bahh.... *sneeze*... *cough*...

yq was right... i am so weak!!! always falling sick... my body immunity system is frigging low... still remember when i was in sec 4, from the month of january all the way to june, i had fever every month... yupz... that makes it 6 times in 6 mths... but it was interesting because i nv took a single mc during that 6 mths... i fell sick on cny (jan)... during wkends (feb)... sports day (mar)... wkends(april)... public hols (may)... sch hols (june)... hahahahaha... incredible me...

but hey... i got my own gd immune system k... hmph... only a small percentage of singaporeans like me... don't need to take the BCG injections (both at pri 6 and sec 4)... argh... but why am i always falling sick... even jie last night also told me "hey, you eat more healthily than me, you exercise more than me... but why u always fall sick more than me also?!?!!?!".... BEATZ ME!!!

supposed to have a biz meeting today... but i can't go cos i'm sick... heard attendance is not too gd either... maybe they'll cancel it... argh, whatever... i'm too ill to be bothered... *bahhh*

oh... received news recently that nus business school and law school is moving to the bukit timah campus... which is a.k.a. the old smu campus... but... but... but... this means i won't get to stay in hall anymore? what would become of my uni life? how about cross faculty modules? what about my interest in minoring technopreneurship? ahhhhh... this cannot happen!!! daniel is right, i must clear the techno minor modules in 2 sems... hopefully we won't move too soon... maybe i should just take all my GEMs in the following 2 sems... so when the time comes to move to BTC... i won't have the need to travel to and fro BTC and NUS...

ahhhhhhhhh!!! then my hall friends how? my waking-up-at-9.45am-when-lessons-is-at-10am... how??? my plans for SEP how??? oh no!!!!!! and in the first place... i'm not so gum with my biz frens as much as with my hall friends... what becomes of me then? a to-be-loner???

the thought is daunting... absolutely... *brr*...

BIG Walk, BIG Eat... yes, that was the theme for the day...

ha, today is the newpaper annual big walk event. pa drove me n bain down to golden mile complex n we continued to the finishing line from there... yes, big cheats we are indeed... but.. no... me and bain really went on a big walk trail... but is our own trail... and to make it fun, we incorporated the shi zi lu kou game... lol

we started off at national stadium... crossed the nice bridge over to pebble bay... walked around costa rhu to find out there's no bridge across the waters... climbed an ulu-nated stairs up to the benjamin sheares bridge... walked part of the highway (there's a pedestrian path)... down to opp suntec but we somehow had to make a big detour to cross over that uncrossable road... reached suntec... drank our first item of the game, Soya bean milK at the food court.... then went to congress to eat Kaya toasT.... den we walked on further to bugis to eat Thai Pra Prik (some tau hu with sweet and spicy thai sauce)... at that thai restaurant, we had mango glutinous rice and chendol as well... then went to waterloo street to visit the temple... and the end pt of the shi zi lu kou was supposed to be this yam cake (orh kueh) near the temple which bain claimed was nice... much to our disappointment, no more orh kuehs left!!! so... yes.. labelled "FAILED MISSION"... hahaha... den we walked from waterloo street to plaza singapura where we took the train home... trust me... it's definitely more than 10km... we started at 10.21am... and reached ps at 2.53pm... and we hardly sat down for long while eating...

but i got a conclusion.... IT WAS FUN... should do it again... but not so soon... lol...

oh and for the past 2 days... i worked as a promoter for segway... pretty fun... just ride the segway arn biopolis at buona vista... all the way to holland v... stopover to let interested parties try... hee... oh and yday, we saw the mediacorp crew filming a show... and tay ping hui was there... hahahahaa in de end, me gary and weilong became extras in the show (on our segways!)... we were told by the director to ride down the gentle slope while tay ping hui will walk up... hahaha... so funny... even took photos with them... just that michelle hasn't sent me the pics yet... yupz... interesting yah... paid to play with segway... and be and extra in a i-dunno-what-show... *LOL*

bahhhhh... i shall stop my relentless rattling of my fat formulae... it doesn't help me cut down on food intake despite typing them out and attempting to scare myself off... haa....

anyway, sth more interesting happened today... just found out a while ago how thrifty my family is... lol... was bathing then... wanted to use the facial foam... as i reached for the tube n took it down... i realised i only took half of it down... yes... i really mean half of it... someone has cut the tube of facial foam into halves and has scraped the oh-so-little facial foam off from the walls of the tube... haa... what was in my hand... was truly an empty half of the facial foam tube... it was cleaned inside out... lol... felt so... amused... yes, amused is the word....

haaa... i love my family... the weirdest funniest n most amusing things always happen here... the lee family... yes... (but my surname is li... only my dad is lee... don't ask me why... until now i still can't figure out... see... amusing!!)

"In 1990, there were 53 million dieters in the United States who spent an estimated $33 billion on weight loss programs. One survey found 62% of adults are dieting and 18% are constantly on a diet." ---(Adapted from "Weight Loss: Fact or Fiction")

ha.... i should write a book on "Weight Gain: That's a fact"... lol... and honestly... for those skinny ones out there, weight gain is just an expensive procedure as weight loss... lemme start with my weight gain formulae... only came up with 2 so far... will continue when i think of more...

1. Eat your sugar donut with 2 scoops of blueberry cheesecake ice-cream for tea-time.
2. After dinner, eat some pork floss crackers, followed by a slice of Chocolate Royale Mousse Cake from Lavendar (in jb)

ha... these formulae... are tried and tested... proven effective... definite weight gains for those skinny thinny peeps... trust me... it works... not tested on mice but on real human beings (me, that is)

ala-ala-along...

hongyi is a happy girl... after coming back from bangkok last wkend... yday i went JB with my family... mainly is to celebrate ma's bday la... had bbq stingray, sotong, oysters etc for dinner.. and tom yam, thai chicken, sweet n sour fish, etc for lunch... went giant to shop for groceries... ha... usual thing my family would do in jb... bought ma's Chocolate Royale Cake from Lavender in jb too... looks way nice... but way fattening... and today, pa brought me and jie to eat turtle's soup at macpherson there... absolut delicious... ha...

yah, now comes the sad part...

hongyi is a sad girl... after eating all that crap... i'm really putting on quite a lot of weight... i can feel my tummy bloating up... all fats inside.. blubber... yucks... permanently a tummy there le... so ugly... pui... and the WORST of the WORST has just happened to me... i went to rebond and cut my hair at far east... biggest of the biggest regret... the fateful incident happened at the salon right in front of the escalator on the fifth floor... the so called senior hairstylist did my hair... and made hell out of it... i hate my hairstyle now.. absolutely hate it... but there's nothing i can do abt it... she's made the most horrendous irreversible hairstyle i ever had... so... UGLY... i am so UGLY... freaking UGLY... luckily sch only reopens in 3 mths' time... but the issue is, hongyi is a bz person who often has to meet up with sch peeps... and yah... biz mc gonna have an outing this wed... ahhhh... how am i to face the world with my horrendous hair cut... and rebond that doesn't look like it's rebonded... DRY AND FRIZZY... UGLY HAIR THAT is totally opposite of what she has convinced me before... i suddenly love my neighbourhood hair salons.. cheap and good... and convincing... oh, forgot to mention, the hairstylist that cut my sis' hair... kept dropping the scissors while interchanging it with a comb... so UNPRO... pui.. and of cos.. her haircut ain't good either... my family didn't notice that she cut her hair... HA... but at least that's better than having a horrendous outcome...

SIGHS...

to end off this entry...

hongyi is a very sad and ugly girl... boohoohoo...

for the today and yday... hongyi has been a happy girl... WHEEEEEEE!!!

last night went to watch "House of Wax" with ch at lido... quite happy to meet up with him... haha... kinda lost touch after sports camp... when the semester-load of work sets in... blah n blah... ha, he's still quite crappy as usual... and just now leh... met up with normy to makan at kovan... also haven't seen him in quite a while... haaaaa but so paiseh... everytime meet up with him sure sth cork up... told him to go s11 since it's 24-hr... in de end he reach there then the place closed for renovation... made him walk all de way to kovan mrt instead... which ain't a short walk... LOL... felt quite bad... and he still had to walk me home... which is like... oh well.. kinda DAMN FAR la... poor guy... haaaaa.... always got suay things happen when he meets up with me... LOL... i jinxed him! haaaaaa....

yup, watched the dolphin show just now (recorded it with my tv tuner... ha thank god jie bought it!!)... then a thought came across my mind when they showed one of the characters just knew she had leukemia... then she tio stun... and started crying... and that moment... i tried to picture myself in her position... what would actually come across my mind if i hear such a disastrous news that i only have less than 6 mths to live.... "heaven is unfair?", "why is it me?", "what will my parents say?", "how would life be from now till 6 mths later?", "any loved ones? ha"... yah... i dunno... what would actually be the first thought to come across your mind when u know u're about to die?? hmm.. interesting thing to ponder... maybe we should ponder now so we can save time pondering when the time comes yah? CHOI.. touch wood of cos...

LOL... hongyi is still a happy girl no doubt...

i'm finally back from bangkok!!! thank goodness the sky didn't exactly rain on me. the only time i felt rain was at chatuchak... but there was reasonable shelter and the rain was just a little more than drizzling and stopped after a while... in fact, the short drizzle was gd cos it made the oh-so-warm weather slightly cooler... hmm, i can only summarise my bangkok trip as... EAT SHOP EAT EAT SHOP SHOP EAT EAT EAT SHOP SHOP SHOP... and ending each day off with a foot reflexology or full body massage... food was gd... really... can clearly remember the BAKED PRAWNS... ahhhh niceeeee..... so big u wouldn't think they're prawns in de first place... lol... and the hot plate orh lua was superb too... big n juicy unlike spore's one... haha... and their sashimi is fresh and cheap too... hahaha... i like their mister donut too! so many different flavours... and their special flower-shaped donut has a special texture too... haaaa... oh oh oh, and we ate the sizzler salad buffet for just S$5... plus a small steak + baked potato + bread toast + veg = extra S$1.20... can u imagine?! hahaha ate until so full that i din bother finishing the steak! well, enough of food... the rest was shopping... went chatuchak, MBK, pratunam, central world plaza, yaowarat aka chinatown... etc etc... didn't buy as much as i thought i would ba... ha... anyway... 7 group travelling i must admit is abit too big... although there really are certain benefits... like buying in bulk and get bulk discounts... and eating at restaurants can order a wider variety of food... blahhh...

ok... enough of that... i gg out with ch today for movie... hahaha so weird... first time i go out with a hall fren to catch a movie... some more i didn't talk to him much after sports camp although we both stayed in kr for the past 2 sems... the last attempt to catch a movie with charlie and yq... was a failure.. haaaa... alright... hope the movie is gd... shall take a nap first before gg out later!

let me relate the story of Hongyi and the Little Garden...

hahaha... freakkkkkk... started yday like that... i was all set on a journey to get some small potted plants to put inside the small fence to make a small garden for ma... yes... so i walk walk walk... to the whole long row of florists beside heartland mall... literally went in to every one of them and checked out the smallest pots... what i've got? cactuses only... haa... which ain't v nice i feel, to put inside the garden as a gift... initial idea was, oh, maybe can buy 3 different coloured cactuses... representing me, jie and mei... but thinking further, ha, so funny... cactuses... somehow gives me the feeling that it'll make us seem like rebellious kids (although i don't deny i once was... HA)... so.......... i went on to look at other flowers... then i spotted this pot of bright coloured flowers... really quite pretty... but as everyone noes, my knowledge in flowers is almost absolute zero... i only know what's a rose, sunflower and cactus... can nv differentiate the rest... so i got the shopkeeper to tell me its name... and asked if it's suitable for mother's day present... he said yah yah yah... it's gd... but the pot was TOO BIG for my garden... so i thought of cutting out the flowers and placing it in a smaller pot... BUT... felt abit insecure, without its roots, can the flowers still survive? hahahaha... in the end the shopkeeper said, "eh i got new flowers, just came in only... come i show u"... ta duh... and i bought it... (see below... the red/purple UNKNOWN-name flowers)...

but sth was wrong... the potted flowers, although are pretty... but cannot fit into my little garden.... THEN HOW? hahaha stupid hongyi... spent quite some time decorating the fence... and the signboard... bahhhh... ok... after quite some serious thoughts... i decided to make 2 separate presents... one for mother's day (08/05) one for her bday (16/05)... might as well la... hahaha... and ta duh!!! finally finished my little garden masterpiece... rushed out yday so i can give her today before i fly to bkk... not bad la i think... hiakz...

talking abt bkk... i'm SO EXCITED!!!!!!! flying in a few hours' time... ha... PLS DUN RAIN ON ME... PLSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS..... yah, just hope to have fun with the other 6 crazy girls! hahaha

i finally finished my exams... but honestly, the feeling is about the same... not extremely more exhilarated than before... maybe that's cos i was in a holiday mood even before my last paper ended... haha... overall i feel that i did better this sem... so hopefully i can see some improvements in my grades bah....

yday din really go out have fun after my paper... spent the bulk of the day cleaning my hall rm inside out... and i went imm... to buy some stuffs... with the intention of making something nice for ma's mother's day present... in the end, i bought this small wooden fence with a wooden base... and a wooden board with a house shaped border... my idea was to make it into a little garden with nice flowers... and i'd write happy mother's day (in chi) on the board and stick the board in the middle of the flowers... yupz.. everything was done last night... i even used twigs to form the word "MUM" and glued to the fence... only issue is... i haven't gotten the flowers... dunno what flowers to put... ma is quite a particular "gardener".. ha, i told mei abt it.. she ask me go pluck some flowers fr my garden and put it inside... if ma ever noes, she'll kill me for sure.. LOL... maybe i'll look arn for what i can put inside the garden tmr bah...

just now went out to meet my bangkok gang... had dinner at marina sq... den went to discuss abt the trip at citylink pacific coffee... the couch there is undeniably comfy... lol... i briefed them abt the things to bring, itinerary etc... gd that they sound pretty interested... den 2 jh's, yv and bain left... while me and sh and zj went for supper... talk kok alot... it's nice to catch up with my frens... ha, and zj just got attached recently... haa, my frens one by one leaving my singles' club le... whyyyyy... am i the only one left! lol... had a great time talking though.. hee...

oh, and i did sth stupid again.. while walking home fr the mrt... i saw a cat... it stared at me.. so i meowed back.. and it meowed at me... and i "replied" again.. then it followed me... hahahaha so funny... heng it was late at night the street is pretty remote... otherwise people will think i'm crazy... meowing to a cat... but ha, this ain't the first time... meowed to cats many times le... but only got once got "caught"... by a construction worker... ha, he stared at me with a funny expression la... LOL.. so paiseh that i quickly walked away... *MEOW* lol...

"this, too, will pass..."

this was what larry choi taught us in vj... found it very useful, especially when i'm feeling down and out... this... i'll tell myself... will pass too... look back on those days, you thought was the end of the world... and was the saddest moment ever... but look back at it... it's long gone... it's long over...

hmm, well, but on the other hand, this phrase seems to be like an excuse to escape too... if i always tell myself "this, too, will pass..." whenever i feel down and out because i think i'm not living the life i want to pursue, then, i guess even after i feel better about myself... i still won't be able to pursue and achieve the goal i want...

i guess... life is truly about opportunities... but how do i grab mine? why are there such successful people out there? how did they create and treasure their opportunities? how come i didn't???

I'm not exactly wallowing in self-pity... just feeling lost like a little girl in a big jungle... don't know what to do... don't know who to ask... and maybe, don't have to courage to do... don't have the courage to ask...

maybe yq and charlie are right in always saying i'm childish...

behaving like a little girl... maybe that's a shield for me... an excuse from being bold about myself... an excuse from living the way i really want... an excuse from reality...

maybe... i'm really the shallow one... with shallow thoughts and shallow actions... utterly no substance... *yucks*... disgusted...

stumbled upon a guy's blog... read a few entries... he's a keen marketer... attended seminars... has his own co.... blah and blah... and he's only 23... and i got linked to another guy's blog... has a lot of theories on marketing... has a lot of quotes by famous businessmen... hmm... well... i don't know... but i just feel so helpless... like a failure... don't know where to start... don't know when to start... no ideas... no practicality... no nothing...

i'm at step 0 of achieving my goals... i wanna be an entrepreneur... but take a look at me... i'm a total flop... nowhere near... absolutely nowhere near...

it's like... i only know how to talk... but i don't know what to do and how to do... this is bad... i feel terrible...

LOL... just like what jie said "papa and mama sure come back tonight one la... dun tink they can stand the uncosiness of sleeping in a tent"... haaa... bingo... she was right... i went down to get some cornflakes just now... and coincidentally they drove into the porch... it's like 1am already! haha... not bad, they can actually tolerate until now... muahaha... ok, shouldn't mock at them... quite understandable especially when you've lived in comfort all these while... ha...

i really wan long-lasting friendships like theirs... *haiz*...
