The Crazy Year is Coming to a Close

December is a lazy month for me to be updating, I'm still so tired from all the happenings since I returned from Vancouver. Just a teeny bit of what I remember doing.

1. Wine Connection date with the boys
2. 1 for 1 Wed at Wavehouse
3. Wavehouse 1st year anniversary
4. Zouk party with friends
5. Girls' Night out at Arena
6. Bali Vacation
7. Zoukout

I've converted to become a teetotaller since event No. 4. It was one hell of a bad experience.

And I love Bali so much!!! I stayed in a villa with a private pool, so I went swimming, then surfing on the beach, then riding a moped around town, seafood dinner, fastfood meals.... and had a 'butler' who came in to cook breakfast for us!

Though now I'm suffering from peeling skin due to over tanning - I think I fried my skin, I'm sporting a super dark tan now.

Oh and by the way, I'd recommend you to take KLM to Bali if you find a budget airline ticket sets u back about SGD170++. I got mine for SGD180 return, and had a good meal (requested for seafood meal) of fish fillet and potatoes, free flow alcohol (nope i didn't, i swear), spacious leg room and in-flight entertainment which was worth the money.


I should've taken a pic of the food inside too, but I was too hungry to think. And the wine is not mine. I'm allergic, hah!


i watched despicable me and 27 dresses, while the boys played tic rac toe with each other. oh there's sex and the city2 too, but i watched that on the singapore airlines flight from San Francisco earlier.

When I did my booking, the budget airlines were selling return tickets for SGD180 - 240, and you get juice, peanuts, crampy seats and smelly young punks as cabin crew. So yeah, topping up a lil bit more can be wayyy worth it. Don't mind me unless you get your tickets for SGD50 return then that's okay.

And then there's zoukout, I sure am bloody too old for such things. I've said it again and again, but this time it's for real, I am never ever going again. The crowd was young and horrendous! I hear young girls wailing 'don't push, don't push' and I wanna punch the lights out of them(It also doesn't help that I'm a fresh convert). Unless of course if Rachael Starr or Edward Maya is spinning then I might reconsider.

The Budget Buster

i wished i did, but no i didn't.

I went shopping here twice and each time, about one grand spent, but mostly gifts though. Everything was super cheap, and 2 days there definitely wasn't enough.

The first time kinda sucked though, did you notice the Canadian flag? Well if the flag is there then why do Canadians have to be charged Duties and Taxes when they buy stuff here? I was fuming for a bit at the border, the duty and taxes came up to about CAD228.

Or is it because we are Asians and that annoying officer was retarded and thinks that Asians couldn't shop a lot and he's frigging jealous?

Or is it because the border was kinda empty and they decided to do some work so that they seek some form of entertainment on screwing Asians,

Or probably they just got screwed by their officers for not doing work?

The 2nd time, we went to a different checkpoint on the border, and the cute officer just checked our passports and waved us in. And hell yeah it was ghostly empty, it was close to 1am.

My Heart Stopped..

...at the sight of these pretty things! The cakes are really as good as they look.

There's a plethora of cakes and cookies at this store in the Public Market on Granville Island, which is also littered with chocolate boutiques. And this market is right beside Emily Carr Uni. Such divine horror!

A Brief Hello To Makati City

I really have to say business class on Philippine Airlines is equivalent to the economy class on Singapore airlines.

Up West, and Up North.

Amongst us are destroyed hearts, weakened by a lack of control, softened by those who are learned - the ones who manipulate, and avenge.

The learned, as they have learnt, seek destruction as conquests, and the weak, oh the weak.

The weak can see, have observed, but never learn, and this throws them into a dungeon deep within the ground for all others to heel and to toe.

And then there are the saviours, who seek justice. Who were weak but then learned, who can decipher the games of the manipulators and avengers. They seek justice and truth, and yearned to help the destroyed hearts to give them hope for life and living.

But more often than not, the destroyed hearts, they turn into animals, like those with ears spread out wide like a plane, legs short that kicks dead, and then bite the saviour his helping hand like a dog so mentally ill.

Now all saviours, they have gone, and hope, they are just mythical stories of times long past.

The Utterly Long Post That Has Been Shortened

A crazy chain of events since the last update,

1. Got married to my supposedly high school sweetheart on 10th July 2010.

2. Finally get to leave my torturous job.

3. Application for study permit was rejected due to ludicrous reasons.

4. Sold my car, Husband sold his.

5. Went to Canada anyway to check out the place, the school, people, environment. Have been here for a month and will be for the next 2 months.




I'm living a crazy life right now. Til next, soon, i promise.

Saying Hello to Emily Carr

I got accepted into Emily Carr University of Art + Design in Vancouver, and I am over the moon. I had doubts of getting the acceptance letter initially, as I felt that I don't have a great portfolio to start off with.

As an international student, there are definitely lots of stuff to do before actually flying there, and that is to apply for a study permit, to scramble for cash of CAD10,000 + a year's worth of school fees to show to them that I can afford my stay there. And then there's the accommadation problem, a lot of which are small AND expensive, or cheap and very very far away. Such a headache!

And upon arrival, I'm sure there's a lot more house hunting, part-time work hunting amongst settling, to do.

And everything requires money... money money money...

So I'm actually facing a lot of obstacles now.

Thank God my family has been ever so supportive, my dear brother texted me that I am the gem of the family, and to go for it. With that, he's expecting an honours. Tough, dude. I am terrified of the fact that I'll be facing 'the world' alone, without my brothers and my sister to back me up, and my Mommy and Daddy's armpits to hide in. HEEHEE!

Amidst all these things to settle, there is just one more thing that I have left lingering at the back of my mind. An important event in anyone's life, a big one, a serious one. When I was initially ok with this event taking place, now I have second thoughts, for it could be too soon, and it could be a disaster waiting to take place in Canada. This is the one thing that is bringing my joy down, for matters of the heart cannot be compromised.

I know it's still 4 months away, but I feel that I really need to start packing.

Til next.
