hmmm...i think friendster is a powerful tool to get in touch with old buddies/friends...

i first used it when its rave came on...and then i deleted my account..and then i re-started again out of pure boredom...

and out of pure boredom..i've started using friendster again...adding and searching for long lost pals...

woah and i got in touch with this fren of mine from so long ago!!! talked on msn and i was surprised at how we hit it off so well!!! talking rubbish and all...blast from the past...

i love talking to my frens from when i was younger, i feel so at home, so myself...not that i'm not myself around new people i meet but i just feel so at ease when i talk to them esp. those from when i was back in crescent....both guys and gals...

yeay..really glad...i was able to talk to this friend...he changed a lot leh!!! i'm calling him bamboo.

bamboo, if u're reading this blog. remember to give me a makeover!!! it's not fair u're prettier than me...

oh and i'm so glad the good ol' neighbour is coming back...can't wait to joke and goof around with him again...woot! :D




reminiscing the days when i had much longer hair *sob* but i'm still enjoying my short hair :D






let's analyze if i suffer from insomnia shall we?

first let's start with the definition ( i've always been curious about the REAL definition of the word but i've been too lazy to check) :

courtesy of www.dictionary.com

insomnia

inability to obtain sufficient sleep, esp. when chronic; difficulty in falling or staying asleep; sleeplessness.

and because i'm still quite awake i shall check the cambridge dictionary of english that is lying here on my table manually:

insomnia

inability to sleep, over a period of time

ok now that we've got that out of the way let's analyze...

I can sleep (no inability to sleep, i can sleep for 9 hours sometimes even more!), I can obtain sufficient sleep, I do not suffer from sleeplessness and this is not chronic (i don't suffer from this everyday)

I DO however suffer from the inability to fall asleep at "proper" timings like before 12 midnight?

Therefore, technically, i guess i'm not an insomniac.

yeah...




yes!!! ever since sec one...i've been using the hairband...without it i feel weird...i.e. when my hair's short..when it's long i just bun or tie it up...oh but i would need clips! i can't just tie it up with a rubberband i'll need at least one clip and i never ever let my hair down...only at home...to let my scalp rest...

here's some trivia: in sec one n two...the juniors or those who did not noe me wld call me "the white hair band girl" --- so not cool!

anyway...i think i'm going to say goodbye to hairbands...i realise..my hair can still look pretty good without it...i feel more free too! as in no strain/pain on the sides of my head behind the ear...etc.. but usually the hairbands i have dun really give me pain...and also i usually wear hairbands cos i'm lazy to comb my hair properly..etc..anyway...here's a pic of me without the hairband today:



it was daunting at first to step out of the hse those few times without it...but i got used to it...

oh and i think me frens have been dropping me hints to not wear hairbands lol and i've always ignored them cos the thing is the hairband gives me some kind of security..(weird but true)...so heh wanna thank u guys for caring :D

those who are really close to me would know how i love the story of pride and prejudice by Jane Austen.

anyway, i was at my cousins' hse on mother's day and i saw this! :










this song among a few others has been in my head for the past week...i love the oldies...well not all..but most...i think...

If a picture paints a thousand words,
Then why can't I paint you?
The words will never show the you I've come to know.
If a face could launch a thousand ships,
Then where am I to go?
There's no one home but you,
You're all that's left me too.
And when my love for life is running dry,
You come and pour yourself on me.

If a man could be two places at one time,
I'd be with you.
Tomorrow and today, beside you all the way.
If the world should stop revolving spinning slowly down to die,
I'd spend the end with you.
And when the world was through,
Then one by one the stars would all go out,
Then you and I would simply fly away

by Bread




i have absolutely no motivation to study for MGS!!!! help!!! lord please help me!!! give me inspiration...why oh why??!!!!!




for $299 i bought an epiphone acoustic/electric player pack from swee lee. wad great value for money!!! heh..need to thank my cousin, aaron...he told me about it, brought me there to check it out and tested all the stuff out for me :D

i'm so happy~! gonna get started using it soon..after the mgs exam..eew.




i had lots of fun at cafe del mar!

the one person who made the whole partay really memorable for me was a staff at cafe del mar...*claps hands* to honor all the workers at cafe del mar..they were so sweet and nice :D especially the one who came up to me with the first aid kit. I did not even realise i bruised my knee..i was rubbing it subconsciously...and then this staff came by and asked if i needed a plaster...and i looked at my bruise..it was really nothing...if he didn't come, i probably would not have realized it was there until i came home...no plaster was needed but i'm just so touched...whee! i should have taken down his name and write a nice note to the manager..and maybe get him promoted ahahah...i probably got the bruise when i was getting out of the pool...

but of course i had a great time with ma frens too! :D




went bowling yesterday...din get enough sleep the night before..woke up with puffy eyes...someone set the time to meet at 11 am!...anyway...had lunch at jack's place before heading down to a deserted marina south for bowling...


i woke up this morning with my right hand and my left leg sore and aching...

and then after that we went to cut someone's hair at summer de ete

anyway i was so tempted to cut my hair again..just have a change...but seriously there was nothing to cut...i'll just have to grow it out...

then we went over to haato again at my condo to have ice-cream and play scrabble...which was really quite fun! i enjoyed it..it's been a long time since i played scrabble...

and then we went to hog's breath to meet up with my sis and ade...and took privilege of the one for one meal promotion with the UOB card..thanks adeline!! that meal was super filling!!!

ok i need to get ready n head for cafe del mar now...the clock's ticking...*vroom*




exam's not over for me. it should have been! ahh! i could have taken the earlier exam but i thought i might regret and need more time to study since i kinda lost motivation to study for the subject since i already started relaxing right after they announced "no exam" haiz...one more week! all i need to do is to wait one more week..or rather study for a week (as if that would really happen)...heh...

anyway yesterday was sunday and it was mother's day, i went out shopping the whole day with adeline and then my sis joined us and we went to arab street to try shisha, which as you can see from the previous post was a stupid idea, shisha i mean, but not the restaurant. the restaurant's ambiance was fantastic! love it there..

anyway here's what I bought:

-Stila make up set (blusher, 3 eyeshadow, 1 lip gloss) and one gray eye liner

-make up remover and a brush set from body shop

-2 pairs of shoes (one from tinkerbell, one from lemon tee)

-natalie imbruglia's other 2 albums

-and of course the mother's day gift, estee lauder's white linen

i thought i bought a lot more stuff..hmm...am i forgetting something?...

Edit: I remember now, green nail polish ahah...

anyway, i'm supposed to be at marina square at 11am, one hour from now...so i better go get ready...

p.s.: probably start studying on wednesday :)




i pride myself in never taking a cigarette in my life and i unknowingly did something far worse.

Shisha

Medical experts have warned that shisha has a more perilous impact on health compared to cigarette smoking. They say most shisha smokers have a misconception based on a wrongful and unscientific notion that tobacco used in shisha is herbal and does not affect body organs.

Medical experts have also cautioned that one of the hazards of smoking shisha is lung cancer.

"Most people misleadingly believe shisha does not contain tobacco and that when they smoke they inhale herbal products. It is the added flavours that make them feel they are smoking herbs, while they are actually taking in tobacco and are highly likely to become addicted to nicotine. Shisha smokers should realise that it is far more dangerous than cigarette smoking because the amount of nicotine in shisha can not be measured due to packing differences," a doctor in the government sector warned.

Moreover, while smoking hubble-bubble the aluminium foil, which is usually of poor quality, reacts with the burning charcoal and produces aluminium fumes that are carcinogenic or in other words causes cancer, he said.

He clarified that the amount of carbon dioxide inhaled through shisha is very high compared to cigarette smoking, adding that one shisha smoke is equal to seven or 10 cigarettes depending on the packed ingredients.

He stressed shisha smokers should also be aware of the fact that when smoke goes through water humidity in smoke increases and it then tends to stay for a longer time in the lungs. Some germs, mainly bacteria that cause tuberculosis, live in the shisha pipe.

"According to recent studies the pipe could act as a good medium for conveying bacteria causing infectious diseases like Hepatitis A that can be easily transmitted when shisha pipe is used by multiple smokers," apprised the medical expert.

When I think of friendship I think of:

glor, bev and me sharing a packet of ice-lemon tea with our straws during recess

glor and bev waiting outside the classroom for me to pack my things so that we can go for recess

glor and bev calling me a snail for not packing my things fast enough.

wanxin making that bottle of stars for my birthday

yinvonne helping me sort out my books and putting them into my locker so that my bag would not look so big

grace and lynn helping me out with the mishap after watching the sixth sense

grace lending me money so i can buy that mango wallet

grace shopping around for rings with me

xinxi teaching me to play the guitar and meeting me when i call

adeline watching movies and chatting with me about almost everything

Jo helping me out with that misunderstanding

When I think of friendship, I think about how easily it can be lost and how I have to seize it and not destroy it.
