you.

we were workin out in the gym, jess and i, but i think we put most of it back on. we had fast food for dinner and cornetto minis together with a bag of yummy chips she bought from melbourne. yikes! i'm officially as heavy as i was at the end of 2004. *sigh* looks like i've gotta start planning some kinda schedule. oh yea. congrats daniel, for gettin to ocs. oh oh! i bought some stuff today! :D
jess: babe thanks for being such a great host and shopping partner! can't wait to continue the L Word with you next week!
lyn: you shld get a tagboard girl! so i can tell you how much i miss you and to leave you short notes. anyway, we'll talk abt ipoh when you get back? have fun there!

uiaik called from malaysia last night! :) we talked for quite a while and yea..i miss having my captain around.. we insult each other half the time whenever we talk but the other half, he never fails to surprise me and to give me some kinda new focus in life. i might head down to ipoh to visit him one of these days since he won't be back till june. and he'd better not forget me when he's in illinois!
spoke to ronald for a bit too. poor fella doesn't have much time to prepare for his interview on sat. told him what's going on in my life and err, i must say the both of them know me pretty well, haha. hmm. was nice talkin to them, especially since i had some stuff that i needed guy-opinion on.

i'm stayin over at jess's tomorrow night. a night of workin out, followed by junk food (hrm..) and the L-Word, and shopping on saturday!

i had a great night out with the serena and genevieve as usual. they're the first bunch of people i go out with and err, everyone's fightin' to pick up the bill? serena's such a dear.. she bought a birthday cake for the two of us, so i officially had my last birthday celebration yesterday. cake, present and all. thanks you two! :D we had baileys (she got a bottle 'coz gen and i both like it) and cake the whole nite, just bummin' around's always fun with them.
oh oh!! serena left the room for a while and Norah Jones's What Am I To You was playin' on the radio and gen got all excited, she held my hand and exclaimed, "What am i to you!".......just as serena's mum walked in?! it was so funny! i can't imagine what her mum must've been thinking! (take a look at our pics on serena's blog and you'll figure, heh!)
i heard from jolin the first time in a long while and yea, hopefully i'll get to meet up with her soon! and damn. having new doors opening isn't always a good thing...*sigh*

today, my 2 favorite people in the world dropped by to have lunch with me. it's prob the last time the 3 of us will be together for a couple of weeks. lyn, have fun in melbourne! jess..i look forward to our shopping trip!
salsa was really fun today! it's my second last lesson and i'm still deciding if i should sign up for salsa 2. ivan gave me a lift home again today, thanks! ron called and i'm really glad he got shortlisted for the interview. i'll prob ask nick for help since his sister's a lawyer.

my monitor's finally up and running.
i hate my blog layout now but i haven't got time to do up a new one.
friday. chris, donna, kevin, nick, lawrence, joce and i had dinner at cartel after work (thank you christinaaaa). everyone listens to chris in the office but i realised, she always gets bullied outside! so cute! we all had a good time laughin at her. she's so slow when it comes to pickin up things, kinda like how alene and agnes were when we first started out as the Lignum 6th. for the 2nd time in my life, i went to kbox. didn't sing much (the only chinese songs i know are by jay chou) but i was a pretty good cheerleader for the rest of them. thomas joined us and boyyyyy... he does the jay chou songs with soooo much emotion i almost felt like tearing!
sat. slept in later than i usually would but it's still not enough. had CIP with the youths at the centre and i think publicity for the carnival's gonna be a major prob. they wanna make 5 banners?! i recall the times spent outside the House Room painting.. *faints*
met some of the house reps for dinner and yep, it's always good catchin up with
them. got some good ideas for publicity from them too (read above). heehee, always knew i can count on them.
saw jonathan at coffee club and took a glance of his goodlookin indian friend. damn. too bad he's attached! :) finally, met the 4/1 peeps. we were supposed to hit a club but we ended up just having drinks at rouge coz we were all pretty drained. since we were all out together, we didn't wanna waste the nite away by going home. so what did we do? they played pool abit (esther, wenjie and i were just talkin) and we caught Guess Who? at 1.30am. i didn't think it was great and most of us prob fell asleep for a while some time during the show. by 3.20am, we were all seriously bummed out.
why do we torture ourselves like that?! they stayed on (they're
mad!) but kok and i took a cab home. daniel called arnd 4.30am and i think i mumbled something to him, i can't really recall, i was half-way on my way to dreamland (lyn, i wasn't pissed at him though, haha).
sunday's usually my rest day but i've got tuition! *wails* i'm so close to cancelling all of my appointments next week just so i can have some time for myself!

met up with jonathan last night and it sure is good seein him. :) hasn't changed much all this while but the next time i see him, he probably would've gotten himself 2 more tattoos. i hope he does it in SG so i'll get a chance to see it, heehee. wanted to take a picture of the one on his leg but i forgot to bring my camera! i'm really glad he's doing fine and that after all this time, we can still talk like how we did before. he won't be going overseas to study that soon but when he does, i know i'll miss him.
hmm..today's weegin's birthday. happy birthday girl!
going to a club tonight. saturday too. honestly i'm not sure if i'm up for it. i know i'm gonna fall ill soon. i'm going 'coz the 3 of us won't be going together for a while after this.
Labour Day..please come soon. i really really need to just sleep in..

salsa was fun last night! except i got stepped on coz one of my friends stepped back instead of forward.. and he's heavy!

i've been so busy the past couple of days i haven't had time to update. or to rest. *tired* anyways. here's a quick update.
friday. met genevieve and serena for dimsum dinner and boy.. dimsum's good stuff! we walked all the way to boat quay and had drinks at harry's. cabbed back to serena's place and she was tryin to make her own cocktails while gen and i crashed on her bed and explored her room. haven't been there since err..dunno when? the whole night we were talkin and boy.. there was quite a bit to absorb that night.. towards the end we were all just lyin on her bed, munchin on chips, listenin to music and talkin. i love that feelin. thanks girls.
saturday. i had to freakin drag myself out of bed at 8.30am coz i slept at 3 the night before? i had CIP and we brought the youths + kids to east coast park. it was actually really fun, the scavenger hunt, poisonball (i'm so darn good at it they all decided to target me after a while hahaha!... okay..okay..i'll stop..) etc etc. but talkin to some of the youths.. i was
really really disturbed. some of them are in so much trouble but they don't seem to realise it, it's scary! had dinner with daniel and it wasn't as weird as i thought it would be. heh.
today: met some of the house reps for lunch today. lyd and zhao did a fantastic job on chiitarng's bday cake. 3 cheers to them! lyd has plans to organise a pretty big scale outing for us..you go girl! alene's starting school tomorrow..hey good luck!
yep that's it. i'm gonna sleep at 10 tonight. i'm so tired..!

fuck i've just been sexually harassed on the phone. we've been callin back old candidates to ask them to send in their latest resumes and this stupid old man called.
man: hi somebody called me from here. where is this place?
me: oh this is XXXX company, we help people to look for jobs.
man: ohh..(disgusting old man-ish laughter). are you looking for a job?
me: err..no we HELP people to look for jobs over here..
man: i see..but are YOU looking for a job? (sick giggle)
me: (eat shit and die u asshole) err, i already HAVE a job.
man: (sick giggle once more) oh then.. what about a second job?
me: (i hope you get castrated some time in this lifetime) no thanks BYE!
what's wrong with the world?!

i met lyn and jess today. it's real good seein the two of them but i can't say it was altogether a great outing. here's why:
1) the term "ugly singaporeans" is not without it's origins. only a pathetic, immature, petty and a fuckin scrooge of a working man almost as old as my dad would step on my shoe after i accidentally bumped into him. like..wtf?! so i knocked into him unintentionally and i apologised.. most normal people would just let it go after an apology but that fuckin loser had to step on my shoe?! and he had the guts to stare after me?! i swear he must be 30 though he looks 50 and i bet he'll be unmarried the rest of his miserable life! if i had higher heels on and 15 more seconds to think about what i'd do i'd have literally kicked his sorry ass!
2) we were at lao pat sa having dinner and this kid about 9 yrs old came around and asked if we wanted to buy tissue paper? he had this huge bag with him to sell.. i was thinkin.. "oh poor kid..child labour.." until he came back a second time and we still refused to buy and he said in chinese "..you all only know how to talk talk talk.." ..... does it pay to have kind thoughts?!? nooo!
3) jess is a little ill and she's going to the doc's tomorrow.. jess i'll call you and i really hope it's good news i hear.. *hug* but i'm sure you'll be fine dear!
4) some people are really so filthy and disgustingly rich..but it's so so sad how they're not happy with their lives and when they screw it by doing really really foolish things.. i guess i'd rather be poor but happy.
5) on the way home lyn and i almost got knocked down by a car (okay partly coz we were talkin and didn't really see the car coming..)
6) some guy fainted at AMK MRT station..poor guy.
the only good thing was probably the fact that i saw alene,lyn and jess. *sigh*
// hilda left the world behind.. // 23:27
yesterday lyn visited me at the office. today it was alene. i miss my friends..!
// hilda left the world behind.. // 17:08

// hilda left the world behind.. // 23:59

SHIT! so stupid.. i forgot that indiana's 13 hours behind us and i called xinhui to wish her happy birthday at.. *drum roll*.. 9.30pm on the 9th of April, her time. wasted my money also, damn! but it's okay.. i'll try callin her back again later..

so the day started off with me wakin up at 6am (coz my body clock is used to it..grr). i drifted into and out of sleep until 9am and i went to run. shit. i'm super unfit now.
but the day got better. :D kris asked me out for coffee! so cool! i mean.. i missed him in bintan but now we're emailing and yea, i met him today and i got my picture with him! heeheehee! i think i'm really sheltered over here.. i mean.. kris has been all over the world and his life is just so fascinating.
met alene and eileen before heading down to marina bay to meet the rest of the house reps. uiaik came back! i missed my captain man. dinner was fine but i was kinda shagged.. even uiaik could see that i was tired. but yea.. thanks you lot.. i got alotta prezzies today.. thank you all sooo much!
oh did i mention on my way home, kris asked if i was still in town coz he was havin a drink along orchard road? dammit i was almost home already!! *sob* oh well. i get to stay home all day tomorrow! finally.. some rest.. it's been a great week though. i know now alotta ppl care and i'm thankful for that!

Friday, April 08, 2005
oh my gawd kris is in town and he asked if i wanted to meet for coffee! OH MY GAWWWDDDDD!!!!!!!!! *runs around the room and jumps up and down!!!!* what am i gonna dooo!!!! i'd love to meet him but but.... what am i gonna sayyyyyy.................!!!! my cute wakeboarding instructor from bintannnn!!!!!!
okay wait. yea about today. my smu accounting interview's on monday and i've got the whole day off. whee! it's shopping with lyn before that of course! pity jess won't be back till tues.. *sob* i met the anderson girls for dinner at swensons and thanks guys for the present! it's always a joy meeting them.. i wish i didn't tell huiling what i did though.. cheer up babe.
closure? i think i've definitely found it. i dunno if you're reading this but yea, i'm real glad we sorted things out and that it's good between us coz i really don't wanna lose a friend. i'm 19 + a day old and both xinhui and lyn are proud of me for being able to see things the way i do now. i think ron would be proud to know i've grown up too!

Thursday, April 07, 2005
ahh.. thanks to a whole lot of people! it's impossible to list all the names down but yea.. i really really appreciate the birthday greetings. :D
i was on the phone last night with lyn when the clock struck 12 and i wasn't feelin all excited 'coz being 19 means i'll have more responsibilities to live up to and i was kinda dreading it? but when i stepped into the office, i found the ripcurl bag + a card on top and the whole day's been great ever since. :) i was so touched by the office people.. + lawrence and jocelyn got me a present.. ahhh.. *tears of joy*. thank you ivan for the lovely lovely, very lovely bouquet of roses. it was awfully sweet of you! not to mention 2 cards? haha.
met lyn, weegin and grace for dinner and...they baked a cake for me! their first attempt! thanks jess, ron, russ, serhwee for the presents too though i didn't see u guys! lyn and i had drinks at rouge (it was on her, she's such a dear) and ahh!!! i feel like the luckiest girl alive. :D i'll probably continue to feel this way all the way until sunday but yea.. i just have to say i'm really happy today and i really appreciate all that everyone's done for me. :)

Wednesday, April 06, 2005
okay i received a message that made me laugh out loud in bed last night. jiawen wished me at 0003hr. haha. ron messaged just now and asked "eh why're we meetin up for dinner tmr night?", which totally cracked me up on the train too. but yea.. thanks all you people for the early greetings. i wish ron could go tomorrow though. i really miss him as a friend. oh well. at least part of his jump's dedicated to me on my birthday? thank you mortal haogen and serena dear too. :)
adrian's a life-saver. he was in smu today and he helped me ask the office of admissions about my application, which pretty much made my day. work was fine today.. i got my name card! so cool! i mean.. a lot of my friends are working too but hey! i don't think they've got name cards.. so yea!
i did OT until 9+ today but it was alright. i think nicholas, lawrence, jocelyn and i are probably gonna get along pretty fine. suddenly work seems all good. one last thing that made me laugh my head off - huiling got fined! hahahahaha!

Tuesday, April 05, 2005
work's busy today coz they finally got the server up. and it's so bloody irritating when the working language isn't english. i was stuck on the phone with some bitch who was screaming in chinese (k u all know i need a bit of time to adjust..she was talking so fast and she was using chinese words for like.. work permit etc.) and i had to fake a smile and be nice? she called 3 times and she totally pissed me off. when she came down personally i wanted to whack her with the telephone! but alas..the nature of my job is to be nice even though deep down inside i wanted to strangle her with my bare hands. i can't do OT this week (save for wednesday) 'coz i'm meetin alotta people and i really hope betty won't gimme any more timesheets to calculate just before i'm ready to step out of the office? it's rather annoying.
vice capt dinner today at spizza. thank you russell. you're da man! well.. you're the only man of the 6 of us.. :D (peig's half-man so it's not counted) it's good seein them! i walked back to 6th ave from holland village with lynette.. we talked quite a bit and i guess.. my life for the next 3-4 year's pretty much mapped out and i hope i'll be able to sustain how i'm feeling right now for a while.
oh yes. i started a diary. a real book kinda diary. :)
// hilda left the world behind.. // 23:36
Monday, April 04, 2005
anyway..jess babe! if u're reading this, i really hope ur hand's fine and i misssss youuuuuu!
// hilda left the world behind.. // 23:46
today was a really exciting monday. i was so stoned 'coz i didn't sleep well last night. i dreamt of lynette and damn, i think i might be psychic! weird things always happen after i dream of people i care about. so anyway. i was soooo blardy stoned i didn't even see the bus and i missed it though 10+ people boarded it right in front of me? i realised it before it left la but it'll be so embarrassing to run for it then..
hence, i was a little late for work. the server was down so we didn't have the internet the entire day, which was why i had to RUN from one end of the office to the other (usually we'd use yahoo messenger to pass msges) and i'm getting pretty good at running on heels 2 inches high now.
salsa's getting more confusing but it's fun nevertheless. i realised len's an old RI boy and we had this pretty funny conversation about schools. donna + christina REALLY employed the other fella they thought i would consider interesting. hahahaha. oh myyy... and i got a surprise message early in the morning.
// hilda left the world behind.. // 23:31
Sunday, April 03, 2005
yesterday..hmm. cip was fun. we made pizza with the youths + kids and i started talkin more to the other volunteers there so it was cool. plus justina's openin up to me so that's great too.
wenzhu's party. wild. it was quite a sight at 2.30am. hahah. definitely a night to remember. i love lyn and jess - i think they probably love me more after last night too. to all the sober and nice nj guys, thanks a lot you bunch. :)
today. gave russell a morning call and one hour later he was still in bed? plus the outing he organised.. err.. not very successful but hey.. not everyone can plan things as well as how i planned the bintan trip.. *sniggers*. i finally got to talk to peig and alene though.
i miss home.
// hilda left the world behind.. // 20:25
Saturday, April 02, 2005
guys, thanks for your concern.. i truly appreciate it. you all know who you are okay.. :)
i wish i could be nicer to the people who're nice to me. but as in most cases, you usually don't like them the way they like you.. it's tough to find somebody whom you like, and who likes you back at the same time, no? i've pretty much sorted things out, though huiling says i'm well on my way to becoming a nun, i'm glad he's happy where he is.
closure? maybe.. just maybe.. i've found it.
// hilda left the world behind.. // 16:18
Friday, April 01, 2005
so today, i started my new job. okay not job. but yea. i moved from the backend to the frontline. so now, i have the biggest desk in the entire office! apart from the boss's perhaps.. it's messy, confusing and i've got tons to learn. but hell, it's better than the old one. it's interesting. i'm always running about or on the phone or calculating time sheets.i've also got an office yahoo account so i can talk to the rest of them now, not just the usual gang. but i do really miss donna and chris. *sigh*
i met alot of other people today. hasan and vida to get stuff (coz hasan slept ytd and forgot to meet me?? haha) and later on, jess and lyn for the
Cleo's 50 Most Eligible Bachelors Finals. i still don't think her friend's that good looking.. but gawwwdd.. when he was only wearing jeans... oh mama. he won the subsidiary prize for the Best Body, something along that line, category.
just imagine! im drooling, droooooooolinnnggggg mann... oh yea, saw rina and this other girl who was at the shoot last year so that was quite nice too.
AH! BEST PIECE OF NEWS! Kris emailed me! omg he emailed me!!! i'm in heaven! of course it's just general stuff like, oh yea he remembers me from bintan but AHH!!!! :D
tgif.
