So, so you think you can tell,
Heaven from Hell,
blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field
from a steel cold rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

Here is yesterday!

We started at Sunplaza Park, Tampines. Shortly after renting bicycles, We came by a very classy playground, complete with sandbox. So my favourite convent girl did the honours of posing for my very inadequately equipped Powershot.



Dr Liu up high on the swings.

We headed East towards Pasir Ris. It wasn't much of a journey. I made a fuss singing songs which made her wear a perpetual cringe on her already pained countenance.




Dr Liu leading the way (rather I screamed the directions). I was having fun annoying her by waving and screaming at the trains when it rumbled by.



Up a flyover. I could stay there forever looking out at the greenery and the sun, but Zhong had to drag me away.

We past Whitesands and entered Pasir Ris Town park, the one with a lake/pond. Size is subjective too.
We took sometime getting lost at the town park. And I happily took a shot of people fishing.

I can't see WHY people love fishing; you just sit and wait redundantly around for the fish. Might as well get it at the market, no? You even get to choose at the market.
Silly people.
Enter, heartland area! Since I could easily cycle without any hands holding on the bars, I was doing the Titanic, and screaming haitais+arm actions. I don't know how much Dr Liu had to endure (ie, pain of losing face), but I know I enjoyed myself.


Heartlands. Pasir Ris connector led us all around nowhere.

Strangers asking for directions, climbing crazy slopes and panting in a way that would put a hound to shame. But we persevered, and entered Loyang Avenue on our way to Changi Village. This stretch had a lot of those shameless bastards honking their, well, horns as they passed us, leering and smiling like the jerks they are. I so wanted to show them the finger, or do an up-yours but with Convent girls like Liu around, you have to refrain.
Thankfully I refrained. But we randomly (or rather, I) waved at passing cars which honked back and waved.
How friendly.




The industrial area known as Changi North. We dropped by Fa's place to do some refilling of the bottle. Silly me not to take any shots of CV, it would be beautiful. We were rather busy gawking around like a tourist. I especially looked like one, with the Powershot slung across.

Dropped by the market for much-needed refueling, me and my much-loved Sugarcane, she and iced ginger tea.



Dr Liu as usual, always enjoying her food, happily staring away. So cute!




Changi ferry terminal.




Changi beach! Nobody could imagine the racket I made when I was there. Me and beaches = best friends. I really pity Dr Liu due to the embarrassment I caused. Oh, any hot bod (male or female) I would whisper not-so-surreptiously to her "LOOK INFRONT OHMYGOD HOT".




This is worth more than any ride around the area.
This stretch of beach make us feel as if we're... in some drama series. It's simply beautiful, with such old trees all over, very white sand, and no litter. Breathtaking.


We entered the coastal stretch, 8km in all.



And the long road awaits...


This is the stretch where planes took off. The craziest stretch that got us laughing and crying. In vain, I tried to take a shot of a plane taking off with Dr's directions. The many times we fail and felt cheated of our time. Ha!




Sri Lankan Air!

Followed the long emotionally tiresome road and into...


Tanah Merah. This road is just magnificent, so secluded, so quiet. Beautiful!

And another 7-8 km ahead of us... Endurance, perseverance, and a jolly lot of reminiscence with Dr Liu.

Into East Coast Park.



This truly felt like home to me.

And so we ended our journey here. 4 hours of sudden stops for photo-taking, of singing, exasperation and embarrassment (mainly on her part), of joyful laughter, of cursing planes and randomly shouting random facts (or lies...).
SO awesome.



For fun.

As indicated, Dr Liu's thighs are red while her shins are... pale. Her fingers suffered the same too. Half red half white.

AIYOH.

Today, I, Ili Nadirah Jamalludin and Liu Zhongwei April, have cycled from

- Tampines' Sunplaza Park to Pasir Ris
- Pasir Ris to Loyang Avenue
- Loyang to Changi Village.
- Changi V to Coastal
- Coastal to East Coast

And then gorge ourselves (or at least I did) at Parkway.

WHAT AN ACCOMPLISHMENT.

Was very very satisfied and so very accomplished after we ended. I was making quite an embarrassment out of myself to her much-drama horror. BUT IT'S GOOD.

ZHONG NEXT TIME WE WILL START FROM BEDOK TOWN PARK ALL THE WAY.

Hmm that would probably clock in about 30km. Details later. Now time for dinner with the DF people hurrah.

To say the days of late were uneventful, I must be lying. Over the span of 5 days (or so...) I had met with my most loved and wonderful friends, I feel so blessed!

Sunday, after Sunday class, headed to Ily's place for Takoyaki session. The word marvelous would do it injustice. With Naz and Qai along there too. Naz did the female things like cutting etc etc etc Qai and Ily did the cooking and I, I did the cleaning.
I DID SOMETHING OKAY.
There was so many camwhoring going on I was surprised we weren't detained for taking THAT much pictures, it felt so sinful posing like there's no tomorrow, and snap snap snapping our life away. Oh it rained, glorious beautiful rain, and after that sweet rain moment a text from the rain woman came in. HAHA so fitting.
Sunday's conversation of the day: Naz, GPS, and sex.
"Turn left. Enterrrr"

Monday was a day of teaching. In the morning at Fat's, with his abominable sister Afifa pouncing on me begging to do my eyes.
OVER MY DEAD BODY PLEASE.
Tired after that, I went to meet Fana Banana my love at Simei, before heading over to Airport for late lunch. I killed, totally killed the frosted chocolate malt sundae. Thinking of it now, I am craving for it. Banana was so much love and all that talk... I'll change baby, give me time.

Oh I had to rushed to AMK and, for cheapskate's sake, took a cab from Tanah Merah. AND THEN this annoying butch was just standing there so I didn't know if she was waiting for the cab. Skank, she just stood in the middle of the line so I assumed she was, when she actually wasn't. I didn't know until this awesomely sexy woman asked if we were waiting for the cab and I said I was, and the butch said oh no, sorry. Meh.
Inched nearer to the front of the non-existent queue.
And of course, being a not-so-pure bisexual I stole surreptious glances at this hot hot sizzling woman with wow the sexiest body I have ever seen on two legs, live in front of me. So I saw a familiar tattoo on her thighs (now come on, please don't give me despairing looks I am only human) and no wonder she's so hot and familiar I've seen her before in Stansfield, in my own freaking school and ogled at before. So that's Putri, and she kindly waved me down a cab and spoke to me in that very very delicious accent.

I really died.
I know, I have no shame.

Another incident when I got off the cab. A typical couple with a child on tow approached the cab asking me to hold it since they wanted to board. Sorry, did I mention typical mat-minah couple with tattoos all around and could pass off as... 23? So the man/boy (I don't know, didn't see packages to know which is he) begged me for money to take the cab since he lost his wallet.
Seriously, from the bottom of my dirty heart, if I have money, I'd give him all since he was with a kid but typically I was cashless, and I wanted to cry when I said I didn't while he gave me a filthy I-THINK-YOU'RE-FUCKING-STINGY look. COME ON, I really don't have and I even opened my wallet to show him. Well, I peered from Vincent's apartment and thankfully they're boarding the taxi.
I AM REALLY SORRY.

Oh, Earlier on a man (malay of course -.-) beelined and asked for money for transport. And shamelessly asked for 5$. Fuck even I know it's for ciggarettes or weed or some nonsense so I gave him just 2 one dollar coins.
What's with them and begging? I don't mind the cab incident but I hate shameless begging, when you don't even try earning it. Even those blind people (Chinese obviously) are innovative enough to SELL or PLAY something to earn it.
Sheesh.

So taught the V-boy and headed home. Nice way home with a nice dusty sunset. Thankfully the night had been uneventful. I think after such a day I need some... inaction in life.

Tuesday was good. I finally met with Syir SHAZ (screams) Farahyn Mym Bana Haz, Raiyan, Yan, Isk, Fai, etc etc. And Abg Idrus was there from nearly a year at Tarim. Regaled us with stories of swimming with dolphins, barren houses. It was so good seeing all of them. Shaz me Syir Farahyn took turns on tandem bicycle. Was my first! I love doing the cycling at the back while the front person just steered ((: And RUSHED like fuck to airport for Ham's 21st birthday lunch. It was so cool! I love Gopala, I've half a mind to go to the Breek's website and write a letter of recommendation for him. Thanks to him, things turned out great. ((: Naz saw an author she was reading on the week before. So weird. Haha!
Was at Watson's stocking up on essentials when Teo called for dinner. I was so tempted to say yes but I was compelled to be home early. I guess it's that I-want-to-be-a-good-daughter syndrome.

(:

So today I went over Pei En's to do some teaching in the morning. I quite pity her with the sounds I make all the time, due to I don't know, tiredness? Had KFC with her before I met elf. ELF I MISS YOU SO YOU KNOW. And to repay me for missing her, she gave me a Patrick plushie to hang on my bag.
If that's not embarrassment, I don't know what is. But thank you... (:
And she sent me over to the bridge to block 187b (not because she's nice but for other reasons... -.-). Since Andrea text me yesterday about "missing my presence" (HAHA) we guessed it's time for movies. Ho hum walked under the hot hot sun (with her and that embarrassing pink umbrella with Disney princesses yet again) to get bubble tea, only to be disappointed. So trudged back over to her place - which was less of a pig sty since she cleaned before I came HA -, settled for I Am Sam. Which was beyond touching. BEYOND. Please watch the show, it even made me (aka stone-hearted) teared a bit. Was great performance by Sean Penn.
Oh did I tell you her father is such a warm person I wanted to hug him but we settled for a handshake, anyhow.
Toes wriggling beneath a duvet on a single wine bed (like a mouthful), watched Harold And Kumar next. It was quite a laugh. Crude humour. And then headed out for dinner - declining invitation out to dinner with her parents (who gave me hongbao -.-) - with all the perpetual argument about NO YOU SHOULDN'T EAT THIS AND THAT, food food and redundant broccollis. Walked to Compasspoint for my bus and her burger, and then I'm back home, happy with my day.

I brought home, from her extensive movie collection, The Sisterhood Of Travelling Pants, What's Eating Gilbert Grape? , Big Daddy, She's The Man, Cinderella Story, and Chasing Liberty. More than enough for the rest of my week man.

Tomorrow would be over at Pei En's in the morning before meeting Doctor Liu for another bout of cycling. So awesome, I love this week, meeting up with the persons that matter (: So happening (in a small way), is my life.

Nowadays are brainless days. Days never good when night came, me walking mindlessly in circles with awfully sad songs didn't work.
Neither did the blisters that formed. I tried tiring myself out but apparently I didn't try hard enough.

I watched Inkheart on Thursday. Kumar kept looking as if he felt sorry for me. Why, I don't know. We surreptiously checked movie timings, and after Econometrics we rushed -practically ran - to Suntec's Eng Wah to catch the 1310 show. Which we did, when class ended at 1300hours. Talk about a speedy walk. Inkheart's a rather interesting watch, I really enjoyed it.
Got to satisfy my Long John's cravings and we rushed back to school, thankfully on time. Tardiness wouldn't be good. Anyway wasn't it draining to rush to and fro? I was repaid with a call from Afifa wailing about her bad luck of 2009; spoilt handphone, cracked laptop, faulty camera, wallet stolen with 300$ and IC in it, missing her FTT. I just stared enviously at Andrea sleeping beside me -.- Glenda bought nice curly fries. I miss curly fries.
Correction; I miss curly fries FROM A&Ws. I find that there's a difference? Or maybe just my tongue gone faulty.


I slept in on Friday, cancelled tuition with Fat so I could watch my Aussie Open, got my late lunch (and milo dinosaur please, complete with sinful whipped cream and more sinful chocolate and strawberry sauce) and stoned at the nearby park, looking at the dusty sun. With music.

Saturday teaching, and sleeping. I tell you, I'm feeling pretty brainless nowadays, listening to Britney, Enrique, Kylie, Justin, Beyonce's brand of dance music. Just filling up little pockets of emptiness in me that yearns to be more cheered up and optimistic. Not that I am not, I don't know. Pei En fed me lunch, I am grateful, thank you... (:
Dinner with the parentals and now back at home downloading music (OH HOW ILLEGAL), solitaring and of course updating the blog.

Tomorrow is takoyaki day with Yanachan and Naz and maybe Nadz as well?
Ah truly need to feel alive.
And less brainless of course.

I went macaron hunting due to this unfathomable craving. But it was worth it. I shared it with my sexyback Yana chan, met her for dinner. She's such an embarrassment in public but it was great fun. Japanese food so pwns your western baby.

Today and yesterday felt joyful, I don't know how to describe it, but it has been good. Had dinner with Loretta (!!) and Rachel Wong (!!!). So love my time with them, such funny talks. I don't think they can take my dramatic talks.

"OMG RACHEL CAN YOU FEEL ME DEFLATING"
"No but I can see you're deflating."

Don't know why that remark seemed hilarious to my being. Ha! I always give her an extra-strong dose of hug. RACHEL WONG SHU LI MEET UP AGAIN BEFORE YOU FLY AWAY. ):

As crazy as it sounds I am addicted to a Birtney song. Ooh Ooh Baby. Ladies and gents, please youtube it.

I watched the presidential inauguration and as it always is President Barack Obama never failed in making me feel awestruck with his charisma and articulation.
He is the coolest president I have seen.
"This is what you call Old School."


Mm macaron love.

I don't know to describe the week as eventful or not. It has been good, a peculiar sense of detachment of mindbody and heart.

Knowing that someone's relative was shot in the head somehow unnerved me, the sudden end of someone's existence that mattered to you. It is, as compared to death due to sickness and whatnots, verily unexpected and the getting used to the absence of someone so dear to you is by no means painful.
Must be tough on her man.

I had a horrible sprain on my right ankle. And moral of the story is you don't try to stop a Bishan Arsenal girl like Fara when she is on the warpath. The ankle would be called obese if it was human. And the fear of a torn ligament haunt me because I could not walk, and haunt me further when the next morning I awoke and there's the buzzing in my ears telling me I'm about to faint. Which thankfully was prevented. Such a replay of 2006 please. I dialled the only number I know for these sort of cases and my favourite butch (sorry Rohenie if you're insulted by this term!) was so nice to come over to my residence, giving me a terribly painful but worth it massage and reduced the swelling. Just like a doctor ((: And keeping me company for a while even when she had a paper to sit for the next day.
ROHENIE I AM VERILY GRATEFUL OKAY.
THANK YOU FOR ENTERTAINING MY DRAMA AND WHININGS OVER THE FEW DAYS.

Haha it was painful to go to school, cabbed down with Aisha on tow. I was craving for nice noodle and since the other classmates decided to go Cathay (and I am not keen to walk that far) I called down the most reliable man Md Hamzah Zainal who walked with me, albeit so slowly to Bugis to satisfy my nonsensical pregnancy cravings. Sorry that your arm was taken advantage of. Thank you!

Thursday night, as usual, was long into Friday morning, delightful little talks; deep and meaningful. I am growing to appreciate such late night ramblings that has been going on for sometime.

I wasted my Friday morning sleeping and my Friday afternoon lazing around on bed until it is time to teach Fathul. I don't know to be glad or just be in despair that he is exactly like the sister.
SIGH. But the night sky was so beautiful over at their residence. Unhindered view. Gosh I'd kill to get such a great place to stay.

Naz and I decided for a class gathering at East Coast Park in the form of a picnic! I had a dollop of fun calling up classmates, under the ruse of a representative from EmitAsia calling if they would want to subscribe to Reader's Digest, or that they haven't paid some unknown credit card that was under their name. To my utmost delight they all fall for it, even Ms Huda. But I am excited to see all of them. Just hope plans solidify.

Friday night ended early into Saturday morning. I'm starting to like weekends too. I use to dread it but now it was made to be so much better. With Matin calling at 3 asking if I am fine and doing okay, that if there is anything do text him because he saw me online at 3 in the mornings lately and, knowing I am an early sleeper, got concern. AIYOH Matin can really be nice when he chose to be and we even ended off with civility and warmth. I didn't even cursed him throughout the conversation which is a first.
He's being too nice I'll ask him if something is up. Ha.
And Dela was being happy since mummy John's buggered back to England and I like the light banterings of surface things that made life more kind.
With Andrea always keeping me company until I fall sleep (:

It was a good start to a Saturday, comparing breakfast things and WOOSH the wind baby.
I decided to be annoying to my mother and text her

"Ibu if you're going out with Ayah later can you PLEEEEEASSE buy me my Post cereals it's finished already! It is detrimental to my existence I'll DIE without it!"

HAHA she showed to the father and she told me that just because I am of high education doesn't mean I can use big words on them! So cute. Went to Adam Road to eat the highly revered soto. Which didn't, never had and never will, disappoint. And to Sheng Siong to get my POST CEREALS (Blueberry Morning's still sold out -.-), baking things (the mother is baking me my favourite cake how I love) and my batik pants and boxers. There's an ultimately fat grey-brown cat that looked like she can't run even if her life depends on it.

Mm my relationship with the parentals are getting better and I am really glad because it makes me more happy and life bearable, that at least we know we're there for the other. Even my brother is being civil to me.

"What do you call someone who you can thoroughly coonect to?"
"Mm either a very special friend or your soulmate."

Which are you?

Hurr there's so much lack of sleep and food I'm amazed I'm still breathing.


My days were fairly mundane.

I died in school on Thursday, going off without breakfast (I was too late for breakfast) to watch Bedtime Stories. It's a good watch, but I feel the kind of movie you should only watch once. Andrea got a queasy tummy after the coffee tea thing. I don't know her fascination for it, and I don't think I'll ever try it after seeing her suffer. I didn't know a bookshop exist at the basement of Cathay and so we were giggling our life away looking through this interesting book Chinglish. It's about the notorious English-translated signs across China.

I hope someone buys that book!


I ate only 2 chicken paus. Anyway didn't know the school installed two pool tables and a dart board. Chinh and I played a game (which I surprisingly won haha). It cost a dollar to play a game, if only they charge it by hour! It'll be awesomely cheap. I was struggling, so struggling to keep awake throughout the night, with intermittent texts exchanged even though we're a seat away, and writing alphabets the other way around.

Aisha shifted to Bedok North St 3 AND THAT'S JUST BEHIND MY HOUSE. Haha I have brains so nearby if I'm unsure of my studies I can always drop by :D She was kind enough to accompany me for supper (wanton noodle, anyway is wanton spelled that way? looked so wrong...) and we went home together. Can't believe I have a classmate who stays SO near.

I thought sleep would hit me the night but it didn't, and she kept me company until 4.

People, you got to see my eyebags to believe it.


Friday morning lovin' head thumping eyes hurting and oh I have to get out of house because I'll be hindering my aunt and her cleaning. Off I went to Punggol Park for nice wind, nice lying and nice company. Though it gets mighty nippy nowadays. Kicking stones squinting at carrots and walking to Hougang Mall in such wretched weather. Friday night was a total knock out. Slept like a log...
Only to wake early to do some teaching. And for some guitar fun. Met Fifa for food at CV, playing the guitar at bus stops with annoying passengers staring. All to keep me away from paroxysm of moodiness. The night was long, we lasted until 2 before giving in to sleep.

ILYANA STOP YOUR DONUTS AND VJ DRAWINGS ON MY BOOK.

I know some might roll their eyes at me but the more I got to know her, I think I'm seeing her more as a special friend than anything else. (: Precious friendship baby.

Roger And Hemmerstein's Cinderella was a delight to watch, and I absorbed myself into such fairytale that was idealistic in all aspect; Handsome prince with beautiful hardworking girl, fall in love and live happily ever after.
I have still yet to believe in ever afters.

So after the play the inevitable happened, and in the process of breaking his heart, I broke my own. I crumbled seeing his dejected countenance (very drama I know, I could be a drama club president with all the going ons in my life) and I called the only number that was on my mind and I'm sure I sounded terrible over the phone.

I do wonder how he is coping. Gosh that'll make me cry.


I am glad I didn't spend the night without company, I would've gone mental. -.- My brother... he knew something was wrong so he occasionally peeked through the door and surprised me with a cup of tea and asked me to take care. For someone who couldn't even wash his own dishes this is a huge leap of... oh I can't find the words for it right now.
(At this moment there's overwhelming love for my brother lol)

Couldn't sleep and Andrea kept me company over the phone for almost 5 hours, longer if my father's alarm clock didn't go off. Right now my eyes totally cannot make it to the public and society hence here I am typing gibberish to keep me distracted and to burn time before I'm due to watch Bedtime Stories at 1320hours. Eyes oh eyes.
All the talk about Aurora Borealis, dark abyss of the ocean and McVitiesorCereals, bed bugs and... deep probing conversations (HTHTs lol) kept me away from thinking of the pain I caused.
Thank you.

I slept so late and up by 630am, and between then and 10 I was drifting between sleep and wake. Few texts here and there. She texted saying she'll be late for Kumar's, and suggested that I souldn't bother getting out of bed. THAT was the best advice I had in... few days.
I don't know how she can go to Kumar's class with such little hours of sleep. Guilt does hit you at the most peculiar moments.


Getting all that seriousness aside, my devil's spawn Afifah Ariffin teaches at Greenview Secondary School, where the majority of the upper secondary boys kept making passes at her.
I met Hamzah for lunch on Tuesday and how I love to eat wanton noodle and honeydew sago (: Thanks for coming all the way just to eat and then heading off home.
I met Chewy Dewi for badminton and boy am aching all over.
And eat wanton noodle again.
Hmm there's probably a match against the Siglap girls again next week and I hope we'll do so much better. Coach killed us for training just the other time.


Ok move on. I really hope... you're fine, truly fine.
But I don't think that'll happen in the next few weeks?

To keep my mind off things.

Saturday; I went over to Fatin's house for a baking session and of course a swim. It was very cold, despite the mild sun. Water.... suck. Haha.

I went teaching on Sunday over at Vincent's. I missed cards.


Gosh I am PMSing and I have the urge to bite whoever's head off now. Why must it be that time of the month. And when it's all cold and windy and the rain just threatening to pour and all alone at home and just... suck. I shouldn't have walked home from my grandparent's, the wind is killing me.

Anyway to continue on...

School starts today and all the technical words (eg, Baumol Tobin's Square Root formula Permanent Growth for Solow... bleargh) just flew above our heads. It was fun bothering Kat and Dewi (especially Dewi) I miss them so. Haha Dewi believed when I told her classes actually starts the week after this. And oh, that Ubin is an hour away from Singapore. HA.
Tisya and Nur met me in school and we proceeded to get the cake and food for grandparents. Yesterday was my grandmother's and tomorrow is my grandfather's birthday. You should see their faces when the three of us (she wasn't expecting any to turn up) just popped by with a cake and lighted candles singing Happy Birthday. Their faces when they actually blew candles off a cake.
I love them really.


No, seriously. If you don't mean whatever you say, you shouldn't say it.

I spent New Year's at home, pleasantly at home feeling wee bit lonely when the sailors sent their sparks high up in the sky to signify the start of 2009. Reflections, I'll do it when I'm in the right frame of mind, or I'll not do it here at all.

On the first day of the year when I woke, I was greeted first thing in the morning by a lovely soul (: And went to my uncle's for a gathering. What's with all the rowdiness, gave me quite a headache. Am glad Ilyana Qai Fatin was there to make it a bit more bearable. Of course with little texts here and there made me feel much better. It was getting wee bit noisy for my aching head I went off to meet the males for late lunch at Downtown and spend the good afternoon with company. Ham's nose was terrible, YOU SHOULD STOP CLEANING BABY.

I was welcomed by a cold empty home at 7.30pm, decided on a movie (I watched Twilight online, I think I should try the book because it seemed to be quite good) and Andrea thankfully kept me company until I fell asleep.

That was quite a good firstdayof2009.

Yesterday was teaching at 11 in the morning (the mother of the student gave me ice-cream! Hahah I love). I headed off to town with Andrea and it was quite an affair with sneaker balls and noisy bags and butt-itches and I was thoroughly educated on movies. She was stunned and at a disbelief when she realised I haven't been watching good movies, and proceeded to suggest a movie marathon over at her place someday soon. -.- I'm not that bad with movies right?? Carrefour was fun and she finally showed me the card shop she mentioned the other time. The one with very sweet soulmate cards and such. I felt horribly cheesy when I went in haha! Bras Basah to find some books and late lunch for her, she looked about to faint without food lol what a sight. And to the library! It was (please don't scream everyone) my first time visiting the reading section usually I just sat around the empty areas to zone out or play the guitar. So walked through aisles and aisles of books (didn't know there were alot of them seriously) I felt so excited in that library there's so much to read but sadly I cannot borrow. Andrea whipped out her spectacles so she can finally see ha.
I think I need to return my overdue books.
Went to Ah Chew for my honeydew sago, I missed that. Cursed at cars that narrowly missed us. I think I have a phobia of cars that came so close, especially those MPVs.

I went to the mosque at night and back home so tired out! I think I have no stamina when it comes to walking about the city area. Thankfully the crowd wasn't out yet when we were there. Cannot stand it, claustrophobic!

Mm my internet connection when I use my desktop was quite horrible, hard to have proper conversations online. But I moved on to my iPod touch (where I can thankfully use eBuddy or ILoveIM). I think I want to switch to wireless on my desktop! Hamzah must HELP.
I rarely cared being online actually, but because we need to save on handphone bills, resorting to msn is a good move. Throwing chocolate chip cookies out the window, showering at unearthly hours, being tormented. And being called devil's spawn. Goodness. But again it's good to sleep with you being the last person I had contact with ((:


OH. CHANGE OF EMAIL ADD. Syahril was being a doll, setting up my account for me without my knowledge (: Please do the neccessary changes; ili_ann@live.com

2009 promises to be a good year, although I'll miss 2008 dreadfully.
