It's the last day of JULY!! Dear lord.. its too fast to even believe that July has come and gone.. soon i'll be GONE! Holy smokes..
Alright, so I just returned home from TM. Took some time away from cooking and cleaning the house, to go meet up with Mariah and Mai. Its so good to see them attending school and what not.. not like me, staying at home like a SLAVE. But my time here will be over pretty soon, so I'll stop complaining. Haha
Sat and chilled out a Starbucks for an hour or two, before heading back home by bus. Missed dinner with the family but they were kind enough to save me some of dad's cream pasta and chicken chop. Yummy.. Currently watching "GEORGE of the JUNGLE". Haven't seen that one in years!! haha =)
Right, tomorrow's gonna be a pretty busy day. I'm anticipating it..
GOOOOODDDDDDYYYYY NIGHT!
I'M SO FUCKING LAZY TO BLOG TODAY..
GOODNIGHT! =)
Same old things are happening here, at home. Was suppose to head out and meet Mariah but things came up.. haha =)
Thought everyone was gonna be home for dinner, so I lovingly prepared everything but Dad called at the very last minute to say he'll be going out. Waste my fucking time.. I could have just cooked a small pot of Maggie noodles and that'll be my dinner. No consideration.. that old man!
And just when will he ever stop telling me to do things that I don't wanna do? Every fucking night he comes out of his room just to tell me and my sister to head to bed.. at 1030pm! My goodness.. I'm freakin 19 years old and he's still doing all this? Good lord lah.. Fine. He says that to my sister, I totally understand cause she's got school and all. BUT ME?! Pfft! Sickening attitude of his.. Piss me off to the moon only!
Tomorrow, I might head back to the embassy again to get my VISA done.. Mafan.
NIGHT!
Whatever it is, the main point is I'm truing to do something but I'm distracted at the same time. Haha =)
Back to watching drama series online.. was there ever a time when I didn't watch any? Haha..
Found this similar Japanese drama called "Hana Yori Dango" or Taiwanese would have called it, "Meteor Garden". Same story line with a little twist here and there. I got fed up watching the Taiwan version simply because there's 27 episodes to watch.. Jesus.. that's longer than an ordinary K-drama.
So I managed to complete all nine episodes from the Jap version.. and its season 2, starting tomorrow. haah =)
Other than that, I'm still PATIENTLY waiting for the email that the school was suppose to be sending soon. If the I-HOUSE is completely full, I'm gonna have to search the whole of Sinchon Street for a suitable homestay. Still feeling nervous, but i'm starting to get excited too. Thanks to Ruth who have me a little advice. Pfft! A 16 year old is telling me all this.. I don't believe it. -__-
My Ch 8 drama is coming on soon.. More updates tomorrow!
JA NAE!
I just look at the people around me( be it FAMILY or FRIENDS) and find them adorably cute when they talk too much about that one person, so close to their hearts. WOW.. the power of love.. truly amazing.
They think about their first meeting, then their first "casual" conversation..then proceed on to long-term chatting and getting to know more about each other.
Haha =) The next thing you know, he's asked you out for a movie and all that. Tsk tsk.. And you find that he's most PERFECT guy ever and would want to spend all your time with him, if you could.. *sigh..
Seriously man.. WHEN WILL MY TIME COME? haha.. another 10 years? If so, I think I'll consider becoming a nun. hahaha! Then I'll only love GOD and do tons of praying and all that.
Tish-tosh! Why am I even thinking about this?? haha.. I'm a patient person aren't I?
Went for mass this afternoon with Jackiee.. Met Andrea there too. After church, went for lunch.. hung out with my sister and her bunch of friends..even went to Grandma's to hand her something..
Before I knew it, Dad called to say that Uncle Mike and his family were over at our place for dinner. So rushed back home.. found my little cousin sleeping in the living room, taking up all the space on the couch.
Watched 'Wild Hogs' on STAR MOVIES with Jackiee while the rest went out for a swim. Had spaghetti and meatballs for dinner.. damn delicious. I don't know when I'll be able to taste dad's cooking once i'm gone. And that's very sad people..=(
Watched ELEKTRA on Ch 5 but I didn't understand one bit about the movie so therefore, I din enjoy it.
I guess tomorrow's gonna be a pretty busy day. Got make a FINAL list of things that I need to get and where to get them. Mind boggling I'm sure.. haha =)
Right.. end her now, more tomorrow.
JA NAE!
Anyway, its a Saturday.. spent the entire afternoon at home with the family. I guess you could say,we were all in front of the telly..enjoying the wonderful Starhub Privileges. So now we've got all the movie channels. WOOPEE!
Towards evening, got dressed to meet the other two. As usual lah, I'M EARLY and they're late.. I think I waited for an hour or so. Met Van and Mariah, took the train down to City Hall where we met Wahidah. Walked to Victoria Concert Hall for the SAC concert. Was okay lah, but 2 years ago was better..
Met some familiar faces after the concert..even the EX teachers! Haha..
Walked over to LAU PA SAT for supper. Damn filling.. not to mention EXPENSIVE!
Met Jackiee on the train then came home..
Church tomorrow, thinking whether I should go or not.. Since mom says she wants to attend 9.30am mass. SO EARLY.. I'll consider lah
BED TIME NOW..
Called me just to ask what kind of washing machine my household is using. Pfft!
After that 30 minute talk, there was no way i could continue sleeping so I got up to check on mom.. chilled with her for a while then she left for work.
It was raining the whole afternoon..so I decided to stay at home instead of heading out to do some shopping on my own. Devoted myself to watching 'MARS' online.. that show is really nice.. should listen to Mariah more often. haha =)
Past lunch time, Jackiee came home. Then all hell broke lose when she started bugging me on which clothes look nice on her. Goodness, she practically ran-sacked our room.
After two hours, she finally got ready and left for the school's concert.
I din want to cook dinner cause I thought my dad was going out for his usual colleague gatherings. In the end, he changed plans and decided to meet me and mom at Eastpoint. Bla bla bla.. had dinner at all. Even went to mend my shoes which I wanted to do for so bloody long. haha =)
Came home, assisted Dad in setting up the HD Starhub box.. I see not much difference but whatever.. haha
Now i'm currently waiting for Jackiee to return home, I heard she's got LOADS of things to tell me about *ahem..
Back to watching MARS.. Zai Zai is waiting!!
hahaha I'm kidding.. =)

God.. I'm in serious pain right now..
It seems like my wisdom tooth is starting to emerge out from the gums and it stings man! Damn pain.. cannot tahan. Have to keep popping ice to make the feeling numb and less painful. Asked dad if I should see the dentist, he said no need.. let the tooth grow out. Word has it that once your wisdom tooth is out, you become wiser.. DOES THIS MEAN I'M MATURED?!? haha =)
And then there's my left arm.. remember I went to take my jab yesterday? It wasn't painful when the needle was in.. but now it hurts! Its damn numb.. i can hardly move my arm or even clench my fist! Jackiee had to made this whole experience alot worse when she kept smacking me at that injected area of my arm. SIAN man..
Anyway, went to CGH for appointment with the doc. So everything's fine, he even recommended me to one of his friends whose also a doc, at Korea. Which is good.. so now I don't have to worry on how I should get my medication, incase I need it. Went to Eastpoint to buy lunch and then came home. Haven't really done much, just the usual cleaning around the house and then cooking for the family.
Friday tomorrow.. Another week is about to end. How frantic..
Night all!
As usual lah, parents are at it again.. pestering me to do this and that which I think is totally POINTLESS. Whatever, they can NAG all they want.. all I gotta do is tolerate their nonsense for another two months and I'm gone! So I'll play nice and at least pretend that I'm listening to them.
I got up earlier than usual today. Quickly did the laundry then got dressed to meet Van and Mariah at Tampines Polyclinic. They both went to consult a doc and requested they take MC.. haha =) I, on the other hand, had to take my injections for influenza and Hepatitis B. Well at least I took one of them? They had to draw out some blood from me to test and see if i've contracted Hep B. MAFAN..
After the doc, went to buy some stuff for lunch back home. Cooked a nice pot of Kimchi soup for my two buddies. Noticed that it hasn't been long since we last had some?? haha.. soon after, Jackiee and Tasha came home for tuition. Bla bla bla.. Van and Mariah took a cab home.
Cooked dinner and waited for parents to return home from work. Then this Father of mine had to spoil my evening by yelling at me, telling me to get a JOB. Like for what sia?? Just because I'm on the com?? Its not like i've been on it the whole fucking day man?! So unreasonable.. here I am, practically guarding the house for u guys, wash ur clothes, cook and clean the house everyday and he says i'm not doing anything in this house?? Is he BLIND or what? Sheesh..
This is the "THANKS" I get for providing the family..At this rate, I should have not volunteered on taking care of the household.. This is so not for me.. when I get to KOREA.. I make sure I get a job, even if it means washing DISHES at a restaurant.
I'm ending my day at bad note.. so goodnight everyone, enjoys yours..
I think i'm getting the 'sniffles' cause I'm having a hard time breathing through my nostrils.. why why why? I cannot get sick man!
Anyway, today being a Sunday.. I was up at 10am for the first time in so long.. had breakfast before helping mom with something in the kitchen. More like preparing food lah.. haha =) Then got ready to attend Mass at Holy Trinity.. Met up with Uncle Mel & family, caught up with them and all.
Stood at the back of the church while mom and dad were sitting down infront, doing what they do best.. PRAY.
Drove over to St.11 coffee shop where we had lunch. Wanted so much to try the food from ASTON'S express.. but decided not to in the end. I'll leave the best for last.. haha
We din know where else to go after that so me and Jackiee suggested we head to Carreffour for some shopping. I made a list of things that I needed to get here before leaving Singapore.. I only managed to get a couple of things. Walked around Suntec, looking for that STARHUB shop.. But made our way into some boutique that sold winter clothes??
And guess what? I already got myself a winter jacket from there since it was a offer. Its seriously not for snow.. more like Fall? haha =) All the things I'm hearing from my dad about COLD weather just irks me. I dunno how the hell i'm gonna survive man! Worse come to worse, I'll just lock myself in my dorm and never come out! Haha..=)
Came back home for dinner that mom and dad cooked. Delicious.. Pork Garam.. one of THE best dishes I've ever had. haha
Watched BATMAN with Jackiee.. so gonna watch the second movie!
I heard that its awesomely good?
I'll be the judge of that.. =)
RIGHT.. bed time now. Goody night!
Helllooo... waiting for some video clip to upload and its taking AGES! haha ..
So anyway, another day of preparation for you-know-what. I'm not exactly doing anything, just thinking about what to get while I'm still here.
Wanna know something funny? I don't even know what I'm suppose to be wearing during winter.. -__-
WHAT?! Its my first time experiencing it?? For the past 19 years its either RAIN or fucking HOT SUN that i'm encountering..Winter was so not in my list at that time.
Mom's not a good help either cause she herself din get the chance to touch snow in 20 years ever since she landed here in Singapore. No choice.. gotta ask the "Professional"
which is my Dad. He's been almost everywhere around the world, I'm sure he's got some knowledge about COLD season. Pfft!
Was suppose to meet Andrea at her place but I had to decline due to last minute cooking for my family. Cooked for just the three of us. Dad's still out, having dinner with the company people so yeah.. Watching THE O.C ( on DVD) with Jackiee.. i think she's in LOVE with that show.. Where were you jackiee??
I'm suddenly craving for Pancakes.. what the hell is the matter with me? haha =)
I shall make some for breakfast tomorrow! Hehehe..
OK show's uploaded.. JA NAE!
I would..? I must be MAD to even sleep at that time all because of the INTERNET.. haha =)
Anyway, last night.. mom started talking about me getting a small place of my own at Korea. Its a big eye opener for me! But after thinking about it the whole day today, I think I wouldn't want to get my own place just yet. Maybe like a year later?? That's if I decided to stay there lah.. Think about it, if I get my own place now, I'll be even more lonely! The only time I get to see "friends" is at school..
Well wadeva, I'm just gonna let mom know that I'll consider getting my own apartment after one year.. now too early! Hahaaha..
Aside from that.. haven been doing much today.. sleeping most of the time. Not sure why, but been feeling so tired these past few days and i've got no energy to do anything! Just what the hell is wrong with me?..
I'm gonna head to bed early.. Night all!
Maybe because I got to spend it with JUST my parents..Jackiee not included. haha =)
Apparently, mom has got something "poky" in her throat and got referred to Changi Hospital for a full check-up. So she took MC from work and all.. but the best part was that daddy took LEAVE too.. Just so he could accompany mom to the hospital.. tsk tsk!
The wonders of being a married couple..
Anyway, they drove back home to pick me up so that we could have lunch outside. Bla bla bla.. after lunch,made our way to Century Square to check out the Japan Fair which was like NOTHING??
Except the food area.. bought some cream puffs from Bread Papa. Extremely delicious! Walked around somemore..mom wanted to find the right pair of shorts for herself but ended up buying clothes for me and dad from GIORDANO. haha =)
Spent another half an hour at Five Stars Travel Agency to inquire on the plane tickets to Korea.. We decided on Korean Air than SIA since its much much cheaper.. Have to return to the agency next week to book it since I'm not sure exactly when I should leave. But i've got this gut feeling its on the 20th.. haha =)
Came home, mom cooked dinner while I logged onto the net. Dad was doing his own thing so I din bother to know.. Jackiee came home a while later..
Have to make a list of things I need to buy!! Anyone wanna help me? haha =)
Numerous questions start to pop up in my head.. Questions like,
- What if I can't communicate with ppl despite having learnt everything?
- What i i don't make FRIENDS!
- How the hell can i get a part time job within the first 4 months after arriving?
- What if I make grave mistakes here and there?
- Do I want to come back to Singapore?
- Do I want to stay in Korea instead?
And the list goes on man..
God! What do I do man? Its driving me crazy.. Since I've got 2 months left here, preparations are sort of happening. Mom's even asking whether I should book my plane ticket or not. I'm nervous as hell! I wish to take my friends with me so I won't feel lonely and all that.. haha =) That was a wishful thinking..
Anyway, aside from that.. been watching a couple of JAPANESE serials online. haha =) I never thought I'd say this, but some Jap guys are fucking hot and adorable. Especially when they're mixed! Like my dear friend Mariah.. haha =)
Right.. gonna check out air-fares online.. trying to see whether go cheap ones. haha =)
Cheerio!
Currently at the airport now with my little sister. We figured why not go out instead of staying at home, doing absoloutely NOTHING. So not the way I would want to spend my Saturday.
Dad woke us up at 10 in the morning.. I don't know why Jackiee could continue sleeping when all this racket is happening in the house.. Well anyway, I got up.. had breakfast with parents then mom got ready to leave the house for work.
Dad forced me to doing all the housework while he cooks his HUGE pot of Spagetthi Sauce and meatballs.. So I did all the laundry, vaccummed the house and cleaned my entire room. DUST FREE.. haha =)
Bummed infront of the telly for a while.. Thank goodness dad couldn't say anything cause I've done my chores.. there's nothing he can do! Washed up, got dressed and then left the house with Jackiee. Took the train to T3, Changi Airport. With all these new shops and all that, I'm wondering whether they built the airport as a AIRPORT or a damn shopping mall?
Whatever.. anyway, got to go now. Next stop, DARREN'S PLACE..
JA NAE!
Got up like freakin 4am with Dad. Drove over to the airport to see my Godma off.. she's finally returning back to the States after staying here for 2-3 months. Not many people were there lah.. I mean HELLO? So damn early in the morning who would want to go? haha =) No lah.. we had an official farewell dinner for her last week so she was able to say her goodbyes. So it was just me, my dad, Aunty Jackiee( not my sis..), my cousin and her husband. By 5am, she went through the gate and it was BON VOYAGE!
She cried abit but made it pass the gate. haha =) Funny shit.
Dad sent Aunty Jackiee back to her place, then came home. Immediately went to sleep and woke up at 3pm. haha =) FIRST TIME.
Slacked infront of the com..and din do anything else. Its kinda of my way of taking revenge on my mom. Din speak to her until just now when she asked where Jackiee was. Let's see how far I can pull this off. Going to Darren's place for dinner tomorrow.. and what can I do in the afternoon?? Sian..
I think I'm gonna sleep now. Tired again..
JA NAE!
Haha =) I'm about to leave the house to go meet someone so I thought I'd update first before I go.
Today has been a pretty fucked up day.. mainly because I couldn't stand my parents anymore. I would like to point directly to my mother who seems to want everything done her fucking way.
Its good enough that I shut up and listen.. but does she do the same for me, one word.. NO!
Like what the hell sia, I did my very best and what more do you want for me? Seriously, if she said I didn't bother to do anything, I wouldn't have done so in the first place. Take a look around.. which other 19 year old daughter would be doing this? I could have taken THAT time.. to go out with friends.. watch a movie, go shopping. But instead, I committ myself to taking care of this UN-APPRECIATIVE family. What the fuck!
I tell myself that there's two more months to go and that's it! I'm done.. I'm focusing on myself for a change. I appreciate that they're working to support me and all, I know.. I get the drift.
What pisses me the most is saying that I din do NOTHING at all.. and that i'm useless in some way or another. My mother should seriously learn to LISTEN instead of bragging about what she wants out of me.
Well, after that extremely heated argument, I just took my keys, iPOD and phone and walked out of the house while they had their dinner. Came back almost 2 hours later.. cause I decided to change and meet someone. Gonna send Aunty Gerry to the airport later at the wee hours of the morning.. see whether i'll be up then or not. haha =)
Okay.. I'm off now. And i'm still fucking upset. I wanna punch someone in the face..
Just imagine.. you have CANCER that your unaware of and you find out that you're at the very last stage and un-curable.. and you haven't got many days left to live.YOUR GONNA DIE! You'll be leaving your family and loves ones.. not being able to witness your young kids grow up and all that. IT'S SO SAD!! I wish it'll never happen to me.. must take care of our bodies people..
Well anyway.. Van, Leeza and Mariah came over my place this afternoon for lunch. Our usual KIMCHI soup fiesta! Obviously it was good..even I enjoyed it despite the fact that I don't really fancy KIMCHI soup. After that we were chillin in the living room, with the air-con turned on.. while watching more Korean Dramas. We, meaning me and Mariah.. would like to invite Vanessa into joining our little club where we find K-Dramas SUPER addictive. haha =) Leeza left to go to school and soon after Mariah too left.
Van was the last to leave cause she's got her date to go for. I'm left to clean up the remains of the house while my sister sleeps like a pig, not helping me one bit! Idiot..
Picked mom up from the bus stop cause it was raining like one Dawg. Sickening.. one minute is fucking hot and then next its raining like there's no tomorrow.. serious Humid going on.
Mom cooked dinner today, weird but it was good. Don't ask what.. haha =)
I'm on a mission to upload all my family photos into the website cause I feel that it shouldn't be kept in one computer for only my immediate family to see. Thought I might wanna share it with the rest of the other family members.. Looking back at them, brings back so many good memories.. haha =)
Show's almost over.. i'm gonna give my full attention now. More updates tomorrow!
Ja Nae..
Just came home from Changi Airport. You're wondering why the hell would I go there for?
haha.. =) I actually took the time away from home, to go meet the girls for dinner since Angelia treated us! * Thanks Angelia.. you're a darling!
Anyway, woke up pretty late this AFTERNOON.. yeap you saw it, Afternoon! Cleaned up the house while Jackiee continued Sleeping.. since she's got no school cause its YOUTH DAY!
So there we were in mom's room.. both of us surfing the net like nobody's business. That's the beauty of Wireless. haha =) Then I quickly went to cook a couple of dishes before taking my shower, dress up and then leave to meet Mariah at Tanah Merah. Obviously she was LATE but not like an hour late. =) Took the train to the airport, found out we were at the wrong terminal so we took the skytrain from T3 to T2. Met Angelia and Van.
Decided to have dinner at Fish and Co. after 20 mins of walking and thinking of what to eat.
Chilled out, ate, drank... yada yada yada. We got drunk there for a moment.. haha =)
Waked out of the restaurant feeling a little woozy and butt freezing! Accompanied Van to meet Ross at the Arrival Hall where he is stationed at his workplace. Hung around, and even applied for a part time job. haha =) took the bus home.
There.. i'm fucking tired. goodnight!

Hello Awesome people!!
TGIF to you all you suckers out there who are working and making a living. Haha =) I'm kidding.. are u having a great day people? Anticipating the weekends right? You should be..
Anyway, I would like to share a piece of news that I myself can't believe I did it..
I, Ms Catherine Anne Nonis has finally completed her course at MDIS..Passed all her subjects (2 subs re-took) with flying colours ..
Finally, she's on her way to obtaining her DIPLOMA in TRAVEL, TOURISM & HOSPITALITY Certificate very soon..Hooray!
No more studying for 'Sup' papers and all that other crap. What a sigh of relief man.. Thought I wasn't gonna make it and therefore, lead my parents to such great disappointment. Thank the LORD for answering my prayers and lead me on the right path, gave me courage and all that other words of wisdom.
Now that I've got that out of the way and striked off my list of accomplishments, I can concentrate on my next chapter.
Work my way on getting that Degree Cert in Korean Language. It'll be my ULTIMATE GOAL from now on.. Which is why I've decided to do some studying here before I make my way there and not make a fool of myself. PREPARATION.. ya, that's the word.
I'm off to bed now.. With a HUGE smile on my face =)
Goodnight!
So HELLO July?! A brand new month begins..
Celebrated Mom and dad's anniversary on Tuesday, in the most unusual and unexpected way.. had dinner at Seoul Garden. Seriously, I go there countless times with Mariah and now I'm beginning to get pretty sick of it. Haha =)
Oh did I mention that I went to the Korean Embassy to get my VISA done? Pfft! What a waste of my time.. have to go there again in a few weeks to send in the application. Sian..
Yesterday was a total bore.. stayed at home doing nothing. I managed to watch some Korean movies online.. I don't know why, but every one of them made me cry like shit. Goodness.. their story line is just way too DRAMATIC for me.
Parents came home from work with black expressions on their faces. Bad day I suppose? Whatever..just don't vent your anger on me cause I might make HUGE commotion out of it.. especially when I din do nothing.
TODAY.. nothing new. Just that I had this damn weird dream about something and someone, which made me got up instantly..like as if it was a terrible nightmare. I broke out cold sweat man! Hmmmm.. i think I'm gonna buy 4-D tomorrow. It could be a sign??
Alright then, main issue of the day.. did anyone catch the movie, " You don't Mess with the Zohan "?
If you happened to watch it online, you're damn smart..like MARIAH i presume.
If you caught it at the theaters... idiots! You just wasted your money on this Low star rated movie.. -___-
Seriously.. Adam Sandler should have just sticked to things he know.. This is the first movie with him in it, that I din enjoy. AND I'M A FAN of his.. damn, this is upsetting. haha =) Thank god I din watch it at the cinema.. I would have walked out halfway through the movie..
Well this is it then. Tomorrow's a Friday.. every working civilian's favourite day.
Update again tomorrow.. Hopefully??
CHAO!
