Bye bye

2008-07-15T23:23:00.004+08:00

I think this is an appropriate last blog-like post.
Considering the fact that I'm listening to Mariah Carey's Bye Bye.

That song just touches you heart.

I never knew I could hurt like this,
And everyday life goes on I wish.
I could talk to you for a while;
Miss you but I try not to cry,
As time goes by.

It's true that you've
Reached a better place,
Still, I'd give the world to see your face.
And be right there next to you,
But it's like you're gone too soon.
Now the hardest thing to do is to say

Bye bye.

This blog will stay, as my occassional foodie blog.

Otherwise, I'll be at LiveJournal.

I'll give the link another time. (:

Before I leave, the verse I like in Bye Bye:

You never got the chance to see
How good I've done,
And you never got to
See me back at number one
I wish that you were here
To celebrate together
I wish that we could
Spend the holidays together

I remember when you used to
Tuck me in at night,
With a teddy bear you gave me
That I held so tight
I thought you were so strong;
You'd make it through whatever,
It's so hard to accept the fact
You're gone forever.

It's so moving. =))
i cried. listening to this song. 'specially that part.
And it really explains how difficult it is when you loose someone.
It's like my grandfather thing all over again.
Love always,
Crystal

Fuck CSAS

2008-07-11T00:39:00.002+08:00

Too lazy to blog.

Currently doing CSAS. Stupid comm skills shit.

Siann...

I suck in summary.

And this post should be replaced with something else.

Like those cake pictures in my phone.

I WANT TO SLEEP!

2008-07-02T22:49:00.003+08:00

Hi everyone!!!

I'm tremendously elated todayyyy!

I can't believe I did a cake the lab today! Strawberry Shortcake! *mega BIG smile*

By Jolene's group, I think? (:

The nice nice one from Dee's group with help from Chef Gary!

This is Li Hui's!

And mine! Very very pleased with it (:

I'm really happy because of these stuff today! haha! =DD

Anyone wants a slice of cake??

Crys!

Quick update

2008-07-01T22:01:00.002+08:00

Here's a quick update, or rather, question for you all to do:

Fill in the blanks:

Just grab and ________.

Now, here's the chance for you to spam my cbox! Quick quick!!! =)))

♥s,
Crys!

Blah.

2008-06-26T21:59:00.003+08:00

Hello healthy humans who are probably not sick while reading this.

I can't believe I slept over 3 hours in school today. I fell asleep while everyone else was playing badminton. (That's about 2 hours!)

Then I grabbed the keys to CO room and slept even more. From 2ish to 3.30pm. Another 1 hour.

After which, I went for my FOM lecture, which didn't sleep in! =))

But I fell asleep when I returned to the CO room. That'll be from 5ish to 6ish??

Therefore, I slept a total of 4+ hours. In school!

Wow. That's a record for me. =P

Despite what everyone said, I went for sectionals anyway.
But if it makes you feel any better, I left earlier. (:

I feel so blessed with friends around. =)))))

♥s
sick crystal.

P.S. hope I passed my CSAS! =((

P.S.S. Note to self: Take back attendance book for claims!

Sick and delirious.

2008-06-26T00:03:00.003+08:00

Urgh. I'm sick.

It sucks to be sick.

I feel like my nose is like a waterfall, except it isn't water spilling out of it.
And when I'm sick, I can't eat this, I can't eat that.

Yes, it really, really, sucks to be sick.

Haha, random thought:

My MSN nick about a few weeks back was something to do with the word 'sexy'.
Being sick is nothing sexy.

Ok, that was freakin' random.
Oh God, I'm turning delirious soon.

And I'll have to survive sectionals tomorrow with this nose.
Maybe I'll get the keys earlier tomorrow.

Then I can slack and sleep in the CO room. =)))

Ahh, sleep sounds good (:
And I've got to awake at 6am tomorrow.

Six AM!!

I better hit the sack now.

G'night world!!! =))

[edit]

I passed my FOM!!! But with only a B+.
Oh wells. I thought I screwed up that paper. hehe (:
Need to get A for FOM! (:

[/edit]

New song!

2008-06-24T23:02:00.002+08:00

I've got nothing to update.
Yes, there's nothing new in my life at the moment.
Or rather, I have no life. =P

Anywho, the only thing new would be this song over on the right side bar!
Please go listen to it, yeah? =DD

♥s,
Crystal

Holidays, no?

2008-06-19T23:34:00.002+08:00

I can't believe it!!! My 2 weeks holidays are nearly over!!!

And it didn't even feel like a holiday. =((

Last week was packed packed packed with Projects and CO stuff. Then this week was finally the TPCO Camp '08!
I had a hell of a time. =)) But yes, it was really tiring.

Now, yesterday was a rush. I went down to school to have a surprisingly short discussion regarding the Baking NS project with LiHui. Then I rushed down back to KC to help out CO for 30mins.

How odd; I had no intention of going back to KC. But look at me! Rushed down there just for CO members. Ain't I magnanimous?

Wah... chim word. I can't remember the exact meaning though. Something to do with noble or something. Haha!

I haven't been reading much since I've started poly. So, I went over to the library to borrow some books! Freakin' thick though. And Dean Koontz's books usually have bloody small font. I swear I'll be wearing spectacles as thick as my wallet soon.

I'm gonna do the recipe with LiHui tomorrow!!! I hope it turns out better this time! And I have no idea how to incorporate the starch product into our recipe.
Help!

♥s,
Crystal!

it's like PMSing everyday

2008-06-13T00:50:00.004+08:00

Read at your own risk. Flame alert. This may cause you to feel pissed.

I'm so sick of having all this.
Reading such stuff is maddening sometimes.
I hate the fact that most of us rely on so many people just to live.

It's just pissing off to see someone helpless and i can't do a damn thing about it.
Namely because the person's a 'he' and not a 'she'.

I hate the fact that I'm unable to open up to guys even at this stage of my life.
Hell, you could even say I'm embarrassed.
Point is, I'm helpless.

I can't do a thing to help you get over this stage of your life.
There's so much I could do, but it's always what I fear that's holding me back.
I'm fucking sick and irritated.

I tend to go 'Oh, I don't give a damn' when actually, I'm just fucking nosey to know what you're feeling at whatever point of time.

I'm angry, frustrated and pissed with so many things.
Then there are those people who take the blame even though it's not their fault for some stuff.
Really, stop putting the blame on yourself so freakin' much!
If you didn't do it, stop shielding the problem makers!

"I can't help myself, therefore I can't help other."
I hate that statement.

Dreams of a guy

2008-06-10T22:03:00.003+08:00

Hi everyone!

Man, the wind is really blowing strong around my place. Looks like it's gonna rain soon.
It's good, this means I can sleep longer tomorrow. =DD

Anyway, I've got loads of things to do!!! =((

But I'm still here blogging. =)))

I'm just gonna ramble on random stuff and everything. Blah blah blah. Just becasue I feel like typing and typing and typing....

You know, sometimes it's really sickening to see how bloody shy a person is. The worst part if the person is a guy.

I know I'm in no position to say this, but there's always the freedom of speech!!

Anyway, guys should be the ones taking the initiatives. I mean, it's not like you'd expect the female to go down on one knee and say to the guy:

"Will you marry me?"

Really, if I ever see that in public, I'd probably think, "At least we know who wears the pants in the family!"

I just think if the guy isn't really to ask, your marriage is gonna be real damn tough.
And I thus wish you luck.

I also understand that it's really difficult for guys to buck up the courage to walk up a girl just to say "Hi".
So girls, appreciate that, and don't just turn away from them immediately. If you're not interested in them, just put them down lightly.

If they for more than 10 minutes, feel free to give them a good, tight, slap. (:

Speaking on this topic, I think it's kinda like every shy guy's dream to be raped by an attractive female.

And on a random note:

Utt, that MTV host guy?
He seems to be getting uglier the more I see him.
And he's kinda a player. Girls (and maybe guys), watch out.

Back to the topic.

What are guys' so-called fantasies anyway? Hell, I should be asking, what are girls' fantasies. Guys' fantasies already have a stereo-type.

So, what is a female's typical fantasy?
If you're reading this. DON'T REALTE THIS TO YKK. PLEASE. =((
I'd like to hear your views on this everyone. Just tag on my tagboard on the right!
(Although, I highly doubt anyone would actually answer the question. -____-)

Pron Star! =))

2008-06-08T00:19:00.004+08:00

Hello everyone!

I'm back with another video!
Porn Star Registration!! haha!!!

-----------

Anyway, I've been reading some of my archieves!
I guess, it's really good and all that. I suddenly remember what life was like back in KC.
Gosh, I miss KC so much. All my friends, and some teachers.
When I read your 18 self, i thought:
Oh! From this weeks onwards, I'm gonna be super packed. I don't have any day free, except for my usual Sunday-Family Day thing.
It's like my 16 year old self. just more assertive.
Then the following week would be TPCO camp! I'm kinda excited about it. =DD
Maybe, I got to know you a bit more. (:
And look at the time! 12:34AM. =DD
Random-ness. (:

Fa-fa FRIDAYY!!

2008-06-06T21:43:00.006+08:00

This morning, I woke up, and guess what's the first thing I thought?
I dream of you. With a cigarrate.
If I never see your face again, I don't mind.
Even though I hate smokers, you looked hot. Haha!
It's the new single by Maroon 5 feat. Rihanna!!! I love this new tune =DD
Both their voices just makes the song pretty good! (:
And you were without your specs. *blush*

I know there's a number of you reading this black print!!
---------------
Stupid asses, reading what the stuff I've hidden. :P
Later today, I met up with some of the princesses with Eugene (:
Then we went shopping!!
Haha, got this new shirt and guess what's written on it?? =DD

"I lost my number, can I have yours?"

Haha! =DD

♪If I never see your face again, I don't mind~
'Cause we've gone much further than I thought we'd get tonight~

(I'm so loving this song) =)))

Mid Terms are so yesterday!

2008-06-05T18:21:00.003+08:00

Whee!!! No more term tests!!! Woot!!!!

Holidays are here!!! hahas (:
I have time at home, with nothing to do...

Well, except for CO matters. As usual. But the points is....

HOLIDAYS ARE HERE!!!

I'm really really free, so it's really boring at home. But tomorrow's friday!!! I'll be going out to Bugis!

But before that, I've got to go to school to do the attendance book. (-___-)
But that's if I manage to wake up early to go school. I still love my sleep~

What I like about going to Bugis is that I get to buy FOOD!!

I spend a bomb over there everytime. But it's really worth it! =DD

And I'm supposed to plan for Sammie's Birthday this Sat, but she can't make it on Friday evening. So hopefully next week's alright (:

It's been damn damn long since I've last seen SKYs, and I guess it's time we've updated each other one our lives, right?? ;)

I feel like trying out a new recipe for Sammie's birthday. But that's if the birthday celebration is still gonna happen! (>.<)

Anywho, I've gotta go for dinner now~~

When I return, I'm gonna continue that escape game I was dealing with just now. Freakin' Irritating.

But i'll solve it!!!! (Thanks to the cheat walkthrough I found!! =DD)

♥,
Crys!

=((

2008-05-30T22:32:00.003+08:00

Tomorrow's my FOM term test and I'm still here blogging. I really need to study for it; I heard it's 20% of my overall marks.
but I was really pissed.
And CSAS was pissing off today. After slogging my ass off for the stupid presentation, I ended up not presenting because of the lack of time.
I mean, it's MY chinese name!
I forsee a lot of sleepless nights coming up.
How can you just let someone I'm not familiar with know?
Term tests are just next week, and i haven't touched on anything yet. I'm feeling super slack and I'm not liking it.
You say I'm not respecting him by calling him 'that sorta person'
Well, I can't say I'm not enjoying it either. (:
But were you respecting me???
I like my name. but I'm NEVER one of those who'd just anyhow give my name to anyone
Today was a stress relieve, in a way. I've been caught up with a few stuff lately that's making me frustrated. Namely, my chinese name.
Thank goodness for the 'sports day' my class had today. I managed to get rid of those bottled up frustations. (: Hell, none of those people I met online knows my real name when i knew them

Netball was really fun with the girls! I was kinda unwilling to play at first (I was really worried about my FOM tomorrow!), but i ended up playing anyway. (:
I'm really angry, but I can't show it. you'd say you're right, because it's ok for you.
But it's not 'okay' for me.
God bless my classmates, they are such darlings. =DD
you're nice and i like you. But sometimes?
I wish you'd just act your age.
Loves,
Crystal

Call me bad bad bad!

2008-05-25T16:35:00.002+08:00

Call me irresponsible,
Yes, I'm unreliable.
But it's undeniably true,
That I'm irresponsibly mad for you!

My gosh, I'm jazzing to this song! It's just so sexy in a friendly way. Micheal Buble rocks. =DD

And i'm STILL doing my FI report. It irritating because the answer's in front of me but I can't crap a conclusion about it. (-_-)
I've got to work hard to reach that level!!
And I've still got the attendance thingy to complete!!! Not to mention my FOM project to do. AND study!!!
I'm missing you. so badly. =(
Term tests are drawing in fast, and I really hope to be able to do well in it!!
Study with me?? =DD

Happy Vesak Day everyone! (:

Teach me love between a man and a woman. For I fear I'll never exprience it in my life.

I want my Hong Kong~

2008-05-16T23:01:00.002+08:00

Due to the renovation of FPP Lab from August2008 to April 2009, BCS yr 2 students have to sacrifice their holidays for their Asian and Western Cuisine subjects.

Also, all lab sessions will held in the level 5 labs. This probably means that our timetables will be full and packed.

There goes my holidays for the next semster.

And this means I may not be able to go for the Hong Kong Exchange trip for CO!!! =(((((

I'm mega bummed out. Of everything, it had to be the Hong Kong!!!

Maybe they should just shift everything into our year 3.1.

I don't mind staying back a year to use the facilities. (:

Argh!!!! pissed with this and that.

A wonderful thursday

2008-05-15T23:55:00.004+08:00

HELLO EVERYONE!!!

Yes, I am in a terribly good mood today as I had enjoyed myself a lot todayyy. =)))

As boring as it may be, I'm just gonna list what happened today!

BSc test at 8am was pretty okay. I think I should be able to pass!!! =D

Then we had a talk after the test. Very boring, but it was crucial for us to listen to it as it is related to our 'money-making' project!

Nah, it's just a project. If we end up in first place at the end of it, we win money! Yayness everyone!

Anywho, I'm quite pleased about the talk as I only slept in it once! Thanks to a little kick directed to my chair, I stayed awake throughout the rest of the talk! Thanks Li Hui!!! =)

After the talk, our class went down to FPP to test our breads that we made on Wednesday!

Loads to do, but...

We did pretty fast! ^^

And then, we had lunch with J2! But Jolene and I just drank as we were gonna have lunch with some CO peeps later on. (:

Finally, we went for badminton!!! It's been really long since I last excerise, so it was a pretty nice workout. Not to mention really fun!!! =DD

Everyone was really nice and had fun, I'm really glad! Enjoyment is a good thing!
'Cause it's been so long since I last felt it.
Loves to J2! =)))
Jolene! I know you're reading this! *makes strangling hands*
At 2pm, Jolene and I went for lunch with CO peeps at Design! And I swear the Western food is cutting on cost. The chicken they serve seems to be getting smaller and smaller...
But thanks for joining me in the CO before you left!
Anywho, slacking at the CO room until my 4pm FOM lecture. And I fell asleep during that lecture!!! But at least I took notes! (:
Why didn't you tell me he was coming?

Sometimes, I feel that I take more notes during my CDS lectures than during my Diploma Core subject lectures! haha!!
Just what were you planning...? *cheeky grin*

After lecture, went for CO sectionals! This time, I felt that sectional was really productive (finally!) as we went through the song with the 'old-newbies'. And finally, they'll be going for combined practice. (:

Dinner was at Simpang, Bedok! First time, the food not bad. (:

And we took some pictures! 'Cause Clement misses everyone so much, and because I forgot to take picture of the CO borad for him. Haha!

Yes, we all miss you. (:

Then Nick was damn nice to drive us to the nearest busstop to fetch us home. Petrol is freakin' ex nowadays, I think we should help him with those petrol bills, neh?

And that's my day. I really liked it; it's been long since I enjoyed the day so much.

------

And some photos! (It's been so long since I last cleared my phone of photos!)

The 2 pictures below are done during the baking practicum BCS had 2 weeks before everyone's school reopened.

by the teacher!!! Nice, right?!

Yours truly!~ very pleased with it! =DD

Our poster for the recruiment drive! hand painted and hand drawn!

oh! and last week, my family went out for dinenr at Peach garden restuarant!
And my Cuzzy got this for all the Mothers as a early M's Day gift!

They're Famous Amos Cookies!!!

Then, we got a cake for my Grandma's birthday!!

That's the cake!!! I'm serious!!! Freakin' Cool. (:
The chopsticks are chocolate, and the noodles are buttercream! =))

---

That's the end of my post for today! long long entry. haha!
I've got to go do my tutorial now!

Nights' World!!!

Absolutely tiring

2008-05-12T23:50:00.003+08:00

Today was exhausting. I'm saying mentally exhausted.
And just sick of your complaints. I'm not talking about CO here. it's the 2 of you.
I don't know why. Wearing contacts are beginning to be troublesome, and I feel like I have loads stuff to do...
I wish you people could just forgive and forget.

Holy shit! I haven't study FI!!!

Laters!!!

And on a random note, TPCO's advisor ain't as bad as we think. I feel that maybe she has her own problems as well.
(Look at the movie Just follow Law directed by Jack Neo)

I guess we really need to put ourselves into other's shoes a lot more.

Short random

2008-05-11T23:28:00.002+08:00

The moon's bright tonight.
And I can't help but think of you.
Teach me the meaning of love.

I'm You

2008-05-07T00:49:00.002+08:00

"So wipe away the tears, ain't nothing for us here"

Time to move on.
You know, sometimes I'm just sick of all your complaints.

Lesson of 2008

2008-05-04T23:24:00.004+08:00

Today, I went to visit my father's Dad today.

Aka, my Grandfather.

Throughout my whole 17+ years of my life, he's the first person I met from my father's side family.

Yes, I've never seen anyone from his side of the family before. So now, I'll only know my Dad and Grandfather.

We drove towards Upper Thomson Road.
I have no idea what's the place called, but we ended up in a temple-like place.

We walked down flights of stairs, and I finally got to catch a glimpse of his face.
He's located at the back of many other yellow boxes.

I'll never get to hear his voice though.
I don't think he knows what I look like either.

If you haven't figured it out, I'll make it easier for you:

My grandfather is dead.

I have no idea what is this feeling in me.

It's my first time seeing him, but he's... not alive.

It's so hard for me to type all of this out. As of the moment, tears are threatening to fall.
And I have no idea why.

I mean, it's the first time I get to know a little more about my father's family.

But the first person I get to know, is dead.

I'll never know what kind of person he was really like.
I'll never know if he'd ever like me as a granddaughter.

It's just so weird.

Usually, I wouldn't type such stuff here.
But I have a reason for doing so today.

Recently, I'm starting to see something.

At the start of 2008, my great grandmother passed away.
My relatives cried, so much. So, so much.

A few months later, I heard that Monica passed away.
I don't even know her personally, but it made me cry.

Several days ago, my friend's friend passed away.
The feeling of loss expressed through her words were so honest, and it made me wonder how the victim's family and close friends are feeling.

And just this morning, my other friend's grandmother passed away.
I can't imagine the loss he must feel.

It feels like fate is showing me the whole world around me. One step at a time.

16. I learnt Respect and Kindness.
17, I learnt the meaning of Effort.
And now, going 18,

I'm learning death.

So everyone, treasure who you have with you.

Don't keep spending time being angry or sad or frustrated.

For you'll never know when the inevitable will happen. =((

B2 @ T3

2008-05-02T02:15:00.002+08:00

Today, i went to T3 with my family!
I can't help but think of you again.
And my aunt bought this D-SLR camera, and she brought it over for us to play with it!!!
I don't have photos to post, so I'll just say that i've finally felt what a real photographer feels like!! =DD

T3 was pretty nice (:
How I'll never see you as often as before.
I missed going out with Jaime and the rest @ ECP today. I wonder how it was~~~
I don't understand what I'm feeling now.
I miss the sea breeze~~~~~
I think I'm over you. But I still miss you.

Worthy?

2008-05-01T01:19:00.002+08:00

Sometimes, I think:

"Are you worth all that trouble?"

My answer has been 'No' all these times.

SImply because I believe that all women are strong, and we should stand on our own 2 feet. No relying on people, and all that.

So usually, when someone ask me to do a reasonable favour, I say 'Yes' because I believe it's something I can do and am willing to do.

But if someone ask me to go tutorial room to bring chairs, I'd say 'No'.
Not because I can't lift chairs, but because I don't want to.

I guess what I'm trying to say in this post is:

"Women are strong. but some of us are just lazy to show it off."

And damn. I didn't get to see you today. =((
Oh wells.

FI tutorial

2008-04-29T23:25:00.003+08:00

I'm into me second week of being a year 2 student, and this is my conclusion for one of my subjects, Food Ingredients:

it. is. SUCKING. my. blood.

Ok, seriously. We have to do these tutorial that's just so troublesome. Getting citations and all that. Worse is all those bulking agents and acidulants.

Really, what the hell is that?! I'm just so confused about what to do and what is considered reliable on the internet.

I came across this web talking about the list of leavening agents, and there were all this:

"God tells us we are to put leavening agents... blah blah... and keep it out for seven days."

Ok, with all respect, I don't care. I'm looking for actual facts where I can show scientific prove to pass this assignment.

I can't just state something like, "Cream of tartar is not a leavening agent."
I need prove. Justifications.

I can't bring myself to type this on my report: (Exodus 12:15-17).

I really don't wanna fail this assignment. It is worth 5%!!!

I better stop procrastinating and continue it. Wish me luck? (:
I dreamt of you today. I can't help but try to remember what happened in that dream with you.

Update for the sake of update

2008-04-27T00:33:00.004+08:00

I was thinking, maybe I should upload a photo every once in a while. So there you go! A photo of Jolene and I! *Big grin*

Well, I'm still in holiday-mode, even though the term has started. I haven't even cleared my room fiilled with last sem's stuff. I'm gonna clear all of my notes later though! ^^

Lectrues and tutorials have been pretty much ok. CCA drive was quite ok, I guess? I have no idea what to comment about it. Really.

I shouldn't bother too much. My mind is pretty much occupied with random stuff; I can't really think straight.

And I haven't been really chatting much with my classmates. I'm feeling kinda gulity. Or maybe 'gulity' isn't the right word. I think it's 'miss'.

I miss my classmates.

Wow, that's something new for me.
I'll chat with you all soon! (:
Time's really flying by.

And soon, I won't see you anymore. =((

(Untitled)

2008-04-24T21:19:00.001+08:00

Did I see you today?

Nope.

Been sick

2008-04-22T01:22:00.003+08:00

Sunday was terrible. Just because of one simple reason.

I was SICK.

Ok, I really hate being sick. A slight sore throat and I get a fever of 37.9°C and headaches the next day.

And I have full intention of taking my Typhoid Jab asap.

Thus, I ate nothing but porrigde, and drank nothing but warm water and barley. And most importantly, I took tons of rest.

By monday, I was feeling much better. Look at me now! I'm blogging! =DD

So, it's cheers to no panadol or whatever pills.

But I did take Liang Cha as my Mum pretty much forced me to. It's freakin' bitter, but I'm sure it's good if it contributed to my wellness now. (:

But I am still on the road to full recovery. At least my fever and headaches are gone, and my throat ain't that sore anymore.
I need more water though!!!

- Crys!

Bummed

2008-04-18T23:16:00.003+08:00

It's been pretty busy for the last 2 weeks.

Having school reopened earlier was ok, I guess? But it's more like working than schooling for these 2 weeks.

It's everyday from 9am to 5pm. We get to go for our lunch break once we're done, then we return to the kitchen (read: office) and continue our work.
This means that each group goes for lunch at a different time, depending on how fast they finish their work.

And the pay for this 'job' is knowlegde. I'm somewhat glad that school reopened early; I feel like I've learnt a lot during this period of time. (:

Well, normal classes resumes on this Monday. I've taken a look at my timetable, and my Mondays and Wednesdays and full Lab sessions.
It's screwed. My practical test is fuckin' screwed. =(((((((
Wednesdays will soon suck for me. Very soon. =((
(8am to 5pm Practical! I may just die because I can't wake up!)

And my CDS is Fundementals of Management. Hopefully I'll enjoy somehow. Sad part is that the class is all the way in ENG school. =(((

Oh wells. I'll live with this somehow.

Anyway, below is a picture of Chocolate Banana Cupcakes

Just to let you know, my classmates will be selling these cupcakes tomorrow at:

Emmanuel House Carpark (near Aljunied MRT)
No. 10 Lor 27A, Geylang Rd

Please drop by and support them!!! Those cupcakes are really good!!! =DD

There will be other stuff to buy there! namely clothings and stuff like that. It's a garage sale! =DD

That'll be all today. (:
Recently, I can't look you in the eyes. Now, I'm asking myself why.
G'Nights!

Saturday

2008-04-13T12:28:00.006+08:00

On Saturday, it was quite a busy day for me!

I went to meet SKY @ Sentosa! =DD
But I was supposed to meet YunTing at 1pm, but I was really late!!! Sorry Sweetie!

I arrived with Eugene and we made our way to Sentosa via Monorail!

Okies, nothing much happened there because the other peeps (HuanLi, Shawn, Maks, Cheeks, Keith, Justin, and Zong Zhe) were there and playing with the Frisbee. And I was dress in Jeans for a concert @ SengKang.

But hell with that. They just had fun and and I sat there watching them play. :P
Did you know? When i was there, everyone seems like strangers to me. Keith, Zong Zhe, Shawn, Cheeks and Justin.
It's been really long since I've seen them, so it's good to see that everyone's fine!!!
I didn't even talk to Cheeks and Keith! But Keith's hair really looks kinda retarded.
Then Pammy joined us later on! It's been really long since I've last seen her, so we chatted for sometime...
I'm really glad HuanLi, Pam and Eugene were there. Otherwise I'll feel like I'm just wasting time there.
A short while later I had to leave for the concert! =((

We should really get more time to chat! I didn't get to talk much to HuanLi either!

-----

At SengKang, I met up with Sharon, Yanning, Jordon and ZiHao! Turns out that only the 5 of us are going for the concert! Oh wells.

After dinner we went to watch that SCO performance!
Blardy hell, the place was open-spaced. Like some carnival was going on. Not a performance.
Although the performance was alright, the audience was quite terrible! =((
Everyone just wouldn't shut up when they were playing. It's kinda like a pet peeve of mine.
And those stupid insect kept flying into my face! I swear some stupid fly just kept flying to my lip!
I can't stand it when people just talk when there's a movie or performance going on. Damn irritating.
And worst thing is, there was no need for me to go for it! I could have just stayed with SKY and chatted with them!! =((
Well, I went home after that. SengKang was just too foreign for me. Haha!
And you weren't there to make it worthwhile. =( Since when have I became used to your presence?
As for today, it's the Post-Concert Celebration! BBQ is gonna be held at Mr. Cheng's place! And I have loadsa things to do! I'll blog about it another time!!! =DD It sucks to be weak in your absence.

Last night of Rhapsody

2008-04-05T15:44:00.014+08:00

Hi everyone!!!

Rhapsody was a success, and we were pretty satisfised with those results! (:

Anyway, here are some pictures taken on the last night of the show!

[Edit]

I got my hands on more pictures from Jon! here you go!

Jonathan, my daughter and Vanessa!

The guys!

Our 2 soloist!

Wah! Flowers!!!

Sharon and I! =D

The girls! =D

Woodwind section of CO!
(Sadly, his face is there. Curses!)

Our family! Without Jonathan! =(

My 'mother's side of the family

My 'father's side of the family

My daughter and Vanessa! =D

Wilson and I! =D

Lao Shi! He's our conductor, Mr Cheng!! =DD

Madeline and I!

(AKA My girlfriend! haha!)

There more pictures, but I'm lazy to put them up. Blogger has been giving me problem lately. It's really irritating. >.<

Because of it, I decided to change back to my old blogskin. Even the new blogskin I tried to apply gave me problems! =((
Heck!

School's gonna re-open on Monday for BCS students.Meaning I only have 2 days of holidays!
Poor Jolene and I. =P

Well, hopefully I'll have time after monday to help pack up the auditorium!

All those instruments are still there!
And I forgot to put my sheng back into its casing!

Don't worry! Mommy's coming for you!!!

man, I'm going crazy. haha!

Blabberings

2008-03-29T22:05:00.003+08:00

I. am. so. screwed.
It's about you too. I'm screwed because of you.
Life is screwed up.
I sucks to be the only child, you know?
It's irritating when I try to make myself to do something, but I can't. During practice, I screwed up really bad for that 临安遗恨 song. Curses to me and my terrible counting skills.
I return home, and it's just me. Then I start thinking.
Hopefully that jinxes it and I'll start to play well.

The worst part is that I haven't even practiced 渔歌. I haven't gotten the hang of that song yet.
Then I start to feel fucking lonely, and I wish that you were by my side.
And the practices are taking up quite a lot of my time. I was supposed to bake with Jaime on monday, but looking at how terrible the practice was for me today, I've got to PRACTICE!!!!!!
But the worst part is that I'll never be able to get that. Your presence beside beside me is a 'never'.
Now I'm feeling terrible for saying I can't bake with her and all that. Dammit. =(((

I'm in a terrible position to say that these practices are taking up my time, but if everyone is working hard, I should not slack too much, right?
Solitude is good.
Sometimes, I really wish I've got a 中音笙 at home.
But loneliness, is just sad.
Either that or me, sleeping over in the CO room. Then I can practice until late at night.
I want to help others with just my presence. But who's there for me?
Argh, I'm so mad at myself! =(((

FCUKING PISSED.

2008-03-26T21:53:00.003+08:00

I'm really pissed over something. So don't read this as it's not for the faint hearted.

What ARE you? Some fucked up idiot?!

You've applied for bankuptcy, and it seems like you don't even feel guilty for it.

And you own over 2 blasted SPORTS CAR, and you STILL think it's not enough!!!!

YOU, ARE NOT EVEN RICH ANYMORE!

You applied for bankuptcy, remember?!

And now you can't even PAY your own phone bills of $155.59?!

The best part is, the line isn't even under YOUR FUCKED UP NAME!

In case you didn't know, that student plan you're currently using?

IT'S MINE.

What makes you think I gave up that line? To give my very own mother face.

And she was all:

"Oh, he's changed. Really!!!"

Fuck you, you immature 30+ year old brat. With 2 children whom I've feeling terribly sad for their birth on Earth.

Oh wait, no.

I'm sad because YOU are their father.

And you can't even support yourself.

How dare you call yourself a father.

You've been using your parents' money. Have you forgotten you're bankupt, you stupid bastard?!

Now, go PAY THOSE BLOODY PHONE BILLS AND RETURN ME MY STUDENT PLAN!!!

I can't believe I'm somewhat related to you. Stupid bastard.

YOU HAVE TAINTED MY STUDENT PLAN UNDER MY MOTHER'S NAME. CURSE YOU, STUPID SON OF A BITCH.

Feeling: weird and full.

2008-03-25T22:38:00.006+08:00

I've decided.

I'll do doing cupcakes on thursday morning. Yes. That's what I'll do.
You're the answer to my prayers. And if you, could feel, the tenderness I feel
I promised Sharon I'll bake it, but I didn't have time to get the ingredients.
So, the butterscotch banana cupcakes will be for Sharon. =DD

See? I'm nice. You would know, it would be clear.
That angels brought me here.

And I'm random. Ok. I'll stop.

Now.

Rhapsody.

Hi everyone!

I'm back from the performance by Temasek Sec. CO and Malaysia SMJK Keat Hwa CO!

It's was really nice, and I was impressed with the KeatHwa CO!

After that I went home with Weina, and we chatted from whatever we were talking about yesterday! So nice chatting with her! =DD

Well, that's all! I'm real tired, and I've got to get some shut eye!

So....

NIGHTS WORLD!

TPDE Concert 2008

2008-03-15T11:54:00.005+08:00

Yesterday, I finally watched The Leap Years at TM!!! Indeed, it was a really good show; heart-wretching story line.
I think they picked the right people for the right characters! Especially Li-Ann's besties. =DD

After the show, we jalan around the place then I went for the TPDE concert!!! =D

Ok, overall, the show was great, but I don't think it's worth $15 at all. I think paying $10 would have been better.

The first half of the show was not good. Now, allow me to critic as it's one of the few things I am good at. =DD

First half of the show

Ok, comtemporary blew me away. I was really impressed by the whole thing. In fact, their opening number nearly made me cry. (Keyword there: nearly.)

However, there was one dance under comtemporary where there was this girl who didn't know her steps well enough. Her timing was always off, and I have a feeling that she was standing at a wrong position in the show. Work on that, sweetie.

Now, for Hip-Hop.

I. am. truly. disappointed.

The parts where everyone from the Hip-Hop group entered the stage to dance, was messy, inorganised, and lacked impact.

During such dances, everyone needs to Bam! on the step at the same time. It creates the Boom! for the audience, and leaves us breathless.

Hell, I trust my Secondary school to do better.

Other than those parts. I like the parts where it was a dance off between the guys and the girls. =DD

Oh, and most of the girls weren't even smiling. It's irritating as they don't even look like they are enjoying the dance! Now, how do you expect the audience to enjoy?

I know, there are parts where you mustn't smile, but there are other parts where you smile!!! Now pucker up those lips and show us you are enjoying the dance!

There was a number of really good dancers in TPDE. There was this girl who really reminded me of my ex-classmate back in KC. And her dancing style was quite similar to her too! =DD

Sencond half of the show

Ok, for this half, I'm speechless.

I really liked it. A lot.
it made me miss dance all over again. =(
It made me want to watch the next year's one again. :)
It's so difficult to read what you're thinking.
--------
I can't believe you're half the reason why I wore that skirt.
Well, that's the end of my friday. I hope you all enjoy your weekend! I'll be busy watching F.R.I.E.N.D.S!

THE BIG RED BUTTON OF DOOM!!!

2008-03-11T18:03:00.001+08:00

I saw this on a friend's blog. Now, it's on mine =DD
Utter boredness has lead me to this.

Enjoy! HAHAHAHA!

Mentally Whacked

2008-03-09T18:24:00.004+08:00

I have no idea what's wrong with me today. I'm feeling really weird.

Not in a sense I'm sick or anything, but my heart is pounding really fast, for no utter reason!

Then my stomach feels like it is dropping 3cm every minute.
Looking at you makes me feel that way.
I feel as if I'm very scared for tomorrow to come. As if I'll die tomorrow or something. It's so weird.
It's not like I'm missing you...
It's like, I'm feeling all insecure at this moment.
...right?
So much feelings, I'm all giddy.

Is it because I've been slacking for the whole day? I don't know.

I'm gonna ask you girls reading this:

Have you all felt anything like this before?

'Cause I'm totally not liking this. =((

Happy happy day!

2008-03-08T01:04:00.003+08:00

Hi everyone! Today was really nice! Fairly interesting stuff happened! =DD

This morning, I took a bus 15 to school frmo the Parkway bus stop. For those who don't know, bus 15 goes the round-about near PP and U-turns back to the stop opposite PP.

However, I think the bus driver was blur or something, but he drove towards Katong shopping centre! Here's how it looks like:

The red line is the usual bus 15 route, while the blue line is the 'changed' route! haha =DD

I even took pictures! *BIG GRIN*

Look at the passenger's 'frantic' reaction. =P

Then I reached school and started to do a bit of CO scores (:
I'm surprised at how hardworking I am! hehe!

JOHN! Go do whatever scores we're still missing. haha =DD
I doubt I'll be this hardworking when the term starts.

Anywho, after YuRen arrived, he and Wilson started working on the To Zanarkard scores. I'm freakin' impressed, seeing those 2 working together to get the notes correct. And I heard my parts for the song! Although most of it are just chords, I prefer chords to melody. *MEGA BIG SMILE*

Not long later, we started to watch FRIENDS on Wilson's lappy! Man, it's been 156120 years since I last watched it! I stopped somewhere around season 5 or 6 I think? I'm gonna watch it all! Wahahahaha!

Then I left school and went to meet my Mum and Aunt for dinner @ Bugis! =DD

Oh! And we went inside Hotel Intercontinantal and they had this artsy stucture made of CHOCOLATE!!!

Cool, right?

I like this part best. haha! =D

We had dessert around the area, and I saw this Hello Kitty car!!!

I found it kinda cute, but I think the driver in there was looking at me weirdly. HAHA!

that's all folks! nights! I've got CO at 1ish tmr!! =DD

TPCO presents: Rhapsody

2008-03-04T23:29:00.003+08:00

Today was the first night for Rhapsody.

One down, one more to go! (:

----

I've got to learn how to take and write minutes! Irritating thing is that CommSkills in Applied Science doesn't teach that!!! =((

It's independent learning now, I guess.

Let me be able to deal with this. Please.

Merry Chritsmas Mr. Lawrence.

2008-03-03T23:49:00.012+08:00

I want to watch The Leap Years! Anyone wanna watch with me?
I love the trailer song, which is that YouTube screen up there! =DD

----

For the past 2 days, I've been working at Suntec, a convention called Asia Traders' Investors' Convention. With 4 of my other classmates we were to give out flyers for TMT Dimensions, which is some stock company.

We got to slack for 1 hour, and our favourite 'hiding' place is all the way at the other end of the convention hall. Haha! =D

I hope I'll get my pay on thrusday; I really want to buy those books! =DDD

----

CO today was great. I haven't played my sheng for 549472 years!
But I got to play it today. =D

And sadly, 2 of the songs I like were taken out from the concert. =((
I really wanted to play them. *BIG Sigh* =(

But anyway, I'll keep practicing my sheng. There's so must I must do, but so little time! If only the sheng was as portable as the DiZi.

Ha. That'll be the day.

----

EMO alert?

I'm sorry.
I shouldn't have done that.
I'll do my best to help out now.
I'm sorry. =(

Animals are lucky.

2008-02-28T19:06:00.003+08:00

Oh. My. God.

I can't believe life can get any more bored than this. I'm slacking at home, not doing anything! Other then the fact that I go on CrunchyRoll and OneManga to watch and read.

And the Sidney Sheldon book I'm currently reading is nearly finished. I can't wait to get the money from the weekend job and buy myself a new book. =)

Or rather, new books.

I have yet to locate that cupcake book in Singapore! I'm gonna buy it! =DD
And that new book by Sophie Kinsella, Remember Me?

I bet I'll blow half my pay on those 2 books alone.

And for the rest of this holidays, I'm gonna be quite busy. Namely because of CO practices.

CO practices and now a whooping 4-days-a-week thing from next week onwards. I can't say I'm not looking forward to it; I miss my Sheng too much.

For the record, I had the intention to name my sheng.

But then I thought about how weird it would sound. I mean:

"I miss (name of sheng) too much."

"I'm playing (name of sheng) now. Don't disturb."

Isn't that weird? haha!

Anyway, other then CO practices, I'm hoping to get a job with very very flexible hours.
Although I'll be working this weekend, it's only a 2-day job. I wanna get some income.

Somebody, grant me a decent, admin job!

Oh, I'm going for an interview tomorrow with Daph and Rachel. Wish me luck? (:

----------

On another note, I'm having difficulty sleep these few nights. At first, I thought it was because of the exams. However, it seems that I'm wrong.

I barely slept late night. Weird thing is, I'm not tired at all!

Oh wells!

- Cryssie signing off!

First Tremor of 2008

2008-02-25T17:08:00.002+08:00

Did anyone feel a tremor at around 4.40pm today?

'Cause I did. =D

Just one more paper to go. I shall stop blogging and continue studying. =DD

Make me studyyyyyyy

2008-02-22T23:11:00.004+08:00

Hi everyone! I believe this is the first appearance of me, Evil-Cryssie!

Today, I shall continue to blabber on and on and on and on about nothing!!!

Why?

Because I don't want to study! Idon't want to see anything about BNF nor FC, or about CHO, or metabolic rate or some other stuff which I abso-fucking-lutely am terrible in!

Yes everyone! Let's blabber and make sure I don't study! Blabber Blabber Blabber! Whee!

Lalaala!! No FC, No BNF! And I'd like to say on someone's behalf that she lik-

Holy shit. What am I doing?! I'm goodie-Cryssie! I've got FC Carbohydrates notes to complete, BNF revision to do, and I have to understand how to do those past year exam papers!

I need to encourage Crystal and make her study!!!

I've got to study! I need a better GPA for this sem!!! I must! I must! I must!

I wanna go for OS-

Hello! Evil-Cryssie here again! Blabber blabber blabber blabber! no motivation to study!!! lalaala!!!! Now where was I just now-

And that, is what's going on in my head.

Help!

Suggestion?

2008-02-16T22:47:00.002+08:00

Hello!

I bet most of you reading this are expecting me to upload those photos taken during the Vday Buffet.

But, I'm too lazy to do it.

Head on over to the flog of BCS in awhile to see it. I'll be uploading it there (:

Anywho, I just had this suggestion to V with regards to the picture thing.

Since she "really, really, really don’t want to hold up a cheesy fucking sign", I'd suggest she hold up her middle fingers in that photo.

Since you don't want a cheesy fucking sign, hold up a fucking sign!

Well, I'll update another time! Go see those pictures at the flog!

Valentine's day 08'

2008-02-14T23:58:00.000+08:00

Happy Valentine's everyone!

Week of Random cute-ly fun-ness!

2008-02-03T00:47:00.000+08:00

Hello!

This week was pretty crazy, so let's allow the pictures to talk, ok? (:

This was during Monday's FC lab!!! Fix and Dee with that BIG calculator!
And look at Pooh!!!

Craziness, bored-ness and during U-Art tutorial!!!

Haha, Jolene and I were waiting for other students to come into the lecture hall, and we started going whacky with the stuff we attached on our thumbdrive!

Haha!!!

I called it:

"Pooh is exposed during Nature's call".

hahaa!!!!

--------

Thurday's CO practice!

We celebrate ZhiHao's birthday again, and then slacked in the CO room!

For those of you who still don't know what my sheng looks like,

it looks like that!

And that's Sharon learning to play the Sheng!!! =D

This is Vanessa! =D

And Melissa with Vanessa!

Oh!!! And then Jordon and YuRen had to take some picture thingy, so they changed to those formal tops.

And thus, Sharon and I took this chance to get them to pose for us!

The first picture was done willingly....

But then, they got irritated as Sharon and I were screaming,

"Wah!!! So cute!!!"

That's why, they 'diao-ed' this picture....

Haha!

But they very cute! I'd pinch their cheeks if I could. =)))

If you want to see them playing the DiZi together, go over to Sharon's blog! =DDD

--------------------

I really like this!!! I hardly get a chance to draw these little lines thingy, so I'll treasure that exprience!

And on Monday after 12pm, I went out to Bugis with Jaime and LiHui for Jaime's Sister's Present!

And I blasted my money on food there! I ate Takoyaki, some breaded crispy thingy, and this!!!

It's Beard Papa's Chocolate fondant! Ok, so the chocolate inside doesn't flow out or anything like that. It's more like... lava cake.

Either way, I like it! =DDD

Below is a book I really really really want to get!

It was advertised on Marth Stewart's show! That's how I got to know about this book. But I didn't expect to find it in TP library!!!

There's a lot of nice recipes there! below are only 2 pictures though!

Hi Hat cupcakes! I've tried this recipe once, but it failed =(

And this is another one! Can't remember what it's called though! >.<

Anyway, that's my update for this week! I'll prolly be too lazy to update again until next week?

Lazy Lazy Lazy me. =)

Pack pack pack!

2008-02-02T00:37:00.000+08:00

Argh, I've gotta go pack my room!!!

Just because CNY is coming. Oh wells.

Out of curiousity, how do you feel about arranged marriages?

Tag on my board! Thank you! ;)

XOXO!

Lazy me.

2008-02-01T00:52:00.000+08:00

I'm just being lazy for this whole week.

I've been slacking and slacking ever since wednesday was over.

It feels good! =DDD

Anyway, I left my wallet in the CO room! Dang it. I'll be going down there tomorrow to get it back.

Thank goodness my EZ-link was with me. =DD

CNY coming!
But I prolly won't get any Ang Pao! =((

Oh wells. 2oo8 is just like that.

I can't help but feel that the Gods are giving me a sign with all these deaths.
I'll learn treasure everyone more. =DD

There's a 9am tutorial later on!!! But I still find CSAS 1 a bother than something useful.
And learning journal?! I hope it's something good. Cause I'm thinking all those reflection sheets like scrap paper.

I'm terrible, aren't I?

Ok, I'll stop and go do what I have to do. Like my BNF tut 10.
Which I still haven't found. I wonder where I placed it...

Nights world!

Not a very good year.

2008-01-29T01:53:00.000+08:00

Projects! Projects! And Performances. and SLACK!!!!
This year hasn't been the best.
Deaths. Wakes. Funerals.
And HuanLi.
Gods. Please please bless her.
Please, may she be well soon.
And hopefully, she won't get that Mona Lisa Syndrome thing.
Unless that's the road to recovery.
Gods. Bles her.

My complaints.

2008-01-17T23:04:00.000+08:00

You know what? I wanted to blog about how terrible my exprience for today was.
All the:

- Guys cooking
- We washing
- We washing
- And, we washing.

I mean, we're here to learn and all that. Not here to wash the plates.

But, on my way back today, I thought about the whole situation. Then, I asked myself:

"It is because Mr. L doesn't trust us?"

Thus he asks the people he trust more and do it?

I really don't know, but I'm quite sure of something:

He doesn't really respect us.

The girls of J2 were informed to go to the cafe at 9am. But it turns out that it was suppose to be 9.30am.
Stupid 'Mao'. Ihatehim.Ihatehim.IHATEhim.

But I'll talk about it another time.

Anyway, Ms. C told us about the event for today (We were having some Big-shots over at the cafe) when Mr. L came in and saw ask. And he said:

"What's this?"

He was refering to us. Hell, he was LOOKING at us saying that.

Jolene and I's reaction were about the same:

"This?!"

THIS?! I mean, seriously. "This"?! Are we JUST beings in your eyes?!

No, are we JUST items; non-living THINGS, in your eyes?!

We are humans, and we have feelings too! How can you just refer us to a mere word "This"?!

Are the boys all you think highly of, Mr. L?
Are we young girls so useless in your eyes?!

Even if we don't know anything, shouldn't you teach us? We are also your STUDENTS, Mr. L!

I fully understand if you wanted the some of the guys to help with the cooking. But you are not giving us a chance to learn! And if you keep giving them that chance, they may think they are more superior than us.

Kinda like 2 people in our class are. But the other one, I'm not sure whether if it's just egoistic.

Either way, just leaving the dishes to us, asking us to do nothing else, isn't what we're paying the school for.

We do dishes at home. We mop the floor at home.

What is it that we're doing in this fucked up course?

Venting post.

2008-01-13T02:13:00.000+08:00

Urgh... Damn it with platings. It's getting on my nerves because of one single dish.

I mean, seriously. What do you plate with celery and raw sotong paste?!
If I add carrot, it'll be called Celery and Carrot with sotong paste.

And who eats celery? They're bitter, and blah.

I'm not a fan of celery. I eat them, but that doesn't mean I actually like them.
And it's Celery with Sotong paste. What in the world am I suppose to come up with?
Yeah, I'm frustrated about something. and I can't talk about it here.
I'm just angry and currently venting my anger with this blog and PoD assignment.

Oh, and FC project is due tomorrow. I've gotta go print it out. And I need a printer too. Or rather, a Cashcard. Then I can just print stuff from the library instead.

And Birthdays as well. Well, that's a happier note. I shall go with that.

Nights world.

Randoms.

2008-01-05T22:37:00.000+08:00

I can't wait for a new monitor.

I don't like using my mum's computer. No speakers, no flash players, and I'm unable to watch stuff on crunchyroll and youtube.

Urgh.

But then again, I should be happy with the fact that I have a computer. Stop complaining, Crystal!

Oh and my term tests pretty much went down the drain... As usual.

Failed 2 subjects, FC and BNF. I failed BNF by one mark!!! My paper is currently with the teacher. Hopefully, I'll get that one mark to pass.

Oh, and for those who don't know, my Great-grandmother passed away on the New Year's Day.
And as a kana-soon (Great-grandchild), I've got to attend for most of the ritual stuff. Is it me, or have I hardened my heart so much in the pass few years? I didn't even cry during the wake and funeral. =(
Either way, I haven't been doing much stuff. Time to go do my FC lab report. Tata world!

Crys.

Happy New year!

2008-01-01T22:55:00.000+08:00

Hi everyone!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

It's 2008, and here's to wishing everyone a great year ahead!

=DDDDD

----------

On the 31st of Decemeber 2007, I had to do PoD project with my fellow groupmates!

Here's our plating!!!

We had California maki and some Chicken Cutlet Udon thingy =DD

The above pictures are Jaime's Plating (:

These 4 pictures below are Nana's plating (:

The following pictures are my plating...

And this is Jaime's Udon!!!

I like it =DD

Complementary colours!

The 2 pictures below are Martin's plating!

And Nana's Udon!

I like! ^^

My Udon! looks boring though! (>.<)!

Martin's Udon! He has 2 different platings (:

The one on top is in a black bowl...

While these are in a white bowl! (:

After project, we had a countdown at ECP!

And some pictures we took.

Like they say,

A picture speaks a thousand words.

Candid!

Once again, Happy new year!!! =DD

XOXO! from Crys ;)

Me and my cocked up computer moniter

2007-12-29T23:53:00.000+08:00

Firstly!

Happy Birthday Mummy!!!

I love my Mum =DDD
Hope you enjoyed your birthday! =DDD

-----

Next, my computer moniter sucks. Okay, it doesn't suck, it's just sick.
I'll be glad if it's 'sickness' doesn't affect my eyes.

And I was hoping towatch animes on crunchyroll. Dang =(

XOXO!!!

BCS X'mas Party 2007!

2007-12-26T23:45:00.000+08:00

Hello everyone!

The X'mas party at Andy's house has just ended, and I must say, I enjoyed it. (:

The guys did a pretty good job with the food, and I really liked the sandwiches made by Katherine and friends =DD

Good job!

Anywho, turns out I'm staying over at his place, Together with Jolene, Aloy and Martin.

Although this would be the last time I'm staying over, because my mum disapproves of it.
It's pretty understandable; after all, she's my Mum (:

Her birthday is coming up soon, What should I get for her?

Okies, I shall trouble myself with that thought later. They're playing Mahjong now! =DD

XOXO!

Merry Christmas!

2007-12-26T00:01:00.000+08:00

Merry Christmas!

Yeah, it's Christmas! And I've enjoyed myself at my family X'mas party (:

My Mum made this:

Do you know what's that?

It's Agar Agar!

We named it Frosty the Agar Agar =DD

Want one for you X'mas party next year? Let me know! =DD

-------------

Anywho, I was surprised with my X'mas gifts this year.

In fact, I didn't expect any X'mas gifts.

But I received all of these!!!

There's:

Back to Basics by Christina Aguilera,

2 Braclets,

Perfume

harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows

A jewelry box, and...

A baking set!!!

Ok, it's not really a baking set, but I got cake moulds and pie molds!
Just what I wanted from X'mas!!!

ThankyouThankyouThankyou!

=DDD

Gavotte

2007-12-22T19:54:00.000+08:00

And that's Gavotte. I had a f*cked up time looking for this. Because when I typed 'Gavotte', it came up with everything not related to this Gavotte I was looking for. I had to go under La Corda D'Oro to get the links.

But it's all good now. =)

The search for this Gavotte came up with quite a number badly played ones. So I think this was the best. =D

Gavotte is a happy song!~ Play it with short notes, kinda like The Entertainer.

XOXO!

first week of my holiday

2007-12-20T23:56:00.000+08:00

The Dinner held at Raffles Country Club was fairly enjoyable (:

The food wasn't all that great though. I expected a lot more. Oh wells. =)

After the dinner, we went over to Aloy's house after renting 2 movies: Stomp the Yard and Van Wilder 2.

Stomp the Yard was pretty good; I love dance movies. =DD

For Van Wilder 2, it's a hilarious movie. but the catch is that it's dirty humor. You've gotta think dirty to understand the jokes.

Anywho, we ended up crashing at Aloy's place. We were sleeping on the sofa, and floor. And the air-con temperature was bloody cold...

Sad part is, I was freezing there, and no jacket. I'm never crashing at anyone's place ever again without my jacket.

We had breakfast and left for home~

Where I quickly showered and slumped into bed. My warm, cosy bed. Ahhhh.....
And I slept until 6pm. I also slept like a pig. Appartently, my mum called me on the house phone, and I didn't even answer.

Talk about me being deaf.

But otherwise, I spent the rest of my day at house. And this is the main part:

MY MUM GOT ME CHRISTINA AGUILERA'S BACK TO BASICS!!!!

Yes, people. After so long, my mum got me that for X'mas!!! Thank you Mummy!!!

Now, I shall go listen to both the CDs now. Allow me to go to the Christina la-la land.

XOXO!

My week

2007-12-16T18:52:00.000+08:00

Friday was my last paper, PoD.
I think I'll pass. but I'm pretty sure I won't pass well.

After the paper, our class went out for Badminton!!!

It's been some time since I've gotten some workout, so it's gooooood. =DD

But I had to leave earlier as I'm meeting my dearies. It's been like, 50 thousand years since I've last seen them.

Cass, Deb, Sarah and I!

And of all the days I bring my camera, I don't have my memory card with me. What luck. @$!^$#^$^@%$&@!

But yeah, I enjoyed dinner with them, and we chat and all that. I'd love to do that again sometime. =DD

My biggest hug to my dearies. Yes Daphne, that includes you.

XOXO!

Bond Loving

2007-12-11T22:36:00.000+08:00

New music!

Yay! I like, like like LIKE!!

Another thing to add into my X'mas wish list:

Bond CD!

XOXO!

Spoilt and Forgotten.

2007-12-09T23:33:00.000+08:00

Today, my 5 year-old cousin was throwing a tantrum because we didn't give her some water babies to play with.

And she started to scream and cry, gaining the attention on my Aunt (her God-Ma). The story from then on is no longer important.

What I want to say is, I have a similar experience when I was around 5-6 years old as well. But instead of water babies, it was marbles.

I was getting babysitted by my Nanny then. And I lived around Macpherson, my old house. Nanny lived around that area as well.

I was following my Nanny around her house, when I stumbled on a small container of marbles.

Small, round, and pretty marbles.

I wanted to get my hands on them, play with them, throw them around... you get the point.

When I asked Nanny if I could play with them, she said 'No', and then with a bunch of reasons why I can't play with them.

Now, I was a kid. And kids hardly talk terms with adults. They make people do as they want.

And that was exactly what I did then. I started to speaking loudly, saying I want the marbles, and all that. When she still stood her stand, I threw in my trump card.

I started screaming.

Now, for those who know how kids are like around that age, their screaming really pierce your ears. So, I started screaming and sitting on the floor, throw my tantrum on her. I was unwilling to move until I got my hands on those marbles.

Nanny handled me really well. She still stood her stand, and calmly lectured me.

It was then I realised that I have lost that fight; there's no way I'll get to touch those marbles.

A lesson was taught, and it was a lesson learnt.

I hope my Cousin learnt that as well. =D

---------------

On another note, I've just watch an Anime called CLANNAD.

Ok, lecture me, kill me, I don't care. I know I'm supposed to be studying, but I ended up watching Anime. But I did study! I studied the whole of BNF: Lipids!

Yay me! =DD

Anyway, I cried watching CLANNAD. For me to tell you the whole story, would suck as I'm a pretty bad story teller. So, I'll just tell you what made me cry.

How would you feel if you woke up one day, and something seems to be missing in your life?

As if you've forgotten something important; like a friend?

CLANNAD touched on this topic, where the 2 main characters meet this person who is not human nor ghost. This person, is in fact a comatose person.

Yet, it's as if her spirit was away from her body.

At first, everyone could see her. But as her real body condition worsened, her 'spirit' self seems to be disappearing.

You try so hard to remember this person in your life. You may have even spent the whole night with her. However, you wake up the next day, not even remembering her name, or her existence. How would she feel?

And when you finally remember her, you see her again. And she was by your side, all this time.

And even after all that, you'll still forget her. Yet, your body remembers her.

Imagine if the people you cared most about forgot about you. And for them to remember you,

... was not meant to be.

I swear, that'll be even worse then death.

------------------

I'll be studying at MP library tomorrow. Anyone cares to join me? =D

- Crys

hates how much I love you.

Photo Post!

2007-12-09T00:02:00.000+08:00

PHOTO POST!!!

Looks nice?

It's agar.

I made a similar one for Eric and cK's birthday, but Cheeks ended up not coming.

Oh wells, no 'cake' for him!

Happy belated Birthday again guys! =DD

Oh, and Sam made this for us, SKY-ians.

She's so sweet! It's already been one year since we've know each other at the Singapore Poly CFP. And she remembers! Thank you Sam! Love, love and a MEGA BIG HUG for you =DD

-----------

Ok, below are some of the plated pictures taken during my PoD lab session. Our class had to plate different things, in different groups. It's kinda fun, and really nice =DD

Fried vegetarian beehoon by Aloy's group

Jaime's Group!

Shahidah's group =DD (Love the Ice Cream plating)

Everyone with our plated food!!!

-------------

Ok, now it's where I'm gonna display mosaics!!!

For U-Art part 1, it's Mosaic. Since nearly everyone in BCS were given U-Art as our second CDS, we had to do it. I got my hands onto some pictures, and I shall post them up here!

It's mine. 'Inspired' by Nessa's Canvas Artwork last year =DD

Cheryl's Mosaic! =D

Jolene's Mosaic! =D

Aloy's Mosaic! =D

Someone's Mosaic?

Ok, I have no idea who did those 2 mosaics. (above and below) I saw it, and just took a picture of it. I'm pretty sure those 2 got As for it. Smart Artistic people =D

Another person's Mosaic!

-------------------

That's all for today! Next week is term test week, and I haven't start studying!

I better mug like some lazy smart-ass tomorrow and Monday!!!

G'Nights!

That baking day in school

2007-12-04T15:13:00.000+08:00

Guess what? Our course is finally getting started with the baking thingy for our Bistro Walk Cafe!!!

And today, it was my shift! Haha =DDD

Li Hui was with me too! But there was only the 2 of us from J2, and the rest are from J1. JB Boy, Jeremy, Faizah? and Jason.

But only JB boy and Jeremy turned up. But what the heck, we had fun! ^^

We were making bread dough and this thing call Foccacia. It's really fun dealing with dough, although it makes your hand sticky and all that.

The sad part is that we couldn't eat our bread until... Thursday? Yeah. Sad, huh?

I hope it'll turn out well though!!!

Now my hand smells of dough and yeast. Not that the smell is bad, but it just makes me hungry.

------------------

And currently, I'm waiting for 4 pm to come. My Japanese tutorial is my last class of the day. And there's no CO this week! =((

I've come to enjoy CO. In fact, I think I'm loving my sheng a little too much. And I'm missing Cello too. People who own cellos are just rich (and maybe lucky) bastards.

*cough* clement *cough* yuren *cough*

Ya. And Steffi passed me the score for the song Ave Maria. But the one she passed me was the one by Bach. Not what I'm looking for.

And she only gave me the first page! In other words, it's an incomplete song.

But I'm still gonna treasure it. I don't know when I'm ever gonna see her again. She's right now overseas studying.

Right after her 'O' levels somemore.

Either way, God bless Steffi. Miss you loads!

Oh, and back to the Ave Maria, I'm looking for the one by Schubert. Anyone has that score?

Gonna upload photos of my Principle of Design (PoD) soon!

Big loves,
and Crys loves you!

Out of the blue

2007-12-02T17:47:00.000+08:00

This weekend is pretty relaxing for me =DD

No more Mosaic, no more rushing of lab reports, nothing.

I like. =DDD

Oh, I'm really proud of myself for PoD quiz. I did really well. ^-^
Considering the fact that I hardly ever get high marks in school, this news shall go down into my blog!

I hope this sem will still be this good. I did so badly for last sem, and I NEED to pull up my grades. God bless!

I fully intend to bake one of those tart thingy. You know, those nice tarts like the one above?
I think my X'mas wish list would be filled with baking equipments. I've been borrowing everything from my Auntie and Grandma.

I'll be wishing for:

- A mixer
- A spatula
- Mixing bowls of different sizes
- 2 cake moulds, 1 big 1 small. (I've been using my Aunt's)

Yeah, mainly those. =DD

Dear Santa, I wish for those for X'mas!

XOXO!

Very Very Tired.

2007-12-01T01:54:00.000+08:00

I just remembered the ending of 'Paradise Kiss' anime. And I remembered how much it hurts with such a heart. =(
Love the show ;)

--------

I've been sleeping really late this week. At 3+ am. I slept at 4am on Tuesday night.
BUT!

I have a valid reason. I was doing my CDS, which was U-Art: Mosaic. I swear, I never wanna touch art again. =((

Now, really tired. Really can't concentrate le. I shall sleep till 12noon tomorrow!!!

Nights' world!

I don't care what they say,
I'm in love with you.
They try to pull me away,
but they don't know the truth.

I love this song =DD

XOXO!

Die mosaic. DIE!!!

2007-11-26T23:37:00.000+08:00

Mosaic sucks. Mine is due on Wednesday, and I'm not even 50% done. Fuck.

And I forgot to buy gray paper again! So my work is really on hold until I get my hands on it. D=

And because of mosaic, I may just have to skip CO practice tomorrow. I really wanna go!

I miss my sheng!!! =((((

----------------------

Anywho, here's a little something! (Thanks to LiHui's blog!)

Crystal - a scoop of sensitivity - a teaspoon of seduction - a teaspoon of hotness Mix on high, and serve immediately.
'What is your personality recipe?' at QuizGalaxy.com

Hehe! ;)

XOXO!

"Live every second like it was my last one"

2007-11-24T12:42:00.000+08:00

Congrats to Eugene! Who got the name of the song correct!

As I promised:

*BIG (virtual) HUG* to Eugene!

But no cake for you. Hehe!

------------------

Last week has been busy. I shall try to slow down in my life.

Rush when I have to rush. Walk when I have to walk. Relax~

*Going Zen*

Oh, I'm going for the museum thingy later. Bye!

XOXO! - Crys ;)

God, bless her.

2007-11-21T01:54:00.000+08:00

I found out that Monica passed on last week.

She's my school mate back when I was Sec 4?
Yeah. She had leukaemia.

God, bless her.

When I read it on Pammy's blog, I started tearing. I really don't know why. I don't even know Monica. All I knew is that she was from KC, a year older than me.
I guess, we KCians are pretty much a family, huh?

Such a strong girl. One's life is just so short. Treasure it.

Me, and my complaicent self.

2007-11-20T23:08:00.000+08:00

I want to complaint. And since this is my blog, I can, right?

Ah, what the heck. This is where I can be egoistic and complacent. Watch me do that here. Bwahhahahahahaha!!!

*Cough*
AHEM.

Yes, back to being a complacent person.
Here it goes!

Blardy hell. I thought I've escaped from Art after my O levels. And now, I've gotten an Art CDS.

Whee. I'm so excited!
NOT.

I mean, really. 'Understandind Art' has NOTHING to do with my course. I'm learning how to cook, not how to paint and pasting. This second CDS was given to us because the teacher believes that it is actually related to our course.

And as for those who don't know, my U-art Part one is Mosaic. Part 2 is mask-making. Now, let's not worry about that until it comes.

And yes, back to mosaic. Seriously, what does mosaic have to do with our cooking course? it's not like we're gonna cut our steak into miserably small pieces and paste it in an artistic way!

The most people would think of is:

"Wow! It's bite-size!"

We'll prolly spend God-knows-how-long just placing the dish. And by the time it's done, the food is cold. And FYI, Steak is not a cold dish.

And this mosaic, has to be finished by next week. What's the freakin' rush?
We've got other test and whatevers coming in the next few weeks too. And you should not rush Art.

That's just mosaic. I've still got 3 projects with I've barely touched with my group mates. Shit.

Okay, I'm tired and I shall go sleep now. Good news is that my lecture starts at 12noon tomorrow.
Bwaahhhahahahahahahaha!!!

*Cough*
AHEM.

Oyasumi!!! ;)

Don’t look back got a new direction
I loved you once, needed protection
You’re still a part of everything I do
You’re on my heart just like a tattoo

A virtual Big hug to the first person knows the title of this song! No cheating! ;)

And I may just throw in a home-made birthday cake!

My one month.

2007-11-18T15:10:00.000+08:00

It's been a month since my birthday passed. But I still don't feel 17.
I've always felt one year younger then I am. Hmm.

I'm slacking

2007-11-17T21:36:00.000+08:00

Argh! I'm slacking too much!

I'm so irritated with myself. I know I have work to do, but there's no sense of urgency in me! =(
Damn, have a look at my To-Do list:

1. U-Art: Mosaic
2. FC: Lab flow chart
3. Study for PoD quiz (and I don't even know when it is!)
4. Get started on PoD and BNF projects (Haven't touched it!)
5. Bake that nice Raspberry Lemon tart. (Either that or a chocolate tart!)
6. Comm Skills: practice (at least) one lab report writing
7. Start studying for BNF test!
8. Clean up my room
9. FIND A JOB!!!

See!!! So much things to do! And I'm still here blogging and complaining. Baaadd Crystal.

Oh, and I really want to work and study at the same time. Problem is finding a job that is that flexible.

Janice is damn lucky to have a modelling job. She can choose when to accept a job and when to reject it.

I guess some people are lucky with job findings. *BIG sigh*

Somebody! I make me go do my stuff!!! =(

... please?

Woodwind TPCO

2007-11-11T01:13:00.000+08:00

Come to think of it, I never really did post much about the CO people in school.

Thus, allow me to introduce

The woodwind section

TPCO

From left: ShiYun, Weina, Me, John, Wantat (the half face), Jordon and Wesley.

From left: Wesley, ShiYun, Weina, Me, John and Wantat.

There's Yu Ren and Nicholas as well.

But Nick is a Year 3, and Yu Ren kindly refused the invitation to take a picture.

Anywho, he's the guy who I said looks like ShiYu from KC. You know, the KCCO percussion girl?

Above: That's Yu Ren, on the right.

Below: That's Shi Yu, also on the right.

I koop-ed these from their friendster photos. If they EVER saw it here, I swear I'm dead.

And I visited their friendster using my account. I must be like some stalker of something.
Then again, it's not like they'll see my blog.

... right?

It's weird to not say goodbye.

2007-11-10T00:07:00.000+08:00

Finally, after weeks of practicing, the day came.

My performance night went pretty well. =DD

After the preformance, I returned to the CO to change and grab my stuff. And then, I left.

Just like that. Didn't tell anyone I was leaving or anything. Didn't say the word 'Bye!' to anyone.

I just...

Left.

And after leaving the CO room, I felt like I forgot something. but I don't know what. But one thing is for sure:

The 'something', isn't an actual item.

The feeling is similar to 'regret'. But yet, different.
This feeling is like 'lost', 'forgotten'.

It's like you forgot to tell someone something important.

Not as if me leaving is anything important. But there's just that sense of emptiness.
I'll start saying goodbye whenever I leave from now.

Goodbye.

P.S.
I found out that a distant relative of mine just died. =(
She's my Grandpa's brother's wife.
Apparently, she was on her road to recovery, when she just gave up. =((

It makes me remember how fragile life is.

- Crys

You suck

2007-11-06T00:09:00.000+08:00

Here I am, eating cup noodles as my DINNER.

Yes, DINNER.

I ended CO late. Very late. The bloody rehersal took nearly forever.

This ended up with me missing the last bus home.
Together with WeiNa, Wesley, we shared a cab home.

This is where the story begins.

Some guy asked if the last bus has left, and we said yes. With the pained look in he's face, he was obviously thinking of what to do.

Whether if he could go onto the cab with us, or find some other way to get to his destination.

Now, for you, it maybe an easy choice. However, the situation changes if you suffer from "car-sickness".

He was really hesitant about it.

And yet, Wesley was just really rude about it. He was all impaitent and "hurry up and make a choice" kinda thing.

Ok, like seriously,

WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?!

I know you're in a hurry, but it's just rude and impolite to say "Hurry up! We're going! We're going!!!"

Well if YOU are in a hurry, go take the cab alone. I'm prefectly fine with that. You in one cab, and I in another.

You see, that's why I don't like you. You are plain rude. I can't believe you gave that sorta look when your Mother came to support you at the Esplanade.

Put yourself in other people's shoes. Do you know how much it hurts a Mother when you give her that I-don't-want-you-here or the You-are-embarrassing-me look?

If you don't, let me tell you:

It hurts. A LOT. A HELL LOT.

She loves and cares for you, you fucktard.

Now, that is one issue done. The next issue is how you treat others.

If you are not very close to them, don't go leaning on them, hooking hands with them, or jumping on their backs.

You are seventeen, for God's sake. Take the signs that they don't what you being so close to them.

You weigh how much, over 50kg?
People who weight over 50kg don't go jumping on other people's backs. You are no longer five years old. In case you have never noticed:

You may just break them backs.

Also, you're not some little boy. You leaning on other people doesn't give off that cute impression, if that is what you were trying to achieve.

And the hooking hands thing? So not working out. She was obviously trying to get you off her.

You are just irritating her with your actions.

Grow up.

My belated Birthday Celebration

2007-10-28T23:08:00.000+08:00

Yesterday, I went out with the SKY.

We ate at PastaMania, CineLeisure. We had combo meals and all that =D
We sat there from 4ish? and ate until Sam came. Which was like, 6ish?

Longest I've ever sat in PastaMania.

And they had plans to watch a movie, but it was cancelled as there wasn't many seats left.
By then, Pam and I were at the 'Crepes' place, eating a delicious Choco Crave Crepe. Oiishi-desu!!!

And they are the sweetest people I know! They surprised me with a small little cake for one!

It really caught me off guard! I mean, one moment I'm eating that crepe, and the next moment they were all singing 'Happy Birthday'.

And the cute little strawberry cheesecake for one was really for one! And they are still unwilling to tell me where they got the cake from; I found it really nice! =D

And Pam, I think I would have found the place you guy got the cake from in 70 years time. Haha!

Oh, and I've received a nice, star chain!!!

In case you all didn't know, STAR is my favourite shape.

Thank you all so much!!!

Watashi Hontoni Ureshii-desu!!
Crystal loves you all!!! =DD

I'm a Woman of Contradiction

2007-10-26T00:58:00.000+08:00

I'm a very contradicting person.

One moment I can be all:

"You shouldn't go after the guy! Make him want you!"

And the next moment, I'm all:

"Go after him, woman. He's leaving!!!"

And also, I may be the reason guys become gay, and girls become lesbian.

To girls, I'll usually be like this:

"You are the girl. Make he like you. That pretty much assures the relationship stability or something like that."

However, to Guys, I'll be:

"Uncle! Go after her! But very discreetly. Make her want you. But you have to always make the first initiative."

See? Gosh, I should stop being like this. So contradicting, So..

fickle-minded?

Wait a minute, as a female, technically I'm allowed to be fickle-minded.
If only you can read this now.

Her Christmas Breasts

2007-10-23T00:09:00.000+08:00

I recommend you to read here. It's pretty amusing.

Truthfully, I'm suprised that a woman has such an obsession with breasts.

Well, that's pretty much all I've got to say for today.

I've got school tomorrow. Let's just hope that I don't fall asleep during lecture. =D

Bartender

2007-10-21T00:35:00.000+08:00

I came by this anime, and I was suprised by the first episode of it.

I've always thought that the name 'bartender' came from the fact that you have someone tending the bar.

However, in this anime, they say that the word 'bartender' came from these two words:

'Bar'

and

'Tender'

'Tender' as in the feeling 'tender'.

This show gave me a new perspective of bartenders. =)

My 17th Birthday

2007-10-19T23:44:00.000+08:00

I just turned 17 at 20:02, yesterday.

This is actually the best birthday that I've celebrated so far im my life.

In celebration of my birthday, I...

1) Celebrated with my family on Sunday. Cousins and all =)

2) My dearest classmates surprised me with a Chocolate cake around 12am yesterday,

3) And I went for Sakae Sushi with my Mum and Dad.

And just when I couldn't ask for more,

My Nanny turns up today and gave me my gift.

And I got to see baby Alexavier too!

Gosh, he looks like his Dad!!!

I also received SMSes from various friends:

Shahidah,

Hilyah,

HuiXin,

Wenying,

John,

Pamela,

Eugene,

Daphne,

My Dad! =D

Joycelyn Jie Jie! (Mother of baby Alex!)

My Mum! =D

Huan Li,

and

Garrence Kor Kor! =D

The SMS from my Mum was really thoughtful.

Knowing her, she takes forever to type out a short 5 word message.

Now, with that in mind,

she sent me an SMS, (typed in front of me, by the way)

at 8.02pm.

My birth time.

God,

I feel really loved this year. =DD

Thank you everyone!!!

Even to the people who made the friendster comments!!!

Crystal,

gives everyone a Big, MEGA HUG!!!

My Cookies!

2007-10-12T22:59:00.000+08:00

The plan today was to go out to Grand Seasons and get Daphne's pay check.

Read that sentence again, I said: Daphne's pay check.

I didn't expect to get mine as well. I thought That since I worked for only 2 days, I won't get anything. Afterall, I thought I had to work for a minimum of 3 days to get paid.

But after 2 days of work, I received an amount of $84.50. =DDDDD

For 2 days of slack working, I'd say I got off good. =)

--------------------------

And I baked cookies today! The recipe I used was the one I took off the Hershey's semisweet chocolate chip wrapper. I was flipping through my recipe file (yes, I do have a recipe file), and I saw that little piece of plastic with the recipe on it.

It's really simple recipe, and I got all the ingredients I need at home. The best part was:

I didn't even had to use the eletric mixer!
Thus, easy cleaning for me!!! Woot!

So, I officially say that baking cookies are easier than baking cakes. =DD

And also, I used icing sugar instead of granulated sugar, I added about 5-6 tablespoons.

INGREDIENTS

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tap salt
1 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 eggs
2 cups Hershey's semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup chopped nuts (optional)

METHOD

1. Heat oven to 375 degrees C.
2. Stir together flour, baking soda and salt.
3. In another mixing bowl, beat butter, granulated sugar, brown suagr and vanilla in large bowl with mixer until creamy.
4. Add eggs; beat well.
5. Gradually add flour mixture, beating well. Stir in chocolate chips and nuts, if desired.
6. Drop by rounded teaspoons onto ungreased cookie sheet.
7. Bake 8-10 mins or until lightly browned. Cool slightly; remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely.

Makes about 5 dozen cookies.

My Chinese Birthday

2007-10-11T22:00:00.000+08:00

My mum told me that it's my chinese birthday today.

Apparently, I was born on this lunar date 17 years ago.

This birthday made me realised that my birthday's drawing near.

You know, I kinda forgot about my birthday. I've been celebrating other people's birthday that I forgot about mine. Come to think of it, I know why.
All I got then were birthday wishes and 1-2 presents. I feel pathetic sometimes.
My birthday has always fallen sround the post-exam periods. All the checking of papers were never good news. Urgh. =(

But not this year! It's still holidays for me! Lucky me (:

Now, since we're on the topic of birthdays, I'll add my birthday wish list here!!! =D
It's really short. So don't worry. =D

Crystal's birthday wishlist!

1. Christina Aguilera's Back to Basics CD!!!

And actually, that's mainly it. I promised it would be short.

Please, please! I really want that CD. I've been putting it as number 1 in ALL of my wishlists.
I've wanted it since it came out! It's a 2 CDs album, thus it's not possible to download all of them. Can you imagine the amount of space it'll take up on my C drive?!

So can someone get me that CD? PLEASEEEE???? [with sugar and cherry on top?]

Okay, after reading all of that,
I sound like a whiny kid.

Come to think of it, I wondered why I never went to buy it...

Oh yeah, it was because I spent money on food instead. I swear I'll faint if I don't eat anything for one whole day.

This is one reason why I admire the Muslims. They are so strong (:

Now, if you don't want to get me the CD, it's ok! Just get me a small chocolate cake from 4leaves or Chocz or some other place, I'll be happy! =DD

But if you want more materialistic stuff, earrings and accessories will do fine too =DD

Ah, what the heck, cookies will be great too! But if it ain't all that nice, I'll comment on it. When it comes to food, I'm merciless.

Bwahahahahahaha!!!

And I think I'm gonna go bake cookies soon. =D

I NEED SOME SNACKS AT HOME!!!

XOXO,
Crystal

My Genting Trip

2007-10-09T23:01:00.000+08:00

I've just realised that I have yet to post up on my Genting trip. Since it's been so long, I decided to just post about the food there! I'll be typing from what I remember though!

Day 2's Dinner!

[ Thai Styled Chicken ]

This dish can be found in Singapore too! I like!! It's sweet, and sour.. and the chicken skin has a crispy feel to it! =D

[ Marmite Chicken Wings ]

I love this one. It's sweet, and very very very tasty!!! I haven't found this in Singapore though...
And I never knew that Marmite is sweet!

I didn't get to take pictures of the rest of the dishes, but that dinner was really pleasent! I ate to my fill!

Day 3's Lunch!

Ok, I know saying that I ate KFC for lunch seem nothing interesting, but you know those rumors about how Malaysia's KFC is nicer than Singapore's?

Well, they are true.

I'm not kidding. Although the chicken they use there are Kampong Chicken, they weren't tough at all! BCS students did learn that Kampong Chicken is less tender than...

Well, non-kampong chicken.

But although it is that case, the chicken isn't tough at all! It's really nice, and pretty tender! It's juicy as well!!! =DD

My yesterday and today

2007-10-06T02:49:00.000+08:00

Last Night, I baked cheesecake with Jaime and LiHui!

But we baked all the way into the night! the two of them returned home at 12ish!

Today, I followed Eugene to Acer buliding as his poor lappie (laptop) crashed. Poor Lappie...
All of his files, gone. If that was my lappie, I'll cry man.

But thank goodness I tend to have back copies of my important stuff! =D

Then we went to Parkway, and ate there! Ban Mian is goooooooood.
Oh! on our way to PP, there was this couple smooching in the MRT. Talk about public display of affection!

I really think that couples should get a room for that. Smooching, I mean.
I'm not saying that it's disgusting, (Hell, I don't find it disgusting.) but as a girl, I would prefer such displays of affection not to be shown to the public.
Hugging and light kiss (like touching of lips) are okay in public. But not french kissing.

Well, you show some, you hide some. I suggest you hide those intimate ones.

Anyway!

I'm gonna do the 'Hi-hat' for my Hi-Hat Cupcakes later today! Must wake up early though!

Thus, I better go sleep now! I've been sleeping real late lately. Around 3am. Last Night, I slept at 4am.

It was a miracle for me to meet Eugene on time today.

And evening today, we're celebrating Pam's birthday!!! Scream 'Yay!' =DDD

Loves,
Crystal

Anime!

2007-10-02T02:12:00.000+08:00

[ Mitsukuni Haninosuka a.k.a Hunny-sempai ]

Now that I do not work, I have loadsa free time on my hands. Thus, I'm watching animes from youtube and crunchyroll

And I'm re-watching Ouran High School Host Club. I love that anime.

There's good looking anime guys there.
There's one extremely cute girl there.
And Hunny-sempai is just undeniably cute.

Not forgetting to mention: rich bastards.

And also,

Homo-homo themes can't be placed better in any other anime.

;)

Hi Hat Cupcakes

2007-09-28T21:43:00.000+08:00

Doesn't that looks just beautiful?

I really want to make that!!! And I am! =DD

Next week, either Monday or Tuesday.

I can't wait!!!

Work tomorrow

2007-09-28T02:26:00.000+08:00

After the all those performances, I've still got to report to work tomorrow at 10.30am.

God, I hate that job.

Yes, I'm quitting, but if I really quit now, I wouldn't be able to get my pay! Should I sacrifice about $50 to quit?
'Cause the 2 days I worked? I'll only be able to get about $50.

And since I need at least 3 days of work to get my pay, I'm wondering if I should just not get that $50? and save myself form that misery.

I really don't wanna to work tomorrow! I can't seem to explain how badly I don't want to go.

Money seems to be the motivation for me to go for work on Friday, but I KNOW this 'motivation' would last long enough to last me for the rest of the day.

Suggestions? Advice? pleassee?

And my Mum isn't of much help. She goes:

"It's your choice. You can forsake that $50. Your Choice."

God, help!!!

- Crystal

A quick update on my life

2007-09-25T00:50:00.000+08:00

Hi everyone reading this!

I'm gonna be very busy for the whole of this week. Chinese Orchestra practices, SKY outing, work, and performances. Oh yes, I'm packed.

Speaking of performances, I'm having one on the 25th of September, at the TP triangle garden. It's a CO performance, and it's my FIRST PERFORMANCE!

It's in celebration of the Mid-authum festival. You'll probably see lights and, of course, lanterns.
I heard that the first 100 or 50 people who go get goodie bags!!! =D

So, come! Go for this event!
And if this attracts you more:

COME AND WATCH ME SCREW UP!

And I'm not kidding about that. There are so many songs, and I can barely play any of them. Hell knows why I'm performing there in the first place.

That's for Tuesday. The week doesn't get better from there.

For Wednesday and Thursday, I've got another performance.

Whee.

This on is gonna be at the Durain, a.k.a. the Esplanrrrade.

I have no idea what is the event. I just know that I'm gonna screw myself up there again.
Ahh!~ the humiliation!

And I'm working on Friday and Saturday. And I'm quitting after that.

Now for those who don't know, yes, I have been working as a Customer Service Officer.

In lament terms, it's telemarketing.

Urgh, I hate that job. I really can't stand it, and I'm not even pass my third day of work! This Friday will be my third day of work! And I'm quitting in less than a weeks' worth of work!

God, bless me for this week! This busy-ness isn't what I'm looking for in life!

I like long bus rides.

I like Modern-ised Oldies; like Chirstina Aguilera's Back to Basics.

I like taking walks, with the cooling wind blow around.

I do NOT like workaholics.

I do NOT like short sleeps.

I do NOT like busy-ness.

Well, I better go do my usual stuff on net, and then retreat to my nice and comfy bed with my soft blanket.

*Pun-nyah~ * =3

On the topic of Humans

2007-09-17T23:35:00.000+08:00

I feel humans interesting.

As in, humans are very good specimens to observe. The best part is, you get to see them every single day.

So, in a way, I'm kind of queer. Now, I'm sure a number of you reading this have felt the tremor around 7pm last week. 'Cause I felt it.

I was playing O2Jam (for those who don't know, it's a MMORPG game) when I felt that tremor. I heard my neighbours going in Hokkien, "It's shaking! Can you feel it?" and "Auntie, got shake right?".

That is one example to which why I find humans exciting. And interesting.

Thus, I went downstairs to check out the commotion. Trust me, you'll feast your eyes on it. You see kids, taking this chance to run around like nobody's buisness, and their parents just continue to look up at the buliding they just got down from.

Ok, seriously. There's no use running down from the comforts of your home. If the buliding crashes, you, the people at ground floor of that buliding, will be crushed. Just like the aftermath of the buliding.

So, why not take your time, and find an actual safe spot at your own home, and hide there like cowards. In times of natural disaters, it prefectly fine to be cowards.

And during such times, are the best times to find humans more interesting than ever.

My exam results!

2007-09-12T20:13:00.000+08:00

I actually wanted to post about my trip to Genting, and all that usual rambblings I have here.

But, something more important came up when I saw Andy's nick on MSN.

The exam results are out!!!

Yes, that's what got me all worked up.

And I'm really glad about my results. Although I didn't get any As, (which means that I passed with frying colours) I did pass all my subjects.

I passed Mathematics and Statistics. In other words, a miracle has happened. Thank God! =DD

I'm disappointed for my OBC though. I didn't do as well as I expected. =( Oh wells.

I guess the post for my Genting trip will have to wait. I'm really glad I passed everything. This means no supp papers for me! =DD

- crys

Have you ever?

2007-09-06T21:24:00.000+08:00

Have you ever had one of those days?

Where everything was just so simple?
Where evreything was just laughs?
And there wasn't a moment to frown?

I had one of those days. And it was yesterday :)

I had my brunch was Steffi and her friend.

I went to visit my ex-tuition teacher, Mdm Zu.
I even got her apples, as a belated teachers' day gift (:
I followed my cousin to her grandma's house.
And we played with dogs.
Her neighbours' dogs were really cute. =DD

And then, I left for my grandma's house.
Followed by a game of volleyball with my cousins downstairs.

And that was my yesterday. I felt that it was enjoyable, yet simple. Something I haven't felt for a long time.
I like it :)

Now, I have some news to share. But I highly doubt it will affect your lives since it's about me, me and ME!

(Now, was my ego speaking.)

I'm going to Genting! Whee!!!
Yes, yes and YES!

I'll be gone from this Friday (a.k.a tomorrow) till this Sunday (9th Sep 2007).

I hope I'll have a nice time! Everytime I went Genting, it was theme parks. Just theme parks.
Yeah, I was real bored everytime I went there. You see, I don't take thrill rides.
'Cause I hate heights. Urgh.

Let's hope that I'll have a hell of a time there with bowlings and arcades =DD

I woulda added 'Casino' there, but I'm under-aged. Oh wells!

Now, I shall return to packing. I've gotta wake up at 4am to get ready the stuff (namely food) for tomorrow's trip!

Loves,
Crystal

P.S. If there are any updates on either the SKY or J2 chalet, please tag my board! ;)
