Time flies
Look at how time flies.
Look at how the society changes people.
The horror of 6 years.
What can 6 years do to you?
I changed from a mooncake face in 2001….
To the princess I am today, in 2007.
Birthday Celebration Part III
The BIG day is finally here!
My 19th Birthday!
=D
Got to spend the day with my lovely girls and buddy.
Thanks everyone.
But,
I very lazy to do a full account.
So I will let the pictures do the talking alright?
=D
Met up with Chris for some shopping before meeting up with the rest for dinner.
Miss the times we went shopping.
Girl!
Must do that often okie!
She actually planned a surprise visit from my buddy!
The culprits.
My first and only birthday cake!
=D
Dinner time!
Yummy!
Heroine of the day!
She chopped up the crabs for us and injured her finger in the process.
Best friends for life!
Goddess and Meiying, who came all the way from M’sia!
Last but not least,
Girlies unite on the train!
=D
Thanks Chris, ZhiHao, Jiamin, Joyner for the Adidas Jacket!
Thanks Goddess and Meiying, for simply being there. =D
That’s all folks,
The 19th Birthday of Her Royal Highness.
=D
Birthday Celebration Part II
I know this is way over due,
I am so sorry but I am trying my best to find the mood for it.
=D
So,
let’s not brood over it shall we,
and get started!
My birthday eve started off pretty normal,
at least to me.
Was done at Gone Fishing at 530.
Hence I was surfing the net and crapping on MSN,
as usual.
=D
RN asked me online to joined them for KTV that night,
and when she saw the hesitation,
she roped in my Godpa, Kingmeng to persuade me.
After making a few phone calls,
I decided to join them.
Went to work feeling excited because I have been itching to go KTV since god-knows-when.
=D
And so, went off to work as usual.
Night time came soon enough for me,
partly because I was quite busy,
and I was excited too.
Time check:
1115.
request to leave wad denied.
Boss said that it was a busy night so I cannot leave yet.
*Swearing and cursing at this moment already because I wanted to save on the midnight charge.
1140
RN, Chuwen, Starmist, Charlie turned up upexpectedly, together with Chuwen’s labbit, Ah BOy.
Was surprised but did not think much of it since they explained that they were in the area before heading down to meet the others at Clementi.
Chatted with them for a little while before going back in to help out.
Boss chased me out stating that he can manage and I should go chat with my friends.
Fine.
Was chatting half way through when they suddenly started to sing birthday song.
My boss was standing behind me.
Holding a chocolate fondue.
My very first chocolate fondue in 19 years.
Was super touched can!
Chuwen and RN proceed on to give me my birthday present.
The ProjectShop bag!
I once told Chuwen that I really liked it and they got it for me!
Chuwen actually sacrificed his studying time and 1 lecture to go and get it.
Touched.
Thanks Prince!
After the chocolate fondue and endless chatter later,
we cab down to Clementi for KTV.
Met up with KingMeng first, followed by Joelle and Gavin.
There I received my 2nd present of the night,
A necklace from Perlini’s Silver from the lovebirds.
Thanks Xuejie and Xuejie-fu.
=D
Had quite a crazy time there.
Saw the formation of F3.
Heh.
Did not manage to take a lot of photos because I was too busy throwing peanuts.
=D
That sort of sum up my birthday eve.
Thanks barflies!
diet
The thing about my kind of diet is,
I do not eat healthily.
Not in the sense of eating deep-fried food and stuff.
More of,
Not eating much.
Before you jump to the conclusion that I am aneroxic,
I am not.
I do not starve myself.
Just,
eat lesser.
I eat 2 meals instead of 3.
I eat bread instead of rice or noodles for brunch.
Just some bit of rice and meat and veg for dinner.
Small portions of everything.
Guess it is not very healthy.
But it is quite effective.
I am further encourage by the leftwards movement of the weighing scale needle.
But once in a while,
I do stuff myself silly,
and almost regret it immediately.
I was once bulimic,
but found it too much of a hassle.
It is not easy to keep excusing myself to visit the little girl’s room.
It is very unhealty.
Why do you not exercise?
I get such questions frequently.
I do not exercise is because of my weak knee joints.
Controlling what I eat is much easier,
though that means I have to go to bed on a empty stomach almost everynight.
What to do?
For the sake of a slimer Princess,
I have to suffer now.
Habit
I have a weird habit.
Which is.
Whenever I am suppose to meet someone new,
as in,
a new friend or so,
or when I go out further than school,
or the market nearby,
I tend to put on make up.
I guess that is just my confidence ( or the lack of it) at work.
I am not someone who is very confident about her look.
Even if I may seems like a bimbo at times,
or someone who is super confident,
I am not.
I do not know the reason for this habit.
I talked to a friend about this.
She is someone who can go out with her friends in shorts and slippers and burps in front of them, new friends and old friends alike.
I guess I can never be like her.
I can never be as comfortable around people I do not know well just like she does.
However,
consolation is,
if I start to go out with someone without putting on any make up,
it means that I am comfortable going out with that person.
That excludes going to town.
=D

Thanks loads guys for coming by!
=D
Well,
the day started off with her Highness going for her driving lesson.
Discovered that those without their wisdom teeth is not as smart after all.
C=
Finished the lesson without any life-threatening mistakes/accidents.
Lucky for my instructor.
Met up with LP at Ngee Ann poly for the openhouse.
Wanted to take a look at the photos of a camp which we attended before.
Just to verify that we actually knew each other way back then.
C=
Sad to say,
we were unable to find the said pictures but the memories between us proved us right.
Hesitated about where to go after that because we are just 2 bored souls.Wanted to go for a movie,
but with my dilly-dallying skills,
we were unable to make it,
which,
was expected.
=D
Headed to town for some shopping.
He is one good companion,
he dished out some pretty good advices
and is very patient.
=D
And,
he is still single!
So,
any ladies *preferably born in the year of the rabbit*
want to get to know him,
just tag.
Back to our shopping,
did not do much because we spent too much time at the aquarium at Wisma.
2 dumb dumb were trying to take the “perfect picture” of Dorry.
Heh.
Went over to Kinokuniya to window shop.
Saw a really nice planner,
Puma,
White,
Sporty.
Too bad,
the only piece left is the display piece.
=C
Realised that we were almost late for meeting Lex,
headed off from there.
Without any purchase.
Met Godpa at the train station and we went ahead for dinner at Hans together.
RN was present too.
Quite a conversation took place at Hans,
the details shall remain a secret.
Heh.
After dinner,
headed over to Jbar,
where Joelle and Gavin were waiting,
by the candlelight.
Woohoo~
Made hell of a noise the moment we arrived.
Rn and I became the official
Ear tickler.
LP was the victim.
Heh.
Yunz and Cow came by later.
Because of her fatigue,
Yunz and RN left early,
but not without surprise,
which was revealed later on.
Robin, Goddess, Jean and Elshander arrived last.
The party began.
Everyone kept toasting the Birthday Girl till she was gone.
Went to the little girls’ room quite a few times to clear the alcohol.
=|
RN actually dedicated a song to me,
making Kelvin sing “Sway”
and I dance with it.
Throw my face can!
Luckily the guys helped out by partnering me.
=D
And,
everyone sang me a birthday song.
C=
In total,
4 song dedications,
being wrongly-assumed to be 16,
numerous uncountable toasts,
later,
I was almost a goner.
Luckily Robin was there to make sure I got home safely.
Thanks neighbour!
A lot of silly photos and fun that night.
Will not forget this celebration in the years to come.
Once again,
thanks everyone!
TAH!!
Due to sensitive issues,
some of them are unwilling to let me post their pictures here,
so,
lets make do with these:
1 of the many picture we took at Wisma.
One of the guys. *Ahem*
Princess and pretty Jean. =D
My beloved buddies!
The King and the Princess
Pretty Yunz and Princess
Joelle Hime and Gavin
Princess and Xue Jie

Memories
Almost a year ago,
I had HIM by my side.
Anticipating the day my birthday arrives.
This year,
I am all alone.
Looking forward to that particular day,
all by myself.
Only reason is,
I can meet up with all the people dear to me,
for dinner.
Rest of the day?
Most probably going window shopping alone.
19 seems like an unlucky number, no?

Confident ?
| You Have Low Self Esteem 4% of the Time |
