-*- Specially from Amsterdam
Am in Amsterdam!!Free internet, so I can blog all I want! But I shall keep it short!
Loving the trip TOTALLY! Having lotsa fun with everybody! Made some new friends and everything.. Loving this two noisy girls in the group!!! And this Indonesian couple too!! Shall post pictures when I get home!
No more use for German! Grrr.. Left Germany (Cologne) last night.. Am came to Amsterdam! Staying in FANTASTIC HOTEL! Sofitel Amsterdam, something like that...
It's like 9:44PM here now, and it's still bright outside! Super amazing right!!!
Anyway, am having lotsa fun here! Raining everyday, but loving the weather! VEry comfy.. Don't have to sweat and everything, like in Singapore.. Bah!
Bought quite a few things. For Me, Vin and general public (i.e Friends!)! But all very tiny things.. Not anything especially impressive..
Been sending myself postcards, from all the different countries that I have been, but don't know if I will ever get them all! Haha so far I have sent from Venice-Italy, Innsbruck-Austria, Liechtenstein, Mount Titlis-Switzerland, and Volendam-Holland. Sadly, I missed out Germany, because we totally didn't have time to do anything at all! Grr.
But never mind, I got many things from Cologne! Like my HRC Bear!! Yay! Happeeeee~
Going Belgium tomorrow morning, then VERY quickly, to PAris!!! PARIS!!! SO EXCITIN!!!! Staying there for TWO NIGHTS! In a Sofitel too!! So maybe tomorrow I can come online to chat too! Yepz, am chatting with Vin now! He waited up just for me! SWEEEET!
Haiz. I miss him so.
I miss Singapore, My computer, my friends, KTV, And everything and everything!!
But yet, I can't say I'm excited at all that I'm leaving Europe.. Despite the expensive toilet visits (yes, 50 cents Euro per trip, that's a dollar SGD. There was a 1 Euro one, in Venice), and the Lousy attitudes of the service staff in Many MAny MANY places, I like the area a lot, what with its culture and all the different architecture and history and legends, myths and stories and everything and everything. REALLY been a great trip. Haiz. I don't wanna go, and yet, I wanna go home to be with Vin my dearest.. How I wish he was here.. If he was here, I wouldn't care much about going back to Singapore. I don't mind not having everything I have in Singapore, to be here with him, and my entire family. But really, I'm enjoying myself so much, the only thing lacking here is Vin. Haiz.
I don't wanna leave, But I miss Vin so much. Haiz.

-*- I will miss you...
So there goes Cefiro. The car that I have grown deeply attached to.
Daddy sold it.. *sobz*
And to a cunning scheming man who looks like olden-times Merchant who cheats people of money... I dislike him, I really do. He has the look that says "Punch me, or else." And I really want to give in to temptation and really give him a good hard punch (cept that my punches will be neither good nor hard. :P).
Anyway, haiz yupz, it's officially not my dad's car anymore, hence not "my car".. My CEFIRO!!! I WILL MISS YOU!!! -sobz-
The thing about Cefiro is that it's the pweettiest car that we have (currently, that is).. Lancer is sporty and young, but Cefiro is definitely much grander looking, and definitely more elegant looking. And we keep it in good condition la. Despite having crashed a few times (ALL by my sister), it always manages to look tip-top after the (expensive) repairs.
Haiz! Bye Bye Cefie.... -sob-

-*- My room is a time-zapping machine.
IT'S TRUE!! I SWEAR!!!Everytime I enter the room, time is lost. I sit down in front of the computer for what seems like only 5 minutes and WHAM! it's 5 in the morning. Sometimes 6, sometimes 4.. But always 5 minutes to me.
BUT at the same time, the room has amazing energy-replenishing effect!!
Once again, IT'S TRUE! I SWEAR!!!
I would have a long day, and perhaps may have already fallen asleep and gotten super groggy and sleepy on the sofa. And I would slowly climb the stupid stairs up and go into my room. And I sit down in front of the computer, AND ALL MY ENERGY IS REPLENISHED! And before I know it, I'm being scolded (by assorted people) for staying up so late everyday....
My room is an amazing place, I'm serious.
On a totally different topic..
I LOVE LOVE LOVE MY ZEE 2!!!!!
It takes amazing photos!!!
Like the ones I took when I went to the zoo...
Some photowhoring first......
Yupz, there were Me Vin Thomthom and Oyce.
And now.. The Animals!! (in no particular order)
The Cutest thing we saw: A STONING PENGUIN!!
He's just stoning there, we suspect, right under the aircon.
Still STONING....
And my favourite animal: White Tigers...
My fave shot in the entire day...
Aren't they all so pretty? The animals, especially the white tigers, AND the photos..
The white tiger is a VERY beautiful animal. Rare of the rarest. Here's a little tidbit: White tigers are actually an anomaly. The unusual white coloration is a result of a gene mutation..
MUTATED GENE, but yet so beautiful. Isn't the animal kingdom amazing?
ANyway, I love the zoo!! Though it is quite small and has not-enough variety, it's very good already.. I especially lurve the Fragile Forest, where we can actually go into this dome, and really have the animals really just around us.. Very close to them.. That's where a butterfly kept coming back to my hand to rest. Just one particular one. Took a picture of it with my mobile, so it's lousy quality..
AINT IT COOL!!!
Haiz anyway, see what I mean? FIVE minutes, and it's 4AM in the morning.. Grrrrr.
And I still haven't gotten to the part where I get all excited that I went KTV THRICE last week. Monday, Thursday AND Saturday. I'm Horrid.
AND AND AND!!!
I have yet to come to the part when I'm supposed to get EVEN MORE excited about my EUROPE TRIP!!!!!!!!! EUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPE!!!
Countdown: TWO DAYS!!!!
Damn. Don't think I can blog anymore, shouldn't have spent so much time uploading the pictures.
BUT I lurve all the pictures! So ALL is worth it! ;)

-*- My expensive buy of the Year: Zee No. 2!!!
Just back from Sim Lim Square!!! So EXCITED!!! I JUST BOUGHT MY EXPENSIVE BUY OF THE YEAR!!! Whooooohooo!!!!It's sleek, it's pretty, it's sexy, it's TOTALLY NEAT!!!!
It's............
A DIGICAM!!! WHooohooo!!!! NEEEEEAT!!!
Ain't it a beauty?? Pweeettty!!! SLeeeeeeeeeeek MAX!!!
It's a (sorry for the super-overused word) SLEEK digital camera.. Fuji Finepiz Z2! Zeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Two! ;) Zee No.2!!! Heehee!!
Omg omg omg omg!! I'm so excited!!!
A proper picture has not been taken with this camera, but it is definitely to up my expectations! Its features include:
- Super CCD HR sensor delivering 5.1 million effective pixels
- Non-extending refractive optical zoom lens with 3x optical zoom
- Sensitivity range of ISO 64-1600 for low-noise photography in all conditions
- Wraparound, glossy shell-design body, with sliding power-on function
- High resolution 2.5 inch LCD screen with reinforced, scratch-resistant glass
- Continuous shooting mode for action photography
- TV-quality VGA movie recording of 30 frames per second with sound
- PictBridge™ compatible for direct printing without a PC
But basically, what I can understand is that:
- It is a 5.1 megapixels
- and a 2.5" LCD Monitor
- SUPER HIGH Light Sensitivity (err, the professional term is ISO, I think..) of 1600, compared to a common 400 in many other cameras..
- It has a SLIDING COVER that functions as a power-on!!!!
- IT'S SLIM AND CHIC!!! Whoooohooo~!!
So anyway, some models I had aimed were:
the cutesy and VERY VIBRANT Canon IXUS i zoom:
and the VERY VERY SEXY Nikon COOLPIX S5:
Both very appealing and very very suitable for me.. Of course, I was looking at the aesthetic value of the cameras! Heh.. And I was gonna buy the RED one!!
I know, both ARE sexier than the one I bought.. But damn, mine is definitely sleeeeeeeekier than the two! In case you can't see, the front is a SLIDE COVER!!! SLIDE LEH!! *SHoooooooooooooooooooooooooP!* Damn cool! Sweeeet!
And of course, the functions are really better la.. Like the high sensitivity thing? Okay I'll briefly explain. Basically, there is such a thing called Colour Temperature... And most cameras can capture this certain amount of light (including in the background).. And the range is up to 400 for most cameras, apparently... But for MY CAMERA, the range is up to 1600... I don't know if that is very significant to photographers, but what the hell man, it sounds like FOUR TIMES BETTER to me!!! Hahahah.. And ya, the pictures DO look nicer and clearer and sharper.. And that is why I'm willing to give up the VIBRANT AND SEXY colours...
Never mind that I am $500++ poorer, I love this camera!! And I'm gonna love it even more when I take many many many happy pictures with it!! I'm so gonna bring it EVERYWHERE I GO!!!
TOMORROW shall be the DAY!!! THe official Launch of MY ZEE NO.2!!! WHOOOOOHOOOOO!!! I WURVE ZEE NO.2!!!
CAN'T WAIT!!!
(To be continued.....)

-*- UNdergrad to UNemployed. Bah!
So the final year student has finally finished her final paper on April 27, 2006. She has finally gone from being an UNdergrad to an UNemployed.It's a saddening news, really. NO silver lining there for me.. Hmm, perhaps the money that I'll earn, hopefully? BUt that would be IF and WHEN I do get a *whisper* J-O-B. BAH!
So before I do get a j**, I shall remain depressed about graduating...
Sad things aside, as I mentioned, my exams are officially over.. The past week had been extremely hectic for me. I started my studying officially only after I handed in my final project, like on April 19... And I had like, 5 days? After the 5 days, it was consecutively FOUR days of papers... Haiz...
But since I have survived this period of hardship, I would like to thank Lay and Nara.. They've been great company - studying, in the car, or just stoning after papers. And also, not forgetting YY-女神 - she who blessed us with the 爱心洋参须蜂蜜!
In this period, I have neglected many people.. My family mostly.. And DEFINITELY my dearest, Vin Vin Fu! Yes, despite the fact that you seemed totally fine with neglecting me during your exams period (BLEH!), I am very sorry for neglecting you during MY exams period. Haiz.. So, my sincerest apologies to you, dear!!
Hmm.. By the way, I was forced to make this entry... Christine Chen complained that she hasn't seen me in a "long" time, and asked me what has been going on with my life...
For the record, I just saw her on Friday evening, when I made my special guest appearance at Macs....
Anyway, Just to LEt her know, I've been rotting with Vin..
Thursday: Movie.
Friday: Dinner and VCD.
Saturday: His granny Birthday and My cousin's newborn's first month..
And today, well, didn't meet him (FINALLY heh.).. Because he was mean to me, he left me alone to shop, FOR MY MAID.... Yups, I went shopping with my maid! She's going back to Indonesia during the two weeks that my family is going
Went to FOX Warehouse Sale (!!!)... Actually was quite exciting there! HAhah $3 per item (mostly tops, didn't see any bottoms).. Regardless!!! But sizes limited to smaller sizes... Damn! HAhahah but for my maid, it was all suitable... She bought EIGHT tees! She was so happy after..
Then to City Plaza.. Spent so long there... 2 plus hours!! She bought:
a white skirt
a pair of jeans
a pretty top to match white skirt
a pretty sling bag (which I had wanted to buy the shoulder bag version)
a pair of shoes to match everything
a top each for her brother and her father
2 watches (for her and her sister)
And together with the EIGHT tops she bought at FOX warehouse sale, guess how much she spent? ONLY $170!!!!!!!!! AINT THAT AMAZING!!!!! SO AMAZING!!!!!!!
Haiz.. So that's what I've been up to, Christine.. It's not interesting at all.... Haiz... BUT, be happy that I blogged, just for you....
(Total Time Taken: 30 minutes..)
UNdergrad to UNemployed. Bah! -
