hk, dang ngor ah!

sob! just received a call from bern, hk seems so exciting!though yesterday wasn't as exciting for her as i thought out to be. ladee! no worries, i'm sure it'll turn out fine after a few weeks!

argh.. i really wanna be there right now. away from skool work, shopping and eating. only. sigh.


came home freakin late, around 11pm. this is the first time i've stayed in skool till 10plus! omg. everyone's rushing wit SPSS(which most of em are done wit) and the power point slides for IP. not forgetting the churnin up of ideas period before that too!


how funny, my group really win others hands down on procrastination. haha. but well, we are in this together, ain't we darlings?! so, fear not(though we were quite frightful after seeing the progress of the other groups), we will sure be able to get through the dark tunnel. halfway to the exit already!

and remember babes, don't trust others too much, you never know if they have intentions other than angelic. well now we know right? we learnt our blardy lesson.


lesson of the day: never trust others who are competing wit you. no matter how much care and concern they showed in the past. just don't ever trust!

bel asked me along for a dose of zouk. why is the timing always not right? i've got so much things to do which can't be done within a day or two babe! and the stress level is simply too high for me to really enjoy zouk. i'll club wit a sense of guilt. not recommended.

maybe club next week?since my IP is on wednesday. and i'll feel free after that!
oh, but wait, i've got the exams coming along. shite. i nearly forgot. we shall see about it then. or maybe i'll hafta give zouk a miss till it reopens...........

oh yeah and unlucky char and i got caught by the librarian for eating. damnit. and the old aunty can even joke about it,' wah! what you all eating ah? let me see!' see shite ah!
after seeing still wanna issue samman to us. damn dumb la! after seeing, she added, 'wah eat sushi somemore! don't go overboard ah.' as if we care! and she happily asked for our student pass and further added ' wah fingernails so pretty ah, red color.' it's not even red loh irritating librarian! grrrr. 'your advisors and respective lecturers will receive the notice of you gurls eating here ah.'

as if they'll care. gah. and to the irritating old aunty librarian, why don't you issue samman to the group of guys who talked and laughed out loud? and not forgetting, you even flirted wit em? eek! how gross!


well, i'm in amidst of thinking up more ideas for MCOM. back to work now.
hope tomorrow i won't hafta drag my ass home as late as today. hahaha. i wish only!

lazy effie!

stress-o-meter

the past two days were rather crappy. my stress-o-meter went up a high of 8/10.

my eyes were still pretty swollen today from the useless arguement we had last night. pretty glad that my parents were doin everything they can to make me feel better. i can actually feel the extra concern they showered me which accompanied everything they do since last night. =D thanks mummy and papa!

silly papa of mine even troubled himself to try to solve the problem. and the ediot is still denying what she has done.

sometimes, small lil actions you do will hurt someone bigtime. you just don't notice it.
so open your farking hearts folks, and sense if you did anything that hurts anyone in every way or another. matters might be small or tiny, but at the end of the day, all these lil tiny shites will land you in big shite. or at least the affected victim.

i'm lacking of sleep and took a short nap a while ago. not really a nap but i fell asleep while watching tv,literally. my usual dose of hk show wasn't on tonight so i was too bored i guess.
and of cos dead tired! the blardy useless thing caused me few hours and dragged my bedtime to 5am.

quite disappointed wit getting a B for IBS only. thanks to my last minute gesture which leads to nervousness and reading of my notes infront of mrs chew. i know that must be the problem that landed me wit a B =(

anyways im glad the stupid SM quiz-which i screwed up, and IBS is over, so we're left wit MR report and Integrated Presentation(IP) now. lighter load left.
good.

met up wit bern and cheryl yesterday after skool to show her the hk shopping mag. sigh.
i really wanna go too! infact i was so excited asking if she packed her luggage, what she's bringing, discussing which malls to go, what to eat, where to go, blah blah.

i'm desperately awaiting for December to arrive. =(

the supposedly interview yesterday was cancelled while i was on ma way to skool. damnit.
they had the position filled up already. i was like, wtf?then why on earth did they even call on an interview then?wierd people, crapping up my plans!

no interview = no $$$ = :(

but it's okay, since i gotta get my ass busy wit IP. so i guess i'll need to get a job immediately after the exams! and wit no delays please.

Sunday

had lunch at Kallang airport food centre and walked around the shops upstairs. good food plus good place. you can find treasures amongst the old shops that are tearing down soon. popped into this optical shop which has really dope shades. tried a few but can't decide. price wise? 20plus-that's what the unkle said, not specifying 20 what. haha.

was back home changing my bed spread and semi-cleaning my room. hadn't really cleaned since CNY. hahaha. and while i was cleaning my precious lil cuddlelies, my dog wit bone broke into two!

at that point of time i had to things up my mind.
1. omg! shite! it's a gift!
2. cool! it actually looks like a set of head and body. sold separately. lol.

well sunday has always been a day- in -slow motion for me.


hope the week ahead is gonna treat me better.
and awaiting for bern to be back wit exciting stories!


or maybe herman should tell me online?

i <3 polka dots

Rant.Rant.Rant. |3:00 AM|

yum phat festival

i am fat today. okay not fat but bigger. cos i ate simply too much today.

met rong around 5pm in town and decided on crystal jade kitchen. pei dan chok! wah! my favourite! so thick and mouth watering! you don't get such thick choks(porridge) anywhere in singapore you know! or maybe i don't know? who cares. but i know hong kong has it everywhere!:(

walked around town after the late lunch and rong bought some tops from topshop. again. i think topshop is never missed whenever we're in town. i wish i can shop like him =( gotta resist for shanghai's trip! argh.

had 'dinner' and chilled at rocky master. pretty quiet. good.
that's what i need.

we took tonnes of video today. haha it was pretty fun to take retarded videos of ourselves! too bad, i can't post it up here. gee.

we headed down to esplanade to meet bern and left shortly after. thank god my place wasn't as quiet as usual cos' i reached home only around 1am. thank god nothing freaked me out.

it was kind of a waste that we didn't manage to catch The Aftermath of Karaoke. made it a point to catch the gig initially but was too lazy to rush on down today. sigh.

i can't wait for the exams to be over.
nah, not because i'm anticipating the trip to shanghai, but cos' that would mean goodbye to the load of stress i'm handling. i can already feel it, so imagine next week, how bad it'll be?
wit the IBS solution call, SPSS, not touched yet by my group, MR report, and IP for all 4 modules, we can be prepared to slog 24/7 soon! and i've yet to get a tan!

tanning session is slated for next week, but it gotta depend on the list of things i gotta do. argh. sometimes i really wonder why i didn't get into tourism or any other specialization which is much more slack.
to those who're complaining about the amount of stress they're getting, please don't even complain about it! you haven't seen the worst of it.


couldn't really enjoy my saturday wit ease. the load of work just keeps popping up in my mind. argh. i hate this feeling.

gotta attend the interview on monday at 4pm after the MCOM consultation wit miss tan. yet just received a message from my groupmate that we gotta discuss SPSS on monday. omg. wonder where can i squeeze in the slot. maybe meet in the morning? darn the interview! why isn't it scheduled earlier?! grrrr. unlucky me.

hope the coming week is gonna treat me better.

and shitty shitty, kit just told me that poptart is spinning at zouk on the 10th of Sept! and my exams start on the 9th.

fark shite.
i never seem to be able to catch them in action.

grandpa's day out

Monday

was ah gong's birthday today. ain't sure how old is he. but i know he is 80+. heee.
went over to grandma's house in the evening before heading to kallang airport's food centre. guess both ma grandparents really wanna go back in time to the days when my ah ma used to sell chee kway there. yum yum! her chee kway never fails you, okay!

but dinner wasn't exactly good though. kinda sucked in fact. maybe cos' they aren't exactly dishes that i favour. hee. but nonetheless, it's okay, it's my family here wit me that counts ain't it?
dessert was a disappointment with most stalls not opened on a typical monday. only got to eat ice kachang.
i wanted ah ballings, but the dinner made my tummy a lil cranky. =( and sadly, there ain't any almond paste or tau huay available.

Today

met Bern for some job interview-i guess it's for events and roadshows- at kembangan plaza, only to arrive there to fill up the application form. waste of time!

brought my favourite bruce lee shades out today,but didn't really wear it. i knew it would be a waste of money! but i still like it! i love the retro-inspired(or shall i say bruce-lee inspired) frames. =D it's okay, effie will get to wear it SOON.

so happy for Bern, our conversation today only about hongkong and nothing else. noticed it, Bern? haha. ho sei mut nei ah! dai ngor yat chai hui la! or dang ngor yat chai hui during December! =( i wanna go agnes b, i wanna get birks there, i wanna shop at i.t, i wanna yum cha, i wanna mai ye, i wanna fing lo gong! haha.
okay, the last one is a joke. hee.


Herman, you know what to do when Bern arrives right? hahhaha..*cheeky smile*


good news =D (happened recently)

mum : eh you never ask yanyan wanna go hk anot meh?
effie :yea, of cos she wants to go la!
mum : then ask her ask her mum go la, since she hadn't been there since 1992 right?
effie(getting over-excited): yeah loh! yeah! i'll ask her. but she's having exams now la.
mum : then ask her after her exams la, maybe we can go together since aunty connie likes to go holiday.
effie : yeah! yeah loh! okay! good!


HEARD THAT LESLEE? Please ask your mum asap! if she agrees, we can go together! aaahhhh!!!!!!



we walked around city hall area and settled at rocky masters for tea. haven't had cake for so long! the chocolate caramel cake is so darn yummy! must try! the company called us back and told us to go for the interview on monday. i dread going back there. so far! argh. hope it can fetch me some good moolah!

well well. that's a good start to my saving plan.

no zouk for me tonight again. a lil lazy and actually, the EM project i'm working on seems to be worrying the shite out of me. i can't really seem to attempt them. guess i need help after all.

and i still need a TAN!i'm getting so white! argh! help!




and shite i'm suffering from imhk(i-miss-hk) syndrome again.

momo

i saw the dazzling array of fireworks from my room once again tonight.
okay maybe the beginning part was dazzling until the ending part where supposedly the more extravagant fireworks were blocked out by black smoke. grrr. hate it whenever that happens. always.

i desperately need a new camera after i noticed that out of over 40 shots, only about 20 shots can make it. shux. 2 mega-pix digi camera is too old skool. but what do you expect out of a poor lousily-paid-pocket-money secondary skool gurl? but with the loads of other things on the list, i think this has to be pushed back.

let's see da list,
  1. ipod or mini- though my discman works, i hate having to burn cds and due to my laziness, get stucked listing to the same cd everyday.
  2. motorazor v3- my nokia still fails me,shutting down every now and then without my consent.
  3. jil stuarts-my guccis are irritating the shite out of me,sliding down most of the time. and it makes me look like a book-addicted geek-cos it's always resting lower than it should be. though i'm not really complaining about that part.
  4. DKNY watch- been wanting to get it months ago,but till now, still can't afford it.
  5. more money to go HK this dec!-cos i suggest i'll be totally broke after the shanghai trip.

phew! that's a lot of stuff! not forgetting my digi cam as well! now how am gonna fulfil my wishlist? hmmm.

met erin for dinner last night for han's at park mall. it was my first time having something from the a-la-carte menu other than the usual set dinner. thought of saving some cash but ended up spending even more instead.

the thought of heading to Home excites me. a new place wit good music, not forgetting, a different genre to float to. wanted to go only Home and not other clubs but ended up in Club Momo.

worst still, last night was rather unlucky. took a bus from PS to boat quay,only to find out the bus already past our stop. so we got down and took a cab to boat quay. wasted time there and walked to club Momo in the end. btw we arrived at da club, we were soaked wit perspiration. totally unglamarous. not that i was before.

Met up wit unkle Stan and his other 2 friends there. the club is quite packed and in terms of space, better than Phuture -at least you can still dance within your comfort zone. but it's pretty much like Black, with rotating slots of House, Deep Trance and R&B.

the first step into Momo made us disgusted. while queuing, we heard R&B but once we stepped in, it became House. shite. thing it really wasn't my day. sway. thank god R&B came on after 1 hr plus worth of house and other trash. phew.

our friends left, leaving me and unkle Stan hopping to R&B. unkle got tired rather quickly, but thanks for entertaining me!

it intrigues me whenever i see 2 sexy-or trying to be saucy and sexy- gurls grinding at each other, cos' you'll see flocks of pervs glued to em. the game of wolves and lil red riding hoods.

but i guess Momo has more thirsty wolves than other clubs i've seen.

a couple-2 gurls- were dirty dancing and this mat immediately tried to strike up a conversation with em. obviously they weren't really interested as they went up the platform shortly after. poor mat.

then another group of army guys were oogling at em from the very beginning. one even wanted to try his luck up the platform. then when the 2 gurls left the platform, you can guess what the guys did. they sticked like gum and followed em into the crowd. oh men, please get a grip of yourselves!

but with people like em, i get entertained, which is a good thing as well. =p

due to the 7th month, i didn't wanna go home before dawn, so we talked over drinks from 7-11 till around 6 am before taking the bus home. not bad, overall i spent less than i expected. yey! and i actually took the bus home! what an achievement. hahaha.

'happy' national day

celebrated bern's birthday over the weekend at ichiban boshi and caught charlie and the chocolate factory. marvelous! johnny depp neva fails to be eccentric in his role. watching the movie reminds me of edward scissor hands. =) i love chocolate and i would love to live in a chocolate factory. not just any, but charlie's chocolate factory. the ultimate wonderland!=D


it was national day last tuesday. hmm not that i really anticipate it. thank god it's over now. no more stupid road closures. no more busy traffic jams. GREAT.

talking about national day reminds me of the stupid ache that came unexpectedly. while others were excited counting down to the beautiful showcase in the black sky, poor effie was suffering.
only those who were there knew what happened. tsk tsk.




i haven't been clubbing for weeks! 2 months maybe? i really need to visit zouk soon before it closes down for renovation this coming september.
hate it when plans change in the last minute. grrr. there's this urge to go, but at the same time my ass seems to stick to the not-so-comfortable study chair.
i need someone too travel with me i guess. dressing up and leaving for town alone is such a chore for me. or perhaps that's my call for a license?

and eugene, no last minute call up to onyx okay! i hafta complete my stuff for skool. maybe zouk next week? haha. next week would be the last chance for me to go before exams kick in soon. it's so near. deadlines for the EM, SPSS and integration presentation are near too! shux.


i haven't had enough rest(play-time)! i seem to be in the bum-around mode lately.
time to wake up effie.


and i still need a job! (which i think can't be fulfilled due to exams) shanghai trip is ticking near. i need CASH! maybe i should work as a roadshow promoter.
herman, you should introduce me some! haha.

and no last minute call ups please. thank you.

i'm glad i haven't been wasting much time on the net lately. that's some achievement.
please applause for effie.

now all i hafta do is to spend my time wisely. oh yeah, and speed up.
no more 'slow hands' effie.
