**Welcome back, Linx!!**

Welcome back my dear zu zu...bet u had a great trip, i am so envious!!! Haha, Hope u can come and meet me and pk tmr...hee

Well, finally startin work tmr...after one and a half month of slackin, i finally get income...haha Come and visit me okies, i will be at suntec convention hall from 1st June to 5th June. It is the world book fair so can come and see see look look if you all got time :) I will be at the international section selling maths educational aid. Wonder how i will do as a sales girl...haha

Well, finished soft skills course for orientation yesterdae after 3 gruelling days...haha now havin muscle ache, esp my arms...good trainin man!! The course had been good and all facils-to-be should reallie go fer it. Through the course, i learnt alot of things, skills that go beyond the orientation...yup, can apply to project work next sem as well...hee

Another thing is the people i got to know there. The way SMU separated the freshies into 2 blocks kinda restricted our social circle and there are so many pple in sch that i never see b4 or see before but dunno name kind. Those people whu went fer the weekend session had been a great company. Keep in touch ya...haha

Still veri sleepy now, kenna woken up by the plumber cos my house's toilet bowl spoil. Cannot even sleep properly, my mum came to say smth at 8 PLUS...8 PLUS can?? Sigh, after that i dreamt of the toilet bowl and the plumber called cos nobody answered the door. Can't be helped cos my door bell oso spoil, hiaz how sad!! After fiddling with it fer an hr the toilet bowl still choked, i seriously wonder wat my dad dropped in in the mornin...nvm, hope he can clear it tmr if not no more shittin at home alr...hee

Just a reminder, go fer the world book fair okies...then can come and visit me...first time do sales, i can be quite bored, good to have frens to come and visit me...hee

**Korean drama Overdose**

Realised i am not equipped to fully appreciate korean drama. Following are the observations i made of the current korean drama i am watchin...jus want to know the endin, seriously!!
No. 1: Too draggy.
No. 2: Too predictable.
No. 3: The guys cry too much.
No. 4: The gers cry even more.
No. 5: For goodness sake, cant the damn director jus let the lovers be together instead of goin one big round and when they can finally get together, one MUST die. And it happens not oni once but for almost all the other serials, it just point towards one thing - Koreans are sadistic, and i mean it. I tink singaporeans by and large like happy ending and i am definitely one of those people. I usually curse and swear when local dramas have sad endings and i am sure most of you have done that before too. To me, it is simply a waste of time if the drama has a sad endin, but i am still gonna finish watchin the current drama cos i am 4 discs away and it will be wrong to jus give up like that. But deep down, i am hopin fer a different endin even though i can predict rather accurately the endin (the female lead will die of illness and the evil doers will get their just desserts. The male lead will most likely kill himself oso or he will remain single all his life that kinda thing)...haha
No. 6: Unrealistic
ok, come on, we all know it too well, where got guys so zhuan1 yi1 one? He can still be obsessed with the one ger even though she had been assumed dead fer 5 years. Oh pls, it's not realistic at all!!! Yes, it's nice to watch some rich guy tryin fanatically to locate his childhood lover but guys being guys, they jus move on, faster than u think they can. So yah, u get the idea, it's unrealistic.

ok, enough of korean drama, tink i am more suited to hk serials and local dramas. At least i can look forward to a happy ending after sloggin fer hours in front of the tv. I strongly believe that watching tv is supposed to help us relax, not inflict more sadness, so no more sappy dramas after this one...

These few days are the remainin of my nua-in days, gonna start work or go fer soft skills workshop this weekend, it depends how things go tmr at the trainin session. Hope to clear my soft skills this weekend so i can work properly next month...i need the cash, feel so poor, esp so since i gotta pay fer my drivin test that is comin in a day's time...ohh, how stressed can i get.

Hmm, my tution kid maciam my fren, that day she lent me her photocopied version of the short story "Flowers for Algernon", and i think it is a story worth readin...It is reallie touchin but i appreciate the sad ending this time. It jus make me think how we all should appreciate the ability to think and stop lamenting that we are stupid at the slightest mistake. At least we are able to realise that we have made a mistake, think of people whu dun. Well this story kinda reminded me of the clients at SunDac, people of lower intelligence. I can so easily relate gordon to those clients whu are mosre willing to learn and help. How the operation may make them brighter than any of us readin this.

Alrite, read this para from the short story, wanna post this up...here it goes:
"How strange it is that people of honest feelings and sensibility, who would not take advantage of a man born without arms or legs or eyes - how such people think nothing of abusing a man born with low intelligence..."

**Busy day**

Had drivin at noon. First time circuit since march 15. Reallie excited abt it cos veri long never go into circuit that i had a bad dream abt it. In the dream, i witnessed a super wave while on a cruise and i was busy runnin for my life that i was late fer drivin. It's the kind of dream i always get when i am scared that i will be late, jus like first day of school, work or anything impt. Paranoia u call that...haha

Hmm, today's circuit feels good, at least the feelin of bitin point is back. After all, cant deny that i lost touch after 2 months of not touchin the wheels...hee slope still a bit screwed, always no strength to pull down the handbrake...usin 2 hands now, then i will forget to step on accelerator while pullin the handbrake...sighz nvm, still got time to perfect it, jus dun stall can alr...hee

Met clare at abt 340 at PS. Late fer 10 mins oni and the guy bu shuang alr, not like he never make me wait b4 like that...haha Gave him tips on ways to make his blog nicer...haha but my lappie keep givin me prob at macs, wasted my time and battery...on the whole still managed to pass the skills required by 6pm...

After that went down to city hall to have combined ltb gatherin with ocean's 9. Had dinner at Kenny's and their TA, adrian gave tips on which profs are good fer certain classes...hee as usual, i was the slowest but i tink i ordered too much...no lunch tmr alr!! haha Sher came at 8 plus and she DIN eat anything and that oni serves to make me feel more guilty cos i ate so much...hiaz!

Yv needs to exercise...desperately. The jog with jiahuan on sun left me achin all the way until thurs, that's shows how long i din exercise...well, tmr should be fine la, the oni thing is whether i can wake up in time!! Y on earth did i suggest joggin in the mornin at 830??? I wonder...

Speechless.

**Going Crazy...**

I am impressed by how 2 hrs of sleep could sustain me fer so long. First aid course in the mornin and then chillin out with dk after that. First aid course was interestin fer the first 2 modules which taught basic first aid and CPR. By right should be able to perform CPR la but i reallie doubt my ability...never do practical, ended up chit chattin at the back with jh...hee

Did a bit if catchin up with dk at the esplanade and he showed me a reallie nice place, never tot i could access that place, it's like the perfect place fer tourists and erm...couples. Saw lots of them at nite and we looked at though we were intrudin but i dun care, the night view is reallie nice!! Great fer frens to chill out oso and the best thing is it's FREE!! Listenin to the band up there was a great enjoyment. The thing is that the pictures taken there makes me look superimposed...u will get the idea when i post the pictures up...hee

Hiaz, my mj kakis are late again, kinda expected la...say comin at 1 but it's now 110 alr and still no sound from them...well, my bro org one wat can i expect when he is late king...sheesh...Gotta continue waitin but if they still dun come soon i am gonna fall asleep alr...ZzzZzz

**Insomnia it is not**

Can't sleep. Can't sleep. Can't sleep.

Regret nappin in the evenin. Regret drinkin the tea at midnite. Now i cant even sleep to get the much needed energy fer the first aid course tmr. I know i won't be able to sleep if i napped but i still napped. I know i won't be able to sleep if i drink tea at nite but i still drank. I know this and i know that but i still make the wrong choice. Tell me am i dumb or am i dumb? Can't stand myself, tink i should go back to bed and try to fall asleep. It is now 4am, gonna wake up at 7am later.

Serves me rite! Dang!!

**I'm back**

I'm back

I'm back

I'm back

I'm back

I'm back

Yeah!!! I'm back!!! Even though i have been back fer more than a day but i am still excited abt being back home. Even more happie when i look at the things i bought back from bangkok...My luggage increased from to a modest 6.2 kg to a whopping 13.4 kg and that's not counting the hand carry...haha that's a lot of things i bought back!! Damn proud of myself but as all humans are greedy, now i am regrettin not buyin more...haha well, here's a recap from sat to tues...

Sat
Landed on bangkok at 2pm bangkok time (1 hr slower than Singapore) and again i malu-ed myself...realised that every trip i sure have some malu incident...without fail, and hongyi mus remind me of it on the way back home...hiaz, can write book alr lor...anyway, we reached the hotel at 345 and was more than an hr before schedule so it felt reallie good. Saw jialing and elaine at First hotel lobby and i was damn shocked la. Imagine seein jialing so many miles away from home, seldom see her walk ard in sch then can meet her at bangkok...how shockin!!!

Our first stop was Pratunam market and it was rather disappointin cos i din buy much, save fer a few resort t-shirts that required stretchin cos i am toooooo FAT!!! Was so hungry there that nothing looked good or was is becos nothin looked good that't y i felt hungry...i oso dunno. But well, went to eat sandwich cos i saw nothing worth buyin. After that walked walked a bit then go eat seafood dinner!!! It turned out to be quite expensive but the baked prawn was damn damn good...it's huge and i mean real huge!! It was so big that i couldn't believe it's prawn, kept exclaimin that it's lobster, yah, u get the idea la. And the best thing was it was not oni huge, it was damn delicious...the tot of it make me hungry alr...haha

After dinner, we walked to Big C and Zen that area where o bough the bulk of my ear rings...its so cheap it's criminal can? oni 65 cents and u get a pair of nice dangling ear rings...regret not buying more...i can never have enuff of ear rings (even though i oni have 2 piercings) Bought dunkin donuts and had the look-good-taste-good vanilla donut...HEAVENLY!!!

Sun
Took train to Mo Chit (beside Chatuchak aka the weekend market) and saw a lot of SMU peeps and i mean alot...haha kinda feels like the whole LTB class was there...Bought alot of stuff and it's reallie affordable...bought so much that now anythin that is above 8 bucks (200 baht) feels expensive...sufferin from the Great Bangkok Sale hangover now. At chatuchak, it's reallie jus grab and go kinda scenario, anything that i can fit or seem to fit i jus buy, and it feels good to be able to squeeze in after tryin it out back at the hotel, but there was this pair of 3 quarts that i cant fit...damn wasted. pink colour lor, sianz!! Nvm, at least never waste, zj could fit in...hee

Well, at nite, dunno y but i jus couldn't sleep. It was a good thing jh was wheezin away cos i felt a bit uneasy in the room, jus feel insecure and even though i was tired, i jus couldn't drift into lala land. I tried not to tink abt it and i tink it was abt 20 mins before drowsiness took over. Can't believe i am so timin when in Singapore i have no qualms abt goin to sleep all alone at midnite when nobody is at home...maybe bangkok is reallie unclean...but more imptly, i tink it's the bible that i saw near the bed. I never have a good feelin when i see bibles lyin ard in hotels, too many dramas i tink...sheesh

Mon
Went to Yaowarat aka chinatown and suay suay got a blur driver, dunno whether he blur or he purposely drive us ard to cheat us. Made one big round when we act reached without noein, act jh saw the hotel but the driver keep on goin so me and zj tot she saw wrongly...damn, she was rite la the hotel was jus to our left lor...nvm oni 20 baht more nia, not even one buck, so i shall let i rest. Well, Chinatown was pathetic, i conclude that u should oni go there if u wanna set up a business cos everything there is wholesale one...for example, if u wanna buy a pair of shoes, u need to get a 6 pairs, rangin from the smallest size to the largest...damn sian lor cos i saw a pair that i like and i dun need all the sizes ma. Aniwae, the bags are worth buyin, but need to buy at least 6 and then can get a rebate rate of 150 baht. hee bought 2 bags and i am gonna say this again, i should be bought more. hee

Proceeded to Siam sq at abt noon cos chinatown was simply too borin. Adidas at sian sq was obviously overrated and we left fer MBK without buying anything. MBK was good, lunch was cheap, costin oni S$2.5 fer a 2 piece chicken and a coke. Shoppin was even more fabulous...bought lotsa fake polo shirts, 199 baht bags and local products. So happie, managed to buy my fav "dogshit" aka compressed pork floss if u tink i like exotic food...haha Bought so many things that we went back to hotel to put down our stuff and go back to MBK to continue...Too many bags made shopping difficult and browsing became obstructive. Felt so good to be empty-handed...hee

Had dinner at Thailand's Sizzler fer one-third of Singapore's price and again, we all stuff until wanna die...seriously bad fer the stomach but it's a buffet, so cant blame us oso...*embarrassed smile* After dinner, it was round 2 of shoppin. MBK is a shopping paradise but be prepared to pay a little more cos it's air-conditioned but Chatuchak is still the best if not fer the stuffiness and crowd.

Wanted to ton whole nite one, but bain and hy conked out at ard 1am and jh followed suit. So at abt 1 plus, me and jiahuan went over to zj and sh's room to tok lor...drank alc and had donuts...but i also din last long, jus curdled up on zj's bed and if jh din wake me up i would have jus slept there...haha Went back to my room but since hy and bain were sleepin soundly, me and jh went over to their room to sleep instead of wakin them up..


Tues
Alomst couldn't wake up if not fer jh's consistent wakin...was zombiefied cos of the late nite. Had a 80% full bf and it was time to make our way to the airport. Reached there early and took a few pictures, din take much cos it was a shoppin trip, not a sightseein one...haha will post them up when i get my hands on it...wheee!! The best part was the weighin of luggages...it's amazin how our luggages managed to be below 15kg despite all the crazy shoppin...mine and bain's luggage weighed the heaviest at 13.4 kg...even jiahuan's birkenstock weighed less...i am surprised jus as she was disappointed...haha

Tounched down on Singapore at 2 pm and it was post bangkok shoppin at the duty free shop. Bought Bailey's so good news to all mj kakis...haha bribe me la...hee

Well, rather late now gotta go sleep.

Here's a quote: Forget about the Great Singapore Sale, try the Great Bangkok Sale!

**Sojourn**

Leavin in less than 12 hrs to a paradise of shoppers!!! And wat's more, it's with 6 other great gers as company. Foresee a blast of a hols man!!! This is definitely something i have been lookin for for this hols and its so relaxed i cant be bothered to pack oso...short of anything, jus go and buy...haha so i am not exactly worried abt forgettin stuff.

So many things so buy man and i reallie hope i can shop till i drop, my supplies of clothes fer the yr hinges in this trip man...haha gonna have lotsa great memories to take back from this trip, jus pray that i dun embarass myself there la, like the classic hongkong incident that still tickles the 4 of us whenever we tink of it...sheesh, not a repeat man!!

Well, was tryin to do last min muggin on basic thai...it's act quite fun to listen and learn how to pronounce terms...thai is quite fun to learn i tink but most imptly its the novelty la, learn a few still can but if i were to be fluent then i dun tink it would be that fun. I can actually relate some of the terms to laos language cos got some similarity...things like 1 to 10 are similar fer most of it, and mai khao jai (in thai) = i dun understand is kinda similar to bo khao chai (in laos) and bo bhian yang (nevermind in laos) = mai phren rai (in thai)...so i have an easier time figurin easy stuff like these out...hope the emergency thai i picked up can come in handy in bangkok...jus tinkin of it makes me happie...gonna be another sleepless nite...

okies gtg, huiying goin to call to let me know her shoppin list...ciaos

P.S. Dun miss me when i am gone...haha will be back soon la...

**An early day...yesterdae...**

First time in almost 2 weeks that i wake up before noon...realise there are so many that can be done by waking up early...but then again, sleep is my greatest asset fer the time being, not gonna give it up till i find the "spice" of my life (refer to my msn nick). Actually i tink i found it...in a shop i went to with pk and weilin yesterdae...hee

All thanks to weilin...me and pk ended up like 2 hungry ghosts yesterdae...i was so hungry i started hallucinatin abt the fillet-o-fish burger and how i could finish the whole burger in 1 min flat (must understand that it's an outstanding feat considerin my eatin speed)...that's how hungry i was!!! Went to kenny's fer lunch (er, no...dunch) and took some photos. I shan't tell u guys wat embarrassin act i did there...but i will post the pictures after gettin it from weilin aka my zhu zhu. Also went to the supermarket marketplace at basement of raffles city and i tell u, that place is fantastic...there are so many thing u cannot find in ordinary supermarts like ntuc...the variety is like whao!! I love that place, it's so fun jus to walk walk and check out the weird stuff they have there...at the top of the weird list was this packet of naturally blue potato chips i saw...ok claim that it's gross but i tink it's quite interestin...hee

Went home rather early, managed to reach b4 9pm...haha and i finished readin the book "the rule of four". Must say i am impressed with the riddles and the deciphering process but i am a tad disappointed with the endin...not here not there and the part i most looked forward to readin was not written. I am writtin this at the risk of being seen as shallow but i reallie love to know if they manage to find the destination of the crypt and the secret behind it...it would be great if they can find the treasures promised...jus like the endin from the movie "National treasure". I am a tad disappointed cos this is not the ending i want...what kind of ending is this?? But still, i wanna give credit fer the marvellous plot...all except the bu san bu si ending...would there be a part 2 to the book? hee I tink a movie based on the book would be great...jus like the "da vinci code" that is comin at yr end 2006.

okies, gonna go sch to sign a dumb doc...waste time and effort walkin up the dumb hill...well, fer the last few times at least...

**Lonely No More**

Been a rather busy day, at least for the later half of the day. Cos by the time i woke up, half the day has alreadie passed me by...haha anw, it's the same everyday, fer the past week. And the nua-in is gettin into me, feel so aimless and friendless...everyday i jus eat sleep watch tv read book eat sleep watch tv. Feels like i am wastin my youth (but i can afford it la, but not for long man) and i feel so guilty. Really.

Well, had our usual ct group outin...got wonderful peeps like weilin (my zhu zhu), pk (my zu ren), clarence (thanks fer the drinks even though i took the leftovers from pk...it's nice that u always "volunteer" to treat us...heh) , darius (the $1400 face) and zhenhao (the $1400 face wannabe)...with special appearance by emmanuel and the first thing that came out of his toopid mouth was " Your hair sucks!!" and the whole vicious cycle of us bickering goes one full circle. That stupid guy saw my hair b4 lor but guess he was too preoccupied with my pimples that he overlooked my hair...sian, y remind me of this hair? Gonna keep my hair long alr..apparently everybody cant accept my short hair...even pk and weilin commented on my hair...hiaz

Went to marina bay fer steamboat dinner...the last time i went was with Paws (Biz law group) if i am not wrong i had an unforgetable experience with the live crabs and this time its the flying cockroach act...the first time it came over to our table, it flew past me and landed on darius' shirt and it totally sent me running in the opposite direction. The second time, it flew onto my legs and i screamed and brushed it away. Lucky its oni my legs and not my shirt lor, cant imagine me using my hands to brush it away...i tink i would turn the table in my horror la...ok,i know i am pathetic...but i cant help it, i tink its some kinda psychological wiring...jus gotta live with it.

Oh and i tink i was still terrified of grilling life prawns due to the previous experience with Paws...seriously tink it's too cruel to kill the prawns by grilling them and watch them jump in pain (it's personification but i tink there is a certain degree of undesirable feelin we are inflictin on them) so i was strongly against the idea of grillin the prawns even though zhen hao commented that grilled prawns taste nicer (i agree, but no thanks). It was a good dinner despite the heat but as i am tyopin this entry, i am hungry, yes, told u guys i will be hungry at nite alr...sighz

Right now, i am still contemplatin whether to go fer practice tmr...a part of me tells me that i should go but a larger part of me is lazy to make the trip to tampines. Well, it all depends on whether i can wake up in time to make my way down. I hope i can.
