Camp

Hi guys..it's been a long time..


i'm feeling kind of down right now, probably because i'm feeding myself some sad slow songs. haha.


i don't know how i'm going to continue this. it's stupid. i want to stop whining about something. my heart and my brain is separate in this matter. how am i going to continue this next year? i really wonder. is it really unfair as you said? what the heck have you done anyway? and i thought i was being nice. fuck you for taking advantage of me. i don't need you. do you know that?


im going to seriously stop being nice. civil, yes. nice as in help you? no. now that things are different for you, i hope the best for you. hope you will grow up and learn how to take care of your own fucking business instead of always troubling others to take care of them for you. what a waste of my fucking time and feelings. fuck you. really.

No Way Back

Oh man...I was trying the new template system. I couldn't get the design I wanted man..So I'm sticking to my own very nicely customised template that I've been using for years.


I just sent my laptop for repair yesterday. Feel rather crippled man. So weak. Haha..


Today when I was on the train, I saw these 2 guys listening to some emo music, blasting their ears out like I did before. I realised that I have slowly but very naturally deviated away from those kind of music and I thought to myself," I grew up. man" HAHAHAHA!!! What happened to me I do not know, but seriously, was I THAT angst-y??? Perhaps I was. Maybe now I'm feeling happy, no need for angry music. I don't think I can ever throw away that collection. Haha..I might need it in the future.


Anyway, my hard disk almost died on me! My china pictures might be all gone save for some Kp took and those on my facebook!!! SOBS!!! Wondering if I can recover it? I don't mind paying for it la! Precious you know the pictures! Sigh..


I'm currently taking a module on EEE about modern use of electricity or something like that. Haha! I actually found it rather interesting. At least this prof was using his own experiences to explain how everything works instead of sticking to the textbook. Quite cool. Hope next sem, my math profs will be a little better. Otherwise, I'd rather just skip the lectures and read them myself!


I haven't done any entries lately huh..Oh yeah! did I say that Kp came back early to surprise me? Haha! that was like 2 weeks ago. Time is passing so fast!


For the past few days we have been watching "Full House" together on and off. Quite fun to watch with him. Haha..We're like the stay-home-and-slack couple. How time flies huh. Kp went to china and is back. School is going to start soon once again. AND, he is now my longest standing boyfriend. Yes, as pathetic as it might actually sound, my boyfriends never last more than 7+ months. Maybe I was just with the wrong kind of guys. But they sure taught me a lot.


My driving test is coming soon!!! Trying to prepare myself for FEI(-ling) (as my driving instructor says it). Sigh...Can't wait to take to the streets and come back to hand my car keys over to Kp. Haha! I really enjoy being driven around man.


This entry is full of randomness, which I'm enjoying. The "otherwise" part of the equation is being boring. More boring than I already am then. HAHA..

I seriously think my period coming man..feel so needy and stuff..attention given is like totally not enough. I wonder how am I going to survive the rest of my years man...

Even So

Hi all..It's been a few weeks since my last post..Thanks to everyone for tagging on my tagboard though I have yet to reply. Haha..


Anyway..Today's post is..about a passing thought that I had since kp and I had some unhappiness going on a couple of days ago..


I wondered..what have I done lately to make people I love happy. Because, ultimately, bringing happiness will bring more happiness to myself right? But..I realised that I haven't done a thing..instead, I was waiting for people to bring me happiness. This isn't the first time I'm feeling this way and it wouldn't be the last either..My princess attitude is inborn I think. HAHAHA...


But the more pressing issue here is, what am I going to do about this? I'm feeling reluctant! There are 2 brains working inside me..and I really think I'm being a spoilt brat..I need to do some community service or something man..


I've done some thinking (as you guys can see) and I would like to change. Especially in the best interest of my relationships with my family and friends.


I would like to laugh at myself too..Because changing is not easy and it requires willpower and, more importantly, awareness of my behavior. How am I suppose to change if I'm not aware of myself..Sigh..


Lots of rambling here..as usual..


hmm...

One Night in BeiJing

WAHAHAHAHA..... China finally unblocked Blogspot. So, I can blog about Beijing. It's my 4th day here and the days passed by so fast. I've had a great time here so far.


First day, I had a terrible time on the plane. Boarded it at midnight. Reached Beijing around 640 with backache and bloodshot eyes. Haha..had no time to appreciate the big change in the airport since I last visited this place. Rushed out of the plane to the immigration stand (so I can at least get some head start. Yes. I am damn Kiasu. But if only you know how long one has to wait -_-) but even so I had to wait half-and-hour. After so, I rushed down the escalator thinking, "YES. Baggage claim!" Noooo...it wasn't. It was a skytrain. Sigh..Haha..I really can't wait to get out of the airport. Into the skytrain and another 15 min wait before I could reach the terminal with the baggage claim. Rushed out of the skytrain and almost ran to the rotator. HAHA. But you know, it wasn't so funny at that time. Just couldn't wait to run out of the custom. Met a pretty happy kp at the end of the line. Okay. So I was pretty happy too. Trying to be a little manly here. Haha...I took a little nap after we reached the apartment and after so, had lunch at this very wonderful place.


Alameda


It is tucked away in one small corner. Step into this surreal world if you want to escape from China. Haha..I didn't want to leave the place.


It's only after we finished our appetizer that I remembered to that I forgot to take pictures of the wonderful and very pretty food. He had this chicken and pork thing and I had salad with some different kinds of sausages. Very, Very Yummy. :D


Yes, very satisfied. Hee..


We shared a beautiful glass of wine.


HAHA...his pork fillet.


My beef mignon.


It is SUPER yummmmyyyy...


The whole purpose of this picture is to show you that I drew a face with my mashed potato. As usual, only I can see it. Hahaha..


Some Massage Parlor


We went to this massage parlor. Had a chinese massage. It didn't seem to have any effect on me whatsoever. I'm too healthy already. :D


Some (nice and well-known?) SiChuan Restaurant


We had dinner with his cousin's family at a Sichuan restaurant. It was a numbing experience. Literally. Hahaha..This cute little boy is the emperor.


The emperor smiles. hee..


2nd Day - The Red Lantern House


In the train on the way to our short getaway.


The seats in this train is covered with some cushion. Quite nice and spacious. Our country can take pointers perhaps? Haha..but this isn't the "metro" la. This is the railway. (Just in case you don't know, there is a difference)


Our getaway, The Red Lantern. It looks cool ah. Yeah. That's all.












This part is quite cool. Because kp booked a double bed (otherwise there is a choice of sharing with 7 other people? Or a single/twin bedroom. Here is the website), we had to seat on a cart(?), which was on a bicycle, to reach our room. It was in a separate location. Hence we reached our final destination (some 10-20 metres away) via this cyclist.


It was a metal cart.


From my cart's point of view.


This cyclist is definately older than 40 but he was riding quite fast with kp and I at the back la! He cycled across the road somemore leh! Scary...Haha..But it was fun. :D






It was a beautiful day. Doesn't look grey-ish at all right. Can't tell that this is china hor. Haha...I'm sorry, but GREY is the colour I'd like to describe China, and Taiwan. It is like that all year round, I don't know why. It is especially visible in winter. Haha..


This stretch sells lots of musical intruments. Looks good. Actually the whole street seems to be for the youth. The shops lining the streets are filled with fashionable clothes, shoes, toys (both for the young and the adults, if you know what I mean *wink* ).


kp had a beer while we had to wait for this irritating angmoh couple because they didn't want to check out on time. They really took their own bloody time leh! Irritating...plus we reached quite early lor. Apparently, there are quite a lot of these kind of people in China.


Nothing better to do...


Some exploration of this olden house. Oh. I didn't say earlier huh. This Red Lantern House is a sort of hostel using the old houses from the dnowhichdynasty period. So our room is the dnowhichpartofthehouse.


Outside our room. The curtain-covered room on the left (with the chairs) is our room.


Some obsession of mine with spring flowers.


The other part of the courtyard.


The linkway to the main lounge.


A fishpond with MANY goldfish. FengShui perhaps? The other lounge (in the earlier pictures) had a pond, too.


We saw this VERY cute and RARE cat. I fell in love with it la! SOOOO FLUFFFYYY!!!!!


It had a partner somemore. Cute right. :D

Brassiere Flo - GREAT restaurant. Webbie here.


Nice architecture. Beijing has lots of very nice architecture around. They seem better than the ones I saw in Shanghai leh. Dno. Everyone keeps saying how modern Shanghai is but I think Beijing can qie Shanghai. Note: This is not the restaurant.


Kp reserved our dinner at this french restaurant, apparently so that I can order in french. erm...HAHA...I didn't of course. BUT. I'm so glad he didn't. :D


Beautiful bread. Beautiful butter....*salivate*


:D


Margarita. I regret ordering this instead of wine. But I got kp to order wine so everything is fine. The wine was GREAT. Very delicious.


My French Onion soup made from scratch. None of those instant mixes. *groan*...HEAVENLY I tell you..............Kp had mushroom soup which I forgot to take picture of. But his soup was as heavenly.


Kp's starter: Escargot. Drizzled with olive oil, mint and parsley. Very, very good.


My salad. Very nice presentation, good mix of colour and flavours. Very nice blend of textures as well. Extraordinaire...


Darling with his escargot.


My main dish. Steak. Words can't tell you how happy I was when I took a bite. Okay, you know there is a scene in the first Matrix movie where one bad guy was talking to the agent in the restaurant? He was eating steak remember? That was how this steak looked..exhilarating.


HAPPY...hehehe...


Some more shots of my beef...


His main dish was seabass. Very nice and fresh.


LOOK!!!! WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA..........


Our creamy, delicious, wonderful (I have veryyy limited vocab) creme brulee with something. I can't remember what. But I was savoring every bite I tell you...it was THAT good..sigh..


Posing and happy. Hee..


Satisfied and VERY full.


LOOK AT THIS CHOCOLATE!!!!! It came with our coffee and tea..GOD-HEAVENLY DELICIOUS.


If you're wondering why I seem a little red, it's because of the margarita. Haha..I was trying to finish it ASAP.


AAHHHHHMMMMM


Nice chandelier. HAHAHA...


That white cloth on kp's shoulder is my coat. :D It's quite cold.


We look nice. Hee~


Our ride.


YEAH RIGHT!!! Hahahahaha...


That's the place. :)


Third Day - Breakfast at some chinese place. Soy Milk and YouTiao.

This is 2 portions of youtiao. Sick right. Hahaha..


Kp, all serious about eating the youtiao. Hehehehe...By the way, that bowl you see there? That's the doujiang (soymilk). The youtiao had this extra nice dipping sauce. It was very good.


Dinner - Annie's (Italian restaurant, didn't take pictures) & The Tree


Kp's drinking Irish Stout. Very smooth, very nice.


:D


My beer and his.


It tasted like apple juice with sprite and lemonade. HAHA...nice! The waitress warned that it'd be sour. It wasn't to me. Kp couldn't stand it. Haha..he was happy with his stout. We had pizza, we took pictures, but iI think I accidently deleted it or something :(. The pizza was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good. HAHA..


Okay. So that's it for the past 3 days. Today is stay-at-home day. kp has to work you see. I have been doing this entry for the past 4 hours lor..shag..


Blog more soon. :)
