I happened to see this on Facebook...

Hello Chu,
This is what I got from Hong Kong for you. :D

A brand new start.

So I cleared about 444 older posts of mine, and more to be deleted soon.

I came to realise that as I age with each passing day, another level of maturity in blogging I have achieved.

Back in the days, I would blog about my day, which is practically what 80-90% of the blogosphere in Singapore or around the world do.

I would spam my blog with how I feel, be it a one-liner or a tiny short paragraph about my day and how I was feeling. And each had something to do with the eye candy of that certain phase.

It is not something I am actually very proud of, but I do not regret blogging like that.

But I have leveled up since then (hahaha!) so I have decided to clear them all away, as a brand new start for me, sorta.

I left posts behind that are either not about my then-eye candy, me whining about how depressed I am, and how stressed I was with regards to my school assignments.

While I cleared many things away, I couldn't help but think of how time flies at a blink of an eye.

It felt just like yesterday when it was the first day of Polytechnic.
It felt just like yesterday when I finally started talking to my classmates.
It felt just like yesterday when I thought that I finally widen my microscopic social circle.

And now, half of 2010 is gone, I have about 3 more terms to go before completing my diploma.
I have joined a couple of competitions on and with my blog, and won a couple of freebies.
I appeared on TV and I have finally started making Youtube videos.

My life is nearly complete...
Just let me marry Tom Kaulitz. :D
Hello hello! :DD

I AM BACK FROM THE LAND OF AWESOME SHOPPING AND DIM SUM! :D

I will do a proper update soon. :D
And a few more videos of the items I bought from Hong Kong.

This trip was like a life lesson in itself, I have learnt so many things like ;
  • ALWAYS WEAR COMFORTABLE SHOES.
  • I am a compulsive shopaholic. Anywhere and everywhere have something I want to buy.
  • I tend to do stupid things I know I will regret when in overseas.
  • A 3-day trip to Hong Kong is never enough.
  • Listening to Olivia Ong is always good on planes. :D
  • Don't expect much when taking budget airlines. The middle seat is really reserved for people who have really high tolerance level.
  • Night flights are awesome! :D
  • It is always good to have a debit card with you when you travel.
And that is like, just a few of the many things I learnt on my trip.

I want to go overseas again! D:

So till then~! :D

SO I BE OFF TO THE LAND FULL OF DIM SUM AND SHOPPING!
:DD


So this is my last post on this blog till Thursday, where I will be happy, fully recharged and have craploads of photos to share and post on this blog.

:D So till then, BE JEALOUS PEOPLE. Because I won't really be buying back anything for anyone, so insignificant people, SUCK IT!

Just joking, but seriously.
I have said this back in March/April that I will go on a holiday this June (which is now :D) no matter what because I am overworked from school, ITP and my part-time job.

The week of holiday we were suppose to enjoy before our ITP was well-spent at my part-time job.
The weekends I was suppose to enjoy as a break from ITP during ITP was well-spent at my part-time job.
The only public holiday I was suppose to enjoy as an additional day of break was well-spent at my part-time job.

Therefore I HAVE DECIDED that I will go on a holiday in June, even if it's just a 2-week break.

And alas, I have made that happen, even with much obstacles along the way.
People saying they want to come but is too expensive, people saying they want to come but is too expensive so they asked other people along but all decided not to go, people being a bitch and picky about the number of people going, and the price of going to Hong Kong.

Urgh, sometimes travelling with a bunch of people can be a pain in the ass. The planning process, I mean.

But I have to say that I am incredibly proud of myself.
I have done my research on the place, together with Valerie. Places with good food, places to shop. I WILL ENJOY HONG KONG TO ANOTHER LEVEL THIS TIME.

And most importantly, I did something I said I would.
I MADE IT HAPPEN
for myself.

:D I guess I am starting to believe in myself. :D

Oh yes, when I get back, I think I am going to start deleting some posts of mine from my blog. :/
Not that I regret anything I have typed out here, I just think that they are a little too childish as compared to my more recent posts... Not like I am ever that mature anyway. -_-

But yes, it has been a great 1,154 posts. :D

This makes me want to become a vampire. :/

So I just got home from work.

(A girl's gotta work for her own money ok, it's a cruel world out there.)

On my way home from work today, I bumped into a neighbour of mine... Two neighbours of mine.

:/ One watched me grow up, an old lady who waited downstairs for me and her grandson to come home from school everyday when I was 10.

That was 10 years ago, and I havent seen much of her since then.

My family is pretty closed up from the outside world, meaning our neighbours. Or at least, my dad and I are pretty closed up from the outside. I see no point in talking to them, it just makes things awkward, and I hate having to make small talk with people you see for like, 2 minutes, tops, in the elevator.

But yeah, that old lady made an impression on me.

I remember once leaving my house keys on the school bus.
(Come on, I was 10, I can totally go home on my own already. But my mother insisted on me taking the school bus.)
I obviously couldn't go home because there way nobody at home. :/ And she kindly took me in for the 2 hours, and I played some random computer game, which I don't remember, with her grandson, whom I never talked to since we went to secondary school.

The thing I really hate about neighbours is that they, those of my age, are pretty much competitive. One dude kept bugging me on my exam results, PSLE, N-levels, and he gave up asking after the O-Levels. I don't really care.

As long as I get promoted and do something I kinda want, I'm happy to share.

But yes, about that old lady.

It has probably been that long since we last met, because for starters, she can't recognise me anymore. Maybe it's the blond hair, maybe my features have changed since I was 10.
(An aunt of mine is positively sure I did plastic surgery.)

I felt kinda sad when she didn't recognise me. Either that, or like me, she couldn't be bothered to make small talk with me, since after all there is another adult in the elevator.

Oh, did I mention she was in a wheelchair. The last we heard about it was that her feet has lost all its flesh, not in a gross way. Probably due to old age, elderly can't really take in solid food, and they kinda lose the weight over time. There was something wrong with her legs, and her feet ended up "slimming down" till all that's left was just skin and bones, making it hard for her to walk.

:/

Sad, but true.

It kinda scares me to know that someday, I will be like that too. D:

Friday, June 18, 2010

So I have started doing videos. :/

Kinda.

It's scary. I fear someone finding my videos and posting it up on Facebook.

This is a training process I set for myself to overcome certain fears of mine. Not that I was ever afraid of the camera, or looking at myself in a video or camera and cringing at every word I think I sound funny when I say it.

No, I will not expose my channel to the world here. It's up to whoever who wants to know to find out about it. :/

Heh, let's see what kind of thing this becomes. :/

I have a long list of things to do tomorrow. D:

I was suppose to do it today, but I ended up going to work. Sigh.

Thursday, June 17, 2010

I'm just ranting...

I feel compelled to write out this post, mainly because whenever I am outside walking or shopping alone, I tend to get stares because of my hair. :/ Or because of what I am wearing.

Usually I get stares of envy and jealousy or curiosity because of the awesome pair of Adidas Jeremy Scott I am wearing. The gold one gets more stares and double-takes, for obvious reasons. :D

Usually I embrace it, when it is about what I am wearing.

But recently, I realise I have been getting a lot of stares and giggles and have a bunch of people pointing at me because of my hair. How I know it's my hair they are giggling at? Well, apparently I dressed pretty normally. Nothing flashy, just my regular converse shoes, berms and a shirt. :/

Usually it's not that bad. I haven't gotten much stares or points or giggles as compared to my bright red Gaga-ish hair, so I was actually comfortable and used to not having people do funny stuff like that. So now when it happens, I actually get quite annoyed and I am pretty uncomfortable with it.

I guess it just hit me that it really looks like that duo colour Nutella, like what some random guy from Singapore Polytechnic, God-knows-what-year student said that. I didn't actually hear it for myself, a friend of mine who was walking behind that guy who was walking behind me heard that and told me when she saw me in class. ._.



Yeah, this gets more stares than that.


And this actually has a delayed effect on getting the same reaction as the one above. :/

It actually makes me wonder, and it actually pisses me off when people think that just because one dyes her hair, or tattoo and pierce some part of their body, or even dress in a flashy fashion means that he or she is insecure about themselves.

These snobs of society thinks that when you dress normally like they do, and have your hair in its natural colour, actually means that you're feeling confident about yourselves. And that you're not masking up who you truly are, as an Asian or whatever. Rah.

I think the world needs more colour, and people need to stop being so judgmental.

This post actually sounded a lot better in my head when I was planning it out. But oh well. At least that gave my lifeless blog some kind of... life I guess.

On a side note, Hong Kong really is not far away from now! :DD And I am extremely excited about it! :D So excited that I haven't even started packing yet. D:

As of right now, I would kill to own this fanny pack, in gold. Rah, I hate that it's not available anywhere online, not even Ebay. D:

Early this May when we were planning for our awesome trip to Hong Kong, which by right now is not so far away :DD, I had plans to get many things in preparation for the trip.

  1. A red Baggu bag.
  2. A blue Mini7s.
  3. A black toiletries bag from Muji.
  4. An Ipod Touch, which came to mind really randomly.
  5. An awesome pair of gray berms.
  6. An awesome pair of boyfriend jeans.
Out of the 6, I have fulfilled half of it. I got my Baggu bags, in both red and blue. I got an awesome pair of gray berms and I found out that 3 pairs of my jeans at home can actually be folded up, making it look like awesome boyfriend jeans which are my go-to jeans nowadays whenever I go out.

I am just feeling a little sad that the money in my bank account is depleting at the speed of light. :/ People have yet to pay me back my money, things I have to keep paying for, things I pay for because I just have to own them and people taking my money, on top of which I have to fork out my own shopping money to Hong Kong. Heh, story of my life.
I had awesome things planned out for today, of which are pretty much thwarted because :/ I am slightly too embarrassed to do it at home.

Hahaha, sorry Maureen, you might have to wait a little longer.

And, as you can totally tell, I have a new blogskin. Sorry for being too into myself. Heh.

Thursday, June 10, 2010

I bought two of these for Maureen and Danni.

And they are a lot prettier in real life than on picture. D: I am tempted to get this the next time! :D

This holiday is going to be exciting! :D

Random update.

It makes me really happy to see that it has been raining non-stop for the past few days. :D
I hope it will be insanely hot in Singapore when I am in Hong Kong.

Sometimes I feel like I am obliged to put up shitloads of photos of myself on my blog, just so that I can up my blog readership a bit.

15th June, 15th June, 15th June.

Something will be done by then. Hopefully good results will come out of it. :D

I feel like I have to update this space, so here goes.

  1. My holidays are finally here! :D
  2. I am insanely broke because I have overspent in the last few days of May and the first few days of June.
  3. And also because my mother took money from me. :/
  4. Hong Kong is not that far away from now! :D
  5. I have lots of stuff to sell, in order to raise money for Hong Kong. D:
  6. I have something awesome planned out for 15th June. :D
So till then! :D

Try this.

A big black bug
Bit a big black bear
And the big black bear
Bled badly.

Then try repeating it 10 times, at twice the speed. :/
Understand my pain now?

I have been feeling a little down since yesterday. It got a bit more so after meeting my best friend from primary school.

Has it been that long that everything looks and feel so different...?

So I finally shopped a bit offline, now I am eyeing on two pairs of shades at the shades shop I frequent. Heh, it really doesn't hurt to update my collection every now and then. :D

So I got myself a new wallet, a new pink wallet. D: But it's sparkly :D


And I got myself an extremely awesome but expensive pair of high-waisted polka dot pants. :D


And the fact that I ate my yummy white button mushrooms and ham omelet, I am a kinda happy, but still pretty much depressed girl. :/

LESSONS TOMORROW, I AM EXICTED ABOUT MY FUTURE. :D

Monday, June 7, 2010

If you two were never in love, you should never have gotten married and have kids.
It is because of your irresponsible attitude that have gotten yourself 2 fucked up, complex kids.

You will never understand any of them.

PHOTO OF THE DAY, kinda:


This happens only when I am left alone at home without any adult supervision. :D
