i'm bloating , i'm bloating, i'm blloooooooooaaaaatttiiinnnggg..
i hate it when i'm bloating. i'm already big sized and then overnight, when my stomach decides to bloat, i turn into a fat gorilla the next morning. and i know when i'm bloating from the very first moment i open my eyes. its like uuurrrggghhh, my stomach's stiff. the only thing i like about my bloating season is that my boobs become huge. gigantically huge i tell u. and i love it. but its sore and it hurts too. so oh well, it looks good at least, with a huge belly. hahaha. i sound disgusting. but oh well, i'm bloating... i also love eating chocolates when i'm bloating. and mind u, i bloat for two weeks. its pain pain horror horror, its like being pregnant but only for two weeks, then its singlehood for another two and pregnant mama for another two. its a terrible cycle and i inflate and deflate just like that. my body's very weird. last year, i didn't exercise at all when i was in hawaii. this semester, ever since i moved into my new house, i started getting all hare core about working out. so i go to the gym and sweat it out, i even cheat and stay put in the sauna for 20 minutes and try to lose weight, but i really look the same. so it might be the food.. but noooooooo, i've stopped eating dinner and i hardly eat. maybe its the lack of sleep or dehydration, maybe, possibly, but honestly, i still look the same. and its very disheartening cause i sweat so much but then, no difference at all leh!!! cheeeyyy...
i like going to the gym and listening to old aunties gossip in hokkien. ha, i live very near chinatown so theres alot of chinese people in my neighbourhood. and since i don't look like a typical chinese girl, its funny listening to what they have to say about anything. heehee.. cheap thrills. i like being trilingual (english, mandarin and hokkien). my father can speak 8 different languages and he understands japanese and thai pretty well. he's pretty amazing for a man who never went to school. don't understand how he could do it and i'm struggling. and i consider myself trilingual cause i can curse exceptionally well in hokkien. try me.. please.
also, why do females like walking around naked in the gym's bathrooms? its not very appealing u know. i know we're all females and we have the same assets. but seriously, unless u have a perfect model body, nobody really wants to look at the hairy bush below and the saggy tits. everytime i see a naked female in the bathroom, it eeks me out. i dunno why, i'm supposed to be liberated, to be open minded, to be free and all that rubbish, but i get eeked out when i see a naked female at the gym? and i go on and on about it.

first day of work was filled with my exciting adventures of exploring the great big world of the internet. i swear at least at two points in time during the day my brain literally shut down. the pupils room is absolutotally empty except for lonely ol sucker me the only intern in the entire law firm. not that i learnt anything today at all. except umm that we can eat fruits and biscuits from the pantry and you need a code to enter the female toilet. the partner whom i'm attached too chucked me to some associates. which is fine by me coz they're young and nice and all, the only thing is, there's a case coming up which i'm supposed to help out in and they're too busy to even tell me what to do coz trial's on thurs.
i almost feel invisible there, largely because the pupil's room is so cut off from the rest of the floor. people only pass through my room to get to the smoking joint.
so tomorrow, i will have to have lunch by myself. if any nice friends would like to visit me i am at raffles place, one marina boulevard and my lunch time is 1245pm.
gimme fun things to do on the internet people!!!!!

a long overdue post about my birthday. this is my seond time writing this, i spent over and hour posting up pictures and everything and blogger just ate it all up. but nevertheless, i wasn't going to write about it simply because i was lazy but since thomas did such a fantastic job, i decided to publicly praise him because he frequently sneekily reads our blog to spy on me.
well, my birthday started out pretty nicely. ate my kitkat at 12am and went to school late, skipped a few classes because i could and had to go to work. started getting real frustrated with the thai girl i work with and it started going downhill from there. school ended at 7.30pm and at that point, i was tired and grouchy. bought myself a sunflower thinking that it would brighten up my day but somehow, i started thinking of home and my family and friends and how it would be alot nicer if i could spend it with them instead. got home and started crying myself to saddness. then, thomas called. somehow, i have this gift of fishing out surprises, i told him to cancel the surprise party, he sounded hurt and decided that i should at least swing over to see whether i would like it. and like he predicted, i loved it.
he started cooking since 2pm that day and he cooked all the food all by himself. it was really sweet and it tasted really good. i didn't know he was such a chef till only recently. my friends didn't turn up that night due to some miscommunication, but they made up for it the next night.
the food, the chef and my favourite of them all, my turkey roll.
soon after, we proceeded to the club. it was fun, for the most parts i could remember. mei, remember law bash at chinablack, remember our faces in the drain near my house, yeap, exact moment one more time.
at the club. me and the boys.
this was when i started getting fucked up.
meet my bestfriend for the night, mr. dustbin. notice how the pictures are taken at every different angle.
the leaning nat
tuesday night was good, for most parts till i passed out. went to work the next morning, yeap i actually made it. was more amazed that i woke up at 6.30 to get to work when i still had alcohol ozzing out of my system. i spent most parts of my morning puking while i was working. horrible i know. but oh well. later that night, we went for a techno rave party. V3. it was amazingly fantastic, i had sooooo much fun.
my innate ah lianness shined brightly that night. i was a very happy chick. eli, you know i just had to bring a part of you with me that night, so i wore your earrings.
thursday was thanksgiving. we went for a thanksgiving party. later that night, i went driving around the island. never knew that the ocean was that pitch black at night! and got chased by a voodoo hawaiian lady, scared the shit out of me.
friday night was birthday celebrations for nao ( my old roommate ) and i. my workmates threw us a party at a bar and like every other night, i was messed up.
later that night, thomas and I went to another club. Da Dawg House. it's thomas's favourite club. a lil too broken down for my liking, too many white girls trying to be black and too many stares. but i still had fun laughing my ass off at thomas. he smoked weed that night and got really fucked up. he couldn't stop laughing, even when he was lying on the bed, he kept laughing. it was hysterical. payback time for me and payback's a bitch. see, i told you garcon, what goes around comes around. =)
nothing happened on saturday. we stayed home, cleaned the house, made dinner, rented movies and just chilled out. woke up really late but slept really early.
it was sunday today and i planned a little pinic for thomas to thank him for tuesday. it was a nice, quiet and well deserved pinic. we drove to the other side of the island and the weather was beautiful. he was happy, i was happy he was happy, we both were happy.
i know there's more to life than clubbing and wasting time getting drunk. but its been so long since i had the time to go out and just chill with my friends. it was my bdae and thanksgiving all mixed in one week.
i like posting pictures for memory keepsakes.
this picture is a classic. a week ago, we went surfing and i stepped on a sea urchine. this is thomas trying to take the spikes out from my foot. don't ask me why, but i simple love this picture. i think its that intense concentration. i find that very sexy.
just by looking at the pictures, its so obvious that i'm insane over him and its beautiful that he's incredibly obsessed with me too. on one hand, its so dangerous that one person could rock your world so damn hard, on the other hand, its so amazingly deep and comforting to share everyday with someone so special and who wants to spend it with you too. i'm happy and contented. it feels good. really really good.
i'm taking my driving written test tomorrow. mei, eli, i'm doing this for the both of u! u're my inspiration. i already have it all pictured out. me, driving my dad's car, blasting my techno in his tau pok stereo, driving to bukit batok to pick up eli and then getting lost in joo chiat trying to pick mei and jia mei up. pray for me. cause if i do get my liscence this month, you won't have to take a cab or bus for the month of december and january!!!...
btw, are we still going to thailand? huh huh huh???

I just possibly had one of the worst exams of my life. I take back everything i said about genes being easy. sure sitting there and listening to the lecturer is easy, she makes it sound easy. and then they chuck you a paper with a hundred bloody long questions that don't sound like anything they've taught.
I learnt today that if you're an arts brain you'll almost always be an arts brain. Don't anyhow geykiang.
Are you reading this Dawn? Don't take genes and society ok. unless you're prepared for all that nonsense on probabilities again. ITS TAMADE difficult. I stayed up the entire night to study and I went in feeling semi confident because my lecturer said, all you need to do is UNDERSTAND the topics. and i understood. but everything was greek in that paper. I think if you're not equipped with prior bio knowledge, the stuff they teach in class is really not enough. and they don't release papers so you cannot tenyearseries it.
I HOPE I PASS omg. this has totally backfired. haha

exams=being holed up in hall studying (ok trying to) all day = restless = excessive blogging about trivialities
recently, i have rediscovered my love for eggs! omelette, egg mayo, sunny side up, scrambled, you name it, i eat it!
so on saturday morning, i cooked what my mum used to cook us for sunday breakfasts when we were kids.
FRENCH TOAST!
it was delicious! i realised that im quite a good cook ok.
just whisk 2 eggs, abit of skim milk, half a tsp of vanilla essence and abit of sugar (if u want, but i like adding the sugar as it is on top when im just about to eat it), dip 2 slices of ultra thick half inch bread (3 slices if ure using normal sunshine bread), preferably those from good bakeries, and pan fry them till slightly golden brown. YUM! i like eating them with a sprinkle of powdered cinnamon sugar or just butter and sugar.
my mum's version is just whisk eggs and abit of sugar together, dip the bread and pan fry it. old school and less fancy la she says, last time where got so much time to put milk and vanilla essence for u!
ah well. good breakfast and simple pleasures.

you know channel 5 shows really old sch stuff at 1.30am in the morning. right now they re showing a whole series of old michael jackson mtvs, and for those of u who watched them as a kid as well, im sure you know how his mtvs have lots of funny storylines, and i realised as i watch them that i still remember the dialogues! i watched them all the time when i was a kid and together with my sisters, we could recite the lines and dance along and know exactly when hes gonna sing and all. i especially love the mtv with all the cartoon characters in plasticine like form and like the two fat guys chasing the mj bunny on a bike and the mtv ends with him in a desert transformed back to his reality self and pitting his dance skills with the cartoon bunny. and the "Bad" video with all the kids and how the little boy really resembled michael jackson and danced like him, damn cute! theres also the scary "thriller" video of him after a horror movie date turning into a zombie and dancing with a dozen other zombies and chasing his screaming girlfriend and it ends with him laughing into the camera with yellow eyes, i used to be damn terrified of that mtv! and also the song-movie thingy with the 3 kids on the rooftop watching mj in a hat and white trenchcoat, and a nightclub scene where he did the moonwalk in a mafia-resque way,i forgot what that was called, was that 'History' or something?
ah well, despite him turning freakish, michael jackson was my favourite childhood popstar. and i still think hes the best dancer on earth!
ok exam tmr. back to studying. =(

i turn 21 next week. and somehow, although i've been waiting for this day since forever, it seems like it'll just be another tuesday.
my whole dream of morphing into a babe isn't going to come through. i thought i would when i turned 18 and i didn't. so i hoped that if i worked out hard enough, i'll transform when i turn 21. well, that didn't come true either, i'm still very much me. with all the babas and the pimple scars, i'm still the very same nat who left home about a year ago. sigghh..
but more importantly, it seems like i don't have anyone to spend it with. birthdays are meant for family and friends. sure there's thomas and he'll probably cock up something unusually nice but really, i'm craving for familiar faces and people who really love me for me. i want to spend my time with my girls and just be surrounded by people who loved me for years.
i'm like the total opposite of a socialite. i do know quite a lot of people here but they're more like the hi bye friends. i haven't had any luck finding anyone whom i can truly connect with. like how i connect with mei and eli. anc even though, they're so far away, its like MSN still make them better friends than anyone here. it's like i've built a wall around me and i don't just let anyone come in without much difficulities. i have problems making friends. i haven't had a nice sit down, starbucks coffee chat with my female friends ever since i've left home. i haven't had girlie nights out, i haven't had stayovers. i haven't had alot of the things i really miss.
so it comes down to it, even if there is going to be a party for me, who is there to invite? noo.. really, i'm serious. who can i invite? i can invite all the friends i party with but underneath all that, its just nothing but alcohol and loud music. i can invite thomas's friends. but i don't really like them very much. i like being around them but its that kind of relationship where it only extends out to that. i think they lie too much and they try to impose their view on him all the time. i hate their morals and i don't understand the lies at all. so at the end of the day, who do i really have. thomas. thats all. 2 and a half years in hawaii and i cannot find anyone else to spend my bdae with.
eli always told me to go out and mix out more and to experience life. cause when my whole experience is done and when i look back to my hawaii days, all i can say about hawaii is thomas. and if that doesn't work out, then i have nothing anymore.
but i can't help but wonder whether i'll still be like this if i stayed back at home. i guess i'll still have the same friends but i doubt i'll make any new ones. because i already know who loves me for me and i'm comfortable. i know my comfort zone and i'm contented enough to feel like i don't need anymore. but on the other side, i just suck at making friends. so there it is.. i just suck in that aspect. period.
so yay yay yay, i turn 21 next week. the day i've been waiting for for sooo long. but oh well, theres really nothing to be excited about. school on tuesday and work on wednesday.i want to go home. and now i know why my parents felt that it was important for them to come over. i dunno why i never realized it sooner.

BOO i hate it that people are closing down their blogs because of flamers. What am i going to do with one less blog to read now huh huh? I don't understand why people have to take things SOOO seriously all the time. I mean if you're reading about a pretty girl who buys pretty shoes and nice hangbags and trinkets and has a cute boyfriend, then that's all its about innit?
gah i'm rolling my eyes at all you twits out there now. roll roll roll roll roll.
haha this sounds so bimbotic. but well, when you're crammed up with the twists and turns and the exciting adventures of the EA, CL and CPC, you don't really want to think all that much anymore.

i miss cooking for myself. not that i don't like cooking for thomas and his friends but sometimes, i just like cooking for myself to appreciate my so called skills and to cook smaller portions in a much shorter time. but in all honesty, cooking for thomas doesn't give me much kick anymore cause he thinks mee goreng is the best invention on earth and that char kway teow makes me the best chinese chef. hahaha.. soo.. but anyways, i like cooking for myself once in awhile. i used to do that all the time when i first got here and i never shared food with my roommate. when i first got to know thomas, i'll let him eat all my mee goreng and maggi mees, even if it means that i have 4 packets left and he eats 2 at a go, i'll be nice and smile and let him finish all my noodles. but now... hohoho... i scream everytime he comes close to my noodles. touch my bak kut teh noodles and i'll create a fight. no wait, i'll wake up from my sleep and start a fight. i love my food too much. so yes, i'm selfish in that aspect.
anyways, my favourite part of the day is right before i go to bed. i love sleeping too much, it makes me happy just thinking about sleeping. but i also love the conversations we have right before we go to bed. lately, we've been having really good conversations. tonight, we were talking about out trip to florida in march. there was this particular night when we spent a whole day at universal studios and went out clubbing at night at one of the disney themed park. I was really grumpy that night cause i didn't want to club and i was tired too. and to make things worse, i brought a really nice top and skirt but i left my heels at thomas's home in another city so i had to wear my raggedy $5 giordano slippers. for the whole freaking night, i felt awkward cause people kept starring at me. and for this whole time, from that night till today, i thought it was because of my slippers. and while we were talking about that night, i suddenly realized that the reason why people were starring at me that night was because i was the only Asian person there!! when i was there, alot of people told me that i'm the first asian person they've ever spoken to. i was the only asian person in the mall and when we went to buy fried rice at one of the stores, i spoke mandarin to the lady and she was sooo damn happy cause she said only americans come and purchase her food, she hasn't seen an asian person in months.
i realized a new pet peeve today as well; condoms should never be next to a rosary or the cross. it shouldn't even be on the same table. i know sex isn't a sin but pre-marital sex is. and i'm wondering so if u've only slept with one person in your whole life and ended up marrying him in the end, would that still be considered a crime? cause u've always had the intention of marrying him and you've never broken that "intimate bond" that u're supposed to share with that special one. no seriously, i've always been puzzled by that. but anyways, back to my point, just having the two objects near each other makes me uneasy. i don't know why. and i'm not even a catholic. i have 3 crosses and two rosaries in my house and i went to st theresa's convent, but i'm not catholic and i feel uncomfortable about things like that.
i skipped finance class today because i overslept. my finance teacher is some millionaire who feels that teacing fulfills his life. he makes money out of stocks and real estate so really, he is quite rich. and he likes girls too. did i mention that he gave me 88 out of 100 for my first finance exam which, till this very day, have no idea why. so basically, if i don't go to school, how am i going to get my grades if he doesn't get to see my pretty face and give me my grades.?? haha.. i'm kidding..but he's very strange and he has a math face.
i have to work tomorrow. its been a week since i've been to work. i wish i didn't have to so thomas and i could go surfing instead. maybe if i sound sick enough, i'll actually call in sick tomorrow morning. people do that kind of stuff here. when the waves are up, they just call in sick and the companies cannot do jack shit about it. union power baby. i need to be in a union. an asian civil rights union. but i make about $77 bucks a day for 7 hours of work, without deducting taxes, so i kinda need the money. and i need money. i'm a greedy greddy girl. i have to start saving up so that when i turn 21 and can start drinking in the club, i have money to buy the cocktails.
thailand thailand thailand.. i can't wait. i want to go to thailand. i've been to thailand, i loved the sharks fin soup and i loved the shopping. i can't wait. ever since my dad became in love with sharks, he feels that killing sharks is an immoral act. especially when they chop off the fins and throw the sharks back to the ocean. but i haven't drank sharks fins soup ever since i was 13 years old and i think eating meat and seafood in generally is cruel so really... either become a vegan and lead a sinless meatless life or just enjor one huge bowl of sharks fin soup.. anyone wants to join us for thailang. so far, we have eli, me, thomas, mei, ah long, maybe jude and kelly.. maybe boon and racheal.. jiamei, addie, jess, mel.. want to go??

i think boys morph into cheaters when they start playing sports. everytime i play racquetball with the boys, they start getting loud. that " oh i'm better than u" talk, the cocky walk and the cheating moves, i hate playing with them but yet, everyday, i find myself thinking about playing racquetball with them again. hahahahaaa..
last week, i went to see a doctor about my fever and my very big tummy. its not cause i'm pregnant cause its hard underneath, like muscles forming underneath layers of fat. so i talked to the doctor, she played with my tummy for a little bit and revealed a myth i should have taken seriously. she said my belly comes from all the meat i've been eating. well, i hate fruits and i stay 5m away from veggies, so basically, i'm a carnivore. drinking fruit juices and taking those multi veggie pills are the closest i'll ever get to fruits and veggies. by anyways, she told me that eating meat as a staple diet causes indigestion and builds up gas in your belly. so as much as your body is losing weight in all the different areas, eating meat constantly will help u get a belly. i wasn't very shocked cause i've always had a belly. even when i was running 10km a day, i was still jiggly wobbily in that belly area. but nevertheless, i'm still eating my meat. i'll try forcing some veggies here and there, once in a very long well. but i'll eat less meat and drink plenty of water to wash away my meat. if that even makes any sense???
a few of us went to learn how to surf on sunday. i learnt how to surf about a year and a half ago, its fun. but its only fun if u have a strong upper body and really really strong arms. back then, when i learnt it, i was totally out of shape. the only workout i got was from the crazy clubbing i did. and for all those who know a lil bit about surfing, its the paddling that kills you. it kills you way before you even get to the spot. but this time round, it was alot easier. been working out a little bit, so i felt that it was a little easier. and having the boys there made it fun too. listening to one of them scream like a girl, watching thomas fall, it was fun. i did managed to stand many times though so i am very very proud of that. but, i did happen to fall on a sea urchine and had 3 spikes stuck to my foot too...but nonetheless, it was fun and i'm excited to go again this week.
i haven't clubbed in a long long while. but over the weekend, i clubbed twice. on the first nite, i was drunk after 3 tequila shots. by 2am, i was yawning and spacing out. we ate chicken wings at the club but that just made me sleeplier. the next night, i didn't even drink at all cause i still felt sick from the night before. the retarded white boys at the club did nothing for me, instead, they made me want to go home. theres a difference between being funny and amuzing than being retarded and annoying. somehow, alot of white boys don't know the difference. I had some boy who introduced himself as a doctor, 5 seconds later, admitted that he was lying. i had another white boy who did the fish rowing action to me. like wtf... there were several others who were just plain annoying. i'm not being racist but generally, black boys stay at a corner and wait for the girls to pounce at them and if you reject them, they'll just walk away. Asian boys are the nicest. but the majority of them are alot skinner and shorter, so oh well...
I think Heidi is a very pretty name. I have a friend called Heidi and she's Asian Canadian. She's a very sweet girl but i really really adore the name. Heidi Heidi Heidi.. hmmmmmm.. nice.
I was reading about the hottestblogger.com thing today. haha, its quite interesting. there are some girls who are really pretty and have good quality entries but the majority of them weren't very bright. pretty though, very sweet typical girls. but nevertheless, nice to look at. I was reading about Dawn yeo too and i came across this website that kinda talked about her and had a time line of all the different pictures of dawn when she was in secondary school to rjc days to the current girl that she is. it's quite a difference. but plastic or not, she looks nice to me. and if she's going to be famous, good for her too. i've heard soo much about her through my acjc days, and i've seen her a couple of times, she does look very very different. in a good way i guess.
its been raining and shining everyday here. it'll rain for 5 mins and get so hot and then rain again. this is the result of living near the mountains. i'm not complaining. it's just that the flu period lasts longer and with the flu, the brain and the body doesn't function properly. i don't really like being sick. having to study and work and meet guests, its hard. but oh well..
Marriott is hiring for future managers to manage their new hotels all over the US, Guam and in Hawaii. I would really like to work for Marriott and be a manager somewhere but Disney came first. I guess I wouldn't know which company to choose if both threw themselves at me.
i've got to study tomorrow. and i've got to make thomas study as well.

LONG OVERDUE POST BACKDATE IT LIKE LAST THURSDAY COS APPARENTLY BLOGGER DOESNT LIKE ME!
exam season in nus marks the start of muggerish nus students camping overnight in yih study room just to book seats. very bizarre. i dont know how people study for hours on end, my concentration span is like only 2hrs max and after that i either gotta munch on something or i gotta get a change of env. Lest im like seriously rushing an essay, i can stay in my seat typing away for 6hrs straight, on good days. even so, i still need the company of chocolates and my post cereals. we all need our own versions of stress relief.
i think nothing beats a long run at night after a long day, its my number one stress reliever that i cannot do without.
so lately instead of running alone like i always do, the boy's been accompanying me so no more worries of getting kidnapped in the whee hours of the night. i like doing simple things with him like running to holland and then after stretching we'd go eat and do some grocery shopping in cold storage. very domesticated eh. i think so also. or on days when he comes to my place we'd bring meejee to nature park for a walk/jog. doing simple stufff like that takes my mind off the usual bustle of daily life and makes me appreciate what i have alot more.makes me realise that it actually doesnt take alot to be happy. love, life and why. i wonder.
i think having time alone is a stress reliever in itself too. on days like today when i just feel like pampering myself a little, i go for my facial at haach habourfront (only this haach outlet and the m hotel branch is good though). if ure looking for a good place for a facial, this is IT. i love love love the ambience makes me feel like im at some resort in bali. and ive had a package with them for 2 years now. the face massage is HEAVENLY, or maybe i just happen to have a skilled beautician, but anyhow, ive had this same package for the past year or so and i havent finished all my sessions! some 1 for 1 deal and i ended up getting 30sessions for the price of 15. nothing beats a facial or massage for a good taitai pampering feel.
i sat at starbucks for the whole afternoon after my facial today (last thursday) .i like sitting in cafes alone with a good book, and now that starbucks' toffee nut latte is back again for the xmas season, i find myself wandering there very often for a good cuppa with a good read. highly calming.
AND THIS IS THE PART WHERE THE REST OF MY MOTHER LONG POST GOT ERASED FOR THE FIFTH TIME. TAMADE BLOGGER.COM!!!!! erased my wholeeeeeeee paragraph about jap desserts and peanut butter bread and butter sugared toast. theres a reason y i dont blog often and this is precisely y. i feel like a tape recorder already.i actually wrote alot more but i cant do it for the 6th time im seh already.
anyhow, its confirmed. the boy got accepted for his exchange and hes gonna be away in Edinburgh for a year come next year! im so very excited for him!!! at the same time, all these things im hearing about LDRs are kinda not so very optimistic. but i guess we ll see how it goes along when the time comes. least ill get free food and lodging when i go holiday in UK! ahaha. whee.
anyhow i seriously want to eat this now.
and green tea babaroa and strawberry parfait and tofu cheesecake and provence donuts and cinnamon bun with the white frosting on top! cravings.
and off to nyamuk for climbing road trip in dec after exams wheee!! cant wait.
i talk like its after exams already. =(

happy even when we're drunk.
a random shot a friend took for us when we were all out clubbing on friday. and i think this is an awesome shot cause it basically depicts my life at this very point of time. contented, settled and very very comfortable. but most importantly, i'm just happy. and not to forget, grateful.
just grateful that the boy beside me is all mine. although he's not the smartest and the most eloquent person u'll ever meet but he's definately the most loving and the most giving boyfriend i'll ever have. its guys like these who distinguishes and seperates the boys from the men. and i'm glad that i managed to fish this one out of the sea.
more pictures coming this week. i promise.

so thomas became an american today. for the past 5 years, he's been on the island because he has a green card and was a resident. today, he officially became a citizen. which is nice for him because then, he can start helping his family members change their citizenship and all that. he's been going on and on about being an american and how i have to live under his rules and ya da ya da ya da.. he's always calling me a chink but today, he started this whole immigrant name calling.. my biggest question is this, i understand that haiti is one of the worst countries in the world. with voodoo practices and cannibalism but seriously, whats so good about being an american? i think at this point of time, the world hates americans. for the lousy president ( u can't sue me cause its freedom of speech, 1st amendment my dear) and for the bombings and killings, for the arrogance and for all the rubbish they've caused. and as much as this sounds contradictory cause i'm here, i think this place isn't all that great. honestly, i think we do a much much better job at home. in all areas. politically, we're pretty smooth. socially, people are taken care off and we don't have homeless people and topless transvestites terrorising the streets. environmentally, okay, so maybe we kinda have to work on that. but all in all, i'm pretty happy being singaporean. call me a chink and whatnots, i think we're pretty awesome.
i did my final paper for my tourism class on Singapore. and after studying all the problems the other countries have, i think we're really amazing. like thailand the the prostitues, for all the boys who fuck thai girls in thailand, please don't, cause my prof's research showed that 87% of thai girls don't wear condoms if u ask them not to and 65% of them are HIV positive. same for vietnam and the growing trend in parts of china. and if u think the research was a whole load of bullshit, he interviewed them himself, and he's quite an honest man.. so please please, don't be fooled by the thai girls. then there's indonesia and malaysia, plagued by environmental problems. not like we don't already know, the forest fires, the pollution.. so really, we're quite a talented little island.
i just think that its sad that the singapore tourism board values SHATEC students as our future. actually, i feel quite insulted. cause here in hawaii, to become a manager of whatever, be it restaurants or hotels or something, u must have at least have a bachelors in tourism or business management. it doesn't matter if u're a front desk manager or a part time restaurant manager, u have to have a degree. and they pay u the big bucks too. so u know, when u're a manager, u're somebody. but oh well..let me come home and work with some shatec people, please give me the authority to knock them in the head. and i speak from experience with the singaporeans here. the shatec kids think that they're some big fucks with their fucked up small time shatec diploma and their broken english and fucked up dress sense.. pleasssseee, let me be some big shot next time, just wait and see whether i'll close that school down..
till next time...

i made a mistake of drinking water straight out of the tap. i keep forgetting that the hawaiian water system is pathetic and that people have gotten really really sick from drinking the water here. after 10 minutes, i started feeling sick. my throat hurts and i feel like my whole body is dehydrating. either i'm a real drama queen or i'm just getting very very sick!!!! i hope its the later so i can call in sick for work tomorrow and pon tang.. weeeeeeeeee.. but no seriously, i really do feel sick!

everytime my parents leave, i feel this sense of intense saddness and i'll remain that way for a week. it was a great week. regardless of the food and the fights, its like everytime i see them, we bond a little.so as i watched them walk through the gates, for like the 5th time, i thought i would be used to it but i was dead wrong.
the only difference we have at this point of time is thomas. my dad did meet him and he thought that thomas was a nice decent boy. but realistically, making this relationship work is going to be a toughie.
somedays, my dad will hint that singapore has tons of inter racial marriages and that it would be easy for us to blend it. somedays, he'll feel like my mom would never accept thomas and judging from the way my family is right now, it seems like i'm my mom's only hope and that i shouldn't, in all circumstances, break her heart.
i do believe that my mom has great hopes for me. but at the same time, giving me this pressure to leave someone that i love so much is unfair. i told my dad unfront that making me leave thomas so as to make my mom happy is unfair to me. he said that he understands yet there's nothing he can do.
so i'm stuck.
and there we have thomas. standing my the side, outside of the box, completely clueless. i guess he's taking things well but as the time grows, so does his insecurity level. but he's afraid that if he puts in more effort into this relationship, it'll hurt more when we have to leave.
but like i said in susie's blog. i like inter racial relationships. it doesn't mean that i've never liked a pure chinese or indian boy, i have but its just that being with someone who is completely different is refreshing. my dad thinks that this whole excitement will wear out one day, that there will come a point where we will both stop compromising and we'll just fight. i think we've been past that point and we're still here.
but seriously, i think the underlying implication of this whole matter is basically, what about me??? am i too young to be thinking so far ahead about someone? cause i'm only 21 and i feel committed but judging from social norms, am i being too serious?

Last sem, in Public law, i came across a case on Ngyuen Tuong Van. like the occasionallylazybutslowlyimprovinginhardworkingness of a law student that I am, i glanced thru the case, didn't really read the arguments of counsel, went straight to the rule and the holding.
and then today, on TODAY, i saw the name Ngyuen Tuong Van again. and apparently, he only resorted to trafficking drugs to settle his twin brother's debt and because the family was desperate already. and i suddenly rememebered that behind those cold case names, Johnson v PP, drquack v lim chee hong and whatnot, were people. peeeoopleeeee whoo need peopleeeeee. people who had sisters and brothers and fathers and mothers and sons and daughters and friends and family.
and i had reduced them to mere case names. shame on me.
by the way, i got a D for public law. so i don't know if i spelt ngyuen tuong van correctly. i'm too lazy to check TODAY.

i've been having alot of fun with my parents. its been great. i've been eating FANTASTIC food and i'm putting back all the weight i've lost in the 2 months. nice good authentic chinese food, big fat chessescakes, cookies and ice cream.. man man man.. i'm a happy girl.
it's been nice spending time with my parents. we got to work out together today, we went to the gym across the street. and after working out, we went to play racquetball and it was amazing! my mother is a funny person, watching her play can give me abs in one night! and earlier today, we went driving around the mountains and we also went on a submarine ride. so far, its been great,
the saddest part is that i'm so contented with having them here that i feel okay not to have thomas around.i can so totally go through a day without him and when he comes to the gym to meet me for like 5 minutes, i crumble again and realize that i'm missing so him out on so much. and i pity him cause he'll come meet me for like 5 mintues 5 times a day. but yeah, oh well, i'm happy, it's all good. at least my parents are happy too.
and my computer seems to be in a happy mood as well. it's not hanging, it's not fucking up.. hmmm..
finance class is messing around with my head man! fuuuuuccckkk.. i know i sound like a pathetic secondary school girl but damn, finance is hard! jiamei, i have the fullest respect for you!
