today+yuxian (aka shirlyn)+ cupcakes!


stayed at home once again to recover from the nasty virus and i'm feeling much much better right now. the doctor said that if I had plenty of rest, getting well by friday won't be a problem YIPPEE! :D

so at 2.15pm when i was feeling the effects of the cough syrup which makes me sleep and gives me this floating feeling (HIGH), yuxian decides to pon school yet again to come over to bake cupcakes!

went to get simple ingredients ard the neighbourhood as we were too lazy to go too far and yuxian is so auntie pls. she said the icing sugar at the ma ma shop is 10 cents cheaper than the other one. HAHAHA don't kill me

we used the basic vanilla cupcake recipe from cupcakerecipes.com and got the icing from some other site. It looks so pretty by the way, pink frosting and all. Jiamin wld love this :)

alright, i'm feeling floaty now, so let the photos take over









just by looking at them, I feel happy already :D
and i'm happier that the frosting can harden after putting them in the fridge

'here's proof that we made them


i look sickly and sleepy. yawn
mok u're right, I'm feeling super domestic now
haha. bai.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CARYN!
yup, U're in the big 2 club, no doubt about it haha
Cheers to another year of me =D, school, happypeopleco and partying
You've got to stop shopping now as it's officially ONE YEAR to chanel 2.55
we'll be shopping buds for life :)



so after 3 days of ushering at F1, i'm left really ill
puffy half-open eyes, red nose and a sore throat that keeps getting worse with my incessant coughing which in turn cause me to have headache

it was quite an exciting night yday at the grandstands as everyone will stand up whenever the engine sounds was near, but being a F1 amateur, I seriously don't know what were they looking for when the cars just zoomed past and I couldn't even make out what car was that.
the engine sounds were what was described as "delicious" but i cldn't keep my excitement up as i felt the effects of the virus in me. I was already sniffing away and even a $10 hotdog from raffles hotel cldn't perk me up
as some know, food always makes me happy

sigh. It's the 29th already meaning school starts in 2 weeks. gosh why does good times have to fly by so quickly, I haven't mastered skating yet and I haven't started on wakeboarding. by the time i get back from thailand, it'll be the 6th and then KL from 7-9th oct and then we're back to studying

for now, I just have to think of getting well before friday. I have to. no more cancelled trips this year

i realised i haven't blogged about my birthday and it's a long wait for photobucket to upload 25 photos out of the pile of extremely natural candid shots taken by joce's DSR so here goes

i love the jack-in-the-box they made me :) i'm touched really,u guys cld have done anything else, but u chose to make time to make me this :) i love you!

after picnic, we went to dempseys for B&J's where joce caused tricia to flout the rules by driving in the wrong direction
the Siamese drummers says, "we're the up and coming" .
Photobucket

i still can't believe we sat together during orientation
Photobucket

SU wants to be a MERMAID
Photobucket

we tried the mahshimin's face but it went terribly wrong. Just look at the 3 of us in front pls.
Photobucket

Photobucket

after dempseys, the rest went home from city hall and it was dinner with vincboy :)
He wanted to bring me to someplace via the CTE(AYE) but I couldn't find where is it so we settled for Manhattan's fish market
he gave me this locket with our photos inside and a bottle full of stars and light-sticks to make it glow
no wonder the silly boy kept saying he needed to buy something every single night before my birthday.

it's funny how we quarreled over parking, directions and $1.26 cashcard value and then later, a 50 bucks parking summon

so it all sums up 5th and 6th sept
with friends and boyfriend such as these, wad else can anyone ask for at the age of twenty?

haha. a classic noel sky of cos

the hols aren't exciting in any way so far
it turned out to be exactly the opposite to wad everyone had planned
it was supposed to be a blast, i even told vincent to be prepared for havoc-ness
but in the end, not only did i not go clubbing more than once, bali, phuket and bangkok got cancelled and i have to go back to school for the CPR course. grr. wad a disappointment

finally met up with xian last night with su at starbucks
and one thing she said struck me
she told me that i should try new stuff to make my life more colourful, but why is it always tiring to try new stuff? like the getting down to it is already tiring

today's cpr exam is all God's grace that i made it through smoothly, it wasn't how i expected it to be and I'm really glad it's all over and my whole class passed! all for one and one for all man
batam planning is on the way guys! we have to go somewhere!
and dearest jm, i really hope that u can come :)

after going for lunch, i took a train all the way to far-far-away yew tee to hang out at joce's place and we baked cookies and made jelly! then watched this french movie about choir boys and there's this boy who sings really really well. I now understand how singing can actually make a person cry just by listening.. his voice touches the heart but i've got no idea wad's the title of the movie

alright i gtg, my astig's getting worse by the minute

how is it that i feel this way

so here i am, munching on cedele's carrot cake and feeling less horrible about my holiday in thailand than i did last night

1 lesson i've learnt is to stay away from airasia, stay far far away
because they have a crappy policy that only protects themselves and there's not a care at all about the customer's interests
Nobody knows anything for sure about what's gonna happen in thailand
all people can do is to try to cancel it for fear of anything's that's going to happen

but airasia's policy is NO REFUND (at all even if they themselves cancel the flight) and they only offer a postpone if I were to cancel the flight
fair enough, I try postponing to October and they asked me to top up another 300 plus dollars for what i assume is that for budget, different day different price

my mom thinks that's ridiculous cos the riot has nothing to do with us anyway so why shud we be forced to postpone and then get penalised by paying 300 bucks?

if they were to cancel the flight cos of airport closure etc, we still can't get a refund but only get our money put into their "account system" which allows u to use it to claim other flights but the money is allowed in there till a certain period of time to claim

i tried to cancel my singapore to phuket then phuket to bangkok flight and replace it with direct flight to bangkok, it's not allowed

I tried to change destination, it's not allowed

I called airasia thrice this morning and for each time I called, I'm put on hold with the annoying music for 30 mins. Twice the person pick up and i had to keep shouting "hello hello HELLO?" cos the person could not hear me and said I was cracking. The 3rd time, finally I got through after an entire morning of calling

U can't speak to the manager cos apparently there's NO manager around to talk to in singapore. To speak with the manager, the person ask me to call MALAYSIA directly. Insanity or what? Pay overseas charges while being put on hold for 30 mins?

oh yea, even if u wanted to change destination if they miraculously offer u a change, airasia only fly to Kuala Lumpur, Pekanbaru (first time i've ever heard of this place), Bangkok and Phuket.

aren't they amazing? Amazingly full of crap

so this is how they earn money huh? by having such a dumb policy where as long as money is with them, there's no way out unless u just forgo the money which is exactly what I intend to do

there is a difference in service attitude between established airlines and budget airline. Silkair gave my mom and sis a full refund with no questions asked cos they understand the situation and were prepared to make losses for unforseen circumstances

even for jetstar asia, they offered hotel rooms to tourists stranded cos of the phuket airport closure. When asked what could airasia offer since they insist on flying? Nothing. not even a bus to bring tourists to bangkok for a flight back

they whole day only thinking of not losing money
only fly with them if u guarantee that nothing will happen
