it's 2012!

2012-01-04T13:23:00.000-08:00

thankful that nothing crashed when the clock striked 12mn on 1st January 2012 (:

so it will just be down to 20.12.2012 to see if it's true. I really hope no because I've yet to get married and have a family of my own.

anyhow, I've been busy all the way since 21st dec'11 with events, chillouts and parties. albeit I was worn out and down with flu with activites packed back to back, it felt so awesome. This holiday was a little different cause I had time for friends & family, as well as spending some me-time.

on 21st dec, did a mini runway show at Attica Too for Kisslocke & Knightingale. love the heels & the awesome quality of apparels.

the make up seems a tad' too dark for my complexion.

i looked like i just went for tanning (somehow).

with the rest of the pretty ladies (:

together with the 3 owners - bubbly ladies

spent x'mas eve with my family at swissotel attending a wedding dinner.

bride is dad's cousin and she's only 24. married into a rich family and the newly wed couple had their wedding photos taken in Paris - city of romance. god damn envious cause expenses to Paris is exorbitant.

simple dinner with a few friends on christmas day itself.

dinner at astons followed by drinks/xmas exchange at prive. (:

got the guys to try out the cheese mushroom there which was really good but we forgot to warn them that it was piping hot when they took the first bite, hence the expression. oops guys! (:

I've been playing with this new app on my phone called "gif" recently and am totally in love with it.

there's a lot of templates to choose from and for that few seconds of recording, you're supposed to act out or do a short play. and here's what four of us got! (:

chose the keyhole template. cute, aren't we? (:

Did a casual shoot again with CJ just 2 weeks back and here's the outcome after 1.5 hours.

with very minimal makeup: drew my brows, conceal the imperfections and mascara.

I had a short stayover sometime after christmas; somewhere in sg. it went well. for that 24 hours, I didn't feel like I was in sg - relaxing and chilling (:

Then came NYE. I had last minute plans to work, the deal to work on that day was just too good.

1st event was at Ritz Carlton followed by another at MBS.

So i had the privilege to work at MBS again and it was much better this time because at 12mn, I got to watch the 8mins fireworks. everyone just stopped at what they were doing when the fireworks went off and what made it even more amazing was that I watched it at the 56th level.

the view from the 56th level. breathtaking with the night lights.

never fail to tease her whenever I see her (:

End of work didnt get me to go home even though I wanted to. The cab queue was insane at MBS. I can easily say there were more than 100 people queuing at each of their taxi stand (there are 3 taxi stands in total, if im not wrong). So I walked to cityhall and called up the guys and asked where they were after work. since I couldn't go home, so i joined them for their friends' countdown party at Swissotel presidential suite.

I have to say that, it was my craziest night ever for the past 21 years of my life. Suite was on 66th floor, people inside were partying with loud music blasting that I could even hear when I was at the door. Room was dark with faint lights here and there, people dancing, lying on the floor and guys were all topless. (it was past 1am when I've reached.)

Not surprised by the fact that they were all so high because they've finished all the champagnes, red wines and hard liquor by the time we were there. (there were more than 60 bottles by the way.)

But was indeed surprised that no hotel guests complained that night because we were really chaotic. I partied with them, got a little tipsy with that bit of alcohol (yeah, I suck at drinking) but was sober enough. Had mcdonald's at 4am with many other strangers who didn't go home after countdown, like myself.

Literally didn't catch a wink at all till 8am when I left for home while my boy just zonked out at the sofa.

Never enjoyed a party as much as this one, probably cause there were people around whom I'm familiar and comfortable with. awesome. don't mind another one again over a festive season. (:

& anyway, I've been hanging around with people who are older than me recently and probably that's why Ive been mistaken that I'm already in the working society.

maybe when I'm one or two year old younger, it doesn't really matter to me but now that I'm 21 ... reality does hurt when people said that I don't look 21 :(

o' tell me, if I look that matured, seriously?

sony - beautiful skin effect

2011-12-19T11:47:00.000-08:00

the file size of this collage is so big, it takes a while for me to load it on photobucket then over to here.

took the above photos in taiwan with my new pink camera - using beautiful skin effect.

the effect works, doesn't it? (:

3rd last friday of 2011

2011-12-16T23:37:00.000-08:00

just yesterday, I was complaining about being unemployed and bumming around at home ... then a phone-call came in the noon with a job offer.

pay wasn't incredible but cy & myself were happy enough to accept it because we both proclaimed that we're broke. sad but true. :(

7 hours won't have past by easily today if not for her company and some nonsense we faced at work.

the event co. is screwed or ought to be screwed for always giving half-past six instructions and eating up our pay.

I would be nice and understanding if things were told clearly beforehand or at the very least, some decent welfare at work. but no, so I'll say no and not give in too because I study math. math is logical/fair and I felt that we're being treated unfairly. Or to be more direct, I felt cheated. so I won't give in to a pte.ltd company complying to what shit rule that MOM has for you. i'm no boss of a company, just a student.

Made my way to town cause I scheduled a manicure appointment and I'm pretty happy with my blue shimmer gradient nails. can't stop touching and looking at it! (:

had a good chat with the manicurist (a local) and it makes me wonder when was the last time I came across a made-in-singapore manicurist.

and, Im having a headache over presents now. checked out burberry at paragon and the belt sizes run big. one design caught my eye cause of its metal buckle but it's not really "wow" enough to make me want to buy it.

how?

mish-mash of my thoughts

2011-12-15T10:45:00.000-08:00

I'm trying to sort out my Taiwan photos via photoscape and it's really a bitch organizing and rearranging them.

so I admire bloggers who spend time taking photos, editing them and then churning out a post.

I can never do that.

and I realize whenever I do up a post, it's either halfway through the year or coming to the end of it.

so this time round, it's coming to the end of 2011.

as much as how many are talking about the doom's year - 2012, especially after the movie, I guess it's pretty much a year which I'm looking forward to. It's going to mark the last academic year of my life and if all goes well (I hope), I get a decent job. It's exciting for me (at least) because I'll be embracing a new phase and how I want to write this new chapter shall lie in my hands as well as some luck and faith.

If holidays mean rest & fun with no work, then I'm currently living the right way. It's ironic that I don't have much assignments (like I used to for other semester breaks) especially when the festive seasons are just round the corners which usually meant job peak season. but oh well, living a bummer life sounds pretty good too when no school work is involved. (:

slapping on masks almost every other day because I have more than 13 boxes at home; all from taiwan. hydrating myself by drinking almost 8 big glasses of water, enough sleep and yes food. but no exercise because no motivation :( Been staying home a lot because I'm trying to save money since I've got no income now and someone's birthday is coming which will then deplete my account to an all-time low. Think I will fall into depression by then because I really love to see the digits in my account going up and not down, how?

No reasons as to why I should give an exorbitant gift but I can't find something cheap & good which I think the person will like. We're not together, but we quarreled pretty much frequently and I figured that it wasn't prejudice - but flaws in character? being straightforward as well as his own personal development, I just told him straight. if he's smart (in an EQ-way), then he will get it and do something about it. If he doesn't, then it's too bad because it's really none of my business. I only take charge of my life and to those whom I care and care for me as well (:

turning 21st soon ... (but not yet!)

2011-08-07T11:34:00.000-07:00

after days/weeks of preparation, the party ended on friday (:

it was a blast! I really enjoyed myself despite being busy running around.
at least I've time to eat, enjoy and have fun laughing at how my friends tried to crack the code and act out for my games.
it's also good when u see your friends making friends with your other group of friends and they hit off well because of the games. (:

many thanks to cheng for helping me to "jagar" everything even though I know she's tired. *bbf!
though I know it's my party ... somehow, I still feel shy talking in front of so many people cause u know that all eyes were on you. hahaha.
im glad my party didnt flop and the venue was really a good location - SMU glassroom cafe!
received many compliments for its cosy settings; nice place to chill.

too much to say & neverending love to all who attended the party on friday :D
by far, the most memorable day in 2011 for me!

*counting down 11 days to my actual 21st!*

xoxo, Jaime

EXCITED* (:

2011-08-05T01:03:00.000-07:00

I've been feeling empty for the past 2 weeks cause I was jobless :(
it's kind of sad cause I won't be able to look forward to the next month where pay is usually issued.

to feel up the "emptiness", I've been busy prepping for my 21st party.
it's super *BE-EARLY!*
like 2 weeks before!

I guess on my actual 21st (which is the 18th of aug), I'll feel lost or something.
it seems stupid to celebrate like way too early but cause my b'day always falls on the 2nd week of school and it's pretty hard to get everyone to come together when we're all busy.
hence, the early celebration.

anyway, I way exceeded my budget which I've capped for previously.
I've been escaping by (intentionally) not doing any calculation for my b'day spending till today,
and ... *slaps face HARD*, I hit 4-digits!

now, I can totally understand how it feels like to spend hard earned money.
money is never too hard to spend, yet never too easy to earn.
this totally explains why I've been working so hard over the holidays. I love to spend but I need to work doubly hard to make what I spent worthwhile.

as much as my heart and bank account bleed, I hope all will go on well later tonight.
enough food, friends to have fun as well as to enjoy the games which I've planned. (:

Im really looking forward and excited cause this 21st, i've invited all the people whom I wanted to see. I don't feel obligated inviting anyone (unlike last year *) so I hope it will be a blast! (:

not a big group of people but definitely worth my time, money & effort to make it a good one to all my guests!

xoxo, Jaime

A Black Diamond!

2011-07-29T01:50:00.000-07:00

Im currently exclusive to ABlackDiamond tgt with six other girls (:

this upcoming collection is massive with more than 200 designs and Im actually looting a few home. I was swept off when I was choosing the clothes for myself.

here's some headups of a few outfits which I wore:

I hope the pictures will turn out well together with the rest when the collection is up next week.

keeping my fingers crossed!*

xoxo, Jaime

im so happy for you (:

2011-07-29T01:24:00.000-07:00

it's been almost 2 years since we last talked/met each other and the news I heard today override any unhappiness that befalls me.

I never ever had a chance to explain neither do I have the opportunity to speak to you since we lost contact.
I don't blame you or your friends if u still harbour any hard feelings; Im the cause of everything and I had to do so back then cause of many other restrictions which I can't possibly ignored too.

the period was real tough on us.

I still bumped into you occasionally but (I think) you didn't see me and I always walked away or shun off.
till today, I don't know how to face you even though I wished we could sit down together and clear things up.
if not for any restrictions, I hope that we could still be friends (even till today.)

I'm sorry for whatever that you've gone through cause I know sorry seems too mild to even be used,
but the way how you showered your care/love/concern will always be impressionable.

upon hearing that you're happily attached now, I feel overjoyed and somewhat relieved.
im so happy for you even though this will never undo what we've gone through.
but deep down I know, you will love this person ever more tenderly and never let her slip-off.

and, ... likewise, she will love you back even better than I do.

take care.

xoxo, Jaime

\happy/

2011-07-01T13:23:00.000-07:00

The trip to genting has changed my perspectives and I'm looking at things on a whole new dimension now.

I've come to realize that a companion may mean a lot but it's really not everything. a hindrance at times.

there's so many things which I want to pursue or should I say, I need a like-minded person:

to think and feel the same way as I do;

to be able to understand;

most importantly, to be able to communicate with me.

I love to talk but there's still issues which are closed to my heart that not many know.

Communication is everything.

if this fails, there's no way I can imagine myself hanging long.
"in-love" is a chemical response.

if I choose to stay on cause I'm too used to it rather than feel "in-love", it's going to be tormenting.

today's the 1st of July and I'm left with about a month of holidays.

I'm leaving it to family, friends and work.

till then!(:

falling back ...

2011-06-23T15:35:00.000-07:00

it's good to come back to this space whenever I feel like saying something that comes off my mind.
yes. it's that random.
and when I do so, I'll always change my layout cause I'm bored by the previous.

holidays are here again, for a good full 3 months.
this time round, time flies way too fast and we're already coming to the end of July. *sad face*
so far I'm enjoying it, running around getting myself busy with events.
the day after the last day of each event will be spent resting at home cause my whole body will totally shagged out and I mean it.

the less enjoyable part of holidays so far is getting sick twice.
even before i could recover from the first, I fell sick again.

now, I'm good.
I have to be else I wont be enjoying my trip to Genting with the family this weekend. *bouncy* (':

first week of June was spent on a short getaway trip to M'sia with my good companion.
things were cheap. shopped and ate non-stop.
definitely a good break from the bustling city to somewhere rural.

it's coming to the last week of June and cheng is back.
darn happy cause I get to see her in school again next semester. (:
but my cute sized friend will be leaving for korea. :(

im left with one year and I'm looking forward to graduation, somehow.
I don't really know how things will be like when school reopens in august.
it's not going to be the same; just keeping my fingers crossed that school ain't going to be boring.

hitting 21 soon and I'm not event sure if I want to celebrate my 21st and organize a party.
even if I do so, im just going to gather the closed ones.
afterall, birthdays are meant to be celebrated with those whom you want to celebrate with, yes?

I hope July is going to be fruitful before school starts.
so many things to look forward to.
meetups & meetups, I'm always too busy with work to find time for friends/family. *guilty*
movie and dinner with my plus one and family.

with all that in mind, I need to spare some time to sort out my modules before school starts. *sulks*
and keeping in mind that new stationaries will probably make me look forward and excited for school. yay!

alcohol makes people do stupid things!

2011-01-07T11:30:00.000-08:00

the first post of 2011 which is also my 300th (:

the past 2 days were a "KO" for me cause I had booze at a BBQ and got myself so high till I was screaming and shouting when everyone was playing taboo! but come'on, I was good at it okay!
just yesterday, I drank in the noon cause I was playing guessing game and damn! I suck! all I knew was I did stupid things. haha.

I'm pretty alright when I'm high, just don't make me laugh cause I'll keep on laughing non-stop over nothing. LOL!

random:
I'm so in love with kenny G's pieces now! he's such a great saxophonist! I've already planned to use some of his works as my wedding songs! ~ la la la...

school's starting in less than a week's time and I'm kind of looking forward to it cause this holidays is boring me.
yet at the same time, I'm not so looking forward to it cause i'm taking 2 cores alone = die!
*i think it's time I need to make friends with zhong-guo-ren* hahaha!
I hope this year will be good, especially in terms of $$$, cause I'll be expecting a lot of 21st bday parties to attend to and I need moneyyy. :(
needless to say, I'm intending to celebrate my own 21st as well and I've already thought of the location. haha!
and the next upcoming long holidays: I'll be travelling with friends and loved ones!
so exciting!!!

I'm already anticipating the next holidays! whoopys! (:

goodbye 2010!

2010-12-31T00:00:00.000-08:00

I couldn't get to sleep so I decided to 'pen' down my thoughts of 2010.
how've this year been for you?

on the whole, 2010 hasn't been smooth-sailing for me.

career-wise, I would say I've been lucky and I thank the people whom I've met along the way. you people showed me how glam & nice this industry can be, yet ugly at times.

studies?
it has always been the same and now, I'm left with one and half years before I graduate.
sometimes, I just wonder where will my future career bring me and what are my prospects.. but I'm definitely looking forward to the next phase.

family?
they've been supportive and what more can I ask.
thank you dearest mommy, daddy and brother (:

relationship?
I can say things are much better, but to the bare minimum of you whom know what I've gone through, things aren't easy as it seems. As a girl/partner, I'm envious of what you all are having now so please be thankful, really. I won't complain neither will I regret, cause I chose this myself. Sometimes when I reflect, I wonder how did I even pull through despite the displeasure and disappoinment which I've felt skin-deep. I really can't help but to wish for things to be even more normal and less complicated.
In a relationship, many things take two hands to clap. We've put in our time and effort into this, yet we still made mistakes at times. my ridiculous temper, wanting things in my way attitude and me being an uptight sensitive creature are unbearable yet they've been silently accepted; what more can I say?
Given all that had happened and how far we've come along, no doubt things are progressing but the "pace for progression" is still there for us to keep up.
I've a lot to do but sometimes I'm just lost as what more can I do. I'll get it figure out soon, like I always do.
Still, thank you for all that you've given me; you're still that gem.

Happy holidays to a more fulfilling 2011!

all about love! (:

2010-12-20T14:01:00.000-08:00

I made sushi the other time for love and brought it to school for him (:
I spent about half a day in town looking for ingredients, rice mould, japanese rice, rice mix, mini bento boxes just to make his lunch a pleasant one. heehee!
so the very next day, I spent about the whole of morning preparing everything with a little help from mommy.

so here's the outcome? what do you think?

I add in a lot of others non-jap food as well, like cocktail sausages, scallop, fish luncheon and tomatoes, and if you realised, everything is cooked (boiled). ha ha!
I'm scared of oil cause I'm worried it'll spill onto me and leave a scar, so needless to say, I don't fry as well, left with boil and steam. healthier too! (:

and after that time which I attempted to make sushi, I didn't make it anymore. ha ha ha!

Still, I spread my love into making other foodie as well.
Just few days back, I made "chocolate breadroll" and wrapped it up with cute pink wrappers which I bought from daiso!
it's easy to make :
-use any slice bread (wholemeal, multigrain or white) then flatten the bread with a chopstick.
-spread nutella over the bread then roll it up like a towel.
-lastly, wrap your breadroll with any cute wrapper and close the ends with either ribbons or scotchtape.
There you go, lovely breadrolls! too bad I didnt take a picture of it.

*alternatively, you can choose other kinds of spreads: peanut, Jam, ... just bear in mind, it may get a little messy when trying to roll your bread.

Anyway, I was in town yesterday to collect the birthday card which I ordered from cards4all.

It's so pretty and I love it a lot, thanks to Mikki (one of the owners from cards4all).

love the idea of it when I saw it on tv and immediately, I contacted the owner to order a pair of the cards !

it's selling at 1 for $5.80 and 2 for $10. check them out here: www.facebook.com/#!/cards4all

//.edit.// I deleted the photo of the card away cause' love&I think it's a personal thing and I guess I should respect his decision on this.

some thoughts off my mind.

2010-12-20T10:22:00.000-08:00

I did something really wrong yesterday.
In a fit of an anger towards someone else, I took it out on love (unknowingly).
I just blurted it out, too harshly and angrily.
didn't take notice of it till he talked to me;
even though I apologised, it's sort of like "what done cannot be undone" and it was all due to my ignorance.

the feeling of regret is sinking in now.
I'm chucking my phone aside cause I just don't want to disturb him.
he has his own stuffs to handle now and I just got to be a tad' understanding.
I've to admit that I'm so used to his presence and companion now.
wonder how things will be like after he graduates, I just got to be more independent.
I'm a little too reliant (at times).

sometimes, it makes me feel like a koala bear!
hmph!

ChlloWee's and bits&pieces of me (:

2010-12-18T13:51:00.000-08:00

ChlloWee has just launched last week and here's their new collection (:

Do check out their new pieces and the new promotion for this special season:

life's been pretty mundane and I'm low on job and cash this season. (whyyy? D:)

oh! and if you looked two posts back, i actually made a list of stuffs that I want to do this holidays but I've done like one or two? ha ha! (oh! I've not take up driving for your info. yeah! I suck, I'm waiting for a chauffeur boyfriend. LOL!)

I was supposedly booked for a job this and next weekend but this *toot* agent put out at the last minute! damn it! I could have earned $xxx but it's all screwed up now!

Anyway, some updates over what I've done for the past one week:

"Oh My G____" event along Orchard road:

I was paired up with Kingley and he's so fun to work with. Anyway, you can check out the behind-the-scenes photos and the girls whom we shortlisted on facebook. Search "AvenueM"!

that's Weini and me!

Some think we look alike, what say you? (:

So just last thursday, I was dressed up as a Santarina for Canon's "Jingle Rock" Event.

oh my! I think it's the santarina dress or something, my whole body was itching when I got home and I spent a good amount of time in the toilet scratching myself! gosh =/

I was shagged out by the time I got home, a sign that I'm getting old ( ... when I'm not even 21!). A 4-hr event made me so-so tired! zzzz...!

Santarina Babes!

7 more days to Christmas and how's your preparation coming along? (:

I've not shopped for any presents and sadly, no christmas party this year. D:

but here and there, I still have little gifts exchange with loved ones and I'm looking forward to 25th to spend with love! <3

nope, not going to squeeze with crowd. nope, not going to dine at restaurants. nope nope nope!

we're planning to stay home and whip a two-person meal, just for us two! (: lovely and sweet, ain't it? on that very day, we're going to do grocery shopping and see what edible foodie we can come up with.

but that's only the tentative plan, we might end up all lazy and just wanna snuggle at home ... and ta-bao from coffee shop! hahaha! but I doubt so la and hope not, cause 25th is soooo... special! (:

alrighty, I guess you all had enough of this dreary post!

Happy X'mas in Advance ! (:

2010-12-02T05:00:00.000-08:00

i'm feeling upset now. no, moody. no, cranky. i don't know.

a mixture of everything.

it's alright, I'm putting things on the right track.

even if it goes wrong someday somehow, at least I know I tried my best.

i dont feel like replying to messages, feel so much happier watching VS fashion show 2010.

it's super inspiring and healthy to watch cause it makes me feel ashamed of myself (somehow).

k,bye.

holiday plans 2010

2010-12-01T11:29:00.000-08:00

ooo ... baby, I smell freedom!

exams are over, im breathing in my holidays now(:

as usual, I've a lot of plans in mind on how to spend my holidays but I doubt half will be done. (HAHA!)

so, here it goes,

#1. I intend to take up PDL and continue driving (AHEM* coughs*) cause I just promised my uncle in front of all my relatives that I'll pass my driving test (manual) at my 1st attempt. (laughs*)

#2.I also intend to tone up my body, swim gym swim gym swim gym: I want Alessandra Ambrosio hot bod and shed off some weight! (: but before this can fall into place, I need determination and motivation!

#3.I need more money and yes, more assignments! cause love bday is coming soon and I'm planning to spend a whopping sum to make it a good one. the megatrix job came just right in time and I hope it falls through *please please please!*

#4. meetups, shopping and pamper myself, etc. which brings me back to the point of "I need money!" hahahaha.

#5. may/may not be travelling cause i've stuffs to do here and the thought of always having stomachache/indigestion (when I travelled) makes me quivered.

mm.. that's for now! meanwhile, I just laze at home and sleep away my day. it's awesome to do that lately, cause it has been raining everyday and sleeping in, in the noons is oh-so-good! (:

anyway here's some of the events which I've done during school term:

Nike City 10K Run Singapore Ambassador – Marina Floating Platform

The Nike Job is probably the best Job I've done so far, thanks to HuiLing! (:

we were treated as artiste and had access to VIP lounge.

the best thing of all, my whole nike outfit was FREE! omg!

my nike sport shoes is one of the latest models in stores and it's in hot pink, love it!

BMW performance motors Road show

Time past swiftly if not for the awesome girls I've worked with: WeiNi and Katherine!

Nikon D7000 Launch – F1 Pit Building, premier suite

Seventeen Photoshoot (which I did sometime back)

hurhur! finally!

2010-10-23T00:48:00.000-07:00

I always told myself to update whenever I can and that moment/day/time will just never come.

there goes recess weeks, midterms, 2202 midterm (which I just completed!) for now.

one more sociology midterm this coming wednesday, follow by few more weeks of school to study week, then exams then holidays!

Eventful July 2010

2010-07-21T01:22:00.000-07:00

Hi all, I know I've gone "Missing-In-Action" for the past one month plus and hence, the lack of updates. Pardon me, I was busy managing/attending events one after another. Everyday was jam-packed with work; so much so that I got detached from everything. I've no time for family and friends, no time for shopping, let alone some leisure time for myself to chill and relax. Nevertheless, I enjoyed myself a lot through this events. (:

To you, you may see it as work. But to me, everyday was just fun; I get to meet new people and work with favourite people. Many friendships "blossom and bloom" and I'm so glad that all of us still made a point to meet up despite getting back to our "own life". I'm so thankful to be part of the many events and the ones who made it possible. Thank you and I look forward to more in the coming future.

Now that "life's back"! I seriously need to pick up what I've lost (e.g. school stuffs and modulesssss) and know what I'm doing before school starts. hahaha! I don't even know when bidding starts and whatever misc left hanging around. Below are some photos of the events which I've done (: more on facebook.

Anyhow, I just missed this opportunity to go to Paris. Okay, not exactly missed but I let go of it 'cause of school and exams (I suppose so?). It's definitely a one in a lifetime opportunity to go to Paris for a competition and runway show, what's more everything is paid for. All I've to do is to say yes and I'll be flying off in months time. It's alright, next time then (:

World Cities Summit event has ended just last week, World Cup event is coming to an end too...

Next Up will be Philips event ... very very fulfilling, (my bank account too! haha)

happy weekends ahead!

updates

2010-06-23T09:35:00.000-07:00

I've been so so so ... busy with work, trainings, tuition, fittings and work, trainings, ...
I've got no time for myself, family and friends. mom and dad have been complaining that I haven't been spending time with them ): damn guilty so I bought the couple a pair of tickets to watch "The Karate Kid" tomorrow.

it's 9.32am now and I've to get going, cause I've got tuition later and work @ resortworldsentosa. come and find me if you're dropping by thereeeeee.. (:
(& yes, I'm still coaching my annoying kid though I really dislike her... lesson learnt: never take up someone you know as your tutee, dropping her now becomes a problem cause I've to consider whether it will strain the family ties or what's not. dumb -.- )

BYE! (:

I just did a studio shoot with Aylwin on Tuesday together with Kyla.

This is my second time working with Aylwin and I had so much fun. He wanted a clean look so hence, the natural makeup and "flying" hair. I was shivering and trembling like mad when the fan was blasted at the highest speed. Enough said, here's some of the photos which I've just received. (:

Mussels or Muscles?

2010-06-07T21:49:00.000-07:00

Mommy and Daddy have been complaining that I've been getting too skinny. -.-
I mean C'mon, I've been exercising and eating healthily hence the loss of (visible) fats.
friends who have seen me this holidays or maybe over the past few days won't have felt that way.
I'm gaining muscles now actually, and getting more toned.

(what exercise do I do?)
I've NOT been running, swimming, cycling, skipping, ... (you must be wondering why am I gaining muscles then)

I do a lot of walking, like shopping in town (: I rather walk from plaza.sg all the way to ion orchard rather than pay a few more cents to take the train. Since you're already out shopping, I guess you will want your day to be relax and going on a comfortable pace, so why squeeze with the crowd in the train? To shop/walk in heels makes it a lot harder and I choose to believe that I shed more calories this way. haha! lol! (well of course, choose a comfy pair of heels and not one which will kill you even before you shop for your loots.)

Other than walking, I do a lot of target exercises too, mostly in the noon (before I go out) and at night (before I sleep).
Basically, I only do 2 different kinds of exercises. One of which I called it the "formidable" exercise - Russian Twist, it's supposed to give your body the foundation to train abs so you will be able to see the lining at the sides. I don't really know how to explain in words how you should carry out doing Russian Twist so pardon me. (esp to those who asked me, I can show you in person instead.) I usually do 2 sets of 60 in the noon and 3 sets of 60 at night.

The second exercise which I do is leg lifts, 2 sets of 20 daily.
I will usually let my body rest on the bed and my legs left hanging out of it. (visualise!)
With both legs straight, I will use my abdominal muscles (or abs? or stomach?) to support my both legs as I raised them up and down. It can get pretty straining at the start so you may want to start off with set of 5.

When I'm in the mood to keep my momentum going, I will usually add on push-ups, say about 100 of it?

I'm pretty hard on myself, I used to do 1200 crunches, 3 sets of 200 secs of leg lifts (hold my leg in mid-air for mintues), 310 push-ups in a day. So doing this routine everyday, it's considered pretty alright for me. I love to change my routine, esp after doing it for a period of time and I start to get bored. Try asking friends around you who are health consicous or those who hit the gym regularly and get them to share with you their tips(: I hit the gym like only once in a while when I've a companion so whenever I'm using the equipments, there's someone there to help me with it. & also, it's less intimidating. haha! I find it pretty scary when the big macho guys are around gymming, they make me feel that I can get squashed any moment.

Last but not least, DIET!
Diet, as in healthy-eating lifestyle and not go on no-carbo diet!
Low-Carbo is not No-Carbo! Alternatively, you can go for High-Protein Diet such as eggs, milk, soya bean, meat, fish, ... More veg,fruits and yogurts in meals, Less snacks!

My heaviest meal of the day is usually Breakfast. I love bread a lot, most of the time I opt for the healthier option such as wheat bread, wholemeal bread or oatmeal bread with raisins/nuts. They will you make go non-hungry for a longer period of time. Usually, I will spread Skippy's Peanut Butter or tuna spread or ham'ncheese. My meal must always come with a drink else I won't be satisfied so it will either be ice latte/mocha, choco/vanilla/strawberry/coffee milk or milo.

No lunch for me cause my breakfast will usually be enough for my stomach to sustain for a good few hours. So I will take either fresh fruits or fruit juice in the noon. Sometimes, I'll top it up with snacks. err.. healthy wheat biscuits?! I'm picky/conscious with what I eat, so I always read the nutritional label whenever I'm in supermarkets. Snacks/biscuits with equal/less than 3grams of fats (per serving) are considered healthy to me. Anything more than that, I'll think twice or look for alternatives. haha! There's really nice healthy snacks out there, you just have to hunt for it. I'm lucky cause my family eats healthily so mommy will always be the one on the lookout for healthy snacks (:

For dinner, try to eat it before 8pm? but I don't really follow. In fact, I don't really remember what I ate for dinner for the past few days. LOL! I can survive on bread (like subway sandwiches) for dinner since I love bread a lot or pastries or sushi takeaways or meals from foodcourt: korean ramen, yongtaufoo, ...

After typing so much, I'm getting tired.
Here's a little something to share, the result (of my body) due to training/dieting:

"low'n-behold"! My both arms are now toned due to Russian Twist.

By right, they are not supposed to cause Russian Twist is meant to train abs but I end up getting toned arms.

killing two birds in one stone, save my effort on lifting dumb bells! hahaha.

*p/s. KJ! if you ever read this, ask me out next week. HTHT! I need to talk to someone. ):

exhausted

2010-06-02T23:41:00.000-07:00

I'm so tired, so tired, so tired...
I need a break.

I can't exactly recall what I've done for the past few days, unless I flipped through my organisers.
Off my head, I know I've been busy with castings, fittings, shoots, event-trgs, meetups, ...
There's more to come.
I'm trying to juggle my time well (time management!) so I can have enough energy(and rest) for other stuffs.
My mind's pretty blank now, (my stomach's hurting and) I'm hitting the pillow in a few minutes' time to recharge myself for a badminton game tomorrow. C'mon, I should be laughing at myself if I can survive through the 2hour-game, seriously when did I last exercise? errr... I mean proper exercising, as in stepping out of the house to exercise, discounting the night target-exercises which I've been doing daily.

Okay, pray hard that I'm still kicking alive after the game. (LOL!)
goodnights & love!

sunday's random mumbling dumplings

2010-05-30T23:52:00.000-07:00

As the title suggests, ... whatever written below is going to be random and in no order of preference.

Whatever comes to my mind first, "Bam!", I typed.

Hell-yeah, I'm really thankful to have nice friends around me who will listen to me whenever I need a pair of listening ears. It really feels good when someone agrees with you on a certain thing or encourages/supports you.

I was talking to kj today and I'd say I'm pretty lucky to have this bunch of friends. (heh! I'm the lucky girl who blended into the clique ever since secondary school days and get couple of glares/stares from girls(sometimes) when I'm with them. heehee!) They are the ones who are "always there", like literally. Anytime when I need someone to talk to, I can send a text over and I'll get almost instant reply from just anyone. I may not wish to share what's bothering me but chatting with them takes things off my mind cause' we'll talk about no-brainer stuffs and somehow, we'll end up scolding/slamming each other in the silliest way ever...

The very one incident which I can recall (up till date) was the time when I fell down in college while dancing. I didn't dare to call my mom cause I was afraid she'll be angry at how careless I am for not watching out for myself. So I called kj and asked him to bring me to a "sinseh" cause my knee was swollen and it felt numb. I waited outside the school for him and minutes later, I saw two mercedes cabs stopped in front of me and all six of them came out from the cars. "Whoa!" I was shocked/amazed/touched/surprised cause I didn't expect to see them all but yeah... you get what I mean? Hard-to-come-by friends right???

I'm glad that all of us still keep in touch though most of the time, I'll be the busy one; especially when school term starts, I'll literally disappear for good! hahahaha...

So, ... Hugs/Love to my BUDDIES !!!(:

Do allow me to digress ...

tell me what does it mean when you keep telling yourself that you're not thinking too much? Do you really feel that way or are you just trying to comfort yourself but actually you are? mmm... I wonder ...

Before I went to bed last night, I actually wrote a super duper long note. It's been bothering me for quite some time and I can't get it off my head so I need to pen my thoughts down. I guess it was so much easier putting them to words than saying it face-to-face. At least, the message has everything which I want to tell you (and I know I can never churn the exact words out if you're standing right in front of me). I don't know how things will out honestly but it's going to be draggy, something which I'll have to agree with kj.

Digress again ...

I'm having second thoughts on whether I should turn up for BBQ tomorrow at a friend's place.

I'm starting to get tired and I guess I'm escaping as well, unless you can tell me what's the best way out.

I'm trying to numb myself to whatever's coming my way but it's so hard to accept it ): I don't want to break down, really, so I'm trying very hard to suppress it. (as i'm typing this, ... I really miss this person very very much) sigh! I'm not giving up easily, just feel very upset over certain things ):

reality/truth

2010-05-30T02:06:00.000-07:00

When reality strikes, the truth may hurt.

busy buzzy week

2010-05-29T10:05:00.000-07:00

HOLA! (: good morning!

I'm up pretty early today, says 8 plus? cause I was famished (like as usual, I'll wake up cause my stomach was growling so I had to fill it). Anyway, I'll be in town later doing some window-shopping so if any of you will be hitting the streets later, drop me a text or something. I want to have a chillax noon and avoid the crowd.
Yesterday was Vesak Day, the crowd in town was mad.
The linking pavement from Wisma to Ngee Ann City was jam-packed. I see lots of guys (husbands, boyfriends, or whatever promising guy-to-be ...) all waiting outside the stores for their ladies. what a funny sight! I would prefer if my partner comes into the store with me and gives me opinion, rather than stoning outside looking bored. It will dampen my mood for the day and made me feel bad cause I don't like to make people wait, (in general).

I've been pretty busy for the whole of this week and my schedule only gets packed along the week, rather than weeks/days before. Meaning to say, if you book me now for next week: yay! I'm free cause nothing's planned as of yet. but if you were to go: hey Jaime! how about a meetup tomorrow? most probably, I can't cause somehow or rather, I'll have something that's planned very last minute, say work related stuffs.

I went for a couple of castings this week. It's pretty intimidating cause there were a lot of girls so you really have to show what you've got to the clients during interview.
If you've the looks, all girls there have the looks too, so what makes you different from the rest and why do the clients have to choose you really depends on your performance and how you present yourself.
I won't say I'm good at it but these are the few pointers which I always keep in mind whenever I'm down for casting/auditions.

#1. If the dress code given was mini shorts/skirts with a fitting top, I've to make sure whatever that I wore doesnt turn out to be sleazy/slutty or "lian-ish". I mean if you give the clients the wrong impression, I guess they wont want to hire you as their ambassador right? So usually, I'll double and triple check myself in the mirror to make sure that I give a "clean look". Sometimes, I'll prepare my clothes the day before so I won't have to panick few hours before casting.

#2) This brings me to point no.2 : clean look.
No thick makeup, fluttery eyelashes, chimpanzee's butt red cheeks, colour contacts... definitely a no!
Just give an all-natural look: a little foundation/powder, eyeliner with a little mascara, blusher (a slightly pinkish one fair girls or one that suits your skin tone), lipgloss and you're good to go! (:
Dress to impress can be a turn off at times cause you'll end up looking trashy!

#3) Confidence. (ties in with the way you speak)
This is very very important!!! It really shows from the way you present yourself. Of course, one will get nervous when you see three to seven clients sitting in a conference room waiting for you to speak but try not to stammer/pause for too long. Be very clear of what you're trying to say so people at the other end get you. Pronounce your words very clearly (!!!) and if you can, add in a little sense of humour to break the ice in such an intense environment (: In addition, if your interview is done in groups, try to be loud (not deafening loud, duh!) so you stand out.

Anyway, I did a shoot with Vee few days back and the pictures below are only drafts.
It was a tough shoot, I spent like 6 hours at the studio? and the first 3-4 hours were crap cause I cant get the expression which Vee is looking for so all the photos turned out to be crappy too. without the expression/look, whatever that was captured just don't tie in with whatever pose you've or clothes you're wearing. I got pretty frustrated with myself at the start cause I really didnt know that fashion shoot is so tough.

Vee showed me his "photography bibles" with all the high-end branded advertisements/posters to give me inspirations. I really love what I saw and am super amazed (till now) that caucasians can pull of the look so easily. No wonder photographers love caucasians/panasians so much cause they're so easy to shoot.

I got this few shots only at the last hour in the studio. If you look closely, I don't think the photos look like me! hahahaha. don't you agree? I love my look in the photo (on the right), so sensual. haha! All I could remember was Vee telling me to imagine that I'm seducing someone. yeah, so ... are you seduced?

BMW event

2010-05-29T09:12:00.000-07:00

Here's some of the photos which were taken during the "re-Launch of BMW ECC".
It was a pleasant experience cause' the people there were great, though what we had to do were simply boring and no-brainer. I mean usually events are pretty no-brainer. just have to look good & smile!
eh... like a flower vase? but not literally one, just have to presentable and approachable(:
As easy as it sounds, simply smiling and walking around can be really tiring. (whether you're in/out of heels)

so anyway, I got to know these two babes (Adeline & HuiLing), they're fun and awesome people to work with.
We'll share food, gossips, laugh at silly kids and salivate over the smell of sweet-smelling popcorns, do hand-painting...
I love working with fun and nice people! they made you look forward to "work" cause at the end of the day, work seems to be less of a chore and by the end of the event, good friendship fostered(:

Agree with me on this...

2010-05-25T15:23:00.000-07:00

If you can't solve it, it isn't a problem - It's reality.

And sometimes reality is the hardest thing to understand

and

the thing that takes the longest to realize.

But once it hits your face, you'll never forget it.

It will always be there in your memories and sometimes that

is the best way to look at it.

Ripped it off from "Sherena Ng" on Facebook.

(http://http//www.facebook.com/shereBANANNA)

I cant help but to agree with this, so true, ain't it? (:

blue monday? not for me

2010-05-24T13:39:00.000-07:00

I'm sitting on my bed now, with my lying against my pillow, legs under my cosy blanket enjoying my afternoon in an air-conditioned room. I'm prepared for a long nap later(:

Morning was okay cause' I did nothing other than chatting with "happy people" over facebook/msn/text-messages.
These people are happy pills sent by angels cause they washed away whatever' that's bothering me for the moment.
I'm still feeling sore now, I can't believe I actually got so emotional over it. It's so not me!
Anyhow, this vicious cycle will always repeat for whatever issue that is. (where I'll feel sore/upset, then I'll start to look at it from other viewpoint, convincing myself to understand before it's okay again.) Probably that's why I seem to be so generous and understanding.

I've a few plans coming up, was discussing it with a few photographers just now.
so far, I've got three photoshoots coming up.
I love doing shoots but yes, it's tiring.
The one I had with BennyT yesterday really pushed me to my limits. To be able to maintain and hold the same pose for a couple of shots in killer heels is not easy at all. I could feel that my whole body was trembling or at least, my abs was working out. (& now, my waist is aching)
It was madness. Benny wanted to create a "wet" look (following CK-theme) so my whole body was covered with oil and sprinkled with water. Not kidding, even my face was "oil-ed" too. My hair was suppose to be wet but cause my body was oil-ed, my hair got it too so I looked like I just got out of shower when I was done with the shoot.
The whole shoot was pretty bold and daring, tried many things which I've not done before with other photogs. The most amazing thing was my first shot actually hit it! the expression, look, angle, pose, lighting, ... subsequently, I was unable to replicate out the same one again but there's a couple of nice ones. I'm actually looking forward to seeing the photos cause Benny is known for doing highfashion-editorials so the pictures will probably turn out to be the sort which you get to see in magazine.

The shoot went well, it was a good experience but the aftermath sucks.
I actually left my phone at the studio ): only realised it when I was at the mrt station. So i took a cab back to the studio and on my way back, I was lost! I couldnt remember the exact location, the building name and the outlook of the building. All I could remember was the building was orange in colour and it was in Tannery Road. (but I didnt know that there's Tannery Rd and Tannery Lane)
So I made the cabdriver drive in rounds, felt so bad about it. ): He was nice enough to lend me his phone and I dialled my own number. Thankfully, someone picked up! and it's Benny. He said I left it at the studio and the studio assistant passed it to him. PHEW! So I scheduled to meet him later in the evening in town to get it back.

was supposed to meet Janelle & Hazel in town so without a phone, I felt super duper paralyzed. I cant call anyone or anything, to make it worse, I didnt memorise any of my friends number ):
I decided to try my luck to see if WeiXiong was working in Timberland and thank god!
He was there, he just got back from his break. Had I been any earlier, I would have missed him!
Saviour for the the day, seriously!
To keep long story short, I got back my phone eventually and I exercised quite a bit yesterday. walked from Plaza Sg - Ion - Borders - Orchard MRT - Far East - Plaza Sg - Ion - Home Sweet Home. Other than cabbing home, I pretty much travelled by foot around town yesterday.

so now, I'm going to write you people (yes, my dear friends' numbers) into my organiser. haha!
you never know what will happen.

alright, have a great week ahead!
and date me out friends! (: I love to chillax, especially at places with good ambience. (airport, sg river, cafes, cbd areas @ raffles,etc.)
I want to take my mind off things and think through again, I'm taking things too easily.
& anyone close to me who knows what's going on tells me this: Jaime, you deserve better! (and yes, I choose to believe so! (: )

swayed

2010-05-24T00:44:00.000-07:00

hello friends who are still reading this space,
I said friends because I know you are going to bear with me for this post.
I'm feeling so emotional now, feel so much like crashing.
I've been swayed by mixed feelings and random thoughts are constantly running through my mind.
Sorry to those who think I'm strong, I thought I am too till just now, I realised I'm not.
I guess I'm really confused. confused by you. what has been said doesn't tally with what I see and what that was shown.
What I saw just now is still clearly in my head, it may mean nothing even though it was a simple gesture but simple things like these may mean more than a thousand words if you piece them together.
I'm not blaming anyone, even if I had to, I guess it's myself? I don't know how to handle it so instead of taking a step back, I took a step further "subconsciously" and perhaps that's why I feel like shit now.
I always thought I can handle this well should anything happen cause I left some space for me to fall back on.
As I was thinking and stoning, I felt droplets rolling down. I'm so weak. I never cried over such things before. Never, and I just did.
Even till now, I still don't wish to say anything cause I just feel that I've to be really understanding, so much so that I don't know where's my limit. It does hurts but probably I'll understand it when I get numb to it. (This viscious cycle will just keep going on and on ... )
Still deep down, I hope you can put yourself in my place and think. You asked me if I know how you feel, I can tell you I've always been trying to understand and see things in your perspective. It's not easy. Afterall I'm still a girl.

friends, I'm feeling so sore and hurt now ): I really am.
It's getting nowhere; I'll end here.

Elysium II - The Revival

2010-05-21T12:24:00.000-07:00

I attended Eysium II - The Revival at Republic Poly Cultural Centre last Saturday after work.
It was mad rush from the (far) east all the way to the west.
(Boo) to cab again! ):
I rememebered dunking 50 odd bucks that very day on cab.
(I cabb-ed to work @ Kampong Arang, then from there to Woodlands, & from Woodlands back home.. -.-)
so now you know where my money went.
I'm crossing my fingers now that I'll get the World summit project (like seriously), the moolah is awesome(:

okay, think I'm disgressing.
back to ... errr... dance concert!
after Elysium I which was a success, everyone's looking forward to Elysium II but I would say it's pretty disappointing.
the whole concert was so techniques-heavy and contemporary based.
Fusion dance was crap (even the alumni also said so =/ ), hiphop doesnt look like hiphop, crumping wasnt well done, bla ...
conclusion: Elysium I is so much better! HAHAHA!
I mean at least, our hiphop did look like hiphop, latin looked like latin, locking looked like locking, ballet liked ballet, contemp liked contemp, chinese dance liked chinese dance... wooow! as I named these few, you can read for yourself, we had a variety of genres, agree?
All I could remember from last saurday, was contemp, ballet and ... maybe a bit of hiphop and ... alright, that's all! LOL! (excluding guest performances and alumni)
the alumni's items were good! thumbs up! (HAHAHA! i'm biased but it was really good, I sat up straight throughout the whole item)

enough said!
here's the pictures I took with the fellow dancers after they came out from the backstage(:

end off the post with my Face(:

(I think I looked like a transvetite here. LOL!)

reflection

2010-05-20T01:34:00.000-07:00

I don't know how to describe the way I'm feeling right now but it sure doesn't feel good.
(random thoughts running through my mind now.)

how do you feel when someone brings you down when you share your thoughts with him/her?
or maybe not bringing you down but he/she just makes it sound like what you've just shared doesn't make sense or pointless or ...
(whatever. in short, words from the other person's mouth don't make you feel good.)

Everyone handles it differently.
some may choose to keep quiet, some may choose to voice it out.
I'm more towards the latter cause I can't bottle things up for too long; I'll get real mad.

If it's me,
#1) I'll slam the person by defending myself.
#2) sound uninterested in the second half of the conversation and can't wait to end it. (cause whatever that's coming from you just irks me)
#3) end the conversation by pressing the red button (if it's a phone call) without informing the person.

I can be really nice if you're nice to me(:
but don't expect me to be nice and smiley when your attitude/tone sucks.
I'll take it to heart. I'm serious.
even if you try to strike up a conversation after that and tell me how nice your day is or whatever good stuffs you wanna share, sorry, I'm not interested. you may find me annoying cause I'm a bad listener but I'm merely treating you the way how you treated me previously?
ain't it fair, yes?
if you don't want that to happen, think twice before you shoot your words.
I don't care whoever it is, even if it's my parents, I still won't hesitate to slam the phone if either of them sounds rude.
I mean ... I've done that before and they know it themselves that whenever I do it, I'm pissed and they're at fault.

I'm happy with what I've now but I yearn for more.
I'm someone who dreams big and expect a lot from myself.
Ten years down the road, I see myself climbing up the ladder doing a lot more things.
I've a lot of desires right now in life and I will work hard to achieve all that I want. I blame no one for not having what I desired (right now) cause I believe "if you want it, work hard and go out for it." you never know what you'll learn and pick up along the way.

People who think highly of themselves should really think twice if they can sustain for that long.
I know this may sound mean but I don't believe one will stay at his/her peak for long, the more you think you will, the more I choose to believe you'll fall one day. Instead of thinking how long you'll be up there, why not just enjoy the process and be thankful for whatever that's coming along your way now.
A friend of mine told me this, "some people think that they've achieved a lot in life but in fact, they've achieved nothing and shouldn't get too happy (or cocky) aboutit. you're probably considered something if you gain recognition for it or you're being recognised ..." I totally agreed with what he said but sheesh! (sad to say this, ...) Some just don't comprehend.

Have you come across anyone who have been very generous and after sometime, the person is still at the back of your mind?
I do and in fact, I met a lot of people who have been really generous. (yes, I'm thankful! (: )
cause of that, these people have become my 'benchmark' as I used them to compare with others.
yepp, this means that I've also met people who are not generous at all.
(they can be really nice to you when they need your help, but when you're of no use to them, you're pushed aside. douchebags! )

I'm not referring to anyone in particular, but if you think that you're being slammed at after reading this post, this just means you ought to reflect. no matter how good you look on the outside or how nice you appear to be, what truely matters is what lies within you.

p/ps: i'm doin visitation tomorrow, not because i'm too free but cause I care for my dear friend.
hope ww's dad is doing fine(: & hurrays! i'm seeing my clique tomorrow. these guys are loved to the max! (:

Ejun's Photography

2010-05-19T10:00:00.000-07:00

These photos are taken on Monday by Ejun Low (as mentioned in previous post)

it's different from normal studio shots, he does portrait photography.

I really like the photos a lot, just look at my eyes ^^ (no photoshop done!)

who say monday is blue?

2010-05-17T23:17:00.000-07:00

hola!

i'm here to make a shoutout that I lost my sexylingerie! hahaha.

i'm serious!

it's brand new and I really like it cause it has blings and crystals on it.

sheesh! I flipped my closet but to no avail.

oh boy):

hmmm.. anyway, I feel like withdrawing from msi =/

regretted sending in the form, no idea what was I thinking.

cause I think pageants are stupid, so what if you got the title, I think it doesn't

add as much credentials as winning a contest held by high-end magazine/papers.

and there's so many pageants in singapore.

I mean I get bored watching pageants on tv, be it miss world, miss universe, bla bla ...

so I guess people will get bored seeing me as I parade down and do the "beauty-queen" walk.

LOL!

I'm more determined to pull out especially so, after I what I heard in the ladies.

seriously, girls should check whose in the toilet before talking.

apparently, every girl whom J wanted to join MSI received the same compliments and what's not.

so-not-creative. =/

on a happier note, ...

I had a wonderful session with Ejun today at his studio.

It was my first time meeting him and in order to warm me up and break the ice,

we shared our experience and got to know each other background a little more.

& oooh! he's a "practitioner" of magic, so he did a few magic tricks and illusionary sorta stuffs with coins/cards.

amazing and impressive!

it sure does break the ice as I gasped in amazement when the actual card "disappeared" from

my hand and ended up in his palm.

the test shoot started in the 2nd hour and boy' I must say

he's one of a kind photographer that I've met so far.

I love the way he works.

In order to make shooting easier and enjoyable,

he will make his model understands his working style and lingo for better communication.

Different photographers work differently so I'm glad that he told me his expectation and 'style'.

In a way, I will know what to expect and 'adjust' myself accordingly to suit him.

be it postures, poses, tilts/turn, all-natural & relax look, eye-contact, mood, etc.

Before the first few shots were taken, he analysed my face and features

by asking me to turn my head as well as tilt it so as to find my 'best angle'.

'best angle' is the angle which one can deliver his/her best shot.

Here's his analysis of me:

- I've got a big pupil which is a gift sent to me.

( I remembered Ejun kept asking if I was wearing any contacts which will enlarge my pupil

cause' he couldnt believe that one can have such big pupil.)

- My eyes are my best asset (cause' of my pupil ^^)

- cheekbones is pretty distinctive when I smile

- symmetrical face

...

- however, my eyes can be my "con" too because at certain angle, the photog might not be able

to capture the white part of my eyes cause of my somewhat-large pupil.

I would say, Ejun is a portrait/portraiture photographer.

not the usual portfolio shoots which I'm really trying to avoid cause the shots/poses are so cliche

and my definition of "building up portfolio" would be to have a variation of photos of yourself

in different themes and photography shots. (Fashion/emotive/portrait/underwater/exotic/sensual/...)

you get what I mean?

rather than standing there, smile and doing cliche "club-snap shots".

nope, I may not be as professional or as experienced as many out there but

I do have my own views and opinions of what I want and expect from photographers whom I'm working with.

all in all, he said my shots were good and he's impressed.

he's surprised that everytime I changed my angle, the image captured portrayed a different look.

for instance, my red lips gives me an oriental look.

my smile makes me young and youthful.

when I don't smile and maintain eye contact with the camera, it seems like I'm smiling.

when I tilt my head up and side glance with somewhat pouty lips,

it's another new look again.

amazing, ain't it? i didnt know it either.

usually, after the end of the test shoot, he will know the weakness/strengths of the model but

he cant figure it out for mine.

he felt that the shots were all good, he cant pinpoint the weak areas.

however, he needs to find my niche area too.

Ejun said I'm pretty challenging. haha!

I guess I'm really flattered cause no one has told me this much about my features before

and it's definitely an eye-opener to know this much about myself.

Hopefully, I'll be able to get the sample shots.

would definitely love to take a look at it(:

after today's session, I see a higher chance of collaborating with Ejun again for future shoots.

I would recommend any models especially newer models/talents to have a session with

him should he holds a casting call for test shoot.

you will never want to miss this opportunity to learn from him(:

dark clouds over the sky

2010-05-16T22:09:00.000-07:00

the weather reflects my mood right now.

(moody/gloomy)

on a bright note, I had an awesome shoot with Aylwin today at east coast park for some editorial

magazine which will only be released in September.

i'll get the rough copies of the photos but the edited ones will only be given after the publication of the magazine.

it's been quite a while since I've done a proper shoot so it took me quite some time to get into the role and feel relax.

apparently, I was too tensed up and gets a little pose-y.

it just doesnt feel natural and doesn't suit the environment which I was in - park/greenery/trees/woodstalk.

but ...

the shots got so much better after I warmed up. My 2nd and 3rd outfit was a breeze (:

within the first five shots, I got the feel which Aylwin wanted to capture. (theme: coachella festival)

it was good and I felt good too!

Aylwin was kind enough to give me extra shots to build up my portfolio.

some photos are pretty cheesy, i must say.

cause' he wanted me to do something different and not the usual fashion studio shots.

geez.

(wait till I get the photos.)

I didn't do the shoot alone today, I had a partner model with me.

She's nice and easy to talk to (chinese accent. need me to further elaborate where she's from, no?)

anyway anyhow, when all's done.. I took a cab to the other side of the sunny island to meet love.

so ... I shared a cab with the tk-woman and dropped her off first since her destination was nearer.

by common sense (or even if you don't have one),

you should at least know that the cab fare would be spilt among whoever that were in the cab as well right?!

unless I said I will give you a ride, you can then hitch it for free but we agreed on "Sharing"!!!

fuck! had I known that you dont intend to "share", I won't want to make the big detour.

yes, I'm pissed.

I've been cabbing very often lately, cause I've been travelling

from one side of the island till another as I don't have much time to travel.

so yes, I'm trying to save up now.

I hardly spent money on food, say less than 10bucks a week?

hardly shop nowadays too so the only thing which is killing me subtly is cabfares!

fuck the tkp, seriously!

waste my time/ waste my money/ spoil my plan.

fuck you, again!

like any other sundays. I get to spend some time with my loved one and as usual, we shared.

certain things we discussed set me thinking and in a way or another, it does affect me - be it in a good/bad way.

"the ugly side of human nature when he/she wants to achieve something."

for pleasure? for self-satisfaction? or just to show it off?

I just don't understand.

you don't "flaunt" your wealth this way...

if you've too much money, go and set up a foundation and finance it.

(or) donate to charity organisation

(or) children's homes/ elderly's homes

(or) special kids school.

if you think the above ain't enough, got and withdraw all the cash, put them at home,

in the toilet. when you're too bored, use them to wipe your ass.

you are putting them to good use, aren't you?

cause you can see it, touch it & use it!

what's more you dont have to worry about handling the change cause it'll be flushed away.

LOL!

i agree that money makes the world go round (to a large extent) but it does not buy everything.

if it does, we do not even need to have feelings, do we?

fuck, I'm really in a bad mood (as of 10.06pm).

bye!

TGIF

2010-05-14T23:00:00.000-07:00

the hug just now was one of the best I ever had

to end the weekdays and welcome the weekends!

love the weekends cause it's going to be filled with L.O.V.E

HEEHEEHEE:D

seventeen magazine

2010-05-13T02:34:00.000-07:00

Seventeen's June Issue

done the shoot with Brandon and worked with Alecia (Photog) & Judith Tham (Makeup Artist)

awesome and fun people to work with despite the crazy amount of mozzy bites all of us got from the wild.

brand and I even had our private joke at the end of the day.

(he's now called eyebrows. LOL!)

thank you brand & seventeen mag! (:

at the hospital

2010-05-12T18:32:00.000-07:00

i'm at the hospital now, super bored.

zzzzz....

alexandra hospital is so inaccesible.

gothere.sg is not reliable, and this is the 2nd time I followed its directions and I still got lost.

when i reached the busstop... I realised the location is still goddamn far from where i am.

so I took a cab.

waste money. I could have saved a lot of moolah if not for cabs, why am I so lazy? geez.

anyway anyhow, brother's cheng doing good!

whoohoo, he's beside me now having fish porridge for dinner.

the food smells good, i'm hungry.

and just cause I'm bored over here, I play with webcam so you'll see a lot of Jaimes in a while (:

2010-05-10T10:58:00.000-07:00

I've just got too bored doing nothing, and so... I created a formspring account.

You can ask me anything and I'll try to answer your questions(:

be nice and I'll be nice too.

www.formspring.me/jaimecheng

i like it, like that (:

2010-05-09T23:39:00.000-07:00

I'm as good as this; back-to-back.

saturday night

2010-05-08T23:59:00.000-07:00

today's the fourth time I hit town, this week.

found more new restaurants and chill out places in town. cool(:

never a fan of far east plaza.

I'm only there when I want to look for cheap & good stuffs,

say, pumps and student's price manicure/pedicure.

other than that, nothing actually catches my eye.

even if there is, I'll think twice before I purchase from the stores.

I don't know why but I've this mindset that heels purchased there won't be stable and they'll break easily,

tops will keep on stretching and lose it elasticity/shape after washing a couple of times.

geez.

this pair of black platform heels (yes, it's going to be my no.6th black heels if I bought it )

caught my eye the other day and it costs only 50bucks.

but I refused to buy it cause I doubt its quality.

I would rather get a $175 black platform from Aldo which guarantees quality so I won't have to worry

about the heels breaking off while walking =/

but seriously, I should stop getting heels.

3/4 of the shoe cabinet is filled with my stiletos/sandals/ pumps.

*guilty grins*

I'm eyeing on something new now,

AX maxi-dress.

500-bucks! *faints*

Today's a pretty meaningful day, I must say.

a lot of unexpected things happened.

for good or for bad, I felt that I learnt something.

I was pretty affected, yet worried, when phone calls came in and you started to get emotional in the midst of the conversation.

other than being a listener and trying to understand what's going on,

guess I didn't know what to do cause it's the first time I see you so worked out.

even though so, it amazed me that you can "be-yourself" again after letting it out and cooling down.

initially, I thought this person was posing a front so that people around you won't be worried

hence I kept questioning if you were okay.

then, I come to realise that it's just you.

you are strong (in many ways) and you can pick yourself up easily even though it's not easy.

not many are like that.

one of the many things which makes you attractive is your frankness and honesty

to tell me almost anything/everything which you're not obliged to do so.

(thank you)

friday night

2010-05-07T23:59:00.000-07:00

the focus is not on me.

(my background)

look at how messy my room is now.

bags, clothes, accessories, papers, comestics everywhere.

I better start packing before my mom starts to nag :O

(I was so bored just now )

I've already thought of what to wear if I'm hitting town tomorrow ^^

and so ...

I caught Ip-man 2 today.

yeap, good movie!

love the fighting scenes, fast and swift (:

some of the actions and moves were so smooth and flowy which reminds me of what errol said about female's martial arts.

(heehee. yes, I ever thought of taking up for self-defense

but I don't want to end up like errol who has developed a fetish for punching people. -.-)

LOL

still, thumbs up to chinese kung-fu! (HAHA at cocky foreigners :P)

My interview with Ms.Prosecutor went well, yesterday.

heard from IO, she used to be a police officer but being a prosecutor has a better job prospect.

while waiting for ms prosecutor,

I was seated outside with few other officers.

pretty intimidating cause I can't do anything illegal: like dropping a piece of tissue and act as if I didn't litter.

(LOL! i was just kidding.)

okay, my mind's blank now.

cause my dear one is being stalked by some stranger.

don't understand these people, go get a life elsewhere and stop scaring the shit out of us.

I suggest that you can try hitting clubs and pubs if you're desperate.

(mmm.. maybe ktv lounges too if you like cheena-accent.)

alright. i'm done.

bye!

agree with me, much?

2010-05-05T20:13:00.000-07:00

shit is tomorrow, tomorrow is shit.

i see shit coming.

how, help?

i don't like talk to mom/dad cause' they love jumping to conclusions

and assume a lot.

really, a lot.

they're always expecting me to understand them.

what the hell.

i thought my nursery/primary/secondary/juniorcollege teachers thought us to

give and take?

how come i'm always the one giving?

LOL!

i know this can't be apply here when it comes to parents buttt ...

i just want to make some sense out of it and make myself sound pathetic

so i can gain some sympathy.

so so so, did i manage to ? ^^

too lazy to exercise!

2010-05-04T12:59:00.000-07:00

till date, I still can't find the motivation to exercise.

that's damn bad.

kept saying about my exercise plan but not doing it.

so I (purposely) snack-ed on cream biscuits and potato chips just now

to motivate myself to shed off the extra carbo and fats which I just ate.

(hahaha! and yes, I did it intentionally. the potato chips sucks though. lol.)

so I'm going to swim later.

and yogurt + fruits for dinner tonight. great! :D

VICTORIA'S SECRET IN SG

2010-05-03T01:48:00.000-07:00

OMG!

I KNOW I'M SUCH A NOOB!

BUT I JUST GOOGLE-D AND REALISED THAT VICTORIA'S SECRET IS ALREADY IN SG!

WTF! WHY DID I TOOK SO LONG.

OKAY, I'M GG TO THE IR SOON! WHO'S COMING?

monday morning rumblings

2010-05-03T01:31:00.000-07:00

after browsing through blogshops and blog-hopping,

i guess ...

i need to go shopping soon.

i need:

new clothes,

new wallet,

new bag,

new shoes (oh wait no! i dont need heels but if I see one I like, why not?)

new make up,

new facial products,

new accessories

...

i need almost everything and anything.

meanwhile,

i'm still enjoying life by keeping myself company with myself!

yeah, i've been spending time alone sleeping/eating (yes, not exercising yet :P)

i want things to move slowly and not jam-packed with events.

it's a good/bad thing cause i tend to get lazy and end up, nothing's done.

soon people, i'll meet up with all of you soon.

quite a few stuffs to settle and yes, im worried about thurs.

sheesh! hope all things goes well and mr/ms prosecutor will be nice.

987FM 21 hot guys event

2010-05-01T20:52:00.000-07:00

I attended the 21 hot guys event last saturday at Zouk.

yes, last saturday - 2 days before my exams.

I know, what the hell right.

I cant believe I'm this daring too to actually have fun before exams and it's just 2 days away.

but I had to be there to support my friend, James, for the event.

honestly speaking, I wasnt really in the mood to party that night.

I felt guilty and headed straight home after the event before midnight and mugged till 5am.

HA! muggerrrr!!!

still,

here's some of the photos taken on that day itself.

yeah! chris again! hahaha...

as what I've said in previous post, he charmed everyone on that night itself.

every guy is supposed to do a talent performance for a few minutes

and he did a "lap dance" (i'm not sure if it's spelled this way) with the boss of 987fm.

omg! I can still remember vivdly what he did that night.

his dance was like "visual sex", kissing, touching and biting the female.

bet the woman was enjoying that moment. haha!

i mean...

c'mon! it's chris, not any tom/dick/harry.

i enjoyed myself with the company of friends

but the winner that night was "WTH!"

he won by stripping and taking off his pants. -.-

from 21 guys to 10 guys to top 3 to the winner.

the whole thing was quite a flop i would say. the crowd wasnt enthusiastic.

the way to determine to final 3 guys was stupid too,

the top 10 had to play "musical chairs" and fight their way to get into the final 3 positions.

LOL!

amusing!

POA fashion show

2010-05-01T20:32:00.000-07:00

here's some of the photos which I took from POA fashion show (3 weeks ago)

this black model has a strong & powerful walk.

super strong stage presence, i must say.

everyone sets their eyes on her when she's strutting her stuffs down the runway.

any idea who this hot dude is?

(let me tell you...)

Chris Peterson!

he's the sex man, seriously.

international model, half-korean, electrifying eyes that will kill, charming..

i've seen him around a couple of times: cleo's preview, cleo actual, 21 hot guys, poa fashion show.

he doesnt have to do much, just a wink and smile and "sarang-heiyo" , ... girls SCREAMMMM!!!

goodness!

but boy, he's gorgeous! (:

thanks to James,

I've got the invitation to this show and I brought Kelly along.

we each got a goodie bag for ourselves and there's vouchers inside.

I fell in love with this pair of sandals which was modelled by one of the models at the show.

went to the boutique after the show, too bad it didnt have my size but

I got another pair instead.

thought it's going to cost a blast but no, cheap cheap cheap(:

HOLIDAYS BABY! (:

2010-05-01T00:38:00.000-07:00

holidays are here!!! (:

WHOOHOO!

done with exams, over with semester 2!

great! ah-ha!

now there's so much to do during the holidays.

i've got plans for it already but i'm not sure if i'll be able to do all.

still, plans are plans.

#1) littlegirl's belated bday celebration

omg cheng! if you see this, can you like text/email/slow-mail/call/videocall or what's not to tell me

when's your exams ending so we can plan our secret mission *winks*

#2) i'm going to take up driving *promised!*

oh well! promises are meant to be broken, right? *tsk*

hahaha!

kidding folks, i want to get the damn license and get on the road, public transport is too much of a hassle

and cab fares are taking a toll on my bank account. - sobs

#3) diet/exercise plan

slimmer thighs, defined jawlines, smaller arms, defined abs, toned arms, ...

HA!

i can't get enough of my own body seriously, i'm nuts.

i mean i'm always not satisfied with it - I need it to be in tip-top condition (:

still still still,

applause to jaimecheng for not snacking unnecessary for the whole of this semester.

even if i do, it's ONCE in a while, and it's really ONCE!

(an icecream treat in 4months; fast food in 3months...)

if not, i'll opt for healthier snack to satisfy my cravings.

(plain crispy crackers - less than 3grams of fats)

i considered anything more than 3grams of fats as unhealthy!

not joke. (i looked at health/nutritional label when i shop for food)

#4) MSI 2010

been approached to take part in MSI this year.

and yeah, i'll give it a try.

whether i'll be shortlisted will be another thing.

anyway, i'll be doing charity work so why not? (:

#5) tnptf 2010

waited for one whole year, here i come!

slim chances but i'll want to be in top form before the calling comes.

#6) meetups with friends (sec/college/uni) and cousins.

all the dates/meetups which have been planned months/years ago, here i come.

cant wait to see everyone and catch up! :D

#7) plans of celebrating my bday at my place this year

should I?

#8) work/assignments/portfolio

don't intend to work part/full-time but rather, taking up assignments.

really good assigments with good $moolah$.

i'm thinking of building up my portfolio too, should contact photog/friends

to help me with it soonnnnnnn...

#9) UNIVERSAL STUDIO!

#10) a short holiday trip, perhaps?

#11)im thinking of taking up muaythai or kickboxing again, what the hell! hahaha.

im always saying it but not doing it.

or maybe yoga? pilates?

speaking of which, i'm currently into comfy dress pants and fitting top.

it gives me a sporty and healthy look. (:

i cant wait for victoria's secret to retail in sg so i can buy their gorgeous outfits! :D

alrighty, i cant think of anything now.

im just typing whatever that comes to my mind.

i'm going to rot at home tomorrow and meeting love on sunday(:

all about being alone

2010-04-27T18:57:00.000-07:00

left 2 more papers to clear!

whoohoo!

i'm smelling my holidays already (: *beams*

anyway, i'm currently alone in the library.

dear friend just left to attend to something/someone.

it's still feels good to hang around with this dear friend of mine.

havent been catching up much with him cause of exams

and we all have our own commitments.

needless to say, I know many things have been going on lately

but no matter how/what/when/where/who/why ...

i'll always be here for you if you always need a listening ear.

hope you'll be fine after tonight or in the next few hours(:

me?

what about me?

exams.

i'm glad that I cleared both math and stats papers.

doing the helpsheet (what I called the help-me-to-help-you-shit cheatsheet)

is enough to take a toll on me for the past few nights.

i was busy copying down all the solutions from tutorial/exams papers into my helpsheet.

my handwriting is effing micro.

it's so small i had to keep reading it so i know i wrote what at where.

3 more days baby and i'll be free.

hello friends/loved ones, please date me and may all jobs fall on me *winkz*

im thinking of dropping my tuition kid, should i?

but she's my source of income every month

though i really dislike how annoying her family can get.

rahhhhh...

tell me how.

2010-04-21T10:21:00.000-07:00

people who think that they know-it-all

are

pain in the ass! (to me, at least)

*humble is the word!

angsty

2010-04-19T23:28:00.000-07:00

i get irritated easily these few days.

why?

too much coffee?

but seriously, you really pissed me off today.

don't understand why can't you be more ...

generous,

understanding,

giving,

and

truthful!?!

it's annoying when i know what you're thinking and you're not telling me till I asked.

ugh!

friday morning

2010-04-16T10:46:00.000-07:00

i'm in the science library now...

just done with my 8am lesson and injecting myself with espresso + mocha now - slept for only 2 hours last night.

nothing in mind now (which is good)

and thanks for the surprise yesterday. (:

but i guess my reaction doesnt seem like i'm happy or surprised (wth jaime!) ... i really am, in fact!

still in awe whenever i looked at it. awesome.

it sort of cleared away my blues for this week and im ready to welcome the challenges (and shits) that are coming my way in the coming two weeks.

oh, if you're wondering why i'm speaking or typing in this way,

i've been in a "heck-care" or "i-dont-give-a-shit" mode for quite a while.

so that explains.

if i were to care, i'm going to be god damn busy, bothered and what's not.

so why care?

seriously, life's better when you choose to not care at times.

dont you think so?

alright,

bye!

2010-04-15T02:58:00.000-07:00

i think the reason why you're still at the back of mind,

up till today,

is because i know you'll be always be there whenever i need someone.

but it has since stopped.

so all i could do is to just think and imagine the impossible.

//edit.//

i saw your dad.

i thought of you.

xxxxxxxx...

2010-04-14T11:18:00.000-07:00

y'know what?

sometimes, i really wish that there's this someone whom i can talk to - about anything.

i think what's missing now is one whom i can truly rely on that's why i've been trying to be independent and strong? but deep down, i know i still need that someone, be it a friend or a partner. at times, i really regret why did i even share so much about myself. i share because i think i can trust and confide in you, but when it turns out otherwise, i'll retreat and think about everything all over again. i'm confused. lost. upset. bothered. dont understand what i'm doing at this point when there's more serious stuffs to handle - like studies. exams coming, stop thinking about other stuffs jaime. i think there's still more for me to understand myself before others can understand me. i wonder. i need to be less of a bother now and not think about it. i mean, i cant change anything and will probably know how things will turn out to be. so why should i bother to even change it or make it in such a way that will probably make me feel better. i'm in a "i cant really be bothered" mode now, just keep to myself will do. really.

i'm glad that this blog is still around cause i dont like to post what/how im exactly feeling on facebook or twitter, and gets everyone asking me if im okay and what's not.

no one's reading this space so it still feels good to come back here and let things out.

i cant sleep and i really need to work. havent been feeling this way for a while and it sucks that it's coming back again. damn.

sorry, but i'm really EMO now.

what the F!

2010-04-03T14:22:00.000-07:00

i'm amazed how I can manage to figure out shit issues after a day/two.

(even though i'm very unwilling but all for the sake of putting them at ease.)

fml!

new weird words! woof!

2010-03-25T10:20:00.000-07:00

what's with this word "meows" that people are using?

LOL!

sorry to say this, but it sounds retarded.

seriously!

unless you're trying to say you're a sexy pussy or pussycat dolls or whatsoever...

then.. oh well. -.-

maybe I should start using "woof!" to go against the trend.

LOL!

A SHOUTOUT!

2010-03-17T10:14:00.000-07:00

what's going on now

2010-03-17T10:10:00.000-07:00

hello love, morning greetings!

I finally find some time out to post something here.
I've been busy, march has been crazy so far. if you look at my organiser, my weekly schedule is just packed.
midterms, assignments, tutorials, bday celebrations, parties, CLEO's bachelors preview, CLEO's bachelors finals, commission parade, commission ball, meetups, ...
cause of midterms, i turned down like 6/7 jobs and I had to turn down this hairshow because I knew i can't squeeze out anymore time for 2 rehearsals before the actual event. damn!
my account is depleting now ):
birthday month is crazy cause I've been spending a lot and I dont earn much from my annoying tuition kid. lol!
money money money!

life is pretty crazy now but I'm enjoying myself with loved ones around me.
thank you for making me feel wanted and loved. (:
I wish I had more time and less tutorial/assignments to rush each week.

anyway, this friday, i'll be going to Zirca for CLEO's finals. I've got the VIP passes and I'm left with one more free pass. anyone who wants to go please let me know. (:
I'll be expecting a lot of familiar faces this friday, people from shine, khiel's boys, chris and her groups of friends, amy, tina, hajar, lily and yes, the hot bachelors too! hahaha...
I was down at the preview last saturday at wavehouse and I made a couple of friends, the bachelors themselves, new girls... fun! I brought kelly along and I'm glad she enjoyed herself! (: and I finally met Jasper after how long? few years?!
so if anyone of you want to check out the hot dudes this friday at zirca, let me know(:

as you've already known, I seldom post photos up here. it's only when i'm super duper free to get them arrange, upload to photobucket and what's not. check out the photos on my fb, it's more updated(:

alright, i'm off to do my assignments. wanna complete it before friday cause my weekend is going to be burnt off by Cleo's Finals, Bday Party and Commission Parade. (Busy!)

see ya(:

2010-03-01T20:12:00.000-08:00

thanks for making my day.

many more to come.

2010-02-17T00:23:00.000-08:00

something got over me and I went to click it.

cause' i still want to know what's going on

...

dearest out there

2010-02-13T14:59:00.000-08:00

hello dearest,

I wonder if there's still people reading ...

was talking to kelly the other day about blogs (in general) and I somewhat sympathize those bloggers who are pretty well-known. there's both good and bad side to it.

the former: people are reading your blog and there's traffic. you can earn money $. lol.

the latter: people just judge you according to what you post on your space and they "assume" that you are the kind of person whom they perceive (just by reading your blog). i guess it's the little price you've to pay for being famous. mmm.. unless you're like xiaxue or something, cause she doesn't give a shit about what you're going to say about her. you left a comment -> you visit her site -> she earns money!

haha!

anyway, I don't know why i'm talking about this.

I'm having midterms break now and tomorrow is CNY day one and V'Day! :D

i'm happy that cny is just like TOMORROW but the break is meant for studying. how shitty man!

I've got lots of tutorial to do, projects, essays and studying. midterms:/

meanwhile, I shall chuck them aside for a while cause I'm going to play real hard and enjoy myself before I slog off my ass for school again.

I don't want to screw up my midterms, basic physical chem screwed me up last semester. chem sucks! :(

I can't afford to let linear algebra 2 screw me up this sem too.

This module is freaking abstract.

I'm learning things like 1 + 1 = 0 !?!

holy shit!

the lecturer is a hong-ky and his pronunciation is "chui".

zero -> ci-oh

prove -> poof

number -> lumber

disgressing...

a lot of people asked me, "how am I going to spend my Vday?"

I replied, "collect red packets?"

(haha! true what, don't tell me you aren't?)

anyway, come to think of it, I've not spent a single V'day.

how sad!

okay, maybe if I'm attached then i'll probably be looking forward to this day but so far, V'day seems a pretty normal day for me. it's just like any other day. Still, to my couple friends, Happy Valentine Day! :D

santucruza 2010

2010-01-31T21:11:00.000-08:00

will blog about Santacruzan 2010 soon

toned

2010-01-30T01:42:00.000-08:00

I developed muscles on my arms from doing push-ups every day!

common sense?!

2010-01-27T22:10:00.000-08:00

2 more days to weekends should be a happy thing.
but...
because tomorrow is a thursday = tuition, I'm dreading it :/
I understand why my friends have to say that secondary and college students are much easier to tutor cause' they will want to study on their own. you don't really have to force them too.
you won't want to be caught in a situation arguing with your kid over a capital "M" and small letter "m", won't you? yes, it's stupid. I thought this was taught in kindergarden? like hello!
but I was told it's common sense that small "n" should be written like this and big "N" should be this whereas capital and small letter "M" should be written like this -> "M" (only a different in size)..

capital : M

small letter: M

this was what she did and it almost killed me trying to explain to her that it's wrong! apparently she doesn't listen cause her school teacher didn't mark her wrong. Moreover, i'm only a tutor.

that rascal is climbing up my head soon but say goodbyes to attitude days.
I'm not going to be smiley towards her from tomorrow onwards. (actually i wasn't already so, 2 lessons ago.)
I feel pressurised coaching her as well cause' her parents expect to see results in her upcoming CA and her pile of assessments (7 chinese books, 4 math books, 2 sciences, 3 english) is making me freak out too!
she doesnt want to cooperate! ugh!

tell me how?!

edit://
that rascal maligned me for teaching her the wrong things and caused her to get a whole page of wrong answers. when asked when will she get back her worksheet, she said, "end of the year!"
how ridiculous?! does it mean that homework given in the next few months will only be returned next year???
she's smart for her age. but too smart and put it to the wrong use!

kind soul, anyone?

2010-01-23T01:45:00.000-08:00

I want this VS tag very badly!

but I dont have a paypal account and how should I go about doing it?

is it reliable?

oh NO! can someone help meeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!

the shipping fee is insane but I dont care cause I really want itttttttttt!!!!!!!!

tangled!

2010-01-21T20:21:00.000-08:00

THE STUPID DAMN COMB TANGLED UP MY HAIR AND MY SCALP IS SCREAMING IN PAIN NOW!

stupid shitass comb! ouch ouch ouch! my head!

on a happier note, I went for a sponsored makeover today and I got a new haircut(:

love it! my bangs is so neat now!

my hair is about shoulder-length now and I can't cut it too short

cause' I still need my hair for the 30th.

my hairstylist is so nice to ask me to go back again before cny so she can trim my hair for me for FREE! whoopys! (:

yet to buy cny clothes = very very sad!

I don't know why but this year cny doesn't seem to have the "qi fen" yet.

maybe I haven't been hearing any nice cny songs or see any red lanterns and stuffs dangling here and there.

I want the F21 blue maxi dress for new year but it's not on the rack anymore.

why didn't I buy it the other time, why why why?!

okay, enough of my rubbish.

I need to go and print my article and sayang my head! nicompoop comb! :/

2010-01-19T21:27:00.000-08:00

THANKS to chris', we had fun giving out bookmarks today.
we were so fast and efficient that raymond named us "Flyers Queens". haha! along the way, met a few cheeky ones but we shook them off and moved on. we finished before 7pm, even faster than the uncle who was stationed at Raffles and he said "ni men fen wan le huh?" (you guys are done giving out the bookmarks?)
:D had a quick dinner at long john before chris went off for tuition!

okay!
off to bed now~

p/s: fitting tomorrow, contact aaron!

2010-01-14T21:46:00.000-08:00

The internet connection has been super cranky for the past few days.
I can't log in cause I can disconnected the moment I got connected.
The next moment, I got connected again ... and disconnected ... and connected ... (WTH!)

Holidays were pretty good cause I spent time meeting up nice people(((:

OKAY, this week's the first week of school and I don't have school on wed and thurs. *beams*

in the library

2010-01-06T16:03:00.000-08:00

I'm in the library now with my tuition kid..

She's doing her school assigments while I'm doing nothing... (not reading books obviously)

anyway, my tuition kid (Jaslyn) is pretty adorable.

Just the other day, I was tutoring her and I asked her when's her exam.

She told me it's this June.

So I told her,

"Oh! By then, I'm already having holidays ... and I've three months of break!"

"HUH?! three months?! (totally shocked!)"

"I want to go to university too!"

"Okay! so you must study hard!"

"ok ok ok! I will study hard!" (and she still continued with... waa! three months of holidays!"

HAHAHA! how cute!

cousin's wedding

2010-01-04T03:19:00.000-08:00

my cousin's wedding at York's Hotel.

- i didn't take a lot of pictures, a couple with cousins.

- lazy to upload the only photo in my camera

- attention on me wasn't my curl hair(: , neither was it on my makeup, my bling watch nor my low back body-fitting dress :/ (HAHA!)

- my 5.5 inch killer heels took all my limelight away! all eyes were on it! I bet everyone is wondering how I can ever walk in it! but gosh! it's mad gorgeous! :D it makes me superrrrrrrrrrrr tall, like really tall. I was taller than my cousin by one and a half head! it's that insane! :P

- food wasn't really great but I still love to attend wedding with glutinous rice and yam paste with ginko nuts as one of their dishes. (:

- big gathering with extended family was great as usual.

- caught up with cousins, play itouch games while waiting for food, play with my adorable niece (she is so so so ... cute!)

- i saw housefly flying in the ballroom! eek!

looking back 2009!

2009-12-31T23:35:00.000-08:00

in one and a half hour time, comes 2010! HOLA! (:

I can't wait for 2010 to come and say byebye to 2009. it's not because I'm looking forward to a year older cause i'll be 20 by then *CRYS* but 2009 hasn't been a good year.
there were good times ... and there were bad times but the down seems to supersede the up by a whole lot.

let's see: things were pretty alright at the start of the year.

#1: I joined HSBC, job scope was pretty crazy. I had OT everyday and stayed in the office till midnight trying to clear the backlog left behind by this anal colleague before me. yeah, he is anal! I got scolded and yelled at over the phone by clients a couple of times when it's not my fault and all I could do was to apologise when I didn't know what happened :/ ("customer's always right" policy?!) ... the things I had to clear was shitty but the colleagues there made working life so much easier. our laughters and jokes always filled the office and we can laugh the entire week. I left HSBC after I've finished my part and re-joined back in May/June cause they needed help. The second time back was a joke! I went to a different department and the colleagues were unfriendly. I hated what I was doing cause' it's insanely boring and to avoid going to work, I applied for leave/MC/ or any reasons I can come out with just to not go to work. nice! I left in July cause school's starting and I wanted a break from work.

#2: Shine. Many memories. Nice ones. Ugly ones. Memorable ones.
I attended every single modelling classes I had. The girlfriends I made, the things I learnt, acting skills, the poses I came out with and the catwalk I mastered till it became my strong-power walk (what they said). I completed the course and invited my two girlfriends to watch me "perform". THANKS LOVE! APPRECIATED! :D I gave it my all, in hope that I would "shine and glow" so that I can be discovered and I did, eventually. I was spotted during my 2nd photoshoot and was given the opportunity. People were envied cause I was what they called "the-one-and-only" and was pretty much spotted in the agency cause I was the only female. I learnt a lot: teach, polish my walk/poses, scout, etc. I was also given the opportunity to teach pageants ladies, to judge the pageant event, attend celebrity's birthday event, fashion show ... Everything seems to good to be true. The amount of time I spent on saturdays and on certain weekdays exhausted a lot of my energy when I'm back home. Slowly, I get to know more of the "dark secrets" which were never meant to be disclosed but it seems that they are rather known now, somehow. One of the things that Shine has given me was this special someone who once made a mark in my life: F.

#3: R/s. Being together with F was like a dream which I woke up not long after we were an item. It's not easy maintaining this r/s. It's really difficult. complicated. there's so many hurdles that we have to overcome. Sometimes, I do really envy couples whom I saw on the streets. Simple gestures/movements like holding hands, a hug, ... that we weren't able to do freely. F has done the sweetest things ever but maybe, we are just not meant to be.

#4: Family. At one point, relationship between me and my family was rocky. We quarrelled, argued, shouted, cried ... like there's no tomorrow. It was mad. I hated home then and it sucks that I still have to return home and see them everyday. Things got better after a couple of weeks and I'm still thankful that the trust and bond is still there. We still joked, laughed, and I'm glad that my parents took things in their stride eventually. They learnt to open to me and likewise. I will never be able to see this if such things didn't happen. It was this period of time that I realised my family really loves me a lot. (what happen to the past few year? goodness!)

#5: Friends. Ever since the start of semester one, school life has been busy. Meetups with friends during school days or weekends were difficult cause everyone has tight schedule. NO matter what, I'm still glad that all of us put in an effort to meet up with everyone during this school break.
To my college girlfriends, every year xmas celebration is a MUST MUST MUST! all the best to next semester(:
even though, I don't get to see you girls often in the same school, I love you cheng & littlegirl(:

To my usual clique, we may have lost kw this year but he's still with us. always. we know it! I don't see you guys like I always do but I'm happy that we still get to see each other and joke like there's no tomorrow during birthdays. I may suck at LAN games but online games have never been so much fun when we're all playing together(((: and this goes out to: kangjie, bingchao, xiongwei, weiwen, weixiong, leongcheng, kemund, rachel(:

To the NPCC mates, we're still as one. We probably only get to see each other a few times in a year cause everyone is everywhere in singapore studying/working/serving the nation. However, we don't feel distant on every meetup. the usual jokes, the usual games, the usual people, the friendship, the bond (:

So so so ..., a chalet next year during the long term break please!!! LOVES!

#6: New Face! To be able to participate in tnpnf is a totally new experience and exposure for me. It's a regret that I didn't get in at the last round but there's always next year. Maybe I wasn't at my best form this year or maybe the judges didn't like my face (LOL!) or maybe I don't have the whole package or ... whatever. 2010! here I come (:

What can I ask for in the new year - 2010!
I just hope that 2010 will be better than 2009! that's all I can ask for. Be it in what aspects.

p/s: I just learnt that VS fashion show is opened to public in the states. So i want to add one more to my new year resolution: that's to travel to the states being number one and getting to watch VS fashion show live and watch Alessandra, Miranda, Marisa, Doutzen, Behati, Adriana and Heidi catwalk LIVE TOO! (((:

that's all! :D

HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL!
see you next year!

LOVES,
Jaime(:

What It Takes to Burn Off Hot Chocolate

When it's cold outside, there's nothing like the warm, creamy deliciousness of hot chocolate — especially with whipped cream on top! But if you're looking to lose weight or stick to your diet and exercise routine, you'll want to think twice before ordering that chocolaty drink. In addition to the whipped cream, most coffeehouses and diners make hot chocolate with 2% or whole milk, upping the fat and calorie content. Here's a look at just how much exercise you need to do to burn off such a drink:

16-ounce hot chocolate made with 2% milk and whipped cream: 370 calories

Exercise Equivalents

•Walking: 112 minutes
•Biking: 53 minutes
•Running: 37 minutes
•Swimming: 71 minutes
The next time you want the rich taste of chocolate on a cold day, ask your local barrista to make your hot chocolate with skim milk, and pass on the whipped cream. Or better yet, have a hot coffee with skim milk and enjoy a small piece of dark chocolate on the side.

*****

I feel so accomplished now cause' I just came back from a swim (((:

So since I was lazy to travel to town as it was already past three, I decided to walk home from the sports complex as I've a lot of time to spare. I called mummy and asked her if she wants to get any stuffs from the shopping malls I walked past, she said I was crazy to have walk home! Haha.

Normally, I need to talk two bus rides home (from the complex) which would take me 45 minutes and the walk took me about 45 minutes -50 mintues. (: save the adult fares and the weather was pretty cooling so I didn't sweat at all.

Anyway, walking is a good exercise. it's better than running though' running sheds off fats faster cause' you work out your whole body. by exercising regularly, having less oil/sugar/salts and more proteins/fruits/veg in meals: you'll definitely shed some fats off and tone up your body. (((:

here's my inspirations to a healthy lifestyle and good body!

Marisa Miller's bod is insanely gorgeous, her whole body is so toned up. Look at her ABS!!!

YES! the VS's angels again! HAHA! (:

blue maxi dress

2009-12-29T23:53:00.000-08:00

this is the maxi dress which I'm referring to, the one which I tried in F21 yesterday.

the cut in front is very pretty,

is it nice? (:

it's coming to an end...

2009-12-29T22:33:00.000-08:00

the year is coming to an end soon which means school is starting.
i've yet to bid my modules but my timetable seems pretty nice so far and that's provided I get my desired tutorial slots (:

what I've planned:
- monday (10am-2pm)
- tuesday (8am-6pm)
- wednesday (it's either free or one tutorial: 12pm-1pm)
- thursday (12pm-3pm)
- friday (10am-6pm)

YAY! i'm happy that school ends at 6pm only on tues and fri(((: at least it's better than semester one where i've 4day/week ending at six. It's really trashy to go home during rush hour cause the bus will be packed, traffic jam, train will be sardine-packed as well. good two hours gone!

Anyway, I caught Alvin & the Chipmunks 2 yesterday!
the chipmunks are cute! I think theodore (the one in green) is the cutest cause he looks just like a round furball, so innocent and adorable!

It's been a while since I went to town after I got back from hongkong so I did a little shopping at the new 313!
gracious me! It's just less than two hours and I've hit on a few stuffs.
I contemplated a lot and end up getting a F21 top for 9bucks! HAHA! v cheap!
Now I'm putting on hold:
#1: rose bronze watch - $59
#2: F21 maxi dress with pretty cut - $45
#3: ALDO clutch: $65

the three items are only what I saw yesterday!
I still need things like a planner for school (it'll be better if my planner is sweet/pretty/cute. HAHA!), cosmetics (I don't really know why I need to get them when they're piling up in my drawer now, I just feel the need to. LOL!), new clothes for school and heels (okay, not again! when I just got the one from ALDO!)
Now, you know where I spent my money on. SHOPPING, yes shopping!

after looking at this, so why do I still need more cosmetics when I've only two eyes, one nose, one mouth and one face?!!!

Merry X'mas!!!

2009-12-26T20:04:00.000-08:00

MERRY CHRISTMAS! ((:

this year, the few of us spent it at Janelle's place and we had potluck and xmas' present exchange(:

a little screwed up at the food for both bingchao and me:

#1: we wanted pizza hut but they didn't accept my order when I called in cause there's too many orders and they're not taking in anymore at the moment:/ we substituted it with canadian pizza (YUCKS! it's disgusting! no wonder 2-for-1!)

#2: we couldn't get turkey (huoji - fire chicken) and bingchao made a fool of himself at cold storage (laughs) and we ended up buying KFC: "ji" (chicken) without "huo" (fire). HAHA

the spread of food was alright but there's a lot of carbo food so we couldn't finish.

we had: canadian pizza, crispy chicken, baked pasta w mushroom, potato salad, a lot of fries, popcorn chicken, spicy prawn dippers, jelly.

since there's a lot of leftovers, we had to play games and the forfeit was to help finished up the food.

I was lucky enough to only lost once and ate a slice of pizza, the rest lost at least twice! haha!!!

everyone ended up feeling very bloated and naseous when the food was cleared!

the best part was when bingchao lost this game called "Oh-My-God" (we improvised this game from "Who-What-Huh"), he had to finish a packet of fries dipped in a bowl of chilli sauce and I FED HIM! after that round, he had been waiting for the right time to seek revenge! HAHAHA! but too badddddddddddddd!

later in the night, leongcheng and kemund joined us and they brought beer when we asked them to get ice lemon tea -.- no idea which part of getting ice lemon tea they don't understand?! :/

when they came, we played "heart attack" for 2hours!

we were insane, totally!

the poker cards were very "chui" and we had missing cards too cause they were flying around when someone shouted "HEART ATTACK!" HAHA!

I stayovered at Janelle's place and went home next morning, looking like a zombie! :p

Now, I'm already looking forward to semester 2 holidays (3months!!!) and we're planning either a chalet or genting trip! coollllllllll! can't wait! (((:

Anyway, I think the two ladies are happily attached and we met James today.
really happy for Christina cause' I think James really treat her well and vice versa.
the couple really makes me feel like going into a relationship, a really good one but I think I should just snap out of it *wakeup!*

anyway anyhow, we're planning a BBQ before school starts and both couples will be coming.
... and I'll be left alone ): I told eliza that I'll stick to her cat then. how sad! HAHA!

... still packing my luggage!
a lot to bring, don't know what to wear.
tell me how?
i saw a lot of pretty shades today and I'm getting them tomorrow.
shit! bye moolahs! :/

Reality Check

2009-12-07T00:57:00.000-08:00

Reality Check: I hate my face cause' I think it's big :/
(one day... when I'm really free... I shall compare it with Mcdonald's hotcakes! haha!)

anyway... I really didn't know that there's people reading this space... so to those whom I know but I don't know that you're reading, hello! (:

hongkong trip in less than a week's time and I've yet to pack my luggage. I took it out yesterday cause' mummy was afraid that I would forget my pin number. (and I didn't!) I have yet to think of what to bring and wear over there other than my shades, scarfs, cap, i-touch, ... and none of them are wearable. LOL! so I walked into my mum's room and told her this, "I've decided to bring only one thing there and it fits perfectly into the luggage! BIG TWEETY!" Okay, yes. I'm very lame, I know. :/

I've meetups from thursday onwards (for this week) which means good food = very likely that food may be sinful = *counting my calories* = exercise more = swim more = ... ... ... maintaining fat level at equilibrium. haha!

I'm watching my diet/meals very closely now and I've been swimming so I'm slightly tanned with visible tanned lines. My arms look somewhat toned now, very very happy! even xiaoshi can see it! (((: hur hur... okay, i'm off to do crutches now, dvd, sleep. goodnights (:

2009-12-05T11:12:00.000-08:00

I finally got my black heels and it's standing at 5.5 inch high!

very very pretty.

this is the highest I can go, I suppose? (you never know...)

build castles in the air

2009-12-05T10:51:00.000-08:00

I want to be a tai-tai next time so I can splurge on the most expensive thing everrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr and not feel guilty about it because I AM A TAI-TAI!

Alessandra Ambrosio

2009-11-29T23:08:00.000-08:00

One of my favourite supermodels whom I looked up to:

Alessandra Ambrosio

the picture above was taken last year at the Victoria's Secret Fashion show 2008.

just look at her vavavoom figure, can you tell that she just gave birth 2 months ago?!

Absolute hot mama!

even though her hair looks messy, she still looks stunning. as always!
if only, i've 1/100 of her! HAHA! (you wish!)I find Alessandra Ambrosio really really attractive.
Her defined features, sharp chin , electrifying eyes, flowy blonde hair, ...
I found quite a few videos online saying that she's a down-to-earth person which gives this supermodel even more credits!

seriously, why are asians so short? in comparison to the caucasians.

it's not easy for singaporeans to make it big in this industry unless

you're like 5feet 8 and above.

mind you, 5feet 7 is only 1.7m and not many girls are of this height.

I'm not! that's why I'm complaining now! (HAHAHA!!!)

Many caucasians have the look that clients want.

I called it the "international look". If you got it, kudos!

you can just depend on your face to earn money for the rest of your life. haha!

I see it less in the chinese.

that's why caucasians/eurasians tend to stand out more and

you'll see them appearing more often in print ads, commercial, runways, ... ... ...

mmm...

what do you think?

(here, a penny for your thoughts)

hello all

2009-11-28T12:26:00.000-08:00

To earthlings who are still reading this space: HELLO!

my exams are finally over! (:

I've been waiting for this day more than a month ago, this shows how eager I am to enjoy my holidays!!!

Yesterday marked the end of semester one, how time flies. actually, one semester is really short with 13 weeks of study and 1 one week of study break. at the end of 13th week, it's exams! so we only have this (..................) amount of time to digest everything and apply them. mmm... definitely not easy!

I'm not sure if I've chosen my modules correctly this semester.

"Basic Physical Chemistry" is definitely a WRONG CHOICE! who on earth choose someone's core module to fulfil uni's requirement? yeah, me -.- it killed me. badly! The german lecturer was bad. shingz! He talked like his, "de gus ... eee-va-po-reted" meaning "the gas ... evaporated". half of the time he was speaking like this. oh sorry, I mean 99.9/100 of the time. The other lecturer, german's wife, took over after 7 weeks and is way much better than his husband. I wonder how do they communicate?!

"wifffevv! I lurfffe you!"

"oh! you mean you love me?"

"yas!"

haha! Jaime, you suck! hahahaha!

back to what I was on, just now...

"Einstein's Universe & Quantum Weirdness": as weird as how the name of the module sounds, it is indeed weird. This is what we learnt. "time is an illusion", "is there a moon? or it is only there when you look at it?", "the star which you are looking at now is some hundreds years ago..."

HAHA! you get what I'm trying to say. I still remembered at the last lecture, the prof ended with "if you said you've understand quantum mechanics, you've not understand it all. you're not supposed to understand it." mmm! of course, I did learn something and the best thing is it's non-examinable:D so whoever who wants to take this module, I've the answers to class assignments. It's roughly the same every semester. not to forget, hazel and bunch who made lectures more interesting and perk me up when I'm about to doze off... *smiles*

"Southeast Asian Studies": same module as cheng! (:the topics covered are pretty interesting. I enjoyed teaming up with Linda and Jasmine to do the project together. we chose "transgender" as our topic and we did a diary to cover his/her life-story.very very interesting. hahaha! I still remembered vividly when I took out the condom from the small packet, the lubricant freaked me out totally. what made it worst was when I went to smell it! (what was I thinking?) I was expecting some chocolate or strawberry flavour but I was wrong. it smells like rubber :/

(cheng, if you're reading this... thank you so much for asking me to fulfil my breadth first just in case I'll regret choosing my modules. because of this, I really met nice people who helped me along the way. loves!)

My last two modules are my core! MATH! :D interesting lectures and lecturers. humourous. Dr Ng is very charamastic! HAHAHA! I like the way he speaks, totally! I'll still be seeing them next semester, (I think?).. (: (oh wait! before you get me wrong... I do look at my notes too and not just keep staring at the charasmatic lecturer!)

Results are going to be out before christmas which is after my hongkong trip! (:

yes, my family and I are going to hongkong on the 13th and we're going to spend 6 good quality days with each other. I'm really looking forward to it because it has been some time since all of us spent "family time" together. It's either I'm busy with work/school or brother has NS. so it's shingz that dad/mine/brother's 21st birthday are spent at suki sushi. :/ mummy's one coming up in a week's time and it better be good.(:

On a random note: I've been thinking of going overseas for internships/ summer programme/ schooling for one semester. I've got a thing for western countries so China is definitely out! hahaha! I've got enough of the whole lot of them in school, I wonder if they know that we dislike them. (I've no idea about the rest but my friends and I sure do find them irritating. they're way more kiasu than s'poreans!!! climbing over tables and chairs just to get a seat in the front rows is shingz! getting 70/75 for math and holding your paper high enough for everyone sitting at the back to see is shingz too! flooded the female toilet with 10 of them in queue and talking about beef noodles is very shingz!)

okay, where was I? oh yes, I want to go to the states! I want to go to New York. The Fashion city! Victoria's Secret!!!

let me disgress again! HAHA!

VS just had their VS's fashion show sometime this month. according to some unknown report, Heidi Klum just gave birth weeks ago and she got back her vavavoom figure just in time for the show. how did she do that?! Merisa Miller wore the most exquisite lingerie for this show and VS just contracted their very first chinese model and she's catwalking for the show. The very lucky chinese woman is going to make it big cause VS's models get a lot of attention and they are one of the highest earning models in the world.

Anyhow, overseas programmes ain't cheap. I check it out and the estimation was $10,000 - $12,000. mmm.. maybe I should forget about going to the states to study, why not holiday? anyone interested? HAHAHA! (:

mmm... I guess I shall not continue cause I'm tired :/ I'm going to do a end-of-year post soon cause there's so much for me to say about this year. A lot of events are coming soon and I can't wait! gathering with fav people, mummy's bdae, grandma's bdae, hongkong, christmas sleepover, new year, cousin's wedding ... ((((((((((((((:

till then, earthlings :D

loves - Jaime

2009-11-13T00:31:00.000-08:00

After jogging yesterday, I went to supermarket to do some "tidbits-shopping" for brother cheng.
As i stood in front of a shell filled with assorted flavours of pringles, I realised there's this uncle staring at me. He followed me when I went over to the instant noodles section.

(mMMmmm...)

that uncle then approached me and asked, ...

"are you the one who acted in channel 8?"

(HAHAHAHAHHA!)

I just smiled and said, "no, I'm not!"

he went, "oh really?! you are not?! but you really look like her!"

HAHAHAHAHHA!!!

and at that point of time, I was looking rather disheveled with strands of hair falling at the sides.

Imagine if I say "Yes!" WAA! I think the uncle will flyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy~~~~~~~~~!!! HAHAHAH!

2009-10-31T10:42:00.000-07:00

I can't wait for exams to be over so I can start on my exercise routine soon!
I'm going to cut down on extra fats!!! like seriously, it's annoying! i used to much skinnier! HAHA! seeing megan fox on my wallpaper and amazing people online is making me feel bad. Hazel is going to be my exercise partner and exercising is going to be so much more fun when you're doing it together with someone(: AWESOME! :D

kickboxing, cardio, swimming, running, aerobics, crutches, ... can't waitttt...

anyway, it's rather confirmed that I'll be going to Hongkong this december and taiwan for the next holidays. (: so the more I need to tone-up myself before going hk and cousin's wedding next year!
I've planned my holidays already, fast right! and it's rather packed with exercise, tuition, travelling, many meetups, celebrations, ...

I've yet to collect my cheque for my previous assignment .
I need to collect it soon, my account is dying :/ with money means shopping! :/ (my 5 inch heels!)
I want to pursue what I want :D

buzzing busy

2009-10-25T11:09:00.000-07:00

I've been insanely busy for the past few days. :/

Despite so, there's still some things which I would love to fall back on and share over here:

I met up with the favourite people on thursday night for dinner.(:
As usual, I laughed so hard that night at their jokes and how the "globe" joke can evolutionise to their very own version; xw got "angry" cause he didn't have a chance to talk about brunei and ww needs to ask him 5 times before he's willing to do ... HAHAHA!
Even though that night was short but it was well-spent whenever these people are around.

Chemistry has been really dreadful for those who take this module.
Then again, I'm starting to feel less of it because I've very fun lecture mates which makes the "slow-moving" 2 hours more enjoyable.
I remembered qh telling me how hot/pretty this girl (in math/stats) is and asked if I see her around in school ... After babbling on and on, he suddenly said, "aiya... but she's a S***!!!" qh's friend and I were (... stunned ...).
It's more of like hilarious rather than shocked because one moment, he was complementing about this person and the next moment.. "SHINGZ!" (HAHAHA! the in-word now created by Ris Low)

Anyway, I went to the airport to study yesterday and the bunch of us created a whole lot of jokes:
"SHINGZ! our hair is BOOMZ!" (on our way back home on a lorry...)
"what time will you be going home? I'll be going home when the airport closes." (airport closes???? doesn't seem right. HAHA!)
... ... ...

2009-10-16T02:48:00.000-07:00

time now: 2:38am

i'm still awake, hard on my project.

SEA project due in two weeks
Physics term paper due in three weeks
