INSPIRATION
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want, He makes me lie down in green pastures, He leads me beside the still waters, He restores my soul, He leads me in the paths of righteousness, For His name's sake. Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, For You are with me, Your rod, Your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies You anoint my head with oil, My cup runs over, Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me, All the days of my life, And I will dwell in the house of the Lord, Forever. -Ps 23-

O Hai!
I've less than successfully moved yesterday. Realised I couldn't finish packing in time. So, decided to pack the more important things first and move it over. So half of my things are at my old place and half at my new. Planning: Fail.
Was so tired yesterday. Splitting headache, landlady yabbering away at what I can and cannot do in the house, realised I didn't bring facial cotton so I couldn't remove makeup effectively omg. Internet wasn't working. Internet wasn't working. Bad, bad day. But glad that's over and done with. Well, not really. Gotta move the rest of the stuff next weekend. Shit.
Oh btw, I've moved to Farrer Park. That's on the purple line. My workplace is on the green line. This morning I had to change from Purple to Red at Dhoby Ghaut, then change from Red to Green at City Hall. Yummy. But surprisingly, took only half an hour, all in all. Not too bad. It's gonna be better once school starts. Farrer Park is only two stops, 4 mins, away from Dhoby Ghaut where school is.
I'm zonked today. Project presentation on Wed. Yikes =/

Of displacement.
I hated this place. I hated the people, the space, or lack thereof, I hated the guards, the amenities. I hated the location, which is always too far walking back from school but always too near at 8.20am in the morning when the dread of class overwhelms me. Yet, I'm feeling an extreme sense of loneliness now that I'm actually moving out. The thought of not walking around the block for XingHo chicken rice, or Sunshine Plaza wantan mee. Tau huey, oh God will I miss the tau huey.
As I play tetris with my things in the confines of 4 boxes, I've unwittingly uncovered a recollection of time's past. Letters, postcards, movie stubs. I smiled. If two years of Singapore gave me such an amazing, indescribable life journey, I look forward the the coming ones =)

Hey!! I've been kinda busy... So this is a summary post to tell you all what I've been up to in the past couple of weeks (other than working!). P/s: ALL unedited pics, too lazy to edit and prettify haha.
1) I've been drinking alot of home-mixed sangria. It's like the best drink EVER. It's a mix of wine, juice (apple or orange), soda, and some rum or any other liquor you like. Try it ;) It's easy to drink (unlike vodka mixers) and it can be really sweet and refreshing if you add more juice and soda!
2) Had crazy, alco-fueled BBQ with my internmates. The night ended in a drunken mess but we all had lots of fun!
3) Cooked! It was a last-minute cookerama with PQ and YC! I must say... it turned out pretty good! We're gonna do steak tomorrow! Haha...
4) I BOUGHT A MACBOOK PRO 13.3", 2.26 GHz. R U JEALOUS MUAHAHA =P

For a quintessential rock band like Incubus, they play pretty sappy love songs.
Love hurts, but sometimes it's a good hurt,I haven't found the time to update. I've found a house, or a room, rather. Tell you more about my new place soon, and why I think getting absolutely wasted is funny.
And it feels like I'm alive.

Gahh~~~ house hunting is soooo annoying. It's damn difficult to find a place NEAR school with a reasonable price. I've found a few farnee places:
Place 1: Bain Street (across the street from my school omg)
The catch is... it's Bras Basah Complex hahaha wtf. BBC is this super old HDB block. And the tenant is a family with 3 kids!! No wireless internet. No aircon. Room only got bed and wardrobe. But it's going for S$500 though. Even the agent said it might not be suitable for me. But it's cheap and near school T_T
Place 2: Beach Road (also super near school)
Going for $700... not bad, not bad. Catch is... the owner will conduct Buddhist prayers in the house every 1st and 15th of the Chinese calender -_-" seriously...
Sigh. Will add to the list if I find anymore funny places haha. In the mean time, who can help me find?? =( I have to move out by the end of this month already man. Stress. Ahh shit.

Hey all~ The past week was totally exhausting!
Not enough sleep + sweaty cos its too hot = cranky x 100.
Came back from Msia on Monday night. Had such a great time at the Risk Planning meeting. Ah, got shot during my presentation but my bosses helped me answer some really pointed questions. The whole experience was so cool =) Happy! Things got even more fun when alco was involved... heh heh heh... Went home after the event and stayed for an effective two days only! Better than nothing I guess. Got a chance to see my bro who came back for the summer (he's gone back as well). Ren, I know you're reading this.. ok la I miss you a little -_-"
Can't wait for the weekend. Bored already.

Wah Singapore has its first case of swine flu! It was brought over by none other than a SMU student. She was in NY on a Business Study Mission (BSM). A BSM is a class where students learn about the business profile and environment of a certain locality, and at the end of the class, they go for a 1-2week visit of the place. SMU infamous. BSMs infamous.
Oh btw, my friend PeiQi (link on the left) went for BSM Middle East! Click on her blog to read her posts on it. Quite cool. The BSM Scandinavia people are at Scandi right now!! I feel like going for one next year too heh. There's been BSM Russia, BSM China, and BSM Korea in the past! I'd totally got if there's a BSM Europe or BSM South American man. haha.
I'll be leaving for KL this afternoon. Will be in KL till Saturday, and back home in Klang till Monday =)

Dududu~~ This morning was interesting as well! I woke up at 6am so I could go to the Malaysian Consulate to renew my passport yay!! The last time I wanted to do it, I told my boss I'd take the morning off to do it so I'll only be coming in just before lunch. Well, I overslept and yes I did come in just before lunch but I didn't get to renew my passport hahaha... So today I took the chance and went super early, hoping I'd get it done before 9am.
Reached the consulate at 7.20am and there was a queue already!! But I was no. 7!! woohoo! The whole compound of the consulate looks like a resort man. super nice. I felt like I was back in Msia.. the guard at the guard house was damn rude, the officer in the waiting area was screaming at everybody (dunno screaming about what), people were cutting queues... Yup, just like Msia =) Anyway, got everything done before 8.30am! I'm was surprised at the efficiency. Apparently the immigration department in Msia called my house to remind me to renew my passport too.. wow T_T
Decided to train to work instead of cabbing... I've been cabbing a little too much lately. So, as I was reaching my station, I pulled out my purse and started to gather $1 in coins so I could buy my ritualistic donut for breakfast ^^ Suddenly the train braked hard and my purse slipped, and the coins in my coins purse flew in all directions. my god. So embarrassing. I dunno whether I should pick it up or not cos my stop was in 30 seconds. I started to frantically pick up what I could... I was on my knees picking up 5cents and 10cents.... hurhurhur... but then other people around me started to help me pick up the coins as well... sigh. thank god for nice people. or maybe they were just sympathetic.
So yeah. My mornings are always so happening. Jealous?

I've been awake for only 2.5 hours and I've already had a majorly dulan morning!
First, I forgot to bring my laptop to work, which wouldn't have been such a big deal if I hadn't left some important stuff in there! Note to self: Transfer everything to desktop everyday!! Like how can I forget to bring something as big as a laptop omg. stupid.
So!! I texted my roomate to send me those files... yay happy for 5 mins. THEN! I realised I left my drawers/cupboard keys at home! How to do anything if I cannot get my hardcopy files WAHHhhh....
Decided to cab back home sigh. I told the cabbie I wanted to go to Prinsep Street, he asked me which way I'd prefer. I honestly don't know the roads in Sg, so I said, "The fastest way". ha. After about 15 mins, I found myself going round and round in Raffles Place. LIKE OMGWTFBBQ RAFFLES PLACE ?! That's the equivalent of driving through Jalan Imbi (or whatever I don't know KL roads as well haha) on a Friday evening ok!! The ERP (toll charges) alone were up to $4 already manZZZ...
Me: Why are you going round and round in Raffles Place?! *raising my voice a little*
Cabbie: Uhh.. Miss where do you want to alight?
Me: I want to go to Prinsep Street. Do you know where that is?!
Cabbie: It's around here somewhere right?
Me: NO IT'S NEAR SIMLIM SQUARE *almost screaming*
Cabbie: Ohhh.... *mumbles mumbles* Nevermind I off the meter.
WAH SIEN. I didn't know whether I should pay him or not. By now the charges were up to $16 already plus ERP. Shit. When he finally reached my place, I did the nice thing and asked him how much, and... he said...... $13. OFF THE METER STILL CHARGE ME $13 GO DIE LA. I paid him anyways, I didn't wanna get carted off somewhere and get robbed/raped. Yes I'm paranoid like that. What would you have done guys? =/
The trip back to my office only cost half of that.
Dulan indeed.....

Oh man... I totally went crazy last Friday night, I couldn't remember what happened. And listening to me friends telling me what happened is so painfully embarrassing -_- what's wrong with me *slash wrist.
Haha this picture is so funny! A couple of friends came over because my it was still to early to go back after dinner. My friend helped me clean the top part of my bed because it was just SO disgusting. Like one layer of dust. Hurhur. I know I'm gross =S
Apparently, my boss isn't too proficient with Excel, because they use hardcore stuff like Access and SQL. So whatever I'm doing on Excel now is totally impressing him la. This afternoon I whipped up some simple macro codes and it blew him away. haha. noob.
