I Wish!
I wish that my job was over so I can get back to waking up at NORMAL hours (read: 12 noon or later), loafing, LOSING WEIGHT (cause I don't eat much) and hanging out with my friends who keep FORSAKING ME. DX Omg I want to be free. I can't wait for April to be over. And the best part is that I don't have to see Michael again. The bane of my existence. XDDDDSome overdue pix from when Drey and I went all the way to NYDC for my mushrooms. <3 ^^
YES YOU SEE SIX. CAUSE THE STAFF LIKED ME AND DREY. SO THERE WERE 6 IN A REGULAR PORTION OF 5.
Oh god. Massive craving. laskndrfhgjas;dgn.

My Life Starring Eggs
My Life Starring EggsToday it struck me as I was having an intimate moment alone with a perfectly done half-boiled Egg. Such moments are rare because apparently the art of timing half-boiled eggs in various temperatures of hot water has long slipped through the fingers of our capable coffeeshop uncles and aunties. But I digress.
I can't seem to bring across my love for Eggs sanely enough without sounding like a babbling, incoherent mess. And to those who think they're being smart after reading that last sentence, shut up. ^^ Anyways, it's amazing how an inexplicably beautifully done half-boiled egg can make the rest of the long working day seem that much better. And it's done without being overtly fancy, without any unnecessary complications or excess. That's the beauty of Eggs.
I love eggs, as most of y'all would know. I'd like to roughly quote from the movie "Julia and Julia", that if a meteorite was heading straight towards Earth and we all only had 30 days left to live, I would spend it eating EGGS. Screw cholesterol. ^^
Half-boiled, hard-boiled, poached, Creme (Cadbury), steamed, scrambled, herbal, seasoned, "rotten" (century eggs), fried, sunny-side up, Benedict-ed (??), the list goes on! How can one humble food be so versatile and colourful in its ways! A hard-boiled egg and a steamed egg custard can taste so deliriously different, but it will always have the down-to-earth, nostalgic tones of Eggs.
Furthermore, Eggs can be taken plain, salted, buttered, peppered, sweetened (think tamago), soya-sauce-d (??) and so on. I'm going crazy here! It's really amazing because it can be eaten so many different ways, I'm totally giddy, cause it means I won't ever be sick of Eggs!
Aside from being tasty, they're pretty much a staple for many people, and are pretty healthy when taken in moderation, so that's couting me out. But whatever; I'm young so I'm allowed to eat TWO BEAUTIFUL, DELICIOUS EGGS A DAY. OH GLORIOUS DAY. I'll spam Eggs like this until I'm old and cholesterol levels start creeping up on me.
It's a shame when my daily quota is wasted on badly prepared Eggs, but sometimes these things are necessary in deeming which place is best to go to when you want a particularly well done Egg, whether half-boiled, steamed, or any of its cousins.
I will now draw my somewhat creepy worship of Egg to a close, and I know I sound pretty crazy, but that's just cause I'm spurned on by a love of food and a wish to glorify it, in the most un-blasphemous way, of course, because I love God first and foremost. XD Nevertheless, Egg will always hold a special place in my Egg-loving, cholesterol-laden heart. <3

Chuck it all into one
I haven't been blogging cause work's been hectic! And all I wna do when I get home is to loaf around and talk on the phone. XD I DON'T EVEN TURN ON MY COMP SOMETIMES!So there have been a few seemingly small, but drastic changes in my life. XD
1) I've become more tan, and have that bikini tan line that I used to insult people for. HAHAHA.
2) I have long nails. Well, as long as my tiny fingernails can produce them. Dad says to keep them for a week more, than I can go for a manicure. XD
3) The yaya guy I mentioned in my below post has become my lunch buddy and friend. HAHAHA. His name is Michael and he's also from SR, 2 years my senior. I swear, SR people are everywhere! First Joel, now Michael!
2 new girl temps have come to join us, both from poly and 1 year older than me. I'm officially the youngest in the building. Hoohah. And someone backstabbed me today. At least, I think that's what it's called. Nah. Tattling is more like it. Cowardly bitch. Yes, it was a girl. Eurgh, whatever. Work politics and all that; I should've known it would be inescapable, even at such a nice place as Law Society. Oh and I found out today that the stint in those cartoons involving a tall dude holding the head of a mad, flailing short guy at arms length to prevent the latter from getting at him actually works in real life. I'm so MAD. RAH. I maintain that being short has its advantages okay!
Haniel, Kim and Chewy are leaving for LONDON on Saturday FOR A BLOODY MONTH. It's not like I've been talking to them much and all, but it's a whole different situation altogether! I hope they'll be safe. (: Haniel's treating me to Marche(sp?) tomorrow for dinner, I hope it's good. XD I've got to pour a month's worth of concern, love and all the general emotions like that into tomorrow's meal. Wish me luck! XD
On a nice ending note, I HATE THINKING OF WHAT FOOD I HAVE TO EAT AT MEALTIMES. IT'S BECOME A LABOUR I TELL YOU.

The Law Society Of Singapore
The Law Society Of Singapore. That's the new place I'll be working at for the next month! Aunty Sharmaine helped me get that job as a temp in the account department, and the people there are really heaps nice. I guess I'm just lucky. XDI'm only doing saigang, and that's boring, but relatively brainless and that's what I like! XD I like doing saigang leh. HAHA. There's another temp at Compliances on the first floor, and he's so yaya. 21, freshly ORDed, admitted into SMU Law already. No wonder he's like that. Hahahaha.
Work for another month! Let's see how I can handle it. It'll be my longest job yet then! I seem to have an issue with all things long-term. Jobs, relationships. HAHAHAHA.
Gna watch Alice in Wonderland with Rui, Drey and Joel tomorrow! YEY CAN'T WAIT. I'm wearing purple jeans. HOHO. Irrelevant, but somewhat necessary in this narcissistic hompy. XD
Joel's back! I wna go Taipei. No, I just wna go on a VACATION. RAH. I WNA GO SOMEWHERE THAT ISN'T BOILING AND WHERE I GET RASHES AND HEATBURNS. DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDX NZ is sounding really good right now. Argh.

A level results 10
SO GUESS WHAT.
...
I GOT 84 POINTS FOR MY A
LEVELS!!!
For you people who don't know what that means, it's AAC/A and B for GP. (: I'm so glad. Let me recount my day. XD
So I was sitting with Xing, Fon and gang at Good News before the release of results, nervous as hell. Then after a while, I couldn't take it anymore, and migrated to outside of the hall with my mates. We sat there, anxious, for what might've seemed like forever (I SAW HEECHUL) before Peter Goh called "LAST YEAR'S J2S" to get into the hall. On the way in, Xing and I posed retardedly for a photograph (see above), and Haniel was all, CAN YOU NOT TAKE PICTURES NOW cause of the impending doom and all that jazz, but the dude was like no. Suspicious no? Since when did school photog get so gutsy. XD He was snapping pics all throughout the thing, but I'm getting ahead of myself here. Fon snuck in to sit with us, and we all crowded and sat randomly-but-together and prepared ourselves for the big show.
So as usual, Ms Christina Tan talked, then TTH came up. We prepared ourselves for a damn long talk, and we weren't disappointed luh. Then he started flashing the passes and distinctions for the respective subjects, and people were clapping, but I was all, PFFT CLAP FOR WHAT IF YOU'RE ONE OF THE PEOPLE WHO DIDN'T DO WELL. There's always the chance. Me, pessimistic as always for fear of getting my hopes up before they're dashed, was sitting there scowling by the time he started flashing the top scorers. Then he moved on to the 80+ pointers, and I was going all, AHH imagine if my name was up there. THEN SUDDENLY. A DAMN LONG NAME.
REBECCA LAU SUI SAN.
MY FIRST REACTION WAS WTF NO IT'S A MISTAKE, AN ERROR. Then I saw my L1R5, CCA, and I FREAKED. MY EYES WERE AS LARGE AS SAUCERPLATES. Then the people around me started turning to me and freaking out, and I was still going all THIS IS A MISTAKE.
Let me qualify my denial. I'm not one of those people whose names get posted up for special mention. I'm not, in terms of academics, anything special. I creep along and sometimes do average, sometimes do fairly well, but not remarkably so. So you can see how this might've come as a shock. Terribly unexpected. I was just praying all the months before that I might stand a chance to get into Uni. Now, I stand a chance to CHOOSE. Uni life has become more tangible, attainable! I think I'll need quite a while to get over this miracle. XD Haniel said I studied hard, but it was nothing memorable. I suppose I did something right despite all my playing and slacking, though in hindsight, if I hadn't been so distracted, I might've even done better. (:
Eventually, I accepted it, and called mum with shaking hands. Was met with an explosion of noise, not to mention joy, over the phone. (: Called Dad next, was met with a "so is that good??". HAHAHAHAHA. Ahh I love my parents. XD I've thanked God so many times cause I simply cannot say I did this without His help, I really can't. I'm really thankful that he chose this path for me that was the easier one for me to accept, and I know whatever comes to me is his will, and I'm just especially thankful that it was for the better, and brought me such overwhelming happiness. I also thanked the teachers I could find, and mentally thanked those I could now. I really owe it to them and their endless patience and help. Who says it's about what school you're from! HAHA.
So, I think I'm still trying to accept it. Hahahaha. Went to SMU Open House today, pretty daunting. Dad's pushing for it cause it's near and he can send me and all, but I really wna go NUS FASS. Ever since I came into JC. Ahh I dno why, I just do. After all, the private sector, when hiring you, simply wants to know if you've graduated or not. And I'd rather graduate and do well in something I can enjoy for 3/4 years, than to slave away at something that SUCKS AND I SUCK IN for 3/4 years. I'm not quite that tolerant yet. HAHA. I'm just trying to prolong the time when I can't make my choices anymore, like being practical for the future and not being able to do what I love. Of course, that's not necessarily true, but it IS unavoidable if you wna eke out a more-than-just-scraping-by living. And God knows I spend money like water. XD
I hope that all of my friends get to do what they want to do, because I know the effort they have put in. And it will not go to waste. Maybe now, results aren't what you expect. But NEVER, NEVER give up. This door may be closed to some, narrow to others, but there will always be other ways. It doesn't matter, just pick up the pieces and move on to a different puzzle. Who knows what adventures and life lessons will wait for you there but yourself. I hope I'm not too cheesy, but this good saying just comes to mind.
"When life gives you lemons, make lemonade."
Add your own sugar. (:

PS, that photographer I mentioned earlier? From Stomp. Go to Youthphoria and find SRJC pictures. ^^ And look for BLUE. Haniel and I WILL be there, when it's not Daryl. XD
PSS, I want to gloat, that the girl who called me a bimbotic freak, and who said her command of English was better than mine (read: EUDORA) got 71 points. HAH. SUCK ON THAT.

Results
Here I am, freaking out about my A level results. It's deja vu, from my O levels. Me and parents had a talk about my subjects and papers, how I felt I did. Later on, dad came up to me and said.Don't worry about a thing. Whatever the outcome, mum and dad will sort out for you. What matters in the end is that you're mummy and daddy's daughter, period, fullstop.
That's accurate as far as I can remember it. I hugged him back and said thanks, but only God knows how much I needed to hear that. Sometimes he falls short, but he manages to do the most wonderful things that make me grateful he's my dad after all. Now all that's left is for me to believe it. I'm glad I have such wonderful parents. <3

MATTERS OF CONCERN.
THERE ARE SEVERAL PRESSING MATTERS OF CONCERN I FEEL LIKE I HAVE TO BLOG ABOUT, JUST CAUSE I WANT TO. AFTER ALL, WHAT ISN'T A BLOG BUT A NARCISSISTIC DOMAIN FOR PEOPLE TO INDULGE THEMSELVES IN? I BE INDULGING. And the caps abuse has got to end.
1. I want Jjajangmyun
Like seriously, what a better time for a craving than at night, where eating is prevented by my parents, my maid's gone to sleep, and when I put on the most weight cause I'm not burning it off. I've pretty much regarded those things preventing me from eating with utmost carelessness before, but that's cause cooking whatever I felt like eating then (pot mee/soup) was convenient. JJAJANGMYUN IS NOT CONVENIENT. I WANT IT. DAMNIT. Maybe cause I can't have it, makes me want it more.
2. I miss Haniel.
DAMN INACCESSIBILITY. Not to mention his preoccupation with his work. And he'll quit on friday, only for me to find myself probably being grounded forever cause of predictably horrendous marks. DX And he's also gna be RUNNING OFF TO GODDAMNED "ACROSS-THE-GLOBE" EUROPE FOR A MONTH. NEVERMIND THAT THEY'RE BACKPACKING, NO CONSTANT INTERNET ACCESS. FUCK. And after that, OOH ARMY. That Haniel is asking for a beating.
3. I might like You.
And I dno if you like me back. RAWR. I don't like you so much as to wait on your messages, so I'm happy when you do text me. And I don't like you so much as not to be able to pull away if you don't like me back. But do you? I can't tell whether you do or you don't. I hope we can remain in this limbo, it's safer for me for now. I like this. ^^ Is this what they mean by going slow? I'm thinking this is the better way after all. <3>
