happy week

it’s monday!
no monday blues for me.
other than the fact that i had so much trouble trying to scan a few photos and until now, i’ve yet to get them scanned…
tonight, tonight.
maybe i should really invest in a scanner so that i can scan anything anytime.
roarrrr.

but whatever, i’m excited!
i love my schedule.
gonna be busy busy this week, starting Wednesday, with xmas celebrations and all :)
and then i’m gonna be flying off to shanghai on sunday.

actually i’m a bit sad that i’m gonna be away for new years, and the trip is a bit too long for my liking.
been hearing that there isn’t much in shanghai to stay for 8 days.
shall go do some research now…


by the way, i’m very proud of my creation. :)
only two copies in the entire world.
glad you love it! :)

in other good news, i just heard today that my paycheck for some freelance work is coming in within a week. woohoo!
just in time for my trip.

wen’s a happy girl :D

paycheck makes me happy!

BOOMZ!

exploding! but yeah. shall keep to myself.
someone up there will look after me no matter what happens.

anyway…
gotta get up at 5am tomorrow. bloody early!
setting off for our 4 day roadtrip to malaysia.
i’m gonna have fun.
and i’m gonna be happy.

Azur Buffet

    

 

looks yummy, right?
this cost us $40.50nett per person.
feel cheated :(

they say you get 50% off with a DBS/POSB card if you have 2 pax
but who knew that if you’re in a group of 8 pax, you can only use that offer once within your group!
and you can only split the bill in two for one table.
if we knew, we would have sat at different tables :(

but anyway, i had a good time.
more good food tonight, i think.
woohoo! :)

mid November already!

half a month gone,
half a month of being jobless!
about time for an official update, huh.

so here goes…

i’ve been out and about almost everyday, meeting friends and catching up with different people, some of which i haven’t met in a long time.
and it always ends on the same note- let’s meet up again soon.
i hope it actually materializes, as it so often seems otherwise.

finally finished reading the twilight series and it was definitely a good read.
my favourite of the series is Breaking Dawn, but it’ll be a super long wait for the movie, if there is one.
now i need more good books for my bus/mrt journeys wherever.
can i borrow Marley & Me, or Time Traveller’s Wife from anyone?

been watching a lot of movies too- a lot, in my standards.
never used to watch an average of 2 movies in 2 weeks.
let’s see what have i got so far: 500 Days of Summer, My Sister’s Keeper, Poker King, My Girlfriend is an Agent & Paranormal Activity.
looking forward to more :)

also, i’ve been following Vampire Diaries.
needless to say, ian somerhalder is so divine and paul wesley really pales in comparison (although he does grow on you eventually).
and i’m not just watching it because i’m bored, or because ian is in it.
the story is actually quite good and leaves me begging for the next episode every time.

don't know why the tagline is so cheesy.

and out of boredom, i’ve also started following 海派甜心, starring Xiao Zhu and Rainie. not bad lah, very funny and entertaining. :)

click to watch the 1st episode on youtube!
 
i think i should already have gotten started with the guitar by now
but the internet gets the better of me all the time.
am still behind schedule for some things/work i set myself to do on the computer
but there are always random distractions like msn, facebook, blogs etc.
so the guitar has been made to wait. i’m sorry, dear.

i’ve been telling myself to wake up before noon, and so far, i’ve disappointed myself twice. only? or already?
haha, i don’t know.
but i do know that being jobless gets you sucked into a vicious cycle of sleeping late, then waking up late because there’s nothing much important to do most mornings.
not so healthy, i say.
i need more self-discipline.

speaking of healthy, i’m starting a running regime.
up for 2 weeks now; hopefully it lasts.
self-discipline again!

so that’s what i’ve been doing.
what’s coming up?

my awesome travelling adventure starts next week!
heading for the gold coast down under next friday, 27 nov (already!)
gonna be gone for a week,
then off for starcruise over the weekend of 4 – 6 dec.
and then kl/cameroon highlands 9 – 12 dec
and perhaps chongqing china some time after that.
i’ll be around for christmas! :)
and off to shanghai china again, 27 dec for a week.
hopefully cambodia in january is still on :)

woohoo! wen is a happy girl!

FAQ

I’ve had wayyy too many people asking me these questions! It’s not a pain to hear these questions, really. It’s nice to know that people are interested. But it’s quite a pain to answer them over and over again. So here it is. The answers you’ve been looking for. Haha.

Please still talk to me, I really don’t mind. I mean, I would love to talk to you guys! Just that this is so much easier than repeating myself again and again.


What are you planning to do after you quit?
Bum around, hang loose, hopefully travel a bit. Will still be part-timing & freelancing so that I still have a bit of income, so if anyone has any temporary job openings, please let me know! Thank you.

So what’s been planned so far?
Gold Coast, Australia, late Nov to early Dec for a week or two. With a bunch of 11-12 year old kids. Should be fun, I hope.
Hopefully Cambodia with Yang in January is still going through. Anyone else wants to tag along?
Might be going to Shanghai for about 6 days as well… Shopping trip I think. Not too sure when yet. November?

When are you leaving for New Zealand? How long are you staying there for?
After CNY, which is in February, so that I can collect angpows first. Haha. Planning to get a pick-apples kinda job there. Just to experience living in a foreign country, have fun and relax. Hopefully I’ll come back in June?

Anything else lined up after NZ?
Am considering heading to Sweden to look for Huihui(W) in July, but haven’t given it much thought in detail. Will see if I still have enough money left to bum around till then.

What happens after that?
I guess by then it’s about time I took myself and my life seriously.

closure

it came earlier than expected, but just as well.

please understand
if i’m walking too fast for you these days

i think it helps me avoid looking back
keeps me in the mood of looking forward, moving forward
don’t stop me in my tracks

it’s time to build more memories on my own, without him in the picture
to replace the overflowing moments that we had in the past 2.5 years

anyone wants to dive in september? a short and budget one!
need 1 more female khaki for bangkok in october too!

let me know!! :)

DIY Baked Rice

I just went and try to cook baked rice for myself
and now that it's in the oven, I've decided that I don't want to risk a stomachache before going on holiday.............
So I'm going to dump what I cooked, and eat out.

HAHA

Going on Cruise!

My 2nd time, and the first was 8 years ago!
This time we're going to Redang... Perhaps I'll get to go for a dive or two :D

-

I've finally started on the collage I've been meaning to do since donkey years ago.

HarryPotter!

Whee!!! I'm done with Harry Potter Goblet of Fire! Hahaha. I know it's no big deal lah... For many people. But I hardly ever read! :D Now I feel like watching the movie again... Haha.

Now I'll start watching Desperate Housewives Season 3... And when I'm done, I'll start reading the next Harry Potter book.

Hohoho. Ok I'm quite high. Time for dinner! :)

Earth Hour 2009

Do it.

28th March 2009
2030 - 2130 hrs

I have perfect eyesight!

It's amazing and impressive how a few shots of laser can cure myopia!
Shall spare you the gruesome procedure.
Now I feel like I'm wearing permanent contact lenses.
It is awesome to wake up with perfect eyesight, go to bed with perfect eyesight without having to worry about contact lenses!
Haha :)

If anyone's interested/curious, I spent about $3000 on both eyes + medication, and each follow up costs $20. First couple of evaluations before the op totalled up to about $300. The place I went to was Clearvision Eye Clinic behind Lucky Plaza.
Getting tired of your lack of sense of remorse.
Hungry and craving for pizza!

Fly N Dive

Philippines tomorrow! Flight in about 20 hours, and I haven't start packing at all. Let's hope I have everything I need at home!

Heh. I can't wait to dive :)

And I just realised that it's quite fun hanging out with my girlfriends and their boyfriends, talking about Lizards and any-riders. Hmmmm.

Wala Wala with the Combat Crew was fun too. Check out facebook for proof.

Oh. Life is great. :)

Play makes me happy!!!

Brewerkz

An overdose of X Golden at Kallang Brewerkz last Friday saw me puking, getting high and losing part of my memory. It was the drunkest I've ever got, and hopefully, will ever get... Although the best thing about it was that I didn't even feel nauseatic or the urge to vomit at all. The gunk just came out from my mouth ever so conveniently... Onto the table, into the jug, into the toilet bowl, onto the grass. That should be all.

Thought I'd have recovered from the mental abstaintion from beer, but just one pint of X Golden was more than enough for my taste buds at Clarke Quay Brewerkz yesterday. Or maybe it was just X Golden. I should have ordered something else. The Angel Hair Pasta was horrid, so horrid that both Mengzhi and I had 8/10 of the pasta untouched when our plates were cleared. DO NOT ORDER ANGEL HAIR PASTA AT BREWERKZ! No complaints about other food though, except that their steak could use some garnish. (At the moment I'm thinking, dayum, we should've took photos!!! Rahhh...)

That should keep me off Brewerkz for some time.

-

I keep seeing photos of myself with my short hair about 15 months ago and darn, I think I looked good! And so it's tempting to snip snip off my ponytail but I don't wanna wait eons for it to grow. I keep convincing myself that I should keep it longer and eventually perm it, or something, but I feel kinda fugly these days and I'm afraid this feeling will last longer than I like.

Haha, okay I should sleep! Instead of thinking about such junk, when there are better things to worry about, like having to wake early tomorrow to face a busy day. :)
