what a wonderful weekend! okay except that i felt real bad snapping at my mum on friday night..sigh.. my friends know the story. but i'm really looking forward to dinner with my family later. i haven't had dinner with them for so long. so friday night, i ran but it was terrrribbleee... sometimes i read about biathalons and i'm really really inspired but aiyah.. my fitness level is like shyttttt. i met jess on sat morning to swim. haha. we did more talking in the pool then swimming but it wasn't a bad thing 'coz my body was aching from the night before! but yea.. i told jess alot of stuff that day.. and i'm really glad i can trust both lyn and jess so much.
thanks girls. :)
we met lyn in town later and did the whole catching up thing (yeaaa!!) plus i finally bought some stuff for myself after so many weeks of non-shopping (double yeaaa!!!!). i don't really care that the pants are years behind fashion, they'll keep me cool in our ridiculous 34°C type of weather. the NUS play that we went to was alright, the indian guy was good as the gay (why is this always the case? think russell..heh) AND... i saw yingdan! she was part of the production! haha..what a coincidence eh? huiyu was there but she obviously didn't recognise me. on the way home from NUS, i saw june, one of the girls we used to work with at suntec! heh..yea, so i was quite happy yesterday. i mean, though i missed out on the 4/1 outing, i saw so many other people!
i slept pretty late (the journey from NUS back home is unbelievably long) and woke up at 5+am this morning to meet ron and lyn for breakfast. peig mentioned that ron looked broader but he's lost a bit of weight since then so he didn't look very different to me. it was good seeing him though. it's been quite a while. i was supposed to meet only haogen for lunch but well, the whole thing ended up with peiying meeting joanne + more rgs people for lunch and alene was stuck in town waitin for people so i managed to see them all! which was good, 'coz i was wonderin when i'd see peig and alene again. after lunch alene left to meet her friend so haogen and i went to rocky master to watch electrico play! they sounded better at POW i think and the sound system kept screwing up during the rehearsal and the actual performance, but what the hell, i like them anyway.

i went to the toilet to take a nap again. gosh i was so sleepy today. i had a series of weird dreams last night. did i mention how much i detest automatic-flush toilet bowls? i
really don't like them. they flush at all the wrong times! so intrusive!
so today, i didn't see jess 'coz for some reason she's only starting work next week and we didn't have our company bowling thing as well 'coz there were too little people. So in the end, i did OT together with chris and donna. being single when you're 30-something isn't such a bad thing. you get to eat whatever you want for dinner without having to worry about impressing a special someone. haha. the three of us shared 4 bags of chips? 500 calories per bag. *screams* but hey, i like those two very very much!
i left the office only around 9pm. sheesh. suddenly i feel like i don't have time for alot of things. this weekend 'coz i have a date with lyn and jess, i'll miss the 4/1 outing and i feel bad about it already. there's a lot i want to talk to them about too!

ahhh!!!!! i finally met up with my friend after 6 long years! i met serena today and we were just talking and talking and catching up on what went on the last 6 years of our lives! SO much has happened since then and i'm glad i could talk to her like how i used to. gee, we were always together back in primary 4, together with genevieve. ahh!!! i'm so happy the whole meeting between us went so well and i told her stuff that some people i'm close to now don't even know! one day we'll go to the little prayer room at the back of OLGC, just to re-live our primary school days, heh. girl if you're reading this, thank you for a truly wonderful evening! meet up again soon okay! :D

ahh. so the weekend's been incredibly busy. i thought i could get some shut-eye after macritchie but i had to do my share of the housework and 'coz ui aik was leavin that night, i met him for dinner. wahh.. my house captain's really so impressive man! hahaha. he really never fails to surprise me. oh! and i saw serena teo!!! oh goshhh.. i can't wait to meet her for dinner this wed!
i finally finished the first part of the project at the office, of course now there's a 2nd part to it. the scanner will be my best friend for the next couple of days and because it takes so long just to scan one resume, i foresee myself trying desperately not to fall asleep. but then again, jess is gonna work near me starting thurs! woohoo!! so yes, i'll think of meeting her for lunch and be happy!

i met the house reps yesterday to celebrate alene's birthday and as usual, it was good. we were forced to give in to her 'coz it was her birthday celebration but she got it pretty bad when the clock struck 12midnight haha. we wanted to watch constantine after that but it was sold out, so we settled for hide and seek which was actually pretty dry except for a bit of the shock factor. we took a cab back and it was about 3am when i finally got to bed.
woke up at 7 this morning to meet lyn and jess 'coz we ditched our girls'-nite-out-plans for a hike in macritchie. haha. i think we did a total of 8-10km? but it was nice coz we weren't rushing like how we did in house camp and we could talk pretty comfortably along the way. took quite a few pictures too 'coz it was our first time on the hsbc treetop bridge! :D i'm rather tired now coz i didn't have much sleep, plus it's the first time in 2 weeks i've had to use my limbs in such a manner.
aye my mum's so irritating..gave me black face immediately when i got home? gee..parents.
char: hello! haha..yea i'm great, hope you are too, :) tuition.. yea i actually got it thru' an agency. i think there are agencies where u can just like..walk in and sign up or sthg. go try!

oh yes! i dropped that horrible brat of a boy tuition kid of mine! seriously half the time we're at each other's throat! i mean.. my brother never gave attitude like THAT when he was in sec 2. that guy's just a blardy smart alec and he wants to get into NJ-IP? geez. i pity his mother. the girl who lives with them is a pure joy to teach though.
so i spent more time in the company of donna and chris and i realised i'm really bad at the err.. guess-their-age game. haha. donna's so much of a little girl and chris is so..motherly! she even pats my head the way my dad used to when i was younger!
russell: eh u @!?#*(%& okay no la. haha. well i've got stuff to ask you see and i didn't know u left. will pass the msg to alene and you have a safe and wonderful trip at the alps! (ahem ahem..vice capts treat after that okay..)
captain's coming back tomorrow! and my house will meet once again.. can't wait for that. TGIF.

i came home early today! i'm glad i changed tuition to weekends 'coz it's crazy to have to rush from work to that place. happy belated valentine's day to you all!
so yesterday i walked thru' orchard road with shopping mentality for the first time in weeks. saw shanice and jacelyn! haha. those two girls were like jess and i! :D it was alotta walkin around and stewpid heels (seriously, who invented heels?!) virtually killed my toes. but what the hell la, i mean, i was with one of my favourite girls. i'm so glad lyn managed to make it down in time and we all had so much to say to each other! i felt so guilty coz i didn't have time to get anything this year but they got stuff for me.. ah well. i'm so lucky to have them as girlfriends!
today our boss treated us to lunch, those like, chinese dunno-how-many-course kinda thing. it was nice! our whole office was empty for 2 whole hours 'coz we were all out. did i mention how much i love yusheng though i've had it so many times this CNY already? and yes! christina said i can take no pay leave in march! woohoo! that means i'll be para-sailing in tioman! :D i'm happyyyy!!!

home sweet home! i didn't have tuition yesterday morning so i was watching gilmore girls all the way until i was supposed to meet peig. alene's so lazy and we almost got lost 'coz she refused to come pick us and peig couldn't remember her way. haha. but it was quite worth it! her place is really quite cool! it was so nicely furnished i was rather fascinated and yes, those two thought i was weird 'coz i was exploring from room to room. met esther on the way to amk and well, i guess some things never change. heh. we gambled and the guys were as funny as ever, talked a bit to py and liwei them. huiying! hahaha. i'm glad she's still the same after all these years. i really missed her man. next week we're crashin her place! :D
huiling's house.. ahh.. yes.. always enough food to run a refugee camp. heehee. there was so much leftover from the steamboat, plus the yu-sheng, the jelly and the longan that we didn't touch at all. we gambled and i think i made a profit overall (starting from coach's place) yesterday. oh, and i realised most of us girls have the same bad-temper. in fact, after hearing from the rest of them, i think my temper is rather mild! wenjie, esther and i went to bed around 3am and i dunno why but we started talking about spirits and ghosts. it probably started because huiling keeps a doll (the Chucky-sized kinda doll, with the big eyes and all?) on her bedside table. eee.. so scary..

been blog reading. the first time i've done so in
weeks. now that i'm ready to go to bed..
my toes hurt so much i can hardly bend them! argh! it's horrible! i'm gonna have to do a little bit of a duck walk in order to walk to my room. hopefully it'll be all better in the morning 'coz i'm giving yari tuition, then i'm going to alene's, then on to my bball coach's place which i'm kinda looking forward to coz i haven't seen them all for so long 'cept for esther of course. i miss huiyinggggg. oh and then i'm spending the night at huiling's and i've got tuition early on sunday morning again. haha. madness. i'm real tired now but there doesn't seem to be time to sleep much at all. *yawn*

two whole days of surviving on new year goodies and i feel as fat as a pig. i've had so much bakwa i think of peiying a lot (heehee). not to mention marshmellows that my brother bought + all the other heaty junk food. thank goodness we're having steamboat at huiling's place tomorrow and not like, bbq or something. haha. i really really wanna go sweat it out but i can't run right now. some nut stepped on my toe with the blisters? and i had what i thought was a mosquito bite at the bottom of my foot but now it's no longer itchy, instead, it's painful. ahhh. i'm gonna put on the weight i managed to shed. *sigh* i miss lyn and jess! i wanna go climb bukit timah hill! ohhhh.. today i saw this person who really made me very happy!!!! wowww... i think peig and alene were pretty grossed out when i told them i feel happy each time i see her. haha.
// hilda left the world behind.. // 23:37
the two days of new year visiting are over and i gotta get back to the office tomorrow and that totally sucks! 'coz even my dad and mum don't have to work? *sigh* oh well. anyway, visiting was well, just like that. i mean, it's the same every year. except that this year my sister's really into the whole studying-human-behavior thing and she found quite a few interesting specimens amongst my family. yea, we've got a weird assortment of characters, heh.
met up with peihua after having not seen her for 2 years? i guess she's grown up a lot.. 2 years in nj was fast, but i guess within that time, a lot of things have changed. we were at gardens until 1am+ and we did something that we did back in secondary school - we walked home. well of course it was faster than walking from anderson but i was on heels and now i've got blisters! thank goodness i get to wear flip flops coz it's dress down friday tomorrow.
went out for a movie with the 4/1 gang this evening and i've never been a big fan of japanese anime but i really enjoyed the show that we caught. i can't really remember the title but it was not bad except that some parts didn't flow too well. oh but it was funny, heehee. and we saw minkok with his shaved head! he looks so much better! haha! put on some weight and he'd be quite a stud!
oh and my mahjong's not THAT bad really. i'll take on ron and russell again to prove them wrong. heh. and kelly it was a whole long story but yea, i'll most prob be there on sunday. i'll msg you or ming again to confirm!

today's chinese new year eve. i'm trying to psych myself up. really. i've never felt festive during this period, probably 'coz i'm not all that close to my relatives. when i grow up and if (if EVER) i have kids, i'll bring them to my siblings' places for dinner every week. well maybe this new year will be different la. we'll see. hmm. i miscalculated the whole dance thing so i've actually got homework to do before sunday. work was fine and i saw ms. ong on the way to yari's! my sec 4 chemistry teacher! :D she's doing pretty well and she said she might go back to teaching. i hope she does. she totally rocks as a teacher man. saw jiangshui when i was on the way back from tuition. oh, he mentioned kelly when we were at serangoon circus and just then i saw kelly's sister. she was on the same bus that we were on? haha. well happy chinese new year you all. collect lots of $!

i spent more than 12 hours with peig and alene today. so gross! haha. okay kidding! :) i woke up early just to get to that place on time (as usual, i was the earliest, peig was the latest..i'm sure it's a solaris thing heh) and alene was a hilarious sight! her eyes were swollen coz she cried while watching a show last night? oh gosh all that laughing really woke me up. haha! we were supposed to go to some tuition centre to mark books but there was some miscommunication and in the end we left the place after 20 mins? we had breakfast at the upper thomson crispy prata place and i had 2 milo dinosaurs coz we sat there and we talked and laughed for a few hours! after that we dropped by mac and then went on to peig's place coz we had alotta time to kill before meeting ming and kelly.
her place was quite cool, with the musical toilet and that prayer place! hahah! oh and err, so embarrassing, i mistook her brother for her sister. shit.. haha. went thru' her rgs pictures and she looked quite impressive back then (oh gosh what happened since then man..)! somewhere along the journey to clarke quay, my face hurt alot coz seriously, those two really crack me up. i was laughing so hard i had to lean against the wall for support! oh and err, so stupid..this guy standing behind peig was listening to us talk and he kept smilin coz he heard us i think. haha. that alene also..tskk.. she had to scream when we met the girl from the dance place! so embarrassing! haha!
well we left for thomson coz that's where the church was but we went to bishan for dinner after that. shaun joined us and he was so irritating! wanted to give me a jackknife for my birthday for ahem-ahem..haha. but it was damn funny being around the 3 of them. seriously i think i laughed enough today to make up for a whole week of boredom in the office. heh..it really reminds me of the good old days spent in the house room just talking rubbish. i miss the house reps.
// hilda left the world behind.. // 23:59
christina brought two containers of homemade pineapple tarts and it was gone even before the end of the day! it was so yummy i ate err..dunno how many.. haha. which was the reason i wasn't as hungry as i was on other days. :D there was so much to eat at the office and actually, today wasn't all that bad compared to the other days even though the filing was incredibly crazy this morning! i found out that lucy's husband's eurasian and her boys are all grown up. haha. and she keeps tellin me to give myself a treat and go to europe when i stop working! damn if only my parents would tell me that. :)
i met jess and lyn today! finally!!! i haven't seen them in a week but it feels like a million years already. we were at prerouge and i met edwin there. seems he's workin at peranakan place, haha. well it's good to know he's doing fine. we were taking pictures and eating the huge bowl of ice-cream (and fries at like.. 9+ in the evening..sinful..but it was blardy good!) and this really nice ang-moh came up to us and volunteered to help us take a group picture. ahh.. i miss them so much. oh and thanks lynette for the earrings! :D
so david (the boss over at my work place) mentioned something about me working there all the way until i go to the university.. that's like.. 5-6 months? hmm..i dunno if i can take it man. haha. we'll see how things go. i'm seein peig and alene early in the morning so i should be off to bed now. *yawn*

okay the other girl who's workin there isn't too bad now. i mean, we may not be on the same wavelength but i kinda like her, in a weird kinda way. christina's been a great i/c and donna's so warm. i especially like lucy! she's got a grandmother sorta charm about her. she's not that old but she makes me feel taken care of! so today, huili dropped by for an interview and it was really great seein a familiar face. even though i've only been there for 5 days, it feels like i've been locked up for 5 years!
i met the 4/1 girls tonight! haha. it was fun all the way la, from squabblin' with huiling over our food to counting the number of years we've known each other for. oh my gosh.. i've known huiling for close to a decade? and esther and jiawen for 6 years? what about jolin? bernice? serena? dinosaur years ago.. haha. :D
so what if some people have new things in life? i'm glad to be able to keep some of the old. oh yes. i'll be seeing my basketball coach + ex bball-mates next week. that's something to look forward to.
