the sun still shines

2010-12-29T15:35:00.002+08:00

i better write this down before this thought runs away..

whatever happens, life goes on, ants kept crawling, stomach will still go hungry...

the sun will diligently shine the next day, bright and early

nightfall will come when the sun sets..

in a nutshell, life goes on.. so, take everything lightly, as light as a pinch of salt and pepper.. and appreciate whats here and now, coz whats here and now will never come again, not tomorrow not the next life, not ever.. it will be gone.. whats left are memories.. good or bad memories? you shape it.. its all up to you.. make the best out of life.. because, life goes on and on and will not stop..

ups and downs

2010-11-20T01:57:00.000+08:00

highs and lows
when you feel that things are going fine
or so you thought they are well and good

then all of the sudden they come crashing down
when you are least guarded
thats when you realise that

life's like that
something unexpected will happen unexpectedly
crawling behind you and
boo!

shock you to your senses
shock you to reality
shock you out of your reverie

that is life

in a world of our own,
dreams live on

but in this reality
life smacks you in the face
are you awake yet?

i feel

2010-11-11T00:35:00.000+08:00

'JIWANGGG' most of the time!!!

hate youuuu.... the one who caused this....

it has been

2010-10-31T18:41:00.002+08:00

a crazy past few weeks, really...
work's been hectic as ever and i felt as dumb as ever coz there's just so much to learn and perhaps im not cutout for the job, man... so tough, so tough...

on another note, well, ive been trying to fill my time with tons of activity, trying to stay normal and sane and be not jiwang, but failed miserably almost everytime. it has not been easy, but am doing good i suppose, given my current state of condition which is shittier than shit itself. hanging out or working my weekend away seems like a routine now. thank god for great frens and work to keep my mind busy as ever. it has not been easy, i dont know why am i repeating this, but yes, it has indeed not been easy.

but quoting the horsey in "Babe": i will work harder...

coz it aint easy living.

wot i need to do now...

2010-10-04T22:20:00.002+08:00

is to gradually let it glide and hoping it will fade away. to the extent i will forget all about it and hopefully start afresh.
had some light shed on me, heed some signs and deciphered the meanings behind them. i know wot to do now.

i am not saying its going to be easy. in fact, i think its going to be one hell of a period of time. only time will tell. yes, time oh glorious time...

i will force u out of my head or rather, hid u far far behind my serebrum so that its so hidden it cant be detected. yeah, thats where i should place you coz i dont know any other way than do that. just that for me to resort to. the residue of methods for me to use.

odd

2010-09-11T03:44:00.001+08:00

nothing's changed... why is that?
can someone shed some light on me? i am getting blurred here...

nothingness

2010-08-03T20:12:00.004+08:00

feelin low lately... heck, its lower than low. this time, its harder to take than the previous. i thought it would be easier coz its supposed to be a deja vu, but no, it is doubly hard n tougher than i can bear. people around me can sense and tell me im not looking so good. they know me better than myself. i dont know how to handle it anymore. i kept asking into the vast air, can u come back? will u come back? will it be the same again? ever? or this is it? of course there is always no answer to my genuine questions.

i felt like im being played. again, its self imposed, all voluntary, all mutual. but nonetheless this is not a good feeling. i felt like i am left alone here while u are over there so far away. have u forgotten about me? will u ever remember me? will i be the special one to u? will i? again, there's always no answer to my genuine questions.

baffled, im baffled by questions.. questions unanswered, longing for the questions to be answered, wanting to know so badly.

i dont know how long i need to wake up from slumber.. defo more than a couple of months like u expected. sory, but this is tougher than i anticipated and i dont know wot to do about it.

loved this song!!!

2010-07-31T16:10:00.000+08:00

L is for the way you look at me
O is for the only one I see
V is very, very extraordinary
E is even more than anyone that you adore and

Love is all that I can give to you
Love is more than just a game for two
Two in love can make it
Take my heart and please don't break it
Love was made for me and you

(trumpet instrumental)

L is for the way you look at me
O is for the only one I see
V is very, very extraordinary
E is even more than anyone that you adore

Love is all that I can give to you
Love is more than just a game for two
Two in love can make it
Take my heart and please don't break it
Love was made for me and you
Love was made for me and you
Love was made for me and you

why oh why

2010-07-25T16:53:00.001+08:00

is the reality so cruel?
in a world of our own, dreams live on...
but this reality that dawns upon us..
so cruel and evil..
indeed, i wish things were simpler

cruel yet unrelenting.
indeed...

its official

2010-06-20T22:29:00.003+08:00

thats beloved momsie who prepared a scrumptious meal for my bday ...
thanks mom and luv u!

i m officially 30 y. o!!!

by right i should have a lot to say and write about, u know, about my supposedly should-haves accomplishment and all that jazz..

but no, i actually have nothing much to say! coz, duh, i reckon i have not really achieved anything yet, apart from finally being an official legally qualified lawyer and finally have a car of my own to drive around. (yeah okay, some achievements also la)

but me being the ambitious one, always looking to strive for something more, am always wary of the stuff i don't know and not knowing enough. i m so green in terms of being a litigator, it stresses me out and freaked me out at times how much i have to learn and muster before i can call myself a lawyer.

right, perhaps next year this time i shall re-evaluate myself and see how much i know.

thanks everyone who came for my bday dinner. it was fab. cheesecake was divine, thanks bruv..

i can hear it

2010-06-15T19:44:00.002+08:00

wow, i can actually hear my head talking and reasoning my heart out !!
the head is really actually psycho-ing the heart to get the hell out of believing in something that is not coming out into anything at all. (duno if i make any sense here, no i dont think so, but i have to jot this down for some uncanny reason)

but yea, the moment my heart starts feeling it again, the head switches on its mode and tries to fluff away that feeling of pain by soothing it as if with tinkerbell's magic dust and says its not gona do u good in believing in that, get real...

its as if im stepping aside as a third party witnessing all these stuff happening between my head and my heart! wots wrong with me? shitters, am i dislocating my soul from my body already? arghhh...

the head keeps telling the heart, "its not gona work out. u are better of alone. period."

and the heart believes it with a heavy sad feeling dawn upon it, and say "yes i know, but i cant help it"

the head, "then i will have to remind you constantly until you actually believe it"

god, imma goin bonkers!

tan? tan my ass lah

2010-06-15T00:37:00.002+08:00

waltz into the private pool where not a single soul was there, i happily plop myself down on the beach chair and slather on as much suntan lotion as possible to avoid kena burnt...

slide my ipod on, blast it and read my cook novel.. (Mastering Art of French COokin) woot..

10 mins past.. 20 mins past... sweat started to trickle down.. i flip to the back...
time to bake the back... 5 mins... 10 mins.. more sweat..

soooo freaking hot! its not tanning! its sauna! i put my book down, dried myself, walked around the pool, and took a dip... aaaaaahhhh... tats more like it... swam easily 20 laps... nice... relaxing..

best part? no one's there.. so much privacy i think i own the whole condo.. hhhaaa.. no kids screaming or bitches around to check ppl out.. i feel so free.. felt like skinny dipping but think better not.. wot if there are perves peering out behind their balcony? hmmm.. no no..

after sun tanning (or trying to) for 2 hours... i am still Not tan! wuff? it was 1pm in the freaking hot afternoon! it was so hot i was sweating more than tanning...

(if you were here, am sure u are proud of me!... in my bikis n tanning)
i shock myself sometimes..

ok, tan again this weekend..
mayb not

a blissful afternoon

a relaxing evening

an infinity pool over looking MEX highway..
(oh, when can i own one of these units?) dreaming la elyne!

blissfully chilling by the pool..

being around bffs, toking absolute bollocks and laughing the night away, treasuring singleton to the core, doing mad stuff not giving two hoots wot others might think...

like this.. .
was a lil embarrassed to take this pic coz lil kids were waiting for me to take the pic and ask me to sod off.. me being so old, wot am i doing there taking pics of toy story's characters? haha, beats me. inspiration just hit me to take a picture for memory's sake.

partner in crime

i felt like an...

2010-05-18T19:59:00.002+08:00

IDIOT !!!

it hit me today and yesterday.. i felt like a complete idiotic moron!

how could i been so stupid and blind? how could i when they are staring at my face and i am warned constantly? i am blatantly blind... no more...

i m awake....

wished i hadnt wake up... damn.. this sucks..

all locks chopped

2010-05-03T18:19:00.002+08:00

yep, finally decided to chop of all my long locks after a year plus since the last time i cut my hair...

i was so nervous. to the max.

first of all, i didnt know which saloon to go to or which hair stylist i should consult. i felt like just cincai go into one saloon and just tell them "cut it short"...
i actually visited a few saloon and saw their hairstylist are all super ah beng and la la! all gold hair n spikey and all.. woah, scary..
i drove to bangsar, asked slb anyone to reckon, she texted me a name and in BV2.. made a beeline to it and phew am i glad.. she is the most senior of all.. i know i am in good hands.. i mean my hair..

bye bye long locks

i will certainly miss u!!!

all the hours spent curling and styling, fluffing and all.. aih..

feeling sophisticated in the curls..

bye bye long locks..

i swear, when cindy the hairstylist took the first snip, my whole body was numb!! rmbr thinking, habislah, there goes my year long hair..

she snips and pulls and measures and snip somemore..

wash it off

blow dry

snip somemore..

i get this

.
.
.

ok la boleh tahan la..

i feel young and cheeky again..
most of all, i felt light...
heh..

tho it cost a bomb for this haircut..

but it was comforting to know that i'd be in safe hands.. i mean my hair

i reckon it.. tawdally

homie food

2010-04-10T22:30:00.005+08:00

my little cooking bug has hit me again!
i felt like making a feast of yummilicious food on the table and serve hungry people (who dont mind trying my cooking.. haha)...

i wana dice and slice
fry and boil
toss and drizzle
fold in egg whites and bake a flan..

i am thinking... sushi or moussaka flan or salad or pate or banofee pie or pavlova or boeuf bourguignonne

impossible to make all at one go...

biiiii.. i want the Mastering Art of French Cooking book ah!! buy for me plssssss...

ark.. i shall see whats fresh in the market tomorrow and decide what to buy then...

its gona be a fab fab girly day tomorrow, (heart sundays that i dont need to work!) where i m gona teach 2 of my gfs to roll some maki sushi.. and yesterday i was flipping my colorful recipe books and wanting to make some other dishes too... and today been goggling some cool recipes too... but do i have enough ppl to eat my food? looks like tomorrow's lunch will be taken care of.. heh..
will post up my masterpieces, if i remember to take pics of them.. hhahah..

did i say i love sundays again? yeah woot!

open courto

2010-04-08T19:33:00.002+08:00

i finally went for my first open court case!
it was exhilarating and nerve wrecking at the same time. so many mixed feelings i cant even describe..
ok, this may sound abit childish..
" been dreaming for 13 years to step into the court properly attired (robe and bip) and actually conduct a file. and i did it today.. today the 8th of april 2010 marks a special place in my heart... *floats* "

but then, i had to blankly wait for 2 hours before the judge came to the bench! all the lawyers had to loiter around and were chitchatting to each other for 2 whole hours! not realising, or rather dont want other lawyers to realise i was the newbie greenie in open court, i was chatting nonchalantly away with a few lawyers...we chatted about the most mundane day to day stuff! god, now thinking back, i want to laugh..

me: woah, do u realise its thursday already?

lawyer 1: yeah, i know! its so fast!

me: yeah and u know thats why oprah winfrey recommended a book called 'power of now'..

lawyer 1: isit? whats that book about?

me: u know... power of now.. live now...

lawyer 1: oh ya ga...

hahaha, i secretly smile at myself ... and think, god, i can get used to this shit.. its like talking rubbish.. my forte.. hahahaha.
and all these while pretending as if i am one of the seasoned lawyers! i was very much jittery inside, thank you very much.. thinking i will screw up the file and lose the case or something.. but in the end, all went well.. everything went as planned coz i prepared myself last nite... wrote so much counsel notes macam go for exam.. haha..

but yea, i got the order granted.. yay!

good good day..

zis one..

2010-04-05T18:56:00.004+08:00

this la.. pic is not doing it justice lor..

loved the outer skin material... very nice to touch.. not like some plasticize material..

i know i am vain.. who cares! the pilot-counsel bag is cool! woohoo..

but then till now i have not had the chance to drag it in court yet... no case yet.. hahah.. defeats the purpose rite.. its sitting nicely under my desk now...

i bought already!!

2010-04-02T01:41:00.001+08:00

wah.. i got it i got it!

i finally bought it!!

a case i have been wanting to buy for the longest time!

woohoo

court attendance.

2010-03-29T00:23:00.004+08:00

this is quite random. but i dont care la! its meaningful! coz its the first time i am handling my own case on my own capacity! officially on court's duty after being called to the bar.... yeah, its been 2 months after being called to the bar. thats my first case in RKK..

was very very nervous, see la my face also froze already... when i nervous, i find it therapeutic somehow to take a pic at the loo... haha dont ask me why.. mayb i just wana remember this moment of nervousness of my first day as LA.. ok, random.. but i reckon i lookie not baddie heh..

ok, off now..

an eventful sunday

2010-03-28T22:40:00.005+08:00

muther chucker.. i k.o-ed again... the sick package had hit me again... last couple of days.. fever, sorethroat, cough, flu.. in that particular sicko order...

after endless hot lemon teas, 5 aktifast panadols, heckload of hacks sweets to soothe the throat, i am better.. only left clarinese for the flu not taken.. i vow not to take unless i am flushing out like pipe water.. hate this sick package.. argh!

however, after sleeping for like 15 hours on saturday, i am 80% revived! i am practically running around the house, making salad for breakfast while watching csi, did drafting for 5 solid hours and finished it.. yay.. then made simple dinner for family.. then ironed 153749 pieces of clothes piled up in the ironing room.. really, if i dont do it, its gona pile up till its 9845677544 pieces.... heck..

so its all done.. all my work clothes stacked neatly in my cupboard... happy as ze hippo..

cny 2010

2010-02-22T15:20:00.002+08:00

happy cny 2010 people!

have a good good year.. and yar yar, all the roar roar tiger year shit.. ok ok.. have roaring year ahead, whatever... and thats the last time i m gona say this roaring crap..

a brand new year will lead to a brand new start of something even better.

all i want for this year is only one thing... be happy...

life has turned out to be unexpected for me. there's sweet salty and definitely lots of sour and bitter... being content and happy is hardly achievable without great effort thus far... perhaps that is the meaning of life.

c'est la vie!

My LongCall day

2010-01-25T10:21:00.004+08:00

after toiling and grilling for 4.5 years of study and 9 months of training, i have finally got what i dreamed of to become since i was literally 15 years old! serious! this might seem bizarre and dumb.. but its real for me...

i had everything planned out just as i have imagined it to be...

i went to do my hair exactly the way i wanted it to turn out.. not bad... but a bit pricey, mom was yakking all the way bout the price.. haha.. but who cares! its once in a lifetime thingy can!

then, while waiting for the ceremony to begin, went to the loo and i thought well what the heck, why not a pic for memory sake! this is me with my bip and robe on my arm.. not too bad right! all black n white suit looking pro and all...hahha.. whatever la...

well, for those who dont know, this is how the court's loo looks like!

i wana thank everyone who made it for my Call day. it was a memorable and joyous one and glad that u guys are part of it.
thank u!

a brand new year...

2010-01-20T15:47:00.002+08:00

its 2010!
its amazing at the same time scary how time just zoom by... before we know it, its gona be half a year already.. wuah wuah..

ok, like every boring human being, i will hereby state my resolution for the brand new year..
mine very simple la...

1. obviously lose more weight (this seems to be intact every year haha.. )

2. be a good lawyer (if can...)

3. be a less a bitch (if possibly can obviously...)

4. make enough money for mom and myself... ($$$$ grrr.. nothing works without the $$.. fuck)

5. be healthy and pretty (i foresee a shitload of stress and unhealthy-ness coming soon)

6. bf, u ask? (aish, whatever la, men are hopeless anyway.. haha)

7. be happy (apparently very hard to achieve this.. sigh.. shall try)

oh oh.. i baked this.. cute right! for xmas.. hoped my nakamis liked the ones i gave them.. its a first time gingerman baking for me.. and one of a kind..

happie new year peps!

woohoo..

thats all folks

2009-12-02T01:19:00.002+08:00

well, it has been 270 days, working my ass off, toiling, OT-ing and driving meself insane to the wall!!

tough... really tough... but hey, there's nothing i havent or cant take anymore lah.. come what may and i will cruise along it!

chambering is truly an eye opener, eventhough its just supposed to be a training period.. i felt lucky in the sense that i was being thrown work after work. i suppose its coz ppl trust in me and believed that i can perform.... although being continuosly and constantly being thrown work at, i m surprised by my own ability to actually absorb and take in that amount of work.. this is smth totally new for me.. i can actually really juggle and multi task actual legal work! like in quadruple at one time.. totally cool...

i felt luckier in another sense, whereby i met my two nakamis... one known as geeky gal and one known as seriously unfrenly chap.. who would hav thought i can turn them around into sampatnessities and the best thing, u put 3 of us together at any one time, at any nook and corner, be assured that we will ketawa terbahak bahak not giving a shit whats happening around us... we will just do our thing.. our bahaking shocks me.. same ol joke told many times also we can laugh like gila babi siao one...
aih, shit.. im missing them... u know, u guys are like my shining stars, making me happy and fuzzy and warm inside.. for a while, my problems and emoness all melt far far away into the shooting stars... its better than having a bf! honest lor! without u guys, i would meltout like aluminium.... become a cecair tak berguna... aish.... sob.. i just wana say, thanks for sticking up with me throughout the good and sucky times... i really really appreciate it-more than words can say... u guys literally light up my life throughout the 9 months..

my mind is running a gazillion miles per second now... all the memories buzzing through my head.. how to sleep la, its 2.20am now.. im as wide awake as chimpanzi.. it didnt hit me that today is my last day till a couple of hours just now... was runnung around office handing over stuff and talking to partners and lawyers and seckies... BUT now, i felt like damn hollow, albeit happy of the new found freedom.. somehow its just not right.. it felt weird, like unwilling to accept the fact that i wont be working with u guys anymore, sitting merely a slap away and talking at the top of our lungs, not giving two fuckcios of the people around us.. its just great.. and i already miss that.. as much as i loathe the work sometimes, but the whole working ambience that we created was great, something im sure CA has never had before, ever! and now i wont be a part of that anymore and i miss that... oh, how i wish we could work together and be colleagues forever ever and ever..

this is from me to u guys:

learning can be
overwhelming sometimes
very much so
especially evolved from within

mind and emotions
yielding and unyielding

never wanting to let go
always looking
knocking doors upon doors in the heart
always seeking
memories from the past and present
i am indeed missing
such good times we have had...

***

oh wow?

2009-12-01T00:38:00.003+08:00

yes, wow is all that i can say..

my last day tomorrow of chambering as a pupil and i am still doing

'its so fucked up its funny'

hahhhaha.

yeah, life is just full of twist and turn and shit sometimes... u get screwed (not literally la!) left right center and still being screwed up down then they magically still throw work in your face!

its damn fucked up beyond words!

its so fucked up its funny...

and when u try to be nice and speak nicely and take in every bad/sad feeling you felt and stuff it inside corner bottom of your heart pretending everything will be alrite as you have been ill treated, the other side turn around and give u shits attitude and temper.. as if its your fault. all i can do is helplessly be a meek girl and let the the other party give you shitty treatment and still pretending everything is fine...

its so fucked up its funny...

i dont know what to feel anymore.. better yet, i dont feel anything anymore.. coz, no point at all.. either way, the outcome will still be same. just no point... point blank.. pointless... wats the point? none, thats what...

its definitely so fucked up its funny..

let life run its course..

but now still very pissed off.. $%#&&*(*$#@$

ok, gona club kau kau tmr to drown all these pissiness...

super swamped

2009-08-20T02:07:00.002+08:00

im being boring again.. whatever la, i just wana lash out here can or not... damn sick and tired already.... and i think im really coming down to fever or flu or smth... coz its been couped for such a long time already!

im just super swamped with work. i mean really swamped! imagine, i tried writing the number pieces of work to do and guess what! i have 8 pieces of work at hand not completed yet! and they keep coming! i mean, that 8 pieces of work is constant and new jobs kept coming! shit shit shit... i seriously think the firm should implement time cost man.. firm would be richer! not that they are not already riched!

so, its really shitty now... im getting depresser and depresser! why cant i finish the work? why so many and kept coming? and u know whats worse of the lot? its the plain fact that we are not appreciated at all! not at all! we are just documents churner! we just work.. learn? learn my ass la... put my legal mind to it? puhlease, fuck off far far away pls... u guys dont know whats going on in our sucky conditions, pls dont generalise and judge us.. u have no right to do that...

everyone has got their own set of problems, u butt out of ours, we butt out of yours.. simple as that ok!

i sometimes dont know what u people expect out of us.. we work hard, u guys say we tried too hard and its unnecessary.. we relax abit, say we have nothing to do... what the hell... u people are just weird mad to the max!

im just very very unhappy ... very...

a fun fun nite away

2009-08-15T01:09:00.004+08:00

okay, canot tahan... i have to post something nice and happening just to spice up my life .. went for a double long-call celebration of 2 frens... actually went for one, but then met another one there, so we partied together.. which is quite fun.. such a release to be able to dance all the stress off, temporarily lah and it felt damn good..

the babes..

now that i think about it, i have been chambering for 6 months already! wuah, thats half a year! time passed really fast it seems.. i dont even realise we are in the forth quarter of the year! 2009 sure zoomed by systematically..

reflecting, its been a crazy and new experience year, so far... so much have evolved and developed. 2009 marks the year of my personal embarkment into the legal profession with a proper career path. i dont used to think so much about career because i always think that its such a long to go for me kinda thing. but now i really have to indulge into the vast different kind of work and to actually determine what i want to do, whether i want to do this particular kind of work for the next 20 years of my life? do i? i cant even decide and make a firm decision, what more those younger chambies who seems to be so damn sure of what they want in their career. are u even sure? are u not just diverted because of the glamourised image of the work?

i have 3 more months to determine my actual interest. if i cant find my niche of work, i might just not practice at all.. why bother.... realised my ambition as a loyer, then i think i shall move on.. life is short.. make the most of it...

i have nothing to blog about!

2009-08-13T00:10:00.003+08:00

wafak! i have literally nothing much to blog about lately! i have a blogging block! my life is so flat, my life is so bored, my life is all about work, my life is lack of sleep..
damn depressing... damn sucky lor...

wah, ok, get a life!

hurrah!

2009-08-10T23:58:00.002+08:00

yippekiyay!!

i passed my ethics exam !! yay! yay!

u have no idea how damn relieved i was knowing i passed.. the call to check result was torturous almost... my hands were sweating, heartbeat rising.. yeah.. the whole works..

phew!

the relief!

no more, i vow! no more freaking frigging exam for the next DECADE!! blimey! enough already la pls....
dun wan the exam stress no more man..

ok ok, focus on work now..
yay! i passed!
woohoo....

sue's bday lunch

2009-08-01T17:59:00.004+08:00

ok, let me blog about something normal and NOT about work moi...

it was my darling sue's bday and my bro n i decided to treat her a nice lunch, a super yummie Korean barbeque that we kept talking about to her that made her saliva dripped for weeks.. haha

my outfit for the day...
(i looked damn lethargic, i know i know..)

shop is called Little Korea in Solaris@Mont Kiara..
its a quaint little shop upstairs.. with good looking foreign chaps barbeque-ing the porku meat and u just need to eat eat eat and eat em all up!
in fact, their side dishes are already fulfilling as it is.. plus the fresh BBQ meat,its just yummilicious to the max!

see? a very satisfied bday girl...

we were pretty stuffed...
actually 4 fellas can share the 100bucks portion.. only 3 of us were there, so we were pretty much stuffing our faces coz the food is too good to not be gobbled up clean!
(mich was not free to join us, if not it'd be ngam ngam)

thereafter, alex went back and me and sue went to plaza damas to walk around abit.. and indulged in my fav cuppa cappucino...
ah, life can be a bliss... for a while...

ok, back to work.. adious!

i is tired

2009-07-30T01:55:00.004+08:00

this is basically how we (the chambies) looked like for the past one week, and still looking like this now!
day in day out, in front of the pc.. tap tap tapping away...

my eye bags are getting heavier by the minute! my contact lense no longer can last 12 hours.. every blink hurts when i was still staring at the computer past 11pm..

it has been like this state of fatigueness for the past god knows how many actual weeks.. staying up late, lacking sleep or no sleep at all, pile on coffee on daily basis... gosh, is this all worth it?

i have been screaming my head off in my fb shoutouts, msn taglines.. everywhere basically..

simple, im just not happy at the moment... this is NOT what i had expected...is this how we are treated tho we are mere months away from actually being a lawyer? we aint nothing at all now?... we are merely the mundane soil of the ground... of no significance whatsoever.. this ironic consequence just flabbergaste me... makes me reconsider this profession altogether...

oh, pls let me find my niche of work pls... before i think of quitting...

exam! argh!

2009-07-18T02:17:00.003+08:00

and i thought i will never need to sit for any exam anymore after that dreadful CLP!
boy, was i damn wrong!

i have just finished my Professional Ethics exam yesterday...
it was so stressful i almost crack.. crack in the sense that its such an unnecessary and irritating exam!

today go lecture (lecture bored me to the deathly hallows) and the next day sit for the exam! though its open book, but still, the time is so constrained that i find it hard to even breathe evenly! i was holding my breath most of the time.. tension sia! and the speaker was babbling duno what shit all the time, how to focus? i just dont wana fail la..

after that 2.5 hours of non-stop writing, i felt such rush of relief! and i really hoped its gona be my ever ever last paper! i officially HATE EXAMS! the stress i have to put up is undeniably unnecessary and it bloody adds age to my face!

and whats worse? i have a pile of work waiting for me in the office! stupid exam...

on another note, HARRY POTTER ROCKS! though abit of a shortcomings towards the end and the storyline somewhat jumbled up.. the whole magical thing still works like a charm.. crucio! avada kedavra!

lumos is my fav spell.. hagrid is my fav character... dobby is my other fav weird creature..

weeeeee... cant wait for the final movie.. another year, dang...

i felt useful today

2009-07-14T23:34:00.004+08:00

monday was my first time appearing before a magistrate. it was a very thrilling experience, yet scared to the core too!

for the first time, i actually stood before a judge and spoke on behalf of my client! and helped him got a lesser sentence (i hoped) and hoped that he will feel remorsed and turn over a new leaf..

yes, we have all watched ally mcbeal, the practice, boston legal, and even legally blonde and chinese dramas court related.. but i can say that all that action on tv cannot even begin to compare to the feeling of standing there with my black and white attire and when the whole courtroom is silent listening only to my squeking voice...

frankly, i was shaking, coz there were lots of police officers listening to what i have to say and i was at the risk of being rebutted.. not to mention humiliated and scolded by the judge! but it was undoubtedly an invalueable experience money cant buy, drama cant watch...

best part, i had a new case thrown to my face on the spot and had to think on my feet ! translate to and from client to judge to police. all of them looking at me wei! imagine, what u say is deemed true and valid!..scary shit but hey, after that, i was all breezey and cool about it.. its not that tough after all... procedural and only procedural..

TV dramas? all tipu la puh lease.. no such thing... its not glamour at all.. no wig and stuff la.. its just another job..

and when the offender/my client said a 'thank you' and nodded at me with appreciation.. yep, i felt useful.. this is what all this profession is about.. helping the people...

cutie pie...

2009-07-12T21:56:00.004+08:00

aak ! this shawn shawn is big boi dy!! can play dy! i was at their house one weekend.. he suddenly so nice and was so sticky to me and alex! wah, we wasted no time and took pics cam-whoring, which is what we do always.. hahah

here, he was facsinated he can see himself at my internal faced camera phone.. (samsung rocks!) and he gave me a smile! precious wei..

i tried something totally radical with shawn...
his big bro was reluctant to do this with us when he was young.. so we try on his little bro..

heek! it worked!
best part, he can see himself posing.. hence the cute pose! loved it!

then we tried something crazier..

sticking out tongue...
wondered if he would play along..

.
.
.
.

it worked too!

isnt that the cutest thing evah!

not only that!

.
.
.

he layan alex also!

hahahha..
he made me sooo happie with his cutesy!

mom is okay dy

2009-07-06T00:36:00.002+08:00

we discharged home right after mom's platelet raised to 107... phew, the feeling of getting to go home was fantastic... home never felt so homey!

thanks everyone for your well wishes... deeply touched...

she's still weak, but getting better n better each day..

i am so semangat to promote 'kill mossie if u see one!' they are nothing but bad creatures...

"oi, smack that mossie will ya!"

"pls put on repellent"

"turn on the mossie killer machine pls"

"spray ridsect"

are among others that u will hear me yelling to everyone in my face..

careful everyone! take care of yourselves and your loved ones! KILL the fucking mossie and you have done everyone a favour!

the deadly mossie!

2009-06-30T14:05:00.002+08:00

i wanted to blog about my bday... but i m just too tired the past couple of days..

but the bullet to the tiredness and devastation boils down to the effects of a deadly mossie!

my mom is hospitalised (yes,is, .. still here) in SJMC for dengue... i never knew dengue fever could be so deadly.. the virus is in the body and refuse to leave! how stubborn is that! worst thing is, it last for 7 days at least or more.. and that 7 days, my my, is not something you would wana go through.. your immune system deteriorates like mad, to the extend my mom cant speak or walk properly coz she's too weak... and watching your loved one reaching that stage day by day is beyond devastation.. i felt useless, unable to share her pain or even understand her constant shrieking for help pain.. so what if i studied so much? so what if i am on my way to be a lawyer? i felt totally unhelpful amidts all the knowledge i have in me...

worst part is, even the doctors cant help relief her pain... they can only monitor her blood count day by day... the rest of the day? she is left suffering and fighting the virus all by herself! its like what the hell? doctors and lawyers cant help a meek mother in pain! and that left what? only faith in God that kept us going and hanging on there.. (thanks to everyone who prayed for her speedy recovery, really appreciate it)

never know one mossie's bite can be of such vast consequence... go to hell, aedes!

its the seventh day now, and mom's blood count is no longer dropping.. thank god.. im hoping and faithing in god that she will be better and better from now onward.. i wana believe that the worst is over.. bright and sunny day ahead of us...

thanks for reading peps.. GBU

i can not comprehend!!

2009-06-24T00:34:00.002+08:00

why why why???
this is unbelievable!
for the 100th time, i tried and tried to figure out a reason to still stay sane and cool about the working culture, which sucked big time!!

nope, cant do that no more. i m officially in a PMO mood!!!

i dont fucking give a damn anymore.. i thought this is worth it, but no, it aint worth it... i am in no mood to be the dust under the carpet anymore, i am soooo not going to keep quiet when i m wronged or accused.. know what i hate most? being accused when its not my fault at all! i hate that to the core... keeping quiet is doing me and other mates no good. i dont care anymore...

if u mess with me or us, watch out... i am not letting u off the hook... at all.

u are messing with the wrong ones dudes!

subject matter of the day!

2009-06-14T23:42:00.005+08:00

i cant believe it..
its a freaking gorgeous SUNDAY!! and i gotta get my ass up at 8am and actually dress to work! times have changed.. changed me into a workaholic that i am actually amazed at myself!

anyway, after working for god knows how many hours constantly, thank god for my sunnies, it became the SUBJECT matter of the day!! we cam-whored with it!

this is me, a sui pose first.. ahhaha

no long after that, ah jay poofed out from next table, grab my sunnies and put it on.
i wasted no time and grab my phone and went.. smile jay! chiak, snapped..

then ah jiung came! and put it on too.. her face too big for my sunnies wei! but damn cute..
smile! chiak, snap!

then i went, oh what the hell... come lets take a pic together..

ah jay sibeh yeng in this pic! looked like a pilot wei!
and with ahem *cough* "mascara hair" *cough* .. hahhah.. dun kill me..

ok, then ah jiung did an amazing thing that got me laughing non-stop..
she did a ju-on face! complete with her long fringes covering her eyes and hand gesture!!
wah, i almost died laughing.. hence the finger.. hahahhaa

i went: ok ok enuf of this ghost shit.. pose a cute one!

jay say: how?

jiung: har? canot la, duno how to do how veev did it...

i say: ok, just like this, point ur finger like this!

cute!!

ok ok, next.. look there!....

jiung: where?

me: there! dont look at the camera! point ur fingers! look over there!

excellent people! excellent! a couple of coaching and u guys are pros! sibeh happy somemore! fabulous!

seriously, without u guys, my chambering life would be unbearable and boring and unsampat i can die dot com!
u guys is da best !!!

i is okay

2009-06-11T22:59:00.002+08:00

frens kept asking me,

elyne are u okay?
why u looked so stressed?
why so pek chek?
why work so late everyday?

peps, thanks for the concern... really really appreciate all ya'll words of care... i really do...

perhaps i have lost myself in the whirl pool of work and the so-called professional line of work, which demands my utmost attention and focus on every detail.. The energy required to stay focus is so amass that had taken me aback inadvertently and transformed me into something i never knew who i was or who i can become..

i always felt, everytime i walked into the library, very overwhelmed by the amount of information contained in it and all of a sudden, i feel small and little and tiny and knowledge-less and dumb... that is the drive for me to strive and become better n better each day.... but somehow, the information-hunger in me has consumed me... has turned me into somewhat different.. yes, i felt it too...

this is bad, and when things go bad, its always time for reflection and correction and pondering upon what all these mean in life..

gimme time, i need a little time and space to adjust.. i'll be back in the game in no time... i promise...

GG????

weekend @ work

2009-05-10T01:07:00.003+08:00

another weekend has zoomed by again.. only this weekend did not arrive so quickly for me.. suppose to finish something, but was stuck in something else during the week, cant finish it no matter how hard i tried... therefore, i'll have to return to office on saturday to finish up..

amazingly, i still cant finish it... ! arghhh... never ending forever n ever!

i trotted into office prettily.. haha
but no one was in today (*shocked yes*), so i took my sweet time hanging around n do my thang in peace... no disturbance.. nice..

started work at about 2pm.. ok, went well for a while..

then

still trying hard to figure something out

start thinking, what am i doing here on a gorgeous hot saturday?? sigh... what a life a lawyer leads heh.. meaning, no life! and i am still not a lawyer yet!

i was flabbergasted at some comments some loyers said.. its just one lopsided opinion and too biased... uncomprehendable... quizzical...
bleh, duno wat to think anymore.. i am just dissappointed..

btw, i went home at 7pm! and there goes my sat.. bloody hell...

retreat to endau rompin

2009-05-03T19:52:00.007+08:00

when i first heard of firm's retreat trip, i thought, hey why not since i am new, retreat cant be that bad right. i am sure its comfy and fun...

when i signed up, i never expect to be looming over one creature i loathe most! LEECH! we were briefed a week b4 the trip what to expect. and u bet, leech was literally talk of the town! there are leeeches everywhere it seems, i even did the bimbotic thing and ask:

"will there be leeches in our bedrooms?"
and never, never in a million years would i expect an aswer as this: "i canot guarantee dont have"

i mean, what the hell! while sleeping also might get our blood sucked unconsciously? its insanely bogus! its a retreat for crying out loud! suppose to be treat! not torture and donate blood to the nature!

the whole week after that, i was terrified and could not rest properly at all.. i get teased at, get scared at... yes, leech was in my head all the freaking time.. hate it!! arghhh.. i was dreading the trip... but then, it was not all bad la.. leech was big part of it.. but the rest was rather cool i must say.

my darling roomie, hui jiun mui! this girl damn cute la! our sportswoman of the year! haha

our beloved abode no.4! blah!
the room was pathetic can! nothing but 2 very hard mattresses and a mirror.. thats it! no fan, no lights after midnite, nothing! and possible leech attack too! save me!!

this was our view.. not too bad.. its away from civilisation.. just nature and me... pretty cool actually.. no pda phone to mess with, no need to search for wifi whatsover with my itouch... just staring at the tress really brings about peace...

after we were roomed out, its lunch time before jungle trackking (*gasp! leech!*)
its vincent our new chambie turned LA.. nice to see u mate! we were so sampat i think we annoyed the lawyers and partners.. hahaha...

okie dokie.. i was considering to go or not to go! that is the question..
i was prepared with everything, mozzie repellant, mozzie patch, salt water, insect spray.. u name it.. i have it all.. but would i freak at the sight of the damn Leech? i sucked a breath of fresh air and went, oh what the hell.. come so far dy.. why not.. fear the leech, might as well face it right.. fuck it.. just go la...

our last attempt to act cute b4 walking into leech world..

and boy, it was some trackking! every muscle was working vigorously to pull myself up and down the jungle.. leeches! they are fucking everywhere!!! i was shrieking and shivering at the mere sight of it.. i was walking so fast and behind me was cindy goh... then see see... then chris! fuck lo, so many partners i tension sia!
i was speeding so fast so that leeches wont have a chance to land on me... hence neglecting the troop i guess.. ok, not good.. but then.. when u hear every 3 mins:
chris: "oh, i kena one"
cindy: "ok, everyone, stop a while"
adriel: "aiya, i kena also! wah so big!"

muthechucker! how not to run for your lives! if i stop, i am proned to get land on! so i was skipping or thumping while standing.. damn scared ok!

but can i say,
HENG AH!!!! I DIDNT GET BITTEN AT ALL!
my blood is still intact! hahhaaah..
jay! ne ne ne ne ne ne!!
coz i have my Power Salt Water as my weapon! muahahah!!
i saw a couple was crawling on my shoes tho, i quickly spray salt water on em... and off they slide...

the track was so worth la! we get to see magnificent waterfall! like more than a 100 feet high!
so cool sia! i can just sit there forever! and stare tat the rushing water....

ah jiun mui playing water already! wait for me!

it was quite dark when we left.. bout 5pm.. and it was drizzling! wah, adventurous sia!
i had a few tarzan moments.. hanging by pulling the rope! adrenaline rush kau kau..

the very brave rose rose our librarian!
she damn keng ok! as fit as any young peps.. kudos to her!

WE IS FINISHED THE HIKE!
best of all! WITHOUT A LEECH BITE!
muahhahhahah..
we damn proud sia..

and that, my fren...
is one of christopher's lovely leech bite...

thanks mom for my salt water..

daymn... its just work.. what is there to fret? but i do feel terribly drained each and every week... each day takes up enormous effort to pull through... why ah? how come? i have technically worked a heck lot of years before this, seen alot worse than this... but why is it that this time it is so much more brain draining? well, perhaps its the 'real' kinda work that i was looking forward since day one.. to be in this stage.. this position... this phase of my life...

but never did i expect it to be this over-bearing... its not that tough, bearable, but it could be better... if only the work culture is somewhat healthier.. people somewhat more humane... i wonder would that be a better occasion to work in...

i dont know... i can only wonder... yeah, we are the young ones, the fresh minds, the happening bunch that should be instilling a happy environment.. but hey, a tradition aint easy to mess with... and the transition will take a loooongggg time... its people we are talkin about... not agreements or circulars... we cant just churn them..

a Question i always ponder: would i wana be like them in the next 5 years? do i see myself in them???

well.... time will tell....

manic weekend

2009-04-07T23:26:00.003+08:00

i was having such a maniac weekend.. it was full of work work work and work... i got so fed up, i joined mom to head to ber ee house to look for my baby cousins and boy, i had my sanity returned in no time!!! it was such fun and full of laughter!

we pretend to be shocked.. haha he so cute!

he was running into my screen while i was camwhoring.. haha, he sempat flash his head and a smile too in the pic...

all these while, shawn was skeptically watching us 2 siao people playing n snapping away...
"hmmm, this 2 crazy fellas being stupid"

haha...

2009-04-04T14:44:00.002+08:00

during lunch time:

"hallo, jeh! mom say she is vomitting!"

"har? how come?"

"yesterday she stomach pain right? now she say very pain. she is on the way to hospital now. i m going out to see her now."

"har, oh my god, which hospital?"
i was trembling and worried and shifted uncomfortably on my seat

"i think ah jo sending her there now, let me check which hospital and call u back."

"ok ok... i will quickly go back and get my car... i wait for your call"

i was sitting across jay jay while waiting for our food and i stopped talking and i must have looked damn worried coz he was looking at me quizzically and kept quiet too....

2 minutes of silence later,

my phone rang again....

"yah, which hospital?"

"jeh, er, mommy hor, er, the hospital in taman kinrara"

"huh? what? i ask which hospital she was sent to?"

"she in taman kinrara la"

..............

"oh, WHAT THE...... U IDIOT!! BASTARD!! HOW COULD U DO THIS!!! ARGGGG!!"
(i refrained myself from saying fuck u, coz there were partners at our table eating lunch also... )

"haha, april fool jeh"

"...."
i hang up.

by this time, i was nearly to tears coz of the fear...
jay was staring at me all this while, not uttering a word, until i say, "i dont believe he did this to me! my own brother!" then he tried to comfort me to stop me from boo hoo...

no joke man.... i was still worried and sms mom to ask if she was okay, she say okay then only i resumed my normal mode to work... totally lost focus sia!!

stupid april fool shit.

bits n pieces in sg

2009-04-02T00:47:00.004+08:00

i had a nice time chatting with an ex-colleague in drew on that sunday..
she brought her little one along, which i absolutely adore! she smiles all the time! though mischief most of the time, but still adorable!
we were at soup spoon, savouring my cuppa cappuccino and chatting away, what a blissful moment it was... such carefree lot is what i dreamed of... maybe, maybe in 10 years times... sigh..

oh, these are some goodies i bought from singapula.. lovely loose powder, cool beige bobbi brown shadows for eyes, and CDs!! ori ok! haha.... rihanna n lily allen.. whats not to love about them heh.. been listening to it everyday!

okay, on something totally off the guard, see the pic below? its my new roomie!

Everyone, say hi to my new roomie....
timber strip flooring! just as i wanted in the exact shade of brown! oooh, such fetish!
i decided i wana put wall paper on one side of the wall, with cool patterns for a stylish effect.. coz i think painting one wall in a different color is so out now.. wall paper rules!

that's me, thinking what wall paper to put.. standing in my room-to-be.
if u stare harder at my sunnies in the pic, u can actually see how spacious the room is!
i is one happie girl with a new roomie! hua la la la...

2009-02-26T01:07:00.002+08:00

its as ordinary as it can get.

back to my humble abode, although my bed has been sabotaged-ly moved about while i was away (which i am still pissed about - stupid advisor, fcuk u!), still cracking my head how to make it MY room again, i kinda missed MY ol room. things should be exactly the way it is, not treat is as a rubbish dump since i m away for a year.
i hate the sight of my room now.
been trying to clean it, but i gave up after 5 minutes. i guess the heart is not there. i cant relate to this room. yet.

ait, promise i will get this sort out tmr after i wake up! i need to get it done la, coz my pupillage is starting in a few days time. damn, looking forward to it much!

this week has been good thus far, been catching up my beauty sleeping hours, catching up the drama series that i missed, caught a movie with a dear friend today, and now left with some catching up to do with my dear coussie and also with some other friends... thats it.. i m sure it will pass quickly before i embrace my pupillage/slavery moments to come heh.. haha...

take care peps
(im missing sg terribly!)

THAT's THAT

2009-02-20T01:19:00.002+08:00

well, c'est tout... je ne travail pas seulement! (pardon my french.. haha)
thats it, no more working already, for the time being anyway...

had the weirdest last day of work today.... the feeling was surreal....

i was walking extra slow today, from stepping out of the front door to walking the ever so familiar route to the train station, waited at my usual spot so that its nearer to the exit at Raffles, i was late, but i dont give a damn, i wanted to record every step of this familiar route i have taken for the past one year in my head, passing the money changers, smiling at the fliers distributor, smelling soya bean while going up the escalator, the free newspapers, the busy people rushing to clock in their work time... it was just an ordinary thursday, but i was totally mesmerised by every little detail that i came across. sigh... its like the saying, u never really appreciate the things u had until u lose it. yeah, i am about to lose my familiar route...

work was as robust as ever, still transitioning the stuff properly, saying goodbye to fellow colleagues along the way, chatting up 2 mins and got back to work, as i wanted to make sure my bosses are well taken care of.

came 6pm, some secky came and gav me hugs and their eyes start to water! gosh, its sooo saddening! after the third secky, my eyes became watery as well... man, i hate farewells!!!

i left finally at 7pm to meet ah teh for dinner ( i was late, again) and i carried with me 2 huge paper bags full of stuff from office. its my stuff, at my work station.. used to be..

beh tahan, hate farewells..... adious people in drew!

i didnt want to

2009-02-18T01:26:00.003+08:00

But it was necessary,
I didnt mean to,
But somehow it was not meant to be,
I hope u heal
Coz i m not better than u,
half past six
neither here nor there
confused
i didnt want to
But it was necessary
i can only hope
time will tell.......

my opit farewell

2009-02-18T00:43:00.006+08:00

but, this year.. we gonna cook ourselves, our mini mini family...

.

the ultra luxury plate of abalone, scallop, mushroom, all of which are best of the best in quality...
WE IS ALL LOVED THIS DISH!
we finished every bit of it...

thanks mom, for this yummy treat...

convocation.... for the last time

2009-02-04T01:07:00.002+08:00

i seriously lost count of the number of years i have been studying!
all the midnight oil burning, shoving facts and figures in my head, drawing endless charts, writing minute mini flash cards, smoothing huge piece of mahjong paper and making notes on it and tack it on my study wall, countless pieces of highlighters scattered on my table, magic colors, yeah, u name it, i have done it, all of the study techniques ever existed!

and somehow, it all boils down to wearing this squarish black hat! and that heavy black robe!

this is my last time (i think) for this century wearing the hat (its actually called a Mortar Board) and wearing that heavy black robe.... oh, no no... there wont be any Mortar Board this time.. only the robe.... coz its a practice cert...

at first, i didnt want to go for this convocation, coz most of my frens didnt go and one bloody convo ceremony costs me 450 bucks! so lame lah! the money factor already dims my mood entirely to attend it...... but then, mom gave me this puppy-hopeful-eyes that she wanted to see me on the stage, shake the king's hand and get that scroll...
one look at her, i went 'okay, i'll go... money i pay la... ok ok'.... that truly brought twinkle in her eyes...
'you know, u worked so hard to come to this stage, must go you know' ... yeah she is right lah

now that i think about it, man, i have attended a few convocations myself.. sigh, that just shows how long i have studied... degress, profesisonal papers... gosh, all my wonderful youth years!! all lesap amidst the abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz......

all i can say is i m kinda proud of my persistence and determination to see it till i wear that hat. glad i didnt quit.. nah, i aint quitter.. i m too stubborn to be one.... the more people put me down and ask me to quit, the more i will make sure i get to the bottom of it...

its indeed a frolic moment... im indeed cherishing and reminiscing the good times i had... i wouldnt be who i am if not for the years of toiling thru the jungle of books. hmmmmm, perhaps a masters' degree or even a PHd someday! that would be a dream, yet to be reached in years to come yeah...

i'll be flying back to KL for this glorious day (for mom i suppose) and back to work the next day..

oh, so very looking forward actually to embark on pupillage.. tough its gonna be, but somehow exciting and scared.... cool... adious peps!

cny 2009

2009-01-31T16:07:00.004+08:00

this year's cny, i initially only thought of getting a little bright dress for chor yat, and thats it... coz you know, people kept saying, times are bad, save money, bla bla bla.
Morever, i have gotta stash some cash to last through the 9 months of what i presumed is going to be a grueling training period. So, being liquidly viable is important...

so anyway, i got my 'yelllow highlighter' little dress for chor yat and i thought, okay, thats kau tim...

but then i was walking around chinatown in singapore that day with gor ee and andrea prada... and i gasped, whoopshit... i saw cheongsam!!! in pink! and its so affordable! no, its cheap! then i saw the chun ni blue one too!! wah, canot tahan and bought them... then i went, oih, chor yat yi sam also kau tim! so colorful too! happy happy me...

here goes my outfits... chor yat , yi, sam, sei

chor yat... pink pink!
its a pink soft silk with phoenixes pictures on it...
and a very affordable pair of bling shoes too!

this is what i think pink overload...
mei mei n jojo (aka andrea prada) bought the same pink cheongsams too... so nice right!

chor yi: went to old folks' home to give angpows...
i wore the blue chun ni's cheongsam top with jeans and not to forget my little gold handy pouch. i can stash a load of angpows there too! haha.
okay, though i looked a tad bit old in this color, but its very festive lah...

chor sam: @ genting
wore the yellow highlighter dress supposingly for chor yat.. wore with a red belt and leggings and stripy scarf to keep warm, oh, and the hot pink japan designer bag i bought from hk...
froze my ass off coz its a damn silk dress! brrrrr.....

and chor sei... @ ber ee's open hse...
a little dress i bought from bugis... simply throw on the red belt and leggings too...

had a good time collecting angpows needless to say, haha... but i guess this visiting relative day in and day out is getting redundant year after year. maybe coz we have out grown the festive season already. it used to be an excitement to buy new clothes and waiting for angpows and chatting up with relatives. But the thing is, i ALWAYS meet up with my relatives every other day! chat sometimes via msn or fb! seeing them on cny just is not that exciting anymore! or perhaps we have other obligations and plannings and other endeavours...

sigh, where has the excitement gone?
isit because of the plunging economy?
tadak mood already?
double sigh..

anyho, gong hee fatt choy everyone...

kiong hee kiong hee

2009-01-09T11:52:00.003+08:00

i finally went to the gym yesterday night, after endless procrastination and reluctance... its like the body refuses to do what the reasonable brain tells it to do!! yesterday, after much persuasion from LJ, dragged myself there... sigh

true enough, my body is still aching from all the stepping up i did in the gym.. i did the exercise for like wat, a mere 40 mins and i actually felt a tad bit giddy and lethargic!! talk about aging!! cant really fight the age huh.. gotta admit, im getting old! arghhh... after gym, thank god aunt sub picked me up, went home, ate some dinner and crashed on bed.. never felt so tired in my life wei!

even now, i m still feeling aches all over... man, i gota buck up and go more gym sessions to boast stamina for cny...
oh, i have finally cancelled my gym membership! no need to pay anymore.. but i can still go for a couple of months.. KL awaits my return wei!! muahaha..

ze one...

2009-01-05T00:04:00.005+08:00

im psyched!
i got the better one than both of the phones !
i have got it all baby!! muahahah
ze RED samsung i780!
how bloody cool is that! its just cool and sexy... i was worried that the black one might look too macho for me as it is a very business-like guy's phone!!

but woohoo, i managed to snag a RED one! which looked wayyyy toooo cool... and i gotta have it... i walked and walked SimLim Square wt ah teh for a whole afternoon today searching for the red one... so many stalls dont have the reds! damn.. finally found one and quickly grab it.. no time to lose...

i am one happy girl!

cant stop playing with the phone... load this load that, copy this and that.. so much function so much fun to learn to use it.. gosh, me and my sexy Reddie.. we can play all day.. hahah

i780 vs E71

2008-12-30T11:38:00.004+08:00

i am sooooo torn between these two sexay babyies!!!
and i am so tempted to get one of these phones, but i dont know which one! have been reading reviews and researching and even asked around the pro n cons on these two... but i m still torn, they are both equally good and have got their own uniqueness.. but you gotta love the qwerty keyboard...

ze samsung i780...

i liked its interface.. super cool, with mouselike pad in the middle, complete with a stylus also for some touch screen features.. screen is ass big and clear! cant let go this thing once i got my hands on them!

only drawback is the 2.0 mega pix camera sucks and a wee bit bulky for a girl...

but hey, its cool... haha.. how how how

ze nokia E71...

this is super sexy.. the color itself is a plus plus point and so girly and sleek! liked the look of this.. user friendly with good camera

drawback, button a tad bit small, screen small and i dont really fancy nokia phones somehow, been out of touch with it for the longest time ever!

well, price wise, they are almost identical... and i figured now it boils down to which one i liked and fancy best.. shit, im just so torn.. pls help leh..

off to more research and reviews...

christmassy present

2008-12-28T16:40:00.003+08:00

i thought this year, i would bake some nice delish choco muffins to give out to my colleagues as xmas presents, which is a very christmassy pressie and warm too!!
the firm i work in has got this culture of giving gifts to every colleague or to the colleague they wana give gift...

so, ok, i bought tons of baking stuff, so excited to bake and decorate nice nice... and pack it nice nice..

see see?
bought so many stuff to bake... complete with pink n green icing to decorate the muffins and choco frosting too!
i set to work mixing and measuring and baking...
turns out..
.
.
.

tadaa!!!

these nicely baked muffins, complete with new muffin cup i specially selected! i even planned to tie a gold ribbon around it and packed it with a nice christmassy plastic...
BUT...
turns out, IT TASTED HORRIBLEEEEE!!!
sighhhhhh...
so sad la, had to throw it away..

'elyne, u turn around la, i settle these muffins away for you.." aunty guy say

"har.. ok la.. say bye bye to my choco muffin...." i retort

sigh...

merry christmas

2008-12-24T09:46:00.004+08:00

its the season of giving again.. christmas time....

cant believe its been a year and its ending!! kinda sad to see the year ending.. couple of days left and bye bye 2008...

well, reflecting back at this year, its been surreal... lots have happened ... inter alia, passed the craziest exam ever created - the CLP and that could be the single most satisfying achievement in my life currrently. Gosh, i cant imagine having to fail this paper then sit for all 5 horrendous subjects all over again!! i might as well just get married and be a housewife... haha, yeah rite...

i also have been working in singapore for almost a year now, first time me away from home and working in a foreign country. well, everything worked out pretty well as i am able to blend in the singaporean culture and practically be called one too! pay is cool and buying power is cooler! bought countless pairs of cheap shoes and bags and loads of other stuff too... shopping heaven really... i dont shop as much in KL as compared to singapore. i have been here a dozen times since young, but didnt really get into the shopping scene until this year! how much i must have missed out...

first time to be under the knife, aka operating room, under the round white lights and all that boo hoo shit.. i was operated for acute appendicitis.. very serious la.. stayed in hosp for a week.. on liquid diet for 5 days.. endure much post operation pain... lost 4 kilos... gosh, terrible time sia.. i could have died if i was sent to the hospital one day later. *shudder* and i wouldnt have been able to blog now or talk or date or practice law or do anything! then again, i might see Jesus if i m dead and live happily ever after wor! hahaha.. whatever la, now i m alive and kicking, i dodged death and realised life is so vulnerable coz u never know what will happen next. i learned to treasure and live life as colorful as can be and never take anything for granted. i always bear that in mind.

been in and out of a sucky relationship this year too. well, i m still staying strong and standing tall after all the hoo haa drama that have happened and made happened. Though it has ended, but that does not mean that i agree with how it ended. In fact, how it was Made ended was despicable and totally irritatingly Hitler-ish... its so abominable and appalling that it made me boil to my tee whenever i think about it, however slight. One thing is for sure, i am taking control of my life now and nothing can change that. This petty life is mine and no one is to stick their nose at it, thank you very much. nuf said.

There you have it, 4 highlights of my life this year... roller coaster ride alike heh.. i like to believe that i am stronger and basically a changed person. i am gonna be more dynamic and take charge of come what may.

Merry christmas and happy new year 2009 everyone.. God bless

HK - places of interest

2008-12-18T00:31:00.005+08:00

everyone, let me introduce you to my very very very good friend!
been her friend for a couple of years dy..
i hear her out everyday, seriously everyday...

my good friend janice!!
see la, i so beh paiseh, i went cam whored with a wax statue!! everyone else just stood beside her and took pic from afar, can see whole body.. and yours truly had to do the crazy thing and took a pic so near as if she is ma friend.. i think i freaked moo out.. haha..

how not to freak la, 2 years ago i went to the same place and NO janice!! this time janice is there!! that just shows she is soooo damn popular in HK lor..

i know she looks silly in this can-can dress, thats what makes her original, aint it? oh, no no, she is not that tall.. there's this high and big ass box that lifted her statue.. she is pretty petit.. looks so real, coz well, i have seen her in person and shake hands with her during her autograph signing few years back.. she looks exactly like the statue!! got me really excited and was humming her song all the time sia... haha

and hor and hor, i saw janice's billboard advertisement everywhere! she's this spokesperson for this slimming product..

i went mad and took a pic with the billboard..
oh, my janice!! so pweeeetyyy...

kei kor!!
he is just sooo handsome and cute!! cant resist to do this crazy cam whore thing again.. moo just looked hopelessly at me.. well, who says cant do that wor.. in fact, after i did it, other girls did it as well la..

meryl streep!
one of the legendary super talented actress.. loved her to bits..

Leon Lai.. so kampung boy sia..

ah sa and ah kiu..
they are so skinny! their outfit? urgh..

the batch of pictures are some sort random and i only post those that i think i look good la...
i cant be bothered to chronologicalise it...

@ times square..damn freakish deco.. dont understand the artsy freaky decos...

my other sunnies, cool or not? retro sia.. haha

@ ocean park: people, please dont bother going ocean park in future.. its a waste of time and money.. not to mention its geographically inconvenient as you will have to travel so far from one end to the other, and the stuff inside are somewhat lame! go if you have kids 5 and below, teach them about animals.. if not, go shopping in causeway bay la.. dont waste time..
pic above, panda who kept eating bamboo leaves and wouldnt do anything else.. lazy little puckers..

bored with real panda, took a pic with this panda pattern bag in a overly priced toy shop..

@ victoria peak - night view.. gorgeous

next batch pics below, we were at shenzhen.. at Little People's Country.. walk walk walk, see china in miniature form.. wu liao and fun in a way la.. we walked sooo slow, but still got lots to see but we were too tired..

they are literally "little" !!
i looked like a giant towering the houses..
that's actually a village, few hundred people living in that village and hence they know each other basically, having a feast or some sort, thats why so many 'people' gathering..
i was holding my urge to kick them and strike, like bowling.. haha

the one behind my funny ugly face is actually, can u believe it, ONE FAMILY's house!! i know china is big, but to build a house of few acres!! too much la.. its like whole 5 generations staying in the house man.. toooo damn big la... no wonder they need so many maids.. sweep the floor also i can cry dy.. sweep acres! haha

with moo at a duno what waterfall and we were standing on a hanging bridge... view was fantastic, if only there were not so many irritating loud china people crowding the bridge and bloody shaking the bridge! some people are afraid of heights ok! muthachucker!!

last one on shenzhen.. moi and jess.. same waterfall, same bridge, but better camera... not camwhore.. haha..
shit, i realised i wore too much fuchsia pink and purple.. haha.. not purposely one la.. i just throw whatever i have together and rush out the door..

ko, hav to sleep.. nite
