FULL Week...

...not just with exams but alot of food, movies, people and packing up as well...

Too tired to say much.. so let the photolog do its job..

::Vivo with my SW babes::

Took a break in the midst of my papers (after my evening commty-based paper technically) and had dinner at Vivo's Marche's with von, samantha and her bf. It was an impromptu decision.. and having no place in mind particularly, we decided to go to Vivo's to see what they have.. and then decided on Marche's. The last time i had Marche's was in JC, so the refreshing variety of foods displayed in front of me was an appealing sight.. all the breads, pasta, potatoes and pretty desserts.. I wanted to eat them all!! And it did alot to whet my appetite.. kinda lost my appetite in the midst of preparations of exams.. which is a first for me. We shared dishes amongst us 4 but all were too tired to take pics, plus no one brought a digicam. Hope to go back again sooooon.. thinking about the food now again is making me salivate again.. haha.

The only pic i had from the impromptu dinner was a picture of the enormous X'mas tree on the children's play area/the chillout area overseeing Harbourfront.



Pretty?? I love the lettering of the words but my hp camera doesn't do it justice. I told my cousin i wanted to buy a snowman for X'mas like grace did too, and she just ignored me. In any case, she is not even spending X'mas in Singapore this year hahaha.. no point in my snowman too..

After my hectic week of 3 papers...

::Dinner out with a SW bunch of ppl::


the poly-grads bunch.. though i wasn't from poly, i am also going to graduate at the end of this semester as they do.. Alot of nolstagic pondering.. What i find heartwarming and fuzzy about this dinner is that though they are not the usual bunch of people i hang out with, we could just click.. it is the SW spirit i swear.. the community-homey feel about being in this major.. I never experience anythg like this in Lit or Soci i swear..

We headed to Fong Seng (prata place outside the school, behind Arts Fac) for dinner, as Chan Min said she doesn't want to graduate without having eaten Fong Seng (well-known with NUS Arts ppl particularly) once. Haha.

ALOT of camwhoring...


Li Ling was the only one who realised i was sneaking a pic.. she said she is very camera-sensitive..


Chan Min and Diana "sticking" against the wall to fit into camera lens.


With Grace (not healing balm grace haha) and Xiuwen.. Do you know these 2 girls are very "zhi(4) lian(4)'? When we started bluetoothing the pics to each other, "Princess Grace" and "Wen Wen Gong(1) Zhu(2)" appeared on my list of bluetooth nicks.. I almost died-ed.. reminds me of a certain someone really.. her name is von hahaha..


Chan Min took an unflattering photo of me when i was writing autograph for Diana.. I look so retarded!! haha.. Talking about autographs.. manz.. i must 'kowtow' to Diana... The last time i wrote one was in Sec 4.. haha.


Happy bunch though the food sux really.. haha.. but the company's what counts.


With Chan Min.. she's the camwhorer of the night really. Walking around the table taking individual shots with everyone. We started laughing at her at a point in time and asked if she's taking pictures on her wedding day.. flitting from guest to guest.

Our camwhoring continues on the bus...

This is one hilarious picture.. Haha.. At the very last moment, i decided my hair was messy and moved to tidy it when li-ling clicked on the button. Funny thing is Diana had her head leaning towards where my head was sposed to be for the picture. hahaha..


Phyllisa joined us!
I have this huge zit on my chin that appears on every pic la! *wails* Even hp cameras which dun show your flaws so much and my concealer (time for new concealer! bought my perfect ettusias on sat. it has medicating powers for acne too!! Highly recommended!!) can't hide it!! Stupid exam-cum-period stress!!!


With Li Ling.. although she complained of tired-ness (had 2 papers that day poor gal) and was already stoning in the midst of camwhoring in Fong Seng. But she still requested to take pic with me.. aww.. touched.

When you bond, time is not the issue really... I hope the holiday plans of meet-ups and outings i made with them and my sw clique come through during the Dec hols manz..

::My Day Out alone::

I decided to take a day out myself to relax on Friday, after the crazy week. Decided to watch 2 movies all by myself. One reason was most of my babes are still preparing for papers on Monday so can't ask them.. (i only had one left on the following Friday) The most impt reason is i really miss my alone-time and the fact that when i watch movies myself, i dun have to compromise on movies!! i can just watch what i like. This is also topped with the fact that i have postponed watching these 2 particular ones till after at least my crazy week is over. So yupz, good break all round=)

##Lust, Caution##

I kinda regretted watching the R21 version of "Lust, Caution". Haiz. Besides the fact that the theatre was filled with old, sleazy and desperate uncles and aunties who are so obviously there to see porn, specifically Tony Leung's balls, (i think i am the youngest in the theatre lor), I seriously dun even get the sex scenes at all. I find them quite disturbing in fact. Reason why i wanna re-watch is that i heard the sexual scenes built to some kind of climax, and i wanna see how Wang Jiazhi's decision in the end was affected by the build-up, which wasn't shown in the censored version. There was this heart-splitting moment when she spilled out her emotions to the spy leader and i wanna see what leads up to that--her hesitations and inner conflicts. But maybe i just can't appreciate the sex scenes at all. But i do admire Lee Ang's artistic direction. I love the setting of 1942 Shanghai, and the classy elegance of Mrs Mak in her beret and overcoat and alluring cheongsams.. sigggghhh... Now why doesn't Singapore have cold enough weather to warrant that kind of dressing?



See how classy and timeless her dressing is??? I couldn't stop gushing about them to gracie hahahaa..

**Stardust**


Loved it!!! Particularly how Yvaine keeps glowing like a star when she is happy.. she sooo cannot hide her emotions lor.. Now why can't I glow like a star when i'm happy too instead of turning red?? Red is soo not a nice colour.. And I loved how she'll keep going, "What does a star do? It shines!" The love story is refreshing, with a stellar cast.. Just leaves me with a happy, fuzzy feeling.

::Chillout with Gracie::

Had a nice relaxing Sat with my healing balm watching a heartwarmingly sweet movie and having BK's ultra-soft crossaint-wich for breakfast and dim sum for lunch.. Can feel my appetite coming back le.. grinz. Just a good chillout time in the midst of papers.. the poor babe has 6 exams.. she starts and ends same time as me though. Happie to go through the last lap of academics with my healing balm.=)

~*~Enchanted~*~



Giselle is just sooo surreal... and her dresses are to-die-for too!! I can't get over how she'll just cut out the dresses from whatever cloth's available--curtains... carpets.. And Patrick Dempsey's reactions everytime he sees his coverings cut up... Hahahaa... She is my childhood dream really. Movie left us in stitches, screaming in laughter. Light-hearted candy for a exam period=)=)=)

::Packing and painting over the weekend::

My sisters are having their personal rooms revamped and this week was removing of furniture fixtures so my pa could start painting the room.. This is Ying's room, painted in some sunny peachy colour.. my Pa is a wonderful painter. He complained no one helped him, but being perfectionistic, he thinks he still does it best. My sisters and i took a few fun rolls with the paint sponge, under his critical eye, but that's all. But yeah, my pa's da best!


Took a pic of my parents and feng standing in the middle of the room while my dad fixed the lamp back. Yeah, Ying can look forward to a new room when she comes home from work tonight.

I am looking forward to furniture shopping with my darlin' sisters after the exams.. Looking out for a display case(s) for my Sylvanians too. Any recommendations? I have been looking through catalogs but no suitable ones.


The mess in my parents' living room. I did my share of work by packing my own stuff to bring over to my cousin's. Yay! got 2 rooms in my cousin's again. The study is once again vacated, so i have moved all my study stuff and electronic stuff and toys back, so my bedroom is emptier. She's so sweet to me. Hee.

Should go sleep to prep for consultation tmr.. ermz.. ya still got one more exam on friday.
