Hong Kong here i come

In less than 24 hrs time, i'll be on the plane to HK!! haha~ i cant wait!! Gosh... i'm so damn excited!! My luggage is more or less done... only left with the money problem! Yikes... how much shld i bring? I heard that the stuff in HK is rather expensive... shucks... And there i was thinking that i can shop like mad.. forget it!! But nevertheless, am excited about the trip still coz i'll be meeting the girls! Woo-hoo!!

Alrightey, shall blog again when i'm in singapore! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

I can't wait!

Guess wat?! The MTA ppl hav been on strike for 2 freaking days!! No buses, no subways.... It's a gd thing that my sch's really near to my hse, otherwise i'm so screwed! Last paper tmr.. i can't wait! Then it'll be x'mas.. and then HK!! Haha~ was chattin with Eric earlier and he said that it's gonna be freaking cold!! So Jill and Dora, REMEMBER TO BRING JACKETS OR SMTHIN!! Not sure if we will be able to do our shopping, on a tight budget.. *lol* Gotta plan out our schedule for the trip, i'm sure the gals are anxious to know what's installed for them! Have to be in sch early tmr, english professor's gonna return my research paper and also tell me my grade for this semester.. wonder if i'm gonna do well.. *shudders* Then I've to drop by the International Student's Advisement rm to get a new I-20... After that, try 2 see if i can sell my books in the library, get some money back... So much to do tmr.. hopefully i dun miss anythin! Anyway, I'll get to see my cute guy tmr, which makes me exceptionally happy!! Guess it's time to get back to my books... can't slack off at the very last moment! Have a nice day peeps!

Yet another breakup..

Yup.. heard another breakup story today... 7 yrs relationship.. gone juz like that.. wat's wrong with the guys nowadays? Why cant they appreciate and cherish wat they have? Why are they fickle-minded? After wat i heard today, it juz further re-affirms and proves the point that my mentality has been right all along. Only put in 30% of ur feelings in each relationship.. in this way, u will never get hurt. I can only sympathize with my frens each time they get hurt by someone they love, and not empathize... I will never understand the pain that they feel and have to go thru because i've never fallen so deeply in love with any guy before.. This sets me wondering, shld i open myself to love? Maybe i shld take away the "wall" and juz love. But then again, i'm afraid i'll be hurt... "It's better have loved and lost.." Is it true? Most often then not, ppl who have been hurt in a relationship will say they'd rather not have loved... As for myself, i believe wat's done is done. Since there's nothin we can do about it, we shld juz look ahead, be more optimistic and happiness will definitely be within reach. Then again, i guess only when i've really loved and lost will i be able to empathize and understand wat heartbreak is all about..

To digress from this depressing topic, i shall recommend everyone a particular bottle of red wine. haha~ yes, totally outta point. JEWISH RED WINE!! It's delicious!!! If I'm kind, i'll bring back a bottle or two for my frens in sg 2 try... it's freaking sweet!! Manischewitz Cream red concord.. gosh... i'm gonna try the white wine next wk...

Here comes the stupid snow and cold!

Bad start to the morning today.. why?! Coz it was snowing so heavily!! Ridiculous!! And then the subways was screwed up AGAIN, causing me to be late for work!!! Gd thing the doc wasn't in yet... but still, i was SUPPOSED to be early!! Then when i exited from the subway in Manhatten, it started raining!! Stupid and crazy weather.... gd thing i wore my freeze and down today.. otherwise, i would have been shivering like hell....

Then the rain stopped and the snow came back... And now, it's so freaking sunny!! But with strong winds... i used to love the snow, but NOT ANYMORE!! When's summer gonna be back!! Glad i'll be singapore in less than a month's time....

I can't believe i've nothin 2 do in the clinic now... bored bored bored.... shall take a short nap in the restroom....

¡ADDICTION!

Yikes... i think i'm a little addicted to coffee!! I've been drinking it EVERY morning for the past 1 wk or so and when i didn't hav coffee today morning, I was so damn sleepy in my Math class!! I felt the heavy eyelids... the exhaustion... it was terrible!! Had to buy a cup of cappuccino from the canteen immediately after that! And i was surprised that I could get a gd cup of coffee in sch! I mean, usually, the coffee sold outside aren't that authentic... But anyway, that's not the point. The point is that I think i'm slowly addicted to caffeine, again.. I remembered i used to drink LOTSA coffee when i was working in Maybank, and then i got scared coz i didn't wanna end up like my mom, aunties.. et cetera; they need to have at LEAST 4 cups of coffee a day!! It's mad... So i kinda stopped drinking.. and now, the addiction seems to be back.. Or mayb, i'm simply making a mountain out of a molehill. haha~

What's new?? CHEMISTRY TEST TONIGHT!!! Argh~ 3 chapters, i THINK i've covered everything BUT.. u know... the preparation work never seems to be sufficient... i'll probably try 2 finish my research paper tonight.. so i can get my professor to evaluate it on monday before the final submission next wednesday. Everyone's lookin forward to the exams, not because they're prepared, but simply coz they cant wait to get over it! Everyone's going somewhere to ski, snowboard... blah blah... ME?? I'm gonna be a smart ass and escape from the cold! haha~ back to humid s'pore!! And of course, to HK before that... I can't decided: Shld i do smthin 2 my hair in NY, or shld i try the hair stylist in HK?? Suggestions anybody??

Alrightey, i shld stop here. REVISIONS, REVISIONS & MORE REVISIONS to be done!! ¡Adíos!

**Photos Galore**

Haha~ i finally have some pictures to post up!! I purposely went ard the neighborhood after my evening class today to take these pics!! The lightings made the houses so pretty! I juz love Christmas!! My favorite was the big fat globe.... LOVE IT!! Gorgeous decorations aren't they? They bring life to this gloomy winter... Actually, i took many more pictures, but they were either too dark or blurred... sux.. these are a few of the better quality photos... hehe~


First house - Front porch


In front of its garage - Look at that globe!


Mini railway train on the garage's roof


Another house: Look at those decorations!



This pic sux coz i used flashed! *Ignore fat me!*


Yet another hse! Hehe~


Haha~ Santa and Frosty the Snowman



I love the railway train!!

Frosty the snowman

Winter is officially here... the depressing atmosphere... snowing lightly outside now... it'll be a pretty sight tmr nite, esp when most household hav put up the Christmas lightings... Big, lit snowmen and santa... i'll try 2 take some pictures if i can tmr. =)

I'm supposed to be studyin Thermodynamics now but i'm not in the studying mood.. juz feel like slacking.. cant believe it... and i still have my research paper 2 work on.. chocolate and acne.. how's that? I cant believe that my finals are in 2 wks time!! Time passes exceptionally fast in NYC... The next i know, i'll be on my way to HK!! Which reminds me, i haven't bought the souvenirs for my friends in sg! Damn...

Guess wat? My cousin juz told me that he cant access my blog... is blogspot gay or wat?? Anyway, i received a few frisbees today.. haha~ they're huge!! 175 grams.... gosh... not mine, juz ordered it for my friend... it seems that one of them will change from white to purple under the sun, BUT i cant test the effect now coz i dun see the sun anywhere!! It has been cloudy the whole day... depressing...

Growing up...

It's been awhile... i've been so busy... upcoming finals in 2 wks time... dora mentioned that she finally received a gd deal for the HK trip but I juz read her latest post, and it seems that there's a problem with the hotel!! SUX!! Hopefully, everythin's gonna go on smoothly for us!! I'm seriously looking forward to it!!

Anyway, i dunno it is juz me but it seems that everyone ard me are proclaiming that they're broke!! Why is that happening?! It seems that we never have enuff to spend!! Is this wat we often term as one of the "growing-up" problems? I was chatting online with a longtime fren a few days back and the first few things that he typed was also smthin about money. Why is it always about money?

Bought a few prezzies today... i think juz buyin the souveneirs alone is gonna cost me a bomb!! I can forget about buyin anythin in HK... argh~ Once again, it's all about money!! But i'm glad that i'll still be able to keep my job at the clinic even after my vacation. Have to start saving from scratch when i'm back from sg...
