oh yes my birthday post is UP! now you all can see how happenings my 21st is. LOL.

13 June, Saturday: Picnic with my primary school girls at ECP.
They got up early in the morning to prepare food and baked muffins! And they gave me a huge surprise at ECP. Althou they were all late (too much of a coincidence?), but i LOVED everything that they did. Thanks darlings! big big hugs!


14 June, Sunday: Lunch gathering with my relatives at 海香楼, Parkroyal Hotel.
I swear this lunch gathering is much better than organising a chalet! I'm super glad that I wasn't pressured to book a chalet, just like what my elder cousins did. Cooling enviroment, glam outfits, yummy food prepared by chefs, food served right up to our tables and a private room all by oursleves are just what I want for my birthday. Thanks daddy and mummy! MUACKS! Thanks dear for the cake!

16 June, Tuesday: Dinner with JC girls at Kenny Rogers, Marina Sq.
I took a cab to MS after work and it cost me a BOMB @#$*&^%!$\ But it was worth it meeting my darlings. I totally adore the gifts box they gave me and most of all, the NOTICEBOARD they designed below! its amazing! i love them girls to death!


16-17 June, Tuesday Midnight: Dear asked me out to pasir ris park around 11plus cos he wanted to be the first one to spend my birthday with me. so sweet of him. he got a sara lee cake from 7-11 for me to blow candles with. thank baby.


17 June, Wednesday: MY BIRTHDAY! It was just a simple dinner with dear at TampinesONE at Say Cheez. The food there is good, but we didnt try their cheesecakes thou, had too much cakes over the days.

18 June, Thursday: Dinner with Sera at Bakerzin, TampinesONE.
we've been wanting to dine at bakerzin together since forever. so glad we finally can eat at the newly open restaurant here :) Sera gave me chocolate truffles and a super pretty umbrella! i love the brolly A LOT! They're both from UK, cant find in sg lor! I'm gonna bring it everywhere i go. And i'm really happy that sera is back in sg for good! no longer have to wait for her holidays to come to sg before we can meetup =D

19 June, Friday: KTV with secondary school friends at Cash Studio.
That was a freaking FUNNY night. i've never sang songs until so high before. imagine us dancing and prancing around in the room like nobody's business. cash studio is gonna be my favourite ktv place now! thanks dear for organising and buying the cake. muack!

20 June, Saturday: Dinner with hall mates at Minds Cafe, Tampines Safra.
Also another ultra FUNNY night! we played Taboo and qq & gerard were hilarious. oh and the cake that peiyao and congyan baked for me is OMG heavenly! i also got uber pretty cards from jieying, xue and ade! i love handmade cards! they're so sweet!! oh i almost forgot! my theme that night was "You're my STAR!" and everyone had to come with star(s) on them. Ter didnt and he got a silly penalty. I know a lot of people cheated anyway, but at least they bothered to cheat. lol. xue was the winner! she's dressed head to toes in stars!

yup, thats about it for my birthday week. after receiving all my presents, i realised a cute coincidence among my presents. I got a lot of presents in pairs, and they're given by different people on different days.









I've been trying to upload my bday pics for hours but they just wouldn't show up. I guess blogger is PMS-ing at the moment. So i guess i'll try again when blogger is feeling better.

Okay for now just some random entry:

1. R.I.P MJ. I believe many people will remember you as the King of Pop for years to come.

2. Go watch transformers! its EXTREMELY action-packed. MUST WATCH =D






my birthday week was really incredible. had sooo much fun and was showered with sooo much love. big big thanks to my family and friends =D

i have tonnes to blog about in my next entry on my birthday celebrations, need to organise the pics and stuff first. till then... :)



anyways, had an argument/debate/discussion (whatever you call it) with him just now. didnt expect things to turn out that way. the feeling sucks, like damn big time. and the worst thing was we're talking on the phone, which makes things even harder to smoothen out. shucks i hate it.

and i can foresee more of such incidents happening in future. becos we're both sorry but not sorry. we're both opiniated. we both dont like to lose. or is it just me?

argh. this is making me cranky. fuck.






presents presents presents. they're such angels to receive yet its a bitch buying them. what to get? will s/he like it? does s/he need it? what's the budget? which design suits best? blah blah blah...so many criteria to fulfil!

been thinking a lot about presents this year. becos people around me are all turning 21. every month there'll be bday parties, every month we'll have to buy present(s), every month i spend a lot of money. help!!!

I can understand the helplessness (and sometimes frustration) when people cant agree on what to buy. So, it definitely helps if the birthday character has a wishlist that friends can make reference to. However, when it comes to your own birthday, you would feel paiseh to tell your friends your wishlist. Its like asking your friends to buy you a present, so bu yao lian right.

Although I feel paiseh to publish a wishlist, I know that it can save my friends/relatives a lot of time and brain juice. After thinking a lot these few days, I'm going to split my wishlist into catergories. Some are totally out of the question (they're there to remind myself to attain them when I can), some are quite useful ideas. Here goes:

1. Wallet - my current one, which i used for 2 years, is still serving me well, albeit quite dirty already. i feel that the cards compartments are not enough too. if i receive one, i hope it'll be a classic and feminine design, and NOT patented. plus, it MUST have a coin compartment.

2. Monthly disposable contact lens - i'm using the last pair now and yes, i need to buy more for trainings and stuff.

3. Diving license - ya i know this is not a need but i really really really hope to be a qualified diver.


1. Room decor/furnishing - okay i've always wanted a house of my own so I can be my own interior designer. but that'll not come true in the near future. however, i do have a room in NTU and i want to make it 'me'. I'm planning to go for the "old english" look. Therefore, think pale pink, white and light brown. Lace, roses and wood. Cosy and romantic setting. Things to get include bedsheet w blanket, curtains, pretty lamp, and many misc. items that I'll be using everyday.

2. Watch - i have one or two already which i'm using alternately. not a need but dont mind more.

3. mp3 - i actually dont have the habit of listening to music while on the go. its a depending-on-mood kind of thing.

4. shades - want them becos i though its cool to wear shades. i have two already, cheap kinds without UV protection.

5. handbags - please. girls, no, women can never get enough of handbags. they're good for so many occasions.

6. dark blue straightcut jeans - eh, erm, ahh...jeans are easy to match with everything.
7. Dye hair - i'm dying to do something to my hair before school reopen. its what Veronica does, ya know.

8. Bikinis & lingerie - ok fine YES i admit i like innerwear. they're much prettier than what we wear on the outside and they brighten up my day. (NO white underwears/briefs please! lol)

9. Clinique products - i heard their products are good. and their adverts attracted me.

10. Foundation & make-up base - my current powder has quite poor coverage and doesnt stay long, i feel like changing foundation but dunno which to choose. then again, i rarely use foundation.

11. Layered necklace - its the trend now!

1. Lasik - no more spectacles!

2. Permanent Hair removal - no more unsightly hair!

3. Freckles whitening laser - no more Seven Sisters on my nose!

4. Car - no more public transport!

5. All-expense-paid shopping spree - no more price comparison and hesitation!

6. Stay in maldives forever - no more fast-paced life!

7. Own a Subway franchise - nice sandwiches everyday!

8. To be 43 kg - LOLLLLLLL!

ok thats about it. i dont mind receiving presents other than whats on this list. i love variety! hope my frens would be creative and sweet =D

turning 21 is a chore, but being 21 is much worst. i hope i can be 18 everyday.

Created a quiz some time back on facebook after wee keat persistently urge me to do so. He wanted to prove that he knew me well, so I created a not-so-easy quiz and invited only him to take it. Unexpectedly, other friends, some whom I'm not very close to, took the quiz too and most of them fail, quite badly.

I'm not surprised at all though. On the one hand, I do not reveal myself much to the people around me. On the other hand, certain qns reflect incidents which took part in different phases of my life and if you're not there with me at that point in time, you most probably would not know the answer.

I hv no idea if anyone would be interested to know the story behind each qns, but i've decided to elaborate on the ans below, at least for my own keepsake.

If you haven't take this quiz, you can attempt it at:

QUIZ

1) My name is given by my
a) Dad and Mum
b) Grandpa
c) Grandpa and Dad
d) Dad
Veronica was given by my daddy, no reason in particular. Leong is, of course, my surname. Mei Ting （美婷） was given by my grandpa, who consulted some feng shui master and tabulated the "match-ness" of my name （笔画） against my date of birth（生辰八字）. Anything more chim than that, I do not know. Whether my name gives me prosperity in my life, I do not know as well. All I know is that I like my name cause it sounds very feminine. =)


2) My childhood dream job was to be a
a) Teacher
b) Air Stewardess
c) Pet shop owner
d) Doctor
Not many people got this correct, those who got it right, I believed they just made a lucky guess. When I was young, my dad frequently took the family to Changi Airport (I loveeeeeeeeed those fish tanks back then!!). There, SIA girls were introduced to me and I thought that they were the prettiest girls in singapore! I even bugged my mum to buy the mini SIA uniform for me and I loved wearing it to changi airport =D If I have a chance, I hope that I can fly with SIA after I graduate and get to see more of this world (that is if SIA chooses me).

Being a teacher was my next dream job but it wasn't for long. Then, I realised my love for animals and I wanted to open a pet shop. After watching too much tv, I wanted to be a career woman working in Shenton Way on the top-most level of the highest building. I've never really wanted to be a doctor until I was older.

3) I would really like to be a
a) Air stewardess
b) Dermatologist
c) Researcher
d) Actress
Surprisingly, quite a number of friends got this qns right! At around JC age, I was very fascinated by how different people have different skin quality and the different usage of the various skin care products. Also, I realised how women are madly into the skincare and cosmetics industry and I know this field had immense potential. This became one of my current interest (besides food, animals and travel) and I really really want to be a dermatologist, although I know that it's highly impossible.

4) I have done all of the below except
a) Boutique assistant
b) Image consultant
c) Promoter
d) Food seller
Most people chose image consultant, but i really was one before!! But for a week only! lol! It was the most stupid job I've done and the company has the stupidest marketing strategy. Even low-paying jobs like food seller (at Home Team NS & primary schools), tiger beer promoter (oh yes for 2 days for CNY) or cashier are much more enjoyable than that Image Consultant job. Anyway, I've never sell clothes before even though I really want to try it.

5) Which sports have I not tried before?
a) Cheerleading
b) Wushu
c) Dragonboating
d) Floorball
e) Hockey
No one chose Cheerleading cos somehow everyone knows that I'm a cheerleader. Wushu was done in secondary school. Dragonboating and hockey in JC. Floorball, nope, not yet.

6) What do I like to do when I'm happy?
a) Sing!
b) Shop!
c) Eat!
d) Movie!
ALOT of people chose sing and shop. The fact is I eat when I'm enjoying myself, like at friends and family gatherings, parties, relaxing at home. When I complete something, like an assignment, project or cheer competition or performance, I reward myself by eating my favourite food.

7) What do I usually do when I'm sad/stressed?
a) Call Wee Keat
b) Eat
c) Sleep
d) Cry
Most people chose call wee keat and eat. And if I'm not mistaken, nobody chose cry. Probably I dont look like the kind who cry easily, but, I cry to myself quite frequently when I'm upset. I cry in the showers, cry before I go to sleep, cry when I'm alone in my room. I usually feel better after crying. And NO, i dont eat when i'm sad, i usually dont have the appetite. That's why I lose weight when I'm stressed (exams, cheer competition) and gain weight when I'm happy! Calling wee keat is an everyday thing la. Happy, sad, angry, nothing to do i'll call him.

8) I'm extremely pissed off by
a) Crowded places
b) Tailgating
c) Menstration
d) All of the above
This is a brainless qns and everyone got this right. I hate crowded places and having to weave thru the crowd. I hate taking MRT and buses, esp when it's crowded, becos I dont like people to accidentally brush against me. I hate drivers who tailgate and highbeam, not only at me but at other drivers as well. I find that extremely rude. It doesnt mean that the whole world have to give in to you when you're in a hurry. I almost always lose my temper and break down when I'm menstrating. My hormones always go crazy during this period and I have difficulty controlling my emotions. I hate how I feel during this period.

9) My first overseas trip without my parents is to
a) Indonesia
b) Malaysia
c) Taiwan
d) Thailand
None of my friends got this right. Most chose M'sia or Tw. The first trip I went without my parents was with Seraphina to her house in Indonesia for a week. There, Sera and her godparents took very good care of me and brought me around Jarkata. I saw for myself how backwards Indo was and the huge financial gap between the rich and the poor. However, it was an enjoyable trip overall. I felt that I was very brave. Wahahah! Then, I went to Tw with kes and vernise after 'A' level. We planned the whole itinery and booked everything ourselves. damn proud of our achievements. Next was Thailand trip with cheer people. M'sia was with wee keat to Redang. But I missed travelling with my family. Hope that the next one will be soon!

10) I would really love to
a) have my own car
b) get married
c) visit maldives
d) have my own house
This was quite difficult too. I hope to have my own car but that is if I am financially stable. I dont wish to get married, yet. In a few more years maybe. I wanna visit maldives, a lot a lot. That place is Heaven on Earth. But what I wish for most, would be to have my own house, be my own interior designer, have my own privacy, do my own things, have the freedom to live my own life.






before my exams ended, i stated down my agendas.
my achievement so far:

i wanna visit T1. visited, nothing special except for the art shop (in my opinion)
i wanna go fly a kite with dear. will be going this saturday, but not with dear, with anouka.
i wanna take a walk around botanical gardens. not fulfiled...
i wanna go jet skiing. not fulfiled...
i want to go REDANG! going soon!! =D
i cant wait for my birthday surprise. waiting =P
i want to have lots and lots of time to plan for dear's birthday. shh..secret :)
i want to bake. i baked today!
i want to sit-at-home-and-rot-all-day. haha! almost everyday!
i want to exercise. yes i did =)

Baking was fun today. one of the easiest recipes i've tried so far. got it here:
http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Cream-Puff-Shells/Detail.aspx

pictures below!

recipe says just nice for 12 LARGE puffs, and indeed, i made 12 LARGE puffs, used up all the batter. but i think my oven is too small for 12 LARGE puffs, they're all squeezing for space.
















i have this thing for beaches and resorts.

everytime when i'm stressed, i'll google for information and pictures of popular island destination like maldives or redang and just oogle at them. so damn therapeutic.

cant wait for redang trip.
cant wait for langkawi trip.

cant wait for this damned exam days to end.
