New Year's Eve

Today is our 9th monthlyversary.. as well as New Year's Eve. :) was in the celebration mood all of a sudden, though since 4th month onwards we didnt make such a big deal out of it le, haha. must be the new year's day mood.

thank you dear for being my pillar of support in my times of need.. for just every little thing.. 9 months have flown by so fast.. goodness.. looking forward to many more years together! :) you have brightened up my life by so much... :)

yep so i went to school, because i thought there was the class photo thingy after conb. i wrote it in my calendar as the correct date, but i chose to believe blur ber that it's today! so i like.. came to sch for a 1 hr lesson. -.-" totally faints.

but anyways, im also glad that our friendship has matured to this stage.. and in our lives we only have that few friends we can talk to so deeply with.. i love you ber! :P

after that went to wkshop 10 to get a new assignment.. jh and his friends joined me soon.

then went to cold rock with jh. :) survived a very very hot journey there at holland v. pixies here.


















my mint and strawberry sorbet


















and his cookies and cream and chocolate ice cream.


we only went cold rock cos ber knew abt the popular magazine voucher which is one-for-one waffle. so total $10 for 2 waffles, net. it was ok, movenpick is better.. but dont think we are willing to travel all the way to h.v and pay so much for cold rock. a small cup itself is alr $4.50. but it was nice to find out for ourselves what cold rock is like.. next time we can take our own ice cream and mash it with random stuff like chocolates like what they do. haha.


went to jh's house to slack a while, while waiting for the sun to set so that it's not so hot.
















his lighted ice cubes thingy. they light up when u put them in water.


















of course how can i miss out on the darling cat right.. his sleeping position is so cute.. sleep until so shiok. :) really four legs up in the air. haha.

then went to jp to find a bag for the boy.. found it for $43. and guess what.. they gave us another bag as a free gift.. we were like 0.o!!?? buy a bag and get a bag free... it's like buying a laptop and getting a laptop free. haha.

well im really tired out. didnt get enough sleep last night. goodnight peeps. :) Happy New Year to everyone! :)

Big-eye contact lens

got this from asiaone:



Doctors are warning that teenagers who wear fashion contact lenses risk becoming blind or contracting Aids. And the Public Health Ministry is taking note. It's all set to regulate the practice.

The so-called "Big-Eye" contact lenses have been smuggled into Thailand and are widely available on the market without any controls. The trend has been influenced by Korean movie stars, who use them to make their eyes look bigger or to change the colour of their eyes.

A senior government ophthalmologist says those who wear Big-Eye lenses could become blind within two days if they use ones with bad shapes, or are exposed to bad hygiene or even if the lenses are stored in an improper package.

Dr Thapanawong Tang-uraiwan of Nang Klao Hospital in Bangkok says there's also a risk of contracting Aids if wearers swap the lenses. He called on teenagers who wanted to use them to first consult ophthalmologists.

The Food and Drugs Administration says the issue is to be discussed later this month. New rules will then be issued to regulate imports and license sales of both Big Eye lenses and other non-regulated contact lenses to ensure safety standards, such as those imposed on regular contact lenses.

A ministry committee tasked with handling matters on medical equipment will later be instructed to work out new regulations in detail, says FDA assistant director-general Phongphan Wongmanee.

The doctor says he is especially concerned about the different colours used in contact lenses, whether they are safe enough and whether the lenses are made through standard procedures.

"The shape, roundness and curves of the lenses are also important to the safety of wearers. Substandard lenses may cause eye injuries or blindness," he adds.




had no idea that you could contract aids from sharing contacts. but who shares contact lenses anyways.. well, so far i have not heard of any people who have suffered from any eye damage caused by those lenses... just take caution. :)

finally i managed to kick myself out of the twilight craze. ive practically read the books like 3 times over. arrgh. not gonna be excited to watch new moon cause 3/4 of it is about j and b. hahaha. pei hua wants to kill me already. XD

anyhow, went for dinner with jh at raffles place sushi tei. we didnt see any queue when we went at about 8.30, so we thought no queue haha. in the end, there was a waiting list and we had to wait about 20 mins. -.-" we wanted to try the seats with the curtain like rs told jh, but since it was dinner hours it would be very long till they're available, with all the families. yeah, trust us to go there for dinner on a saturday night when we are having holidays. lolx.

enjoyed their food as usual. :) mine was spicy miso ramen and his was ebi don. he kept koping my soup, haha. but the soup was really spicy and nice. :)

didnt take pic of his ebi don cos he was already a grumpy hungry fox cos his came like 15 mins later than mine. :P

anyways here are random pictures i took since dunno-when..

 

retarded looking elmo at plaza sing. so humongous. haha.

some beer thingy at clarke quay.

where you can make your own lighted deisgns. :)

 

during finance lesson. these two in front of me are having an illegal drug exchange.

with their loot; my choco mini. give them abit, they ended up eating the whole box. –.-“ the chocolate is really addictive.. when i offered it to bernice, her reaction was: no thanks, i’ll get really addicted if i eat it.’ HAHA. XD

 

sleeping cat outside bengawan solo at amk. he sleep until so shiok!!! like his house like that. –.-“

seafood hor fun from wan zai. super duper nice. cos they have black pepper in the sauce. but super ex. $6.80. id rather eat at sushi tei with that price. the portions are not as much as sushi tei as well.

Twilight

*twilight spoilers ahead*

finished the twilight series in about 5 hours. haha. reason being i skipped nearly the whole of book 2 which did not have edward in it.

well the story was good, it was a happily ever after with bella finally turing into a vampire to be with her vampire husband. however i felt that there were quite alot of unnecessary parts that makes it quite draggy. would have been better if it was 2 or 3 books only. and anyways, almost all the trouble that happens was caused by bella with her unique capabilities and her unusually sweet blood which tempts the other vampire families.

basically, its a story of a mortal girl falling in love with a vampire guy. and vice versa, of course. there are many obstacles to their relationship, one being edward's (vampire guy) guilt of not being able to give her a normal relationship, and the other being the other vampires out there who are trying to get her. (for her blood and some trouble she caused)

edward had to restrict himself alot physically around her because her blood was alluring to him also, but throughout the story are countless evidences of his protectionism. which, by the fourth book, was getting pretty overly melodramatic and stale. :P

but it was sweet to read about the sacrifices he had made in order to be with her. also he keeps blaming himself for the things that happen to her because of his vampire family or other vampires that are after her. well i can see how it draws the girls into the series.. because of the SNAG appeal; or 'Sensitive New Age Guy'. I cant say i wasnt as well. ;)

so he felt so guilty that he gave her a chance at a normal relationship with a human by leaving for the entire 2nd book, but of course that didnt turn out very well, cos along came jacob, a werewolf. hahaha.

well overall a good read, managed to keep me for busy for some time with the movie and the story. :)

yesterday was an interesting day which broke the monotony of holidays. we went to school for a briefing on a project that a few of us in spic are gg to carry out. simply put, it's paid website designing for smes.

the place we went to is in workshop 10. the company is a joint project by ida and sp to provide infocomm help for smes in singapore like IT security, e-commerce and website services.

and, i may be working for them during itp! :) just handed up the form yesterday to industry services soon after they agreed. hope sp doesnt call me about it, cos if they reject, means they will call.

really thankful to our club officer who gave us this opportunity. :)

project wise, pscm is stressing me out. i cant find the information i need. argh.

i finally managed to sleep at an earthly time of 12.30am yesterday. well, still beats sleeping at 9am in the morning haha. yesterday jh asked me to give him a morning call for his interview before i sleep. LOL.

rachel is a happy duck today!!! BECAUSE...

SHE JUST REALISED THAT HER BLUETOOTH EARPIECE CAN PLAY MUSIC!!! AHH!!!!!!


i bought the cheapest nokia bluetooth earpiece for $68. expensive, i know. but that time i had intended to use it only for calls. but when i tried to use it for music last time, somehow it couldnt! so after a while, my earpiece became a white elephant.

and i lost my wired earpiece recently! so cant listen to music while on my regular horrible 1 hour plus trip to jh's house in jurong and to school! end up i can only listen when i have a seat and somehow place the phone near my ear while i lean against the wall. no choice; the train rides are soo long!

but now that i can use my bluetooth headset to listen to music, the possibilities are ENDLESS!! i can listen to my darling jay chou during lectures! and teachers wont even have a clue cos it's hidden behind my hair! XD

anyways..

















my pet and his pet are sleeping together!! on the floor. -.-" jh is so rich in pet society and he cant even afford a bed. -.-" lol!


off to put in more songs! :D

woke up at 3.30pm again!! and slept at 6am!! ahh!!! how am i going to wake up on time for tomorrow's meeting at 11am??

anw, jh and me cleared up some events stuff for the club and then wanted to go to sim lim to find his ipod touch first gen silicon casing. but it was too late le, so we decided to go to funan instead. found one at a pushcart, but it's $22. -.-" so didnt buy it of course. but everywhere couldnt find it..

then, we went to heeren to eat subway. :) 1 for 1 footlong! we bought a total of 4 footlong subs, cos jh helped his friend to buy also. hahhaa. the first person told his colleagues,"eh get ready, 4 foot-long subs coming up" hahaha.

in the end, the orders got TOTALLY mixed up. andy's teriyaki became subway melt, my 'all veges except pickles' turned into 'all veges' and jh's mind became all messed up after that. hahahaha. one of the sandwich artists has some comprehension problem too. hahaha.

tmr got proj meeting and have to hand up quite a few proposals to club officer.. at least i managed to clarify the finance part with jason first. and you will understand my pain when you see our typical convo.

Rachel says:
we can agar agar calculate the price from the menu right?

Jason says:
i jelly leh

Rachel says:

haha. XD

spent yesterday fixing up my sister's desktop which i koped from her room. and then i realised that it cannot even play sims 2 cos it has some problem with the graphic card. anw it's a very old cpu le, p4 2.4ghz. lol. why do i even bother. i really need a proper computer with proper processing speed, but who ask me to buy kohji. hai.

had abt 5 hours slp then went to sch for project discussions. still in holiday mood can.. haha. then jh and yh came to pass up his itp thingy. then we went to jurong point 2 to look around. there are alot of new shops, and it's very big. but the shops are pretty much standard, prices also pretty much standard. even with sales, i dont find the clothing prices very attractive.

after tt went to jh's house where i intended to kope one of his old keyboards for my bro, cos he is complaining that he needs one. but jh's keyboard was quite old le, so might as well buy a new one because of health concerns too. imagine all the dust and dirt accumulated from all the years inside the keyboard. then played with his ipod touch and installed all sorts of new games inside. haha. i find the itouch the most value for money as compared to psp or dslite. cos you not only can install games, u can surf web, install life tools like calculator etc. and it's only $260+ from apple. first gen one though. he made me very tempted to buy it haha.

i am VERY scared of online banking. although i know IT stuff and all, but i feel like my hard earned money is at risk everytime i do ibanking. cos who knows what may be in my com which can hack into my account by figuring out the OTP algorithm from the ibanking token thingy. lol.

FINALLY we found the source of the mosquitoes which have been sucking my family's blood for the past week or so. it's from the water fountain thingy in my living room. so i just scooped up all the water and pebbles so that we can clean the fountain later. not going to have any more water in it le. a water-less fountain. haha.

my immunity is very low can.. ive had this flu for almost a week le. among my friends who all dont exercise, i get sick the longest. until now still coughing! cough until my chest bone pain! when jh gets flu he doesnt even really notice it's there. AHHH.

goodness so many projects. =/

finally finished the email to the person abt the calafare job.. no it's not me who is doing the job haha. emailed her for jh's friends who want to do it.. even though the pay is very good, i cant and wont do it cos of religious reasons. cos it's for an alcohol advertisement.

i find that every single time i write an email i put so much thought into it!! so much so that after writing an email with a relative amount of information, my brain is tired and needs a rest. hahaha. that's because i think through every single sentence i write!! to make sure that the other party will not get a wrong meaning because of a wrong choice of word or wrong phrasing. haha.

ok my brain needs a rest now. nitenite!~

who wants to earn $80 from a fast food sample survey? go there sample fast food and get paid. haha. 2.5 hours i think. held on a sat/sunday around end of dec.

yay exams are over. :)

after hrm, went with ber to bugis street. she got a few clothes and me too. but i think cos it was very hot and stuffy there, i did not feel very well cos i had flu, so we had to leave before ber could find that one piece that she wanted. sorry ber. =(

then went to the cathay to book the Bolt 3D tickets for me and jh. total is $13 per person inclusive of the special specs rental. the website said $15, lol. was willing to spend the money cos it's very rare that we watch movies, and we wanted to see how good the 3D effects were.

overall, 3D effects not that good. not as good as those in disneyland de, of course. haha. those are 4D, with all the pre-programmed mists blowing at you etc. but they showed one advertisement of some scary disney movie that is 3d; i found that those are even better than Bolt's, even though it was only for like a few minutes haha. but i think i will be scared to death first, lol.

then we went to wisma isetan cos i had $30 isetan voucher from company event last time. no clothes suitable for there; quite mature clothes lol. so in the end bought a $20 necklace from topshop and $10 pendants for necklace. topshop is inside isetan, so can use the voucher. it's crazy how a simple necklace from topshop can cost so much, when their cost price is probably two decimal points to the left of $20, lol.

oh ya, yesterday very funny. i met michelle my ex classmate in year 1 in the ladies at plaza sing. convo goes like this:

michelle: hey rachel! what are you doing here?

me: oh, watching movie with bf

*suddenly, may appeared beside her*

may: ORRRHHH. ok we wait outside for you to see him. *sly smile*

me: but i need to go to the toilet! dont need to wait for me la. XD

may: never mind! we got alot of time one. *may and michelle, sly smile*

me: -.-""

then when i came out of the ladies, THERE WERE REALLY THERE. hahhaha. XD and what's more, laiteng and her friend and jx were there also. LOLX.

me is having cough. =(

had intended to go to the ben and j's chunk fest at fort canning, but it's crazily hot outside and im sick. the weather is getting very bad.. and it's supposed to be monsoon season. what's happening to the world. =S

reading the Mumbai attack reports really saddens me.. especially having a singaporean die in the process, brings the situation even closer to home. you never know when terrorism can occur.. even in singapore.

life is so short. we dont know when we may leave this world. after reading all those, i feel that our life in singapore is so sheltered, so day-to-day... we complain about the smallest of things, when we should be glad that we are alive each day.


God, help us all..
