Hoho , do drop by Ion Orchard from 12pm - 5pm tomorrow to learn more on this product - garageband :/

This morning Bong & i went to work for the garageband event '09 at orchard as billboard girls. Altogether, it's pretty tiring and it's definitly a chore for our pitiful feets T.T Luckily, the salary is relatively good and that's why we've signed the contract for this project which last for 4 weeks. Oh, did i mention that i bumped into Miss Mildred Chan today? She's really sweet, like ever and that's prolly one of the reasons she's one of my favorite teachers in Sp. She's that kind of teacher-cum-friend teacher hooo*

Anyway, met this swensens distributor in the noon and took a couple of flyers from her. Guess what?!!! Ion Orchard's Swensens' having a 1-FOR-1 ICE CREAM BUFFEt TREAT @ $18.90++ only ! It's really worth it ; considering the fact that swensen's ice creams are to die for, apart from B&J that is :) $18.90 for two, inclusive of those cakes/desserts and ice cream fondues! Who can resist this?? Gosh, i'm dating baby for this buffet tomorrow before we come home & he would have to dye mummy's hair for her. Yay, ice cream buffet !

The ones in my life

(Please do not scroll down if you hate long draggy entries)

Back with updates ! This time round, with my beloved ones :) You know sometimes in life, mishaps happens and certain people will tend to unintentionally/intentionally inflict hurt & pain in you ? It's so horrible that you even lost the courage to carry on living and at this time , the only ones who will stay at you and pull you through are the people that loves and are concerned about you. Personally, i still feel that i have the most wonderful family even without my dad. Ignore those quarrels, throw those foolish arguements away and you will realise that being loved and cared/ cherished (like how my family does), that is happiness. Now i recall, in one of my fbm tutorials, Mr Rsn asked me(us) "who is your role model" and i said "my mum". Til now, i still insist that she is my only role model and i have many reasons to say that.

Let's say you have a perfect family of 6 with 4 children aged 3, 9, 14 and 15 years respectively. This fateful day, your spouse; the breadwinner and the person that you are so dependent on - forgotten to offer his prayers- the usual routine* and left for work. In the noon as usual, you were doing housework and you received a call . It was the hospital. He met with an accident with his motorbike. Suddenly, the world seems like it's falling apart and everything else came crashing down on you. You're so used to being a housewife and yet now, you need to take up the role of the breadwinner and support your 4 kids who weren't even adolescents then. What will you do if this happens to you?

Well, i strongly believe that most girls would spend their days grieving how hard life is and longing for his return (unless your surname is Bong haha!) which wouldn't help at all because apart from sinking deeper into your sorrows, you're still not getting anywhere near improving the situation.

But my mum, being such a strong-headed lady and (my) wonder-woman ; she started out as a stall tender and then as time goes by, she improvised and put her marvellous cooking skills to test -- she took up the role of a school canteen vendor. Eversince then, life has been a nightmare and she had to wake up wee hours and endure sleepless nights. Life is even worse now with the rising electricity bills and insurance expenses and tons of loans and expenses to repay. However, this fine lady is still striving hard for this family ( i'm still learning to be as strong as her; as brave as the wind and conquer all obstacles like her though) and she is none other than my role model mummy! This photo was taken on her birthday 2009 , january :)

I truly love them despite all the miffs we had , they are really loved by me :)

Then occassionally in life , it's always nice to just have someone by your side who would (may) be with you when you need them.

And that would be this vainpot over here :) He's my boyfriend if you haven't realise :/ Apart from all these, occassionally there are times when i just feel like breaking down / unbroken because of -- and my lovely friends will be with me either physically or morally. Thus i would be happy to show my appreciation to them here & i do hope they get to see this. They are ( in no order of importance , anyway blogger arrange the sequence for these pics ! )

Jill ! This 'studies motivator' the one who is just as emotional as i am, but never fail to comfort me and listen to my sorrows all the time - even in projects i'll just throw her all those english stuff and she'll be glad to answer. (Although there are times i stroke at the wrong time and she brushed me off in annoyance =-" )
Jill!

Sheila! Fides! Daphni! Sheila & Fides have been my school clique since i was secondary two. They have seen me mature into a fine lady and switched so many boyfriends (haha! ) ~ Anyway, i can vividly recall those days when we pop over to Fides' house after school and sometimes, her mum would cook delicious spaghetti for us ! Over there, Sheila Fides Dionis (sometimes Xueqi) and i would catch all the dance movies and party / dance at her home , which was extremely fun !

Fides is an ultra duper uber kawaii lady! She's adorable and nothing but just simply adorable! Especially with that happy-go-lucky personality of hers. Anyway, i remember sharing all sorts of secrets with her and she kept totally mum about it -- shes' really one of my best friends that i will always trust in my life. A jovial sweet little lady ~

Daphni! Sweetie girlfriend of mine! She never fails to pick up her phone whenever i need her (except in exams, obviously) Her whole family are filled with nice people, and her auntie has really fabulous culinary skills ! Honestly, hanging out with her is the best man! She's always teasing me but i know she loves me deep down haha:) She'd been the one i bothered with all the maths alienic questions and she would kindly teach me in details. We used to be strangers from different class and it's our surnames that brought us together! We sat together in parade square and we were always busy observing the ants and attacking them together ! :DDDDD

Bong ! Yuting :) A very independent young lady whom i borrowed her shoulders like a handful times? She's always listening to my problems/ troubles and together with jill, encourage and analyse situations for me :D Occassionally, introduce jobs to me yay :)

Xueqi ! She used to be nicknamed a 'cat' simply because she looked like one but now that she's 18, i guess she'd walked out of that nickname already :D She's the soft-spoken/hearted one in my clique and we have been extremely worried about her - in terms of relationship wise. She was a competitive young lady and she's brillant in her Maths(A) laaa~ She's a good gossiper and really cute pal :)

Dionis ! When i was secondary two, we had a really massive arguement and during that point, i would see sheila and xueqi trapped between the two of us. I'd never thought that we would even speak again but still, she's someone you would love to hangout with -with her good sense of humour. She've been a good sister, accompanied me when i needed to and immediately contacted me when she heard that i had a tiff with my boyfriend. She's pretty and she's always getting us friendship tokens merely because she cherish this friendship. She's single by the way so guyssss, don't miss this rare golden chance :D

Sheila! She's a sweet looking lady who've been an extremely good listener, very interested in baking and she's been very lovely - doesn't throw her tantrums around, wouldn't get mad at anyone (unless rarely) and we used to drop by her house for horror movies too! The old house she stayed in has this really huge mirror which we all love, being the nature of vainpots. haha! She would deliver bubble tea to us most of the times heeee~ and we would have swimming sessions in her condo.

Liming! Another vainpot as mentioned, he'd really matured into a gentlemen la~ He'd been the one switching girlfriends and the one who'd paid for our maggie mees/ingredients but asked dionis and me to cook for him - the tomato omelette was yummy~ We used to pop over to his house frequently and catch horror films as well. Then in his house, we'd exchanged secrets and poured all sorrows out -- with him seated at the big window frame beside his bed. His mummy made us drinks in school :)

Look at this picture! Need i say more? Haha, the moment Daphni and i found out that they're an item; i was like "finallyyyy.." Jasper have been a jovial and humorous friend ; sometimes we would visit his house with the 2 dogs -lucy and what's the other? These 2 dogs are really active laaa. Anyway, jasper is a pretty low level gaming addict too!

Weeliang! He'd been my gym partner for 2 years! you know last time school was so bored that we even edited our pictures with romantic love poems just to confuse our friends that we were together -- in fact we weren't! But we'd been really really great pals :) He's very dilligent and kind and fun to gossip with! He's like a good guy friend every girl would have.

That's all for today! Just want to tell all you people mentioned in this entry that i would love to keep you all in my heart as my good friends/sisters/pals/buddies forever. Although we may be in different schools and we have different paths to take, eventually i still believe that i will never forget you and i hope you do as well :) Ganbatte for everything you will be doing/are doing and sorry if i'd neglected you alrights? I just hope to meet out / shopping/ chill out / k box with you all real soon, real soon you know??!!

*muacks bye! *

Craving for heels T.T

That day (Wednesday) i went Bugis for some reasons and as i waited, i shopped around Bugis street. Usually i don't shop bugis street despite having walked past it several times and apparently, this time i was bored so i shopped a lil bit for shoes (heels). Then i came across this pretty little pair of 5.5 inch- white gladiator heels which allured me deeply. It's really pretty pretty and it fits my feet perfectly. I ALMOST bought it if not for the exorbitant price ; so it costs $50 bucks for a pair of heels which wouldn't last me long & in a place like bugis street? Not that i'm a suck-up spoilt brat who ostracizes Bugis street but over the years, Bugis street have left me an impression that it's a pretty good place to source for budget $10 items which wouldn't last (at least not with me) so naturally , i didn't buy the heels. I would go to Bugis street to buy items like boots ( theres' this shop at level 2 which retails really gorgeous looking boots ) but i wouldn't go there for heels - somehow the ones i bought didn't last me for 2 months. So yea. i spotted this pair of heels which resemble that one that piqued my interest at urbanorg. I am planning to get this one. Look, pretty isn't it?

This gold babe is looking good, too!
This Rapunzel-like wedge is totally 'in' this season, it's reallyreally easy to match with sun dresses/skirts.
Somehow, this weird looking colour combination attracted me and i love how it gives me a 'simple' feeling - it's very me.

Okay, a lil tenny bit mature babe which i don't mind having la.

And me really love this design - it's stylish and full of 'attitude' i like~ love it :D It's an alternative to the gold babe above :)

This 'bandage' heels definitely looks better that those short wedge kind you see around the streets. Even the heels are so nicely - stilettos shapped
This is one of my all-time favourite ; have been eyeing it for eons! The shoes urban original have are really gorgeous looking and they are pretty affordable. Do you buy charles & Keith, if you do then this is definitely a wiser alternative in my opinion :) Shop over here If anyone one of you are keen on purchasing, pm me alrights ! Or email me @ Sparkling_Sparkles@live.com.sg so we can bulk order together :)

P/s Any kind souls wanna buy me heels ?

Yay! Baby lucky is back!!! :D

Over the moon

As the title suggests, i'm over the moon currently!

Sarah's extremely relieved that all projects are cleared finally! Also, bottoms up to my bravo teammates because we've successfully secured a 'High A' for our IHRO project !! Yay~ A very sincere 'thanks' to my teammates for all the huge efforts we've put in! Aren't you happy to hear that all our hard work has been paid off ??
Like Ihro & both Ttp presentations we've managed to earn pretty excellent positive comments, Rwps was generally alright & Fbm was the only project which our tutor didn't seem pleased at all T.T Nonetheless, personally i feel that we've already put in our utmost humongous efforts for all our projects thus we definitely deserve each of the mark that will be shown in our end of sem results slip ! For the 'high scorer' ones, we should really cheers & celebrate ! and as for the others, we should learn to move on from 'last minute' work & continue striving harder for the following semesters!

Although projects are officially over, i'm still suffering it's a rat race. ):
Right now, i'm suffering from lack of sleep and poor me has an exam tomorrow. Gems exam. Aww, i don't sympathise with my gems teacher at all because she's making things difficult for us. Like, don't you know we are having other MORE SIGNIFICANT exams in a week's time? Can't you like give us an OPEN BOOK exam instead? At the end of the day, Gems is still Gems. We get no where from gems. It's just an EXTRA module that we are FORCED to take in a purpose to 'decorate' our results slip fancifully. Take my previous gems teacher for example, she's such a nice lady and she gave us OPEN BOOK exam. Apart from that, she RELEASED us EARLY almost for all classes and tabulated our final grade based on our TUTORIAL PAPERS. NO memorising, NO translating, NO stress. Seriously, if my current gems teacher were to do that, i will sincerely appreciate it & thank her to the maxxxxx.

Anyway, It's Wednesday & i haven't study for my ACCOUNTINGS exam which will be in next TUESDAY. Bravo. LESS THAN A WEEK TO STUDY, Tons of FORMATS to remember , many FORMULAES to remember & pretty much of DRY theories to MEMORISE. Die die die. Look at how i will die from this race.

Sighs * Me wanna have my beauty sleep & do facial mask ! Sighs. I'm still deciding on my outfit for tomorrow. Hmm, i want to wear a dress - should i wear this?
Aiya, i'm the one in brown if you haven't realise hur = -" Should i should i? Hmmss.. I want to wear something to impress my sweetheart yet i don't wanna overdo it. what do you think? I wish i own a fashion boutique or something right now. I'm pretty excited for days now as i will be meeting him tomorrow, like finally after 5 days? hurhur! I hope his hand would be better already, which i doubt so since he just told me that his hands are torturing him he couldn't even sleep the last night. Sigh, poor little baby, wish i could do something to help. Sigh*

Anyway, i'm rather crestfallen today. Something major happened today. Like so major i cried for a total of 5times in the shower? Baby lucky's been fetched home by the 'next owner of him' so yea, miss him alot a lot. All the while in this house, he'd been my joy & my good friend a strong listener. He's so adorable & handsome i'm so in love with him. Sigh, i'm secretly hoping that he will annoy the new owner and she will send him back to us ! I wish so. ): Look at this handsome baby:

He will jump around in joy the moment we reach home each and every single day w/o fail*

Not emphasising on my sisters' action. But don't you think he's really cute? Whenever i bring him for strolls, he will attract a lot of female dogs(bitches) who would make noises just to get near him & kiss him *


And he will jump all the way up to our beds in early mornings to wake us up! He would secretly sneak out of his cage just to sleep with us. Aww. don't you think he's very adorable and sweet? He's like the greatest friend i've ever had, apart from human beings la duh.


Okay, i'm going off now bye! P/s. Whining to friends on how DTRM students are suffering. Hurhur~

Randomly pissed.

Made a small giftie for Ms Chen - tomorrow's IHRO presentation. Can you guess what is it??

Feeling pretty random right now. I'm definitely pissed off at some you-know-what reasons & i just feel like throwing my bears now. I hope tomorrow's presentation workshop would be fine and i wish i wasn't as in love. How do i get out of it you tell me? It's not easy, it's a whole bunch of shit thing. Also, i'm desperately seeking for a high-salaried job right now it's disgusting how difficult it is to secure one. In conclusion, i'm flaring mad right now so if you're any smarter you would know better than annoying me at this moment.

Presenting to you my little baby kiki! He's the joy of my family !

Nothing is as sweet as you ( :

You're such a sweetheart boy, fancy a candy or two ?

My alarm clock rang at 5.5- am this morning but i didn't get out of bed. At 6.15, i tried to climb out of my bed but dearest hubby hugged me and pulled me back, saying "No, stay with me for a while". Being miserably tired, i went back to sleep with him in my arms. Then, I worked up at 6.37 this morning and i started to panic. It's a presentation day and i thought i am either gonna be extremely late for my class or risk not being able to submit my 15 pages report. Having thought so, i literally jumped out of my bed and prepared for my presentation. First, i proceeded to the lab room to print my report out - it was so annoying how the printer/ms word failed me & i became paranoid at the thought of a screwed up report. Good enough, i didn't mess it up and managed to print the report out - but in b/w. I didn't care less & i didn't bother anymore - projects and reports are really getting on my nerves. Let's just hope that my 3 days of long hours doing the 15 pages report will be worth the result. :)

After the presentation i went directly home - i was that tired.
One last project presentation and that's it. Next week's a revision week but it still seem like a normal school curriculum for us T.T :

Monday : B Law 10am to 12pm , staying back to have a project discussion
Tuesday : IHRO presentation 11 to 1pm; Wine Appreciation Workshop 1.30pm to 5pm
Wednesday : B Law 11am to 1pm ; Gems exam 1pm to 2.30pm ; TTP walkasutra 3pm @ Chinatown.
Thursday : FMAH lesson 10am to 12pm
Weekends : High possibility of working - location
Tuesday : FMAH Exam 50% 4pm to 6.10pm (25th Aug)
Tuesday : B Law Exam 9am to 11.10pm (1th Sep)

On a happier tone, luckily most of our modules are based on projects which we have already rushed and came up with. There's only 2 examinable modules this semester but both are hardcore modules - i need & Must do well for FMAH as i really like my accountings teacher. As for BLaw - i need & Must memorise all the Law Acts and Implied Terms in order to score, wise studying is the antidote for my grades.

After examinations, it spells holidays! Hooray~ I was just informed that Mr Rsn has a job offer to us and it's banqueting & long hours but the salary is truly attractive - Imagine making $500 in 3 days?! I wish to get in i don't mind long hours as long as i will be paid :* Job offers job offers job offers job offers anyone? Me me me me me so so so looking for a job to hold in the holidays - me want earn at least $1000 for that month. ><>hubby- he's such a sweetheart he accompanied me these few days and took care of me well. Looking at his hands & fingers really hurts my heart deep down. It's all swollen & cut & there are blisters due to the chemicals and tools his handled while working - salon. He's been getting sleepless nights and he even had to wrap his hands up with plastic gloves to pretend baterias from infecting his wound. Really poor baby, seeing him in pain really kkillls me inside. Despite all this pain, he's still coming up tonight to pass me money. Loves him aplenty. This innocent and adorable sweetheart of mine.

P/s. My pet dog is moving house tonight , teary.

Good Night Sweets!
Aww, it's 12am in the morning and here i am - nonchalant about my projects and assignments, surfing net, online window shopping and watching korean horror film. Speaking of horror film, personally i still feel Japan & Thailand makes the best horror films ever. Korean films are draggy and dark and it's like if you skip 5minutes of just one tiny part of the movie, you will lose track of the storyline. I just watch 'double sucide' which was pretty alright and the 'hard to understand' ones will be something like 'the red shoes' ? If you really wanna watch korean horror films, trust me, watch 'salt village' otherwise known as 'ah-niang' , 'phone' or 'oujia board'. Japan horror films are pretty recommendable; films like '9.63', 'dark water', 'one missed call' etc are great :) I really don't like 'three', that movie i'd try to watch it twice and both times, i caught no ball at all. Well, maybe it's just me? But seriously, the starting already turned me off. It's not like i don't expect it but hellloooo, it's something like the 'lady' digging her brain out from her head? With blood oozing out and then within 2 seconds, all the brain organs started to fall off. It's gruesome and totally sick. Kekes.
I'm full of grumbles nowadays. That day, i showed my sister the website that Jill, Yuting and i were carefully and attentively surfing in school because we need to buy heels. Initially, she just brushed me away but half an hour later "eh girl, look at this! Nice hor?? How much is it inclusive of shipment bla bla..?" I was like "Awwwww.. " then started explaining. Yay, now that sissie wants to buy 2 pairs of heels too, all of us can combine orders when we are erm, well-to-do enough to buy them? I really love those heels , it's like you can never find them in Singapore laaaaaa ` moolahs come come! T.T Anyway, i'm not going to paste the url here sad for you :/ If you're keen in any way, please feel free to drop me an email/text ;*
Tomorrow's gonna be a long day again - blaw blaw blaw blaw; i've yet to complete the tutorial i think Fong's gonna be so mad if he realise i haven't been doing my tutorials. - No wonder he doesn't call my name in class for answers, he knew it deep down! kekes. Yesterday, i went to Giant and bought groceries back home; it burnt $35 of my pocket away T.T Back home, i made 'wintermelon soup', 'Ginseng Soup', 'cha siew' and stir fried some simple veggie dish - for my whole family! Now i feel so proud of myself -lol- mummy have always complimented that i've a great talent in cooking and she never fails to 'sicko' me to take on baking, cooking lessons blabla. However, i've been to none because i'll rather attend dance lessons than baking lessons. >< Baby came yesterday too and he was so excited he finished everything that i've made. I was very proud of him, big appetite yet small skinny body - he's damn cute :* - 'cus whenever i look at myself i feel so sad. Awwwwww, my track shoes are getting dusty. Anyway, everyone in my family was supportive and mummy told me my cooking skills have improved tremendously ! I was grining from ear to ear upon hearing that. Baby's happy too, because usually his mummy doesnt' cook thus he is more towards the unhealthy side with all the McSpicy he ate so yesterday, he drank 2 big bowls of ginseng soup and this morning he drank one bowl + one packed bowl to his workplace. Awww, aint he lucky he's got me? Hooohooo~ Wednesday/Thursday i will be cooking thai green curry for my family - i'm so craving for it !

Back to school, Blaw report + Ihro report to submit tomorrow
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that everything will be arranged smoothly tomorrow - no late penalty deduction whatsoever. Now it's time i head for my bed.
byebye~!

2 Exams :
Fmah - 25th August 2009

Dying.... T.T

Walkasutra down, Fbm down

I love my pet dog :) Kiikii * Cute? :D
Last wednesday, my group led our classmates and teacher around Orchard Road in our tour "The battle of the 5 Kingdoms" ' We met up pretty early that day for one last recee which we are glad we did, as it was effective :) Due to that, we were able to realise that the traffic light between Ion and Wheelock were closed and the only way through was by using the underpass. It was rather scary initially when i started leading the 'tourists', but after a while it was pretty fun! :D The comments that chiie wee gave us really made our day * It's like all our hard work & efforts have been paid off :)

Thursday, we transformed our classroom's meeting room into our restaurant. It was really enjoyable climbing high and low like a madwoman sticking balloons :) However, Rsn didn't seem pleased at all. It's either he expected it or other classes have already done it. Sian T.T

This weekend i have tons of things to do ): IHRO, RWPS, BLAW - my brain is really malfunctioning soon ~ Thinking about all those things i have to complete, i suddenly feel like a wonder woman. X) 3 more reports to be handed in - IHRO,BLAW due on tuesday; RWPS due on friday ; 2 more presentations - RWPS on friday,14th & IHRO on 18th ; then wine appreciation.

Now you tell me, WHO SAID POLY IS SLACK?? :/

On a random note, i really need to buy heels & Wedges. From urban org ); Wish i have moolahs~ Work harder, Sarah! :D

Bye people!
