Woohooo

No more sleepless nights for now. And appearing offline. This whole week i feel like i have been mugging nonstop, i kinda did. So one paper down today. Shall relax a bit...
Tmr im gng to get 3 jabs: Typhoid, Tetanus and Flu for the india trip. Ouch man ouch. I'm so dreading it. And when I'm back my dad wants me to get the anti-cervical jab. Apparently u got to get it before you have * for it to be useful. Its a series of jabs somemore. So this short period im gng to get jabbed many many times.

This is Sean kingston?!?!? I never knew. My first impression : OMG So fat? Lol. This is so not cool. Anw, still love his songs.

Each time i go orchard or some shopping place, i realise i blow at least a hundred bucks. Today confirmed it. Not proud of it. Its bad but just cannot resist. Which explains...

Hoho! Ytd i got my dad to increase my monthly allowance. (Rmb i mentioned tt i cant even get by with the current allowance if it wasnt for the tuitions. BUT tuition money is for my own keep, allowance is allowance. I insist!) I was waiting for the right moment and mastering all courage. And you know what! He actually replied 'Huh.. i was telling my friends that i only give you $* amount and the rest you earn from tuition.' I was like WHAT! So he knew he wasnt giving alot! Keep quiet somemore and show off to his friends. And i actually thought tt my allowance was high. What a joke! So i told him 'Ok uh start from next month...'. After a while he told me the extra cash is in my bank already, this month's. Haha he's like that. Anw my friends accused me of ordering my parents around but added 'What to do.. she's the only one here now'. Wahaha. But thats not the point la.. i miss my bro and often lay on bed wishing he was around and be able to chat about daily stuff with him. Like complaint about stuff(like our parents. so now i complain about my dad to my mum, and complain abt my dad to my mum. lol!! depending on the situaiton) and gossip about our daily lives. You need someone of the same era. You cant do that with your parents. They'll never understand. So i channel my energy and write them here? Hmm kinda. Haha

Tour packages and air tickets are so hard to book! You'll be surprised how fast the deals get snapped up. Anw my trip to India is confirmed. 17-30dec. My parents are gng to Vietnam. While they were booking their package I kept calling to ask what the available dates. ' Let me know the dates so I can see if I'll be home alone not heheh'. If so, I get the whole hse to myself and the car too!!! How awesome is tt. Hahaha. I'm thinking of having a crazy house party. W alcohol n blasting music. Hahah. Dim the lights n we can dance in the living room. Invite diff grps of ppl. Get everyone damn high so it won't be awkward. N we all can just have fun like we're in a club. Hahahahah. BUT sad to say, my parents will be in vietnam during my trip, back before me. So... hmmmm we'll see how it goes! I'm still determined to have one house party.
U guys should watch Suburban Girl(2007). The title makes it sound like a chick flick but it really isnt. It's chic and classic!
I realise my blog posts have been really wordy with no visual enhancements. This is since i have started uploading pic from my phone on fb. Its so much more convenient. Anw, for a change....

I seriously cant wait for the holidays to come. One of a kind trip to India. Yet another sem over, and cheng coming back! But sadly the trip to india will take up most of my holiday. But yea the next 2 weeks will be reserved for you. Like you said, SHOP EAT MOVIES SLEEPOVER CLUB.

And my bro's 21st is coming!! Got to shop for a good present with parents. When i first mentioned about getting a present for him, my dad actually told me not to be overly sentimental. I totally blasted ok. I feel bad for him that he cant spend his 21st here with all his friends and loved ones. Even though he once said he doesnt want a big party, prefers to keep things simple. On this point, we're different. I enjoy playing host and the big parties. haha

Got air but no con

Huh? My dad said tt. Does it even make sense? Lolll

I take back what I said ytd. The weather is bad. So bad I can't function normally. Can't study well. My dad said 'how to slp tonight?'. I wonder. I hate waking up in the middle of the night feeling sticky and sweaty. I'm calling the aircon serviceman tmr and make sure they come
before night falls again....! I try.

I just blogged from my phone cuz I refuse to return my room, tt enclosed area without aircon, even with fan it's still hots!

I might be sleeping in the living room tonight. Serious.
PAPA MY AIRCON VERY HOT!!

I budged into my parents room 1.30am complaining such.

Hooked on the computer surfing facebook for hours (bad bad bad!), i noticed the room not being cool enough. Thinking its the aircon and its eccentricity, the temperature and coolness varies sometimes, i tap the controller twice to lower the temperature by 2 degrees. Minutes later, possibly hours, i got distracted from the com by the unchilled room. This time i stepped up to feel the air blowing out from the aircon. Freak! Its warm hot blowing! Aircon use too much gas run out or whattttt.... But a higher possibility of a gas leakage.
Can not live w/o aircon! Lucky the weather these days isnt too bad. I rmb there are times when u step out of the room and u start sweating. My mum seconds that. Sometimes i switch on both fan and aircon simultaneously to chill the room quick quick quick due to the unbearable heat. My mum seconds that too. She switches on both, the fan and aircon, in the study room, alone, just to iron clothes. HA! Worse than me... I try to avoid switching on the aircon in the afternoons but the nights are a must. Weekends afternoons, when im studying, my dad likes to interrupt me by asking me to on the aircon since its hot. He does not do so when I'm doing sth else other than studying. He loves me much much when im studying. He shows his concern by encouraging me to on the aircon. He is no better....
Hahahah

Can my friends blog more often! You guys entertain yourselves by reading my blog. I have to entertain myself by.... writing my own blog. rah!
Been in a chirpy mood this saturday. At 2am, i feel like dancing and singing!

HOT YOGA

I went for my first yoga session with michelle today at True Yoga, Taka.
It was HOT indeed! The instructor was so hot! The room was steaming hot! The ladies were all so hot too it made us feel fat. And i was sweaty hot!
To think that i initially thought hot yoga meant lots of movement like aerobics or sth. Its actually literally hot. The room had rows of heaters.
And yes it was a good workout. We almost died during the session. Muscles shaking. Sweat buckets. In one position where we had to bend over, i couldnt open my eyes cuz the sweat was dripping all over. I also noticed a sweat drop forming on my KNEE CAP! hahahaa.
I'm rather interested in signing up for some sort of package in the future when i start working. At least looking all the those slim ladies will motivate me to watch my diet even more. And the bathing facilities are so clean i've never felt so clean bathing in public before. Thumbs up to everything!
Its yoga week!

P.S. I was having my mense but didnt want it to get in the way. So i popped a menstrual pill and wore tampon. wahaha. Can u imagine doing all sorts of yoga positions whilst wearing a pad? YUCKS!

Do you know what Martha Steward was charged for insider trading before? Hmmm I had a positive image of her all this while.

My little tuition 'business' just expanded. Haha. Firstly i increased fees for going on to the next level. And got introduced to more students through my current one. This is awesome! Coupled with the fact that next sem i'll only have 2 hours of lectures in sch (LOL RIGHT). The rest are online courses. Giving them a short break since their exams are over, with the money not coming in, i feel poorer. This is due to the fact that i realise that the amount i spend each month is more than my allowance! Or very near that figure. Which sounds very wrong cuz i have been saving money every month since young. See i'm a saver you know hahahaha. So tuition money is good money. And psst... money not that difficult to earn, your parents have been lying to you. Hahahahhaa. Cocky alr

Today i was totally moody while walking ard vivo, shopping for yet another camera. My previous one barely last me a year? And the one before also died in my hands. I'm normally a happy shopper lol. But today i was just frowning at the camera roadshow, going rounds and rounds, looking for the best deal. I even considered not getting it but nah i cant survive without one. Memories are worth much more than that stupid couple of hundreds! Right! I even called my dad to consult him on whether i shld get it. Since when do i consult my parents when i shop right? lol. You'll see why later...So anw i got this olympus one. The lense is in-built, meaning it doesnt protude out when you on it. They say it wouldnt spoil as easily, in case i drop it again. So when i got home, showed dad. He asked 'Which card did u use?'. 'My OWN card LA'. 'Ok, put the receipt on my table i will transfer you the money'. NOW YOU KNOW WHY I CALLED. Haha. i think i played a bit of mind game there. Evil phua. 'YES i was waiting for that, i wanted to use ur card but didnt dare. Hhahah thanks man, love you'.
---------------------
No thailand, no USA, no vietnam. Was pissed with all the cancellations initially. But now i have INDIA! GO INDIA! hahaha. How awesome is tt. Not the usual, its exotic.
This time its quite confirmed. Going there abt 16 - 30 dec? 2 weeks is good. India with 2 of my indian friends! From mumbai and delhi. To dehli with - Malhotra, then Mumbai with - Clement. Their last names speaks quite a bit yea. K. Clement is an Indian from India, but she cant speak Hindi! Only english. Haha i just find that fascinating. She's a catholic and inviting me and xl to stay till Xmas. They celebrate it there in different culture. Cool. But guys, i shld still be holding a post xmas/ countdown party at my place when im back. They have like cooks and chauffeurs over there! @.@! How awesome is that. Today I was discussing with Kim about flying to delhi first, and she mentioned 'No worries, when u guys are there, her dad will probably put u guys up in a posh hotel'. My eyes were glimmering..haha. Visiting the Taj Mahal, Goa (?) etc. We haven started planning. Oh! And kim's bf's parents are hosting a 25th wedding anniversary party. Apparently its a major event for them and its going to be big BIG. Like 300+ guests. I can totally imagine it, like those we see on tv haha. And yes, definitely not missing it... They have parties all the time.
This is perfect!

My mini rebellion

I told my dad about my tentative trip to the US in the end yr.
He initially didnt say much.
Then, i had to add (which put myself in a bad position) 'You got money, dont want to spend, i help you spend'
He got pissed 'You better dont anyhow spend money'
Then, mum adds on and blah blah blah...
------------------------
I'm think of sending in a picture of my living room to [My Space], this column on the Sunday times which features nice apartments. Haha. So i told my parents abt it and they were like 'dont want la'. Mayb i will, someday. Haha. Without them knowing, then they just have to take it from there haha.

OK before i finished composing this post, the US trip had to be cancelled cuz i shld be gng on a family trip to vietnam. With the cousins etc. Awesome too!

Hotel Motel Holiday Inn

Look at my navy straw hat yo!

Had fun with matilda in school today. We were high on club songs. 'HOTEL, MOTEL...' & 'Even if the sky is falling down.. DOWN.. DOWN..' and shaking to it. But, no more clubbing till Ub pageant. No halloween,no random clubbing. Till 14 nov then!
I'm staring at numerous windows of stock prices. Like those uncles u see at raffles place staring at big screens. Actually i dont know what im doing. I have to turn $100,00 into $500,00 by the end of the course for bonus points. Taking advantage of the flaw in stocksquest system. Hmmm... I'll figure it out. Kinda interesting...
The one thing i dislike about apple is the sync in the itunes. Confusing and troublesome. I dont know where my files are from and error appears when i shift them. Bought a metallic red phone backcover. Is loving it! Steep pricing, 59bucks. I pondered for a while... There was this other red one retailing at 39 but not as nice. But i was thinking, the point is to get what you like, not about the price. So just whack! As long as you like it... I seldom make mistakes in buying things now. haha.
Darn. I need to spend more money again.. on prolly a new camera. The current is spoilt. Again. My bad. My cameras dont seem to last under me. Shld i invest in a good one again or not....tsk.
