Another week has gone by and CNY is drawing to a near….
It doesn’t feel like it though….
this year’s CNY is filled with rituals but none of it means anything….

my goodies from VS have arrived!
Dad had them sent to the house instead of Houston….
which is a lot faster then usual….
L.O.V.E
got the new catalog…..
heeee…..
I wanna get like a whole heap of things!!!!!!!
SG has opened one outlet in Sentosa but I’m contemplating if it’s even worth the trip….
firstly…. I have to pay to get into Sentosa and then the prices for VS items are probably jacked up twice…..
shipping them over here is still cheaper….
wOhOO! 

I don’t know how much more careless mistakes I can do for maths anymore….
I study for it like mad but yet…. sigh….
it’s hard not to feel discouraged…..
I just hope I do better in Quiz 2 then 1.
Skipped 2 class this week…
OooPsss…. just wasn’t in the mood….
my week’s been mundane and a drag…

been having a horrible week actually…..
well…. for the most of it…. 
Had lunch with mum on Monday though…… 
i haven’t been home much to eat dinner or what not….
so I called her to ask if she wanted to have lunch with me…
went to Nanbantei @ FarEast…
Love that place…. 
been going there since Secondary School and I always order the same thing…
hahaha….
ash! we should go there some time!

went to bugis on Thursday with B…..
she wanted to go SimLim so we had lunch across of Bugis….. Minced Meat Noodles!!!
B said it was really good….
tired it… and gawwd….. it’s yums….. 


caught 14 Blades….. 
I’ve never watched so many chinese movies in 4 months…..
But it was ok….
better than the last 2 we caught….

Adeline took us to this Thailand place at Shaw Towers….
it was not bad… cheap too

Lime Juice


Some pandang wrapped chicken that is awww… so good…..


Hor Fan


Phat Thai

 
TomYam….. not hot AT ALL but nice and sour….

got a call from Sa last night…
WwEEeeee!!!!!!!
missed talking to her….
haven’t e-mailed her yet cause my yahoo a/c is shit…
so glad she called….. 
cramps…
work…
shit… 

it hurts when words are thrown around weightlessly….
used so loosely….
but when it hits the person,
it hurts like daggers…..
it’s worse when the words were said out of anger….
and not meant…..

I’m glad the storm’s over….
love you B.

got so bored, we played truth or dare…
……………
and then attempted to fly the kite….

it’s awesome to meet up with friends I barely see anymore…
wait a minute…. i actually barely see the 2 boys anyway….
but what’s best is that it doesn’t matter how often we see each other…
the bond is still there….
they’re just the best…

the show was ok….
but i just love shows surrounding Biblical events & references….
it’s the kinda show that I’d say…. it’s not too bad a show to spend $7 or $8 on….
 the one thing I don’t like about this show is that everyone dies except for the girl & boy…

Anderson Cooper and his team went down to Haiti to cover the chaos that was occurring there…. people were looting stores…. the robbers were being robbed…. and in the mids of it all, Anderson Cooper saw a boy get hit by a brick or some sort thrown from the roof of a building and saved the boy. 

We were covering another story when we heard shots being fired. We ran toward the sound and found a store being looted. Two Haitian police officers were occasionally firing into the air to try to keep order, but that only worked for a few moments, then the looting would begin again.

They were stealing boxes of candles. An American businessman named Tony who owns two stores nearby barricaded one street to keep looters away. He had armed the two Haitian police with automatic weapons, and they were assisting him, but they were not able to control anything beyond their barricade.

It quickly became a free-for-all. Young men began fighting one another for the stolen items. A number of young men had knives, and planks of wood, screwdrivers and rocks. They were using their improvised weapons to threaten and injure others who had stolen items from the store. The robbers were now being robbed. One group of looters whipped another man with a leather belt. They punched him as well, and they stole the sack of goods he’d just stolen.

I was in the midst of the melee with Charlie Moore, my producer, Neil Hallsworth my cameraman, Vlad Duthiers, my translator, and there was a still photographer from Getty Images with us, photojournalist Jonathan Torgovnik. As things got really out of control, I saw a looter on the roof of the store they’d broken into throw what I think was part of a concrete block into the crowd. It hit a small boy in the head.

I saw him collapse. More chunks of concrete were being thrown at the looters on the roof. The injured boy couldn’t get up. He’d try and then collapse again. Blood was pouring from his head. He was conscious but had no control over his body. I was afraid someone on the roof would see him lying there and throw another cinder block piece onto him. I was afraid he’d get killed. No one seemed to be helping him.

I ran to where he was struggling, and picked him up off the ground. I brought him to a spot about a hundred feet away. I could feel his warm blood on my arms. I stood him up, but he was clearly unable to walk. He wiped his bloody face, and I tried to reassure him. He had no idea where he was, and he clearly couldn’t walk, so I picked him up again and handed him over to someone behind that makeshift barricade. Tony, the American businessman, gave the boy a wet towel. He was then taken away by someone else. We don’t know what happened to him.

I hope he’s ok.

I really admire AC & his team….
oh my gosh….
i can’t imagine NEWS without him… 

there is a video too, of thw situation…. go check it out….  In the Midst of Looting Chaos

2nd week of school and it’s….. sucky….
went for BC last night…
awesome workout!!!!
went home to bathe and headed out to meet Ben…
had an unexpected call from him so early in the night….
brought alcohol for him to drown his sorrows…
TOTALLY forgot to msg ash to tell her I couldn’t make it on Skype…
SOOOO VERY SORRY!!!! 

met Ruth at Serangoon station to head to Istana Park….
we went to lend Ben a listening ear….
while listening to him… one drop of water hit us…
and then………… heavy down pour….
like like like…… WTH!?
got soaked… & it was freakin COLD
but not as soaked as Ben…
the stupid boy left his socks in the rain…
ran back out to get them…. barefoot…
he made Ruth carry his wet smelly socks to the cab!!!!!
we cabbed down to Liang Court Mc cause Ben & Ruth were hungry….
headed home at 2am….

woke up earlier than i wanted to….
had to meet Ruth to see the advisor….
OMG….
that woman wasted my freaking time!!!
she doesn’t seem to even know what  she is doing!?!?!?!
AND what help… seriously…. what help is she??
she sounds like she doesn’t even care if we know anything…
her answer to everything???
“It’s all online in your student portal, go look for it”
“You have to go and download it yourself and look at it.”
“Download your DARS report and then show it to me”
“It’s all in your DARS report”
“You should have email it to me. No, I won’t let you download it now. I don’t want you to touch my computer.”

The woman is of no help at all….
I’m sorry but she’s sooooo USELESS!!!
Even her advice is unsupported…. 
the previous advisor gave us reasons to why we should take and drop certain modules…
like give us examples and scenarios as to what happens if we do not heed her advice…
alternatives… etc…
We were shown on her computer how certain things are suppose to look like, so that we could go home and do it ourselves….

THIS CURRENT woman is expecting us to know where everything is and how everything works….
Please…. she has to remember that this is our 2nd sem (1 sem = 4mths) & although we know some of the things about how UB works and all…
we do not know EVERYTHING!!!

Thank my lucky stars I went to see the previous advisor several times before she left….
the only thing I need to learn is how to read the DARS report…

ANYWAYS….. lunch with hubby & sy on Sunday???
BUT it’s at 11am….
a bit early for me…
i super lazy now…
wahahaha….. 
but I haven’t seen sy for a loooooong time balls…

From the beginning of the film, Michael Oher  (played by Quinton Aaron),
