Farewell Sentosa

December 30, 2002 Bitchings Comments

My bestfriend wanted to go to the countdown party and it is indeed good that she seems to be planning something for US finally, that’s a first in a long while. Now she decided to screw things up again by telling us she can’t get the tickets from her friend because she’s afriad the guy might think she likes him (wtf). I don’t blame her cuz we can always get the tickets ourselves, but she implied that she doesn’t feel like going anymore and told me she has to go her cousin house that day. She knew we’ve got class gathering that day and she promised she’ll meet us.

I was already pissed at her for not turning up on Christmas Eve because she was with her boyfriend. Oh no, we didn’t do the cruel thing of separating them, which is impossible, but that’s not the point. We said she could bring him along. That doesn’t satisfy her though, hell no.

Our Christmas Eve rock nevertheles. She missed it, boo her.

I was anticipating the countdown. Now I’m not. Why does she have this huge tendency to try ruining everything? My birthday, Christmas day and now, New Year’s eve. Scored a perfect hat trick didn’t she. Everyone please applause.

Countdown Party

December 28, 2002 General Comments

I’m going to Sentosa. I think it’s going to be crowded and too many people usually spoils the fun. Yes, although the more the merrier, there is a limit to everything.
There will be a foam party, I haven’t been to any foam parties. It’ll be fun I suppose. Muahaha…so who else is going? Bugs Gerbera and Eliza. :P

Ok nothing else to update except that my sims are rich again and this time prettier too.

Merry Christmas to my Dead Sims.

December 20, 2002 Joy Comments

I killed all my sims. Yes, I did. I made them jump into a pool that has no ladder, eventually drowning them. And now, I mourn over the loss of my beautiful house. I’m getting bored anyway, playing alone. I’m planning to get my sister to build her own family too. At the meantime, I’m going to stock up pretty skins so that my sims will be hip and trendy and will not be so obiang wearing the ugly clothes they have there.
Some furnishings are nice but the game designers should really seek some advice from clothes designers. Oh and while they’re at it, do something about those hairstyles too. Or was early 90s really that gross?

Year end festivals are coming. I love this time of the year. We had a little christmas party in the office the day I last posted. The games was really fun and I nearly burst from laughing. We had turkey too and I took a nice picture of it. I’ve got so many pictures stored up in my camera, I starting to wonder if I’m ever going to upload anything.

I see some movement in Gerbera‘s ps.net account. Yay!

Anyway, I wish everyone a Merry Christmas, I don’t know if I’m logging in before Christmas because I’ve got loads of stuffs to do.

- Rebuild my sims. hahaha
- Make a new layout
- Buy presents, recycle presents (shh…but hey, one man’s poison, another man’s food).
- TIFFIETAUFOOFAR! I COMPLETELY forgot about christmas cards. Ack!

eh, actually not much things to do. Oh ya, plus rebonding and meeting up with people.

- Secondary school class gathering (either christmas eve or new year’s eve).
- Girlfriends (Christmas eve).
- JC class gathering (next saturday..proposed, but not comfirmed).
- PEI (TOMORROW!).
- Joelle because she’s supposed to …. (tonight).
- Clubbing at Devils bar with uncategorised friend (tonight). But I think I’m not going though because I’ll probably be half dead by eight, Tom doesn’t want me going clubbing without him, the place sucks and you shouldn’t be going anywhere even remotely connected to the devil when christmas is less then a week away. Haha, I know its pointless to bring that in since I know I’m not going, I’m just adding that to spice up my social life, prove that I get invites often. ;)
- *edits* Oh, another bunch of people clubbing at dbl o tonight. Not going too (see above reasons). I am starting to feel anti-social.
- My bestfriend propose to ride up to KL in her boyfriend’s car sometime next week. But first, she has to ask him. It means I could have a chance of meeting Tiffie. But I’m really not sure if I’m able to squeeze time for that. Besides, it seems weird to be away from Singapore during in the Christmas season.
- Boyfriend <3 - Family <3
- Others…work. wtf.

Well, I shouldn’t complaining when I don’t have to do things like go to the church, singing christmas carols, doing charity, putting up the mistletoes..etc. I really don’t mind them though (esp the last one hur hur).

Have a merry merry X-mas!

Self Improvements

December 18, 2002 Blurbs Comments

I thought of killing pixelstars.net for a new domain name sometime ago because I thought it sounds teenybobbish. Maybe turning twenty does have more indiscernible psychological effects then just being a year older. We’ll see, I’d probably go register a new name since it wouldn’t cost too much to do that. I’d think of a name which wouldn’t give people the impression that it belongs to some girly teenybopper. I think teenybobbish is a bad thing really but pixelstars will be extended anyhoo because I love it. Besides This will be moving in soon. hur hur

I want improve on my webdesigning but I haven’t been doing anything about it lately. I dream of doing webdesigning as a profession but I’ve been slacking and besides, I’m not doing a related degree. Information communication management is the the closest thing to webdesigning in my faculty. I should have gone into computing? But I think I would have died there before leaving school. I hope getting a new name would inspires me. Ack lame excuse… aiya, I just want a new name la.

I don’t think any of you guys would know about the new name because I want to start all over again, as someone nobody knows, with no friends or anything. That part is always exciting. I don’t want to care about hits or anything, just want to focus on webdesigning. Big talk, but talk is cheap.

Have to do something about my lifestyle too.
- Have to start using moisturiser. My skin is dry because I shower in HOT water. I recently found pleasure in steaming up the whole bathroom to a point where peeping toms (haha) would be quite disappointed. As a result, really dry skin.
- Drink more water, eat fruits and vegetables. I really need to detox.
- Stop playing sims until wee hours in the morning.
- Stop snooping around the fridge and thinking of food all the time.

Hey, I read that if you eat while worrying about getting fat, you would. Psychological effects. Perhaps the same argument about period coming late if you are worried about getting pregnant. *shrugs* You gauge yourself.

Amazing cookies and the Sims

December 16, 2002 General Comments

I said I would upload pictures didn’t I? Haha…hmm..
I was going to join the daily grind but after a while, I just lost the mood to log pictures when I somehow forgot to snap my wonderful wonderful dinner. Well, that day was a BAD day for me anyway although I don’t think they could tell. We met up to bake cookies for Eliza on saturday. The process of cookie baking was really fun nevertheles. The cookies are tasty although it doesn’t look anything like the picture on its recipe page. I’m not even posting the page lest Eliza saws the pic and scowl at her remaining cookies.

By the way, thanks Moochs for the chocolate. How very sweet. :)

The amazing race: *cries* Derek and Drew got eliminated. I wasn’t attracted to them in anyway until I watch the show and is surprised at how nice they both are. I don’t care who wins now, the rest are sucky. If I’m going to make a choice, I want Zach to win, Zach only.

I’m so hooked to the sims and I haven’t even start on the extensions yet. Ahh, I was playing sims all Sunday. Morning to night. My girlfriends and I always talk about staying together when we’ve all got same cash and stable jobs. We’re going to rent a Condo or something. So I made a family of four girls. At first it was pure pandemonium, now it is quite alright; but I’ve got this piece of junk which found permanent residence on floor at the middle of my living room, and yes, with flies and everything. Any idea how to get rid of it?

*edits* Ok, I found out that its a bug and have to either use the patches or or install something. I’m going to find the crack reverie was talking about too.

Last Weekend

December 10, 2002 General Comments

I took lot of pictures taken over the weekend but I can’t upload it just yet because I’m in the office. Pictures later… but here’s a summary of my weekend.

Friday: Its a public holiday, Hari Raya. I went to Ikea with my family just to eat the swedish meatballs and smoked salmon. Then visited a temple in joo chiat with my grandma, aunts and cousins. Did a bit of shopping before heading home dead tired.

Saturday: Watched a good number of season eight’s episodes of ‘Friends’ in the afternoon. I was later disgusted at myself when I squealed at the mere sight of Brad Pitt. I swear I’m not that attracted to him, but it just seems like the natural thing to do.
Saturday night was spent clubbing with my JC classmates at Madam Wongs 2. The place was pathetically empty initially but the crowd gradually filled the place up. It was fun at some point. I didn’t took any pictures then, but there are some pre clubbing ones which were ‘artistically’ taken.

Sunday: I went to Johore Bahru with a couple of friends and Tom. It was fun mainly cuz it isn’t orchard road or suntec city. The reason why we went there is to visit a hair salon owned by my friend’s boyfriend. There’s a makeover studio just above it and Xinying and her boyfriend were having their make-over done that day. I’m just there to kpo.

I’ll add the pictures sooner or later. I don’t think I’ll be logging in later tonight cuz I’m going to be sick. I can feel it coming.

plug: Beautiful

More random stuffs.

- Panda is finally nineteen, yep…only nineteen.
Wish you had an amazing birthday. :P No I didn’t buy you one year supply of tampons but that’ll be cool though.

- Gerbera is takened and she had the cheek to lie to me. Ok she didn’t actually told a lie but she said something with the intention to bamboozle me. *cries*

- The amazing race crew actually came to Chua Chu Kang. A few blocks away from my house. It’s funny the way that woman exclaimed to the twins how far the Zoo is, in thick Singaporean accent. Anyway, I think Singapore is making too much hype over the stopover at Singapore. They stopped over twice in Hong Kong and I bet they don’t even care.

- I think the layout is done for now. The right is looking a bit too plain for my liking, I’d probably think of more stuffs to add. I chose the colours based on the blinkie Reverie gave me (under flying hamster) but I tone down the colours a bit because the original colors are too strong for a layout of this fairies theme nature. Anyway…there’s a fairy that reverie used for a past layout of her. Spotted it?

- Watched the Ghost Ship. I’m traumatised by its opening. I’m a fan of horror flicks, even cheap ones, but this is just sick. The amount of blood and gore is completely over the top and leaves you feeling disgusted rather than scared. What is wrong with the writer? Poe seems tame next to him. Some parts are supposed to be cut away for a NC-16 rating. There are worse scenes!?

Updates

- Have been working in hewlett packard for a week already. Busy as a bee except for now because the system is currently down. I did eleven OT hours this past week, feeling rather rich. $_$

- My Dad bought me a digicam. Call it a post-birthday or pre-christmas gift. It doesn’t matter, the important thing is that I’ve got a digicam! I’m not that excited about it initially and my Dad thinks I’m hard to please but I’m starting to love it. It’s a fujifilm finepix A203. My new baby.

- I’m going to buy a nokia 7210. It’s only the matter of time. Someone <3 offered to buy it for me but nah I think it is too expensive a gift. I'll buy it with my pay.

- While my family and I went to look for the digicam, This guy from Questmodels came up and ask my mum (yes my mum) whether I would like to be a model. The site is kinda cheesy but that guy is cute, in real life. Here, he looks like some immature model acting sexy. Anyway, of cuz I’m curious… if not I wouldn’t bother looking at the site. But I’m not taking the offer cuz I don’t think I’m cut to be a model. You need to have the x-factor that makes you stand out from the crowd, I don’t have it. One of my guy friend commented that my “pattern” is so “everywhere” and he’s right.

- My bestfriend is going to be a SIA stewardess. w00t! She completed the interviews and is going for medical check-up today. She’s still thinking but would most probably take the job. She promised to buy me keychains :P , I collect them.

- I got Eliza her gift but is embarrassed to pass it to her. Hehe.. She’ll know why when she sees it.

- Aiya, I missed Daynah’s birthday. Happy Belated Birthday! *snuggles*
