High School Musical 3: Senior Year!!

watching at the right theatre (the grand cathay!!) with the right company, its never too bored when you watch this movie TWICE!! ya i know some people will say why watch two times but its really really nice. i love the songs! especially when you hear it twice somemore. and especially when you watch it with the right people who will laugh and snigger at the sweet but corny parts. super fun!! (:

I HATE DRIVING lessons

omg i'm like dreading every lesson now. it started off smooth during the first few lessons but it seems like the more i drive the worst i become. wth. lessons are so damn freaking expensive. so everytime i go for lessons, i'm like practically throwing money into the drain. how am i going to survive for the next few months!! i so wanna meet someone who will gladly sponsor my driving lessons. cuz i'm pretty sure i'll just fail my test, than i'll have to take more lessons, renew my pdl and that will cost so much more. double triple haiz.

and to all those stupid irritating impatient drivers out there, please stop horning your stupid horns at people who are learning. can't you see the bloody L-sign on the car. will it even kill you to have a teenie weenie bit of patience. crap.

i seriously detest driving lessons.

it was a pretty good weekend

saturday was ys and adrienne's bdae party. in the morning, i followed my mum to collect the bdae cake for ys party. and we dropped by SWISS BUTCHERY along the way. in the end, we decided to buy pork cordon bleu and chicken stuffed with mango and bacon and went back home to cook. it was very easy to cook and it very very delicious. the meat are all marinated nicely for you already. and theres so much more food for you to choose over there. just go and check it out yourself. its somewhere along bukit timah road. i'll update again. than i went to city hall to meet my jiemeis to buy adrienne's bdae present. got her a pair of lovely birks. chilled @ yakun for while before heading to grandma's house for ys party. full attendance for cousins! except decheng who is at manchester now. but still, it was great just chatting with them! HSM next sunday. can't wait!! (:

after the party, ys fetched me to boat quay to meet adrienne. though it was for only half an hour, but i still wanna be there to wish this babe of mine happy bdae. and this is not the end, it was ROCKBAND @ tianwee's house after the party. and so allow me to proudly present to you BANDAGE! which includes tianwee koh kokhong andrew ryan and me! super duper fun ((: theres still like 3/4 of the world tour we haven't complete yet. must must train more often.

sunday was study session with the usual 4 and jeremy. we went all the way to T3 to study la. damn freaking far but very very conducive to study.think we should be going back there for more study sessions? lol. but at least i managed to study more than i would if i were at home. so yup it was pretty productive.

i really love hanging out with them (: takes my mind off other stuff

i'm sure we can do much better than this. i really wanna know how are you doing and so much other more things..

tuesday
caught 'The House Bunny' with the usual 4 (koh tian andrew). i love the movie!! especially when you're watching it with your girlfriend. shellie! a bimbotic but optimistic and someone who treasures kinship. cute and very entertaining movie!! and theres so many other movies to watch!! koh better make yourself free ya.

wednesday
was suppose to attend a talk together with jiahui but we got the venue mixed up. so we ended up having dinner at JP. after that, it was supper with the usual 4 at xing wang hongkong cafe. we played bridge with my new jay chou playing cards. but it was damn frustrating. i kept getting all the lousy cards and i lost! damn i need to improve on my bridge! but still, its always these few moments with them that i really get a breather from all the unhappy stuff. thank god for each and everyone of them.

and i FINALY got my jay chou album alr! thanx ya. love it alott ((:

thursday
had my driving lesson. and for the first time i knocked the freaking pole down when i was doing my parking! wtf. think my driving teacher was super exasperated. its like my 8th time doing it and i actually knock the pole down!

anyway was doing some reflections. whatever happened at home is a fact and cannot be changed. nobody to blame. just the wrong decison at the wrong time. but i'm rather surprised i was able to hang all the way until today! i have to be strong, not for myself, but for my mum. dad is always away and bros are busy with their own stuff [heyy i know its not easy doing everything by yourselves, so i'll try to make it as easy as possible for you both k promise] and this includes bridging the gap between me and ys. not an easy task i know. theres lots of things to learn abt maintaining relationships, esp with regards to family. i'm learning new things everyday..

besides that, because of what happened theres so many things i wanna do but i just can't. i guess fate leaves us with no choice sometimes. SO instead of brooding, i tell myself every morning that i got to be happy. cuz that is the only way for me really accept the truth and get on with my freaking life. friends' support and company are definitely what i need at the moment. every words, every actions means something to me. i'm serious. dzyzd! you girls know what i mean.

encapsuled in a cage, where the deepest darkest secret lies.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY DEAREST CHIOBU !!

TGL met up @clarke quay to celebrate jiahui's bdae. its been exactly a year ago that we celebrated her bdae @ Brewerkz. this time eugene was not around to celebrate together. anyway dinner was @ Ma Maison. its a fusion of japanese and western cuisine. i ordered a spaghetti which i thought was okay only. nothing special. so i ended up taking food from the rest. theirs were so much nicer. and a very sweet and pretty japanese waitress treated us to ice cream as it was jiahui's bdae. there was even a candle on the ice cream. excellent service!!

we than headed off to Clinic for a drink and to relax. the place was super packed la. and so we settled down and ordered 1/2 dozen X'Nurse Party, which was basically shooters in the form of a syringe. cool stuff. and next time i wanna try the drinks from the drip bag and milk bottles. andrew joined us after his meeting with his friends and even treated the bdae girl to a lychee martini! lol. chatted for a few hours before heading home.

jiahui! hope you enjoyed yourself last night ya. and always remember no matter what happens, TGL is and will always be there for you k. happy birthday once again. love you chiobu ((:

i'm so in love with ABBA songs now. the songs are so catchy and heartwarming and easy to sing along too. caught ABBA MANIA @ the esplanade today with tianwee andrew sueann yinxi and david. before that tian andrew sueann and i had lunch @ swiss culture. the guys surprised us girls with a bouquet of flower and chocolates each. so sweet of them right. and swiss culture served the best ROSTI!!

than it was off to esplanade to watch the spectacular concert. although it was not the real ABBA singing, but the group was equally fantastic! the concert ended with 'dancing queen' and 'thank you for the music' which made everybody in the theatre stood up on their feet and dance (:

and it was cam whoring after the concert. really enjoyed the company of tianwee's smu friends. they're so fun to be with, esp yinxi! shes so cute la

afterwich we headed to marina square to meet melvin for dinner. dinner was @ azabu sabo. shared a hotpot with tianwee. after melvin and david left to met their friends, the four of us headed to the arcade. we spent close to three hours there playing pool and arcade. and i learned the tactic of playing pool. all thanx to my new 'shifu'

and MORE photos after that

a tired but happy girl ((:

finally! a public holiday after so long. and it falls on a wednesday too which happens to be my longest day of the week. went to sentosa with jiemeis, jeremy, tianwee and andrew. the weather was not what we expected. it was cloudy and windy so we girls were not able to get the tan we wanted. but even still, nothing could stop us from having a helluva time there. we started with playing volleyball. afterwich we girls decided to take a break while the guys continued to play soccer. now that was when the hilarious part of the day came. andrew kicked the ball so damn hard and the ball landed right smack on top of the coconut tree. and so we spent like close to an hour trying to get the ball off the tree (which included throwing rocks, slippers and even borrowing some people's soccer ball to aim at the tree).

and guess how we managed to get the ball off the tree!

afterwich we had a 6-0n-6 with some SAJC peeps. it has been a long time since i ran about so much.we lost track of the scores but i must say we do make a good team ya.haha. tiring but it was very very fun! kinda reminded me of the times in jc when i played hockey with the babes.

and here are a whole lott more photos

girls with guys ((:

love (:

and thats koh and my reflection in tian's shades
