Changi Airport

2008-10-04T23:48:00.002+08:00

went airport with the initial purpose of sending guiyi (who's going to imperial) off only.. in the end there was huang huan and kailong who were going off too. seeing huang huan there was the real surprise. so.. after all the hype about overseas university applications, in my class, 20% of them went overseas.. 2 to imperial, 1 to cambridge, 1 to stamford, 1 to brown, based on what we've gathered so far lar.. matt (and hakeem), yuk, xinhui and this other german guy were among those at the airport too.. jio-ed the rest to come but they weren't free lar.. :( poor timo.. stuck in camp. gave us false hope! tsk. at least grace and natc warned in advanced. cake ahhh...

thought i'd cry when guiyi goes off, but i figure she also didn't want all these sorrowful partings, so she gave a quick hug to all of us before she hurriedly left.. :( huang huan too! i'm so gona miss them.. won't be seeing them until like next july. sooo loong!

i missed qian's and jiayi's farewell at the airport.. :(( at least met up wif qian the day before she left.. but not jiayi.. ;(( jiayi's like one of my oldest friend lar! haha. we've known each other since we were in pre-primary (ballet).. and she was my partner on a few occasions during exams too. went to the same primary school (her mum would send me to school aft we had our practices on weekdays), and ended up as jc classmates. i mean.. how coincidental is that! :)

anyway, back to ytd.. met up with ben moh and yh who were sending kailong off.. last night was like some imperial day lar.. all the singaporeans going there flew off in the same flight. haha.. heard it's cuz the hostels opened this morning, so by the time they fly over, it'd be just nice..

err.. ABRUPT ENDING. haha. i wana beach-volley! and play netball! :D

driving test!

2008-07-29T01:37:00.002+08:00

i know it's quite lagg.. but guess what? i've passed my driving test! it's bout a wk already since i became a 'qualified driver' (since 23 July). Still, i wana blog about the all the little things that came nicely into place to play a part in this success.

1) The receptionist explained that if i managed to pass (i think) subject 25 before 1 july, i wld be able to book a test date. Or else, i would have to wait until the end of the whole course to book one, but will be given an earlier test date. Fortunately or unfortunately, i was missing by one subject in order to book my test date before 1 july.

2) After completing all my subjects and passing the pre-tests, i was very surprised (and apprehensive) to find that i could book a test date the NEXT WEEK (how fast is that?!). All along, i was under the impression that i'd have to wait until Aug/Sept.. The bad news was, i was unable to get any driving lesson on that week. :(

3) First little miracle. After many futile attemtps of checking the driving webbie for any available slots on 'the next wk', someone finally let out a 5.55pm slot for tue. Although it's considered a peak period and the lesson's more ex, i bought it. With at least one secured slot, i went on to book the Wed test date. :)

4) Second little miracle. i managed to get a after-lunch test timing. : )

5) Third little miracle. Was just casually looking through the practical lessons when someone let out a 3.20 slot. and it was for TUE! this slot is so much better, cuz it's nearer my test timing, and it's cheaper. Praise God! :D i let out my 5.55pm one, cuz 4 hours of driving can be a killer.

6) Fourth little miracle. As i was walking to the driving centre on the test day itself, i saw a funeral procession that wld have affected a few of the test rotues. This meant that, had my test timing been earlier, i wld have been affected by the procession. not superstition or whatsoever. more like usually when practising, there's no such procession, and i would want my test to be as normal (so that it'll be smooth) as possible. no offence! but the procession on the left wld mean cars wld have to overtake on the right, and when turning left, that wld mean having to continue to keep right and stuff--> anomaly!

7) Fifth little miracle. My tester was younger than i expected. Good, cuz i felt the older testers looked more intimidating. My tester also tried calming me down before the test by asking me to take deep breaths and then breathing it out 3 times.

8) Sixth little miracle. i was assigned test route 2, one of those that i found more handle-able. test rotue 8 wld have been scary!

9) Seventh little miracle. The circuit went quite smoothly. Didn't knock down poles or mount curbs or stuff like that.

10) Eighth little miracle. that passing of my test was part of God's plan. Frankly a few days before the tests, i was damn nervous each time i thought about the impending testday. Prayer helps. i was actually prepared to fail, knowing that if i did, it wld be part of God's greater plan, one whose details i wld not understand then. So i'm just glad that i managed to pass my first attempt. saves money and time. Thank God for His grace. : D

11) Ninth little miracle. Forgot to mention earlier. With the possibility that i may fail, i went to check out the test dates for re-test. it was in SEPT! And.. had i booked my test date a week later, my test date (though for first attempt) wld have been in sept too! thank God for his methodical planning!

note: My tester, after the whole test, asked, "Are you very nervous? Cuz i could see u perspiring even though i'm feeling very cold in the car!" yea mann... i was THAT nervous! just sooo thankful that everything turned out well, with God's grace. :D

Fulfilling month

2008-07-17T23:46:00.002+08:00

This month has indeen been fulfilling, what with giving tuitions, going for driving lessons, camping and of course attending all the much-anticipated gatherings, like meeting up with slackers, aj class, rj class, rj streetdance, uni og.... whoa....

camp

2008-06-21T22:16:00.002+08:00

Got back from camp early yesterday morning. Well, camp officially broke on thur night, but my enthu OG went clubbing. ;) I LOVE MY OG! There’re quite a few crazy/ funny ppl in it.. and everyone was very sporting. A chat with some of my OG-mates revealed that a good thing about our Og was that everyone was likable and could mix around. :) Camp was enormous fun! Night court was unexpected. I got scared into absolute obedience, and later when things started getting ridiculous, I had to control myself from laughing out of fear. We (year 1s) got PUNKED! >.<>

Had ‘secret pals’ the next day (as well as days 3 and 4). It’s sponsored by SDU, and it’s like a blind date kind of thing, only the ‘blind’ is literal. So we were given pseudo names (mine was J.A) and paired up with ppl from another og. Blindfolded, we would talk to each other for half an hour or so each day. Interesting eh. Our identities were only revealed on the last day in front of everyone else. So paiseh! Cuz they would call our pseudo names one pair at a time, and everyone would be watching as you walk up and shake ur partner’s hand, then walked down together. I guessed my secret pal wrongly. He turned out better than i expected. Haha. Su Mae knew who my secret pal was already, cuz they were in the same jungle trek group. After our identities were revealed, she made known that she was secretly laughing to herself when she saw me marking him during ultimate Frisbee. Oops. I have no recollection, though it’d be cool to be in her shoes. Haha. We sat with our secret pals and three other pre-selected couples for the formal dinner on the last day. Oh.. my secret pal is Yee Kiat. He was a senior at RJ, but when i came, he just left.

Anyway, back to Day 2. Picnic was next. Prior to that, my OG went marche, cuz there were no other places big enough to accommodate our large group. Picnic was fun and relaxing, and it was also then that we realized Commando’s love for watermelons. Derek forewarned that after the watermelon-eating game, one would probably never touch a watermelon again, but Commando still went ahead. The funniest thing was, even after the competition had ended, and it was the tofu girls’ (jia hui and Claire) turn, Commando was still seen eating the same big slice of watermelon at the background, until my amused og-mates had to shout things like, ‘Commando! The game’s over!’ or ‘Commando! You DO know that’s the skin right?’ But Commando’s a REALLLLYYY nice guy. Very sincere. And he always ends up being funny without meaning to because of his sincerity. Awww.. so cute right! For example, in the past, Commando would not kill a mosquito, because he felt it wasn’t right to take its life when it was just trying to feed. But he kills them now, because he felt it was wrong to let the mosquitoes spread diseases and infect other ppl. SO CUTE RIGHT! >.<>

Jungle Trek was right after dinner. In groups of 6 (all from different OGs), we would be sent into the ‘jungle’. But we were blindfolded throughout the whole trail, led by an OGL/ccl who would, in a high-pitched voice, go, ‘Follow my voice’. It’s damn strenuous for the voice. So the OGL/ccl was the one leading us from one station to another. My group was one of the first few to be formed, but one of the last few to play. while waiting, we got so bored that Brosnan suggested we laugh really loudly just to show other groups we were having a great time. and that was what we did. haha. So qiao. There were 2 of us each from the same jc. Gatsby and I were from Rj. Faizal (Triumph Wonderbra!!) and Brosnan (aka Fabio, man of man) from vj. Coco (pineapple princess!) and Cheryl (sadoko sth.. it's the name of a pussycat doll) were from nj (i think). My nick was optimus prime. And... our group was called Transformers! *sings* Teh Teh Teh Teh Teh!

Oh. Brandon celebrated his 21st birthday with us at camp. Derek was damn err.. creative. He thought of planting things into Brandon’s bag, and then do a bag-raid on the false account that someone lost something. Smart eh! In the end, we didn’t have the time and materials. But we gave him a surprise celebration (thanks to the ccls for buying a secret recipe cake).

Had some inter oG games the next day (Captain’s ball, Ultimate Frisbee, Touch rubgy...), in which we lost some, won some. But it was tremendous fun, and led to more bonding! :D The OG bonded even further with Motel Rendezvous (ran up and down the building to find clues. It climaxed with excess-waterbomb-throwing. Damn fun. And i got soaking wet!) and with water telematch on the last day (underwater charades, diving to get mahjong tiles to ‘pong’, dog-and-bone and a memory game) . I got sunburnt even though I had applied su mae’s and alcina’s suntan lotion. Haha. By the end of the day, all the activities over the four days resulted in lots of muscle aches, not that i’m complaining. ^.^

Singapore is really small. Jean, my OGL in rj, ended as my OGL again in this camp. And the guy who took over Commando’s post in army was Jean’s co-OGL in RJ, which was also my jc OGL. How cool is that! Brandon was from the same pri sch as me, and his brother was in the same year as me (i think i know him...). Cheng Gong (benji’s jc classmate) was in the same OG as me too! Alcina’s sister (Athena) is my junior in street dance!

Playing games with my OG is always laughing-good fun. My Og’s damn good at charades, esp if it’s got to do with songs. Even the seniors were impressed! Polar bear was one of our fav games too, but i usually die in the first round cuz i talk too much. Haha. and even when i'm dead, i still talk. so jean would have to keep reminding that 'the dead don't talk!' Once, during my only time that i was a polar-bear, I got exposed in the first round, cuz ppl were saying i wasn’t killed, so that was suspicious. Haha. But Alvin aka polarbear-hunter managed to win that round as my fellow polar-bear. He’s damn good at acting man! Drinking Googles was a game we played to hydrate ourselves. Hangman was funny too, cuz Commando would always come up with realllyyy cheem words. Yu Hang was the unofficial games strategist, coming up with lotsa lame ideas on how to win games. Of course, they were never carried out. :P There was a funny incident involving Claire too.. Haha..

Oh! I experienced hostel-living too! Definitely unforgettable. :D Had my own room, but usually had to queue for toilets. Haha.

Oh well, i think that’s all for now. It’s a long enough entry.

good news!

2008-06-05T00:08:00.004+08:00

Yesterday’s going to have an effect on my future. To be exact, it was a call that would make all the difference. It was a call that I did not expect, but i’m sure glad i received. Having taken some (drowsy) medicine to curb my sickness (a horrid sore throat + bad cough + uncomfortable block nose + persistent fever), I went to bed, hoping i would be better when i next open my eyes. It was the call that woke me up. My caller ID showed that it was an unidentified number.
“Hello?” (It was one of the rare times where my voice was barely audible, given that i was only half-awake, and my throat was still hurting.)
“Hi, is this Crystal Goh?”
“Yes speaking....”
What followed next was something unimaginable.

I’ll leave out the rest of the details, but will only add that if i were healthy then, I would have jumped for joy and start shouting in jubilation.

Upon hearing the good news (after telling my family about it), i messaged a few good friends to spread the joy. Cake was cute. She called me up after i just read her reply. Even if you were numb enough not to have felt her joy in the sms, you wouldn’t have been able to mistake the happiness overflowing in her voice. Sickness sapped some of my energy, making me tired and weak, so I was telling her that she “sounded happier than me”. To that, she replied with her signature laugh (and you can just imagine her smile would hide her tiny eyes).

driving

2008-05-26T23:00:00.002+08:00

Had my 2nd driving instructor today. And.. i'm finally driving on the road! It's less crowded than in the circuit. Was telling my instructor he's the person person i'm driving on the road and wanted to add 'you should be honoured!' but decided not to cuz this honour thing was subjective. But well, he added that sentence for me. :) Still remember telling my first instructor that he was the first person i'm driving (on the circuit). Yes, I still stall my engine, cut into lanes, (force my instructor to help me) jam brake, speed across bends (read: forgot to brake and slow down) but overall, driving wasn't as scary as i expected. In fact, when i sort of get the gist of a skill, driving's actually quite fun. :)

Meeting ling for dance tmr. She's teaching me jazz! Free lessosn eh! :P but that's typical ling for you. She's passionate about dance, and always helping others (even granting my this special request). Gona meet cake on wed. we're doing 2 slots of ttt together and then lunch at the centre. can finally pass her ms rani's stuff too. It's been on my table for quite some time. :) Friday is reserved for an outing to a fish farm with some patients from imh. It's my first time interacting with them, but that's exactly why i'm volunteering for it. i may not have the chance to get to know them in future, so why not know since i have the time. :) Got to know about this outing through cake. This is another 'giver', always wanting to help others. She'll excel in her uni course i tell you.

kor

2008-05-08T14:34:00.003+08:00

I had to go for a make-test at NUS a few days ago, and the unlucky thing was, I only found out that my venue may not the correct one only the night before. It was brought up by my brother, who highlighted that all the halls in that area were being used for exams, including his. (the venue i had was for the initial test.) As he was having a paper the next day as well, we went down together, even though i would be early. The mph was very crowded, especially when the exam timings drew nearer. From the time we were driving there, to the time I was waiting at the mph with my brother and his friends, I was continuously dialling various numbers, trying to find out the test venue. I bet the operators got irritated with me. But well, apart from the admin number, i was referred mostly to the voicemail. :( I should have expected it, since the ppl would have been busy with the test preparations. Anyway, while we were outside the mph waiting, my bro took out his personal handbook from his bag, turned to the map and patiently explained how i should go to the faculty shd the test venue be there. (sweet right, he did that even though he was busy doing last min preparations for his own exam). You see, his exam time was earlier than mine. So if my test venue was somewhere else, he would not be able to send me there. He passed me his handbook too, in case i really got lost (chances are, i would.) As the minutes ticked by, the sky darkened, threatening to rain. I observed it too (but even though i had no umbrella, that was the least of my worries then.) it was then that my brother asked, ‘you got umbrella?’ Simple yet caring. ‘err.. no..don’t have...’ was my quiet reply. ‘it’s gona rain leh. Wait. I check my bag.’ And after rummaging, he cheerfully pulled out his green umbrella. :) ‘thanks kor’, i muttered, feeling very warm inside.

Another incident that i fondly remember was during Rj’s post-prom. It was held at a club in Clarke quay, and as it would end quite late, the other friends i went with were staying over at a hotel. I didn’t want to, as i didn’t want to further waste my dad’s money (what with all the money spent on the ticket, dress, hairstyling, make up, etc). The only way would be for my bro to send me home (my dad would be too tired aft a day’s work), and that was what he did, even though he had an exam the next day. Well, i didn’t stay too late either, cuz i knew i should compromise. My brother, who could have otherwise rested in bed early, stayed up just so he could send me home.

My brother may not be someone who outwardly shows his care (if u see how we behave when we’re together, you’ll understand :P ), but from his little gestures, i feel it. Yes, we do have our occasional arguments, and sometimes i feel i can’t stand him. But more often than not, we’re always debating (in a friendly way). It could even be over something mild or lame. It’s not an argument, cuz we’ll be smiling or giving some exaggerated facial expressions when we’re debating. I love such sessions. Helps to stimulate my mind to think fast to rebuke him back. Haha. We’ll also pop by each other’s room through the connecting toilet to disturb/annoy/irritate the other. But i like my brother the way he is. Not too giving (i might take advantage :P), not too selfish ( i might just whack him. Actually no, he’s the stronger one), but just right. Oh, and another thing, he gave me valuable advice when i was choosing my uni courses. :D

Well, yesterday his uni friends came over for a bbq to celebrate the end of their exams. I wanted to eat bbq food, so it started with ‘kor, help me take the chicken wings...’ His reply was, ‘ u ownself go up and take lar!’ ‘i paiseh..got so many of you all there...’ was my reason. later, when two of his friends came down with him, i asked his friends to remind my brother to help me take.. (smart right!) but it ended up with his friends passing to me, cuz my bro went to comfort a crying bibi who was in shock when a stranger did a peek-a-boo i think. Enable to end my craving for chicken wings, i ended up joining his friends for the bbq. They were really nice, and crazy too. Haha. Vodka was added to watermelon ( i tried the milder one, cuz the watermelon was cut in half.), chicken (quite nice leh!) and soft drinks. They also bbq banana in chocolate sauce. There was also the usual bbq food like ‘kobe’ beef, honey chicken wings, satay. About half left for clubbing after that while the remaining stayed for mah-jong after helping to clear the place. But the place was still oily and dirty. So my brother and i decided to wash up the place (we later found out that my helper was waiting to wash up the place and so had not bathed! But she was nevertheless grateful that we helped her). As we were washing and scrubbing, i said to him, ‘kor, do you know why i’m helping you out?’ He casually answered, “cuz u also ate the food.” “ No. It’s cuz i’m your sister. As my brother, you went out of your way to help me that time at NUS. It was quite sweet of you.” He doesn’t say anything. Well, i wasn’t trying to return favour or anything, i just wanted to let him know he was sweet. Of course, my trademark whining (that i climbed the stairs 5 times while bringing things down) probably discredited me, but he didn’t say anything to my whines. Perhaps, it’d would have been better if i whined less. After all, i don’t hear my brother complaining that he stayed up late to send me home, or he took precious time to direct me to the right place.

Japan trip

2008-05-07T14:24:00.002+08:00

It was my first time at Japan. And it’s indeed quite an eye-opener. Here's what i remember bout my time there...

1) They sell HUGE doughnuts! like about 1.5 times the size of an average doughnut found here. (i initially felt it was twice the size, but when my sister modelled the size with her hands, it looked quite exaggerating.) Very yummy. The chocolate one i ordered (instead of the usual hardened chocoloate topping we're familiar with) had 'chocolate sauce' kind of thing, so each bite would leave chocolate stains on your mouth.
2) Since we're on the subject of size, the Japanese crows are INTIMIDATING. Why? Cuz they're about twice the size of their counterparts here. Yes. HUGE. And they're not afraid to swoop over your heads. I've seen a couple of them, and they're usually alone, not in a flock. Luckily. Or it'd have been REALLY INTIMIDATING.
3) Now, on the MRT. Some trains bypass stations. So it'd be faster if one were to travel to far places. Of course, there are trains that would go past all the stations, but that's a different matter. I guess it is ideal but not practical here, cuz Singapore doesn't have many stations to begin with. And there's the additional option of our extensive network of buses. Japan's too big, so it'd be more practical if stations are bypassed. Allows its commuters to reach their destinations faster. Another thing, while Singapore only has 3 MRT lines, Japan has about 20/30 (cant rmb, but u get the idea) MRT lines. Just seeing a map of all the lines itself is confusing enough.
4) Still on the topic of MRT, Japanese would give way to ppl going out. Only when everyone has gone out do they then go in. But they don't really have to worry about hearing the familiar 'door closing.. deedeedeedeedee...' cuz the driver would get out of his cabin at each station, ensure everyone was safely in, before pressing a button at the station that would give some music (to signal that they’re departing), and then close the doors. No need to rush.
5) The handles on the MRT escalators had advertisements printed on it. Cool huh. Cuz usually when u're on the escalator, u've got nth to do/see. So the advertisements would have served its purpose by being in such an ideal spot.
6) Escalators! Everyone automatically stands left. So the right side is for ppl who want to walk up. No one stands on the right (blocking those walking). That's unseen and unheard of. I know in Singapore, we're learning and getting used to it. :)
7) The Japanese'd bring their trays back to the counter after they've eaten for the convenience of the next diner.
8) The toilets are awesome. I remembered one public toilet that i went to. The moment you entered the cubicle, it would start playing the sound of rushing water. The activation of the sound was independent of each cubicle. Very useful, as some ppl might be embarrassed when they do their business, so the sounds help to drown out the call of nature. Of course, you could choose to deactivate the sound if you found it unnecessary.
9) There's auto soap dispenser and auto tap water! I think for all the toilets that i went to, the tap water came out automatically, which is definitely more hygienic. There was even one that had an auto soap dispenser! My mum said she came across one in a local shopping centre before..
10) There's also some alcohol-kind of thing in each cubicle for you to clean your toilet seats with. Prevents the spread of germs.
11) The Japanese are VERY POLITE, esp those in the service sector. I couldn't be more amazed at their services.
12) It's said that Singaporeans have the fastest walking pace in Southeast Asia. We would have lost this top place if we were compared to the Japanese.
13) It was almost quite hard to spot a dustbin. Having lived in Singapore, one would be used to seeing a dustbin almost every few meters. It's different in Japan. Surprisingly, the place is still relatively clean.
14) Sadly, there're homeless ppl. You'll see them if you're walking along the pavements in the evening/night. I suppose it's due to the high cost of living there. :( The things there are definitely more expensive. I'm glad our government takes necessary measures to ensure we have a roof over our heads.
15) Language barrier. I know only a few Japanese words, and the Japanese also knew limited English. But we got on mostly with hand gestures. :)
16) The Japanese are all immaculately dressed, esp the males. Seeing them in coat-and-tie suits is a common occurence, even those in their late teens. But that's partly cuz the weather's cold (our temperature, 32 degC, is twice theirs!). And i love their sch uniforms!
17) Went to this famous temple (called Kannon temple i think). Saw many tourists there. There were these booths outside the temple that helped to tell your fortune. You'd shake this container with sticks. A stick with a number comes out. You open the appropriate numbered drawer, pull out a slip of paper and read your fortune. I tried it out of curiousity. The first one gave me 'bad fortune'. :( Undeterred, i went to another booth, and had 'small fortune'. The third and fourth one i went to gave me 'good fortune' (although both had different descriptions of my good fortune). There was also this huge urn. Ppl were fanning the incense smoke to themselves. I suppose it's meant to give good health or luck.
18) DISNEYLAND! Every child's dream. Managed to watch the disney parade. But missed out on the fireworks, no thanks to the rain. Yea, the rain dampened moods, and we couldn't sit in a lot of the outdoor rides. Left earlier too.. :( But it's still an eye-opener nonetheless. Luckily the rain only came near the end, so we still managed to enjoy the trip. At FantasyLand, there were opportunities to take pics with various Disney characters. But we were queuing up for a ride, so didn’t managed to. Two Disney characters sat on the same ride with us too! When we were done, the characters were, unfortunately, whisked away to prepare for another parade. :( At the Disney souvenir stores (there’s quite a few of them, but the things are really ex), i was tempted to buy this jigsaw puzzle that had all the Disney characters in them. Yes, ALL! It was glow-in-the-dark kind, so i thought maybe i could hang it in my room when i’m done piecing though i know my sis would object. Not the hanging part, bt the buying part cuz it’s a waste of money. I know, which was what made me reluctantly decide against it (note: It was quite ex, but well.. it’s original Disney.......) there was this other jigsaw that also had all the Disney characters too, but it was glittery kind. Unique huh. So well, i didn’t get anything for myself at Disneyland in the end. :( i think my dad knew i wanted sth for myself, so he actually allowed me to buy the jigsaw... So it was a matter of whether i wanted to get it or not. I told myself i won’t regret not buying. But well, there’s a tinge of regret now.. haha.. No souvenirs from Disneyland, but at least i’ve ‘been there, done that’. :D
19) Went to this building that had many levels of toys. At a level that had all the soft toys/ toy cars (basically toys for the younger children), bibi was fascinated. We could leave him there for hours and he won’t get bored. Well, i chanced upon this box of toys that had about 20 small Disney figurines. It was about S$2 per figurine. I was tempted again to buy (guess i wanted to bring back some Disney souvenir), and my parents were actually all for it. But I felt it would be a waste, as I didn’t know where to put them at home. Just as we were about to leave (the toy store was closing), we realized bibi was missing. We split up, and later found him watching some moving toy trains. Just then, i saw my dad running to the cashier with that box of figurines. I raced hin there, and it became a matter of who the casher would listen to. “Hurry scan!” “NO! Don’t scan!’ The cashier got confused and put the box one side, not knowing what to do with it. “Hurry scan!” my dad kept pressing, gesturing with one hand to the cashier to scan the price, while using the other to keep me away. “No!” and i stretched my hand to cover the tag, and fervently shook my head. Luckily, I managed to snatch the box away. My sweet dad shot the cashier an angry look (i still remember that look), but i’m grateful the cashier hesitated in scanning. But that just proved how sweeeeetttt my dad is.. :) cuz he wanted to get me sth, knowing i wanted it, but had felt it not practical to buy it.
20) at prisky’s request, my mum managed to get her a sakura. But while it was being dried near the window, bibi spotted it. The next thing i knew, the petals were all scattered on the floor. Took a pic of the end product with bibi sitting and pointing at it. Sooo kawaii! Another thing. Prisky wanted the airlines peanuts. My mum and I each saved ours for her (on our return trip). Unfortunately, bibi choked on a kitkat, and vomited. In a rush, my mum took the bag (which had the peanuts in it) to contain the vomit. Oops. There goes. Haha. Luckily we still had two packets from our flight to Japan.

Well, guess that’s all for now.. :)

yepp.. the title says it all! haha.. went back RJ for street night today. It was mainly some performances put up by about 7 differnt groups of J1s (yepp.. that's quite a large number of J1s!) at the LT. The standard not bad eh! The other J3s that turned up included cheryl li, sam, junting, benny, xinzi, clarice and sherlyn. I love being a senior! It makes mixing around the juniors all the more easier. Plus you get kid around, and go crazy with them. haha. Got to make quite a number of new friends too, cuz there were loads of new faces. However, there was word around the J3s about the good news when the j1s were performing. But the j2s had yet to announce to us. They finally did that amidst champange popping (non-alcoholic!), cake-cutting and shouts of euphoria. We even have our own dance instructor too! We later shifted to the beauty-and-the-beast area for dinner, and the J1s did an encore of the performances cuz some J3s missed it. There was also special performance by sam and benny (and josh and another j2) eh! sam miraculously did not tear his army uni. lol. Managed to catch up with my peers when we retreated to an air-conditioned seminar room while the J2s and J1s started getting high and danced around outside. Left like about 10plus with the other j3s. The remaining J2s and J1s had some debriefing and breaking of news of who can stay in street (cuz heard we're given a quota of 25 ppl only. haiz..). Before we left, we saw one J1 guy running out of the seminar room with a 'I got in!' shout. Cheryl li said it reminded her of 'American idol' where the contestants who made it would break into shouts of relief. haha. well then. that's all for now. Have to wake up early for tutoring tmr.. It's far far away! :)

Taiwan trip

2008-04-04T10:48:00.002+08:00

Before the memories fade away, I guess I'll better jot it down first. Went taiwan with my family (minus my studying siblings). Coincidentally, it came at a period when most of slackers just came back/going to taiwan too.. Eugene, pris and ling went there last Dec, and ting and xuan went after me.

At taiwan, we met up with this family. The son was my bro's best friend in primary school and the daughter is my sis' age. Coincidentally, my dad knew their dad too. From the time i came to understand things, the family was already part of our close social circle. Sadly, they left Singapore, shifted to Australia and later back to taiwan. But that meant we could meet up with them during this trip! :D

Here are some places that I've visited or things that I've done or interesting things that I've seen!

1) NIGHT MARKETS! A must-go. Went to xi1 men2 ting1, shi4 lin2 and tong1 hua4 jie1. Clinched some good deals, but that were some vendors who were stricter with their prices and refused any bargaining.. :(
2) Dormant volcanoes on yao2 ming2 shan1. The friendly jia3 family was our guide. The place smelt like boiled eggs, and there were some parts of it that were steaming-hot, so you could still feel the heat though you had your footwear on. There was smoke coming out from some volcanoes too. The scenery was awesome.
3) On the way down from the windy mountain roads that were lined with stalls selling flowers/food, we stopped by one. The dish I loved most was the chicken soup. Sumptuous! The soup was made from free-to-run-around kampong chicken (so no injections) which probably added to the taste. Better still, the soup was refillable and kept hot! :D
4) After that lunch, we took a walk around some garden. It was hugggeee. I saw hybrid flowers too! There was this type of flower that's naturally white. But through hybridization, I caught sight of some that were purple, pink and even my favourite blue!
5) Went for a hot spring bath after that. The water is channelled from the aforementioned volcanoes and so is hot. Peiyi and I shared a 'cubicle', while my parents and the jia3 couple each had their own. But peiyi and I got out first la, and we later learnt we were doing the wrong method. You're supposed to alternate between being in the hot bath and out of it. But peiyi and I just stayed the whole time in the hot bath. Haha. When we later had to clense ourselves with the running water from a hose, our shrieks and shouts were definitely audbile. The water was icy-cold, and it didn't help that our body was probably accustomed to the temperatue of the hot bath by then! We initially took turns to douse ourselves, but to make the process quicker, we let the other be the tormenter (i.e. she sprayed the water on me, and I later on her). Brrrrrrrr...
6) The temperature in taiwan was usually between 15-17 deg C. I love the weather!!! It's like free air-con wherever you go!
7) oh ya, the jia3 family brought us to this unique restaurant. It was designed by this lady who had no background in designing. But she creatively used planks and wood to come up with her own designs (they're one-of-a-kind!), and she's been invited to design buildings in other countries too! So after the meal, we girls went around each level of that (izit 5 storeys??) building taking pics.. yepp. we're camera-armed!
8) Swiiimmmmiinngg (dragged the word to mimic the stammering cold). Went swimming twice cuz bibi LOVES water. Freezing cold (see point 6). But it was fun. Played with the available floats too! But couldn't stay long cuz we were soon shivering.
9) oh yes! Auntie Jia3 made a delicious home-cooked meal for us. Restaurant standard okay! haha. Despite the many years that we've never seen each other (when they moved), my dad still firmly believes that Auntie Jia3 makes the best ox tail soup. But i loved her prawns! and she made this beef soup.... I'm a soup-person, but I tried to leave as much of the soup behind as i could (cuz i drank the soup without the ingredients, so what's left in the big bowl was mainly the ingredients and err...minimal soup). oops.
10) of cuz of cuz.. there was the free DVD rentals in the hotel! managed to watch a lot of shows that i missed in the movies.movie-marathon has just been redefined!
11) Saw this interesting cat-and-mouse game of the police and illegal vendors at the night markets. We were looking at some shirts when suddenly the guy slammed shut his briefcase and joined other running ppl. o.O unfortunately, we saw a young couple who was caught. They had to forfeit their briefcase and some cash (about $100?)..
12) Another interesting scene was that of a police and cabby. Tink the cabby was parking illegally? but it ended with the cabby using his phone to take pic of the police's licence plate, and the police doing the same to the cabby. There were 2 policemen by then. One of the policeman tried to stop the cabby from driving off, but to no avail. :(
13) Another eye-opener: diagonal pedestrian crossing! At a cross-junction, all the cars from the 4 directions would stop, and the pedestrians would be free to cross vertically, horizontally and even diagonally! There's markings on the road for diagonal crossing!
14) Last but not least (for now), went to taipei 101 (the tallest building in the world!). In like less than 10 sec in the world's fastest lift, we reached the 88th level (which is the highest level currently opened to the public). As we went there at night, we caught this amazing view of all the night-lights. We each exchanged our coupon for some handphone-like tingy that served as our audio tour guide, telling us what to look out for at each numbered station. Also learnt about this 'baby damper', which is a super-heavy weight that hangs from the middle of the building to prevent the building from shaking by a large amount when there're strong winds and rains. Cool huh.

yepp.. that's all for now about my taiwan trip. No doubt I thoroughly enjoyed myself. Wonder how ting (and xuan who's leaving tmr) is doing now ......

diabetic times...

2008-03-13T00:54:00.003+08:00

trying to learn two songs now.. one's by 5566, the other's by angela zhang shao han. The fact that i even have both the songs now is really xuan's credit. I actually typed out the whole process of her sweetness in this entry, but on second thought, decided to delete that part cuz it's private.. It's only for me to xin shang and be grateful for.. : )

xuan's sweetness reminded mi of ling's in one of many incidents, just that this significiant incident stood out from the rest. Again, it's only for me to be appreciative of. Will only leak that it has sth to do wif 'hua yang shao nian shao nu'.. : )

prisky has a part to play in that sugary sickness too.. Once more, i'm not elaborating.. only that it has to do wif her mp3.. : )

Yepp.. these are a few of the many slacker's diabetic times.. :D

oh.. met up wif xie shern at rj today.. he's grown sooooo much! Taller and bigger-sized! o.O last time was the direct opposite lor. but last time's about 2 years ago?? Unless u consider that hi-bye situation when i met him and some other ccls at the paopaocha shop last yr (??).. got him to treat me drink. eh! i waited very long leh..! talked bout all the good old times.. meeting up wif some other 'graduated' section members tmr.. cuz there's some ccl camp in chung cheng.. but the whole batch of camp ppl all i bu shou de.. xie shern's batch was my last shou batch.. now even his batch graduate le... how time flies eh.....

2008-03-04T18:42:00.001+08:00

late jan-early feb

2008-02-09T00:19:00.000+08:00

uh-oh.. i think i'm getting lazier. So weird. when i was busier, i had tonnes of things i wanted to write, but din have the time to. Now i'm much more free, but gotten lazier.. >.<>

em...had a very memorable way of spending my 19th year on earth --> on my bed.. fell sick on bdae eve.. had diarrhoea and was vomitting throughout the night and the next day, so had to cancel all my plans on the 26th.. oh! lost like about 2.5 kg (out of fun and curiousity, i went to weigh myself.. :P) den went to see the doc like at 11 plus when i din get beta aft taking my mum's medicine (my mum and grandma and bibi had similar symptoms first).. thank God by the 27th, i was already recovering quite quickly larx.. ^.^ thanks guyz for all ur bdae wishes and concern! :D

had a lil early celebration wif cake, dharsh and natc at amk hub.. and another belated one wif slackers (ling, ting, prisky, xuan and benji) and ms k! celebrated for ting also.. had an 'ice-cream waffle cake'.. we shared snippets of what we were doing and stuff, and heard lotsa interesting true stories from ms k.. lolx.. she dun be story-teller very ke xi lehx! :) to both groups, thanks for taking time out guyz! appreciate it.. ^.^

peu dropped by my place last wk too.. and it was realli sweet of her, cuz she came all the way from the east by public transport (i thot her dad wld send) to pass mi this jar (which she decorated wif pics and a msg) of choc chip cookies that she hand-baked, and a mitten/handphone pouch wif the letters of half my name ironed on it.. one, two, three... awww....

oh.. her sweetness reminded mi of cake's. There was this goodluck sms that cake sent during our As. The first part shows a bear wif closed eyes and clasped hands and the words 'i haf sumtin 4 u'.. the next pic shows the bear wif opened eyes but with clasped hands still, and the words 'but i'm shy leh..' then there's a looooonnnng blank space, after which the bear appears again and hands out a bottle and the words' gif u essence of chicken! :)' welll... i was teasing cake bout giving mi a real one.. and SHE DID! o.O on the day of my h3 exam.. when benji and i were doing a last look-through of his summary, she came to mi.. and said and acted as the bear in the msg did, ending wif a REAL bottle of essence of chicken.. but before she said the 'gif u essence of chicken' part (the last part) i was like 'dun tell mi u realli giving mi..' and she replied 'if real, den how?' and i was like 'er.. dun tink it'll be real lor'.... oopx.. hahax.. wanted to 'type out' the whole msg (including that bear) here but it may not appear nicely on my blog.. so..... dun waste time larx kay.. :)

met up wif cake, guiyi, grace and yuk for lunch at new york new york aft church last wk too.. heard lotsa 'france stories' and 'army stories' and 'teaching stories'.. yuk had to go back ns in the evening, then the rest of us wanted to go k-boxing (relieving post As days where the same 4 of us celebrated the end of As together at kbox).. but.. it was so exxx! >.<>

todae was 3r's cny gathering.. still rmb last yr, we lou hei in the sch canteen until we made quite a mess.. cuz we wld life quite high, den let go.. haha.. this time it was held at my hse larx.. but must thank melu for all the organizing... ppl present were mi (of cuz!), ding ding, natlow, natc, nut, shimin and dharsh, melu and guiyi, grace, xinhui, jiayi and huanghuan.. i'm quite surprised that most managed to find their way here on their own.. except finding the right hse larx... ^.^ even nut can get it wrong.. *shakes head* but still.. not bad larx! after hearing the '(in melu's words) nonsensical rambling from career women, our defenders at ns and other unemployed but happy or otherwise ppl', we played blackjack wif peanuts while waiting for the food to arrive (all dare not play wif money) with grace as was our almost-bankrupt banker.. :) we did the yusheng tossing (the yusheng set was missing the carrots and stuff.. so we onli tossed the crackers wif all the sauce.. cool eh!~) den had food-cum-tidbits.. and loads of tea (ice lemon tea/ apple tea).. not that i'm complaining.. it's non-gasey mahx... :) suay ting was.. cake thot the gathering was tmr, so she thot she couldn't make it.. grrr... it would have been more fun if she was around.. and it 'd be the first time that the girls i'm closer to are all present. usually guiyi or guiyi would be absent, and dharsh is often missing in action.. grrr.. cake said there was more hope of her turning up had she known it was todae.. she prob din read melu's msg properly during all the cny visitings larx.. :(( about 4-5 ppl went to play mahjong aft that, while those that were still around played UNO, den 'swap'.. the 2nd game's damn fun, esp wif ppl like melu and huang huan around.. cuz they ask the cutest qns.. :) it's always best to follow natlow to know when's the right time to 'snap'.. grace is easily distracted by ppl talking, and when that happens, she's the last to put her hand down. That girl attributes her keener sense of hearing to swimming, cuz u have to hear the blast of the horn before plunging mahx.. tsk.. excuse not valid larx! oh.. and shimin's currently teaching (my junior) xieshern! so i got to hear more stories.. :) i love stories~! :D

been reading quite a few books lately.. most of them courtesy of prisky.. she's my small mobile library. Read 'female brain' halfway (quite interesting), and there was also 'Chicken soup for the Christian soul' (got some touching stories), 'Na xiao zi zhen shuai' books 1 and 2 (lolx.. this is so-far the only 2 Chinese books that i voluntarily read.. it's my 2nd time reading these though.. read it for the first time from szwee, when it was quite popular and being circulated around class.. den recently saw parts of the movie 'shuai xiao zi' adapted from the book on tv.. so had this longing to read it again.. mentioned it to prisky, and lo and behold! she actually had the books! never expect larx! :D), 'Chicken soup for the teenage soul' book 1 and book 2 (currently reading).. prisky has part 3 too! cool eh..

2008-01-02T21:38:00.000+08:00

2007-12-30T17:55:00.000+08:00

so weird.. used to wana blog during exam period.. now no exams le.. but abit lazy.. hhmm.. summary of of this month (and abit of last month's)..

After As, next day went xuan's hse for a bbq-cum-stayover.. watched 'transformers' and 'bu4 neng2 shuo1 de4 mi4 mi4' courtesy of xuan.. the bbq was damn fun.. fire started by alvin and eugene (our guyz from npcc and scouts).. quite fast.. there was even a point in time when they started cooking 'smoke fish' cuz the smoke got damn big.. o.O wif those clowns around, the day sure damn funnie one.. oh ya.. some got a little tipsy too (aft they started mixing alcohol and soft drinks).. red face, slurred speech.. LOL.. aft bbq, we chilled by the swimming pool.. den got some random person help us take group photo.. oh ya.. ppl present were mi, xuan, prisky, ling, shu, alvin, eugene and benji.. yap.. initially the guyz weren't staying over.. but by the end of the night, all 3 were.. onli shu left.. the rest played mahjong too.. i duno, din wana learn too.. maybe next time bahx.. hahax.. yepp.. i wan a 'next time'! played some lame fish game wif ling and eugene too.. reali damn lame.. but fun larx.. of cuz the girls and guyz zzz diff rooms larx.. we got the big bed though! :D oh!! muz specially mention! we played bridge before leaving xuan's hse.. mi and the other 3 guyz.. and i won for all the games!! (err.. except the last one).. eh.. but quite zai right!! hahax.. (the stayover at xuan's was) a very great close to the end of As !

next big event was prom night.. it's bigger den cchms' one.. took more photos, got more tables and ppl to mingle wif, more food, spent a longer time (esp wif postprom)... at my table got mi, jiayi, natc, cake, timo, yuki, grace, guiyi, huang huan, melu, dharsh and nat low.. most of the time, the table wld always have empty seats and piling plates of food (esp jiayi).. lolx.. the excitement and anticipation of seeing frenz dressed up was still there.. the girls and guyz came dressed for the event.. all cao chio and shuai.. wanted to specially mention those more chio/shuai one.. but realized damn hard.. can onli say.. natlow dressed quite unique.. and it's totally her! :P left early for postprom cuz din wan my bro to wait too long for mi (by then was close to 2am??) esp since he had sth on the next day.. from what i heard.. i realli missed out on a lot, esp matt's drunken state.. :P

went for a 7-day tutoring job at westspring sec sch.. made quite a lot of new frenz.. taught maths and comb sci (phy and chem)... i intro-ed myself wif my first name, but got called 'tcher' or 'lao shi'.. so cute.. went through the bargaining stage and the talk-nonsense-so-can-waste-time stage that most teachers wld have gone through too.. the bargaining stage main aim is to do as less work as possible, which i tink i managed to compromise.. (i.e. if they can finish what i assign them.. i'll let them off early).. the other stage was quite funnie.. there was this student, erica, that zi yuan help mi read out the qns.. den give mi lotsa know-it's-wrong-but-still-wana-say ans.. was even told some lame-jokes and discussed about some korean shows (aft finish work larx).. then there were these 2 girls, Adeline and Yi Lin, from my maths class who wld always help mi buy drinks and food during our break.. on last day went lunch, den took lotsa lame pics wif this group of girls.. damn qiao lorx.. all the girls in that group were either taught by mi, or cake or were once taught by both of us (cuz halfway there was some reshuffling of classes).. they include cailing, yuen leng, olivia, chanel, min duan, nian ting and shufen.. yap.. a bunch of nice kids.. :)

oOo.. met up wif 2406 too (glenn, jiahui, ivan, simon, yuling).. dat day rained damn heavily.. so aft we got our shoes/slippers/jeans/sleeves wet while trying to reach MIND cafe near dhoby ghaut.. realized dat place full le.. -.- so simon called and booked another branch one.. and since it was still raining quite heavily, and taxi fares haben increased yet.. we went there in 2 taxis.. played some dumbly fun games... got this game make u do weird dares.. o.O joined guiyi, grace, cake, yuk and matt for dinner aft dat.. at fish maket i tink.. yepp.. photowhore.. again.. :)

went for a christmas dinner wif qian, peu and jia.. glad there was this time to catch up.. thanks qian for inviting!! well.. it's still as noisy (wif peu and jia.. it's difficult not to.. :P) the programmes were quite interesting.. luckily our table was just in front of the stage, but far from the food! :( got a free table photo to keep as a momento.. though i brought my own cam too larx... how can i not?! :)

was invited by prisky for carolling the next day.. shu came too! :D my first time eh! quite fun too.. went to a few houses and 2 homes (one for the elderly, one was the children's) my first time to such homes.. a lot of first times eh! there were about 100 carollers i tink.. from the 2 zion churches (at bishan and serangoon).. all youths.. :)

spent christmas eve and christmas wif family.. had bbq on the eve, and steamboat-cum-teppanyaki on the day itself.. both times at our balcony upstairs.. we put up balloons, blasted the radio.. awww.. a very warm christmas unlike any other.. :) but whoa.. we almost burnt the house down too.. but it was due to some candles (u know.. those that come in that silver 'casing') that my dad put on the table while we were counting down to christmas.. well.. u can see the wax marks on the tables and floor if u come.. quite hard to scrub off.. :)

all in all.. a very meaningful December and heartwarming Christmas.. :D

** left out some other impt days though (like mi bro's and sis' bdae!!) .. both celebrated very specially... but.. that's for next time (if i not too lazy that is.. :P)

grades

2007-10-01T19:51:00.000+08:00

hhmm.. sometimes, grades tend to form some related words.. like 'dead', 'bad' etc.. managed to form a new word again this time.. it definitely looks more positive (the word.. not the grades) to the above two.. : ) getting back last paper tmr.. scarryyy...

It...???

2007-09-28T21:54:00.001+08:00

It's been very confusing.. It did this and it did that.. and it's happened, and is happening... haiz.. onli she'll know where i'm getting at, cuz she's had experiences with it, and is still experiencing it.. But she's making everyone else experience it too... good?? not good?? It's just like dat.

:(

2007-09-27T21:15:00.000+08:00

Disappointing. Disappointing. Disappointing.

but I thank You for whatever You've given me, and i believe things happen for a reason, as they're part of Your greater plan.]

Thanks too, to guiyi, cake, grace and jiayi for all those comforting words.. :)

2007-09-25T02:01:00.000+08:00

when u're studying, the mind tends to wander off more often than usual.. at least for mi.. one of the tings i thought about was the similartities in the groups of girls i'm close to (sec 2, sec 4 and jc).. they consist mainly of 4 cateogaries: got dancers (ahh.. the graceful ppl), 'tough' ppl (so dun bully mi horx!), 'bulliable' ppl (cuz they're just SO nice) and the noisy/laming kind (adds liveliness to the group!).. wanted to do a list of who they are, but neh.. u all can group urselves.. not good to divulge too much information niwaex.. hahax.. ohx! and some of them dun like horror shows as much as i do.. haha..

then there's the pre-exam and exam period.. got by mostly wif versus.. they reali help.. here are some, they might help you too! (1) Mark 11:22 (2) Philippians 4:13 (3) Psalm 46:1 (4) Matthew 28:20 (5) Ephesians 3:20.. go check them out.. :) so yap.. a big thankew to bibi and natl (and matt) esp for those msgs! and to all those who sent jiayou msgs too! :)

2007-08-02T21:01:00.000+08:00

Thankew daryl!!! finally.. a song whose lyrics i've unsuccessfully tried looking for.. (thanx prisky for helping too!) mentioned in one of my blog posts about this song.. the lyrics' quite meaningful.. :)

There is a place high in my mind
Where lofty thoughts, ideals fly high
But in that place, Lord You must reign
And I must cease to think I'm wise

There is a place locked in my will
Where I would move as I would choose
But in that place, Lord You must reign
And I must loose my will for Thine

There is a place hid in my heart
Where secret dreams and hopes I guard
But in that place, Lord You must reign
And I must lay them down to die

There is a place, cold burial ground
Where all my sins and griefs are bound
But from that place, Lord You were raised
Now I in Thee through death shall live

There'll be a place, some glorious day
Where pain and death be done away
And in that place, Lord You must reign
And we shall give Thee ceaseless praise

thankew Lord for granting mi parents and bibi a safe journey home! ^.^

harry potter movie

2007-07-14T10:23:00.000+08:00

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix movie rawkz!! well, they missed out many parts, and they changed some parts.. but overall.. still acceptable larx.. :) the fightings at the last scene was DAMN heart-pounding larx.. and when harry first conjured up the patronus charm to save he and dudley, mi and pris were clapping (silently) while xuan er.. got no effect.. hahax.. there were other clapping scenes also larx.. like when the Order came and face the kids.. some parts mi and pris were discussing what was left out, or what was changed.. guess we became too excited and talked abit loud, until this woman beside us was like 'could u plz keep quiet?' oopx.. sorriex.. :(

aft movie, was pee-ing time.. u cant imagine all the long queues in the female toiletS larx.. yes.. toilets wif a capital S.. we went to at least 4 toilets on our way to the mrt.. and each time we saw a queue, mi and pris wld walk out.. soon, we came up wif this tell-tale sign.. if u see guyz waiting outside the toilet ritex, means inside the female toilet sure got queue.. quite a good gauge lehx!

on the way to the toilet, i was in a harry potter mood larx.. so as we were walking frm marina square to the linkway to mrt.. i kept pointout out places or ppl that looked like scenes from the movie.. xuan ah.. like no reaction one.. onli wan mi and pris to go more toilets so she can window shop.. at least pris got give face and laugh.. :)

stil rmb the last time the 3 of us watched HP and the Goblet of Fire.. den on the way down the escalator, we started imitating the girls from Fleur Delacour's school (i cant seem to rmb the name of the sch now).. well, we did a slight imitation of luna lovegood's voice.. hahax..

yap ppl.. go watch the show.. den buy the last book and read.. :)

2007-07-09T16:43:00.000+08:00

i told myself i wun break down.. whatever the results.. yapx.. it din happen in sch.. but it did at home.. ha.. but i believe there's a reason for everything.. just pray and believe.. :)

2007-07-08T10:03:00.000+08:00

so weird.. blog wun let mi add in a title.. :(

went for our second chomp chomp dinner on thur night.. we ordered carrot cake, (medium) stingray, fried hokkien prawn mee, chicken wings, pizza, 2 HUGE glasses of sugar cane, and 4 plates of flavoured beancurd (choc, strawberry, mango and egg).. it was a dinner filled wif lotsa laughs and more laughs.. LOLx! jia went to befriend this elderly 70+ year old woman who was sitting beside her (cuz there was lack of space so had to share seats) when her 50+ year old daughter went to buy food.. lolx.. the age was provided by the elderly woman aft jia 'intro' us to her.. mapok's age was reduced to 13, while mine increased to 22 -.- the other two were made to have the same age as jia (who's still 17).. and i was a doctor studying at raffles medical hospital, specializin in er..lets-leave-that-out.. and my sch uni became my doc uniform.. lolx.. but it was damn funnie larx.. of course, there were other silly tings that jia did, like loudly announcing she wanted to go toilet, and asking us, one-by-one, to acc her.. lolx.. we were at a hawker centre, so ppl were like looking over their shoulders or just staring at us.. and mi and qian had great fun imitating jia's 'suddenly feminine' movements.. hahax.. wanted to pop over ms gan's hse on the way to my hse, but she went out for dinner.. so we went straight to my hse larx.. watched lotsa tv tgt (eg Switched) and separately (cuz mi and mapok wanted watch incredible tales), but the rest wanted watch this super nanny show.. in a blink of an eye, jia and peu's parents came to pick them up.. peu's parents shun bian fetched qian and mapok home oso larx.. these 2 pairs of parents are ppl who are very easy-going and open, who can/will crap wif mi one larx, since sec sch.. oh ya! during dinner, i said 'in the blink of an eye... the food all finish le'.. and qian and mapok both thought i wanted to say sth more 'philosophical', like '6 mths passed le (the last time we had our first chomp chomp meal)'.. hahax..

had a career fair ytd.. and my daddy rawkz!! although he was sick, he acc mi there.. and he sacrified time and money and effort (i wun elaborate) to help mi get this p&p dvd, which i spent the whole of ytd watchin.. frankly, i was surprised at his efforts to help mi.. which i noe i shdn't be.. :)

Crystal, remember what daddy did for you.

in my hse.. jia, qian, me, peu, mapok (that's not her real name larx.. but a nick name i gave and is mostly used by her frenz now, including those in jc.. *claims credit* :P )

2007-06-30T02:42:00.000+08:00

just finished watching 'Unseeable', a thai horror movie in bro's room by myself, while he was playing comp games.. din feel like zzz-ing yet.. so gona blog bout todae! :)

SO! initially was gona give the blading a miss.. but in the end, even though zzz at about 4am last night, biological clock woke me up at 9 plus in the morning.. continued lazing in bed til about 1015?? even den, was stil undecided over whether shd balde notx, cuz scared by the time i reach ecp, the rest wld have limited time left to blade (cuz they'd be renting)... den my sis was like, 'i know u wan to go larx..' and even offered mi sun tan lotion! so sweeeet! called pris (cuz she's the onli one who has ended cts oso, while the rest were doing their last paper then...) and we started arranging the more specific details..

we ate at parkway's jack's place for lunch.. got student package larx! those who could make it were pris, ling, xuan and eugene.. but their presence was enuf for me.. eugene said i was noiser todae den ytd.. of cuz larx! 'cuz i miss the girls more than i miss the guyz.. and i miss them SO much that anything that's funnie would be like twice as funnie' was agar agar my reply larx.. :)

walked over to ecp aft dat.. eugene borrowed ling's bike.. the 3 girls rented blades while i used my own larx.. feel more comfy wif it, though hafta keep carrying, cuz rented blades there before, but it din feel comfy larx.. oh! one of the rental guyz helped fixed one part of my blades! damn happie!! :D we bladed for bout an hour before stopping for a drink of sugar cane den blade back in time to return the skates.. pris suay lar.. cana injured at the start and end of blading.. lol.. met up wif ms khai and mr lee at macs for dinner.. hahax.. crapping session!

but what was one of the more significant tings that happened, took place rite aft i got home.. i wun elaborate, bt let's just say, that friendship ties got stronger tru it.. i know (most of) the slackers would be ppl i can count on shd i need help/ get into trouble next time.. and i reali appreciate such friendships A LOT.. thankew guyz for being a part of it!! ^.^ of cuz, there are other of such friendships, eg wif recess gang and current classmates, but each are special, each have their own story behind it.. hopefully.. these stories would be scattered wif fairy tale elements, and never-ending endings..... :)

cts over!!!!!!

2007-06-29T03:18:00.000+08:00

YAY!!! FINALLY! after being given one whole june hols to revise for them, they're finally over! todae (or ytd, since past 12am le) was my worst day of the CT week.. had bio and lit tgt larx! o.O stil duno how i managed to pass my tue night.. *thankew Lord* :) i know i wun do well this time round.. have neh felt worst for any tests/exams.. but i believe all things happen for a reason, and it'll eventually work out in God's plans.. must just trust and believe.. :)

aft last paper, went to a hongkong cafe at taka wif cake, idol, jiayi, guiyi and timo.. we sat there for about two hours crapping larx.. long time neh talk until like dat le.. though this time, i was mostly listening.. hahax.. i ate fried spaghetti wif garlic chicken.. at first guiyi thot was spaghetti in 'char kway teow' way.. hahax.. but later said it looked more like 'hokkien prawn mee'.. at least it was not bad.. hahax..

went to meet up wif eugene and alvin aft dat at PS.. they also end exams todae.. pris too, but she tired larx.. so go back rest.. bt the rest of the slackers ending tmr (i.e. todae) so meeting them later.. they goin rollerblading aft their papers.. but i wana zzz more! so shd be skipping dat blading part, though ling offer to help carry my blades and i wld reali love to blade.. but zzz's important! esp a nice long uninterrupted one! :)

niwaex.. back to todae.. aft the two guyz ate finish le.. we wanted to catch a movie.. first choice: transformers.. BUT the early time slots at GV there sold out.. went to The Cathay.. same ting.. THEN, despo for a movie, and since we had time to spare, we walked all the way to marina square.. but the walking din feel dat long, prob cuz i was wif two lame-ly funny ppl.. they're two of the few guyz i can feel comfy going out wif if i'm the onli girl.. bt suay suay there also sold out.. so we spent some time viewing the trailers that were being aired.. got this show quite nice, sth bout these dolls coming to life.. coming out 12 june, same as harry potter.. looks scary, but nice.. lucky got eugene and alvin sharing the same sentiments, so if i wana find ppl to watch wif, i'll noe who to look for.. :) went over to starbucks aft dat.. talked both lame and some serious stuff.. it was not bad.. :0 lolx.. we talked until bout 10 plus larx! o.O

oohx!! and TWO LUCKY THINGS happened to me todae! ^.^
1) borrowed my junior's locker to keep my and nat's belongings/valuables before we went for lit exam... he gave mi his password and locker no cuz i told him i might be using it for CTs larx.. so aft the exam, i realized dat the password was in my handphone, and my handphone was in my bag, and my bag was in the locker! >.<>

2) phone batt was dying, but i had yet to locate eugene and alvin (cuz i was late larx.. heez..) so was damn scared my phone batt would die before i managed to contact either one.. Thank God again, that my phone died AFTER i met them larx! *double phew* :))

meeting slackers tmr.. going shopping wif sis on sat before GST hike.. and k-boxing wif 3r on mon... whoosh!

(it's some earth day also) got my fav no!! they shd like say 'i do' at exactly 7.07am.. hahax.. the next time a somewhat similar no will occur wld be on 7 july 2070... means 63 years time.. means i'll be 81 (if i'm still alive).. how to marry!!?? :(

daddy's day, street farewell, foolscap, hp, radio

2007-06-14T17:51:00.000+08:00

daddy's day's this sun.. planning sth.. surprisingly, got mi bro's support.. hahax.. sis got some camp, so cant get hers.. :( hopefully it'd turn out well.. yet to start on arrangements though.. hahax.. tmr. yap.. oh.. and there's street farewel tmr too... evening to night... :)

i wana get this green scream city foolscap!! i noe sch doesn't sell.. so muz buy outside.. :( i've got the blue, purple and white ones le.. i wan the green one!!! i saw someone who sat beside on the bus carry it before.. so.. IT EXISTS!! if there were a pink one it'd be quite cool.. hahax.. can add to my new collection.. :D

prisky told mi sth bout the last harry potter book that she heard on radio, and she said jk rowling also confirmed le.. i wun say.. dowana be a spoiler.. bt let's just say.. i don't like the sound of it.. neither does prisky.. hahax..

oohx.. and i've recently taken a liking to listening to radio, ever since i found my hp headset that allows me to plug into my hp and activate the loudspeaker.. prefer listening to the chinese ones.. usually it's 99.3, occasionally it's 100.3... dinnoe that there were so many ppl secretly admiring someone else.. so every night, u'd hear the deejay read out smses that the ppl send bout their feelings and stuff, and asking the deejay for advice.. the deejay would den almost always give a similar one.. (loosely translated) 'tell the person.. so if the person reciprocates.. good.. if not, den u can stop admiring..' and there's this caller i dun quite like for some reasons.. her name's 'agnes' i tink.. hhmm... the deejay i like has gone overseas until next wk... :(

sick.. again..

2007-06-03T21:57:00.000+08:00

before i start ranting bout my sickness.. wana wish ling an advanced HAPPIE BDAE!! just a brief update on the week.. celebrated ling's bdae on monday.. we went to marina sq.. ate this super lllooonnnnggggg lunch.. den watched pirates! well, mi, xuan and pris met earlier to do last min shopping.. okay.. mi and xuan.. pris bought hers alreadi... jo joined us for a short while, but she had to go off see doc larx.. thanx pris and xuan for watchin again, even though u both watched le.. johnnny depp MAY rock.. but ORLANDO BLOOM rocks more! but i dun like the ending...!! :(

on tue.. went for a psycho test.. den family went over to a hotel..

wed! the start of my sickness! duno how i got sick too.. woke up feeling damn giddy.. just standing up made mi feel like my head was contracting, forcing me to lie back down again.. the feeling was horrible.. never felt that way before larx! i even thought i might die (okay.. i'm a drama person...) and then.. this thought occured to me.. that if i were to die then, i would have died without any regrets.. cuz i'm happie wif life, and i dun have kids or say my elderly parents to worry about.. it's quite a nice thought to die without regrets no? WELL.. so in the end.. stayed in bed the WHOLE day.. (i'm not exaggerating).. couldn't even sit up long enuf to eat my lunch and dinner which helper cooked specially for mi, aned even brought to my room! (she rocks..!!!) :D

thur! contiued staying in bed until past dinner time (which means i stayed in bed for a record of abou 45 hours plus plus plus!).. where i finally managed to get up to get my clothes to bathe into.. before that, helper helped me get larx.. after bathing, went back to bed.. took temp.. 38.9degC.. ate panadol.. went down to 37.4degC.. zzz til next morning..

fri.. cough plus sore throat plus flu plus headache came in to full force.. bro dove the car to sch.. so dad couldn't drive me to clinic.. he got helper to acc mi to the clinic near our home instead, which was more ex cuz it's private i tink.. tink he din wana risk aniting happening to mi larx.. :) came back.. took med.. zzz... blah.

sat and sun.. stil not beta.. i'm even coughing as i type this.. was woken up many times last night, either to pee or to cough.. and i thought coughing was a sub-conscious ting! :(

but i tink getting sick is God's timely reminder that ur family and friends care. my room was like some hospital ward. and parents and helper took turns to check on me.. my sis also bought me barley and chestnut.. oh! my helper cooks yummy chestnut drinks too! parents bought liang2 cha2 for me to drink.. bro helped buy dinner.. Those who know also sms to see how i was feeling larx. like even now, i'm sms-ing natc, matt and pris.. they're doin a follow-up check.. hahax.. dharsh and cake too! hahax.. almost sure they got their info from nat.. :) hahax.. oh ya! was supposed to go pris' church todae.. she called and asked ytd, which was how she found how i was sick larx.. surprisingly, she said xuan also sick, wif bad cough too! but she's overseas now, so i cant sms her larx.. oh yes.. overseas! xuan, pris! souvenirs horx! okay... pleeeaassee... *gives puppy eyes*

~helper (for being SO motherly all these years and the years to come)-> 3 french toast, small fried egg and a glass of chrysanthemum tea
~grandma (for being the BEST grandma) -->well... she onli had apples (all nicely sliced up!), cuz eggs got high cholesterol, and french toast needs to be made wif eggs.. sorrie.. but dat does not deny the fact that she's the GREATEST grandma!
~dad (so er... he wun get left out..hahax)--> 2 french toast (his share must be smaller, cuz it's not daddys' day!)

hhmm.. went for guiyi's and jiayi's dance concert, went for nat's drama play, and went for benji's guitar concert! oohx! met up wif ling, ting, jo and xuan for benji's concert.. as well as van and eunice.. den later benji's parents brought us to jalan kayu for roti prata, and cuz it was like 9/10 plus by then.. they sent us home! so sweet rite!! :D (sorrie dharsh bout not goin to ur ics concert...! :X)

VIBE ended on sunday... tink my item was okie.. except that my jacket was in the wrong side larx.. so halfway tru had to run across the dancefloor.. :X forgot steps for finale too! so i juz waited for ruth and emme to finish their part, then bowed wif them.. hahax.. it's a little weird now that VIBE's over, cuz there isn't any more late night practs.. and for the first time in duno how many weeks, i was actually free aft sch todae.. it used to be a trip down to APSN chaoyang, or for practs.. oohx.. had practs the whole of last week... tiring but fun too larx.. gota noe the j2 streeters beta, and got to noe the j1s too! :D oh ya.. thanks guyz for ur support: my family (xiaoyi even invited her frenz along too!), my classmates (cake, dharsh, natc, guiyi, jiayi, grace, timo) and my cchms classmates (peu (she only confirmed wif mi about the existence of the concert that sunday morning itself), ling (she stil came despite the other slackers not coming), qian (i was surprised but glad at her presence..) even though i din ask u guyz (cuz paiseh larx!).. but u guyz still turned up and showed ur support.. *BIG hug* i din tell them cuz paiseh larx.. but luckily some of the streeters were their pri-sch classmates! :) God's little wonders...

em.. initially thot wld die this week, cuz tue had a take-home h3 test, wed having bio spa, thur got chem lect test, and fri got maths test and bio test.. knew i wouldn't have time to study over weekends, cuz sat was taken up by pract the whole day, and sunday was the concert itself.. DEN, by God's grace, chem lect test was postponed! it's amazing how God can make life SO MUCH bearable.. :)

2007-05-01T19:36:00.000+08:00

ARKANA-SO LITTLE TIME
(chorus)
So little time so much to do,
I wanna spend my days with you,
So little time so much to do,
I'd like to spend one day with you,
And if that day is not enough,
Maybe we can stay in touch,
But i'm not making plans for tomorrow,
For tomorrow never comes.

geez.. had pract til 8plus last wed and fri.. until ??pm last sat.. dry run ytd til bout 7plus, and another pract todae again.. came back and plop onto bed... hahax.. i'm tired.. plus there's so much undone work.. but i've like no time.. :(

pw

2007-04-14T20:33:00.000+08:00

whoosh! my whole group had A! hahax.. and we had 'exceeding expectation' for everyting i tink.. :D damn thankful for my group.. stil rmb that time when we were all 'thrown' into our groups.. i was hoping and hoping i'd end up in the same group as one of the second intakers.. but well, the tchers smartly split everyone up .. means all the 2nd intakers were separated, and all the guyz too.. makes the group more even larx..

that day, when i realized who my members were, i was like.. 'uh-oh'.. cuz being new in the class, i din reali talk to them larx so i thought they weren't ppl i could work wif.. shimin is damn smart, and her frequency's definitely higher than my low one.. hahax.. :) joshua and manori were usually quiet, more so for the former.. and i had a 'bad' encounter wif guiyi in the toilet... to break the ice, i tried to lame, esp when we had to decide on a group name and our positions in the group, but the response i got from the rest was a little luke-warm.... :(

thinking back.. time reali flies.. hahax.. and i'm reali glad i'm in the same group as my members.. i definitely wouldn't want to replace any of them wif another.. it'd just be.. different. (like duh! o.O)

Well, God reali has 'plans' for all of us.. and even if his plans dun seem to work out at first, we'll just have to trust that they will, and if it's part of his bigger plans, then they definitely will. :)

thanks for all the late nights and hard work guyz!! :)

just came back from suntec helping out at this NUH tingy.. specific booth was bausch and lomb... damn fun, but legs now aching.. been standing (most of the time) from 11am-8.30pm.. made new frenz too.. madeline, sheena, arion and adrain... lucky had same frequency! the last part was the best.. there was a sudden influx of ppl at our booth.. bt when registration closed, me and cake became santa claus, and started giving out 2+++ boxes of sunshine bread.. those whom we unexpectedly pounced on had this 'shocked' look, like 'where-got-such-ting-as-free-bread' look... or they would go "expiring arhx?" and i'd go, "no larx! manufacture todae one" (i later realize the correct word shd have been 'baked') some zhi4 dong4 came to us to get the bread.. even took more than one, "i help my sister get" or "i help my friend get".. some even sent their kids to get from us cuz ai4 mian4 zi3 bahx?? hahax.. hhmm.. the funnie reactions to free bread.. :P (okay.. i also koped two loaves.. adrain said to take as much as possible mahx........ and my family's quite big too!)

hhmm.. hope arion wld see the good tings in life, and realize that life aint's reali a 'sufferring'.. (if i rmb) i'll visit ur shop when i'm gona change specs kayz! help u advertise: it's at novena there.. the linkway i tink.. duno go up what escalator, and u'll see the shop! go visit! :D

this wk in summary, and abit of next...

2007-03-29T18:21:00.000+08:00

just had h3 test todae.. and gosh.. it was horrid!! i saw the first qn.. and was like.. 'i noe how to do this one.' but somehow, the ans juz slipped out of my mind--> panic!! and it was the first qn! toopid cumulative effect. affected my other qn.. :(

it was bugging benji to tell mi bout this 'w'.. so whenever we were talking about other topics on our way to j8 and later home, that guy somehow had ways to bring 'w' in... it was bugging him to tell mi, but i din wana noe larx... affects mood! so when i got off the bus, i still dinnoe bout the 'w'.. until as i was walking home, my brain somehow drifted to what benji said.. and i got it! which is not good.. too late for regrets.. :(

oh ya.. one RI sec 1 guy stopped benji for a survey as we were walking to a music shop to get his guitar strings.. benji nicely agreed larx.. den i wanted to take over benji's place so he could go get the guitar strings, but that guy wanted to do the survey.. hahax. so the RI boi's partner surveyed mi instead.. he damn shy! bet i scared him too, cuz i kept comparing what his partner did, and what he din do.. (eg "how come ur partner helps fill in the survey but u neva?" or "how come ur partner reads out the qn but u neva?") he got so nervous, until he resorted to memorizing my ans for his open-ended qn, instead of writing down on the spot, for fear of taking up too much time or sth.. damn cute! and we were their first two respondents too, despite them starting half an hr earlier! poor boiz.. we later went back to chat wif them on our way down the escalator larx..

hhmm.. some tings that happened this wk..
cake said 'no' 3 times in a row, prompting idol to sing, "no no no no! no no no!" hahax.. damn funnie.. esp when mi and her said it in front of ding ding, but ding ding din even laugh! :( then mi and idol wanted to play a game of who laugh first.. but we kept laughing and laughing, until when we finally could control, we forgot what the game was about! LOL. :P

oh! and u shd see how natc demos the mtv of gabriella... damn funnie too!

oh ya! the covers for the new harry potter book has been released.. natc spotted it! she was telling us that on one of the covers, it had the 3 people on it.. so i asked, "Who are the 3?" which was actually quite obvious.. but my brain wasn't working then larx.. so matt gave a (damn funnie to mi) ans, "it's u, angie and dharshni".. made mi burst out laughin larx.. but somehow when the others heard it, it wasn't as funnie anymore.. :(

and idol's weird (in a funnie way).. she laughs at my attempts at being funnie.. and makes mi laugh too... :) ooh! sherman and bennett say i lower ppl's IQ.. hahax.. tink there must be some truth in it, cuz guiyi, timo, matt and yuki say so too.. hhmm.. that's good! not everyone possess that skill kayz! :D

there's so many tings i wana do next thur.. but cannot fen1 shen1 shu4.. there's an aj harmoc concert (which some of mi ex-classmates are performing in), street night (where i can bond wif the j1s), and phantom of the opera! of cuz, the last one dominates.. it's sth i've looked forward to since i was a kid larx, when mi dad first intro its songs to mi.. and mi dad booked the tix like.. last nov?? hahax.. damn excited. i'm watching on the same day as ding ding too! so qiao!

oh.. and cake, i'll try to hold ur hands as often as i can, so we'll noe whether or not u forgot ur waterbottle kayz.. :P

2007-03-27T18:45:00.000+08:00

sometimes, i juz hate myself.. of what i am, of what i've become.

on another note, i noe i'm nt gona do well for cts this time.. but i'll accept whatever that comes my way.. cuz i noe, things happen for a reason.. :) yapx.. juz hope i'll be strong enuf to face it, and quit emo-ing! >.<

photowhoring at bishan park

2007-03-24T01:21:00.000+08:00

(left to right) matt, nat and mi.. while playing daidee.. (photo courtesy of cake)

finally aft all the searching for the ideal spot, we set up our lil picnic here.. hahax.. okay.. we LOOK sian here.. but we're not kayz.. juz eaten.. so all resting first, before the REAL photowhoring begins....

poser matt.. hahax.. (thanx for so being spontaneous!)

hail the king... mi and cake 'fanning' him wif leaves we found from the ground.. while matt remains in his pose (from above)

inspired by Bollywood.. :P
nat, cake and mat...

(clockwise) nat's shoes, matt's slippers, cake's slippers, my slippers.. ; )

(cake and nat) the climbing....

...and the climb!

the chameleon wana-be.

stil the chameleon wanna-be. ;)

the effect was unexpected.. hahax.. the pose was (surprisingly) suggested by matt..

(don't EVER follow horx!) the loop... (a knot matt learnt from NCC)

... and the loop-er?? (strictly NO following!) pic is put up for fun ONLY.

a scene near where we were (one of nat's random pics... hahax.. )

er... the deep thinker..?? maybe there really are dendrites forming! hhmm...

thanx loads guyz for todae!!

picnic at bishan park

2007-03-23T23:26:00.000+08:00

so.. aft last night (i mean this morning, considering we onli ended our msn conv at 5am).. we decided to lunch at j8... den go and slack at bishan park... but.. matt had a better idea... tabao family feast kfc meal then eat at the park... cool.. we see his dendrites FINALLY forming.. :P niwaex... so we walked to the park from j8.. and matt, being the nice gentleman he alwaex was, offered to carry our stuff (included the kfc meal plus two 1.5 l drinks- ice lemon tea (for mi and matt) and green tea (for nat and cake)).. okay.. we had a small part in making him carry too larx.. the rest all galz mahx.. and galz are synonymous wif being weaker?? ;)

niwaex.. the walk to the park damn funnie.. hahax.. climbing over the fences eh! careful.. ;) lolx.. cake and nat gave diff directions as to how to go there.. in the end.. the real one was neither... hahax.. ooo.. and matt also said it felt like an 'excursion'??!! hahax.. kinda..

so.. we finally reached the park.. but had a diff time choosing the ideal spot. hahax... it was easy for us galz larx.. cuz the poor guy was carrying the stuff mahx.. we almost sat at the open field larx.. aiyox.. so exposed.. hahax.. niwaex.. we finally found one under this group of trees... quite nice.. had the whole area to ourselves..hahax..

mi, cake and nat were already tucking in to kfc.. when matt heard a song he liked on the radio and din wana eat till it ended.. (oh ya.. muz thank the group's enthusiasm! thanx nat for the radio.. thanx cake for the mat, thanx matt for the marks and spencers choc tingy.. and thanx guyz for all the tidbits too!) yapx.. so aft dat.. we went photowhoring (a term i learnt todae!).. i'll post them here once my sis lets mi use the comp to upload the pics.. (using another comp now larx..) i'm surprised at matt's spontaniety.. we're seeing a diff side of him todae.. hahax.. yapx.. den we played daidee and bridge.. I LEARNT BRIDGE TODAE! (it's sth that cake and nat are also proud of, cuz they (plus matt) taught mi larx.. hahax.. and while they were teaching some terms.. i misheard them, and it turned out wrong.. :X yesh.. and matt came up wif this seriously-dumb-bt-funnie look of sticking out ur tongue if u happen to be his partner.. -.- ) oOo.. i even controlled and won (wif nat's ace at the final round) a game.. cuz i had alot of spades.. so the bid was 4 spades! whoosh.. that feeling was nice.. hahax.. but i pity my first two partners who were controlling the game.. cuz that was the period where i was still trying to get the hang of it.. so hai4 them lose larx.. hahax.. sorriex.. ;) ohx.. and i'm good at making ppl confused over who their partners are.. hahax..

we played this fortune tingy using the cards too... and according to the fortune, i'm supposed to have a bf now.. and my heart is still wif mi...hhmm.. o.O cake also supposed to have a bf too.. den according to the fortune tingy, the dist between her and him is near.. so we thot... MATTHEW! hahax.. or.. that the guy was hiding behind the tree trunk.. or on the branches... or it was the frisbee guyz!! aiyox..

of cuz.. thankew Lord for the weather todae.. You din make it rain on us despite the threat of the overcast sky! You even make it breezier and less sunny! ; )

hhmm.. now on a group conv wif angie, nat, matt, yuki and grace.. talking crap, but loving it.. ; )

cts and kbox!

2007-03-23T00:21:00.000+08:00

yay!! finally ended cts.. hahax.. Thank you Lord, for being wif me all this time.. :) but muz say.. this whole period damn super horrid.. and i noe the results wun be good too.. neh felt worse.. oh well.. it's over larx.. :)

i dinnoe i can stone so much while studying.. and i realize the importance of frenz too.. they can reali make u feel better when u're down... (thanx guyz!)

oohx.. and i came up wif sth while studying too.. if u wan ur son to be smart.. start his name wif 'B'.. (tink benji.. he's DAMN smart.. solved the 'n and m' qn..) if u wan ur daughter to be smart.. start her name wif 'A'.. (tink angie.. she's DAMN smart too.. knew what k/c was without mi telling her..) and if u wan ur child to be a mixture of both (though mite have a lesser degree of them), start the name wif a 'C' (aft me!) :P

oh.. and muz learn to count the no of times nat asks, "huh? wad u all talking about?" cuz that little gal can be wif us, but not 'wif' our convo.. she's cute. :P

lolx.. and while studying too.. was mentally listing out a few movies i wana watch aft cts end.. budden todae, when cts finally ended.. we din watch any movie.. cuz we figured out that if we were gona watch a movie.. it'd be watching for the sake of watching.. oh.. the 'we' consists of mi, cake, nat, grace, jiayi, timo and matt... so... we went cine for lunch.. den went KBOX (except matt din join)! gosh.. that trip realli rawk.. first time the no of eng songs i sung higher than chinese.. usually it's the other way round.. lolx.. initially we were warming up.. come the last half hr.. we were like SUPER hyper.. cant reali rmb the song that got us hyper-ed up.. but knew that was the 'itsy bitsy tinny winny' tingy and 'everybody'.. we were practically shouting larx.. the best song was 'pump it'.. it went sth like 'PUMP IT! ...LOUDER!.... turn up the radio.. blast ur stereo.. right.. (in caps cuz we were.. er.. shouting??)' that was the most memorable phrase.. hahax.. and u shd hear how timo screams the 'louder'.. damn nice.. hahax.. yapx...

talking to cake and nat in a group convo now, with an 'imaginary' grace.. hello guyz! :)

2007-03-08T19:27:00.000+08:00

todae in summary

2007-01-24T21:21:00.000+08:00

had mock chem spa todae.. and i dinnoe it was 'mock' until lesson started and the tcher announced it.. My classmates who came to the lab earlier said the tcher juz told them.. but i stil had a glimmer of hope it wouldn't be, cuz based on calculations, mock spa shd be next wk.. it was super screwed up larx.. hahax.. most of us were not prepared.. bt we had a fun time laughing bout it rite aft pract and during break..

had a principal's talk too.. made mi wana put my empty plates into those dustbin-like containers at the other end of canteen aft my every meal.. haben tried it yet though.. maybe tmr?? if that feeling hasn't worn off.. hahaz.. it also brought up the feeling of wanting eagerly to offer my space in the lift to any person who needs it more than i do too.. not that i dun do dat.. but i haben got the chance too.. oh ya.. idol gets funnier by the day.. hahax.. cuz she was telling mi bout how she brought her scgs 'habits' over to rj and stuff.. and.. i tink my *orange guy likes __(to be inserted nx time aft cake tells mi wads his name.. i forgot! :X)... they kept staring at each other!! (although it was mi and cake's doing) :P

oh.. met my neighbour two days in a row.. so qiao.. one was on the way home ytd.. the other was at j8 todae.. lolx.. and my sis, who was wif mi todae, even asked mi who he was.. took quite a while to guess though..

i'm zzz-py!! but wanted to come online for awhile larx.. visited a few blogs to waste time while waiting for the sms wif the other orange guy's name.. one needed a password (argh!) one got update wif two new entries(whieez..) another one had one new one..most were stagnant... ;(

*my orange guy is this cuddly tingy on mi bag

suay monday

2007-01-22T17:43:00.000+08:00

todae must have been my most 'defiant' day?? it started wif a game of 'cai1 quan2' wif timo and idol aft maths tut.. i lost one of the games, so i was like 'bloody ass!'.. vulgarity was unintended.. cuz it's just my alternative way of saying 'sharks!' or 'crap!'.. well.. my ct-cum-maths tcher was cleaning the white board aft her lesson when she heard mi larx.. and so that triggered everything else, which i dun wish to elaborate.. but wana thank some of mi classmates for being reali nice.. ;) and mi sis, benji and james for hearing mi 'complain'.. hahax.. i was feeling quite horrid larx.. the image kept playing tru my mind the whole day too.. but felt beta aft talking to u guyz.. rote her an apology note aft the incident, which i felt cld have been written better if i had calmed down.. cuz when i was on mi way home earlier, i did some reflecting.. and ya.. guess i was in the rong too larx.. but well.. those two words are a habit of mine since sec sch?? i say it at home too.. though my parents got tell mi sternly not to say it.. but cant help it larx.. haz.. and the way i stood was usually how i'd stand- weight leaning on one leg, while the other is slightly bent.. not an intended rudeness! :X

sigh.. it's gona be so awkward seeing her at flag-raising now... and my first period tmr is civics.. :X

the wk in summary

2007-01-13T12:55:00.000+08:00

hhmm.. this wk had alot of frenz' bdae.. tue was qian's and simon's.. wed was jiahui's and jia yi's..thur was ruth's and aaron's.. fri was guiyi's.. todae is christopher's.. maybe about 18 years ago.. this was an auspicious wk?? hahax.. the wk's been quite smooth.. and ytd was reali fun! cuz aft end sch.. wanted stay in sch do some work larx.. cake, grace, nat chang and kelly stayed back too (i'm thankful for our homeroom!).. but kelly left early.. we did abit of work.. before talking became the main 'work'.. the four of us talked bout lotsa stuff larx.. shan't list them, cuz it's our lil talk.. hahax.. bt we shared lotsa stuff, and laughed at all the silly ones.. one of our teachers got a nice lil note from us too! geez.. i wan more of these...... oohx.. and benji made mi reaLLi curious.. i stil am. ;)

goodie mood

2007-01-07T10:32:00.000+08:00

yay! was in a very good mood ytd.. intitially was kinda pissed when i realized that all 3 juz left home aft i reached our meeting place.. cuz before dat went hospital to see ryan-remy.. den cut short the visit so wouldn't be too late.. but wellz... u cant stay angry wif them for long larx.. u juz cant.. they're too nice a bunch of ppl.. hahax.. datz wad i love bout my slackerz.. they wld do silly/sweet tings to cheer u up.. pris offered her $2 mph voucher, xuan made (lotsa) silly comments, and ling bought mi this huge biscuit, which managed to get eaten finished wif the others' help...

went to catch 'Night at the Musuem'.. it's a definite MUST-WATCH! can't rmb the last time i laughed so many times at a movie.. wanted watch some horror shows (i.e. spirit of the victims).. but that's definitely not on the to-do list at slackers' outing.. cuz more than half wldn't watch.. pris also gave up her "Last Dance" to watch NatM, and xuan and ling also 'sacrificed'.. they watched the show again even though they've watched it before.. reali appreciate that larx.. cuz if nt we wldn't be able to watch any shows.. the timings were either too late, or we wld get first-row seating.. so yapx.. thanx guyz!! ;)

aft dat played this state-of-the art shooting game wif ling, while xuan and pris sat together wif us on this long chair.. it's this new machine at suntec's arcade. u're like shooting from the car, so the machine resembled that of a car, only there's more privacy larx.. cuz there are black curtains at the sides where u enter.. and the screen is huge.. there's also a surround system.. but ppl can see u playing from the back, where there's a transparent window.. it costs 2 bucks per person though.. but it was reaLLi fun.. go try! oohx.. mi and ling got 66% compatibility.. em.. that game's supposed to be some couple tingy larx..

was in a hyper mood aft dat.. mi and ling were talking bout dat day at the boonlay countdown, while xuan (half-dead) and pris (3/4-dead) were behind.. but canot blame pris larx.. she was OGLing this whole wk.. so i'm thankful that she stil came..

waited for bout half-an-hr for bro to pick mi up.. guess i under-estimated his 'abit long'.. hahax.. but i'm glad he stil came.. he went to send liwei home oso i tink.. i cldn't wait to get home larx.. cuz helper juz came back! lolx.. i juz hugged her, and started breaking down le.. guess i dinnoe how much i actually missd her..

hhmm.. on a separate note.. hope all's well for ting.. whatever u decide.. we'll alwaex be behind u yeah?? ;)

christmas + boonlay countdown

2007-01-01T10:22:00.000+08:00

the ly gang (qian, peu, mapok, jia + her sis) came for mi hse's christmas party.. reali pei4 fu2 them larx.. onli called and asked them on the day itself (cuz the party was onli finalized then too), and at first mapok said she cldn't make it, cuz needa go grandma's hse, and jia mite not be able to too.. but alll came in the end larx.. ^.^ we were quite dumb larx.. forgot to take pics until all left except peu and qian.. then (tink) peu was zi4 lian2-ing.. before we rmb bout the cam.. so the pic onli got the 3 of us..

qian, mi, peu ;)

the streeters performed for boonlay's countdown ytd.. our perf was just aft taufik's! but my cam was wif a fren larx, so cldn't take any pic.. ;(

doing last min additions to our tops.. xinzi and junt were our pro-sewers..

aft rehearsal and some last min practs.. most were deadbeat larx..

ruth, emme, junt, xinzi, farhan, mi, clarice.. all dressed up and ready to go!

lucky the event was organised by the rj ppl in boonlay youth club.. so while we were getting ready, we had helped from some of them while they were wif us (yilun, xiang and uh-oh) to do our make-up and hair.. the streeters helped each other out oso larx.. that's wad i like bout street.. that sharing spirit.. like when we needed accessories/make-up, ppl wld bring their own, share wif others and help each other out..

the crowd wasn't reali 'high', but there were many rj ppl who came to help out wif the concert were.. so cld hear them cheering and shouting larx.. and we're grateful for that.. ;)

actually got take photos of the perf onez.. but somehow cant upload it.. tried many times le.. so.. i'm givng up.. hahax..

aft perf.. all smiles.. ;)

geez... saw clarice's and emme's families coming 'backstage' to support.. and it made mi wish mine was there too.. apparently boon lay was too far, and there were also gona be road blocks.. there was supposed to be a countdown party at mi hse, but it was cancelled.. and tweet also said that ytd was boring.. ling missed my perf oso.. she and her class (in which there were 4 of mi chungcheng frenz) were there to help wif the goodie bags for cip.. but there were some problems so she cldn't make it on time.. ;( but i was reali glad to see them larx.. thanx to cake and ting for ur sms too (although i onli read it aft the perf.. oops) ! but nevertheless, thanks! and of cuz, thanks to my fellow performers for ur time/effort/ hardwork.... ;)

FRED's return

2006-12-23T13:30:00.000+08:00

yay!! yang han came back from aust for a short visit. (he's unofficially given a Christian name, 'fred', by mi and cake as he accidentally spelt 'fren' as 'fred' once).. so to welcome him back, mi and cake decided to get him welcome gifts that had to do wif 'fred' (after some amendments).. the motivational poster was about some 'friends' tingy larx.. and the chocs was 'freddo'.. both were altered to spell 'fred'.. ;)

there! the poster and the choc, plus the marker we used to destroy both tings wif.. ;P

The poster (without those in brackets, except the 3rd point's first bracket) shd read:
My Fred is someone
-who chants scriptures (he chanted them super funnily in AJ's drama fest)
-who deprived ppl of places in AJ and RJ (same as mi and cake, who were/are in those two schs.. but yang han later left mahx...)
-who treats ppl to food he likes (we think. sushi + dim sum?) (he treated mi and cake to a sushi buffet at sakae before he left, and paid half of the dim sum lunch.. he wld have paid everyting if mi and cake din 'bargain')
-who has stingy freds who gave him boxes as a farewell gift
-who gave stingy freds voodoo dolls in return
-who just got this (the poster) + chocs (Fredd0, wif the 'do' cancelled) + the marker we used to 'decorate' :)

the amount of dim sum yanghan ordered (at Crystal Jade).. got some more at the sides hidden by the cam.. and there were onli 3 of us.. lolx.. it amounded to more than $6o!

spotted kym ng and bryan wong filming on our way out..

posing lamely in front of 7-eleven.. pointed to the word 'singapore's' to show that we're in s'pore..?? :X

wad yanghan gave.. the 'sock-idea' was cute larx! but if wana wear that sock, must alternate wif cake.. cuz she got the other pair.. :P

what was inside the sock.. CUTE rite!!!! ;)))

yay!

2006-12-20T22:26:00.000+08:00

yay.. i'm in a good mood now.. cuz..
1) meeting FRED (yang han) and cake tmr.. he goin back aust soon, so it's cool to meet up before he flies off.. initially thot wouldn't have the chance, cuz my schedule abit packed larx.. then the times i'm free clash wif cake's busy ones.. ;( but lucky ruth's letting mi go late for street tmr.. so yay! can spend more time wif them! got a concert wif mi god-family tmr too!
2) got a GPA.. unexpected.
3) received a christmas card, wif a letter, from mapok, when i was too busy/ lazy to send out any this yr.. it's a pop up some more!
4) ate a choc crossiant earlier, and eating one for breakfast tmr..
5) had a sleepover ytd.. the memories' still fresh.. (see prev prev post)
6) cuz liwei juz bought us a log cake, and when i bluffed that it tasted like strawberry, he believed and got that 'huh?!" expression.. cuz it's meant to be choc and pear flavour i tink.. this actually isn't reali one of the reasons of my good mood, bt cuz i'm in a good mood, everyting's good.. ;)

geez.. i tink i have erratic mood swings too, so i cant blame u.. hhmm.. i'll try to be more understanding next time kayz.. but canot give in too much.. cuz i'm still older.. wahahahx.. be nice to mi too! ;P

2006-12-20T12:23:00.000+08:00

damn.. u're reali THE limit. no wait, u're beYond the limit. u even have problems with mi going out to have lunch wif my parents.

mum (to her): "she (me) needs to eat, my dear gal."
she (turning to me): "you can stay home eat right! go and study la! so free stil can go out eat..! go and do housework lar! u NEVER do any housework lor!"
well, i'm sorry u're like super free aft ur Os, and are nice enough to help out wif the housework (yes, we noe u contribute a lot, and we shd all be indebted to you..) and i'm sorry too, that when i'm doing housework, u're not there to witnesss, as u're busy out shopping as usual.

(cont.) so after a string of words,
me: "can you show me some basic respect as ur older sister?!"
she: "more like YOU show mi some respect right! why shd i respect u when u don't deserve any?!" so.. i reason that respect is based on whether or not u do housework, and if the speaker is lucky enough to witness it.

sigh. okay. i give up. u'd better do some self-check, or as dad say, it'd "destroy you one day".

sleepover at ting's hse

2006-12-20T11:22:00.000+08:00

yay! my dad rawkz! slackers rawkz! initially dad din allow mi stay over, den ytd when about to leave ting's hse, the rest were like asking mi call him again to ask.. hesitated, den called larx.. the first response was a 'no', but he later relented.. ^.^ yay.. so stayed over wif xuan, pris, jo and ling (in order of appearance).. ting is one REALLI good host.. she made mi dinner, den made mi and xuan some snacks (we were the earliest).. i watched two VCDs too!! (the herbie one, and scary movie 1) the second movie took quite long to decide, cuz that's when everyone came le, so had to find one that everyone didn't mind watching.. wanted horror shows, but pris, xuan and ling (?) dowan.. ;( aft dat, started lazing around, washing up, while jo started chasing xuan to help her put manicure.. bt ling and ting became her willing 'victims'.. :P den decided to retreat to the room to talk while lying on bed.. we all squeezed into one room, which was initially meant for 4 ppl, but the beds were joined together, and it's not often there's gatherings like this, so all of us wanted to snuggle together larx.. tink i talked the most bahx, and xuan hiT the most.. hahax.. muz be her hand 'chou1 jing1', keep hitting mi wif her pillow.. haiz.. xuan juz neh grow up.. :P i wanted to hear ghost stories onez, and there were two uniform groups ppl in our midst, pris (guides) and xuan (npcc), but those two weren't tell.. so i give in, wanted to tell.. budden they weren't let mi.. ;( gradually, somehow, drifted into lala land.. (yes, pris' land)

ling and jo left by the time the rest of us (except ting) officially woke up.. haiyox, neh say bye bye..geez.. reali wish can have more of these.. sleepovers would be cool.. there was one rj og sleepover at bennett's hse, but din have time to even go larx.. den got a section sleepover coming up, bt dun tink wil have time for dat too.. ;( at least got a bn bbq coming soon.. ;)

2006-12-13T15:31:00.000+08:00

i know i'm not supposed to be riting about you..i tried blogging mentally, but that onli spured mi to switch the comp on again, juz to blog. the limit came when i was just lying on my bed juz now, a few min ago, wanting to rest before tonight's pract, and you said this, word-for-word, "you forgot to off the access point, stupid.." wads ur problem? bt i chose to remain silent.

earlier today, u woke mi up by stepping on my bed, saying "hurry up la!", and went to use the toilet.. i went in later too, while u were brushing, to get ready my clothes for later. feeling the urge to cough, i went outside the toilet, for fear that i might spread to you.. oOo, and you just had to shut the toilet door to make your point really clear.

but i muz be thankful. you taught me patience, no, i mean tolerence. and you showed me just how rude one can get. becuz of you, sometimes i wished i was an introvert, that i'd learn to keep things to myself too, but not to the extent of ignoring someone, when that someone is obviously talking to you. at least a polite glance??

hopefully u'll grow to be more sensitive soon (well, i'm also learning..), and we can become like how cake is wif alysee.. of cuz, u have your good points too, like when u were baking recently at your fren's house, making chocs and pineapple tarts, you made a diff type of choc for me. "specially for you", you said. i was greatly touched. but i din have the pleasure of eating them, as i fell sick the next day.. i was quite touched too, when that night, you made mi a hot cup of chrysanthemun.. ;)

so, sarcasm aside, i muz reali be thankful. for you made me treasure all these 'little actions' of yours greater.

saddistic

2006-12-13T14:57:00.000+08:00

yes.. i realize i'm saddistic, but in a nice way, so i'm nicely saddistic. yesterdae juz concluded the weekly series of "ai4 yao4 zhe3 me4 shuo1", but i think 'ming2 xing1 te4 pai4 yuan2' is still on-going. those are the two shows i look forward to seeing each week, although not so much the latter. it's nice to see the galz feeling touched and start crying. that's why i'm saddistic. but, i'm different. cuz sometimes, if it's touching enough, i'll tear wif them. LOL. that's why, it's in a 'nice way'. ;)

she's leaving tmr.. argh.. juz as u were counting the days to go there, i'll be counting the days you come back.

sick.. again.

2006-12-11T00:08:00.000+08:00

gosh.. my nose's irritating.. it either keeps rUnnInG, or stops becomes it's bLoCkeD.. argh.. plus there's the cough, and the alwaex-looming threat that i'm gona lose my voice.... noooooo.... ;( argh.. guess i'm juz suay.. was only juz sick last mth, now sick again.. muz quickly recover.. cuz christmas coming! ;)

geez.. i tink i've developed a habit of 'blogging mentally', whatever my mood may be.. if it's some negative feeling (eg sad, angry...) i'd feel better aft dat.. a way of management?? at times, i wish there was a comp nearby, so i can juz type whatever that comes into my head, but dad once said that blogging's 'evil', cuz for example, you could be lashing out at someone, at that someone happens to read it.. backstabbing would be better then.. at least it isn't 'direct', and the hurt won't be so great. but if it's positive, i wish then that i could keep it in black and white, cuz duno why, good memories tend to slip away, fast, but bad ones would linger longer...

hhmm.. muz go recuperate le..

cockcroach craze

2006-12-07T21:15:00.000+08:00

*DISCLAIMER: my house is not dirty.. it's just that the cockroaches are homeless, and happened to breed in my outside-kitchen's cupboard, a place where we store unwanted pots and pans, and some food (the main cockroachs' attraction)

yapx.. i juz killed 4 cockroaches, and saw the death of another one.. oh.. killed a lizard too... (all wif mi helper's help of opening the outside-kitchen-cupboard while i sprayed and sprayed and sprayed...) there was mounting tension initially, cuz after mi helper killed the first one, we heard noises in the cupboard, so i was like banging and using this long stick to take out the stuff that were inside the cupboard. toopid cockroaches. a lot of food was thrown away because they left their footprints (not to be taken literally) inside. oops.. mi helper juz gave mi an updated list.. we killed 10 cockcroaches in the cupboard.. there were 6 hidden ones.. hurray to helper for cleaning up while i sneaked off to blog.. ;)

BAYGON rawkz. but it'd be better if they invented a more effective one, cuz then, i wouldn't have to waste so much of it on one cockroach. or maybe... it's my fear that they weren't die, and would start crawling/flying around, and hence, the continuous blast of insecticides. it'd be good if insecticides had some perfume smell too, or had some kind of smell that would be healthy for us when we smell, but bad en0ugh to kill the insects..

went to visit mi coachy today wif siblings and parents.. he was the one who taught and groomed mi siblings and mi into swimmers when we were younger. i've stopped since lower sec, so i reali suck now. reali. but goin for leisure swimming tmr wif family, cuz we bought swimming stuff from mi coachy.. the old ones have either already been outgrown, or are lost somewhere in the lalang. lolx.. my coachy reali rawkz.. cuz he charged us reali cheap for those stuff.. bt even if he din, he stil rawkz.. miss his lessons! mi parents left mi siblings and i to chat wif him, figuring we wouold have a lot of catching up to do.. lolx.. the last time i saw him was like 5 years ago..?! he neh change much, except that his moustach (which he swears he will never cut off) got some whites in it.. other than that.. he's still our FAV coachy...! ;)

cip

2006-12-07T20:51:00.000+08:00

yapx.. first time did flag day on wed.. and it was realli fun.. tried two methods:
1) door-to-door
2) ask along the street
and muz say, the 2nd method's better.. went to this block of flats (aft mi and cake got lost, cuz we initially wanted go science centre onez, bt overshot larx) that we felt was better to ask than the first flat we saw (had mostly elderly ppl living there, so we din wana ask them donate larx, thot they quite pitiful le).. cake took the odd-no floors, i took the even ones.. and the result: onli 6 ppl (on my side) donated.. some were generous, gave 2 bucks.. some a few cents.. but the fact that they actually donated was very encouraging le.. we then took at bus to the nearert shopping centre, and yay! 'business' peaked up! learnt one very impt lesson when asking for donations: muz keep smiling and appear cheerful, even if tired, cuz den, chances of ppl donating wld be higher.. here were some memorable incidents...

me: Hi, would you like to donate? (my fav/shortened speech when i'm tired)
man: donate to who?
me: (excitedly)boys' town!
man: but u all are girls lehx...

me: Hi, would you like to donate to boys' town? (my longer/ alternate speech)
man: (in chinese) i'm unemployed and u still ask mi to donate... (and goes on for a short while about not having enuf money or sth like dat.. well, bt he stil was nice and stil donated larx)

to some, the flag-day sticker costs $2.. to some, it costs $0.33, cuz they'd donate 10 cents (or other amounts), but take 3 stickers (two for children, one for the adult or 3 for friends)

one guy pro.. after i asked for donation wif my fav speech, he approaches, hand in the going-to-donate manner, and PrEtEnDs to drop a coin. geez.. can just imagine how deprived of entertainment he is.

another guy sees me approaching, and purposely walks aWaY from mi.. and if that wasn't enough, the sky (to him) suddenly seemed reaLLi interesting, and his ears were suddenly blocked. lolx.. at least just politely decline larx, like i'd stalk u and force u to donate.. -.-

well, but singaporeans are generally generous and nice.. or they'd smile and politely decline. this cip taught mi another lesson: to donate. which was what i did on my way home larx.. cuz i realized how important one's gesture of donating (even if 10 cents) is to the tin-bearer.. it reali encourages. ;)

happie bdae bloggie!!!!

2006-11-21T22:21:00.000+08:00

bio trip

2006-11-20T21:12:00.000+08:00

went to sentosa todae for a bio field trip (seashore sampling or sth like dat).. it's gona be day 2 tmr.. basically, todae's job is to collect pics of "any living creature you encounter and find out their correct identity tru guidebooks and websites"..

on our way to sentosa.. manori (peeping), nat, dharsh and mi

aft a few hours....

there was this group that managed to catch a seahorse..!! (but of course released it aft photos were taken).. heard it was gona die or sth, so it was easy catching it.. :X

my group caught this crab (credits to the teacher in charge of my group, mr nah).. it's roughly the size of ur palm..caught a few smaller ones too.. must have chanced upon the area which had some of the crabs' hideout or sth.. we even saw one part of the shore that was littered wif snails.. cool eh?? ;)

quite proud of myself.. cuz i caught some 'baby shrimps' (this isn't the scientific name, but i cant rmb the real one) that's similar to the one in the pic.. u turn the rocks over and u'll see them (but muz turn back later larx).. i even held a small crab in my hand, such that my hand like form a cage, (but dun squeez!) so u can feel the crab 'tickling' u wif its little legs when it's moving.. spotted a dead crab too.. :X heard mr loo say that the crab is usually swimming or sth.. also caught sea anemone and snails and hermit crabs and small fishes.. of cuz, all were released back larx..

one of the fishes we caught! it's supposed to be nicer, but my digi cam wun allow it.. oh wellz..

the scenery's supposed to be nice.. at least that's how it looked like in actual view......

played 'polar bear' too.. and sorta shouted myself hoarse while explaining.. having super bad sore throat now.. ;( but it was fun! ;)

At esplanade, there was this mass display of wire manikins.. and the 6 of us started laming (although xuan needed persuasion) by imitating the displays..

starting the whole lameness was mi and pris! see the 'statues' at the back that we were imitating?? ;)

ting.. looks pro ritex.. she's taekwando one kayz! although i dun reali noe how its related to her posing.. hahax.. but she reali looks pro....

and that's all for the manikin-poses... for more details.. visit the esplanade urself.. :)

sick ;(

2006-11-12T16:23:00.000+08:00

yapx.. was super sick yesterdae.. had the worst sore throat i eva had.. felt like there was this big lump in my throat.. and it made swallowing saliva very painful.. (sore throats never felt this bad before..) woke up many times during the night because of it.. had to forego a dance concert too.. cuz felt feverish and weak, plus had cough.. broke a few personal records though..
1) stayed in bed for about 18 hours (only to get up to go toilet).. even ate my only meal in the bed too.. too weak larx.. :X
2) did not talk for the whole of yesterday (well.. almost) communicated through my handphone.. would type wad i wanted to say on it, and let the person read..
3) ate onli one meal.. din feel hungry larx.. which is surprising, considering the fact that my stomach would start growling even in the first lecture (when there was sch) though i would have already taken breakfast... was lying in bed, and waiting for my stomach to force mi to get up and find sth to eat.. well.. it neh did.. love my helper! she was kind enuf to make chestnut drink, and brought it to mi room together wif mi dinner larx..
4) drank lotsa different types of drink.. helper made mi a chestnut drink.. parents bought mi this other drink.. and mum made mi another type of drink.. when drank all of them together.. it felt abit weird in my tummy at first though.. but it became okie after a while larx..
5) read 1.5 books..cldn't zzz last night (cuz zzz too long alreadi mahx) so went to read "Charlotte's Web".. wanted to read dat cuz its movie was coming out soon... saw some snippets of it when mi and nat and cake went to watch "flushed away".. aft reading.. went on to "Singapore's True Ghost Stories" written by Russel Lee and his team of ghostwriters.. lolx.. like trying to scare myself.. but his stories weren't that scary larx.. or maybe din reach any scary part.. cuz onli read halfway when i felt tired (again) hahax..

yapx.. broke 5 personal records! ; )

2006-10-25T16:04:00.000+08:00

was reading this newspaper article todae.. sth about this non-profitable group trying to encourgae dads to be more involved in their children's education.. and dat 13 schs (pri, sec and special needs) have signed up.. it's sth like the sch promising to put in efforts to get fathers to send their kids to sch at least once in the first wk of sch.. cuz den, the child can feel the importance of his education (that even his dad takes time off), and his father's involvement (or sth like dat) :X

dat made mi tink of this yr, when i realized i entered rj. i cried. not becuz i was glad, but becuz i was afraid. afraid of the pressures and stress i wld get, afraid of the new ppl i wld meet (since the bulk were already from the raffles family, and being a 2nd intaker makes it harder to break into social circles), afraid of the new journey i wld be travelling (what if i missed the stop, or got off the rong one?) it did not help that my parents were overseas during that period, so there was no one to guide mi to school.. i'm very dependent on my dad to teach mi the best way to travel, to tell mi where i shd alight, what buses i shd take. yet, he wasn't there.

i met my young uncle online on the day the postings came out, and when i told him the sch i got into, he was super happie for mi, and even absent-mindedly called up my parents who were overseas (in London, which means they were sleeping when he called).. my dad called my hp to congratulate, yet i broke down again when i talked to him, which probably added to his bundle of worries. bt he persuaded my young uncle to send mi to sch during the first wk, when he wld not be around. still, my return journey was uncertain. When i entered aj for the first 3 mths, mi mum drove mi in the car, and followed the bus route, telling mi where i shd alight and stuff.. bt for rj.. she cldn't do the same, since she was not here. bt i needed to try to find my way there and back, in case.. Learn to be independent, girl.

my dad was worried bout how i was feeling, and so, despite his busy schedule, he took time out to go to this blog to find out how i was coping wif school, from what i heard, though he tinks dat blogging's nt good, alwaex warning mi bout the dangers of blogging..

he finally came back.. and it was this act of his i found quite touching.. i woke up late one weekend, and learnt from mi helper dat in the same morning, mi dad cycled on this old, small bicycle of ours to try to find a 'short cut' route to the 2nd bus stop, so i needn't have to change bus and waste (waiting) time.. From what i heard, he cycled quite far, and that bicycle seat isn't comfy for long dist, plus the wheels aren't in their best conditions either.. he sourced for the alternative route in the morning, when it was bright, and hOt. Sadly, the trip was futile.

currently, he sends mi and sis to our 2nd bus stop in the mornings, despite him having to wake up earlier (when he cld sleep longer as he reali deserves his rest/sleep), despite it meaning his sleep wld be interrupted. recently, he offered to take on lessons that were in the mornings, so dat he cld send us straight to sch too, allowing us to sleep longer, while he loses his.. this was all the more tiring for him, since mine sch's in bishan, while sis' is in the east...

thank you, dad.

we went for dinner later somewhere at the ground level of esplanade.. tink onli two of the whole streeters din turn up larx.. but it was still great that most came.. oohx.. and i met junkai too! he's an aj senior that's about my height.. lolx.. hahax..

mixture of stuff...

2006-10-03T22:00:00.000+08:00

yapx.. had pract todae.. den during pract.. xin1 xie3 lai2 cao2.. so asked if anione wana watched 'john tucker muz die'.. lolx.. actually this was a movie i wanted to watch since before promos larx, when it was still at the advertising stage.. den last time at sch library oso took this postcard advertising it.. lolx.. it was also on this postcard where cake rote to tel mi to stop daydreaming.. and where matt rote that 'mugging was bad' or sth.. niwaex.. lucky got a few (sherlyn, liyue and wan qing) haben watched yet oso.. so impromptu street outing lorx.. hahax.. yesterdae heard grace and (i tink) guiyi talking bout it too.. dat its good for an after-promos sort of tingy cuz no need use brain.. juz sit down and enjoy can le.. well.. there were a few comical parts oso.. hahax.. go watch! ;)

oohx.. den after dat went to suntec alone to get mum's belated pressie larx.. the rest went home cuz quite late le.. but stil went, cuz i sorta made a promise to myself dat mum's pressie wld be one of the first tings i do after promos, cuz had no time buy it during the promos period larx, so felt quite bad.. bought her this royce choc dat had a mixture of potato chips and walnuts.. cuz she like potato chips and royce choc, so its a combi of both.. ;) bt if i had bought the one dat was plain potato chips wif choc coated at one side, was afraid it can be kept for long, cuz the chips wld turn soft, as proven by what i tasted.. sour (from the chips) and sweetness (from the choc) din sound like a good combi to mi.. but the one i bote cldn't taste the chips taste larx.. its nice overall.. hahax.. but i super dumb larx.. aft i went home den realized forgot buy gran's belated pressie.. argh.. hate myself.. ;( their bdaes one day apart during promos period.. bleahx.. gran alwaex very good to mi onez.. so getting her sth for her bdae is juz a small sign of appreciation larx.. ;( neh mind.. i'll go shopping again tmr.. ;)

oohx.. den maybe can buy mi sis a little encouragement tingy for her upcoming Os.. was tinking of a voodoo mini for health one.. cuz bought her a voodoo mini for studies the other time when she din do quite well for her chinese Os (wanted cheer her up).. so yapx.. tink i'll get her the voodoo mini for health, cuz she's slightly sick.. plus the two voodoos can have each other as company.. hahax.. n.. tink wil get her a stress-reliever too.. those dat can be bought at action city, and the tingy either shakes its head or nods its head slowly when u put it under the light.. yapx..

lolx.. thot bout wad to buy for mum and sis when studying for promos.. somehow during that 'attempting-to-study' period.. ur mind tends to wander.. and u'll tink of any other stuff except ur notes.. so i cld be like stoning for quite awhile before realizing i haben even read (not to say absorb) a word.. but the strange ting is.. when u reali wana tink of sth (like wad to get for gran) the inspiration isn't there.. ;( neh mind.. i sorta have a few tings in mind.. but nth as certain as what i got for mum, and what i'll be gettin for sis.. bleahx.. hopefully i can spot sth that i like, and that she'll like too.. ;)

church outreach

2006-09-16T21:33:00.000+08:00

went for a church outreach todae.. invited by pris, and went together wif shuhan and xuan.. below is a song composed by daryl yap, a member of the church (zion bp), which i found super touching.. the lyrics larx.. ;)

When i was just a boy you'd take me over to an empty parting lot near home
And hold me firmly n the bike i pedaled, and ran with me wherever i roamed
But then one day you felt that i was ready, and said you had to let go
"No, daddy please, cuz if you release, i tink i'll fall, i juz dont know"
And as u wished mi luck and gently freed mi, i weaved and swerved and i fell down
And as i questioned why you had to leave me, u slowly life mi off the ground:

(chorus)
And said "Keep on pedaling, if u think u're gona fall
just keep those handles facing the horizon through it all
Cuz i'll e letting u ride for awhile, like a father learning how to let go of his child
cuz up mountain peaks, u uz want ridges u can cross
but i mite lead u up the river, cuzsome ridges get u lose
i know u wun understand when u dont see the end
but its sth that i've gota do-
revealing its purpose in the lesson u're goin tru"

Well i've learnt i'vealways had another Father, when my daddy told me who God means
And i figured He was good becuz when i got older, i fell in love with the girl of my dreams
but i found not all romances end the same way, sometimes the princess breaks his heart
no love-tale laughter, no happily ever fter, my fantasy just falls apart
at these times i wish i never had emotions, wish my existence disappears
how do You expect me to focus on You, when my eyes are brimmed wif tears?

Yet you say (repeat chorus)

no matter where each lesson ends
God is making way
cuz someday when i'm daddy and teaching my son, i will say"

(chorus)
Revealing...Revealing...
Reavling my love in the struggles that u're going tru"

this song was part of daryl's speech.. in that when we were young, our parents told us not to touch (eg) electrical wires, but the young us wouldn't know.. only when we grow up and look back do we then realize that its for our own good. similarly, if we go tru terrible times, and cant figure out why we're experiencing what we're experiencing.. perhaps next time, if we go to heaven, we can look back and understand.. that they happened for a reason..

sorriex alvin..

2006-09-16T21:29:00.000+08:00

hahax.. cant tink of 15 + 5 (fake) tings now larx.. mite/would do so next time?? hahax.. but thanx for spreading it to mi.. ;)
