Kinda. I'm sorta attached but not really, coz apparently i'm not sooo into mr. E and as usual, dora always has the latest updates on my side. So wat's been going on?? A whole summer break went past juz like that.. most of my close frens will noe that the trip to japan was simply disastrous. I still cant get over it!! Never in my life(mayb now) have i ever had such a bad vacation. It was seriously screwed up!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, i woke up today and decided to hav some corn. I had bought some corn on cob earlier last week. I took the corns out of my refrigerator and stared at them. I suddenly realized that, i had no idea how to cook the corns!! I couldn't decide if i had to peel off the husk before placing it in the boiling water, or to simply dump them in, and peel off later. I was so shocked at my ignorance! I juz couldn't believe it!!!! In the end, i had to go online to search for instructions on how to cook them. I did it successfully, obviously.. they're juz corn. argh~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the point was, it got me thinkin: Am i really that spoilt as wat nami claims?? We were brought up under different environments, we hail from different cultures &amp;amp; backgrounds and our education systems were different. Is that the reason for our many quarrels or rather disagreements/differences? I have no idea. When she asked me what i planned to do with her the other day, i really didn't noe how to answer. I didn't hate nor dislike her, but i also couldn't decide how we could be frens anymore. From the moment we knew each, till being best frens and living together, and now, falling apart with one another, has only been less than a yr. I can say, that was hell of a 1 yr to me (of course, i can't deny that I also had a hell lot of enjoyable moments). I dunno wat i want exactly. I dunno if i still want to be frens with her, or not. Part of me says I shld juz let go, some frenships juz dun work! But another part of me says, i shld give us another chance. how how how??? I think i'm turning into a very indecisive person!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think things would be alot easier for me, if she had juz suggested that we not be frens anymore. But now that she is leaving the choice up to me, it's juz frustrating. i can't decide! =( sometimes, i feel so free without having to consider her feelings and all those crap, but at times, when i go past the restaurants that we used to frequent, or when i juz want some good spaghetti, i realize that i still miss her, at least a little. I've new frens now, new good frens. But somehow or rather, the feeling is juz not that same. When dora and chew were having problems, at least she had jill and the rest. I noe i hav dorry and jilly too, but the thing is, we're worlds apart! My new good fren here, Yan, doesn't noe everythin about me. She's kind and nice, but the feeling is juz different altogether. i noe i've to snap out of all this nonsense soon, but until i found a solution, pls forgive me for obssessing!! =(&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12386906-7680888871866471595?l=the-painted-world.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12386906/posts/default/7680888871866471595'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12386906/posts/default/7680888871866471595'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://the-painted-world.blogspot.com/2008/09/september-almost-to-end.html' title='September almost to an end...'/><author><name>Christabel</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12386906.post-4228860761643980094</id><published>2008-05-07T23:04:00.006-04:00</published><updated>2008-05-08T12:19:32.767-04:00</updated><title type='text'>For fun **no updates**</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;My favorite:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;&lt;object height="355" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/c-tRSoOcp1s&amp;amp;hl=en"&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/c-tRSoOcp1s&amp;hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663333;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#663333;"&gt;&lt;object height="355" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/MSUdWIr5BMQ&amp;amp;hl=en"&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/MSUdWIr5BMQ&amp;hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;color:#663333;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;color:#663333;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#663333;"&gt;Oh...

In case u're wondering why i'm so free to be bloggin right now, it's coz i'm once again at work. LOL... doc will be in only later in the afternoon. I'm here juz to slack and pick up un-necessary fone calls... **BORED** so anyway, i finally decided to send her a text msg last wed. And then we met to talk on thurs afternoon... we talked about lotsa stuff.. about her attitude, about mine.. I'm so lazy to blog everythin out.. haha~ So anyway, the end result was that, it was actually kinda/sorta my fault. Basically, it all boiled down to me being insensitive to her feelings and stuff. Well, the way she presented her arguments and reasons sounded rather persuasive... so being the regular Christabel, i apologized. haha once again...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But i'm glad everythin turned out OK. Coz on fri, we went for Gyu Kaku (it was juz mad delicious!! Heard that they hav 3 outlets in S'pore too!!) and then karaoke. And on saturday, shopping madness. Easter sales or smthin.. I bought 2 pairs of jeans and another key charm from juicy. OMG... my new key charm is soooo freaking cute!!!! U've juz gotta see it!!! Too bad i'm at work right now.. otherwise I could post up a pic of it!!! Haha~ Btw, i've decided to go on a diet and force myself into my new pair of jeans!! I know it sounds retarded... but nami and I purposely bought a smaller size so that we'll be motivated to fit into it. It's spasic... I bought one from Adriano Goldschmied and another from G-star. LOve my new jeans!!! Wanted to get something from True Religion but.. erm.. too many ppl in the shop.. so, i decided, another time perhaps. We were at Woodbury Commons from like 1-8ish?? Madness... then we had argentinian pizza for dinner... but as we were too exhausted, we didn't really had much appetite. Kinda sux coz the pizza was supposed to be very good u noe.. hmm&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh btw, i wanna try this dessert restaurant smtime this wk!! Mayb tmr nite, perhaps~!! haha &lt;a href="http://www.chikalicious.com/"&gt;http://www.chikalicious.com/&lt;/a&gt; looks delicious right?? and definitely appetizing!! When Imelia comes to NYC this summer, I'm sooo gonna bring her to the good restaurants in manhattan!!! haha~ I think we'd both probably gain weight before we return to Sg. And then, i've my trip to Japan, which is sashimi paradise!! OMG... i'm like so excited... HAHA~ Alrightey, gonna head back to stoning and rotting.... Mayb i'll post up some pics of my new buys later. Ciao!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;**Thanks dora babe, for ur emails!!!!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12386906-8253708897253255111?l=the-painted-world.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12386906/posts/default/8253708897253255111'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12386906/posts/default/8253708897253255111'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://the-painted-world.blogspot.com/2008/03/everythin-is-back-to-normal-wink.html' title='everythin is back to normal **wink**'/><author><name>Christabel</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12386906.post-6052823856601684263</id><published>2008-03-15T20:20:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2008-03-15T20:44:04.459-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Sick &amp; Tired</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;color:#663333;"&gt;It's been ee-yon years since i last blogged.. Having lotsa mixed feelings right. My studies are going well, it's the relationship part that sux. I juz cant handle it. Relationships with ppl ALWAYS gets to me.. does the problem really lie with me?? Why can't ppl juz pass each and every day happily?? Why do they ALWAYS hav to complicate stuff?? **frustrated**&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Want to noe who's pissing me off this time?? My supposed NYC best fren. =/ Seriously, are japs more sensitive than others? Or am i juz insensitive to ppl's feelings? She gets mad at me over the slightiest thing, regardless of whether or not i'm the cause of it. I've never encountered such problems with any of my other frens before. Not jill, dora, pearlyn.. etc... I'm exhausted, pissed off.. and everythin else negative... Mayb coz i've never lived with my other close buddies, which is why we never quarrel/argue? We seldom even hav any disagreements! But Nami, she's juz too much i can bear smtimes.. she complains that i never read her moods, i dun understand how she feels. Basically, she feels that I dun care about her?? I'm like thinking.. "what the fuck?!" I go all the way out to help her whenever I can, to spend time with her whenever she wants.. I dun think i've even been so sweet/nice to anyone before, not even my ex-bfs!! Which is juz ironic... but still, it's never enough. My bro says, that's because I indulged her from the start. But.. i was juz tryin 2 be nice, tryin 2 help her the first time I met her, coz she was having problems with her bf.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now that they've broken up, it's not that I mind that she relies on me. I make time for her whenever i can.. but everytime she stays over at my place (which is at least 3 days a wk), we quarrel. We knew each other since last June.. the quarrels started Oct/Nov 07? It has become like an on-goin thing for our frenship now. Whenever we meet, we're at each others' throat. Even if it's juz a conversation on the phone, we end up screamin at each other. I mean we dun literally SCREAM, but we get pissed off, and then we end up ending the call and enter cold war. But every single time, I'm the one who apologizes. =( (mayb except for ONCE) She doesn't say sorry. She vents her anger on me, and then says it's because i'm insensitive towards her feelings. She unleashes a whole load of crap on me, and turns ard and makes me feel it's my fault that I upset her, so I shld apologize. I'm not a ppl person. I think logically, i dun like to let emotions get the better of me. But with her, with Nami, when she begins or when I feel she's gonna break down, I juz surrender. I can't deal with a weaping person. Seriously, i'm always at a lost at wat to do when she does that. So wat do i do? I juz give in..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But yesterday, I juz couldn't take it anymore.... =( I left her stranded there and juz drove off. I know it was mean, but i'd reached my limit. what shld i do? We're goin to move in together... this summer.. she's goin to sg with me... wat if we juz quarrel again everyday??? Sigh sigh sigh....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12386906-6052823856601684263?l=the-painted-world.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12386906/posts/default/6052823856601684263'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12386906/posts/default/6052823856601684263'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://the-painted-world.blogspot.com/2008/03/sick-tired.html' title='Sick &amp; Tired'/><author><name>Christabel</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12386906.post-3668917009910838641</id><published>2008-01-20T17:24:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2008-01-20T17:37:58.162-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Pissed off!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:180%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I'm pissed off! Why? Coz this so-called "fren" of mine juz bought the bag which I've wanted since a month ago! Most ppl would tell me, "It's not YOUR bag! So why can't she buy it? If u had really wanted it so badly, u would hav bought it a long time ago! Ha.. so stop being such a baby!" The thing is, when I first showed the handbag to her online, she kept telling me, "It's so small! Total waste of $$. Not worth it! U shld buy smthin else!" So?!?! If the handbag was as "worthless" as she had claimed it to be, why did she get it?!?! FUCK!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now the qns is: So, why didn't YOU get it? Well, coz when I went to the store last wk, the sales guy told me the color which I wanted, had been out of stock since x'mas! They only had the white one remaining! I wanted the ebony colored one, so I decided to try online shopping. Lo and behold, I found it 2 days ago! When I met her at work today, I was so excited and planned on telling her the good news. Guess wat? She told me that she had bought the white one!!!! Initially, she was planning to get a bigger size one, a totally different patterned one, coz she said it was more appropriate for her since she had many sch textbooks to carry. FUCK FUCK FUCK!! I'm totally cool if my frens want to get the same clothes or stuff as me... i'm pissed off coz she had initally branded my bag to be so worthless!!! If she had liked the bag when I first showed it to her, juz say so! We could hav gone together to get it or smthin.. i would hav been happy that someone shared similar taste as me! But, why lie?!!? No wonder, she didn't dare bring the bag to work together! Hypocritical snake! Seriously....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If she buys the exact same Hermès fragrance as me, I'm sooo gonna slap her! **Coz she had told me that it stinks** Fuck.... i hate lying copycats... they're HATEFUL!! =(&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12386906-3668917009910838641?l=the-painted-world.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12386906/posts/default/3668917009910838641'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12386906/posts/default/3668917009910838641'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://the-painted-world.blogspot.com/2008/01/pissed-off.html' title='Pissed off!'/><author><name>Christabel</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12386906.post-5302985859416925375</id><published>2007-10-01T22:47:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2007-10-02T13:20:17.995-04:00</updated><title type='text'>NINJA New York</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#cc33cc;"&gt;I've been missing in action for a couple of weeks.. but oh well, sch's been tough and hectic... wonder what're my other frens busy with. Anyway, it seems like more and more ppl are signing up for facebook.. haha~ from ICQ to friendster to MSN.. and now, FACEBOOK? What's next? MIXI? Hmmmm...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyways, I went to this NINJA restaurant with my roomie last Sat.. the ambience was good.. there was a magician performing his tricks in front of us, but the food... hmmm i would say it wasn't up to our expectations. We're not gonna go there again but I'd definitely recommend my frens to check that place out. It's cool.. and let's juz say, it's smthin different! haha~ imagine NINJAs serving u ur dinner... hmmm&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, we ordered two different types of sets from the menu. I ordered smthin called "Kunoichi" and he ordered "Hanzou". We each have a first, second, third, and fourth course, followed by desserts *Yum-yum*.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My first course:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://img214.imageshack.us/my.php?image=photo082sm6.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;img alt="Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us" src="http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/4756/photo082sm6.th.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dancing Plaintain&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://img214.imageshack.us/my.php?image=photo084dk9.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#cc33cc;"&gt;Let me digress a little... before our food came, we ordered somethin to drink. I ordered a glass of Ninja Cocktail called Retsu. It was made with pureed banana, Godiva white chocolate, Hazelnut liqueur, Han Asian rice vodka topped with a Dark chocolate mousse sauce. One word - SWEET! It was so sweet.. then i realized, it's a dessert drink. Damn... i shld hav juz stuck with wine... but argh~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://img457.imageshack.us/my.php?image=photo085eg4.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;img alt="Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us" src="http://img457.imageshack.us/img457/5808/photo085eg4.th.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Retsu"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://img457.imageshack.us/my.php?image=photo086xv8.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;img alt="Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us" src="http://img457.imageshack.us/img457/5876/photo086xv8.th.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Japanese mocha &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#cc33cc;"&gt;My roomie ordered a cup of jap mocha.... bitter bitter bitter.... no comments. Let me go back to my first course.... It tasted weird... but it looks pretty, doesn't it? The tomatoe dipping sauce did not taste anywhere near tomatoe sauce.. weird... for the 2nd course, I had sushi rolls. The regular sushi rolls.. nothin special. It was OKAY.... My third course is worth mentioning coz it looked disgusting when the ninja served it to me. It's named Kuro-subuta. It's simmered pork in squid ink tempura batter. Looks gross but the taste wasn't that bad... then again, once is enuff!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://img218.imageshack.us/my.php?image=photo087mz4.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;img alt="Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us" src="http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/9629/photo087mz4.th.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kuro-Subuta&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#cc33cc;"&gt;For my fourth course, Prime steak. There were only a miserable 4 pieces of steak. It was served with Garlic sauce. Not too bad.. not highly recommended though...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://img214.imageshack.us/my.php?image=photo089yl9.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;img alt="Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us" src="http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/3729/photo089yl9.th.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Miserable portion....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://img457.imageshack.us/my.php?image=photo093xy5.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;img alt="Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us" src="http://img457.imageshack.us/img457/5784/photo093xy5.th.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bonsai&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#cc33cc;"&gt;Last but not least, desserts!!! The name of my dessert: Bonsai!! Haha it came exactly like the plant!! haha~ I could eat every part of it!! It was the best part of the dinner!! Yummy.... highly recommended!! Now, let's go on to my roomie's Hanzou set meal. **btw, my set meal is found only in the "secret menu".... sounds mysterious huh....**&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For my roomie's first course: Batto Jutsu. There were sea scallops and salmon layered with a light mix of sauces. It was tasty... but definitely not worth the money.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://img457.imageshack.us/my.php?image=photo084qc4.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;img alt="Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us" src="http://img457.imageshack.us/img457/2504/photo084qc4.th.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;His second course was titled Nigiri Sushi. Six pieces of regular sushi that we can get anywhere in any jap restaurant.. no picture for that! Up next was the 3rd course: Ninja Lobster!!! It was one of the highlights of the night. Crushed Maine lobster, Mushroom and Creamy Américaine sauce and what-nots. Hmmm....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://img214.imageshack.us/my.php?image=photo088kn4.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;img alt="Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us" src="http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/9632/photo088kn4.th.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fourth course - T-Bone steak with Teriyaki sauce. We couldn't finish it... the steak was just right but... the sauce was too salty... ***I felt***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://img218.imageshack.us/my.php?image=photo090fo3.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;img alt="Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us" src="http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/6867/photo090fo3.th.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And for desserts, he ordered a ORIGAMI!! Haha~ It was so-so... but the crane could be eaten. Interesting... isn't it??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://img214.imageshack.us/my.php?image=photo091ww2.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;img alt="Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us" src="http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/7684/photo091ww2.th.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, the bill came up to slightly more than 200 bucks... no comments. But if anyone wants to try it... &lt;a href="http://www.ninjanewyork.com/index.html"&gt;http://www.ninjanewyork.com/index.html&lt;/a&gt; Reservations are required.. no walk-ins! Our next stop: a place that tastes better... with the same or similar ambience!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;**Mark, I finally tried it... &amp;amp; Shunichi and I both hate u now! No secret password was required.. damn it... haha~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12386906-5302985859416925375?l=the-painted-world.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12386906/posts/default/5302985859416925375'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12386906/posts/default/5302985859416925375'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://the-painted-world.blogspot.com/2007/10/ninja-new-york.html' title='NINJA New York'/><author><name>Christabel</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12386906.post-4330566152805881822</id><published>2007-09-26T20:07:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2007-09-26T20:12:46.255-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Mid-Autumn Festival</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;Hide-n-seek, mooncake and other snacks, uno/jenga/"life", apples/bananas dipped in oyster sauce, mayonaise and other what-nots...

First, the trip to Orlando was simply fantastic!!! We had so much fun!! Let me start off with our rental car... it was a new Ford Fusion! A vast difference from my Honda Civic.... Look at the car... sleek and cool.... hmmmm.... the dashboard was also quite pretty.... I'm gonna miss it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://img388.imageshack.us/my.php?image=cimg1850ag1.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6666;"&gt;&lt;img alt="Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us" src="http://img388.imageshack.us/img388/7044/cimg1850ag1.th.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6666;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6666;"&gt;&lt;img alt="Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us" src="http://img444.imageshack.us/img444/6103/cimg1851oh5.th.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6666;"&gt;**Orange State = Florida** haha &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6666;"&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, we reached orlando ard midnite so when we reached our Inn (yes, it was an "Inn" and not "Hotel"!), we immediately changed and dived into the beds. Surprisingly, the rooms were HUGE! With 2 full-sized beds... lucky us... we had a pretty good deal from cheaptickets.com. So anyway, the next morning, we woke up mad early (for the free continental breakfast) and proceeded to the Premium Outlets, which was located near our hotel. As it was a monday (memorial day), there were crazy sales EVERYWHERE!! Of course, I managed to get my Polo Ralph and some other nonsense... I was so tempted to get my burberry handbag!! But damn it, i didn't wanna use up all my $$ on the first day. After shopping hysterically, we proceeded to downtown orlando. Gosh... it was so serene there!! We visited the famous Lake Eola! Having a car makes things easy!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://img381.imageshack.us/my.php?image=cimg1849vu6.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6666;"&gt;&lt;img alt="Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us" src="http://img381.imageshack.us/img381/9431/cimg1849vu6.th.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6666;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;**retarded me..**&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://img444.imageshack.us/my.php?image=cimg1846bi2.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6666;"&gt;&lt;img alt="Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us" src="http://img444.imageshack.us/img444/7154/cimg1846bi2.th.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6666;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://img388.imageshack.us/my.php?image=cimg1824gv6.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6666;"&gt;&lt;img alt="Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us" src="http://img388.imageshack.us/img388/2071/cimg1824gv6.th.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6666;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://img388.imageshack.us/my.php?image=cimg1832fi0.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6666;"&gt;&lt;img alt="Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us" src="http://img388.imageshack.us/img388/5836/cimg1832fi0.th.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6666;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ain't it beautiful??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://img388.imageshack.us/my.php?image=cimg1835ou5.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6666;"&gt;&lt;img alt="Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us" src="http://img388.imageshack.us/img388/567/cimg1835ou5.th.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ff6666;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;My fren, Xiaoling..

Of course there are many things which I want, but I told him, juz smthin nice and appropriate will do. Not necessary for him 2 go to the expense since he's not my bf anyway. Guess wat?? He actually suggested getting a Burberry check wallet for me!! And it costs almost 300 bucks!! Freak!!! I told him it's too expensive but he said usually jap girls demand more expensive gifts, so that's pretty OK. Gosh.... I wish i grew up in japan... all the prada, gucci stuff lingering ard... haha~ If he really buys the wallet for me, i'm gonna buy the bag to match it. Heck if i hav to survive on bread for the next few months or so...... It's a good thing the new sony ericsson ain't out yet... *phew*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Spring break is gonna be over in about 4 days' time... i've been having home cooked meals these days. Why?

Really hope i get a good date this yr.. *wink*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm so addicted to desperate housewives lately... it's mad interesting, their dialogues and expressions.. haha~ american tv is seriously good! When i've the time, gonna start on 24! It's another good serial!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's 4.01pm but i'm feeling sleepy... gotta bring my baby for a car wash tmr! "He" is so freaking dirty! But i'm afraid once i wash it, it's gonna snow again... stupid weather.. always going against me!! Irritating.. it's being surprisingly cold these days! I HATE WINTER!! Was speaking with an old fren earlier this morning and realized that he's going to study in aussie once he's done with his stuff. So many ppl are goin to aussie.. which is good.. haha~ coz if i do take a vacation there, i can get free lodging.. hopefully... anyway, my next hopeful destination is... FLORIDA!! Praying hard that i'll be able to take the time off.... **************&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12386906-116967286407704033?l=the-painted-world.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12386906/posts/default/116967286407704033'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12386906/posts/default/116967286407704033'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://the-painted-world.blogspot.com/2007/01/is-it-bloggercom-or-juz-my-laptop.html' title='Is it blogger.com or juz my laptop?'/><author><name>Christabel</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12386906.post-116896847095551938</id><published>2007-01-16T12:03:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2007-01-16T12:27:50.986-05:00</updated><title type='text'>*SCREAMS*</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;color:#003333;"&gt;I've been so lazy to blog lately but I can't help but vent some of my frustrations here now!! Wat is wrong with mothers??!! Why do they always hav to know who we are dating, which opposite sex we are close to??? My mom juz questioned my about my relationships AGAIN!! The more she knows about how her daughter views and treats relationship, the more astonished she will be. She will not understand why her daughter is like that... blah blah! But seriously, i'm not concerned! Which is why i never discuss any of my relationships with her! But why muz everyone wanna know?? When the time is ripe, when i've found THE ONE, i'd definitely introduce them formally.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I seriously dun see any point in telling them all the nitty gritty stuff... coz a big part of it is juz flirting. Gosh... why can't she juz be concerned about my studies and my health?? Why does she hav to take a step into my dating world? I did not open the "doors" to her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;argh~ anyway, no matter how hard i try 2 convince her that it's not gonna affect my studies, she's not gonna take my word for it. So... forget it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12386906-116896847095551938?l=the-painted-world.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12386906/posts/default/116896847095551938'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12386906/posts/default/116896847095551938'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://the-painted-world.blogspot.com/2007/01/screams.html' title='*SCREAMS*'/><author><name>Christabel</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12386906.post-116833821461169639</id><published>2007-01-09T05:17:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2007-01-09T05:23:34.623-05:00</updated><title type='text'>~Morning~</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;color:#330099;"&gt;5.17am.. wat am I doing online?

I only found out about it from my room mate (2 days ago), when he received a package in the mail. So out of curiosity, I asked, "Is that a title deed??!" He replies, "Yup coz I bought a piece of land on the moon." I still cant believe it!! We can own a piece of the moon?? It's mad right? But here's the information from the company that supposedly own the legal rights to the moon and a few other planets (Mars, Mercury &amp; Venus):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;A declaration of ownership was filed with the United Nations as well as the US and Russian governments 26 years ago by Mr. Dennis M. Hope of the Lunar Embassy, to ensure that a legal basis for the ownership of the properties sold here can be claimed. On that wonderful day in 1980, the Lunar Embassy was born.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If this sounds like a joke to you, please read on, because this is no joke. The sale of lunar property has been ongoing for 26 years by the Lunar Embassy, which are THE ONLY COMPANY in the world to posess a legal basis and copyright for the sale of lunar, and other extraterrestrial property within the confines of our solar system. This is discussed in detail in our general FAQ on this website as well as our space law page (Warning...that one is heavy reading!).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 1996, we opened our first web site, the MoonShop, which was the first Internet website ever, to be selling properties on any extraterrestrial body.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Within 9 months of opening the MoonShop, the Lunar Embassy was showered with Internet awards and an overwhelming press attention worldwide, which is continuing today. At the time of writing, the Lunar Embassy has appeared on TV in over 180 countries worldwide on approximately 80 different TV channels, including CNN International, RTL, NBC and Australia Channel 9 to name just a few. There have been hundreds of press articles and radio shows covering the Lunar Embassy and its offers, which are literally, out of this world.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;So who on Earth buys extraterrestrial property?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The short answer is: EVERYONE. Whilst the Lunar Embassy treat their list of clients confidentially, we can reveal that approximately 250 very well known celebrities as well as two former US presidents are now extraterrestrial property owners. This includes approximately 15 main actors from the original Star Trek series, as well as the Next Generation and Voyager series.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many companies purchase lunar cities or states to give to their customers. Lovers buy them as gifts for their loved ones. Investors buy them for their children. Schoolkids buy them for charity, resell them, and then give thousands of dollars to cancer research. (Yes, this happened recently.) The list of people who buy them is endless. Dentists, lawyers, nurses, space hobbyists, trekkers, doctors, taxi drivers, policemen and up to now, about 30 NASA employees. At the last count over 3,470,072 people are already proud owners of their extraterrestrial property, with properties on the Moon being the hot forerunner of course (because these are the only properties you can easily see from Earth), coming in at approximately 2'524'728 customers, and Mars owners currently running at 945'344 customers. (Yes, these numbers are recent.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm considering to buy a piece of land on Venus. haha~ anybody wants to buy too? LOL.. Look at their introductory paragraph! Sounds so sweet and loving..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/hello/136/3148/640/venusproperty.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="BORDER-RIGHT: #000000 1px solid; BORDER-TOP: #000000 1px solid; MARGIN: 2px; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 1px solid; BORDER-BOTTOM: #000000 1px solid" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/hello/136/3148/320/venusproperty.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The properties of Venus with your name printed on the deed &lt;a href="http://picasa.google.com/blogger/" target="ext"&gt;&lt;img style="BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; BORDER-TOP: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; PADDING-TOP: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px" alt="Posted by Picasa" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif" align="absMiddle" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;The ultimately romantic gift. Each single property comes with three documents (The Venutian Deed, the Venutian Map and the Venutian Constitution and Bill of Rights), as well as the shortstory: “YOU OWN WHAT?” which includes the declaration of ownership filed with the United States, the USSR and the United Nations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All documents are individually marked by us and indicate the precise location of your property. All of the certificates are printed on 11 inch x 14 inch simulated parchment paper suitable for framing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Further, all the details pertaining to your properties are recorded in our computerized registry of extraterrestrial property owners, which is treated completely confidentially.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If you order more than one property, the properties will be next to each other.&lt;/strong&gt; --&gt;&lt;/em&gt; Haha~ this sentence is funny...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;color:#cc66cc;"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12386906-116066732319404131?l=the-painted-world.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12386906/posts/default/116066732319404131'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12386906/posts/default/116066732319404131'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://the-painted-world.blogspot.com/2006/10/buy-some-land-on-planets.html' title='Buy some land on the planets'/><author><name>Christabel</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12386906.post-115988834567935178</id><published>2006-10-03T11:08:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2006-10-03T11:12:25.706-04:00</updated><title type='text'>I'm mad!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;color:#996633;"&gt;I saw HIM in the morning today!!!

The first time was at almost 2am about 1 month ago... and earlier today.. at 9.15pm, u met him at the same bus stop, and both boarded the same bus again. He gets off 1 bus stop after u, and he's living in one of the luxurious houses for law students. Yes, he did mentioned that he was in the law faculty. Well.. i guess i'll call it FATE if we take the same bus another 3 more times... wat am I getting myself into? *dreams* &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12386906-115924662959305313?l=the-painted-world.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12386906/posts/default/115924662959305313'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12386906/posts/default/115924662959305313'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://the-painted-world.blogspot.com/2006/09/wondering.html' title='Wondering..'/><author><name>Christabel</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12386906.post-115894898902801479</id><published>2006-09-22T13:59:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2006-09-22T14:16:29.113-04:00</updated><title type='text'>It's friday!!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;color:#cc66cc;"&gt;Yeah!! Friday is ALWAYS the best day of the wk...! =P Wat did i do today? I spent 25 bucks on a stupid lab coat... but at least I look good in it! Haha~ Hmm... can't wait to start working in the hospital.. shld be mad cool... anyway, I managed to get my lazy butt up by 5.45am this morning and into the lecture hall by 7am. For ONCE, I was earlier than the prof! Haha~ surprise, surprise! But the point was, the lecture was simply a total waste of my time. Argh~ my bio prof sux!!! He was lecturing us about carbonyl, carboxylic acid groups.. et cetera.. and then he drew the structure of a super obvious propanal. But when it came to naming that compound, he actually told us that it was called ethanal!! One of my lecture mates pointed out to him that he was wrong, but he insisted that he was right.... we were like... "wat the hell??!" Then, he decided to refer to the great and marvelous textbook, and realized to his horror that HE HAD MADE A MISTAKE!!! I can't believe that he's our professor.. crap....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Instead of apologizing and admitting to his mistake, he tried to find means and ways to explain why he thot it was ethanal and not propanal. Terrible... but then, it led me wondering... wat if i was in his position?? I think i would have been utterly embarrassed! Seriously... profs ALWAYS insist that their students read ahead so that when they come to class, they'll understand wat the prof is trying to teach. But i feel, professors themselves SHOULD read their own lecture notes (ahead of time) so they'll know that they're teaching us the right stuff! HMPH! =)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm supposed to hav my first bio exam next wk but guess wat? It has been postponed to Oct... due to the jewish religious wk...yeah! More time to study?? No... more time for me to read my theology books... damn... the class is BORING.... i love my human anatomy class!! Seriously, my professor is so damn freaking entertaining!! Everyone in class loves her!! She's witty and she knows her stuff!! I love listening to all the case studies which she encountered with her patients...! There's juz so much to learn and know en-route to being a PA! I'm getting more and more interested in the PA profession! Can't wait to graduate!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12386906-115894898902801479?l=the-painted-world.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12386906/posts/default/115894898902801479'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12386906/posts/default/115894898902801479'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://the-painted-world.blogspot.com/2006/09/its-friday.html' title='It&apos;s friday!!'/><author><name>Christabel</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12386906.post-115829546667944970</id><published>2006-09-15T00:33:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2006-09-15T00:45:28.656-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Homemaker</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;color:#3366ff;"&gt;Guess where I've been frequenting lately?!

There are new depths to explore in your relationship. If you can't understanding their actions or changes, you must ask them. Open up communications. You will both turn a corner together, and what lies ahead of you is a lifetime of adventures and joy. Let this positivism buoy you in other areas of you life. Even at work, you can create a bright future by talking more honestly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Haha~ That's my horoscope for the day? Is it really true? I wonder...! Anyway, relationships aside for now. Yesterday, i finally went to the beach. And instead of getting a sun tan, i had a sun BURNT! Wat the dulce!??

In 48 hrs' time, i will be OFFICIALLY done with this semester. Argh~ 3 papers in a day.. most of my frens were wondering why i didn't request to postpone one of the exams to another day. My cousin was surprised that there were no time conflicts between all 3 papers! *lol* But then, i juz wanna get over and done with this semester.. anyway i'll be transferring to st. john's next sem, so it doesn't really matter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There's nothin much for me to do in the clinic for the morning, actually there is, but i dun feel like doing it. Haha~ So i logged on into Friendster to re-read the testimonials that my frens left for me... Very sweet testimonials there... reminds me of the time that we spent together. Really miss those gd ol'days... then there were sm frens, wished that i had handled our relationship in another way. It's funny how close frens become juz mere aquaintances as the years go by... I dun even know wat went wrong in our relationship. The feeling sux.. but i guess that's juz life. Frens come and go.. we only need 1 true fren, and I'm glad that i've a few. Really gonna cherish our friendship! =)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well then, shan't go on. Shldn't dwell too much on the past! Haha~ Everyone's gotta move on, as much as we hate it. Growing up seems to be a slow and painful process, no doubt we will learn lotsa valuable lessons, STILL, we can't ignore the fact that we had to go thru those pain before we FINALLY learnt smthin. Who said that life was smooth-sailing?! Damn it... I love my life, but i wish i can do more with it. Human beings, juz greedy... or mayb it's juz me huh... haha~ Never satisfied with what i hav... complains, complains and more complains.

Marriage is not a word. It's a sentence (a life sentence).&lt;br /&gt;2. Marriage is love. Love is blind. Therefore marriage is an institution for the blind.&lt;br /&gt;3. Marriage is an institution in which a man loses his Bachelor's Degree and the woman gets her Masters.&lt;br /&gt;4. Marriage is a three-ring affair: the engagement ring, the wedding ring and suffering.&lt;br /&gt;5. Married life is full of excitement and frustration: In the first year of marriage, the man speaks and the woman listens. In the second year, the woman speaks and the man listens. In the third year, they both speak and the NEIGHBOR listens.&lt;br /&gt;6. Getting married is very much like going to a restaurant with friends. You order what you want, and when you see what the other person has, you wish you had ordered that instead.&lt;br /&gt;7. There was this man who muttered a few words in the church and found himself married. A year later he muttered something in his sleep and found himself divorced.&lt;br /&gt;8. A happy marriage is a matter of giving and taking; the husband gives and the wife takes.&lt;br /&gt;9. Son: How much does it cost to get married, Dad? Father: I don't know son, I'm still paying for it.&lt;br /&gt;10. Son: Is it true Dad? I heard that in ancient China, a man doesn't know his wife until he marries her. Father: That happens everywhere, son, EVERYWHERE!&lt;br /&gt;11. Love is one long sweet dream, and marriage is the alarm clock.&lt;br /&gt;12. They say that when a man holds a woman's hand before marriage, it is love; after marriage it is self-defence.&lt;br /&gt;13. When a newly married man looks happy, we know why. But when a 10-year married man looks happy, we wonder why.&lt;br /&gt;14. There was this lover who said that he would go through hell for her. They got married, and now he is going through HELL.&lt;br /&gt;15. Confucius says: Man who sinks into woman's arm soon have arms in woman's sink.&lt;br /&gt;16. When a man steals your wife, there is no better revenge than to let him keep her.&lt;br /&gt;17. Eighty percent of married men cheat in America, the rest cheat in Europe.&lt;br /&gt;18. After marriage, husband and wife become two sides of a coin. They just can't face each other, but still they stay together.&lt;br /&gt;19. Marriage is man and a woman become one. The trouble starts when they try to decide which one.&lt;br /&gt;20. Before marriage, a man yearns for the woman he loves. After the marriage the "Y" becomes silent.&lt;br /&gt;21. I married Miss right, I just didn't know her first name was Always.&lt;br /&gt;22. It's not true that married men live longer than single men, it only seems longer.&lt;br /&gt;23. Losing a wife can be hard. In my case, it was almost impossible.&lt;br /&gt;24. A man was complaining to a friend: I HAD IT ALL-MONEY, A BEAUTIFUL HOUSE, THE LOVE OF A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN, THEN POW! IT WAS ALL GONE. WHAT HAPPENED? asked his friend. He says MY WIFE FOUND OUT.&lt;br /&gt;25. WIFE: Let's go out and have some fun tonight. HUSBAND: OK, but if you get home before I do, leave the hallway lights on.&lt;br /&gt;26. At a cocktail party, one woman said to another: AREN`T YOU WEARING YOUR RING ON THE WRONG FINGER? The other replied, YES, I AM. I MARRIED THE WRONG MAN.&lt;br /&gt;27. Man is incomplete until he gets married, then he is finished.&lt;br /&gt;28. It doesn't matter how often a married man changes his job, he still ends up with the same boss.&lt;br /&gt;29. A man inserted an ad in the paper - WIFE WANTED. The next day he received a hundred letters and they all said the same thing - YOU CAN HAVE MINE.&lt;br /&gt;30. When a man opens the door of his car for his wife, you can be sure of one thing - either the car is new or the wife is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think most of what is written above is crap... muz be written by some male chauvinist pig.. *tsk tsk* Anyway, went to watch Scary Movie 4 today.

It's already Apr 7th! But nevertheless, i had a great time this yr...!! Even though i didn't get to celebrate with any of my frens... u know why? Coz it rained, then snowed like mad on Apr 5th!! Shoot... was supposed to meet a few of my frens for luncheon, but the moment we stepped out of the chem lecture theatre, we realized it was raining cats n dogs! Since Diana didn't drive that day, we had to part ways n go home. Argh~ The worst thing was that i forgot to bring my umbrella, n i wasn't wearing my water-proof jacket. Thank god, jeannie brought a huge one (i wonder why... haha~) n she was taking the same bus as moi, so she was providing shelter for me all the way!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, that was my afternoon. By evening time, the stupid rain/snow had ceased. Headed out with my relatives to Flushing for dinner... the food was great! Lobster, crabs, abalone, sharks' fins... et cetera. But as usual, i couldn't eat that much. Then it was time for my bday cake to make a grand entrance! The cake was DELICIOUS!! All thanks to my KIND cousin (for once! haha~) n my bro who bought it for me. Häagen-Dazs ice-cream cake! Top layer was chocolate ice-cream n the bottom, bailey's ice-cream! YUMMY!!

I'm in the mood to post up some pictures taken at my new college's open hse last sunday! The varsity's huge!! They even built their own church, which is freaking nice! But then again, it's a private uni, with exorbitant sch fees! ^*#(!The dorms look gd (from the outside), but the inside... erm.. no comments... but doesn't really matter coz I'm only gonna stay there for 1 semester. =)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Managed to get more details about the PA program from the professors there... found out that the course i chose is really damn difficult!! Statistics from last yr: first-yr students admitted into the PA prgram - 170++. By the following yr, only 70++ were left... n a yr later, only 50++ remained!! SHIT!! I'm so worried that i wun be able to cope with the work... n even after i become a PA, have to take an exam every 6 yrs!! Argh~ Is this really wat i want? Did i really make the right choice?

You are attracted to those who have split personality, like cold as ice on the outside, but hot as fire in the heart.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. In the process of courtship, the approach that would make you feel irresistable is straight-forward, just tell you he/she loves you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. The impression you would like to give to your lover is optimistic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. You don't like it when your partner is emotional and/or too moody; and you don't know how to please him/her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. The kind of relationship you would like to build with your partner is one that you care not only about the present but also the future with your partner, a long-lasting relationship that you can grow with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. You are tolerant; you'll try very hard not to commit adultery.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. You think of marriage as a precious thing. Once you get married, you'll treasure it and your partner very much.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8. At this moment, you don't have the thirst for love, you can't do anything for it, you won't fall for it easily.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;OMG!!!

I expect a great dinner to be on table unless I tell you that I won't be home for dinner. I'll go hunting, fishing, boozing and card-playing whenI want with my old buddies and don't you give me a hard time about it. Those are my rules.

She comes to the phone after many rings, and the irritated husband says, "What took you so long to answer the phone?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She says, "I was in bed."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"In bed this early, doing what?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Getting a second opinion!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(YEP, HE HAD THAT ONE COMING, TOO!)&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Marriage - Part IV&lt;br /&gt;A man has six children and is very proud of his achievement. He is so proud of himself, that he starts calling his wife,"Mother of Six" despite of her objections. One night, they go to a party. The man decides that it was time to go home and wants to find out if his wife is ready to leave as well. He shouts at the top of his voice, "Shall we go home 'Mother of Six?'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;His wife, irritated by her husband's lack of discretion, shouts right back, "Anytime you're ready, Father of Four."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(RIGHT ON, LADY!)&lt;br /&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Marriage - Part V&lt;br /&gt;A man and his wife were having some problems at home and were giving each other the silent treatment.

Not wanting to be the first to break the silence (and LOSE), he wrote on a piece of paper, "Please wake me at 5:00 AM." He left it where he knew she would find it. The next morning, the man awoke, only to discover it was 9:00 AM and he had missed his flight. Furious, he was about to go and see why his wife hadn't awakened him when he noticed a piece of paper by the bed. The message on the paper read, "It is 5:00 AM.
