it's June already?!

Time flies, it's been almost 2 months since we'd arrived on the island. which means that i have but 10 months left on my countdown clock. stressed. tick tick tick, as if i'm on death roll waiting for the final knell to sound.

We just got our keys to our apartment. the appliances are new but the general feeling of the place is a bit dark. prob due to the dark wood and mostly brown furnishing. looks a tad bit drab. hopefully we can jazz it up with our little touches.

our shipment has not arrived yet. despite being at sea for almost 3 months now. i think our things would have turned moldy by now. or maybe they've dropped into the ocean during the storm, and no one has bothered to find out and inform us about the loss. i'm getting desperate. we are supposed to move out the current place by sunday. and if the shipment is not here, and i dun suppose they will be coming this week, so i'm going to be left hanging without pots and pans, cutlery, dishes and cups. i think our last resort would be to purchase these things first, then try to sell them off later on when the shipment arrives.

our car insurance is still hanging. we are supposed to get some savings off our car insurance because hao-e had bought some with allstate in california. but stupid allstate hasn't faxed over the proof of that yet, so we can't get insurance, and hence cannot drive the car.

btw, our car needs a name. its a dark green hatchback daihatsu charade. very normal looking. but i insist it should have a proper name. any bright ideas pls put it in the little black/grey boxes on the left.

Jay Chou

Blasting Jay Chou into my ears with my broken ear-phones.. hee. I still love him so much! one of those singers whose songs cause my body to move and groove to the rhythm. just feel like dancing. my interest in mr chou waned though in recent months due to his new gf. i mean she's an improvement over jolin but i still think she's a bit ah... how shall i put it, not very nice. somehow i feel she's mean. not as guai and angelic as she looks. still have a soft spot for ppl who are nice. why can't ppl be nice? i'm trying to be nice. (my new mantra - " Be nice ") haha. i mean people who know me from before know i'm quite harsh and critical and unforgiving. so nice has got be a NEW mantra for me. Next thing you know, i'll be meditating in a nunnery atop a mountain with a thousand steps cut into it. every morning i'll be climbing down those steps to fetch a pail of water... and jack and i will fall down the hill with the pail and all... yikes,

Shujun's Birthday!!

Seems like yesterday when the new year 2005 started.. now it's May, and we've celebrated Beek's, Lihui's and Wanping's birthdays. Time seems to be passing too fast for birthdays for i refuse to admit that i'm older [again], yet it passes too slowly when i'm sad or down. Ah well, life isn't a box a chocolates. nor a piece of cake. it's full of cakes! birthday cakes especially. in 2 days, one of my best mates will be turning 24. it's been more than a decade, us knowing each other from sec sch days. haha! I just want you to know that you'll always going to be my lap cheong. my very cute friend who can sing "one night in Beijing" in both guy and gal's voices and break the record too! my ultra loyal friend who stuck by me all these years, listening to my whining and complaints. i have a lot of respect for ppl who can stand my nonsense, cos well, i'm not an easy person to like.. ask my buddies they'll tell you. [better still,

Some news...

I just learnt over the weekend that the last grand-uncle on my father's side had passed on. We weren't that close when he was alive, but i do recall him being a jolly old chap who was always ready with a smile... as far as grand-uncles go, he's the closest one we had. And of course he lived in malaysia which gave us a perfect excuse for a weekend trip up the causeway, far from the hustle and bustle of maniacal singapore. Another shocking piece of news i heard last week in fact was, me best pal's dad seems to be suffering from dementia. i hope he gets better soon cos i know everyone's worried and imagine the pressure on the family! after hearing that, i've been praying every night that my parents remain healthy and happy, especially during this period when i'm away from home. The 3rd piece of shock i had was that friend X and friend Y have gotten together. both of them are my college mates. BUT friend X was with friend A at that time, and friend Y was w
