possessed by fatigue

okay this week wasn't as tiring as last's. can't think of a freaking title for this post and since i just caught exocism of emily rose, then yeah, there you have it. possessed by not demons/devils but fatigue.


had lunch wit ma folks(which i hadn't for sucha long time) before meeting kai for the show. not bad, but not enough scenes of how emily rose actually passed her days, possessed. haven't caught The Exocist but i'm sure this one ain't as scary as that one.

had shanghainese tim sum for dinner at 'fei cui crystal jade'. not bad!economical(for restaurant dining since i'm kinda broke) yet good food. but can't say the same for the service though. the aunties there seem to be rather hostile towards us(we're customers mind you!).


and happy effie just got her pair of flats. heeee. finally, after the 1 year(i think so) wait. been eyeing it for some time but it was too pricey. now i got it for half the price!tee hee heee! world of sports was having a 50% sale today and i just happened to walk past. phew!


well my weekend's over, just like that. a lil too fast eh? enjoying and working really has a huge difference between 'em.=(

i spent my day rotting at home till i left home at 7. we were supposed to head to makino yesterday but ended up at arab st. smoking sheesha. it was my virgin smoke. but actually it doesn't have any effects on me, felt more like sucking in strawberry tea.


but the company was good. meeting up wit bern, malv and wei after not seeing em for a long, long time. and of cos' unkle who got cheated to join us. lol. sorry again unkle!


only recently did i know that the jackson tan from Phunkstudio is actually my cousin jackson tan. effie can really be such a blurist at times. lol. shite, i'm not supposed to admit it.

received some mailer from Asylum and read the mailer on 20/20 wit the name of the designer. then, it dawned on me: jackson tan?sounds familiar, sounds like my cousin jackson? and it all came clear.lol.


i think i should have him sprinkle some talent glitter on me and turn me into someone as talented as him. he is great indeed, someone who's enjoying world reknown status yet still a humble pie. you should really meet him to know how humble he really is.
and leslee, remember my cousin we saw at NLB? the long hair and tall guy? yeah, that's jackson tan. and someone wants to marry him. lol.
up for grabs?


well, that's a real success story of how hard work and determination can really get you somewhere.
learnt it yet? maybe you should start on it now?


it's 28th today, so Happy 27th Birthday sis!! omg you really age damn fast! LOL. =X
hope she won't be reading this. hahaa.


p.s more pictures to be uploaded soon.

ad asia was boring. yawn. maybe cos' we were volunteers. volunteer what, you might ask. to open and close doors. wtf right. haha. but edmund was doing most of the job. CHARMaine and i were basically walking here and there, in and out, clicking-we were too bored and sleepy, gossipping and of cos' doing part of our duty as well.

basically only 2 of us silly ones from tb14 came for this and nearly the whole class of edmund's came. it had me waking up in the wee hours of the morning(okay not that wee,6ish am,but too me,considered wee hours.) and rushing down to be there by 8am. YAWN. haven't waken up as early as 6 for a damn long time. trust me,waking up to a non-typical spore weather(i think 21 degrees celcius) was like swimming in the morning waters.
freaking cold!!! i nearly got myself dressed in winter clothes. and of cos,being effie, i had to drag herself out of bed.=(


the Charmer had to go off at 4 for facial(grrr) leaving me and edmund to do our duty-which includes sneaking some color-print books which features award-winning ads, Herworld mag and other freebies home. keke.


at least we did peek in once a while to listen to some speaker from well-reknown companies. and sony is indeed creative wit their interesting ads wit franz ferdinand's lucky as the sound for their sony ads. now how kewl is that? s'pore should indeed learn more from Japs.


i still wanna catch exocism of emily rose!! the time slots were full at 3 locations yesterday!
just my luck! grrr.
pray it doesn't end it's run soon.
and harry potter was good! but i prefer the earlier editions. they seem more..magical. left me in awe, but not this one.sadly.

and bud, your sense of direction really sucks! wonder if you're a girl. LOL.
worship me,your road directory! keke. please don't kill me for saying this.=p
how to go supper like that?!!haha.


finally i got this weekend off. need a lil rest,simply too tired. and deadlines for assignments are just next week! shux.

at least i'm gonna party later at makino. i think i need one real badly. =)
enjoy your saturday nights people!

Ad Asia 05

hello! finally i'm back after a one week hiatus. miss me?! as if. yayayaayaya.

it had been a busy week, juggling between work and skool AGAIN. sigh.
the weekend had been a crazee one at Heeren and Taka's roadshow. In fact, the fatigue nearly killed my legs. The crowd was crazee wit long long queues and hot hot heat in the tentage. but giving out helium-inflated ballons are fun though. keke.=) and the bonus?we actually worked wit our own collegues from the same agencies, 7 of us including ma darling, kim.

the bad part?we got farked up by our supervisor-or whateva he is,cos i ain't sure either. LOL.
he lectured us after the roadshow just cos' he suppose that we didn't hit 150 sets. 150 we're talking about. wtf? although we had free ipod and ipod nano giveaways, the customers didn't really believe it, thinking it's some kind of gimmick. sigh. STUPID people, it's ipod we're talking about man!!! and not 1 or 2 of em' but many!up to 300 gifts to giveaway!
gah. dumb asses.



finally we've settled wit a final grouping after about 4 changes. everyone settled, satisfied wit their own groups, yesterday. phew. indecisive people who's a complete waste of time.
now i'm wit char,collin,jia xiu and huiqi. though i still ain't sure why she's in our group after she 'thinks' that she can't work well wit char,shihui and me?!wierd up their heads?


anyways let's see how i spend my weekdays last week. Met up wit leslee and zuhairah at the library and raffles city.

Met up wit Bel last thursday, to hunt for her cousin's birthday pressie, sorry i couldn't join ya at double O! thanks babe, for the IB notes! and happy working! cya on 8th Dec! keke.


went for the stupid meeting-again-on friday at my agency's after meeting kai and his friend. The slow coach was late by 2 hours that day! i was bored to death at the skool-kids-infested-bugis and nearly headed home while waiting. grrrr.
herman, big black and wing can't beat him at being late, i tell you! haha.
together wit his friend, we went to haji lane. i <3 the place! it is a really great place to chill wit a few friends. So peaceful and quiet.=)

after walking around for some fifteen minutes, we finally found CDG and white room. sadly, white room was having some exhibit and they were moving stuff so we couldn't head upstairs. sigh.


It seems like HK now in S'pore wit cold weather for the past 3 days. totally shiokadelic!!woo hoo!
long sleeves 3 days in a row. i'm still feeling chilled now. bbrrrrr.=) but of cos' it's been raining a lot too which is a hassle, having to bring the brolly.


and bud, your driving skills not bad lah. haha. quite good in fact for a 3 week beginner. i like the car wit the glass roof where the passengers can see the beautiful skies up above. kewl.

remember, confidence is all you need! and i'm so sorry but driving at this age means you're gonna be a chaffeur. hhahahaha. you agreed right? but thanks for offering to drive us yesterday.=)
and if you need to honk someone, or don't dare to the next time, ask me okay?! hahaha.i'll gladly oblige. tsk tsk.
just honk la, don't be ghey man la! lol.


say hello to Ad Asia '05 tomorrow! whhheeee! i think it's gonna be fun and interesting since we're gonna meet so many ad companies all ova the world.
or at least i've got no skool tomorrow cos' of the convention. muahahaha.

Just like Heaven

met up wit Kai last Friday and caught Just Like Heaven. hmmm, pretty good show, but typical love story wit expected storyline and ending.



thank gawd i didn't have to attend the shitty meeting on Friday. which is a total waste of time! my groupmates were kinda pissed and unhappy about the regrouping matter. sigh. hope all turns out well tomorrow when we reach the final decision of whether to re-group or stay wit our respective groupmates. but seriously, we're all in our third year, what for re-group and work wit different members, not knowing their working style and then screw up the projects?


no way is re-grouping for me. i'm not in for that. especially when someone's gonna be in my group after the re-grouping. damn sway la, her register no. is friggin close to ours(char and me),which is totally unfair to us. and noone wants to exchange group wit us cos all of 'em knows she's in our group.=(


shite. help us!
i really hope all goes well for us. pray hard char!



Saturday
thanks to kai for the lunch yesterday! i am so embarassed to tell you that i gotta learn some culinary skills from you! =( still doubting your cooking abilities though. did you buy take away from some kopitiam?LOL. kidding!
i am still surprised that you can cook rather well! lol.


work yesterday was good @Hello. it was fun working wit edmond-who <3 singing alex to's hits.LOL-, the other friendly singtel staff-who i don't know his name.LOL- and the 2 nice and friendly managers. phew! we were evening chatting happily wit each other during work, totally stress-free!geeee.
i wish i'm posted there every weekend. heee hee.


sigh it's 9am lecture again tomorrow.
what a bummer.
i can't skip andy oh's lectures cos apparently, he takes every single attendance by himself. argh. so. no cheating. =(

i sooooo miss waking up to late afternoons. =(


it's gonna be a long day again tomorrow, starting from 9am till 4pm. shite.
i hate my shitty schedule this sem! grrr.

morning skool tomorrow, argh. consecutive 5 days of wake-ups at 7-8am. grrr.

i'm so not a morning person. unless i'm waking up to a morning departure at the airport to some exciting destination, that would be a totally different story. heeeee.

suffocating roadshow

yes finally the roadshow for this month is over!phew! last heard we got 1200+ sign-ups, from the crazee 1500 target we're supposed to hit.

bloody tired after 2 days of roadshow. not forgetting a rather unmotivated roadshow at that. a lot of people in NP has already signed up for vpost, how much more can you possibly get this month?!
to make things worst, we're gonna have 1 roadshow every month at NP. like, wtf?


howeva,it was rather fun gossipping about 'my bro'(shihui and char knows who), that 2 cute friend of vivien's(right char?LOL), bitching about those who refuse to sign up for us(only at the minority) and slacking-which includes eating and drinking bubble tea. oh yeah, and not forgetting teasing Char and teaching her the charming moves she has to pull so as to get the guys to sign up. LOL.

i hope non of my other classmates are reading this. they betta not.
tsk tsk.
thanks to bud and andy for helping with getting more sign-ups! and of cos' the supportive, one or two strangers we approached .keke.


which reminds me, bud, congrats upon achieving your license!really happy for you!
now you're bound to drive me around singapore!(which makes me even more elated.)
heeeeee hee. you betta!
told ya, you gotta have a lil self-confidence! and i'm still wondering why i'm so freaking sure that you passed your driving though you lied to me. you shitehead. haha.


anyways again the roadshow ended wit a bang-or rather a click-, wit our class triggering happy at the end of 2 disastrous days.


sadly now thursdays are packed wit IS, no more ladies night on wednesdays!=(
and no more free thursdays for tanning session. ultra SIGH.


and mum says she's gonna book the tickets tomorrow, which i still ain't sure if we're gonna have common tests in December. hope not. like Leslee says, "not so 'suay' la!"
well,i certainly hope, lesbian(you declared to me earlier on,remember?)! it'll be the official first trip together-without my irritating and PMS-ing sista-, ain't you excited?!i know you are la, so as to drool at the leng jais there, as well as kidnap 'em back to spore if your momee allows.
tsk tsk.


guys there betta beware of this raging hormones gurl. lol.


well let's pray and hope i'm not having any tests in December.

tomorrow's like the first class i'm attending since last monday. lol. feels a lil wierd, like skool hasn't really started for me.
well well, we gotta get started sooner or later don't we?
i detest tutorials.

get together.

just chilled wit kim and min at mac's after meeting at the agency-as usual.
ahhh, it's been sucha long while since we got together eh? hee..we really should meet up more often together babes! SOON!


was out wit mum and dad for tim sum at marina square during late lunch hour.
esplanade was flooded wit blanglas and philippinos. no idea why though. some carnival for em' i guess.
marina has kinda officially re-opened wit all the north-south-east-west sides queued wit shops. it does seem bigger than the past, no idea why though.


then my parents dropped me off at novena. met rong and went to TTSH together.
apparently poor eric got injured after some sprint downhill. poor guy was trying to avoid running into his buddy infront of him when he couldn't break in time and somersaulted into a curb. Ouch. that really hurts!

his liver suffered from internal bleeding. owh, that really really hurts! no idea what the saf were doing, expecting him to return to the camp right after he's discharged. how can he possibly resume training when he can't even barely walk? poor thing!


hope you're recovering fast dude!

after visiting, we went off to town to get naggy rong's-he nagged at me for the whole afternoon- jay chou CD and had sakae for dinner.
yummy! haven't had sushi for sucha long time! meanies-us- complained and suggested stupid comments on the customer feedback form of the poor attitude of the waiters, leaving the customers' particulars as anonymous, in case we get prank calls from the pissed waiters. hahaha.


and it's early head home before 11pm for us =)
see! effie can be sucha goodie-two-shoes at times. tee hee hee.



btw rong, your 'blur' condition is pronounced deadly. from bad, to worst. don't blame on gym and car practicals, they do not, i repeat, DO NOT, affect your mentality. haha.
i kindly suggest you visit the psychiatrist soon. hahahah.
please don't nag at me if you see this.
