2006 is about 20 plus hours away.

And I'm actually tempted to do this resolution thingy again.

But I'm actually wondering if I should bother. Because every year (I think) I do it but by the end of the year, I can't remember what was the resolution I had stated for myself earlier on. I can't even remember what I wanted, how the hell would I know if I followed them.

But still, its like a trend thing and maybe I should just be a trend follower. Hah.

Here's the list.


I am someone who don't do that AT ALL and I know keeping track of expenses is a very good habit which I have to cultivate. Especially this month, I felt rather broke towards mid-month but I just can't figure out why. Yeah, I must start cultivating this habit. And at least I know where my money is going.


I must say I am rather satisfied with myself this year for being there for my friends when they need me or a listening ear and stuff and I really want to continue doing that. If I haven't been there enough for certain people, I will work on it.


I ain't very satisfied with the effort I put into school work last term. The excuse I give myself is that I am still warming up. Warm up time is over.


Ok, thats crap.



Probably time for some wishes too. Actually, every year on my birthday, I make a very simple wish which actually sums up everything I wanted to wish for.



Yeah, I just wanna be happy. In everything I do, in whatever decisions I have to make, in whatever is gonna happen. I just wanna be happy.

As a child, I never wished for toys. I always wished for a happy family. My definition of a happy family is pretty simple. Just the 4 of us living harmoniously together. But it never came true. That was when I was a child but as I grew up, I understood that things weren't that simple. So I gave up and I told myself that I should just accept things the way it is and make the best out of it. And I now feel that it is actually better off this way. Imagine if my wish came true then. But Dad doesn't change, I wouldn't be happy. At least I can safely say that things are better the way it is now. To the very least, Mum and Dad are still friends who can talk. Instead of quarelling at home everyday if they are still together. I will probably go bonkers.

Come to think of it, I can still wish for a happy family. Probably in years to come, I will wish for a happy family with a loving husband and nice kids. Ok, but thats not for now.

Actually my point is: You don't always get what you want. But not getting what you want does not mean that you can't be happy. You can always find a way to make yourself happy.

I always believe that everything happens for a reason. If you ask why all the shitty things are happening to you, I will tell you that trials make you stronger. Its like a moth in a cocoon. In Lost, Larke told Charlie, "Struggle is nature's way of strengthening it (the moth)".

One day, the rain will stop and you will see sunshine. (As I type this, I am thinking of a friend. My first friend in KSS whom I know is going through rough patches in her life and feeling very negative about everything. I just wanna tell her that we all do care for her. Yes, all of us do. And I really want her to be more positive about life and one day, things will get better. Ok, gal? We are all here. Anytime.)

Ok, I digressed alot. Just full of thoughts after some bailey's.

Anyway, Happy 2006. May happiness and good health be with all of you.

With Love...








Terry's 21st at East Coast Coasta Sands Unit B01 AGAIN. Exactly the same unit as Timmy's. Deja Vu. 







According to Answers.com, this word means fear of going to school.

Got this freaking word off my bro's blog. Damn it, speak english, will you?


On a lighter note, here's a riddle:









Got this off Mui's blog. Thought it was very funny. Haha.Censored for the reputation of the drunk man. 







Thats how I am feeling for the past 2 days. Bluuoody is the word. Blue, moody and maybe erm, bloody.

But days like these allows me to reflect and think alot about things.

My Windows Media Player is playing 选择 now. A song which never fail to remind me of certain someone and certain things. The year is coming to an end. I'm so glad it is. Because this year, unlike for the past 3 years, I (ok, we) did not allow certain things to happen and I'm glad things are like that. He did not bring me on a rollercoaster of emotions. I'm just so so glad we can still be so friendsie (i made up my own word) despite all that happened. I'm just glad. And I'm just so glad that because of him, I got to know the gang. I got to know them and he gave them chances to be there for me so many times to console me, watch/hear me cry and that somehow, bonded us so much. Haha. I'm just grateful.

Well, I do know that sometimes people will talk about us and wonder if I'm really so cool about things. And even after reading this, some people might want to yak again but hell, like I care? Don't act like you know me better than I know myself.

I read someone's blog and the post on someone whom I thought I knew who she's refering to. I can't help but feel sad too. Well, I don't know how much truth there is in what I interpreted it to be, but still, she's the last person I thought she would be like that. Sigh. Perhaps I know when WE can be very very close again. Hah. Probably when everyone's single. [don't get me wrong!! I'm not asking or cursing all of you to break up] But at least I know that we are all making effort, even the slightest.

I'm having a craving. Not food this time. But a hug. Haha. A real hug, so no point clicking on my hug counter. (Although I'm quite shocked that I have more than a hundred hugs already. Thanks to whoever to 'hugged' me c= ) I want a real warm big hug. Haha. Xiaxue blogged about how nice it'd be to have a super high-tech fridge which can extend you a warm hug. Sounds absurb but come to think of it, its rather nice. Haha. But I bet a fridge can never beat human touch. You know a hug is actually the most consoling thing you can ever give to a sad, miserable, or blue friend? Its much more consoling than words. Next time when you are sad, miserable or moody, and when someone tries to tell you some big logics, ask that person to SHUT UP and ask for a hug instead. Provided you don't mind his/her body odour. Haha. And if you are gonna be the one doing the consoling, give that person a warm hug before saying anything. And after finishing your piece, give him/her another hug. Sounds good? But it is not hard to tell if your hug is sincere or not (at least, for me). So, rmb, the last and most important thing, be sincere.








Yeah, watched King Kong. I would say Beauty tamed the beast and he was no longer a beast when he died. So sweet and funny. I enjoyed it more than I thought I will. Gav asked me this question about the show which I didn't really think of. "Why did King Kong climbed to the top of the whatever building towards the end of the show?" Hmm... Food for thought huh? Think about it too.

Insomnia (again) last night. Only fell asleep at about 5am (i think?) and had to drag myself outta bed at 10 plus for King Kong. Hesitated about watching it but managed to drag myself outta my nice comfy bed. THANKFULLY I DID!! It was worth it. Hah. But probably because I didn't have enough sleep, I was rather high before the show. Laughing so hard at stupid toys at Toys R Us, asking stupid questions I got from Jacky Wu show. SO high that I really can't recall how I misplaced Chan's card holder. Thank God some kind soul returned it to the information counter and the debit card was not misused, else I would really feel damn damn bad. I love that kind soul.

Condolences to the family members of the Tsunami victims. Has been a year.

Happy birthday to JJ and Mou.

JJ had a pretty nice 21st celebration. Thanks Gavin for picking me up from Bishan MRT. I know you will somehow be seeing this. /muak Haha. Though its not really very near from where I was to Bishan but still, Loyang is freaking far from wherever I was. All your birthday celebrations are getting further and further, you realise? And Tim, being very nice, sent me home after that though it was SUPER out of the way for him. So nice. I managed to lead him to "where the hell is Bukit Panjang" correctly. That's the main point. Haha.

Ok, back to my King Kong question. Well, according to Gav, it is because he wants the watch the last sunrise with Ann as he knew he was going to die. SO sweet right? Beautiful. *touch heart* Makes me wanna watch beautiful sunrise as well.

Yaya, I know. Me watch sunrise? Ok, laugh. By the time I wake up, I can probably have my first meal of the day and be prepared to watch sunset or moonrise or whatever it is.

One day, one day I will.








Post-windsurfing pics before Timmy's birthday. A little overdue but still, enjoy lah!








"Wear lifejacket. If you drown, I don't know how to save you." Call himself a lifeguard. Boo. 








"You don't need plastic surgery to have bigger eyes" Caption suggested by who else but THEM. 








Gav and JJ. Nice company =)








Duper mini playground 








SMU jump. 








Christmas Eve at Chevrons.








Obviously we ain't very interested in what is going on below. hurhur 








Stupid stuns 







Mini chalet with the gang was pretty fine. Our gift exchange showed me how well we really know one another. Buying things for one another which is really "so-that-person". Was really rather shocked by what I got. I mean, I didn't expect HJ to get me something which is rather ME. I was expecting some general stuff since we ain't that close.

Someone had to get drunk again. And of all people, it has to be the one who always claimed he can really drink.

"Pure Chivas. I think only you, me and Den can take it. Den got abit of stomach upset the other time. So not too sure. And you, after the Carlsberg incident. Hmmm."

He told me something like that the other time.

And who's the one who got drunk this time? WHO? And he says he is quitting drinking. HAHAHA! Lets see for how long man. Shiyin said the same thing the other time and 2 weeks later, she was clubbing already. K lah, she did control herself alot after that time and I hope the same lesson will be learnt.

It just reiterate one thing. Drinking when you are down gets you drunk easier. That, also, explains my Carlsberg incident but on the contrary, I survived pure (ok, diluted) Chivas.

Its almost 5am now.

Got back about an hour ago. Had an enjoyable time K-ing at Chevrons with Chan, Mou and the rest. The guys got us (the 3 girls) a shaft tied in a knot with a Christmas hat on it. Its quite hard to explain that thing. But its really nice. And sweet of them. Although mine reek of ciggy smoke from that place now. Its so hugable although they made it sound real sick. Sickening fellows.

Haven't K-ed for about one week and it feels like ages. Haha.

Headed to town for awhile after singing and I feel out of place. Haha. I mean, I feel too old for the crowd. Was on high alert for those snow-like sprays. Damn sickening. Those stupid boys are aiming at girls, and girls only. God knows why. You mean they like to see girls glaring at them? You mean they find that act very cool?

The entire Orchard Road looks like streets in China after an oil spill. Dirty and slippery. Pity the cleaners.

But in all, I had a fun time today. Laughing at the boy's stupid and lame stuff, and their "unique" way of singing certain songs which I really have to take my hats off to them, Xiaowei's always-very-comical reactions to stuff. The logcake cum Mou's bday cake was yummy but a one-way ticket to 2kg as described.

Guess I will be spending the rest of Christmas day resting. But Christmas this year is definitely more happening than yesteryear. Christmas in Perth was peaceful. Well, like I said, Christmas, to me, is just another day, another excuse to play and have fun.

With all that said, enjoy and Merry Christmas to all!








What a beautiful shot with beautiful sparkles. 








I'm your fairy godmother and I can grant you your wish. 








Megaa 








It says SEXY 








Oh no, so unglam. High already. hurhur 








Learnt the lesson the hard way. 







Feeling tired.

Aching all over.

Feeling unappreciated.

I'm taking a break.







Tmr at this time, I will be with my dearest gang, probably drinking Chivas and playing stupid games away. By then, I'd have received my FIRST christmas gift of the year. How exciting. Hee.

Was thinking of who would be the one buying the gift for us with Lun yesterday and we both came to the same person. Haha, lets see who will be right. So exciting.

Was so excited over it that I started blogging nonsensical things in our blog last night. Hoho. Hope everything will turn out well. (=

Finally, Chay bought his gift WITH MY HELP, after so much of me and Lun dissuading him to buy that Polo Tee last night. That thing which he bought looked so good on Andy Lau. My God!! Muahaha. I almost brought that wall home. Kinda think the recipient of Lun, ShiYin and Chay's pressie will like their pressie. I hope so. Hehe. I hope my recipient will like my pressie too! =D

Churned out a few Christmas cards today, penned down my deepest thoughts and wishes for some close friends. Was a last minute decision to write cards for the girls so pardon me for the lousy design cos the nice ones were kinda sold out.

Till then.







Dip a slice of ginger into some Martell and rub it into your skin.

This, they say, cure this skin thingy called "Hong Mo", which apparently the folks said I had.

I dunno if its the so called Hong Mo. All I would say is RASH.

DAMN ITCHY. fffff.

I woke up at 5am this morning and found myself scratching my legs profusely. Found some things to apply and went back to sleep. Woke up feeling rather ok so didn't really bother. Reached home from shopping with Yin and found myself scratching profusely again. Applied some rash cream again and went out for dinner.

How nice. Dinner includes things like Crayfish and Crab. And if you know me well enough, I cannot resist them. I ate a little. Damn it.

Showed my Mum the "rash" and suddenly everyone there for the dinner knew I had "Hong Mo". Everyone means my whole maternal family. (My mum has 5 siblings and the recent head count of their children stands at 9 and a half.) Damn, she is loud.

外公 prepared this recipe for me and made me da bao some home to apply after I shower. Well, I have a bottle of unopened Martell at home collecting dust but due to the fact that a person like me actually uses the kitchen stove more than my Mum, there is no ginger at home. Haha. So, we had to da bao.

Have to say that the recipe does work to a certain extent. =D But a while ago, I found myself scratching a new part of my left leg. ITS A NEW AREA. Well done Peg, eat more crayfish and crab.

Hmm, just in case, like Chay, some people are interested to know if the recipe does have other effects like stimulating hair growth. I will let you know if it does, ok Chay? Then we will go sell Martell and ginger outside YunNan and Beijing101. Idea?

I'm visiting the doctor tomorrow before meeting Lun and Chay for christmas shopping (again). Almost everyday I'm meeting someone from Da Gang to shop for our gift exchange. They will be swimming (ooh), Dota-ing(eee.) and HAVING BUFFET AT SAKURA (ARGH!) before that. If you dare, if you ever dare, to mention all those oyster with lemon juice (glares at Chay), sashimi and whatever you will be eating to me when you meet me tomorrow, I will, I will... You wouldn't want to know what I will do to you. Haha.

Oh, I know, I will stick to Lun and ignore Chay. Cos... Lun CAN'T EAT SEAFOOD! Muahaha.








外婆's birthday







I can't stop laughing. I need to share this.

After knowing that Ivan went Bangkok, our dear Yenfang sent this SMS to him.

"hi ivan this is yf, help me buy a lot of 3 holes shirts (she meant 3 ring shirts. what 3 holes. my god!!) , earrings ard 25 pairs, shirts budget 1000 baht. quanities! enjoy ya trip n i will msg uif i need more stuff!"

And remember she told me to just buy 2 pieces of whatever I buy when I almost went Bangkok with my Ah Ma too?

My god! How cute can my friend be?

And like hello, if Ivan had 1000 baht, he would spend it on food, food and more food. You don't need to know him that well to know that. Get 3 holes shirt for you. Dream on.

Lesson to be learnt: NEVER EVER tell Yenfang you are going Bangkok. Crazy girl but damn cartoon. She live up to her name.







Met up with Huijie. I should go buy 4D. I didn't have to wait for him. Cos, erm, I woke up late. hehe. Nice chilling and catching up session. It can be rather hard to get him to share stuff with me. All he will do is to dig stuff from me about myself. But I was glad he did share with me today. =D And as usual, we ate, we walked aimlessly, we ate again, we walked again. What's new right?

During our conversation, I told him I am no longer sad but is angry. He asked, "Who wouldn't be?"

"After your emotions don't get the better of you, logic will surface. And by logic, of course you will be angry."

Wahahaha. I told you I have all the right to be angry. Haha.

Bumped into Steph at Mango after HJ left and while waiting for Rong to arrive. I was there trying to see if those ladies did, to the very least, leave some Mango skin or seed for me. But the queue is equally long.

Shopped and had dinner with Yirong after that. Took neo-print, talked rubbish, laughed, cracked our brains for presents, shared stuff, had girl's talk etc. That woman don't even know how to get around Taka after so much description of where I was. Call herself a Singaporean. *shake head* But it was another nice session. =D

ShiYin msged me on MSN while I was typing this.

(We're having this exchange of presents for Christmas during our party on the eve of Christmas eve. And she's the one who did the drawing of lots and let us know who we needa get pressie for)

magical smile says: wanna noe who's giving u?
[pEg] says: yes!
magical smile says: haha
magical smile says: nanny nanny poo poo!
[pEg] says: idiot.
magical smile says: i sia lun too haaaaaaaa
[pEg] says: dun wan talk to u liao
magical smile says: wahaa...
magical smile says: surprise ma
magical smile says: lidat where gt fun if u noe
[pEg] says: thn still xia me

-__- How boliao can she be right? Lun, wanna kill her together? Get drunk again this time round I wouldn't bother to help you change. Just strip you naked and leave you there. Muahaha.

Looking forward to Friday and my SURPRISE gift.







I went to read my old blog. The old purplepeg which had been renamed cos I wanna use back purplepeg for this new blog. Just in case you people didn't know, you can change your URL without changing anything else in you blog. But if you do, please let me know cos I don't wanna miss out new stuff. =D

Read about what I wrote since A levels ended to around Sepember this year. Full of flashbacks and mixed emotions. Realised that I blogged alot of unhappy stuff. Being pissed with my boss aka Dad so frequently, feeling lousy over Netball, missing friends and how difficult it was to meet up. Gosh, you mean I was so sad? Hah.

I am happy to say that I have broken free from all that. I am no longer working in an environment I didn't enjoy, I am no longer feeling lousy cos I am no longer at it, and overall, I am satisfied with the frequency I'm meeting people I wanna meet.

I'm happy in school. I'm happy trying out new things. I'm happy with old friends, new friends. I am happy with waking up past noon and feeling fresh everyday. I have no qualms about life.

The only thing I preferred about then was the fact that I had more money to spend. To eat and to shop. Muahaha.

And so, on the whole, I am a happier person and this is definitely a happier purplepeg!








The vain me and the even vainer cousin Xue. 








This picture caught my attention. I find it SUPER cool. That's more like flying, not jumping. Such a nice shot. If only it was me. Hahaha. But erm, watch the left hand. 








Nice interception. Look at that elevation! 








How to shoot? 








Sri Lankan (correction) Shooter VS Singapore Keeper. Look at her the distance between her hands and the net. In case you people don't know how tall a netball pole is (which I don't know the exact measurement too), the GK is easily 1.7m. Now, do the maths yourself.








Relieving childhood memories after RELEIVING ourselves. The toilet hunting was tortorous. Seriously torturous. 








Passengers. 

My daily life, rants, things I want to share and messages for people whom I know are reading about my life.

An update for you, an outlet for me or anything random.


PurplepEg was a random nick i came up with a few years back due to my obsession with the colour purple. It has served me well and became a part of my identity. It is definitely here to stay.

And not forgetting its famous tagline, PEG THEM UP!
