orkid
will probably only start typing in full sentences again when term begins. brain is not up to task as of now. foresee that I will have a hard time on the eve of the first day of school, struggling with the reality of no more sleep-ins.
I, the president of the Tuzi fanclub invite all of you to your sofas and recliners at 8pm tmr to catch the band in action.
Please support! am seriously considering buying a chow chow pup for my 21st, but fail to have anyone's encouragement, including my beloved. when i mention it, he whistles and goes all spacey on me. oh well. hahaha..
recently travelled to banyan tree resort with him in bintan. love the exclusivity of the villas, our's had an outdoor deck facing the sea complete with a jacuzzi. will post some pictures soon. one morning heard some rustling, turned out to be a crow pecking at our breakfast that was brought to us and arranged on our outdoor table ( i know breakfast-in-bed sounds romantic but to me, that's just abit gross. imagine sleeping with crumbs/bacon bits on your bed linen. eww). din get to see much wildlife (i think sth to be thankful for, cos have heard tt the monkeys are aggressive) except tt wretched crow and a squirrel. was continuously fascinated by houses built on stilts in the sea (2 in total we saw within the scope of our villa), and i think tt fascination stemmed from my absolute fear of the water and its endless depth. imagine. how can anyone of us city-dwellers live in such a vast space? watched P.S. I love you in the comforts of the amazing four-poster bed (and btw, i thot the mosquito net surrounding completely lent itself to the exclusive atmos), with a box of tissues prepared. did not cry. did not tear. basically only had to deal with darling's constant checking up on me (every 5min, REALLY). he had a strategy; sometimes leaning over to scrutinize my eyes, sometimes saying sth outrageous so i wld be incited to glare at him (thereby granting him total access to my eyeballs). haha... well this is us. at the end of it immediately sms-ed 2 close friends to boast of my accomplishment. experiment successful: proof that when i bawled over Mr.Magorium's Wonder Emporium, it was only cos i was pms-ing.
to continue, tk and i had a massage session tgt, with a lesson thrown in. while we were seated side by side with our therapists on the floor kneeling massaging our feet, a spider crawled onto my masseuse's face. it was running all over her gentle and serene exterior but either she din feel it, or more likely she thot it rude to us to remove it. so it crawled, and she talked us through the massage, and so terence and i looked at each other, and so i was trying hard not to erupt in a laughing fit (EH! for the reputation of all of YOU singaporeans back home ok. hahaha. kidding), and so the more i looked at terence the more he tried to look nonchalant in order that i might restrain myself. in the end i told her la, altho so paiseh to do so. and she got it off her face, and we continued. haha.. we rode a buggy everywhere. and they served us ginger drinks everywhere (very potent).
once i was standing by a ledge taking a photo of a some rocks at the shoreline, and rather absorbed by my task (we were waiting for our lunch to be served, the nasi goreng is PERFECT). imagine when i turned around, job done, only to face adrian pang and his wife. not face-to-face la (nowhere in the island is ever crowded. it is unthinkably exclusive. like the area around your villa you rarely see more than 5 ppl at once) but you know. i tell you, i was abit shocked and i think my face expressed tt shock until i shocked him too (he prob isn't in denial la, that he has fans or what. haha) and so he politely smiled and i said hi. hahaa. yay. singaporean domination!
ok well, i had the best time (aside from the hour-long ferry ride). VERY scary, cos the waves were choppy and the ferry was really rocking it.
thank you for reading. i will see you soon, along with my photos of bintan and tmr's QF round live at mediacorp studios. bye =)

groupie mode.
i address you all today as president of the TU ZI fan club.
i don't care how silly or ridiculous i looked on tv just now with my bunny ears and so forth, waving the banner like a madwoman.
i just am SO proud of my friend Carissa for making it through to the next round of SuperBand. She looked so cute jamming away on stage, in her element, and i was thinking to myself: there she is, my age-old friend who truly makes me happy.
see you at the next round of competition.

the case of the mysterious disappearance of mundane and moody mondays.
life update in brief:
1. exams are over; and i'm slowly learning to deal with my freedom. it's a feel-good adjustment, as compared to pre-exams when i had to adjust to working hard. haha.. it's good fun now. life is (more of a) joy.
2. grandparents are staying at my place while their's is being renovated. quite fun. it's been ages since my granddad came over. every morning i wake up at 11plus and come out of my room, an absolute bedhead, and say: HI!!!! to my grandpa and i start laughing cos he looks so amused at me. i think he wonders how i can wake up so late (i hope it's not my hair anyway). and he announces to everyone else that: da xiao jie qi lai le. ahaha. i feel like a mini empress! well. i always knew i am a princess cos terence tells me so. now i'm a princess in a different cultural context. ahhaa..
3. i permed my hair recently. i know 'perm' still carries a very strong ah-soh undertone, the same way 'rebond' recalls to mind schooling lians. but reiterating what they always advise in beauty mags: tell the hairstylist what you want. be precise and don't be persuaded if you know what you want. today someone asked me if the curling of my hair is natural. AWWW! you see. you get what you want if you only ask. perfect.
4. thot of probably looking for some part-time work come june. for now, i'm quite content to focus on three upcoming events: 5th year anniversary celebrations with TK, making a banner for dear car who is in the finals of fei chang Superband (haha. i am absolutely cheena-fied sometimes, if you must know) and providing the support, and a trip to hk. looking up on Nars cosmetics and H&M (which, as mentioned, i found to be overrated when i finally saw the brand in London and therefore i hope this time will prove itself better). Nars is a fab brand. i use Scarlet Empress, a blue-ish red lipstick that is perfect in brightening up my yellow skin tone. immediately i look white when i put it on. hahaa. not ghostly white. just snow-white white. HAHAHA. so i say. lala. i discovered the lippie while reading UK Glamour. never before have I been so stunned by a lip colour. i saw it and had to get it even though i could not try it on myself and even though it was 17 pounds ( approx SG$51), which is a ghastly price for a lipstick. but i took a risk and it worked *beams
5. i removed the colour from my last pedicure. and oh no. my toe nails are monsters. all ten of them. i have never seen such ugly things. just as well my next appt is coming up. nice to know that all i have to worry abt now are such trivial things as what colour to paint next. for now. i'm not saying that these are my most urgent thots all the time.
6. current booklist: a compilation of Sherlock Holmes, and Eat,Pray,Love by Elizabeth Gilbert. new mag discovery: a fashion weekly with a little bit of tabloid from the UK, Look magazine. it is the best thing. minimal words. lotsa product pics and fashion spreads and gorgeous (slim) celebs like Cheryl Cole, Kate Moss, Agyness Deyn. can be found in Kino.
Have a GREAT week ahead. and congratulations my friends, those who will be clearing their papers this coming week. Enjoy too!
