yes you read it right.. its all about PICTURES today. haha. i have pictures from the bbq/chalet with the ex 2/8 gang, pictures taken today during the whole qing ming visit (WE WAITED FOR LIKE 2 HOURS TO GET IN AND AN HOUR TO GET OUT) and of course, some RANDOM pictures from my computer. (be prepared.. this is one of the longest posts..)

LAUNDRY. I SEE NOTHING BUT LAUNDRY. can you imagine? the moment i woke up (thanks to squid) i went straight to the porch to the laundry. yawwn. i have a whole pile of clothes to fold and iron. yaay. Maid vanny, REPORTING FOR DUTY. haha.

anyways i have a doctors appointment later. and in case you were thinking, didn't she go last week? yeah well i went. and turns out mum gave me the wrong date. it was supposed to be today. so malu right! mum can laugh at me somemore. haha. she good. oh well. after that im going for a BBQ with the old 2/8 gang. this would be fun! =)

I just realised today that im not the only who likes BIG MIRRORS. my dear squid over here LOVES THEM TOO. VAIN POT! haha.

aside from that, had lunch with wei qi today. it was great catching up! we should do it again someday. =)

im like stuck at home now. i have a doctor's appointment later at 1pm. hai. til then i have nothing to do at home. haha. yesterday went to accompany arthur to tp to settle some admin stuff. then in the noon, went swimming at squids place, but only for a short while. it rained abit. WHY IS IT WHEN I WANT TO SWIM, IT RAINS? grr. so while waiting for the rain to stop, we watched Step Up. my my, after watching it, my opinion that Step Up is better than Step Up 2 still stands. haha. so after that we had dinner at squid's grandma's place with his sis and grandma. xue bought a polaroid camera! its so cute man. haha. the picture comes out from the top of the camera too. X)

had a meeting in the morning. we managed to tie up some loose ends and plan for a new camp! yes yes, while it all sounds fun, it just means more work (oh boy..). well just stay tuned to this page to find out more. haha.

so after that met darren, leo, wei shayng, col, yiru, squid and YA to watch Step Up 2. the movie was like okay lah. didn't really think that it was as nice as the previous one. haha. to me, the dance scenes were a TAD bit boring, there wasnt much of a WOW factor for me. i mean its just hip hop. the old one had a fusion of hip hop and ballroom dances, which made it VERY ORIGINAL. haha.

so after the movie, we decided to go walk walk around. from the cathay, we walked all the way to shaw house and then wheelock place. there was this book at Boarders that col showed us, which was called ORACLE LOVE. the reader is to ask a question regarding your love life, while holding the book closed. then after asking, they are to randomly flip the book open. the page that you are at is supposedly an answer to your question. pretty interesting, and abit accurate? haha. col, yiru and me gave it a try. the guys were hopeless with it, asking totally RANDOM stuff. haha.



And, BOYS WILL BE BOYS. all 5 of them were caught staring at the toys from a toy shop..



after walking and walking, YA left and then we somehow landed at far east and decided to have Carl's Junior. then darren and yiru left. so the rest of us just wandered around aimless in taka. it was only at 9.30, that we decided to leave.

on a final note (a picture taken on the bus)..

alrighty so today was family day. accompanied bro to cut his hair. i tell you man, that boy is really vain. even more vain than me lah! hah. but mum was kinda like irritated when she saw that his hair was not even as short as he wanted it to be. haha. oh wells. anyways he has a competition tomorrow. good luck boy! make those 4 months worth of trainings worth it! haha. =)




so after that we headed down to tm to catch some movies. this is like the standard leong family activity. haha, we are movie buffs. so ryan and mum watched Leap years cause they were too scared to watch Rule #1 with dad and me.

i tell you, that show is some freaky shit man. but it totally rocks. the storyline is interesting and has this totally unexpected ending. my props to kelvin tong. he has seriously come a long way from his old movie, The Maid, which is also equally good. he has really outdone himself. haha.

so rule #1 is that there is no such thing as ghosts.. my version is that rule #1, HIDE BEHIND YOUR DAD'S (or boyfriend, if he is around. mine wasnt though. how sad!) SHOULDER AND COVER YOUR EARS. haha. thats what i did. it was so freaky that even at one scene, i actually screamed out. haha. hey i wasn't the only one kk! there were other girls screaming too. i rate this show 4 out of 5 stars. go check it out people. =)

oh and a word of advice to those thinking of watching.. never assume! heh heh. oh and cover your ears. the background music is FREAAKY. totally makes the show scary.

yes you heard it right, i, vanessa leong foong leng, has decided to get off my incredibly CHUBBY arse to go and find a job. haha. the sudden motivation to do this was cause of my rapidly dwindling funds and sheer boredom.

so this morning, i met up with chel and her friends at T3. before her friends came, chel and i had like an amazaing adventure around T3. haha. talk about morning exercise. then we went to apply for jobs at CANDY EMPIRE (we met cassie who was working there.), COLETTE (they sell kids shoes that are oh-so-adorable!) and SPORTS LINK. haha. we were saying that we will see which one offers the highest paying. but of course, im hoping that il get candy empire. i wanna work in a candy shop! =)

well so by the time we were done, it was like close to 1 plus. so i had no choice but to cancel out on shopping with candy (sorry girl! maybe another time yeah?) and we headed down to tm. oh and something interesting happened, MY DEAR RACHEL TAN'S WEDGES STRAPS GAVE WAY. haha so the poor thing was doing an impersonation of MAS SALAMAT, except she was limping on the right leg. HAHA. sorry girl, i SO had to blog bout this. heh heh.

after paying a visit to the cobbler's, both of us and her friend, Ilyana, went to have pizza hut and then just walked around and talked. it was kinda fun. we tried to settle someone's problems eh? *wink wink* key word, TRIED. haha. after that i headed off to meet the family at mum's office. whew. what a day. and i DO hope i get the job, though im planning to work til end april. haha.

i know i love the rain. i really do. but when it rains non stop for days and especially when im doing outdoor activities, it gets irritating.

like today, a few of us (leo, wei sheng, col, hoon, cheryl, kang, squid and me) headed to yishun to rock climb. the weather looked promising in the morning, with the sun up high in the sky. but then towards noon, it started to pour. grr. so we were squashed in the bouldering room with a group of victoria jc rock climbers. haha. my arms and fingers took a beating today. seriously.

so after like almost 3 hours plus, we headed off to a coffee shop nearby and had a late lunch. then we all just sat around and talked about our next outing and the results. haha. after that, we all went our seperate ways. leo, squid and i headed to tm to get leo's tights for swimming.

-Leo, "AAH, HOW TO BREATHE? ITS SO TIGHT!"

"so leo, what kind of tights do you wanna get?" "THE TIGHT KIND." HAHA. okay abit random. but it was fun seeing the guys shop for tights. like girls shopping for bikinis, except slightly different. haha.

okay took some pictures today, check it out yeah. =)

And finally..

He gave her roses, she gave him a basketball. HAHA.
