endless lit streets and paper cranes

After jumping around in sheer ecstacy cause my lappie was working, i went to go meet Sing yi in town.

Walked ALOT. getting to starbucks was like, i dunno, we took the BIGGEST detour ever. Steve i think ure lucky you didnt come today, you'd have DIED.

Got flipflops and exfoliater. yay. gonna buy body scrub tomorrow. the ones at body shop smelt funky. 0_o

went to starbucks for a while then i went to work while Singyi waited for me. yay <333333

Sweetie Singyi.

Hey i alliterared!

Work was fucking tiring today. Sudden woosh! and one helluva crowd came in. siaoness can. and there was these two men that came in at around 8, and didnt leave even though we were closing. wtf la. i was damn impatient. couldnt wait to go. chionged sweeping and mopping the minute the left.

Timmy came down too =)

Walked down this street filled with trannies. Fuck sia. alot of THINGS (cause the trannies didnt look humanly) at night. urg urg urg.

cabbed back to Singyi's place and im here now. waiting for macs to come. LOL.

ok i dont really feel like updating.

anyway, a few pics from the last outing.

i think this is damn cool, although we didnt mean to take it this way.

me and steve! (on the floor in forum)

spastic-ism.

me and that crazy bestie-for-life of mine.

breakfast tomorrow, starbucks! im officially addicted to their lattes.

Just a quick update before i go do my stuff.

MY LOVELY BEAUTIFUL MIRACULOUS GENIUS SMARTASS LAPTOP FIXED ITSELF. RAAAHHH!!!!!!!!

MUAHAHAH!!

THANK YOU LORD!! YOU ARE AMAZING.

And He truly is. As usual i turned to Him in times of need and whaddya know? My laptop!! IT LIVES!!! *cues mad scientist laughter.

Seriously!

I woke up, wisps of cloudy dream from last night slowly disappearing, and i had this feeling that something got repaired. This was at 7 this morning. I tried turning on my lappie and like, there was this whirling sound and the screen burst to life.

ZOMGGGGGGGG.

That whirling sound. the most beautiful music ever.

Omg laaaaa. im damn damn damn happy can!

but there's still the tea smell, which i tried to mask by dabbing Anna Sui perfume on it so now they've come together to give off this seriously funky smell. have.to.air.it.out.

meeting Sy and Steve later before work and then they're going to wait for me until after i finish work and then we'll go over to Sy's place. so sweet right. <3s manymanymanymanymanymany.

Hi all.

Woke at 1 and ive been sitting in front of the tv till now.

work tomorrow. must find something to do before work.

my mom just gave me.. interesting news.

she says one of her company's investors is going to offer me a writing internship for a research company in New Delhi next summer. Which is the next long break.

It sounds cool. Great opportunity and all but like, 1 month in India all alone is kinda sad la. even with msn. i wont get paid, just free lodging and food.

and it WOULD look good on my resume.

not to be ungrateful, but, why couldnt it be in New York or something? lol. ah oh well.

its still an amazing opportunity.

we shall see. =)

Ah. we'll see. im not THAT certain it'll go through anyway.

i shall go eat ice cream for dinner.

tata =)

*add on*

DAMMIT.

IM REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY PISSED OFF.

I cleverly spilled green tea (oh the irony) onto my keypad and in a moment of panic, i tilted the whole lappie backwards and the tea went into the hole at the back.

which according to Mok is where the guts of the computer are.

and also according to Mok, if my logicboard is damaged, it might cost me $1000.

GAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

$1000?! wtf! i pray that apple people are going to buy my sad story tomorrow. im going to fake TEARS if i have to. what the hell la. and my day was going well. shiiiiiiit.

Going to send it to apple with Ling and Steve tomorrow before work. damn. if i have to pay, i hope my boss lets me takes next month's allowance first. and i still have a spoilt camera that needs fixing.

and to make matters oh so peachy, its like fucking WW3 here. (or 4, after the thai revolts and shit =p ) GAH. why why why. happy hump day indeed.

i so dont want to stay at home. thankfully i got a full day ahead tomorrow.

it just hit me. i was complaining of nothing to do before work tomorrow. wow. thanks ah, now i have stuff to do.

fuck-a-duck. i really dont want to stay at home. im thinking of extending the sleepover STARTING TOMORROW NIGHT but i have no where to sleep before fri. ahhhh.

oh yes life is peachy.

actually, life isnt so bad cause i have the sweetest people EVER around me. Steve listened to me rant even tho my ranting wasnt nice to listen to (i was punctuating every sentence with 'fuck'), Singyi was listening to me even though she was at work, Ling was listening to me even though her lappie is also spoilt but she wasnt even complaining half as much as i was, Mehul listened to me even though i dont really talk to him online but yet was sensitive enough to listen anyway, Nigel was trying to be funny and cheering me up, Mok was googling stuff for me and trying to help me out and Timmy was being uber uber sweet by ignoring all my 'bye' smses even though he was having dinner, and im sure he had a long day at work. (Char would have consoled me too, only she wasnt online.)

HELLO. yes life, hit me with all ya got cause i know no matter, i'll still be able to life my head and stand tall. i have the best friends ever la. yes, despite a soggy laptop and despire WW3/4 raging here, im actually really lucky. =)

Ive been drinking so much liquids i think i slosh when i walk.

OK. today.

Went down to cityhall to meet Timmy for lunch. =)

passed by the miss sixty accessory store at Raffles. omg la i miss them crazy asses so much. i feel like i missed out on so much. =( must must go down again soon.

then i went down to town at around 3-ish and hung around Starbucks till it was time to go to work.

First day at Jerry's!

ok i was damn "eh?" at first cause the minute i got in, she started throwing information at me. the table numbers which jumped around, the uber long menu and the proper way to write down and order. it hit me like a big yellow school bus man.

but after a while i got pretty used to it so its like, a few more times and im going to be a natural. muahahaa.

otherwise work is ok. my boss is nice, and everyone (2 chefs and 1 cleaner- i know sad) else seems pretty nice too. havent really gotten around to talking to them yet. oh well.

time did go by pretty quickly. thank God i can sms la. really quiet at work. i keep getting jobs that just require me to stand around until its time for closing. but i bet the place will be crazy on weekends.

did closing and i was made to mop and sweep. freak i havent touched a broom in YEARS (c'mon vaccuum cleaner!) and mop like, maybe 5 times in my entire lifetime. cheesecake.

managed to closed by 11 and i took the train to marina bay and back. napped for abit. =)

cabbed home from yishun. no more bus. muahaha.

yay. i get to sleep in tomorrow.

Hello world!

Click here!!

Missy Quek Singyi made this video for me. SHE IS THE BEST CAN. i felt like crying when i was watching it. I didnt, but i definitely teared up. That's a first! I was really really touched. i have the bestest friend in the world la. all mine! muahaha.

Thank you so much! Very10 sweet of you. yay. xD

Love you many!!

Went with Singyi to TTSH. Her eye condition is getting better and better. Thank God. see i told you it wasnt so easy to get blind. and ure going to get your Gucci glasses. LOL. blessing in disguise.

The wait was long, so we walked around Novena square. saw the uber cute spongebob keychain again but i didnt buy it. i wont use it anyway. i saw the lego shirt i wanted to buy too, but i didnt cause i decided it would look good on a girl. Its a guy's cut. And im not going to spend $30 for something im going to end up sleeping in.

Had a latte at Starbucks. ahh caffenine.

Went to united square after her eye check and walked around. We went to Guess? kids to try on the guys shirts. LOL. eh it was nice la. too bad i didnt have enough money on me. pfffffft.

then we went to mccafe for coffees. it wasnt very nice so im never going back to mccafe for coffees. and the lady working there asked if i was from china or japan. like, wtf china?? do i really have THAT much of a cheena face?

cheesecake.

Singyi accompanied me back to Yishun. thank you many!

and and. the train was terminating at yishun and like, this bangala didnt get off. ROFL. he was shouting to get out but the door closed. ahhahahahahahaha.

went to northpoint to meet daddy. bought 3 polo tees for work. yay.

bought Tristan & Isolde too. i shall go watch it after tutoring my brother and cry.

ahh work at Jerry's tomorrow. please dont let me screw up.

tata.

Went to church today!

Yes it felt good being back at church and feeling God's presence. Its starting to feel weird when i not go to church. Something just doesnt feel right when i dont.

Service was good. I remembered this line from the sermon.

"You cannot find yourself in yourself, you can only find yourself in God"

For some reason, it really hit home.

Then went with everyone for dinner at PS. Once again i didnt eat cause i still cannot effing taste anything. everything is still BLAND. but ok la, better than last time when i really couldnt taste NUTS.

Then we all went to visit Jamie at B&Js. Had my second latte of the day. i think im seriously beginning to get addicted to coffee. like my parents. 0_0

Then i met Tim at Dhoby and went back to yishun.

we saw this anime version of starwars.

HAHAHAHAHA.

like, wtf??? did creativity like, die out without me knowing or something?

went to return my long overdue cd i rented. costed me $10. dammit. actually $16 but the lady was nice enough to just charge me $10. i shall be nicer to her and less impatient the next time i try to rent something and she takes ~~10 000 years~~ a, er, longer time to find what i want.

didnt buy Tristan and Isolde. shall go down to Borders and use my 20% vouchers. before friday, so can watch during the sleepover and everyone can weep.

yes, more traditional. xP

one more sleep and the busy week will hit me like a big yellow schoolbus.

Woke up at around 9 today and it felt like someone was smashing my head with a mallet. My throat felt raw and my body felt heavy.

Flu. Fuck it.

Couldnt go to work so i had to message Pauline. I feel damn bad. second time already.

went back to sleep and woke up around lunch time. bummed around using the com and then went to town with my family.

town. so sick of that place already.

Daddy took me to borders and i bought 3 novels and the Memoirs of a Geisha vcd. i just felt lik e watching it. i saw Tristan and Isolde too. decided to get it another day. shall not spend so much in one day.

dinner at newton after that. i had one pineapple slice. LOL. my appetite is seriously effed. oh well, im not complaining.

Er. walked around heeren until Singyi came after school and we went to starbucks to chill. sat there till dinner time and went to to kopitian at the youth park. borders, and then home.

yes today was a really nice day. and on several levels.

suffice to say, i can promise that i'll always be there for my friends. esp these few people. love them to bits. ling and steve too of course. x)

hope your back get better soon Ling!

i feel really happy.

im just like, blown away by the course of events that's happened in the last few days. it was like, sudden but like, it feels right.

ever had the feeling you know its just different? this is one of them.

because it is. its so very different as compared to the others. i always thought that every beginning would be the same as what i felt the very first time, and i guess i would have continued to believe that because every new time, it felt exactly the same way as the first.

until now.

its odd how it took so long for me to realize that it isnt all generic. im so disgustingly happy its all i can do from gushing like a sappy blonde cheerleader.

im so happy that im actually tearing in the midst of smiling like a lunatic. i feel close to bursting.

me. the cold, cynical, suspicious and cold hearted bitch. wow.

im glad that after all the wrong/dumb/rash choices ive made, ive finally made one that actually feels very right. and it is. the timing is just so very right. everything fell so beautifully into place. the best thing is, how similarly mutual it all is and that in itself offers alot of security and assurance. i really dont know how to express exactly how i feel, because i cant spot on pin point THE feeling. its just definitely different. in a good way of course.

you make me smile. alot.

and you're so very special.

maybe, just maybe, i'll get what love is for real this time.

thank you Char! i owe u!

char, i want you to know that whatever is, whenever it is, im always gonna be here for you. i may not be able to open up alot but every tear you shed, and every laughter you er, laugh, IM HERE OK. no matter what, you can count on me! you're a truly wonderful person and you really deserve the best of everything and i want to make sure you get what you so rightly deserve. you've been there for me, helped me so very much and its the least i can do to assure you that i'll be your shoulder to cry on and your pillar of strength. x) i love you k!

quek singyi. same goes for you! i appreciate how you've always been there for me, and i'll forever do the same to you. i dont have to say much, cause i know you know how i feel. you're my best friend for life so let's grow, laughing and crying every step of the way together. <333333333s>

yeah i know. mona is emo today. i cant believe i just bared so much on my blog though.

I have the flu. Mild flu though, not the keep-you-in-bed kind.

But i cant fucking taste my food. the only thing i can taste is H20. wtf.

ok. went to work today. i spent 10 minutes debating whether to go or not after i bathed and i decided to go. im damn broke. i need money. HAAAY WHO WANTS TO DONATE TO THE SAVE-THE-LAST-OF-THE-MONAS FUND?

thank you dale for the cheezles!! veryx2 sweet x)

Did catering today. was sniffing like hell in the cab. had smoothie for lunch. why? cause 150% vitamic C. whack ah. i also bought orange juice later on. i feel better. slightly.

met mr timmy tan (LOL ure name is alliterated) at city hall and we walked around like, citylink and marina square. nyehnyehnyeh your earring is funky. xP

STEVE i know what to buy for your birthday!!!

then then i had to leave and meet my family for dinner. didnt eat much, no appetite and i couldnt smell or taste anything anyway.

then i dragged daddy to buy me a top i saw at rastafari. Carribean MEN'S shirt. yes. men. but cool. so who cares.

i bought another long sleeved shirt while walking back to meet mom/bro. i just realized its also a men's top. -.- cheese i have a fetish. LOL. but aiya. baggy. good for lecture naps. yay.

then got home. and i need to go bathe. i dont feel like uploading the rest of the photos now. maybe later or tomorrow.

going out tomorrow. yay. i miss my friends alot please.

did you know you make me smile? x)

I tell you. GOD IS AMAZING. i mean duh la, but today He proved that He cares even about the trivial matters in our life so long we pray and believe in Him.

i put my phone in my apron at work and like, the pocket is in front and it opens up. and i have a habit of splashing water at the sink when washing up so my phone normally gets doused.

today it nearly DIED. too much water. it went black and i couldnt turn it on for ages. i started to panic. i was in the midst of sms-ing alot of people and i needed to reply. immediate, reaction, PRAY.

and then THANK GOD, IT STARTED TO WORK. LIKE, HALLELUJAH CAN. had several important smses and i was lucky i could reply them. Yes, even i trivial matters like a phone not working, God is still here for us so i am damn sure He'll be there for us in times of desperate need. and it has happened before so PRAISE LORD. x)

Didnt do nuts today.

Bummed around at home. Did housework (haha) and then went to meet mom for dinner.
