Sometimes I wonder if I have split personalities. Or rather, multiple personalities, even.
With family and friends, I'm a different person. Even within family, I probably appear to act differently to certain members. With friends..whoaa. I don't even wanna think about how many sides of me have been presented thus far.
Thinking about it...I guess I react according to the characters of those around me. So strange huh..or maybe I just have very different groups of friends.
Then again, maybe it's just me.
Had a rude awakening 2 days ago; don't think it's something I'll be forgetting anytime soon.
I shudder to think that it's something which may happen again. And I don't know if the current calm after that storm is here to stay, or just a facade for more nightmares to come.
It's so tiring to live sometimes. So many thousands of problems and headaches, all from different sources. All with varying consequences, and the only similarity being, no solution in sight.
Yeah I probably look all carefree, slacking my days away with no job in sight, but who really knows what goes on in my mind, and what I've had to endure all this while?..
I told a friend not too long ago, to just focus on one problem at a time. Leave the rest arranged in order of priority. Settle for a temporary solution, before moving on to headache over others. It's so easy to say, but so difficult to execute. Truth be told, I don't even know where to begin for myself.
I wonder...was I really as terrible as the picture painted out to me? Did I not merit to anything after all? Then again..this is something I can never find out. Few months too late, a lifetime too early..

Helpppp!!
I need an SOS hotline for my face gone wrong!!
Okay, more like the skin on my face gone wrong. Aiyah, same difference la.
I don't know what did I use that went wrong! But my face now seems to be suffering the after-effects of sunburn.
In other words, the skin is so tight it's wrinkling, and when I smile, I look like I aged 50 years. No kidding. And my face is peeling!!
Hideous to the max! I don't wanna go out already. Siann. =(
My itchy fingers unknowingly tried to scratch my face and in the process, peeling off some parts. Now I really, really look monstrous. Arghhh.
Apologies for the gross description.
Shucks la I really have no idea what caused it! Maybe it's the new cleanser. Or the self-made toner. Either way, I'm staying off them all till my face recovers.
Pretty please recover soon!! I have dates and appointments lined up! I don't wanna go out looking like a freak. Even if I don't, I don't relish the idea of staying home looking like a freak either. Puiii.
Damn sad la. ='(
Maybe I'll just pretend I'm sunburnt. Bleahh.

I am officially a few hundred bucks poorer after registering for jap classes.
*sobs*
It didn't help to find out that I'll probably have to shell out more hundreds just to complete the elementary level.
Why on earth are there, like, 3 levels within the elementary level, 4 within the intermediate, and 2 under advanced?! That makes nine levels I have to complete!
Doesn't make much sense to me actually. I really thought it was all of 3 levels and I'll become a jap language pro. Haha.
Need to find a part time job to pay off my course fees! Pretty excited about classes though. Wheee. Thank goodness class starts after I get back from cambodia!
Speaking of which, I'm probably going to end up looking like charcoal during my convocation. Bleahh. Seeing as how it's on the 22nd..I think I have all of 4 days or so to try and lighten my complexion by....2 skin tones? Hmm..
Am enjoying driving lately! It's a nice feeling to have the freedom of travelling around and not being restricted to just public transport. Although the red plate does restrict the timings I can drive..but I'm not complaining!
Ohh, I just read an article online about how yao ming was criticised for being too "stingy" in his china quake donation, and they compared it deng xiao ping's widow donating her life savings (which incidentally, was lesser than the amount yao ming donated initially). Needless to say, such publicity kind of gave him no choice but to up his donation.
I'm not taking sides here, but I think it's kind of ridiculous to compare donations in this way. I mean, they're called donation for a reason, right? Shouldn't it be entirely voluntary and the amount decided by the charitable individual?
Just because he's china's richest celebrity and known for charity work, doesn't mean he has to out-donate every other person. Imagine if someone who earns less than yao donated his life savings and every single asset and cent to the quake victims, in all totalling about yao's yearly salary, does that mean the latter has to literally contribute all his salary to the cause?
Looks like donations have come to be measured relatively, rather than absolutely.
Gone are the days when you're thanked for simply being kind enough to donate; now, if you're just a wee bit famous or linked to someone famous, every cent you give out is under close scrutiny. Imagine if you're yao ming but you don't donate. God forbid.
While it never hurts to donate more if you can afford to, I really think it's up to the discretion of the individual la. No one has to right to say anything, much less criticise, really. If yao wasn't the famous celebrity he is, I seriously doubt he'd hit headlines for donating a mere 500,000 yuan. -_-
Still, it's really heartwarming to know that people are all chipping in to help those in need..no matter the amount, it's the thought and sincerity that counts ultimately.
Hope the victims of the quake will have their lives return to normal soon..am still praying for more miracle survivors to emerge from the debris somehow.
I wonder if natural disasters are really nature's way of balancing the earth and its population..

Yesterday was a blasttt!
Met shan for some shopping and a yummy dinner at MOF before meeting the rest for chillout session at clarke quay. We practically shot a food diary of the dishes we ordered!
Lazy to upload pictures here; I just spent the longest time uploading the shots from yesterday and tioman on facebook! If you wanna see, go to my facebook and view okays. Too many many!
Chillout last night was damn fun! But we walked 3 rounds around clarke quay before settling for MOS. Omgoshh. Tiredd even before the night started. And lost goodness-knows how many calories before the alcohol piled them on again. Hahaha.
We were kind of early though, so the club was pretty empty. Chilled at pure first, where we went nuts cam-whoring! And the waiters there are super entertaining I swear. Or maybe we were just too hilarious with our antics, I don't know. Lol.
To cut a long story short, it was a night of wild dancing, crazy laughter, mad antics and absolute funnn washed down with alcohol, and we ended the night with tequila shots! Thanks to the waiter, whom we asked to surprise us with any drinks. Haha. On hindsight, we should have started the night with shots, instead of the reverse. =p
Partied well into the a.m. before calling it a night! We were damn highh, especially dear jiabao, but no less sober than when we first stepped in. Haha. Next time we shd pull an all-nighter clubbing, then round off with breakfast!
Next girls' night out sooooon okays! After bern comes back from the us! =)))
Uber tiredd now cos' I had to go out this morning with less than 5 hours of sleep..didn't want to wake up but no choice. Haha. I'm pretty amazed that I even managed to drive while stoned. I don't think I should try that again though. =p
Can't nap cos' the weather's just crazily hott! I foresee that I'm gonna K.O pretty early tonight.
All pics will be up on facebook once I get those in jb's camera! For now..it's back to stoning. And maybe a little napping!
That was a great way to end the week. Loves!! =)

Did some serious shopping today! Haven't shopped sooo muchh in ages!
Wisma's isetan was so quiet and empty, I almost thought I got the day of the private sale wrong.
I guess it's always this quiet at that outlet! But damn good for shopping. Most things on 30% discount for cardholders! Happiness to the max la. Bern, shan and I happily shopped around and went in and out of fitting rooms enough times to rival someone having a tummyache and going to the loo.
Okay, I think that analogy there's a little off. But at 12.45am in the morning, my brain isn't really functioning as well as it used to. Haha.
We all picked up stuffs from hypnosis! Starting to be one of my favourite outlets with fairly affordable clothes. Especially during sale time haha. I feel damn auntie la. Chionging for sales. Then again, so do tai-tais! You should see just how many of them throng the isetan and shaw house during private sales. Madness to the max!
Sadly though, didn't buy anything else after that. Haha. Despite going to a few more places around orchard..poor shan had to go for tuition, or she could have seen for herself the true sale-digging crowd at shaw's isetan. Still, not as bad as the experience I had last year. This year's considered tame!
Last day for registering for the campus recruitment in june, and I rushed back to do it. Amazingly though (and probably not a very good sign at all), I only found one company I was interested in, out of the many listed. And so, I only signed up for an interview with that one company. Oops.
Yes yes I know, beggars can't be choosers, I'm already a graduate, I need to find a job asap, yada yada.
I know it all!!
But I don't want to work in a company I have zero interest in. Shucks. Machiam I can slowly take my time to find a job. And eat air in the meantime. >_<
Okay okay I'm going to be far more earnest in job-hunting. Really!
I still feel abit direction-less though. Siann. Feel like finding an interesting part time job for awhile. Working in a florist sounds like fun to meee. And I love flowers! It'd be great to learn the art of flower arrangement and wrapping, while being paid. Haha. Though my mum just can't get past the idea of a graduate working in such a job. What's wrong la. Just a part-time whatt.
Anyhows! Meeting my ij darlings tomorrow for ij fiesta! I don't think I've gone back since the old school compound got torn down and replaced with the current one. I wanna see the chapel!
Reminiscing about younger days with bern over dinner was certainly nostalgic. I miss my childhood so muchh! Being a kid was definitely far less stressful, filled with hardly-pressing problems, and contained more laughter and happiness. Innocence.
I need to find back that old faith to believe..and a direction to follow through to my ultimate goal. It's been submerged the past few months, but I guess it's slowly resurfacing.
Still not sleeping early although I have no excuses to be up late. Lack of a proper bed isn't a very big problem, but I do miss the nights when I had a comfy bed to dream in and sleep uninterrupted through the night.
Don't know why, but the not-so-good habit of long ago is starting to resurface once more. Especially last week or so..damn disturbing. I haven't had this problem for the longest time..wonder why it's coming back just now..at least last night's sleep wasn't toooo bad.
I realise that I'm pretty much typing the way my mind's working at the moment. Think what, type what. Hence the gibberish and no-link topics. Oops.
Okays it's probably bedtime..weekend's coming! I'm totally counting down the days till buddy comes backk on saturdayy. Tons to update!! I only wish you were still going to cambodia tooo..sighh.

Lost my internet connection since last night, so haven't been able to blog though I so badly wanted to.
I passed my driving test yesterday!!! =DDD
Uber happy! Hahaha. Now I can proudly proclaim that I've completed my record of passing both theory tests and practical test on the 1st try each time! And who says that private candidates have a lower chance of passing. Haha. =)
I think I was pretty lucky really..this is why!
2 points shy of failing...goshh. Haha. That, and the fact that the tester was pretty nice actually, although he seemed so critical and fierce at some points.
Coincidentally, two other students under my instructor who had their test before me yesterday, also got the same test route and tester! And we all passed! Happiness!! =)
I was a bundle of nerves and a total wreck the week leading up to yesterday..I think my previous blog entries sufficiently portrayed that. Lol. Thanks to concerned friends who texted me, wondering if I made it after all. Haha.
But I guess I have to thank my instructor the mostt..if not for what he told me the day before my test, I probably wouldn't have passed. It really helps to stop being so fixated on passing, and just concentrate on driving well and exhibiting road safety. Once I got over my constant worry of failing, it got muchh easier to handle the mental part of the practical test.
And I was so amazingly calm during the test itself, I still can't believe it! I seldom came close to the same degree of steadiness even during lessons. Haha.
While it's nice to finally pass and be a licensed driver, a part of me already misses having lessons and having my trusty and entertaining instructor sitting beside me in a car. And I'm totally unused to driving an auto car!
Had my maiden drive to east coast last night while guided by ling jie jie, and while it wasn't ultra nerve-wrecking, it certainly caused me some tension. And probably her as well. Haha. So different! And I kept forgetting my car doesn't have a clutch. >_<
I think I'd much rather drive a manual car, really.
Ohwells! Time to start getting used to driving so I can do that on my own soon..next up, hitting the highway! I need to psycho myself abit I think. I can even get horned at during lessons on normal roads. Just imagine on the highway. Omgoshh.
Anyways! Just finished reading dan brown's Angels and Demons; I think it's a pretty good book! I'm super intrigued by all the facts written in his books..I enjoyed The Da Vinci Code too!
And coincidentally, I read an online article which I saw headlined on the yahoo homepage.
Vatican scientist says belief in God and aliens is OK.
Super in context with the book I just completed! I find it so amazing..the controversial debate between creationsim and evolution, between science and religion. I wonder if these issues will ever have a clear-cut answer to them..but I guess not. And art history is so full of interesting details too!
I'm starting to see an opening to a potential new kind of interest.
Just added the Vatican City to the list of countries I wanna travel to! =)
On a sidenote, was lunching at a hawker centre with mummy this afternoon when I overheard a conversation between 2 women hailing from china. Note: I didn't eavesdrop, cos' they spoke so loudly. Or rather, she. It was pretty much a one-sided conversation.
The chatty lady was manning one of those pushcart stalls selling mahjong sets and gambling-related merchandise. Then she went over to the table behind mine and started conversing with another compatriot.
Their conversation, or rather, her ultra-long and whiny "speech", went something along the lines of this:
"I don't understand why I'm working here for other people in singapore! They keep asking me to go back there, but blah blah....(something about husband not wanting to return back to their happy homeland)..and it's crazy having to work here! I could potentially be my own boss! I shouldn't be having to endure a life here working for others! blah blah...so free that I can just sit there and trim my nails..blah blah...what a hard life...can be a boss back home..wasting my time..blah blah...singapore is a terrible place to stay in...blah blah..."
Of course, she said all of that in chinese. Not exactly the way I've translated, but the main idea is there. And it continued this way, pretty much well after we finished lunch and left I think.
While I have no issues or objections about pple airing their views and opinions, albeit a little tooo loudly in public, I just didn't like the way she kept talking about how she's basically wasting her life and youth here working as an employee when she can actually lead a muchh better life back home.
Then why not just go home? The funniest thing is, I don't think she has a very difficult job in the first place.
If you ignore the fact that the "shop" she was tending to pretty much didn't have customers (and probably seldom has customers too, seeing how she's hardly stationed there), and also the fact that she's so free she can just sit there and trim/beautify her nails, how difficult can working be for her?
If you have time to gossip and whine all day and boss your friend to tend to her food stall, I don't really think you have the right to complain so loudly in public. Especially about a country you happen to be living in, working in, but are not a citizen of.
Maybe I don't have enough info about her, how her life here is like, how life could otherwise be like for her, but I think I heard enough to deduce her unhappiness about staying in singapore. Seriously la, just get a life and air your grouses within the four walls of your own home. If I were her fellow countrymen, and I heard such things spoken so loudly in public in a country not my home, I'd be so ashamed of her behaviour.
That said, I have nothing against anyone from her homeland. Really. In fact, I know some pretty nice pple from there.
Just airing my view I guess. Haha. Ohwells, it's a free country after all.
And it's bedtime! Scared I can't wake up early tmr. Shopping with bern and shan! Wheeee!
My handphone is going abit bonkers I think. Just sidetracking here. Haha.
Nites world!

Driving today was a disaster of the hugest proportions. Sighh.
I have no idea what's wrong with me today..every single silly mistake which a new learner driver might make, I committed them all.
That hour-long lesson has never felt longer.
I think my instructor doesn't know what to do with me either. I guess he was pretty shocked at my atrocious driving and total lack of skills earlier..completely unlike someone about to sit for her test in 3 days' time.
I really, really don't wanna retake...arghh.
Maybe I'm too tiredd..I don't know. Couldn't seem to concentrate on the road or remember whatever that has been constantly drilled into my head the past few months.
Perhaps I should take a nap. Still gotta go for my sister's concert tonight..bet I'll see many familiar faces. Not really something I'm looking forward to, honestly. Not in the mood to act happy.
On a slightly happier note, I got my naruto fix last night..2 episodes plus the manga chapter! Yayy. I just wish the manga chapter has more pages..like nodame cantabile, for instance. One scene can span like a million chapters la. Damn tedious being kept in suspense. Bleahh.
Suddenly feel like there's nothing much to look forward to. I have so manyyy things I wanna tell my buddy, but he's not in town. =( Maybe I'm too reliant on him. Shucks. Anyhows, can't wait for him to be backk.
Time to start living for myself.

Am quite frustrated at not having a printer on hand. Arghhhh. And there's no more FAL or ADM library within walking distance for me to go print my stuffs from. =(
Meeting 29ners for lunch laters! Yayy! Haven't seen them for such a long while...save for peishan la. Haha.
Joan hurry up come back!! =D
Anyhows, had my first circuit lesson yesterday..when my test is next tuesday. Goshh la. Everyone's jaw was hanging when I told them. Haha.
Made some mistakes there, much to the chagrin of my dear instructor. I think he's convinced that it'll take a miracle for me to pass. =\
I am superrr kanchiong spidey about my test cos' I just feel damn unprepared! Despite having so many many lessons already. Sighh.
I want to pass!!!! *prays hard*
Didn't drive for quite awhile before yesterday's lesson, so I was quite blur block and kanchiong on the roads. When leaving the circuit, I happily drove out so fast my instructor didn't get a chance to take back his pass from the guard. (who asked him to talk on the phone! How was I to know I gotta stop right. Hmphh)
Ended up driving one big round back to the entrance of BBDC, where he made me stop the car by the side and asked me to go out and take back his pass! He's always bullying me, seriously.
And so began a "duck talking to chicken" session with the guard, cos' I didn't know what pass he was talking about, and the guard thought I wanted my PDL. Dots!!
Finally got things cleared up, and I happily chiong-ed back to the car, where I realised that there was a long line of learner cars behind mine, all waiting for me to drive off so that they could turn into BBDC. Imagine my embarrassement la.
And what did I go on to do next, you may ask?
Drive off without buckling my seatbelt. *faints
My ever-helpful instructor pointed this out to me as we were driving along a road at 70km/h. I spent the next 5 seconds wondering how the hell I could have forgotten to belt up. And decided that it's his fault after all. Haha.
And so, instead of making me stop by the side of the road to belt up, he held the freaking steering wheel and asked me to belt up. While travelling at 70km/h?! Wahlau I almost fainted.
You must understand that to a learner driver, that's like madness to the max la!
And thus yesterday's driving was super eventful. Not helped by his constant convictions that my engine would stall while parking on a slope. Bleahh. See how much confidence my instructor has in me. Haha. But he's a nice guy la. And super good too! Just that he pretty much lets you learn by discovering mistakes on your own. And he scolds!! Anyone needs a private instructor at BBDC, come ask me for his contact!
Can't believe I'm doing free advertising for him.
I still want a printer!! I desperately need to print my sheetmusic! Irritating to the max.
And I miss my number oneeee! Quick come back lehh..I miss whining to you hahaha. And I want present okay! =D

Decided that it was time for a change..after keeping to that old blog add for so longg. Thought of simply changing the template and keeping all my archives, but..maybe it's time for a new start.
Whatever memories held in that old blog, happy or sad, I'll keep them as they are. And simply start a new chapter in my life with this blog. =)
I like the template! And I love the song. =)
