since i still have another 10 minutes before sx comes over,and i haven't been updating much,
here's a few pictures.
this is me now
darker ash locks (you can't see the ugly blue-fade-off-to-green colour anymore!)
which are about 2 inches shorter
and thinned so much that the amout cut off,
looked like enough to make a wig.
i miss my longer thicker hair.
it's so bloody short now.

woohoo~*in one week's time i'll be eligible to enroll for class 2a!!
just like that a whole year has passed
i still remember how i was filled with joy
and a hugeeeeeeee smile was plastered on my face
when i was sitting in the classroom, praying that my number wouldn't be called
and the instructors closed the door
after one year,
it's time to go through that whole grueling process again
on one of these 400cc babies..
honda super 4
the whole thought of it is exciting yet mortifying.
going up from 150cc's to 400cc's will definitely be a challenge
what with the sudden increase in torque and weight.
again i will have to go through the terrors of the crank course, e-break and pylon/slalom,
have a breeze on the slope and narrow plank (i hope!)
and the nightmare of learning something new - the bumpy course.
all while wearing "street fighter" (that's seriously the name of the brand) elbow and knee guard.
riding couldn't be more fashionable ay!
:)
on the bright side,
it's only 1 theory lesson and 3 practicals (NO MORE ROAD TESTS!!),
i get to play with a 400c bike,
bwuang it like nobody's business and not have to worry about repairs,
and say hello to those crash bars that will save me from being crushed by the bike should i fall.
fun right?
:X
ssdc watch out,
cos nicole the
7 days and counting... ... ...

can i ask you people a general question?after you've told someone something that you are obviously sian or upset about
and have verbally expressed that you do feel sian/upset
and right after that, that someone asks you why do you sound so sian.
do you not feel irritated or disappointed?
because it's like as if
1) everything you've said was rubbish
2) the other person was not listening at all
3) the other person does not even understand you enough to know why you feel that way
(even when you have just told them seconds before)
i don't know whether to feel sad for myself,
or for the other person.
sometimes asking you to cheer me up
is like asking for a miracle
i know you never ask me to when you're down
but i still do because i want you to be happy
even when there's nothing much i can say or do i'll still try to cheer you up
but time and again
you can't do the selfless act of doing so for me too.
it's always see your mood or level of tiredness
it's quite disheartening when you're already unhappy
and you think you can turn to your significant other
only to end up feeling worse
i know we shouldn't expect other people to bother and cheer us up
but who can honestly say they don't wish for it deep down inside?
i am only human yes?
what a really sucky feeling.

mice with wings and shiny thing. and lions, tigers, bear, oh my ride.
few days backme and the boyfriend went to jb cos he wanted to pump petrol and finally give his old trusty a wash.
didn't take any pictures after the wash cause it was starting to drizzle and we wanted to get back to s'pore asap.
but i swear, i've never seen that bike so clean and shiny before.
=X
and today while i was eating my lunch downstairs
i made a really impromptu decision to wash elijah
the sky looked a little cloudy, so after lunch
it was chop chop and a-washing i went
elijah after a good wash and wax.
(17 more days and bye bye p-plate!! (: )
so handsome! *beams*
cookie monster looking very happy to be clean
the fuel tank is so shiny that i can see myself in it! :p
damn unglam, i know.
while i was rinsing elijah out with the hose,
i noticed this small brown moth that went into hiding inside the left fairing
i tried to hose it out by spraying into the fairing but didn't see it fall or fly out
don't know if it had drowned or flew away.
but what d'ya know,
after i was done waxing i realized he was hiding under elijah's front tyre.

in the process of grooming elijah,
i got bitten several times.

one small bite at the end of my right leg
and 3 very big angry-looking ones near the knee
stupid mosquitoes.
oh well,
that's the end of this post on clean bikes.

i'm back from my solo ridei didn't really have a particular place in mind.
i don't think anyone really knows,
but i love to go to yishun dam
though i hardly go there now
and i don't think anyone is willing enough to go all the way there with me
anyway,
i've always wanted to figure out how to go about getting there on my own
so that's the goal i had in mind tonight.
rode over to the petrol station to fill elijah up with gas
then rode to ang mo kio, yio chu kang and yishun
turned right at the first junction and straight on towards the dam.
i realized a few things.
1) yishun dam is 15/16 click away from hougang
2) i am damn hum ji (coward)
3) it is faster to get to yishun dam by smaller roads than expressways
i shall now explain point 2.
my original plan was to stop at yishun dam for awhile to slack and enjoy the atmosphere
maybe take some pictures as well
thinking that it was around 1+am on a monday nobody would be there
but when i got there there were quite a few groups of mats/bengs
so it seemed kinda intimidating for me, being alone, to park my bike at an empty space and sit there by myself
i think if i were more emo/upset i wouldn't have cared
but me being conscious of my surroundings felt abit out of place and loner
so i rode to the end, u-turned and rode out.
was kinda worried it might rain so i decided to head home.
i decided to take a different route home to see which way was nearer.
so i took the sle/cte
turns out going by the expressway was slightly longer than the amk/yck/yishun route.
viola, point 3!
a few days ago a friend what was the fastest i travelled on my sp
the answer being 120km/hr.
it occured to me that i hadn't gone that fast for some time
so while on the sle/cte i attempted to travel at 120.
but once i hit 110 i started to feel abit worried what with elijah starting to vibrate
kept contemplating in my head whether i should stay at 110 or go up to 120
the road was pretty empty at the time.
deliberated for pretty long and by the time i managed to pick up the guts to go 120,
there were a few cars in front and i decided it was too risky to try 120 in case one of them should swerve into my lane.
so therefore, another reason to reinforce point 2.
hum ji!!!!
-______________________-"
so that's all for my mini adventure tonight.
i realize i'm actually quite confident when riding alone at night
i feel calm and relaxed.
yet i'm a bag of nerves when i'm following friends while riding in the day.
gotta start training on riding in the day.
one of my ssdc friends who i passed my tp together with msged me on msn today
and she was telling me that i was making her feel excited that 5th dec is coming soon
what with the daily countdown i make on my nick.
we were happily talking about wanting to chiong 2a and pass before ssdc moves to woodlands
when we realized we had a problem.
both of us aren't really all that confident parking at ssdc's bike lots.
ssdc's bike lots are always full and the space constraint makes it damn squeezy
so unless you're a pro in parking,
even if you have no problems getting in the lot
you may still have problem getting out.
even worse when you're taking a long time and someone is waiting patiently or impatiently for you.
so we're contemplating parking at the stadium opposite instead
heh
=X
oh wells,
we'll figure that problem out when the time comes.
time for me to wash my face
and head to bed
my eyes are dry from the tears and not using my visor at all the entire time i was riding
goodnight~*
p/s: as silly as it seems, i still believe in the jinx. the 2 subsequent times we met after i told my friend we were doing good, we quarreled when we hadn't quarreled for quite some time. sad. :(

12:32 AM
i bought the prettiest dress for karen's wedding,which isn't very wedding-y at all.
khad had that very unsure look on her face
as i was admiring myself in the mirror,
and asking her if it was the one.
we'd been dress shopping for half a day
looking through rack after rack
combing far east, wisma, taka and heeren.
trying on dress after dress only to be dismayed.
but when i saw that particular dress on the manequin,
the bright colours and pretty layers
i knew it had to be the one.
not the average glamourous, shiny, feminine dress,
but a more playful girlish one.
khad claimed it made me look like a barbie
but that dress just felt like the right one.
so now stashed away in a pretty paperbag on my bedroom floor it lies.
i have such a happy dress.
but i don't feel happy right now.
i wonder,
do i really ask for too much?
are my expectations really so high?
deep down i know i'm not
i judge myself as objectively as i can
and still i feel that i don't.
however,
what appears before me says otherwise.
are my wants, needs, requests always so tough?
when i keep giving, nothing is said
but once i start to take
that's when i am judged.
it's always "why must i be like that."
i hate being labelled "like that".
after giving and giving,
sometimes i'd like to be on the receiving end instead
i'd like to be given in to like how i've being giving in to.
everyone has their selfish sides no?
i'm turning off the tv next time
and making sure you have no choice but to give me 100% attention
whether you like it or not.
i want to go on a ride alone.

i wonder whether it's just coincidenceor do we actually really have the power of jinx-ing ourselves.
yesterday a friend was asking me how was me and the boyfriend doing.
so i told said friend that we've been good
we haven't had any major or big quarrels for a pretty long time
like we still do have our petty miunderstandings now and then,
but no "i-don't-want-to-speak-to-you-see-you--or-sms-you-at-all" kind of drama.
and i was actually quite proud and happy about it.
cos it's really been a good say.. 2 months for us.
so what do you know,
we had a misunderstanding right at the beginning of our day together,
that nearly ended the date as soon as it started.
that bf was going "i'll send you to dance class then i'm going home"
so did i jinx myself ?
or is it really pure coincidence?
cos it seems like everytime i tell someone things have been good,
or when me and the bf ourselves talk about us not quarreling for a long time,
a quarrel is just waiting round the corner.
sometimes i really wonder whether good things should be shared
the exchange rate of doing so is damn "bo hua" (not worth it)
i'd rather keep quiet and be happy
than to share and end up being unhappy
life is just one huge contradiction
we can't just have our cake and eat it
life always has to hide that piece of nut we are allergic to smack in the middle of that cake
o.0
oh wells,
at least everything ended up okay in the end
if not i'd be really really disappointed.
from now i shall turn on my "humble filter" first before i decide whether to share good news.
:p

YES!!exams are over which means freedom until march,
life is gonna get much happier from here on,
no more going to school for 3 and a half months,
i can enroll for class 2a in less than a month,
i can chiong work and earn money to spend,
sx says we will go on a short getaway holiday in jan,
i'll be going to visit my mum in aussie
and this is sx's last week at work which means he'll have more (flexible) time for me!!
:D
a few days ago when we were studying at macs,
the boyfriend proceeded to leave some "artwork" on my hand.
(that patch beside the arrow is supposed to be a heart
but it accidentely got faded when i washed my hands. =X )

my recent posts all seem to be about sx.
see honey?
i can blog up multiple posts about you. (even write a poem-sort thingy)
yet it's so difficult for you just to write me a facebook wallpost!!
why exchange rate so bad huh?
now that you're not working anymore you'll have ample time right?
so you know what to do huh? (bring on the online romance baby!!)
:p

i love youmore than you'll ever know
my thoughts,
to you they'll always go
that signature small-boy-like smile
and your hand entwined with mine
never fails to make
my heart run a mile
i love the lazy days when you lie next to me
engulfed in your sweet embrace
i savor each moment with a heart full of glee
eyes closed, a smile on my lips as we hug face-to-face
i still remember that christmas eve night
we danced and sang and held each other tight
you held my hand and wouldn't let go
again and again made my christmas wish come true
those hugs so strong
almost made me lose my balance
that night we both took a chance
small steps towards a sweet romance
and it's been you and me ever since

short update.- last paper on wednesday before a 4+ month holiday
- finally went back to work at catering after a long hiatus
- bought myself a new black flip helmet (no more unwanted stares from other road users!)
- rode solo to people's association chalet at pasir ris yesterday (it's not exactly that big a deal but i'm proud of myself)
- a friend asked me to be her english emcee for her wedding ceremony =X
- i only saw my boyfriend one day this entire week for 2+hours (record-breaker!) and i am seriously deprived of him. *pout*
- signed up for hiphop lessons at jitterbugs with khad and already went for the first lesson and now my arm muscles and thighs ache like fuck
me and khad were at suntec on thursday night
and we went stationary shopping at popular (i didn't even know there was a popular at suntec!!)
on the way down to ground level, we realized that we had a "free gift" in our bag.
which brought both of us to hysterical giggles
can you guess what it was?
tadah!
the cashier accidentely dumped the bill signing thingy into our plastic bag.
so stupid can?

i think it was more embarrassing for us to go back to return it
than it was for the guy finding out he accidentally put it in with our shopping
especially when popular was already closing

considered not bad for a lousy 2mp camera with no flash nor night-mode right?
plus we were outdoors at night with only the street lamps for light

lalalallalalalalalallalalalalala,readings didn't come out at all for today's paper
i am so damn lucky
cos i ended up reading only one of them.
:)
anyway,
I SERIOUSLY NEED SLEEP
been running on zombie mode for the past 4 days
my double eyelids have been damn small ever since sunday due to the lack of rest
and i look awful
a friend even commented that i look sick.
o.0
which actually might be true
cos i've been having a runny nose for several days
and earlier in the night my body heat was pretty hot plus my eyes had the dried out feeling
oh dear~*
i need my bf too.
he is going back to super busy mode
and i hardly get to talk to him
it's like as if i need to make an appointment to talk to him about things i want to tell him
cos he'll either sleep during his free time or he'll be so busy that by the time he's free he's too tired to talk.
i actually have topics i wanted to talk to him about since last week
which i still haven't had a chance to yet.
why so busy?
:(
oh wells.
i am still waiting for the day when the ball is in my court
and he is the one always dying to get a chance to talk to me or to see me and spend time with me
me always being the one waiting for him is.. ..
no fun at all

i have this love-hate relationship with readingswhile i HATE them,
they absolutely love to torture me whether it's homework, assignments or exams.
and i never fail to leave them to the very very last minute,
or sometimes never at all. =X
i don't know,
i just always try to keep as far away from them as possible
i hate reading page after page of teensy weensy words
when after reading the few thousands of words,
only a hundred or so are relevant (if you're lucky a few hundred).
way back during ngee ann days i was already avoiding them
for this particular exam, i think air travel management, we had to study our lecture slides, study guide and readings.
i never touched the readings.
and now i'm faced with the very same dilemma again.
:(
but this time, i know for a fact that i HAVE to read a few key readings.
SIGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH~~~~
readings,
i hate you.

i wish i had someone to fall asleep to every nightand to wake up with every morning
it's nice to have somebody beside you before and after sleep.
okay, i know i sound like i'm looking at married life. o.0
lately, sx has been falling asleep on my bed whenever he comes over
and he's never had the habit of hugging while sleeping
he'd rather hug my pillows than me (being accustomed to sleeping alone every night)
but recently his habits seem to have changed
not only is he a hugger,
he hugs really snug and finds some way to hug me no matter which position he's sleeping in or how many times he changed position
and its such a nice feeling
:)
now if only it happened at times when i was sleeping too
cause i end up getting squashed in tight hugs while i'm fully awake
and in a position where i can't watch the television.
:X
hopefully he'll be free enough for stayovers every now and then after he quits his job
we
(even if he does it's usually because he unexpectedly fell asleep and was too tired to go home)
so i'm keeping my fingers crossed.
:)
alrighty,
back to highlighting and copying endless notes.
bah~*
