i drink therefore i am.. :) just for fun! the whole idea of such quizzes is to makes us happy and to raise self-esteem... shall we believe?
| How to make a lorraine |
Ingredients:
5 parts friendliness
1 part crazyiness
5 parts beauty |
Method:
Layer ingredientes in a shot glass. Add a little cocktail umbrella and a dash of emotion |
btw, oh man.. France just got kicked out of EURO 2004 after going down to Greece. nil one. and England's out too.. lost to Portugal on penalties.. never expected England to win but France... boohoohoo.. go Czech!! hahahaha.. i know nuttin much abt soccer but watching and hearing stuff here and there, i do have my own gut feelings and preferences.. it's all abt the vibe.. that's for me of cos.. a soccer googoodoll! haha..

guess what... rem my blog all abt pui-ness and erm yuh.. arggh!!! my exercise plus dieting plans must be quickly put into place... i just saw the roll of film that i sent for developing... and oh gosh... i can see the obvious difference with pretty lorraine in february and lorraine in june! haha dammit! everytime it's jus the motion of saying must work out must work out.. but this time maybe i'll really be determined.. haha wonder if i ever mentioned this but i once tot no matter how much i eat, lorraine cant put on much weight.. now.. i realised.. it was because ever since pri sch, lorraine was a busy little girl.. with many many ccas which included sports and she always went for training. haha now.. in uni.. we see the difference.. but not to fear.. i will not be defeated! i am sure with a little control and effort.. all will be the same again! muahahaha...
flag's really bonding.. haha we have soooo many dinner outings.. (now i wonder how does this tie in with my plans..) but it's really fun! and today was my ultimate laughing day.. i just felt like laughing! haha for no rhyme or reason.. okay.. my comm was telling jokes... christina being the best at it.. but even when the joke was over.. i jus felt like laughing out loud!! haha.. maybe i can be a laughing guru one day.. okay... looking forward to flag's "games nite" on monday.. we decided to play a few games tt nite.. for example, pictionary and sharon's fav monopoly..
hmm anyone knows exactly when does the great singapore sale end? i lurrrveee shopping.. but i've been controlling quite a bit.. haha and did anyone know tt zara has a 30 day exchange or refund policy?? not sure of the other shops though.. but i'm glad zara has.. haha on impulse i bought a pair of pants afterwhich i tot it was soooo not worth what i paid.. returned it with receipt and tag in tack and i got a full refund!! *beams* mango sale has begun!!! dread the crowd but you do find bargains at sales!! i'm sure everyone agrees.. one more thing though, it's really quite embarassing if u buy a kinda special unique top and u go out and meet sumone wearing the exact same thingy.. basic tops are ok i guess but if it's unique.. oh man! haha but the trick i guess is also to buy a unique one so chances of tt hapenning is slimmer.. but who knows! point noted, tt still doesnt stop my shopping.. muahaha..
my sis's having a party tmr.. she'll be leaving for perth soon.. really soon.. and as much as i dont seem like i care, i do i do!!! i'm super sure i'll miss her lots.. u know, it's the same when my closer fren left for foreign lands to study.. i didnt feel a thing until at the airport when i sent them off.. and when they have settled overseas.. obviously, they'll be back in singapore now and then.. and i can always visit them.. but.. but.. cant help but feel tt tinge of sadness and loneliness with them not ard.. anyway anyway, i guess tt's all part of the journey..

Went to Pulau Ubin on Monday with EHOC-ers! Even though the dirt, sweat and stickiness got to me, it was sincerely a memorable and enjoyable experience. One thing that surprised me though was the mosquitoes. I did not go there to feed mosquitoes as expected. Haha.. Maybe it was because we were well prepared with all the mosquito fighting equipment!! Insect repellent.. "OFF" being the most common brand. Baygon's mosquito coil. Sharon contributed lots with her mosquito patch and herbal candle. Thanks princess. Hehehe...
Once we reached ubin, we set off for our selected campsite. It was abt a 30 min walk from the jetty. After pitching our tents, we had games installed for us. A total of 5 team bonding games but we ended up playing 4 only. The game that was abandoned was one tt made use of bananas. Our bananas had melted horribly due to the hot weather.. lolx. My fav game was "dog and bone" haha.. hmm why? even though it's a simple common game, it required the physical and mental. I remember making a dive on the charcoal mixed sand to score for my group. Haha.. point here being it was fun! felt a bit like rugby to me and all the more i am interested in playing touch. not being bhb that i scored here okay.. (even though i'm super happy i did..) =)
After games, we had OTOS (Own time own shit) hehe.. most of us walked a little out to buy cold canned soft drinks. They never tasted so good. hehe.. The shop.. also the home of two old men (not sure if they have families) was also like a mini farm with wild boars, cute little ducklings, parrots, peacocks and rabbits. The weird thing was, this place was named "Orchid Garden" but orchids were no where in sight. hehe...
BBQ that evening was a blast. Everything like a normal bbq only more fun. Can't explain it. Perhaps it's the atmosphere created by my lovely fellow EHOC-ers. *BEEEEG smile* We had 4 bbq pits. The pit that i stuck to was sizzling and hilarious. Zhicong, my crappy but "made it more fun" flag vice head, kinda like assigned all those at our bbq pit with posts. I was flipping i/c, Anna was Overall i/c, Mar was crabstick i/c, Zhicong was butter i/c, Sujin was freshfood i/c.. Self explanatory! Our food turnover rate was amazingly high..
OTOS again before night walk (named "a walk to remember"). it was.. hmm... dark! it wasnt tt scary for me due to a few factors: my partner Andrew was v assuring. besides, being the organiser, he had walked the path b4! haha.. plus being the first pair to set off, he had everything with him, a torch being the most impt but we did not switch it on of cos until we reached the end pt. talked all the way there.. talking seriously keeps ur mind from having silly thoughts. i'm quite a scaredy cat! but when i set my mind to be brave.. i guess i am.. brave does not equal not being scared. two separate issues. hehe
Totally exhausting day. No socialising for me after that. All i wanted was to sleep. Not to mention i had a slight headache, the pressing ones. Slept on groundsheet not in tent. the tent was too freaking warm.
Cutting short now! hehe.. I woke up rather early the next day. More games before we left for the "mainland" hehe.. was back in hall by 1pm. Scrubbed myself clean and knocked out!
That's the end of the trip! Pictures would be nice but i have to resize and upload! Maybe in a few days.. haha.. oh ya! EHOC stands for Eusoff Hall Orientation Committee. I never regretted joining EHOC. Not because of this trip, but the whole experience (and ongoing) is highly rewarding in more ways than one! Maybe i'll elaborate on this next time.. Maybe maybe.. Argh! Procrastination..

browsing thru the designer of this layout's blog.. gosh.. these ppl are so young.. she's only 15 this year.. hmm.. firstly, i am ashamed (yet again..) that they can create such nice skins.. interest i guess.. secondly, her blog posts seem to have more substance than mine.. and what.. i'm like 5 years older than her.. ha! almost.. hmm am i bothered? this links back to my previous post regarding how i must "upgrade" myself.. i'm totally ashamed... sigh.. hehe but nm.. so much in life to learn.. as the chinese saying goes.. "huo dao lao.. xue dao lao!" hehe.. kudos to my dear layout designer.. who's name happen to be the same as mine! not lorraine but jiayi.. heh..

BUT today (14th June cos again i blogged after midnite)... a number of us from flag went out for dinner! sushi buffet there we went! headed for harbour front but realised that hey! from 14th June onwards.. there was no sushi buffet at the harbour front branch.. determined to have sushi, we headed for liang court... have a great time at dinner and boy we ate quite a bit... had to stroll after dinner so we strolled from liang court down clarke quay.. down boat quay.. to one fullerton! took bus 10 bACk to hall.. i'm skipping all the details here but it was really a nice fun walk.. lorraine again became the mini highlight of the day cos she never ate turkish ice cream b4! haha... so erm yuh lorraine had a taste of the cheeky icecream... and ice cream man... haha... took many many silly pictures all throughout this "outing".. sharing one here..
note: sharon, one of our two flag heads, is behind the camera.. she suggested that the colour code for outing was black.. soo... all of us are dressed in black cept for my dear neighbour adeline in pink! hehe.. cos she tot sharon was jus kidding and not everyone would turn up in black... arent we obedient members.. lolx.. just for fun!

spent one whole day at han's place... JUST lazing ard.. haha.. ain't tt lazy or what..
it's good time spent and dont we all agree tt we all should set aside time to laze... ya know.. like away from all the busy-ness.. still.. i feel that i could do more enriching things while lazing.. which i have totally not been doing... for example: reading!! boy have i not touched a book as in really read a book from page 1 till the end.. sigh.. plus.. hate to admit this but newspapers too! and i bet all these lack of reading is reflected in my quite shallow vocabulary and writings.. or hey! not even writings but posts.. haha.. okie.. such shameful things should not be shared but i am truly ashamed..
these lack of readings also affect a person in generally.. like the way we grow... perceive things.. and think abt things.. i do not think tt i am a person tt does not think.. but perhaps my thoughts are still quite shallow.. innocent.. and hmm.. kiddish.. and maybe i dont think enuff.. nothing wrong i suppose.. ha sum ppl remain "kiddish" all their lives and it's just their personality i guess..
sum self reflection huh... haha maybe i should have a spring cleaning of everything me.. starting from the physical stuff like my room... which is still in a state of tornado.. haha.. and like myself.. i need to raise my metabolism rate.. to the mental.. like thinking more and growing more my age.. without neglecting the fun of cos! and to... activities.. i should be doing more useful stuff with my life and learning new stuff.. useful? i guess as long as i view them as useful and enriching... tt'll do! erm yuh.. loads to upkeep and change huh.. we'll see.. haha takes lotsa self discipline.. bwaaah!

the day was soooo boring! but got better in the later part of the day...
went to han's place for dinner cos last min his bro said not coming home for dinner so i was the "replacement" hahaha... but still dinner at his place is always good cos his father cooks gooooooooood! very good stuff.. :) took a short stroll after dinner then headed for the driving range at East Coat Park.
My first time at the range!!! Didnt even know how to hold the club but slowly learn and stuff.. I v lousy but showed small encouraging improvements slowly.. lol. Han very fierce and impatient! but he said to him he was quite patient already.. Wished i'd brought a camera to capture these memories.. I enjoyed myself despite all the "bumps" and wanna go again to improve!!! Han say we would.. haha but added tt golf need patience and cannot have stubborn arms like mine...
Went to Macs for a drink.. then watched ppl bowl at the alley.. ended up bowling too! hahaha.. at first i worried cos han play sports ah.. v strict and impatient and competitive and like perfectionist.. then wait he criticise me...etc haha but he said nono this time bowling strictly for fun!!! and yeah i not so lihai but was fun! haha least i got a few strikes and spares!! :) he quite good though.. bowled for sch in pri and sec sch leh~ haha again.. no photos! argh! haha

i am reluctant to put up this post! becos this would mean my post of the wonderful diving trip i had more than a mth ago and the wonderful days after tt trip would not be shown on my blog but only in archives... boohoohoo... never the less i know time will go on and on but these sweet memories will stay in this blog archive.. and most imptant-ly in my memory hopefully 4ever.. hehe btw, i think for now my average blog rate is twice a week.. hopefully i can keep this pace up.. *grinz*
vesak day today in singapore! public hol! i stayed at home... slept the whole day... yuh.. went jogging in the evening (part of the keep fit plan) and after dinner went over to pat's house to visit her.. yinqi, yeek and tiangyew were there too.. it's really good to see her happy.. least it's a cheerful front.. better if it's not only a front.. but i really dont know.. but seems like it's not a front.. hehe okie.. anyway as usual lorraine was quite the "centre of attraction" hahaha... attracting comments like "she's such a bimbo..." my frens never fail to tease me! but hey... i haf intelligence okay... just tt we dont have to display it all the time... lol
han came to pick me up.. when i could take a 10 min walk home... i didnt know why i said "ok pick me up!" when he volunteered... ahaha... going to watch harry potter3 tmr!! yay! it's opening in theatres tmr and i booked tickets for it so tt i would be one of the first to watch..!
hmm okie.. just other thoughts before i end my post.. i realised tt memories seem to be nicer than what we are have now.. even when now is wonderful, memories just seem.. hmm sweeter and better? does anyone understand what i'm trying to say? why is tt so? is it sumthing like the grass is always greener on the other side... *ponder*
