Been feeling under the weather. I am obviously not coping well to the sudden switches from an all bright day to a heavy downpour and vice versa.

Life's still the same. I accepted the Montreal offer, still unaware of who else is going. Oh well, we shall see how lah. (:







Some might have known, I got HEC Montreal, my first choice, for exchange but is currently the only person (in our circle) who is going to be there. You know how it feels when you are so excited upon seeing the news but just get more and more sian as the days go. Then again, no news might be better than bad news so I am still hoping for the best for our Montreal dream team. :)

Then there are other things which made me not as excited as before too.

It just hit me, suddenly, that for the few months I am away, my mum is going to be alone at home for at least 5 days a week since Padro is enlisting soon. Not that the 3 of us form a super close knitted family but I was imagining how it will be like to come home to an empty house, clean unoccupied rooms, watch TV on the couch, all alone. Then again, I'm quite glad she has her own active and happening social circle, 5 mins drive to her parents and siblings' homes, she can get her auntie gang to play mahjong without disturbing anyone. She might enjoy it. Maybe?

Then I look at my boyfriend, and wonder if we can survive this 4-5 months of LDR. This acronym spells fear in me, and this fear is not exactly unfounded. Then again, its all within us. I'm glad trust is not an issue (on my side, at least). If I can be cool and relaxed about his colleagues bringing him to pubs in geylang with skimpily clad girls walking around waiting to be touched (and paid), I know that I totally trust him. But well, if one day this trust gets misused, ......................................................... (someone complete the sentence for me please). Now I understand how lynnette felt back then. But one thing I'm quite sure of is that I will not make the same decision as her.
To liven up this place abit, some happy photos:

Feeling a tad emo and down, for no specific reason. Don't you just hate moments like this when you seem to lose all the positive feelings and happy thoughts? And all's within you are just negative emotions like feeling neglected by people, losing confidence in things, losing foothold everywhere etc. I'm attributing it to a once-a-month syndrome.


Anyway, HK is driving me nuts, once again. When everything's okay and we were ready to buy our air tickets this weekend, the news of flu outbreak was plastered all over the media. Tell me how not to feel sian? How now brown cow? The down-ness and the news certainly don't go well together man.








Its hard to not drift away from AT class no matter how animated Prof JJ can get. I was surfing some recipes in class because Bobbs who was perpetually on food blogs kinda influenced me. Came across this carrot cake recipe which required very similar ingredients to my apple banana cupcake 2 weeks ago so I decided that I will make one today since its my 公公's birthday.

It didn't turn out as well at first. The surface was burnt but the insides were not fully cooked so I had to cut away the surface after this whole thing is cooked. Luckily the the cream cheese could cover up the ugly surface. :)

Hope the grands can appreciate my ang moh cai tao kway.







Typing a short post before I go jogging. (Becks you're a pig! But you messaged me immediately after I changed into my sports bra and all lah. If not, I might just... you know what)

The weekend that passed was awesome, except that it was expensive. Let's see...

Went to Ah Ma's place on Friday afternoon and nua the afternoon away with her. Someone asked me "how come you always go to your grandma's house and sleep one?". Well, I guess that's considered spending time as well. And the feeling of sleeping beside her, warm and cosy, is how hard to get.

Finally went for our hanabi threesome date with Dicky and Angs. Like seriously finally. Waiting for my treat to The Line from we-know-who. winkz

Spent my Saturday with the boyfriend. It was our *start counting fingers* 26 months. Not that we still celebrate but since it fell on a Saturday and he was off shift, we went for a good time and good dinner at one of my favourite places. Not telling you where in case you guys know how to score points with me. haha, jokes lah. Watched a movie at Century Square. I know most of you Westies will have no idea where that square is (cos I didn't). Its beside Tampines Mall lah! And the movie crowd in the east was abit, erm, weird. I don't know, not trying to start a east-west debate but my whole movie experience from buying the tix to buying popcorn, to entering the theater, to the actual screening didn't feel normal.

Managed to do some studying in school on Sunday and met the S82 boys for buffet (yes, I know again! thats why I am going running in 5mins time) at Merchant Court for ZG's bday. Burnt a hole in my pocket again but it was a great evening with the 4 boys, laughing as usual, even though they are seriously super unglam. Helped Hj and Nah with some finance questions equivalent to finance 101 and realised how much I have forgotten. shikes!

By the way, I have been avoiding going to the petrol kiosk nowadays but the other day I bo bian had to go and OMG, a full tank now costs me 60bucks. I know its still little comparing to you people driving bigger cars. But then, I used to be able to get a full tank for less than 50 leh.

Okay, time to stop this auntie market talk and off I go to shed off my Hanabi and Merchant court buffets.

Bye (fats)!







Sitting in the library, waiting for time to pass before I head for my haircut appointment at Far East Plaza. Somehow, after much anticipation for school, it's not feeling like how I thought it would.

I swear I am screwing up my sleep cycle so bad and I am feeling the consequences now. Slept at 5am on Thursday morning, woke up at 2pm, then couldn't sleep at night. Woke up to go online to do random stuff and Wahjong. Slept at 3plus, woke up at 630 for class and sneezed the entire AMA class. Well done, Pegs! Its the end of week 2 and I am already not keeping up with my readings. Another pat on the shoulder for myself.

All that being said, however, I am looking forward to an exciting weekend! :)







I tell you this girl is damn cartoon

And the bbq guy near my condo is so cute. To win 10 yuan, I asked for his number!!! extra funds! FYI, that can buy me 10 bbq buns, and they are very tasty. I will go buy bbq bun again tonight. Super cheapo queen right.

Also, our mahjong-xiaolongbao fund is super useful cos one xlb only cost me 10cents sing. With S$20, imagine how many "longs" i can eat. I am so afraid that I will turn into a dumpling when i return.

Okay the reason I am blogging

Tell ivan, nah, hj, zg, chanchos, penny, wen (all my close buddies) that I miss them very much.

Have not blogged anything other than my Bangkok trip after I came back so here goes...

School's started, finally. Still getting the cold engine ready but all's good for the first week except that I really cannot stand my first 830 class. I really really could not think at all. This sem's gonna be reading-heavy with chunks of accounting theory readings which are close to impossible, strategy cases to go through every week, advanced audit readings, negotiation cases and advanced management accounting articles. zzz

I am hanging on fine, FOR NOW, with 3 advanced accounting mods + strat which is advanced accounting equivalent and a half credit negotiation which really feels like MPW all over again. I swear I hate to force class part.

Went for Temasek Hall dance production last night. Supposedly decided to go cos Huijie's dancing. Not that we don't support Nah, but he has way too may concerts for us to support and this is probably peanuts to him. But in the end, Huijie couldn't dance so we all went to watch Nah, still.

Had a great time with them (Steph, Ivan, Huijie, Nah and Zheguang), laughed the whole night away with Zheguang's uber lame jokes. We had 6 people and only 1 of my jazzy baby so the ride from NUS to Kallang then to town wasn't easy. The car felt so heavy lah. And the back seat was so squeezy, well if you know their sizes. Joked that I should let ZG or Ivan drive so that they can free up more space at the back, that if Ivan and ZG sits on the same side of the car, I can do a drift, that someone should go to the boot etc.

This whole Mas Selamat escape is making everyone edgy. Me and chan went for a jog and when we came back...

Mum: So did you all see the "limping horse" (direct translation from bai ka bei)

Chan: No lah... If I see him, I will go kick his ass first. (talk to gf's mum, the balls has to be substituted with pigu)

Engage in Mas Selamat conversation for awhile, while I check my laptop for my transferring of songs.

Saw Xia's MSN nick "OMG, I called 999"

Curious me went to check her blog and really got the info I wanted.

Told my mum and she was excited to see your face on the papers XIA! Then we engaged in more Mas Selamat conversation.

And to add on, I shall share with you guys how suay Chan's mouth can be.

On monday, he sent me to school for my 330 class before heading to TAB by 4 for his shift. We were talking about the people involved in the search in the car and he said "luckily they haven't involved the air force" so their lives were pretty much normal.

And then... on that very day, no prizes for guessing it right, they were involved and poor him didn't get much sleep for that shift. HAHAHA.

Alright this is no laughing matter, I really hope that guy gets caught soon. It has been almost a week. I secretly hope he gets caught in NTU leh.

Oh anyway! I went to sign up for Viwawa after much procrastination (bcos I didn't want to get hooked). But then, to my disappointment, it doesn't hook me. Probably cos I don't get to physically feel the tiles or probably cos I don't enjoy playing mahjong with strangers for the sake of playing. Maybe the next time you guys wanna play, ask me and we can play together. See if I enjoy it better. My nick is well, to your surprise, purplepeg. :)

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!
