. tired tired. tomorrow is labour day, happy holiday.

best of regards to leslie's great grandmother.

five friends from tp hit the road.. and the road hit back.

wild dogs
today was the first day of MP/SIP but we didnt have anything to do, or rather dont know what to do. our supervisor is quite a slacker, he even postponed our meeting to the next day. so in the end we had more than 4 hours of break, we decided to hit the road with the car. first stop was tampines mall where we had our lunch at long john. the new wrap set was pretty reasonable and i even add on my favourite skin on potato chips. oh saw this really cute puzzle sets.

not the doraemon, but the hello kitty and charmmy kitty. kawaii kitties. after that we headed back to the car and drove to almost nowhere. in the end we went seletar reservoir where nigel made turns and turns (with drift sound) and winston had his test drive for the first time around too.

the flowers there are pretty.

and the baby monkey is so small and cute. didnt dare to take a closer shot, scare they scratch me or something. after that we headed off again, this time to pasir ris park.

going nuts due to nigel's driving lol.

still going nuts and thus we decided to act like mafias. at pasir ris park, we played the playground there. i was wearing my heels, so didnt join them playing on the spiderweb and all.

theres a pretty high slide, but too bad quite dirty they said. a few kites were stucked on the trees too, and lots of sand went into my heels. i even fell into a hole at the beach and more sand went in, damm uncomfortable and pokey. so i went to the nearby deserted and closed "open area cafe" to sit on their chair to remove the sand in my heels. they joined me then they found a bottle of martell. yes a bottle of real martell and not contaminated by urine or whatsoever. and we took it, but actually none of us dared to take it. soon we transferred the martell into a ice mountain water bottle and travelled back to school. only jasper, winston, nigel's friend and me drank the martell, i drank a sip only. after that i left the bottle somewhere. soon shawn went on his first ride with winston and nigel, they came back with something to laugh about.

knocked down a STOP sign post. after that nigel dropped us at khatib where we headed down to toa payoh. winston left first, so kaisheng and me accompanied jasper to collect and try on his contact lens. was pretty funny to see him putting on the contact lens, he tried for like an hour plus. then later followed them to take bus and it was home sweet home. what a road trip and tiring day. x) wanted to upload a funny video of our road trip, but its too long to be uploaded.

please note that no one was hurt during this road trip. probably jumping of stomachs only.

its better that i see it through your eyes

step one: you say we need to talk
he walks you say "sit down its just a talk"
he smiles politely back to you
you stare politely right on through
some sort of window to your right
as he goes left and you stay right
between the lines of fear and blame
and you begin to wonder why you came

where did i go wrong, i lost a friend
somewhere along in bitterness
and i would have stayed up with you all night
had i known how to save a life

let him know that you know best
cause after all you do know best
try to slip past his defense
without granting innocence
lay down a list of what is wrong
the things you've told him all along
and pray to god he hears you
and pray to god he hears you

where did i go wrong, i lost a friend
somewhere along in the bitterness
and i would have stayed up with you all night
had i known how to save a life

as he begins to raise his voice
you lower yours and grant him one last choice
drive until you lose the road
or break with the ones you've followed
he will do one of two things
he will admit to everything
or he'll say he's just not the same
and you'll begin to wonder why you came

where did i go wrong, i lost a friend
somewhere along in the bitterness
and i would have stayed up with you all night
had i known how to save a life


its music video made me cry.


today will be the last day of my long holiday. going to be working on a project for the next 19 weeks from 9am to 5.30pm. thats pretty long, with no holiday no breaks in between, but hope its not that lifeless as it may seem like. :) my project is about a remoted vehicle which has to be low cost (thats why they asked us to do) and it has to go 100m under the deep sea and survey underwater. sounds tough, its really a real thing which the company wants! hope we can succeed, maybe if we are good, we will be rewarded too? moreover they will be spending a few K on this project, so we could also test it out. anyway friday we had the meeting with the company manager at 9.30am, kaisheng was so late. called him then wake up, what a fat fat. so the manager was a graduate from temasek polytechnic so looks quite young, quite handsome and dark because he is a diver whos in charge of all the underwater job. after the meeting, nigel drove kaisheng and me to thomson plaza to have lunch. he drove quite unstablely, really felt like vomitting when i had an empty stomach in the morning.
like what bloggers do x)
we had the student lunch set at pizza hut, it was surprisingly not expensive. the lunch set was 7.95$ and for students it will be further discounted to 5.95$, how cool. we stayed at the pizza hut for quite a long while, and then walked around but there wasnt anything at thomson plaza so we went to nigel's place. his house was awesome, three storeys and two living rooms. we then watched cartoon and mtv channel in the mini living room on the second storey. after that we went to fetch jasper at SSDC and we then had lunch at nanyang polytechnic.
while waiting
then they dropped me at angmokio central where i took bus to go tuckyong's place. after playing a couple of mahjong, we left to geylang with chicken wings which tuckyong's mother cooked. the chicken wings were tasty, so were the dim sum we ate at geylang. overall it wasnt expensive, so can go eat again next time. the prawns inside the chee cheong fun and ha gao are HOLY. i dont mind eating many many ha gao and chee cheong fun only, lol. it wasnt my first time there, but we just explored around. tuckyong and isaac were the baits and walked in front, but too bad there wasnt any amusing happening. x) after they having their bean curd and soya bean drinks with youtiao, we left to take bus already. then leslie, weixiong and me alighted earlier than tuckyong, isaac and ferline. was a pretty tiring day.

yesterday went suntec with leslie to finally buy my handphone keychain which i have been waiting for more than a month.
<3kuromi
the new part at suntec called My Playground was pretty cool, but not all the shops are opened yet. cant wait to shop there next time. so many shopping centres nowadays, like the Central at clarke quay, Square2 at novena, two more shopping centres at orchard road, and one at sentosa, cant wait cant wait! talk about cant wait, next month of may there will be so many awesome movies too. top favourites will be Spiderman 3 (1 may), Pirates of the Carribean: At World's End (24 may) and Shrek 3 (31 may)! :) ate at carl's jr, im so loving it. especially that the texas toothpicks are back, my all time favourite (with my favourite sauce, salsa). oh then we played a machine called Sweet Land Premia, caught a lot of toys and sweets but just didnt get the jackpot even after spending 60$. some couple was pretty lucky that the techician didnt lock the casing and an auntie pushed the jackpot for them when they showed the auntie and opened the casing. what a cheat! nevertheless, the 31 toys we caught are cute and the candies aint that bad. next time dont play that machine anymore, or any others, waste money if dont have the luck and all.

a fake exit door at My Playground.

nowadays prefer to play fun maps, such as pimp my peon. im getting the hang out of it, i was a noob and yesterday i actually won for the first time. was quite happy and proud of myself, had a whooping level of 120+. hope i can defeat mr fat fat.
next weekend, sushi buffet and kbox here i come! x)

i only want sympathy in the form of you

happy with my 4 new songs which i got today:

1. Over It - Katharine McPhee
record a video to tell your boyfriend you are giving up on him. high tech and memorable.

2. Give It To Me - Nelly, Timbaland, Justin Timberlake
its just so hip.

3. Dont Matter - Akon
nobody wanna see us together
nobody thought we'd last forever
i feel i'm hopin' and prayin'
things between us gon' get better
men steady comin' after you
women steady comin' after me
seem like everybody wanna go for self
and don't wanna respect boundaries
tellin' you all those lies
just to get on your side
but i must admit there was a couple secrets
i held inside
but just know that i tried
to always apologize
and i'ma have you first always in my heart
to keep you satisfied


4. I Wanna Have Your Babies - Natasha Bedingfield


HEY last week's wednesday (11th april) i went clubbing with my friends at st.james power house. it was my first time clubbing there and until late; its closing time at 4am.

saw edward and his friends there, the girl (forget name already) said to me "看看就好" because of my lack of experience and also due to my age, which was true i guess. well it was pretty fun and i still dont know my limit to alcohol lol, next time then try. though it was ladies night, free entry and 5 drinks, it was bloody troublesome because ladies have to queue up to get their drinks. and moreover there was only ONE pathetic counter where the ladies could redeem. as the night turns late, and the clubbers multiply, how the hell ladies still have the mood to queue up for a bloody drink or two when it was so crowded and wild. at least have a counter some place where its not so crowded, easier to listen to the orders and for the ladies to queue too. that night i drank tequila pop, vodka cranberry and tequila shot. the shot was pretty power, lol my nose got steamed. some kind of gas or what just shot out of my nose after i take the shot one gulp, amazing. it was awesome, i would like to take shots again. woo i cant wait to grow older, okay but not frequently i swear. :) gladly ladies night had hiphop/rnb which was great, i love some of the great songs. had fun overall, and gained some real life experience. like guys standing so close behind me, so close that i knocked onto their faces or chests. then there was once when ferline and i got surrounded by guys whom we cant brush off our asses. ferline still said hers was nerdy looking and mine was at least quite good looking, i didnt turn to see the guy. he bloody touched my waist and i got a shock so i called for her, she said when she turned to look at him, he kept away his hands quickly. funny piece of crap. xD

some of my friends know that i have a secret hidden layer of dumb hair at my forehead there. since its growing longer, i thought of playing with it. by looking stupid.
aint i a cutie? x)
teeheex.

a sweet talking sugar coated candyman

she dont care about my car
she dont care about my money
and thats real good because i dont got a lot to spend
but if i did it wouldnt mean nothing

she likes me for me
not because i look like Tyson Beckford
with the charm of Robert Redford
oozing out my ears
but what she sees
are my faults and indecisions
my insecure conditions
and the tears upon the pillow that i shed

she dont care about my big screen
or my collection of dvds
things like that just never mattered much to her
plus she dont watch too much t.v

and she dont care that i can fly her
to places she aint never been
but if she really wants to go
i think deep down she knows that
all she has to say is when

she likes me for me
not because i hang with Leonardo
or that guy who played in "Fargo"
i think his name is Steve
shes the one for me
and i just cant live without her
my arms belong around her
and im so glad i found her once again

and im so glad i found her once again
and im so glad i found her once again

gazing at the ceiling
as we entertain our feelings in the dark
the things that we're afraid of are gonna show us
what we're made of in the end

she likes me for me
not because i sing like Pavarotti
or because i am such a hottie
i like her for her
not because shes phat like Cindy Crawford
she has got so much to offer
why does she waste all her time with me
there must be something there that i dont see

she likes me for me
not because im tough like Dirty Hairy
make her laugh just like Jim Carrey
unlike the Cable Guy
but what she sees
is that i cant live without her
my arms belong around her
and im so glad i found her once again
(she loves me for me) found her once again
(she loves me for me) once again
(she loves me for me) im so glad i found her once again


though its a pretty old song from 1999, and i heard it just a few days ago on the radio at a shopping mall, i simply fell in love with it. and i cant listen enough of it. when i tried finding its music video, i was shocked to realise that the singer is a nigglo. really doesnt sound like, more like those famous (white) boy bands.

yesterday went out with leslie, my darling lol. he sure happy to see this sentence. anyway didnt want to go in the beginning because he had soccer in the morning then was raining too. didnt have anywhere to go either, so we just boarded the 105 bus from the bus stop near my house to orchard. went to far east to shop around, and we stayed there until dinner. so we left to wisma where he found a nice orange top at topshop but the size was quite big, and sadly no more smaller size already. too bad! though it made my heart itchy, it was really a swell top. after that it was pretty late already, so we headed back toa payoh and wanted to drink the almond paste. but the shop closing already, no more also. took this picture using the timer shot, and edited it to look kind of classic.

look like those kind of photos my parents took back then. xD

heres a music video which i like! like every bit of the video. :) the story of white girl and black boy.
