Wednesday, December 10, 2014 - [productive days in SG C: ]
Quick post to update whoever about what I've been doing. Life in SG is really productive compared to life in Brisbane. Not sure if its just me but in Briz I love staying at home and being a couch potato and just doing stuff around the house.
In SG? nope. Go out every chance I get.
After my sleepover at DY's, the family went to East Coast Park C: one of my favourite places in SG. Just a big old beach with a long cycling and jogging path and great hawker food. Every time I come home we go there, and every time I'll write the same things about it.
Of course the beach isn't that empty, but the other stock photos look bad ):
This is a clearer depiction, so we dumped our stuff at the little hut pavillion thing and we played a terrible game of frisbee with a rubber frisbee. We hit some people, it flew to the water, into the trees... XD
Sister went to build a sandcastle with bro and I went cycling with my stepmom and dad (who cycled ahead) My stepmom is the epitome of thin yet extremely unfit people. She had difficulty cycling on a flat road after a couple minutes. I took the chance of our 2hour rental to cycle very slowly .. .. and talking to her about so much stuff C: was a good chat.
Oh yea, look the park is pretty big, that circle is about 20km, who wouldn't love cycling or skating down 20kms of flat road ~
While my sister had fun shifting lumps of sand, there were those who..
Next day!
I had meant to go meet Eeling my dearest old friend but we've rescheduled so I went out with DY again. My sole purpose of that day was to buy a Bikini String. Because I recently went to Surfer's Paradise before I came back to SG and after washing the Bikini, the string was separated though I swear upon every god ever I washed it and hung it to dry, it disappeared into the basket of dry clothes and never resurfaced.
Of course who would sell me a plain string without buying the set .. so I did not accomplish what I set out to do.
Instead I bought wonderfulicious
Green Tea Kit Kat!
Thank you for the exports Japan C:
Also bought a some Canvas and Painting set with DY, will not spoil the surprise until it's completed, but it's preeetttty cool
Before I forget here's a picture of us in DY's Salon C: can you spot her? (No she's not the one in white)
STEAMBOAT DINNER :333333
Don't worry we went to gather more plates of meat, this was just the appetizers :D
NEXT DAY MONDAY,
met up with Sinyean, Dinnie, DY and Jun at Playnation (a board game cafe!)
But before that, there's a Cat Cuddles Cafe right beside it
This is unlike the cafe I worked at, this one has xbox and wii setups too, so you can have the board game package or the video games one or both with free flow of soft drinks! This is a great city .. :')
30minutes after we arrived the whole cafe was packed :o we started off with party games
Got to play the famous Cards Against Humanity for the first time ~
oops.
My haul included killer heels, a blazer, lingerie, make-up .. a birthday cake and gift for my brother ..
This morning they've all disappeared so I can't take photos of anything ):
Here have my new suitcase wheel which fairies replaced for me while I was out :D
How in the world can he or she reuse a deactivated sim card and still have access to my contacts tho.
Look at the ferocious being ! All I could think of is ..

I know 90% of the Non-Asian readers will go EEEUUUGHHHGHGHGHGHHG, well too bad you weren't brought up with a multitude of flavours like we did. This is why Japan has the longest life expectancy, because they have so much to live for! Wonderful food and crazy inventions, ridiculously nice scenery, hot springs.. etc goddammit Japan.
And curiously, Singapore's ranked 2nd, although our suicide rate is really high too .

Got to play the famous Cards Against Humanity for the first time ~
oops.
Moved on to the couches and we played Mario Party 9 which was a mega disappointment after playing Mario Party 2. WHAI NINTENDO WHAI U DO DIS. Repeated mini games, Bowser gave out coins instead of stealing, the map was probably only 20squares, was nothing NOTHING I TELL YOU, compared to Mario Party 2.
Friendships were not ruined, tho there was one mini game about launching a rocket, and well .. this is a wiimote (I think that's its name) and .. well .. you shake the controller up and down as hard and fast as you can for about 30seconds and see who's rocket flies the highest..
surprise
surprise
the girls' rockets fell off significantly earlier than the guys .. hmmm ... hmmm ..
Had dinner with Uncle Jafar after and family, will see him on Saturday morning 7am in London ~
Tuesday, was my brother's birthday, while he was at work I spent the day shopping with mom. Altho I bought a heap of stuff...
My haul included killer heels, a blazer, lingerie, make-up .. a birthday cake and gift for my brother ..
This morning they've all disappeared so I can't take photos of anything ):
Here have my new suitcase wheel which fairies replaced for me while I was out :D
The happy boy had received two cakes from his office, 1 from me and 1 more from our stepmom, happyboy89 loves cakes ! He's a quarter of a century old :3
Was a long day, was just about to sit and relax and then .. DUN DUN DUUUUUNNNN...
THIS mothafoooker, with the number 96301994 started using Line to text my friends using my name for god knows what reason.
PLEASE IGNORE. BLOCK. REPORT SPAM. whatever, it's not me. I don't use Line.
Told my dad there's an imposter using my old number to text my friends and I told him to call the number to threaten the person, because that's what dads are for right? :DD stupid coward didn't answer several calls. ALSO I just texted the number I would report him or her to the police and Singapore's a reaaaaal Fine country so yeah he or she probably got scared .
How in the world can he or she reuse a deactivated sim card and still have access to my contacts tho.
ANYWAY, here's pictures of a furry new friend to brighten your days! It's Wednesdayyyy the weekend is almost here for you non-holiday people.
Look at the ferocious being ! All I could think of is ..

Thursday, April 03, 2014 - [mega update: party, makeup, goodies ! ]
So much has happened recently ! ! !
Not even exaggerating, mm where to begin where to begin.
1. Laptop is still not fixed ): so sadly I'm using Zac's one with the wonky trackpad, I've just procrastinated too much on blogging, I really want my macbook back T_T .. Speaking of which, probably getting a new one which is $2,399, or $3,199 whoopee doo. Just why did you have to die on me, what did I ever do to you ): I know everybody's gonna tell me not to buy a Mac again, like whyyy? One just died on you and you wanna buy it again. I've just really grown used to it and I really like it. SO SHHHHHHHHH.
2. So recently let's see, I had my first ever Super Smash Brothers Melee tournament. I didn't exactly sign up for the Singles division but I played anyway O_O Was a pretty small place, a trading card store I believe. I can remember some faces now hurray. So because it was our 1st year anniversary Zac said he would team up with me in Doubles ~ Naturally we lost 4 games in a row. XD I even wore Mr.Woxy (the giant bow Dave got for me) to the tourney! D: didn't bring me much luck. Mr. Woxy is powerless without Dave ! DDD:
I really wanted the Mario one ): which Zac claims is his tournament controller but about a couple months ago he tried to sell it on eBay. Actually he did. It sold and I scolded him for selling such a pretty controller. Give me to me if you don't want it. He ended up telling the buyer that our house was robbed and the controller was stolen or damaged or something like that and apologized.
The buyer gave him a 5star rating saying "Honest seller!"
WOOOOWWWWWWWW..
Assignments ARGH.
I'm sure I've said this already, but the workload feels significantly bigger this year than the previous years. <s>So after slacking for 4weeks,</s> I've been doing work consistently now, keeping up with lectures, doing my own revisions and chipping away at assignments each day.
Especially with Film Analysis class, the lecturer makes so many references to movies I've heard of but never seen or never heard of. He plays lots of clips in class to demonstrate the mise en scene, symbolism, narrative structure etc. There's also this dude in my class who raises his hand every minute and asks a question of inserts a comment. I'm sure both the lecturer and my tutor are pretty annoyed by him. He seems to have seen every movie show shortfilm documentary thingy ever and knows every one in the entire history of film. It makes me worry alittle. I mean yeah, I wanna produce so I probably need more people skills, time management and negotiating skills than all that knowledge. But still... that dude's scary.
Been watching a movie each night, or trying to, sometimes I'm just really sleepy.. actually I watched 2 movies in a night other night. See I'm so hardworking. Watched the more famous shows like Titanic, Pulp Fiction, Forrest Gump, and some other films like Juno, Red Dog, Princess Bride and The Great Gatsby for analysis. Maybe some of you think the films aren't that great but when you have to dissect each frame of the film: why this line or particular word was said, why the director chose to focus that one extra second on this object, why the objects in the background are arranged that way, you realize how truly amazing they are.
I think Zac's been enjoying my film homework because he's always scooting over to watch with me :3
Yeah.. we finished Titanic at about 4am. lulz. But I enjoyed in thoroughly despite being sleepy. I used to study Literature in school, mind you I was total pro :3 And sometimes when I have to do analysis I feel so disorientated, sort of. I keep thinking I should really be reading the script or the original book and analyze that instead. Because stuff like themes and motifs are probably not created by the director but it's in the original story and the director has to put that in otherwise the story isn't properly translated to film.
People always ask the tutor, was that really meant to be there? was that just a coincidence. From what I've learnt in high school and junior college. There is no such thing as coincidence.
4. 60s themed 60th birthday
It was Zac's papa's birthday the past weekend, after the Smash tourney, also our anniversary XD (I enjoy saying that alot because it feels like we've been together longer than a year, but no it's only been a year :o) So we got him two books but this one didn't arrive in time, so it's currently sitting on our desk. I flipped through it and it's pretty interesting but I have my own lecture slides to read so maybe another time ):
Thankfully the Playbook arrived, he received alot of AFL related gifts though, so why not one more sports related gift
So this party.
Zac was legit freaking out over the costumes so on the day itself we went to hire a set of costumes. Not that we're last minute people, the shops in the city unexpectedly closed at 4pm on a Friday, supposedly late night shopping on Fridays. And the other stores we tried to go to had closed down. Now isn't that convenient.
First thing that caught my eye were those boots on the left of the picture. AHHHHH . I got a pair of white ones because I HAD TO !!!
He's very in love with it now, he carresses it a few times a day :x
Also our fabbbuuuu new sheeets ! 450dorra reduced to 180dorra. Hurrraaayyyyy !! The sheets seem to get softer with each sleep (:
That's all clothes, and a hat, coats and stuff :3 one lovely package from Sports Girl. I'm just so lazy to go buy it from the physical store :x It came by express post the very next day anyway!
Not even exaggerating, mm where to begin where to begin.

D: didn't bring me much luck. Mr. Woxy is powerless without Dave ! DDD:
Of course the loss is entirely my fault, but in my defence, I haven't touched the gamecube controller in months my fingers felt weird and I was never good in my history of 1hour of playing Smash. Also picked Peach which I barely use just because I thought she'd be easy to float around and survive but nah, I shoulda used Marth all the way :x [All the while before this day arrived Zac's like "oh yea, we probs make it to top 3 or so" so that went well :3 Sad that he had to forfeit his Grand Finals round because we had other engagements, so the mighty Syke finally didn't emerge Champion at a tourney XD]
Also second big excuse for playing badly is that I was given the Orange controller.
I really wanted the Mario one ): which Zac claims is his tournament controller but about a couple months ago he tried to sell it on eBay. Actually he did. It sold and I scolded him for selling such a pretty controller. Give me to me if you don't want it. He ended up telling the buyer that our house was robbed and the controller was stolen or damaged or something like that and apologized.

WOOOOWWWWWWWW..
(I don't know why the picture is blur)
The funny way humans behave around material things. lol (:
3. Because of assignments .. been going out lesser recently ): I miss our Wednesdays. Also my timetable's changed abit so .. .. .. ):

I didn't think there would be a present unwrapping ceremony at the part :x I guess I should reserve the multi-layer giftwrapping for Dengz hahahaha :P Oh yeah got him 2 Harry Potter Blurays to add to his collection.
So this party.
Zac was legit freaking out over the costumes so on the day itself we went to hire a set of costumes. Not that we're last minute people, the shops in the city unexpectedly closed at 4pm on a Friday, supposedly late night shopping on Fridays. And the other stores we tried to go to had closed down. Now isn't that convenient.
First thing that caught my eye were those boots on the left of the picture. AHHHHH . I got a pair of white ones because I HAD TO !!!
This outfit was so comfy and well cut, I wuuvvvv it ! I guess the pictures don't do much justice to it, Chris (Zac's brother-in-law) probably has some better ones after all he only took about 600 photos that night XD
Zac hired the Austin Powers costume. Aww he's so cuuuteeeee ASDFT@$^#&Q#%!?
Did you know it was our anniversary that day? Which is the 29th of March, which was Good Friday in 2013.
It was my first time going to the Mehonoshens' house. I really stopped myself from taking pictures after someone told me "You know, people generally don't like pictures of their house taken". So I'm sorry the beautiful place shall remain in my head and unknown to the internet. I think they did a splendid job of hosting the party, the layout of the party was nice, the food and drinks were good. The girls baked deeeelicious cupcakes for everyone!
Intially this was covered by a cloth and I thought wowwww Len gets a 3-tiered birthday cake! Red Velvettttt, if you know me, you know I dislike pastries, cakes, breads and stuff, except I like donuts and pies. But I usually never eat sweet stuff, so if I do eat it and I say I like it, you've really done well :DD
5. I was left at home alone for a couple hours the other day, and I was procrastinating so I went to play with the little make-up I have. I really need a new liquid eyeliner, and a white eyeliner and blush and some new eyeshadow brushes and probably a nice red lipstick - yes steph I still haven't gotten my Russian Red ): I should probably get a tube of mascara as well because the only tube I have is probably dried up and yeah.. I think I should get some bronzer and better concealer lol. THAT'S ALMOST EVERYTHING! STEPH HALPPPPP ~
Anyway I did my best, sorta, I didn't try to draw the perfect curve or tail actually, yes so I did my best with the wig, eyeliner and brown contacts. I also finally managed to put on fake eyelashes hurray!! I usually take 10years to put it on and then I give up because it's always threatening to fall off and looks like it's poking out and feels weird and my eyelids are stuck together.. etc etc . I'm so happy I succeeded. Also I can always put it on the left eye and never the right. God that's so weird, I'm right-handed but the left eye's eyeliner will always look better and I can always draw it in one smooth stroke but I colour the shit out of the right eye -_____________-
Anyways so fun being a girl!
Do I look Anime yet, will Senpai notice me?
The wig is soooo fabulous, I really want to wear it out but Zac and Len said "NAH! Doesn't suit you" *ultimate heart break* It feels good too, 'cause I miss having a fringe after having a fringe for about 5 years I decided to grow it out last year :3
6. NEW THINGS AGAIN ! YUSSSS, I've recently received gigantic parcels and several small ones to the point that Zac's like "EH WOMAN, WHAT IS ALL THIS. YOU STAHP SPENDING RITE NAO"
but really everything I'll show you now added up to $200 D: But before we get to my stash .. Zac bought a new bag!! :DDD It was 40dorra from Typo. It's very amazing and I have to talk about this because Zac never buys anything unrelated to Computers or Games or Consoles or ... stuff like that. He doesn't buy clothes or shoes or normal man stuff, I have to make him get them lol. Although he was frowning at me alittle saying .. "It's so cute ! But it's .... $40"
was priceless. lmao. Just buy it you dopey, I'm so glad you WANT to get something for yourself.
He's very in love with it now, he carresses it a few times a day :x
Also our fabbbuuuu new sheeets ! 450dorra reduced to 180dorra. Hurrraaayyyyy !! The sheets seem to get softer with each sleep (:
And the blue is so pretty. Sleeping in the ocean :x
My turn now !! 2 of such packages have arrived and other mini ones ~ and one final one is due to arrive ehuehuehuehue ! But really only $200 in total for everything
That's all clothes, and a hat, coats and stuff :3 one lovely package from Sports Girl. I'm just so lazy to go buy it from the physical store :x It came by express post the very next day anyway!
Yeahh umm so that's the stack of stuff that came in the mail, also bought 2 new dresses they day I got the new sheets but that doesn't count :x
One of the mini packages carried my new giraffe phone case! LUUUCCCC IT'S ADORRWAABBLEEEEEE and has a really nice texture too :3
Kay I only took 1.5hours to type all that.
yay me I updated!
yay me I updated!
Probably this weekend I'll go put on all the new clothes for the next post XD and if I complete my film assignment by then I'll post my Stripboard which took an immense amount of effort to complete X_X !

Sunday, December 01, 2013 - [jo's birthday ]
HERROW! :3
Also, today while editting this selfie, I discovered a new filter in my phone called "Big Eyes". whut? O_O so the top one is some "Sweet" filter while the bottom one says "Big Eyes" .. hmmm.. really?
Now that I look at it I supposed there's a teeeny difference XD
Okie anyway so this beautiful morning, where I woke up at 5am and chatted online until 7am and slept again to 10am, Zac and I decided to rearrange our room ~ So initially our bed is facing the front, and our heads go towards the window and wall, and there's a table against the wall on the left of the photo.. Zac was packing shit so fast I couldn't grab a pic ):
So just imagine a table right in that white space, playing the computer is facing the wall. So we all the bedsheets, toys, chair, fan and everything ever onto the bed which we've tilted sideways so our head is to the posters now.
Still no fish in our fish tank XD going to get some soooooonnn
And my new toys corner :3 again .. QQ this post feels so incomplete because I didn't take more 'before' photos ): maybe somewhere in my old posts when we just moved in (July) has them :o
Hmm.. backtrack to yesterday ~
Check it ouuuuuttt. The rest of the evening was full of jokes about Len becoming a celebrity and abusing his newfound privileges :3 LOL.
It was make-your-own-pizza night. Golly. I really don't like pizza ): but yay for my own ingredients!
So this is my wondaarrfuull creation. Pizza tomato sauce base thingy + smoked salmon, prawns, pineapples, capsicum, chicken bits and mozarella cheese ~ It was soooo filling I ate three quarters of it only ):
but but... that's 'cause there was dessert waiting D: so while the pizza was cooking, I went to look at the prezzies ~
The roses are soooo beautiful, although I'm quite sure they were there already. There's a new stereo for her car, a bouquet of silk flowers from us in that white square vase and we also got her a $30 movie voucher :3 because she enjoys the Gold Class cinemas heee
Their family friend Kathy bought that antique clam-like vase with silk lavenders. Kate bought her the Jennifer Saunders book and a little intricate tea strainer-infuser thingy. So pretty U.U
DESSERT TIME !~
She's totes 21 this year XD
yummeh shortcake which I didn't actually try because I was so full from the
fruit cheesy cake
Hi Chris !
Here's pretty Jo and her blowing out her 21st candle and slicing the cake :D
Nggaawwww, they're so cute ^^v
