i've been uberrrr busy with school the past 2 weeks, but this has got to be the module im enjoying most so far! im currently doing MICE, which stands for Meetings, Incentives, Conventions and Exhibitions. basically, it's all about events management!it's been a very hands-on module and i've learnt so much about singapore!
if you've been labeling Singapore as "boring", that only goes to show you know far less about singapore than you think you do. haha!
how else could singapore have achieved #2 as The World's Best MICE destination?
i visited the Pan-Pacific last week and i'll be heading down to The Jewel Box tmr morning! *squeals in delight*
everytime i take the bus in the mornings with the kiasu aunties, i find myself subjected to merciless shoves and relentless squeezing. seriously, everyone WILL get on the bus and it doesnt KILL if you have to stand throughout a 30mins bus ride you know.
i mean, if you are able to push your way through a crowded bus, im pretty sure you have the strength to stand on a moving bus! terrible *grumbles*
my birthday is coming! *squeals in delight again*

random photos from my BKK trip!
this is my funky cousin who joined us in thailand. she brought us around and helped made sure i went to the places i wrote down on my "To-Shop-At" list! haha!
old school glass bottles for soft drinks! cute right!
something wormie wong will love - hot pink taxi! hehhe the cabs there are really colourful - hot pink, yellow, orange, cobalt blue, white etc! it's a pretty sight when the roads are busy, esp. with my favourite TUT-TUTs! (which sadly, i forgot to take a proper picture of..) but the air is really dusty along the roads, probably because most of the cars use diesel? and the traffic jams were a boo-boo. red lights take approximately 10mins to turn green! omg however, you dont hear much of rude horns despite the crazy traffic, they simply slow down and give way! *thumbs-up* ooo and i didnt even see proper road dividers!
heart-shaped mushroom in thailand!
puppies being sold at chatuchak market.there're a whole lot more cages and stalls selling them, but i didnt dare to take photos cos of the fierce shopkeepers!
their king was born on a Monday, so the Thais would make an effort to wear yellow every monday.so we joined in the fun!
Thais are really devout buddhists. these buddha statues were prominently placed right in front of a huge shopping centre! and it's a common sight to see their people, young or old and even the trendy, wearing a gold chain with a relatively large buddha pendant on their necks.
my mum and i went for the express manicure which took abt 30-40mins!cheap and pretty! =D
my dad let us spike up his hair.we were going for The Cabaret Show!
unfortunately, i got the names of the hotels mixed up and went for the wrong one. the previous one i watched was entertaining and good, this one was lousy. my dad got scared cos the theatre was really small and we were sitting in the first row -- we could see the thick calves and armpit/leg hairs, even when they had breasts...
a birthday celebration in the middle of October! hahhahamy father secretly arranged it and when the gigantic ice-cream thing came, he was smiling so widely like it was really my birthday!
and then my mum bluffed me that birthday people will be invited on stage to dance.. it got me freaked out for half an hour - i kept thinking of ways to escape!
oo and she later bluffed me AGAIN that she'll be going onstage to take part in the beer-drinking competition.. LOL.
now i know why im almost 20 years old but still behave like a big kid most of the time.
it's in the genes!
hehe actually i have a couple more photos, including a baby elephant along the street but its such a hassle to add photos on blogspot.
maybe i'll upload them another time! hehehhe
ohh and i look unglam in the photos because i didnt put ANY makeup on!
i noticed the ladies there dont put much makeup, if any!
they look really simple and natural, and are definitely not stingy with smiles.
although i've only been to the tourists-safe places in bangkok, i thought they deserved the "Land of Thousand Smiles" title.
unlike Singapore, the "Land of Siao-Ah,Smile-At-Me-For-What?"
oh yah! i got mistaken as a thai several times!
which isnt much of a surprise to me lah, because its common to have people doubting my "pure Chinese, Singaporean" identity! lol!
and there was this very sweet female shop assistant who told me,
"you look very beautiful."
see why i love bangkok? LOL!

i try to come up with something meaningful and clever but my mind draws a blank.
no, im not as intelligent or sensitive to be able to post a thought-provoking entry and neither do i have a confident grasp of the English language to be playing with words.
i give up.
you probably wont understand anyway.

there's a danger in loving somebody too much.
baby, sometimes love just ain't enough.

突然觉得好不开心，好无奈。
一个钟头前，我认定了自己已经找到幸福了。
可是不知怎么了，现在却觉得自己好受委屈…
或许这就是爱情吧。
有时甜甜的、有时酸酸的，而有时却是苦苦的…

bangkok in 3 days time! weeeeeeeee
ray has been announcing to his male buddies that he'll be girlfriend-less this weekend, so if anyone catches him on the streets doing things he shouldnt be doing, feel free to sms me and i'll reward you handsomely.
HAHA! just kidding lahhhh.
on another note, such a pity that i'll be missing out on chinying and layhwee's combined birthday celebration.. it was due time for our regular gathering some more. sigh
im sure you girls (and boys, if they're coming) will have a blast!
take lotsa photos and post them on your blogs so i can see and pretend i was there okay!
the november+december period is gonna be really exciting for me this year woohoo!
there's 1st year anniversary, his birthday, christmas, and of course, MY BIRTHDAY!! woohoo!
linhui will be in genting on my birthday itself so she's gonna celebrate it for me a week in advance.
sounds a little far.... BUT it's never too early to celebrate MY BIRTHDAY!! =D =D
ooo and i think my brother just might make it in time for my birthday too, so that calls for another woohoo! hahhahaha!

hmmmmmmmm now im wondering if i should leave my hair long.
im starting to get envious of how other girls' long hair fly all over their face - it looks.. feminine. hehhe
aiyah.. but then half the time i had long, straight hair last time i was either mistaken as a malay, or a filipino leh. =(

RARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.
i am so angry now but i cant put my feelings into words because i dont think i'll be able to bear the consequences.
you dont really care about what others think, do you.
or do you simply enjoy leaving things to the colourful imagination of beings?
seriously, wtf?

my laptop is down boo.
and my brother and i are having a semi-cold war via msn. sighh
i've been piled with work up to my neck lately - weeknights i used to spend watching tv, surfing the net and playing ds has now been replaced with tuition, jap class and homework.
gee im finally feeling like a proper student again!
but i still miss sociology.
----
the reality IS far from the Ideal, isnt it.
is it just me, or is Growing Up really hard?
wahlao.
i desperately need to shop before i lose my mind man. damn
