yes, i gave it a miss again, yesterday. was really disappointed since i've been wanting to go since 2 months ago. the plan kinda got screwed up wit a few unable to make it and when we wanted to still go ahead, it was a lil too late. sigh. thought i could happily party wit poptart since i ain't working. unfortunately, things just didn't go my way.
let's hope i ain't working the next poptart.
anyways i had a perfect sleepover at bern's-the perfect host- on friday night. it was good and fun, triggering happy and doing our usual silly antics. thanks for cooking for me! haha.
and sorry for the burn which i sorta caused. =( anyways, she cooked more than the fish and veggie in the peeks. we had some western deep fried fish and prawns too. it was yummilicious! i swear! i didn't say that just to make you happy lah!haha. and i wanna return to 'yum tong'!(cantonese for drink soup) jun hai ho sek and ho yum!' pigging out is good indeed. i feel so fat now!
now i hafta skip meals for two days.
as if.
too bad we didn't manage to watch 'Connie and Carla'. it's some trans show right? but Amélie was really good. prefekt picture colors, an interesting story about her, together with fresh proverbs. i want a boyfriend like Amélie, creative,cute and fun! thanks to bern. =) of 'cos a sleepover will only be complete wit junk food and drinks(which included alcohol). American Pie 2 was on the list tooo. both great shows.
well, wit girls, comes cam-whoring. we triggered happy the whole night. tee hee hee. so, feast your eyes on the peeks below! but if you're quite sick of 'em, then, 'don't see lah! noone's forcing you!'
of 'cos you gotta work that new gadget you just brought home, right? i'm still excited over it. good. heeee.
anyways, we woke up on a late saturday noon and had lunch before heading back home sweet home. did my thang as a couch potato for the whole saturday night. yawn.
anyways, i shall blog about today's outing wit ma folks tomorrow. it's already 6am!omg! hope my dad's not up anytime soon otherwise it's gonna be hell for me.
goodnight(i mean morning) people! =) sweep the monday blues away!
tired girls dislike the disturbing ones.
nice stussy tee!
and merry...
we got so bored, we decided to send a sms to mtv. even that nigga was saying 'yeah!' to that message!LOL
L(oser) or J(ackson)?
there was once a gurl who hated books,
until she chanced upon a lovely book.
so she just thought,heck, why not give it a read.
hell did she like it after.
screenshots of Amélie. she is sooo pretty!
a shot wit audrey purrls.
a perfect film,good junk food and plenty of drinks. just what you need to get phat.
by bern.
too much vodka for you maybe?nah,she was just plain tired.
the pocky monster!
ikan bilis for supper anyone?
her lovelies.
alchie alert! 'free testing of my private collection.'tsk tsk.
one of the first few peeks taken by new cammy from my window.
boobs as round as huge round eyes.
eyes as sparkling as champagne bubbles.
chef of the day: miss sous chef woo aka wife of mr j. tan.
yes, indeed it was one yesterday.
only recently did i notice the beyewtiful dimlylit polka-dots under frosted glass at T2, mrt. it's just my favourite- not that you don't know by now. okay, i know, i'm quite blind to only notice now. damit.
anyways was out for popeye's -again- and of 'cos watching planes park and take off- which you most probably wouldn't miss wit every visit to the airport.
earlier in the noon, my heart leaped when a lady called to inform me that new cammy is in town already! woo weeeee.
of 'cos anxious me went to suntec after to bring her home. tee hee heee.
actually till now, i haven't quite finished reading the manual. i'm more excited about bringing her out. haha.
i certainly am gonna bring her out tomorrow and get her working! yey! =D
again, i ain't working this weekend.
it's a piece of bad news 'cos it means no moolah. yet, it's good news too, 'cos it means poptart this saturday! wheeee!
placebo is at zouk right at this moment. partying with zoukettes, maybe? or prolly zouk will be quiet on a thursday night. if only i got to go for the SFF. imagine 'em chanting to Protège Moi in the Tent. hhhhmmmm....
this song's always on constant playback in my head after i listen to 'Once More With Feeling: Singles 1996-2004'. nah, didn't manage to get tickets for the event in the end. nearly every fashion show is accessible only to peeps wit invites. =(
i'm still yearning to go on a holiday though i'm cashless. argh. somewhere in the west.
but australia will do just fine. not too cold but yet ain't hot either. somewhere with a countryside where you can stay over at a farm instead of the boring hotels. waking up every morning to the smell of morning dew, try milking the cows, go horseback riding(i only tried ponyback riding when i was very much younger), have some good american breakfast( though not in america),etc. or getting to the top of a mountain to take scenic shots, go for a swim/snorkelling in the deep blue sea, visiting theme parks, visit some old crumbling building wit old victorian facade, good food and experience the difference in shopping outside singapore. sigh. how i wish!
well anyways, have a nice and sweet weekend people!
i thought the australian airplane looks good with those dots at the back.
as you can see, it was quite a polka-dotty day for me.
sara: don't you dare flip me off! tsk tsk.
flashback
effie and the puke queen.
sara was trying to imitate the fag of 'memoirs of the geisha'(you'll get what i mean if you managed to catch it on youtube.)
the young punk who's into iron maiden.tsk tsk.
looks as if taken in some club...
thanks to leslee for the following peeks...
yes i did it again. the blurist effie has again committed some dumb mistake and erased her post before posting. shite. damit. and it was a fucking long post.
anyways the popsluts went for poptart last thursday. what a waste, i didn't catch kings of convenience though i only managed to catch Erlend(only,where's eirik?) in the flesh. he came for poptart too. everyone complimented the concert saying it's one of the best show caught in spore. argh. why didn't i get the tickets earlier?!
i don't know why but poptart likes to hold their sessions at Home club whenever i have to return to work. grrr. guess i'll just have to try surviving one whole day of standing and serving and spatting saliva into potential customers' faces for poptart at night.
i certainly hope i can make it for poptart. or rather, hope my legs can make it.
poptart at esplanade was fun but a lil too short. i miss hopping to morrissey, franz ferdinand, the postal service and more! it ended at oh-so-early, 2am. and it was freaking hot.
singapore is just toooo hot. =( i need to travel to somewhere cold and avoid the crazee heat.
i hate returning to work and excited people who yearn to work and of 'cos questions asking if you've got a job already. it just seems so pressurising. i still wanna play! when do you ever get months of holidays? and i do mean holidays, no tutorials, no stress, no workloads, no nuffin.
guess i'm kinda afraid to return to work 'cos i've already forgotten everything about the handsets. maybe i should work as a janitor or something. no need for any knowledge.
i got inspired by bern while talking about my coussie mr j. tan:
Effie™ mascara bleeds a blackened tear says:
y he nv bring me to HK!
Effie™ mascara bleeds a blackened tear says:
why!
bernice says:
dun blame him lah
bernice says:
u nv grab hold of chances
bernice says:
ask him to give u job
Effie™ mascara bleeds a blackened tear says:
haha give me what job man
Effie™ mascara bleeds a blackened tear says:
im just a grad
bernice says:

bernice says:
haha
Effie™ mascara bleeds a blackened tear says:

Effie™ mascara bleeds a blackened tear says:
haha
Effie™ mascara bleeds a blackened tear says:
shite u!
i wouldn't mind being the coffee girl( instead of coffee boy) you know. running errands for 'em would be a pleasure. haha. bring me to HK and paris tooo! dream on effie.
last saturday was sorta like a family gathering in celebration of Jiarus' 12th birthday. i finally got to meet my cutesy niece( i assume since she's my cousin's daughter?), Haruka, who i haven't seen for years. she's sucha sweet and well disciplined girl. japanese really are good at bringing up their kids. unlike singaporeans who only spoil 'em at a young age( i mean the ones that are young now, not us big kids). imagine ill- disciplined kids who run around, shouting and screaming around the dinner table while you patiently have your long-awaited dinner. eeeek. damn irritating.
met up wit chan yanyan yesterday. i haven't seen this les(oops.) for sucha looooong time. we ended up meeting in the evening for lunch and having cakes at Hans for dinner. as usual it's some peekture taking outing for us but my cammy sucks. so much noise and all shots turned out blurry! think it really is aging. aahhhhhhhhh can't wait for the new one to come!
les, we shall head out for more photo-taking sessions after i get my hands on the new cammy, okay!
i need moolah for a new pair of glasses. my eyesight seems to have worsened. shux. things seems to be blurry at a nearer distance compared to the past. maybe i should beg my parents to get me a new pair before my eyesight deteriorates further. or prolly wait for 'em to strike 4D or something instead since it'll seem like skinning 'em alive to pay for things i need/want.
wonder what's in store this week for me. tanning? swimming? or read that book which has been collecting dust at one corner of my room?
and that ediotic sis of mine's coming back from KL later in the noon. she better get me something since she discreetly left on that friday morning. i only knew from mum that she left for KL on the afternoon she departed.
she' sucha sweet sis who didn't bother to bring her poor, rotting-her-ass-off-at-home sis along for the holidays. =(
guess i'll just sit and pray for that new cammy to arrive sooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn.
oh yeah, and pray for moolah to rain.
some tribal monster out of tiramisu!
'why you taking the bougainvilleas for?!' 'i dunno, just felt like.haha.'
the ghost of yanyan.
the best of the lousy shots.
catch her in the flash.
damn.see how much this cammy sucks?argh.
as usual,you get forced by yanyan.haha.
we spies, we slow hands
popsluts of poptart
take 5. desperately in need for air and water.
they were feeling kinda tired before it even ended.lol.
well do you,do you do you want to...
you're lucky, lucky,you're so lucky

the IT fair over the weekend has done just that. now i gotta survive on less than 50 for the rest of the month. omg. never have i felt this poor before. goodbye to my new bikini. grrr. i sooo need a new one.the old one is loose as it has expanded by quite a few inches.
sigh, hopes of travelling to nearby countries at least are banished. i can't even take a ferry to Redang now, not even Bintan! =( i have to really start saving from scratch to go to my Japan, NYC and Europe and drag my arse to work. sigh.
please dial 1800-help-effie now. thank you.
i can't wait for new cammy to arrive! wheeee! blardy hell, out of stock that day. should have went for the fair earlier! otherwise i'll be out clicking like a mad woman.i didn't mean it literally.
settled for the new ixus 60 which is better than the now defunct ixus 50.
i <3 the 'colorsplay'(or 'colorplay') function! even the 6.0 megapixel is a big plus compared to my old 2.0 megapixel one. wonder how the increase ISO800 will perform though.
even thinking of my new cammy now makes my heart tingle. heee.
now i'm anticipating month end.
pictures are uploaded already. from last week's monopoly session, popeye's wit ma buddies and granny's birthday dinner at marche.
sorry for the poor image quality people. i promise that pretty peektures will be up soon
! woo hoooo!
yey! can't wait for poptart this thursday! seems like an outdoor event is not that bad. at least i don't have to spend on booze. pray it doesn't rain or ain't to hot. but then, we'll still party to hot hot heat!
in the meantime, i gotta survive solely on bread.
have a good holiday peeps!

effie and darling char
monopoly,the singapore edition.
who's da richest?char of 'cos.
the money snatcher.
finally, it's time to really sit back and relax, indulge in what i'm best at. keke.
seems like my week has liven up wit more activities. and of cos, i've became lazier to blog too. i'd rather spend my time on other stuff - films, south park, newspapers, TV- than on blogging.
she's at taiwan now, so no zouk tonight. envy envy. i wanna visit taiwan too! sigh. or hong kong will do just fine(i know,duh). maybe a short getaway would be good too? like to redang by cruise frm SGD$349 per pax. sounds good to me. that would help save me a fortune, instead of visiting HK where i'll start spending on the oh-so-beyewtiful and oh-so-cheap accessories and clothes.
now i just need to return to work and start earning the bucks. having not worked for a month has made me lazy again. or rather, a lil afraid to return to work. think i forgot everything about the handsets. shux.
sorry if the uploading of the new pictures made your lappy/com laggy. that's just too bad. lol.
was at kim's 21st birthday party last saturday. it was a rather disappointing one as we didn't get a chance to talk to her 'cos she was too busy talking to her polymates instead. we were basically just there to pass her the gift and wish her only, sadly.
then it was to rong's place for The Longest Yard and mahjong! it never fails to perk me up! mahjong's really fun and addictive, even without gambling, okay. The Longest Yard was quite a good film, the that's motivational and yet humourous.
the faculty test before that sucked totally. i didn't manage to finish all 6 frames of the last question. only did 5. argh. hope the others gonna fare worst than me. hee heeee. but i doubt so, think i'll have to settle for SIM instead.
caught munich wit james on monday. it was not as good as i expected, maybe that's why it didn't win any oscars. i wanna catch Brokeback Mountain!!!!!
and it was my first time trying Carl's Junior. the burgers there are indeed gigantic. thanks to james for the treat. next one's on moi!
herman, next trip to s'pore you hafta try, yeah. i doubt HK has Carl's Junior, right?
tuesday was supposedly good 'cos of the tanning session, but the sky was too darn cloudy. always happens! soooo irritating. infact, today was bloody hot wit clear skies. the sun was burning into my skin while i was out on my way to the prata place at upper thomson.
the prata was not bad, though i didn't eat much. can u imagine?effie, didn't eat much?
my lips hurt so much from the after effects of tanning. ouch. it was monopoly session at my place today! yey yey! darling char didn't join us for prata but still came my place. what's meeting without bitching right? so you could guess what we did. haha.
haven't touched monopoly for a freaking long time. it is a fun game indeed! wit crazee/loud sara and james fighting over money and laughing at silly jokes. lol. peektures will be uploaded soon. i hope. haha.
popeye's again tomorrow wit bud and liang! yummy! i better not get sick from all these heaty stuff.
hang in there people, for the weekend's here soooonnn! though it doesn't really matter to the peeps in poly now. hahaha.
i need another tanning session sssoooonnnnnnnnnnn.
master and disciple
who's the fairest of 'em all?muahahaha.
buddo and effie

and do the weirdest things.
nicky boy is sucha cutey
they never fail to make me look fair. but then,liang can't do anything about it either.

thump-thump
so which path to go?
a perfect candid
does this look emo to you?
doing the robotic moves
stucked on who?
strolling,that's what we do best.
everything is beyewtiful in this.
a passer-by was on the verge of laughing out loud when he saw this.
you've got mail.
history soon
to skool of 'cos. we had one last look at NP before graduating today. 'FINALLY!' everyone seemed to scream in their hearts( or some aloud, in the case of sara and james) after IB paper today. IB ain't as tough as i expected, thank god! selective studying ain't that risky after all, for my case which i skipped two chapters. hee hee. as usual, i couldn't concentrate yesterday instead it drifted to what i should do after exams and popeye's! hahaha.
we, the hungry souls zoomed to the airport after the paper. the journey there took us like 1 hour plus? omg. haha. but we didn't let that time go to waste. right babes? hahaha. we had complimentary dessert-hot gossips- after lunch. but, i must agree that the portion kinda shrunk. sadly.
after that we checked out the new place at bugis( really heung gong style) and strolled to city hall where we had yoshinoya for dinner. think i've been stucked at home for too long, i was feeling damn good after we plopped down on the comfortably cushioned armchairs. felt really damn tired after a whole day out.
maybe it was due to the lack of sleep accumulated for the past few nights. i can actually stay up till 4am now to chat and do some rubbish online when i slept for only 4 hours last night?! i still ain't feeling the release of pressure, but i think it should be acting on me soon.
no obligations anymore! now i can go anywhere i want, anytime without the worries of reports/ presentations/ tutorials and project meetings! yey! heee.
it kinda scares me how time seems to fly by. it seems like yesterday that we were freshies and just overnight, we're graduating. the exams also seem to pass in a jiffy. it still feels as if i'm still studying for SMM now.
so, being the last day of skool, we gotta take some shots to 'commemorate' this special last day.
i'll really miss skipping lectures and interrupting tutorials with our laughter and talks. =(
and to Chin Shi Hui, why did you leave early after paper today and not wait for us?! grr.
can't wait for Monopoly with you babes( and maybe james) at ma crib soooon! heeeee. next weeeek!
dear darlings,
i'll really miss you babes a whole load! remember to meet up often yeah! i'll miss hanging out after skool and sitting under the many umbrellas at co-op bitching and just chilling. aaawwhhh. let's go for shopping therapy and chill-out sessions sooon! love you babes!
xoxo, ethel.
'and love the sound of you walking away,you walking away'
we ain't gonna need to climb this hill again
the last peek at campus
the trainride from west to east was a killer.
i need to concentrate on mugging and not idle online!
i need to concentrate on mugging and not idle online!
i need to concentrate on mugging and not idle online!
i need to concentrate on mugging and not idle online!
i need to concentrate on mugging and not idle online!
now i shall chant this for the next few hours to force my brains to concentrate.
i really must stop msning with the others. which means gossipping online wit 'em again. hahaha.
BB ain't as tough as i thought, but it easy either of 'cos. but overall, should pass lah. haha. i can't seem to force my face into notes, lack of concentration again. what's new anyway.
anyways, 2 down! 1 more to go! yeeeeeeeyyyy!!
i really can't wait for thursday to come! it'll be the last day of my polytechnic life. sigh. think i'm really gonna miss poly. wonder why that feeling only came in now. but i still want my reward-popeye's- after the paper! whee! i'm sure the airport would once again make me miss checking into the departure hall and flying off.... and i miss hk! i know, that's like damn fast, but, yeah. sigh. the food, the shopping, the fun, the chills! omg.
damn the freaking early 9am paper! this leaves me wit even less time to mug. thought i'll mug through a sleepless night tomorrow but there's meeting on thursday evening! i wonder which meeting is really important since they claim that every one is very important.
now i gotta get a goood night's(morning) sleep and wake early to continue with my hardcore mugging!
HAPPY 21st BIRTHDAY AIWEN! hee.
sorry i couldn't be there but have a smashing good time yeah! =)
