my pet's update letter on its owner..

my pet's antics

I have a pet, it is a hamster. It is brown in colour. Its name is Hammie.

My pet hamster is greedy. She loves to eat hamachi.

Hammie's favourite past time is sleeping. She is very happy when she sleeps. Especially if she is sleeping on my bed.

My pet's hobby is taking photographs. She likes to play with the camera.

She is also very good in art and drew a door tag full of mutant animals for me.

My pet is very naughty and likes to play in warm bedsheets. She helps to wash my clothes and buys toothpaste for me too.

Hammie is very caring. She draws stomach charms for me when my stomach hurts.

She is a mushroom-eating monster.

Sometimes my pet has an identity crisis and thinks that it is a panda.

My pet is also very blur. She loves to do strange things on valentine's day. Like asking her primary school mate to become spiderman and leaving her things behind in my room.

My pet hamster is very sweet. She gives me chocolate and rose on Valentine's day.

Although my pet is very naughty and wants to make steak out of my pet penguin..

I still love my pet a lot :)

16th January 2008 (Wednesday) - Crazy Girls' Club Outing

The outing almost didn't come to materialise, cos weiie and i were snoozing and snoozing in the morning..just refused to wake up! think cos it rained or something..lazy weiie actually suggested staying around sk and hougang! "noo! the food is gonna be worth the travel!" and somehow, we did make it out of our houses..

First let me list weiie's expectations of the outing:
80% eating
19% relaxing slow-paced activity
1% fast paced activity

er hm, obviously mis-matched of expectations between weiie and xuan to begin with..

alright, so weiie and xuan lugged their blades around while my hands were free and allowed me to take lots of paparazzi shots..

we wen pass aston's at tanjong katong and weiie couldn't resist it! she had expectations of 80% eating!

umm can't rem what this..either steak or pork chop..hmm i think pork chop..

yumyums! the grilled fishie was good..but the pasta and tasty rice? not very tasty at all..hello, where's the standard? after having a good meal the first time round, i never had really good sides at aston again..

our dear blading coach, who promised that we'll be blading by the end of the day! whoo..hot right? :p anyone looking for blading coach?



stray..stumble..SPLAT! that's what happened to me.. >.< and SPLAT was where we were pretty contented to stay :) (this was just the end of our practice session..the real thing hadn't started yet! -_-) i sat there and refused to move, coming up with this..

my name is daisy
i'm very lazy
they think i'm hazy
but i'm really crazy

somehow or other, weiie and i survived the torturous training under coach xuan..slacked at the breakwater till dark and then proceeded onto the highlight of the day - food at bedok 85! hahas..

our big spread of food! :) we're small but mighty eaters, hee hee :p ok, i really wanted to box myself, cos i ordered the seafood from the wrong stall..and felt too paiseh to cancel by the time i realised...AYE..

weiie looks very happy with her food!

doing what we do best..eating and talking rubbish :p
as i remember..the topic of the day was about basket cases..
"he is the one because you choose to love him.."
and so we went home - stomachs filled, muscles aching, hearts warmed :)

可能已经找到了 :)

thanks, fion, for all the talk these few days
as much as i was supposed to distract you from thinking about your results
you distracted me from brooding and moping too..
mutual symbiosis eh?
haha..hope your results would be fine! :)

met up with an old friend last thursday, my first friend in uni, to be exact, jia. she's back after a year in france. when she first left, i guess i did miss her, miss having someone to spot strange hairstyles, funny ppl with, wondering what the panda paws all over school were about..

sometimes, with some people, you experience "defining moments". those moments where you know something has changed fundamentally, where your friendship, relationship cannot go back to being the same again. in this case, it's about good defining moments, when you know you're friends, for real. when the wall crumbles and the ice has been melted. with jia, it was over mcflurry ice cream at the engine mcdonald's.

it was nice to catch up with her and to realise that, with some friends, you can just be yourself. no need to worry about having nothing to say, about having to say things to impress others. yup and what i've been worrying she's gonna ask me about, was over and done with quickly. it was quite funny actually.

"you know i heard xx got rejected by this girl..", laughter.."you know who's the girl?" when jia found out, she was laughing so hard, i had to pull her lest she fell onto the road while laughing. haha..xx has been telling ppl that he got rejected cos he was boring but xx thinks that the girl is even more boring -.-"

had a lovely time slacking at the outdoor deck at vivo..and we concluded we're apathetic people with no specific goals in life >.<

Crazy Girls Club

together, we do the craziest things

met 4 dinner together cos weiie's leaving soon

it's always nice to have friends
who are free and have time for you
i'm gonna miss those spur of the moment
let's-eat-and-complain sessions
when weiie leaves T.T

hit by a wave of nostalgia
as i went back to hall today
the road i always walked
where i loved to hum songs
stare up at the pretty blue sky
through the trees
still, i walk that road alone

slacking in the lounge,
talking about everything
books, scandals, make-believe or otherwise
checking out the disgusting fridge
reading notes of indignant ppl
whose food had been stolen
loud laughter
resonating in the empty corridors

all the late night/early morn suppers
fish soup, cheesy omelette, crispy fries, cct
supper at geylang
the only 2 girls who actively eat supper
geylang beef hor fun
dim sum on the roof top
doughnuts and other sweet treats
cooking supper
cheesy mushrooms, milo, instant mee

steamboat at midnight
accidentally locked rooms
and spiderman skirting past windows
to the rescue
go rock-climbing at midnight
just cos we wanted to
celebrate my gd friend's bday
whom she hardly knew

listening to me whine and complain
about people, things, everything
giving me helpful suggestions, advice
sharing gossip and giggles
the super long talks
knocks on the doors
"ham, wake up for dinner!"

shopping at sheng siong
ham trying her best-est to block up the aisle
not talking to some people
just cos we din feel like it
mahjong sessions through the night
invasion of rabbits in my room
getting head-butted by my lil bro
docile hammie when she just wakes up
over-sleeping and acts of blur-ness
that have ceased to amaze me
but still continue to amuse me

hiding in the darkroom
threats of getting ponded
doors slamming
tears and rain
comfort food
the last supper
finishing up left-over food
haphazard packing
boxes after boxes
disturbing long-forgotten dust

i never regretted staying in hall
i just regretted not staying earlier
but then if i had stayed earlier,
we might not have been neighbours

from tears to smiles
i guess my experiences in hall
were pretty much shaped by ham
i duno how i'll survive w/o her
if i do stay in hall next sem
back to lonely existence..

this post is dedicated to ham hamtaro hammie, my dearest neighbour :)

*rawr, still unhappy with the edit..needs further editing!*

tired..hvn slept more than 5 hours a night since saturday..
there's no work..and then the work bombs drop from the sky
and demand to be dealt with on the day itself

after making much preparations, finally watched shrek 3
read shrek 3 kids' book
played shrek 3 game
wear green shirt
almost got a shrek headband

hmm well, it wasnt much
i cldnt help spotting bits of diff movies in it
the walking trees from lord of the rings
the villians in the bar from harry potter
the magicians and magic gone wrong from harry potter
the oriental stage from i duno where

thot the closing credits were pretty cool..aha
i shall just catch shrek 2 on tv this sunday..
i think it was funnier and more enjoyable

manhatten's fish market was nice..
but guilty >.< all fried
and that's my 2nd big meal this week..
with sakae sushi buffet being the 1st..

what do you need in a job?
1. certainty
2. variety
3. significance
4. love and connection

i think 2, 3, 4 all quite impt to me..
xuan and weiie thinks i need love and connection the most
lol, love me

ya, having some social adaptation problems at work i think..
not sure if it's worth adapting much too
since i'll only be around for around 1 more month?
we'll see how things go..

just in case it's not clear enough from the picture, the score says 107, after hard work by weiie, xuan and i..aha..alright, we shall strive for higher scores! the previous time i play with fion, we only got 20+..this game is rather fun and healthy too! though expensive, if u cant shoot properly >.<

diversification of investments
not putting all your eggs into one basket
put them into some far-flung baskets

dun 4get about your eggs
lest they turn into century eggs

lol

the absurd things lee wan hoon come up with

*faintz*

yesterday i bought 7 tea eggs
for 7 special people
who have made a difference in my life
this semester
whom i consider as friends
ham, xmm, oxymoronic, taro, tekko and sq

it's nice to do something for other people :)
warm tea eggs on a cold rainy day
huddled into a small room
where laughter fill the air
and bring some warmth and cheer
to many a heart
(i hope)

Settler's Cafe
great minds at work! haha...


blokus! mine is red, shumz is yellow, fion is blue and sasa's green..haha..sasa..


gambling queens with their igloos..

"shake, shake, shake!"

tai-tai lifestyle

painted the town red(kinda) with fion 2day! :) sang lotsa songs at kbox, seriously i think it's the most i ever sang, though she still complains that i sang very little. but then you gotta realise that i know songs but can't sing them! more training required! sang till almost hoarse and i ate nonya laksa ok!

it's really fun to walk around, eat Ben & Jerry's ice-cream, play arcade, shop when people are like hard at work or in school. it's a privilege i will try my best to enjoy till i have to enter the *real* world. :)

think i almost drove her nuts with my "hai ya, hai ya", which means "yes ah, yes ah" in cantonese.. yep, my new cantonese teacher..yup, learnt some new lines

"lei sek bao mei?"
"lei oi sek meh ye?"
"hou sek mo?"

jx has promised to teach me more tomorrow! :)

my mum was laughing at my attempts to learn cantonese..she ask me "you want to marry a cantonese?" *haha...wonders why she never ask me if i want to marry a japanese?

btw, i suspect that my brother has a new girlfriend. *this is a live report from the resident kaypoh* it's now almost 2 am and the room next door is still dark and empty. although it is a friday night but my brother seldom goes out till very late at night. moreover, he's not been coming home for dinner. hmmm...*haha, good for him lah! my driving instructor who's the same age as him has already ROM-ed!

took me 20 lessons to confirm what i've always suspected..haha..but then i don't probe much into people's private business lah..my driving intstructor is really quite nice, man! spent the last 2 sessions talking to him in my canto accent! especially the last session since i'd rested well and was in a good mood to entertain him. yup, kinda feel sorry for him sometimes that he has to work such long hours. no life ah!

today, we have funny hoonie and me..

i dun generally sleep with my handphone next to me, but 2day, i was listening to the radio b4 i fell asleep in the afternoon.

it's very funny to talk to me when i'm asleep, or so i heard :p from cc and fion, i think?

i'll just tell u some rubbish tt i dun even know what i'm saying..dun take my words seriously..

nice little me will assure u that i m awake, yes, i m going to wake up, so it's ok, just say whatever u want :)

yup, i m not sure what rubbish i really said to the 2 callers today..i can vaguely remember some bits..i suspect the 1st caller got more rubbish..babu..*hahaha :p cos i was probably in deep sleep or smtg..went back to sleep for another 2 hrs.

as for the second call, j, think i was more lucidly, assuring her that yes it's fine, i'm going to wake up already..like real.

i woke up 2 hours later.

better clear up what rubbish i said to those two later! *argh..

yah, all in all, i slept 6hrs in the afternoon 2day! equivalent to one night's sleep sometimes. gosh, dunno why i was so tired?

anyway, i've come up with a series of countermeasures to prevent further such episodes (like all good governments would do)..

COUNTERMEASURES
when you call me, if i sound sleepy, do the following:

1. ask me if i m awake
(this usually doesn't work, cos i'll def assure u tt i'm awake, which is so not true)

2. ask me if i m lying or sitting up
(if lying, think u can 4get abt it, unless my voice is really like wake up already. if sitting up, got hope..but then again, i cld be lying..)

3. ask me come "cheem" maths question like "a x b x c + d /e = ?"
(guess what? i probably cant even do it awake. but you can gauge my lucidity from the answer)

4. tell me to go back to sleep and call back later
(this is the best way out, i think. dun count on my promises to call you back, cos i might not even remember.)

if it's really really important,

5a. start screaming loudly into the phone
(this has 2 consequences, either i wake up or get irritated and throw the phone away. if the latter occurs, you hv no hope of contacting me on the hp anymore.)

or

5b. call my house and ask whoever you can get to wake me up
(this only works if there is anyone at home. otherwise dire consequences await you. continuously ringing telephones, incure my wrath, when i'm sleeping, like nothing else does.. and if you hang up just when i pick up the phone, that's it! die..)

luckily, i m not like my brother, who will get really irritated when u wake him up. then again, maybe it's cos i disturb him.

talking about which, he's qt heartless..2 days and not a phonecall in hear. (expression adapted from not a soul in sight)

Bugis Outing with Xuan

realise, i'm like blog-catching now..if there's such a term..haha, trying 2 catch up with all e stuff i wanted 2 blog abt but din get around to doing..

ok, it was really nice going out to Bugis with Xuan, though i really wld hv wanted to slack at home more :) 3 missons accomplished. Got my hair cut, found a shop selling some jewellery making stuff and found the mango dessert shop, although apparently, it wasnt the correct one.. Who cares, as long as it's good?

Xuan's going 2 Thailand - w/o me :( - so naturally, she was trying not to buy stuff, save up the $, go over to thailand and buy the stuff. Shd hv seen how gleeful she looked man, when the shopkeeper told her tt most of the Bugis stuff is from Thailand. Haha, very funny lor :p We were like looking at the stuff and saying, oh, go Thailand buy cheaper lah! Looking 4ward to many presents! :p I want birks and the nice nice heart-shaped pocket jeans..if u see lah :) I am not so demanding right? Haha..who am i kidding? :p

Spent a long time in Monster Ice eating the mango dessert and talking..feel so well-connected and well-informed..Haha..say some more lah, Xuan, next time dun share gossip already :p Ooh, met a pl senior while going home and tt sparked off another round of "dishing the dirt" out on ppl we haven seen in a long long time..haha er, this paragraph sounds really qt bad..but it wasnt tt bad lah..just the usual informing kind of thing tt happens right? i'm just being truthful :)

We went round and round the shops and checked out a few hairdressers. The one tt really caught our fancy, was this pretty young, modern looking one, with a cool-looking hair stylist inside :) Haha..he's got nice hair! Golden locks..like goldilocks..ok, like crapping..haha.. Yeah, but he really did remind me of some Japanese anime character..like one of those Naruto gang one? But he doesnt seem tt violent lah - like very gentle, speak very softly. Anyway the most important thing is tt i like my hair :) tt is a rare occurence. Cos generally, my hair needs at least a few miracles to look gd yah..not tt it looks very great but at least i like it..ok, whatever..sounding outta pt..

Yeah, he's only e 2nd hair dresser who does not wet my hair with water while cutting it. I really dun like the wetting hair thing, cos my hair has a life of its own and wetting it while cutting only makes it seem neat - which is an illusion. An illusion I do not like. The other hair dresser who does not wet my hair is somewhere far away in a small town called Taiping in Perak, West Malaysia. Which is just too far for me 2 travel, just to cut my hair. So perhaps, I'll be frequenting this salon more?

Anyway, Bugis Village has really expanded a lot, more exciting? Worth taking a look and a second look. I might be back there soon.. :)

very tired yesterday and now..din recover from e "shopping" trip with xuan the day b4..was so sleepy when i went 2 sch 2 play badminton with uncle jason..i know my right arm is seriously going 2 ache really badly..plus my legs..ask me why! cos i had 2 keep picking up the shuttlecock, cldnt hit it most of e time! but then i "beat" jason 3 games out of 3..how so? cos of the scoring system..each mistake he makes or i score..i get 5 pts! haha..he only gets 1 pt..twice, he got 24-20..when he was going 4 e final "kill"..erm, he missed..haha :p so i was pretty happy i won :) although yes, i know, sure, he's definitely the better player..whoo, i wld love to see a match bet him and kelly or siong..will be exciting! :)

vick walked to nus from sp to join us for lunch! slacked in e soci honours room (which is really messy, i assure u :p *shhh) and was so so sleepy while they were talking and talking abt e ideal size of a volunteer grp..took monkey photos of vick on the way home..they're really cool! i shall start this collection soon.."monkey shots"...haha..so far hv monkey pics of 3 ppl - him and my 2 bros :)

Went for my 1st jewellery making class at night with shumz. Pretty exciting i must say! :) I guess i like observing new ppl. The class got qt a few tai-tais - whom, well, i din exactly take a liking 2 lah. I guess it's like when u meet new ppl, u always try 2 look for similarities in tt person to identify with. Apparently, i din find much 2 identify with e tai-tais. Sat next 2 this girl, whom i think is nice. Her name's Cindy. She's really fast and efficient! Helped me along 2. Yeah, i identify with her. Haha, i'm glad she's going 2 continue with e lesons 2, can see her next week :)

happy birthday, lao nuren! :)

thanks 4 e mac breakfast treat! *hahah..someone claims she's feeling rich...

*hint hint hint* weiie, u know what 2 do on wed right? :p

i just came back from a binge!!! bloated...my whole stomach is filled with carbos and lipids! hokkien mee and mee pok?? lethal combination!!! i can feel the chilli, water and noodles swimming in my stomach and the heart pumping extra hard..arghh!! be forewarned, xuan, i will disturb u next week!! chilli crabs!! my poor stomach.. :(
