A Rainbow Deep Down In Your Heart

Mygod! Seriously hate the life I am having right now...... Weekdays spells boring, and now the weekends are equally boring. Can u imagine.. its a Saturday and I am stuck at home the whole day!! o.O I really can't wait for the holidays to come! Urgh, come to realise, I think its been SO long since I last stepped on the floor tiles of Orchard Road! grrrr~ And, haven't been shopping online for the past 2 weeks. Ok I think this is really a great effort put in ok.. to resist all temptations... really need to build up my capital to finance my coming USA trip. Just counted, so far I've spent 3.5k for my flights (including flights to LA, to Peru, and other miscellaneous internal flights), booking of hotels, tours, passes etc.. mylord...

It's...

$3500 OK AND I HAVEN ADD IN MY EXPECTED EXPENSES IN THE USA!!!!

So i reckon this whole trip will cost me around $4500 - $5000 after adding in everything... seriously am broke.

REALLY BROKE.

And to those who are thinking that this trip are financed by my parents, then u're so wrong!! I have to pay everything myself since the last time, everything and everything was paid by them. Hai.............

Ok on a side note, I would really love to stay in such houses - with beautiful bloomed flowers in all shades of colours surrounding my lil house, accompanied with a really cool big garden with even more flowers. I will have 1 or 2 really cute dogs and play with them at the garden whole day long. And then I will invite all my dear girls over, we shall bake cookies and have a garden party.

What's your dream house?

“There may not be a Heaven, but there is a San Francisco”

After a 6hours torturous drive............. we finally saw a highway leading us into San Francisco - one of the place I loveeeeee the most during my visit the other time.


Then we headed to the World's famous Fisherman Wharf Pier 39 :)))))) LUVZZZZZZZ~
I really dont know why, but i just really love being in San Francisco! I think because its one of the most tourist friendly place in California? Or maybe because of the reallllllllly gooooooood food? But maybe one thing i wouldn't like is that it is SUPER DUPER COLD??....... like.... REALLY REALLY COLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I stress again...
REALLY ULTRA MEGA SUPER COLDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD~













Shiok.

And then, you have seagulls flying all over above you... lovely!



cold wind cold air cold temperature everything so colddddd i am freezzzzzzing!!!! And I only brought one cardigan and 1 scarf out..... omg. I can almost feel myself turing into a block of ice =.=

Other than feeling cold, our stomach soon starts to feel real empty. So we hop around the whole of Pier 39 in search for a really good restaurant to eat. Everywhere smellssssssss so nice, you wont know exactly where the smell came from. Tsk. So of cuz... we went to the one flooded with most people :)

IT WAS SO DAMN GOOD I SWEAR! (makes swallow saliva sound)






OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG THE BEST CLAM CHOWDER IN THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE!!!!


The crab looks really small, but amazingly, it has tonzz of meat in it esp in the claws (which i named it the 'kiapkiap')... hmmmm~~ I wonder why..




Ok...... am REALLY freezing...
(PS: STILL WEARING SLIPPER SOMEMORE!!!!!!! TOES TOTALLY NUMBED!)






Amazing view + fresh air




Souvenir souvenir souvenir!!!

-------------------------------------------

Next destination... guess where we went to?!!??!?! It's one of the most famous sight/place in San Francisco!!
Got it!?
Well................... its the WORLD'S MOST ZIGZAG ROAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lombard street!

omg look at how zigzag the roads are!



(the 2 images above are taken from the net of cuz, i wonder how they took such shots... it was SO SO SO difficult to capture how 'zigzag' the roads are...)


This was my attempt.... totally failed i know. Nvm. I shall try it again the during the next visit... which is in... LESS THAN 1 MONTHS TIME OMGGGGG~ Great or what!!! <3


OHYEA... and one thing that i have to stress out... SAN FRANCISCO IS FILLED WITH AMAZINGLY PRETTY BLOOMED FLOWES!!!!!!!! Realllly so pretty your little heart will melt... ;)

-------------------------------------------

Then we headed to the next famous place in San Francisco! It is a place that u have to DIE-DIE MUST VISIT. If u never been there, its like you have never been to SF kind of thing..

And the place is......... THE GOLDEN BRIDGE TOWER!

And omgggg...... this place is hellllllllllllllllll cold!!!!!!!! My whole body was shivering.... my teeth like shivering and grinding.... and the wind enough to really BLOW you away. The wind is so strong its resisting your movement, and its so hard to walk against it. Until now, i can still remember taking pictures there was such a killer. Every 5 mins we have to run into the car, and blast full hot air to make ourselves warm again. Then head out to snap a few more pictures and rush into the car again to warm ourselves. Can kill.



Looking cold and pale and dead~

-------------------------------------------

Next we headed to one the most famous restaurant there. Really glad we knew where to go and what to try etc with the help of my dearest erjieeeee <3

The queue was so long we had to wait around 30mins-45mins for our turn... =.= So me and my aunt went out of the building to walk around the vicinity since there were so many famous and branded shops... So we came across a group of BLACKS performing music. I am really terrified y'know, even if they are good guys, their looks/build alone are enough to scare me off. And especially after knowing the fate of Annabel Chong...... Really scary.. Those who dont know about this girl, go google it!! ;)

Cheesecake factory definitely must be filled with delicioussssssszzzz cheesecakes!! And it came in all sorts of flavous! Never once in my life have i seen cheesecakes with so many flavours ok! And all looking equally delicious! It was such a hard time choosing which to try!






Really love the original New York Cheesecake.. I think its one of the best cheesecakes i've ever eaten in my whole entire life!! Yumzyumzzz~

-------------------------------------------

SF is also famous for its wine making, so we headed to Napa Valley to take a look!! It was just 0-k-a-y for me considering the fact that i dont drink and stuffs, so i was just there taking photos and walking around. Guess its more of a place for adults, for people who really knows how to appreciate such things.





lil unripe grapes!

-------------------------------------------

We headed to another WORLD'S FAMOUS SIGHT yet again... =.= It's Alcatraz. Heard of it heard of it heard of it?!?!?! Well i dint know of the place too until after knowing my itinerary for my trip, so i went to google and just sort of knew that it was an abandoned prison. Those who never heard of it too, go google google google!!! It's a really interesting place, really. But i think you really have to be there to 'feel' it....

Just a slight background on it... its approx 2.4km off the shore of San Frans and it was served as a lighthouse, a military fortification, military prison, and a federal prison until 1963. It was perpentually a 'living hell' for anyone who lives there. And Alcatraz was home to the worst criminals ever in USA. However now its a historic site opened to visitors.







The cells

So in Alcatraz, we are not being led by any tour guides or whatsoever, but by a recorded guided tape, so all we have to do is to get the tape recorder, put the ear piece into our ears and the thats how the Alcatraz journey begins........

So the recorded voices are from these 4 used-to-be-Alcatraz inmates.. And its really cool cuz in the recorded tape, u can hear people shouting... gun shots etc. U really feel like you're back then. Really cool!

How the cell looks like. The living condition is really.................................. the room is so tiny, look at the toilet bowl.. mylord. Totally turn off~

What used to be the library

10 carat diamond watch.. tsk!!!!

Read this following extract!! Interesting!

And so these 3 guys.. with the used of soup, cement and paint, made these 3 dummy heads. So smart of them eh... but i wonder if they're dead or alive.. What do you think?



Canteen..... menu for the day. (and according to the voice recorder... the menu its almost 90% same everyday. Mygod sad case)

Ohyea, think i forgot to mention, Alcatraz is another hellovaaaaaa COLD PLACE. COLD. COLD. COLDDDDDDDD.

-------------------------------------------

And after the Alcatraz tour, we headed back to Pier 39...

for some............

CLAM CHOWDER!!!!! yumtumtum!!!!

-------------------------------------------

We also visit Chinatown SF.. finally a place with more of our own race... hehe :)



Finally some good old chinese food~

So that was the 3D2N in San Francisco! I reallllllly cant wait to go SF with baby, i am sure we gonna have lots of fun, and esp eating... CLAM CHOWDER!!! Do u know where u can find this in Singapore? And reallllllly good ones? Let me know oki??? :)

p/s: Now i conclude photobucket really uploads suckyz photoz. See the last 3rd+4th photo (the small ones) are uploaded by photobucket, blur and ugly. The rest are uploaded by flickr and they are so damn great. Sharp and clear and amazing good colours (at least 99.9% true to the original files) so hurrrray for flickr!!!!!!

GOOD GIRLS GO BAD

So last Saturday was bestie's birthday celebration at........make a guess make a guess......
POWERHOUSE LA! Where else?! tsk! It's been SO LONG since i last stepped into phuture/zouk! Wonder how's the music over there now......well~~

Initially i felt really awkward? Like i don't even belong there? Firstly because everyone went on their own (including me) and i reached there a lil later than everyone else so upon reaching, i just felt like the entire world was staring at me as if i planted a mango tree on my head. =.= And u can hear that kind of silence......*crickets creeking away*, Secondly, i dont know 3/4 of the people there. And the worst - having people smoking beside me (totally hate it) so i really felt extremely out of place.
Not that i have a discrimination on people who smokes, its just that i really cannot tolerate the smoke smell, and obviously the impact of being a second hand smoker is really bad....

But luckily there are still 1/4 of the people (bestie's NAFA friends) whom i knew so really thank god for them!!! :)

And then the dresscode was BLACK~ So not surprisingly everyone turned out in black! So coolz. & the funniest?! Both me and luxuan were wearing so similar!! Like a black long tank top covered with sequinnzz.. (i was wearing the one i am selling, but note that the ones i am selling are BRAND NEW PIECES!)






Why i have red eyes :(

Anyway luckily bestie booked a table for our comfort!! At least there's a place for us to sit down when the music suckz, a place to rest after dancing continuously for 1374834082093 hours.... And when the clock strikes 12..........WHOOOOO ITS BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION!!

And so we had a birthday cake......
Pardon for very blurry shots from now on cuz i kept my camera in the locker so all i had was my lousy phone's camera :(





Happy only~




Even must dance while cutting cake???!?!?!


Abit more serious after getting scolded...... :p




HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEPHANIE TAN FANG QI!!!!
Welcome to the 19 AGE CLUBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB~

---------------------

Alrightzzz, so the next day, me and B head down to FEP for some window shopping! And to my amazed, nothing caught my eye that day :/ Like usually i would be.... "This one nice hor...", "Eh that one also nice!!!!", or "Eh super nice need to buy", and the next thing, $$$ flew away.
Perhaps everything that everyone is wearing now is getting very common? Bodycon Bodycon and more Bodycon esp black colour. All sorts of bodycon.... and then denim jacket, denim vests and what have you... And its like i have all of them already. No point buying rather similar things right!
Omg cant believe such words are coming out from my mouth........ hahahahah~ I think i am starting to cut down on physical shopping but my online shopping is........................ *beyond words*


(i looked so tired)

And then what you're bored, what will u do?!?!!
Continue shopping?
Sit down and rot?
Well for us..........its.........EATING!!!
So we went to try some North India Cusine!!! Its extremely shiok!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Looking at these pictures makes my stomach growl...... :( Ohwell, nvm! I gna have a seafood feast ltr on! ;)









Omg.......can feel the taste of the butter chicken now in my mouth......................... *swallows saliva* hahahahah!

And before i end off,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAJIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
YOU'RE DAMN DAMN OLD NOW SO PLEASEEEEEEEE STOP ACTING CUTE!!!!!!!

xoxo

BUSY BUSY WEEK

It's been sooooooooo long since i last updated this space!
Actually besides being REALLY BUSY.......... i am kind of losing the drive to blog. Like...... blogging frequently seems not to be one of my 'top' priority anymore, also accompanied by factors such as a lack of photos/boring lifestyle + weekend..... Sometimes i really dont know what to blog abt too!! So ya..... :(
Sad much :(

So anyway, last weekend was my jc class gathering + belated Hari Raya @ Atiqah's place, and i am really glad that many took the time off and turned up for the gathering! :)
Okay& actually till now, am still rather amazed+amused that there's a lift inside her 3storey bungalow ;O like really........ SOOOOO COOL RIGHT!

-----

Loadzzz of random pictures from now&then~

Hanabi Buffet a few weeks back!!!!!

Totally salivating!!! I want jap food for dinnnnnnnnnnnner!!

-----

& recently me and B went for a picnic @ ECP. Was totally looking forward to it but in the end i had a huge disappointment i guess........ :(

And knowing me, i will definitely throw some missy tantrum and then make a super BIG FUSS out of it and then quarrel and then threatening to ignore him for at least 1week which will always fail :( In the end i would always be the one contacting him first...... Just feel uneasy without him. Kind of used to his presence i guess.....

So hahaha, that was quite funny. Sometimes i really think i am a weirdo, like doing such weird stuffs? But then i am like always treasuring EACH AND EVERY OPPORTUNITY that comes by for us to quarrel because......... ITS REALLY DIFFICULT TO HAVE A MAJOR MAJOR QUARREL KIND WITH HIM Y'KNOW?!

I think i can count the no.of quarrels i had with him over the past 2years ++ with just one hand~

I seriously dont understand how he can tolerate someone like me for 2over years and not once throwing his temper on me. LOL~ I really do sometimes think my temper and attitude SHINGZZ u know. Btw, did u watch the new Ris Low interview?!?!?

SHINGZ~

BOOMZ~

NICE SALAD MADE BY MEEEEE~

-----

So this week was a REALLLY busy week for me because on Monday i had my English EPT Test, omg the written test is 100MCQ questions!! Imagine shading 100 ovals on the OAS!!! Can die!! And my hands are like frozen cuz of that freaking cold aircon! Just hope I'll pass, although i have a really bad feeling for my Oral. Goodness!!! How to do well when you're talking to a computer screen!?!?!?!? Something that dont gives u any sort of reaction&expression!? ARGH~ And well, tues-fri was the PSLE Marking Day.

I wasn't invovled with the marking of course, so i thought i could relax since i assumed the students are not coming back to school..but... :( they made the p5 students to come back for remedial lessons and suaysuay, i am a P5 level teacher so............. SIGHSIGH~

But my students are really sweeeeeeeet though, check out what they drew on the board for me!!

Hehehehehe so cute right!!!! These kids everyday in school haunting me with the same question..

"Teacher how old are you!!"

"Miss Yang add me on facebook lehhhhhhhh!! I want to see ur pet society!!!!"

"Miss Shenny!!! Where u buy ur heels from!! I want lehhhhhhhhhhh~~~"

LOL!

Alrightz. Gta go back to do marathon marking + taking of photos! Will be updating my online shop soon so stay tune! :) Stocks aren't chosen by me though so..... :( Arghhhhh some really not my kind but then again, not my kind doesn't mean its not your kind/ugly right!?

So just support ok!!! Will update again once everything is done :)

And i am so looooking forward to Stef's birthday celebration tmr!!!!!! See y'guyzzz byebyee!!!

************

(edit)
OMGGGGG~ Lee Min ho is coming to Singapore tmr!!!!!!!!! My gosh i am still very much in love with him, or rather, in love with the character Gu Jun Pyo~;) I think he's god damn handsome and his height and build....................................... *droolzzz* hahahah!!

So jealous of those girls who will be getting a chance to know him better... say...

1) the 100girls who will be having a party tgt with him @ St James!

2) the 10girls who will be having an exclusive Q&A session with him!

3) that freakinggggggggg 2 girls who will be spending private time with him!! OMGGGG!! Really h8 these girls...... :(

Well well well.... he's reaching Changi Airport at 12.30pm tmr via SIA, OMG! I feel like gg to the airport to catch a glimpse of him, should i should i? He's only going to be here for 2D1N (why such a short stay!!!) so i guess going to the airport is the best chance to see him real life... but then again, i can imagine the huge crowd in the airport with all the fans screaming, crying, fainting....

Ok shall think abt it. It's late, shall go sleep!! Tata~

(OMGGGGGGGG HE IS SO GOD DAMN HANDSOMEEEEEEEE~)

It's been almost 1year, WOW~

Yesterday while browsing around on facebook, I came across this video uploaded by some random mjc schoolmate on this year's Math Dept Farewell Video. I must say its damn interesting, and no doubt the Maths dept put up the best everytime! Still remember during my year, the math dept one too was so cool and i luv it!

COOL RIGHT?!

Then i went to Youtube to search for more videos, hoping to chance upon videos from the other dept, say..... CHEMISTRY~ But sadly, I cant find any :(
But anyhowz, i came across 2 videos put up by last year's math&chem dept :)
It just brings back loadzzzzzzzzzz of memories :))





One funny, the other touching, no?


Then i came across the college anthem too!! Hahahahahahaha omgggggggg its been so long since i heard this song!! I dont know why but hearing this very familiar tune again, it makes me feel very proud to be one once-upon-a-time-i-was-a-meridian kind of thing ;)

Miss those times we had tgt :(


















Not forgetting........ my dear girls from the volleyball team!



training days <3

HAIYOHHHHHHHHHHHH, looking through all these photos reminds me of the good-old-days we had, and also it somehow makes me sad too? Because now i am freaking old.. But that aside, i really really do miss school days back in MJC :( All the laughter and never ending cold jokes we had in class... No doubt I had loads of ups and downs during that short span of 2 years, and the fact that i really really hate the education system with so many tests and tests and exams and exams, but i guess that is what makes life in jc fun?
Like everyone going crazy together, pulling out hairs, excessive pimple outbreaks and all....... :)
And days when we have to cope between studies and CCA especially during the competition season, it was sucha rough time i have to admit, but i am glad i managed to make it through :)
And most imptly, Mjc was where i got to know my boyfriend ;) heheheheheeee

Okokkkkkkkkk, such a school-ish post.
Gotta go prepare now and head out to Atiqah's place!!! Having my jc class gathering over at Atiqah's place, not sure how many would turn up though but the feeling of seeing them after a loooooooooong time makes me really excited!!
Just hope there wouldn't be any awkward situation ltr. After all, its been really a very long time since i met up with them, and now we are all leading quite different lives so....................

K seriously need to fly!!!
Byeeeeeeeee~

The Return of Halloween Horrors @ Night Safari~

Advertorial
The Night Safari’s Halloween Horrors is back again this year and I was proudly invited by Omy.sg and Wildlife Reserves Singapore to experience The Return of Halloween Horrors at Night Safari last saturday! I was allowed to bring one partner along....... and so i brought my best friend (steffffff) with me! Both of us were damn damnnnn excited over this event, but i think she's more excited than i am because ITS HER 1ST TIME TO NIGHT SAFARI!!!!! ;)


We reached there kind of early like 7.30pm? So we were roaming around the reception area and busy taking photographs :)


My admission pass for the day :)



And then i think at one point of time, i was checking out the camera settings, and stef was using her hp i supposed, both of us were busy doing our own stuffs when i felt like there's a load on my shoulder............. then i turned to look at whats on my shoulder............... and to my horror................ the bloody ALADDIN just put his whole head and rest on my shoulder!!! And y'know, like u turn around and suddenly this big bloody disgusting face is just resting on u, oh man i just freaked out and kept screaming!! hahahah!!

And ever since this Aladdin came to scare me, i was being SO PARANOID the whole night, i get freaked out even over the slightest thing. Like...... even if its just normal passerby walking past me, i will jump one step back/shout&scream and heart pounding hahahahah!!! I think its damn hilarious!


This robot is funny>scary! heheheheeh and stef finds him cute! -.-







That night, Night Safari also had a performance and its really nice!! Enjoyed it alot :)




And then................. its time to experience the train of horror!
*screamzzzz*










But ok la, i find the ride still o-k-a-y, not THAT scary i find, because 3/4 of the time, the tram brought us to visit animals in the Night Safari. Photography wasn't allowed too so yea we were just enjoying our ride. Only thing was that the anticipation of being scared keeps building up until really cannot take it anymore because u never know when something would pop out of nowhere and grab your legs etc. Furthermore, the guide was speaking in a very ghostly manner, and those background music + sound effects, its enough to make your palms sweat!





We ended our Tram of Terror which lasted around...........30mins?
So we continued taking pictures with the halloween characters!


Dont like this Clown......... obvious right, i am standing so far away from him. He kept making this laughing sound which is both scary and irritating.


Wanted to try walking the Forest Giant Trails but my dear friend stef............... was very scared! She's like super scared after the tram ride already la, so i guess the forest giant trails is not suitable for people with a weak heart, like her! Ohwell.........


We sat this though so i guess that was enough :)


Pinocchio!

This special Halloween program and activities are available every Friday and Saturday for the month of October! Do come down and check it out, and most importantly, have a fun night with your friends! You can find out more at the official website -http://www.halloweenhorrors.com.sg/

**************************************************************

After the event, we went to Powerhouse for another round of fun!

But sadly, it was quite boring i feel :(

Saw Norwin too! Like everytime i go party nowadays, i see Norwin! =.= lol!

And B was so sweet, he came to fetch me home at like 5am y'know, and its all the way at harbourfront!! Luv luv <3

Ok that's all, having a bad flu now, and i am extremely tired.

Byebye! <3

PIPIPORPOR

There goes my eyelash extension~ So while i was bathing yesterday, clumsy me went to rub my left eye and before i know it, whats remaining of the extension on my left lashes dropped. And then i can't help laughing because when i looked at myself in the mirror, i look like some retard lah!!! My right lash extensions was still in their full force but yet all of the left side dropped...... And it was already 10pm at night, how am i supposed to go FEP/City Plaza to remove my lashes!!! So i had to make the worst decision, which is to self-pluck out all of my eyelash extensions on my right eye.... omggggg it was abit pain and i think i plucked some of my OWN eyelashes in the process..... :(

And now, i am feeling so lash-less! :(
Not good uh....... not thinking of putting eyelash extensions for the time being although i really love it alot because of the time saving factor, and it really gives the eyeliner+mascara effects effortlessly.....

OKKKKK, anyway i had a very good meal yesterday at Hanabi :) One of the best jap restaurant serving salmon sashimi, sushi and yakiniku!! Damn fattening......
Btw, recently i love hanging out around tampines area (tamp 1, tm, cs) or Ehub. Just sitting down in starbucks/coffee bean, surf the net, have a cup of coffee, and then doing some window shopping, and finally not forgetting, eating!!! Luv it! :) And yea, presentation is finally over and its like a whole load off my shoulder :) Glad i made it and passed!!
So now its relaxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx time~~

Alright looking forward to tmr, meeting my darling stefybaby :) We've got so MUCH to catch up!
Tmr will be a good day, it better be.

:D

(ps: Sorry i haven't been blogging much because 1) this week was one of a @#$%^&*() week 2) Din take any photos recently and i dont want a picture-less blog with alot of words becuz of u-know-what-reason right? So ok, promise a pictury post this weekend ok!!!!!)

PICTURES SPAM!

cannot stand my face in this picture














whats remaining of my eyelash extension~







Weekend this week was absolutely boring........ either i am hibernating & catching up on my sleep, or i am doing 2 powerpoint slides + 1 full written report. Urghhhhhhhhhh suckz to the max. Have a very important presentation coming up on tuesday... which is 2more days from now. Die die die........

So my weekend was burned out just sitting infront of the computer/laptop. Yesterday i went to Coffee Bean over at CS to continue doing my work....... urgh sian and then I was looking forward to my jc class gathering at Simpang ltr in the evening but it was cancelled last min :( And then itchy fingers just have to go pluck out some of the 'loose' eyelash extensions, and now almost half of each side is gone. Great~
Sad sad sad.......


And Changi Village again today for lunch. =.= Boring Singapore and a boring weekend....
But anyhowz, am SOOOOOOOOOOO looking forward to next saturday because i was invited to go to this event "The Return of Halloween Horror" @ Night Safari, and I am allowed to bring a partner so my partner for the night gonnaaaaaaaa be bestie!!!!!! Then after that, we shall go crazy at the dancefloor............... ;)

Plus I really hope i can start doing something again in 2weeks time and this time round it must be very very very successful.......... hurmmmm let's see let's see...

On a side note, Mum is forcing me to put braces again because being the lazy me, teeth is going crooked cuz i havent been wearing my retainer diligently. Ohwell~ I dont want to go through that pain anymore!!! Urghhh!!! Sigh shouldn't have ordered chicken wings today.
