「 bouncing away 12:18 AM 」

hello! it's the last day of year 2007, and i'm here to blog!
i shall update about what i did the past couple of days before i reflect for the year. :D

i've spent the past few days with BFF!
hahaha, went window shopping on the 27th.
i hate window shopping! and it's really a good thing i left my atm card at home. lol!
i have zero self control, la.
anyway the purpose wasn't to really shop, but i shan't elaborate.
LMAO.

BFF called in sick at work the next day and spontaneously dated me out for suntanning @ sentosa!
the sun was really good, for the first time in many days. hahah.
i'm like really bronzed now! whee. :D
haven't tanned for so long. now i got new tan-lines. :D
took photos but i shall not upload!
hahaha. anyway we left just before the sun set, and partly because we saw quite a few aj guys.

after that went to vivocity to shop.
GUESS what?
hahaha i bought two GUESS wallets cos they were on sale!
got one for my mum.
i should just snap my atm card into two to prevent myself from overspending. LOL.

29th, BFF came over my house to bake cupcakes!
i baked, she helped awhile then go and utilise my uZAP and play with xiaobai.
hahaha.
these are the cupcakes we made!
quite ugly, but very edible okay.


and yesterday was officially 'the craziest day of our lives'. hahaha.
we did some crazy stunts but i shall not divulge. it just involves a lot of sneaking around and running about.
and alot of travelling. :D
use your imaginations!

my cupcakes are called 'UGLY CUPCAKES', hahah.
on my way home, i realised i was so preoccupied with baking and didn't eat my lunch and dinner. :/

baked some more cupcakes today. okay, technically speaking, yesterday.
wanted to give shan and jac cos we had a squash dinner just now. (:
and i went hougang to meet darling before dinner, cos i made for her too.
the ones i baked today were much, much nicer. hahaha.







so pretty ey! hahaha, i'm bringing some to chuan tomorrow. which means i have to wake up early and go to school!
she's working in aj.
how, i think i'm such a nice friend. HAHAH.

i feel like selling my UGLY CUPCAKES, but i don't think anyone will buy.
and baking is super hard work, half my day was gone after making thirteen cupcakes. lol.
especially washing up!
i. hate. washing. ):
shall find a way to sell them. hahaha. please buy from me if i decide to sell them online!
i'm a budding entrepreneur! :D

and i'm making for my coach this wednesday. i want to try new flavours! like banana cupcake. :D
the ones i tried making are oreo cheese and normal cupcakes.
i want to open a bakery in future!
like so fun, get to make cakes everyday. hee.

had squash dinner just now, at cityhall new york new york.
ate fish 'n' chips, damn sinful. but it's not that bad since i missed lunch, dinner and lunch today. :D
only three girls turned up, including me. hahaha.
the first time in history that more guys than girls are present for squash gathering.
coach and coach sao came too. :D

i'm too tired to post my reflections for 2007, shall do it in the morning instead.
off to bed!

「 bouncing away 10:46 AM 」

hello!
yesterday was such a busy day at home, hahah.
i cleared out all my storybooks, i have thousands of them! nightmare. lol.

these piles are just part of them, we threw out quite alot already.
i think my property of books have a net worth of a few thousand dollars. hahaha!

my parents wanted to me clear away those that i don't read anymore.
but i couldn't bear to throw away many of them!
so i kept my 64 enid blyton books, 37 of the sweet valley series and alot of books from other series.
the princess diaries, charmed, sabrina the teenage witch, a series of unfortunate events, archie comics, bookworm short stories, the naughtiest girl.
and the list goes on. hahaha.
even if i sell them for one buck each, i can still make a cool profit.

they accompanied me through my pri and sec school days, some are tattered and torn already.
some even lost their covers.
that explains how come i was a bookworm with a nerdy, thick, round specs back in primary school.
cos i really love to read.

sadly, the only 'books' i read after A's are stuff like CLEO, seventeen, women weekly, her world. blah blah.
hahaha, i get them for free anyway. :D

my daddy said i can keep for my future children, vintage collection of books. lol.

and i realised i have damn alot of zuo wen guide books.

twenty one, to be exact. :O
after sorting out everything, this was the pile i kept.

still a huge pile, but considerably lesser than before la.
how can i throw away my childhood! lol.
got sentimental value one eh.

i walked to amk hub to buy boxes to keep my books.


tada! they're sitting prettily inside the boxes now. hahaha.
the whole thing took me half a day la.
i hate packing things! :/
and i went to run! hahaha. i've forgotten how good running feels, (:

anyway, my dog is still as cute as ever. :DD
photos!

aww. hahah. (and yes, that is my fat thigh beside. urgh)





and my doggie is really not photogenic, it looks so much cuter in real life. hahah.

long post again!
and it's gonna be another busy busy day today.

oh!
and e-learning is so irritating, hahaha.
i'm doing e-learning for my basic theory, and smart me got full marks for all my assessments okay. :D

「 bouncing away 10:20 PM 」

dinner out with the family was great. (:
a happening affair, we managed to rescue an abandoned hamster!
hahaha, i swear my home is turning into a shelter for poor, homeless animals. heh, we're compassionate people! :D

the hamster was lucky it met us, it was being chased by xiao hei.
think of what would happen to it if we didn't see it. -shudders

anyone wants to adopt the hamster?
please tell me, we really can't keep it. lol.
one baby is enough for us already.

oh yes, back to the dinner.
i think its been like 4 years since the five of us eat out together.
its good to see my family happy like this. (: and the food was good as well!
ate lots of seafood, hahah.

anyway, just something random.
i've always appreciated my mum more than my dad.
but today, i realised i have a very nice daddy. :D

and i went shopping with darling in town today! retail therapy works really well for me.
oops, i think i've spent more than what i've earned for the past few days of christmas shopping.
the purpose of going town today, was to get a present for darling's friend, 'HE WHO SHALL NOT BE NAMED'.
hahahah!

i. shall. not. go. shopping. in. high. heels. ever. again.

remind me to wear my converse shoes next time i go shop! lol.
heels really kill, la.
wore heels yesterday too, that pair was worse. damn wobbly. :D
never mind, i shall blog about all my heels some other day. HA.

shopping was good today, i got both my sisters their christmas presents. (:
i also splurged on:
-three tee shirts with wacky slogans
-a pair of grey skinnies

that's my shopping list for today, only.
i SHALL NOT, WILL NOT spend anymore until chinese new year. hahaha.

okay, let's rewind.
christmas eve was well spent too!
met up with boona in town after her work to pass her christmas present.
that glutton was eating her present up as we walked around far east! lmao.

anyway, that ah soh took me budget shopping around town! hahaha.
she managed to chance upon this crazy MONDO sales at some ulu part of far east.
the shoes are really dirt cheap, ten bucks for a pair, albeit there weren't alot of choices left la.
mondo shoes usually go for twenty to thirty bucks per pair. :DD
urm, i bought three pairs of heels for myself, and a pair of flats for my sis.

did i mention that there were ALOT of people, and we had to squeeze around like some aunties? no image already, hahah.

then we shopped around some more cos boona wna get gifts for her parents.
and she lured brought me to lucky plaza!
i never shopped at lucky plaza cos that's like, a hangout for philippino maids la. LOL.
but the perfume there is really super cheap compared to normal prices.

i got my echo woman davidoff perfume for fourty bucks only.
cos i bought the tester, which looks brand new to me.
only it comes without the original packaging.
normally it costs me ninety bucks can! i feel so cheated.
it's exactly the same la, whalao. ):

yes, so i spent money like water for this christmas season.
i feel myself going broke. LOL.

this is such a wordy entry, i doubt anyone will finish reading it.
but, never mind! i shall continue. :D

after the very budget shopping with boona, i RUSHED HOME, DRESSED UP and RUSHED OUT again.
was supposed to meet darling for dinner at madjack's cafe, but we both were late!
we made reservations for six thirty and turned up at seven-ish. lol.

but thankfully the place wasn't really packed, and our food arrived at super speed. hahah.
the food was really GOOD, we ate till we couldn't walk.
go try if you have the time! it's at jalan kayu, the famous roti prata there.
photos! to make you drool.
but the photos don't do justice to the food, they tasted alot better. :D

we both had the ribeye steak in black pepper sauce.

spicy fries with cheese! hahaha, it was our favourite for the night.
we strongly recommend this. :D

empty plates, full stomachs. hahah, but there's ALWAYS room for dessert.

say hello to wild boy, hahaha. darling ate this banana thing. it's really damn nice!

sweetie pie's such a disgusting name for apple crumble. hahaha, i ordered this but i regretted!
so i could only watch (enviously) as darling ate hers. hahaha, never mind, i managed to steal bites. :D
yea, christmas eve dinner was satisfying!

i counted down to christmas this year! but not at town.
hahah.
anway, i enjoyed my christmas this year very much, thank you.
christmas is a time meant for you and your loved ones, :D

it doesn't matter where the problem lies, really.
maybe it's a problem that doesn't have a solution.
maybe it isn't even a problem for you.
just once, is enough. (:
i don't like writing in italics because it's so obvious who is it for.
lol, not THAT obvious. but all my close friends know, anyway.
those who don't know, obviously i'm not planning to let you know. hahaha!



MERRY MERRY CHRISTMAS! :D
XOXOXO, joyce.

today's Christmas Eve!
meeting boona later in the afternoon, and i'm also looking forward to dinner tonight! (guess what? we managed to reserve seats! hahaha.)
heh, can't wait.

i shall temporary forget my diet and eat-all-i-want tonight. :D
hahah, i know its a bad idea, but it's also Christmas Eve. lol.
no more squeezing with the crowd in town this Christmas. yay.

since i have nothing to do now, i shall not waste money and go read my TIME magazine. :D

chuan said my gingerbread men are very nice. (i did not force her to say that okay!)
hahah, thanks to darling and chuan for the very nice pink and lime green notebook.
super belated, but just in time for 2008. :D
i specified that i want a blank one cos i want to use it as my organiser, since i'm not a very organised person and all.
hahah.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!

「 bouncing away 8:46 PM 」

i'm not sorry at all that i'm not turning up for the christmas eve dinner.
i don't fancy having to plaster a big fake smile and having to make polite conversation on christmas eve.
i'm not obliged to.

anyway! not going to countdown this christmas eve.
(after the trauma that darling and me went through last year, i don't think so.)
it's gonna be fine dining for me. :D
any nice restaurants to recommend?
i bet they're all reserved already anyway. HOW! ):

anyway, christmas night is dinner out with the family!
i think its been ten years since we eat out together as a family la, i'm not kidding!
yay, looking forward to it.
-----------------------------------------------------------


look at my new dog:









okay la, he isn't mine.

he's been loitering around my neighbourhood for several days, i guess he's abandoned.
my family has been bringing it food everyday, so did other dog owners living around our area.

my dad really wanted to bring it home, but due to space constraint he didn't.
hahah, he has a soft spot for huge, handsome dogs la.

i don't know what breed is the dog, but he looks like some pedigree breed.
he has really sleek shiny fur. :D

hey, and i realised i'm not THAT afraid of dogs anymore.
but i still don't like cats, lol.

spent like one hour downstairs petting it and playing with him.
we call it xiao hei, hahahah.
he's really well trained and doesn't bite.

i want to bring it home but i think xiao bai will be terrified. ha.

suddenly, suddenly i'm so tired of everything.
i just want to lie in my bed and think about nothing.
emo day, hahah.

oh! i went to dig out my primary school stuff for tuition.
and and! i found my vintage collection of zuo wens. hahaha.
i've kept all my zuo wens from primary six cos my teacher gave me super high marks. :D
blog about it some other day, i can't resist showing off. hahaha.

「 bouncing away 1:07 PM 」

woke up at freaking early seven this morning, to bring smart ass for her secondary one registration. at anderson sec.
hahaha, the school i ALMOST got into a few years back.
but i'm glad i got into st nicks instead. (:

anyway! i sat in the hall and endured a few agonizing hours of talks.
by the principal, IT HOD, parents support group chairman, blah blah blah.
felt damn sleepy.
i realised i always stand in for my parents for this kind of things.
ey, too bad i don't have any older siblings. my meet-the-parents form always indicates that no one will be turning up to see the teacher. ha.

and the registration was quite screwed up, cos they were so inefficient.
the parents keep asking lots and lots of questions.
hello, your child is not getting married, they're only entering secondary school.
lol.
anyway i did my sis's registration in less than one minute.

i like to do my things fast.
i can't stand inefficient people! urgh. waste my time.

after everything, we went canteen to get her uniform and books.
hahaha, the uniform is the same as ai tong's, pinafore and blouse. only a shade of blue lighter.

in the end we didn't get the books, cos i was so pissed off with the super-long-and-not-moving queue.
so i stormed off. hahaha.
no la, i just told my sis we'll go get it some other day. she's the impatient type as well, so we decided to go home! :D

ah well, hope she'll have fun at anderson.

getting my pay later and going to shop for MORE christmas stuff.

i've been having this horrible cough for several days already.
and once i start coughing you won't hear me stop.
the only thing i love about this cough is that i get to drink pi pa gao! :DD hahaha.

oh, and i finally got a facebook account.
hahaha, it's supposedly the IN thing online nowadays.
st nicks has so many groups la, the orange bowl group, the i miss sports day group.
they even had a group for molly leong! hahaha, my detestable fat sec two form teacher. :p
look at one of the descriptions!

for those who love:
- canteen food (orange bowl!)
- morning assembly
- friday hall assembly
- different interperiod bells
- red bridge
- mrs hwang
- gorgeous jiemeis
- sports day (blue/red/yellow/green houses)
- ij uniform
- sewing belts just before checks
- looking at every mirror all over st nicks
- beautiful school building
- synthetic track and huge field
- mcdonald near the bus stop

those are just part of the st nicks memory.
i love st nicks. <3

oh yes, please do add me on facebook, i still don't know how to use it yet!
imma tech noob, hahaha.

blogger is so screwed.
i want to change my blogskin! ):

today was the first tuition session, i didn't burst any blood vessels, so its good. hahaha.
my tuition kid xavier's chinese is really bad, though.
of cos, that's why he needs tuition. ha.

hope i get more kids like him. :DD as in, for TUITION la.

after tuition, i went town with darling to catch Alvin and the Chipmunks!
theodore is totally cute, ahaha. the fat, stupid and squishy one.
the storyline wasn't that great, but nobody cared cos the chipmunks were too cute. (:
no wonder hj wants a chipmunk as a pet. HAHAH.

i don't like christmas shopping, so crowded!
how to shop for stuff when you keep getting pushed around by people?
i've learnt my lesson, next time do my christmas shopping before christmas season.

yay, tomorrow's pay day!
lalala. (:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------


twelve hours of work today! and i survived. :D
in the morning damn slack, only fold napkins and walk around (while acting busy). hahaha, then went for dinner break.
the wedding banquet was quite screwed la.
stupid captain pair me with an inexperienced guy, we nearly died okay!
some other waiters are really sucky people, keep stealing our serving gear. :/

maia lee was one of the emcee, the singapore idol one.
hahaha wear until damn revealing, but of cos the guys will say that's called HOT.
-rolls eyes-

there was this table of drunkards. not one, but a whole table of them.
and they began making a scene towards the end of the banquet. super embarassing can.
just because we had free flow of beer they sat there and drank for all it was worth.
the bride's face was super black. hahah.

YAY, seventy bucks today. :DD

give me reason but don't give me choice;
you left me with neither.

i shall blog about a conversation between me and laopu!

my horoscope for this week is really really accurate! hahah.
i don't usually go for horoscopes and stuff, but its freaking-ly true, i have to believe it. :D


p.s. online shopping is bad for my bank account. ):

p.p.s. boona says i'm in high demand! so i put that as my msn nick. hahah.

p.p.p.s. being random is fun. lol.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


its two in the morning! and i just got back from work. dead beat.
work was good today, though.
cos i had a good partner! (: lucky he's nice and responsible, if not i'll have a hard time tonight.
if only everyday at work was like that, my life would be easier! lol.
anyway everyone was made to stay for OT, if not i wouldn't have.
still have to take cab home, zzz.

no work tomorrow, but its gonna be a long day as well.

yay, i'm still $20.60 short of what i need.

「 bouncing away 3:12 PM 」

i signed up for the driving basic theory course and got another haircut just now.
hahah, think i'll be able get my license in no time!
gosh, who am i kidding? lol. but need to wait so damn long for the practical test la. within four to six months of passing advanced theory.
anyway, i got no car to drive even if i pass. ha.
dad says he'll SEE HOW after i get my driver's license. :DD

driving is freaking expensive.
30 theory lessons for $150 plus.
eighty bucks for every practical lesson, and the counter person said on average everyone will need 20-25 lessons.
that's like, two thousand bucks flying away.
for my case, i'm sure i will need more than 25 lessons. HA.
if you cannot pass practical within six months after you pass advanced theory, have to pay to renew.
i'm feeling the pain for dad's pocket. ouch.

yes, cut my hair AGAIN. i got lots of hair to cut.
fringe damn short now. ):
i wanted to stop the auntie, but if cut too little not worth the money. HAHAHA.
never mind, i kind of like my short fringe. hee.

christmas is coming!
i like christmas carols at the shopping centres. :D

i couldn't find un-iced plain chocolate biscuits! so i just used plain digestives. heh.
tastes as good.
its definitely one of my favourite comfort food.

shall go sign up for a driving course soon.
hopefully i won't be a road hazard! lol.
but i really have no sense of direction la, how. :/ i'll be losing my way all the time.

note to self: take time off to exercise!
haven't been exercising for a very, very, very long time.

「 bouncing away 11:26 PM 」

too shagged to blog yesterday. hahah, got lots of photos to upload and send to people. i know!
but my energy's running low these few days. ):

photos taken at darling's house a day before prom. hahah, i went over to try out my prom look.





super messy! but its not my room so its okay to post it up. :D

this is my room on the actual day of prom. super messy! but that was cos we were in a rush la. my bed's the one on the left. (:

shall not upload other prom photos because there are super alot.

chye seng went off first. hahah, he had a hot date and we couldn't keep him.



















photos all without captions, cos i'm too brain-dead to think. hahah.

met up with jac, jo and hj at j8 in the afternoon to have lunch. ate at the hong kong cafe.
my first time there! the food was quite nice. i had the super cheesy chicken and mushroom baked rice.
it was such a huge portion, i left like half of the chicken untouched.

we had a birthday surprise for hj! hahah, got her this HUGE orange flower soft toy and some nail polish.
too early, but she's going overseas soon what. lol. glad she likes her presents. (:

urgh, i'm so not looking forward to tomorrow.


RTC cafe sucks eh, that's all i can say la.

BACK FROM CLASS DINNER!
oh my god, qi zi going army tomorrow! ):
anyway, we went to j8's pastamania for dinner. fats, fats, fats! all my class guys damn skinny la, okay those who turned up are. eeeww. don't like them.

ate dinner, talked, took photos. hahah, then we decided to go somewhere to camwhore.

went to the open plaza and did lots of crazy stuff! hahaha, all in the name of phototaking.
i better upload the photos and send them to people. jy keep nagging me! :/
i will send asap la, okay, heh.
people were staring at us like we are crazy people who escaped from the asylum. lol.

walked around j8.
then we sang a song for qi zi in the lift. damn retarded! hahah.

shall upload prom photos and the class dinner photos tomorrow. the sleepy bug is attacking. zzz.


prom's over! after so much preparations and shopping.
it was alright i guess, lots and lots of photo-taking. barely touched dinner because i was too busy taking photos with everyone i know!
think i managed to take with all those i wanted to take with. (:
too bad only a few squash girls turned up for prom. shan, jac and jo crashed post prom, though. heh.

before prom darling came over to my house to dress up and stuff.
she went to the salon near my house to curl her hair! hahah. i got cheated of 6 bucks, my hair doesn't look any different from my normal hair. a bit straighter maybe. NEVER MIND. hahah.

boona was supposed to come over too, in the end she didn't because it was too rushed.
teng spent like SUPER LONG doing up her make up. hahaha, lousy pok. i did mine in less than half an hour. :D
pro eh, i love my smoky eyes!
my dad said it looks weird, but oh well, GUYS.
so many people asked me how much i did my make up for. its FOC! cos i did it myself. :DD

we rushed out of house hurriedly at six, and cabbed down to bp to fetch boona. the taxi driver took such a long route to the hotel! urgh.
luckily we weren't very late, reached at seven. just nice.

had fun commenting on what others were wearing. especially girls'. lol. i mean, how wrong can guys go, right?
some looked really pretty! and some looked.. erm. hahaha, alright, i've commented enough yesterday.
some wore until super casual, like they're going town for shopping la.

the prom programmes weren't terribly engaging, but i think they did their best already. lol.
prom king and queen, was expected. there was no fight for the prom queen at all la. what's with miss classic, hahaha.

went off for post prom after that.
lots of loud music and dancing, super tiring! hahah, danced with shan, stella, huihui, jac and jo.
i didn't touch alcohol, though. i think getting drunk outside will be a very unsightly affair. ha.

headed for home around two plus, cabbed home with darling. she stayed over at my house! hahah. washed up, and talked until four. fell asleep and woke up around twelve. heh.
photos another day! (:
i got to rush to the class gathering, farewell dinner for the guys who are going off to army soon.

「 bouncing away 10:18 AM 」

i made pancakes this morning! :D
but first, this was the lunch i made yesterday:
(hey i really can cook, lol.)

cute carrots and broccoli! but i don't like to eat carrots.
back to the pancakes i made just now. hahah.

first, go to the supermarket near your house and get the pancake mix. you can make them from scratch but its the least likely thing you would want to do first thing in the morning. i love betty crocker! the brownie mix is nice too. (:

there are instructions behind, though not very specific.
1 cup is around 16 tablespoons for the mix, and 237ml for water. so 3/4 cup is around 180ml. it sucks having to do math early in the morning.
i made 6 pancakes!

one ROUNDED tablespoon of the pancake mix.

you need a measuring cup for the 180ml of water, unless you're REALLY good at estimating. which, i'm not. heh.

pour the water into the huge mixing bowl which contains the 16 tablespoons of mix.

and then you whisk the water and the mix. you stir and stir and stir, until...

the batter is of a smooth consistency.
then you can take a look at the arm which you stir the batter with, should be able to see bulging muscles! hahah, okay that's too dramatic.
but really, where's a guy when you need one?

you need a pan like this. (: or something similar.

grease the pan with butter! in case the pancake sticks to the pan. you'll have a hard time washing up later.

pour a bit of the batter onto the pan and try to make it into a round, pancake shape.


flip the pancake over before it turns chao ta. hahaha, this requires advanced culinary skills okay! my pancakes look like roti pratas instead! but they taste like pancakes totally.

ta-da! you have a stack of pancakes for breakfast! :D please remember to buy maple syrup and not use honey. honey with pancakes taste awful.

there's always the easier alternative of walking over to macs and getting the hotcakes, though.

went over to darling's place yesterday. hahah.
played around with make up. we're so pro, we managed to achieve the smoky eye effect! (:
yay, going to do the same thing for prom later. qian and darling are going to come over later.
i had better go and make my house look more presentable. lmao.
