昨天，哭了。
第一次是听他的这句话：“我是不会先提分手的。但如果以后你真的要，也只好随你的了。” 爱着我的他，表情好可怜好可怜… 赐给我了自由，却深深地伤了他的心。
（如果我说在那时刻重新爱上他的话，会不会S了一点…?）
第二次是在讲诉公公临死中的后悔和惭愧…
好累。
也许是阴天的关系吧。
Today, I woke up at 9am and decided not to go to school.
Then I had a good shit and a good shower, and that’s all that really matters to be satisfied in my life, really.
Here, have a morning view from outside my window from four days ago:
6:52 am
7:14 am
8:39 am
Feeling sleepy…
Perfect Parallel Parking!

Ti showed it to Mum and I just now. In the beginning I was like, “What’s this middle tyre (for)?” Now we know XDDDDD
This is a nice distraction from the mega bruise that’s slowly but surely gaining a darker shade on the left knee which resulted from my epic slip on wet marble tiles at 5.30am this morning (everyone was asleep and missed this grand LOL moment). It hurts a little just to walk. I should get started on milk again, just in case. Anyway, doctor’s advice.
She also advised me not to go to the carnival where I’m supposed to be running around with Super Fatty being trigger-happy in a few hours time at the school where Shasha is interning at. Therefore I will be home, away from crowds, being my usual inert self T^T
Day 01, 28th June 2009, Sunday
Right after arriving in Genting, we headed straight to the Hainanese Chicken Rice Restaurant for lunch. I’ve missed you, my black teh-o!!!
Okay this picture mainly for the amusement of how stick figure is bowled over by his receiving enlightenment.
Decor of the Hotel Resort Genting, the place we stayed at. Ti and Pa shared one bed, while I had one all to myself. Luxurious!!!
The only photo of the three of us.
After that we decided to try out the free WiFi at The Coffee Bean downstairs. Their mobile WiFi sucks. I kept logging out! Also, the cakes weren’t nice at all, and I’m not saying this out of spite. It was a horrid experience.
Day 02, 29th June 2009, Monday
Outside the outdoor theme park. The sad thing is that Ti is too chicken/bored to go for the rides while Pa is too old to attempt them. In his own words, “I’ll walk in there and get carried out,” to which I lol-ed like nobody’s business, unfilial daughter that I am.
Some of the same flowers that I saw last year, except that this time they’re in stages of wilt :(
This stalk had full blooms though!
But the next stalk I saw further uphill was in an even worse condition.
The indoor theme park’s merry-go-round.
They had a Vietnam Culture exhibition. These ladies were making sand paintings. I especially liked the one of the lady in front of the moon. The interesting thing is that both sides were a different picture. Power!
After that we walked a lot and had lunch at Old Town. I was terrified when the prawn mee I’d ordered came in red. It wasn’t as spicy as it looked, but I still couldn’t finish it. Old Town’s WiFi was still the best I’d ever had the pleasure of enjoying.
Day 03, 30th June 2009, Tuesday
Buffet breakfast provided by the hotel in the mornings.
Some snaps of the room before we left. Am especially taken with the toilet because the wardrobe could be accessed both from the corridor and from inside the toilet! Pa thinks it’s stupid but I think that it’s an awesome design!
That’s it for my short trip to the highlands.
Now excuse me while I try to down the ginger tea and pretend that some dust got into my eye as I sob over a burnt throat. After that I shall comfort myself with some manga and then lay down on the bed feeling down and trying to keep the food in my stomach because my flu-induced poor appetite tried to reject what little I could force feed myself in order to take my meds.
I don’t want to be sick anymoreeeee :(
I am appalled that my body has succumbed to the flu virus again for the second time in merely two months. Whatever happened to falling ill once in a few years!??!
Something didn’t feel right last night and I actually joked to Shasha that I may have caught something in Genting over the weekend… me and my sway mouth. But the truth was Mum called Pa and Ti and they were both fine. The doctor said it was due to my low immune system, and partly because I didn’t drink enough water (to which Mum ganged up with the doc and took the opportunity to shame me away from my nocturnal and sedentary lifestyle- they talked for so long I was beginning to worry about the patience of the patients after me).
Actually by the time I visited the doctor, my temperature was already lowered to 37.5 degrees celcius. I guess Nin Jiom Herbal Tea really does wonders because when I woke up at 6am feeling like my body was being boiled, Mum took my hand and exclaimed that I was hot. There goes another large chunk of my brain… I’m surprised I still know how to spell.
Am trying to stay awake despite my gradual loss of motor control because subject registration for next semester is at 1.30pm and I don’t want to take the chance of giving in to drowsy medicine only to wake up after 4.30pm when the registration closes. FYP ah don’t play play!
Also, it must be noted that just as we do hairstylists, we also don’t practise customer loyalty to doctors. The doctor we went to this time was damn hip! She had purple highlights in her fringe and wore colourful clothes with heeled straw wedges. And to think that she is about Mum’s age (graduated in 1988 sia! That’s like, ancient). Not surprisingly, my medication was also damn colourful :D
Toxic green lozenges in case of a sore throat, Nasty peach flu tablets that refuse to go down and instead disintegrate bitterly in my mouth, and Orange M&M-like vitamin C tablets; apparently I need them orz
Okay now that registration was done in the middle of this post I shall retire to the bed and try to position my aching body in a way that does not hurt my aching joints. Something tells me that it won’t be long before I head down to zzz-land though.
This second half contains some of my favourite concept characters, especially colour and technique-wise. But that’s probably because I think I improved a bit by learning and drawing so much and being forced to use colour pencils via computer starvation in the project room ^^;
Outlined in ink and colour penciled.
Colour pencils. Tintin collabed and coloured in the green-haired girl :DD His colour pencils are so 强 can… orz
Colour pencils. My favourite ones from the traditional stuff I did!
Outlined in colour pencils and coloured in Photoshop, because it was Friday and some of the people who normally use the computers weren’t there :P Sometimes I still can’t believe I coloured in the first girl!
By the way, this new direction had inspiration taken from Mark Ryden. He has such wonderful paintings that it’s sick XDDD
That’s the end of the post-dated entries! Expect me home in another 9 hours from the time this post is published~~
I’ve heard that I don’t post my school stuff here anymore… I think it’s because either everything is a WIP or I just can’t be arsed after rushing for submissions ^^;
Anyway, the post will be split into two parts. This first half is more of an exploration while looking for a direction for the project. I really liked drawing the female character instead of the male one :P
The character and her room. I drew a panther as her pet. Ink outline and Photoshop.
Outlined in ink and colour penciled.
Draft in red pencil and coloured in Photoshop.
This was just starting into a new direction, namely Modigliani.
Tomorrow is part two! Also the day I come back :DD
Modesto & Bakerzin
Published June 28, 2009 Ade , Food , Lollertoaster! , Super Fatty Leave a CommentAde and I had an early dinner at Modesto in Vivocity. At first there was only a family dining there, but soon after at about 6+pm there was a couple, 2 ang mohs, a japanese family, and a family who dined al fresco. Seems like this place is pretty popular with molecules containing children!
I really appreciate the menu having life-sized pictures to gauge the size of the regular and mini pizzas! +1.
The plate was amusing. Cute! Also, the glass of water came with a slice of lemon (sometimes while drinking I wonder if it’s meant to be for washing hands after eating chilli crab…)
The olive oil and vinegar reminded me a lot of my first time eating bread this way at Prego.
We had the Salsiccia e Scar-something. It’s what I can make out from the photo of the menu. The meatballs were not bad, and the thin crispy crust was yummy!
After that we paid cash and after the bill had been sent to the register, realised that we could be entitled to a 10% discount using Mastercard (which Ade has). Ade hurriedly called the waiter over and flashed a card straight from her wallet, asking if we could change our payment mode. Something was wrong with the card she was holding… It was pink and it had a barcode. That was her NRIC la! And she didn’t seem to be holding any other card in front of it. Damn funny!
Apparently Ade always has her credit card at the front of the pocket, but recently she had to change the address at her NRIC card that’s why it was where her credit card was supposed to be.
Ade said that Bakerzin has monthly promotions. June’s promo is New York Cheesecake for 50% off. I usually don’t trust gel-like toppings, because they seem to promise loads of artificial sweetening which leaves me exceptionally thirsty after, but this one seems to be just nice; not too thick a layer while having a tinge of sourness. I was so mesmerised by the gel that I didn’t really notice the cheesecake…
I also found out what kind of things Ade has been saying about me. There was one time KK drove her and his sister over to drop something off at my place. When KK’s sister saw me, she exclaimed how thin I was, to which Ade reassured her that I may look thin but my butt size was 38-40 (and KK’s sister was like, that’s my size!), and both she and Ade bonded over my big butt in disguise.
Thanks a lot Ade, I will always remember this! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
We went there for kite-flying! It was Mum, Brat#1, Brat#2, Mum’s friend and her three-year-old grandson JW originally. Then in the morning I heard of it and decided to join them, and finally Tintin did too. We were just a tad too late to catch the sunset! It was gloriously pink while we were reaching our destination on the road, but by the time we’d actually set up camp (i.e. their picnic groundsheet and my tripod) the sky was imbued with purple already orz
But anyway, pictures!
The beautiful paper kite in the likes of a butterfly that was from China! Also the frame which I show my back is the frame that explains just how terribly I’d fare in the wilderness. Sala (wrong) direction la!
This was the maximum it could go with the original length of string.
But Mum bought spools and spools of Superior Polyester Thread – 200 Yards to add on to it XDDDD
Under construction.
The cityscape.
Includes my first ever light painting and various other collabs (the ones with flash) mostly with Brat#2. Brat#1 and Mum also are inside.
I drew the wings first then estimated where to stand, and it fit like a glove! Not bad for a first try eh? XDD
The subsequent attempts weren’t as good as the first… but I added a red heart :P
I drew for Mum :P
Tintin and I drew for her photograph of her ascension to enlightenment :P
This was taken right before I packed away my amateur equipment and proceeded to play Freeze with the Brats and Tintin. Omg I am super rusty in the field of excercise… they were good. But I managed to catch all three of them! WUAHAHA!!
Actually only because Brat#2 stood there and exclaimed that he was tired from running, Tintin I used my foot to catch him, and Brat#1 because he slipped and fell onto the ground. I fail. orz
I had the brilliant idea of taking the brats to an outing again on Monday. I believe it all started when Ruru and the radio highlighted to me about the student promotion at the Singapore Flyer (i.e. fancy name for a ferris wheel) where students get to ride it for $10, which lasts until 28th June.
I forgot just how exhausting they can be. Although, to be honest, it’s just Brat#2 who consistently kept true to his tyrannous nature. Anyway, we walked all the way down to the Singapore Flyer from Bugis, and by the time we got there to buy the 6.30pm tickets at 4pm, we were a bunch of sweat-drenched students. There is a small lush garden in the middle of the building, with a pond and small cave that Brat#2 and I chanced upon :D
A small faded sticker on the side of the bridge in the garden.
Yummy fish.
This was the group. Left to Right according to whose head comes up first:
Brat#2, Tintin, Brat#1, SJHH, Josh, Me.
This is probably the ideal interaction with Brat#2– far away and slightly out of focus XDDD
Inside the cave!
I love the colour of the lallangs outside the Flyer (we walked back to Marina Square after buying the tickets).
After taking these two photos, we walked past the MRT station building-in-construction to find two security guards scrutinising us…
At 6pm we were back to board the Flyer. The sun was setting and we’d heard that there would be a long queue!
Unfortunately there was no queue at all and we boarded on time. This was just after take-off, and right after the doors closed SJHH and the brats started screaming in excitement and jumping around while I went ‘wth!?’ and took Super Fatty out of my bag. We had the cabin to ourselves!
Group shot 1!
We spied dragon boaters, speeding by like a mechanised toy.
What you’d see through the smudgy, slightly tinted windows.
You’d also see three birds (Tintin said they were eagles) hovering about skyscrapers in search of concrete rodents.
The ang mohs before us.
The huge Indian family after us. From these two pictures we were already on the descent.
Speaking of which, when we were at the peak of the ferris wheel, a voice came through the speakers alerting us of such and promptly said that we were at the top of the world… to which SJHH said, “Really meh? I can see buildings taller than this.“.
There was a purplish light at the ceiling (there was also a compass showing the NSEW dirction).
Two of the more acceptable scenic shots from the Flyer, depicting the fail that is not quite catching the sunset LULZ
Shiny building!
As we loomed near the bottom, the speed dropped to Drastically Slow and the voice on the speakers came on again. However I couldn’t catch much of it other than ‘take‘ and ‘photo‘ because SJHH and the brats were squealing again (some hoo-haa about SJHH being a monster out to terrify Brat#1 XDD), so I suppose that this is a mock up of the Integrated Resort.
Taking the free shuttle bus back to City Hall MRT. Smart move, moving through the more interesting places en route.
My favourite shots from the outing XDDDD
After that Brat#2 said that the Indians in the carriage after us probably thought that we were punching them (because that was where we were facing :P)
The end!
