Work was insane today. I.N.S.A.N.E. And no, im not referring to work itself.

Went to Far East during break with Nora and we both each got a new top and new shoes.

Nearly bought a pair of Calvin Klein shoes that were reduced from $400+ to $80 but Jane said they looked too auntie-ish. Just as well, she saved me $80.

Paragon tomorrow. Double breaks. Need stuff from Fancl.


Oh and,

Best of luck to Ping!

1 day to release of A level results
2 days to East Coast
3 days to freaking posting
3 days to new hair
4 days to Zouk (?)

Gonna crash early. Im beat.

Slept at three last night. Got up at six and ive been on my feet ever since.

Interview thing. I can say that i managed to answer the questions with a certain level of intelligence but i guess i could have done much better.

The scenario part was not all good. My portfolio and o level results are my final playing cards. Got my fingers crossed. I can honestly say i already tried my freaking best so the rest will be up to fate to decide.


Went to town with Stephen after that. Watched the pink panther. Danburgert!

Sorta bummed around town after that. Went poking around the Birkenstocks store but i didnt really see anything that i like. But there is this nice purple Crumpler bag i sorta like.

he left at four, and i wasnt expected until 7 so i sorta hung around the shop talking and ended up going over to Paragon with Nad and Josh. And then back to wisma again. Talking. Again.

Just pigged out but ah fuck it.

2 more days to A level results (luck Ping!)
3 more days to east coast
4 more days to posting
4 more days to new hair
5 more days to zouk (?)

March is surprisingly eventful.

What the hell im doing updating my blog at 2 am when i need to be up at 6 tomorrow is beyond me.

I just have this urge to update my blog.

Hm. Just finished my 500 word intent thing and i hope its good enough. Interview is tomorrow and im a wreck. Ive only just finished my nails, ive barely packed and surprise surprise, i have no idea what to wear tomorrow.

Ah well. My entire future depends on tomorrow.

Or maybe im just exaggerating again.


Took lots of nonsensical photos in the shop today when it was empty.

First we tried to do the Olsen Twin Thing.

Minus the skinny anorexic bodies and bug eyes of course.







And in case anyone is interested, the dresses we're wearing are supah comfy and is on 50% off.


And then there was the plain mad photos that wont ever make sense..







I actually like the Energie bag.

And then there's the photo where the only reason its up here is because Ping and Jane (center, right) look really good.




So much for work, huh?


Went on dinner break with Ping and hell did we buy. She came back with what, 5 bags of stuff? I bought a limegreen Lacoste tote bag. Ha, something preppy i can carry to the interview tomorrow. The Bree bag is getting a little too big.

Damn imma go sleep.

Jeans back from alteration.

Another day of nonsense and fattening food.

1) Cheese fries (again)

2) Mee Goreng soaked in sambal chilli with a slab of
sambal tofu, egg and er, cubes of spicy tofu things.

I will start my diet. Tomorrow. For real this time.

Bought a new pair of sandals ala Birks. Supah comfy. New shoes again tomorrow.

The superstar girl, Kelly something, was performing at Wisma today. And i still dont see what's the big hype all about. No offence to any of her adoring fans by the way.

Damn damn nervous for my interview on Monday. Its freaking early -9am-, i still dont know what to wear and im not even close to starting the 500 word essay of intent thing im supposed to submit.

BUT!

I absolutely refuse to fuck it up. I musnt, i wont and i cant.

Schedule's out for march. Looks like its gonna be an interesting last month ahead.


Ah gonna go work on my application.

I guess in life, you're always gonna need someone to slap you and tell you you're being a loser. And contrary to popular belief, its good.


Work was ok. My top is finally back from alteration so im happy. Sent in my jeans for alteration so i should be getting it back tomorrow if all goes well.

Went to Paragon/hereen during break and walked around. Bought a neckalce and fell in love with two pairs of shoes. Each costing $100. Freak, no way am i willing to spend $200 at one go. Maybe i'll get the flats first and the heels later.

Bought take-away Billy Bombers cheese fries. Yum.



The pantry. Buahaha tons of fattening food!




Walked around after work with Jane and i ended up buying two Topshop racer backs.


Everything's good, i feel calm.

Fuck my head hurts. Where's panadol when you need it?

Bought my Miss Sixty jeans but they're still way too long so im going to get it altered tomorrow. Along with the Ripcurl top i bought a few days ago, it has expanded into enormous proportions.

One down, one more to go.

Saw the new Energie bags and im kinda thinking about buying two of them, even though its for guys but who cares. There's a seriously nice waistpouch im thinking of buying for my brother, so it'll improve his street cred a little.

Bought a novel from Kino during break. Imma nerd at heart.

I think im going to crash early. Tons of errands to run tomorrow.

Interview thing with nyp today.

Alot of last minute preparation as usual. I didnt leave the house until 2.10, and i was to be there at 2.25.

Ended up calling a cab, because i was still at the tricky mascara stage at 2.

Im hopeless.

Ah the interview was ok. I cant say i aced it, but i didnt bomb it either so.. Im just gonna use it as a guideline for the Ngee Ann one. That one i have to ace.

Have to have to have to. I want the best, and if there's no good reason for me to not get it, im gonna do everything it takes.


Ok that sounded vaugely psychotic.

Went to Plaza Sing. after that because i was bored of town and hoho, there's nothing there either. But i did manage to get a top. And its a us size one. HAHA.

Cheap thrills we non-thin people get.

Ah who am i kidding. Ive just weighed myself and quelle surprise, ive gained weight. -_-"

Guess im the sort who just HAS to diet, or exercise myself to death. I opt for the dieting. Me and exercise? Its like, eating chocolate dipped in chicken curry.

Met my mom and we went for dinner -eating again-. Indian veggies, a vegan's paradise. It was amazingly good.

But i think im falling sick. Everywhere aches now. Forcing myself to drink a positively vile herbal drink so i wont be like death tomorrow.

Doing my nails now. Bah. Supposed to have this totally girly day out tomorrow with Jane -my colleague- but oh no, nanyang has to scehdule it TODAY of all days. Pft. Damn.

Lemme think. I could have gotten a)gorgeous nails, b)a new hair colour and c)probably a truckload of new stuff.

ARGH. Shoot me. Just shoot me.

BUT. I am going to buy the jeans or jacket tomorrow. I need retail therapy. I feel fat, i feel sick and i feel like im never going to get into ngee ann.

What better excuse do i need?

Shit im screwing up my nails. Oh and, who else but me hates the prancy show-offy girl in American Idol? The one who poses alot and 'needs to eat humble pie'.

Fuck she's annoying.

Oh and just another random thought.

WHY THE FUCK must people tyype liike thiis and use words liike miie/heex/worx/hiim/eeux etc etc??

Its SERIOUSLY ANNOYING AND LOOKS FUCKING UGLY.

In fact, i cringe when i read it.

The one i hate most? NORRTI.

*&^$(^&$&#(%)^!!!!!! It just sounds disguisting and oh f.y.i,

its sure as hell NOT, i repeat, NOT cute.

I dont care if all you losers think its in/cute. Try doing that during your exams, and you wonder why you dont pass english?

Sick.

Nanyang has shortlisted me for the interview! Booyah!

Ngee Ann has also shortlisted me for the interview! Double booyah!

I am beyond happy. In fact, i was so high at around 7 when Ngee Ann messaged me, i was this close from buying the jacket and jeans on the spot.

Luckily, i have sensible colleagues.

But i did buy a pair of earrings from Topshop. Was there looking for silvery flats, so i dont know how i ended up with earrings instead.

NYP interview tomorrow. Dont know when the NP one is going to be, have to call them tomorrow to schedule.

Havent even prepared my portfolio. Shit.

Imma go read all the news archives. After all the worrying, like hell im going let myself screw up.


thank god for yahoo news

Aye, bought a pair of suede Topshop ankle boots at half off. They were fucking killing my feet though.

Put my jacket on reserve. Hoping no one will buy the jeans because its the LAST piece in both stores, and im not sure i really like it so reserving it would be stupid. I mean, what if i end up not wanting to buy it?


To cut short alot of rantings, to summarize how i feel

im slowly but surely becoming a cynic about friendship.

Ive got this theory-

Out of 10 potential boyfriends, 3 are gay, 5 are attatched,
1 wont be interested in you, and 1 will be a playboy.

How miserable is that? I mean, what if the guy you happen to fall for belongs to one of the above category? I reckon you could try to get the gay to turn straight, break up the one attatched, FORCE yourself to be attractive to the not-interested-one and either put up with the playboy, or do something about it.

All of course, being similar such that tons of work would be involved.

It sucks. The past few days have been a confirmation that there's a chance im going to end up an old lady with 27 cats at the feet of my rocking chair, with me in it knitting woolly hats or something.

Ok so im being abit dramatic but christ, sometimes its just so frustrating that being a nun sounds appealing.

Yet, nothing like a little chocolate to make you feel better. = )


Went to Hereen during break. Stopped by at Energie as usual and went walking around after that. Ended up with a Roxy top and 2 bracelet things.

Ahh, retail therapy.

Bah. Imma going to stop mulling and obsessing and go do something productive.

Online shopping, booyah!

The world is getting weirder and weirder everyday.

Went lunch-time shopping with my colleague again. Went to Topshop first. She bought two tops, the skinny thing.

The one i wanted? Freaking flimsy.

But i did manage to snag a jacket at Esprit that was on sale. But now that i think about it, im not sure that i really like it. I need shoes more than anything else tho, heels are killing my freaking blood circulation.

And oh, im in love.

With a Miss Sixty jacket and Miss Sixty jeans. = )

Have a nice Sunday people, and avoid town if you can.

Its going to be xmas all over again.

Today is an exceptionally boring day.

Supposed to go out but then again, what the hell is there in town i havent already seen, or considered buying? I mean, im there every friggin day!

Im going to dye my hair sometime soon. This current brown/red is giving me a headache. Especially now that the roots are showing. Urg.

I wish i had a tub of ice cream with me right now.

Apart from a new ring and necklace from Mango, 'visit' from my friends, me being able to eat a proper meal and not feel nauseous and having the usual nonsensical-but-funny banter at work, the rest of the day sucked.


Im not going to pretend im ok because im not.

Im not going to act like im fine with everything because im not.

Im not going to swallow in and take shit from you because i wont.

Im not going to put on a strong front anymore because im simply too tired.

But im going to try to sleep it all away, because i can.

Ah im tired. Everything is -and i guess will continue to be- fucked up.

Was supposed to go out, but pushed to Friday. Thanks des!

Was up last night writing, editing and being completely neutrotic and obsessive about sending in the most perfect under-500-CHARACTERS-so-called-essay possible for 4 hours. Straight.

And then there was the bit about my involvement in the arts, leadership and community service what not. Like, huh?

Now i heard from Felicia about this DAE thing. Im too late to apply, but if i knew about it earlier, i would have. Even tho my eng grade meets the requirement for admission etc. Yes, listen to me mass comm people:

MONA IS DESPERATE FOR A PLACE


Ah heck it. Just gonna post a few random pictures from the dinner, even though it was ages ago. An all-word blog is boring.





Before setting off for The Pines. And yes, she is
wearing an Ed Hardy. -grumbles




aye?




Buahaha me and Jas.



(almost) all of us.




Group shot.




HAHA. No comments, really.



Trying to smirk and failing miserably.




Nope, no couples here.



A bunch of crazy people, for the want of a better caption



So not camera shy




Um. we're not drunk yet.



Yes i know my foundation is overdone and no, we are not
a couple so quit hassling me already.



Dont you just get that warm happy feeling inside? : P



One of my favourite pics. Tho i know we look decidedly
sinister for some reason.



Three friendly people?


Work tomorrow.

Happy Valentine's Day!!!!!

I saw so many couples clutching flowers and bears and balloons, im developing a phobia.


4 of us at work. Shared money and bought a chocolate cake to "celebrate" amongst ourselves. Not that we're all single. SOME people are probably out smooching now. Or clubbing.

Had a hell of a time trying to figure out blogger. Dont go back to my old blog, i think its gonna be gone for good. something's wrong with the server or something.

Submitted in my JAE application yesterday and working on my JSPAE application now. I have to submit three under-five-hundred-word essays by tomorrow 4pm.

Or before i sleep technically, because im going out tomorrow.

Shit.
