Busted cookies

Pretty free this week. Cos i'm diligently waiting by my phone for my agent to call me about bank jobs available. No tr for me. =X

And my efforts paid off! She called this morn to inform me that the FI (i've yet to know the name) had accepted me as a temp and i'll be contracted to work till end aug. How nice.. i'll have money to go japan in Sep! =) And i didn't have to go for interview too!
Time for me to shop for blouses and heels and bags.

++++

Ytday was a pretty fun day. Hee!
Dear had casually commented for me to cook us lunch the night before, and i've bravely took up the challenge!

As a cooking idiot, i wanted to whip up a meal of omelette jap curry rice. Which of cos, is the easiet and simplest to cook since the jap curry is ready-made. But my fear was confirmed when i went marketing cos Shop n Save don't bring in such less sought after products. Oh well.

Plan B. Fried rice omelette.
So i bought prawns, crab sticks.. and even octopus tori. Caught my eye. So gave it a try. And also stuffs for making cookies. WE'RE GONNA MAKE COOKIES! Hehehe..

I think i smelt fishy the whole day. From peeling and cleaning the prawns of it's intestines. Bleah. Anw, my first attempt to cook someone a meal was a SUCCESS! Dear gave me 101/100. Whahaa.. Ureshii!! ^^

But cookie making was a disaster.
The final and most crucial step. I pressed the wrong sequence to the microwave. So the cookies were burnt to the core. Literally. Could only salvage a few and the last batch, which turned out not many anw. First cookie making failure. Oh well. =(

At least the process of making it with dear was well.. dear to the heart. ^^

Sentosa

Friday was a day for Sentosa!

Had no choice but to do opening for tr. Drizzled in the morn, but it's okay! Clouds parted and the sun is shining brightly down on s'pore once again. Yay~ My prayers worked.. hehe.

Reached Sentosa ard 3pm. Was a little rush on the agenda of things we wanted to do. Oh no!
Stopped by Siloso Beach to catch the animal show. Then it was time for the star.. Underwater World! Been ages since i last step foot in the giant aquarium and i was literally trembling with excitement.

By sheer luck or wat. Sg citizens get 30% off admission. And we made it for the promo period. Yay! Went Dolphin Lagoon first cos it closes at 6pm(?) There were ALOT of tourist that day. Gosh. While waiting for the performance to start, we truely felt like we're tourists in India. O_o;;
Juz before the show ended, dear spotted a red note among the sand smiling up at him. It's a freakin $10 bill! Woo.. everyone left in a scurry and well.. you could say finders keepers. *winkz*

Underwater World was kinda disappointing tho. Perhaps i've lived my expectations based on 10yrs ago too highly. Oh well. It was still pretty fun tho. ^^

Wanted to go to the Sky Towers to catch sunset. Rui had said it was magnificent. But we couldn't make it in time, hence.. we're off to dinner!

Looking at the eateries available, it was an uanimous vote for Sakae by the beach! (",)/
The food was great as usual. And to our surprise, dear's fren is the supervisor there! In the end, we got 10% off and free ice-creams! YuMz. I never knew the ice-cream was that u-mai!!

Then it was home sweet home for us. =)

p.s Main com is spoilt! Motherboard gone case le... hence, gotta wait before i can post up more pics of bdays and sentosa!

bday bash

Date : 17 June 2005
Time: 7 pm
Venue: My house

Yes.. the much "dreaded" day is here! I'm finally turning 21. An adult! Can go casino, can buy shares, can apply for flat, can get married... a symbol of a brand new phase in life ahead of me.

Well, the actual date was 16/6 but i suppose friday would be a more appropriate day for celebration. =)

Thnx to everyone who came down and the presents too. ^^

Busy day! But fun. And definitely memorable. As wat Joel had said, "the only time in your life where you have a reason to gather all your friends and celebrate together". *nods* Good thing i didn't do away with the hassle of having a party (i dun have the habit of having bday parties).

Yupz.. it was definitely a sight to behold to see all your different friends congregated at the same place. Hmm!

p.s Wished u were here!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LIFANG!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MICHELLE!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PEIYING!

improntu shopping

To think i was searching for nice shorts everywhere..

Wasn't planning to work for the week cos i need to prepare for my bday celebration. The cake.. the catering.. the guests..

But i suppose i needed money. HAHA! And moreover, Yaya was to start work too! (After an "arduous journey" of getting interviewed and orientated. Bah ) Hence, cannot leave my fren in the lurch right?
Alas... her trainer was away so training had to be delayed another wk. WTH.

Since it was still early, had decided to shop ard before gg home. And came back with unplanned loot! Hee.. nothing can make me more happy than cheap deal. Hehe!

Pre Bday Prep

What can i say. It's been a happening wk!!

Friday
Had a FREE session of KLunch. (Yes. Complete with food n the superb ice lemon tea! Envy ba!!) Complimentary of Yaya who bought JJ's album. Arigatou!!
Went walking around town.
Bought Hana Yori Dango comics. Finally complete le!
Bought Jan's PM skirt.
And my cat's nose picked up smth fishy. *zip* Mouth sealed. I shall juz pretend i dunno. =X

Saturday
Had fun working at tr! Finally can see my 2nd home after so loong. Hehe! And of cos.. TR jie mei huas re-unite once again!! Wee.. gotta work with Jan! ^^ (Yaya! We'd be waiting for u!)
Perhaps it was the midnight Suntec extravaganza. Tr was unusually quiet on a Saturday night!
I was host with.. JOANNE. Argh. Had heard so much stuffs about her till she was being discriminated by me before i even noe her. My bad.

After work was CAN! WOo-hoO!
Had a crowd. Reached quite late cos Jan did closing and we couldn't leave till 11.30pm.
Thanks to ayc & zz for chope-ing our seats! ^^ And i get to see dear too!
But alas. None left of our fav milkshakes except Mango Tango. It tasted.. disappointing. ARGH!
The table was dominated by lotsa Choco + Mocha floats instead.
Had bouts of "99" but i guess everyone was pretty tired. I was gonna sleep le!
Saw jx n cx coming in. Even Gerard was there too.

Now the highlight.
I NEARLY LOST MY HP!!! Urgh...
Only realised after sending Jan n zz home. So we rushed back to CAN.
Luckily they found it, and we made it back juz before closing. Huge sigh of relief man!! This makes the 2nd time i nearly lost a hp. Bah.
Sorry ayc! Made u go home so late!
Thanks dear! I dunno wat to do without you.. and your Ferrlori. ^^

++++

So meanwhile, i should be working my ass off. To pay off fine! WTH.


[ $70!! Mai siao siao. T^T ]


[Bet you've never kept a UN-torn ticket stub!!]

p.s Thnx for the present dear!! I'm so touched. Love ya!! *MuakZ*

Enlistment Day

We may constantly bicker. Throwing verbal insults at each other.
Throughout our childhood, we'll fight for nonsensical things. From toys, tv to attention.
In a fit of anger, I even bit u, remember?
Being older and more aggressive, I always emerge victorious. Or perhaps, you always let me have my way. I suppose that's why i used to be so demanding and arrogant.

Nontheless, you've filled my childhood days with so much fun, peace and laughter.
From playing masak-masak and Barbies (Ha! Ur little secret is OUT!) to building our LEGO empire; Teen agnst phase where we fought over computer usage; till now, where we'll confide problems with each other.

I used to swear my life would be so much better without you.
But i guess not.
Life wouldn't be the same without you. You're the best brother i can ever have.

May NS make you a better MAN. ^^



[A note to first-timers to tekong: Male visitors MUST wear proper shoes n long pants. No matter you're old/young. Alot of ppl cocked-up on this. Including us. My cousin lah.. wear berms. Females.. chin cai one lah.]

[BMTC! Where my bro is gonna spend his nx 3mths...]


[Bro posted to NINJA company. Their bunks.. looks not bad ya?! Recreation room even got PS2.]


[The meal we're being served at the cookhouse. Not bad. BUT IT'S JUZ A FACADE!!!]

After a very tiring and hot day at tekong, we can finally reside back into the comfort of our homes. Ahh~~ Too bad ah, brother! =p

EXAM OVER!

*arms akimbo*

MY EXAMS ARE OVER!!!!!!!

(Looks left) PUAHAHAHAHA!!

(Looks right) PUAHAHAHAHA!!

*~*conffetti showers from above~*~*

Embracing the hols that await me. Ahh.. the air smells soOo delectable!

-smug-

p.s Is it me? Or is Hello not working?!

crabby me

Well, you can say i was very bo liao.

I did a yahoo search on "rowie".
Guess what? There's someone else using it as a blog add! --> I'm rowie No.2!!
Even yang yang's blog appeared twice. But where's mine?! O_o"

Then i proceeded to type my name.
Apparantly there's a professor teaching Biological Science in NUS with the same name as me!
Hehe.. but still no own blog add appearing. Which is good news?!

To justify my bo liao-ness, i was initially doing a search on "Shunji Matsuo" to see their rates. Was thinking of cutting my hair/changing my hairstyle. But apparantly, there were none. Only reviews, forum discussions and even blogs which briefly mentioned it! Talk about how easy it is for others to access your personal thoughts space.

++++

Feeling kinda crabby lately.
Been grouching and moping around the house. Getting easily irritated and annoyed. Especially my mom who's like keep asking me for help regarding the com EVERY OTHER DAY. Argh. Not like she's doing it on purpose lah, but i juz wasn't feeling extremely helpful. Bleahz~
So guys, if i've been kinda listless and unfocused, pls forgive me!

Perhaps it's PMS.
Pretty Messed-up Shit. Or Pendulum Mood Swings. Or..
Sigh.
3 more days till exam over! SAVE ME!!! I can't study anymore!! Feel like exploding.
Which i'm gonna take it out on my piano. Sorry dude.. i've been banging on you for the past 13yrs. But you're my only pal who is able to project my inner most thoughts without having me to say anything. Love ya!!

Speaking of which, i've stumbled across Howl's Moving Castle's score!!!!
It's so beautiful... pm me if you want it! =)

ambition

I wanted to be an architect when i was in Primary school.
Not singer, nor dancer, nor teacher, nor rubbish collector. But architect.

While the guy sitting beside me can sprout various models and specs of aircraft, i was ignorant of my future. Now, what do i want to do when i grow up? What interests me? Hmm..

And so, when time came to scribble and decorate autograph books with nonsensical poems and such (Birds fly high, hard to catch. Friends like you, hard to find! Sounds familiar?? Haha!), I proudly printed my ambition down.

"Ambition: Architect..."

There. With a smile on my face, i suddenly felt impressed with myself for knowing what i want to be when i grow up. It just made me feel so grown up. Proving not to be an empty vessel, i really did indulge myself with interior designing from the IKEA magazines lying around the house. It was my interest. I found my future. *blingblingbling*

Thinking back, i'm kinda amazed at what i did. O_o"

Transiting into Secondary school, I grew aware of the world around me. And the more i knew, the smaller my bubble became.

I realised that to fulfil my "dream", i need Physics background. Now, i'm not particularly good in Science in the first place. To study current flow/batteries/oscillation (whatever!) is a definite NO-NO for me. I enjoyed nature. I chose Biology. And promptly burst my own bubble.

However, it was also that moment that i realised i wanted to pursue a career of being a vet. To be immersed with nature and not cold hard concrete. I formed a bigger bubble. My dream job would be to roam around the world, doing research on wildlife amongst the lush green canopy of the Amazon or the barren lands of African safari plains. *blingblingbling*

Yeah right. Dream on.
Reality slapped me twice on my cheeks. It was simply near impossible. Here is Singapore leh. Need to be practical wor. Don't play play lah!!

And so, my bubble burst once again. And it's time to choose my course in JC.
Sometimes i wonder, the choices are so limited. What difference does it make? Why can't MOE just do away with JC and have pre-U instead? Like what if i wanna be an entreprenuer, why must i freaking take Chemistry or History? (no offence intended) Can't they make our subjects more relevant?
Anw, funny thing is.. i'm really not a Science person but i dunno why i die die also must take Science. -_-" Making my own life miserable i tell ya.

Yet once again, i transit into another phase in life. Stumbling blindly and scraping my way through education. Which somehow, after graduating, I don't feel so educated anyway. (wth...)

So here i am, almost finishing my 2nd year studies in U, yet still unsure of what my future holds. I really admire those people who knows what they are doing, and strives towards that goal. (Like dear!) They just seem so confident. Hmpf! Not fair!

5 years down the road, will i be constantly in the air as a flight stewardess? Or making business transactions in the corporate world? Or managing a hotel along Orchard Rd? Or counting my chips after mahjong session?

Only time will tell...
