On friday my dad brough me to Sentosa Cove again. He has a couple of projects there and his workers happen to be working OT that friday, so he had to go pick them up after picking his precious daughter (ahem, me) up from hall.
I always love going into Sentosa Cove (but definitely not sitting in the lorry). Outside vivo, i start to see lots of people walking in the direction towards St. James, mostly OLs. Then outside St. James, there'd be lots of cars waiting to enter the carpark, causing a jam which irritated me. Everytime we went pass St James, my dad would ask me if i've been there and i always tell him nope. That friday, dad asked me AGAIN and i said "my friends told me St James is for uncles" and he started to laugh real loud and told me maybe its becos of the chinese bar. Hmm...i wonder if dad has been there with his uncle friends? LOL!
At the sentosa entrance, dad would flash his unlimited one-day-entry receipt to the young girl/boy sitting comfortably in their air-con counter and they would just nod their head to acknowledge. Honestly, i dont think they can actually see whats on the receipt since the distance is so far away. They just dont give a damn i think. The next time i go into Sentosa with dad again, i'm going to flash the receipt (for my earrings purchase) and see whether they let us pass. *evil grin*
On the way towards Sentosa Cove, there'd be blangahs walking along the pavements and the moment they see lorries passing by, they would wave their arms as if they're hailing a cab, hoping that the lorries would stop and give them a lift. My dad says they're quite poor thing cos their contractors make them stay at the site and that results in alot of inconvenience for them. They have to walk damnnnnn long to get out of Sentosa to buy their supplies and damnnnnnn long to get back to their site. Its a freaking long way i swear so some are smarter and rode bicycles, but the slopey roads dont make their journey any much easier. Sometimes, my dad would be a nice man and give them a lift but thats before confirming where's their site or else they have to take a detour which is even further. This happened on friday which made me L.O.L: Dad: where you going? Blangah: sendosa go D: i know sentosa la, we in sentosa now. but where? B: sendosa go D: (still doesnt realise that he's saying 'sentosa cove' while i'm giggling away) ya lah. sentosa la. is it sentosa cove? B: yaya. sendosa go. D: (super confused look) so later inside turn left or turn right? (dad even points his hand in the left and right direction) B: yaya. (nods his head furiously) sendosa go. D: (give-up look) ok ok. go up. When they were behind, dad asked me "veron, so where are they going?" and i just kept laughing and laughing. omg!! the two blangahs damn funny la! they just dun answer any question. but finally they reached their destination cos when dad was about to turn into the right lane of Sentosa Cove, they hit the sides of the lorry to indicate they wanted to get down as their site is on the left. they looked very grateful when they alighted. haha. funny ppl.
Dad never brough me to tour the inside inside areas before, but that night he did cos his workers were not ready yet. The bangalows inside are W-O-W: super posh, super high-class and ENORMOUS! Because there's a security barrier at the entrance of Sentosa Cove, all the bangalows inside adopt the open-front yard concept, meaning there's no fencings or walls around each bangalow. So you can actually walk right up to the front door. And the cars they park outside: Porche, Ferrari, Lamborghini. gosh. walao there's this family which has Lamborghinis in different colours and all of the same number. I WANT TO KNOW HIS SON!!!!
The designs of the bangalows are reeeeeally beautiful. You can actually look into the interior of the house cos the walls are mainly glass. Hmm...very classy but abit no privacy i feel. And there's this unit which has an above-ground pool. so cool! the sides of the pool is made of glass so you can actually see the people swimming inside.
Then my dad drove pass this house which really caught my eyes from afar. Its actually on another 'island' (yes, sentosa cove is divided into many islands). That house is humongous!! i think the owner bought 2 units. The side of the house which was facing me is made of glass entirely and every single room is lit, which made the house look really beautiful! Talk about conserving energy man. lol. The dining room is painted white and there's a super long dining table with white table cloth like those which Kings and Queens dine at. There was very little furnishing which put the main attention on the dining table. Empty but classy nonetheless. How very beautiful...
The best thing about the bangalows: each and every one of the bangalow has its own private jetty where they can park their yacht! its just situated behind the house! so they can sail out to sea anytime they want. did i mention tthat they have a full sea view? heavenly... imagine parking ur car in front and ur yacht behind. and imagine fetching your frens to your house on your yacht! ahhhhhhhh...so cool!!!
The area was very quiet and peaceful at night and i was so thrilled that i cant help but stick my head out of the window and shout "SO COOL!!!!!" hahahhaa...lucky no one threw eggs at me =P
Anyway, single and eligible ladies out there, if you're looking for sugar daddys or extravagant boyfriends, try disguising as a maid and sneak into Sentosa Cove. take a stroll around and if you're lucky, maybe someone will pick you up in his Porche! lol...
For hopeful guys, you can always disguise as a blangah worker and hitch a ride in!!

I don't get it. Why some people can study continuously for so many hours? =( =( =(
going back to hall tonight =( somehow i feel like i'm in the army. book in every sunday night, book out every friday night. lol. except that i can have nights-off anytime i want =P haha lame. okay whatever.
haven been home for abt 2 weeks (becos of cherobics la!) and i really miss home so much!! Getting quite sick of hall life more and more lately. true, there's more freedom but there's more independence and responsibility.
in fact, to say there's more freedom isn't quite right too, it depends on which angle you look at it from. for instance, i cannot walk around bra-less everywhere and i need to make sure i dont look like a mad woman when i walk to the ladies every morning. and when i'm sleeping, i have to lock the doors cos i'm scared ppl will suddenly open the door and see my super unglam sleeping pose.
next comes the clothes part. i'm seriously deprived of clothes/bags/shoes/accessories evertime i'm back at home. so when i need to go out on weekends, i always wear the same shoes, carry the same bag, make do with my sis's clothes and go accessory-less and make-up-less. this alone kills my mood of going out. not that i need to dress up to the nines every single time but sometimes i dun even have a decent shorts to match! i can wear my sis's tops but shorts...her butt is smaller than mine!! so sad right...mummy's unfair!!! lol!!
plus, i hate transporting my stuff to and fro hall every single weekend. its so tiring. to have to make sure you dun leave out anything from hall or home e.g. hp charger or notebook adapter cos it will mean i'll be uncontactable for the rest of the week.
and then there's the getting used to two beds issue. i think i'm more used to sleeping on the bed in hall. i've no idea why but everytime i'll have trouble falling asleep when i'm home, and when i wake up, my entire body felt as thou i've been beaten up by someone over the night. prolly its my sis, she secretly beat me up cos i wear her clothes. LOL~ kidding sis!
but then again, i'm always full of contradictions. i'm afriad that i cant get a room next sem. i want a room very badly cos i am very against taking public transport. i hate hate hate squeezing in the bus/mrt for a place just to stand. and standing and squeezing also means part of my body will definitely be in contact with someone else and god knows what he/she had been doing previously!! sometimes, there's this stench which is seriously unbearable! and standing for 2 hrs from tamp to boon lay is gonna drive me crazy. so i'd rather stay in hall than stay at home.
it doesnt mean that i wont complain even after i get a room. NO! i DONT want a triple-sharing room. no no no no no! for whatever reasons be it social or mental or personal, i just refuse to share my room with 2 ppl. i'm happy with just me and my roomie. call me selfish but i'd rather NOT have a decline in price in exchange for my personal space. i really really hope NTU doesn't implement that plan. whoever needs a place to stay in hall, you go work hard for it or just settle ur accomodation urself k? lol... (no offense to anyone)
anyway, i went for the ultimate forget-my-sadness session yesterday: KBOX!!! singing really can lift my mood now, cos retail therapy doesnt work now. lol. thanks dear for singing whatever songs that i requested for, esp nan yong. haha. my music player is repeating Xin Bu Liao Qing over and over and over now, i'm very obsessed with this song currently. the lyrics is meaningful, the music very soothing and the feel is very intense deep love. i love.

A reminder and consolation to myself:
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Be content with what you have. Do not be affected by what others say about you. Because, no matter how you look like, there will always be people who love you for who you are. And, there will always be people who are born less fortunate than you. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
When ppl say that i have thunder thighs, i am thankful that i am born with normal limbs and i can walk, jump, dance and cheer, unlike ppl who are born physically handicapped and do not have the chance to walk in their entire life.
When ppl say that i am fat, i am thankful that i have enough to eat, i can grow and develop healthily, unlike ppl who live in poverty, never had the chance to feel full and are malnutritioned throughout their life.
When ppl say that i am short, i am thankful that i dun face the problem of knocking my head into mrt handles, against low ceiling on double-decker buses and worry about not being able to find a boyfriend who's tall enough for me.
When ppl laugh at me, i am thankful that i possess the ability to bring joy to others, unlike ppl who are anti-social and are often disliked by their peers.
Do not be disheartened or insulted when your friends give you negative comments. Know that they did that becos they know you well and they know that they can afford to joke with you. And they notice you long enough to observe your appearance, behaviour and habits.
Everyone is born different. We all have something special in us. Embrace your negative points as they make you more human. Remember, if a person love you, he/she will love everything about you.
I am thankful that i have people who love me, and i know they truly love me from the bottom of their hearts. They are my motivation when things seem glum and bleak for me.
ps. okay i noe the being short excuse is crappy =P
