as usual, i don't have the habit of typing in details.
i guess it's a bad habit but it's too time consuming. e always busy bee :X
but i had a really great time with them yest day.
bought a nice top, bottom and jacket :)

now, i'm worrying over what to wear to the crowbar award ceremony on next fri!
mdm chan said: "DRESS TO KILL"!
how am i to interpret it?
mr wilson suggest wearing something special and make ppl like WOW?

meanwhile, i shall finish up all my posters designs, notice board designs, tidy my wardrobe, figure out what to wear, ask my fashion consultants(i guess ur know who you are), get anything if i need, do up the notice boads, enjoy and endure the many tuitions next 2 wks, pray hard that i still maintain my gpa and last but not least doll up for the award ceremony on fri :)

the best birthday present!

Dear Students,

The school receives good news that your submissions for Crowbar Awards 2006 have been shortlisted. The school is subsidising 50% of the ticket price of S$30.00 per ticket for shortlisted students. This means, you pay S$15.00 and the school pays S$15.00. You need to purchase the tickets through the school inorder to get the discounted price.

Results will only be known on the prize presentation evening…should you receive a Best of Category Award, I’ll return you the S$15.00 on the spot, i.e. the school pays the full price of your ticket.

Pls give me your S$15.00 by tomorrow, 28 Sep 2006 if you are interested to attend the Crowbar Awards Ceremony on Fri, 6 Oct 06 at the NTUC Auditorium.

birthday present wannababes

today is 27th September
exactly one wk to amanda's first paper and also bro's birthday
it's also pretty obvious that my birthday is just round the corner :)

so since this is my blog my space to rant,
i shall just put down what I dreamt of having for this special day.

so here i state,a wishlist of mine, COUNTING DOWN TO A CERTAIN DAY IN OCT.
well, if you are intending to get me one. *AHEM* be a darling and pick one from this list.
you sure gonna make me love you more.

not in any order of preference:

1.Cannon of Nikon DSLR (if you're freaking rich and don't know where to spend ur $) haha.
like i've said a DSLR has become more than a need than a want. but well, i'm still working towards this particular goal of mine.
2.Do they sell Basheer vouchers?
3.A nice A3 portfolio :)
4.Add yet another earring/belt to my collection?
5.Create a personalised "get creative ideas" kit, like putting in stuff in a nice packaging you think can help me attain "enlightenment" during the hectic deadlines rush.
6.A close friend gathering of those whom i sorely missed and neglected
7.Some alcohol to knock me out once. It's legal soon. very soon!
8.Some nice gold dangling accessories which melted my heart recently :)
9.MACBK PRO! (if you're MAC=MAD!)
10.A holiday to anywhere. I think i need a break from my daily routine if i can afford the time yah.


But honestly speaking,
i would love a thoughtful hand-made present :)

on a lighter note,
like i've said....
it was only a dream :o)

this is what i do when i'm crazzzyy :)


my today is "a stay-home" day.
slept at 5 this morn n woke up at 9.
head to sch to help liwen to register since she's away, and now back hm to work on SC3 designs.
stayed up the whole night, but am too glad that i done with one poster :) FINALLY!

so 1 done, 2 more posters to go!
when the deadline is like 3 days away?
gonna try to finish everything soon..
whenever the ic ask so how is the design?
he/she definitely add on additional amount of stress which can be avoided
i guess only des students can understand. duh

since i won't be able to saty hm on wed, thur n fri.
busy going out, you see :X
anyway, finally meeting up with the TV02 this friday.
then shopping with my twin :)

who: TV02
what: lunch cum gathering
when: this friday 29/9/06 at 1 pm
where: city hall mrt station

back to her routine that she so love.
i shall be more diligent before this thur's meeting
yes i will be *NOD*

dinner at seoul garden :)

the chalet

my creation

just back an hour plus ago.
didn't sleep much as usual and
we woke up early to watch our firey sunrise
(more pictures to be up later) was busy with checking in, bbq-ing so i didn't take much photos
until now, e bbq smell still stuck with my hair yucks:X
anyway, am glad the chalet was quite a successful one :)
all thanks to everyone for making it a possible and a memorable one

gonna plan a TV02 chalet soon aft the phone call with jw yest night.
still tentative as we're all the usual busy bees :X
this wk is a VERY enjoyable and fruitful wk
having a ladies afternoon out with those 2/6 girls :)
i guess it gonna be FUN too!

BTW, i bumped into a particular lecturer with his wife and adorable son at the swimming pool on wed
am glad that mom and i were dry already, if not so pai seh lar
must agree with mimo that we does have some affinity..
be it lib, pool or anywhere i somehow will bump into him
i really wonder if affinity really exists?

i'm so tired but
3 posters are waiting right infront of me!
aiyoh, my mind really dread to do work during holiday
holidays are meant to be holidays :)

that's all for now.
be back with more photos

the experience

had the experience of being a busy creative director with 3 meetings today. phew
actually, all meetings were fruitful but when i think of the work i need to produce before sat's meeting make me want to faint badly.
it would be possible if i'm free this wk without tuition, chalet and gathering
but i definitely place the above before my work
as i have been neglecting them and it's time to catch up during this 2 wks break

to be honest, the workload is simply worse than my course work
but deep down in my heart,
i adore what i'm doing now
i know it's my commitment. my passion
though there are times i complain and complain
but i just need a breather
a hole for me to rant
and make me feel better

aft meeting1, meeting 2, meeting 3..
went to order satay and
met up with the gang at ws to buy chalet stuff
then bumped into the always motherly guider, mrs pang
according to ms chua,
the usual blur queen(yours truly) was smart enough to give her no. to mrs pang
but forget to jot down her no.
so now, we shall hope that she will get in touch with ms chua and me :)

back to WORK.
will be back with chalet photos soon.
till then...


ps. pearl wen, enjoy ur long awaited trip to JZG :) bon voyage!

i think i really need to get a thick 07 calendar diary
the list of things i need to jot down n remind myself to do it
is VERY SCARY :p
that's all for now,
hey freedom, i'm coming!

just what do you seek for?

sometimes you just wish to escape from everything.

not knowing what is holding you back.
not knowing what you are searching for.
i try to perfect things, but others are not.
at times, i don't even know myself.
i may not be having the luxurious moments of life.
i don't want to live day by day either.

over the past few day,
i realise something...
i love the friendly and lovely side of you and
not the scary side. REALLY
maybe we're just not in our gd moods
yea, no more rubbish.

came across this from someone's blog
i felt it's so true!
i really wish and want to escape from everytthing right now
the deadlines are too overwhelming :X

Counting down.

Yeah! back from camp :) even though it's a working camp, we had a gd time toge.
suanning, gossiping, crapping, joking, snacking and throwing pillows at each other early in e morn at 4am
i didn't slp at all for e first time in my life!
was chatting with sam n the gang
they're VERY curious about design students life in BT. how really busy are we?

had to return to campus for presentation on tue morning
sam is so nice to drive us out for breakfast then to campus
now i know where to find nice tea n 'pancake' :)

that particular nice person was busy introducing the 4 singles in mc to me :X
my excuse to him: "No time" (sch work+family+friends+cca+tuition) where got time?
actually there is since i'm improving on my time management side
but there's no wrong in wanting more time for myself actually haha

i guess he behave n think crazy just like me when i'm slp deprived
or maybe he dreams to become a matchmaker?!#$%@^&
we shall wait till that day...

everyone seems to be counting down to holiday
ATTENTION: 9 MORE DAYS TO GO!
i need to remind myself beside choinging there's sc meeting on tue
i'm loving e latter :)

heading home

the invisible me

the ongs family

as you can see i'm shorter than my younger sis
i'm so used to hear that comments ever since ages ago haha :)

HAPPY TEACHER'S DAY

my second teacher's day flower :)
(forgive me for e lousy photography as i'm too exhausted after a series of events today)
amanda is such a sweet dar.
despite a stress, workload, screamings, prone of getting sore throats, stubborn students etc.
teacher's day is one of the few days that make teachers feel that it's worth doing so much for their students.
i think it's worth going that extra mile :)

half block is gone.
nothing is done.
in 2 wks time it's project submission wk
yet, till now i'm still lost in e maze for mmf
i need to get out of it real soon
while p2 is change this, add that, try this.

on a lighter note,
i'm looking forward to my sports club committee retreat at aloha changi :0)
1 queen bed, 6 single beds, 4 toilets at an affordable price for 2 days 1 night
did u just drop ur jaw or something?

it would be of a working more than playing camp
need to get lots of work done during e retreat
e not VERY FUN part is that i can't join them for some bonding activities at e beach in e morning
cos i need to return to campus for presentation.
aiya, i was wondering if i can see changi sunrise first time in my entire life....
