today was my mums and squid's mums birthday. haha. coincidence eh? after school today, we went to have dinner at seafood paradise. it was quite a big meal. haha. had 2 crabs, prawns, fried rice and all that. whew. am super full now. anyways will post pictures taken during dinner.








anyways i think im coming down with a sore throat. sigh. you that feeling when you get when its like super dry and no matter how many times you drink water, it still hurts? yeah. that feeling. ouch. i hate it.

i just want to sleep and not wake up. i suddenly feel childish and just wanna escape from reality. thanks MEI YAN and RACHEL for listening and advising me when i needed it. oh and mei yan my luv, the bunny tooth thing so works. haha, and to SQUID, thanks for listening, helping me, believing in me and loving me. =)

Your Daily Tarot Card Reading: The Hermit

The Hermit represents the need to distance yourself from the people and events in your life that are causing undue strain on your emotions. There are times in your life when seclusion and isolation are warranted. The Hermit is a card of discovery and enlightenment, which can only develop by spending time alone with your thoughts. Your energy will be depleted quickly in social situations.

wow i wish i could do that. haha. but no time no time! projects, assignments and exams! wahhh! oh and i signed up for stan chart today too! but il be doing the 10k again. haha. figured that i wont have as much time to train for a full 21k. Race ID: 17022-SIN-10W-OLC. alrighty, bring it on vanny! time to beat that old timing of yours. heh heh.

anyways, had a talk with jian yu BEST FWENZ about certain stuff. haha. dude, i totally get what you're saying. it totally sucks to feel that way man. and i must say i agree. i can take criticisms and all, but sometimes it hurts. im not saying that you must sugar coat everything you tell me. lets just put it this way..

i dislike being looked down on and being put down, especially when you tell me that i can't do it without even giving me a chance.

so there. you have just got to know another side of vanny.

SENTOSA TRAINING vs INCOMPLETED PROJECTS/ASSIGNMENTS/MASK.

hmmmmm.

yes that's my dilemma for the whole of yesterday. sigh. and surprise surprise, i chose projects/assignments/mask. but i feel extremely bad. like i havent been to sunday training for ages. and that is totally bad. BUT on the other hand i have yet to start on my other assignments except understanding art and management of air cargo, WHICH IS BAD TOO. sigh. i better make enought time to actually go sentosa next sunday.

aside from that dilemma, i had an interesting morning. bro hauled my arse outta bed to throw out all the pots of plants outside my house. now, whoever who has been to my house would totally understand why i say its HARD LABOUR. i have like a total of 4 small pots and 4 big arse pots. and it sucks cause the moment we lifted them up, mozzies flew EVERYWHERE. omg. i had 3 bites. well at least now the space outside my house is much cleaner. haha.

alrighty, thats all for now, back to work.

without a doubt, whenever i am upset or down, the squid monster sure knows how to cheer me up. i should really learn to control my temper and not to throw tantrums (okay, i sound like a kid). but whatever it is, i just wanna say, I LOVE YOU. :D

i know i can be a total bitch sometimes but thanks for putting up with me, and surprising me. *big, cheesy, stupid, idiotic, toothy, wide smile*

anyways i attended the APEC workshop with the others today, skipping all classes (HAH, GOT LOA TO SKIP CDS). it was supposed to be for the top 15 students of the AMS cohort, but i somehow managed to go as i was president of Blackbox. haha. as what mr abbas puts it, "BEING PRESIDENT HAS ITS ADVANTAGES." hahaha. so true. so lucky me, got to go. the food there rocks, and the topics discussed there was okay i guess. abit hard to understand at first, but i had 2 translators sitting next to me (abbas and sumarni). HAHA.

oh and training today was equally gruelling as monday, except that the 5 by 200m sprint with flippers was killer as we had to complete each 200m within 4 minutes. whooo. freaking tired. but then again, as what sam said, no matter how shitty trainings are, its the team that doesnt make things feel so bad. we joke, laugh and even SING. hahaha. =) i love my team.

okay gotta go hit the sack, need to be at orchard hotel at 8.30am. omg. what an ungodly hour.

What Vanessa Means

You are very hyper. You never slow down, even when it's killing you. You're the type of person who can be a workaholic during the day... and still have the energy to party all night. Your energy is definitely a magnet for those around you. People are addicted to your vibe. You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic "Type A" personality. You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people. You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts. You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals. You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together. You are the total package - suave, sexy, smart, and strong. You have the whole world under your spell, and you can influence almost everyone you know. You don't always resist your urges to crush the weak. Just remember, they don't have as much going for them as you do.
