I've got nothing to do, so I decided to try this thing out... =)

Instructions: Go to your music player of choice and put it on shuffle. Say the following questions aloud, and press play. Use the song title as the answer to the question. NO CHEATING.

How does the world see me?
Britney Spears- Bombastic Love

Hmm... I bring excitement and drama in their lives? Ah.. that sounds nice...

Will I have a happy life?
Faye Wong- Tian Kong

Is it trying to say the sky's the limit? Well I shall take it as a good sign!

What do my friends really think of me?
Tina Turner- He Lives in You

Well... taken in the religious point of view, it's kinda blasphemous, isn't it? But kinda flattering...

Do people secretly lust after me?
98 Degrees- I Do (Cherish You)

Ooh.. I like the sound of this! ;)

How can I make myself happy?
Shi Xin Huey- Gan Xie Ni Yong Xin Ai Zhe Wo

Hmm.. I should be thankful for the love I've been given... Good advice. I shall remember that.

What should I do with my life?
Tokyo Kosei Wind Orchestra- Japanese Graffitti III

Well.. I don't quite know what to think of this, actually. Does it mean I should go explore many areas of life? Or does it mean I should go the artistic route (?!?!) Or does it mean I should just waste my life away...? The song sounds cheerful, so I shall make myself happy and reaffirm my identity as a human being by thinking of myself as a good person. I shall choose the first reason. Muahahahaha!

Will I ever have children?
Vic Zhou- Wei He Ni Bu Lai

This is sad, man...

What is some good advice for me?
98 Degrees- The Hardest Thing

It's hard to give me good advice...?

How will I be remembered?
Lisa Ono- So Danco Samba

Ahhh.. As a person who likes to dance? Or as a person who enjoys life? Anyone knows the meaning of this title or song?

What is my signature dancing song?
Britney Spears- I’ll Never Stop Loving You

Reflects the romantic notions I often have I guess... =)

What do I think my current theme song is?
Joe Hisaishi- Kaze No Oka

I don't understand this title. Can someone tell me the meaning of this title?!

What does everyone else think my current theme song is?
Maksim Mrvica- Dance of the Baroness

Ah... I'm majestic?!

What song will play at my funeral?
Robbie Williams- Come Undone

Well that's rather true isn't it?

What type of men do I like?
Ni He Wo He Ta Zhi Jian

Love triangle?!

What is my day going to be like?
Britney Spears- Overprotected

Hmm....

Dong Dong Dong!

"Dong Dong Dong, 1,2,3... Kuishin-Bo..."

Muahaha wonderful wonderful dinner after a long long wait to have Kuishin-Bo!! We were supposed to go there in March, but because the people there don't pick up the phone, we didn't manage to go there in the end. HOWEVER, on Sunday, we walked up there and BOOKED it for tonight! YES!!

Kuishin-Bo is a worthwhile place to go. The sashimi's great, the ALASKAN SNOW CRAB is GREAT, and the chilled prawns too. The sushi flavours are interesting- Salmon with Avocado. And at sporadic moments, there will be "Dong Don Dong...!!!" which means the restaurant's special giveaways like Mochi Ice cream or lobster put with some type of sauce. Look at the pictures and u'll know! =D


THIS is the Alaskan Snow Crab. There was ALOT of meat inside I guarantee you. Just look at this plate. It took about 15 min to finish this whole plate, even though it looks like there's only a bit there? If you're wondering if the crab's fresh, yes, it definitely is. Can you imagine what the WHOLE crab would look like? ;)







And here's the overall picture of the paper steamboat. Don't be alarmed when you learn of the Japanese name for it. It's Kami Nabe (pronounced as ka-mi na-beh). So be careful to look at the person's mouth when hearing the pronunciation! =)















And this is what's inside the steamboat. This is chicken flavour, and there's another one, beef flavour. We only managed to have one though, and I'm gonna order that the next time we go. Yes, you heard it right- next time. The soup's great! The meat's chewy, hmm... but I didn't get to try the rest of it. I was too slow!!







And here's one of the specials; the first one, in fact- lobster and shrimp and cream sauce. Ooh lala, fantastique! Later on there were Mochi Ice creams, candy floss, lobster with black pepper sauce and some more, but I was too busy eating to take pictures. Haha!!!








Ok and here's what our table looked like at our last round of the buffet. Von! We're waiting for you! =)











Oh yah, Von, Mummy asked me to take this picture to show you. I also don't know why, but I think it's something along the lines of what you would have done when faced with unfinished food and thinking of a way to hide it. =) For the rest of you, well, the base is actually strawberry pudding, topped with one white and one black tart wrapper and an orange peel. The toppings actually serve to hide the base.





Yes, and see my blissful face?













Yi Lun looks like that 'cause she was enjoying her cafe latte (they said it was nice, by the way) and I disturbed her by asking her to take photo.










Von, this picture is for you! Papa purposely posed for you one!!! =D He's holding a dragon-fruit, and doesn't he look handsome?











Yep, and this is the end of my Kuishin-Bo experience. To quote my Primary one recommended composition ending, "We are happy."

"Dong Dong Dong, 1,2,3... Kuishin-Bo!"

Sushi Buffet!

I was surfing the Sakae Sushi website last night when I came across this:























Really tempted to try it out, but the flip side is that there'll be no transport, so it means I might have to go with my parents, who are, unfortunately, not sushi enthusiasts. Well, Tay Yi Fang! I'm counting on you! When you come back we shall try the supper buffet together k? Then papa and mummy won't be likely to say no! ;)

Well, on the normal side of the sushi buffet...


These are the teatime, lunch and dinner buffets offered by Sakae Sushi. Interesting, eh? I always thought Sakae Sushi only has teatime buffet. Ah well, I've been enlightened. Anyway, anyone knows where OUB centre is? =)

I can't wait for our sushi buffet!!! =D

Yep, and since I have nothing better to write in my blog, I shall complete Tay Ah Fang's chain tag.

Me, Myself and I

from Lina's blog

Maybe I should just scream in the middle of Orchard Road during lunch time one day.

I love puns. They are so clever!

I don't understand why Schnoozee refuses to pee on newspapers. Oh, and I don't understand people too.

I lose my things easily, because I'm usually distracted.

People say I look like a carbon copy of my father. But I think I'm looking more like my mother as I grow up.

Love is when your puppy runs up to you when you come home even when he has been ignored the whole day. I really love that quote =)

Somewhere, someone is waiting for us.

I will always love you only happens when you find The One.

Forever is when you don't have anymore regrets in life.

I never want my family to become estranged.

I think the current US President should chew his pretzels more carefully.

When I wake up in the morning I wish it was still night.

My past was too sheltered.

I get annoyed when I lose my things.

Parties are for mingling.

My dog is so adorable you wanna bite him and keep his eyes.

My cat is non-existent. I hate cats.

Kisses are the best when they're sincere.

Tomorrow, I'm going to look for the gourmetclub publication by SMU. Anyone has any friends from SMU?

I really want to laze everyday away just like now.

I have low tolerance for people who treat others like they are ignorant or stupid.

Post-Exam

Evon was right. The maximum number of movies I can humanly watch in a day is TWO. Pathetic, isn't it? Just watching two already made my eyes wanna drop. Of course, it's two movies and a few hours of tv. Haha, I love this decadent lifestyle, and I can soooo get used to it. It just makes me not want to go look for a job or something to do this hols, and just stay home, read books, watch tv, go out... basically just rot at home. Oh man... Is this the nature of an introvert, or a lazy bum? I suspect both.

Today's polling day, and results are due to be out "in a short while", as mentioned repeatedly by the reporters since 10pm. I've decided not to wait. The wait's until 2am for goodness' sake! Well, the latest news is that PAP has won Yio Chu Kang, but lost Hougang to Workers' Party. Hmm, at least it wasn't lost to SDP. As Alvin (my cousin) says, "PAP will win, it's just a matter of how many oppositions will win". Yep, and that's rather a worry, isn't it? Hehe, just call me a PAP supporter. Do you think Parliament will turn out to be rather Taiwan-esque? Haha, that will be something we'll know soon enough.

Anyway, politics is something I'm not good at analyzing about, so we shall stop there before I say something that's offensive. I can't afford legal fees.

So. End of exams, 1 month of worry for results, 3 months of freedom. What to do?

Oh, and Evon: I'm not gonna do the chain thing. I can't think of any smart-ass answers like u do. =)

Something to make you smile and hopefully laugh!

Haha! I read this on Live Journal just now... Enjoy!

Generativity vs Stagnation and Other Thoughts...

You know, reading about Erikson's life stage for middle adulthood makes me think that Hitler, Stalin and other famous people in history should be proud that they managed to maneuver their 'crises' to become generative in mid-life.

The 7th stage of Erikson's life stages theory, Generativity vs Stagnation, says that "generativity encompasses adults' desire to leave legacies of themselves to the next generation"(Peterson, 2002). On the other hand, stagnation happens when individuals sense that they have done nothing for the next generation. Hitler has certainly left a legacy behind, and who says he hasn't left behind valuable lessons for us?

1) League of Nations was a failure, without the co-operation of the superpowers of the world (US and Britain) (As a sidenote, don't you think this sounds incredibly reminiscent of a particularly significant event in 2002?). Anyway, from the League of Nations grew the United Nations, which learnt from the mistakes made by their predecessor (?).

2) The world of politics is DIRTY. Hitler and Stalin could play this game well I'll admit... Imagine, each agreeing with the other on what they want from the other, but all the while planning attacks.

3) And who has forgotten the extermination of 2 million (or was it more?) Jews in WWII?

Hitler has immortalised himself, all right. Ok, so to pinpoint Hitler in this post seems unfair, coz the whole History thing has more than one players, and of course, we are forgetting the roles played by heroes, like... Mother Teresa, Ghandhi (though I know some feel it's debatable whether he's actually a hero) etc. I'm just feeling a tad bitchy today, so humour me, ya? ;)

Oh, yes, if you look at it from another perspective, we could probably also say Hitler was stagnated (self-absorbed). He didn't contribute anything to the next generations except horror. So, yah, I guess you could say Hitler was stagnated. But to be fair to him, he wanted to restore Germany's pride, and restore his homeland, so to a certain extent he probably wasn't very self-absorbed. Ah well, I still stand by my first opinion that he's generative. =)

Ahh.. and I realise I can probably never manage to become a great psychologist who practices what she preaches, coz I have gotta face reality. I can't always look at the situations when making attributions to behaviour. I'm a victim of the Fundamental Attribution Error! *GASP*

The Fundamental Attribution Error (FAE) is the tendency for observers to overestimate a person's behaviour as his/her disposition, and neglect the situational causes of that behaviour. Let's say we see this father smacking his daughter in a shopping centre. The first thought we have might be that the father is cruel, and neglect the possibility that his daughter was probably making a ruckus a while ago.

I realised that if one always takes into account the situational factors before getting angry or making judgments, that person must be a truly understanding person who never ever gets angry, because that person would be able to understand that the actor's behaviour may not be his intention. OK, some of you may be thinking, if there is a consistency to this person's behaviour and a lack of distinctiveness in the types of situation this behaviour is exhibited, we probably have a right to get angry. Well, I would not disagree with you, but I think somehow the observer's anger may be attenuated?

I don't think I can be as understanding and as good-tempered as that. Much as I would want to be, and try hard to be, sometimes I just don't wanna look at the situational factors. Sometimes the same behaviour may occur again and again, to make it seem far-fetched that the situation is causing it. Though I said before that the observer's anger may be attenuated, I think I'd feel even more frustrated at that, because I think I'm justified in feeling that anger or frustration. BUT, to be really angry or frustrated, wouldn't I be spoiling my own self-concept as a good, understanding person? Ahh... and now here comes cognitive dissonance, as I try to justify my anger, and if my self-justification goes in the selfish direction, I probably would carry on in my way of thinking that the person is always wrong.

Oh, and all these are hypothetical, of course, in case you're wondering.

And in hindsight, I realise that this entry may seem rather illogical and I may have gotten my concepts wrong. Haha... Somehow I had it straight in my head, but once I typed it out they seem to have gone a funny way..... =S

Scary!!!

Yi Lun just told me this ghost story. I felt it was too exciting to keep to myself, so I shall blog about it.

There was this security guard and his partner working in this office building. They were supposed to patrol the grounds after the office building closed. This security guard kept seeing something white at the corner of his eye. At first he thought it was his imagination coz it was after working hours, and the office building was empty except for the 2 of them. However, he soon became bothered by this 'vision'. He asked his friend if there was anything beside him. The friend said no. So he thought he was just tired and decided to go wash his face. In the toilet, he looked into the mirror. There was something at the corner of his eye.

























A rice grain.

Exam Sleepiness

Exams are coming in 2 weeks!! Oh man... And I'm behind in my revision. So many chapters unread, and heard we're gonna need more than luck for Social Psychology! =S Scary...

I feel a sense of relief, though, that the projects are done, and they seem to have been done rather satisfactorily. I hope. Based on the presentation last week, I would say our content's fine. Now it's the content of the portfolio....

I think it's the stress that's slowly building that's making me feel so sleepy these days. No matter how much sleep I get, it's still not enough. My eyes still want to close! It was like that during mid-sem when I was studying for the HP101 test. I just felt like sleeping and sleeping. Ah well, after the exams I'm gonna find one day to sleep the day away!! =) Man am I looking forward to that. *satisfied grin*

You know, I should have read Psychology stuff before my A-level GP paper. Seriously, there's so much info about prejudice, groupthink, etc etc, wonderful GP stuff. Too bad each time I tell Evon and Yi Lun about it, they are too busy to read it. To be expected, I guess. Year 2's a busy busy year. Haha, I doubt I'd have paid much attention to it until the last minute too...

Anyway, I'm going back to the land of mugging....

The Light is Appearing... Sooooon..

At long last, after this week is over, I can heave a sigh of relief. CS814 will be handed in tomorrow, and one more project down, one more to go. I can't wait. It's like this pressure cooker in me man...

Anyway, I think I haven't done much for HP203, so after tomorrow, I shall devote my attention to it! And then, we shall go back to the books. I haven't opened my textbooks since last week. Man I'm so way behind in my revision.

Thanks Si Huan for being so efficient with HP203 and doing so much, and covering our butts when we were doing CS814. I shall give all my attention to it this week! =) I think without that girl ah, our group would be rather behind time. Hopefully, after this, she can have enough rest... If anyone's having a bigger pressure cooker inside them, I think it's her. Hey, I hope you don't mind me talking about you here!!

Haha, so it's in a light hearted mood that I'm typing here, and I gotta go to sleep already, since I'm gonna have 8 hours of sleep, starting now....

PMS

I hate it. Never took notice of it, but this time it was practically staring me in the face that I just had to notice it.

It's been a maelstrom of emotional upheaval this week, mostly with me getting moody and irritated with no apparent reason. I don't even know why I got irritated. Sheesh. It's a bad feeling... bad bad bad... And I find it hard to tolerate myself, much less my family. Wonder how they could stand me without getting fed up this week. Even I'm disgusted with myself.

Ahh.. the beginning of a new week. Let's just hope the stupid moodswings won't start. School's soooo not the place to have moodswings and be irritable. I don't wanna get all moody and then affect the others.

Wish me luck!

One Down, Two More to Go!

Yay! Another project finished! Another load off our shoulders! Now it's down to CS814 and HP203. Not that worried bout HP203 though, cos that one still has 2 more weeks to its due that. But I'm worried bout CS814. Technically it's due in 2 weeks' time as well, but it's due on MONDAY. Yep, so in actual fact, we have a week to do it. I know we should start on it this week, but HP202 just ended today!! And I'm going out of school tomorrow, and won't be back on Thursday. Please please please don't ask me to come back on Thursday!

Luckily, Dr Ang thought our presentation was fine. When I read her guidelines yesterday, I was quite worried, and wondered if our group had actually followed what she wanted. Thank goodness it was fine! Haha, I think this project couldn't have been completed so efficiently (seriously! We rushed through it from last week to yesterday! It was only 2 days you know, excluding the weekend). I still think this group is a GREAT group where everyone tries and DOES do their part without ever complaining about their load. I like it that everyone tries to help everyone. =) Hmm... hopefully next Academic Year we can consider being in the same tutorial groups again? What do you think? ;)

Anyway, I have to go back to doing my tutorial. Take care! =D

Concert in NTU

So exciting! Zhang Shao Han is coming to NTU for a concert! Hope I can get tickets though, otherwise it'll be so disappointing! I quite like her songs, so I hope to see her live!

Hmm... I wouldn't mind if Guang Liang came to NTU too.. I'd love to hear him sing Tong Hua live too... Why is it that only Chinese singers come here to hold their concert? What happened to the English singers?!

Asked Yi Lun and Angel to come along too. Think they might like to come along, especially Angel, who loves this sort of events. She's quite poor thing lah, actually, whole day stay at home... Not that she works on her English particularly hard when she's at home. In fact, I think she hardly touches her English stuff. There's no motivation within her to want to do well for the subject. Doesn't she realise her family's counting on her to get into a local school so that they can do their business here?! Ah well... Hopefully one day it'll finally click in her and she'll work harder. She only watches tv at home!! If she watches tv and learns her English from the subtitles it's ok. But I have a feeling she hardly even glances at it. Anyone has any idea how to motivate her?

Results...

Just as I predicted in my last post, now I am kicking myself for not making use of the time. Read my textbook a second time when I should BLOODY WELL have been reading my lecture notes. Crap. Lost stupid marks for that stupid experiment. Who the hell (except those who read the lecture notes of course, and I'm not blaming them) would come up with such STUPID experiments like testing whether people would find BLARDY pictures the BLARDY funniest with a BLARDY pen in the mouth?! Or maybe it's just me who was STUPID enough to not read the lecture notes lar. Ah well. I'm pissed with myself.

Well. Decided not to put CS814 under S/U option, so according to the cognitive dissonance theory in Social Psych, I'm supposed to be experiencing cognitive dissonance, which will make me justify internally why I didn't put CS814 under the S/U option, since I didn't have much confidence in doing well for it in the first place. I do hope it sets in, 'cos I need the internal justification and the subsequent confidence to boost my confidence in the subject. For those who dunno what I'm talking about, lemme explain what I mean.

In the first place, I didn't have much confidence in CS814, a module I've been doing as an elective. Then, there's this S/U option available to us, where we can S/U the modules which we are not confident of doing well in. So, now the logical thing is to place this CS814 under the option, and everything will be fine and dandy right? Well, I decided to do the opposite. Which means I decided to take the risk of not doing well for the subject. Yep. So that raises what we call the cognitive dissonance within me. As in, a psychological discomfort inside my mind. It's uncomfortable in the sense that I'll keep wondering if I did the right thing, what the consequences will be if I do badly, that kind of thing? Therefore, I'll try to justify to myself why I did what I did to try to make myself feel better. Since there was no external justification like reassurance from the teacher-in-charge that I'd do OK, or the knowledge that I'd do Ok, I have to find internal justification, by convincing myself that this is still early in the Semester, so I still have time to buck up on the course, and that I will actually do well in the course, because I like the course. So with internal justification, I'll convince myself that doing well in the course is gonna be Ok, that I have just as much chance of doing well in the course as anyone else. Yes. So I'm gonna believe in that, and hopefully I'll be spurred on to work harder for this course.

I didn't expect that this course would be this hard, seriously. I thought prescribed electives were supposed to be easy. Ah well, maybe I feel like this because I'm out of my comfort zone. Ok, enough of these depressing thoughts. I'm off to work hard! =)

Thursday... Friday... Saturday... And Exams soon!

Well, it's finally Thursday, which means tomorrow will be Friday! It's strange, but I kinda find that this week has passed real slooooooooooowly.. I mean, the time just creeps by. Even HP202 tutorial, which usually zooms past without my being aware of the time passing, was slow! Goodness, what happened to time this week?

Haha, well, I think Pony would scold me for wishing that time would pass quickly. After all, tomorrow's the Social Psych test. I have no idea why I would still want time to pass so fast even when there's a test tomorrow. I don't even know if I'm well-prepared for it. I have a nasty feeling I'll be kicking myself for wishing that time would pass faster tomorrow, once I realise that I hadn't prepared enough for the paper. Well. So what the hell am I doing online, blogging about time passing very slowly and then knowing what will happen tomorrow? Frankly, I have no idea. Sounds crappy I know, but there you have it.

JB Food trip by Deli Aprecio club has been cancelled because of the bird flu. To be honest, I feel relieved at its cancellation. At least there's one less event to be carried out. However, I'm not so sure it's such a good thing. You see, when JB food trip is cancelled, all the more the committee would want the year-end publication to come out. Which means that I'm in deep trouble. Which means more writing. Which means more time spent on something which won't go towards enhancing my GPA. Which means more headaches. Which means more apportioning out my time to handle more things. Sheesh. And there are sooooo many readings to be done already! This weekend, my time will be occupied by project readings. And God knows that I haven't prepared well for my Personality Psych and Developmental Psych papers. And exams are in 4-5 weeks' time. Everything is just dandy. And my father is always behind me nagging for me to start my revision. Well, as if I don't know what's at stake here.

Ah well. This is life I guess. After 4th May I'll be free! For a few days, at least. Hmm. And I can look forward to going K Box with Yi Lun! =)

Happy Holidays....

Oh wow. The whole family's sick, thanks to Evon's good bye present to us. My mother, Yi Lun and I have been running a fever these last few days and my fever is still climbing. Last measurement was at 38.1 degrees. Sheesh. So because of this I have to forgo Project Bridge today. Haven't gone down for 2 weeks- this is my 3rd week- I think Yancy must be getting irritated with me.

Been sleeping the whole day, and it's still not enough! What a time to get sick. I still have to study for tests and do projects one leh! And I broke out in hives this morning. It's the worst case I've ever experienced. Bumps all over the body; even eating the usual medicine didn't really help. -_-" It's so irritating. I have no idea why it's such a serious breakout today, I didn't take any seafood yesterday. Don't tell me I am allergic to fish as well?!

I do hope I'll be able to get well by Friday! I wanna go back to TPJC to play vball! Haven't played it for a long time, I kinda miss it. However, I think it's unlikely that I'll be going back, if my mother and Yi Lun's slow recovery are an indication.

Ok, it's time for me to sleep. My eyes are sooo heavy. Let's hope I don't break out in hives again tomorrow!

Happy Birthday to Me!

Haha... Yep, my birthday was just over like... an hour and 20min ago, but still, I'm still quite touched by the events of today. Thanks to everyone who sent me birthday greetings and celebrated my birthday with me! And to Evon: I still miss you! This is the first birthday with you not in Singapore!

Anyway, the day started with me being late (I'm so sorry!) meeting Si Huan and Merrilyn. Alvin doesn't count 'cos he was late too! Met him while walking up the stairs from the train. And then we went to Kbox, where we sang until 2+ pm, and reluctantly left the place. There were still so many songs unsung! And most (if not all) of the songs unsung were Si Huan, Merrilyn and Alvin's! Feel so bad. They pushed my songs up first to let me sing 'cos it was my birthday. So sweet! Hey! We must go Kbox again after the exams k?! This time sing longer! Not bad! Everyone can sing so well! =) Though there were some points when we had no mo qi. ;) OH! I almost forgot! Merrilyn, Si Huan and Alvin sang Twins' Happy Birthday to me! Haha... So fun.. But I thought the song was never going to end. It just kept going on and on... and faster and faster... Oh man.. haha... Nonetheless, first time I've had a karaoke versh of Happy Birthday sung to me!

Then, with nothing to do from 2+ to 5.30, we walked around Suntec, and discussed project in a corner of Suntec. Haha, that is a nice place to do discussions! Nobody disturbs us! =) Yah I know... It sounds a bit anti-climatic to actually discuss project on my birthday and after an exhilarating time at Kbox, but to be honest, I quite enjoyed the discussion leh. Quite fun what, and at least we got some of our discussions done. =)

Then off it was to meet Pony and Wen Keat. We went to Chong Qing Yuan Yang Steamboat! Haha, it's a new experience, though I think Marina Bay's variety is better. This Chong Qing place is only a good experience to try Yuan Yang hotpot and the Ma La hot pot. Other than that, Marina Bay wins. =) I had a great time there though, haha. It was so full of laughs! With WenKeat and Alvin... Oh man... haha, and Si Huan... Natural entertainers.. =)

First joke of the day:
Si Huan: My whole family uses the leftover watermelon to rub on our face, that's why my skin is
so nice. Alvin you should do it!
The rest: (eye her suspiciously)
Si Huan: It's true! (proceeds to demonstrate)
People walk past, looking at her and wondering what she's doing.

Second joke of the day:
Si Huan: I think it's the chemical reaction of my saliva and the white of the watermelon that
make my skin nice when I apply on myself. Alvin, you should seriously try it.
Wen Keat: Then he should bring the whole bag home and try!
Alvin: ... Don't want! Later infection!
Wen Keat: Yah lor, then maybe mushrooms will grow on your face!
(Loud bursts of uncontrollable laughter around the table)
Pony: Then Alvin bo hua leh, come here to eat steamboat. He can pluck the mushrooms from
his face.
(More uncontrollable laughter, this time with moans of pain as we hadn't recovered from our last laughter)

Wen Keat and Merrilyn proceeded to eat LOTS of prawns (or should I say Merrilyn only?) after the rest of us gave up. Then we went to Bugis.

3rd joke:
Si Huan to me: Your surprises for today haven't ended yet.
Me looking at her wide-eyed: Don't tell me they went to buy cake!
Si Huan: Dunno leh, maybe they are making chocolate cake in the toilet! But why take so long?
Wen Keat: Maybe not enough ingredients. That's why Merrilyn was eating so many prawns just
now. She wanted prawn flavoured cake!
(uncontrolled laughter again)

Yah. That's it. But in between, there were many jokes! To tell them all, I'd need until like tomorrow, but I'm too sleepy. Haha. Yah I realise some of these jokes are a lil mean and erm... disgusting, but at that point in time it was rather funny, particularly when you see Wen Keat's face when he talks. I guess you just have to be there when the jokes were being said. =) Oh, and I don't think Alvin's offended....

Haha, Si Huan got saboed! Though she didn't realise it. We meant to sing the birthday song to her in Swensen's when the Earthquake was brought over, but she was too preoccupied singing out my name that she didn't hear everyone else singing her name! =D

Oh and there's 15% off for anyone with a birthday at Giordano's! Bought a pair of jeans from there. Been eyeing their jeans for ages! But it's still quite ex... from $45 to $38. Not very much of a good deal, but I've been drooling so much over it that I'm running low on water. I saw another pair which I like! (Like the cutting! and the design!) But it was $69!!! Even with 15% discount, it's still too much. I have to start saving money. But I'm not doing a very good job of it leh.

They gave me a blue Mizuno sports bag! =) Thanks guys! Haha, it might look small on the outside, but upon closer inspection the moment I got home, the interior is quite large! =) Aiyah, even if it wasn't, I'd still squeeze my clothes in one! =)

Shinder just called me! Wow she remembered my birthday even though we haven't talked in ages! So sweet of her! Really happy!

Haha, think this has been a wonderful birthday for me! Lots of people remembered me, and wonderful presents I received! Haha, all are presents I've always secretly wanted but never bought because of the cost, or because I wasn't sure if I would use it. But since it's given to me, I SHALL USE IT! =D The only dark cloud is that I'm 20. Yah, I know, most people can't wait for 21, but... 20 is old!! Just imagine, I shall be 30 in 10 years' time! And there's no significant other in sight! Haha... I sound desperate... Haha... I'm just kidding. But well... It's no fun getting old leh. Wonder why I wanted to grow up so much when I was young. Silly.

Haha. I shall retire to bed now. My eyes can't open.

Thanks again, everyone, who did or said things to make my birthday a great and memorable one!

And Serene, CONGRATS on passing your exam! =)

Crikey the last 2 days have been a total waste. I thought I'd have learned from my lesson from last break, but apparently, I'm still too addicted to slacking. -_-"

Though DAC has been taking most of my concentration, I think I'm not justified in not doing anything. Social Psych has been untouched! And I'm going to be out of the house the whole day tomorrow! And Tuesday! Ahhhh!!!

OK, I'm going to work hard. I'm going to sign out of MSN. Right Now.
