I'm flying off today, (:

Thanks for the many happy memories that this blog has encapsulated;

and to all my readers, you're very much loved.

But before I end my very last post on this blog,

let me share with you what Mink&Moe stood for.

Many a times in my life, I appear to different people differently.

In school, I may seem like some overachiever, some nerd, crazy about entrepreneur club and all.

Outside, I appear to be a party animal who hardly gives a phelps about school.

And then there're the many grey areas between, and to some people I may be a mink,

others, a moe.

So, I started this blog, Mink&Moe, hoping that here's the place where everyone will see both sides of me. Hence, see the mink and moe of me.

But with time, as the number of drafts grow.

I realise that, I can never really truly be myself on a blog.

And I'm sure, I'm not the only blogger who feels this way too.

So, as with An Angelina, I'm moving away from this blog. (:

But I guess we never do really say goodbye.

At least for now.

With lots of love,

Angelina

then may i pronounce you the winner,

while i take my leave from this stage.

That said, (: exciting post coming up shorrrtly!

When I started this blog, I was prepared for judgments, I was prepared for (shallow) people to pass off comments about me when they don't even know me.

Whilst being prepared is one thing, tolerating them is another thing.

Who are we to judge others? Much less people whose shoes we haven't put ourselves into?

It's not as if this is affecting me, but it's just been surfacing in my thoughts. Especially the past few days.

So, let me make this clear.

Know me, or don't speak of me.

Hello future-soulmate, if you're reading this, kindly come into my life 3 months later, thank you! :D

shit you, a levels. haha.

Couldn't resist snapping a shot of this beautiful sunday afternoon;

NEW YORK NEW YORK

with Cornelius, Vindri and Stella :D

Cornee, Vindri and I used to study together for the o levels! (: (and end up eating somewhere, i swear, always the case! hhahhaa)

So we called ourselves "faith", don't ask. haha. :D

AND THEN, all 3 of us got into tjc by coincidence. AND THEN, cornee left for CHINA, and vindri left for CHICAGO. good job, people! leaving me here in singapore. hahaha. (:

Anyway, both of them happened to come back during their holidays so we decided to catch up over a smackin-fantastic dinnner at newyork newyork! Oh, and I made a new friend, Stella, who's vindri's church friend. :D (who's on holiday from studying in Canada) Okay, some international relations dinner. hahahhahaa.

PEEEKTURES(:

Cornee looks at the menu and looks at the giant meatball spaghetti item and goes "what if the meatball's really gigantic"

Me: "Just cut it then......... -.-"

yup, he did cut it in the end. HAHAHA. what the hell.

My lipsmacking penne alfredo with a half roasted chicken.

It's not sinful, dammit, it's called appreciating good food. (:

I'm going to miss you guys when you all fly off. :((

GOOD JOB corneee. love that smile. hahahhahaha.

He's going to kill me after seeing all these unglam photos posted up by me. HAHAHHAA. :D

Anyway, spent the whole dinner making fun of him and his china-tendencies and vindri and her new found american accent. It was DAMMMN funny. :D hahaha. everything cornnee said to soot us, i replied. "at least we're not from china".. HAHAHA. (:

Thanks you darlings, for the wonderful time. You guys are the reason that make me believe that friendships do and can last, beyond distances and time. (:

LOVE!

It's raining outside, won't you take my hand and spin me around whilst heaven's teardrops roll down our flushed cheeks;

The urti's back again, off to doctors, new lease of medicine.

but that doesn't mean I lose my optimism.

Congee + adherence to my doctor's prescriptions + tons of sleep

I'm going to be well, I have to be.

Ambition is dream with a v8 engine.

1. Good life starts only when you stop wanting a better one.
2. Sometimes, the truth is not good enough. And when that time comes, close your eyes for awhile, gather your heavy heart and walk away. There'd be good days when the pain doesn't come, but I'm not implying that there won't be days where all you want to do is curl up in a corner, waiting for someone to take you away, from the pain. But it'd get better, with time.
3. I'm still in shock that I finished today's physics mcq diagnostic test like 15 mins before? haha, then me and michelle started wondering why there's so many b's and c's; rather dubbious. :( oh bother, let's hope we do well. :D
4. I was sooo tired today finishing all the shitwork/studying last night, so when I staggered to the canteen to find redbull, alas! they don't sell it. darrrn. I want my vdkrebull. :( p, can we hurry up plan our weeekend?
5. Out of sight, out of mind.
6. Butter squid + phad thai doesn't go. HAHAHA.
7. You know how you like to push people around, snap at them, throw your weight around and think that people are still putting up with you? you are so wrong, babe. I don't know about you, but I believe in karma and you should too. I swear you're feeling the guilt and insecurities already; tsk.
8. Money isn't everything; but without money, you're nothing.
9. I take a different path from you, so please stop trying to mould me to fit into your strategies and whats not; I know what's good for me.
10. I just took a darn long nap today afternoon, and I'm already tired now. This is bad. (: Ah well, here's to more work toniggght. but SLEEEP EARLY. need them sleep. :D

loveee, novaseth.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAAADDEEE.
I swear you loook as gorgeous as you did when you were 18 years old in that army uniform looking like some korean superstar.. HAHAHA. i'm so going to scan that photo one day and gush about how charming you arreee. (: I hope you had a good time today, dee. :D I'm praying you never ever chance upon this blog, but if you do, let's hope this profession of love for you offsets whatever rubbish you found out about me through mink&moe. :D Just want to say that i love you with all my heart, and i've always admired you from a little girl till the semi-adult that I am now. I'm sorry for all the times I hurt you, but it was never in my intention to do so. I'm sorry for being the (primary) cause of the destruction of your (old and needs a replacement anyway! hahaa, and i bet you love that smacking new sexy gorgeous titanium phone you have now) phone. (details about incident not included) Thanks for all the times you shoved your work away just so i can lay in your arms to cry about (shitty) stuff, all the times you loved me unconditionally, and being the abso-handsome father that you aree. (: I swear I lovee you, and of course, marmee too :D and i guess people might not have guessed it. but you guys are the reason as to why i wanna go smu so much. (: I don't ever want to be caught in a situation whereby I've a choice to stay in a hostel for convenience sake and to avoid the long commute (which I hate). I know there'd come a day whereby I'd have to take flight from under your wings, but for now, all I need is to stay as close as I can to the 2 people I love the most. (:

PEEEEKTURES NOW. :D

Top of the M on Marmee's birthday (:

I just realised they are so colour co-ordinated, hahaa. TSK! people in love. haha

Like father, like daughter! hahaha. (:

SEEE! Even the whole checks top. (Cny 2008)

My 18th at J'aan at Swissotel;
(at this point, i finally conclude that my father is in love with checks. Either that, or he has no other clothes, HAHAHA!)

HAHA! I love my goooofy parents. :D
I bet you can't tell that they're past 50 yrs of age already. haha ((:
They're the reason I still believe in happy ever afters.

I love you both, from the bottom of my heart.

OKAY! Now, random musingggs. :D
1. P thinks its mad that my counter keeps increasing like nobody's business. Personally, I don't even keep track of my counter. And even so, I think it's attributed to people like her who keeps refreshing the page to load the tagboard or some other shit. :D hahaha.

2. I've seen a total of at least 60 (and still counting) toyata wish(es) on the road for the past 2 weeks. I'm perfectly fine with proliferation of certain cars on the road IF they're like good looking. :D (eg. sexy mazda3/6 in burgundy, red, black and cobaltblue. :D) but toyota wish(es) are number one: SUPER BULKY. number two: COMES IN THE MOST (i would say atrocious but that's too mean) out-of-this-world (literally, they should be out of this world:D, hahaha!) COLOURS. hahaha, (: the best thing? daddy agrees with me! HAHA.
p.s by this, i mean no ill intention to people who drive toyota wish(es). :D

3. It's sickening to live a double life. Because people will judge, form impressions and use them on you. (: Not as if it really bothers me, but there are just somethings in life which would be best kept a secret, at least for now. AND. I'm moving like really soon, once i find a nice nice lj skin. After which, I shouldn't be divulging my blog add. If you're one of my close friends, you should be able to find it. If not, hahaha, then, what you don't know won't kill you. :D And until now, I still discover new (extremely strange) readers of my blog, which.. is quite. hmm. hahah. okay, screw this point.

4. I've found my lofty dream (After an epiphany), as in seriously. And it's beyond SMU, and only one other person knows about it. (: I'm not divulging for now! but I'd probably spill in my livejournal. :D stay tune to that man, haha.

5. I love skyping with you, and doing weird para para dances with my moss-green facial mask on. UNTIL i find out you've been secretly snapping screenshots of me, together with all my cranko-ness. hahahhahaa. whathebang-la. watch out for our next skype, i swear, you're going dowwwwn baby!

6. I'm going to kiccck prelim's ass. Think saatchi&saatchi. :DDDD and i love michelle for all the motivation she's been providing me. (: (big kisses)

OKAY. I took like one and a half hours on this.
(: off to shower and worrrk for the night. :D

with loads of whipcreme,
NOVASETH. :D

PRE-WARNING:

1) If it's past midnight, and you're in a very starvacious mode and you would attack a cow and eat it now if you could, then please divert your attention to other blogs, at least for now! lest you hate mink&moe forever! :D (you'd understand why if you scroll down)

2) I'm horribly tired on a friday night (gasps! can you believe it?! what happened to tgif?) So if whatever i'm typing doesn't seem to cogent nor coherent, please pardon me. (:

OKAY. here comes a shitload of peektures! (:

So I was rummaging my fridge the other day, found loads of boxes of chocolates from chocolat world and every other chocolate gourmet; realised that friends of my family lovees to buy us chocolates, not knowing that we're not much of a chocolate fan club, hahaha. and YESS, that's why my friend just lovee coming to my house to ravage my fridge. (hello shaikha! haha)

So, I opened up this huge box of chocolates which was already opened. They were all soooo pretty that I just had to try one. and guess what? The moment i sank my teeth into one, dark chocolate and its hint of brandy oozed and i went straight up to haven. Dark chocolate and alcohol together, is pretty much love and sin all wrapped in one small little evil package!

haha (:

Couldn't resist just taking a photo of the heavenly filling;

yes.. heaven comes in 24 different little shapes, sizes, fillings and tastes;

The beautiful view outside the window just before sunset;

So, one evening, my parents went out for dinner at goodwood park hotel. I decided to ditch maggee mee and the horribly unhealthy food which i usually takeaway from the coffee shop behind, and channel the inner jamie oliver in me for the first time in a very long while. Whipped up some tuna & omelette and good ole mushroom soup!

p.s friends who know me should know i really do love having dinner parties, or just cooking hell lots and inviting people over for a good meal and awesome company. ;)

yes.. i do love cooking!

I always use butter, never oil. Butter's so much more fragrant, i swear. Season tuna with lots of ground black pepper!

I prefer homemade mushroom soups, esp the one from the Big Fish at Siglap. (: Don't get me wrong though, I do appreciate Mr Campbell. :D

I've this weird habit of putting pepper into my raw eggs before frying them. It's kind of like the action of seasoning your meat before frying them. (: I don't know about you guys, but I love doing this way, but of course, more pepper (ONLY GROUND black pepper) after it's cooking (:

The eggs were really really fluffy, soft, and full of flavour from the butter and the tuna. (:

Hello mushroom soup! :D

I love what daddy's contractor did to our kitchen, really pretty and all now. (: It has like lights over the frying area and the fan thingy to suck up all the smoke that would have gotten into your face. =O

So a good friend of mine happened to be passing by my street, so I invited him over to share the fruits (okay, not literally fruits in this case) of my labour! (: and after that, we started to talk about everything random and all. (:

Haha, and yes, he kept thanking me for helping him with some shots he needed.

HAHA! If you've seen my other photos, you'd realise that something about me's different! I swear it's just a small small difference, but it does make a difference after all! (:

oooo, played with my geeque specks once more :D

I love the black and white version better.

Have been watching The Hills recently on mtv.com! (: Am surprised at how it's almost a narration of my life at times. I'm pretty much a Lauren Conrad, but there's the Tiffany in me that's like this perfectionist and just strives so hard to get where she wants to in life. Heidi's the parrty girl in me, who loves events, parties and all, and the quiz i took (yes those twittty quizes :D which are rather fun, i must add) said I'm an Audrina. (: Can't see the Whitney in me though, besides the fact she's hell tall. haha.

From left: Lauren Conrad, Audrina, Whitney, Heidi Montag

And there's Jason, whom I thought was made for Lauren. But ever so true to reality, just when you keep thinking you must be living a fairy tale, you just get snapped out of it, and come to realise that it doesn't always mean "happily ever after" albeit it feeling so right.

Love the swimsuit if not for the horrible tan line that would result from;

(:SINGFEST tomorrow and sunday, while my parents are off in KL for a Chris Tomlin concert for the weekend. House party on saturday or something! :D (hello daddy and mummy, nope, you're not really seeing this.. haaha!)

(: 1 month and 8 days to prelims;

impossible is nothing.

work hard hard hard.

my urti is coming back though. shitdarnshitdarnshit.

:D have a wickkkked weekend sweethearts!

7:51 PM

just finished classes;

i'm exhausted physically.

yet i'm all pumped out to do well.

yup, pops has been sharing the fact that he feels i'm not working hard enough, with.. people.

I guess he doesn't understand currently, that sometimes, your achievements aren't solely based on that singular alphabet. Instead, it's the whole journey of self-betterment as a human that truly counts. BUT, this little bonanza doesn't dampen my spirits. It takes more than what other people think, their judgments and all; Simply because I believe in myself and what I do. And I call it a bonanza because it just fuels my fighting spirit in this race; Why take into consideration of other people's views on your life (note: how many years have they known you for? you're your friend for like (insert your age here) years, surely you have the clearest views) and let them screw up your confidence? Fight them, be strong, and seriously, there are some people in your life you can do without. I'm not asking you to walk away from these people, just don't make someone a priority when they only make you an option. ;)

6 weeks.

I've never been more ready to make this right.

"So what makes you stand out from the typical A level graduate?"

That Mr Lee Kong Chian, is the fact that I earned these grades, while having the time of my life.

(hell yea)

and i love you too, mister you-know-who. ;)

AND AND, i want my cheap oh-so-entertaining thrill tonight!!

OKAY. WORK WORK TONIGHT. (:

(kisses)

I've come to a realization that there're alot of "people" reading my blog.
HAHA.
Once I find a beautiful skin for my livejournal,
i'm moving ;)

I'm not giving details yet, but i had a whopping wiccckkkkeeed weekend;
(winks with an... all-knowing smile)

and SINGFESTTTT.
ARGHEGQEGEHQEGEGFQEHF.
I've the best girl in the world, dammit!
(restrains myself from screaming and drown myself in 42below)
so before i wham out nova seth for the weekend,
imma work my butts off for the next 5 days.
Play hard? This girl needs to study even harder. ;)
I'm on a high;
Okay, let me rush back to economics essssaaays and continue my mental orgasmic experience with international trade, hahahhaa.

.. i'm serious!
with big ass kisses,
novvaa seth. (:

p.s thanks for all the get well soon wishes, all the presents, cards and messages; you guys are the sweetest and you have no idea how much it touched me! :'( i'm much much better already after the change in medicine, all recharged for school and its (mumbles) exciting agendas! (: much love!

9:28 PM

I'd give anything in the world,

to remember this lesson.

The lesson that helped me truly understand,

that the richest ones in the world,

are not the ones who have the most;

but are in fact, the ones who need the least.

And right now,

all I need is my family, my lil sister and the close friends that i treasure with all my heart,

my health to come back to me, and happiness for everyone to a last a lifetime.

No amounts of quid, not even that darn sexy lamborghini gallardo spyder can make me anymore happier than I could ever be.

well, okay, maybe Christian Bale. (squeals)

And Lastly, my dear friends.

Always, always be yourselves.

For life's much too short to be anyone but yourself.

If you ever find a need to change yourself or be someone else apart from who you are,

just to fit in, just to make someone fall in love with you,

you'd never truly be happy.

Don't you want that someone to love you for who you really are?

Be clad in your fbts and haivanna's, liquideyeliner-less, untamed tresses and all.

And still be able to be in his arms, feeling all the love in the world,

knowing that he loves the one inside of you.

So, be happy my darlings!

p.s Just in case my darlin' friends are worried that i'm losing my appetite because they worry that I may have problems or something of that sort, hence the recent loss of weight. I'm truly alright, (: just too much congee/porridge these few days, haha, oh the cravings of a abso-delectable bowl of hot congee is enough to take my cold away albeit just for a little while. Tried the Atkin's diet? Now, try the CONGEEEEE diet! =) hahahaha.... kidding!

Have a lovely weekend. (:

(many kisses)

I've had about 6 drafts ever since my last posting. I've come to terms that although it is highly dependent on the blogger, a blog will always serve to be a facade. You keep things that you are afraid that you'd be judged on; You hence, put your best face forward. So, like how Saber (yes darling! it's Saber, not Sabre! haha) Tooth Bunny aptly put it, a blog is a mere act of aggrandizing one's self. So, this will be my last post (shortly after my attainment of an epiphany).

(imagines shocked expressions)

HAHAHAA. kidding! I love mink&moe too much. (: Like how countries have their ecological footprints, I want a place that records the little moments of my life. Keep a diary then, I hear you say. Well, I've always kept a mantra that as long as I keep making a difference in the world one person at a time, whether it's from my posts, my random musings, my laa dee dum, I've done my part on this gravitational sphere. So thee says share, share, share and spread thy love!

Anyway, (: I've been under the weather, rather horribly if I may add. Upper Respiratory Tract Infection, fever and warnings of a impending pneumonia; The rain isn't helping much, especially since i indulge in dancing in the rain, and apparently, the reluctance to see any more people donned in white coats restrains me to do as such. (: So, if I may retract myself from further digression (hahahaa! One of our favourite past times huh!), let me move on to describing my first day in school after 2 days of mc + 2 days of weekends. First 2 periods of Economics was alright, and once physics came, I swear all my wheezing, coughing, (snorting) was enough to scare the dalai lama away. (: Thanks for all the love everyone showed me though, it keeps me going strong so much much loves and many brownie points for everyone! (: So after physics, I was like... greattttt, Human Geog next and time for my presentation. By that time, my throat was so hoarse that any more clearing of the throat would render it a barren canal. (haha!) Guess what? It went more smoothly than I would have expected, although I'd like to apologize to my fellow geog mates for my voice which could have been accounted for as noise pollution! hahaha. After Geog, I swear that all I wanted to do was to catch some shuteye, I was so drowsy by then. Hence, the half day off!

I swear Pearlyn would be the reason for me turning bi, IF I ever go to the other side one day. hahaha, I'm sorry babe though, =( I want kidsss! hahaha, my own kids. (: I'm going to be a proud mama one day!

98 days 08 hours 30 minutes 04 seconds

keep the countdowns coming, for these numbers are the only wake up call that actually work on me. As Pearlyn like to proclaim, I'm going to be a lee kok kok scholar!! (I swear if Mr Lee Kong Chian sees this, I'm so dead = You're so dead)

By the way, that countdown, is to A levels, my fellow slaves of the education system! KEEP UP THE GOOOD WORK! (for the mugger toads) & START DOING WORK! (to everyone else)

Darren told me today, that you can give up everything except your studies for now; you go all out for this thing you call l**e and you end up being nothing. And although I begged to differ, believing in working things out, he made sense. He's my inspiration, and yes, I do miss you Mr Darren T'ng.

And if you, ever chanced upon this,

I'm truly sorry.

Here's to an early sleep without regards of homework or whatsoever. I need my health back! (: And to Ms Max (and all you mugger toads who disregard sleep), pleassseeee get some rest too! =D Don't end up like me. :(

Cogito, ergo sum - I think, therefore I am.

Top 10 Random musings;

1. Don't try to have a champagne lifestyle on a beer budget

2. Life isn't defined by the number of breaths you take, but the number of moments that took your breath away

3. Make it an ultimate must, with no way out - that's how you get to where you want to

4. Be thankful for the happy memories you've made, but when it's time to move on, don't be afraid to make new ones

5. I hate the fact that people generally take business courses only because they "don't know what else to take" - i don't hate those people, just hate how it shapes peoples' impression of business courses

6. I'm independent as much as I am dependent

7. Thanks to Daryl, I learnt that Mink&Moe is an alliteration!

8. There's more than it meets the eye, i swear.

9. I don't need a hellova party hoard of friends in my life, a few close ones make my day anytime

10. These random musings aren't arranged in order, they're random ;)

10:33 AM

Adapted from Tyki,

His notion on relationships and love strikes a deep chord within me.

Maybe you'd feel it too, after reading this.

"Every relationship has a cycle.

In the beginning, after falling in love with your partner/spouse, you anticipated their call, wanted their touch albeit their idiosyncrasies (unconventional behavior/habit).

Falling in love with your spouse wasn't hard. In fact, it was a completely natural and spontaneous experience. You didn't have to do anything. That's why it's called 'falling' in love... you just fall.

People in love sometimes say, 'I was swept off my feet.' Think about the imagery of that expression. It implies that you were just standing there; doing nothing, and then something came along and happened TO YOU.

Falling in love is easy. It's a passive and spontaneous experience. But after a few years of marriage, the euphoria (excitement) of love fades. It's the natural cycle of EVERY relationship. Slowly but surely, phone calls become a bother (if they come at all), touch is not always welcome (when it happens), and your spouse's idiosyncrasies, instead of being cute, drive you nuts.

The symptoms of this stage vary with every relationship, but if you think about your marriage, you will notice a dramatic difference between the initial stage when you were in love and a much duller or even angry subsequent stage.

At this point, you and/or your spouse might start asking, 'Did I marry the right person?' And as you and your spouse reflect on the euphoria of the love you once had, you may begin to desire that experience with someone else. This is when marriages breaks down. People blame their spouse for their unhappiness and look outside their marriage for fulfillment.

Extramarital fulfillment comes in all shapes and sizes. Infidelity is the most obvious. But sometimes people turn to work, a hobby, a friendship, excessive TV, or abusive substances.

But the answer to this dilemma does NOT lie outside your marriage. It lies within it. I'm not saying that you couldn't fall in love with someone else.
You could.

And TEMPORARILY you'd feel better. But you'd be in the same situation a few years later. Because (listen carefully to this):

THE KEY TO SUCCEEDING IN MARRIAGE IS NOT IN FINDING THE RIGHT PERSON; IT'S IN LEARNING TO LOVE THE PERSON YOU FOUND.

SUSTAINING love is not a passive or spontaneous experience. It'll NEVER just happen to you. You can't 'find' LASTING love. You have to 'make' it day in and day out. That's why we have the expression 'the labor of love.' Because it takes time, effort, and energy. And most importantly, it takes WISDOM. You have to know WHAT TO DO to make your marriage work.

Make no mistake about it. Love is NOT a mystery. There are specific things you can do (with or without your spouse) to succeed with your marriage.

Just as there are physical laws of the universe (such as gravity), there are also laws for relationships. Just as the right diet and exercise program makes you physically stronger, certain habits in your relationship WILL make your marriage stronger. It's a direct cause and effect. If you know and apply the laws, the results are predictable... you can 'make' love.

Love in marriage is indeed a 'decision'... Not just a feeling.

Remember this always"

Thanks tyki, the world, or at the very least, I, do need a down to earth take on what essentially is the closest thing we have to magic - love.

Got back my results for jcts today, and i passed everything!! =) I didn't even get an S! (big achievement considering the effort i actually put in for this round of exams) My best subject's General Paper, which although, i should feel happy for, but all i do feel (unfortunately) is that it may be a big fat fluke. i mean, from essays that flutuated around high 10's to low 20's, to 30's (upon 50). =O Yea, i'm surprised myself too. Ah well, it might be due to the opportunity to turn my gp essay into one comprising of many economics elements! HAHAA. Next subject was Economics. =)) Though i think that i could have done much much better.

Anyway,

i neeeed to run now cause it's tgif!!!! =DDDDDDD

before, my weekend starts and end in less than a couple of hours and the to do list calls out to me for some attention.

(insert unhappy face here)

(: love, novaaa seth.

hey daddy, happy youth day to me! can i have a new router? =D

RAHHRAHRHARHAHRAHRHRA.

my router spoilt, so i can't access my wireless at home.

(inserts many many unhappy faces here)

and because of this techo-glitch,

the jct gp essay question on how technology handicaps more than it helps keeps surfacing in my train of thoughts. haha.

so, without the beloved internet,

i started looking around for a new distraction,

SIMS 2 on my mommy's phone!

hahhaa, (:

it's darn waste of time, i'd just lie on my bed for like 3 hours and play non stop.

get soooo bored watching her take half an hour (in sims time, that is) to walk to the toilet.

fall asleep and wake up to play more sims.

great, my life is UBER productive WITHOUT the internet. =O

so i thought i'd rather play sims on the comp which has more applications and all,

so i inserted the (pirated) cd into my desktop (cause mac's being an ass and not accepting it again)

AND, the final bit of the setup asked me to insert the serial number at the back of the cd.

and i realised, mommy threw away the original (fake) cd cover with the (fake, but still usable) serial number.

(insert many many unhappy faces here)

and no prizes for guessing,

i was back on my bed playing. ****2 on the phone again.

HAHAHHA.

great, i've a life!

ANYWAY, just before you think my router's back in motion since, well, i'm blogging right?

you're WRONG.

I literally took a bus all the way to the library to tap on the (i swear, super fast) wireless@sg available there. there's this macair user not too far away from me..

and he's kind of .. cute! =) haha, okay okayyy, back to talking about my (great) life!

anyway, if you dont see me online or blogging for the next few days (no, i'm not going to say WEEKS, it's taboo. wait, oh shit, i just did !!)

just drop me a msg, but since my phone's cranky too,

you can call my hp, (:

that's if i'm not playing sims2, during which i shut off the whole world, HAHA, kidding. (:

mom's at work = sims2's at work= cant play sims2 = left with shitloads of work to do! =D

Anyway, (: moving on to fill you in on what i've been busy with!

Dempsey's the new zouk, yo!

no, i'm not being a twit, it's the new group in facebook i just joined after i lost my dempsey-virginity last friday with p is for pearlyn! (: took a bus from town and trudged up dempsey hill, didn't know we were going up the WRONG hill, so ended up at muthu's curry, HAHAA (:

okay, no, i'm not being a frigging racist. =D

So after going here and there, we found our paradise! Started off at ps cafe, which i swear was gorgeous!

Ended up at Hacienda cause being the music-junkie, i just went to where the music lured. Awesome dj doing his stuff. (: Had an arnold palmer, which was like 0.0000000121212% vodka and the rest was like iced lemon tea. HAHHA, i bet it was like seasons la, and i was like.. bahh, asked the girl if she could help me ask the bartender to make it stronger, and after which, it kind of was better, i think. P had ..... ribena and sparkling water. shit bag lor, asked if we should have shooters, then p was like, nooooooooo, dont want. =( so i'm left with iced lemon tea, and her, ribena! hahaha. =D wthwthwthwth, we're going to conquer the whole of dempsey one bar at a time, HOUSE next! =) bye bye friday evenings!

Totally had this long post i wanted to write on saturday night, alas! the internet broke down, and i'm too hungry to sit here and type out everything, so yeah, hopefully when my router's back in action, i'd type it out, along with the shitloads of posts i owe!!! =)

btw, p, it's..

Alcohol is the anesthesia by which we endure the operation of life. (:
