OMG.

im watching this japanese series called operation love, and the lead guy is freaking pissing me off!!!

>8X

ANGGRRYY!

the story is about this guy who grew up with this girl and they secretly like each other a lot. so this guy (IS HE EVEN A GUY? no balls -_-) is soooo chickened and didnt dare confess that he let the girl of his dreams marry another guy in the end. miraculously, on the girls wedding day, a cupid gave him a chance to go back to the past to amend his mistakes.

he fcuking went back to the past for 11 times (im guessing, since its 11 epi and im at the 8th) AND STILL HAS NOT CONFESSED!!

this is killing me!!! i dont wanna watch such a lousy guy, even tho its just in a movie. too bad he's cute, that kept me watching.. so im kinda in a dilemma now haha. watching a cute guy act, but very angry with his character..

ohh and the lead girl is sooooooooooo pretty!! :) guys go drool yourself dry ;)

anyways. this brings me to a point i would like to make. if i was the cupid, i would stop sending him back after the 3rd episode. cos he doesnt deserve the girl. seriously, HOW LOUSY CAN A GUY GET? argh *angry angry* and its so obvious that the girl likes him and all.. i just dunno whats stopping him..

EVERYTIME, he takes ages to mutter the beginning of the phrase, and -surprise, surprise- never failed to be interupted in the process. so much so that when he tries confessing before episode 11, i know that it will never happen. bah.

oh i hate ppl who gives up so easily and wallow in self pity! im an advocate of the phrase "you're never beaten until you stop trying" its soo true! and i dont mean it solely in relationships, but with life in general..

if i ever get into that phase, kick me hard in the ass pls! :D

thats all, to episode 9! hahaha!

ps: btw, this has nothing to do with anyone around me.. im just purely extremely annoyed at the character in a movie :p

Im writing this, lying on my tummy because I have nothing to do :) I like it this way sometimes. Just staying in and having some me time.

But the thing which got me writing this is the roller coaster internet connection. So lousy. The moment it connects, I feel so hopeful- like it finally works (again) and then the next min, dc. Annoying. Bah.

Listening to some love songs now, and it got me thinking- its been so long since I felt that way. You know, the eagerness of wanting to be with that special someone, the small quarrels followed up by a making up session, wanting to look extra nice cos you are meeting him etc.

On one hand, I really enjoy the liberation that comes along being single. As they always say, no commitments, no obligations. Talk/ flirt with anyone, and no one give a shit. Then there’s the whole emotional baggage thing gone, just poof like that. I almost had forgotten that my heart is capable of such deep feelings and complicated, incomprehensible emotions.
And if you found someone you really like, you don’t have to think at the back of your head, “but I already have someone at home (bf)!” (although there are people who don’t really care bout that)

But the thing is, its hard for me to find that someone. Im such a picky person (if you know me well enough, you’ll know ;p), and unfortunately that includes the partner. I have at most liked 2 person throughout my 2 years of singledom. I want to play around, but my heart wont let me. Boo.

And on the other hand, it would be nice to feel the love again :)

Anyways, enough about boring stuff like my nonexistent love life haha! Internship has been smooth-sailing.. as ive been telling everyone, I am glad to be learning something new every day. Another thing which makes me happy is that I meet so many people from all over the country, its amazing.

Been doing a bit (more) travelling during the weekends- went to Bournemouth and Cambridge for the past 2 weeks and am planning for more trips! Was thinking of cycling along the Jurassic Coast near Dorset, I trust that its just gonna be so amazing! :D Also going to Barcelona etc in Spain, and hopefully Greece.

Helena! Confirm your date! :P

Another thing which has been floating in my mind is how to celebrate my 21st :) I know, I know, people normally don’t plan their birthdays- they get “surprised” by their lovely friends. But its my 21st! I want to do something different! Actually I already have a rough idea of what to do, will update on that later ;)

It’s a pity that some of my good and old friends are in Msia (and Aussie) sigh :*( why la why. Complain complain.

Some photos from my trips in Cambridge and Bournemouth...

Ok the photos wont even load.. Till next time then!

- 1.32am -

2009-04-14T18:57:00.000-07:00

hey ho hey ho!

my third attempt to update, now lets hope this one goes up! ;)

its 3am now. woke up at 7.40am. exercised and by the time i showered and all, it was 11.30am. off to the library at 12pm. studied (not forgetting the occasional nodding off) till 7.30pm. walked back wanting to rest, but only to find myself drawn to the wonders of online shopping and the series i'm currently watching- how i met your mother. it is 3+am now (im amazed at my own energy level)(hey it was tough exercise okay!) and i plan to settle with a few more epi :P

sigh. but nothing can beat my fav series la.

SEX AND THE CITY ALL THE WAY BABY! <3

digression: almost everyone i knew gave good reviews about HIMYM, that sorta pushed my expectations sky high. alas, i was disappointed when i watched the first 3 epi. at epi 10 atm, it seems to be getting better tho. fingers crossed.

but somehow, it feels kinda weird watching lily in the show cos she reminds me of 'scary movie' ALL THE TIME. weird.

im in such desperate need for a pair of pumps and some nice shorts (or/and skirts)! the weathers getting pleasant these days- i can just go out with a thin sweater. whee!

oh! and its still bright at 8pm. brilliant! :)

ahh such is life during the exam periods, as you can tell from the lack (or nonexistent) of updates AND the mundane, boring contents if there is one :P

but wait, im not THAT boring okay! it is during this easter hols period that ive watched soo many movies in the cinema (i was a uk cinema virgin till about feb 09!!) and tried out many yummy restaurants.

recently, ive..

.. made pan mee from scratch! ok more accurately, mee hun ger. taught by helena who learnt it from her friend! omg it is soo yummy!! ;)

.. bought the new nokia touchphone 5800 express music after loads of haggling only to realise that i dont really like it after 3 days of using it (hence im off to oxford circus to return it tom :D)

.. uh oh. cant think of any!

my eyes are hurting suddenly! EEEK! it better not be another subconjunctival hemorrhage again i tell you! ;s

i know that was random, and i know this is such a pointless post with no pictures. but it will have to do for now.

off to optrex-ing..

till next time!

-3.17am-

2009-02-23T12:16:00.000-08:00

argh. this is super annoying.

why cant ppl just keep their thoughts to themselves? everything must comment one is it?

sien!

2009-02-18T06:11:00.000-08:00

am i on a blogging streak or what? sat till wed continuously..

"oops, i did it again..!" :(

i think wednesday is a bad, bad day for me to stay home.

-2.12pm-

2009-02-17T05:05:00.000-08:00

another memorable day-

today is the first day i opened a large packets of crisp without finishing it.

woohoo! ;)

concentrate, yvonne! argh!

-1.06pm-

2009-02-16T16:29:00.000-08:00

its really amusing.

how 3 of the most independent and smart girls (girl power kinda girl) i know can just get so confused over the pathetic and contradicting actions, words and excuses of some random dudes, i dont know.

HELLO BOYS, CAN YOU PLEASE MAKE UP YOUR BLOODY MINDS?

thank you very much :D

-12.44am-

2009-02-15T12:02:00.000-08:00

today is the day..

when i wonder who my friends really are,
when i start to wonder my expectations of life,
when i doubt that im actually living life to the fullest,
when i want to know the answer to lifes uncertainties,
when i refuse to finish up that tiny bit of problem set left,
when i question the true motive of being where i am at this point,
when i want to just go back to kay elle, back to the days that were.

carefree, innocent, spoilt with love.

today is the day when i want to do everything and nothing,
when i want to talk to someone and no one;

today is the day when emotions are overflowing,
today is the day of pms.

edit: or maybe just the withdrawal symptoms of comfort eating.

2009-02-14T16:50:00.000-08:00

of all the 365 days in the year, it HAD to be at a hospital that i spent vday- well, for bout 3 hours at least.

while i was talking to chea ming during MSS night yesterday...

"yvonne theres blood in your eye!"

...

...

...

i was like WTFFFFFFF! whathowwhowherewhen?

nearly cried while mich took a pic for me to see (no mirror mah! we were in the middle of a performance!). omg. my hands really turn weak when i see/imagine blood :O

it was sooooooo scary! :( never heard or seen any case of subconjunctival hemorrhage in my life.

so anyways, yes. thats the reason i went to UCLH for a checkup. gp said it shd clear in a week or two.

(A WEEK OR TWO????? HELP!)

living in a house of 7, of which 5 are in a relationship makes vday, well, vday :D clar and jun expressed their undying love to wyng and elaine by cooking them dinner. so xiong and i ended up syok sendiri and joined in the fun as well.

first time we bought beef steak from the counter (better quality) for £2.30 each. which is not too bad actually?

my chef for the night, thank you xiong! :)

our share of dinner- beef steak with mushroom sauce, lamb and brocolli :)
it was pretty damn good ;)

the guys preperation for the "big" night. wyng isnt suppose to be there! haha.

clarence's main (beef + lamb), HOMEMADE wedges (which i didnt try! everyone said it was damn good tho), and garlic sauced mussles!

juns ceaser salad!

and his garlic marinated lamb! :O

one side of the table..

and the other :)

or more like a double date with two big big lightbulbs! :D

a toast to (OMG) 2 years of singledom :)

-1.34am-

2009-02-11T11:49:00.001-08:00

i have a confession.

i might just have a disorder :0 dunno why it took me so long to realise though.

for those who knows, shhhh. for those who dont, good- im trying to overcome it :)

i have learnt one important thing from the past few days:

sometimes, all you need is a little bit (or more) of patience :)

2009-02-06T14:01:00.000-08:00

mummy requested for an update on the snowy days @ london, so here it is! :D

it all started on sunday the 1st of february.

"South-east England has the worst snow it has seen for 18 years, causing all London buses to be pulled from service and the closure of Heathrow's runways.

The Met Office has issued an extreme weather warning for England, Wales and parts of eastern Scotland.

By late Monday, the South East could be under a foot (30cm) of snow and the North East under 20 inches (50cm)."

Quote BBC.

So yeah, all of us were naturally excited, esp my housemates! This is taken directly from my window :D

*notice how clar and jun were conspirating to throw snowballs at my windows hhe!*

excited peeps :D

hahah! wyng looks like shes jumping here :P

Since i've just seen snow (lots of it in fact ;p), i wasnt as bothered to go out. Little did i know that the snowing lasted the whole night and continued throughout the next day!! :O

It was crazy, surreal if you must call it. Never in the world would i imagine london to snow so heavily, since its the city after all (and most cities are too polluted for the snow to actually settle!)

Yes, it was so heavy that uni was cancelled for 2 days! :D:D

Went to Regents Park! I'm so lazy to type, so i'll jsut let the pics do the talking :)

Bombarded with snowballs once reached! :O

snowman!!

its really funny to see snowmen jutting out randomly across the park! hehe.

bigger boobs you say?

it was soo white!

we played till it was dark, as you can prob tell :)

cant even take pics in peace! kena bombared again haha.

it was good fun ;)

tried this latin american restaurant called Las Iguanas at soho. Good stuff :)

crayfish cocktail for appetizer, yummy!

good interior deco, good company, good food, good price = great meal! :D

on a random note, wyng and i (and mich, but shes not here! :S) did our nails for cny! havent done that in a looong time! gave me the homey feeling.

thats it for now, ta!

-2.26am-

2009-01-31T10:19:00.000-08:00

because we are in the uk and thus will miss out on all the delicious cny cookies, darling michelle and myself have decided to make our very own....

PINEAPPLE TARTS! :D

YUMMAY! :D

who makes the best pineapple tarts? heh heh.

our third tray. i made the round and squared ones while mich made the traditionally shaped ones.

the long one at the bottom left? wyngs! hahah it looks so cute larr! :D

for this cny, my hse practically had a triple celebration season man! we had this huge party on the 17th (2 days before cny), a closer knit party on cny eve AND a dinner outing at chinatown on cny! then helena, eevien, nich and i proceeded to funky buddha for some clubbing!

celebration has been good! :) altho it is nothing like how it'll be like at home, who says we cant enjoy the next best thing right?

good ol' NH days :)

nimalan came!

eevien, su zen, xiong, wai kit, clarence, mich, wyng theng and myself :)

the lovey dovey couple, le hong and i!

haha must camwhore with our cny deco! :P

i shall continue with cny eve.. invited norman and his hsemates over for dinner. good friends :D

they made yee sang! im impressed with the boys ;)

we had good curry, fried fish, pork cutlets, mussel in cream sauce.. etc.

and thanks to wnyg thengs special request, norman made his sangria again! absolutely yummy! good food and good company = good cny celebration!

i was such an emo nemo last night. why oh why cant they just give it to me! complain complain. sigh.

ANYWAYS, right now im all dressed up, ready to go to hels place. her request: dress cute! we shall see how it goes :D

2009-01-16T10:50:00.000-08:00

ahhhhhhh, first week of uni is finally over! for some reason, it felt particularly long. i guess its cos of all the coursework i did last minute hhaha! but it feels good to finally complete them all! :)

so now, the loooong awaited update! been so lazy + lack of time anyways (ok fine we all know thats an excuse ;p)

im so semangated okay! right after coming back from uni at bout 5pm, straightaway went to screen all the pictures.. (im not even online for this reason!) and in the end i chose a whooping 123 photos! which is actually not bad la, for so many events! ;)

hmm, actually its quite lil.. have not been taking a lot of photos of late, no drive la! haha.

ANYWAYS.

realised that i have not updated at all about life in the uk ever since im here! so i'll start from then till the new years. be prepared! :D

the first big event (or thats what the pictures available in my laptop implies) is the kings clubbing event- SOUND! it was fun, danced till feet hurt like crazy! :) too many pics la, so heres a handful.

all da girls in da house! ;)

it was def fun getting ready, making up and all after sooo long! not forgetting the usual camwhoring haha!

we took ages, as expected ;P

with clubbing kakis.

the next one up is...

guess what?

hehe!

clarence's 20th buttday party! ;)

we had loads and loads of rounds. trying to make him drunk. (everyone was taking turns in kenaing him!) which he WAS in the end.. hahah! puked none stop after that man!

so sweet la he, kept checking on wyng theng even tho he's drunk! ;P

AWW! :)

PIMP DADDY! (who doesnt look as happy as he should be. too much, clarence!)

is this why??? *points below* hehe.

total possible combination of gay partners = 6!

it was my first time drinking wearing a speg top that day, which led to a discovery i would never found out otherwise- my back gets SO SO red and patchy (eww!) when i drink! :s

girls girls :)

a last pic before ending the night at almost 4am!

good fren since college days mr. norman came for a visit one day since he had nv been to my place. and lookie what he got me!! :D

lindt chocos are super smooth one, damn nice! :)

shit, couldnt resist it. one gone even before i would take a pic! haha!

then, went down to oxford for some conference (which is a total waste of time, so i'll skip it!) and to visit tzun tzins new house! its like freaking 3 floors with an attic to top it! :O

that was also the first time i cycled in the uk. cycled from his place to the city okay, which is about 15-20 mins far? the bike was a lil too high for me plus it was freaking cold, ESPECIALLY when youre cycling fast, and i was without gloves. my eye was tearing lots too!

digression: i chipped my nail ouch! i rammed into those annoying bars (to stop cyclists from cycling too fast in small lanes) and didnt realise till much later! ;S

BUT BUT BUT! it was super fun la! an experience cycling on the road with cars and all! :D

ttt and jun.
(i will refrain from using the words "gay" and "partners" :P)

met up with xander as well. finally! he brought me around oxford uni campus, which is so amazing i tell you! the environment is so conducive for studying.. every hall has their own library, dining hall, garden etc.

campus uni.. i want! pros and cons la :)

arhghg nice library.
stupid lse library is soooo cold sometimes! :S

see. i would make fulll use of the library if i was in oxford.

nahh, i'll prob die of stress! haha!

the door leading to the dining hall is HUGE! :O xander brought me to this mexican takeaway. it was sooo good and only £5! yum!

then there was a period where slug and lettuce had 50% off on mondays. and guess who stays just right above that bar? ;)

high school mates kwan huang and ding shyong! :)

wait!

ah this is a better picture!
his "expertise" on health related + other stuff is pretty amazing! haha.

we had the slug and lettuce platter which was highly recommended by helena! it was HUGE! i ordered nachos on top of that. sinful but good!

it was nice just chilling and talking to them two. good company :) we even had desserts each! we talked so much and so long that, if youre observant, you'll notice that we were there till dark. from bout 4 to 7+pm omg haha!

2nd major clubbing event, ENIGMA was a blast too! :) again, dont wanna put up clubbing pictures la so boring, so i'll just put up one lah haha!

wyng and i :)

childhood frens, grace and lilian came over to the uk to study fashion and computer science just last year. its amazing to know that we've known each other since we were in our mummy's tummy! we try to meet whenever we can. just last week we had a girls movie night with chocs and french toast (i had a sudden craving for ice cream, but couldnt get, so we had that yummy alternative instead! haha!). too bad the movie sucked. 100 girls.

but anyways, this is waayy before that. shopping at oxford street. we were in debenhams where they were promoting some new make up thing, called helen or something. whatever, haha!

so we had free makeover! ;p

cant see no difference! syok sendiri only hehe!

the lim, the hoe and the tee! our moms will be so happy to see this! ;)

i went for another free makeover thing at studio london with helena as well!

i tell you, the guy asked me what i want to do to my hair and he suggested curls. so i was like okay i just want the bottom curl, not too much. and he said ok. the next thing i knew I LOOKED LIKE MUMMY WHEN SHE GOT MARRIED! oh the horror! it was like an afro set up! :S had to straightened again after that. my poor hair!

so yeah. they used MAC. make up really does wonders i tell you!

so flawless right omg!
everything hidden under that thick layer of foundation :O

hel requested for smokey eye!

a random picture of a good msian meal in london. curry chicken, fish and all!

(OMG are the pictures ever gonna end?!?!?!?!)

hahha jk!

was invited to celebrate mr. ttt's 20th, for which he purposely came down to london.

ding shyong, ding nen, dian hoong and tzun tzin!

i think that its gonna be a tradition soon for him to have his bd dinner at a japanese restaurant.

im definitely not complaning! good choice ;)

coincidentally, all of us were from wms! :)
ok minus jun. *ehem*gay*ehem*partner :P

his bd cake which turned out to be quite a success, i would say! ;) i topped it up with brandy cream okay! i was so determined to bake a good cake this yr after last years one didnt turn out too good :S

happy happy buttday boy! :)

whats this?

me drinking some cocktail (forgot the name haha!)

norman with his equipments.

we even have a photographer for the day? O_o
psst, norman im taller than you in heels :D

haha, so yeah chea ming and i are involved in the accounting society, and the christmas ball is our single most biggest event! (we subsidised like what £15 per head okay!)

thank you for turning up peeps <3 onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_pdNgJiDIRNM/SXDqkbUe4vI/AAAAAAAAB2s/vITfPpnPY54/s1600-h/PC050141.JPG">
haha quite in the xmas mood right?

guys turn!

with adrian and khong chiu! :)

camwhore time :P

me with the cute and shy (in public only is it chea ming? *wink* haha!) couple!

the food was good (there was smoked salmon and i <3<3<3 style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 102, 0);">PRAGUE! :D

i was there from the 14th to the 17th, which means it was a 4-day trip. and boy. on the 4th day, i was missing london so much that i was ever so eager to go back! weird eh, i nv thought that i had such a connection with london haha! 4 days was long enough to visit most of prague, so im quite happy with the length of the trip! thank you to sue bee's friend florence who allowed us girls to bunk in with her during our stay! so kind! :)

so what can i say about prague?

well.. they put excess salt on their dishes! ALL OF EM! its a wonder they dont pass off as the country with highest percentage of high blood pressure casualties.

salty bread, anyone? :D
look at those white chunks on top of the bread! yes, its salt my dears.

FIRST DAY -

our first czech cuisine in the da vinci cafe, i think. or maybe it was leonardo cafe. i forgot!

nigel with sue bee :)

florence, myself and cheng da!

this is called beef goulash with dumplings, a typical czech dish.

its something like stewed beef with soggy bread. not too bad. but salty!
apparently home made dumplings are to-die-for! too bad the ones found outside are all factory made! :S

is it only me or is this picture eerie in a scary way? :S
yes, czech and their puppety stuff (which no one buys anyways haha!)

czech artsy stuff. i think it has something to do with the birth of christ!

we went to old town square where a pretty christmas market was set up! this is trdelnik, another traditional czech dessert!

its damn nice when freshly baked. basically its like aunty anne's cinnamon sugar coated pretzels! yummy yum!

SECOND DAY -

haha! we went to the outskirts and kutna hora on the second day, and i unfortunately left my camera in the room, so no pics :P which brings us to the..

THIRD DAY -

being food lovers, sue bee and i did not hesitate to try their open sandwich. it was pretty cheap at about 30crowns = £1. note that i chose smoked salmon again! hahaha! ;)

prague castle far, far away.
that was where we walked towards okay, no kidding!

the famous charles bridge which connects the old town and prague castle.

peaceful vltava river.
sigh my Olympus failed to capture its serene beauty la! i want a canon!

restaurant beside the river!

us on charles bridge, i like!
we didnt purposely positioned ourself for this pic, i swear!

this too! but this one might be due to the photographer la (ME ME ME! LOA lol :P)

appetizing?.... or not!
look at the black oil, reminds me of yao char kuay!

wow, never ending clusters of houses. whats even more amazing is that the structure and type of buildings differ so much at different sides of the vlatava river :O enlarge to see what i mean.

THIS is how far cheng da would go to take good pictures ;)

at golden lane inside prague castle where all the buildings are mini-sized, very cute!

the famous dancing house.
quite cool eh, a building with a skirt!

FOURTH DAY -

florence said that we just had to try another czech dessert called honey cake. its made out of oats, cream (i assume) and honey and is very similar to our layer cake back home in terms of preparation, tedious!

dessert, in the morning!!! but still yum yum. haha.

skinny nigel had two!
bah life sometimes! :P

something i couldnt resist on the way back to london. finished it in one go even tho its not as nice as it looks, damn!

apparently absinth is produced in czech! hahah i never knew that. hence bought a bottle for the house! ;) theres still half left!

le hong invited michelle and myself to his place since we have not been there. and boy was i surprised to see steamboat!

le hong and housemate :)

soraya! fishballs! oohh!

we played guitar heroes till late. it was fun! ;)

*BIG HUG*

highly recommended for students like us.

note the horrible suspenders.

i slept on the top bunk, very mafan!!!

roomies. what a crazy bunch, definitely ;)

there were so many cooks to serve us! i think the french do take a lot of pride in their food! :O

annoying santas who hogs up the dance floor. haha.

me with the dessert chef.
DESSERT DESSERT :D

french cheese is one class above the rest.
they can jsut take chunks of cheese and eat it like this.
im not surprised, its THAT good!

UCPA even organised karaoke session for us!

yvc and i damn sporting la, we were asked to sing some micheal jackson song by 2 french dudes. HELLO how do you even sing that song la! sure damn off key. but we went anyways :D

wtf :P

on top of the mountain!
guo heng, jared, myself and norman :)

proof that we skied all the way up to see the glacier!

ERR, actually i dunno what animal is that! haha! :P

on the last day, 4 of us went for our own mini expedition. it was a saturday and we only had the morning half left before leaving la plagne. altho guo heng being the adventurous one wanted to try the black slope, the rest just wanted to go for a relaxing ski.

and that is exactly what we got. went up up up and used nice, comfortable blue slopes all the way down. slope was good, speed was good, company was good. perfect way to end the trip la :)

it was difficult to believe that 7 days just passed like that in la plagne. no wonder ppl keep saying that its an experience of a lifetime. i truly agree. everything was taken care of: food, accommodation, equipment, entertainment. all we had to think about was which slopes to take the next morning haha!

that £500 was worth every penny! thank you to mummy and daddy who made this trip possible by funding it <3

and also to yvc who came all the way from USA. i wouldnt have gone if you didnt. so you made it possible too girl! ;)

here i am, after such a loooong time.. ;)

currently in the pmsy mood.. you know the times when it jsut doesnt feel right, when things dont go the way you want, when you feel like you ate too much yet cant control it, when you cant get something you really want..

bahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

and i cant elaborate, simply because i am feeling a myriad of emotions now..

dont believe?

im feeling whiny & mopy & disappointed yet relaxed & motivated, gluttony & bleah yet rather fit, dejected yet lucky & blessed, unsure & unconfident yet excited for the unknown..

..AND MANY MORE!

wtf is this okay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sienness.. when i feel like this, i am super unproductive.. and this is considering that i am already unproductive most of the time. double blahhh.

maybe i need the long awaited holidays.. but then again, i dont feel that i deserve it as yet.. the thought of owning blush + prague + skiing cant seem to lift me from this cursed mood boo!

damn this reminds me of my first year all over.. juggling with too many things on hand and feeling/ being too ambitious only caused me not to put enough focus on those that require it..

on a random note, i realised that i eat more in london because im bored. not bored per se, but i-would-rather-eat-because-it's-more-interesting bored.. seriously! its enjoyable and i get to plan what to eat when i dont feel like doing other things ie studying.. this then leads to another chain of thought too long to explain here..

on a randomER note, i want to chat with you! where are you?

okay, i can so feel the negative aura taking over me! i want to go home! :*(

sigh!

2008-11-03T17:25:00.000-08:00

ahhhhhhhh!!!

i want a boyfriend who can play and sing like thatttttttttttttt!!! ;)

- 1.33 am -

a pleasant surprise!

2008-09-25T05:36:00.000-07:00

it was 11+ this morning.. the doorbell rang- it was the postman. my kakak woke me from my slumber and said there was a package for me.. being me, who was you know, barely awake, i briefly wondered what the package was and told my kakak to sign it for me before drifting back to sleep.

:D

when i woke up, argh i was late for lunch with evie (sorry girl!) cleaned up, dressed up and immediately ran down to meet her hehe! and then, there lies -unsuspectingly- the dhl package.

it was from jon and enn swan!!

AWW! :) no wonder you were askng for my adress jon! i was wondering what you were up to! hehe!

after lunch, i opened it with my sis. from the touch of it, i thought it was a book! but maybe not, since its in a box! ;p

from my dear friends who are in the uk now already! thank you muahhh! :)

i read the card..and in the back of my head i kept remembering sth jon said bout a personalised book, with me as the main character, enn swan as my best friend, and jon as the vampire. and i was like huhhhhhhhhhhh.. ?_?

so i proceded to open the pretty box. and boy, i was right after all! a book! with an attractive bookmark as an addition!
"always remember to forget the things that makes you sad, but never the things that makes you glad"... i will!!

what i saw next made my sis and i squeal in excitement!

*
*
*

MY NAME IS THERE!!!

HAHAHAHAHAH!!

haha i guess jon meant what he said literally! its really so so cute!!! =3 sigh they are both so sweet larr.. knowing that i like vampire books.. AND im pretty sure someone sprayed CD's j'adore into the confettis? right right right? thats my fav perfume :)

so, a BIG thank you to enn swan and jonathan for this pleasant surprise! i really liked every bit of it! see you guys soon at the uk yea! *hugs*

(omgosh, less than a week left before im back in london!)

i took a gamble between telling the truth and fabricating it.

and it is true when they say that sometimes, not everyone wants to hear the truth.

- 4.00pm -

2008-09-19T09:22:00.000-07:00

have you felt poorer than poor?

omg, i think i have just watched one of the most emotionally exhausting movie in a looong time! in that 2 hours, i laughed like a crazy person, and cried like a baby (i am so extremely tired now!) seriously, you really feel the characters and the storyline..

which is why i think Jack Neo is such a good director.. he really captivated the emotional part of the audience, with the background music, shooting angles and what nots.. come to think bout it, ive enjoyed his other shows too, like i not stupid..

whee! applause to our fellow neighbour for his capability..

oh that reminds me.. ive watched a bit of love guru, and a bit of wall e. and i have to say that they are both thoroughly disappointing. love guru sucked BIG TIME. its SO CRAPPY to the point where i replaced it with another show. no idea why jessica alba acts in lousy shows like this and awake etc.

still not knowing what im talking bout? then watch this! i can swear its worth your time :)

-12.40 pm-

2008-09-18T06:57:00.000-07:00

sometimes i have so many things i forget to appreciate and enjoy each and every one..

now its time for some indulgence ;)

- 9.58 pm -

2008-09-14T10:29:00.001-07:00

oh my gosh, im so addicted to online shopping now i swear! everytime i promise myself it'll be the last window id open for the night, i'll go "aiyah one more wont hurt".

and yep, as you can guess, it goes on and on... and on and on.. and on..

its sooo addictive!! and cheap! and tempting! and inviting!

blah.

anyways, thanks for all the concern bout my last post, hugs :) everythings good now! its really not quite as bad as it sounds.. im not depressed or whatever dont worry.. just tend to sound more emo at that point ;D

so yea, i dont think most of you know how i celebrated my 20th, so here you go!

(omg looking back at all those photos just made me smile and laugh from the inside! :D wtf it was such an awesome trip!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you babes know i love you right! ;))

we were meant to go on a trip for ages.. and finally, we did :D

us leaving on our private jet plane ;)

HAHA ok this is real funny! i was in a picture-taking mode (ok since when am i not? :P) and asked lee kang to strike a stupid pose with me.

TAKE 1 LK: im not stupid why you ask me to strike a stupid pose.. tough one, tough one.. hmm..
YT: haiya, wait for you meh! (posed already ;p)

TAKE 2
LK: how??!?! i dunno what to do!!!

TAKE 3
YT: ok lets just point somewhere. stupid what.
LK (guessing from his reaction): youve gotta be kidding me!

TAKE 4
LK thinks: im only doing this so i can get away!

(fine now i think thats a very........ lame pose ;p)

snorkelling time! ive no complains this time round- the sand was fine and golden, water was oh-so-clear, and there are many small fishes!

oh except maybe i didnt get to see many huge fishes. the last time i went to perhentian i saw a whole school of huge fisheS!

:D

de lovely couple! nah give you more love <3 hehe!

(STILL NOT OVER WANTING TO LEARN HOW TO DIVE!)

anyways, i was contemplating if i shd post up pics of us in bikinis.. have to consider right, since its does not involve only me. but lucky you fen and teng gave their blessings!

by the jetty with the crystal clear seawater! omgggg!

ehem ;P

my girlfriends are so beautiful, inside out :)

(a lot of ehem, sexier pics which are not suitable to be posted up in my opinion! oh welll..)

by the hammock..

i love this!

now you see, i have this hidden power of blasting ppl i dont like away! so be careful! ;) ahah!

idea courtesy to jack!

if you squint your eyes, you'll see the word "dabian" (meaning shit)!

not easy to form a star underwater okay! dont play play with the current! hehe.

THE classic redang pic!

according to esther, this is another must take pic in redang! is it? ive nv seen this before tho!

fens uncle was so kind to offer his bottle of honey rum to us! yummmm.

it got us all high and in the mood! ;)

us doing our thing!

lets do the macarena!

awwwww, fen looks soooo adorable here! =]

and yea, on the night of 4th sept, there i was dancing and dancing (10-12am is disco time).. i wasnt expecting any surprise or whatever, cos in my mind i was already satisfied..

AND THEN, at the stroke of midnight (should be i think), the catchy r&b songs changed and the dj played the happy birthday song! :):)

there was nothing i would change about that night.. enjoyed every bit of that night, and i can safely say so (almost) all of us! :)

huggies!

ok thats all for now.. as usual, i took forever to blog this entry.. lazy already........

when i have the time, it'll be on the small bd dinner with the uk peeps at my place! :)

till then! ;)

PS: thank you for the trip, the calls (esp those from overseas!!), messages, wall posts, emails and card! a BIG FAT hug to all of you!

PSII: omg i'll be taking ktm fr the first time to seremban tom by myself! talk bout independence! hee.

i hate it when my mom makes me feel so guilty.

i hate it when i seem to spend so much time planning my days efficiently so that i can spend it with people whom i promised/want to.

i plan and i plan. it is never enough.

i am so effing tired of planning and maximising my days.

and then it seems as tho i dont spend enough time with my mom, my dad, my sis. did i even bother to question my moms health? have i ever been concerned if my dad left for outstation today? do i care how well my sis did for her trials today?

in the end, what are all those plannings for?

fuck it. this is a holiday. my precious holiday. and its time i sit back and actually relax and laze around at home.

i am not going out anymore till further notice. except for exercise.

sorry ppl, nothing personal.

2008-08-30T11:24:00.000-07:00

hi all! have been too busy running around to actually blog.. or more like, at this point, doing everything else seems more fun than blogging..

but anyway, these are some recent and outdated stuff, will write them as they come to mind :)

firstly, i would want to congratulate mr. lee chong wei (eleh, talk like i know him like that! haha) for getting us the one and only medal for malaysia. im proud of him. currently world no.1!!! *wah*

:)

ppl, give him a break la k. altho im not denying that he was badly trashed by lin dan in the finals, but he still gave it his best and tried to catch up. he didnt give up. it just wasnt his day- i thought he played quite well in the semi finals. after getting a feel of how hard he strived for the medal, i guess i wont dismiss our badminton teams so easily now by sayin how inconsistent blablabla they are..

the champion, much too strong. no fight la actually.

look like gorilla or not? HAHAHAHA ;p

secondly, i jsut cut my fringe! was getting ready for dinner at oriental pavillion. food was ok only. but thats not the main point! so ya, truth be told, i have been feeling very '%£%^$££^^&^%£$£$' these past 2 days. must be the pms.. its quite bad.. like i would actually feel the sienness, the uncomfortableness, the geram-for-no-reason-ness. it was jsut plain blah.

and so i proceeded to do something very impulsive. i didnt like my hair at that point- my fringe was annoyingly out of shape/unruly + ive been wanting some fringe, so off i took this hugeass scissors and snipped. voila, now its yvonne with fringe! :) i dont care if they say guys dont like girls with fringe. you guys can jsut go .... yourself :)

also, friday was my last day of work! there was a farewell lunch for me at rakuzen, yummy! i had the most expensive set, sashimi to unagi set. the unagi was damn good, whereas the sashimis were pretty bad. unexpected, cos i expected the opposite.

shao wei and i. my cousin actually. she def made my internship more fun, and introduced me to a couple of her friends ;)

it was suppose to be a team lunch! but 3 of my colleages (2 boss la) couldnt make it cos they had a last minute change in meeting plan :( so it was jsut the 5 of us. oh wells. work is work.

my team. young, wacky and fun!

i really love working with them. cme to think about it, it cant really be called work also HAHA. theyre such an interesting bunch of ppl. one of them, rizal even published a phtography book before!

i wrote each of them a thank you note. so in the end, i spent the last day of work making 10 cards. hahah! it was quite a bit, but it was worth it :)

so at 5.30pm sharp (as usual, haha!), i left cimb for the last time.. met up with carolyn and beatrice at the curve.. but i was soooooooooo exhausted from sleeping late the night before + waking up early on fri that i couldnt really concentrate. all i wanted was jsut to drop dead on my bed. i think it showed.. sorry girls! :S but am still pleased we met up!

pretty carolyn! it even rhymes! ahaha. the last time im going to see her before she leaves for canada. sighs. DECEMBER k girl? :)

beatrice, me, carolyn.

anways its like 4am now and im suppose to wake up at 8.30am for breakfast.

and im sleepy.

and my posts are boring when im sleepy since i wont have the mood the change the fonts/elaborate blabla.

so i shall go to bed now. nighty ppl!

will update soon, promise!

2008-08-07T10:12:00.000-07:00

okay this whole post is damn random la, but thats just cos i have loads on my mind.

*****

whoa, working life is bloody hectic man! no time to breath.. so cant wait for sept to come! :)

been maximising my days here, and i cant stop stressing on how much im enjoying myself back at home.. im so happy here, inside out.. family, close friends, good friends, relatives..

ahh, my loves <3<3<3

it confuses me sometimes, cos its not like i didnt have fun in the uk.. but i guess its cos im doing things ive been doing my whole life..

it feels good driving efficiently (since i cant help not driving to work anyways), it feels good looking at that lekor/taiwanese pizza/random clothes (the familiarity) store at pasar malam, it feels good spending the last part of my days watching tv and talking to mummy, it feels good wearing things i like to wear (omg so in love with minidresses now!).. etc.

it just feels good being at home <3

gosh, im such a family-homey person! just noticed that! (yes, im spoilt and loving it ;p)

and can you tell i absolutely love outdoor stuff too? i would go kayaking, trekking, rock climbing, camping anytime baby! funny combination eh! if only there was a place to camp! (DIVING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! when will i have the chance? :()

on a random-er note, one thing ive learnt- no expectation, no pain. try your best in everything you do and know it. be satisfied with whatever you have, and be thankful for that :)

so start counting your blessings ppl! dont be so greedy kay! ;p

hugssss&kissessss

Now that it's all said and done,
I can't believe you were the one
To build me up and tear me down,
Like an old abandoned house.
What you said when you left
Just left me cold and out of breath.
I fell too far, was in way too deep.
Guess I let you get the best of me.

You took a hammer to these walls,
Dragged the memories down the hall,
Packed your bags and walked away.
There was nothing I could say.
And when you slammed the front door shut,
A lot of others opened up,
So did my eyes so I could see
That you never were the best for me.

Well, I never saw it coming.
I should've started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I'd doubt you,
I'm better off without you
More than you, more than you know.
I'm slowly getting closure.
I guess it's really over.
I'm finally getting better.
And now I'm picking up the pieces.
I'm spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together.
Well I'm putting my heart back together,
'Cause I got over you.
Well I got over you.
I got over you.
'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through,
I got over you.

finally, over and done with 100%- im ever so glad, and free! whee! this, i swear, is gonna be the last you'll hear here :)

as su ping and teo once said, i deserve better, and i know it ;)

arghgh actually have tons to update, just that i cant find me pendrive for pics and my bluetooth doesnt work!! but soon, soon!

and oh yeah, MTV ASIA AWARDS ROCKED!

hmm, sometimes, things just turns me off immediately..

it could be that small little gesture, the unintentional slip of words. generally, some minor things people say or do (which i probably shd ignore but cant since im so sensitive)..

it'll make me go "eww, yuck, bleh, why did he/she have to say/do that?"

oh well, we cant control how ppl think inside..

that aside, ive been very happy and in a good mood this week! =]

PS: omg! i did an emergency break jsut now! can hear the abs working! ;S

2008-07-23T06:54:00.000-07:00

argh! i simply despise guys who judge girls based on appearances..

granted, how we look do affect other ppls first impression and all.. thats why we all want to look good! but sometimes it has gone way overboard!

for some boys, i would say, they are so shallow as to them the girl is either hot, or not.

HELLO! LOOK AT THE MIRROR FIRST WILL YA?

want to judge on us girls? i can safely tell you that almost all the girls i know are better looking than you!

hermpuuuhh! to all you stupid guys, dont be so naive la k! or you will get it when i shed some unwnated stuff!

bwahahahahaha!

2008-07-20T17:53:00.000-07:00

I HAD SUCH A CLOSE SHAVE JUST NOW AAAAAAAHHHHH!!

shit man.. you know how its like when youre on the left side of the road and wanna cut to the right cos theres no car on the right lane?

and so you accelerate, thinking you can do so very easily...

NOT KNOWING that the cars on the left lane have not moved at all (traffic jam lah okay!).

so accelerate = lane not moving = attempt to cut = NEAR ACCIDENT!!!!

i was shouting AaaAAaaAAhHHhHh in my mind when i realised that the car in front (of the left lane) was maybe jsut this close..

<---->

(1:1 diagram)

i thought, screw it. im probably gonna bang (not in that sense) her already anyways. so i just braked ahap (as hrd as possible).

my heart was beating damn fast. as fast as when i exercise.

and, thank xxx, i didnt! it was like: look right, accelerate, look front, AHHHHHHHH, brake, stop, sigh in relief, cut slowly towards the right lane.

im very sure i was damn close tho, too close for comfort :S

and with my over the moon heartrate + some shock (in disbelief that it happened & for my luck), i turned over to the left..

and saw the lady driver looking so nonchalant.

phew, luckily she didnt noticed anything.

i will be more careful next time...

oh muh god.

you know what? i think im going to be one hell of a workaholic in the future.

(AHHHHH NOOOooOOOoooooOooOOoOOO!!!!)

why do i say that? well, sometimes i jsut want to finish all my work altho its time to go home- 5.30pm yay! i'll feel kinda incomplete if i left my work halfway, so i'll be thinking, ok la do a bit more, a bit more, a bit more and A BIT MORE! argh!

this is certainly a sign. i can feel it. oh no.. my poor future husband!! :(

so yeah, yours truly has been enjoying her internship at cimb corporate finance dept! her colleagues are damn nice -and young- (can get along well la), her one-of-the-many bosses is so willing to guide her and let her be involved in their work, and most importantly, shes learning something new everyday!

im so positive hor! its not like im learning a lot of things everyday la, im jsut happy that im pretty productive :) been researching on the rubber and cement industries..

ESP these 2 days since ive got sufficient sleep so i dont feel sleepy in office. shit now i know the importance of sleep.

but anwyays yeah, just wanted to express my job satisfaction. i have a feeling that this is gonna be a good 2 months in kl :)

ciaoz!

ahh i just had a chat with one of my old old old ancient friend, and i just wanted to write it down, cos i enjoyed it from the bottom of my heart :)

to think that we only talk like once a year, but when we do, it feels like the old times again.. how nostalgic.

and i just found out one thing we have in common- we have/had close friends, and even tho we may not talk to them now due to our lackofinitiative/notreallykeepingintouch/whatever (since the last time we were close), they remain very very dear to our hearts.. the things theyve done, the stuff theyve said, some particular incidents..

you know what i mean right, im jsut too lazy to explain it properly, so as long as you faham, ok la! ;p

so yeah, i want you to know that you are someone i treasure as well, really! :) you better prepare a place for me to bunk in when i go to spore yeah! hehe.

*

anyways, some pics from cheer 08!

my goodness, you know how i know that most of us has probably outgrown cheerleading? its when we're too lazy to go all the way to bukit jalil for cheer!!

but but but.. thankfully, jia ning agreed to wake up early and go to cheer with me! :) even tho she was so tired from standing the whole sat! and im so glad jia ning did, cos i really enjoyed that day with her as well.

for those of you who dont know, jia ning is an even more ancient friend than the above ancient friend :P knew her ever since we were standard 2 omg! we used to stay at the same street too!

so yeahh, the day started extra early at 7.50am. dear jia ning agreed to pick me up (i cant drive for reasons too long to write down) and off we went to village park for breakfast.

OMG the dinasour milo there is schweeeeeet! absolutely yummy, yes its really good. my god, my mouth is watering now! haha.

i would kill for this.

and after that, jia ning drove us all the way to bukit jalil with her crv. =O

yes, you got it right. jia ning.. drove.. crv.. bukit jalil.. YES ITS ALL IN THE SAME SENTENCE!

i dunno, before this i really cant imagine her driving so far with such a bigass car smemore!! even i dont dare to do that!

but jia ning diddd!!

seriously, i cannot stress how amazed/ in awe i was.. and still am!

=O

jia ning doing her thang! salute!

but, since we didnt really know the way (eh its bukit jalil stadium ok thats freaking F-A-R!), we *ehem* took some detours along the way haha.

here! a video of our escapade(s).

at god knows where. i jsut remember us straining to find for road signs leading to sungai besi and sri petaling. it was a really, really long detour.

we went into.. noo, not bkt jalil stadium, but stadium hoki nasional or something like that! hahah damn funny! thought weve finally reached, since we saw a stadium and all, but alas, it was some crap hockey place, and blindly paid rm2 to enter omg!

it turned out that bkt jalil stadium was much grander and it was jsut right after the hockey stadium -_-

so we reached at 10.30am, missed sri kdu's stunners! :( (stunners boy team won 3rd place tho WOW)

dynamitez supporters.

we were there basically for only the first half of the competition, cos lunch break was bout 2 hours!! so long!! bleh. well, first half was pretty... okay. like okay la, nothing impressive. cheerleading? i also did before what! ;p eleh, like so perasan. jk la! hehe.

apparently, all the good teams performed at the second half!! sigh damn wasted!! oh wells. watching all these cheerleading stuff really made me miss it.. how i wished kdu joined cheer during my year now! but i tell you, it takes up damn a lot of time and energy.. like a lot. more than you could ever imagine.

when the teams were so bad, no offense la k ;p

after that, went to tgif for lunch.. gavin treated us! i doubt you'll read this, but thanks gav!! haha.

i love tgif man, esp the nachos! omg drools. tgif rocks!! ;D

couple in black <3 and and after that, went to gavs new place. it was a pretty place, i loved his study room. theres like a sofa next to the window where you can read books during the day or whenever theres sunlight. really pretty. and for some reason i thought it was a pretty romantic spot! hahah.

then we started chatting bout random stuffs la- relationship, sex, tattoos, piercings...

( I WANT A NOSE PIERCING!!!!! really really want it! mummy dont let! :()

to jia ning, i had a great time that day! everything was good, from village park to gettin lost to cheer to gavs place to seesaw. love you! <3

so yea, that summed up my day. sorry its a bit... flat. hahah.

i have an excuse!! its 1.35am and i have to wake up at 6+am!! arhghghg! ok till next time! :)

hiya peeps!

i had such a horrible morning! absolutely terrible! what normally takes bout 35/40 min to work turned out to be almost 1.5 hours! i was so effing pissed at certain msian drivers.

they dont have a care for other ppl i tell you! horrible. i horn them till they die.

ok la, not so bad la :P to prevent myself for practicing double standards (considering i sometimes cut ppl too heehee), i would like to clarify that i would NOT jump queue if the situation was really bad.

of course, i would find the shortest way to reach my destination, but..

i would NOT go against traffic flow just so i can reach the front.

and i def would NOT purposely add another nonexistant lane (by cutting right up to the front of the queue) and clogging the whole road when others follow suit.

so annoying lor all these people. EHHH YOU THINK WE DONT HAVE TO QUEUE ONE IS IT! YOU THINK WE ARE NOT LATE FOR WORK IS IT!!

so geram!!

but of course, there are like super kind souls who would often let you out of a junction, let you pass first or give you way.. they make my heart smile while driving. i will always like, raise my hands to thank them one :P

god bless them! karma karma! haha.

crap was suppose to blog bout cheer 08!! but now helping shir li with her blog templete! fun fun! so till next time la! hehe.

nighty ppl!

i can listen to songs and want to cry. bleh.

-9.32am-

2008-07-10T05:19:00.001-07:00

omg i think i just did the most dangerous driving ever! which was driving without my specs!

after work, went to get my daily dose of exercising at trop. as usual la, swam, then took out my contacts, and then only did i realised that i forgot my glasses!!! my eyes were already dry as it was, so i was like what the heck la, dont care. :P

besides, no one knows the road from trop to my place more than i do, since ive been there a gazillion times! come to think bout it, trop played, and still plays quite a big role in my life. the steam room there is to die for! :)

since my astig is so high, plus it was bout 7.30pm and the lights were on, i saw blobs of lights- from the cars and street lights- which were pretty!

ahhh, the little things in life.

whee! cant wait to see esther laters nyam!

*

anyways, i want to share a song with you guys.

No matter what you say about love
I keep coming back for more
Keep my hand in the fire
Sooner or later, I'll get what I'm asking for

No matter what you say about life
I learn every time I bleed
That truth is a stranger
Soul is in danger, I gotta let my spirit be free

To admit that I'm wrong
And then change my mind
Sorry but I have to move on
And leave you behind

I can't waste time so give it a moment
I realize, nothing's broken
No need to worry 'bout everything I've done
Live every second like it was my last one

Don't look back, got a new direction
I loved you once, needed protection
You're still a part of everything I do
You're on my heart just like a tattoo

I'm sick of playing all of these games
It's not about taking sides
When I looked in the mirror, didn't deliver
It hurt enough to think that I could

Stop, admit that I'm wrong
And then change my mind
Sorry but I gotta be strong
And leave you behind

If I live every moment
Won't change any moment
Still a part of me and you
I will never regret you
Still the memory of you
Marks everything I do

Just like a tattoo
I'll always have you

beautiful, aint it? :)

i feel so fresh, so rejuvenated now! like, nothing is impossible- the optimistic me is back again whee!

but yeah, go on and enjoy yourself, i sincerely wish you well. im happy for you (for that), its not my time yet anyways.

and for some reason, i believe in ships. :)

2008-07-09T08:21:00.001-07:00

ahhh. just let me sit back and enjoy this feeling :)

*the previous post was not meant to be emo at all yea! its just the way i write it! hehe*

i brought elaine to have some asak laksa the other day. its sold by a relatively young couple in the mid 30s on a white van, near paramount. i shall not elaborate on how good it is, it just is, esp after adding fish! :)

anyways, to get back, we have to pass ss2, and that was where i stayed for the first 12 years of my life. everytime i pass by my old house or even just the area itself, i find myself missing and thinking back of my childhood times- how carefree, how innocent, how very fun.

i remember my childhood friends like jia ning, simon, jia wei and caleen and eleene. we were all staying on the same road, so we always go to tuitions and whatever nots together..

for the first few years after shifting, i would still miss my old place terribly, secretly fantasisin of staying there again. altho it was small, it was cosy and welcoming. it was after all where i spent most of my time then.. its also extremely convenient, with pasar malams on mondays and thursdays, and all the shoplots within walking distance.

and i wondered, how come this feels so familiar? then it hit me. i miss someone as much as i miss my old place. its the feeling of growing up, knowing clearly that i cant return to the same place anymore, cos even if i did, it wouldnt be the same anymore.. but ive learned to accept it as it is.

that familiarity, freedom and happiness, i'll just have to keep alive in my memory..

just like a tattoo, quote jordin sparks.

2008-07-02T00:16:00.000-07:00

yours truly had jsut came back from her virgin trip to a place none other than

BANGKOK! :)

it has been my one of my places to visit in SEA since forever (which also includes bali, taiwan, hong kong) happy happy joy joy! still rmb the row i had with mummy when we were planning this trip.. but now its all worth it! i think all of us enjoyed ourselves thoroughly.

DAY 1

left with airasia (my current fav airline, so cheap!!) @ 28th june, 8.45am. bangkok is one hour behind msia, so we reached Suvabhavarti (or sth like that ;p) Airport at bout 10+am. immediately, we were ushered into a van which took us on a 40min ride to ascott hotel at sathorn.

only one word to describe it - amazing.

omg i was so impressed (yealah i know jakun la hehe) that i immediately took a video of it for sharing pleasure :)

(also, i thought i sounded a lil funny too!! :S)

anyways, here you go!

the lobby with very high ceilings.

cute weird shaped sofa
elaine, si yi (4th aunt), li yi (2nd aunt), and daddy.

my room for 3 days! <3

view from my window at night. we were on the 18th floor.

not wanting to waste any more time, we went for lunch at this restaurant called naj. the tom yam there was sooo tasty, omg im drooling even now! haha. i thought it was some high class restaurant as the whole meal costed us a lil more than 3000 baht = rm300. for lunch! and i thought bangkok was suppose to be cheap!! little did we know that that was the most authentic (and tastiest) thai food that we had throughout our trip.
the whole setting screamed thai that i couldnt resist a picture ;p

and on we explored bangkok with our feet. omg it was soo freaking hot, like really hot that everyone were sweating their ass off.

some local vendors along the road - there were sooo many of em!

a typical view of bangkok - its like this whereever you go, minus the posh places la like siam paragon etc (dont worry, more on that laters)

at the beginning, we thought taking the mrt was the most convenient and boy were we right! i tell you, the traffic jam can be really horrible during peak hours. my gosh. however, its much cheaper to take a cab there tho! can go anywhere we want with just 50-150 baht = rm5- 15.

the 5 person backseat combo (HAHAHA)

and i tell you, the sequence of our cab experience would be like this, always!

1) daddy will flag a cab
2) ask for a good price and asks if 3) is okay for them
3) ALL 6 OF US WILL FIT INTO THE CAB SKILLFULLY.

omg its extremely hilarious to me even now. often the taxi driver will express shock/ surprise that so many of us can fit into the back seat. imagine 5 ladies (we are not that small mind you) just routinely plop into the back of the cab (after some practise of course)!

we even had like a fixed sequence. si yi will enter first, then i will sit on top of her, then elain, mummy and li yi will enter accordingly.

went to one of the tourist attraction - chatuchak market at bout 4-5. wrong time. it was effing hot. but you know, nothing beats cheap shopping for elaine and i, but it was soooooo hot that my mom and aunties couldnt stand it and they kept suggesting that we proceeded to another place. aiyahhh!

it was really "people mountain people sea" (knowledge of mandarin required) !! i can imagine everyone being so dirty! hehe.

my mothers the boss, so when she says that its too hot for shopping, it is too hot for shopping (ok la, it was really hot but i would still shop lor!). went to another shopping mall called MPK, it in fact reminds me of our dear ol sg wang, except cheaper and more variety and less lalaness. bought 3 dresses there for rm65 altog, 2 of which are slightly too big for me boo!

then had dinner at the fifth avenue, some really cool food court (not like arena in ou) which im too lazy to describe la :P

DAY 2

woke up early again, had breakfast buffet at hotel. the omelet there is so yummiliscious, yum! :p after that went for a "cruise" around the chao phraya river, which was so bloody dirty as you can tell from the pic below. it was even smelly at some point, yuck!

dirty river, with random veges if you can see it hehe.

i like this picture of li yi on some cool looking chair!

me at the dirty river and speed boat on the left (that was what we sat on)

my new pair of flats, which was a steal!! rm20!! :)

on our river "cruise", we passed by the floating market (kononnya). its not a freaking market lor, only 5 boats selling almost similar stuff! -__-

we also stopped by this temple place.. we didnt get to climb up!!!!!! cos elaine was wearing like some speg top and i was wearing a skirt, so werent allowed to enter. omg. blah.

elaine and i posing under the scorching sun. so happy, so thai!

while waiting for our speed boat.
come to think of it, who would wanna commit suicide in such a dirty river? eww!

later later, we walked to the temple where the reclining buddha was laid (not in that sense you sicko!) it was pretty big, and apparently coated with gold (dont they all?)

with buddha face.
elaine so cute! :P

she had to wear mummy's scarf to hide the sleevelessness.

pretty paintings on the wall!

buddha's toes - all same length!!! humanly impossible haha.

outside the temple. i have NO idea why i struck a pose like that, dont ask :p

the gods guarding outside the temple im guessing. good personification?

take 1

take 2

after that, we left for the grand palace where the royalty lived last time. now no more, only left with lotsa tourists swarming around.

haha. again, improper dressing not allowed. improper being skirts above knee length, sleeveless, 3 quarter pants, semi transparent tee and the list goes on. so we had to pay a deposit of 100 baht each to rent some suitable clothing!

if you think bout it, its damn yuck lar. imagine ppl wearing it, then sweat like crazy and the next person wears it again.. eww!!!!!!!! my sis very kesian, have to rent the shirt somemore. double yuck!

the inside, very very pretty!!! :)

another prettier scene! everythings soo gold!

bling bling ;)

elaine with the "lian hua"/ bunga teratai. for those who dont know, my sis is yik lian and yeah, its the same lian as the floweR :P

look like or not?

reminds me of mew2 from pokemon laaaa! the hinds! hahaha!

daddy pass! ;P

dragon paw.

and i digress-

OH EM GEE! ascott must have have the coolest, biggest, spacious-est, nicest, complete-est gymming facility compared to all the hotels. it is SO grand i tell you. and each equipment came with a personalized tv screen with headphones and you can watch astrolike programmes in it.

*faints*

i only went on the 3rd day, regretted for not exploring it earlier, damn wasted!!

anyways, i was watching discovery channel and apparently, in china, the emporers dragon usually has 5 claws and it signifies that he is able to control the rain and all. and rain is very important for an agricultural country like china.

so claw = rain = more harvest = power.

and with some deductions (i dont take logic for no reason see! ;P), it might be the same in thailand and hence the claws i found there.

*

OH OH OH!! and the pool is sooo pretty too! i woke up early on the 4th morning especially to try out the pool okay! too bad the waters not too clean. and then i went to the steam room. they even had a posh looking bigger-than-your-typical-jacuzzi jacuzzi. too bad no time to try.

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.................!!!

everything looked really nice. it really felt like a holiday retreat at that time! hehe.

*

ok back to topic :D

so hot that most of us had minor sunburnt that day! honest!

visited the oh-so-famous siam paragon. something like klcc. nothing much to fuss about la.

at the entrance :)

there were like waterfall like this at every step. looked nicer in real life tho!

DAY 3

another shopping day, this time at the wholesale outlet called platinum.

6 floors of shops, side to side, back to back. it got me going crazy!

elaine and i were like ok move try buy walk see browse reduce price walk somemore. run- haha no la crazy meh!

things there were really cheap. some, not all. bought quite a lot of stuff there, happy :)

fruits to fill our tummy as it was past lunch hour.

at night, we were recommended this cabaret in which the casts are all aquas.

what does calypso mean anyways?

waiting for the show to start. exciting!

WAHHH prettyy! their body are all damn chun! but out of all the aquas (around 20-30), only 5 were pretty. and when theyre pretty, theyre really pretty i tell you!

DAY 4

it was spent doing some last minute shopping and there goes my bangkok trip! :*(

family picture at the sofa again hehe!

the ladies at the thai airport. boy was it packed!!! one whole freaking row for airasia man, salute!

bought the dress for a mere rm20! :)

some very thai deco.

now, who is that? ;P

omg done!!! finally!! 45 pics all up! all in all, i really had a great time in bangkok and i think thats one of the reason that i blogged it up- to share it with you guys. hope you enjoyed my experience by looking at the pictures too :)

thank you mummy, daddy, elaine, si yi and li yi for making this trip as fun as it was *lovelove*

also, after this trip, ive decided that it is not enough! i will definitely return to bangkok in the future. i can practically see myself with my partner having a romantic time there; or with a bunch of girl doing some crazy ass shopping. haha.

and damnnn, shopping would be so much more fun if i was skinnier :(

and EFFFFFF, results out so soon. i.dont.want.it.out. :(( dont ask if i dont tell k, promise?

hahah, okays im off now. up next is hels muffins and s3 mini gathering!

till then, hugs.

I’ve come to believe that what you see is not what you get, and sometimes, what you get not what you see.

You can’t assume that someone is behaving the way he is just ‘cause he seems like it.

Millions of things go through someone’s mind, hidden from others. You’ll never know what someone might be thinking of, unless he tells you (provided if it’s the truth, of course!)

To look beyond one’s words and actions, and truly understand. (and I quote myself :p)

Its not something easy to do. To understand someone, I mean. You have to invest so much time, energy, emotions and not forgetting the effort (which, depending on different situation, varies – for eg, if you would wanna understand your bf/gf, you would want to do it naturally and thus it wont feel like a lot of effort; on the other hand, if you were obliged to understand someone less close, it’ll take up more).

And, people change. After some time, you think you’ve put in enough to be able to comprehend the reason to one’s action, or seem to know and see through their thoughts. But no. we, as normal humans, change all the time – in terms of our thoughts, philosophy in life, character and sizes (ehem) etc.

And that’s why most of us, in fact, don’t actually really understand each other. Cause it takes up too much energy. Face it, not all of us have so much time and energy for that. It requires too much careful thinking and consideration. And some things/ feelings/ facts can be so easily hidden, unless you want to know someone from deep inside.

And because we don’t understand, we misunderstand. We misjudge their thoughts, comments and actions. And then, we spread our assumption to others, who will in turn continue our “deeds”.

To prove my point – that we often jump to our own/ other peoples conclusion – I’m sure you’ve heard, or at the very least thought, of these:

“You’re not what other people say you are, at all.”

“I didn’t imagine that you could be so easy to get along (cause you look so high almighty)”

“This experience is not how I expected it to be, it turned out to be so good!”

Of course, I’m not saying we shouldn’t expect, as only with expectations can one not be surprised by everything/ everyone around them.

Basically, what I’m trying to get through here is, please don’t pass judgement before understanding someone/ a particular situation. And if you think you actually understand someone, think twice. You might only be understanding what they want you to understand.

Disclaimer: This is purely what i think, my POV, my observation, and is not related to anyone/thing/incident directly.

elephant, camel and/or giraffe? ;p

pretty view, credits shd go to mich for her "skill" ehem ahaha!

eye of london in my eye! :)

and in hers.

(chilling in kims room. we were having a meteor garden marathon, which bore mich to death heh)

she looks DAMN FCUKING HILARIOUS here! hahaha! like grumpy, grouchy mr. potato! hahah. dont angry mich, its jsut this pic.

...

or not! hahah jk! :P

hahah. us acting cute all gone wrong!

i also thoroughly enjoyed myself at st james park with mich, jun and xiong :) everything jsut seem funner after the exams! hehe.

no point guessing who's whose :P

and who says guys cant pose?

poseurs .1

poseurs .2

us at buckingham palace.

i know la, cannot see the palace, we're more important kay! :P

one sakai and 2 gays! hehe.

you see how i spend my hard earned money!! to buy sweets and souvenirs for you! :P

lesbo shot! :)

enjoying nature! this was at greenwich.

THE MERIDIAN LINE!!!

walking down the observation tower.

on the way back. i was really sleeping (tired okay! meteor garden marathon remember? ;p); mich obviously not. can see her mouth curve up a bit! ahahaha!

walking up to the observation tower, where the meridian line was. oops wrong sequence haha.

2008-06-16T01:23:00.000-07:00

having the time of my life now! :)

due to certain circumstances, i gotta refrain from updating some -interesting- stuff. but no worries, in due time people! :)

anyways, been listening to "apologize" by onerepublic and all the david archuleta and david cook soongs! omgggg i think david archuleta is simply amazing- he's so talented lar!

all these talented ppl i tell you! they can really make you have goosebumps :P

anyways, i have been thinking bout how open i should be while blogging here. by open i mean open bout my feelings, my thoughts, what i really feel inside.. i mean, all these while, ive been quite straightforward, describing my feelings and all freely here.. and now im not sure if its wise to do that anymore.. you know la, people interpret things differently etc.

ahh whatever la :P

and just went swimming just now. it was really good :D

till the 20th, when i can blog as usual!

tata!

- 8.30 pm -

2008-06-07T21:29:00.000-07:00

im soooo happy! apparently, my stupid mini weighing machine from ikea is extremely inaccurate! like, it overstates the weight. so yeah, thats a super good news bwahahahah! whee! ;D

anyways, post exams period has been good. been chilling out a lot, walking and visitin london more than ever. but come to think of it, london is pretty small. after a while, youve seen everything, tried everything, so everything becomes so normal that you dont really appreciate its "greatness". its like tourist from around the world actually come to visit trafalgar square, leicester square, the london eye etc. and to us at nh, or maybe jsut me, these sights are what i see everyday, so much so that i dont even acknowledge these existence. oh well!

and i digress-

OMGGGGGG. ive been rewatching meteor garden with kim during the wee hours for the past few days. its really enjoyable to watch it with her :) plus altho some scenes can be really illogical + impossible (and their quite horrible dressing style), its still a good watch.

anyways, i love love love love dao ming si larrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! my idea of the perfect boyfriend (minus his bruteness) hahah. hes rich, buff, tall, so loyal and so full of love! so attractive, esp when he does what sanchai wants in the end despite his stubbornness!

i waaant! *pouts*

SEXAYYYYY! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
im so smitten with his character <3<3<3

haha yes yes, i know many of you are now thinking "eh this kinda guy doesnt exist in real life lar!" but a girl can dream, no? ;)

kim, our time WILL come. im so sure of it! haha :)

-end of digression-

so yeah, i have visited greenwich the other day with mich and xiong. twas good fun :)

ok, its 6 in the morning and i suddenly lost the semangat to blog. pics and more stories soon! till then, take care!

notice how much ive been blogging lately? stupid exams!

slept at 12 last night cos i was feeling so tired.. only to wake up feeling extremely horrible at 10 this morning..

ive never felt so affected by any exams before.. shopping didnt help, neither did sleeping nor eating.. nor talking and chilling..

where has all my confidence gone to? i remember feeling confident and good about myself, but that feels so long ago..

its like ive been sucked into this deep abyss of sadness/ helplessness.. im really at my lowest and most unstable state, at such a crucial time..

and so i called home.. talking to my mom really helped.. to hear her voice, i felt somewhat reassured.. and something my cousin melvin said about confidence..

so yeah, from now on, yvonne will no longer be so emotional and will try her best for the next 2 exams! :)

2008-05-23T14:45:00.000-07:00

and so exams has officially started- its halfway through already by the way.

never in my life have i screwed my exams so badly, and ironically, this is one of the more important ones to date.

econs paper was shit hard. like fcuking hard. like impossible hard. like wtf?

section A which comprises of 24 1-mark ques was okay, but sect B where they had 12 3-mark mcq was not. not forgetting crazy sect C in which 10 essay questions add up to 40% of the whole paper.

i practically guessed ALL the answers for sect B (save 6 which i actually attempted, and then still unsure if its correct) and left 2 ques from sect C blank.

and amazingly, i managed to keep my cool. before, during and after the exams. its like, somewhere in my mind, things will turn out the way they will..

but seriously, it was an extremely difficult and unfair paper, cos i dont see how some questions can be used to gauge our understanding and ability.

its like, it wouldnt make a difference if i studied more or less- the outcome would still be the same!

but im sure they'll skew the marks, no doubt about it.

and maths today was.. okay. you know theres like a good okay and a bad okay? well, this is more towards the bad okay. some ppl ie maths freaks found it easy (relatively). like wtf!!!! wanna smack them for "spoiling" the market.

3 hours was not enough man.

ahh and to think that i was aiming for first class! this is extremely disappointing!

sigh.

time to get some sleep then WORK FOR STATS AND LOGICS!

2008-05-18T18:30:00.000-07:00

this is very, very depressing.

its now 2.31am and im planning to sleep soon.

whats wrong bout that? you might ask.

well, im actually not sleepy at all- im gonna sleep out of boredom. and basically, i woke up at 1pm this afternoon, had some lunch, studied for an hour plus, and proceeded to sleep from 5-9pm! attempted to study again after that, but was very unproductive + sleepiness kicking in.

yes, even after sleeping so much :((((

these few days are what i normally call the "crucial" pre-exam times, when one would normally study like crazy.

what have i been doing these few days? anything but that!!!!

AND STOP SAYING IM HARDWORKING ENOUGH! im not! us at nh seriously chilled more than anyone! dont believe you can always ask my partner(S) in crime ie wyng, clar, xiong and jun AND KIM.

(wait, kim will say im hardworking)

so minus kim.

in fact, im doing the things i dont do normally due to exams ie have lunch in chinatown, facebooking, chatting and even editing my blog (which i'll normally not do even when im free okay!)

like, wtf?

BAH!

please, tomorrow, please just let it be a more productive day!! i need it! :(

some people will always talk..

they talk in a way to make themselves seem better,

and they talk in a way to change the someones opinion of another,

when they themselves are doing the deed.

so fake and annoying.

stop it lah.

挑一张耶诞卡写上

满满祝福的话

地址写的是心底

你能不能收到它

天有点冷风有点大城市宁静而喧哗

这一个冬天我得一个人走回家

问自己习惯了吗

没有你每到夜裏回声变得好大

有没有什麽好方法让寂寞更听话

你最近还好吗

是不是也在思念裏挣扎

你说会记得我还记得吗

有再多的牵挂都已没有权利表达

旧情人给的问候比陌生人还尴尬

昨天远了明天还长回忆模糊但巨大

这样的深夜眼泪要怎样不流下

你最近还好吗

忙碌吗累吗心还会痛吗

如果真不得已忘了我

快向快乐出发

2008-03-27T06:59:00.001-07:00

it has been some time since enn swan and i suggested to visit each other in manchester and london respectively.

after all the talk, i finally went down to manchester on easter day, both for a visit and to celebrate enn swans happy 20th! :)

for those of you who dont know, shes like my primary school mate from puay chai. yes, those were the days!!

enn swan with the easter chocs her aunt gave her.. too pretty to eat larr!

i still had one in the end :P

my first day was spent indoors cos i was feeling sooo cosy and all in her room + i didnt sleep at all the previous night.

so yeah, my trip to manchester starts DAY 2! :P

enn swan brought me to the city centre, which was like only a 15 min walk from her weston hall! so nice!! her hall is like my hall actually, so close to everywhere! lucky us (this year only tho for me! eek!)

they have trams in manchester! *jakunned!*

on the way to high street (where all the shops are!)

off we went shopping! shopping in uk is not fun at all as most of the things are ex!!! argh! ooh but there was this buy 1 free 1 sale at dp which was quite good!

but ive been spending so much of late, cannot simply spend anymore!!! :(

save money for trips!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

manchester with her own "eye"..

so many shopping malls in M!!

such a beautiful cathedral..

it was really peaceful inside..

i went in and immediately felt calm, twas a good feeling :) sorta made me wish i believed in god..

haha doesnt she look cute? huggs! 8 years, cant believe it!

after a lot of walking (we rested our poor feet at M&S- swan had this super good toasted sandwich while i had some super good smoothie yum!), we were both sooo tired that it was time to go home! yes, the nice comfy room!!

but by the time we reached home, it was already time for dinner! so basically we started to cook right after we got home :P

enn swan tried to cook her aunts custard and honey pork, which was a success!

nah proof! :p

she also suggested that we made dessert.. not jsut any dessert, but APPLE CRUMBLE!!!!!!!

OKAY BAD NEWS for you apple crumble lover out there!

altho it doesnt look very fattening, but i can safely tell you that it is the MOST FATTENING dessert on earth! omg! i practically used half a tube of butter + 15 spoonfuls of sugar for the crust! not forgetting the traditional custard topping! sinful!

our hands posing ahaha!

i was in charge of making the crust! notice how it looks breadcrumb-like! not easy to get that effect ok! at first it was too "wet" cos i put too much margarine, then too smooth cos i mixed too much! but it all ended well.. phew!

while waiting for our apply crumble, we had this!

believe it or not, my virgin ben&jerry's. one word- yummiliscious!!

tadaa, fresh out of the oven!

altho it was a bit burnt (only on the top tho i have to stress!!), it was so damn good! esp with custard!

both enn swan and i were so proud of ourselves lor! :)

next time who wants apple crumble, i can proudly make it for you! heheh!

slept at a normal humanly time that day, bout 1am? well, its an improvement!!

on my 3rd day, went to visit MU stadium + trafford centre!

ala, why rain la when i was visiting the stadium!

old trafford is the name of the stadium!

hmm, who is better looking le? (NONE!)

the only two names i recognise! :P

when i saw ronaldo, the person who immediately sprung to my mind was hel!! haha!

the whole team i presume!

i was trying to find one (JUST ONE) good looking fella there to pose with, but found none! so dont care la, just took a picture!

look! so cute, a path way esp for cyclist! hehe.

us on the way to trafford city!

omgomg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! my first time in a proper shopping mall after god knows how long!! it felt soo good you had no idea! :)

this one is big as well. freaking huge, can be compared to ou!

the first shop we saw upon arrival was jane norman!!!!!!! whee! its fated la i tell you! <3

im bridging between sizes 8 and 10 now!! :(

she bought this top we found at miss selfridge for only 12 pounds!! so happy for swan! :)

i dont care if i look fat, but i really love this dress!! it wasnt on sale so i wasnt bothered to check the price! :P

the grand entrance! so cool right! with the chandelier and all..

yes i miss the beach that much! ;P

the foodcourt is humongous! check out the "ship" concept, so pretty right! :)

that was it for the day! on march the 25th night, we celebrated enn swans 20th buttday at china city and proceeded to some bar after that! (no pictures from then cos its all in the other cams!)

i could tell that she really enjoyed herself that night, surrounded by good company and food! i feel really happy for you girl! :)

and if youre reading this, thanks for hosting me these 4 days yeah girl! it'll be my turn when you come to london next time! heh hehh!

ok thats all for now.. im back in london = back to studying mode. wish me luck!

-3.51pm-

2008-03-27T06:29:00.000-07:00

firstly, spring is coming!

NOT!

its supposed to, but the weather in london is still extremely cold.. and damp! i want my sunny days! i want blue skies and sunlight through my window!! dont think its gonna happen anytime soon tho, considering how cold it still is now!

anyways, the first highlight of todays post is that it SNOWED IN LONDON ON EASTERS DAYYY!!!! michelle was telling me on msn that its gonna snow at 9am and i was not really putting much hope into it since the snow forecasts are very unreliable.

but but but..

coincidentally as i was looking out the window at 8.57am, guess what i saw!!

SNOW

AND

MORE SNOW!!!! :)

ok i was so overly excited that time i crazily suggested that we go out to the balcony! i wasnt even sure if it was safe, but at the time, who cares la right! hahah. so off hel and i went out of the room, except this time it wasnt thru the door, but the window instead! ;)

snow is in the air! ;P

climbing back into our room hahaha!

it was freaking cold okay! jsut didnt have enough time to change! whee!

-1.55pm-

2008-03-23T06:06:00.000-07:00

my sleeping and eating timing has officially been screwed up!

now, 5am feels like 12am to me..

and lunch is at 4pm.

and sometimes, dinner at 10pm?

waaahh, without classes, i dont need to wake up early early in the morning anymore yayy!! :)

i have oh-so-fcuking-much to learn up its scary.

eek!

x_x

2008-03-23T02:08:00.001-07:00

ITS SNOWINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!! :DD

shit im late for my bus to manchester. till laters!

-9.00am-

2008-03-18T03:56:00.000-07:00

ive finally come to realise-
the only way for new things to come is to let go of the things which were :)

oh, and also..
things always always happen for a reason ;)

2008-03-15T05:15:00.000-07:00

omg, its so obvious i am on a sugar high! so dont mind me on the cbox kay! :P

(must be the load of syrup i added to my bubble tea just now! teehee!)

2008-03-15T05:01:00.000-07:00

whee, an update! dont you feel happy? :)

*okay i know i shouldnt say this, but am getting quite sick of my plain blog layout! ah blog o' mine, cant you just miraculously "zheng" yourself? :P*

after the loong hiatus, im back with loads, i mean L-O-A-D-S to blog.. aiyah, very annoying la, so many things to tell you guys! if only i was more hardworking!!

anyways, its 4am now and im waiting for my food to be digested, hence the sleeping late part! come to think about it, have been living like its the hols already, waking up at 4pm on thurs and what not! :S

and i digress-

LENT TERM HAS OFFICIALLY ENDED!

THIS IS LIFE YO! NO MORE WAKING UP EARLY FOR LECTURES BWAHAHA!! *wide smile*

i honestly think that im going to be more productive over the easter holidays. think "the secret". hoho!

i celebrated the end of term in my own way. firstly, dressed up a lil! unlike any other usual dreadful uni mornings when i just wear jeans, today i wore a skirt with black leggings and white killer open toe pumps! :)

killer because i never noticed that the heels were that high before.. 4 inches no joke le, and the whole day! O_o

went for lectures, then lunch, then headed over to rosebery for the first time with michelle dearie! it was fun! i loved the place. its single room, free bus to uni, catered and cheap all at the same price!! was quite tired, cant believe i actually dozed off while she talked to her bro for a bit. ahha!

this is michelle :)

proceeeded to meet up with (the lansi) ttt at oxford street. ahhhh so sorry i was late!! :s you know me la right, very mo.. hehe. he bought my FAVE moomoo's caramel shortbread milkshake. thank you thank you thank you! hugs! now not so lansi anymore hhe!

but still lansi! :P

and then it was to royal china to sorta celebrate dings early bd, since he wont be in london during his real bd! ppl who went were ding, dh, sl, sk, ttt, jun, sy, ist and myself. food was good, first time i had sashimi chicken!

-as i looked around the table at one point, i realized that almost all of us have known each since sec 1/2, and each of them had a history, a story with me which dates back to 2-7 years ago.. and to think that all of us ended up here, i just suddenly felt a pang of somethingness in my heart, like wow-

we finished at 10pm. too early to end the night right? plus a celebration aint really a celebration without a bd cake! so off sy and i went in search of that, while the guys went to leave their luggage at imp.

walked from leicester sq to covent garden, and finally found the puurfect cake! well, the most perfect one out of all la hehe! then sy and i walked omg what felt like a marathon to china town tpt, where the bubble tea there are highly reccomended!

just dont order sesame bubble tea. never ever be adventurous with something like that. ive learnt my lesson :x

soon-to-be-bd boi blowing his cake after the song!

"no no cannot! too near! go back abit!"

lousy lar! didnt blow all in one go! :P
notice our poorly placed candles haha!

the group of us :)

ding the bd bd boi and i.. he sorta looks tired?

HAHA you look so funny that i jsut had to post this up! and your hand looks like "the thing" in the adams family!!!!! hahahahaha!!!

somehow poor sk will always be in this position where i just had to glare at him one kind, then he'll be like, ok la ok la walk you back! hehe! so funny how things turned out after 8 years eh ;)

anyways, i should stop here. will update on sue bee and yi wayns trip down to london- our sex museum escapade & porto bello market, cheamings surprise bd party and the AMAZING, jaw dropping imperial m'night!

to keep you in suspense..

hohoho!

toodles! :)

2008-02-23T05:25:00.000-08:00

i feel so so sorry for edison chen after reading his public apology (from mandys blog).

now i wish that i never looked at those pictures, that i should at least have thought of their feelings before clicking the links.

if i ever had similar pictures of me distributed all over the world, and im someone famous enough to care, i would just die of embarrassment/heart attack, right on the spot.

after all, its what they're doing in private, so they're free to do whatever they want right, so why should we care and who are we to judge?

i guess sometimes, being famous is really not such a good thing after all.

2008-02-23T05:04:00.000-08:00

it feels goood to be awake and alone now, for some reason i cant explain..

the whole world is sleeping..

its quiet, calm, serene and its as though im in a world of my own..

as i look around my tiny room, i just feel so...

free.

2008-02-23T04:47:00.000-08:00

its almost 5am, and i cant sleep cos i just had one helluva big meal.

at 8pm.

cos i would like to believe that the later i sleep, the more i will digest, haha!

mummy was so right! she said my diet wouldnt work cos im bound to pig out one day. she just knew it, argh!

and today is that "one day".

just got rejection by jpmorgan after the interview, so impulsively opted for some comfort eating (which obviously led to something more serious! gasp!)

actually, i think thats just an excuse for me to binge.

i think i'll just scare all the guys away with my eating habit mann.. i had this light tuna meal at bout 6pm, and proceeded to finish half a bottle of nutella, had at least 8 slices of bread and half a bread pudding+choc sauce.

all gone, finished by yours truly

god, just give me a boyfriend to look good for please?

2008-02-17T04:27:00.000-08:00

my 100th post!!

everyone congratulate me! :)

i just spent my whole saturday at home. it feels great to me! i know it sounds damn weird, like who thinks staying at home is fun right? but i havent had this luxury in ages, and am thus embracing it!

woke up on my own pace at 11am, and went to work out in the gym! (i aint feel no thinner damnnit!)

came back bout 2+pm, then immediately msn video-ed my family, who are still happily celebrating cny back home! no fair!

bout 4pm, attempted to study... but to no avail! was like partially chatting online while doing maths.. man, ive really no discipline! :(

and i dunno what i did, its 3.02am now? but im feeling happy cos its been ages since i chatted with so many ppl and all! talked to many old friends and lse-ians! feels good to actually catch up once in a while. havent been socialising much hehe! and since i cant go out for lunches and all, the only other best alternative is to go online eh! hahah!

anyways, was invited to chris' open house last night. his new place is the bomb man! just 4 stops after king cross, and only a lil <100pounds a month! and the environment is lovely and his house is cosy and his housemates are nice (according to him). so happy for him!! :)

since it was the first big party since he moved in, he and his housemates invited friends over, and my goodness- there were so many ppl from so many countries!! when we first arrived, we met this japanese girl yumika (i think) who is a fan of malaysia and the malay language! thats definitely a first for me! she bombarded hel and i questions on msia which we gladly answered! our country, must feel proud right!! :)

also, besides meeting christelle, seb and puru, there were sebs housemates, their teacher and many other ppl la (from japan, korea, america and all over france) cant remember half their name after only one day, so confusing!! but it really felt like an international thing! haha.

sebs housemates
the girl is really quite open la, she was putting her leg up high even when wearing a skirt!

i passed my cam to this guy, suppose to take picture but my cam was in video mode, so vid it is! ;)

puru, me, french dude, christelle
i think the french dude is trying to hit on her! :P

then i was talking to sebs and chris teacher (forgot his name). its like, hes from costa rica, shifted to paris for a few years and since the last 3 years have been coming up to london once a week to teach! he even interviewed bill gates once cos he has some connections with microsoft! hmm. while talking, i was constantly sharing my big fat packet of crisp with him hahah, so that i will eat less :P

IT student-parttime-teacher, seb and his friend enjoying! (no idea who took this pic!)

hel and i are such lousy drinkers! both of us shared like an orange vodka and an orange malibu and we already got so red!! i felt quite horrible after a while, so went to puke in the toilet. (his toilet is so clean omg im impressed!!)

thats when i saw christelle and lucy (??) chatting on the stairs and of course, went to join them!
lucys from cannes in france and from what im told, its hot and sunny all year round and more importantly, its famous for its film festivals! shes seen johnny depp, angelina jolie and brad pitt up close before OMG!!!

and, shes only 17 and is actually on her hols.. i was so shocked cos i thought she was around our age, 19-20ish! really such a friendly girl as you know some angmohs can be stuck up sometimes! :)

pk, chris' korean housemate thinks we're like posing for some kinda band!

time passes by just like that when we were happily chatting and enjoying. it was a lil after 1am that hels and my "asian flush" receeded, and it was safe to go home! haha. before that, a group pic!

hel, i, puru, seb
.
.
.
WAIT!

of course, the pic wont be complete without the host himself! :)

all in all, i really enjoyed my time there. chris was so nervous at first cos there were so many ppl and he wanted to make sure everyone felt comfortable. but yeah it was worth all his effort! i felt more exposed to all the different cultures out there, and the things other ppl do for their own reason.

cant wait to go to paris during easter!!!

thats all for now, hugs! <3

2008-02-11T04:05:00.000-08:00

looking back at my ancient posts, it feels so..

nostalgic.

2008-02-11T03:50:00.000-08:00

ahh, omg.

finally.

after god knows how long, ive turned my blog (yet again) into a simple, basic and easy-to-read one. sometimes in life, the simpler the things the better :)

and omgomg, take a look at my archives! dates to waaay back since june 05, never realised! i amaze myself sometimes ;p

i am a free girl now! my last day @ starbucks today! haha, yes i can foresee your reaction by now- "but she jsut started riiight!"..

to keep it short, (starbucks = 20 hours a week > hours of lecture and class combined) -> not enough time = really slacking in studies -> nervous and stressed yvonne!

its no good for me, altho it was really a great experience working there! :)

my boss, antonio and i!

anyways, cny celebration was quite good here in london. being typical msians (you know laah), food will always be our main priority. so i had cny dinners on wed, thurs AND fri! (working on weekends boo!)

i was working on wed tilll 9pm as well. cant believe i missed the "hoi-chionging" of the cny eve reunion dinner!!

and because i was in a rush to go back, i slipped and fell on my butt in work while cleaning up! now if only my big butt was there for a reason. but nope, the fats didnt prevent my butt from hurting. it is not sunday and my butt STILL hurts! surviving with juns counterpain cream! :*(

anyways, this was what they had!

really malaysian food!

the chinese sausage thingie! lap cheong! and fried popiah!

hustle and bustle @ 3.22

i have no idea!

we then proceeded to juns room for some drinking session! i shot this smirnoff with jonson- only that it wasnt really a shot. was prob 3/4 shots tog. it really looked very little at the beginning (maybe cos the cup was big). everyone was like 0_o but i still insisted that it was little.

so after 10 mins, i became this.

cannot tahan le! the alcohol suddenly just went up and i was sooo dizzy! bleh, damn uncomfortable lor, so i went back to my room - only to watch gossip girls! *quite addictive la drunk also wanna watch :P*

of course, not going back before taking some pics!

thurs was night out for us! the 16 of us had dinner at golden dragon, and it was really good and expensive! hahaha! 20 pounds per person le! :S

chinese celebrating cny in chinatown with the atmosphere!

the early birds who were actually not that early ;P

hsienloong, jun and xiong doing their thing ;)

pork leg something something with the hair thingie! so cny-ish!!
bravo if you actually understood, haha!

my babe and i!

yisiin in cheongsam looking damn bloody hot!

the girls!

our half of the table!
jonson, me, hel, yisiin, agnus, loong, jun, xiong, zhuhann, frank

the other half.
frank (again), cheamingzhuhann, eevien, amanda, michelle -(huiyingbenny)

after dinner, we retired to my halls common room to play jonsons poker set!!!! buy in was 5 pounds.

i had the beginners luck man! look at my pile at first. lost all of em at the end!

i had the sudden urge for krispy kreme! maan, its so unhealthy living near tesco!
heart shaped doughnuts for valentines!! <3
the girls in the whirl!
amanda, yisiin, kim, cheaming, eevien, agnus, hel and i!

on the third night (youre getting sick of all the food arent you!), it was another potluck at holborn, and hel and i were suppose to cook curry chicken! did kapitan chicken in the end!

2 pots le!!

at that time, we really hoped that it'll turn out well, so we decided to..

"jaga" the chicks the whole entire time ;P

as usual, we were running a bit late. teehee, you know girls! we had to carry the two freaking pots for 15 mins to holborn okay! damn heavy! but when i reached there, it was all so worth it!

another totally-malaysian feast!

xiong, michelle, reuben, benji, kareen
food

TADAH, almost gone! everyone praised our chicken ok! :)

yisiin and i!
she has got to have the hottest body on earth la, seriously! big and small, at the right places!

i put this picture up for a reason. before going, i attempted a white speg top and my google jeans. it was omfg absolutely hideous. cant wear speg tops, hands too fat; cant wear tight jeans, thighs too big. even wearing a normal tshirt and skirt is not a remedy (as you can tell).

thus, today, as of 11/02/2008, yvonne tee is officially starting her first ever diet! not just any diet, but a VEGE DIET! only fruits and vege and water for a week, nothing else.

yes, absolutely nothing.

nothing you feed me shall falter my determination.

i am so sick of my bulging fats and ugly thighs and round face and fat arms and stretchmarks and spare tires. i know ive said that i rather enjoy food, but this is getting out of hand!

thus the diet. wish hel and i luck :)

okays, will update more soon! my god, hope i'll have enough energy tomorrow and not die of starvation! ;P

boo, why my font always so small wann...!

OH SHITTTT!!! put the wrong size for all my pics! so you have to zoom in if you wanna see properly! so sorry, jsut realised AFTER i finished blogging :S

why hello ppl, i'm back to blogging after god-knows-how-long! :) been crazily busy, and this is the first time in ages that ive decided to just lay back, chill..

AND BE RANDOM, just because! ;D

working at starbucks is really an amazing experience! i really do enjoy working there (if only i wasnt that worried bout my schoolwork! argh!). my colleagues are nice and friendly (except one/two whom i think are a bit... off), its not very tiring, i get to talk to customers, i get free food and drinks, i get paid..

AHH! if only my contract was 12hours, that would be purr-fect-to!

your barista-to-be! :)
this was before my interview!

haha, my camera skills, good right!

the day before my interview, 19th oct 07, was invited by norman for a sunway get together at his place! love his place lar! met up with xander there, his hair was long and curly omg! hhaha!

had fun catching up with them actually! by the time we went back, it was sooo late that the road was deserted. and i made ttt do this

ahhh, norman and xander were so sweet! they gave me xmas pressies!

first ever xmas pressies + card!

anyways, back to my job! apparently, starbucks holds their annual xmas party in jan (maybe cos xmas is like peak period for them to earn more profit?). so lucky me, get to go for it just after 2 weeks of working :p

thought it was gonna be some grand thing, cos it was at the dixie queen- a boat party along thames! even checked it up beforehand okay, and that made me expected more actually! you see for yourself, like quite high class right!

off i went, expecting a good meal.. mana tau, the food served were cold (!!!!) but still quite good for me la :P and it was basically like a clubbing event! argh! i want good food not dancing!

oh crap, forgot the name of the bridge!

it was quite enjoyable nonetheless! one thing i noticed tho: you know how when we jsut started uni, everyone will ask like which country you from etc; at the boat party, when we meet new ppl, we'll go "oh so which store do you work at?" haha!! funny yeah?

introducing...

ronnie, my asst. store manager!
such a lovely guy, sweet talk quite a bit tho! hehe.

ambrogrio - supervisor!
he has gotta be the most patient guy i know man, when i make mistakes or anything, he'll be ever so considerate and kind!

quite got "attitude" too- when we were seating down i asked him "not checking any girls out?", he went "oh i dont find them, they come to me".

when i heard that, i was like whoa! ahaha. suddenly so manly! :P but at the same time i thought he was gay (really, womans intuition!!) cos he kept hanging out with this other guy ;S

me, roonie, natalie!
natalies a newbie like me! shes damn funny, married at 28, but still wanna stay single! hahah!

ahhh, what a horrible day..

世界太罗唆能不能够放空失踪

是谁在我的背后说什么好像又没说

一颗心总被你悬在半空中难受

可是你又迟迟不说爱我

没有你我发现自己无法感动

是否当身边的人都变成观众我该做作

Oh you are the sunshine in my life

But I don't really know

需要你的时候感受你的温柔能不能勇敢说爱

关掉你的眼睛你的鼻和口 say no

如果你也能放下所有请你点点头

我的心只为你一个人跳动心痛

可你还能为我改变什么

也许到最后你还是要走

all i can do is to wait, for wednesday the 23rd of january..
