K Queen

been singing a lot lately (so it's not 'hao lian' to say i'm K QUEEN hor! :P)...sing my hearts out in karaoke rooms...sing while walking home...sing while bathing...not becos i'm in a good mood...but i juz discovered many nice nice songs recently...hehehe...tat's y lazy to blog...hohoho...

talking abt singing...i had 'cross-border' singing sessions in consecutive 2 weeks...once in johor (smthing new!) & once in s'pore (kbox lahZ!) let me yak on the johor singing session 1st...it was few weeks back where my colleagues decided to hold a 'early' farewell party for me...they knew i like singing (they also noe i like Fei Lun Hai a lot! hAH)...so they introduced me to 'Red Box' in johor...it's similar to KBox...shld say both are on par (but i think RedBox is cheaper & they can let u sing longer if there were few customers!)....first of all...it's actually a buffet package...so can eat & sing all u can! hahahz...the room & tv screen are huge but of cos...we got 10 ppl mahz...hahaz...probably becos my singing mode was switched on...i kept hogging on the mike...but luckily they liked my singing (or surprised to find my singing & speaking voices differ so much!?!)...phew! I also realised tat my manager has a very roustic (izzit the right word to use?) voice...tat suits oldies...very very nice...her vibrato is good! hahaz...all the eating & singing for approx 4hrs...less than S$25...it's worth it...maybe i'll go there again next time!

2nd singing session was last sat with ping & ong...this time we ventured to a new area...clementi kbox outlet...wow...the rooms are better than expected...tv is also bigger...hahaz...we took KStudent package and sang for a whooping 5 hrs! (2pm to 7pm) damn fun cos we challenged ourselves with crazy rap songs to crying ballads...plus munching the ever exp titbits...(ping & ong are picky on the titbits...hahahz...i juz ate the remainder...:P) we had a super fun time together as usual! gonna go kboxing soon again arh!

while ppl are going korean drama crazy...i'm weird enough to go back into 'japan drama frenzy' (there was a period when jap dramas were popular!) ...thanx to ong for snapping my patience by telling me the youtube webbie for the hana yori dango jap drama...so i cnt control myself to wait for the stock (i wan to buy part 1 but it's out of stock!) to come so i went to catch in on net...u muz think i'm crazy to watch hana yori dango (btw it's actually meteor garden...) cos the plot & story will be the same as the taiwan version or even anime...yes the plot is the same but the filming style & sequence ( & of cos the cast..hehe) are different...i thought it'll be a bit sian but i was completely addicted lehz...so i fell in love with the plot once more...it's like a classic...the OST is great...cast is great ( luv hanazawa rui!!!!! doumyoji is funny!) now tat i finished both season 1 & 2 in less than 5 days...(i finished season 2 in 2 days!) this goes to show this drama is really worth watching if u are a meteor garden fan....i even cried at some scenes becos there seemed to be many obstacles to overcome in the jap adaptation...so try to catch tis drama!

alright...here comes the burning question...wat's my final choice for uni? hahaz...i thought of 2 analogies in the situation tat i'm in right now...choosing either uni is like a tug of war in my brain...both unis are pulling in opp directions while the winner will be the one who gets the red cloth tied in the middle to their side...or a funnier analogy is tat i'm in a meteor garden situation...being shan cai...to choose dao ming si or hua ze lei???? hahaz...i think i wasnt in a right state of mind when it comes to this matter...but most probably...i will choose nus sci (90%)...cos i dun think my character suits the corporate world afterall...i gave much thought abt it...it's like ntu business is very appealing but deep down...my heart seems to prefer nus somehow...dunno y lehz...so i'm going with my feelings (forsaking my frens again!)...hahaz...so i seriously wan to noe who's choosing nus sci? I need company & some courage lahz! (cos most of my frens are flooding to ntu! ahhhh! y am i the odd one out???)

still got 7 working days to endure before i become officially jobless (unemployed shld be a better word!) can slack liaoz...but izzit really very lazy of me to slack for 2 mths before sch starts? i dun think so lehz! :)

Yoz ppl...i got some hot hits to recommend!

indulgence *muack

i've planned something special for myself...hehe...something like 'monthly indulgence'...whereby i will splurge on exp stuff tat i like...hohohoz...cos tat's my initial purpose for getting a job...to pass time & to enjoy life...with cash... :)

i'd been stingy for the past few mths...cos i juz hate to see my bank acct depleting...now i understand the true meaning of 'hard-earned' cash...& i noe it's impt to save some money of uni expenses...but wat's the pt of working so hard when u cnt even use the money...it's not as if u are throwing money into the drain...it's for urself anyway...so now i decide to spend when necessary...so i can enjoy & save at the same time...gotta train ourselves on 'finance management'...wahahaz...but still...occasionally indulgence will not become a sin! we have to be pampered mahz! (esp if u got stressful jobs!)

yeah yeah! went to watch spiderman 3 with ong at GV Plaza on sat (my second movie in the cinema for tis yr...hahahz...i'm not a cinema-goer)..it was quite good...i'll give 4/5 for rating...hehe...u can say i'm biased cos i always luv spiderman movies since 1st installment...for this 3rd one...the special effects are great...cast is great...the plot (more on relationship development) is predictable & not tat draggy...i think it's worth the ticket price...so if ya wanna catch a movie...go try spiderman 3! (go spidey!)

after the movie...went to shop around with ong...haiz...ong was searching for speakers while i'm fretting over wat farewell gifts shld i buy for my colleagues...it's really a headache cos i need to buy for quite a no. of ppl...everyone juz treat me so nice...cos they actually planned a farewell party cum karaoke session at JB (yes....johor bahru! they noe i like to sing/crazy over fei lun hai...hehez!) juz for me! I'm very touched cos almost the whole dept is going...for my sake? (cos i'm juz a temp staff!) hahaz...maybe it's also a great opportunity for these perm staff to have a fun gathering! (foster bonds!) but really...great thanks!

ong & i talked abt uni stuff again...and reality finally struck...i'm offered a place in the science faculty of nus (yesh...the admission letter has arrived...i was psychoed after reading the materials given...hehez...so it's 'decision' time...yikes!) throughout all this time...we have been pyschoed from diff areas...family& friends & even the unis...so it's really hard to choose when u dun really have a definite area of interest (somebody like me...hehe...or shld i say i'm fickle-minded!) i noe it's immature & probably disgraceful of me to cnt even decide for myself at this age...tat's my major setback...indecisiveness...so i really envy ppl who pursue their interest...cos up till now...i dun even noe wat i really like...

maybe i shld have thought of selecting courses earlier...but who noes i'll score respectable grades? (i dun mean fantastic grades arh!) i always have the mentality tat 'as long as a uni accepts me...i dun care wat course i take' so i didnt think much in the end...now tat i get the privilege to choose...things get more complicated...there were times tat i'm really fed up with myself...haiz...but courses doesnt really matter now...cos when i chose sci for nus/bus for ntu...i knew i cld study either one of them...so it comes down to the uni selection which is the biggest headache...(mum-nus fan, me-half, frens-majority ntu fans) i'm really ok with anything...tat's y i'm easily psychoed...wahahaz...so i decided to bring my mum along with me for 2 high tea sessions...one in nus and one in ntu (yep i'm going for ntu high tea again...) so after all these high tea sessions...maybe a final decision will come by naturally for sure...aiyahz just get over & be done with! :)

talking abt ntu business/accountancy high tea....went with ong last week...the talk was rather useful as we got more info on wat the course is like...ong & i toured around the campus on feet...omg...the place is huge...and there are so many stairs...(really can lose weight when travelling around campus...no wonder dun have PE lessons anymore...hahahz) we wanted to try out the canteen food but all stalls were closed...so we got ourselves toasted sandwiches from vending machines...(ok lahz...we are sua gu...cos we got fascinated by sandwich vending machines...esp me...hehe)...haiz...but not worth the money lehz...got cheated by the nice delicious pictures...the whole environment is good though....

haiz...enough yakking abt my dilemma...wanna think abt my indulgence next mth...this mth was a new wallet...so next mth will be VCDS/DVDS/COMICS! hahaz...cos gonna be jobless liaoz...so wan to spend time watching all the dramas/anime & reading comics...hehez! hahaz...and also the start of *gulps* 'Lose the calories' programme-supervised by my mum & bro & frens...cnt drag anymore...hehe...byes to the fat fat van.... :P
