honest mistake.

so the birthday week was crazzzzy once again.
hahah i finished my bloody IRHR essay, telephone interview, writing portfolio, draft major production proposal last wk.
not to mention i still went for the PR gathering at Majestic (which stacey and me got hopelessly lost) and i even had to plan for the chalet on sunday. 
just when i thought that things couldnt get worse or even more tiring, I crashed daddy's bmw on sunday.
reached home on tuesday morning and i spent the whole day sleeping.
i'm so tired, can't emphasize or describe how tired i was.
everything felt like a dream, haha i dont even know how i got through everything.
and the best part is that i just remembered that im flying to taiwan next thurs, and i have a 45% assignment due on the following monday :/
so... that essentially means i need to finish up my work by this weekend.
SUPERWOMAN, POWER UP, GO!

anyway today i'm not going to blog about my birthday party and celebration, because there's something even more important to reflect upon.

daddy didnt scold me for crashing his car, he just went: "girl girl, see la i told you alr. If you're late and anxious, you'll do stupid things like that.'
and it wasn't just a minor scratch or what, it was a freaking HUGE dent on the right back wheel cover.
i crashed it against a pillar in the multi-storey carpark at parkway and there was this effing effing effing LOUD bang.
i swear i would never want to hear something like that ever again.
thinking back, it was a really horrible experience. i just kept crying and crying non-stop.
zx got pissed off at me as well because i was being snappy and irritating.
i have never felt more disappointed with myself.
just when my dad handed my very own keys to me, i had to do something like that to hurt his precious car.
just when he gave me so much money for my silly party, i had to do this to make him pay more for repairs.

and the most remarkable thing is that dad still entrusted me with his car that very night; he left it with me so that it would be more convenient for me to travel and buy things for the 2nd day of the chalet/party.
he paid for my chalet, my hair perm, the food & he stood outside to bbq the whole time.
he took a plane to KL (when he knows how to drive there) for a meeting, so that he can rush back in time to make it for my chalet on sunday.
he took time off to buy a white gold bracelet from KL for me, even when i already told him not to spend any more money on presents.
on tuesday, he even brought cherry down to help transport things from the chalet into his car and sent me home thereafter.

i always complain that my parents don't stay true to their words and do things that hurt me.
i always tell zx how he can never understand the agony i have to go through.
i had come to realise the hard way that my parents can't give me their time and that they can only give me money, so i've learnt to treasure each and every minute spent with them.
but it was only on these few days that i truly understood the fact that people try to make up for their mistakes in different various methods.
like how mum brings me on along on her travelling escapades to make up for the time she was not around us.
these few days, i've discovered how much daddy loves me, how he can accept my flaws and continue pampering me in the best way he could.
no matter whatever wrongs he has done in the past or even now, i truly believe that daddy had never planned to hurt any of us intentionally.
and for the first time in my entire life, i realised that i have really forgiven him from deep down of the bottom of my heart.



i love you daddy.

he gave me a halo and i started to fly.

it'll be awesome if singapore has four seasons.
that way, i can wear clothes that i want w/o being scared of over-dressing.
imagine all the coats, blazers, berets etc that we can all dress up in.
how nice.

didn't exactly had a great week.
fell ill with this terrible sore throat & headache.
flunked my interview analysis of 25%, maybe we've misinterpreted what he said.
gave him something that was wrong, so he only marked the tv section.
would have felt 10x better if he didn't tell me that i would have gotten an A if i didn't make that mistake.
oh boy there goes another chance of hd.
not like my grades aren't bad enough.
heard something which made me upset for like half the day; i ought to start learning how to pluck weeds soon.
had a pr presentation on wed, it was good as quoted from Robert so yeah that makes me happy (:
all the hard work we've put in is worth it i guess.
but im so worn out this wk, battling my sickness & disappointments & deadlines...
im so thankful that the weekends are here, this wk seemed incredibly long.
Silhouette PR Agency!






im just thinking... sometimes i wish im skinner.
i know people will hate me for saying such stuffs but i hate my fat thighs.

do you believe in this thing called... love?

I CANT BELIEVE I MISSED THIS IN THE CINEMAS.
paper heart seems to be one of the most amazing film ever :D
and cloudy with a chance of meatball was good, yeah it's the typical 'happily-ever-after' ending.
but we do need such ideologies and dreams in life, don't we?

met my other half of chatterbox today, it was good as usual.
i feel evil but i find it remarkably amusing that she has finally met her match among the boys she've dated HAHA
and she freaking tempted me with a 1cent ticket for BKK, i can't stop thinking about it omg.
anyhow i miss bitch club a whole lot, including yingjie who kept mia-ing.
im damn excited to run the feature story on her and her dolls (:
it makes me feel so weird and awkwardly happy that i actually enjoy my schoolwork (other than biz) for the first time in my life.
some days i wake up feeling that i should have studied harder for As, but most days i wake up feeling that i should have went mass comm straightaway after my Os.
geez.



 

enjoy your weekends people!

xx

i like to make myself believe, that planet earth turns slowly.

hello world, yes im still alive.
i've just survived through one of my worst week ever (think pms, 5 assignments due, 1 wedding & 1 21st party).
that was only the 3rd week of school and this trimester must be the craziest one we ever had.
assignments after assignments, deadlines after deadlines.
the only people i meet are schoolmates, family and zx goodness.

anw im blogging cause i finally have internet connection, a stable one.
much drama had happened at home and im too lazy to start ranting again.
these few weeks have been jam-packed with assignments, obligations and movie reviews.
and this is why i cant wait for my holiday to turkey at the end of this year omg omg omg!

school may be tough, relationships may be jeopardised, but im still hanging there.
at the very least, even if everything is screwed up, i still have my clothes to keep me company.
if anybody wants to get me a bday present, either get me a new & BIG wardrobe, or just help me sell my clothes away.
im sick of looking at the huge ass luggage and DFS bags of clothes on the floor, hiding below my table.
and its irritating to not be able to move my hangers freely in my closet, without accidentally ruining my vulnerable clothes or breaking the stupid hangers.
and yes im really tired of organising them every other wk so i can fit my clothes in, such as hanging 2 dresses on 1 hanger or even hanging all my jackets onto 2 hangers.
i think my brother is super annoyed with me for putting my jackets and blazers in his closet.
but i love each and every of my clothes too much to give them away, they're like a part of me, remmants of my past and experience.
you might have worn this particular dress for your first date, this blazer for your first interview.. each and every fabric contains a unique memory of you, it might even smell like you or the place that you have been too.
okay i seriously think i need to attend shoppaholic classes and learn.to.curb.my.shopping.desires.

anw, i finally met the rest of bitch club ytd and we did our catching up as usual.
its scary how everybody are taking different paths in life now; what would we be like in 5 years time?
maybe mat would be in australia unwilling to come back, ling married to her rich man who loves her, zihui the independent power woman, yj setting up a doll shop, jin working hard in the corporate world.
what about me?
would i be in my magazine industry writing columns after columns?
in the pr world devising strategies and plans *eww eww eww*?
would i finally relent and decide to work for my mum?
or would i finally be able to relinquish the happily-ever-after dream of opening my personal cafe shophouse?
i really dont know.
while everybody have this specific goal and are working slowly towards it, i feel like im stuck on the road gathering flowers along the way.
perhaps its not a bad idea to build up my portfolio till i find a suitable job and brush up annoying skills in ps, dw, excel, access etc.

mat asked me this question ytd: "omg zhao how can you stand being together with somebody for so long? wouldnt you feel bored?"
frankly speaking, i was surprised with myself because i didnt even take a sec to think and replied her: "nope, im happy with zx. im very used to him being around."
a 4year relationship, watching each other grow (esp zx in mentality and size hahahah), fighting with each other, doing almost every other thing together. yeah, im definitely not bored of it.
simply because, every day i wake up, it feels like a brand new day to me. everytime we meet, whether happy or not, it feels like a whole new relationship to me. even if i know he's such a blockhead at times, i'll still try to drop subtle hints here and there. and even if i know he might not get it, i cant resist using the chance to start chiding him :D
i may not be the best gf around, but i definitely sense the effort he has put into the relationship. i used to hate all the light pecks he places on my forehead because its kinda embarrassing, but im learning to appreciate them now (:
all the petty fights, the love, the anger, the fun, the monotony... i dont think im gona be bored of all these anytime soon.

having said that, im hooked onto owl city because it makes me feel so happy (:
i wonder how is the other half of this blog doing, she *ahem fran* seems to have disappeared.
update soon babe, i miss you thhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiisssssssssssssssssssssss much hahahahahah

hit me like a ray of sun, burning through my darkest night.


so last month i spent a total of $800 on daily expenses, shopping, going out and celebrating FIVE birthdays.
this month is going to be easily my most broke month, just calculated and im left with around $15 per day till 31st ):):
no more cabbing, no more shopping, no more splurging on things i dont even know, just scrimp and save money!
its not helping that school is finally ending this month and we finally have that well-deserved 1 week break.
any poorer, i think i'll have to eat grass.





yay or nay?

honey (:

rawrrrr.

and now you complain that im too skinny, i do eat okay ):
i love eating but i just cant eat much; i cant help it.
it's not my fault that everybody thinks i look skinnier when my weight is still the same ol' rock.
sigh, oh boy.

anyway this morn dad asked if i want a n97 and i stupidly said NO, thinking it's just another free nokia phone.
(you see, my parents are avid supporters of nokia)
only to find out like 3 hrs ago that it's the pretty one that i like omggggg, the white slide up 'designed by you' phone.
AND HE BROUGHT BACK ONE IN BLACKKKKK which totally looks like an iphone wannabe -.-

IM HAVING HIGH HOPES BECAUSE N97 WILL BE TOO COMPLICATED FOR DADDY HEHE I HOPE HE CAN EXCHANGE FOR THE WHITE ONE (:(:(:

*edited*

me: daddy, where is the n97! are you using it?
dad: huh? i left it in car, how to use for driving people like me?!
me: THEN WHY YOU BUY OMG.
dad: cause i have the $500 voucher what, might as well exchange another phone!

so... this adds on to the collection of BLACK nokia phones lying at home gees. 3 months earlier, he just exchanged another n-something using a $500 voucher and he decided that he dont know how to use it.
gave it to my cousin in the end.

i wonder how many phones have he exchanged for himself/us in the past few years.
doesnt matter, anyway i havent been able to choose my phones ever since i left secondary school.
i think i'll make do with black :D

i love this picture <3
this month of july is crazy, broke and busy. time seems to fly and im like in a daze at all times.

next week more outings okay! *pinkie promise*
