Une fille comme moi

Sunday, October 26, 2008, 6:46 PM

I went out to eat at Kushinbo, a japanese restaurant that boasts its authentic japanese buffet. It's located in the "Osaka Street" of Jurong Point, where there are A LOT of japanese restaurants inside, such as Ichiban Sushi, ToriQ, Kushinbo and a lot of others. I feel that Kushinbo's food is simply sumptious and much tastier than Sakura and I love it for its authenticity. The food has been made very carefully and meticulously by the sushi chefs there and Kushinbo also has a much larger variety of food as compared to Sakura. There are sushis, raw salmon and tuna, 3-4 types of salads, clams, mussels, oysters, tempura, 3 types of soups, teppanyaki, soba, udon and also many other types of japanese food. Of course, there is also my favourite --- a wide variety of delectable dessert including the best mochi I've tasted, many types of donuts, chocolate fondue, japanese ice cream, japanese jelly, fruits, cakes,tarts and puddings. I guess that accounts for its steep price, $26.90 per person.

Me and my family went there to eat to celebrate my mum's birthday (: (Happy bday muma!)

The sushi chefts doing their work.

This is the best chawanmushi I've ever tasted. The texture of the egg was just all right, very soft and slippery, like it can just melt in your mouth. The crab stick, chicken bits and mushroom inside was cooked to the core as well.

The wide range of donuts! I didn't eat any ): By the time I tried out the other food, I was way too full and I seriously felt BLOATED.

The wide range of minitarts! I took one of these each.

I had NO IDEA I took so many photos of the dessert section and completely forgot about the teppanyaki and tempura section! OMG I seriously have such a sweet tooth.

It wasn't long before I strted grabbing all the delectable desserts and treats. I ate them all by myself! I'm such a glutton. But most of the time, after finishing all the yummy desserts, I'm always too full to eat any more stuff ): After a sumptious meal and an incredibly bloated stomach, I bought new adidas shoes for JC next year. They have the 3 signiture adidas stripes in pink on each side of the track shoes.

Then on friday night, me and jo went to Raffles City for the FCUK event organised by CLEO. It was quite interesting I guess. There were 5 female models and 3 male models. And the three poor male models all had to put on extremely heavy makeup for the Halloween occasion. So the poor handsome guys had to become a greenfaced frankenstein, a werewolf and an injured zombie or something. But I totally dig the clothes worn by the girls. There was this white tuxedo halter top that I really like, highwaist pinstriped pants, highwaisted flare skirts and some pretty dresses. Before the fashion show, CLEO's fashion director also came down to give a workshop on how to wear black to parties.

And after the fashion show, me and jo slipped out to shop at TOPSHOP's midseason sale. I tried on the above green satin dress in their fitting room, which was on sale as well, at $99.00. Love the cute flared out bottom and the structure cut of the straps and neckline, but it's just too expensive and too short for me. F21 has a very similar lookalike going at half that price, in both black and white colours. Feel like buying one but I have no idea where I would wear it to :/

I always have the urge to splurge now...

Anyway, I hope everyone enjoyed the pictures and drooled at the food ^_^

Give me a job so i can shop

My Shopping List:
- White lace frock
- Faux Leather jacket
- F21 figure 8 shift dress
- Highwaisted skirt
- F21 jumpsuit (maybe)
- F21 racerback tunic (maybe)

My Account Balance: $4900+ (of course, I can't spend everything on shopping, my mum will go bonkers if she finds out)

My income: $150 per month

I NEED MORE MONEY RIGHT NOW! Somebody give me a job!

Saturday's shopping spree with melly at orchard had been so fun! We should do it more often (: So far, I've applied to f21, cotton on, john little and some other retail firms that owns highend fashion labels like Zara, Diesel, DKNY etc. And none of them has replied. sigh.

I'm heading down to IMM later to apply at catchybag, which is a gift store like minitoons. And maybe I will go for a walkin interview at Ajisen Ramen as well, but to tell you the truth, I don't wanna get myself involved in F&B. I'm kind of disappointed that it's Ajisen Ramen that's hiring, instead of Ichiban Sushi. I want to helpout as a sales assistant breathing in the smell of clothes everyday, or maybe I can surround myself with soft squishy stuffies that I'd hug when nobody's looking, or maybe I can even be a tuition teacher to primary school kids!

Whatever it is, I just want to see more money in my bank account, which will be equivalent to more clothes in my wardrobe. Call me moneyminded or call me a clothes junkie, I just want a job NOW.

UPDATE:
I went to IMM just now and I got the job at Ajisen Ramen! Yay :D They pay $6/hr but the main thing I like about the job is that one shift is only 4 hours and there's no minimum number of days which I must work, meaning that I can still go and be an events model ^_^ I also enquired Fish&Co, but the IMM outlet is waiting for orders as to whether they are hiring or not, if they're not hiring, the nearest branch which I can go and work for is the one at Jurong Point. And Cafe Cartel is also hiring! I left my number with them.
However, catchybag is not hiring 16yearolds and Precious Thoughts are not hiring till the December holiday season.
BUT NEVERMIND! At least I got a job now! I'm going to paste notices all over my neighbourhood by this week advertising my tuition service xD

我自由啦！

昨天我的考试终于正式结束了，今天整天都无忧无虑，好久没有那种感觉了。昨天在考试结束后，我和Michmich, Haidee, Qianwen and Jojo一起到Plaza Sing去看《画皮》。在观看电影之前我们到SPOTLIGHT去闲逛，它哪里买的东西真的是应有尽有。

我认为《画皮》这部电影还算不错，虽然电影中有妖魔鬼怪打打杀杀的片段，不过总的来说，电影中围绕着一个温暖的主题：爱的真谛。最喜欢的是将军在妻子佩蓉临死之前所说的一些话，我在看电影的时候不禁想如果我以后真的遇到一个可以为我牺牲生命的男人，那我真的会无比的幸福。不过我想在现实生活中，这样的情形实在不太可能。难道真的有愿意为妻子付出一切，在妻子变得如妖怪一样还深爱的男人吗？我有点不信。

画皮的海报好漂亮喔！我觉得陈坤实在好帅气哦！周迅虽然在《画皮》中演的是妖怪，不过我还是觉得她比赵薇好，因为她小巧玲珑，长得非常秀气，少了章子怡的霸气，不过演技又很不错。还是不叫喜欢周迅。哈哈。

在电影之后看到Dorothy Perkins现在有SALE。唉，实在好想购买，不过一件连衣裙还是买个60块，好贵 D：之后又到m)phosis看到那件漂亮的黑裙子，实在太好看了。不过黑色的已经卖完了，只剩下褐色，一件还卖$63.90。我以后的人生目标就是去赚大钱，从今再买喜欢的衣服之前再也不用担心价钱太昂贵，自己买不起！以后真的好想买highend的昂贵商品，如Chanel，Gucci，Prada等牌子。^_^

The End

Enfin, demain sera le dernier jour des mes examens. La fin de mon école secondaire. La fin de toutes mes peines et de larmes et le début de ma liberté temporaire. Parce que j'aura le GCE O Level pour francais et chinois. Mais je suis très heureux. Je peux finalement partir de 4 ans de routine et passer en 2 ans de nouvelles routines. Ah bien, un changement est toujours bon et un changement vient toujours avec une fin à un nouveau départ.

Demain, après ma examen mathématiques, je peux aller au cinéma avec mes amis et faire ce que je veux. Je ne peux pas l'attendre!
(PS: Melly, nous devons pratiquer beaucoup de francais pendant nos vancances, d'accord? Surtout pour l'oral, je veux améliorer mon oral. Et je regrette un peu que j'ai oublié de inscrire(sign up) pour le B1. Mais je pense que je peux le faire l'année dernière.)

OMG Je suis vraiment si content (((:

Meltdown

Tuesday, October 14, 2008, 2:46 PM

I'm so so so tired, both physically and mentally. I just feel like plopping down onto my bed, curling up to sleep and never wake up. This year's EOY felt so much more stressful and uncertain. Unlike the previous years when I can say that I can get above 72% for overall, this time I really have no idea because the school decided to pull me out of my comfort zone which I have been in for 3 years. I really don't know what kind of results I will get, and I'm worried about physics, bio and chinese. These were the papers that made me feel really sad after doing them. Sure, my friends all said the papers were hard and they had a hard time doing everything too and they claim that they did worse than me, blah blah...But I just don't feel encouraged or motivated or more comfortable. I feel like I'm in the middle of nowhere. It's like...I'm a small little pencil mark in the middle of a big vast piece of blindingly white paper...almost like I'm floating in the middle of nowhere.

Yes I know that I won't ever ever have to touch physics again next year. But that doesn't mean it's going to do miracles for my physics exam ): I feel ashamed that I can't even be certain whether I'm going to get a A1 for bio, or whether I can do well for chinese even though I speak chinese everyday with my parents, or whether I can really have a MSG of above 2.00. Right now I feel like I'm going through my emo sec 2 days all over again D: That's not good. I'm supposed to be past that already. I'm supposed to enjoy my last year in Nanyang before moving on to hc next year. My life has too many suppositions and much too many uncertainties. It makes me feel alone and insecure.

Truth is, I'm scared. I don't know what I will get and I can't even see whether I'm going to do well or not. Did I really work so hard and try my best like that time when I was 12 and sitting for the biggest exam of my life? No. So does it seem really foolish if I didn't try as hard and whine only now?
I think I'm going to lose my head soon.

I'm so fed up!

ARGH. Is revising for my exams sersiously so impossible?! I'm so damn pissed now. Right from I woke up this morning until now, my considerate neighbourhood has been seriously SOOOOO cooperative =.=

In the morning, there was irritating drilling sounds. God knows why they are doing renovation on a saturday morning. After the drilling sounds ended, I have a moment of peace before there was some random neighbourhood activity that involved cheesy songs like Lao Shu Ai Da Mi, loud ambulance wails, a noisy and lame emcee and a speech by Mrs Yu-Foo Yee Shoon. And now this. Some crazy lady somewhere in my neighbourhood wailing her head off singing disgusting Hokkien songs in some opera like style, with her volume loud enough for the entire neighbourhood.

What's wrong with these people?! If they want to have an activity on a weekend, can't they at least be considerate and lower their f**king volume?!?!?!?! This is so infuriating. If that lady doesn't stop emitting noise pollution, I'm going to march over there later and give her a piece of my mind. Doesn't she understand that the entire neighbourhood does NOT need to hear her disgusting songs? People have important things like exams to prepare for!

Damn her. I'm so damn pissed now. My mum suggested going to the library this morning but all my stuff is at home and I do not want to go the lib carrying a tonne of papers :/ God, this is so shitty. This, is a good example of a "overly polite person" like what the Straits Times, Life section article mentioned. I hope that woman suffer from some gross skin disease tmr. ARGH.

No more, no more

DISCLAIMER: don't read this post, it ain't meant for you.

I just want to get through this year successfully and go on to hci next year, is that so hard? Can't you just give me a little peace for once? Go somewhere, where ever, just get out of this house if you want to yell. Damn you stupid people.

I'm really really trying so hard everyday, can't you see me struggle you? Why don't you try being me for one day? People always expect me to be clever and do well and live up to their expectations or whatever shit. YOU KNOW WHAT?! That is not MY expecatations. So quit expecting. I won't do as you say. I live my life the way I want it to be. I decide whenever and whatever I do. So you just scram and stay out of it. Quit meddling my life and making it worse. Quit sulking all day long. Quit yelling at me. You f**king dumb shit.
Parents are stupid and childish. They should never ever have kids if they still behave like kids everytime and squabble over stupid things. Screw you and screw your worthless job. Keep your big mouth shut when you don't even have any abilities at all. Damn you.

Please. NO MORE. NO MORE! i.cant.take.this.shit.
