I think I am awesome even though my tablet has made me more awesome. Anyway I FINALLY got to do some drawingggg with my beloved. Alright!!!!

So here's to the 2 people who made my life in SC so much easier. I guess what sets them apart is that they're really sincere friends. Been there, done that.



Anyway to go to Shadowbrook you gotta take a cable car down... and btw this restaurant is also by the lake, it is THE prettiest place I have ever been to to dine!



Commminnn up!



and because this restaurant is below (since we had to go down) and by the lake, there happens to be a garden, which, when you walk into the place you're able to see the garden above you!!! Total coolness ok.



AND a swanky fireplace! I like.



My drink was wayyyy fantastic and all the girls ordered cocktails as well, I guess I never had a true ladies night with club-hopping, men picking us up, house parties, dancing and (drink) driving around, making friends, getting into bars free...... playing beer pong... you know.





and above is the till-now, rather famous dress. The GUESS dress. I guess I've entertained many questions on where I "got" the dress, and how my curls and curves (mm hmmm who started it!?!) are awesome, so thank you everyone! I am flattered!



Wah this is hella fantastic molten chocolate cake. Goodness oozing out k?



All ma girls lookin gorgeous!!




There was a singer(acoustic) and Krissy told me to ask him to take a picture with me.. well I wanted to dedicate wonderful tonight (as usual) but ola, he played it by the end of the night.



Yeah anyway before we left some (rather cute) guy came up to me in front of everyone and said to me "I know this is really awkward but...how are you?"

I hate how-are-you questions but I said I'm good anyway. Everyone were like giving me that "Ooo Stephanie he's hitting on you" look, it was hilarious cos it looks like it was from the movies.

So he invited us to a club nearby, kinda got stunned cos I don't really get picked up by sober men much here. Anyway I pointed at Krissy and said "i dunno, she's the driver. I think you gotta ask her."

He convinced her, and so we left for the place after he did.... which has a cover charge. So we turned and left.





Anyway we did leave for a pub after said-club, cover charge AGAIN, but when we turned to leave the bouncers called us back and let us in for free.

Men.... we really got it good for us.=)


So at 12 plus after Ehson's bball game we left for his place.... and I met... Thomas.


.....Welcome to America.



Krissy: "Hey you do resemble her huh."

LOL. Thanks T for playing beer pong with me anyway.


Ehson- He's persian, and persian makes me think of persian cats, 300.... what else, but he's a really cool friend.


Anyway he was cool cos he helped us take a picture, then went on to ask us to to give best friend's pose, funny face, and a fierce pose.


Awesome night.

The world is different today.

I am happy. No, I have been happy for weeks now.

So today I say: What is there to make myself happier?

and I decided to let go of all my hatred for everyone I ever scorned.

I start by adding every person I ever loved but had a feud with in Facebook. Or at least those that I can find in myself to forgive.

I'm happy for myself! Turning Redhead tomorrow!!!

My godddddddddddddddd, we had Girl's Night Out last night, was fab as you guys can see from the gazillion comments on the fab Guess by Marciano dress Krissy lent me on FB.... and naturally we had drinks, came home late, slept late...

... and she wakes me up at 12 to head out to the beach. Damn am I glad people here are good at making me do things I refuse to initially but end up loving (cue Skiing trip =D)

Krissy's the best tour guide and I swear, this is the REAL SANTAAAA CRUZZ. I have not been here before in the past few months.



Woah, not cold? I was really cold alright,



Boardwalk behind me yayy! So pretty and the views were fabbb.



Here's us:



Omg omg omg omg, I've seen so many necklace pendants like that but I just knew they came from shells. NO. NOT JUST SHELLS.

ABALONE SHELLS!!!!

AND THEY'RE REAL! They were selling all these at the fish market!! Wahhhh!



Then we dined at Miramar, it was a pretty neat place. Old school fisherman dining place. The view was of course, awesome, away from the cold winds.




SUN! Blue sky! Picture!



Kris with her wine, pasta with scallops, lobster and prawns with mangoes and avocado and sherry wine sauce, or something.




Me and my Pacific fish. LOL.








Here's the friggin highlight of the day: Pelicans! Pelicans not stuck in Singapore zoo but flying around! They were so huge and I was amazed!!!
Awwwww!



Hahahha and they look like idiots sitting in one straight row its so funny, they looked like statues, I had to ask her if they were real.

Lesson of the day, Pelican's beaks dont seem as big (with depth) as those depicted in cartoons. =(


Of course main tourist attraction for god knows what reason, Sannna Cruz Lighthouse. I hope you can spot it, its teeny:



AND Close-up!

Alright I'm excited to blog about my Girl's Night Out, I LOVED IT, and its actually all up on FB and I know its like, maybe no point blogging or smth but aiyah, I actually didn't like the dress but everyone said it looks cute on me, loved my dress, where did I get it... well its GUESS by Marciano inspired by Paris Hilton, USD 120.

And yes it was a head-turning number and I got hit on, which, umm, I'll talk about again.

and I'm not blogging about that awesome-st night cos I'm gonna write my genetic paper on Ichthyosis, and I really hate people who whine about having to write papers (get down to it already)....... so SEEYA.

Anw I've become a very happy person here, I hope I dont regress when I return, and No I am not on drugs Hots.

Last night, I threw up all my dinner... it was horrible. I was watching Vagina Monologues (a play), it was actually really awesome but I felt so sick, had a friggin shitty headache and I couldn't even laugh properly without feeling pain. When I got back everything just came out. Gross. I must have eaten bad food. =(

Anyway the day after Tyler's birthday I woke up feeling like... ummm, crap. I cross-faded on my first, and its up to your own discretion to go find out what the word means.

But well I just woke up, took some pills, went back to sleep, and headed out to meet the Sgreans for their cook-out.... which, I think I missed most part of. Anyway yes for some part I think I do look ill in the pictures.

But the weather was ggggrrrrrrrrrrrreat!!! and Santa Cruz has the most fantastic walking trails:


See I look so grossly emaciated. Yucks.



I know you wanna ditch your homework and COME JOIN ME!!! =))




Made the rest do this silly silhouette. Cool right?!



Passed by a quarry.



I still think I am a great photographer, I always get the best shots!! =) Hereafter we got to the protest place. Yes, 4th March was a holiday because all the students in the school are like, supposed to go on a strike, for lower education fees. So no vehicles were allowed in and out of the school, and the students stood by like, the main gate to protest. There were news vans and all.

So here is our school mascot, the banana slug, this is more of like a slug dragon (like dragon dance), but sadly it ws squashed. Oh well. Pretty interesting to look at people protest.





University sign got covered. Awww.










Always asked myself if I took pictures of myself in a protest am I gonna smile or act angry and frown like I'm part of the group, but there you go. I ended up smiling. HAHA.


I'm actually really glad that.............. my dearest Kyle has sent me a package, together with Jan!!!! A dresssssss and a loveeely card. Can't wait!

I suppose I never really felt properly integrated anywhere but I feel like I love my House now.

Everyone actually remembers I'm leaving this quarter and I kinda feel sad too having to leave the friends I just got to know.

Anyway cos Tyler just turned 21, we left at 12 midnight on his birthday to The Red Room, its some Victorian-styled bar that is one of the more popular spots here for above 21s.





Tyler!!! Ho ho ho. Lao niang got to dance with him and even though I was shocked I still danced since, ummm, I've got like one HUGE shot (Singapore really stinges on alcohol) from Rafael.



My roomie....=))



Silvia... she is the bes,t best, best, nicest person I've ever met. She saved me on the first day cos I was in culture shock living with all the Americans alone and Krissy wasn't around. When I'm hungry she offers me food, lent me her comforter, wanted to lend me her lights, and was there when I was so upset over what was happening back home, and like she always tells me:

"I just want you to be happy and enjoy yourself here."

Dude, I don't think anyone has ever told me that besides my lovers. I am so, so, so, so, grateful.


We hopped to Motiv, where I met some dude that tried too hard to impress by saying he knows about Singapore....tsk. "Singapore is not in China but its like, under China, you know? (DUH) Like Hong Kong."

...completely wasted my breath trying to explain to him cos he just continued trying to sound smart.

Finally we ended up at Ehson's place yay! Love that dude. Krissy has got a bunch of really cool and nice friends.



Anyway they have like 2 or 3 College nights, and their props are so awesome!!! Oscar Night was the theme, and even though we left before the events started. we got our fair share of good food, and look what I got back:



SO PRETTY! =))

anyway because its always a happy thing to receive things in the mail...
MY FIRST EBAY LOOT! Free shipping within US so hurray! I had to try it:



99c earrings. VERY good quality I must say, even came in a pretty box




OK, off to watch the Vagina Monologues with Kris. Bye!!!
