Dating Strengths Explained
Sense of Humor - Guys are attracted to people with a good sense of humor. Be sure to put yours on display!
Financial Situation - You've got your financial situation under control, which is a very desirable quality. Be careful to avoid guys who are only interested in your money.

Adventurousness - You are willing to try new things and be spontaneous. You want to get out there and really live, and you will attract people with a similar love of life.

Dating Weaknesses Explained
Temper - You need to work on controlling your temper. Don't let your anger get the best of you. A calm and rational persona is important when dating.
Selfishness - You think too much of yourself and your needs. You must learn to put your partner first and tend to his needs.
Arrogance - You are a bit full of yourself. You need to practice a little humility now and then, as arrogance can be a turn-off.
Vanity - Learn to put a lower priority on looks. Appearance is, of course, important, but vanity is undesireable. The only people you will attract are the superficial.

miss universe

really didn't expect puerto rico to win... tot top 3, usa, japan & paraguay... switzerland would be 5th (her answers were really simple minded), but in the end usa 5th, very surprised, coz her answers were what i tot the judges would like & she's pretty too... the rest were all similar looking, tall, skinny with dark long hair... i didn't like puerto rico, coz she doesn't have the typical miss puerto rico look, she almost doesn't have shoulders & her hairstyle sucks... japan doesn't have the typical jap built (but this is a good point) & paraguay has the miss universe look...

sin cuisine & haagen dazs

yesterday went out with my paternal grandma, my maternal grandma, aunts & cuz... ate at sin cuisine, dun know why my parents love that place so much... i hate dim sum!

anyway tot my paternal grandma a bit senile... wanted to give me angbao for my bdae, which she already did & 3 months past) & she also wanted to give my sis angbao for her bdae coz she thinks she missed it (my sis's bdae is in oct)... then while we were at the restaurant, in the toilet, i asked her if my aunt (paternal side) was working sundays & she kept replying that her zip cannot zip...

after lunch, we went to anchorpoint... while my maternal grandma & my parents were at standard charter, my aunt treated us to haagen dazs... so sad that they dun retain their old flavours & replaced them with new ones... preferred the old ones, they dun even have orange vanilla in pint! here are some pics of the outing...



wanqi & me at standard charter...



weiliang at haagen dazs, very proud of his electrocuted hair...

belated

ya i was so super pissed that day that i didn't get to blog about my potc outing on wed... not that i'll forget about the money matter anytime soon... anyway, i preferred the first movie, first ones are always the best! i would watch the black pearl a few times more (which i did), but i dun think i'll do the same for the dead man's chest... that's not to say that the movie was lousy, just that it didn't live up to the first... the dead man's chest did have some hilarious moments... but it was very dark...

my sis's friend, gerald, was late... haha but he was glad he didn't make us miss the movie... we ate at tcc, the mongolian chicken chop was as good as ever... it was gerald's & my sis's first time there, so i recommended lil's fav, salmon linguine to them, which they liked...

after the movie, gerald sent us home in his new car, a silver peugeot (didn't look out for the model)... the music system in his car was quite cool, states the title of the song & band name... wish i could say the same for his gps system, which took a long time to load... and my sis (no directional sense in sg, but can navigate us in foreign countries) tried to make us go in circles around orchard... we did finally get home, after his gps worked...

yesterday, me & sis went to ntu to settle some admin stuff... lucky i'm in nus, ntu's super confusing... after that, we met lil (who went to nie) at jp... went to the new jurong west lib, ate brunch at mos burger... due to the forever faulty starhub menu, the cinema timings went bonkers, so we almost missed nacho libre at 1140... had to separate with lil, whom we promised to go to the pet shop with...

anyway this is being pretty random, but this is a pic of a super cute mgs pri girl me & my sis saw on thurs at cristofori... we were waiting for her piano lesson to begin, and this girl (plump, wearing tight blouse) was walking up & down the aisle... looking into every piano studio... haha she was very restless & finally settled down on the floor the read...

karaoke

yesterday went karaoke with my parents, uncle john & aunt doris... we 3 females were just talking the whole time there... about aunt doris workplace & all the mediacorp stars she served... also talked about europe & fashion... while my dad & uncle john were happily holding their own concert... haha sing until zhao-sia... try to blend & do high pitch, low pitch, it was hilarious...

during dinner (break from singing)... i escaped first coz i dun eat crab... & went back to the karaoke... there was this super horrible singing couple (they're always there) & i was tormented by their noise... the guy's super nasal & his wife is super off key... ya they're really compatible, if i didn't know better, i'd think they met at a karaoke & were attracted by their similarities... haha i recorded it & played it for my parents & sis... they kept laughing!

sis outing

argh yesterday went to make new ic, coz the deed poll expires in 28 days... so we went there & there were a bunch of screw ups...

1) went to take ic photo... the stupid woman keep saying that we have to wet our hair coz our hair cannot cover our eyebrows (wtf?!? make me look bald), then the stupid woman say i cannot wear specs coz it causes reflections (wtf 2?!?)... then the stupid woman keep asking my sis to flatten my hair coz it's curly (wtf 3?!?)... in the end, my photo looks like some death certificate... i'm going to throw it away... waste of money... lucky i brought my last nice ic photo...

2) finally we got to the ic counter... and the lady there said that we can't insert our hanyu pinyin name coz it's not in the deed poll... so we called out parents, who hung up on us (coz they were having course)... we had to call our aunt at the firm & she said if we wanted the hanyu pinyin name we had to include in the deed poll (which she didn't tell us), but she ask us to call our parents (who didn't pick up the phone)... in the end thru sms-ing, my father said his ic also dun have hanyu pinyin name... lucky the counter ladies are super nice!

after the big hoo-hah... i went to thread my eyebrow at peninsula plaza (lil's recommendation)... wa it was damn painful... my sis could even hear it outside the room! i kept tearing & flinching haha... plucking so much more comfortable, but the shape's nice & it was cheap... so its a give & take situation...

last stop... cine... sis's treat at suki sushi... buffet... i didn't eat her money worth... never really like sushi (dun eat seafood)... and it was really filling,then we watched waiting, which sucks, no beginning no ending, just lots of bad words & sexual innuendos...



sis & conveyor belt (which she's going to conquer)...



mountain of tempura vegetable compared to a salmon sashimi (dun ask me why, it was my sis idea)...

ya i was really full & dying... really didn't expect that much...

we were really tired at the end of the day... haha came back & pom! zzz on the bed...

renovation

it's like renovation year for my block... now there's some irritating neighbour drilling non-stop for 2 days already... just after my downstairs finished their renovations... it's like he's trying to drill thru the floor or something... i hate renovations, why can't pple just stay put, then i wun have to bother knowing new neighbours too, when my old neighbours are just fine...

and the stupid lift's still under servicing... been "under servicing" for a bloody week & a half, dun see any servicing going on, even the neighhours are starting to talk... my dad called the company up but they dun even know what's going on... the lift has been shut down, maybe their pple are holed up in the lift... or maybe they're importing a whole new lift from japan...

argh i'm being such a bitch... i really hate renovations...

new skin

my new skin's nice right? custom made by my sis... first we looked thru photos online, chose 5 down to 1... but the pic was a no brainer, it was definitely the nicest... and my sis said it's the easiest for blending... other than me choosing the photos & colour scheme, everything else is done by her...

first time i sat next to her & saw how a skin's being made using adobe... wa didn't know that there were so many layers & she had to keep redoing or finding the layers to make changes... all those falling leaves were also individually made & turned... woo i'm so proud of my new skin & my sis haha...

anyway we also realised that her skin & my skin can only be viewed using mozilla firefox... we tried using internet explorer & every measurement was skewed... haha if u're still using ie, please switch to firefox, it's much better...

bidding

always hate this time of the year... choosing of modules... always take a super long time to plan my timetable, have to make sure the exam times do not clash, lecture times are not the same, enough time for tutorials in between lectures & breaks at appropriate moments... and u know what? everytime after i painstakingly plan my timetable, i always dun get some of the modules i want & have to plan all over again... using the little few modules leftover after bidding...

currently, i have been planning for over an hour already... had to keep switching modules coz one of the timings always clash... and i still haven have a finalised timetable yet... it's such a waste of time, really irritating...
