Journey to the Depths of My Heart

Hello!

2012-01-30T23:29:00.003+08:00

Yes yes I've been MIA-ing for years!

My painful ankle is back again :(

It's been 18 months since I've last stretched, and now, when I used to touch my head to my knees, I cannot touch my toes. :( I miss gym so much. I longed for the adrenaline, the feeling of doing something you know you're good at, the art of body form, and the feel of flying and independence. If there was any single passion in my entire life, it'd be gym. And it was gym that got me where I am today. Heh. :)

Oh yeah, you know Marley & Me is so true?? Like if you want to raise children but ain't so sure you can, then you should try having a puppy first. Just two months ago, I got a cute, black 4-month-old mongrel puppy! Yay! Of course she (yes it's a she) can't compare to Snow Ball, but she certainly is growing on me and the family. :) Anyway, as I was saying, taking care of the puppy is like a 24/7 job. And you gotta be responsible, give her plentiful attention and make sure to feed her. She's such a dear and it really lifts up your day when she jumps up at you so enthusiastically just as you come back home. :):):)

After all these years, I still can get addicted to korean/taiwan/jap dramas. Sigh... And Facebook Sims Social is totally killing me!

ARGH FINAL FANTASY XIII-2 IS OUT AND I'M HAVING SCHOOL!!! COULDN'T THEY RELEASE IT DURING THE TWO MONTHS HOLIDAY LAST YEAR??? IT'S JUST ONE MONTH EARLIER FOR PITY'S SAKE!!!

Can't wait can't wait can't wait to play it!!! :):):)

Tracy Chapman's Fast Car keeps running in my head. What a great song. Especially the cover done by Boyce Avenue and Kina Grannis. :)

Okay I gotta get back to studying now! Ciao! :)

FINAL FANTASY XIII-2 IS COMING OUT NEXT MONTH!!! :D:D:D

2011-12-13T22:30:00.002+08:00

Omg omg omg I seriously can't WAIT!!! :) Too bad school will have started by then... Sigh. So now I'm replaying FFXIII now. Into the 23rd hour of the game alr hehe. So I'm 1/3 of the way there yay!

So I got a new doggie/puppy now. Her name (yes it's a HER) is Charcoal. Hehe you've guessed it! She's black. :) But with white paws and a white goatee. :) A mongrel. And you know as they say - mongrels are the smartest dogs. Hee! In less than two weeks, she knows how to sit, give her paw, lie down, stay and is (sorta) toilet-trained. :) Next thing I'll teach her is to roll over. Haha. It's totally like Marley & Me. Raising a puppy is definitely a good stepping stone to raising a kid. Hate-love relationship. :) and poor Spencers is totally ignored now. :(

Until now, I don't know which is better; planning for treasure hunts - or treasure-hunting.

I really need a book.

So much to do, so little time.

Must must must drink water even though it's so tasteless!!!

You are born and you die alone

2011-10-30T01:00:00.001+08:00

I've always known about that, but I never truly felt that loneliness til just now.

Treacherous Steps Here and There

2011-05-09T20:16:00.002+08:00

HELLOOO BELOVED BLOGGIE!!! :):):)

Man I've missed blogging hehe... And the feeling of being home alone without a care in the world... :) OH I CAN'T WAIT TO WATCH PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN 4, HARRY POTTER, THE HOBBIT...!!!

Now I've gotta a choice to make. I need it to get made fast. But I'm scared of making it. Yep. Scared that I'm wrong. I can't tell the future. So what if I'm turning away from a road that could allow me to grow and surpass my potential and all that I've ever dreamed of? Or am I just saving myself from a life I'd come to waste and hate? Haha sounds really dramatic here but yeah that's how I feel at the mo'.

Actually I think I know what I'm gonna choose in the end. But there're so many doubts hanging over, that I'm afraid to make that choice irrevocable. We'll just have to wait and see... :)

Oh noooo my piano is just lying in the room collecting dust! Haven't been playing it in a really long while! Okie dokie, gonna play it after this. :)

Centre, clarity, peace, serenity... Wow I love that phrasing. haha.

And it's back to over 45 kg again. Ouch. Dieting time re-start!

Lady Boss and Lady Luck go hand in hand :D

2011-04-27T21:48:00.002+08:00

It's funny how sometimes you get what you want the most even though you go in this really roundabout way of chasing after it. :)

The suspense and anticipation is just killing me.

Maybe I'll tell you the decision made after 11 May - the ultimate DEADLINE. Gasps.

I soooo don't wanna work anymore... 3 months is enough right? Right...? Okay fine it's not. Let's hold on until June baby...

Haha Mom says I needn't work anymore. But I bet once I stopped working she'll complain that I don't work. Haha.

I have never heard of Pentax before. Have you?

Tips for Ominous Law Interviews :)

2011-04-16T16:35:00.007+08:00

Hey guys, it's been a pretty long while since I've last updated. About 2 months, in fact. This blog's dead - almost. :/ Haha nvm. So... I'm in the midst of my 8-month holiday. Yep. Hehe. Spent one month in the US. One month slacking. And the last two and a half months working. I'm planning to work until June. After that, I'll probably catch up on sleep, with friends and family. Been neglecting all three.:(

It's been especially hectic for the past few weeks, what with all the university applications and interviews for scholarships and courses. It has also been quite an experience. I'll now share some tips about not embarrassing yourself during interviews. I can only talk about law interviews as those are the only ones I've been to so far. It's just basicaly what I've gathered and summarized from family, friends, the Internet, and my personal experience. I hope that this would help some young, desperate souls roaming the Internet and who happen to come across my blog. Fat chance, I know. Haha. Okay, let's get on with it.:)

Before the interview, try chatting with fellow interviewees sitting next to you. They are equally as nervous as you are. You could start with a smile and just ask about their school and what they are there for. Make friends. Not only would it calm you down, it'd also make you more confident. And confidence naturally transcends to a wonderful ease in talking.

Things to watch out for during the interview

BODY POSTURE (Formal wear is a must. For guys - do not overdress, please don't wear a tie)
Don't turn your back on your interviewers when closing the door. If you have to, close the door behind you with your hands pushing behind.
Put your hands on the table all the time. It creates a more authoritative presence. Makes you look more professional too.
Back straight. That's a no-brainer.

YOUR FORM
Make sure you know whatever you've written on your form and that whatever you've written makes sense and is flawless such that you are able to elaborate further on it.
If you write interesting things like you being born in Indonesia, they will ask you about your country and may put it in relation to law so be prepared.

TYPES OF QUESTIONS
They will look for things to question in your form.
Scenario-based questions - give you a scenario and ask for you to comment.
Current affairs

Things interviewers watch out for

CONFIDENCE
They want to see if you are able to carry yourself well and speak fluently and concisely

ABILITY TO THINK ON YOUR FEET
They want to test if you are able to think on your feet. So when they ask you for your opinion, you may hesitate a few seconds - but no longer than 5 - and please please answer fully and with elaboration. Make sure your arguments have no loopholes because for sure, they will find those loopholes and trap you within them even as you try to crap your way out of them. Or maybe we're not supposed to emerge winners of the argument anyway because they are the lawyers, and not you (wannabe lawyer).

INTEREST IN CURRENT AFFAIRS
They will ask if you've been reading the newspapers. Do answer truthfully if you have not. Because they will find out the truth sooner or later as they quiz you. Better to be a clueless person than a liar. Don't assume you can lie your way out cuz you have to think twice about tricking lawyers - not a wise thing. Oh and don't make the lame excuse of being too busy with work - what I did. They don't think it's a valid excuse at all.

Tips
Act like you're enjoying the interview and love to argue with them.
Don't be obnoxious and do affirm now and then that you accept their point of view and that they may be right.
They love it when you say you beg to differ from their opinion. To them, it means you can think with your own head and not be swayed by others.
Don't be round-winded. Go directly to your point. Better to have those awkward silences than presenting a long-winded case and then realizing halfway that you've forgotten the point you were trying to make.

Current Affairs
Important to know your ministers in Singapore. And at least the top-level ministers in Malaysia. Knowledge of Japan, China and the USA wouldn't hurt too.
Make sure you know the Dean of the university.
Japan's March 11 earthquake + tsunami. China's recent snarky accusations against Japan for keeping scale of nuclear radiation exposure under wraps until a month after damage.
General Elections - 24 new faces. Ms Tin Pei Ling, 27, youngest in ten years. PAP's aim for this election as compared to previous in 2006 and 2001 (which was to find experienced people to "hit the ground running") is to look for potential office holders - fourth generation and fifth generation leaders to take over in the future.
Libya (it's in Africa beside Egypt NOT the Middle East!) - something about the people trying to overthrow the dictator
Please read the newspapers on the day itself so you can impress them with 'hot-off-the-press' news.

Samples of Law Interview Questions
Ice-breaker: What is your favorite TV show?
What was the most important geo-political event in the last 50 years?
Do you feel that the government of Libya is transparent?
Is the role of the new media necessarily a devil to the government? Especially in the case of the Libya crisis?
Present an argument for/against the new youngest PAP candidate Ms Tin Pei Ling.
Is it considered theft if customers take away 20 satchets of sugar in a hotel cafe?
If not, what about customers taking wine?
Just because people do it, does that mean there is no law against it?
Should there be a law against it?
If no, then can the police be involved in it? Since this is a personal matter between the customer and the shop keeper?
Do you read the newspapers?
Tell me about a current affair.
Who is the Minister of Education?
Who is the Prime Minister of Malaysia?
Do you have any questions?

Do be prepared for other types of questions like why you wish to read law in that specfic university an not others. Also, be prepared to explain why you wish to study a second degree (if you applied for it) and how it is related to Law. Also, do read up a bit on law and state your interest in specific areas - to impress your interviewers by your research. Below are some links that may help to answer these questions.

That's about all I have to say on this matter. If you have any other queries or wish to know how I answered my questions, you're welcome to tag:)

Do get a good night's sleep the day before. The interview will take about 10-15 minutes. They may be running late on schedule so you may have to wait nervously for 15 minutes. And that's already excluding the 15 minutes when you have to arrive earlier. Just go for the interview for the fun and experience of it. You'll learn loads of things from the professors. Just as they are trying to learn as much from you to gauge your competency for the course. Two-way learning process aye? :) And do expect the professors to be sharp, assertive and very updated on current affairs. But they are also friendly and nice people.

Alright peeps. Good luck for your interview!:D

We're Marching On...

2011-02-28T00:28:00.003+08:00

That song by Timbaland featuring One Republic is seriously sooo good! I have it on replay. And it's stuck in my head. Haha.

I'm 18 and it's the best time of my life now! You know what people say about those things we see in dramas? That they're all stupid and fake and unrealistic? Well some of those wonderful things actually happen in real life! hahaha.

Yeah. Okay. Time to go. :)

Money can't buy everything. Cuz memories are priceless. :)

301 posts! :D

2011-01-07T11:52:00.002+08:00

I just wish people would stop telling me things I already know.

Anyway! Haha. I sound like a frog now. Croak croak.

I have learnt that small cuts do not leave scars behind. But infected cuts sure do. haha.

Eww... my hands are drying up here. :(

Stars are pretty... But it's sure cold out. :/ It's been a long time since I last wore shorts and short-sleeved shirts. Wonder if it'll feel weird when I do so again. Hmm.

I wonder... if the best thing to do to avoid tensions and arguments.. is compliance and letting people push you around. Even if you don't believe it. Will that make the world a better, happier place? I dunno man...

Okay, that is seriously emo stuff! Think of happier things! :D I WANNA WATCH TRON!!! AHHH!!! Phew. And showering in cold water in this cold weather... isn't that bad actually. It's a miserable experience, but not an unbearable one. :) Ah... the fragrance of shampoo in my hair is a long-missed one! Yay! Alright, that's vain. Stop it!

Action becomes habit. Habit becomes thought. Thought becomes character. Character becomes life. Life becomes destiny.

I like big dogs. Have I said that already? Oh and not the racing dogs. They're too narrow for me. haha. I like round fluffy ones. :) Great to cuddle!

I am considering getting goldfishes. :D

I need an accurate weighing scale man. Then I can divert my time spent blaming the lousy weighing scales for their erroneous readings and do a workout regime or something to that effect. haha.

I am contemplating how to hoist my big, heavy luggage bag down a narrow spiral staircase and a steep flight of stairs... Muscles I call for your assistance! What? Don't have?! Then make some!

OK I know I'm sounding crazy. Oh man, time moves on and I'm getting old.. Groan...

Whispers... dreams, intuition... oops. Time for me to write a letter of gratitude. See ya some time soon beloved blog! :)

It's the new year! :D

2011-01-02T13:00:00.002+08:00

My blog's dying. How sad... :(

If I'm not wrong, it's my first time spending Christmas and New Year away from my family. :/ But it's time to grow up right? I can't be Peter Pan forever! But I think I can love this song forever. Haha. First heard it on my brother's mp3. And became hooked like a fish on the fishing line. I just love songs with piano accompaniment. Maybe that's why I idolize Jay Chou so much! :D

I think... I like the heat. Like it doesn't feel real if I don't sweat. Yeah I know this sounds gross but this' what I grew up with. And if I have my way about it, it'll stay that way. :)

Now that school's out, I've been growing my nails long! Yahoo for rebellion! WHOO! :D I haven't cut them for a little over a month now. And because I'd filed them just before prom, they're growing really nicely right now. :) Though... they do get in the way. Like typing on the keyboard. Keep slipping all over the place! And then dealing with contact lens - yes I do wear them. I'm totally blind without lens or spectacles. And when washing the dishes, sometimes I'd accidentally scraped my nails on the dishes, then I'd get the cold shivers. Really dislike the feeling. Ugh!

I've realized that I'm a dog-lover. Well animal-lover. But you can't be both cat and dog-lovers. You gotta choose one yeah? So I love dogs more than cats. Sorry cats. But it's your fault for scratching me 4 times! And those times I was just trying to cuddle and pat you! Hmph! Besides, you can play with dogs. Cats don't know how to play at all. Like you can't play-fight with them. Who wants a cat-fight anyway? And they only chase after strings that you dangle and the silly game gets pretty boring after awhile. And I haven't heard of cats doing tricks. Like sitting or playing dead. They're just pretty stuck up feline animals. And proud ones too. Okay, just joking to the cat-lovers out there. Don't send me hate mail. :)

One resolution of the new year 2011? To grow my hair until it reaches the waist line. Yay! The last time I had that was when I was like 7 years old. I still remember the day when I went to the hair salon to cut it. My school only allowed short hair for girls then. How stupid right? I suppose they had their reasons although I can't fathom what kinds. But then now the rule's changed. Anyway, right before the lady cut - she was holding the scissors poised right next to my hair - my brother was like say bye bye to your long hair! in this smirking tone. Well not really smirking. But apparently he found the whole matter amusing. I was just kinda sad. And from then on, I never really had the chance to grow it back again. It was either my mom insisted that I cut my hair short, or that I grew so impatient waiting for it to grow long that I snapped it off myself. Haha.

Yay I bought myself this really nice dress from Strawberry! :) I like it very much. heh. That was after Aly told me to wear more dresses. :D So I'm listening to her. Hee!

Anyway, I can't wait to get back and play Final Fantasy XII on my brother's PSP! Was playing halfway last time. Yep. :) I know it's a really old game. And I never got the chance to play it. :/ It's a good game. Haha. And I just love the Advent Children movie. Graphic's soooo good! Plus I just love those kinds of plots where you don't understand anything in the beginning and then bit by bit, as the story moves on, you'll understand. haha. It's so captivating. And a good way to capture the audience's attention.

So I'm sitting here at the foot of the bed. You see, I'm trying to warm the place where my feet will be later when I sleep. They're always cold at night :( So I'm seeing if this technique will work in keeping my feet cosy and warm! :)

Now I get why travelers carry keepsakes with them. Over here, whenever I listen to songs on my mp4, it brings me back. It feels like I'm home :) And sometimes, when I'm quite tired and start to dream a bit, I really do believe like I'm home! Then, I open my eyes.

I'm caught in between.

2010-12-01T22:29:00.000+08:00

Sam Tsui rocks. Haha.

long long hiatus!

2010-10-01T18:03:00.002+08:00

HI HI I'M BACK OLD BELOVED BLOG! :D:D:D Been kinda busy doing this and that... haha. So so so, I've got some cool quotes I heard and thought I'd share them here. They're too good to be forgotten. Hehe.

I hope you are not pulled down to hell by gleeful demons. I hope you get pulled up to celestial heights and ace your GP paper.

Undoubtedly, you already have been a grave disappointment for most of your academic career.

Maybe I just drew the short straw... but from the scripts I'd marked...

You should know something about something instead of nothing about anything!

egregious errors in your scrips...

You should exercise self-discipline linguistically.

"less successful scripts" - euphemism for people who fail.

Ignorance, incompetence, and indifference characterize your cohort.

You're not eligible to go to any university to study any subject in the medium of English if you can't even write a simple, grammatically correct sentence.

After reading your scripts, I am flummoxed.

messy balls of ink everywhere... how arty farty...

Haha, hope you had a good laugh.:) I love the poetry of the words and the delivery, even if their intent was to reprimand. Haha. Alright gotta get back to work. Hope I'll be back soon. :)

I think she's the coolest character ever.

2010-07-03T13:11:00.003+08:00

I CAN'T BELIEVE I HAVEN'T DISCOVERED STAR TREK UNTIL NOW

2010-06-07T18:56:00.002+08:00

Yep, you've realized it by now. I just watched a star trek movie - the latest one - and have totally fallen in love with it. Although not enough to watch the rest of the entire series. hehe. Gosh. I never really liked a movie this much since LOTR and the Matrix man... Nice. Well here are some really cool quotes:
"No Vulcan has ever declined admission to this academy!"
"Then as I am half-Human, your record remains untarnished."

"Hey, farmboy - maybe you can't count, but there are four of us and only one of you!"
"So get some more guys, and then it'll be an even fight."

"I don't need a doctor, damn it! I am a doctor!"

"Well, I hate to break this to you, but Starfleet operates in space."
"Yeah, well, I got nowhere else to go - the ex-wife took the whole damn planet in the divorce. All I got left is my bones."

"Ensign authorization code Nine-Five-Wictor-Wictor-Two."
"Authorization not recognized."
"Ay... ensign authorization code Nine-Five... Victor... Victor-Two."

"Kirk, I'm promoting you to first officer."
"What?"
"Captain? Please, I apologize, the complexity of Human pranks escapes me."
"It's not a prank, Spock. And I'm not the captain... you are."

"So what kind of combat training do you have?"
"Fencing."

"Once you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth."

"If crew morale is better served by my roaming the halls weeping, I will gladly defer to your medical expertise."
(Spock walks away as Sarek comes onto the bridge)
"Green blooded hobgoblin!"

I told him that I could not only beam a grapefruit from one planet to the adjacent planet in the same system - which is easy, by the way – I could do it with a life form. So, I tested it out on Admiral Archer's prized beagle."
"Hey, I know that dog. What happened to it?"
"I'll tell you when it reappears... Ahem. I don't know, I do feel guilty about that..."

"I'm sor...what..are you from the future?"
"Yeah, he is - I'm not."
"Well that's brilliant! Do they still have sandwiches there?"

"Pike made him first officer."
"You gotta be kidding me!"
"Thanks for the support."

"I foresee a complication - the design of this ship is far more advanced than I had anticipated..."
"Voiceprint and face recognition analysis enabled. Welcome back, Ambassador Spock."
(Sarcastically)"Wow, that's weird..."

"Your species is even weaker than I expected - you can't even speak!...What?"
"I got your gun!"

"I would rather suffer the end of Romulus a thousand times. I would rather die in agony, than accept assistance from you."
"You got it. Arm phasers. Fire everything we've got."

"Father?"
"I am not our father."

Yep. haha. People who have not watched Star Trek won't really get the humor/meaning behind these lines. Haha. but they're so cool. I recommend everyone who has not watched to go watch!!! You shan't regret it! :D:D:D

"Do you always have to stare at me like I just drowned your goldfish?"

2010-05-28T14:55:00.002+08:00

I love these kinds of cool/funny quotes. You'll find them in any RPG game. So I was just looking through Kingdom hearts wiki and here's what I found. I'm sooo gonna use them on somebody one day. MUAHA. Hmm, you won't understand the significance/irony/humor in some of the quotes until you play the entire series of Kingdom Hearts itself. Or you can be like me and read all the spoilers in wikipedia. haha.

"With pleasure, but I'd rather travel light. What shall I leave behind? Belle...or the rose?"
"I'm creating a brand new world, one heart at a time."
"You accept darkness, yet choose to live in the light. So why is it that you loathe us who teeter on the edge of nothing? We who were turned away by both light and dark - never given a choice?"
"Your insincerity is comforting."
"The memory’s wiles can be cruel. In its silence, we forget. In its obsession, it binds our hearts."
"If I had a heart, this would be where I die of laughter."
"Think I'll pass. My heart just wouldn't be in it, you know? Haven't got one."
"To lose and claim anew, or to claim anew only to lose..."
"I don't need a weapon! My friends are my power!"
"The darkness may destroy my body, but it can't touch my heart."
"That's not true! The heart may be weak, and sometimes it may even give in. But I've learned that deep down, there's a light that never goes out."
"Well, there is one advantage to being me...Something you could never imitate. Having you for a friend."

Just a tad little bit confused...

2010-05-14T21:35:00.002+08:00

Hi dear old blog! It's been awhile... Not that I've been busy, but I just didn't feel like posting. Yup. So I was reading my first few posts which were written EONS ago. Haha. And I realized that back then, I'd vowed to post interesting/humorous stuff in my life. Instead of just complaints and grumblings. "Complainers ain't winners..." haha. SOO... That means I've gone a long way off from my original intentions. Oh dear. Best to rectify that as soon as possible!

So here's what I'm gonna do. For all you depressed, frustrated, lonely people out there, I'll talk about stuff that makes you

a) smile your teeth out
b) snort like a pig
c) laugh your lungs out
d) all of the above and at the same time :D

Most strangely, humorously embarassing events haven't been happening to me that often. ok it's either that or it's due to my convoluted, all-rounder (literally), forgetful genius-of-a-brain that I forget them. But there's one thing I recall. Not sure if I've talked about this before but heck, I'm gonna post it again. :)

If you think you're a loser, then hey! - look at me, man. Haha. I think this happened to me sometime last year. You see, in my school, the male and female restrooms are just opposite to the other. I was strolling absent-mindedly towards the restroom and just one midstep before I step inside (yes, you've guess it), I looked up and realized it was the male restroom. YES I'M FEMALE BY THE WAY. Haha. So I was like CRAP. Then attempted to cover it up by turning 180 degrees and moving not-so-coolly towards the water filter. BUT HEY. Turned out, there were guys behind me. And as they walked past while I gulp water I heard them say "EH, I think she almost went to the guy's toilet." Talk about social suicide... I could just imagine the upcoming school's magazine headlines "peep-tom-who-wasn't-male caught in the act." Ha. Epic.

Anyway, people don't walk dogs. Dogs walk THEM. Ain't that an irony? Speaking of dogs, I met my ex-love the other day. Greeted me with such great enthusiasm. But didn't follow me around like he used to. Sigh. To bribe him, I took him downstairs to enjoy the greenery and fresh air. 15 minutes later we came up panting. Good exercise! Okie that was random. haha.

Yay we've got gym outing in June! And it's totally free! Whee...! :D:D:D

I recalled a thoughtful conversation I had with a tall (175cm), female classmate a few years back. Here's roughly how it went:

Friend: Argh! I don't like my height!
Me: Why...?
Friend: Cuz I'm too tall. I wanna be shorter...
Me: But you're so lucky to be tall! Would you rather be my height (156cm)?
Friend: ... (shakes head)
We both laughed.

So what's the moral of the story? Even if you've got the shorter (or in this case, longer) end of the stick, take stock of your situation from another perspective and you'll realize someone else from the oppostie spectrum has got it just as bad (or worse) than you have. Heh.

Absence/distance makes the heart grow fonder... I miss my dad.

I've finished Final Fantasy XIII. Took me 70 hours. Yes, let me retype that. SEVENTY HOURS. Haha. I was dragging it a bit towards the end cuz I didn't want it to end too soon. Greatest ps3 game ever! Just the right mix of action, adventure and romance. Oh and with a lot of moral advice and cool taglines with it as well. And it is the only game ever that I played after it was finished. Meaning after I defeated the final boss and completed the story, I went back to play minor missions. Ugh. Gotta get over this...

Hmm. Guess I gotta go. :/ I've got a test tomorrow, and I need a crystal-clear mind if I wanna finish as much as I can. Alright, good night ya'll! :D

1) It's infuriating. Like on the bus, I'll think of so many things I wanna blog about. Then when I finally get to my blog, I forget what I wanted to write about. And it's not all these boring stuff I usually post about. They're usually entertaining and very funny. Oh well...

2) I'm addicted. In fact, I've relapsed. :( It happened on Sunday... My grasp on my will slipped, and I sat down to play Assassin Creed II. I'm feeling pretty much guilt-ridden right now. Cuz I'm hooked and can't stop thinking about it. The temptation's there every time I get back home from school. Well, actually I think I've been doing rather good. I mean, the PS3 game has been there ever since summer last year. And I've managed to resist until now? Like wow. I think there's a fighter in me, don't ya think? Besides, it ain't my fault. I mean, is it my fault that my bro bought the game and set it in such an easy-to-see spot in front of the tv? And should I be blamed for him tempting me by playing it every time he's home and asking me why I haven't attempted it yet? C'mon. A girl's gotta have a life, right? Okay, I'm not saying playing video games is any form of a social life. But it's a hell of a lot more than a life mugging your ass off in books. In fact, why should I be feeling guilty now? It's my human right to play games, isn't it? Am I not allowed to have the time for relaxation? But of course... I'm spending way too much time playing... Hee.

3) I realized I haven't had a best friend for years now. Like a true best one. Cuz all my close friends are either taken up or inconveniently separated from me. God, I miss Eui Jung. So much. Oh and I haven't forgotten you too, Vicky! :D Oh and dear old Chia-Wei. And Yi Ling! Yep Yee Ting, you too! Ping Hong, my childhood best friend. :D Ahh... The good old days...

4) Comp's coming up next month. Gotta get ready. It's my last chance. And then I'm not ever jumping again in my entire life. Probably. Which is sad. See, that's the setback for joining gymnastics as a CCA. You only can do it when you're young. By the time you reach your 20s, you're most probably too old/stiff/weak to jump as half as high as you used to, albeit you can't even jump safely. Anyway, I've gotta change my mindset. Don't care about the people looking on. Jump as usual on the big day. Don't even think the word 'failure'. Easy to say. Overly tough to act on. I seriously don't know what to hope for on that day. Hopefully, it'll end as a good one. No matter what, I'll train and do my best. :)

5) Why is it that people tend to recall more of the bad events than good ones? Like I can never recall what humorous things I wanted to post. And that's not just me stating a hypothesis. I've read this on the newspapers as well. Hmm...

BETRAYAL

2009-12-30T19:19:00.002+08:00

LOVE and then... BETRAYAL

That's right. I've experienced it. And let me tell you, it HURTS like hell. So what's this all about?

It happened about 3 weeks ago. When he came to live with us for a couple of weeks. It was love at first sight. Nah. Not really. Haha. We met a few times before. So it wasn't a new face for me or him. So I came home one day and found him greeting me at the door with much enthusiasm.

He tagged along after me everywhere I went. We would take walks every morning and I would watch him eat and drink. Really, he was such a darling. He only had eyes for me. I grew so attached to him. So much so that I thought of him every single minute I was out of the house. And somehow... I knew it was dangerous. I knew this blissful happiness wouldn't - couldn't - last forever. But I kept pushing it to the back of my mind. I didn't want to think of it. But you can't stop time ticking away.

Then she came. His ex, you could say. At first, he didn't even recognize her - let alone see her. Knowing the unevitable had come to pass, I walked with him right up to her. One second, he was still staring at me with blind devotion - the next, he was all hers. He ran to meet her embrace. I just stood like a spectator at the side. The scene happening in front of me... was painful to watch. We then took the lift together. He was still hugging her. But he kept turning his head around to give me the guilty looks.

As if they said: She's my real owner. The owner to my soul. I'm sorry.

Thereafter, it was like I never existed in his world. He stucked to her like a dust ball. Every now and then (too rare it seems) he would come over to where I was a give me a hesitant lick. He knew I was pissed off. He knew I was jealous. But he also knew where his true loyalties lie. With her. And I felt betrayed. I thought 2 weeks should have been enough to at least gain a PERMANENT bond. 2 weeks don't sound much, but if you spend as much time together as we had, it would have meant something. Right?

I never should have trusted him. My heart hurts. It hurts as if it had been smashed to a thousand piece, glued clumsily together, and then smashed again. And it still does now. But did I cry? No. I will not cry over this. Not over a stupid dog.

HERO

2009-12-19T18:31:00.002+08:00

HERO

1) He's come here to stay for a couple of weeks or so. Somehow, I'm his new master. Not my brothers. Not my parents. And I have no idea why. Was kinda flattering at first, with him following me around everywhere, whining everytime I go to the bathroom, and insisting on sleeping with me every night. But now it's getting real annoying cuz I keep having to beware of not tripping over him whenever I go anywhere. Oh yeah, and I've gotta walk him too. Like about twice a day. And let me tell you, picking up dog poo is no fun thing. It stinks. Not eating any meal immediately before is a serious precaution you might consider undertaking if you wanna keep what's inside your stomach down there. But I love him. I seriously do. Well, maybe just cuz he reminds me of Snow Ball. They were both Japanese Spitzs. It's been six years since I parted from Snow Ball. And I still miss him like hell. I guess I better prepare for another heartbreak when Hero's owner comes back.
2) A funny incident occured yesterday. I went out with Charmaine. So we were walking about looking for "nice" clothes. Then somehow I was lagging behind. Then being blur, she reached out an arm to sling it around the shoulders of the person next to her. Which turned out to be a complete stranger. And that woman gave her this blank "are you kidding me" look. Aghast, Charmaine hurriedly mumbled an apology and snatched her arm back from the shark's jaws, rushing to hide her face behind my back. HAHAHAHA. We burst into laughter after that. The woman just stared at us as we walked away. Haha. And I thought embarassing stuffs only happen to me. Heehee!
3) Despite my protests and wise advice, she paid a whooping 55 bucks for just a trim. And guess what. She agreed that I was right after all when it was all over. It took one hour just for them to wash and blow dry her hair. Alright, perhaps her long hair does call for a longer time than mine to wash, but not that long! And then it took another hour for the guy to trim her hair. No, I'm not exaggerating. It was about 5.45pm when we started, and 7.45pm when we ended. My butt hurt a lot. Seriously. And the deceptively comfy sofa was actually a ticking time bomb for a completely devastating neck, shoulder and backache. And I totally liked her hair better from before rather than after the haircut. I was glaring at the guy who trimmed her hair. It was like he took several tries just to get a swath of hair he wanted to work on, and then snipped at it. Then he gathered another swath of hair and corrected the mistake he made, because of the snip he made in another part of the head before which made a dent in the straight cut. This repeated several dozen times. Which occupied the better of one solid hour. I was bored to death. But anyway, amidst her profused attempts at a heartfelt and sincere apology later, I told her that at least I got to watch a two-hour long movie like I wanted after all - that of watching her hair being cut. Hehe...

Okay. It's about 9.30pm. I'm going to sleep two hours, wake up by 11.30pm and get to the Padang by 1am. I should get back home by 4pm the next day. No, you have not read wrong. No, I have not been drinking. Haha.

It's called volunteer work. I've signed up as drink station crew for the Standard Chartered Marathorn. So will be having a fun time from 1am until 3pm the next day. :D I'll be doing this with lao da. So it should be great fun! Yay!

pluto

2009-11-30T18:38:00.002+08:00

Workshop MEETUP:D

1) Today was real great fun! :D
2) Had training from 9 to 12 plus. Stared Alyssa down for TWENTY minutes until she finally did the back somer into the sponge-pit. Wang Jiao Lian noticed my wounds (at long last) and called me BEN DAN. haha. Back hurts from not training for about 3 weeks.
3) Went out with the sheeps and aly for lunch. We ate roti prata! Whoohoo! I had cheese egg, cheese with mushroom and paper prata! Yum! And I think I scared the guys cuz I ate more than them haha. Then I still helped to finish his rice for him. lol. but that's cuz I didn't eat breakfast and was extremely ravenous.
4) Then I felt bored after that so I managed to persuade them to go play pool! Yahoo! First we played girls against boys. That's like 2 versus 3, mind you. And guess what. Haha. The girls won! lol! then we played 2 games of individual style. yep. That was fun too. :)
5) Um after that we went home. Yay yam cake taught me how to get home by 157! haha! Turned out, I can take 163 too as well! hahahaha.
6) Okay, today was rather fun. Though I got bored explaining how I got my wounds to like 3 people again and again. Kinda tiring. And to think I went through that for the last two courses I attended... haha. lol. That reminds me: Aly actually took photographs of my wounds on her Iphone! lol. Gross. And then she said it looked like coco crunch!!! HAHA. funny. Okay
7) Need to eat dinner now. :) Yep. Good night people:D Oh and I've watched finished Fringe Season 1. Am starting on Season 2 now. :D:D:D

FRINGE

2009-11-20T12:10:00.003+08:00

FRINGE.

That's the series that Lao Da got me to watch. And as she said, it's super good! Gruesome. But just the right amount to keep you captivated. Action-packed. Suspense-filled. Lots of drama. Nice combination. :) Two thumbs up from me! haha.

Okay, mom got me grounded for the rest of this week. I ain't allowed to go out until Monday. :(

HIGHLIGHT OF THE DAY

2009-11-14T00:05:00.004+08:00

A Highlight of the Day

They installed new ropes at the gym for physical training. So I tried it with Lao Da after training. Haha, so I climbed it. My first time climbing a rope. Yohoo! And you know the gym is like 2 plus stories high. So while I was climbing midway I looked down. Woah! Shouldn't have done that. Haha, the ground was freaking far away. Reached the top. Then was panicking on how to get down. Haha. Cuz I was nearly out of strength. Wanted to just let go and fall into the sponge pit. But looking down again made me lose my nerve. Haha so I just climbed/slid down before finally letting go and falling into the pit. Then while I was in the pit, something caught my eye and I looked down. WOAH. my right foot and leg had these really bad abrasions. And they weren't just normal abrasions, they were those really big, really UGLY-LOOKING abrasions. I was shocked. Not because it looked ugly or whatever. But because I didn't even feel the pain! Now why was is like that?

Haha, so my friends noticed, were shocked too, mentioned something about "rope-burn" then took me to see Mr Lim. Haha, he exclaimed when he saw it. So did the other coaches. Haha, then immediately knew where I got them from. Said just to let go and fall next time. Then was adding some ointment/liquid thingy. I remember hearing him saying something like it will hurt. My first thought after he put some drops of the liquid onto one of my wounds was: Huh? But my wounds weren't hurting at first already, what do you mean they will hurt? Second thought which occured a second later was: You don't mean its the liquid right...? Oh-oh...

Then BAM! Pain slammed into me. Haha ok that was exaggerated. Anyway, I was screaming. Okay not screaming. Uh shouting? hmm nope. I was shrieking, for want of a better word. Haha. Turned out, the liquid was alcohol. Haha, and they were all lauging at my pain. SADISTIC people. Hmph. Mr Lim kept saying to blow on it. But I was kinda in too much pain to listen to what he said? haha. Then he said to let him apply to the other wound. I was like NOOOOOO and covering the other wound with my hands. Haha. He just laughed and insisted on it. I relented in the end. Haha. So went through another episode of all the shrieking and moaning. This time, I still couldn't draw breath between my shrieks to blow on the alcohol, so lao da helped me. HAHA. And then Sianglin was just standing at the side laughing and saying how this was all so funny. lol. Now that I'm in infinitely less pain and am looking back at this, I'm also laughing. Kinda funny actually. It's so comical, as if this sort of thing doesn't happen in real life. Haha.

Anyway, moral of the lesson is: When climbing ropes, don't slide down. You will get rope-burns. Haha. Anyway, lao da and Sianglin asked me why I didn't know better. I said it was my first time climbing. Haha cuz in their previous schools, they used to climb ropes for physical training. So they knew not to slide down. Haha.

Aww man. The abrasions are going to affect my trainings. And I can't wear shoes. And lao da swears I'm limping but I'm not! There's going to be this workshop on monday and tuesday. Sigh, hope I can participate in the activities without them causing me pain. :(

Haha, but I still think it's cool. I always wanted to have big wounds like these. They make me look rugged and tough. haha! Though it's a bit gross at times. Cuz white liquid (I think it's blood platelets and plasma? Ugh forgot all my o level biology content already) keeps oozing out. So the wounds look bright and shiny. Haha. Kinda cool to draw. Okay sorry I like to think of this from an artist's point of view.

Alright. It's 11.30pm. LATE. Gotta go sleep. Night:D Man, today was such a fun day. training. then that crazy episode. then went to lao da's house to watch she's the man which was a really great show. then went to eat dinner with mom and bro at some really nice and homely seafood restaurant. What more can I ask for? :D:D:D Good night!

Just stab me

2009-11-12T18:28:00.003+08:00

Just stab me

1) Haha. Joan and I found out how to activate the fake call. She used to think it was a prank caller. lol.
2) Books. I love them. And I've jumped right back into them now I've gotten the time! Yay! :D
3) Get me a Japanese Spitz puppy, somebody please.
4) I want them back! Like since 2 years ago? You better do something about it!
5) OUCH.

With Great Happiness Comes Great Despair

2009-10-26T22:41:00.002+08:00

There is no give or take. It's give AND take.

1) Finally changed this blog skin after an eternity. Hope you like it.
2) This year is like... I don't know what to say. Haha. It's YAY, but it's a BOO as well.
3) Okay. Dad's back. Um. My Grandma's birthday yesterday. The cake was big. Had 77 candles on it. And chinese words I couldn't read. Tasted great though...
4) Hm, should I work again this year? I don't think I should cuz I gotta study. But my workplace friends are expecting me, I think. Haha. I really miss them. :)
5) My Dad got the originals with all the uncut scenes for LOTR. It's uber super duper cool. I've watched them for the upteenth time already, and am still as in love with the series as the first time I set eyes on them.
6) I like holes.
7) Lizard on the stove. So what I've read in books are true. When you're dead you dehydrate. When you dehydrate, your eyeballs start sinking into their sockets. I took a photograph as a keepsake. There's beauty even in death. GRUESOME beauty. And strange.
8) What should I do for Dad's birthday? I've run out of ideas. I do every time. HAHA.
9) It's almost eleven and I've yet to start on a chinese essay due tomorrow morning by 7.50am. Killjoy.
10) St. Ives. My favorite shampoo brand in the world. And my bro took it.

The Call for Awakening

2009-09-06T11:23:00.004+08:00

"Villains!" I shrieked. "Dissemble no more! I admit the deed! Here, here-!" I ripped apart the planks, revealing the mess of contents that lay beneath. A piercing inhumane shriek erupted into the still night, welling up to a slow, rhythmic pulsing beat. "-It is the beating of his hideous heart!"

Then I ran, for each footstep I took drowned out the beating of that repulsive heart. How clever I was, I thought. To think that the guards called me a madman and yelled after me. They were taken in by delirium over the beating of that revolting heart. Why would they say that I am mad? Why would you say that I am mad? Why would anyone say that I am mad! To hell with you fools! When death overtakes you and the world is swept clean of your nonsense, I will walk the Earth alone, basking in my triumph in outwitting those who fail to see the truth - that I, alone, am the sane one here; And that the others are blinded by their own greed and folly.

My flight took me across desolated farms and stagnant lakes to a place unknown to me. Bushes and willow trees lined the path. But I did not panic, for the guards were nowhere to be seen. I walked around, becoming more and more tranquil like the silent leaves rustling serenely in the slight breeze. There was not a soul to be seen in this abnormally warm early morning. But did you think that I would take things as they seemed to be? Just notice how sensible, how intelligent, how tactful I was, not to alert anyone who might be watching me, unseen. But I did not laugh; It was critical to restrain this temptation. Now that the Eye was eliminated - ah, skillfully by myself - you would think that I would let my guard down - but no! Faintly - oh, so faintly - I could hear muffled footsteps, creeping ever closer...

This is an adaptation of a text I found in my folder. Haha, I think I must have written it a few years back, and then forgot to finish it. Haha, maybe if I have the time, I'll finish this. Anyway, the September holidays are here! Whoohoo!!! They were long in coming, in my opinion. Haha. Shall make full effective use of it. Though I probably won't. Haha.

Anyway, made a surprising revelation yesterday. Remember my family just bought this new LED and Blu-ray? Well, there was a slight problem with the sound, so we called in the repairman. He was really nice. He fixed everything up super nice for us. Then he took a look at our sound system and was shocked. He said this sort of sound system is too powerful to be used just for home entertainment. Then he asked when we bought it. My bro said it was quite old and that we bought it about seven years back. The man was even more shocked. He said a sound system like this would be selling for at least three or four thousand dollars now. Haha, so here's the catch: Imagine how much it was worth seven years back. So my revelation for this? No wonder Dad was so proud of this new addition to the household when he first bought it and even constructed a cinema room, complete with carpeted floor and sound-proofed walls just for it. Back to the present: So when the repairman fixed up the sound system to the TV and everything, woah you could tell the difference of the sound! It's really clear and just like those in the cinemas. The bad side to it? The floor and walls started shaking. Haha.

Anyway, good news! Yay! My bro bought a PS3! Yahoo!!! He bought the new, slimmer and quieter version that just came out on Tuesday. So now, we've got PS1, PS2, PS3 as well as PSP. Haha my brothers are just hardcore game addicts. They seriously are the kind of customers those game stores are after. Then he bought those games that are not particularly to my liking. But for mom and me, he specially bought Little BIG Planet. Haha. It's this super duper cute game. Played for a couple of hours yesterday. It's fun! Haha, but after awhile, I got too caught up in guilt to continue playing. Haha.

Darn it, that Charmaine was supposed to come over to play today. Said she would call me as soon as she woke up. It's already past noon and she still hasn't called... Bet she's still stuck in limbo between Dreamland and the real world.

Yay, can't wait to watch Jay Chou's movie The Green Hornet! Haha, Stephen Chow was supposed to direct and act in it, but he pulled out to do another movie with Jack Black. Hmm. Then there's the movie with Rain entitled Ninja Assassin. It's M18 though, and my bro is gloating over the fact that he can watch it and I can't. Hmph.

Okay, better go do a bit of homework right now. :D Sayonara!

Yay Teacher's Day!

2009-08-27T22:16:00.002+08:00

1) Had a really lousy day at school. But when I got home and saw Harry Potter's face, I cheered right up. haha. Then slept all the way till 9.30pm. Couldn't sleep at all though. Haha that sounded contradicting! Anyway, feel a tiny bit better now. I guess a hungry "man" makes an angry "man." haha.
2) Don't know why but my left arm has been aching. Like in the really deep bone-penetrating kind of way. Hmm. I think it may have been from rushing to pull all the mats back into place after gym classes...
3) Everyone says CIP. Why?
4) I've been a bad bad girl! For the first time, I didn't finish bio tutorial before a lesson! Luckily, the teacher didn't go through the parts I didn't do... phew!
5) Owe Aly ten pages-long letter. Haha. The thing is, I didn't tell her how big each of those pages will be. hehe...!
6) I want Snow Ball back!!! Haha, really miss cuddling him!
7) Currently feel like I'm inseparable from the MP4 player.
8) I suck at gym now.
9) I've been sleeping way past bedtime the past couple of weeks! Sooooo tired!!! I've got eyebags now, even Fifi commented on them!!!
10) 100 Years by Five for Fighting -this is my favorite song right now, which is kind of unusual cuz it's not a Jay Chou song. :)

Easy Fortune Happy Life

2009-08-10T15:03:00.002+08:00

Oh cool I just found this new drama that starts Qiao En! Haha and the wallpaper is so cool!

Hey, 15

2009-08-08T20:19:00.002+08:00

There's no wish better than this, if you've only got 100 years to live.

1) Haha, a new record! YAY! 50 minutes of sleep, with the next day being a school day and all. Haha, and unsurprisingly, I slept at 3pm the next day all the way until 10pm although I planned on getting up at 6pm. Haha, then walked from my parents' bedroom to mine, pausing at the living room to tell my mom I wouldn't be having dinner. Then promptly slept all the way til 7 plus the next day. Haha! So that's pure 16 hours of blissful sleep. 8 hours for the ones I missed the night before and 9 hours for the night itself. Excellent body clock. Couldn't ask for better!
2) Anyway, felt increasingly frustrated and sleepy yesterday, after all the exciting events, it being National Day celebration and all. But I told myself I had to go for Joan's PW trial thingy. Haha, I didn't regret it. It was meaningful, and I learnt some new stuff. Plus more bonding time with Joan and Fifi! Although, I couldn't concentrate during most of the trip. Was purely struggling to keep my eyes open and to keep my head from nodding. Haha, we're like the three musketeers all over again! Fifi and Joan are like the two closest friends to me in school... outside of gym? Hmm... haha. Maybe.
3) Officially lost my momentum from the start of the year. Just like I predicted. HAHA. Always happens every year...
4) Totally wasted the whole of today. Seriously, I don't know what I did. I just wasted it. haha.
5) Haha. And I get annoyed extremely easily. Like I swear, a thousand and one things can just tick me off! Hmm... Should go for anger management...
6) I want Snowball back!!! Man, I miss him so much!!!

haha new stuff

2009-07-29T20:05:00.002+08:00

1) Yay! Bro's back from Australia!! :D Kinda missed him a lot!
2) He bought me an mp4 for my birthday!!!
3) Yay we bought a new LED!
4) Haha, the chocolates he bought taste great!
5) And gym traning FINALLY OFFICIALLY STARTS!! WHOOHOO!!!

filifila...

2009-07-22T19:16:00.002+08:00

waahh haven't trained properly for half a month already!!! my muscles are degrading and my stamina just ain't keeping its standard!! MUST TRAIN!!! But there isn't any time!!! AHHHH...

um my birthday was on monday:D:D:D. haha but it wasn't such a big thing like last year's. haha but it was still fun and cool. Like haha I got surprised. Totally didn't expect it when my class sang me a birthday song and gave me two cakes!!! They were yummy!!! haha and then I got this super duper cool bag that I totally love!!! And then a cute jigsaw puzzle with signatures behind! And a touching card with all my classmates well wishes! Thanks especially to Yuqi, Kah Hoe, Yi Wen, Kong Ying and Deddy for the bag and to Fifi, her sister, Il Shan and Joan for the puzzle and cake!!! AND AND Olivia for her cake!!! And then had some gym treasure hunt thingy. hahah. I was supposed to turn around and count to 100. Then find them in the gym. haha. Found Sianglin and Shi Hui easily. Then Rina. HAHA. Then the others just popped out of nowhere cuz I was taking so long to find them and the coaches came. haha. Then they asked me to find the present. BUT I COULDN'T FIND IT. HAHAH. Not even after so many clues and then I had to resort to taking steps and them telling me hot or cold. haha. So they got me a cute cuddly pink bunny!!! hahahhah. And an awesome creative card. That said happy birthDA! hahahahahaha. I've been hugging the sweet sweet bunny at home ever since! And then the next day, lu qiang who couldn't come to school on monday gave me this bear! WHEEEE!!! haha. And then jia ling was so nice! She gave me a cake. AND I FORGOT AND LEFT IT AT THE CLASS BENCH. Luckily, Jing Han saw it and took it home. She brought it to me this morning which I promptly ate so as to take away the possibility of leaving it at the class bench again when I went home. haha. ohoh I forgot about Damian!! haha he was nice too! Gave me a card on my birthday, the day he didn't know too. hahaha.

um. Celebrating with my family was mild. With one bro overseas and the other attending a meeting, it was a quiet dinner. And to make it worse, by the time we got to Yuki no Yaki, (my FAV RESTAURANT IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD) it was about to close. So we settled for pizza hut instead. haha. But the food was not bad though. And then when we got home, I was totally surprised cuz mom had bought me a birthday cake! :D haha. So all in all, I had like four birthday cakes!!! hahahahaha.

okok. Would like to chat A LOT MORE. But unfortunately, I'm running out of time. Got to compose this song. Piano accompaniment and all. Considering duet as well. okok. See ya people!!!

P.S. AND THANKS TO MY WONDERFUL FRIENDS WHO WISHED ME HAPPY BDAE ON FACEBOOK TOO!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMANDA TAN!!!

2009-07-17T23:47:00.002+08:00

1) hahaha. So Sianglin came up with the idea of making a huge cushion in the shape of an 'A'. At first, we really couldn't think of anything to make for her. So had some really strong brainstorms. haha.
2) Then went to Beauty World to buy orange and green cloth cuz man said to get her something with green and orange in it. haha.
3) Rina fell sick:(
4) So I went home. Drew out the 'A' and cut the cloth. Stitched the cat. And glued everything together. haha. Took me quite a long time. slept at 1am!!!
5) Then next day in school, me, rina and aly sat in some discreet corner and killed rina's poor pillow to stuff the 'A'. haha. Did stupid stuff with it.
6) After school. Went to Courts to get one more pillow, so as to fill up the rest of the 'A'. Then went to her house to finish off. Hid the cushion in her room, propping it up against the wall facing the door. Then hid in the staircase when Erwin and man came. haha. She spotted our bags so she knew something was up. Was yelling for Rina to show herself. haha. quite retarded. And then while hiding, we encountered this really grumpy neighbor. haha. Oooh, and I love the dog!!! so cute. But Aly thinks it's ugly and was super scared of it. Still is. haha. Then went downstairs for the BBQ party. Rina, Jiaqi and Aki came soon. But poor lao da couldn't come cuz it was her mom's bdae:(((. Then played fun games and laughed our heads off. Took pics and crapped around. Ate a lot. haha. There was this silly game where you throw two dice. One numbered and one colored. We had Skittles. So the number and color you throw has to be eaten. haha. Super fun. and sour!!! Then we planned to have man tan dunked into the pool. haha. Took like half an hour to carry through. It succeeded. However, she wouldn't let go of me so I got dragged in as well. HAHA. Then had rina dunked. Then we played on the water slide!!! Whoohooo so fun!!! Slid down head first, sideways, backwards any-wards. haha. Then Aly was so tempted she joined in. Then me and man managed to push Aki in. haha he was so super pro and crazy. First did a back flip into the pool. And then a front flip with 520 degree twist!!! Like OMG!!! hahaha. Then attempted and failed to get erwin dragged in. Sang a birthday song for man tan afterwards. Ate super delicious cake. Had a gym photo taken with a very unwilling sianglin inside. Aly had to go. so we went upstairs to get our belongings. haha. I was lazy to change so I just went home wet. hahahahah. it was soooooo freaking fun!!! whoohooooo!!! :D:D:D

To the extremes. Do you prefer?

2009-06-26T14:51:00.003+08:00

1) It's kind of hard. Three coaches teaching you three different techniques. And then when they come back to see your progress, they're annoyed thinking you didn't follow their instructions. I've like a grand total of FOUR different ways to do the barani. And to each coach, the three other ways are wrong. It's a bit frustrating. It's now the end of the June holidays. I've still to perform the perfect barani on the trampoline itself. And I ain't going for training for the next week due to blocks.
2) I've read so much on depression and bipolar disorders. Not to mention self-destructive behaviors. No, there's nothing wrong with me. It's for PW. And I think I'm getting down too. It's so depressing and worrying thinking and studying those topics.
3) I have several high and low points of my life. Haha. It's kind of like a bipolar disorder in itself. And I think I'm at the low end now. :(
4) Haha. Today something funny happened. I got Mr. Lim to watch my barani. The version I was currently doing was to put my hands up as I go over. Mr. Lim made me keep my hands to the side of my body as I did it. So I tried one. HILARIOUS. Without my hands as a guide for the pivotal point, I overturned. To the extreme. Haha. Landed flat on my back. And everyone was laughing. Haha. Must have looked like a total idiot. :D
5) Hm. Met Aly for the first time this holiday. Kind of fun. Chat up a bit. Went for nice lunch...
6) Home's kind of lonely now. Hmm, but I'm kinda used to it already. With Dad and Bro overseas, it's only me, mom and my other bro. I'm the only one at home most of the time. Kinda cool in a way. Get to have the whole house to myself. Do whatever I want.
7) I'm real stiff now.
8) OK. So I have two and a half days left to study maths, bio, chem, econs, GP, and chinese. FOUR subjects of which I have not started on yet. Basically, I'm not in a very comfortable situation to be in. Oh man, hate procrastinating. But I just procrastinate anyway. Sigh. Never ever learn from my past mistakes... :(

Just a story

2009-06-22T11:06:00.002+08:00

Felt trapped. Enclosed in another world. This isn't me, really...

He checked in. I waited out of the queue, along with the others. Stood a little apart from them. Awkward. They talked. Silence was my talk. Stiff neck. Proud eyes distant. Motionless. He came and they moved away. I trailed after. It wasn't time yet. He sent his girl off. Then, we loitered around. This was my chance. To say all that I wanted to say. But no. My throat wouldn't let me. My jaw wouldn't let me. Beyond my control. Restricted. Bound in imaginary chains. There was no logic. I can't. And I won't. Explain.

Our eyes never met. But I made sure they didn't. Never showed a sign of weakness. No. Not in my whole life have I made this mistake. And certainly not now. Never.

Mother announced 6.30pm. They moved towards the entrance. I followed. They started saying their rounds of goodbyes. My last chance... Can I grab it?

"Goodbye!" burst out. A little too loud. Perhaps. But a little too late? No. He looked at me. But I was looking away. Deliberately.

I tried. To relax my face. Oh how I struggled! But nay. In my long sixteen years, I have trained it to be a mask without emotion. Why should it bow down to my weakness now?

He passed through the barriers. Looked back one last time. I couldn't bring myself to wave. Pride was in the way. Stood watching until he passed beyond sight. And then stood some more. Mother motioned for us to go.

I walked away. Face. A solid mask. Without emotion. Unseen rivers of tears crashing down. In my heart stretched butter-thin on toast. Inside. Behind permanent prison bars. That I built myself.

FUNNNNNNNNN!!!

2009-06-20T17:46:00.002+08:00

1) My only disappointment was that I didn't bring my camera to commemorate the event.
2) Okay, yesterday was like THE BEST TIME I'VE EVER HAD since I entered Hwa Chong. I shall elaborate on the details in the following substantial paragraphs...

So. On thursday night, I agreed to train with lao da at 11.30pm the next day. Told Rina about it. And ordered Aki to come. Haha. Next day, as I hadn't set the alarm clock, I totally overslept. Woke up thinking it was still 9, at the latest. Turned out, it was already 11. haha. So by the time I got to the gym, I was one hour late, and Aki had already finished training. haha. Then, we just totally slacked and talked. Did some crazy stuff as usual. Like jumping over each other. Haha, lao da wouldn't put her life in my hands. She didn't trust me. Or rather, she didn't trust my leapfrog jumping skills. haha. Then at around 2, lao da, Rina and I went off to Coro Plaza to drink bubble tea. Lao Da (as usual), took my money to buy everyone's bubble tea. haha. Then we persuaded Rina to ditch Larry and come to play at lao da's house. Which she did. Hehe.

By the time we got to Man's house, it was like, four. Super far away. Near East Coast Park. OMG. I sooooooo love her house!!! Super cool man!!! Like hidden stairways and rooms!!! And disguised switches. Her dad rocks. He's an architect, meaning he can draw and design. Sooo cool. And the best part was, the house was designed like over ten years ago, and it still looks modern and hip now!!! Love her house. It's like an extension of her personality. You can sooo see her in the house. haha. Then I met some of her family and relatives. HA. Can tell where those crazy genes of hers came from. Had my favorite Mi Goreng instant noodles brand for a late lunch. Uhm lazed around a bit. Oh then Siang Lin came! Yay! She lives really nearby, like walk-able distance. Watched a bit of Step Up (I haven't watched it yet) then chatted a bit.

Then I learnt a new word! KELONG!!! It means fish farm!!! Haha, so Man's aunt brought us to her KELONG. We were coolies. haha. So cool, we took the boat to reach the fish farm thingy. Then painted the toilet. haha. Did some cool graffiti. Like a lip as the mouth of the hole. Then a sign on the door for males, females and gays. Then painted on the inside walls stuff like: Better out than in, When you have to go just go!, I am watching you, Which side do you face?, Aim well... and so on... Then took precarious walks to look at the huge fishes that sometimes flip out of the water. Heard from man they were sashimi or something like that. Then walked on two super thin planks of wood across the water for a distance. Scary but exciting! Saw the sunset. The guests arrived but we continued painting... Looked at the gigantic fish net. Walked over planks of wood over 3 meters high above the water without railings or safety nets for fun and then just lay there talking and enjoying the breath-taking sight of the numerous stars in the silent night. Had dinner. Consisted of pizzas, barbecued chicken, pie, jelly, lettuce, clams, chips and cheese, hot dogs, nuggets and lots of other stuffs. Oh, we roasted marshmallows. Lao da sure was having fun. She smeared my melting marshmallow all over my face! Then took pictures of me. Of course I posed. haha. Then swore I would take revenge on her which I never did. She just runs too fast. Watched a bit of TV then just lazed around some more. Oh yeah! Then we went canoeing!!! Wahahahah!!! The fish farm had two canoes. We wore life jackets. Then set off from there! Couldn't go far of course, cuz it was at night and the aunt wanted to keep her eye on us. Then so me and siang lin paired up against lao da and rina to race. haha we raced several times. But lao da's team always beat us! grrrrr....! By the time we got back, it was 12.30am. And I felt the floor still swaying beneath my feet. haha.

I stayed over at Man's house! Whoohoo!!! Along with Siang Lin!!! haha. Actually, mom wouldn't let me. But given the circumstances: we couldn't get off the fish farm until the aunt finished hosting her guests which was like at 12am, then there were no more buses for me to take home, and east coast was just too far for my bro to fetch. So I had a hell of a time! Lao da provided shirt, towel and shorts with a hole in it. haha. So we showered and then lazed around on the bed. Started chatting and talking a lot. Well, Siang Lin and lao da did most of the talking. haha. Cuz I don't stay up late, and 2am was really too much for me. So I dropped off to sleep before they did. They slept at like 3 plus. Haha. Then I woke up early way before they did. Which was still late anyway. Like 10. Then read a book until they woke up. Haha, they didn't want to wake up, so I thought I should jostle them a bit. Thus, I rolled over the both of them. Got them squealing and yelping. Lol. THAT woke them up. It was super effective. Then Siang Lin and I piled up on top of Man just for fun. Was kinda comfortable actually. More surprisingly, it was the most comfortable for lao da. Anyway, we ate lunch. (It was too late for breakfast cuz by the time we got up, it was 12 plus) Watched a bit of tv and then lazed around some more. Thereafter, Siang Lin and I had to go... :( Took me about one hour plus to get home. Was feeling a little dizzy and VERY sleepy from the late night before. haha.

So all in all... IT WAS SUCH A FUN DAY AND NIGHT!!! LIKE WOWOWWW! I NEVER LAUGHED SO MUCH AND FELT SO CAREFREE BEFORE IN THIS YEAR! yay!!! :D:D:D
3) Anyway, I'm so totally screwed. Basically, I haven't done anything in the holidays. Haven't started on anything yet except maybe for maths. I'm soo gonna die for blocks test! But for now, I'm still deliriously happy over the activities from last night. So I'm kind of not feeling guilty or panicky yet. :D:D:D hehey! Got to go now. :D

It's been over a month since I've last posted.

2009-06-15T22:57:00.009+08:00

Went swimming one day with my bro. Quite cool. Found I could overtake him if I swam fast. haha. Anyway, a bird flew into the house one day. Was stucked in there for like 6 hours. Too dumb to fly out the OPEN WINDOWS AND DOORS. So my brother mustered up his courage (took him one hour) to grab the bird. Even he was yelping and jumping when the bird was frightened and took flight every time he tried to get near.

So... I totally failed in my hot-headed goals for the holidays. Been slacking the past couple of weeks. Like, went out to watch Aliens vs Monsters (or is it the other way around?) with Yi Wen, Jia Ling and Jing Han. Then went to Alan's house for fun rather than to do PW. Hmm, then there was the prata outing followed by the crashing of Kong's house... Haha, then another day I met up with Deanna, Yi Wen, Yu Qi, Fifi, Kong, and Kah Hoe to watch Night at the Museum 2 and then crashed Yi Wen's house to hold a ceremony honoring the shaving of Kong's head by duty-bound Yi Wen. HAHA. It was so funny.

Haha, last thursday was crazy. Went for math lesson in the morning. Gave the dark chocolate to Mr. Ng as a gift of appreciation. Then rushed home and then out again to meet Trish to watch Terminator Salvation, straight from there I bought cheesecake for Aki as an act of common courtesy and then had gym gathering at his house, and right after I rushed to Yi Wen's house for the class gathering, snitching a whole box of pizzas and lugging my dearly bought puddings WHICH NO ONE ATE. That day, I was really broke, had only like one dollar and 35 cents left. haha. But was kinda fun...

Then friday and saturday I did cip by acting as bouncers for the heartbeat concert alongside Yi Wen and Kah Hoe. Really fun. Free dinner and concert. haha that brat Aki hinted quite obviously that he expected flowers being the emcee in the concert. haha. So I gave him a large popcorn combo coupon. haha.

Lastly, yesterday I went out again. In the afternoon, I went to visit my Grandma, who was going back to malaysia. Then went to meet Charmaine to watch Ghosts of Girlfriends' Past. From there, we caught 162M to Shunfu Place to catch the 6J BBQ gathering. Met old friends, and then some I don't remember. haha.

June holidays starts today!

2009-05-30T10:52:00.002+08:00

1) For some strange reason, people have been calling me a mugger. It's hilarious considering the fact that I was previously known for being the exact opposite in my secondary school days.
2) Well, what I'm going to say next is probably just gonna prove their point. haha. It's the start of the June holidays!!! Whoohooo!!!- and I'm going to study today. :D:D:D
3) Looks like failing maths was a good thing. I've just gotten myself a whole new stack of practice worksheets to do! Yay, really need the practice badly.
4) I hope to do well for Block tests. Which is why I'm starting today! :)
5) And I'm all alone at home now. Kinda peaceful, and I can do whatever I want! :)

In the dark

2009-05-15T19:19:00.002+08:00

1) I don't know if I should confront it or leave it be. Doing either could aggravate the problem... :(
2) I had so much to say, but now that I'm here, I find that I really have no words to say at all.
3) My hair's finally growing longer. But it still has a long way to go before reaching its former glory.
4) Aww man, when is Ashlee Simpson and Jay Chou gonna come up with a new album...?
5) Hmm, one thing that will make me the happiest person in the world... will be to go down to Wild Wild Wet with a small group of close friends and spend the whole day there playing! :D:D:D
6) For some reason, my dieting's not working. I wonder why... is it cuz I'm getting older so dieting can't have any large impacts on my weight?
7) I'm really not sure what I feel right now. Sooooo confused...:(:(:( I don't like it.
8) Played volleyball today. It was quite ok... Would have preferred badminton though. haha cuz I'm better at it.
9) Uhm... not sure if I should hold on to the past, or just move on... One thing's for sure, I'll NEVER EVER forget her. She'll always be in my heart. :)
10) Nothing's ever as simple as black and white in real life. It's always grey. I dislike that fact, but maybe it's what makes life a worthwhile adventure to undertake.

WHAT DID YOU DO LAST SUMMER? Just do it - Nike

2009-05-11T17:50:00.003+08:00

1) Went to play badminton today 7am to 9am. Didn't wanna go - mainly cuz I had a lot of homework to do... and I don't like to go out on outings with a lot of people (more than 5). So, on the behalf of much pleading and coaching from ded, I went. hehe. And my arm really aches now. Havn't played for bout 2 years I think... Haha, basically I suck right now.
2) Hmm. JC's killing me. Have never felt so busy and mind-muddled before in my life. Got lotsa things to think about. It's like one thing drives out the other. So I guess I'm gonna get scolded tomorrow or the day after by my chinese teacher. Cuz I'm chinese rep yeah? Then I was supposed to tell the people who haven't handed up their workbooks to do so by 2pm on Friday. Or else, they get a zero for their grades. Well, I forgot... and the teacher called me during lesson. I couldn't answer of course. And then I remembered at like 4 and passed up one student's workbook onto her desk. Which by then, was empty - meaning she already went home. Darn it. I'm sooooo dead... :(:(:(
3) Haha, Kah Hoe, Alan and Lu Qiang came to my house on Saturday. Unexpectedly, Kah Hoe insulted my house, like he did for Yi Wen's. haha. But I dont' really care. Then instead of doing PW, they started SLEEPING ON MY BED. Hugging my stuff toys too! HAHA. So funny! Seeing guys hugging stuff toys to sleep. LIKE GROSSSSS.... haha. Then I took pics of them doing just that and Alan wearing my wig. SO FUNNY. haha. Anyway, they stayed there for like... 5 and a half hours? haha. Oh I feel guilty for dragging Kah Hoe and Alan all the way to Clarke Quay in the afternoon just to go support Fifi, Joan, Ded, Hansen and Kenneth for their Interact charity thingy. Haha, but since it's for charity, I'm not mopping too much over it! haha.
4) Hmm. haha I think I just spent something like half an hour talking over the phone with Kong. That hasn't happened to me for ages - talking so long over the phone, I mean. haha, don't think otherwise...
5) Okay, so by tonight, I gotta mug chem AA, do gas tutorial and write my peer evaluation for ILP. Oh yeah, and pack my bag for tomorrow as well. haha.
6) Manns, I feel so guilty. I've been basically doing nothing for the past three days. Like all I did was have that PW meeting, type out the PW minutes and do the chem ISP test. haha. Sigh...
7) Havn't gone training for over a week now. Bet the coach's angry at me. And I bet I can't jump anymore... :( I've just been so busy over the past week. It was like crazy. Kept sleeping after midnight. I mean I know it's not anyone's fault. It's just that either my group members were busy with other stuffs or they were sick. So I had to take on the group's load myself. Really stressful. And I'm not even sure if the work I produced were quality work... I'm sooo stressed... (which is why I've got pimples now. haha)
8) I miss my childhood days. haha. The times when I did nothing but play, and still got to be the top of the class in just about everything I did. And then everyone would just envy me and call me smart. hehe. AND I was one of the TALLEST in class as well! HAHA. Sad to say, everything's the total opposite now in my life...:( oh wells. Better count my blessings... :)
9) haha. On saturday when PW group came over my house right? At the doorstep, I was like "Yeah, yeah, I have a dog." Ok, I don't have a dog, but I was just trying to scare my friends, in case they WERE scared of dogs. Then when I opened the door, there WAS A DOG. HAHAHAHAH. Turns out, it was my bro's gf dog, Hero. My favorite species - Japanese Spitz.
10) OK, gotta go do homework now. Running out of time. hehe. So ciao ladies and gentlemen!!! :D:D:D

going ga-ga - J1301, a sign?

2009-04-18T14:45:00.004+08:00

1) 2009 is proving to be a year full of fun and hardships.
2) I had NAPFA yesterday. Hehe. Results were definitely disappointing. Can't blame it though. It's only to be expected since I only ever did pull-ups, standing broad jumps, shuttle runs and running once a year, which is during NAPFA. haha. Sit-ups, which used to be my strength, has ceased to be one. haha. Cuz gym training in JC is super duper slack. I never do PTs anymore. So... Let's see... sit-ups deproved by 7 from my highest NAPFA score in sec 3. Dropped from 63 to 56. Shocking. I've always hit 60. Standing broad jump was bad. Deproved from highest score of 205 to 190cm. I guess that's the consequence of not doing frog jumps anymore in PT. haha. Ok, sit and reach was quite ok. Don't know why though. I hardly ever stretch for warm-ups anymore. So I improved by 11 cm from 55 to 66 cm. Then pull-ups was a nightmare. Last year I did 40. This year was 31. I can't see any reasons for it. I never ever train for pullups in my life. So I don't know why I deproved... hm... Is it cause I never carry books as heavy as last year's? Or the fact that I've been doing less handstands? Then shuttle run was a let-down too. Score dropped by 0.1 sec to 10.9sec. Then next week I've got 2.4km run. Oh mannnnnnn, I've not trained for it. This is gonna be bad...
3) I spent the happiest time I've had in the whole week in gym. HAHA. Sooo happy. I'd actually planned to go there and train. But then, due to OTHER PEOPLE'S influences, I ended up playing and doing crazy stunts which turned out to be a good thing. :D:D:D So, I didn't wait for the others and went to high school myself. Then started by jogging 9 rounds around the floor. Wanted to do 10 but people started training there so I had to stop. Then did some stretching. More than I had done almost this whole year. Was gonna practice my routine on the trampoline when team mates arrived and crashed my plans. haha. So MAN did this cool double front somersaults into the sponge pit. Tan and I were impressed. We wanted to do it as well. So Man said to practice doing a high somesault first. Then after that, just keep going and don't hesitate. And we did it! Whoohoo. The sensation is really cool. Like flying through the air with the wind in your face. Really nice! haha. But that's when I injured myself. haha. real stupid. Cuz when you're doing double somersaults, you're travelling at a faster speed rite? So then I landed and smacked my face onto my knee. OUCH. haha, lip was bleeding. And I thought the right side of the face was swelling up. It didn't though, thank goodness. Then lao da was like, why did you close ure legs? Then I was like but you have to close your legs to curl up right? Then she said no it's a basic thing you learn when you first learn front somersault. haha I said I've never learnt somersault from a coach, I learnt it myself. So anyway, after that, I had a fear of doing double somersaults already. And couldn't do it very well anymore. :( But then, that turned out to be a good thing! haha. Cuz then I tried to do front pike and a full 360 degrees twist. Resulted from seeing Man doing it. and Tan and I did it! whoohoo!!! So proud of ourselves! haha. Well, we actually learned the basics for it already through barani. So we just had to turn a bit more that's all. haha. Then after awhile, I grew bored and started practicing doing the barani plus one more half twist thingy on the trampoline. and yay! I could land! But only on the crash mat though. I don't wanna kill myself. But Man is just crazy. She spotted Jun Yan doing the running-up-the-wall-then-doing-a-back-somersault thingy. So she thought for a really long while. AND THEN JUST DID IT. like omg. She's super crazy and pro. But of course, she was from the junior national gymnastics team after all. hehe. Oh, one downside though. I've found out the hard way that I can't do back somersaults on ground level anymore. haha. So yeah, yesterday was real fun. :)
4) And today, I have really bad bodyaches. Let's name a few: neckache, slightly swollen lip, thigh ache, backache, stomach ache, shoulder ache... OK. Basically, everything's really sore right now. In fact, it was rather difficult for me to get out of bed today. Hurts to get up, cuz I gotta use my stomach muscles right? haha. Even my toes are sore. Not to mention my brain. Spent half an hour this morning attempting to do ONE maths question which turned out to be ridiculously simplistic. haha.
5) Okay, a whole pile of homework's waiting for me in my room. Gotta lessen the load a bit. haha. Going now. Cya all soon! :D
P.S. It's quite hard not to get distracted these days...

Mood swings on the see-saw

2009-04-06T18:29:00.002+08:00

1) It's been strange this past week. Haha. Slept on the floor for the two nights before competition. Then screwed up competition for the second consecutive time. Which made me cry for the first time in public this year. Then slept like crazy over the next three days. I slept at 8 on Thursday. Then 9 on Friday waking up at 9 plus. Then ten on Saturday waking up at 9. And the most strange thing of all? I didn't even sleep last night. Crazy right? haha. No, it wasn't because I didn't try to. I. Just. Couldn't. Which totally pisses me off. If there is one thing I hate, it's lack of sleep. Went to bed at 12. I laid there for one hour. Then started realizing I wasn't drifting off to sleep the way I usually do. So I waited. Then checked my phone. It was 2am. I tried to stay still in one spot. Read that in order to drop off to sleep, body temperature must first be lowered. So, I tried to keep my breathing even. 3am. For some strange reason, my heart was beating faster. Like I was afraid of something. I didn't know what. Realized it was the ghost hour. Kept tossing around. 4am. Counted sheeps doing somersaults, double somersaults and twists. I felt so awake and alert. My eyes weren't even drooping over. Was even considering revising mentally over the contents and the outline of the econs essay later in the morning. 5am. Gave up on trying to get to sleep. Just thought about the day lying ahead as I waited for the alarm to ring at 5.45am. The most absurd thing of all the absurd things so far was that for the whole of today, I wasn't even sleepy or tired at all. In fact, I felt more awake than I usually do even on days when I've slept well the night before. It was like I'd had such a restful sleep the like of I've never had before. A-ma-zing... I have two hypothesis regarding this strangest of phenomenoms. One: I had slept too much in the past three days. Two: I had two cups of milk tea during the day. Well, one thing's for sure, and that it is the FIRST TIME, I repeat, the FIRST TIME, I've ever not slept the night before school. IN FACT, IT IS THE FIRST TIME I'VE NOT SLEPT BEFORE. Whoohooo! One milestone crossed over for me! haha, and no, on the contrary, I don't consider this a good thing...
2) Okay, shall do homework, eat, then do homework then sleep. HOPEFULLY, I'll be able to sleep tonight! Keeping my fingers crossed...
3) The events of the past week have deeply disturbed me. Hope I get over it soon. :) Haha, though now that I think of it, I most probably will not. I havn't even gotten over last year's screwup. :(
4) My wishlist for this year? a) Make real good friends that I can trust. :D So far, I know I'm on the way there. :D:D:D b) Uh, okay, that's all I can think of for now. hehe.
5) Yay, my cousin unwittingly answered my silent prayers and bought me a school bag! Whoohoo! And we watched Gran Torino on Saturday, which was a really good and touching movie. :D:D:D. Okay, gotta go do homework now. Cya all 'taters!

ANDRENALINE RUSHING.

2009-03-31T20:38:00.002+08:00

1) I'm scared, scared SCARED SCARED SCARED!!! But the pressure now isn't as bad as last year's. Hehe, so I guess it's a good thing. Ah, I'm so freaking nervous. Went to school today to do a few more practice jumps before going to CCAB to try the tramp out. My first routine on the competition tramp was screwed. I was like 1/3 my height, I couldn't jump up at all. That tramp is so hard and unflexible. Then Siang Lin told me some good advice, which I took, and then I was nearly my usual height again. I had to sink in more, and not rush through with jumping. That way, I can use my weight to propel myself upswards. Okay, I'm so worried that tomorrow, I'll be so nervous that I wouldn't be able to do a good routine. That I'll screw up somehow. That I'll start rushing and flying everywhere. I really really hope I won't regret or be disappointed. And I hope that my team members will be proud of me as I will be of them.
2) After the tryouts, we stayed awhile to watch some of the other schools, then went back to hc to eat lunch. The rest then proceeded to training while Amanda, Siang Lin and I went to J8 to buy presents for everyone. HAHA. We were so stingy with money. Well not me actually, it was Amanda. But since we were sharing costs, I had to go along with her ways. So in the end, after walking for an hour, we spent $2.25 on 10 rulers. HAHA. Then we went back home to wrap our presents. haha. It was so freaking funny. What we did, I mean. First, we searched the ground for rocks. Then bleached them to make them white. Then we gathered one dollar coins. And searched Youtube for a method to make them shiny. Found something about salt and vinegar. Which was what we did. Haha, stank the whole place, really and left them in the cup for half an hour. Hehe, then we thought the method really did work, but then it was only our minds fooling us. haha. So what we did for presents? HAHA. Mostly Man's idea, although I came up with the Ang Bao part. So, we wrote them letters, then inserted one letter each into an Ang Bao. Then, plonked a piece of rock inside bearing the words "You Rock." Then a personalized ruler with scribbles of their names and "You Rule" and "HCI TRAMP" as well as some deco tape pasted onto one end. The last bit was exceptionally brainy. HAHA. We put a one dollar coin inside, for whatever use the recipient would want to put it to. Anyway, the letters said something like You rock, you rule, and you shine! HAHAHAHAHA. SUPER FUNNY. HAD SO MUCH FUN MAKING THEM. AND MAN WAS MAKING US ALL LAUGH SO MUCH. By the time we were done, it was like six thirty. And they had to rush off - leaving me a messy room to clean up. haha. I didn't mind, really.
3) I slept on the FLOOR last night!!! Haha, it was soooo fun!!! And the funny thing is, I'm not having a backache at all today. I'm perfectly fine! haha. Okay, you'll be asking why I slept on the floor right? haha. Cuz my mom's friend came back from Hong Kong. She slept on my bed. Then my cousin had to stay for the night. So the mattress went to him. AND THEN our sleeping bag was already lent to another cousin, who has not returned it for months. I wanted to sleep on my parent's bed, but had already done so before and did not wish to share the overcrowded conditions again. haha, and my dad's snore is reallly really loud. Kept me awake half the night... So what I did was laid a coverlet on the floor. Folded it into two. And that was my bed. Haha, then used the excess as a blanket. Then I had my pillow and bolster which was enough for me. haha, a little discomfort experienced at first. But everything was fine. What an experience! haha, and I'm gonna do it again tonight. Man, I've got competition tomorrow too...
4) Okay, got a ton of things to do before heading off to bed. Stitch the tag onto my leotard. I got number four. In chinese, that's bad. In english, that's an even number. And I like even numbers. haha. Then iron my uniform. Then study lipids. Then construct my makeshift bed. haha. Okay.
5) Wow, nearly forgot my nervousness. Ahhhhh I'm soooooo scared!!! haha. okok, hope I do well tomorrow!!! In fact, even if it's not good, but I don't screw up, I'm gonna be so relieved and happy. haha. Okay, everyone, I'm getting my big fat butt off the chair. So ciao people!!!

The 3 D's : Determination, Diligence, and the last one I've forgotten. haha.

2009-03-28T16:48:00.002+08:00

1) I've been in a lousy mood for the last few weeks. Especially crappy today.
2) Stress maybe? Was like that last year too, in the months leading up to 'O' Levels.
3) Haha, I find that I really like ice cream.
4) It's on Wednesday. I'm not nervous. Maybe cuz I've given up all hope.
4) I wanna be Banana King!
5) Had CIP today. Kinda fun. 'Cept money's gone.
6) Hey, I've got a sunburn!!! From swimming in the hot sun for over an hour for PE. It's kinda painful.
7) Ahhhh, left my specs with FISH!!
8) I'm soooo broke, I'm even in debt.
9) I think, I'm gonna take a nap. Really sleepy, even though I slept 10 hours last night. I think my body's trying to make up for the lack of sleep over the last week.
10) Kookabara sits on the old gum tree.

Revolution

2009-03-21T16:31:00.002+08:00

1) Jevon says I'm unlike girls. That I love video and computer games like guys. I think that maybe it's got something to do with being brought up alongside two brothers. haha.
2) Darn, why did I have to go lose my wallet...? Realize how essential the things inside it were. Like the housekey, Ez-link card, back gate key and money. haha.
3) I've got this voucher with Rachel from Prom Night. We STILL haven't used it yet. haha.
4) Competition's in barely more than a week. I heard our leotards are disgusting. And Wang Jiao Lian made me the first of the first. Darn it. I hate being first. So scary. And I'm so nervous. Okay, here's the good thing about not being the best anymore. There isn't as much pressure on you. So yeah, I'm less nervous than last year. But still nervous enough to have sweaty palms, my andrenaline pumping through my veins, and butterflies in my stomach when I think about it. I really hope people outside the gym don't come to watch. It'll be too embarassing and pressuring. I'm especially dreading the part about baring my thighs...
5) Oh yeah, last friday was the best time of my life! We went out. That is, me, Deddy, Olivia, Kah Hoe, Kong Ying, Yi Wen, Fifi, and Yu Qi. Haha, we went to Plaza Singapura. Then, I was made to watch Coming Soon. Which was this super duper thriple scary Thai horror movie. I think I only watched about 0.00001% of the movie. The whole time, I was hiding my face. haha. Anyway, it was kind of fun to watch even guys screaming and covering their ears and eyes. Didn't know they can get scared like this too! And then Fifi and I were grasping our hands together so hard that they hurt afterwards. And I heard there was this one scary part in which Deddy jumped to Kong Ying in fright. HAHAHAA.
6) Oh no, my knees are wearing off again. It's been aching off and on. While jumping, even now. Pooey... That's the price of making gym my life huh...
7) I wanna read Brisingr. Sigh, Fun Juin said she'd lend it to me after she reads it. But I haven't heard from her yet...
8) Oh yeah, and I want my Eragon and Eldest books back!!!
9) Before this March holidays, I vowed to study whatever we've covered so far. HAHA. Due to my procrastinating habits, I haven't done anything yet. I've only done maths and GP homework. Still got chemistry, econs and bio homework to finish...
10) Kind of crazy. Me and Trish, I mean. We went to photocopy all our lecture notes. So that we could exchange them and read more. haha.
11) Hmm. I still can't make up my mind whether I like HC or not. One thing's for sure though, that I still love and miss SC. :) I think JC's very troublesome. You have so many things to think about. I prefer the simple, sheltered life of SC. A bit boring sometimes, but I feel really safe and secure in the environment.
12) Haha, a couple of weeks ago, I was acting childish in front of Fifi. So she asked my age in jest. haha. It took me like 5 seconds to answer her! HAHA. Cuz I'd forgotten my age. I dunno why! Maybe cuz I hardly think of my age? Okay, I'm 16 now and am gonna be 17 this year! haha, just to remind myself!
13) I realize how much I LOVE sleeping. Makes me feel really refreshed and smart after one long night of good, undisturbed sleep.
14) My piano practical and theory skills are deteriorating like mad. I can tell I can't read notes as fast now. And my playing is really clumsy, messy and mellow. No feelings. Sigh. I don't think I'll ever finish grade 8... :(
15) And I havevn't drawn anime in months! HA, more like YEARS! I know that if I were to pick up a pen, I wouldn't be able to draw as well as last time.
16) Okay, that's the end of this blog. I ended on the sixteenth point, haha cuz I wanted to remind myself again that I'm sixteen!!! Alright, see you all earthlings!!!

I've been making a lot of mistakes.

2009-03-19T21:26:00.004+08:00

And today was especially horrible.

Went out with Peggy to Ang Mo Kio hub.

The problems started there.

The free movie tickets turned out to be only for Eng Wah cinemas. Good thing I'd brought enough money.
Then the movie we watched was total crap. Unworthy of the $9.90 we paid.
Went broke after buying a present to make up for the grave mistake I made yesterday. I was feeling really guilty about it, but there wasn't any other present I thought suitable.
After that, as if my life wasn't already dreadful enough, I had to go lose my wallet.
Let's talk about the good side. I was already broke, so there was less than $3 cash in there.
Now, the bad side... it held my Ez-link card consisting of over $8, my IC, my housekey, my school badge, my 4 photocopy cards that's probably worth less than 5 bucks, This Fashion discount card(not that I really care but it was given to me by a family friend so the guilt is there), FunKey(ok worthless), and then my Ah Ma's lucky charm(I'm sort of superstitious so this is quite bad).

Okay, I'm sure your burning question is how did I lose it???
My answer? I DON'T KNOW.
Let me explain. I'm sure it was there when I bought the present. If not, how could I even buy it? So it's definitely not lying around in the movie theatre as I bought the present after I watched the movie. After that, my niece and I were walking around the shops. Then we went home. I was just about to board my bus, when I realized my wallet wasn't in my bag. So I went back to search for one whole hour. Told Peggy to go off first, of course. Searched all the places I've been and not been. Even went to the information counter to record down my name and contact number.
I was scared. HA. No I wasn't scared about what would happen to the contents of my wallet and how they would be wrongfully utilised. Okay, maybe I was a tiny bit scared about that. But no, what I was so afraid of, was my mom. Oh! When I told her, she was sooooo pissed off. Oh no, she didn't shout. But you could hear and see the barely-controlled fury in her voice and expression. To me, she has the amazing ability to make you feel so guilty, too guilty in my opinion, about doing something stupid like losing your wallet. I felt like scum when she called me in response to my sms.
And now I don't think I can go to training tomorrow. Cuz I'm gonna ground myself in repetence for my ill deed. Even if I didn't do anything. No, I don't believe I dropped it. My wallet's real chunky, it would have made a lot of noise if I did drop it. And I'm not the type of person to leave it lying around. It's either in my hand or my bag. That's it. I don't know how I lost it.
So now, I've got to fix this mess I've landed myself in. Report loss of IC and Ez-link and apply for new ones. Money, time, and energy required. Lots of them. Including my mom's. Probably explains her foul mood now.

Oh man, what bad luck I'm having today. :(:(:( Just wanna go to bed, and forget all this. But I'm almost grown up now... Gotta fix this mess first... myself.

2009-03-15T15:23:00.002+08:00

STJ S75!!!

2009-03-15T15:14:00.003+08:00

So senior and junior classes went to Dome in Marina Square! haha. It was great fun socializing with everyone.

As you can tell, the guys did a lot of retarded things...

Then I found out my Angel!!! Her name's Jia Yee!

Deddy's so funny! He's carrying my bag.

And Kong Ying looks spastic in my spectacles. haha!

BIG HARDCORE LOTR FAN

2009-02-20T21:38:00.002+08:00

1) Been sleeping less than my usual nine hours this whole week, I am SOOOOO sleepy and tired. Gonna sleep in tomorrow morning.
2) Aww mans. Homework. So... my job over the weekend? To learn chinese idioms for test... Uh, to re-read the chinese chapter and understand it. Oh, and also learn how to READ it. Then there's an econs essay due. FREAK. I don't even know how to write it... Then there're the bio tutorials, then re-reading all the lecture notes... Uhm, same for chem as well... Hmm... maybe maths homework... I'm not really sure if there's homework for GP too...
3) Ran 2.4 km today. My timing is horrendous. Maybe cuz of the slope? But I think it's cuz I havn't ran since last year's NAPFA test. But then, I only run once every year FOR the NAPFA test. haha. But still, maybe cuz of 'O' Levels, I havn't been going for gym practice so my stamina dropped. Anyway, my timing was a lousy 12.58. Down from my 12.10 last year. And my standing broad jump deproved from 200+ cm to 190+ cm. Like ouch to my ego. AND I SHRANK!!! BY ONE CM. WHICH IS BAD ENOUGH ALR. Haha, but at least I lost half a kg since my last measurement which was done in the months leading up to 'O' Levels. haha. But then you could say I lost 3 and a half kg, since December last year. Yup. Thanks to working.
4) I think I need a sling bag for school. Hmm...
5) Oh, yeah, Yu Qi just told me that there's an audition for the dramafest emcees. haha. I wanna go for it!!! I love being emcee and I miss being one!!! But then they say it's impromptu, so I'm not very confident cuz I'm not really good at being impromptu, and I don't really know the script and the people in hc yet, so yeah. haha. It took my something like four years to be confident being an emcee in SCGS even though I'd been an emcee for the past three years...
6) Man, I owe Jun Yan a lot of stuffs. But he won't let me pay him back somehow. Feel kinda guilty bout this...
7) I really want to finish my grade 8 piano this year, but now I can tell that I've absolutely no time for it!!!
8) Okay, gonna sleep now. Good night! :D:D:D

I THINK I JUST HUMILIATED MYSELF IN PUBLIC.

2009-02-16T21:22:00.001+08:00

WHY OH WHY DID I GO ALONG WITH IT??? HAHAHAHAHA.... IT'S SOOO NOT FUNNY....

First 2 weeks of orientation over and done with!

2009-02-14T17:07:00.002+08:00

1) I got into 09S75, Apollo faculty. Haha, Apollo rocks! WHY ARE WE SO PRO, WE ARE APOLLO!!
2) Oh man, I'm doomed. Still haven't gotten a GC and extra uniforms...
3) I'm starting to like my class better. But I still prefer my OG. OG31 rawks!!!
4) haha, and I feel so guilty now. Caroline gave me a rose yesterday. (I pricked my finger immediately when I first took it) But I left the rose in the audi!!! SOBSOBSOB SOORRRYYYY CAROLINE!!!
5) Then, I think the guys in our class bought flowers for all the girls!!! AWWWW soooooo sweeeeeeetttt!!!
6) Yesterday's campfire was a blast. And it wasn't just cuz Apollo won both the flag and performance competition. Haha, I had so much fun with my classmates. They had this huge bonfire and the Rev-it-up sign on fire. DARN COOL LAH. Then we had a song session. Which was fun, our whole class sang in a circle with our arms around each other. Then next up was the dance session. Was really great. I paired up with Yu Qi. haha, so cool lah. Cuz he was a good dancer. (compared to most of the guys) So it was really fun dancing with him. But then we had to switch partners. And dance to a song I really sucked at. My new partner was Deddy. He also didn't know how to dance to that song. Haha, so we struggled really hard to catch up with the ICs. I swear we really looked like extreme retards. Doing all the wrong moves. Haha, then I think Deddy fell. I couldn't take it anymore, so we all just squatted down in the midst of a dancing crowd, laughing like crazy. Darn funny lah! haha. Lastly, we had a cheer session. Haha, I screamed till I became hoarse. Haha, some of the guys in my class lost their voices. Quite funny lah.
7) So this whole week I've been sleeping much less than my essential 9 hours. So I tried to make up for it by sleeping in this morning and not going for training. haha. Then I slept again in the afternoon. Still tired. Think I'll go to bed early tonight. :D
8) Stressed.

DROP DEAD TIRED

2009-02-04T21:17:00.002+08:00

1) Kinda tired of waking up 5.45 am everyday for school. And I hate how I always wake up before the alarm rings so that I can turn off the alarm. I've got this strange phobia for alarms. Dunno why. Hmm... maybe it has got something to do with... STUPID MAN SCARING THE TOOT OUT OF ME EVERY SINGLE OPPORTUNITY SHE CAN GET!!! ARRRGGGHHHH!!! YOU ARE SOOOOO GOING DOWN ONE DAY MAN, YOU HEAR THAT!?
2) OMG. I'M SUPPOSED TO SKIP ORIENTATION SO THAT I CAN GO FOR TRAINING??? No way, man. NO WAY. And I'm starting to like my OG already. Moreover, the real fun starts tomorrow...
3) Sigh, I went to the shop that sells HC uni THREE FREAKING TIMES, and came back with one miserable skirt.
4) Hmm... OMG I'M NOT LOSING WEIGHT AT ALL!!! HELP!!!
5) Haha, Aki and I are always bullying each other. I'll always go something like: But you're an Indian, aren't you Muslim??? Haha, then he'll go: You're from the Philippines, aren't you a maid??? HAHAHAHAH. Ok, that was a bit racist. Hmm, no offense meant here, ok everyone?
6) I'm super duper thiple tired today. It's 9.30am, and I'm off to bed! GOOD NIGHT PEOPLE!!! and no Myra, I'M NOT CHILDISH OR LAME.

Uhm when's 2nd Feb?

2009-01-29T20:22:00.002+08:00

Gym's my life.
I like my newfound friends. Tho there's ONE WHOSE BEHAVIOUR IS ONE THAT I ABSOLUTELY CANNOT PREDICT. You know who I'm talking about, don't ya. haha.
I kinda miss my old school. :(
My muscles have absolutely degenerated. I can barely do sit-ups. Which totally sucks.
I'm sleepy. Couldn't sleep last night cuz of some STUPID MOSQUITO. Kept buzzing around my ear.
And they say I'm so random. haha.
Tomorrow, I'm gonna meet Wang Xun aka Ping Pong at Macs at 1pm. Then, we go Beauty World to buy HC uni. Then after that, I GO TRAINING. YAYAYAYAYAYAYA!!!!

Catching up.

2009-01-28T17:20:00.002+08:00

1) Haha, so on sunday, we went to m'sia. Watched Painted Veil, Goddess of Cookery and lots of other stuff there to pass the time. Then had a few rounds of mahjong: I lost RM$4.50. haha. But it wasn't my money, but my cousin's. Then visited one of my cousins. She lives in this cool place. Her house is actually on the SEA. haha, then when the tides come in, the water rises and vice versa. People travel by bicycles or motorcycles there. And it's really scary to walk to her house, cuz, if you miss a step or get hit by an oncoming motorists, you'll fall of the plank and into the sea. haha. Or mud. Full of rodents. And whatnots. They told me one person died, cuz he fell headfirst into the mud, and suffocated. Freaky.
2) Then, came back Monday night. Visited the rest of my relatives in S'pore on Tuesday. Had steamboat at my place. haha. My cousin was crazy. We went to his house. I was with Peggy. (We always stick to each other) Then he came up and said if we wanted to model. HAHA. My first words: But I'm too short. The next thing I said was: Do we get money? haha. Then he showed us the wonderful technology of photoshop. haha. Took a couple of pics of us, then edited them on his whacky hi-tech computer. haha. I dunno. I said I'd think about it.
3) Oh dear... Training's tomorrow. I hope I can do barani.
4) I forgot all about Korea's Boys Before Flowers till yesterday. Haha, so I watched like crazy till now. I finished 7 episodes and am starting on the eighth. haha. That's like about 8 hours I spent on the computer. My eyes are gonna burn out.
5) Aww man, school starts early tomorrow. And I think I've some homework left undone. Okay, gotta go eat dinner now. Chat again another time! :D

whoohoo ANG BAOS

2009-01-27T18:45:00.003+08:00

haha. Just came back from m'sia yesterday. kinda fun. haha. ok shall talk more some other time.

Cheer myself up by looking at... JAY CHOU!!!

2009-01-22T21:03:00.001+08:00

BATTLEFIELD 2

2009-01-22T19:36:00.002+08:00

1) School is ok. I've kinda got used to the fact that we stick out like pins among the haystack. haha. DSA students have their own school uniforms you know. I was gonna buy the hc uni, but then SOMEONE stopped me cuz she wanted someone to train with her.
2) Lectures are okay... Some teachers I kinda like, some I don't. I prefer the High School canteen. It's cheaper and more to my liking.
3) Haha, we've only been to school four days and we've already gone through two tests. One, was OMG GP essay. Like OMG. haha. But basically it was like SS, and since Aly and I did the question before, we just rewrote everything we wrote last time. haha. Then next was MCQ, which was today. Haha. I was walking with Andrea to school, then on the way we were wondering what the MCQ was about. haha. Then I was musing that it would be grammar. But then we both agreed that this wasn't primary school and they wouldn't put us through something like this. HAHA. Then it REALLY did turn out to be grammar!!! Haha. I loved doing it. Haha, really fun. We had 50 mins. I finished in 15 mins. Then spent the rest of the time checking over and then double-checking over as well as calculating the marks that I would surely get. Haha.
4) Man, why is the gym all the way over at the other end of the school??? It SERIOUSLY takes FIFTEEN minutes just to walk all the way over there. And under the HOT SUN as well. Darn.
5) I've been training everyday this week. But it looks like this hasn't any effect on my routine. Today was the worst. Okay, I know I asked for it. You see, it was about barani. (Yes, I finally know how to spell it) I didn't like the fact that I did it the front-pike-then-twist-at-the-end way. Wang Jiao Lian told me to take it easy and just get used to the feeling before doing the nicer looking way. Which is the front-layout-then-twist-at-the-end way. So today, I totally ignored him, and tried to change my barani. Did it into the sponge pit. Then transferred to the tramp. And then I just kept falling and spinning out of control. And Wang Jiao Lian saw, and scolded me. Said I'll never be able to do my old barani anymore and that I'll get hurt. OF WHICH ALL CAME TRUE. I couldn't get back my old barani. And I'm just stucked at the point between front pike and front layout. Worse still, I don't know which way I turn. Cuz when I think about turning, I just think to turn, and not which way I'll turn. Which totally sucks. And then I fell a few times on the crash mat. And there was one time I fell on my left knee. And it formed a bruise within ten seconds. I think it's more serious than usual. Haha, cuz usually my bruises don't hurt till I press them. But this one hurts when I bend my knee. Think it has something to do with bone injury? haha. Anyway, I've one whole week till the next training, so I figure it'll heal by then. And so I left earlier than usual, feeling extremely depressed. Cuz now I can't complete the whole routine without briyani. Oh, btw, today was the first time I did the whole routine on the high tramp. Before I lost my briyani, that is.
6) I found that by skipping lunch, or eating less, I can lose one kg. Haha. So I officially weighed in at 45 kg today, but then after dinner, I weighed one kg more. haha. MY YEAR-END GOAL: To weigh 42.5 kg again. Oh, and I found out that some of the guys at gym, weigh just a tiny bit more than me. Haha. And they're so much taller. Which sucks as it shows how fat I am.
7) I seem to fall sick at the worst times. Haha, last year, I managed to stay healthy until 'O' Levels. YES, I KNOW. WHAT ILL LUCK. So before my geog paper 2, I fell sick. Like quite bad. Fever, cough, runny nose, sore throat. Haha, I was even sick on the day I took the geog paper, and even the next day, when I took the Humans paper. The usual flu bug. And I thought I screwed it up. Haha, turned out, I got an A1 for it.
8) I think right, I only got into HC just for gym. I think I fell in love with its gym at first sight. Maybe I should have tried for RJ, but then, that would be like betraying Mr. Lim. Cuz he and the coach at that side, are supposedly arch enemies. Then maybe I should have just gone into CJ instead. I love the atmostphere there. But cuz there'll be some changes this year, so I decided against it. I think, all this time, I've only been thinking about gym and training. Seriously. Like nothing else gets into my head. I spend sleepless nights just thinking about my routine. Maybe this is some kind of weird obsession. Like I train EVERY SINGLE DAY. I suck. haha.
9) Oh yeah, haha, yesterday was kinda scary. Haha. I was practicing my barani. Then flew out of control and landed on the crash mat, THROAT FIRST. haha. Kinda of hurt. Must have looked bad, cuz everyone gathered around me asking if I was ok. Now, if that wasn't bad enough, I did it again. But this time, I was trying to copy Aki's move. As in going from back-drop backwards to another back-drop. So I tried, and only arched upwards and landed trying to do a handstand, which only resulted in another trashing to my throat. haha. So after that, it kinda hurt, swallowing. And I couldn't really sleep last night, cuz I kept thinking I was gonna drown in blood in my sleep. You know, like internal bleeding or something. Haha, I know I'm paranoid. So don't ask. Anyway, still aches today. Haha, and I think my Adam's apple is swollen. (Yes, I think I have one)
10) So yeah, gymnastics (trampoline) is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. Just from the past two days, I've gotten bad abrasions on my right knee, feet and both elbows. As well as a swollen throat, and a really badly bruised knee. haha. BUT I'M LOVING IT ANYWAY. Oh yeah, it isn't really as bad as it sounds. haha.

New Leaves

2009-01-14T11:04:00.003+08:00

1) That tree outside was completely bare last week, I swear. Now it's bristling with new, green leaves. That's super fast.
2) Made new friends. First, there's Amanda. We only met three times and are now completely fast friends. Haha. Well not really. She bullies me all the time. And questions asked are either never answered, or are diverted to other topics. She's so intolerable, but I can never stay angry at her, cuz she's so darn funny. Then there's Rina. She sleeps late and early for her is 1am. Like omg. And she sleeps in late. Haha like yesterday, I called her at 11.30am and woke her up. Then there's Jia Qi. Hmm, I don't really know her much, cuz I haven't really talked to her. But she seems really nice. Haha. We were talking about how our new trampoline team have pairs of similar names. Like two Amandas and then Jia Qi and Jie Qi. She's the first Jia Qi I know, although people have been telling me that name is fairly common.
3) Went out with Alyssa, Amanda and Rina yesterday. Haha. Jia Qi couldn't come. She had something on. Met at Coro Plaza bus stop. That darn Amanda came half an hour late. haha. We ate at that Prince shop. I think the price went up. And that Man made me so mad, but I couldn't stay mad cuz I was laughing too hard. That was the third time we met. Excluding Alyssa of course. Haha, even she was surprised that we had already become great friends. Then after, we walked to the gym. Amanda and I sort of played on the tramp while Aly and Rina watched. We had games like the most number of sit-drop half turn sit-drops we can do. HAHA. I beat Amanda. By like one. And that's only cuz she grew bored and didn't wanna play anymore. Spoilsport! Then she introduced this game. Like I do a move on the tramp, then the next person copies it and adds one more move and so on. Haha. It was crazy. I won. But that's only cuz she didn't wanna play anymore! So unfair. And it was the most fun I've had in trampoline. For example, the last turn, I did in sequence: backdrop, front pike, face drop, back somer, half-turn backdrop half-turn. Haha. We were all laughing like crazy. Oh yeah, I can do the routine already, since like last last week. Haha, the second time I met Amanda. Cuz she could do it too, and I felt competition, so I rose to meet the challenge and did it! Then mom came, and I had to leave. They left soon after cuz Amanda didn't wanna train alone.
4) Yay, gonna meet the other Amanda today. They tell me she's super good. I wanna see her for myself. Can't wait!
5) Been studying Physics. Sigh, I'm still on Unit 9 out of 22 Units after one week. How long is it gonna take to finish studying. haha gotta return Aly her book. But it's really interesting though. Haha I even brought it to gym training to study. People there stared at me like I was nuts.
6) Yay, finally received my work salary. haha. Hefty amount it is. haha. And then there's Chinese New Year coming up. Whoohooo!!!
7) Oh darn, after I stopped working and starving myself, my weight shot right up again. Sigh.
8) School's starting next monday. Haha. Some of my friends wanna switch uniforms for fun.
9) I think I like my teammates this year. They're real nice and full of fun.
10) Bought a pair of fish-bone flip flops. Haha, mom was so enchanted by it, she wanted to buy another pair for herself.

Reunion lunch

2009-01-01T13:06:00.002+08:00

1) It's spelt barani. haha. Not briyani or bryani. haha. And I finally learnt it! Well, not really. I can only do it from the tramp onto the crash mat. haha.
2) Omg. I still have to work on sunday as well. When will it ever stop?
3) I finally cut my nails on Sunday. haha. It feels great to not have them getting in the way. haha.
4) Hero went back to his owner last week. I kinda miss him. Wonder if he misses me...
5) Made quite a few friends at work. They're Angel, Dong Dong, Ah Beng, Aunt May, Devil, Bing Kun, Audrey, Fish, Sharon, Yi Ting, Hui Lin and Erika. haha. And one Malay guy at the counter whom I thought was chinese. haha.
6) Yesterday was crazy. It was the last day, so we had the porcelain stacked in boxes on the ground and I just sat on the seat with Ah Beng and Angel. Angel and I were yelling out "four for 10 dollars!" at the top of our lungs. People passing by were staring at us and even the owners of shops nearby were laughing. haha. Then Ah Beng stood up and walked away, saying he didn't want to sit next to mad people. haha. But the shouting kinda worked. haha. Managed to sell some stuffs.
7) Watched Drillbit Taylor with Charmaine at my house on Monday. haha. Quite a funny show. Too bad she had to leave right before it finished...
8) We're gonna have a tiny relatives reunion lunch today to start of the year of 2009!
9) Miss my dad. He's gone oversesas again...
10) I lost weight from working. That's good. haha.

HERO'S mine.

2008-12-18T11:10:00.002+08:00

1) That dog I told you about? Well, he loves me best now. haha. I dunno why. Maybe cuz I'm most similar to his owner.
2) I'm busy. Like super busy. No time to even watch my beloved dramas or even come to irritate Mr. Lim during training. It's pure physical hard work. And I can't say I'm really lovin' it. And I can't back out either. Looks like I'm gonna work in January as well as during the weekends when school starts.
3) Tired. Worked 13 and 1/2 hours yesterday. Today, I'm gonna sell porcelain stuffs alone in a bazaar in Tampines. If you can, come support me! The stuffs are really cheap. Like $1. haha. I think I prefer working in Taka. There's air-con. Looks like from now on, I'm gonna shuffle between Taka, Tampines and Toa Payoh.
4) What happened (or rather what is happening) to my holidays??? :(
5) They told me I've to brush up on my Mandarin, Hokkien and bargaining skills. haha. And that I've to act more like a gangster and less high-class. That's for when I work at Tampines and Toa Payoh. haha. So weird!

Twilight was a letdown.

2008-12-14T08:09:00.002+08:00

1) Chalet was greeeaaattttt!!! haha. Turned out, I spent 2 days and 2 nights there. haha. Really fun! We swam and played pool and ate good food and watched Madagascar 2 and rode bikes. Really great. haha. Then we did a lot of retarded things and took videos of it. haha. When I've the time, I'm gonna make a movie of it and upload it on facebook. haha. Really retarded and funny.
2) I near died yesterday. Worked for 12 and a half hours. Meaning I stood near constantly for 15 and a half hours. My feet were in pain. It was near intolerable. Felt like screaming. Stupid concrete floor. So hard. And I can't go training today cuz I'm so freaking tired.
3) Hero, the Japanese Spitz is gonna stay with us for a week. Belongs to my bro's gf. Really reminds me of Snow Ball, Snow Man and Snow White. I miss them so much. Anyway, Hero is so violent. He bites sooo much harder than Snow Ball and doesn't know when he's being scolded. What a pampered dog. And he's got a huge butt.
4) So today I got rest day. To rejuvenate from yesterday's terror.
5) And Hero woke me up at like 7.30am. Was planning to arise from my dead sleep promptly at 11am but he ruined that plan. Well never mind. Gonna watch drama now. So see ya! :D

3, 2, 1... and I'm AWAY!!!

So, welcome to the National Service Resort and Country Club. We still have golf courses, tennis courts, bicycle rentals, and basketball courts.

Yes... That's where I'm going. In about 2 hours, in fact. Haha. Supposed to help mom with the seasoning of the chicken wings. We're gonna have a BBQ first. But it's raining real hard now and the wind is really scary. Dunno how we can have one... We may prepare a special early bdae party for Dad. He may be going off to China tomorrow. :( So this outing is like for the family. Like on my mother's side. So... our family, my first aunt's family, my second aunt's family, my third aunt's family and my uncle's family. haha. I'm thinking of bringing the PS2 there, still playing Final FAntasy X-2, a noe. I'm kinda playing it slow, so that I won't finish the game so fast. haha.

Oh man... I find long fingernails really inconvenient sometimes. Remember how I said that I was gonna grow super long fingernails over the holidays? Well, they're the longest they've ever been in my life now (which isn't very long) and quite annoying. haha. It's really difficult to type and play the piano. But they have their usefulness as well. Like scratching dirt off any surface, looking pretty and most contradictory, they're easier to keep clean than short nails. haha.

Anyway, so I'm taking two days off work. Sigh... Work's so tiring. Dad's making me work every single day. Ugh. But the shift's better now. It's from 10am to 5pm. And lunch hour is actually just 30 mins long only. And then there's just some meanies who don't respond when you smile and talk to them. It's like they're treating promoters like dirt. So anyway, to make my workday a better day... please, all you people reading this post, support me and come down to Takashimaya's Talking Hall in Basement 1! My counter is at the end beside the entrance nearest to the escalators with Kapo and Mikoko. Just make your way towards the area of which all you see are just pink monkeys and buy some! haha. I heard many customers telling these same directions over the phone.

And becuz I've been working the morning shifts, I've had no time to train at all this week. I'm so miserable over this. aaaahhh I miss gym.... But I do love the morning shifts. haha. Cuz I have the whole booth to myself up unto 12 or 2pm. Then I can chitchat with other promoters when no customers are around. I've made quite a few friends. They're: Michelle, Alista, HuiLing, Qi Si, Yi Ting, Erika and some others of whom I haven't learnt their names yet. They're nice and I like them. :D haha. But they speak mostly Chinese, which actually isn't a language barrier at all as I find my Chinese sufficient enough to communicate easily with them. haha. And all of them can tell my brother (who also works there) and I are siblings. Immediately. haha. Even though we never said anything. They said we both look so much alike. As in, I'm the female 'version' and he's the male 'version.' haha. I'm not sure whether that's a good thing...

Okay. That's all I can think of to get off my chest right now. So I'm going to the NSRCC soon. It's a 2-day-one-night stay, I think. Gotta go pack my things now. And finish watching episode 12 of Miss No Good. haha. Yes, I know, it finished a long time ago, but what with work and training, I haven't had the time to watch it. And I wanna watch so many movies!!! ahhhh!!!

haha. Okay. My holidays are probably gonna escape from just out of the reach of my fingers. Gonna work so much. And I'm not doing it for the money. haha. I couldn't have cared less. I guess it's for the experience and that I'm training up so that I can take over my bro next year when he goes to NS. haha.

Okay. That's all. See ya. And Aly, please call me okay? Wanna talk to you. Alright, ciao people!!!:D

..................

2008-12-01T12:10:00.002+08:00

1) Got a job. haha. I work in Taka now, promoting Kapo and Mikoko and some other stuffs. Wearing the batch that says 'Promoter' makes me feel so grownup! haha.
2) I officially hate new shoes now. Look what a pair has done to my feet. I had to wear a total of eight band-aids on my feet yesterday. Hurtin' like hell. Blisters all over. And I've to stand the whole day. 12.30 to 8pm. And eat dinner in the staff canteen alone. What a loner. haha. But that's cuz we have to take shifts. Me and my other colleagues. haha. But I work with my bro. Kinda fun.
3) I'm so not a pro at this job. Yes, I managed to sell a few items here and there, but not as many as my bro can sell. hmm. Dunno why. Maybe cuz aunties are attracted to his wholesome good look. Then, they want to make him happy or something. haha.
4) I just woke up at 12pm this morning... or afternoon. HAHA.
5) And I missssssss gym soooooo much!!! I think I gained weight again. haha.
6) And my skills as a pianist have been deteriorating without constant practice and guidance by a teacher after I stopped my piano lessons in March. poooh.
7) During the holidays, I'm gonna grow my fingernails as long as I possibly can. haha. Just for fun. Cuz I never really had them long before.
8) And my eating habits are in disorder. haha. Like yesterday, I ate branch at 11, then dinner at 5. haha. The day before, I ate breakfast, then a choc waffle for lunch and then a fillet burger for dinner. I thought I was gonna lose weight for this, but seems like I gained weight. haha.
9) Ugh. I long for the day when I reach the 42 kg mark. sigh. I've to wait long long for this.
10) Holidays don't feel like holidays anymore when you start working. Right now, I think going to school is soooo much less tiring than working. haha.

2008-11-28T22:43:00.002+08:00

1) I'm still crazy over jay chou. haha.
2) My 7-year-old watch died on me. waahhhh. sobsobs. It's never left my wrist. Except of course when I sleep and bathe. I even take it swimming. haha. So I got a new one in M'sia. Didn't want it. To me, it's either I keep wearing a dead watch, or wear none at all. But mom insisted. haha. And I was tearing a little over it and the salesgirl took pity on me and gave away two free bags as well. haha. I miss my old watch. It rocks. The best watch in the world. And has made me a fan of Swatch. Okay, the last four sentences kind of rhymed.
3) Started work today. Not my first time. Sucked though. My shoes deteriorated on me. Ten years-old. Haven't worn it once 'cept for today. So one sole came halfway off and the color peeled away. Embarassing to have to take MRT back in them. Limping the whole way so that people couldn't see the sole flapping. haha. Though, I couldn't stop the 'flapping' noise.
4) It's been one day without training and I miss it terribly already. I wanna keep learning briyani!!!

blissbliss

2008-11-27T20:46:00.002+08:00

1) I'm currently hooked on Final Fantasy X-2. omg. I just love the Final Fantasies. The movies and the games.
2) I've been training a bit. Today, I trained for the third time. Sigh. And I'm proud to say that I have regained my height. Though only for straight jumps. I still don't dare to jump high for moves. haha. ooh. And Mr. Lim taught me how to do briyani (is that how you spell it?) today!!! Yayyyyy sooo happy!!! It's like front pike with twist. Or front layout with twist. Mr. Lim say it's up to you to choose. Which one is easier. I dunno. Front pike is easier. But I think front layout is better. Thing is, I don't dare to do front layout cuz I don't know how to do it. haha. Anyway, so I tried to do a few front pikes first on the red jumpy thingy into the sponge pit. Then, Mr. Lim told me to do a twist at the end. So I asked him how to turn. And he just said look back. So that's what I did. And guess what! I could do it! YAYAYAYAY!!! haha. So of course it sucks. Myra told me it looked more like a front pike with a twist at the end. haha. I could tell I was still in front pike position when I turned. sigh. So I tried a lot more times with Mr. Lim coaching on the way. Um. I think I sort of improved. But I still haven't straightened out and arched completely at the end. Cuz I'm supposed to sort of like kick upwards as I turn. And I'm flying way too much forward and never jump up enough. haha. Hope I can do it on the tramp soon! :D
3) And my good mood has just been ruined by one person.

IT'S BEEN LONG PEOPLE

2008-11-20T21:42:00.003+08:00

TOO LONG since I last blogged. sigh. Miss blogging. Ugh. I'm getting too lazy. Okay, let's start from where I last left off.

1) The 'O' Levels. That's right. Once students hear of this, their mouths drop open to form the shape 'O', hence the name. So I just had mine. Ended last thursday. Uhm. Hmm. How did I do, you ask. Well.... heehee. Uhm. Do I really have to say this. Well, I guess I'm screwed. haha. Okay, here's the super duper scary news. I started studying three days before it started. Here's the better news. When I say "studying", I mean SERIOUS studying. Meaning before that, I was already doing my chem TYS. Okay. That's all I was doing before that. I admit. I'm such a procrastinator.
2) But that doesn't mean I'm screwed for the exams. Cuz it was stretched out over four weeks. And since I only take nine subjects, I had plenty of time to study for those individual subjects.
3) So... let's start with English. Uhm. I did my best effort for this. Like, I really studied the essays. Which isn't saying much since I NEVER study for English anyway. Except for the formats of letter writing. Uhm. After both papers, I felt SUPER good. But I really can't say how I did. Just that I felt good. I had humor in one of my essays. Not sure if that's good or not...
4) Okay, next is Chemistry. Man, I studied so HARD for this. Remember I just said I studied only three days before 'O' Levels right? Well, those three days were spent studying chemistry. Yep. And it was HARDCORE studying. So by the next day, which was chem exam, I SOOOO knew my stuff, and felt as confident as I never felt before. The paper was fantastic. For my standards. Which isn't saying much. One regret, there was an answer worth two marks that I KNEW but just didn't think of. ARGH! And then paper one was a HUGE LET-DOWN. Although I still attain above 80%, I expected full marks. I'm so mad and dissappointed over it that I don't even one to say what I got. Okay, you're probably wondering, how do I know what I got, rite? Well, I checked my answers with all my friends. So yeah. So, paper one was okay... paper two I don't know... and SPA was screwed. Ugh. I don't know if I can get an A for chem, let alone an A1...
5) And here comes Biology. Hmm... What can I say...? Paper was so-so. I can't tell how I did. Paper one was a LETDOWN as well. Instead of full-marks, I lost two marks due to carelessness. Ugh!!! Oh well. Still above 90%. But SPA was screwed as well... I too, don't know if I can get an A1 for it...
6) Social Studies. Ew... I spotted three out of five themes. And actually out of that three themes, I only knew one really well. And for that one really well, I only knew one part of the chapter of that one really well. haha. confusing. So I was kinda hoping that would come out. Since I practically memorised that part of the book. Hmm. Regret. I spent too much time on Section A. So, I couldn't finished both essays. But if what my teacher said was correct, I should still be able to get an A for the essays. So all now depends on SBQ. Hope I did it correctly...
7) Lit. AHAHAHAH. Never studied. Only read book and notes. Uhm. We were SOOO lucky!!! The poem at the end was actually tested for our prelims as well. I mean, isn't this unbelievable!!!And what's more unbelievable is that, I didn't study my prelim answers. haha. So made no difference except that I kinda had more time to understand the poem. And WHAT'S MORE UNBELIEVABLE is that my answers were actually the answers stated inthe prelim answers. HAHAH. I'm so lucky. Anyway, that's only for section B. I'm screwed for section A. Just know it. haha.
8) Geography. hehehe. Didn't put my heart into it. Or rather, my head. Ill luck for this. There were three days of free time before the paper 2. And I had to fall sick during those three days and on the day of the paper itself. Darn it. And I was careful to take fruits too! Sore throat, runny nose and fever. Ugh. I couldn't study with the headaches at all. Even when I spent three whole days just sitting in front of the table copying down the whole textbook, not a single thing got into my head. Even mom gave up on me. I'm still pissed at her for doing that. Turned out, Trish was a great help. It seems that whatever I test her, I remember. Weird. So, with good luck coming to me again, a question that I tested her on came out, and I SO totally answered it. haha. Actually, paper 1 was bad. But paper 2 was GREAT. haha. Maybe they'll average out and I'll do okay...
9) Then I had e maths, a maths and art. Let me just say, they were SUPERB. I felt soooooooo good after the paper. (hope it wasn't overconfidence) But I double-checked my answers with my friends, and I got A1 for the papers for both maths. Of course, I can't really tell what I'll get in the end, as it all depends on how everyone else did... Art paper 1 was fantastic. I don't know for paper 2, but I think I'll get B3 for it. So maybe they'll average out as well, and I'll be fine...
10) So overall, I feel slightly satisfied about the 'O' Levels. Funny though. I don't feel sad at all. About leaving SCGS, I mean. hmm...

Really busy after 'O's. On that day itself, we had rehearsal for graduation. And after, I went out with Trish, Patty and Huda to watch Quantium of Solace (is that how you spell?)

Then on Friday I had to go Rachel's house in the morning. Then we had a meeting at school in the afternoon. Then at night we had Graduation Day.

Saturday, I spent 8 hours working for Dad. Really tiring. But kinda worth it, especially since I got pay for it. haha.

Sunday, I had to meet Rachel again. I just love her dogs. Once is a golden retriever and the other is some breed I can never remember. It's black and white and she calls it coco. haha.

Then Monday we had to go for the rehearsal and then it was Prom Night. haha. Rachel and I were the emcees. And we were so enthusistic about making the best script ever. So we decided to write our own scripts then combine them together. I spent 3 hourse on mine while Rachel spent 6 hours on hers. haha. Guess who wrote the better script? haha. Can't really say. Though I would say hers is the best. So we meshed our script together and the resultant script was manificent. The plot was Rachel's. The songs and spice were all mine. Oh, and I also came up with the idea of getting Mr. Lau to be the Phantom. HAHA. Okay, as the theme for the prom was Masquerade, and since we're both in love with the Phantom of the Opera, our script was of course, about the Phantom of the Opera. We were the two managers of Opera Populaire. Haha. I knew it was the best script we've ever came up with. You see, Rachel and I always work together as emcees. It's like we have chemistry. haha. And our script was like a musical. Super funny and entertaining. Anyway, we received several good feedback after prom night from friends, teachers, vice principals and principal. haha. We had the audience laughing every time we came out. I loved doing it. Emceeing and making the audience laugh, I mean. And although I didn't manage to enjoy or even eat one quarter of the 8 course meal at the hotel, I don't regret being emcee. It's like my calling. haha. Maybe when I grow up, I'll become an emcee for some event. haha. Like the MTV awards. haha. Get real. Like I will.

Then we had class party on Tuesday. I sooooo didn't feel like going. I felt really tired after prom night, what with all the worrying over if our unique script will cause a controversy and if it will be a success or not. And after all the partying, I didn't feel like having fun anymore. Just wanted to stay home and snooze. But Trish forced me to go. You know I can't deny Trish her Wish since she's a Fish. HAHA. Lame... So I went there, and just sat down. Didn't swim, like I usually do at class parties. Didn't feel like it. Mom was a savior. She fetched me there and back.

Today's uhm. Wednesday? No Thursday. Ugh then what did I do yesterday??? AHHH CAN'T REMEMBER!!! Darn it. I really can't remember what I did yesterday... I do remember I went out for dinner... But I can't remember anything else. freak. I really do suffer from short-term memory loss.

Okay. Today, drag myself out of bed by 8. Got to HC to train by 9.30. Was greeted cheerfully by juniors and wang jiao lian. Mr. Lim made me do 50 pushups for greeting him. Weird. And I'm soooo fat now. I gained like 3 kgs in 4 months. Crazy right? But it's not surprising, seeing how I exercised (or the lack of exercise) during 'O's. All I did in the months leading up to it was eat, sit down and do exercises and sleep. haha. So training was a terror today, especially since I haven't jumped the trampoline for SEVEN months. Totally lost my touch and coordination with the trampoline. Was so tired after a few jumps due to shortened stamina and my heart hurt like hell. Too much workload for my flabby heart, I guess. Haha. And I was flying all over the trampoline and landing in weird postions on the tresh mat. My juniors stood transfixed, as they gazed at live entertainment before them, or that's what one of my juniors said. Grr. They were laughing so much. haha. Yeah, I guess I kinda looked funny landing on my butt all over. haha. And then after, we had to go for a lunch at sakura. It was supposed to be a farewell party for the seniors. haha. but half the seniors didn't even turn up. But the coaches came as well! So it was quite fun. Ate soooo much my stomach was gonna burst. Then I went shopping with the coaches. haha. Quite fun. Went around Robinsons, looking at stuff. Then Zhang Lao Shi was so nice. She bought me a bottle and I didn't even know her intentions until she was at the counter. haha. And I just needed a bottle too. Cuz I lost the bottle I got for my bdae that Marisa gave me just weeks after. haha.

So... tomorrow I gotta attend Patricia's party. Kinda owe her one, since I didn't write a letter for her...

Um. So training officially starts next week. Yay. Met my to-be-senior today. Her name is... Jean I think that's what she said. They're really nice. Came up to me and introduced themselves. Told me training will start next week. Yes, I know I already said that. Thing is, lao shi wants me to train in SC as well, cuz there's only xinmin jumping on the tramp so she has more time and attention to focus on me. Ugh. I really dunno. Mom's not really supporting the fact that I have to start training as early as now.

haha. Oh yeah, now I'm totally hook on two dramas. They're Miss No Good, which is currently airing and Loveholic which was made in like 2005 but for some reason has escaped my attention til now. And I'm totally crazy over Pet's Society in Facebook. haha. It's really cute. Of course it gets boring after all. But I've got strong motivation to designed the best-looking house. haha. So I'm like saving up a lot of money first before I go buy any furniture. All my friends use up all their money buying furniture that aren't high-end. hahah. I'd rather not do that. So that's why now I have over 10,000 coins. And I've only spent 500 coins in shops so far. haha. Uh, why am I talking about this. haha.

haha. And I've got Dad twirled around my little finger. haha. I'm his baby girl. He does anything I want. Well, to an extent, that is.

woohoo. I know reading a super long post is really tiring and boring. But it gives me great satisfaction after writing it, especially after a long absence from blogging. haha. I spent three hours typing this. haha. Mainly cuz in between paragraphs, I'm uploading pics onto Facebook, playing Pets Society and watching Loveholic. haha.

Anyway, I look terrible on Prom Night. Everyone said I looked like a grandma from the 80s. Well I don't care, cuz even though it wasn't intentional, I did look the part for the manager of Opera Populaire. HAHA.

So, I guess I'm just about at the end of my most probably longest post ever. I don't expect anyone to even read this post. haha. But who cares. I'm just blogging to let out my feelings and thoughts. Okay. It's almost 12.30am. And I'm tired. Still gotta finish the drama episode. Gotta publish the post now. So see ya people!

P.S. Now I've gotten back into reading the Archie's comics to fill up the time waiting for things. Except those comics are like a decade old which belong to my bro and I've already read them for like a dozen times. haha.

DID NASA REALLY SEND A MAN TO THE MOON?

Pictures show the US flag flapping in the wind.

The thing is... there is NO atmosphere on the moon.

So was it REAL or was it FAKED OUT?

Why would NASA fake this...?

MY COUSIN TALKED TO JAY CHOU

2008-09-04T20:42:00.002+08:00

OMGOMGOMG! haha. He said it was a kind of volunteer thingy and he went up for it. So his job was to escort Jay Chou after his concert to his hotel. It was in LA. (My cousin was staying there) Anyway, they got into this half SUV half limo car. He said Jay Chou could speak fluently enough in English and was quite lean. Cool! haha.

1) I found that the only motivation for me to do work now is to make bets. haha. I made a bet with Trish today to see who's faster in completing the maths homework. I just finished three em papers today. urgh. Pure agony. I was thinking about dramas the whole time...

2) Wore a tie and HOT PINK bermudas to school on friday. haha. They said I looked like "orang guni man???" How do you spell that? haha.

3) Yay. Going to watch Wall-E with Aly and gym people on friday. Been waiting for this for months! :D

4) Haha. Anyway, for these past three days of holidays, I have:

Watched five episodes of the korean drama "Cruel love"

Read one and a half books

Played two hours on PS2 "Shadow Hearts"

Gone on Facebook for at least one and a half hours

Done six maths papers

Watched Fields of Dreams and one third of Pirates of the Carribean: Dead Man's Chest

Ate a LOT

Talked to myself...

5) Haha. I'm going crazy. It's like, o levels just so near, and I'm starting to panic. AHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHHA..................

6) By the way, I had another bet on friday. I told my friends I could eat my plate of rice, vegetables, fish and fried fish in under three minutes. haha. So Marisa timed me. Haha. I finished in two minutes and 19 sec. HAHA. But then after that, I got indigestion... Serves me right. haha.

scratch scratch....

2008-08-23T15:27:00.002+08:00

Hmm. Nah life's too boring to talk about here...

I am proud to announce that Kingdom Hearts 4 is coming out in a few months. YAYYYY!!! Or at least... that's what my bro said...

Ugh. I've just read three books in one week. My aunt's invited me to stay with her family in the USA at the end of this year for one month. I hope mom says ok... But then, I want to stay and train for gym as well... And then Vivian has also asked me to come with her to Taiwan... AND THEN my dear tuition teacher asked me to come to Shanghai with her as well! AHHHHH!!! HOW DO I CHOOSE??? All of them mean a lot to me! And I want to go to all three places!!! And I also want to stay as well!! HAHA. Aww man.... what a difficult choice...

Haha. And I just realized I have five computers and three laptops and three printers at home. Talk about excess. haha. Two computers and two printers don't work anyway. haha. I remember I used to have four tvs as well! But it's just down to one now...

Mom's a great help sometimes. She helps me do stuffs that I can't see other friends' moms doing. haha. Thanks mom, appreciate your support. :D

You can tell I look drenched. All thanks to Jocelyn Caritas and E lyn pouring cold water on me:D

HAHA. And then Jocelyn and Caritas gave me a surprise bdae visit today! haha. I was darn surprised lah, but cuz I was so unprepared, I didn't show any emotions. Then they looked so disappointed cuz they expected me to be screaming and crying. haha. but my bro was sleeping and if I woke him up he'd yell at me...haha. But thank you so much J & C! haha. JC. How ironic. okok. Then they said to be prepared for another post bdae visit tomorrow! haha. Crazy pair of girls! Jocelyn told me she took 4 buses and 2 hrs to get to my house. Ugh. Are you trying to make me feel guilty? Cuz it's working! haha. They gave me a helium balloon!!! Yipee! I love it! My very first bdae helium balloon! haha. I know, what a loser man. haha. Thank you so much!!! I love you guys lah....

2008-07-20T10:37:00.002+08:00

1) I really really hope I can go to the book sale today! Bought two books from it a few years ago. They weren't half bad! And they're in good conditions and cheap too!
2) My birthday's today! yay. Happy sweet sixteen to me!!! I can watch NC16 movies now without sneaking in! hooray!!! haha.
3) Friday was the best! After gym comp, (our C DIV girls won 1st omg!) I went out with Daphne, Jocelyn, E-Lyn and Caritas to Ang Mo Kio Hub. We went to watch The Dark Night. Haha. It was good and I jumped a few times. haha. So embarassing... Then we rushed to meet Shi Ying and Marisa at the MRT. Then Daphne had to go back. Poo, couldn't say bye to her. Caught a bus back home. haha on the way we just missed Slow, Elaine, Abigail and Whitley. haha. I called them and waved. By the time we got to the BBQ pit, I turned around and went back. There were so many freaking people!!! haha. So we went up to my house first, put our bags down. haha. Then I told them I wanted to change. So they left me in my room. haha. But then I came out earlier than they expected. So I saw them trying to light a surprise bdae cake for me! haha. They all screamed and pushed me back in. Man, you guys could have at least stood guard at the door or something ya noe... haha. but the cake was delicious!!! Yummy cheese cake! haha. Then Sarah Chia and Amanda came and surprised me!! I was so freaking happy! They told me they weren't coming. And it's really hard to surprise me cuz I'm always doing the surprising. haha. Then we went downstairs and let Elaine, Slow, Abigail and Whitley in through the back gate. haha. They were so high. Kept saying corny and gave me a humongous corn ice cream! haha. Sadly, it wasn't edible. Then we went for the party. Haha. It was also my bro's gf's bdae. Then Michelle came. So 30 of their friends came as well. haha. 30 vs 13 of us. intimidating. There wasn't enough food to go around cuz more friends came then expected. haha. We had hot dogs, potatoes, chicken, garlic bread, marshmallows, watermelons, cucumbers and carrots. As well as drinks. Not much. But then we only expected 30 people to come. Not over 40! haha. Then stupid Jocelyn got me wet. So I had to go change again. Then after that, Jocelyn, Caritas and E Lyn poured cold water down my back!!! ARgh. It was agony you guys. I'm so gonna get you! Then they splased me all over. Ugh. haha. Then Theresa and I cut the bdae cakes. haha. Everyone was clamouring for the pieces with hearts on them. Haha. But I gave them to my family. Then they started leaving so early. Booohoo... So we went up to open my presents and play cards. Toot lah. You know I have this personal rule of never opening present until it's after my bdae. But then they forced me to open :( haha. but it was so funny. Some presents were thoughtful and well meaning, others were simply hilarious and jaw dropping. haha. I got a Jay Chou poster from Fun Juin!!! YAy I was screaming when I saw it. haha. Thanks fun Juin!!! haha. so everyone went home. Then I went to sleep. haha. It was such a fun day. In fact, it was the only and best bdae party I ever had in my life! Thank you so much everyone for coming. Thanks Marisa(I thought you couldn't come), Shi Ying, E-Lyn(you came even tho you had a dinner), Jocelyn(you stayed even tho you felt awkward), Daphne(your parents didn't know where you were), Michelle, Amanda and Chia(you surprised me!), Elaine and Slow and Whitley and Abigail(for coming last minute) and haha James(flew all the way from the Philippines) for coming!!! THANK YOU ALL!!! :D:D:D I'm so happy!!!
3) So, that was a really fun day. Great friday! Good cake! haha. :D:D:D

OH MY GOOOOOOODDDDD

2008-07-14T19:32:00.002+08:00

When I came back home this afternoon, I detected a slight distinctive smell of durians in the air. Since all doors were shut tight, I wondered where it came from.

Then I walked into the kitchen, and was greeted by a sight that would be pure heaven to some or pure hell to others. In my case scenario, it was pure heaven. HAHA. One whole corner of the kitchen was LITERALLY filled up with durians. The only thing I could do was just stand there gawking and saying "oh my god" three times. The next thing I then did was grabbed the phone and called my dad to demand what all this hucas was about. haha. He said my grandma brought them over and that there were 30 plus durians in all. OMG. Over THIRTY durians??? haha. Unbelievable. Haha. Looks like we'll be having durians every meal for the next week! Yipee!!!

BBQ

2008-06-29T18:23:00.002+08:00

1) Ok. Maybe saturdays aren't so bad anymore. Or maybe yesterday was just an exception. We had a BBQ party! Hooray. Some relatives came over. The kids wanted to swim, so we were "forced" to look after them. Haha. I wanted to swim as well, but my niece, Peggy didn't want to. So I didn't. haha. Then since the BBQ pit is right next to the swimming pool, we could like run from the swimming pool to the BBQ pit to eat and then back again. haha. Then we wanted to swim, but since we didn't want to go all the way upstairs, we just waded in the baby pool. haha. Sometimes, I just love kids. They do whatever you ask them to. haha. So I was like, eh go get us heated marshmallows. And then they'll obediently do it. haha.
2) Then after the BBQ we had durians. Haha. I went with mom earlier to the market. We bought FOURTEEN durians. haha. Then had to drag them all the way back. to our car. They were so darn heavy! I was about to tell mom I probably got the heavier ones, it went like this:
"Hey mom, I think I got - OW!"
Haha. I was careless, then the durians brushed against my leg. haha. They left scratches which bled a bit. haha. Mom just laughed. toot. haha.
3) Oh yeah, my bro's gf brought a JAPANESE SPITZ. Woohoo! I love them. He's only three months old. So cute!!! I'm an absolute dog-lover!
4) So anyway, Peggy and I lazed around after that. We took dozens of pics. Did retarded stuffs. Like gelling our hair. haha.
5) Hmm. Peggy. I'm not gonna upload all the pics here. It takes too long. So I'm gonna upload them on photobucket k? Just search the sidepanel for the link. :D

FRIGGIN' COOL

2008-06-16T23:42:00.003+08:00

I heard of this from Yi Ting. I was like OMG when I heard it. Then Yi Ting was laughing cuz she said she gets the same reaction every time she shows it to someone. Haha. Go check it out. The reason why I'm not telling you anything about this is cuz I want you to get a full shock. Haha. There's nothing special in the beginning. But wait til you get to the chorus. Haha. I bet your mouth will drop open. Haha. It's currently one of my fav songs. haha.

I'm finally reading Eclipse! Yaya. Borrowed from Michelle. Haha. She lent it to me on the condition that in no way would I damage it. haha. I dropoped the egg tart I was eating on the third page. HAHA. No lah. It's not as bad as it sounds. Just crumbs. haha.

Dad's come home! Yahoo!!! What was supposed to be a week-long trip turned to twice that. haha. yay. But. He said he's going on another trip that would take a month. Toot. That's like twice that amount.

It's nearing the end of the third week of vacation and so far, I havn't really rested yet. Stupid remedials and stuff. I havn't even finished my PS2 game for toot's sake. haha.

HAPPY

2008-06-08T22:49:00.003+08:00

Haha. So happy. Today we finally had our Primary 6 get-together after FOUR years! HAHA

I was so shocked. haha. Cuz everyone had changed so much. They all grew so much more mature, taller, prettier/handsomer... And only I had stayed the same... :( haha. But it was so fun and good to get together. Felt like the old times again. haha. Except some people didn't come... haha but it's ok. :D At least more than half the class turned up, I think.

So we met outside ATS bus stop. Then took a bus down to thomson plaza. We ate there. Then took a bus and MRT to Kallang Mall. (I think that's what it's called) They wanted to bowl but Charmain, Yi Ling and I wanted to watch Kungfu Panda. Haha. So we separated for awhile. Haha the show was darn funny! One of the best animation I've ever watched! haha. I was laughing so hard. hahahahaha.... ok. Then after, we walked around the mall, looked at people playing arcade, tried on clothers, shopped for cute stuffs. haha. Then we took group pictures then left for home. Haha. All in all, it was really fun and enjoyable. haha. I still can't get over the fact that everyone changed so much! It's great! I can't even recognize most of them. haha.

okok. here are some pics from the outing. Yi Ling and I were the cameraman. Haha. we were like so extra...

Yi Ling and I

Yi Ling, Me and Charmaine ( we were good friends. still are!)

Rebecca, Winnie and Willabelle. Haha. Miss them a lot.

Thomas, Jonathan and Yi Chen. Omg they grew so tall!

Just about everyone :D

2008-06-03T17:13:00.002+08:00

1) Alliteration, assonance, consonance.
2) I practically wasted my day away yesterday. Played PS2. I'm hooked on a game now. It's called Shadow Hearts. Quite ok. But Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy still remain at the top of the list. Then I watched a movie. Then I read a book. haha. I'm all fun and games. hee. Though I aim to finish all my homework by Sunday. Then I can focus on finishing my coursework. The last week is reserved for studying and playing. haha. Though I'll probably play more than I study. Haha.
3) Aaaahhhh... It's been about 8 months since my computer broke down. Aaahhhh. My three thousand songs were in there. ugh. Now they're all gone...... And now I've only like 218 songs to listen to... ppooohhh. And they're mostly chinese. Haha. I don't mind though.
4) Promised Chia I'd draw her a nice picture today and give her tomorrow.
5) Cya. Gotta draw anime and cut15 pieces of cardboard tonight. :)

Seagulls

2008-05-31T23:05:00.002+08:00

1) Dad's gone overseas again. He won't be back for a week. :(
2) Haha. So mom begged me to go sleep with her. I was so reluctant, preferring the privacy of my cosy room. And then she insisted on not having the air-con on for environmental issues. And then she had the windows thrown wide open (ok they can't be thrown open, you have to slide them open. Haha) so that the cool forest air could circulate the room. ugh. I bet various bugs and insects could circulate as well. haha.
3) Hmm. I don't know what as to say. Haha.
4) Okay. There's this tree that grows right up to the windows. All year long, I'd watch the life cycle repeat itself on the branches. New leaves would grow, then flowers. Then the bees would come. Annoying bees. Always come buzzing around my ears. Then seeds grow. Then leaves look very old. Then somehow seeds disappear. Then more new leaves grow. Then the whole cycle repeats itself. Right now, there're new leaves growing. Haha. Kinda cool right? haha.
5) And we see all kinds of birds here. White birds, black birds, blue birds, you name it, we have it. They're so noisy in the morning. Especially around 7am. That's why I woke up at that time this morning. Cuz their birdsongs woke me up. Haha. Fancy that. Like cinderella waking up to the call of her birds. Haha. Okay. Whatever. Haha.
6) Oh. And then we get fog. Not that fog comes rolling through our windows. But the fog's in the forest, which is really near. Haha. Okay. You can call it morning mist. haha. I love my home. And no, I'm not Snow White living in her cottage out in the woods. Haha. Though now that I think of it, this really sounds like that. haha!
7) I've had this home since I was two. Haha. I don't wanna move out of it. Sigh.
8) Hmm. Don't really know what else there is to say... hmmm... oh yeah. There was one time when the moon shone so bright, that its gleams literally lit up the whole room. My mom's room, that is. It was the only room that faced the moon at that time. Man. It was soooo coool. No wonder all those fantasy novels talked about reading by the moonlight or there was no moonlight to fight by. Man. Uber cool.
9) Okay. Really can't think of anything else to say. Night people.

stubby, swollen fingers

2008-05-28T21:03:00.003+08:00

1) hahaha... There was no school for the others except those taking physics SPA today. But poor art people gotta come do artart. Artart no funfun. ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU AGREED WITH EVERYONE THAT WE'D ALL COME AT NINE AND THEN IT TURNED OUT YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE WHO BOTHERED TO TURN UP SO EARLY. okay. Fine. Maybe Teen Li was there earlier than me. But that was because she had physics SPA and instead of doing art she was doing homework. And that darn Jocelyn. Urgh. When I think of her steam come out from my ears. I just KNEW she wouldn't come at nine. Ha. Guess what time she came. 11.54. Yep. Just about three hours later. AAAAHHHHh.....
2) And what disses me off the most is that it's so obvious that I'm one of the most hardworking ones in art (yes I admit), and yet the rest finish off earlier than me. I just realize that I cut about 100 boards of cardboard today. And they aren't just thumbnail size. Each board is about 36.1 cm by 53.2 com. And I've to the salvage these pieces from dirty, recycled cardboards. The worst thing is that since you're cutting, you can't sit down or you won't be able to cut it accurately. So think about it, I've been standing for a solid seven hours excluding lunch hour. Throbbing fingers feel extremely raw and mutilated. Not to mention my aching back from bending over. Poor feet. Haha. I feel as if I were working at my dad's office last last year's December holidays.
3) Sigh. Ms toh did tell me that my coursework would be the most tedious and time-consuming of all the others. And that it was precisely because I was hardworking that she let me do it. I'm just so pissed off now. Cuz it's just taking so long... How am I going to finish this and the last two prepatory boards by next next week? Omg............. I don't want to think about it. And cutting boards over and over again for a hundred times is just so freaking depressing. And most of the time we don't talk cuz we need to concentrate on our courseworks.
4) Geog mock exam is tomorrow. Havn't studied yet. But because I'm so freaking down I'm not giving a toot about it. I hope it'd be like yesterday's one. I didn't study for yesterday's geog exam, but I think I'd pass it. It was easy in a way. Ahhhhh.............
5) Even when I heard June holidays were starting, I wasn't at all thrilled. They give us remedials. And I have art. It's even worse than normal school days. Have to stay back till five every single day. And because Yus, ET and I are putting up a performance, we have to meet every Sunday as well. Ugh. and I still gotta crack my head on DSA.
6) Haha. I finally slept at nine yesterday for the second time this year. Yay. But I'm still sleepy. Haha. But when I woke up this morning, I felt really refreshed. Sleeping well really helps your day. :D People my age should sleep a healthy nine hours a day. Hey, don't laugh. I've read it in the newspapers before. It's been scientifically proven. Children should sleep ten hours. Adults, eight. haha. Maybe I'll grow up to be a scientist. haha. But the career of an interior designer best suits me I think. haha.
7) Sigh. Shall be a good girl and cram some geog now. Ciao! :D:D:D:D:D

2008-05-25T12:36:00.003+08:00

1) Haha. So funny. I called Michelle three times in a row this morning. haha. Cuz I was so confused over what geog mock paper was coming first. Haha.
2) Anyway, chinese o levels tomorrow and I haven't studied for it yet.
3) Geog mock paper 2 is on tuesday, and I haven't studied yet.
4) Geog mock paper 1 is on thursday, and guess what? Haha. Havn't studied yet.
5) haha. So basically, you can tell I'm a procrastinator. I just don't get why I'm not nervous yet. I mean hello! Chinese o levels are tomorrow. You haven't studied. And you're still not panicking??? What's wrong with you man? And all you think about is dramas? Sigh. I wonder what I've been doing these days. But I seemed to be so busy. But I'm not really doing anything. okay. Maybe I've been doing a lot of admin work. Hmmmm....
6) Should I take AEP in JC? Is it worth it? Do I really like art that much? Which JC should I go to? Would I want to be in gym for the two years I will spend in JC? All these questions keep running around in circles. Hmmmmmmmm......................

I just realized I'm crazy over Apologise by One Republic

2008-05-22T20:20:00.002+08:00

1) You wouldn't believe it. haha. Ever since Mom refused to cultivate me into a spoilt brat about one and a half years ago, I'd been forced to go home myself. Anyway, so after gym today, lao shi came up and asked if I did live in Ang Mo Kio. I was like not really, but somewhere around there. Then she said she'd give me a ride. I was like omg, really? Then she showed me her ride. I was so flabbergasted, I couldn't say anything. Haha, I didn't know whether to jump in excitement, laugh or just not react at all. Haha. At first, I thought it was some van. But then, it turned out to be a pick-up truck. HAHA. I was like, are you kidding me? haha. But then I figured it would be fun to try it for the first time in my life. haha. The only other time I'd ridden on a vehicle in the open was on a motorbike with my dad aeons ago in Malaysia. I remember I was just a small frightened kid then. Haha. Anyway, I ran back to get my bags. Then I was like, how do you get up there? Haha. Anyway, I somehow managed to get on. And then we were off! haha. It was so cool and fun and embarrassing. Haha. I was asking lao shi how she felt when everyone in the cars stared at us. She said she was already used to it. haha. Then I wondered how to get off. Haha. But I just jumped off in the end. Haha. It was uber fun. One of the greateset experience in my life! Haha.
2) So I learnt front pike land today. Well, not really. Haha. I only can do it once in like a zillion times. Haha. Lao shi wants me to do front layout for the briyani. (however you spell it) But Mr. Lim wants me to do the front pike way. He say it makes me go higher. Lao shi says the layout makes it look nicer. haha. And then she says I do my back layout weirdly. haha. As in I never bring my hands up. But then I heard Mr. Lim say last time to keep your hands at the side. haha. Okay never mind. Haha. yay. Once I learn the briyani, I can do the A div routine! Hooray. Can't wait! Haha.
3) I've been looking at my sec one and two's class photos. haha. I was really chubby! And most of my friends then have changed so much.

thunderstorm in my head

2008-05-20T17:26:00.004+08:00

I've got so many stuffs to do.

1) Prepare my personal portfolio

2) Prepare all the documents and certificates for application for DSA

3) Getting these documents certified

4) Get a 15cm long plasticine sculpture that has to be so accurate that if I enlarge it ten times bigger, it will still be proportionate by tonight
5) Throw in a geog paper by tonight and two ss essays by thurs

And to top it off, I need to decide/confirm which JC I really want to go to. Huhh.... I dunno...

And Chinese 'O' Levels is on monday. Ugh. I'm so dead. Geog mock exams are next week as well. Haven't studied for that either.

Haha. And I still had time over the long weekend to find and watch a new drama called 命中注定我愛你. Haha. Not to mention, I also watched 翻滾吧!蛋炒飯. HAHA. AS WELL AS Zettai Kareshi. Haha. They're all relatively new dramas out this year. Darnnn niceeeeee!!! I rate them a 4 out of 5. As good as Hana Kimi (Taiwan version) though not as good as Hanazakari no kimitachi e (Japanese version). Uhahaha. Of course Coffee Prince remains the best. Haha. Not to mention Nodame Cantabile, Proposal Daisakusen, Nobuta wo Produce and Devil Beside You.

Haha. okok. Shall stop chatting now and get to work!

翻滾吧!蛋炒飯 - Pretty good. Really funny. 4 out of 5!

Nodame Cantabile - Super duper funny!!! I keep lol whenever I watch this. 3 and 1/2 out of 5!

Nobuta wo Produce - Haha. It's so sweet and funny and retarded. Great drama. 4 out of 5!

Coffee Prince - The best drama ever! Really touching and funny. 5 out of 5!

Hanazakari no Kimitachi e - The bestest of the best dramas!!! Funny, sweet, amusing and just really great to watch. I give it a 10 out of 5!!! Haha. If there's such a thing.

Haha. As I seem to be lacking in time for more drama reviews, I shall do more next year. Haha. Don't worry. The dramas I've given are just one percent of what I've watched so far. Haha. And I'm not exaggerating. Haha. Okay, maybe a bit. A teensy bit. Haha.

2008-05-13T19:17:00.002+08:00

1) My dad keeps watching movies whenever he comes home from work everyday. It's crazy. Every afternoon I would hear our DTS sound system vibrate the whole house. Sigh. I hope the neighbors won't complain.
2) And he keeps eating bread with margarine. It's so unhealthy. Hope he stops...
3) I just finished writing down my schedule for the year, meaning my schedule for the june holidays, prelims and the... OMG........ GCE 'O' LEVELS!!! Haha. It's all on my calendar now. And I'm so super tired. But I have to finish two em papers, em assign 6, prepare a speech and plan the exact details and measurements for my art coursework tonight. Haha. Now's about 7.30. If I plan to sleep by 9, I'll just have about one and a half hours to do these. Haha. Oh wait, better go read the Lord of the Rings trilogy for the sixth time now...
4) HAHA. Don't worry, my brother's worse. He's taking the A Levels and HE'S playing Final Fantasy VIII on his PSP. Like everyday. He plays it everywhere. You name it, he's done it. The car, the dining room, his room, even in the toil- oops... Better not say it. HAHA.
5) I have to remember, the cardboard cost $1.38 each. I have to remember. Must remember. Remember. Must. Remember. Must.

Lacking in sleep

2008-05-10T11:42:00.002+08:00

I slept at like 3 on thursday, trying to finish my art. Haha. Before that I had to make this movie. It was really last minute. It took me like three hours. Haha.

Anyway, this year I havn't been able to sleep by nine at all. Too much homework! So tired.

Yesterday, Mong Yi, Jocelyn and I decided to take a break and go out for a movie. We havn't watched one for so long. But then, when we went to Shall Centre, the ones we wanted to watch were all sold out! So we walked all the way to Cineleisure. Which was sold out. So we gave up and went to have dinner. Haha.

Mong Yi's like crazy. I bet she can go one whole week without sleeping. You should see her eyes. Eye bags. And Jocelyn is a sleepy person. She sleeps on the floor. And when she's SUPPOSED to stay up late to finish her art, she falls asleep. Toot. So I always end up staying up alone doing my art.

Haha. And then we graded each other's artwork yesterday. I'm pleased to say that everyone gave me A2s and A1s. But we're too lenient anyway. Since we're friends. Mong Ti was the worst. She gave me a crazy 84 out of 100. Haha. Then Jocelyn was the extreme opposite. She gave me the lowest, 71 out of 100. HAHA. But I don't blame Jocelyn. I think even the mark she gave was too high. Truthfully speaking, I think my artwork deserves a B3.

But anyway, life goes on. I'm extremely down today. I don't know why. And I get cranky whenever anyone talks to me. So stay away from me. I just wanna be alone. haha. And maybe get some much-needed sleep. Which I'll never get, looking at the pile of responsibilities I have to undertake, namely homework and studies.

So Ciao people. And I hope you have a better day than I have!

Haha

Today was really a ear-deafening day. Haha. Seriously. I took the MRT back home. On the way, this couple with a baby came in. I had already taken a seat and the mother with the baby took one beside me. Then when the train started, the baby kept right on screaming. Toot. Right into my ear. toot. For at least five stops. Toot. Nonstop. Toot. Must I add that the baby had really big lungs? toot. And I couldn't leave my seat. Toot. Cuz I thought it would be too rude. Toot. So embarrassing. And I saw people trying not to laugh. (I must have looked really uncomfortable) Toot. Haha.

woah. it's super cool. Check this out.

Ugh. Annoyed. Both printers in my home broke down today. Can't print anything!

And haha yay! Dad brought home two more computers today. Haha. Maybe they'll help switch my spoilt one with one of them.

Oh and I got a new stack of drawers. Really need space to store stuffs.

Oh and Yus, Yi Ting and I decided to sing Qing Tian by Jay Chou for Evening by the Pond. haha. So I'm currently listening to the song for the approximately eighth time in the row now. Haha. Cuz I'm not familar with it at all.

Ok. Got to do art work and some ss as well. Buh-bye homo sapiens. Me, martians have to return to planet Mars!

And you ask why I wanna cut my hair so short? Well, you could say that I got influenced by people around me. Haha. And by like Ella and Yoon Eun Hye (below).

pretty eyes

1) I stayed up till 1.30am last night to finish 2 SPA files. Turned out, I didn't need to pass them up today. Toot.

2) My NAPFA test was today. Haha. Havn't been training all that hard so 3 out of my six areas deproved, one stayed the same, and only 2 improved from last year's. Haha. Remarkably, my 2.4km run was the same from last year's even though I didn't even practice. Haha. Same timing, how cool is that! haha. But toot. I really wanted to hit the 11 mins mark. I'm not sure what I got for last year's sit and reach but I'm sure I deproved. Ugh my sit ups deproved by 2! Omg. I wanted to get the top score in school for it since it was the only area I was good in. Oh well, never mind. My standing broad jump deproved the most! By like 7 cm ok! Haha but not as bad as slow's. She deproved by 10cm. But toot! Hers was still above 200cm. How dare she complain! Anyway, my dash improved by one second. yay! And apparently my incline pull-ups was the top score of the level. Haha. I was wondering why since I never do pull-ups and realized why. Cuz of art. Twice a week, when I get home from school on the bus journey, I have to carry huge piles of art materials. Since I never get a seat, I always have to hold them which is extremely tiring. My arms would be cramping up. But haha, looks like it turned out to be a blessing in the end!

3) Then I had art after that. Haha. I am proud to say that I finally got an A for my drawing and painting paper. Haha. I suck. But never mind. I still need more work and improvements. Then Vivian, Mong Yi and I went out all the way to Singapore art Museum to view some art gallery. Haha. On the way there, we went to eat dinner. Then found we only had 5 dollars. Haha. So we negotiated with the stalls and finally got two bowls of hot and spicy ramen noodles. Haha. Thing is, we didn't know it was that spicy. Haha. So we were literally crying as we ate. haha. And then Mong Yi was like, we spent our only 5 dollars just to torture ourselves. Haha.

4) The art exhibition was nice, but I prefer the last one I went to.

5) I went for my last piano lesson yesterday. Gonna miss my teacher.

6) Below are the gym pics. Even though I messed up, it was still a good experience. :) I mean, we still won fourth didn't we?

Oops I did it again

Haha. So on Monday, after having 2 days of my hair being short, Mom and Dad brought me to the salon. I was arguing with her, saying I wanted my hair cut like a basketballer's. She wanted a bob look. Ugh! I hate that. Anyway, I finally got the hair stylist to persuade my mom. Haha. Dad just sat watching nearby.

So my hair was cut extremely short. Mom just kept laughing. I laughed too. And Dad as well. Haha. Mom said I looked Japanese. Dad said nice. I said cool. Haha.

Then when I went back to school the next day, mayhem started. Friends complained. Said they didn't know me anymore. Others said I looked cool. Others said I looked different but it was okay. Adults were the great ones. All of them said I looked better. Haha. Anyway, slow called me a booch. Haha if that's the way you spell that. She taught me that word. Great of you to teach me that word while using it on me slow. Haha. Anyway, I don't regret what I did. Haha. And even if I do, I can still wait for it to grow out! My hair grows fast. Haha. It was fun. Still is.

And Jocelyn complains that everytime she walks past me without stopping to chat cuz she doesn't recognize me anymore. Haha. And Jovel calls me a little boy. Haha.

Well anyway, I'm so tired. Just took a two hour ride home from Punggol. It was my last piano lesson. I'll probably take it up again next year.

And I'm soooo unlucky. I was randomly chosen to pass up my bio and chem SPA files to the HOD or whatever person-in-charge up there. Ugh. Havn't done my worksheets and I can't find some of them. Heeelllpppp.... Okay. Shall go do work now.

Buh-bye people. I'm sure you're having a better day than me! haha.

CRAZY

Mom always refuses to take me to the hair salon, so just to spite her, I took a scissors and wacked my hair off when she wasn't looking today. Haha. Well, not really. It took me two hours to cut my hair okay. Haha. I think I cut it too short, but hey, it looks great! And it was my first time too! Haha. Maybe I'll turn out to be some genius hair dresser. Haha.

Anyway, mom was so pissed when she saw it. But she couldn't do anything about it. Haha. Cuz it was too short. But then I told her that I didn't mind her taking me to the salon cuz I wanted my hair to be cut like a basketballer's. Haha. She didn't say anything and just stood there looking utterly pissed off. Bleah. Serves her right for not taking me to the salon in the first place!

And isn't the song playing right now an absolute irony? Haha.
