*Edited*

ladies,

do not get ahead of yourselves in mindless gossip.

do not take something casual and fun, under no motives other than friendly to be amorous.

you claim said person's behaviour as immodest and unpure, perhaps it is your minds that are so.

don't start loading your guns without clarifying matters.

to assume would be to make an ass out of you and me.

now. you, an actual party in said matter,
don't slander and make accusations of him, you should know said person better than this, don't let the anger go to your head based on said assumptions. parting ways is more than an end of a relationship but may possibly be a start of a great friendship. i don't want to get involved in your homely affairs but if the misunderstanding was caused by something i may have displayed on this venue, i do apologize.
please consider this matter wisely.

*edit*

also to actual party in said matter,
i don't know you personally, but from what i hear from said person, i find you a really sweet person. this isn't a post to spear at your heart, but just an apology from me. i don't apologize for my posts, i don't believe we've done anything wrong. you can say we're like siblings, children at heart, no impure thoughts when it comes to us. but i am sorry that you read my blog, i had no idea you did. i know what it's like, to perceive someone who was once so dear to you as such. just to clarify, of the times you were the object of our discussion, it was only when we were sharing our experiences in life, nothing unfavourable was shared, we tried our best to keep it objective. i don't wish to take sides, though it is hard since said person is my friend, but do take this post as one filled with empathy, not hostility.

i wanted to write this just now but i was rushing outta the house, if this post was in any form an offence before the addition i'm sorry.

to addie:
i think you're said party's friend? if so, we're both external parties to this fragile involvement of two people's feelings. if said party as anything to say to me, i welcome her with open arms. i don't really have anything to say to you, cos i don't actually know what you're talking about

I really am.

2009-08-24T01:47:39Z

something so unprecedented.

on an unrelated note.

to jh:
i read it. sucks i know, but it's okay, just because said person feels it's been a waste of time, you shouldn't, learn from it, grow from it. all that matters is you turn out a better person after this, don't get affected cos that's probably what everybody else wants. If anything, you have friends and me:) Cheer up, and i've got your lemon candies! HAHA!

will update on where i've disappeared to all weekend later, now's report time :)

I was heading out to meet arjun and mark for dinner at wagas last night for pasta. then my flatmates hit me with the news, i was supposed to pay RMB1666 more cos they were leaving earlier, but it made no sense at all. i was basically expected to pay 6 months rent for only using the place for 5 months.

met the two goons, told them about my situation, their advice? "ask them to fuck off", and encouraged me to fight back. usually i'd just give in, pay them to shut up, but it was just too much money this time. so mark became my genius accountant, called up my flat mates and did a run down on everything on the restaurant napkins. it was remarkably funny, seriously, like, " no i'm talking now shut up." BRILLIANT.

Hello, my name is mark, and i'm brilliant.

so after calculating everything on our side, i sent a msg to them, along the lines of " after calculation on our part, i'm only paying 900 tops to you guys in singapore after the landlady returns me my money. see you laters! :)"

and they replied, "when are you coming back? we'll talk to you face to face in details. pls get ready the amount of money that we told you."

that did it. mark and arjun offered to come over to my place and settle things. so they ended up following me home. IT WAS BRILLIANT. basically, it was mark vs 4 of them, he pulled out the napkins we'd saved, spoke for only like 5 mins and left them confused for the next 45 mins, constantly changing the figures while we sat back. then the whispering started and we got annoyed so we did it back. silly i know. BUT FUN.

after a gruelling but quite entertaining 45 min wait, turns out i only have to pay 880. compared to the original 1666 that they insisted i paid. the nerve. GRRR.

yes i can hear you all cheering out there. finally i win! somewhat.

karaoke night at their place later, WOOTS!

imma gonna do a timeline here.

Friday
gave a presentation to 4 students from the UK on a prime minister's fellowship program of some sort, namely, arjun, lara, rebecca and mark. turned out they were the same age, so we made a date for the night, which was quite disastrous. only arjun turned up, along with 5 others, the guys have the coolest names ever i swear. ended up sleeping over at the hotel(which was awesome by the way), cos it was pretty late.

Saturday
left for home early in the morning cos they had mandarin classes, came back in the evening to go clubbing.

we split into two groups intially, one heading straight to dkd, and the other club hopping, final destination dkd, i was part of the latter. The night started off pretty rough, we were quite lost trying to find M2, then we got denied access for god knows what reason, but it was all good, cos a group of strangers, also from the UK left the building and told us the place was dead, left the place chanting "cos you're shit!" like you hear in soccer matches. the following clubs were pretty bad so we eventually gave up and headed down to dkd.

definitely the best clubbing experiences in my life, it was AWESOME i swear, crazy western kids, plus i was called beautiful twice in the same night, nothing beats that! though one of us got spiked, we thought she was just wasted or something. pictures are stored in assorted cameras now, i'd probably only be able to get it through facebook when they get back to the uk.

Sunday
hung out in arjun's room doing nothing really, watched inbetweeners with his roomie, david, who is hilarious, the quirky english kid. taught me more dance moves, namely, big fish-little fish-cardboard box, picking-stars-out-from-the-sky, chopping-board and much more. GOOD FUN.

me: if you guys thought my accent was heavy before, you should hear me now, my tongue is so over used.
daryl: wtf, people expect your chinese to have improved during this trip and you come back indian/american/british/african. you really are going international aren't you?

aye.

i'm so lost on what i'm going to do during my gap year after graduating from poly, i'm seriously considering furthering my studies in the UK.

[AM 11:21:07] Ian Hwang Liang Yow: Yumi was adopted last nite by a dog lover hope she'll be happy in her new home

i know i always complain about how her fur gets on everything, and how she mauls the furniture and just destroys everything. but i'm gonna miss carrying my very large, underweight brown and blue eyed husky. and times where i lie on her tummy to sleep. collecting her fur that fills up an entire bag. irritating the hell out of her and making her chase me around the house. making fun of her chinese face: small eyes big nose. watching her gallop like a very retarded, ungraceful pony.

i know it's gna be hell for her during the first month thinking her owners have abandoned her. hope her usual cheerful disposition helps her through it :(

i will miss you.

just to clear the air

2009-08-14T03:11:07Z

hello people. quit speculating. We're just good friends.

and we intend to keep it that way

Jh and i were supposed to catch the meteor shower at 2am together via skype or phone call. but we slept through the entire thing. oh well. i guess watching videos would be good enough. it just ain't the same watching these things alone. i nv saw the big hoo ha over eclipses and the like.

He was a bore, a true chore and I still wonder why I ever wanted to see him more
I know it is useless to complain all these years after, well...
Thanks for asking now I'm fine
I should have muffled my obsession but I was all too pure
And so blindly sure that he'd always have the satisfying hug I needed

Stay just a little bit more
Don't let my heart turn sore

He was kind, polite and divine in public, tender as a sleepy child
But when we got slightly more intimate it wasn't that bright
Yes he was kind, polite, sound and sublime, in theory
But in practice believe me, there was a nasty fire burning

Stay just a little bit more
Don't let my heart turn sore

And when my curves came into play
Oh what a hopeles tumbling down
When his desire was stuck in plaster
I was young but I believed in no tales!

Sit in the desert of the bed I looked hard for an oasis
But all I could find was a dead camel in pieces
And I got so scared I tried to lure him back to bed
Whispered "stay just a little bit more"
But now I'm grateful to the camel
Because all the lazy boy could do was RUN, then I knew for sure
That he would never be the satisfying shag I needed, no no no

Stay (just a little bit more) - The Do

May i just say

2009-08-12T15:39:28Z

i have found the playlist of my dreams in jh's ipod.

the search is over. yesiree.

:D:D

back home in just a lil over 2 weeks. Romantic gestures at the airport would be greatly appreciated. HAHAHA!

seeya kids :)

uno dos tres. boom boom pow.

2009-08-11T04:42:05Z

HK WAS WAY FUN! it's really the company that counts! we were suffering from face cramps by the end of the trip from the smiles fixated our faces the whole time from laughing so much.

remember how i kept calling HK dim sum haven? lemme tell you something. finding dim sum was one of the toughest things jh and i had to do during our trip. like what the fuck seriously.

anyhow. i'll run through the trip with pictures.

Saturday

Took the maglev train to the Shanghai Pudong international airport. 301km/h WOOTS! damn shiok, especiallly when it swerves. HA!

en route to HK. fraught with complications and obstacles. we both had our fair share of heart attacks that morning. ok here's the thing.

Jh was flying from singapore, arriving at 10am, however there was a delay and he arrived at 11am.

I was flying from Shanghai, supposedly arriving at 11am, via hk express, but cos of an incident-we-shall-never-speak-of-again, i arrived at 1pm, on a different flight, of which i smsed jh about before i flew.

upon touchdown, i realised neither my china nor singapore phone line was working. but jh already knew about the change of schedules right? so it was ok right? WRONG. apparently his phone couldn't work either, leaving him stranded in the airport with no way of communicae. so basically he was freaking out for 2 hours, cos he thought i landed at the same time as him. Thank goodness our online telepathy worked irl, cos he managed to find me in less than 10 mins after i arrived, tho he was pretty darn pissed at me. :p

so anyhow. upon reaching the hostel, i called up joel another ngee ann intern working in hong kong and we headed out.

LOOK MA! DISINFECTED CARPETS! we were acting like typical tourist goons during the entire trip.

they call guardian mannings there, like wtf is the link?

Trust Jh to catch this damn unglam moment of me struggling with pomelo pulp. that's a really yum mango dessert thingy in my hand btw.

Avenue of stars, waiting for the 8pm light show.

twas a total disappointment, we got pretty bored. the background music reminded me of those really lame scenes during NDP.

LOOK MA! HIS SAILOR UNIFORM! ha! took the star ferry across the waters, to head up victoria peak.

Damn goon photographer. that hand gesture wasn't meant to be a twist, i was in the midst of saying:"press harder!"

at the complex on the peak. this picture did not come easy. but still. FAIL!

Meet the monkey boys. no that's not fog, it's clouds! we were literally standing in the clouds and breathing it in. :D though, it did obstruct the view we went up there for in the first place. :/

Fav playground lar. silent hill? yes yes?

At lan kwai fong below the peak, horde of taxis on the crazy steep slopes. we were sitted in a taxi, tilted more than 45 degrees. had a good laugh about it i tell ya.

Lan kwai fong - their clarke quay equivalent, saturation of clubs.

Dirt cheap beers before going to sugar to dance. and we ended up being the party starters that night, hong kongers are too damn shy. so there we were, 3 idiots shaking our asses off in the middle of the empty dance floor. and our dance moves aren't pretty.

Crazy high in the cab home. i think we scared the taxi driver. HA!

Sunday

at a cha chan teng, kena con, no dimsum, damn.

Po lo bao!

Met Joel at Mongkok for shopping. ended up going on a spree at cotton on. IRONIC.

went to the space museum after that which was pretty disappointing. everything was quite elementary, especially for jh since he learnt the exhibits in poly already.

OMG. the char siew. OMG. i'll never be satisfied with char siew in singapore ever again.

in sync~!

bought tickets for G.I. Joe and killed time at the arcade playing bishy bashy and DDR.
G.I. Joe was so fucking stupid. overload on CG. poor CG. very poor. i ended up day dreaming half way through the movie and huffing through my nose in disapproval.

Supper time. we were supposed to have dim sum, but what do you know? the shop didn't sell dim sum on weekend nights. wtf.
so we went to this porridge place, lots of you tiao. i don't think we even had porridge.

Went back to the hostel where jh taught me how to play gin rummy and i pawned his ass. HA! had a heart to heart talk till 5am in the morning.

Monday

took the subway to Ocean park, transport in hk is fucking expensive when you don't have the octopus card, and we didn't -.-

jh: wtf!!!!!
me: fine...

me: better?
jh: yes....

HAHAHAHA!

twas so fucking hot. we were so damn dehydrated. jh was experiencing water withdrawal symptoms.

their underwaterworld. honestly singapore's is better, but this open concept from the top was pretty cool. you follow the slopes down which wraps around the tank till it hits the bottom.

if you can't beat em' join em'

Crazy long and SLOW escalators. since ocean park was built around a hill, you have like 5 super long escalators till you hit the top. we gave up enduring it, and sat instead, as did everybody else.

Jh sending me off at the airport. him obviously sad to see me go, like duh, i'm like so fun. HAHAHA!
no, that's not snot, it's a fucking pimple.

the initial plan was that jh sleep at joel's after sending me off and heading to the airport the next morning to catch his flight. but he got lazy, plus it wasn't economically smart so he ended up sleeping in the airport. the poor thing. awwww..

see, this is the thing i hate about hugeass airports. i took the train and walked all the way to gate 62 only to be informed that they changed the gate to 6. i literally walked from one end of the aiport to the other again. wtf. it's like damn fucking scary. it took so long that it was as though the aiport never ends.

i miss the trip already. it was the happiest i've been during these 5 months.

I can't believe it. less than a month till i'm home. less than 4 days till i'll be in hong kong. over 4 months since i went solo. and i am as happy as can be.

How time flies.

going home however, doesn't seem as appealing as it should be. i miss my friends yes, dearly. i miss swim training. i miss my family. BUT, there's the complications at home i have to deal with, i know i shouldn't be running away, but i'm lazy to figure things out in my head. and it's gonna be busy busy busy.

overall:
gotta get my driving and diving license done, work 5 days a week for 7 weeks while rushing down to swim trainings on mondays wednesdays and fridays after work and i still wouldn't be good enough to qualify for the desired events. have my allergy start up again cos of me dogs.

specifically:
night cycling
planning the year end trip
planning my gap year
yacht party :D

i can't decide if i want a boyfriend or whether i don't. and it's almost time to make a decision, just so i have a guideline in my head when i get back.

ok random.
i suddenly recall the clubbing incident in beijing. so stanley mat and kai opened a bottle of chivas, mixer green tea. gulp gulp, got high. amidst the chaos, kai told me that mixing chivas and beer was the ultimate high. ok. go dance, beijing stranger asks to dance, ok dance, asks if he can buy me a drink, ok, go to bar. he orders beer. fuck. SO FUCKING HIGH I SWEAR. it's the highest i've ever felt without feeling like puking. cos i'm a puker, good thing about that is i never get drunk, i'll still have some smarts no matter what. awesome combination. however i do recall totally crashing on the sofa outside cos my head was so heavy. it wasn't the crazy kinda high, more like dope-sit-and-rot kinda high. who needs LSDs and acids when you have chivas and beer? HA.

ann_jill @ 2009-08-03T10:07:00

2009-08-03T02:25:02Z

visited the propaganda poster art museum on Saturday which was actually located in a basement of some condo. really interesting, major mao (mao ze dong) overload. The posters range from the 1940s to 1980s, collected bit by bit by Yang pei ming, who's a real friendly and jovial bloke by the way, all evidence to the conditions of china back then, or rather, the image the government tried to portray. Standing amidst those posters, it was difficult not to be awed, i found myself catching my breath as i envisioned the trailing events that make up our present. it's quite a sight to witness, hands down the best museum i've been to so far, maybe because it's so close to heart, our ancestor's past.

Catched Transformers after much procrastination over the month, tickets cost a whooping 90 yuan (est 20 sing). farking expensive. the storyline kinda sucked, plus i couldn't really concentrate on the movie with the commotion. on the right i had a couple chattering away to no end, on the left, i had ju er bouncing up and down her seat and exclaiming at the sights of bumblebee or when the good guys get trashed. i miss the theaters back home! :( especially my movie kakis, not forgetting my late night mahjong kakis :( oh yes, and dinner buddies... LAI!!

Bought this 5 SGD hello kitty mouse for my sis and her friend, since they're such avid fans. went home, plugged it in to try, and it started lighting up, turning a sickly GREEN AND RED. wtf. \

sad case:
jh can no longer log in to msn during work. AW MAN. work was only just bearable with my msn kaki. :( JH!!!

eccentricity

2009-07-31T16:56:35Z

chuck: is this strange?

ned: this is not strange. unusual, maybe. eccentric in a quaint way, like dessert spoons.

chuck: i have so many questions, my mind wanders.

ned: you need to feed it warm milk and a turkey sandwich and let it curl up in a sunny spot and take a nap.

chuck: i can't even hug you? what if you need a hug? a hug can turn your day around.

ned: i'm not a fan of the hug.

chuck: then you haven't been hugged properly. it's like an emotional heimlich. someone puts their arms around you and they give you a squeeze, and all your fear and anxiety comes shooting out your mouth in a big wet wad and you can breathe again.

i miss pushing daisies :(

ann_jill @ 2009-07-30T15:40:00

2009-07-30T07:48:47Z

haven't been blogging cos there's nothing much to tell.

lately, too many secrets, pushing me up the walls, i can't breathe, never once has morality been such a big question mark in my life.

set me free. leave me be.

ann_jill @ 2009-07-25T13:11:00

2009-07-25T05:22:31Z

ned: you're the only one for me

chuck: i know you feel that now, but there are things you want. there are things we both want.

ned: so everyone wants stuff. we wake up everyday with a list of wishes and maybe we spend our lives trying to make those wishes come true. But just because we want them doesn't mean we need them to be happy.

chuck: what do you need to be happy?

ned: you

been watching pushing daisies. i swear it's the sweetest show ever, love the surreal fairytale effect. kinda like tim burton without the morbidity and darkness. the show makes me wanna bake pies and have a boyfriend, ned is too cute, plus i love his wardrobe hmm. but i shan't succumb to temptation. the boyfriend part i mean.

the weekends are here and they don't mean squat to me. cos i spend it lazing at home, watching dvds and updating my blog, pfft. sucks when you have no one to go out with :/ the weather's too hot for me to do anything, maybe i should visit the museum of natural history tml. hmm.

tickets to hong kong and the hostel have been booked. yipee :D 2 more weeks to ultimate dim sum haven.

sad case:
jh: i know why the tickets are so expensive now! you made me fly on a public holiday!
me: what? what public holiday?
jh: -.- NATIONAL DAY!

oops.
going on crazy saving mode for hong kong. maybe i'd be able to lose some weight. oh who am i kidding.

mcdonald's doesn't deliver to my house. this sucks. i actually hate fast foods. except for the occasional urge for mc breakfast. which mcdonalds isn't indulging. BLEH.

*EDIT*
daryl lai just told me that there is speculation that ned, actual name, lee pace, is gay. NOOOOOOOO. dammit! he's not even gorgeous! he's cute! fuck. first the gorgeous guys turn gay and now the cute ones too?!? MMMMMMM :( UPSET

2009-07-22T01:44:44Z

Headed over to the lama temple intitially with the agenda of sightseeing but ended up having to pray to every single deity idol.

Great wall. hordes of umbrella wielders

Forbidden city. blah.

Clubbing was way fun, GT banana, the name of the place, bouncy dance floor, nice guys. lazy to add a detailed description. next trip HONG KONG. NIAHIA. :D

Cos' life's a bitch

and so are you.

people get dumber as they grow up. we use the most complicated solutions to answer the simplest of equations. cos' we think we get smarter. that we've somehow manage to see past facades of a simple equation. that what seems simple wants to be known as just that. so they can laugh in our faces at how stupid we are when we fall for it. The reason why people complicate things, they think they're too smart for simple equations. which is an irony. cos then they'd be stupid for complicating things. we should just stop annihilating reasons why we're happy and just be happy. the more answers we find, the more questions we do too. maybe it's time to give it a rest.

possibilities of the future which may or may not reflect on thyself:
marry rich husband
drop out of course, study medicine
study psychology, work in imh/changi prison
study philosphy, face unemployment
travel the world with a haversack (toothbrush, toothpaste, travel visa)
finish boring course of study, find boring job, marry boring husband, have boring kids.
to be continued...

on a more frivolous note,
going to beijing in oh say, 5 hours. not exactly excited about it. feels more like a road trip to malaysia then an actual trip abroad. cos we all know, just becos we need our passports to travel to malaysia, it isn't actually "travelling".

don't infect me with your complications. i don't need it. now move along.
