because i love the way you dance with me
mambo on wed with the polly! omg.. someone became clubbergirl 88 already. whoo hoo.. met jon there too. and im suprised we only took a few photos that night.
jon the techno-cat.. or so he calls himself
My Second Home: 33 Haji Lane, Pluckamazingly ive been spending most of my weekends there. least its fun! mending the shop alone on thursdat night was quite a pain, just so quiet.
met up with dawn again for lunch on fri, our usual, Toast. its been so long but we still cant get sick of the place. and we've been having craving for the wraps since monday! adrian joined us for a bit and after that it was off to our shopping! yep, i finally got my miu miu wallet! and loving it! i still want the coffer! or a nice marc jacobs wil be just as good.
town was boring as usual. nothing new and exciting so we ended up having some sweets at Canele. it's gonna be my new chill out tea place. the cakes are simply gorgeous! and tucked away at paragon where you hardly get the usual crowds. after which it was off to Pluck for work. there's a new shop at Haji Lane again! and it's cool. Polly bought a pretty dress! Haji Lane's starting to grow on me. somehow its always serene and homely there. people from the other shops are really friendly, so it's good!
dawn's making it her 2nd home too! hehe..ive always wanted to have a shop, if only i have the resources to buy it over. that'll be great. seriously.
dawn polly tan and me!
haha.. girl, ure like the sister i never had!
jihan, the adorable little boy who keeps running in and out of the shop
it's really not easy to say no so such an innocent face
crazy things and usual ways
fri night was spent playing
THE IMPOSSIBLE QUIZ at the shop, which was insane. and then we got bored. and started waving at random people walking across. it was so quiet till bout 930 when this huge group of people suddenly came in, and ive never seen Pluck THAT crowded before. the guys came down to close the shop, and we went for teochew porridge before heading down to zouk!
friday night zouk with kieron and yiming was rather insane. had a few shots, and somehow it just went straight to my head. so.. it got a little crazy on the dance floor. somehow everything was funny! one thing i learnt is that looks are deceiving. the more decent you look the wilder you are. seriously. i loved the butterscotch shots! really have to open a bottle the next time i go.
jas!
poor jon who was so super stressed out from his essay

flirting with the stormit was pretty amazing how awake i was today after all the partying last night. my first day alone at Pluck today. well not quite i would say.Mr Boss Adrian came to open the shop, so had lunch with him. which means sharing food. somehow i dont get why he's into the whole sharing thing. its funny. but yay for a healthy lunch. thank god it wasnt the typical charbeehoon or whatever oily packed food that is commonly known as 'lunch' to the general population. cold pasta and garden greens were great. pasta was good. so after, i was pretty much alone in the shop. until shaun came by to hang around. um.. ya.. i has nachos! so yay! azy, sam, vincent and justin came by to deliver the zouk flyers. so so glad i could sit and chat the afternoon away with them. UNLIKE TUESDAY! omg. tuesday still pisses me off oh well. it was hilarious hearing stories of weird pple working in the entertainment industry. for that moment, it didnt felt like work at all! awesome. if only work could be like that. the rest of the day was spent running around trying to entertain the kids living down the road that kept running in and out of the shop. i felt like a baby sitter. and they kept asking for things, and you know how difficult it is to say no to the pair of cute innocent eyes starring at you. so i struggled and gave the dear my packet of nachos. after mr boss came to pass me the keys and left, it got a but freaky. i dont know why. perhaps it was the dark skies and quietness of the street. closing up alone was quite scary. i was certain i heard some weird ass sound/music, which i am still convincing myself it was my imagination while closing up. and damn i had to call to ask how to arm the shop before i could leave. i was this close to running out of the shop actually. i just dont like being alone. bahhh. thank god today's gonna be the first and last. seriously seriously. there was something magical about the weather today. since the moment i woke up, it didnt quite feel like singapore. grey skies, cool breeze and thick clouds. im totally loving it!

all about the chasezouk was madness as usual. only this time it was crazily fun with dawn and ele! its so so so rare that ms polly goes to zouk! omg! maybe i can go buy 4-D. company was great. the girls plus kenny, ian and friends, and jean and kieron and yiming. madness. phuture was disgustingly packed. sardined to the brim with sweaty bodies. week after week i tell myself im never going back in yet i always get dragged and stuck in there struggling and fighting to get out. it's crazy as hell. really sad that the music was good. andrew chow's predictably good.so it was mambo. and the drinks really went straight up to my head real quick. probably because i didnt really eat alot for dinner. it was really funny watching how everyone's so lost in following the mambo king do his moves. supper at spize later on then it was back to crash. relatively a good night, but lacked the spontaneous crazy randomness that used to happen. i could use a crazy getaway soon..

throwing away tiffany'si dunno what's wrong today. perhaps it was the lack of sleep, or getting up on the wrong side of the bed. i was feeling super restless and cranky the whole day! horrible. i swear the bloody tiffany's ring is cursed. everytime i wear it i'll be all moody and cranky. i don't understand why i circum myself to such torture, of replaying the overly exaggerated mellow drama in my mind over and over again. to allow myself to feel what its like to be so stubborn and shoot myself in the foot by not giving up on you earlier, to experience that fould taste of regret that i should have been smarter. i absolutely hate it. everything just seem to be dampen by the restlessness. maybe its because im so sick of people asking me the same question over and over again: "dea, why don't you have a boyfriend?" excuse me, do i look like a so fucking know the answer?! if i do i wont be single right?! tel me who doesnt want someone to love them?! it irks me whenever i get asked that. and i get it ALOT. why?! would someone please just explain it to me already.. im perfectly happy the way i am now anway. not that im in any need of a guy, but no one in the right mind would choose not to have someone love them. seriously. god made more than one man so we could love one another. love makes the world go round. cliche, but its true.so its goodbye tiffany's. things weren't so bad thanks to amelia!! crazy girl who makes me laugh! at least i have someone to play with and do stupid things with! yay!
artsy babe amelia
work at pluck has been pretty alright. the girls are nice, and lets just say there are both good and bad times. its nice when everyone's around and just hanging out. but certain things just makes me think twice about staying. i absolutely hate HATE being bossed around. is it that difficult to just ask/tell me nicely?! so what if uve worked there way longer than i am?! and we are only humans, i cant guarantee that i can be on time ALL THE TIME! it aint my fault if the freakin taxi doesnt aye! yes.. i am still pissed about that. probably because i am very very particular when it comes to work and being professional on the job. i do not take things for granted, neither so i like to slack off and get paid. its called a job for a reason. just because i tell you it was slack at bnj doenst mean we were slacking. we get shit done. ure not even my boss for crying out loud. omg.. i so needed to rant and let it all out.
for a moment that day i actually felt like telling you that i quit. cuz i cannot take being bossed around. but u are my friend, and the guys were nice and it wouldnt be very polite of me to do so, so i had to suck it all in. everyone gives off vibes. and we kinda rub off each other, so it wouldnt kill to be nicer a bit and smile a little. it'll make things easier and everyone else happier.
sometimes i dont get how we tend to take the people we are close to for granted and forget to show them that we love them. why is it that we are polite and nice to unfamilars and strangers, and we dont give a shit when it comes to our friends?! these are all subconsciously happening and we dont even realize that we are doing it. it's pretty sad.
perhaps thinking about it has gotten me all cranky and irritated. dont get me wrong, i love working at pluck and i love the people there. i just get irritated when i get bossed around by people of same authority.

missed hanging out with u girl!
with dawn, kenny & his friends..
shaun offered us a lift home. in his van. it was an adventure. seriously. i thought it was gonna be like a mini van thing with proper seats. but it was the exact same kidnapper's van, just like those they use in movies where they shove u in and tie u up. i was a tad bit freaked out. we were falling all over whenever the van made a turn. i felt like i was being kidnapped.
dawn was waaayyy tipsy by that time so we kept on laughing at everything!
the donut ladies!
geok, liyi & yuki!
crazily fun project mates!

any other world
changes, new environment, new faces. the feeling of a fresh start always seems appealing. the past familiarities have somewhat receded in the sea of what i call, 'everything else'. i like the unknown. getting the adrenalin rush of not knowing what ure gonna get, the whole mysterious thing always works. somehow, time has been racing by as well. days are flying past, so quickly you can still clearly remember what the first day of uni was like, or how it was to start working.
the past weeks have been pretty mixed up. like both busy, yet slack at the same time. i cant believe saturday just passed like that. or maybe it was the fact that fri night ended at 7am on saturday morning, so it was just waking up to dinner and a little work at Pluck and that's it. feels unnatural to be so unproductive for a day. it's just wrong. signs of a workaholic i guess. It's been a week since i started work at Pluck. somehow work doesn't seem like work. perhaps its the whole feel of the place. the quiet lane tucked away from all the noise and probably the world. i like it there. or maybe it's just because I've always wanted to have my own shop. Adrian and the guys are nice. big kids, like how Sharon would describe them. fri night felt like a night hanging out with the guys. what can i say, boys will always be boys. so there i was selling things, scooping ice cream, and being official photographer for the night. it was very much entertaining. i never knew i'd turn red THAT easily. for no reason too! why?! it's bad. and i don't get how amusing it is. anyway..it was funny seeing how many female customers got scared away. like i say, guy will be guys. was fun anyway.
so fri night started off late. very late! thanks to z who came to pick us up. it was off to dempsey's for some waffles and ice cream with mae, jolene and the guys. then it was party at zouk! making space at phuture and laughing at weird random guys. hilarious. phuture was full house by the time we got there. so it was pretty crazy. thanks to nic and azy for the no queue and free entry!

beyond limitations
went for jazz technique classes with sharon today. omg. it was painful. probably cuz i have not done dance in quite a while. so all the stretching kinda hurts. but it was fun nonetheless. some weird things i saw today:
father christmas! ok.. a look alike. such a funny fuddy-daddy sorta look.
this girl who wore like a rather hideous polka dotted dress WITH crocs. i thought the dress was bad. know those online poofy kind. till i looked down and saw the crocs. no one, NO ONE should ever ever think of wearing those. sometimes i really wonder, dont you look yourself in the mirror and think, "what the hell am i thinking?!"
and i realize it's the first wed night in quite a while that im home instead of zouk. amazing.

fragments of the same dead star
meet up with jas for some shopping and dinner at baker's inn. havent been there in a while and i guess their food's not that bad now. the dessert tapas came in pretty funky cups. as usual, i loved the furniture and decor more than the food. 
chocolate caramel hazel nut crunch, black sesame ice cream, raspberry and caramel pana cota & cheese cake.
sinfully pleasurable.
jas and i

anyway.. quick update, since i realize it's been pretty dead here. school's been keeping me pretty busy. not that there's alot of work, just that everyone's being so competitive and mugging so hard so it's pretty preasurizing not catching up. i don't think ive studied that much before. as usual, it's a drag.
things have been going pretty ok for work and stuff. but certain things are just intolerable. im nice, that doesnt mean i can be cheated. as the saying goes, once bitten twice shy. so you can kiss your plans goodbye, cuz truths will always surface, it just takes time. seriously, it's pretty sad to leave the friends you work with. but some things just leaves you with no choice. trust broken takes more than a sorry to be gained. and to quote jon's favourite phrase, "You think Thank You can be eaten?! Paper cannot feed you you know?!!" it's hilarious.
i can't believe im still expected to so the bloody decor despite being cheated of my PAY!
thinking of it really pisses me off.
the whole place is getting pretty messed up. both socially and environmentally. it's getting disgusting. moving on..
anyway, im pretty happy and thank god for 2 new opportunities! Pluck at Haji Lane, and maybe, maybe island creamery! hopefully! i start at Pluck this Saturday so drop by for a visit!! :) of course there will be ice cream!
i miss taking photos with my lomo! and ive yet to use my holga. friday! hopefully.
