Week 10. Blasted.

I WANT MY XIAO LONG BAOS. Week 10 in school is horrible.. having to go back to school everyday for meeting is no fun. And it is so hard to study when the people around are making the environment so unconducive. Guys bitching at the top of their voices (a SMU phenomeneon), couples gg lovey-dovey beside me and giggling at financial graphs.. Cough cough.

Last weekend was fun though. Celebrated RX's bday at JB. We had crabs and other seafood, and played games using mantou(s). We had a total of 48 mantous, a plate of bittergoud with eggs, salted prawns with eggs, and a plate of plain rice as the 'punishment' for the loser in the game. RX's stomach was so bloated, he looked like he is about to float up to the sky like the Aunty dunno-what in Harry Potter.

I can't wait for this week to be overrrrr..

Tribute to Gigi ( 2 years 4 months)

Gigi passed away last night around 1am.

Was clearing her cage as usual, when i saw her lying in a corner breathing very heavily. So I thought its time to change her bedding, but then she stumbled out of the corner, and ran out of the cage into the toilet roll outside. I tapped her toilet roll and call her name, then she came out and lay down in a corner of the box..

And then she started tumbling , and each tim she tried to get up, she stumbled and stumbled. Again, again. And again. And I knew then, that she wasn't going to make it through the night.

So I picked her up in my palm and held her against my chest. I can feel her laboured breathing ( I finally understood what books mean when they say laboured breathing), and for the first time in her life, she didn't struggle or squirm in my palm. She just lay there, curled up while I stroked her fur.

She kicked a little a few times, very weak and feeble attempts to get up, but she still tumbled everytime. Nick was beside me, and then I saw her taking very, very deep breaths. Her mouth was gaping like a fish out of water, and I turned to Nick and asked him to see what is happening. I only turned my head for a second, 2 seconds at most, and then she just stopped breathing altogther.

My eyes widened and I just stared at my hamster in my palm.

I cried the whole night. She was such company to me and she had a lot of will to live. Even a few hours before she passed away, she was eagerly getting sunflower seeds from me and running about on my palm.

I hope you are having a lot of fun in hamster heaven, Gigi. At least you no longer have to care about your diabetes or cataract, and you can eat all the sunflower seeds in the world. I wised I could have fed you your favourite grapes before you left. Im going to miss you a lot.

Some people pisses me off.

I met really weird people in school this semester. There's this guy in my group who is just.. social-phobia/lack social interaction/plain dumb. There are 5 of us in the group, and I am the only one from the Sch of Social Sciences. I dunno where the rest come from. Never mind, cuz i can get along quite OK with one of the girls. I don't know the other 3 members, so during break time, he was standing next to me while waiting for the rest to collect their food.

We stood side by side in silence for about 10 seconds, staring straight ahead. And I thought it was pretty stupid, cuz he's gonna be my groupmate, so might as well get to know him rather than stand there in silence, which was becoming increasingly uncomfortable.

Me: So, what's your name? ( Smiles)

Guy: XXXXX. ( Stares ahead at the millions of air molecules in front of him.)

Me: ( Waits a few seconds for him to introduce himself more, or simply, ask back what is my name which is standard protocol, but apparently nothing happens.) Oh.. ok, so... are you in the same school of XXX as the rest of the group?

Guy: Yeah. ( stares ahead, maybe the air molecules were doing fascinating stuff like dancing cha-cha in front of his eyes or something)

Me: ......

What a strange person. sian, this type of groupmate.

Happy Birthday to Me :)

And so, my birthday celebrations are officially over.SObs. 22 year old DUCK!

Rx was a sweetie, he planned my birthday outing :D We went to Upper east coast road for dinner at Werner's Oven


Its a German restaurant and like 75% of their stuff was pork. Pork sausages, pork knuckles, pork chops.. my hair smelt like pork when we left the restuarant -.-

We ordered the cripsy Pork Knuckles! Came with German (sour)cabbage and mashed potatoes that tasted... German. Lol.. The pork Knuckle was HUGE. I can't believe the waiter told me ONE person could finish it -.-

German Beer.. not bad. Not too heavy.



Took a cab to East Coast Park for a walk after dinner.. and I had a cute ice-cream cake ( Rx version) LOL. See my 'candles' made out of Fries?


Some soccer games that took place on my birthday.. Interestingly enough, all 4 games resulted in a draw that night. hee hee.


It was a lovely birthday (^_^) Simple and comes from the heart. Thanks for making it a memorable night baby!! muacks..

And for my celebration with the girls! Manhattan Fish Market serves pretty good prawns, but lousy calamari. lol.. Thanks for the birthday present girls! And to Mel for being the photographer for the night! :DD


Went to Marina Square with mummy after school on friday.. We had to use up the John Little vouchers that were expiring soon. She took soooo loooog to choose her shoes, and when she finally did, the salesgirl said they didn't have her size -.-. Well, at least they were having some of the shoes displayed at the atrium, and after ransacking the whole pile of shoe boxes, we found her size. 18 hours straight of wearing my contacts.. wanna die ar. My legs were so darn tired, I had to apply counterpain cream and rub them cuz the bone ( not muscles!) was dead stiff. :( I am becoming an old lady.
