miss universe 2006

i know this has been some time ago.. but i just happen to see an article on miss universe.. and OMG! i totally fell in love with miss japan! she is soooooooooooo hot! haha. i love her!! but then, although she got into final 10, final 5, final 2, she din win.. miss puerto rico won. bleargh.

less talking and more photos.. heee. here goes:

first of all, the crown!! ahhhh.. it's so so pretty. who wouldn't want a crown like that? damn it's nice... haaa.

some photos of the event. look at the final 5 photo.. miss japan stands out so much la. she's so so so so pretty. and she's so deserves the crown.

everyone's fave. part of the show. mine too.. haha. so this photo is miss puerto rico. ok la. she's hot too.. very latina. very exotic. and looks very normal kinda hot lor....

but check out miss japan!! she is ULTRA hot!! dun u agree that she looks so much better than miss puerto rico? i absolutely love her! i think there are alot of pretty and hot japanese girls but we dun get to see them often.. and this time, i think it's really a breath of fresh air among the rest of the contestants. wooooo~~

ok i'm bias. i have so many more photos of her than miss puerto rico.. cant help it if she looks so good right? heee.
this photo is not from the event. but someone took from her blog. if anyone can read japanese and is interested, click here. even without all the glam miss universe stuff, she's still cute. even though i dun really like the curls, i think it's ok on her cuz it makes her cute! and japanese girls always like to act cute right? wahaha.
i dunno where is this from. but sigh, she looks flawless.
back to the event, this is miss puerto rico in her evening gown. i must say she looks good. and i think her gown was nicer than miss japan.
i think this photo is damn funny! check out miss puerto rico! she looks like she expects now to win already.. giving the sian look! haha. and omg, miss japan.... sigggghhhhh.
but! eventually, miss puerto rico won and miss japan was first runner-up. although i think it's a great moment for asians to even get there but i still think she should have gotten the crown. accoring to the article, it has been mostly latin americans winning the crown and the writer feels that there is a latina bias. oh well.. although i dunno eventually who got the crown cuz i also heard that miss puerto rico fainted during some post-pageant news conference. so yup!

ps: before anyone think's i'm a damn pervert or a lesbian, i would like to say that i absolutely dun think of girls that way although i think everyone likes to look at girls cuz girls are made to be appreciated. hmmm..

love? friends? family?

i feel lost although i'm in a familiar place. where i am at now, i feel helpless and i feel tired. i no longer know what is wrong or right, whether i am just numb or i just don't care. tell me then, how do i start feeling things again? when did i lose all my feelings, all my courage, all my love and all my friends, all at the same time?

a special friend said to me that she's sick of life. and although i am trying very hard to be happier now, it's hard and i find myself agreeing with her. that life sucks and i'm sick of life too.

maybe i will be ok tmr. maybe i wouldn't. maybe i would wake up to see the sunrise again. maybe i would wake up to darkness.

back to the starting point. back to the time before complications. back to the time where i have to be there for myself again. back to where my only comfort are the toys on my bed.

i need to rediscover myself. i have become someone i hardly know, someone i've learnt to hate. one day, i shall like the person i see in the mirror.

the purpose of this entry is unknown. and these are jus random stuff. but if i seem like i am feeling down, ya i am. feeling really down. but like always, i will be ok.

thunderstorm

i almost wanted to put these photos up with my earlier post but was a little lazy. but since lionel mentioned, here they are. the thunderstorm at cedarpoint. it was really scary.. with the damn heavy rain and hurricane warnings, roads being flooded n all.. eeks.

the thunderstorm clouds. from where we were staying. scary huh.. so dark..
lionel insisted on taking a photo in the rain. so silly. that's the cedarpoint track suit. we were only allowed to wear this when necessary.. to work. that's my room.. and we're playing 'operation'.. some board game la. heee..

rain rain go away..

i like to sit by the window sometimes to jus watch the rain but haven had the chance to until just. it's such a nice feeling. jus watching the rain.. and the smell of rain. i love it.

but. some say that it rains when a couple breaks up. seeing that it's raining so heavily and knowing that me n lionel are doing good together makes me feel a little better. although i believe that somewhere out there, someone's heart might be broken. hmmm.

SIGH!

school only jus started and i already dun feel too good. school sucks. i'm doing this module on corporate reporting now.. and according to paul.. it is the hardest module in SMU. not only paul that is saying that.. the prof is saying that too!! great. and that will be the first module that i bidded and that i won't be doing with lionel cuz we have different majors.. and what's even greater is i bidded ALONE!!! cuz i was in the states and hardly had the time to use the internet.. and had to bid within like one week. so i tot it's easier to bid alone.. it was such a bad idea. now going to class is dreadful!! i wanna drop it. but then again, i shld do it cuz i'm only taking 4 mods this sem.. but i need some company!! what shld i do?? ahhhh...

besides that, it is great to be back. but i've yet to eat chicken rice, kway chap, laksa, poh pian, and my fave yu sheng. so yup.. who's free? haha.

home sweet home

I"M BACK!! hee.. i was really excited when i looked out the window as the plane touched down on singapore soil.. suddenly, i tot about all the pple here i love, and of cuz my little rabbit.. the familiar smell, pple and enviornment. i am home.

as i looked ard my room, i realized my maid, wiwin, re-arranged my table.. and i hate it. i hate anyone to touch my things. if it's messy, let me do the cleaning. but yesterday, i simply made a little remark n let it pass.. i miss my room. although i wish my sister were here to unpack with me.. and so i can share the things i bought with her... but it's nice that my brother was there with me. and it's really heartwarming to see that he's so excited abt all the things i bought for him. and he likes them all.. cooooool. :):) i miss my family.. and now i am home..

to lek, ze bin n eleanor, thanx so much for coming down to the airport to see me yest.. thankew thankew. i really did not expect that. esp after ur run in the morning.. xie xie ni men.. heee.. eleanor!! i cant wait to go out with u and the girls!! haven seen u all for so long.. ze bin, congrats for winning.. and lek!! u've been the nicest.. sending me off and welcoming me home. thankew so much.

and i know i shld be posting my photos up BUT.. the photos are still with lionel. stupid lionel la.. always upload the photos from his camera then he deletes them so i dun get to upload most of the time. but also cuz when we are travelling, i'm lazy to use the comp la.. heee. oops. i'll upload asap!! haha.

school's starting on wed.. and i sorta miss school but i dun wanna go back to studying!! ahhh.. thinking of all the case studies that i have to do.. eeks! not the most pleasant thought. hmm.. oh well. i have today n tmr to slack ard.. hee..

san fran

hello hello.. i'm in san fransico now. i'm officially done with the work part of my "work n travel" program and now.. it's time for me to jus enjoy myself in the US. but of cuz i have to watch my money. haha.. almost running out i think. argh. anyway, i went to new york before this. and did not have time to blog. so yup. and of cuz, although i have internet now, i wont have the time to update my blog too cuz of the travelling.. so so so.. lionel n i decided to put up our photos on a website.. and everyone can see!! heee.. okok..

so if anyone's interested to see what we've been up to, click here!

heh.

i'm such a bum. but i had so much fun here. and my sis is complaining that i dun put photos anymore. so pls pls read lionel's blog. haha.. for the latest photos.

i'm lovin' it.

i got a new skin again. yipeeee... the other one was nice until the butterfly disappeared from the blog.. haha. i guess it happens when since i'm using another person's blog skin.. yup. i hope this lasts.. i really like this. and to the pple who dunno, i like polka dots!! (shame on my friends who dunno!!) haha. anyway.. yup. and i think marilyn monroe is really damn cool. so yup. i'm lovin' my new skin.

what the *bleep* is happening to me?!?!

i've been getting really used to the life here that i have fun and i dun blog abt it. i totally left out lionel's party celebration!! and that we went parasailing....!! which cost a bomb la.

before that, i hafta to mention this:
the other day we were walking to walmart n lionel was complaining that his bag is damn heavy. and he was like saying that his bag "weighs a bomb"!! haha. ok. not funny. but it was damn hilarious when i first heard it. and he din even realize he was wrong. silly silly. ok. anyway...

must check out lionel's blog for photos!! must must!! although the photos of me are not very flattering. but oh well. at least my sis can see "how fat i am now".. she's damn mean la. cant wait for me to put on weight only.

that aside, i jus wanna apologize to lionel. "i'm sorry".. for always being so controlling. i realize that, like u, i wanna have some fun too. like when he went to watch da vinci code with me, i got really really pissed. he tried to contact me but i was in wal-mart n i din get his calls cuz stupid wal-mart has no reception.. and by the time i called him back, he was in the cinema already. i was really pissed that night cuz i wanted to watch that with him. and it was the first movie that i would watch here. and his too.. and i wanna watch it with him! like i'm really into all these "first times" thing. i like to ride my first rollercoaster in cedarpoint with lionel, eat my first cotton candy with him, etc. i know... i'm pyscho.. anyway. for that, i am really sorry cuz when i was walking home jus now, i saw 2 friends going out to watch movie and i was tempted to go with them. and i realize that it must be like this for lionel too. like he would want to have that freedom to watch whatever movie he wants with whoever, and whenever.. so yup. i'll try to not be so controlling. i promise!! haha. i know this must be really boring to everyone else. but i'm sure lionel will appreciate this.. :p (that is if he even reads this la)..

OH! and i realize something else too.. americans like to drink pop (soft drinks). they will let their babies drink too. like each person will have one cup. and it's not small la. and sometimes they buy the souvenir cups and the kid will want water in it but the mom will insist on them filling it with pop. haha.. and normally, the parents will drink diet pepsi and the kids will drink regular pepsi. i wonder.. is it cuz they are like older so diet is supposed to be a little healthier? weird.

oh oh!! happy 21st to ira!! i wish i was there... but i'm sure u had a grrrreeeaaat time!! i'll see u sooooooon. :)

inspired.

miss the days where i hang out with the girls in my house, to watch taiwanese serials and we ill share our days. for some time now, it seems like work is getting to us and we are restless by the time we get back. and although we still hang out, we seldom watch anything together anymore. we do still watch the same show but most of the time at our own timings. which is kinda sad. haha. but i guess we make do with what we got la. and i'm glad that at least we still share gossips and all bout work. kinda nice.

anyway, been watching "one litre of tears" - japanese serial. think some of u might know cuz i think they showed on channel 8 or something. anyway, i think it's a really good show. and what makes it really sad n touching is that it's based on a true story. when i watched the show, i cried my eyes out.. and the girls din allow me to sleep right away cuz they say my eyes will be really puffy the next day at work so we had to talk.. haha.. which was really nice. with some of the taiwanese.. yup. now. i'm almost done with the show. could have finish watching it yesterday but karen's laptop hibernated when the show was at its last few minutes. what a pain. haha. :p so till now, i haven gotten the chance to watch the ending.

so. after watching the show, i'm inspired to keep a diary. i think it's really cool. and not something to show off.. but i think it will help me be a little more disciplined. at least with one thing in my life. heh. what crap.

and not that i am hinting anything to anyone (even lionel) but i think i wanna get myself a dog if i can afford it when i get back. maybe for my 21st bday. i really really would want a dog. but i think it would be a really big responsibility and i must know i can afford all the food and the medical stuff and all. and now, my priority would be pheebe. so i must know i can keep both happy n well-fed and all. hmm.. and i guess other things that i am thinking about would be to buy myself a keyboard n pherhaps pick up piano lessons n all. my mom used to make us take piano lessons and since i've been so lazy all my life, i hated it. and so i quit without even taking grade one or anything. so yup. and now, i kinda wished i had continued. it would be nice. hmm.. or i think i will get a digital camera. one that belongs to me only. then i can take pictures all the time!!.. and i really wanna learn horseback riding. it would be nice..


i miss the LA days..

karaoke night!

was kinda excited at first cuz it's the first time i'm here when they have karaoke nights here.. haha. it's funny.. cuz some of them really cant sing.. but they still are having so much fun.. haha.. i wouldn't dare sing in front of these pple! haha.. and there was one girl who was singing "can't get you out of my mind" by kylie minogue and it was kinda bad so this girl from the audience was asking her to "shut up!!!" haha.. then everyone cheered.. then she stopped and more pple cheered.. haha.. poor girl. but she was still smiling. so everything's cool. hee..

so anyway, i jus bidded for my classes.. hopefully i get them. will have wed, thurs n fri classes.. and will be doing double major.. marketing n finance. eeks. hopefully i can pass... i'm so screwed la. i dun even know what i wanna do when i come out to work. dun think i will do finance stuff eventually too. jus that i'm not interested in the rest of the stuff too. so yup. wish me luck!

4 July.

Independence day came and gone.

i was so looking forward to 4 july cuz i heard cedarpoint will be super busy and alot of pple will wear like shirts with flags or like the national colours. but it was a little bit disappointing.

1. there were so little pple at the park. there were no lines at where i work so i was sent to help out at another place which had lines but i think it was the only place in the park that had lines. and i even heard this lady say (when i was queuing to use the restroom) that the toilet line is the only line in the park yesterday. how sad. hm..

2. tot everyone.. well almost everyone would wear something american but not really.. like i see the supervisors wearing ties with american flag print. and some girls had like red, white n blue ribbons on their hair.. and that's abt it! i even bought a pair of earrings jus for 4 july but i'm damn stupid la. forgot to wear. haha! :p

but then there was the fireworks. and it lasted for freaking 20 mins la.. it's super super long.. and it was quite awesome. i cant imagine. the fireworks at cedarpoint is already 20 mins long.. imagine the amount of money they spent and what other places might spend.. i mean like they're national stadium or something leh? it's crazy.. really crazy.

oh oh.. and i won the lottery. i bought this lottery: scratch n win thing from the supermarket the other day when i was waiting for the cab with lionel and when we got bored. and the lottery only cost me a dollar.. haha. and i won!!! a whole DOLLAR!! ( that is if i go online n register and all) haaaa.. damn funny la. but i decided i wunt bother la. all the trouble for one dollar.. haha.. but it was funny.

i'm jus talking to lek now and he's saying that i seem to be having fun here. it's true i guess. i have alot of freedom here. not from work la. work is crazily uptight and inflexible. but i mean if i wanna go to a pub or a gay club i can la. like my dad is not here to nag or something. but it also means i have to be that much more responsible for what i decide to do here la. haha.. anyway, i guess it's jus a differet kind of fun, like what i tell lek. at home, i have fun being with friends n all. enjoying the security and the familiarity at home. but here, i guess i enjoy doing things i wanna do. new things n crazy things that i can do. like if i wanna go shop for groceries at night, i can. if i wanna watch a movie i can. if i wanna hang out n drink with pple, i can jus go to lionel's room n drink with the guys n girls.. and it's different. i mean i'm not good with socialising but when i do get to know pple. i enjoy that. it's that kinda fun. it's hard to put it to words. but yup.

i've been really lazy so i haven been taking photos or taking the rides. i have 3 and a half more weeks till m contract ends. i will certainly miss this place. i miss the thais that left. i miss nokyoong. i miss working with her. and i think i will miss the taiwanese. i think i am getting to talk to them more. and they are really nice girls.

excuses excuses... AGAIN!

i know i haven been blogging. i know i know. haha.
(hello auntie nora.. it's cool that u are reading this.. hee.. )

anyway.. the reason i have this time is tha ti've been sick for a week now.

started since last week. had fever and the whole package .. and for the first time in my life, i lost my voice on tuesday morning when i got to work so i was sent home. haha. haven been working much cuz of this.. and also cuz the weather here is kinda bad lately.

it was the start of summer n we had a tornado warning n flash flood warning in ohio.. scary la.. and it's getting cold n wet and no one's going to the park.. so we all dun get to work... (no work = no money = no presents for everyone! :p)

anyway. nothing much happened recently.. eh.. oh.. i got new housemates. after the thais left, we had some peace for one week. and then we had one taiwan girl.. and yest, another. so yup. i think the place will be flooded with tiawanesessssss.. yup! i dun wannnntttt.. cuz now, i have a room to myself.. it's only 5 weeks more.. let me have my own roooom!! haha.. (not really likely man. sianz)..

ok. i'm going back to do some stuff.. btw.. it's lionel's bday tmr. so yup! we'll be celebrating on sunday instead. cuz i cant take off on his bday!! boooo.. :(

my sups.

hmm.. as i take the employee bus home after work today, i tot abt work n all. and i tot to myself, it has been 6 weeks since i started working at cedarpoint. and i have another 6 weeks more. and i can already feel how much i will miss this place. and all my friends that i've made here n perhaps i will miss my supervisors the most. they have been so nice to us all!!

so far, i had 4 supervisors. i shall take photos of them when i can.. without them, i dun think i will enjoy my work as much. and i might have asked for a transfer (to another department).. or i might quit!! haha.. i dunno. there's this 2 singaporean girls (chun-li and angela) who worked for 2 weeks and quit. haha! i think it's such a waste that they din enjoy it here. i mean of cuz sometimes it sux and i curse the system.. but it's also so so much fun. like when i have my off days, and i go back to the park, i will definitely still visit them. haha.. so lame right. but ya.

anyway, it's so overdue.. but here are the niagara falls photos. enjoy...
this is the first sight of the falls. if i dun rem wrongly, i think it's called american falls. haha. okok. ya. but it was cold and wet!!! argh. but it's so amazing to see the falls.. it's huge!!
this is all of us. all of the singaporeans who went for the trip that day.. heee.. but the person who helped us take the photo did not take the background.. so it's a pity.. but oh well at least we got a group picture!that's us again.. taking the maid of the mist boat ride.. so cool la.. the falls was jus beside us! me n lionel. (duh).. haha.. i look silly in the raincoat.. but it was fun. this was taken when we got to horse-shoe falls. it feels like it's raining damn heavily when we get inside and we were all wet n cold and we couldn't take photos... but lionel managed to take one for me!! heee.. look how wet it is!! but it was fun.. and really really cold. esp when the win blew.. after the wet ride. heee.. stupid lionel is spoiling the photo again.. wiht his wet tissue. look at the moss!! it has long hair la.. damn cute.. hee. imagine how long has it been there man! under the falls. the falls is quite strong man.. a little painful. the flowers are nice.. and ya. (ahhh.. the rec center is closing. so i only have 5 minutes left to use the internet!)this is some other falls. but i cant rem the name. haha. it's pretty and the water is greenish.. but din manage to take a good picture of that. we ended the day with this sunny picture. the sun finally came out as we were leaving so we ran to the falls to take another photo and catch one last glimpse of the falls. it was so cool. but it would have been better if it was a sunny day cuz then we would be able to catch alot of rainbows.. niagara falls is known as the rainbow maker afteralll... oh well. i believe that i will visit it again. maybe from the canada side. okok.. i gotta goooooo... gonna be chased out!!! eeks.

to everyone i know: i love n miss u guys!!!

feeling a lil' blue..

i've been working with a bunch of singaporeans n malaysians, some ang mohs, and one thai girl. now, the thai girl will be leaving in 2 week's time.. and she will be applying off as much as she can to go shop n all. i will miss her. she's been such a nice friend n working buddy. she stays above my dorm n will sometimes come over to my dorm to find the thai girls or sleepover. it's a pity she cant really speak english. but it's cool. i'm her translator. hee. i am feeling a little depressed cuz she is leaving. and it will be such a long time before i see her again if i even do. but she's so sweet. working with her has been a blast. haiz. i hate this kinda feeling. lke when u made a new good friend n it's time to part. and it has only going to be one short month that i know her.. before she leaves. argh. i wonder how depressed i will be feeling when i finally have to leave cedarpoint. i think i will try to cherish each horrible working day. heee...that's a picture of her. she's in the marron coloured sweatshirt. eating cooton candy. heee.. her name is nokyoong btw. heee.. it means peacock in thai i think. and just some happy photos that i took with lionel n eugene before eugene left too.. haiz.. ok. i have to upload the niagara photos some other time again cuz it's in lionel's room n it's locked so i cant access it. yup.

blah blah.

the other time i managed to squeeze in an entry, i was in such a rush.. and i had so many things i wanna tell the world. but now that i have time, i dunno what to write. haha.

hmm.. i guess i can talk abit abt my life here:
every week, i have different schedules. basically, i'm scheduled to work like 60 hrs a week with one day off. and last week, alot of pple were sent home alot cuz the park was not busy.. but this week, the park operates from 10am to 10pm.. and there are alot more pple coming to the park cuz it's getting warmer and the hols are almost here. so it's damn busy now.. i worked for 8 hrs yest. and 10 hours today. will have to work for 13 hrs tmr. it's crazy...

oh. and i work at the fryers. like i will fry chicken fingers, fries, make hambrgers, double burgers, cheeseburgers, double cheese, chicken sandwich.. heee.. and sometimes i have to do cash register too.. but i dun really like that. cuz when pple dun get their food fast, they will make alot of noise. heee..

oh oh!! and i went to niagara falls on thurs!! it's damn nice. but i wished it was sunnier. it's supposed to be a rainbow maker. hee.. but we din manage to see any.. so sad. but the falls are amazing!! but i dun have photos now.. so haha! ok la. this entry is damn boring. i shall stop all this nonsense.

hello hello.. i'm alive!!

i know i haven been updating my blog at all.. hee. oopsy. i have reasons k.
1. the park closes late sometimes n i have to work till park close most of the time. and the rec center (it's at the dorm.. and it's the nearest place i can use internet around here)
2. it has been raining for one week+++ so it's really cold to work to the rec center!! really really cold.. and i'm so so silly. i only brought one jacket to the US la.. i'm gonna die from the cold.. the wind is horribly strong!!!
3. the connection here SUCKS!! haha..

ok.. anyway, i'm gonna put up as many photos as i can for now.. i haven been taking alot of photos too.. so yup.. i'm really lazy to type so much.. but i'm really fine here.. except i keep eating!! and guess what? i'm almost 50!! i know.. i'm damn shocked too.. but oh well.. i blame the cold. haha..ok.. this is my apartment.. there's like 5 rooms altogether.. and 2 toilets... i stay at room B.. hee.. my rooooooom!!!!! haha.. isn't it pretty n oh-so-cosy? haha.. i have the flower tooo!! bought from meijers..
