What shall i Do when im Feeling Down?

Hey guys, this is a really short post. Because i have been going to grandpa's wake for the past 2 days at staying there till 12pm on average. Hmmm, its been tough but im still hanging on...

Friday is the cremation day. Where will i get the strength to walk with him for his last journey? The strength to push the van, the strength to see the last of him and forever he will be no more.

But wherever im upset, i will look at the bloopers. Bloopers make me laugh. Bloopers make me just forget abt the unhappiness for a while. Thank you winston for sending me the bloopers =) Thanks to my friends who send me smses to console me, Audrey Chong I love you! Jieying, your messages during the first night when i was mourning were so funny that i laughed through my tears. Grace Chan aka Hantu, i wanna kill you already, you dare delete my number! But thanks for your sms =) With my ClickFive and God holding me, i will pull through!!

Here is the bloopers i will share with u guys.


So, yep that is the end of my post. Sayonara. Peace to all!

A Tribute to my Gong Gong

Tears, what do tears mean?
The first tears that formed in my eyes as a baby,
those tears, you were there to see.
The tears of a baby that means nothing but just whims.
18 years later, my tears,
these tears are tears of sadness.
Each tear represent my longing for you,
now that you are no longer here.
But now, my tears, you are not here to see,
cos your eyes are closed...
for an eternity.


Thank you for giving me the chance,
the chance for a last goodbye on Sunday.
Your arms swollen as they may be,
your breathing, hard as they could be,
but still, you summon your hands to wave back to me.
But still, you gathered strength to look at me.
Those soft eyes, friendly eyes, brimming with tears.
I couldnt control and i cried.



Tears, our tears seemed to connect at that instance.
My last words to you before i left were
" Gong Gong, Yan Yan (my cantonese name) loves you"
Did you hear that?
Now that you are gone,
my heart and soul misses you.
But, im glad i got to say those words to you.
Cos i have yet to thank you for the babysitting me,
cooing me and patting me to sleep as a baby.
Saying now it's too late,
but THANK YOU for the 18 years of being with me.


Wherever you go,
Gong Gong, i really miss you.
i will Miss your spiky hair which i used to play with.
I always thought you were the most handsome Grandpa in the world.
You still are.
And you will always be in Yan Yan's heart.

Buffets = to Jaw and Tummy Exercise

Hey ya all! Haha i have been planning recently to have like you know those blogs where people take pictures of their fat bodies then later they follow their strict diet and exercise and then post their pictures daily? Then within a month or so you can really see a difference in their bodies and yeah these blogs really motivate me. But you know, we human beings always tend to procrastinate. Procrastinate and again Procrastinate...

So im also the typical one of those "procrastinaters", if there is such a word. Since today is a Saturday, i reserve Sat and Sun to binge and eat so i let myself go. Today, i asked my family to eat at THe Ritz Carlton, Yeah we had buffet there and it cost $72 per head! Here's the bill for you guys to see!

Total bill was $339 bucks after adding GST and Service Charge

So yeah the food was really really fabulous. I will rate it 10 out of 10 for freshness of food. Dun believe? Take a look at the prawns that i totally dig at for the whole dinner. My family was after the lobster but i prefer prawns. Because im allergic to prawns that arent fresh as my tongue and throat will itch but today none of those itches came up which proves the freshness is there!


Here is the Ginseng prawns which is free flow and i ate like a dozen tiger prawns!


Alright over all the service was really good as the service staff were dressed to the nines, haha i think they were dressed even better than some of the diners as my sis spotted a guy wearing slippers! Hello! Please dress up if you are coming to a FIVE-STAR hotel for dinner Mr X!

Hmmm, i had alot of sushi and vegetable salad as the Balsamic Vinegar dressing was really really refreshing and light! I like. Plus of cos, im on my eat less move more diet! Anyway, i spotted this Pumpkin soup which i wanted to try for so long because i always read Western recipe books with this dish. But, erm i guess it's not for the Chinese palate and those used to your home-made mother soup, this Pumpkin soup is more skewed towards the sweet rather than the savoury soup which we are accustomed to.

Here is the yellowish, really robust pumpkin soup.



And of cos there were a whole array of seafood, lots of hearty herbs flavoured bread and local favourites like Chilli crab but Sis and me looked forward to the desserts! Here is one of the desserts that we ate. I emphasized on one cos we also had tiramisu, kuehs and ice cream!

The dessert that is a Mango with some cream and chocolate mousse with raspberry.


So there you go, this was how i spend my Sat night. Sitting at the Ritz Carlton buffet restaurant and while 3 hours away! But really, nothing beats eating with your family. Im on a diet, but you noe, i will not go back to my old ways for those who know what im talking about =)

Hey give me comments on my acting chops ok? HAHA. Im a first time actress. My acting is imcomparable to my idol Linda Chung and Han Hye Jin but WHoosh, we learn through practice!!! The process was fun la. =)

And oh gosh my eyes are still sore. Wait i shall correct my words, they are still reddish and slightly itchy but the disgusting mucus at least stopped coming out from my eyes. So now, it's just redness which i have no remedy except for the 5ml eye drop and Loads of PRayers to God!!

Today was a very fruitful day. I love Polytechnic, I love my friends and i love Jesus!

SORE EYES!!!!

Hey ya all. Im back after a hiatus.

Just wondering if any of you guys read yesterday sunday times? The article was titles SLEEPY KIDS! How many of us teenagers have enough of sleeping time in Singapore?



I guess the norm of sleeping hours is about 6 hrs now if you ask me. Reading the article made me think, wow, the competitiveness of Singapore has really reached another level as this competiveness complex behaviour has even been passed on to kids even at the age of 8! Hey these kids are getting like on average 6.5 hours of sleep and you know, i know that they deserved their sleep even more! At least i knew in primary school i had my full 8 hours sleep. Reasons such as tution, CCA and homework were given when asked why they slept so late.


But you know sometimes kids, they can make choices. And those who slept late to do other unnecessary stuff like playing games, tv and i don't know what primary school kids play these days... They brought it upon themselves for lacking sleep. But i hope schools can really give kids some slack , i mean 7-12 years old deserve to be running around enjoying childhood and not have a 7am to 7pm day.

You all must be wondering why i suddenly talk about such issues. Hmmm partly becos i have contracted sore eyes. YEAH YOU HEARD ME --- SORE EYES!! So i have gone to see my boyfriend MR Doctor and the solution he gave me for my Red eyes is this :

My eyes drops solution that cost 7 BUCKS for this 5 ml!!


haha ok. I have to rest now. And i hate missing school because exams are already round the corner. but the doctor gave me 2 days mc and said not to come into close contacts with others. So yeah, i am a responsible person and i shall keep this virus in my eyes to myself!

Catch'ya all later!
