muahahahahhaaaa!!!! i put my super long newface post on the side thingie. so now i can blog in peace and it will remain seen by all. =)))

did some video filming just now, and i really feel like one huge blabbering, rambling bimbo. BAH. i really don't understand myself. i can talk hours and hours of profound crap yet i stumble in front of the camera. how humiliating. i really need to practice talking to myself more.

more rehearsals coming up tomorrow. somehow, i really like rehearsals, (but i don't really like tomorrow's rehearsal cos it clashes with villa wellness and i really enjoying my thursday nights at home with my darling) everyone gets together, go through the same steps, complain about blisters, grin at each other when we walk past each other, make funny faces when we think no one else is looking-we have fun; or so it seems. i have fun anyway.

today, i brought my 4 favourite girls(the fifth one still stuck at other end of island) down to be interviewed. and i heard them shout something along the lines of... "we love you!!!" whilst i was in the other room, and it was one of those little moments in life when my heart just flutters around and i can't stop grinning. i love them too. =)

so i treated my dearies to dinner at chompchomp. i love food...... =)



damn i love food. =(


it's a count down of....... a few more days till yinsiu go back down under, and a few more days plus 2 till the finals.

mean girl. bitch.
felt so guilty.

i'm so sorry.
sorry for being mean.

Friday, September 23, 2005

sometimes, i think it's rather unfair and selfish if one were to impose on others certain restrictions just so to fit one's own wants.

i realise that people start taking advantage of their friends once their friend is able to drive. this is extremely disgusting as please realise, i know that you may want to save $1 on a bus ride, but in order to go out of the way just to pick you up (please realise in the first place that driving you is an OPTION that your friend has kindly agreed to although your friend can just leave you in the lurch and not bother at all) , your friend has to blow like maybe, $2 on petrol. And petrol is not cheap these days. But do you care??? NO. You don't care. Why? because so what if your nice, accomodating, kind friend has to spend $2 just for you, the selfish one- As long as you save your $1, you are happy. You're disgusting.

i think we all should do some self-reflection. Are you guilty of the above-mentioned? If you are, and you change, at least there is hope for you. If you are, but you don't give a damn, just remember that what goes around, comes around.

Sometimes, when you donate money to beggars on the street, only to realise later that the beggar had both hands, both legs, is young, strong and healthy, and is just too lazy to work but wants easy money, do you feel cheated??? i feel that way now. And i'm not the only one. Giving sympathy to someone who does not need it in the first place makes me feel very very cheated. Taking advantage of a kind-hearted, caring soul is plain disgusting.

somehow i just hate it when people tell me "i told you so"
wheeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! today's rehearsal was soooooo much more fun. i don't know why. haha. maybe cos everyone seemed friendlier today, maybe cos the food was better, maybe cos we're starting to loosen up, maybe, for me, it's cos annabelle was there!!!! ANNABELLE!!!!! i was kinda sad that belle wasn't there yesterday.. true, there was sophie, shikeen, tabatha, emiko, con, and others... BUT. i just missed belle. haha. NO!!! i'm not a lesbian!!!! lolol.

anw, today we learnt our sequences... (i just forgot the second one.. uh-oh!!) did the "walk-walk-walk-pose" thingie- and gwen and me had so much fun doing funny poses and laughing our heads off.. i'm starting to like rehearsals, and as denise said, " make it the best time you've had ", or something close. (sorry, i have super short-term memory). poor rachel and pieling got awful blisters... ew! i hate blisters!! and con was super cute n blur.. ahha. missed tabatha tho; she brings really yummy marks and spencers sweets!!! nah. joking. she means more than just a packet of sweets. =) well...... there's sooo much more to say!!! but, i can't remember much else.. oh!!OH!!!! i scared the hell outta emiko cos i predicted everything she did in the afternoon, and she looked kind of freaked out. haha. it was just cos i spotted her at novena square laa.... heh.

anyway, emiko says that Mr Haniss says to wish me all the best. Thank you Mr Haniss =)

it's nice getting to know the girls. so very nice. hee.

gwen, sophie, belle and me are going to get our hair done at toni and guy on thursday. But before that, belle and i are going shopping!!!!!!!!!

walked out of SPH with belle earlier on, and just talked bout this and that, and i'm really glad i know her. =) she has a reeeaaallllyyyyy cute 3 mth old puppy!!! haha. then we entertained ourselves at macdonald's while waiting for our respective boyfriends. =)

i love cliff.

on the way home with cliff..... guess what??? i saw bestfren and sonny!!!! hahahhaa. PLUS andy messaged me in the afternoon.. having contact with so many of my favourite people everyday is veryvery enjoyable indeed.

sigh. grueling 3 hours. get shouted at (once), repeated the same thing 4 times (cos of different mistakes at different times), get told to lose weight in front of 17 other girls, told that my shoes (which i just bought today) are not suitable cos they don't have the back strap.

it was day 1. 19 more days to go. so much to do, so lil' time. sigh. will do it. not gonna screw my second chance.

HOW COME THEY DIN HAVE ANTM TONIGHT???? i rushed home for nth. grrr.

chao cabbie kb me, said that i flagged down the cab too late. bloody hell. then don't pick me up!! simple as A B C. noone ask you, an empty cab, to be travelling on the second lane!!! most empty cabs travel on the first lane!! PLUS i wasn't flagging you. i was flagging the cab BEHIND you. YOU wanted to swerve to the first lane, get horned at, block the entire road. AND THEN YOU SCOLD ME IN THE CAB! don't fugging pick me up la. rude bitch.

just came back from J8, watched Cinderella Man. truly inspirational, touching, motivating and heart warming story.

True, it has a very typical storyline. Man gets success, Man falls, Man gets second chance, Man makes it good again.

But so what? it's the kind of story that almost everyone loves. the kind of story that every one wants to identify with. when you watch the guy, Jimmy, get up time and time again after getting knocked down, you can't help but feel for him. suddenly, i feel some of how the wife feels. the pain and anguish that sears through him when he gets punched, i feel it too. but each time he got a punch back at his opponent, despite how weak or strong that punch was, you feel the adrenalin rush through you once again, pumping you up, giving you hope to hold on that jimmy WILL WIN!!!!! true, some parts of me expected him to win. But being actually brought through the journey with jimmy, you feel his determination. You think of the times when you yourself got given the second chance-did you treasure it?? did you give it the attention it was worth? jimmy did. and he won.

i will wake up early and go jogging tomorrow. =) i hope.

anyway, Cinderella Man is a really good show that you should catch not only for the fighting. But for the courage of a man to set aside his ego for the moment, and ask for help, to the extent of begging from people who knew him as a former boxing champion, people who saw him in his better days, just to pay his electrical bills and to keep his family together. his determination and love is truly amazing.











HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAREST BESTIE ANDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

life's is always brighter after talking to you =)

rosti was an almost success- just that the pan got REALLY burnt. haha.

simple rosti recipe:

  • boil a pot of water. (enough water to cover all the potatoes.)
  • whilst waiting for water to boil, peel and wash potatoes.
  • when water is boiling, put the peeled potatoes in for approximately 5 min.
  • after the 5 min, fish potatoes out, and wait for them to cool.
  • start shredding potatoes. (potato shredder can be found in most super markets, i think.)
  • heat pan.
  • add butter/ oil
  • throw in a handful of shredded potato, use spatula to tease it into a nice round shape.
  • sprinkle some salt on the potato.
  • wait for the bottom of potato to turn golden brown, then flip potato to cook other side.
  • once both sides are sufficiently browned, potato changes name to rosti.
  • rosti is ready to be served and eaten. =)
** serve with chipolata sausages(can be found in most supermarkets) and sour cream.

tada!!! rosti!!!!

it's only my second attempt at rosti.... so... you can improvise your own whatevers. =)))

i look so fugging fat. my face looks like a mooncake. so chubby i feel like chewing myself up. photos are freaking deceiving!!! i SWEAR i'm not THAT bad in real life..... =(

this is so sad. but yet i've been trying and you say it's not enough. i know it's not enough but for a person like me it's more than i've ever done!! i'm reallyreally trying.


it's time to do a lindsay lohan. =(


i donno which is more depressing..... getting kicked out cause i'm too fat, or getting fat photos splashed on national papers. =(


**check out my pictures and interview HERE








no..... it's not the brown and dowdy uniform that's making me sad... it's just having fat pictures splashed on the papers....... =/



watched quite a few movies the past few days. watching movies make me happy. haha. specially since i watch them with my baby n my bestfren =)

red eye
the perfect catch
one more chance
the longest yard
herbie:fully loaded.

all are supersuper nice movies!! except for the ending of one more chance, which spoiled an otherwise touching movie.

like xinyu said, they're too focused on singaporean concerns and that's probably why they find it so hard to make it big globally. can't they just make a movie for pure entertainment sake??
sorry cliffy dear.. no rosti... but SOON! i promise!!! heh. wo ai ni!!!!!!!



Anw, just to let ppl who care know, i am a finalist of the new paper new face 2005, and will most probably be appearing in tomorrow's new paper. yes, me, and quite ugly pix of me, along with an interview which i was not prepared for, and thus, screwed. bad pix and bimbo-sounding interview. yup. please support me, Cassandra Leong. 165, 50something kg. (i lost weight hor... not 60kg anymore!!!) =>


PS. if you have to laugh and tell me how shitty i look or/and sound, feel free to call me. =)

just that i neglected her sometimes.. yea. that's all. but i miss her.

i started laughing. cos i rmb remember not helping my hamsters give birth, but helping them to make love. HAHAHAH!!!!!!! i desperately wanted baby hamsters so i helped mr male hamster find his way home; i put him on top of a female hamster. and low and behold!!!1 BABIES!!!!!!!!!!!!


disgusting me. i did it more than just a few times. =)

sorry, to the few who read, please put up with this template till i make a new one.... =)

mandy, i'll get you the chatboardthingie i promised soooooooooo long ago.. =x
hmmm. once again, being the short-memory bimbo that i am, i practically forgot every single thing that i wanted to blog. i think i should stop thinking about what to blog, and just blog. let me give it a go.

we went to beloved momo just now... and things seemed.... perfect. all the clubbing kakis... the drinks.. the seats.... then we went to phuture. it was at phuture that my night took a drastic turn.

think of it this way: how easy is it to forget the person who slashed you with a parang??? even when the wound heals, a welt is formed!!! there is a SCAR!!!!!

now everyone look at their legs; see if there are any scars. do u rmb falling down now?? true, some scars heal. mine healed(as in the scar i got from falling down).. but the last time i fell down was AGES ago!!! maybe... 10 years ago??? and there are many other scars (like the three slashes i got from the escalator), that are still there. sometimes i look at my scars, and i feel happy. *thought bubble* "i fall down on escalator before leh.... you got anot??!!! hurhur~". but at the same time i rmb the pain, the blood, the tears. yeah. do you get what i'm saying? do you feel the same way???

anw, on clubbing. i am disgusted(cos i used to dislike the coordinated moves.. but i'm starting to find it cute!!) to announce that i am actually starting to like mambo more n more.... haha. especially when they played "it's my life". it makes me happy =) and guess what??? they played spice up your life at momo!!!!!!! *jumpityjumpityjump* anyone who has clubbed with me knows that i go mad when they play this song!!!! hahahahahahhaaa!!!!!!!

actually, i don have that much left to say... will post pix when i get them from singuan.... it's been a wild night.... each time i turn to see ryan(bestfren's fren) holding his cigerette, i get internal conflict between the devil and the angel. lolx. smokesmokesmoke!!!! NONONO!!!!!! angel won tonight. hehe. =) ryan and his fren were very nice, keeping us safe... and.... to a certain extent, protected. haha. nice ppl. i like clubbing with this kinda ppl, tho of cos, us girls can take care of ourselves just as well!!! it's just a nice change to have other ppl do the job. heh.


did u ever realise??? that if you dig your nose after clubbing, there is alot of stuff in ur nose??? as in.. the pi sai la.... ya. and if u dig ur nose with a tissue paper after u smoke, u find lots of brown precipitate on e tissue??!!!!

***pls do not dig ur nose in front of an audience. it is immensely revolting regardless of how good-looking you are.







once again girls, i am so glad that despite all that shit i put u girls thru, u're still here with me. thank you for a wonderful friendship. =)))



















THIS IS ON MY DARLING CLIFF.
i am seeing my darling later and we're gonna watch villa wellness together. but first, i gotta decide what to cook for dinner..... *brainstorm*

anw, that day he drove us to fortcaning, and we walked round.... explored, and i kissed him under a misletoe... i donno what it signifies, but from what i vaguely rmb, it's something good!!=) looked at some old graves and stood there wondering about these ppl who were some somebody, but are reduced to once-grand tombstones, now eroded by elements of nature. thinking bout their greatgreatgreatgreatgreatgreatgreatgreat grandkids, and how they'd feel about having someone important in the ancestral line. i think it's pretty awesome =) there was this particular person, a german, who died in singapore.. somehow, i think it sucks(sorry, i cant think of any better word) to die in foreign land... maybe, hopefully, he had loved singapore as much as some of us do, and was happy to die here...? i said a silent prayer for them. for the great ones who came years before me, and helped build the nation that i have come to love(i do love singapore hor!!!! ).

anw, he pointed out (shit! i just forget what it's called!!!) the place where ppl register marriages... YES!!!! ROM!!!! hahahahhahaa. and i asked when he was bringing me there.

him: 9 years later la.... now to early to get married.
me: i know..... engage first la.. since we're here already.... we can be engaged for 9 yrs!!!

haha. i was joking la.... i'm only 19..... but who knows right??? i might, i repeat, might, one day walk down the aisle with him!!! hahahhaa. we never know what lies ahead of us in life, what the Big Guy up there has in stall for us... we can only wait. someday, we'll find out. till then, i'll treasure my moments with my darling. my favourite boyfriend. hahahhaa. ok la..... my only boyfriend. =)
