Officially Graduated

i still wake up at darn 3am. and then i dun fall asleep until 6am. super jet lagging.

and now i got migraines and feel queasy all over.

met my dude for dinner after his work yesterday. and after 10 over days of not seeing or speaking to him. feeding on baguettes and sandwiches for the longest time in my life, he bot a whole load of local foodie including my char kway teow, carrot cake, rojak and grilled chicken wings, and waited for me at the bus stop.

ah, i love you there and then.

ok, back to reality. just checked my results. ALL CLEAR! and so, i can say, i am officially a graduate academic-wise. except for the fact that i haven't put on my gown and my motar board.

glad that everything's over. though i'm not exactly happy.

its still too early to be jumping for joy. dear and i are still in the early stage of building our lives. tomorrow's his turn. and i'm transferring all my good luck to you dude.

jie has 2 new ipods. i'm selling this one for her.

ipod nano - silver.4GB. SGD$238.00

its incredibly small and thin. size of your palm. brand new. so its the exact same price. unopened and everything. interested pls let me know.

jie's giving me the brand new ipod touch! 16GB. yay. i guess i overestimated my nokia N95 1GB mobile. thinking it could handle the songs i wanted. but it slows down my system. though i dearly love my mobile. but 16GB can hold tonnes of songs.

hey dude, i'm coming over to kapo songs from your lappy.

my new toy. yay.

job hunting still on. still hunting, searching, looking, finding. wadeva you call it.

i am just so darn lazy to upload the paris pics becoz they are just too many.

and i still gotta go to my neighbour's place to give france's souvenirs for mom later, sell jie's ipod on my yahoo auctions which is having technical probs now. continue on my job search. have my shower. pack my books into boxes and wonder what to do with them.

anyone needs books? business books.

ask me.

oh yah, i nearly forgot. i changed the blogskin back. i still like this one. i dunno why. it just scrolls faster. and the space is broader. so yeah. like or hate it. i dun earn thru blogging aniwae.

ta-ta...

Paris 2008

i'm back! from the city of love.

lovers kissing everywhere. in the metro, parks, basically anywhere, everywhere. and that's why they say, its a place for honeymoon. too bad dude is not with me. we could have witnessed the magnificient eiffel tower at night together.

too many pics to upload. brought 2 cameras. and one itself has 725 pics already. i haven't even touched the other camera. and so yeah. maybe i might upload some pics. it depends on my time.

been struggling to get my life in place. first it was the jet lagging. so super tired. confused with day and night. woke up at 3am this morning. super can't sleep. and then fell asleep only at about 5 plus i guess. only to find myself waking up at 1.30pm! and getting my body adjusting to the weather. am recovering from the bad cold that i got from the rain there. phelgm here and there. super hard to sleep. sighz.

been nagging myself to get some job applications in. but at the rate i'm waking up. its tough. speaking of which, i got a job offer when i was touring paris, of which, i considered for 2 days, and decided to turn it down after much discussion with jie, mom and my dude. i was happie coz it was my first interview i went to, and i succeeded! rejection ain't about the pay. even if they offered me a higher salary, i would still have turned it down. i guess, its just the nature of the industry and the location. just ain't my type. and so, i'm still picking up the pieces.

and now, for the jitters, results out tomorrow! my FINAL results. rar rar rar. and just when u thot everything good happens when you graduate, i read from the portal that they are discontinuing the refreshments to classes. haa. oopsy. i guess they must have realised that it costed a bomb to feed hungry scavaging students.

as for loots of the trip.... ta-da!

pink bag-H&M.taupe-longchamp.chip-eurodisney paris.wallet-longchamp.perfumes-DFS

i din buy alot of stuff. but got myself a 3rd champpy. haahaa. a bigger one in long-straped taupe colour. and the "thing" in the gift-wrapped longchamp box is my wallet :)

and so, it joins the family.

longchamps are cheap there. much cheaper than buying it here. mom got the most loots of the trip. bot 2 longchamps herself. a document bag in red and another smaller handbag in full black. and then daddy got her 2 LV stuff for their 30th wedding anniversary at the end of the year. he wanted to get her a SGD$1000 handbag! gosh. but she chose a coin pouch and wallet instead coz she said the monograms are too loud.

who's lucky man.

grace: your red longchamp is so pretty! delievered yours truly by your bestie here, all the way from paris! all detaxed!

meeting my engineer for dinner later . and i'm going to see tubbs! yay! miss the little furball like crazy.

char kway teow, laksa, hokkien mee, carrot cake, roti prata, kway chap and wadeva singapore food, here i come! the french really baguettes everyday. serious. i love singapore. to the heart!

btw, i've got a brand new ipod nano. plastic and everything unopened. the new version. in 4GB. silver. am selling it. will check the price and let you guys know. anyone interested, please gimmie a tag, sms, call, or anyway you can get me. thanks.

JAG*s: meet meet meet. gifts for you! food food! talk.gossip.shop. sms, call and haunt me! i'd love it.

I'M SO HAPPIE TO BE HOME!

Leaving On A Jet Plane

today was supposed to be set aside to bring little tubbs (tubby) to dearie's place for babysitting.

but i'm stormed with 2 last minute interviews. i could hardly breathe.

damn tired.

rushed with tubbs to dear's place after my 2nd interview. and i'm so not done with packing.

am leaving for paris tomorrow. that explains why tubbs is with papa.

yep! my graduation trip!

from my parents. they didn't plan to go for any holidays initially. but they're making it for me. hee.

and so, paris, yeah, the most romantic place on earth, or so they say. without my dude.

but my parents are goodie too. they fund every single expense of my trip. plus, i'm bunking in with nic and louis, so that calls for double yeahhhh.

am gonna reward myself for studying damn hard. am so going there to relax lor.

looking forward to embark on my movie marathon on the inflight entertainment on board SQ.

Chips, Ah Fat and the Motorbike

dear drew this for me just moments earlier during our msn conversation. he stopped chatting with me but it kept indicating that he was "writing a message". i was sooo wondering wad he was trying to say, i kept msn-ing him to ask him if he's okay.

he had to sms me to ask me to wait. haa.

and he came back with this...

chips, ah fat and the motorbike.

(click to enlarge)

he made me so happy.

yeah. you might not understand. unless, maybe you've watched the channel 8, 9pm show. the xiaorou keeps sleeping on junjie's orange vespa bike. so dear and i have the chips and ah fat version.

and so, i took it off our msn conversation.

thank you baby.
your surprises always make me so happy.

2nd Interview

am back from my 2nd job interview. hope i get this job though the interviewer told me frankly that she wanted to see more candidates before making a choice.

i love this job! super goodie prospects and challenges.

so i'm prayin'.

if not, then i'll go for greener pastures.

wanted to do my hair today. but my hairdresser's out of town! rarrrr. so much for wanting to groom myself. haa.

migraine came back yesterday. guess it was the lack of sleep plus the horrible weather. doc's review tonite, meeting my babes finally tomorrow, and then, yeah, the week's packed. thursday and friday is filled too.

little ms busy.

Longchamp

jie's back from france this morning.

and she flew in this for me.

wrapped prettily in branded paper.

ta-da! proudly presenting... my second longchamp!

in pretty baby pink.

its cheaper there. about SGD $120.00. i bot mine for SGD $161.00. but jie paid only SGD $97.00 for my baggie. cos my cousin (nic and louis's mom) had the mall's membership. plus tax rebate. and so yeahhhhhhhhhhhh. i got another!

my collection. care to add more to it?

i've been hooked to this song.

the heart of the matter by india.arie. formerly sung by the eagles.

its from the sex and the city soundtrack. and currently playing on my playbox. i think india.arie sings it better but i can't find a good track of it.

i can't find the mp3. if you have it, send to me k.

would appreciate it so much. i love the song so much.

i listen to the lyrics, i feel so upset.

I got the call today, I didn't wanna hear
But I knew that it would come
An old true friend of ours was talkin' on the phone
She said you found someone
And I thought of all the bad luck,
And all the struggles we went through
How I lost me and you lost you
What are these voices outside love's open door
Make us throw off our contentment
And beg for something more?

I've been learning to live without you now
But I miss you sometimes
The more I know, the less I understand
All the things I thought I knew, I'm learning them again
I've been tryin' to get down to the heart of the matter
But my will gets weak
And my thoughts seem to scatter
But I think it's about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore

These times are so uncertain
There's a yearning undefined
And people filled with rage
We all need a little tenderness
How can love survive in such a graceless age
And the trust and self-assurance that lead to happiness
They're the very things we kill, I guess
Pride and competition cannot fill these empty arms
And the work they put between us,
You know it doesn't keep us warm

I've been trying to live without you now
But I miss you, baby
The more I know, the less I understand
And all the things I thought I figured out, I have to learn again
I've been tryin' to get down to the heart of the matter
But my will gets weak
And my heart is so shattered
But I think it's about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore

All the people in your life who've come and gone
They let you down, you know they hurt your pride
Better put it all behind you; cause life goes on
You keep carrin' that anger, it'll eat you up inside
I wanna be happily everafter
And my heart is so shattered
But I know it's about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore

I've been tryin' to get down to the heart of the matter
Because the flesh will get weak
And the ashes will scatter
So I'm thinkin' about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if you don't love me anymore
Even if you don't love me anymore

am contemplating to get the CD. we'll see about it.

Bakerzin

just had my super hot shower, cleansed and toned my face + moisturised fully with blots of cream on the pimple-infested areas. i have been feeling so overwhelmingly tired and stressed though the exams are over, the pimples are popping like popcorn seeds out of the popper.

sighz.

went back to school today to collect my assignments and the results came back okay. just that i'm a little upset that i'm just a little away to wad i wanted. but they're still ay-okay.

dearie and i headed for desert at bakerzin.

still, it tasted yummy.
(oh yes, please ignore my pimple.)
