i’m old
Last weekend, my assignments are over! Yay!
And after last weekend, my freedom is over too. Time to get started on the new assignments. Never ending stream of assignments. 
What i want to do is to curl up in bed until a great time, preferably after 12pm. Go to the country club to get my increasingly sluggish body working in the gym, fall asleep by the pool, and then steam myself out in the sauna.. Head to my fave steamboat place after that for dinner or to some japanese restaurant for some premium sashimi before going home to watch naruto or the Tudors until its time to sleep and begin a new day.
Now, my club membership is expiring soon, i don’t go to the pool any more, and the steamboat place has closed down.
What i can look forward to, is a nice holiday retreat to celebrate my birthday and to go to Malaysia during weekends with Jun. I also look forward to Halloween and Christmas. I don’t think i will get to celebrate Halloween this year, BUT i will at least cozy up at home with some scary movies and then spend the next day studying.
The other day Enxin told me that i wasn’t as fun anymore. The life i had, had been sucked up by the mundane working life, those which I thought will never happen to me when i was younger and spending my days lounging by the pool with my best friends, and putting chips into plastic containers so that they’ll float on the water.. talking about the future and everything under the sun, going to town afterwards, planning on what to buy, changing manicures every other day, or every single day for that matter.. and eating all that food and the words ‘fat’ and ‘ugly’ are never in our vocabulary.
Then it was life working in Night Safari, my first proper job which i have difficulty going to on time, punctuality doesn’t hold anything to me at that time. I do as i wish and i never had to care about time outside of school and movie theaters. All those late night suppers after work, driving to Changi Village just for the heck of it, Ala-meen, random mamak stores or spending the night out at East Coast Park, prawning and seletar. And then i love the food and the friendly staffs working there as well and having fun with the tribal dancers, watching the animal shows and walking to East Lodge in the dark, scared of ghosts and snakes. I love looking at the animals all night long, jumping on the tram whenever and to help people have a wonderful experience there.
After graduation, i should have went to have more fun before settling down into the mundanes of the working life. I wish i have more time to really enjoy my life, to spend every day with Jun and my family and close friends and to volunteer at ASD. I don’t know why people actually look forward to working, is the money really such a big deal? I guess it is.
18 more days til Jun come back!

long lost memories
TENG JUN HAO.
i’m sure you will be very surprised when you see this.
guess what i found on the dining table two days ago! my mum was like. oh enci do you want this? and i was like OMGGGG!
that was us with our first couple t-shirt from Levis. I was quite shocked that you actually bought it for us, since we weren’t really together yet at that time. when i said i wanted matching t-shirts. i love it though. let’s wear it again when you’re back?
and check out my hairstyle. love your hairstyle though.
we did love taking neocards at that time eh. and and, it reminds me of the time where you’ll come over to meet me at cwp and we’ll go for movies and dinner and then you’ll go back to JB. such fun dating times.. makes me feel almost young again. 
we should totally do it more.
don’t you think so?

KL trip (Sept, 5-8 2009)
Pictures!
the sisters
the same food
and the arrival at the same hotel
the food never disappoints. i love love love them!
and then we headed out for some good ol’ shopping from evening to night
lol. behold the similarities
Madness ensued
lol. armpit hair extensions!
and the powerpuff hair continues over dinner @ Tangs cafe
after dinner we went for a walk around KL Central
sugar glider
one malay bbqing pork strips (well, may not be malay afterall but sure looks like one)
breakfast @ the lounge
the lovely chicken noodles cooked by the chef’s bar
oh.. the foooood!
church – was hoping we won’t have to go to church like the last visit, but wells, we found ourselves going to a church… for a cantonese hearing. with mostly old people and i don’t understand a word of it.
some ‘me’ time in the toilet
back @ hotel. these are my favorite cookies. they keep me company while i log on the computer to chat with Jun
so happy to have huiz back!
At my aunt’s house
followed by bakuteh in klang
After lunch we went to shopping again, although i was really sick since a few days ago. So i probably didn’t have that much fun.
Ate at Sakae sushi for dinner near our hotel but the service really sucked, and the food wasn’t that great either. SO disappointing.
A diplomat’s car outside our hotel.. was so fascinated with it.
back at the hotel. i laughed when i saw that the cuddlies are arranged so cutely on the bed. especially moon’s teddy who’s sleeping like a human. lol.
took a nice hot bath with the divine scenery and then logged onto my laptop in the room.
super sick
so cute my sisters!
the next morning my flu didn’t get any better and although me and moon decided to go for breakfast in the hotel’s restaurant, i knew i wouldn’t be able to eat much. RM156 wasted!
And then its shopping time!
Enxin tried to get more moolahs but the machine was so laggy and old and almost died twice.
And then we packed up and went back home. Was so sick that i just slept the entire journey. dinner @the Straits Restaurant, which would be the perfect way to end the trip, but i was way too sick to enjoy it.
reached home and had a fever of 38.9 degrees. which was a most horrible way to end the trip. got 4 days MC til Friday, turns out to be TypeA influenza.
Slept the next 4 days away and feel miserable. Wake up, eat porridge/soup + medicine, sleep, watch the coffee prince, eat porridge/soup, watch the coffee prince, chat with Jun, sleep, and repeat. thank God there’s Jun to keep me company. LOVE YOU.

FLUzz
zzzz.
half dead.
what should conclude a really really good holiday shouldn’t be flu, headache, fever, bodyache, cough and loss of appetite. its so unfair.
as our car pull up to our last stop at straits gardens restaurant, i felt my heart sink. the last (and the first time) i was there with Jun, the love of my lif and we had a great romantic dinner together and i told my dad how great it was and that he should bring us theree.. and this is the time where he’s bringing us there… and i had NO craving to eat AT ALL.
how can it be???!!
anyway, dinner was such a drag. i just ate some, think of Jun, eat some more. and then dragged myself home. took my temperature. 38.5 degrees.
irritated by every small little thing. room is messy. xin keep harping on how i am pretending to be sick. mum’s coming in nonstop with ice cubs and towels, but it didn’t seem to work because my fever rose to 38.9 degrees. jun was upset with me because he was worried i was sick. but i couldn’t help it. i just felt like dying on my bed. i hug tako.. and my special momento of jun (which is a secret, only Jun knows what it is… hehehe) and i tried to sleep.
saw a doctor the next day. flu has been almost 3-4 days now. such a downer on the KL trip. doctor made me do a h1n1 test. she told me it’ll cost money. i didn’t bring my wallet. so i put on a mask and went to popular to find my mum. didn’t see her the first time.. almost walked out of popular, but some instinct tell me she’s inside. so i went back in.. and there she is. went up to the clinic and the doctor told me that i had type A influenza.
Type AB = confirmed h1n1. Type A = suspected h1n1. so i guess i’m a suspect now. went back home with MC for the rest of the week. it wasn’t such a big deal but it’s really the worsttt flu u can ever get.
jun is supportive. calls me everynight. they say tamiflu gives u hallucinations. i couldn’t sleep the whole night last night because i kept going to the toilet.
if i’m afraid of hallucinations and bad dreams, i secretly sing the YA TA song in my head and think of the stupid dance, and think of Jun doing the stupid dance.. and i smile to myself and sleep. and wake up in the next minute to go to the toilet again. shouldn’t have drank so much water before i sleep. lesson learnt. the toilet looks scary at night. :
i chat with jun everyday and watch drama. finished coffee prince. now i’m watching hana kimi. want to watch gossip girl.
jun’s having 1 week holiday. i’m having 1 week MC. so he keeps me company everyday. if not i’ll die of boredom at home.
mum cooked porridge, beehoon soup and more soup everyday. i want to eat CHEEZE SAUSAGE, FRENCH FRIES, FRIED CHICKEN and SEAWEED CHICKEN. resisting temptation.
cleaned up my room today. feel so proud of myself.. threw so much of junk out. looked through old pictures. wonder if i looked any different from the past.
hugged tako and viewed pictures of me and jun.. happy, and sad. wish jun’s here.
trying to think of where to go with Jun for a holiday…
bali? bangkok? phuket?
what would he like to do? i wonderrrr..
i miss u jun.. thanks for giving me ur love and care.. makes me feel better.. now i just have to recover!!
thanks everybody for all the concern!
luvv,
nc

KL trip
To Jun
When it gets hard, lucky in my life
you come towards me like a dream
when I get sad, lucky in my dream
you hold me tight with warm embrace.
I smile like this, always
even when the world makes it hard
I don’t ever want to show my tears.
even though you don’t know my heart yet
because I can still keep your smile, even from afar,
it’s a relief.
When I want to cry, lucky in my love
you look so handsome in my imagination
when I’m frustrated, lucky in my world
you hold me tight like a dream.Take one step towards me.
-꽃보다-남자
Just finished watching boys before flowers! I really love it and its way better than i expected. It kind of makes me think of Jun. We used to watch all these shows together all the time. He got me hooked on watching all these shows, and naruto! We’ll hole ourselves up in the room and just watch them the whole day and night. He’ll hug me when i cry and buy me food when i’m hungry. he’s just really so super sweet.
i miss him so much sometimes but i’ve been doing very well. We’ll chat online all the time, and he buys phonecards to call me and accompany me to sleep (although sometimes he’ll be playing games when i sleep so…) and he’s never too far from me. has it only been about 1 month since you left?
Anyway, KL Trip with family!
We started off with a flat tyre caused by a rusty nail. Made a stopover at Shell petro kiosk while daddy attempted to change his very first tyre! I kept thinking about Jun, it reminds me of the times where Jun will go over to Shell to pick me up so that we can spend the weekend together at his place. Sigh. What will i do without him..
How to change a flat tyre.
eeeks! the wheel looked really out of place!
We woke up record early for our breakfast tradition – beef noodles!
Afterthat we got the car fixed and set off to KL!
xoxoxo
Malacca!
the food, over-rated?
And then its off to KL
Westin Hotel.
In the lounge (i do really love sky lounges until i discovered something even better!)
free flow of alcohol baby~
tako attempting to get online so that owner nc can contact baby jun.
champagne and psychology. @.@ doesn’t go too well together.
managed to check in around 5pm. the living room~
i want JUN TO BE HERE!! OMGWASH. so romantic. beautiful scenery, giant bed and bathtubs overlooking KL’s skyline.
parents bedroom
bathtub with automated screen and the scenery from inside the tub! I love this!
me, exn and moon’s room. 
with the RM12,000 beds, Westin is the best in bed afterall.
KL by day, KL by night
getting ready to shoppp!
shoppp~
breakfast at the hotel. their buffet is really incredible!
endless arrays of food.
there’s prata chefs, steaks chef, eggs chef, pancakes waffles chef, prawn mee chef, … and smoothies makers, yoghurt maker, mediterranean food maker, fruit juice blender maker, and so on and so on..
stroll around the swimming pool. i wasn’t impressed with the swimming pool at all. however, seeing that quite a fair bit of the hotel guests are arabic, they probably won’t use the swimming pools anyway. wahaha. look who else is staying at the hotel! Chong Qing!
icecreams. btw there’s A&W in KL, and no, i didn’t manage to eat there. but i was so excited to see it!
back at the hotel lounge… real honey comb for honey! there’s sashimi and everything too! too bad we missed out on that breakfast. way TOO full to gorge myself anymore.
evening time at the lounge. yes i’ve been spending way too much time in the lounge, for free internet access, to study and to talk to the love of my life (although he usually isn’t online anyway. ) and OF COURSE, all that foodddies! teatime.
a toast to KL!
i love the laksa so much!
<– cute little arab kid who loves to disturb us.
drunk EXN and moon, they started gorging themselves on vodka and crazy cocktails after i went off to the computer room to chat with Jun. LOL. and to think its only their first time drinking beer! @.@
met up with my dad’s sister and her two cute kidos at the hotel before setting out for dinner! what is great about westin is that it is just opposite pavilion and is right smack in the middle of central KL!
Malaysia boleh! – tshirt from Charles Cham
food@michelangelo
shopping!
set back home. a big disaster. we were all sleeping on the car along the highway when my mom woke us up. apparently there’s smoke from the car’s front engine! its like, a very pissed off feeling. i seriously thought the car’s going to be burned in no time. we stopped in the middle of nowhere on the highway and my dad cooled the engine down with some mineral water. we were just standing around, don’t know what to do.
soon after we were approached by a car-towing company and then the highway patrol stopped too. in fact, they’re pretty chatty and funny.
showing off the INTEGRITY badge. it means that these polices are not susceptible to bribe. (supposedly anyway), putting it in a more realistic way, they’ve been bribed by the government already not to accept bribes. so, don’t try!
how to tow a car, travelling at a speed of 60kmh, its no wonder you can see the sky darken.
got to the car mechanic’s shop where we had dinner at the restaurant next to it. we were joined by a fellow singaporean family whose car was in even worse shape than ours.
dinner. and stupid mechanics who charged us 1.2 k to fix the car and ended up not being able to fix it anyway after installing the new parts. in the end, we waited 3 hours for nothing and were towed back to tuas for a hefty fee.
reached home at 3+am in the morning. isn’t it such a horror?
and aren’t we crazy to be going up to KL again this weekend? HEHEHEHE.

FRUSTRATION
NOT ENOUGH TIME TO STUDY!! am struggling to complete my much needed revision and to balance work with it.
Please do allow me to disappear for awhile as i study like mad at home and try not to tear my hair out.
some topics are really interesting, like sex and marital intimacy. all my close friends will know that i really want to get married. hehe. but my textbook says that marital intimacy does not come easily. and marital distress increases over the first 3 years of marriage and maintaining intimate relationships in the face of conflict and disillusionment is a challenge that requires continuous negotiation and compromise. and children will usually lead to a peak of marital conflict, whatever happened to my fairy tale ending in my favourite historical romance books?
urrgh. Jun has been totally keeping me sane by staying up with me late at night (although he is playing game), his company still comforts me and keep my fear of darkness at bay. and he calls me to chat everynight. i really look forward to those times where we’ll chat about absolutely everything under the sun and lots of laughter to fill the rest of the night (although its usually way too late to have enough sleep by then) love him! it just makes the distance seems closer when his voice is the last thing you hear before you fall asleep.
ok i’m back to studying.
KL trip pictures up soon after i manage to upload them all into facebook.
so angry! have classes from 6.30-10.30 tomorrow after work, then saturdays and sundays 9-6pm. isn’t it just like work? COME ON!! 9am? SERIOUSLY? how can you be so… wicked? ON A SATURDAY TOO?? so angry very angry and pissed off. my weekends i was hoping to study for my exam. hello?
urrgh ok bye.

PSY141
Do i really have to study this for exams??
INTERIM SUMMARY
The nervous system consists of the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS). Neurons of the PNS carry messages to and from the CNS. The PNS has two subdivisions: the somatic nervous system and the autonomic nervous system. The somatic nervous system consists of sensory neurons that carry sensory information to the brain and motor neurons that direct the action of skeletal muscles. The autonomic nervous system controls basic life processes such as the beating of the heart, workings of the digestive system and breathing. It consists of two parts, the sympathetic nervous system, which is activated primarily in response to threats (but is also involved in general emotional arousal), and the parasympathetic nervous system, which is involved in more routine activities such as maintaining the body’s energy resources and restoring the system to an even keel following sympathetic activation.
.
.
.
A good illustration of the way these two systems interact — and how their interaction can be derailed — is sexual activity. In males, the parasympathetic nervous system controls the flow of blood to the penis; it is thus responsible for engorging the blood vessels that produce an erection. In females, parasympathetic processes are similarly involved in vaginal lubrication. Ejaculation, however, is controlled by the sympathetic nervous system, which is probably involved in female orgasm as well. The capacity to become excited and experience orgasm thus depends on the synchronised activation of the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems. If a man experiences sympathetic activation too early, he loses his capacity to sustain an erection and may ejaculate prematurely. Conversely, if he does not experience sympathetic activation, ejaculation will not take place (Kimble, 1992). In women, poor coordination of sympathetic and parasympathetic activity may inhibit vaginal lubrication and thus hinder sexual pleasure. In a society that places a premium on sexual performance, a few disappointing sexual experiences can disrupt the delicate balance between sympathetic and parasympathetic activation. For example, a man who experiences a brief period of difficulty maintaining sexual excitement may begin to see himself as a failure sexually and become more anxious with each new encounter. The anxiety, in turn, can inhibit the parasympathetic activation that normally leads to erection, setting in motion a cycle in which sympathetic activation and feelings of anxiety fuel each other and create a fully-fledged problem in sexual functioning. This example illustrates the interaction of psychological experience, physiological processes and culture. Based on cultural standards of sexual performance, a transitory dysfunction (failure to sustain an erection) leads the person to feel anxious and inadequate, which then exacerbates the initial psychobiological condition.

What do i think of cruises
I think i have a love-hate relationship with the sea.
I love it when i look at it from a visual perspective, but when i’m actually out there in the open, i will start off with my arms wide open embracing the open sea and ended up feeling like crap once i’m right out in the open sea. i don’t recall feeling seasick on large liners however, just those medium sized yachts type.
Last year July when i was in Sydney, i cajoled Jun in taking me to go whale watching. It turned out to be the biggest headache ever. The sea was rough and the whales keep doing the same actions, hiding and coming up occasionally but you don’t see much because they’re so far away, plus they usually do it whenever you were not paying attention. Plus i get nausea and simply can’t wait to be back on land. rather traumatic to think of it. I don’t think Jun had enjoyed it either… so i got a nagging guilty feeling in me. Have to make it up to him somehow. i purposely chose the one with the LONGEST hours and the cheapest!!
here’s us at the starting of the trip
humpback whales! i think there were 3 of them. 2 calves with the mummy travelling side by side
that’s the mummy whale waving at us!
gosh, look at his face! Not happy, nah.
In fact, nobody looks happy onboard. Most people spent the whole time sleeping or puking
In fact, its a wonder why i was so excited about our firm’s first anniversary celebration on a cruise (again) around the Southern Islands of Singapore. Actually, truth be told, when i was told to organize the trip, i focused mainly on the food part. Plus we get a friday off (from actual work)
3rd July 2009
Early in the morning we arrived at One15 Marina Club.
Our Yacht
the interior of the yacht
the lower deck
mr lim’s office away from office. lol.
and my favorite upper deck! (apart from the food area of course)
.
.
.
so away we go, leaving a trail of footprints in the form of bubbles behind
and i got to steer the yacht!!
.
.
.
nah, its actually driven by the crew. so sad.
and so after some time, its time for a swim.
followed by my favorite crew member – our personal chef
here’s some of the food
and just to show you how much i love the beef…
that’s how many different plates i ate! (i secretly asked chef song to make it not so well done cause i love bloody steaks)
then its time for cake cutting! (our homemade cake from slizes)
and the other activities on board include mahjong (and a few broken champagne glasses)
fishing (one fish died because of that)
and then it was me hoping and hoping that we’ll go back to land soon.
after landing, i took the train with gillian back to Woodlands where i went home to pack my bags to go to Malaysia to meet my love. However, i was so exhausted that i had a very bad headache and fever for the next few days. plus i was allergic to the sunblock and my lips started swelling and peeling and bleeding for over a week. thus, no kisses. Damn.
Jun took such good care of me though. He massages me to sleep and brings me lots of food and water while i rest at home feeling like i was dying. Superrrr sweet! i slept so much that weekend i can’t believe it. but it was that sweet care and affection that makes it so much more bearable. just another reason why i love you so much. – Jun
