I love my house toilet!

Ok, not true at all. I went to the toilet at least 7 times since evening time, right after I came home from my mum's friend house. This is bad.

I don't know if it was food poisoning, stomach flu or just because I had constipation for the past few days. The symptoms were kinda different from my past experience. It's really horrible to have stomach pain first, then my eyes teared and i rubbed them so hard that they became red and swollen, get a sore throat and runny nose with watery discharge. Yucks.

Can i have fever instead, please?? =(

The baby girl who belonged to my mum's friend daughter is so cute, not very pretty though. Haha. I carried her for awhile, the feeling is so nice.. and motherly HAHA. But my hand ache after sometime, no strength to carry her already zzz. And yea, i think i can communicate well with babies because we have the same interests. WE LOVE POOH BEAR. And her cot looks so warm and welcoming with all the colourful toys inside, and a soft pillow. I wish my bed is a cot with my pooh darlings inside it. Meow..~~

Mabell's Survival Guide (to increasing living costs) 2008

At home:

1. Switch off unnecessary lights in the day. For e.g. using the toilet.

2. Help out with household chores in your free time. (You don't have to employ a maid already! =p)

3. Cooking: Buy cheaper ingredients from NTUC (their in-house brands) but do check the quality of food too!

4. Find lower cost substitutes. For e.g. buy simple furniture from IKEA rather than from high-end shops.

In school:

1. Don't fill your stomach with too much food. Go for Malay rice (for MJC ppl), it's cheap and good! Hahaha!!

2. Buy stationaries in bulk. For e.g. foolscap paper and pen refills.

3. Make full use of school facilities. For e.g. Use the library printer to print your work (Bring your own papers) and borrow school books instead of buying (I regretted buying my textbooks).

At workplace:

1. Bring your own lunch or snack instead of eating outside. It's healthier too. But not sure if it's feasible unless you're working alone.

2. Bring umbrella to work/school in case of rain. You can still walk in light rain, so you can save transport costs (taking bus for one stop only).

3. Do not keep buying new clothes for work, especially if you receive peanut pays. (I'm always tempted to buy.) It's ok to wear the same clothes. =x

4. Find the lowest cost route to your workplace! =D

Shopping outside:

1. Do not buy unnecessary items on impulse. If you really like the useless item alot, take a photo of it and you can keep it in memory forever. HAHA.

2. Settle for cheaper food at fast food restaurants or food courts or hawker centre (the best).

3. Compare prices and quality between shops before buying!

4. Look out for sales. It's really worth it to buy stuffs during sales.

Overall:

Keep yourself healthy and fit! Saving the doctor's fees is more significant than saving tiny amounts of money here and there. =)

Went to Bugis Junction with my mum today to meet my cousins. She wanted to pass them stuffs to bring back to malaysia for other relatives. While she was sitting outside in the open air area waiting for them, i went to window-shop by myself. Saw 2 MJC couples, shan't name who and who. When I returned to find my mum, there was this long stick of poster inside her environmental-friendly bag. haha!! She went to queue up with other youngsters for the Kung Fu Dunk tickets, but it ran out and so she got a poster and a pack of Poker cards after answering a question. LOL!! My mum is so great! haha!! Since I'm kinda hard up now, I'm selling the stuffs online on ebay. Hope some crazy fan buys it, and yea I will have pocket money.

The mere thought of more expensive bread (at first), and now noodles (the coffee shop stall i always patronize just increased their prices), and transport fares... oh man... I'm losing appetite because I think that the food is just too expensive already. For today, I had nearly-expired milk for breakfast. Hmm no lunch. Then I ate some bread and my mum bought me sushi for dinner.

The dearest fishy i used to have called me a paranoid bugger today, and pinpointed out all my flaws. I don't have as much experience as him, and he thinks that he is very great. And now, he's gonna break off with me. Just because he wasn't happy that i told him not to eat oily food at night. I'm fine with anything. It's not that I'm so desperate for a boyfriend or what.

Suddenly thought of Spin the Bottle's bags. Oh man.. why do i have so many crappy bags at home?! I dont even have enough space to store them. And I wanna buy new bags. What is this?! Argh!! *just venting out my frustrations online, since my mum wouldnt understand me.*

Work has been boring, I'm really not fit to work. =P I like to interact with cute kids, but.. working is still not for me! Argh. I gonna be a tutor once I get my cert. ROAR!!

No money for a hair rebond/perm, so i guess i have to be hardworking and maintain my hair for the time being. Gonna condition my hair EVERYDAY. Omg, I hope my hair would be long and silky soon! Keke.

With regards to the MRT breakdown some days ago, I think it's kinda funny when I read the forum of ST. These adults are so toot. Firstly, serve them right for going to work on time. It pays to be early. ^_^ Secondly, instead of complaining that they are late (they should have realised that they might be late already), why not search for alternative routes?! Like take a cab or catch a bus that goes from pasir ris to tanah, vice versa?! (Though it would take a longer time too.) Ah.. the best is, drive yourself. ^_^ We better start searching for alternative routes to our workplace/school in case another incident happens. =D I've thought about it for mine already. Yay!
I've played 3 Yahoo games today. Each game lasted 1 hour. Let me see, I played Wedding Dash (not my type), Burger Shop (Not bad, but kinda tiring after some time), and Sally's Salon (Liked this the most!) Kinda bored at home. Yawnz..
Going to Malaysia tomorrow. Looking forward to it as I've not been out of the small country for quite a long time already. Bleahx. I feel like shopping! (there's american-based shops that we cant find in Sg, like bodyglove and those surfboarding co.)
I don't know if i should get a new notebook for uni, or be content with my not-so-portable laptop. Bleahx. $1k is alot of money. Zzzz.. Or the best, no need to use in uni. Muahahaha!!

Went out for an impromptu outing @ Orchard Road yesterday with YH. Sneaked out while my mum was out with her friend and my dad was also out (but he reached home before i got out of the house!).


I reached Heerens first as YH is forever late for the meetings, and watched a catwalk. Lol its ManHunt 2008 and yea the finalists were wearing clothes that are sponsored by Heeren shops. There are some tops and bags that were so cute! Haha. I mean they had some random female models also. I like one or two =P of the handbags from Spin The Bottle! The salesgirl said they're from New York and each design comes only in 3 pieces. Omg.. I feel like buying them, but i cant! I've got too many handbags and other kinds of bags at home already.



Then i also remember one of the male models wearing a white long-sleeved top. But the front part looks kinda funny to me. Its like the piece of cloth that a baby wears in front of him when you feed him food. And yea, thats the only model that left me a deep impression. Hahaha.



And yes, YH bought me my havaianas finally! Weee~~ But come to think of it, the baby pink i've bought looks a bit weird. =X Can I buy one more? =PpP Thanks yuehanny~ The NUM ambassadors dont look as hot as the ones that we saw last time. They looked malnourished. Haha. But the cashier's piercings and tattoos and contact lenses (i think) made him look so cool. Haha. Normally i hate such stuffs. BleaHx~~ I love butterflies, and YH. =D

Mango has sales~~!! Argh i tried this top (kinda cheap @ $30) but i dont like the sleeves. Aww... Too bad. I must lose more fats! Grrr!! YH bought a long sleeve shirt from G2000 @ only $23. So cheap lar. Too bad I'm not a guy, if not i also wanna buy! Hehehe.

Where is our monthly neoprint? Hmm I prefer using camera actually. =D

20th month and counting.. (not including that break-up) hmph!!!

I slept early and missed my jacky wu show. Haiz. I thought i would feel better today but i'm not. Even more unlucky, i'm feeling worse and i missed my show. I switched off my phone at 2am this morning and then i heard a car accident at my area. -___- I got off my bed to see if i could see anything (kpo) but couldnt, then i ran back to my bed. Haha. Maybe people died so there's no commotion. -___-"

Counting down to A levels release: Too many days. Haiz.

{ 7:53 AM }

19.1.08.
I'm sick, finally! I haven't been sick for quite a long time i think. Uh, maybe before A levels or Prelims only. Argh. All thanks to either stupid yh's house or my colleague. 3 of my colleagues are also down with flu. We shall just boycott the centre. Muahahaha.

I haven't been sleeping well because of breathing difficulties. Haiz. And people are just irritating me and i hope to die soon.

Congrats to myself for getting my LAST $300 merit bursary. Only $300 to reward myself for studying/mugging so hard in J2. Haiz. I hope my results would be a better reward at least. Haiz.

Have been very busy this week. Chinese New Year is coming and so I'm helping my mum with the household chores. My dream is still VERY far away. I helped her iron all the clothes inside the plastic box within 3 days. Haha. I'm gonna iron more clothes (new) later. =P And then I'm going to help YH iron his mum's clothes and clean his house as his mum is very busy with work. Haha. I hope to get a bigger ang pao from my parents this year. *_*


I'm also doing MATHS on my off-days whenever I'm free at home. =D Erm, I'm still at the primary school level though, currently doing factorisation now. Don't laugh at me! I bet most of you cant solve it either. LOL. For example, what's a³ - b³? Or a³ + b³? Haha. Pro right.. And the worst thing you can imagine is that primary school kids are doing COMPLEX NUMBERS. Basic manipulation only though. Haha. Even my colleague who is still pursueing her studies (degree) in Aust don't know what is complex numbers! I pity the kids.. their childhood is just filled with worksheets...


I'm still thinking of A's results EVERYDAY. Oh man I really have no idea what I would get. T___T Please don't fail GP.. Argh~~!!! I want a B or A for econs (LOL)!! I hope the rest are perfect scores though.. bleahx.. bleahx.. A levels should be easy since yuehan the lousy poke tyco get 2A and 1B... Roar~!!

Ate Marche for the third time. =P And still counting...

Went to TP openhouse today with my mummy. We walked from home to bedok interchange in order to exercise and save transport fares *I suggested it.* As usual, the goodie bag is excellent! haha. =P If I could win their lucky draws too... =PpP Went to eat at TP also, but didn't get to try their famous/popular food because we were too hungry. Building-wise, TP is also the newest and most beautiful one. -___-"

Went to TM to shop also. My mum wanted to buy bedsheets but she didn't like those available ones. Haha. And she bought 2 RED tops for me, for CNY and work. =PpP So nice la. I think I'm the PRICELESS ANG PAO already. Hahahaha.

Then we went to NYP @ YIO CHU KANG! So far away! And the goodie bag sux la.. haha. But the school has a "pool", feels really comfy! Haha. My mum went to play games at the game stalls since there's nothing much to see. Haha. She played this fishing game and she finished it faster than this teenage girl. LOL. I think that girl would feel so loser lor. Haha. I didn't know my mum is so good at these crap.. should introduce her to maple =P

Wanted to meet my sister since she studies at bishan which was a few stops away from yck. But she didnt want to meet and gave excuses like she wanna study.. got rain.. and dunno what crap. Then when we were on the way home she asked if wanna meet out to eat. Lame...

I like the silky girl lip gloss and nail polish. I shall go buy some lip gloss next time. Looks really nice. Haha. And I've received many notebooks. Woot can use it for uni also...

I'm worrying for the results... i will be 100000% lost if i fail my gp or cant get into my course. Haiz. I'm already not aiming THAT high. Science faculty (chem) requires 2A 1B and GP.. uh.. C5 LOL can also enter lor. I should be getting better than THAT bah. Boohoohoo...

I can't wait to go for NUS/NTU openhouse! Haha. NUS got nice freebies also.. I love the lego keychain (actually YH won it) and i dunno where the lego magnet went to. ZzZ

To cheong yue han: I waited for you online for 1 hour but you did not appear! I'm off to watching my dramas now. HMPH! I LOVE COFFEE PRINCE, my heart skipped a beat last night. Awww... SO ROMANTIC!!

I was enlightened during my WALK at the stadium just now. My resolution for 2008 is to find a potential spouse who has the following qualities:
- A car (Excuse me, it's not Cherry QQ. Just a Lamborghini will do.) Yes, the Lamborghini we saw at Orchard was just too cool. I can't imagine a noob like me drive such a car. ARGHH.

- Tall and tanned and full of muscles (and brains please), and looks like a beach dude. (I'm not sporty but yea, it's really cool to have a bf who looks like the NUM salesman!) HAHA.

So far, only these 2 qualities. Kekeke~~ Yuehan do you hear me...? I will wait for you to earn 900k in NS to buy a lambo. Weee~~ And don't forget my 18 carat diamond ring. ^__^
~*~
I'm kinda pissed that there was this UNCLE who looked so perverted (as usual) and kept taking glances at me when I was eating at the coffeeshop. I've seen him alot of times before though. It's really strange that they STILL look at you even though you're giving them looks already. Perhaps they didn't even notice my expressions. Idiot. And yea I feel like going right up to him and tell him: GO HOME SEE YOUR MOTHER LA.

I'm starting to hate this ageing population. Young girls shouldn't be left alone at the coffeeshops or anywhere-that-has-ah-peks already. IT'S SO DANGEROUS. ARGH.

Hey everybody!! Visit Heeren's NUM shops (all the 3 or 4 shops) NOW!! Haha. ALL their salesman are so hot and muscular and tanned and.. sexy (maybe)!
And yea, they're all wearing the NUM singlets and its so cool lar. Hahaha. I'm forcing YH to buy it too. =PpP

At first we went to the main NUM shop, then woo.. salesman all hunks. But the shop kinda boring, so we went out. Then later i saw the shops (opp each other) with the flip-flops i want. Then omg! The shop is so so so so small and there's like about 6 salesmen in the shop. I didnt want to go there at first coz it's so paiseh... i didnt dare to look up at first la.. hahaha. I chionged into the empty shop and admire my flipflops. Wha, then alot of the salesmen came over and it's so paiseh lar... Suddenly the density of "hotness" is so high. I can't imagine myself trying the flipflops with muscular hunks serving me. HAHA. Maybe I would be in heaven by that time already. Wee~~ And yes, I still want to try the flip-flops. ZzZ Should i go NUM again? Hehe see if other outlets also hunk anot -___-" Then i blindfold myself and won't blush already. ^__^

Went to eat at some italian restaurant at Paragon. The food's so-so... I had lasagne but it was super cheesy, i would have preferred more beef. ZzZzZ Should have eaten at bakerzin. =P Talking about food, the main reason why I wanted to go Orchard was because of Village restaurant @ Heerens!! But they closed down this year already OMG!! Alot of other shops at the basement also closed i think. Sianz.. I thought I could eat Marche-taste-alike food even though I'm not at Vivo... Sobs..

Saw wilberg while i was walking home. Haha. He was complaining that he also had to walk to the mrt station coz the bus fare so expensive HAHA. See.. everybody also save money like me lor. Hahaha!! And yea. he's working at IMH now. Haha..~~~~ nice pay though. -___-"

Went to eat Mos Burger for lunch with colleague today. Yummy, the teriyaki chicken is really nice. ^^ And i like their $2.50 Xmas keychains also. ZzZzZ They're so.. KaWaii~~ ^_^

Today is my first time really interacting with students! Haha. I became their reading buddy. ZzZzZ Yup.. there's this little boy so cute. He was asked by my boss to come to me to listen to him read his sentences. So I just shifted my butt on the chair so that he could STAND closer to me and read. Who knows that he also sat on my chair also!! Haha. But luckily he's small sized.. I also listened to another japanese girl read her passage for a test. haha. I can't imagine myself being an oral teacher!

There's these 2 malay ladies who came to the centre for an interview. Omg la. One of them could speak GOOD japanese!! Ahhh.. luckily I didn't come for the interview with her. Sure lose one!! So i bet the other lady might not get the job already. =P Aiya but they only could do for a short period only, unlike me. =P SO LONG MORE TO GO.. I WANT GO UNI ALR PWEASE!!! (Kinda worrying abt my A levels results now.. Haiz.. thanks to someone.. I'm worrying about my CHEM, in specific.)

I'm still waiting for my $300 bursary award. (They increased the amount compared to last year =P SO I MUST GET IT!! Last chance le.. T__T Please give it to me!! Grrr..

I feel like going shopping tomorrow.. despite the price hike in transport fares. HAHA.

{ 6:49 PM }

4.1.08.
At the centre today....

Student: Who is this teacher?
Me: Mabell.
Student: You are nineteen right?
Me: No.. Eighteen.
Student: Don't bluff! Nineteen!
Me: Oh ya oh ya.. nineteen. Haha

[I forgot that I'm now OLDER. Grr. Because he asked me the same question last week. But I really was 18.. T__T]

Went for driving lesson this morning. =D Finished 4 test routes today! Haha. At the start of the lesson, engine always stall.. *as usual* Haha. But at the later part of the lesson, the instructor Mr Lee said my driving is ok! haha. Tomorrow should be the end of my Module 2 already, time flies really fast! Hehe. And say hello to parking and then the BIG DAY, TP test!! The sad thing is that I managed to reserve a TP slot only in the mid April. Grrr.. March all fully booked already! Yea.. and for right now, I'm eager to clear my FTT which is only in March. =( I hope my schedule would work out... ^^

Saw weixian at driving school today.. haha... noob sia.. she dunno where to find her car!! Luckily she met me. =P

Nothing much to do at home already. Hmm.. Maybe i should take up a hobby instead of mapling everyday! Haha. And since my mum is home, i don't have to do housework already... really bored~~~ Yawnz~~. Should go and work out at the stadium coz I think that I'm getting flabbier. hohoho. Actually that's not really true.. I also feel thinner now *Maybe becoz I've been eating korean maggi mee for the past few days.*

Show you what my sister cooked for ourselves... I can't cook coz I'm afraid to on the stove. BUT, I helped to prepare the food. =P Made mistakes still hehehe...

My sister's bowl..

My bowl.. =.= Cute? Hehe. My soup noodle became like this... Grrr....
