Preparations
12th July.
That will be the day I'm leaving this little red dot to a land of cuddly wombats.
Less than 2 weeks left. I'm gonna miss everyone.
Argh.. I've only jux started on my packing...


Tonic-fied
Mummy dearest has been feedin me these tonics everyday. I'm so overnourished.
I start my day with a bottle (the size of chicken essence) of Gineng, Cordyceps extract. Believe me, it taste absolutely HORRID (I can't stand the taste of chinese medicine/ tonic since young, my mum always say thats the reason why I haf small/ near-to-non-existence boobs due to my refusal to consume those disgusting stuff down my throat).
I'm having herbal jelly bout 3 times a week, twice-a-week bird nest (my fave!) and occasional hashima and chicken essence. 
I'm feelin like a pampered baby!


11 more days to departure
So many things to do, so little time.
Frens to meet up, places to go.
Theres like a whole list of food I MUX eat. 
The Hill, Four Seasons sunday bunch, Olive Ristorante (I puke my dinner out the last time Vin brought me there, gonna treat him back!), L'moizone, Rochor beancurb, Parklane Chicken Rice, Chong Pang Nasi Lemak, Flappers, Teahouse, Padi Fields, Cheesecake Cafe, Ikea meatballs and wings, Chocolate hightea, Sushi Tei's salmon skin, tako, lobster sashimi, temaki and Crystal Jade's Xiaolongbao! 
So peepx, you should know where we're eating when we meet before I leave.


Blessed
All the calls and msgs pouring in to meet me up before my departure.
Truly, I felt touched.
Sorry to some whom I can't meet up with, my schedule's really packed.
Year end, promised?
Had one of those farewell dinners this evening, the babes were realli sweet. A cake, pressie, a card, a silly farewell song and lotsa goofing. 8 years of friendship. I was always the most reserved one in the group. Could still remember the whole bunch of them surprised me with a birthdae cake completed with some 'dry ice smoky' effect on an insignificant day in September 8 years ago (my birthdae is on April). Ask them what the cake is for and they replied "Oh, we didn't get to know u in April mah. So we're havin a very belated celebration today!". 
One of my close friends has been naggin me the whole night to be careful in a foreign land, take care of myself, not to get bullied blah blah blah.. Those stuff a mum tells a child.
Other friends have been constantly askin me whether am I excited. They'll continue blabberin how excited they are for me. The actual fact
is that I'm feelin a tad more of apprehensiveness than anything else.


Moving on
Gonna shift to another blogsite.
Maybe blogspot or something else...
I want a provider which gives similar protected post options like livejournal but with more wed design flexibility.
Any suggestions?

She's settling for Uni of Queensland. Startin skool in July.

She's been bummin around for the past week and lovin it.

She's hooked on Bleach.

She earned a comfortable amt from shares previously.

She's buying double this time round and the prices are soaring!

She can't stand guys who are so full of themselves.

She wants a guy jux like him.

She's been cranky.

She's been rather short-tempered.

She's been superficial.

She's been a bitch lately.

I think she's me.

-In a nutshell-

The Bangkok trip was fun, cept for the part that my hotel caught fire 2 hours before I was supposed to check out. (Details next time)

I've tendered my resignation. Leaving on e last day of the month. Reckoned my manager must be secretly cursing at me. She gave me an early confirmation and stuff and this is how I repay her.  

Waiting for e reply from another Uni before comfirmin where am I headin. *prays hard*

I've been a very nice daughter. Bought my mum an Osim ISqueez for mother's day. And I actualli save 120 bucks by trading in a foot massager worth only 20 bucks.

Its been more than a month since my bdae. Received 2 belated presents today from 2 totally unrelated people. Both are diamonds necklace from SooKee Jewellery. Are they having promotion or something? Anyway the thing is both are bout the same design, only the size of the diamonds differ. Haix, the problem is I dun like fanciful designs, I jux love solitaire diamonds. And to my horror, I discovered that these 2 necklace looks similar with another (fake) necklace I got from last year's Christmas swap! ARGH!!!! 3 identical necklaces!!  How am I supposed to ask them to pass me the receipts to do a trade in? I dun haf the cheek to ask....

I made a grave mistake at work.
Been feelin very down for the past few days.
Mostly its jux augish and disappointment in myself.
Why am I so farkin careless?
It like, when things are goin well wif my early confirmation and stuff I got myself into such shit.

Thats my life I guess. Full of funny twists and turns.
Within 24 hrs of my stupid mistake, I received an acceptance letter from another uni.

Anyway, I'm clearin my leave so for this whole week there ain't work for me.
Will be goin to Bangkok tmr. Hopefully I'll be back in good spirits.

A long break
Haven been around for quite awhile? (2 months?)
Anyway what matters most is, I'm back!
Lets see if I can get this Xanga thingy started again.


In a nutshell
Firstly, I've deferred my studies (again) on an unconditional time period.
I reckoned that maybe I'm a tad too selfish to leave my mum alone at this period in time.
Looking on the bright side, Uni of Ottawa offered me a 4 year fast forward honours for next year's autumn intake.
So if I've finally make up my mind to further my studies I know at least theres somewhere for me to go to.


Pebbles the Employee
Bascially I've gotten use to the work culture @ the bank.
They are so sales-driven, every week or 2 a quarrel is bound to break out.
Accusation, name-calling behind the back, crying, crying pregnant women. 
My role in it is only a spectator, and I'm very contented wif it.
Occasionally gets bullied, forgets bout it, and starts anew.
Good thing that another newcomer came one month after me, another movie goer to watch the saga.
But I have to admit, I've learned alot of stuff for the past months.
Bout the banking industry, investments etc. Definitely an eye-opener.
Besides, I'm getting the pay of a fresh uni graduate (or higher) so I guess I'll stay on this job for a little while longer.


It runs in the family
My folks used to be very serious speculators in the share market.
Then, my brother joined the wagon too.
As of last week, it was my turn.
My first stock: an America MNC that offers upscale furniture and leather in the states.
My mum had the impression I was only toying for 1 or 2 lots.
She was taken aback when I said I'm placing 5 lots.
Guess I'm abit of a risk taker.


The Forgotten 
Jus caught the movie few hours ago.
And I thought it was supposed to be a psychological thriller.
Boy was I wrong.
It was still enjoyable though cept for the ending.
Julianne Moore is still looking as pretty as before.
All I can say is to watch it with a open mind and treat it like some X-files episode.


Breakaway
by Kelly Clarkson
Grew up in a small town
And when the rain would fall down
I just stared out my window
Dreaming of a could-be
And if I'd end up happy
I would pray (I would pray)

Trying not to reach out
But when I'd try to speak out
Felt like no one could hear me
Wanted to belong here
But something felt so wrong here
So I pray (I would pray)
I could breakaway

I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes til' I touch the sky
I'll make a wish
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget all the ones that I loved
I'll take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway

Wanna feel the warm breeze
Sleep under a palm tree
Feel the rush of the ocean
Get onboard a fast train
Travel on a jet plane, far away (I will)
And breakaway

Buildings with a hundred floors
Swinging around wild indoors
Maybe I don't know where they'll take me but
Gotta keep moving on, moving on
Fly away, breakaway

I'll spread my wings
And I'll learn how to fly
Though it's not easy to tell you goodbye
I gotta take a risk
Take chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget the place I come from
I gotta take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway, breakaway, breakaway
