Baka a.k.a Paboya updates:
HELLOOOOOOOOOO!! I'm back from Paris and it wassssssss fantastic! I wish u guys were there with me! ESP @ DisneyLand! i wanted to grab all of u all and teleport all of u to see the real life princesses (by the way they weren't that beautiful lol) and it was so fun takin all the rides, even if it meant standing in the queue for an hour plus, still the minute plus ride was still very very satisfactory!
We spent 2 days, not consecutively at Disneyland as it was simply too big and had too much things to see so we bought the 2 day pass to go to the Disney Studio as well~ we sat on Dumbo, spinning teacups, Aladdin's carpet ride and yea i know its kiddish but their rides weren't that exciting either except for the Space Mountain, which had a 360 deg rollarcoaster ride in the dark! woohoo! that one i took twice man... totally awesome. still i wana go Blackpool to their very acclaimed adrenaline rides to try it out for myself. hmm maybe next month, i'm too booked for this month man... week 8 report is due next week too... crap!
Apart from that, french guys are hot. i duno which naughty person brain-washed me telling me french are like dorks and they all look crappy but whoever that person is, you're totally wrong! they are hot hot and i mean HOT!!! gosh! now i'm seriously thinking of having fren-wanese (french/taiwanese) kids! hahahaa yea my dream of having (jap-wanese) kids may be in jeopardy but hey, maybe i could have fren-jap-wanese kids? that'll be cool wouldn't it? i was just chatting with yvette when she mentioned that if you truly desire to have a foreign boyfriend you would most probably get one because it happened to her sis, who didn't want to get a singaporean boyfriend and she ended up happily with a hong kong-rean and her ballet teacher who also wanted a foreign boyfriend and in the end she married an american and had beautiful kids! awwww i wish my kids would be as beautiful as that! hehe but then again, they ALSO say the things you definitely don't want happening would definitely happen to you. hence, i shall not dwell on the baby topic any longer coz i'm not even capable of earning my own living yet! hrmph...
alrighty, i will post the paris and manchester pics up as soon as i get the names sorted out (u noe, naming pics are a real CHORE) and besides i have hundreds of them! ARGHHH haha well do enjoy my post at the mean time...
btw, CONGRATS to kareen, gdine and shufang for passing the auditions! may you all excel in the cncert itself as well!
loads of love and huggies

Hmm. Another post. What should i write? seriously, i fins it hard to condense everything that has happened these past days into 1 single entry, coz i'm sure you guys dun like to read long and boring entries right?
Anyway, i arrived at Manchester on saturday and i must say, the weather here is much worse than in leicester. First there was rain, then there was wind... then came hailing snow balls the size of a pin ball. scary eh? but i must say, today the weather rox as it was sunny the entire day! woohoo! so i went to shop around a bit, but we spent most of the day settling the train tickets and getting ourselves around the town and taking the ferris wheel! gosh, i spent most of the time in the ferris wheel taking pictures instead of listening to the person explaining about the buildings and their histories! hehehe
oh man.... i realised manchester is actually such a stressful city. sure they have nice buildings, handsome guys, gorgeous women.. but you know, i am sure glad i wasn't posted to manchester! everyday i wake up to see my room surrounded by buildings and everywhere i go its buildings after buildings! there's no scenary except for churches, ancient clock towers and although there are parks, there isn't any like that of the victoria park in leicester! (not that i know of) Stillm altho they have delicious chinese food and almost a chinese restaurant in every corner of the street, i cannot imagine myself studying there! i believe i would be more home sick and confined.
leme tell u more about the dorm. there are the pros and cons. firstly, the dorm i am staying at (so is joanna, debra and siti) is called the CONNISTON HALL located hathersage road about 45mins walk from the station. the exterior may not be grand but eh interior is very nicely decorated. breakfasts and dinner are served daily and additional lunches on weekends. the room is cozy and the bed is lovely. Also, the shower room is clean and toilets are spick and span. washing of laundry is free and also everyday they clean the room 10-11am. like EVERYDAY 10-11 so i have to get out of the room and slack around for 1 hr! arghhhhh then comes the bad part. there is actually no key for ur door! lol so anyone can just pop into ur room and steal ur things! but luckily here everyone knows one another (i think there are only 37 females living the dorm right now). then, there is a curfew! ohmygawdddd like since when is there a curfew in uk dorms? but this one has... and it's at 10.30pm so that means if you go clubbing or somewhere else and return after that time, good luck. no one will help you open the door man, you're seriously locked out for the entire night. then, next point. you also have no key for the main door. even if you're back within the allowed timing, you still need to press the bell and wait for someone to help you open the door! like rats! >_< wad if everyone is at prayer? or no one heard the bell? -_- then good luck to you also, just stand there like an idiot and wait for someone to help you open the door.. hehe but the good thing is you have to sign in and out everyday when you leave so they can keep track of who is not back at the dorm.
hah! last but not least the TV room. you know, i was so thrilled to hear that they have a tv in the resting room! but it's LOCKED. yea, locked. hahah and i heard from some dorm mate that if you wana watch tv u have to specify to them wad channel u wana watch! like OHMYGAWDDDD do they think we're gona switch to porn or something?? haha
nontheless, despite all the flaws, i've made a couple of new friends! A japanese friend, chinese friends and spanish ones! muahaha and also, during my spare time i'm gona read up some german language book i got from the newspapers and try to pick up a new language! other than that, i'm sleeping most the time... hehe
well, there goes a long entry! hope u all dun fall asleep...

It wasn't over...... and it still hasn't.
i just saw this movie - " THE NOTEBOOK" and i have to say i am distraught. I don't know whether i am sad, or i simply feel the same way about myself. Will i ever have a love like that? is there really someone out there who is willing to do this for me? even though this story maybe just fiction, it makes me wonder, ponder, think, fantasize... whatever. I look into ryan gosling's eyes and i am enchanted. perhaps i am even captured by his looks, his boyishness... you know, i fell for him back in 1999, when i was in vancouver and this show called "BREAKER HIGH" was quite a popular drama then. Since i was so bored i watched almost every single episode of it at night. I would stare and dream about him, because back then he was already so dead sexy and cute. It made me wonder if i could get a boyfriend or have a trashy love romance during the time i was in canada. sadly, none of those happened. i even embarrassed myself infront of my brother, because i replied his friend with this line after he invited us to his birthday.
"Thank you for this BEAUTIFUL night". seriously, i might have had a crush on him, but i think that line totally destroyed any chances i might have. plus, it was just a night out at the VIP box at the N'SYNC concert and i was, IN FACT the ONLY teenage girl in their VIP box. I was then wearing a really out of date wind breaker, with a TARE PANDA sling bag. oh my god. why did i even want to think i could have a boyfriend with that kind of dressing? I even had my infamous THICK hairband (which i did wear until sec 3..PLUS i had centre parting...)
Perhaps now that i am older, i keep telling myself to be more realistic. i know that my prince charming is not going to appear just because i dreamed that he would, or that anyone could love me for just the way i am. These are illusions and there are more than 4 billion people in the world. Am i supposed to believe i can find the one person, who i love, and can love me for just the way i am?
Sometimes i really wish i was an actress. If i was an actress, i could kiss all those actors i fancy when i am filming with them. I could even harbour a crush on them and have it turn real, like what katie holmes experienced. Every day i tell myself that there is some guy out there that COULD perhaps, just perhaps fancy a girl like me with so many faults and love me for who i am. Still, 19 years have passed and nothing of that sort happened. My entire life is filled of dreams, fantasies, fairy-tale like stories and dramas that i have yet to come to terms with. I need an exciting life, i need the motivation, some person to tell me to carry on with my life. I watch as my brother had a girlfriend, and then very tragically break up. He had a long distance relationship, and up till now, he refuses to tell me the reason of their break up. He emphasizes that i will only understand when i have a boyfriend. BUT HOW? WHEN will i know? What if i never find the one for me? What if i just keep missing such opportunities and remain a spinster? All i know is, when i look at the sky, day or night, the first thing that pops into my mind is to share this image with someone i love. Anything i fancy, like for example, the beautiful cherry blossoms outside my dorm, the birds singing, the sun shining and the clear cloudless sky - all of these, i want to share with the one i dearly love.
Now i am a miserable woman who is drinking orange vodka in my dorm room, blogging and starring at the screen, hoping that during the time i get drunk, maybe ryan gosling would pop out of the screen and give me a huge kiss. But then again, i may just plonk out and wake up next morning. Nevertheless, 1 thing i know for sure is that i want a true relationship. You may never know, the friend you know, that is me, could very well marry the first guy she meets. I am tired of pulling strings for everyone else other than me. I deserve something better. I need something more exciting...
But all i want right now...................................................................
is to have someone i cherish.

Baka a.k.a Paboya updates:
Hi all. it just seems that i have a neck for blogging while working. this ain't right! but hey, it's better than blogging in the dorm and having to put up with 56k internet dial up access!
first of all - the easter break dance party on 31st march. fantastic. the entire percy gee building (equivalent to ngee ann's atrium) + block 1 was opened to parties and a massive amount of people turned up to be one of the biggest events of the year. in fact, i had my face decorated (nah, just make up) by my hungarian friend and yvette. The strange thing was, they put purple and pink make up for my eye shadows, red rouge for my cheeks (as if me face wasn't redder than a baboon's butt already from the vodka) and mascara for the eyes. oh, i forgot to mention yvette's expensive lip gloss which costs i think SGD$24 for a 10ml tube? bloody hell! but damN its good!
So after the make up we head to the kitchen to have a mini party where i drank 2 cups of wine with fruits (i forgot the name for that) and also 1 bottle of 5% lime vodka. you can imagine what colour my face was! it was serious - PURPLE. then while i was talking to the french girls, we sorta had this nice talk about guys and stuff, when my fren claire told me about this reALLy upsetting story about her one-sided and purely physical relationship! gosh. and that guy was just sitting right next to me!! still, i didnt wana cause a ruckus so i striked up a conversation with him. so he's a cambodian and lived in france all his life. great. another target for me to practise my french with. so i can't really remember what i was gona say to him in french but i know when i did that, a HUGE blot of spit came right out with it, and of course he was obviously stunned and reacted as if larva had been spilt on him! LOL but hey, later when he replied me he spitted too! so you can imagine what kind of situation we were in man.... spitting to and fro...
we left the kitchen party slightly earlier coz we had to sign in at the sch's building to get tickets to the party. there was a chocolate fountain at the red fearn pub and we all had 1 free ticket to eat choco fondue. and my gosh, when we got there, the queue for the choco fondue was F***ing long! of course it remained that way until we went home (around 2am)
sad to say, the entire night was full of guys and girls but i only spotted 1 guy whom i thought was cute. he was dressed in this sailor uniform and he had the most gorgeous eyes ever!! like greenish sorta translucent look that could pierce thru your eyes... awwwww but he was too wasted when he approached us for a lighter for his ciggy.... but still, he was adorableeeeee~~~
during the party my hungarian fren (edina) was dancing furiously and very very (may i say) sexily so eventually me and yvette had to move away coz we were like robots there! many guys approached her to dance with her and AW GAWDDDD i could just see the LUST in their eyes when they were dancing and talking to her. NEVER in my life did i feel so disgusted with guys before!! and gosh there was this indian/arabic looking guy who was staring at her throughout her dance and he made lecherous looks at her!! i almost puked right infront of him!
The worse thing was, edina (my hungarian fren) felt the guys sucked at dancing but she did find jon (a norwegian) pretty interesting, charming and blah so she danced with him and talked with him. unknown to her, my other german friend was seriously in love with jon and was seething and freaking pissed off when they got along! well that goes for friendship within the dorm. then eventually when jon kissed edina, edina told me he had an erection! ew!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *pukes a million times* and awwww u can imagine how heart-broken my german fren was!!! luckily, after a big fight later they resolved everything and they were back to being friends... they realised it wasn't worth to throw everything away for a guy! and i totally agree. no matter how much u like that guy, y throw away a friendship just for that spur of the moment?
anywayz, i dont know what i am talking about now. i dun feel well and i wana go back to sleep. i hope i am not gettin sick coz i'm going to manchester this sat!! awwww and by the way, york was fantastic! made a new korean friend called so-yeon and gosh we do hit along very well! ^_*
well now i'm going to pack and go back. cheerios~
