他一定是個魔術師.
因為他,
沿途上看似不起眼的事物被附屬了新生命.
因為他,
枯燥乏味的文字變得美麗.
你這個聰明的鬼才.
受不了...
我不由自主地再一次喜歡上了這個人.

"hoi! where's your birthday entry arh??!"
yes i heard you! :) presenting.. My Smashing Birthday Part I (part II will take me some time 'cause i'm still in the midst of editing the video, heh! tooooo bad, i'm a procrastinator!)
13th nov
my uni friends met up at BK to discuss exam case. and tada! surprised me with a cake! :) appreciated their effort to get something for me despite the crazy mugging period.
very yummy cake from Swissbake
afterwhich, i had a great dinner with my family. sometimes it's the quality time spend with your loved ones that matters. it's the simplest thing that's usually neglected, isn't it?

post exam celebration! woohooo! my another uni clique had our usual post-exam fun + birthday celebration for the 2 november babies. by the way, our lunch at marina square pizza hut was one of my favourite restaurant service experiences. they are really attentive to your needs! i'm really surprised by their high service standard. pampering!
writing on the birthday tag card in front of the birthday girls! haha.
felicia slotting the tag card in..
presenting the gift ceremony
mystery gift :)
fantastic 5 ♥
then it was open-present time.. witness how my face glowed flushed-red in 10 seconds.
"ok... a gothic hello kitty bag.. alot of accessories, unusual ones i don't have..."
"wei! that's NOT the main point!!"
"??"
...
"hey wait... what's this hot pink polka-dotted thingy?"
"oh my goshhhh! it's a saucy underwear!"
"and i'm holding this in PIZZA HUT! arrrrr!" *flushed red* i haven't seen myself this red before, other than those sickening 2.4 km run back in JC days.
"woah, another one.. WONDER WOMAN. hurhur." (calmed down, still red, this time round)
ok i reckon you'll be sick of seeing my face in a series of pics, here's a yummy christmasy pizza for you to drool look.
what surprised both of us was that my thoughtful friends actually bought us cupcakes! how sweet.
making my third grand birthday wish on my third birthday cake.
presents galore from my wonderful friends:
ok, my friends want me to be a "sexy babe". lol. that's.. tough!
this post came really late but.. i still want to thank you for your effort :) my 21st is made special because of you~ love you guys to bits!!
xoxo with love ♥♥

it's 2:38am, and i'm not sleeping
perhaps i've got the excessive adrenaline while desperately trying to finish a reflection journal due 1 feb, 2359. i finally submitted the journal at 2345. great. heck, i wasn't even reflecting!
i've received quite a number of negative vibes from people around me, including myself. why, year 2008 didn't start the way as smoothly as i thought it could be.
on a positive note, we are gathering strength from setbacks. we'll fight on :) it's always great to have friends supporting you along the way - for that, i'm thankful.
chinese new year is round the corner (*gasp, it's february already!) and i've prepared absolutely nothing. chinese new year no longer excites me like how it did when i was a child. i'm less obsessed with the thought of wearing everything (i mean everything) new.
thinking of which, chinese new year has always prove to be a fashion disaster to me. i mean, how on earth to get clothes you fancy and wearable within that short 1/2 days of shopping? the random mix-and-matches always fail me. sigh. thus explain why most of my cny clothes never see light after new year.
3 years ago, i wore these:
a Giordano denim jacket (which i set my eye on for days, thinking whether to get it or not 'cause it was nearing 50 bucks *if i'm not wrong*) + a "Maui Princess" spaghetti top in white + multi-function skirt from FEP + red beaded necklace from Hula & Co. BAHHHHH.
2 years ago, i wore these:
brown blazer + 77th street top (30 bucks i suppose) + Joop brown skirt (40 over dollars i think! a stupid brown frilly skirt!) + random bead necklace i bought from NTU bazaar. 75% of them never see light again. (my mj friends: i still love the blazer, please do not be misunderstood, if you were)
last year, i wore these:
i really don't know what's wrong with me. i ended up tearing the black bow and laces and wore it as a silver based pumps for an event (which was MONTHS later). i went on to tear it even further to a white (in fact, off white 'cause it was dirty after the months) pair of pumps. that lasted me for quite some time.
believe me, these are the more "see-able" pics already. the others (strangely, we take less pics during cny gatherings.. must be too busy gambling), as i browsed through my picture folder. goodness. i would have deleted it if it doesn't contain memories.
i guess the worst was quite a few years back. i remember vividly that i wore something really ridiculous. a blue blouse + a really loose wrap denim skirt kind of thing. i even had a BLUE hairclip to go with. damn, i still thought i looked really preppy to be a teacher-like image then.
damn, no wonder i'm still single. i'm such a weirdo oh my goodness! -_- hopefully this year, less enthusiasm for cny shopping would help *cross fingers*.
i'm posting these up because i reckon sometimes, you need someone to ridicule at. i can't fathom myself (then) either.
p/s: great, it's 3:32 am now. night world.

if you've read my previous entry...
don't worry.
i've snapped out of my childish-ness.
the previous post almost felt like a whine - a little girl's kicking a fuss over a tiny setback in her life.
i look at the entry with distaste.
this is definitely not the furthest i can stretch. i know.
it turned out that he was really offering a rather random birthday greeting. i finally remembered he couldn't make it for my mini birthday gathering then.
arh, huiting. your boyfriend is so random. *slaps forehead

and so...
this is how it tastes like.
the taste of failure..
darn bittersweet.
i'm too used to things happening the way where i'm in control.
and there, everything which shouldn't go wrong, went wrong. in fact, there was no way i could refute whatever you said.
perfect. perfectly wrong.
but im glad i've learnt it the hard way.
shu juan, 21, tasted her first failure in her life.

Last 2007 Post!
Can you believe it? The year is ending AGAIN! *Gasp
Time flies in a flash!
I chose not to go out this year 'cause I'm really sick of bad crowds.
Anyway...
A list of the new/interesting stuff I've done this year:
*Took a pic for NUS Charity Drive
*Directed my TVC project (very last minute though)
*Indulging in online shopping!
*Ate for the first time at Changi Village
*Ate durians in the night bazaar (had a hard time prying open durians too)
*Became a student interviewer
*Internship in an IMC company
*Someone drew a picture of me
*Showered with great lobangs, thanks to my PA company
one of my favourite events :)
*Japanese tourist wanted to take a pic with me!
*Been to the new club for quite a number of times, due to jobs/just to have fun
*Appeared on Mumtazz, due to job too. (Guess my internship has given me a whole different exposure) + Drinking different types of alcohol concoctions, discovering Bloody Mary isn't really our cup of tea
*Took up an assignment for SPH omy website
*Trying out house calls for pedicure
*Realise Clara does the best pedicure package, comforting footscrubs to the max!
*I wonder why, but I was approached by this guy (uni student he claimed) while I was crossing the road at Orchard area. He was very interested in the textbook I was holding (or it seemed) and kept asking me school related matters (as far as I remember). We talked for a while after we crossed the road and parted. But of all places, would you approach a girl/guy crossing the road about school matters? What a strange encounter.
*Ate steamboat in open area (And I guess I ate steamboat for the most number of times this year - CNY eve/Rainbow's treat/Colleagues' treat/Lisi's treat/Bugis/Jiemin's treat)
*Participated in competition (still on-going)
*Friends I hardly keep in contact with called/sms-ed me for Christmas countdown. 受宠若惊!
*Baked cookies for the first time!
*Went for Nth number of 21st birthday celebrations
*Had four birthday celebrations (details up soon, as you've seen from the Sneak Preview) for myself
*Bouquet of lovely gerberas, thanks to Jiemin :):)
*Finally joined Facebook (after being coerced by Jiemin since Uni Year 1 :p)
*Had a hard time recovering from being an escapist. I should be doing fine.. I hope.

2008 will be a much challenging year for me. Last semester, graduation, jobs.. But other than the paper chase, I'd like to..
*Procrastinate less
*Do more events
*Learn a language
*Learn to cook something, so that I can teach Jiemin (and in turn she'll learn 2 new dishes to teach me!)
xxx
A happy 2008 to you! Cheers~

omg, too much backlog!
there're just too many things happening this december! :)
oh yes, just wondering if anyone experienced déjà vu before? its always the case where i dreamt about something and experienced it real life, some time later. really freaky! omg. but if that's the case.. i don't mind if the nice dreams turn out to be a reality eventually! muahahahaha!
anyway, I KNOW HOW TO BAKE COOKIES! muahahahaha! just imagine a girl who last stepped into the kitchen with a RECIPE was when she was having her home economics practical?
yesthatwaslikeatleastsevenyearsago.
...
excited to learn something new + interesting, i pestered jiemin to teach me how to bake when she's back from US.
jiemin + "you what?!" face
mingshu wants to learn too!
名师出高徒！
the ingredients needed for cookie baking: butter block, brown sugar, white sugar, plain flour, eggs, vanilla essence, baking soda, baking powder, not forgetting.. chocolate chips! the amount of each ingredient will differ for different types of chocolate chips.
basically, you just need to mix all the ingredients into the mixer bowl with all the correct proportion! just like this:
mingshu kept complaining that it's very tiring to mix everything together. just treat it as a time to tone muscles lor! exercise while baking :)
presenting our Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies Batch #1 - SUCCESS! wooohoooooooo! yummy to the max!!
we kept baking.. and we have 2 types of choc chip cookies! mint choc + semi sweet choc.
the whole tray of cookies
accomplished!!
we packed cookies into 4 containers and still have alot lor! mingshu and i took 2 containers each. and before i could share with my friends, the cookies were WIPED OUT by my family in 2 days lor. see? it's yummy! :):)
that ends my cookie baking day! :)
bake some cookies next time? i'd love to.. but i only have a miserable toaster. sigh. let me explore things i can "bake" with my toaster yeah? haha
did i make you hungry for some cookies? i'm sure i did! yum.
