I ate so much today that my stomach swelled till i felt like i was carrying a 3month old baby and everytime i laughed, my stomach muscles were so taut and i felt like my stomach could burst anytime. DAMN! Im converting to a vegan after tomorrow's ding tai fung with the usual people.
First stop: PREGO at Raffles City.
I had half a bun. I had 3 slices of pizza. (really huge!) I had half a plate of carbonara. (got quite sick of the creamy taste at the end!) Lots of water cos the tobasco were smeared all over my lips.
Second stop: Canele at Raffles City.
I had half a tiramisu.
Third stop: Tao's restaurant at Paradiz Centre.
I had a WHOOPING SEVEN COURSE DINNER.
I had a bowl of bacon and mushroom gratin. I had a bowl of fruit salad. I had a plate of grilled mushroom. I had a cream of mushroom & pumpkin soup. I had half a spicy stingray (dabao-ed the other half cos i was f***ing full!!!) I had 1/4 of a creme brulee and half a chocolate fondue. I had a small jug of summer peach tea!
HAHAHA IM SO AMAZED BY WHAT I ATE TODAY. I SWEAR MY MEALS MOTIVATE ME TO EXERCISE.

Heavily Broken (Saturday, November 22, 2008 / 12:47 pm)
Everyday I sit here waiting Everyday just seems so long And now I've had enough of all the hating Do we even care, it's so unfair Any day it'll all be over Everyday there's nothing new And now I just try to find some hope To try and hold onto But it starts again It'll never end
I'm heavily broken And I don't know what to do Can't you see that I'm choking And I can't even move When there's nothing left to say What can you do I'm heavily broken And there's nothing I can do
Almost giving up on trying Almost heading for a fall And now my mind is screaming out I've gotta keep on fighting But then again It doesn't end
I'm heavily broken And I don't know what to do Can't you see that I'm choking And I can't even move When there's nothing left to say What can you do? I'm heavily broken And there's nothing I can do And there's nothing I can do
Feels like I'm drowning I'm screaming for air (Screaming for air) Louder I'm crying And you don't even care
I'm heavily broken And I don't know what to do Can't you see that I'm choking And I can't even move (What can I do) When there's nothing left to say What can you do I'm heavily broken

The Veronicas (Wednesday, November 19, 2008 / 11:54 pm)
Whoa, I think The Veronicas' live performances are really good. The blending, the hype and stuff. Wha, amazing. The filming gets better after 40seconds or so, so if you're going to watch the video, be patient!:D
Revenge is sweeter (than you ever were)

Lonely Planet's becoming the next word challenge for me, soon, i guess. Youtube's still youtube. Spent 4 hours on it today D:
thoughts in the early hour. ( / 12:58 am)
I've the sudden urge to grab a backpack, dump stuff in it and go backpacking around the world with the lonely planet guides, and probably be an editor for one of their books! Haha. Too bad, the only thing restricting me is the reason why I'm still sitting in my study and reading FM - Money.
I need money!
hook me up. (Tuesday, November 18, 2008 / 1:20 am)
I like the lights turned out The sound of closing doors I'm not like other girls who always feel so sure Of everything they are Of what they're gonna be Sometimes I'm just a girl who's stuck inside of me Of me
Sometimes I want to disappear some place But I don't want to stay too long Sometimes I'm feeling so alone Trying to fit in where I don't belong
acccccounting (Sunday, November 16, 2008 / 10:44 am)
I live accounting. I breathe accounting. I even dream about accounting.
---
My second dream was retarded. I dreamt that I was stuck in a lift in bayshore park, alone. So, i pressed the bells and whatever that needed to be pressed to get help from outside. Then, I kind of discovered that I had to use cash budget to figure out a way to get out. (retarded!) So i calculated the cash budget and in the end, it was wrong! SO i couldnt get out! Then, worse still, the guards told me to TRY AGAIN. And i'll be able to get out myself. Otherwise, i'll just be stuck inside.

Two dreams within six hours.
How scary can that be.
A Shout Out! (Saturday, November 15, 2008 / 10:34 pm)
I Want To Shout!
AHHH! Stress!
Anyway, a shout out to the one at down under. Thanks for calling me up regarding the job! Haha it must have cost a lot, especially for me, since my bills are sky high every month after I enrolled into the u. Anyway, it's good to hear your voice again i cant wait for 1st december!:D haha yep, you'll probably see this on the 20th, of which, my accounting exam would be over! haha and thanks for the periodical messages and remembering when my exams start and end although i didnt remember any of yours. Okay, that's about it. Happy touring GC. Ha i just realised I've been to all the places you went to during your mini tours but I havent been to the quaint old ulu town called Ipswich. Will be there next time if possible. Do sponsor my flight haha. Okay, I'm feeling the stress. Argh. I hate this feeling. I remember feeling like this for my math papers through my education life. Ahhh.
Stress.
Sucks.
Out.
Just when I wanted to study... ( / 1:14 am)
Oh dear, I'm totally not fit for studying.
Firstly, I went to tighten my braces yesterday and needless to say, I suffered mentally (i wanted to pluck out my teeth) and physically (sore in my mouth). It was horrible. Really horrible. Gave me headaches here and there and the painkillers didnt seem to work.
Next, I ate so much today, in a bid to distract myself from the mouth sore and ulcers, that I felt so full. So I went to take detoxifying pills. In the end, I just crawled out of the toilet after spending half an hour there.
Worst, the acute pain in my knee is back to haunt me at this crucial period. I cant walk, I can only limp D: And everytime I stretch out my leg or bend my knee, I can totally forget about the mouth sore cos I swear the knee joint pain is a hundred times worse.
AHHH. How to study!
Be Optimistic! (Friday, November 14, 2008 / 1:03 am)
The Hospital Window ( / 12:53 am)
Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room. One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain the fluid from his lungs. His bed was next to the room's only window. The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back. The men talked for hours on end. They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in the military service, where they had been on vacation.
Every afternoon when the man in the bed by the window could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window.
The man in the other bed began to live for those one-hour periods where his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity and color of the world outside.
The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake. Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Young lovers walked arm in arm amidst flowers of every color and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance.
As the man by the window described all this in exquisite detail, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine the picturesque scene.
One warm afternoon the man by the window described a parade passing by. Although the other man couldn't hear the band - he could see it. In his mind's eye as the gentleman by the window portrayed it with descriptive words.
Days and weeks passed.
One morning, the day nurse arrived to bring water for their baths only to find the lifeless body of the man by the window, who had died peacefully in his sleep. She was saddened and called the hospital attendants to take the body away.
As soon as it seemed appropriate, the other man asked if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the switch, and after making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone.
Slowly, painfully, he propped himself up on one elbow to take his first look at the real world outside. He strained to slowly turn to look out the window beside the bed.
It faced a blank wall. The man asked the nurse what could have compelled his deceased roommate who had described such wonderful things outside this window.
The nurse responded that the man was blind and could not even see the wall. She said, "Perhaps he just wanted to encourage you."
Epilogue: There is tremendous happiness in making others happy, despite our own situations. Shared grief is half the sorrow, but happiness when shared, is doubled. If you want to feel rich, just count all the things you have that money can't buy. Today is a gift, that's why it is called the present.
---
I dont know why. But I've got the goosebumps after reading it. Probably it's because it's kinda late and it's pitch dark except for my study light. Then again, it may be because I'm really in awe of the man by the window.

Know Yourself ::: Scorpio
If you've ever met someone that you found irresistible from the moment you met, it was probably a Scorpio. They are fascinating (forever sticking out the butt!) and have an air of mystery about them. Although, what you see on the surface is only what they want you to see. They may appear direct and just a bit forceful, but underneath they are vulnerable and sensitive (HAHA). Scorpions take love very seriously and are searching for admiration from a partner (at little india).
Letting a date with a Scorpio is easier than forming a long term relationship with them. You will probably have no trouble seducing them (lol), however if you're looking for an extended relationship, that's a little harder. Although the Scorpion can appear, at times, to be a loner (ha! she likes to study alone!), it's a deception that guards them against being hurt as they tend to wound easily. Once they commit to a long term relationship, the Scorpion will be a faithful mate providing both financial security and dependability.
Plan a day at the beach, a social affair, or do something recreational as they enjoy places where they can associate with other people. They appreciate being listened to and want to know that they have your complete undivided attention.
Although it's hard to get into an argument with someone born under this sign, if you become insistent and disrespectful toward them, it will happen.
They also hate to be dominated along with being taken for granted. Keep in mind that the Scorpion can be extremely jealous and protective of the person they choose to spend their life with. They seek someone generous, loving and affectionate that will provide them with the feeling of security. In turn they will provide plenty of passion, affection, and complete devotion in the relationship.
They will always take your feelings into consideration and have a great deal of energy when it comes to passion.
Whoa! scorpios do sound very passionate!
I've learned (Wednesday, November 12, 2008 / 6:09 pm)
I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it may be better tomorrow.
I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles a rainy day and lost luggage.
I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life.
I've learned that making a "living" is not the same thing as making a "life."
I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance.
I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands. You need to be able to throw something back.
I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision.
I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one.
I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone.
People love that human touch - holding hands, a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back.
I've learned that I still have a lot to learn.
Down ( / 5:46 pm)
Rumbling thunder, brings tears to the earth... But washes our fears and gives us birth.
It's nice to just slide between the sheets and take a break now. Lie beneath the blanket and wash away my fear. What do I fear?
Sigh. I wanted to come back and study a little bit of biz law but somehow coming to realise that's impossible. It's just one of those days when it's raining, and I feel like turning on some slow, jazzy music. Norah Jones perhaps. But, if I were to do so, I'll probably end up in bed and returning home tomorrow instead. Ah, I still have three papers left. The first one didn't turn out well, I guess I just gotta buck up for the rest. I was never this worried about exams, except for As and Os, before I came to uni. What caused the change?
my little escapade (Tuesday, November 11, 2008 / 12:37 pm)
I want to escape to a quaint, old, historic town that's somewhere off my usual territory and indulge in the laidback life there where no one knows me.

The Gloomy Morning. ( / 10:06 am)
I woke up this morning and this was how the sky looked like.
And I started rain-watching again, to discover that the rain today came from the city! Haha.
The east side.
The City-side.
Basically the blurred part represents the rain..
Doubt I can go back to school anytime unless the rain stops!

ARGHH!
Pure economic loss ( / 3:47 pm)
Haha! I was reading the biz law textbook and amidst reading the chapter on TORT, i came across a case that involved Bayshore Park condominium! Hahaha, okay, self-amused. Back to the book D:
President-elect: OBAMA ( / 1:43 pm)
"Some princes are born in palaces. Some are born in mangers. But a few are born in the imagination out of scraps of history and hope. Barack Obama never talks about how people see him: I'm not the one making history, he said every chance he got. You are. Yet as he looked out on Tuesday night through the bulletproof glass, in a park named for a Civil War general, he had to see the truth on people's faces. We are the ones we've been waiting for, he liked to say, but people were waiting for him, waiting for someone to finish what a King began.
'If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible,' declared the President-elect, 'who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.'
Barack Hussein Obama did not win because of the color of his skin.Nor did he win in spite of it. He won because at a very fangerous moment in the life of a still young country, more people than have ever spoken before came together to try to save it. And that was a victory all its own.
Remember this day, parents told their children as they took them out of school to go see an African-American candidate make history.
NASA astronauts on board the International Space Station sent a video message encouraging people to vote; they did, from 200 miles up. A judge in Ohio ruled that homelesspeople could use a park bench as their address in orderto register. A couple flew home from India just to cast their ballots. Obama's Ohio volunteers knocked on a million doors on Monday alone. That night, a Florida official locked himself in the Seminole County election headquarters and slept overnight with the ballots to make sure nothing went wrong with the vote. You heard the same phrases everywhere. First time ever. In my lifetime. Whatever it takes.
At a moment of obvious peril. America decided to place its fate in the hands of a man who had been born to an idealistic white teenage mother and the charismatic African grad student who abandoned them - a man who grew up without money, talked his way into good schools, worked his way up through the pitiless world of Chicago politics to the U.S. Senate and now the White House in a stunningly short period. That achievement, comapred with those of the Bushes or the Kennedys or the Roosevelts of the Adamses or any of the other American princes who were born into poweror bred to it, representssuch a radical departure from the norm that it finally brings meaning to the promise taught from kindergarten: 'Anyone can grow up to be President.'"
An excerpt quoted from the TIME magazine. Thought it was really inspiring, and i've no idea why but when I was reading the magazine; looking at the images of hordes of supporters followed by a two-page image of President Obama, my goosebumps just popped up. Hope that this entry managed to inspire those who are currently working hard for the upcoming exams. Speaking of which, it's time for one more word challenge before I hit the books.

If I were a boy I would turn off my phone Tell everyone it’s broken So they’d think that I was sleepin’ alone If I were a boy I think I could understand How it feels to love a girl I swear I’d be a better man. I’d listen to her Cause I know how it hurts When you lose the one you wanted Cause he’s taken you for granted And everything you had got destroyed
But you’re just a boy You don’t understand Yeah you don’t understand (oh) How it feels to love a girl someday You'll wish you were a better man You don’t listen to her You don’t care how it hurts Until you lose the one you wanted Cause you’ve taken her for granted And everything you have got destroyed But you’re just a boy
Hey, that's me! ( / 8:54 pm)
Haha look quite smart right.
Okay, studying at home, is really, really, unproductive. Sigh. And i actually brought ALL my stuff back to study already. Lugged a huge country road bag, a crumpler, a shoe bag as well as a big red plastic bag of notes back home just now.

Comm funds presentation. I hope my nerves dont freak me out tmr.
It's coming.

Hell's arriving.

Omg, PMX, i hate your blog. Thanks for reminding me about one of the best songs I've ever heard and the travelling that comes along in the MV. ugh. Oh man, i miss travelling. How i wish i could be more adventurous in my travel escapades. Aye, when will be the next time that happens? Sigh.
the STRESS (Sunday, November 02, 2008 / 2:53 pm)
fuck fuck fuck busy busy busy quiz quiz quiz help help help
Sigh, it doesnt feel as if the exams are coming. Why?
That's because I still have an IT quiz, IT presentation and comm funds 30% presentation awaiting me next week. Yucks!
The only consolation: I can finally bid goodbye to comm funds and say hello to it again in a year's time.
To think I always grumbled about exams and not cherishing my study break before the major exams. Now, my only study break will span from thursday to sunday before IT exam (which I'm clueless about) kicks off the start of exams on the following monday.
I think if Im given the privilege of time, I'd sit down beside my laptop, plug in the new iLuv that I bought, listen to p!nk and slowly read the lyrics and sing together. It'll be damn good.
Time, time, time. Where are you when I needed you the most.
p!nk ( / 5:26 pm)
I feel happy and contented.
I just bought FunHouse at parkway just now! Whew, I think the last time I actually supported original music was in Secondary 2! When I searched high and low for Green Day's American Idiot!
