Work!

2009-09-29T19:57:00.002+08:00

Woots, finally, i found a job!! Hahax. The time taken for this job hunt took pretty long...I guess there might be a serious problem with my English in terms of writing resumes or cover letters. Perhaps i dont have enough experience or idea on how the formats of job applications should be back, not many companies replied to my online applications. Technically, there is only 1 which replied but i was such coward that i backed out when im supposed to go for the interview. Then, thanks to Yi Ting and the newspapers, i went for the walk-in interview at G2000 held at Orchard ION. Thankfully, I made it! And this time, I am arranged to work under the Wing Tai company..Hmm, well, not G2000, but the Diva accessory shop. Hope that everything can go smoothly as I am such a greenhorn in work since this is only my 2nd job and it is retail, something which i have not tried before. So, let me take this as a brand new challenge, Diva, here I come!

Hmm..yest was feb 14 - valentine's day...and im down for work for the whole afternoon...That's is such a spoiler..

However, it was sort of a fruitful day at my workplace...I wonder is it because it was valentines..and there is this lovely atmosphere going on..Or perhaps everyone then was in a good mood...Everyone seemed to have great interaction..as in.there was not much of conflict yest..and I find myself being treated well..

This is what happened yesterday...i worked at outdoors yesterday..and there were not many people..Hence, i began talking with my collegue and i found out a lot more about him. He made me realised how microscopic i was and how little of determination i had..Comapring myself to him...i seriously feel so inferior and i lost to him totally...He seemed to be my role model..and dawned on me about what had i actually been doing. Upon comparison, i suddenly feel that i did nothing. So here i wanna hope that he can pull through his times and goals that he set for himself. All the best to him! It was not an easy route afterall..

That's all for valentines...let me talk about today which is the 15 feb..

Today im working as night shift and yupps.. i met another batch of friendly collegues again..They took great care of me..and i get to know more of their names..It was a great step for me..as i was quite shy to approach them you see..And..today..i finally took up the courage and initiative to mix among them..Well, the outcome was fairly well..as they were willing to mix with me too..So, i would say that it is a great breakthrough for me..That's all for the 2 days..(cant type a very long post as im afraid that my computer will crash halfway and make me lose all my datas)

Will try to update soon! :)

Well, it has been quite some time since i updated my blog as my computer went haywire...It even had problems runing Windows..much less allowing me to blog...So, that's why i havent been changing my blogskin and songs..and i havent been updating what i have been doing..Perhaps, things will go better if i can save enough to buy a laptop for myself?? Hmm...that will be my latest resolution for the new year then...

Hmm, today is the first day of the lunar new year for 2009. Well, it meant to be a joyous occasion, but not really.
Let's start with the happy part then. Firstly, my relatives all came my house (well, almost all) for a gathering. Everyone just chat happily and so on and so for. Then, i played poker cards with my cousins and also had quite a fun time with my nephew and nieces.(gosh, they are so freaking cute!!) I took some pics of them, the brother was so photogenic!! I didnt manage to take a pic of the sister -they are a pair of non-identical twins.

Yup, then have a rojak dinner (new year goodies, KFC, porridge).

Hmm..Chinese New Year is approaching..This year, the year of ox, is going to be a tough year...So, i've come up with some goals (just thought of it only)..Well, here it goes..

1. To master several languages and dialects
2. To earn lots of money
3. Adapt to the new environment, especially new school
4. To prove my capability and attain some achievements
5. Improve myself?? (that sounds weird..but i have no idea how to phrase it)

Yuppx...yesterday the big day...the release of the O level results...well. my results were only average...but at least there were improvements from my prelims..that's quite a sigh of relief for me...

After the release of O lvl results, i went to East Coast Park for cycling. Guess who i met! I met my sec 4 chi teacher - Mdm Chen YY !! That's like so coincidental. Manage to see a lot of planes flying past when i went and i saw the sunset as well. Gosh, it was beautiful...

After cycling, i had a light dinner and went home... THE END..

WhAt Is ThIs!!!

2009-01-08T12:55:00.003+08:00

Pardon for the singlish and vulgarities, cause i'm freaking pissed off today. Here is how it goes...

It has been days since my grandma and her maid moved into my house. So, for the past few days, i have been entertaining my grandma for like an hour a day when she keeps on rattling...Then, we have to cope with the new maid..I know it is mean for me to say this, but i really cant stand her. Firstly, there is a very serious communication breakdown with her. I think she only understands Indonesian (which only my grandma can speak and understand that in the whole family) Despite knowing that the maid can understand Mandrain and not English, i wonder for how long she learnt it and she actually claimed that she know that language...When we tried to converse with her in Mandrain, she dont understand us at all apparently. After we shoot all the neccessary instructions to her purposely, she dont even bother to ask any questions, as we expected that it is impossible to know so much since it was her first day only. Well, that's not all. If she is too timid to ask, forget it. But the irritating thing is, she doesnt know and she didnt bother to ask. In the end, she did all the wrong things. I wonder if she is a Missy back in her country, the way she do the housework was simply atrocious and she still show attitude! I know employees dont feel good when they are being reprimanded lar, but it is simply too ridiculous. She is here to work and yet she is not responsive nor co-operative. On the first day, when my mum asked her to do one household chore, after she finished it, she went to hid in the room and didnt come out for the rest of the time to help out! What is this! Worst still, she picks what she eat. I understand that she may be islamic and hence eat halal food. However, she actually dont eat meat nor porridge!! The only meat she eat is fish and some chicken( abit only) and this afternoon, she actually decline to eat porridge! WTH..i almost shouted at her but i just went back to my room, leaving my grandma and mom to talk to her. Then, I was thinking, you are here to work, then what makes you think that you can choose what you want to eat a not. Be thankful that we actually provide her meals lar.

Although different families have different lifestyles to cater to, she dont seem to understand basic instructions. Ok, maybe my family and i need to get ourselves used to having a maid instead of doing everything ourselves, but i seriously think that my ability of doing housework greatly surpass her as a maid. Not because i'm belittling her, but the way she do things, i totally cant stand it. This morning i saw her mop the floor, she seem to be just mopping for show. She just used the mop and gently wipe here and there. Then, when my grandma asked her to sweep the floor, she did not sweep it clean at all. Cause there is construction works nearby my house, dust particles and sand is constantly found in the living room. Yet, when she sweep, she got nothing. NOTHING!

This morning when my grandma asked her to buy a loaf of bread, she actually went to get coffee for herself before buying my grandma's bread. That's not all. She took my sis keys to go out and almost caused my sis to be late for work as she went out for quite long time when the bread can just be bought at the void deck of my block. Worst still, my sister got so angry and panicky since she was runing late for work, she went down to look for the maid. And guess what, because she bought her stuff before buying my grandma's bread, she GOT NOT ENOUGH MONEY AND MY SIS HAVE TO PAY FOR HER and the money given to her was from my grandma. Then, before that, when my mother actually offered her a pack of coffee, she declined. She insisted on having Milo. What the hell lar. Kindly offer you a drink you dont want, still pick on what drink you like, think she what, young mistress ar. Freaking pissed off with her already.

That's not it. I wonder if her homeland has free water resources. The way she used water is as if water resources is free and unlimited!! Told her not to clear our dishes and cup yet as my family is not done with our meals. I dont know is she act blur or cant be bothered. She continued to clear the dishes. Then, when we slowly tell her another 2 more times, she continued to wash some utensils in the sink. The rate she wash is so freaking slow and worst still, she leave the water running when she using soap to clean the dishes. Then, for just a few utensils ( a pair of chopsticks and a bowl which can be cleaned in like 3 min), she leave the water running for dont know how long. So long that we all wondered what on earth she is washing that took her so long, until my sis fussed and said, "there's only a bowl and a pair of chopsticks!" Worst still, she leave the water running throughout!!! Wa lao, water bills damn expensive de lar. what she doing!!!

Instructions to her always have to be told AT LEAST 3 times. sometimes even more than 5. I wonder if she really can understand Mandrain or is it she act blur and cant be bothered.

I have spent around 2 days in Macau and 3 days in Hong Kong...During these days, stumbled upon many many unexpected situations as we went as a family for a vacation...We spent a few days in a tour and had the remaining days free and easy..So overall..it is a long story(quite lazy to describe everything). But it is ok, since a pic paints a thousand words...

Went to East Coast Park for cycling today again...LOL..several things happened today which were quite funny..

Firstly, we missed our stop and had to walked a long route back..So, we reached East Coast Park at like 4.10 pm? Then, we started our cycling expedition after renting our bicycles at Kit Rider.

Yuen Ching fell half way though, then some of us (Kelly, Nik and I ) waited for her, while the rest sped so ahead of them that they were no longer in sight. And that's how the whole big group (Wei Jie, Chan Heng, Aloysius, Ivan, Kelly, Nik, Siew Yee, Cheryl, Yuen Ching, Eng Meng and I ) split into 2 groups.

Surprisingly, we got back together at an ice-cream van we passed by as we started buying drinks and ice-cream from there. Then, the journey continued....we met many people on the way, like our classmates -Ming Yi and Jolene, some of the seniors of our school - Gary, Chau Kok, and some of the juniors which I can only recognise them from the sec 3 camp t-shirt.

Well, after cycling, we walked all the way to the food centre and all the way back to the bus stop to go home. That was an extremely long route and we were all exhausted by that. I had fried carrot cake and a can of ice lemon tea for dinner.. That was shiok!! Guess what, we met Moses on near the bus stop! He said that he got the wrong directions from his friend and ended up walking round East Coast for like an hour or two..He was on his way to his council buffet I think, then when we tell him the actual route, he got very pissed off, and decided to go home straight instead of his council event.

During our cycling and walking to and from the food centre, there were some very funny conversations, but i dont remember very clearly, spent my time laughing throughout....Below are some examples:

Kelly: Ten years down the road, you will see...

Ivan (interrupted) : You will see no road!

Me (serious grammatical mistake) : People, roller blades are coming up!

相信直觉

2008-11-19T23:36:00.004+08:00

今天又是一个很奇妙的一天。。。首先，我和朋友出去玩，然后傍晚就已回到家。。虽然感觉疲惫不堪，但是，很奇怪的，我能感觉心理的内心深处，有一股强大的冲力，让我想做一些事。于是，我开始跟随我的直觉－上网查询一些我想知道的知识。。然后整理一些事情。

偶然，我想起了不少。之后也从我的思绪中得到启发，我似乎开始有新的想法，新的梦想。虽说这些可能使我无聊的幻想，但是从来也没有规定，没有限制说幻想永远只能留在脑海，永远不可能实现。或许这就是人如其名吧，我似乎从来都不会绝望。我的英文名字，其实是含有乐观的含义。可能因此受到影响，我往往都回报着希望，抱着永不放弃的态度。是不是因为这样，我才从来都没感受过绝望呢?

原来，能够自己静静的解开自己思绪的迷宫是那么的轻松，自在。仿佛让我完完全全的走进自己的内心世界。。。这应该是直觉吧。就像在许多偶像剧里常说的“跟着自己的感觉走就对了”

写到这里，我也不禁想起以前苦读书的时候。当时的我，生活就只有温书，赶完老师给的作业。忙得我喘不过气来。只要有那么一丁点的空闲时间，我只会想任性的放肆，偷个懒。有时阅读故事书，有时看几集的电视剧。。有时就到外头呼吸一点新鲜的空气。。那时候的我，根本就不知道自己真正想要得是什么，就像个无头苍蝇，盲目的追求, 严重的迷失自己的方向，自己的目标。。。

心血来潮

2008-11-18T22:12:00.002+08:00

万万没想到，今天竟然会用华语来写这篇部落格。。。

一时的心血来潮，我开始拿起铅笔开始画画。今天这一画啊，就仿佛把我带到自己的内心世界，完全忘了我今天原本应该做的是-整理橱柜。。。虽然我已望了不少我小时候在美术班所学的树苗技巧，但是我决定相信自己，靠自己的直觉把我所记得的技巧展现在我的作品上。果然，我对画画是没什么天分。可是，我得到的是难能可贵的平静。不只是恢复了我以往冷静的性格，我似乎能感觉到心里也慢慢的平静下来。。。这应该是所谓的“心静”吧。除此之外，父亲也教导我以写我完全不知的东西。我从来没想过，原来美术也有自己的目的。只有知道自己想要什么，才能准确的把自己所想的完美地呈现出来。或许这就是我永远都画不好的原因吧，小时候的我从来就不喜欢画画。可能就因为这样，我画画只是因为在上美术课，需要把画好的画交给老师评改，才会乖乖的坐在椅子几个小时，把画画好。毫无目的，无目标，盲从的画了几年。。。到了现在，才发现以前是多么像个机器，在父母的安排之下，跟着他们的计划走，从来都没自己打算过。。

总而言之，今天的心血来潮，让我领悟了不少，让我重新地思考，整理我自己的思绪。。这样的生活，因该算充实吧。。。

Today, approximately half the class went to the airport to send our class top student -Jocelyn. She was returning to Indonesia and will be leaving for Canada soon to furthur her studies. While waiting for her flight, we took several pictures with her, sent our regards and wishes. Not long after, we bid farewell to her and watched her enter the immigration custom. Some of us cried though, we will miss her. The memories of the time spent with her seemed so unforgettable...

After sending Jocelyn, we met Miss Irene Poh, Miss Jane Si and the NPCC members of our school. They were going to Saba for their NPCC trip for several days. After having a small chat with Miss Poh, we proceeded to Terminal 3 for our dinner. And that was the programme for tonight...

On 14 Nov 08, I went to school for a grauduation ceremony from 9 to 11am. Overall, it was a meaningful event where i was engulfed by sentiments of nostalgia. Almost all the sec 4 and sec 5 cohort were present and pictures of our past were shown. Many of us changed over the years greatly as I couldnt even recognised some of my friends when we were in lower sec. There were sing along sessions and briefings about admission matters. Then, there were also catering and chats with teachers. After these, I went home to make preparations for the prom night.

In the afternoon, I went for my appointment for my make-up and hair styling. I was late for 15 min because I could not get a bus. On board, I realised something, I was catching too much attention-people were having their eyes fixed at me, especially the males. There was one sec school boy who stared at me till I alighted the bus. That was scary...

I have to say that there is a high price to pay for beauty. The hair styling was very painful, especially when the hair stylist inserted pins to make my hair stay in fixed positions before perming the ends temporarily. As for the make up, it keep going into my eye and my eye was irritated by it. It was itchy. Therefore, the make up for my eye had to be redone as the mascara dirtied the lower part of my eye as i kept blinking due to the irritation.

After the make up, I took Shannon's father car together with Ann Gie to go to the prom venue- Suntec city convention hall. If i did not remember wrongly, it was hall 301-302. The prom was quite boring but the food catered was quite nice. There were many varieties of main courses and desserts. Boy, the boys at my table (all my classmates) went for several rounds of food...Voracious appetitie huh? Also, we played several games and again, my table made the most noises. Basically, I will say that as the people at my table were mainly cheer leaders before. In addition, we were very close to the stage. We sabotaged other tables for certain games as we did not want the other classes to win and we helped to cheered and support our own classmates even though they are sitting on other tables. Guess what! Both the prom king and queen of the year were from my class! They were Bryan and Shannon!!! Cool right. Furthermore, most of the lucky draw prizes were won by 4B also, making us the greatest prize winner of the night. Lol, the photos will be posted soon as i need time to compile them. There were simply too many pictures, hundreds of them!! Well, I need time to receive and sent out the photos...That's all for the night!

Hmm..today is an emo day, even though when I managed to get the shoes for my prom.

Firstly, met a teacher at Century Sq. (alright this is not the main point, that's plainly coincidential) Then, I went to Bugis to shop for my shoes for prom. Luckily, I managed to get a pair!

So far, it sounds fine right?

After reaching home, I showed my mum the shoes I bought. Her comment was that it was nice, but just slightly too big for me.

Then, I switched on the computer and went online. I wasnt sure was it the drama that I was watching too emotional or just that I'm being too emotional for the moment. Suddenly, I felt like crying. Strangely enough, there wasnt a reason for me to cry. However, tears welled up in my eyes just like that. I held them back. I told myself that I should not cry, especially when my parents are around. Perhaps this is a skill I learnt today- to hold back my tears.

Not long after, my dad came to me and passed me a sum of money. He said that he would sponsor me furthur for my prom. I thought I should be happy as I need not pay for some of the items for prom. But I wasnt. I was sad.This time, I could no longer hold back my tears and I went back to my room to let it out...

Today, I had 6 hr of maths in total..It's like oh my goodness...I could practically feel myself having an overdose of maths and my head became heavier and laggier...Well, that's particularly because the 2 hr ( 1 of of each maths ) was slot in the curriculum time while the other 4 was 1 shot after school (3-7) Fortunately, there was a half an hour break in between, but i wondered if I really benefited from the break.

Close to the end of a maths (before the half an hour break) I was already exhausted by the practice paper given. It was simply a tedious paper to be done. Thus, as I was procrastinating, I turned to the back to talk to my friends.

Not long after, it was e maths (5.30-7.30). However, I was not in the mood to do. In fact, most of the time, I was chatting. We talked about the times when we were in sec 1 and realised how foolish and how daring were we. It was like an adventurous year then. We laughed and laughed non-stop. It was then it dawned on me, I seemed to have spent 4 yrs in Dunman. I began to wonder if my 4 years were of meaningful times. Soon, I presumed that I began to miss my secondary times even though it has not ended. I did not want the times to end, but neither can I stop the times. Perhaps I should cherish the times I'm left and make the fullest out of it. But I felt that those times in sec 1 were really interesting. Somehow, I should say that it was a complex feeling that struck me and I'm not exactly sure how to express out in this entry. Everything is like...kept deep in my heart. Are these called memories?If so, I truly hope that I will never forget these precious times I have experienced. The fun, the laughter, the adventures. Although it seemed silly as a recollection, the actions remained vivid in my mind. At least, I can account to myself, I have not regretted my choices and I have been willing to bear the consequences...

Last thursday, my school celebrated teachers day in class. We had lessons until around 1 pm. Then, during the last hour of curriculum time, we ate the 10 pizzas which we ordered and watched Freedom Writers. Before that, we watched A Few Good Men during English lesson as well. Sounds like a movie relay... LOL. After that 1 hr, we still had night classes for various sciences..Sad..

Well, friday (29 Aug) we had our annual cross country too. The sad thing is that I injured my ligament, so i cant run. That's how I spent my last year of cross country. Boring.

Finally, there's today. 1 sep. Other than teachers day, today is my sis birthday! Woots. Gonna go out for dinner as a celebration at night!

Oh my goodness...Today, together with Meng Xin, Swee Ping and Jia Jing, we went to Tampines Mall to shop for a birthday gift. We decided to settle on a necklace.

Initially, we went Perlini Silver.. However, we cant find the chain of a suitable length for our friend. Thus, we decided to just buy the deco and shop for the necklace somewhere else to piece them together.

Next, as we passed by Isetan, we saw a series of necklaces on sale. We asked the saleswoman if we could just buy the chain and not the ornament on it. Fortunately, she agreed and we managed to purchase just the empty necklace at a fairly good price.

Unluckily, the deco was unable to be chained to the necklace!! It was too thick for the hole of the necklace! We tried and tried. To our despair, the necklace broke. Shocked by this, we approached the saleswoman again to see if there's any remedy for that necklace.

Kindly, with high service standards, the lady even offered to get us a new chain for our necklace! Although she knew that we forcefully tried to piece the 2 together and failed, the nice lady did not reprimand us nor reject to help us repair the necklace. Instead, she got a new chain for us and help us piece the 2 together so that we can have our desired necklace as a birthday gift! Oh m y gosh, we were still thinking that she would not help us or we would have to pay extra for this service.. Perhaps Lady Luck was shining so brightly on us that we got such a high level of service from the kind lady who was willing to help us..It was really like wow...

After settling the birthday gift, we went to Mini Toons to get our bag as we reserved 4 from the saleslady there as well...We got it at a great offer at the rate of buy one get one free when we were walking around, looking for the birthday gift. Touched to say, the salesperson actuallu kept her promise, she was even wearing that sling bag that we want when she was the cashier and serving other customers. Also, when we said that we would detour to buy the bag, she actually took it out and placed at the counter site to wait for us to go back!

Guess it is really a lucky day for us, we managed to meet so many salesperson with such great service. If not we might have many other obstacles to overcome for the day in our mission to buy the bag and gift...

Had my O level English Language Oral 2 days ago (14 Aug).. Again, I'm not confident about this...
This time, I really spoke a lot as compared to Chinese..Reflecting on it, I'm starting to wonder if speaking more actually helps or kills. I realised that I interpreted the picteure wrongly.. Really off track. I totally forgot that I could take the clues from the passage.. I was like staring hard at the picture during the waiting 10 min that I was given and I couldnt make anything out of it... Then, when I reached the examiners' area I simply just shot my mouth off whatever that comes to my mind since I couldnt make anything out of it.. Wonder if I will be badly penalised.. Worst still, the reading passage was like a tongue twister..Gosh..I stumbled quite a few times because of so many "th" words in the passage (some even came out consecutively, even worse) Then, for conversation, I tried to talked as much as I could, even the candidate behind me said I talked very long.. However, every time halfway through what I had been talking, I will start doubting myself, asking myself whether what I said was relevant. Well, i actually repeated myself many times using the keywords of the question to make sure that I wont go off topic, but I dont think that helped, cause I ended up repeating the same few sentence structures which I think I will still be penalised..For goodness sake, I really need some luck for this.. I dont usually do as well for English oral as compared to Chinese oral since I'm speak more Mandrain..I'm really in a desperate state...May god bless me again and pull me through??

This is a time lagged post (cause the results were actually out on tue- 12 aug)

Apparently, I was quite shocked that I scored an distinction for Chinese..Furthurmore an A1 !! I was actually being a pessimist for quite some time as I was not confident about it.. Thus, I kept thinking that I scored A2 and even asked myself frequently what will happen if I really scoerd an A2..

Somehow, whenever I think of this, my next train of thoughts will be - what will happen if I get B3 and below?? Initially, I would tell myself that I should not think so as I rarely got a B for Chinese and I shouldnt be expecting that to happen...However, there will always be times when one slips..So, this has been haunting me for quite some time..

Fortunately, I scored an A1 !! Distinction for oral somemore.. That was really unexpected, cause I thought I wasnt playing with my full deck of cards...No idioms, no nothing, just short and sweet, and off I go..Shortest among my group? I think so... Lady luck is shining on me!! I got a distinction for oral!!!! That's really by luck..Must really thank god for that..

Think I lost a screw on the day of the results released. I was very unhappy that day.. I dont even know why. When I was told I scored an A1, I just went like," oh,okay" Instead of jumping with joy like the rest, I was sad about it.. Guess there's a nerve lost in my emotional management...Lol...

All in all, even though I'm quite amazed and caught off guard by my results, many people seemed to bet for granted that I'm a sure A1 student.. Probably because they know that Chinese is my best subject and I had been faring quite high for this subject as I usually scored distinctions. So on that day when the results were released, people who met me their first sentence was mainly," A1 right?" or "distinction ya?" Thanks alot guys, for being so confident in me. Guess I didnt disappoint you all ya??

Woots..it is my mother's birthday!!!LOL...let me review what I did today..

Firstly, I woke up early in the morning. Then, I switched on the television to watched an episode of drama..Next, I went out to meet my mom for breakfast.

After our breakfast, we went 'shopping' around our area as I promised to buy her a b ag as a birthday gift..Well, it's not really shopping as I cant walk for long distances with my injured leg.

Then, she spot on a bag which I paid for..Not long later , we went home and I was already worn out as I'm not one who is used to waking up early and walk around..

After catching a short nap, I continued watching some dramas while doing some other stuff to keep myself occupied.. Then, I went out as a family to eat dinner..

Well, because of me, this year is an exception that we ate at the coffeeshop at my neighbourhood ( all because I'm injured) The food was quite nice though, quite worth the price..Hahaha..After the dinner, my dad and I went home first as my sis and my mum went to get some other stuff..

Was onlining once I reached home. Again, I kept myself occupied (almost doze off though, cant really concentrate on my work) Hence, I ended up reading online.. Then, late in the night (but before 12 mid) we cut the cake..

It was real funny... My mum ended up placing, lighting and blowing the candles because we claimed her as the "birthday woman" After taking some pictures we sent a birthday song, cut the cake and ate as supper...

That's all for the day...The End...

Just started learning how to play basketball..Then, one fine day as I tripped over someone's leg, I fell hard on my right knee as I put my weight on it. So, that's my injury after how many months? LOL.. it has been a long time since I injured myself. Thus, I should say this is a rare injury..

Well, think I sort of underestimated the injury, as I didnt expect it to be so pain. I could barely bend my knee for the first night I fell. Then, the pain subsidised, but still hurt if I bend too much.. Right now, it is so much better, just left a bit more to heal...

LOL..this is just an boring entry. The purpose of this entry is to publish a post on 31 July 2008 so that I can have 1 more blog entry for my july archive. Cant believe that I didnt post anything much for July!! -lame-

Meanwhile, gonna start my passion for basketball....Interesting sport indeed..Kind of understand why so many people are obessed with it after I started playing..Haha..well, care to try?

Oh boy! Intensive night classes have started...It's a total killer programme! Even though this is a once in a life time experience, it is so memorable as I am spending more times on books and papers which I loathe the most instead of my favourite TV and bed..Come to think of it, let me picture myself in such situation if I enter the working society. For example, famous actors, singers, hosts, directors are spending more than 12 hr a day outside their comfy homes, working and working non- stop.(just like us, doing papers and papers non-stop). Also, if we so happen to work in international companies (especially those well-known ones), wont we have to do OT so often that we might as well camp in the office?? That's s quite scary though. Well, this entry is basically just about my daydreaming. Or should I say that this is called "Night dreaming" since I thought of this at night....Wish me luck though...Consecutive days with long hours, all about stuff which doesnt really interest me that much..intensive practising and revision...is like..WOW...hahahaha..even though u may think that i'm just exaggerating or are thinking if I am able to pull through, have faith in me that I WILL SURVIVE..if u think that this is an exaggeration, u are welcome to experience the "thrill" of studying before u miss this once and only chance. So, too bad and so sad if u are hoping that i will RIP after these sessions..cause.. i will be able to make it!!!

Hmm...today was my 'O' level Chinese Oral. Quite scary though, since I talked very short. Perhaps 2 min or so? Think that I'm the fastest candidate of my class all...Trying hard not to reflect on my performance but I just couldnt help it...Simple structure, simple phrases. Without the use of idioms and proverbs unlike the past. How well could I do? Disappointed, I dont pin high hopes of scoring high distinctions like the past. Too stress, seriously lacking in confidence. Hope that everything will turn out fine as a console to myself. Whether or not my goals will be achieved, I no longer have the power to change anything.

After I reached home and took a bath, I went out with my mother again. This time to a Chinese physician. My eczema seems to act up again, and it is starting to spread on the areas which I used to have. Furthermore, the doctor said that it will not be easy to cure (almost impossible) as it will spread easily. Thus, there are many types of food to be abstained.

Went to the clinic's nearby kopitiam to have dinner...This time I had sesame oil chicken with rice. Though it taste nicer than before as it was not that oily, it was salty. Well, at least I had my fill. Coincidentally, I met Mr Teo KB and Mr Danny Wong at the kopitiam too.. That's all for the day.

GuItAr FaReWeLl PaRtY

2008-06-13T15:49:00.004+08:00

Come to think of it, I have been in the guitar ensemble for 4 years, cant believe it, it seems so fast. In the past, I was dying to step down as I was lazy to wake up early in the morning on Saturdays. However, now as I have officially stepped down I sort of cant bear to leave my fellow members. Perhaps is because I have unknowingly developed a sense of belonging in the guitar ensemble and have got to know quite a no of friends there.

Had a farewell party on the 9 June (well, the 2 day-1 night guitar camp was on the 9 and 10 june).Hmm, I went to see how they practised for a while and then started to package the farewell gifts which we (the sextet and quartet) had prepared for our teachers and conductor.

During the farewell party, we watched the performance which the campus put up and we, the graduating seniors put up a performance as well. Haha, we performed the Dunman tempo which we learnt like in half an hour?? Haha, had an enjoyable time. Before and after the dinner we played some games as well. Then, there was a few times, while we were playing concentration, we forfeited the loser to drink the diluted fruit punch!! Fortunately, my luck was good enough that I didnt lose any. We did some cheers too. Our dinner that night was lesser than the normal we usually have as a CCA gathering. Our teacher explained that she thought maybe the chef forgot the last dish as his or her father passed away. Though we had a lighter main course, we had cake as dessert which we dont normally have

There was a handover session when we officially passed our roles to the new commitee through the gestures of shaking hands and them giving us our farewell gifts. All the best to the new commitee!!! Have faith in yourself to lead the whole ensemble to greater heights. We are pinning our hopes on you guys!

On their 2nd day of camp, Meng Xin, Jia Jing, Swee Ping and I went on 'patrolling' as free orienteers as we wanted to see how their orienteering went. Thus, after our lunch at MacDonalds, we went to Sunplaza(one of the stations) to have a look. It was tiring though as we actually got lost when we wanted to walk to the nest station. North park, i think. Luckily we found our way and managed to reached the next station. During the visits of the 2 stations, we spent some time playing and saw how some of the groups we met playing the games designed by the game marshalls. Next, we dicided to join the game marshalls on their way back to school as their orienteering was ending soon.

When we reached school, wo taught them some cheers. So, we cheered again before the final station was set up. Guess what, the graduating seniors who went to join the orienteering actually played with the campus!! 1st time was instructors verses grauduating seniors. My group got trashed badly as none of us won a single game. Then, instructors, seniors and teachers verses the campus, and we still lost in the end.. Haha, that was all. What followed after the final game station was debriefing and prize giving.

our group..focused ya?

Dunman 4B '08 is 1st in the hall of fame!!!

and 8th too!!

Wow, had a good time today...Went to have bubble tea with my classmates. Then, we saw this game machine, it reminded us of our past memories when some of us played this game called Spot The Difference. We started to play there.......Not long after, the whole group of us were gathering at that machine and we started playing as a group when it was supposed to be 1 player..Haha, as the saying goes, one for all, all for one, all of us contributed our eyes for the games. Guess what, our efforts were not in vain! We broke the record! We came in as the new champion! (that was after quite some noise we made as we were quited excited and nervous as the difficulty levels were raised. Sometimes, some of our fingers entered our answers which caused the machine to lag and our time limit was furthur shortened-panicked some of us and the calmer ones had to actually remind us too calm down) Then, to our shock, we get to play another free game since we were the new champions. So, we continued to play. This time, some people went for lunch, some people wanted a rest. Therefore, lesser players were left in the game. Some puzzles were rather tricky. Well, this time we didnt do that well, we came in 8th in the machine's record. Not bad though, not many can make it to the top 10 in game machines....

Another piece of good news, another friend topped the Sudouku game in the machine too!! Qiote a pity that i didnt manage to take the photo. Great job Matthew, fancy topping the game machine alone. Heard that you topped with a perfect score of 13.5k? Haha, nice one...

Think my sec 3 and sec 4 time will be my most memorable times. I had such good friends and in such bonded class...3B '07 and 4B'08 rawks!! Nice job guys, for having such good teamwork and determination. That's what i call the spirit of the 3B cum 4B class..All the way. One for all, all for one...

our names...

a scene at the beach...

a scene of us playing...

what we saw as we cycled...

another scene at the beach

doodle something!!!

our memories....

know them??

It's been a long time since i update my blog...So today gonna catch up with everything.

Last week, i went East Coast with many of my friends for cycling. It was fun and the rental cost was cheap. We managed to rent our bikes for $5 for the whole day!

First thing we did after we got our bikes was to cycle all the way to the hawker centre to have our lunch. I ordered a plate of kuay teow but end up seeing Daryl buying western food. Worst still, he sat beside me!!! That was so tempting..4 sausages, 2 eggs, baked beans etc..and it cost only $4! oh my goodness!!! Upon seeing such food, everybody started to take from daryl...LOL...Then, Tim and Ming Jun start to talk about what sausages and nuggets contain, and they started to say about genitals and mixture of unwanted meat make up those food..Eeewww, disgusting but quite true though..Haha, den after our lunch, we headed back to look for our friend (jia jing) who said she wanted to emo herself and watch the sea.

Next, we started to play at the beach. We throw stones into the sea, doodle on the sand, observe the process of coastal erosion when we finally decided to continue our biking journey

We cycled to various places, stop by for short breaks as we play around. Sometimes, we even ramp into each other as people in front have sudden brakes..It was fun and exciting, is sort of like adventurous journey. Finally, my knee gave way, guess is the acting up of my old injury.

My knees were getting hurt as we continued to cycle while the some of them went to burger king to do their work. Our cycling journey continued but at a slower pace as my knees were aching, really thankful to the gang of friends who actually took care of me, especially Jason and Xian De, who kept me company all the way though i was cycling at a very slow speed. After hours of cycling, we realised that we had actually cycled to Changi Safra, by then it was like 7 pm...Then, we decided to turn back to return our bikes as it was getting late. Think we reached the bicycle shop like 7.30?? After meeting up with the study group at Burger King, we finally went home, exhausted and aches all over.

Came back home quite late yesterday from the meet the parents session, quite shocked with my results also, cause is totally a mirror reflection from my sec 1 results...my sec 1 results was all As and 1 C, but now I had all Cs and 1 A...So bad!!!

However, that is not the main point...since I was so tired yesterday, I fell asleep soon after I reached home and had got a long night sleep.Eventually, my sleep was severly disrupted by the construction...thanks to the lift upgrading project, drilling my storey today. The noise pollution was extremely great...Even my super thick wooden door can only block out like 50%? Nah, think less then that, cause the construction is just beside my house...There goes my day, need find something to do to get out of the noise pollution.........

Hiaz, wonder if my A1 is still there waiting for me to grab..Seriously, I do not have much confidence in today's paper...I dont wanna retake!!!Guess that this paper is a test of luck...Pray hard..may god bless

Hmm...had an intensive badminton trip yesterday after my combined science practical exam...

Yesterday's trip was simple - practical exam, lunch at pasta mania and roughly 2 hr of badminton.

In review, we had a lot of fun as we really played our best and enjoyed ourselves in the game.
I realised that I am not a great pair with Ann Gie...cause in total if i not mistaken, i hit her 4 times in the game when we were playing doubles when I miserably failed to smack the shuttle cock down....LOL.

The game was intensive and tiring, but interesting. After the game, I realised my back was aching from the jumpings and running. Guess that I gonna suffer muscle aches soon..

Hahax, basically this is the core of today's trip..

another group photo...

a complete pic of our fwens...noe them??

LOL...I know that this is a very belated entry, but i really have not much time to update my blog. Here the story of the day (21 April '08) goes...

It was Ann Gie's birthday and 1 of my group of friends shared and bought her a present. Then, we were in cahoots and collaborated a plan to prank her since it was her birthday, as it was boring to carry out just the usual gp tradition of passing her the present. The initial plan was just to lie to her say we had forgotten to bring her present and push all the blame to Yi Huei. Then, after a while Adin will show her the present. However, as we were discussing this plan outside 4B classroom, i noticed that a group of boys from my class were 'staring' at us(basically wei jie n gang) for quite a while. Just then, a sudden inspiration struck me-I decided to add some spice to the plan....

When NG came out after Jia Jing told her that we forgot to bring the present, most of them were like crowding her saying "How ar?", "Sorry gal, not our fault..Dont be angry " and all sorts of stuff. Meanwhile, they were capturing Ann gie's attention, I ran down to meet Wei Jie and gang, who still had not left then. Thus, I asked him to take the opportunity to talk to her and surprisingly he really did. He came up to meet us quietly and was spotted by Ming Jun and I.. Without furthur ado, Ming Jun pushed him all the way to the front and they talked face to face!

My group (me, yi huei, jia yun , ming hui, jia jing, adin, shannon, samuel, ming jun, daryl) had our present passed to ann gie with the help of wei jie( got impromptu change in plan all thanks to me) as our present had a heart-shaped card in it... Seeing that they were of close distances, the rest of us scram imediately, mainly going back to our classes. The more evil thing is, Jia Jing actually locked the both of them out of class so that they got more private time to chat!!

That was generally what happened in school. After this commotion, we went to MacDonald's to celebrate the birthday despite the main motive is to get Wei Jie and Ann Gie to be out of school together for once...Hahaha..some joking happened there, with some crappy stuff. We met this 'high-class' auntie who actually asked some of us to be out of her way because she think we block her way when we were obviously not. Wonder why she did that for, cause before we make way for her the passage way behind where we we sat (so called blocked her way) can actually fit 2 of this auntie's size lar...Alright, that's not the main point. After the joking and crapping, Shannon got her hands dirty due to her scientific curiosity(thanks to Ivan) All because Ivan tempted her to see the exothermic reaction and since she didnt see before, Ivan tried on hjer and in the end he pushed Shannon's hand into the pool of sauce (chilli and mayonise with ice if i did not remember wrongly) Though we spent quite some time there, we didnt feel like going home. So we went to the park near the stadium.

At the park, we spent some time at 2 of the playgrounds. Also, we took some photos. Cant imagine right, sec4 students actually take pictures of themselves a the playground. As we have difficulty fitting all ourselves in the camera if we take the photos ourselves, some of the photos will short of 1 person, and if it is a complete picture of all of us, that will be becasue we really asked some kind passers-by to help us take. Still cant imagine? refer to the photos uploaded then!

Spending so much time having fun, we decided to go home. So, we sent ann gie home first. Main purpose is to create chances for wei jie to send ann gie home. But this plan failed miserably as he did not managed to even send her to her block!! He actually left when ann gie tell him no need to!!!! Then, we preached Wei jie about it, followed by some tips to wooing girls...Then, practically, thats all as there was not many other interesting events after Jia jing, Ming Jun and I send Wei Jie, Ivan and Jason to the bus stop to take a bus to the interchange. (correction-i didnt send them all the way to the bus stop)

That was all about it. The End.

my meal...

my cheese!!!!

Sloppy arrangement..(bad service)

getting ready...

at the food court...

look at the camera leh...

here we go!!!

Today is a very unusual day...

Firstly, after creative writing course (finally it was the last lesson) we-Shannon, Jia Jing, Ann Gie, Yong Kin and I went MacDonalds to study...To be exact is do our own work and ask if we have any queries.. Then, I realised how sloppy the service is as the cheese in my Fillet-O-Fish is not even in my burger..as in it sticked on the packaging instead of being 'sandwiched' in my burger. That's not all. As I was eating, the fish , somehow just dont want to let me eat cuz it keep slipping out as I bite. In the end, I was eating in such an ugly and pathetic state, with both my hands full of the mayonise which I added between the bread and the fish..Alright, enough of my complains on the food service, since I was there to study...

So, we started doing our own work..Jia Jing did her chemistry, Shan n I did a maths, Yong Kin teach Ann gie until he was about to go crazy which he didnt in the end..(juz pek chek only) After doing for some time, Jia Jing went away for a while to look for the LPK Bio textbk which she wanted to buy but her efforts were in vain as the Popular bookshop was under renovation...However, Ann gie n I called the customer service hotline which we were unable to get through( we were told to leave messages, in between, several funny things happen in the way that me and anngie leave our messages). In the end, I used the hotline to get contacts of some of the outlets and called several outlets (only 2) Eventually, they say Bukit Panjang Plaza have..but that was too far. Thus, I managed to find a nearer one- Bras Plaza...So good luck JJ in finiding your book!!!

Part of the funny messages:
NG: nxt time plz improve ur service by picking up the phone! (hang up)

Me: Er, this is eileen and my contact no is : XXXXXXXXX. I would like to find out if your outlets still have the pure biology textbook and i think the publisher is LPK.

After that NG got leave another one also, but cant really rmb wad she sae...

Next, we went to CS to get my eart studs. After getting my earstuds, Yong Kin and I went to Yellow to spy, to investigate if the shop is a scam shop. (cuz NG n JJ sae the people there might recognize them cuz they went in before) In conclusion, I think that it is a scam shop!! All the stuff there are sold at a very much higher price than normal lar. The shop keeper still say in such a nice way (2 ordinary looking couple necklace cost $71!!! With nothing somemore, not even is stainless stell or intricate design- just a neckalce with the female sign and the other a male) just that they say that they having a promotion so engraving is free...Besides, they almost wanted to charge us for packaging fee if not i delibrately ask if additional costs are needed for the packaging...Eww, awful shop to patronise

Then, we followed NG to the food court and watch her have her dinner. Then, while waiting JJ and I went to montip to buy ear sticks. Next, when Ng has finished her dinner..Guess what we did? Yong Kin was actually teaching me to play chess.. Is like oh my god, chinese chess in a shopping mall food court. Surprisingly, I did learnt a few great moves..Haha, so it was worth it.

Lastly, Ng, JJ and me walked home..crapping as usual, after sending NG halfway home, me n JJ went out normal route and finally, HOME SWEET HOME...

Shifted our instruments that we left in the temporary AVT after the music extravaganza back to our guitar room. It may also be the last time that we could actually get the keys from our i/c teachers to open the rooms for my fellow members, or even, the last time that I step into the Guitar Room and get my allocated guitar (a.k.a my 'husband'). Initially, I thought I could just bear to leave them like that and was quite looking forward to stepping down. However, today's trip to the Guitar Room had made me think deeper. Was I really able to let go? Or I was just putting up a strong front? I began to doubt if they really can cope and adapt quickly to the changes. Can they really cope and go on well or even better?

Then, I took a few photos of the guitar room and 'bid farewell' to the place which I have been going to around twice a week for 4 years...After putting back our instruments, my group performance members -Regina, Meng Xin, Swee Ping, Yi Huei, Jia Jing (but only me, Regina, Meng Xin and Swee Ping were around) played the song Yin Xing De Chi Bang outside the Guitar Room for the last time. Also, in memorial as members of the Guitar Ensemble, friendship and our last secondary school performed concert, we made a pact to meet 10 yrs later, 12 noon at DMN on the 21 march as successful people. Hope my dreams will come true by then and achieved success. Also, hope that we can meet each other again, nice and well...MUST REMEMBER THE PACT WE HAD!!

Had my last concert at VCH yesterday..It was a combined concert named Music Extravaganza. Quite a success, we performed better than normal, except for the last ensemble piece- Toccata. Tocatta was screwed up badly by my section-bassists as we were not really confident of playing. Also, we were unable to feel for the strings since we were using thumb picks to amplify the notes. Hence, many of us played the wrong notes and end up having wrong timings. Sad case. Another song will be the group performance-Yin Xing De Chi Pang. I played my 2nd guitar wrongly!!! Thus, I ended up anyhow continuing without following the actual scores. Wonder if the audience noticed. In addition, I wasnt sure if I had overpowered the crowd. I was shocked by the sound level of my guitar as it was louder than I expected. Scared if I overpowered Regina who played chords, I immediately played much softer than before, but once again i wonder if the audience were able to hear my 2nd guitar or not.

Well, the performance is over anyway, hope that my audience like these pieces we are playing. Sadly, this concert remarked our stepping down as well. I HAVE OFFICIALLY STEPPED DOWN IN GUITAR ENSEMBLE. However, I have definite confidence that the next leader will bring the ensemble to another higher level than I did. Dont really bear to, but will try to go back to help out. Jiayous guys! U can do it!!! Take care...

Eh.. forgot to add this entry though.. This was done a few days before the FF concert. We went to City Plaza to shop for our performance outfits.. Unbelievable, we got nothing out of it upon shopping the whole City Plaza. All the designs that we thought were suitable could not produce enough quantity for our performance..Some were very expensive even. More coincidentally, we eventually got our uniforms at Bossini again. Is guitar ensemble so fated with Bossini that our uniforms have to be bought there 2 times in a row??

PS: actually not say nothing lar. We managed to get silver hairbands for our performance though.

A tiring and long day though....but enjoyable as well...

Went for the school bazzar in morning, arrived late in setting up the venue also. This year, my class did a haunted house - Hell Gate. Although it was supposed to be haunted, people came out laughing till their teeth drop. Through this event, I realised that I dont have the talent to be ghost, as I ended up saying high to my customers most of the time. Hahaz..I went to walk around with some of my friends too and for once, I felt that I had too much money. For the first time I actually want to 'cry' from spending money. Despite buying just $10 worth of tickets, I realised that I could only spend on food since I dont want to spend on the rest... Then, I got $2 from another friend which I bought more food and later another $10....In the end, we bought big packets of crackers back to class, that can actually make up dont know how many days of our recess.

As we were packing up our classroom, we realised something- we didnt use the dry ice at all! We bought 10kg and cost us $30 and end up we use like only 1kg?? Knowing that we were unable to keep dry ice, we decieded to play with it. After packing up our class, we brought the dry ice to the parade ground and played with it. We poured water and see the smoky effects, took pictures of it. Shockingly,we conducted science experiments with it. After seeing the smoky effects, we blew away the smoke and saw the boiling process taking place. We also tried to cover the pail of dry ice and water with trash bag to see if it would 'explode'. Sadly, it didnt. Instead it created holes withing the trash bag and carbon dioxide escaped. Despite carrying out so many experiments, we could not finish the dry ice. Hence, we put it back into our classroom. Good luck to those first few to reach the classroom on upcoming schoolday. The classroom gona be filled with carbon dioxide, furthurmore, our classroom will be locked and it is an air-conditioned classroom!!

At night, we went to support our class band's(Friendly Fire aka FF) performance at Civil Service College. Friendly Fire rocks!! They were the limelight of the night! It was until this competition then I knew that they could play so well!! The performance were great and the audience were high. Cant imagine that they could actualy prepare a comical song 'carrot cake' which impressed all of us. It was a funny and cute song...All the hard work were paid off as they won the champion..Next we went for a celebration at MacDonald before we went home. Good work guys! 3 cheers to you!.

This year, i had an extraordinary new year. I went to my conductor's house for visiting and guess what! We talked about guitars, music and performances even at his house. He introduced his son and daughter to us and he gave us red packets! :) Basically,we talked and talked; eat and eat. Then, we decided to leave. However, we did not felt like goin home. So, we ended up loitering at Tampines Mall. Actually, we didnt really loiter. Initially, we wanted to catch a movie, but the time slot wasnt really suitable for us. Therefore, we went to Pasta Mania to slag.

At Pasta Mania, we ordered some food, and talked almost anything under the Sun(cause there was no genre, we ended up talking whatever we thought of) After talking like an hour or so when we finished our food, we had no idea where we wanted to go again. However,we went to the NTUC as someone wanted to buy some stuff. Upon reaching the NTUC, something caught my eye. Epo Sushi!!! My favourite sushi! Hehez. Again, I bought some sushis as snacks before we went home since we got no more places to go....

Hmm...just realised that my sleeping hours are begininning to extend..lesser time for other things and more time wasted. Gotta figure a way out to stop that, if not i think almost everytime when people see me will be that shitty face of mine, which is super irritating. Sorry for those who see that kind of attitude of mine, I dont mean it. It's just that I'm too tired to stay awake for some weird reasons that I have been sleeping alot more than normal people. Therefore, I'm getting short-tempered...Hahax,will try to improve on that, hope can change that soon. Finally, thanks for those who tolerated my sucky attitude or even kept quiet abt it. :XD

Just completed the Adam Khoo Workshop of I Am Gifted And So Are You. It was quite a fun exprience as I learnt alot.Through the camp,there were mixed feelings of memories, being sad or happy. It was also through this camp, I managed to face my true self. I finally faced my own emotions which I avoided for many years. The trainers were friendly and fun, they brought much laughter in their jokes and true life experience. They have very fruitful and interesting life experience which they shared with us and many many more. It is quite worth it and the activities planned would really make you face your inner self and do what you have to so that there wont be any regrets left.

Eww..school has reopened...though there are more jokes being spread round the class, what we brought home was no more than books, homework and tiredness...Heavily bombed with tests and exams.Hmm, should say that I do not have enough time for revision. Furthurmore, need to practise my guitar. Have been lacking very behind from the ensemble due to some missed lessons..That's all what I wanna complain about school so far..So, 'enjoy' .

Went to Malacca for a friendly tchoukball competition with the Malaysians. It was a 3-day-2-night trip. Hence, many events have taken place during this time which would be quite wordy to reflect on the whole happenings. This entry would mainly be the pictures that we took in memories of our time spent there. Besides the match, we did some tour and lots of shopping and I managed to buy lots of stuff.(spent over 120++ Ringgit just for my stuff-hence got a bit of nag from my parents for spending so much) All in all, we had a great time there and had a fruitful trip.

The drinks...

Merry X'mas to all..Just went for a x'mas gathering with my paternal relatives yesterday and a buffet lunch at the Salvation Army Changi Corps the day before..Everywhere seems to be filled with the atmosphere of the festive season!

Hmm...the day before I went for a Christmas buffet lunch at The Salvation Army Changi Corps. For a start, there was a concert with various performance and talks about Jesus and Mary. Performances involved a skit and sing-alongs. It was a about an hour performance before we proceeded for lunch. During lunch, my table waited for the crowd lining up at the buffet dishes to clear before we took our food as it was too crowded ans squeezed. Meanwhile, we realised that the number of people present was more than what the dining hall could take. Hence, we went to the Multi-Purpose Hall for our lunch. At the MPH, we arranged the tables and chairs for ourselves and then went back to take our food. During our lunch, many jokes were cracked and laughter was spread all over. I get to know new people as well. Many of the guys drank lots of champagne as well..but I mainly drank fruit punch as I was too full to take the champagne and fruits. A widespread of food..too much and too delicious..my whole plate was basically filled with food that I cant even see my noodles that they gave.

Next, was the Christmas eve gathering at my uncle's house. Oddly, this year seems to have fewer people participating. However, there was also another widespread off food..BUT this time, is eating non-stop and drank alot... For a start, I was quite pissed off with my sis as she made me waited for her to get ready for hours as she was working from home. I even fell asleep while waiting. In the end, we became the latest to arrive at the gathering which I felt super bad about it as I hated being late. Thus, after putting my bag down, I had to head straightly for the dinner by my family ourselves as we were the last to reach..I felt quite awkward about it too...as I didnt really know how to break out the conversation and wasnt really in a calm state of mind from the rushing over. After that, I watched TV with some of my relatives- Home Deco 3(and saw many funny things and troubles that arose from decorating the house). Then, exchanged our presents through lucky draws of numbers, ate a banana split with 3 scoops of ice-cream, drank some champagne and ate the Christmas log cake. After all, it was quite a fine gathering and we've been tempting my god-brother to exchange his presents with some of us since the one he took was not usable for him as it was for girls only-means his sis will earn the present instead..Ended p, he exchanged his presents 3 times (I think). In the end, his sister bluffed him that she got $100 cash as the exchange present while he was like dissatisfying and angrily saying that his sis was lying(indeed she was). However, everybody kept on saying really it was $100, they saw it when his sis showed them after opening it and 'blamed' him that it was meant to be his loss for changing the present. Thus, he was quite angry about it. Everyone knew that he would for sure snatched away his sister's present when we left. Hence, when everyone was prepared to go home, his sister actually took out the present and put real $100 (her own money) into it when everyone was packing up their stuffs to go home (lots of presents n food). After that, I went home, without knowing the ending to this prank but think that the brother will take it for real and be real mad with himself..Perhaps he will snatch the present with his sis..which I dont think he will succeed since the $100 belongs to his sis.

Went to temple at Chinatown with my mum today,but didnt spend much time there..The worst part is shopping. She brought me to shop around Chinatown in which almost everything looks the same to me and she finally realised that I was unable to get any new year's clothes from there. Worst still, my ankle isnt fully recovered from the sprain. Hence, I ended up walking around with a pain and swollen ankle. Then, went for lunch and finally I can give a suggestion to go Bugis to get my new year's clothes. Wonder if I made a wrong suggestion..There isnt much place for a short stop-by of a 5 min rest especially on a RAINY DAY. Therefore, we endede up shopping again around Bugis junction, before proceeding to a nearby hawker centre for a rest. The shopping hurt my leg like mad..It was so pain that I wasnt even in the mood to look at the clothes. We squeezed into the super crowded Bugis Village in which I spent most of my time trying to find the exit while walking instead of looking at the clothes and shoes available. It was so packed that everyone was like the ingredients of sandwiches, squeezed till one could barely walk out once one enters. Despite all these pain and bitterness, I ended up with my ankle swollen then the days before and bought quite a few T-shirts and a vest as a 'reward'

Just when to visit the doctor today. Realised that I underestimated my injury. Thought that my ankle was a small injury, but then it does not seem to get better after 2 days. Instead it started to swell. Thus, my mum brought me to see the Chinese physician and he said that I sprained my ankle. That's how I got a bandaged leg for this period of time and he asked me for a review a few days later and also to change the medication applied on the leg. He rubbed my leg which was quite painful during the time he rubbed on it (I got a shock that I stoned there and he kept telling me to relax so that he can do the treament) and gave me some medication. During the time when he was treating my ankle, I was quite nervous that my muscles are quite tense. Therefore, they keep telling me to relax. Despite that, I couldnt really relax as it was quite painful. Come to the medication...Oh boy, the medicine dont even seem like is for humans to eat. It is freakingly bitter and has a very weird taste. However, he said that the medicine that I had to drink was to remove the swell on my ankle. They suggested my mum to brew dont know what drink which I was irritated by it since I hated to take Chinese herbs. Furthurmore, they know some of my common symptoms by looking at me especially my leg as I have eczema. I didnt know that my daily diet has been worsening my problems all along. Hence, when treating my leg, they asked me if I pant easily blah blah and my mum was happily agreeing with them. Then, they said that I actually should not drink cold drinks as this will put me at risks to lung problems, low stamina( i think) and some others which I didnt really pay attention to. Therefore, no more ice lemon tea and soft drinks for me..That'a a very pathetic case...

Feeling very bored today,basically is due to the dreads of work. Haven been doing any studies during the holidays, neither do I want to do the homework.Worst still, my dad basically filled my holidays with Maths and English tuition! Even more boring and a SUPER wastage of time. Think I just sprained my ankle yesterday when I fell down from the stairs yesterday. All thanks to the small or no colour contrast between the stairs and the flat plain..I actually mistook the stairs for flat plains and hence fell down and hurt my ankle. Initially, I thought that it was just a small case although it hurts. Hence, I continued for my training. However, at night my ankle swell quite obviously even though it doesnt hurt that much today...Arrgh..freakingly irritating day to me...

setting up the relay games

I have not been home most of the time these days as I went to help out in the KidsGame Arise. It was a 3-day programme in which I went for 2 days as I went to take my award which was mentioned in the previous post. These 2 days, I went to help as Game Marshall under Esther's group. As a game marshall, I was mainly in-charge of the relay games. We had the 50m baton relay, skipping relay, 12 x 10m relay and the 3-legged race.

It was not easy getting the kids attention as most of them had their energy drained because of the hot and glaring sun as they had to do their relay at the basketball court. Luckily, they had their team leaders to aid in controlling in which one of them was surprisingly my CCA junior. (some more she skip a lot of the holi prac lols..kana caught by me liao) It was quite exciting to see them carrying out the races as some of the groups were quite enthu about it and they were quite easily motivated as compared to the older ones in the group. The games were carried out quite smoothly and we played water bombs on the 2nd day of the event!

Come to the water bombs part, have a lot to talk about it. The water bombs were only played among Games Marshalls! Haha..only us. The most exciting part is..some of them, actually stayed in the toilet for 4-5 hours, JUST tying the water bombs. Overall, they tied about 1000++ water bombs for us to play. Firstly, we were split in groups of having tags and without tags. Those who have tags can get the opportunity to take the water bombs and throw at those without tags ( and I was one of those without tags-the pathetically small gp that was overly outnumbered) Therefore, I ended up playing dodging water bombs as many water bombs were coming towards my head. However, those that managed to hit me mainly hit my shoulders. Then, we were split into another 2 categories- those in YDC and those not in YDC. Fortunately, this time, I was in the group that was outnumbering the other group. Our water bomb attack started and I hit many people's shoulders and head. I hit one person's head and another person's back too, despite I missed a lot too-especially when I aimed at their legs and some of the shoulders as their reaction was too fast..1 dodge a person made can shun around 4 water bombs-not easy to aim. Then, we aimed at our i/cs. If I'm not wrong I think the worst is Jie, Esther and Alvin. Ten over people were chasing Jie and threw water bombs at him. Esther too, she kana a lot as well..but not as much water bombs at Jie, but Esther got 2 -4 throws of water from the pails as some of the water bombs leaked during transportation. Alvin was the worst, the minute he came in, we had finished almost all our water bombs. Hence, they captured him and throw in straight into the mud water he got quite badly scratched in his arm and leg. Although Esther was almost thrown in the mud as well, she managed to get off free with her struggle, hence the price she paid was she got that few pails of tap water. All of us go drenched inside out and that was the end of the 2nd day of the event.

Come to the last day of the event, which was today, I was asked to joined Melissa's group at the parade square so that 2 activities can carry out at the same time. I was in-charge of the 12 x 10m relay and similarly, I had to demo to the kids what are they supposed to do and then take charge of a lane. After a while when they had completed the station, I went back to join Esther's group to help her conduct the 12 x 10m relay again but this time the championship round. I wonder if this is a sure meet scenario or what- I was almost scolded by one of the team leaders as the team I was in-charged of ran extra laps. I almost wanted to shout back at their team leader for not telling her teammates to stop when they completed since she was the team leader and she actually blamed me as a game marshall for not stopping them. Actually is she dont understand the rules larz. All the groups that I handled their team leaders all guided them through the relay and I was only telling them at the side for assistance only.EXCEPT FOR HER!She did not even say anything. She just tell the kids who to run, who to side-step and who to walk then she just stand down there watch free show lolz. In the end, her kids end up doing the wrong things then she blamed me for not explaining to them when they should have known how to play beforehand. Especially her as the team leader larz! All the other team leaders were so clear of the rules that they didnt even need me to explain to them after watching the demo except for a few. But at least the few who dont understand, they frankly say they dont understand and ask for re-explanation lolz. This stupid team leader dont know still stand down there pretend to know like that. After assigning them what they supposed to do, didnt even ask if they really know a not, straightaway let them start the race, still stand down there watch free show even. Then, this round her group ran extra laps. After her rude comment saying that "Then you should have stopped them as a game marshall" in a very bad attitude. I did not want to bother her and I changed sides with Xiao Dan who was taking charge of the same lane as me.

How can she say that I did not tried to stop them. I put my hand in front to let them passed their flag to be as a sign that they finished their relay lol, then they continued to pass to their team mate and run. I haven call they already run all the way liao, shout also no point since they run off already, their team leader still angrily looked at me when her kid was running the extra lap larz . She also never tell the kid to stop when the kid run to the other end liao, she can still stand there looking at the kid finished running his lap even. Then anyhow say is my fault when they treat me as invisible during the relay. End up her team run wrongly in the relay they pushed the blame on me when she didnt even bother to ask me anything when she not sure herself. Act somemore larz, noob still want act pro still down there pretend know everything like that(even though she is supposed to know as well since many of the groups played before) Furthermore dont know already still dont want ask, still down there keep quiet and watch her team play. Then, when I changed sides with Xiao Dan, one of her team did wrongly AGAIN as well. That kid was supposed to side-step but he hopped all the way instead. In the end, their group finished the relay at the WRONG SIDE ALSO. She still didnt say anything ALSO. When the kid was hopping instead of side-stepping, me and Xiao Dan was already speechless at what to say already and I was already very pissed with that idiotic team leader. So, I chose to just keep quiet lol. Then, similarly, that pretend to be clever team leader also said nothing. I just cant be bothered as they also came in one of the last and this was the time when their team ended the relay at the wrong side. Think that woman is freaking ridiculous and got attitude problem larz.

After the championships, we headed for our lunch and followed by performance. Xiao Dan and I missed part of the performance as we were stationed outside the hall to stop parents from entering the classrooms area if they walked in the wrong directions while entering or leaving the washrooms. After a while, Jeff came and brought us to the hall to join in the fun. After part of the sing-along performance, I went to the logistics room for a short nap with some of the game marshalls as we were very tired after helping out. After the nap, we went back to the hall to join in again as we were afraid that they might not be able to find us when they need our help. We received medals as tokens of appreciation for helping out too. After the prize-presentation ceremony, we lined up outside the hall corridor to usher people out of the hall. Then, we were told to gather at the canteen and were furthur split into several groups. Initially, we were asked to arranged chairs for them at the hall for tonight and tomorrow's concert. Then, we were asked to mop the canteen. (a few girls mop the floor and boys shift back the tables and benches) I was supposed to mop the floor at first too. Due to the lack of mops, we were assigned another role-to help them clean the chairs for the concert. The boys who were not involved in moving the benches were asked to shift some other things up to the hall for sale. Up in the hall, we cleaned the chairs that we arranged. Finally, after all the tired clearing up chores we went home.

My cerfiticate of participation...

the book vouchers that I won...

Had a tired day today..mainly because I lost my way...

Firstly, I travelled all the way to Bishan to receive my award for the reading superstar competition (a participation cert and some book vouchers). It was an unexpected award to win for myself as being able to stand out among so many entries isnt an easy task to me. However, I WON!! Hahaz, spent quite some time thinking on how to do this assigned task, drained out a lot of brain juices on it. Finally, I did not let myself down...I would also like to thank my Chinese teacher-Ms Jane Si for giving me this opportunity in letting me participate in this competition and listening to my ideas for the report that I needed to summit and giving me suggestions to improve on it. After my discussion with her, I proceeded to start on to make a powerpoint presentation to present my work ( a 500-word reflection upon reading a selected short story). So, thats what I did for this competition

After getting the prize, I went to Bugis to do some shopping..Basically, window shopping, as I dont have much money left for the week and had to rushed back Tampines to buy dinner for my family. After a short tour aroung Bugis street, I took a bus back Tampines to buy dinner and that's how I got lost at Bugis Street as I forgot which bus stop I needed to go in order to go back. Therefore, I walked round and round Bugis street, repeatedly seeing the merchandise I have been seeing until half an hour to 45 min later, I finally realised that I turned at the wrong juncture. I remembered the road as Rochor Road when it was supposed to be Rochor Canal Road. That's was how I found my way back and then bought dinner and a cup of Vanilla Milk Tea before going back home.

Hiaz.today is a rainy day..I was 'locked' indoors because of the long and heavy rain..Hence, feeling very bored and decided to reflect what I did yesterday. Yesterday's first stop was to school..Practised the same old songs,but this time different as I got new score to practised...Have to spend double efforts on it as I missed many long practices-missing out too much stuff. Then, had sectionals(but spending most of time on my own goups's scores rather than practising with the ensemble). After that went to the bookshop to buy books for next year, followed by going to YDC for my tchoukball training. At tchoukball, I missed out the morning session because of cca, so did my own warm up and then joined the team with the training. Trained to catch hard balls which was like free palm message (practically can feel like got some current flowing in within my palms). Then, did some strength passing, followed by some formation running. Not long after, the tedious training was over. We had a short break and watched Xiao Dan, Sam and Sun Tang played Chinese chess. Xiao Dan was so pro that she won all 3 to 5 matches (didnt really count how many was played,but she won all). I lent Xiu Ming my phone to play while I played a short game of Bingo with Marilyn. The game of BIngo was quite hard to see as the pieces are not really aligned when one put them. So, need some time to see where we wanted to put and also if one really wins the game. After the short games, we were driven to Vivo to do a little test to know more about our leg conditions. There were 3 categories-neutral, over-pronators and under-pronators. People of different categories will be recomanded with different types of shoes. I was one of the over-pronators and thus was recommanded to buy the control shoes to have more support. Many of us were over-pronators as we normally depend on our left legs when shooting. After knowing more about our leg conditions, we went to the food court to have dinner. My next stop was Tampines Mall where I shopped for books and drama again before going home. Oh my, despite being a Tuesday night, Tampines Mall was quite crowded. However, sadly, I only found the books I wanted but not the dramas that I have been looking forward to.

For today, I had made use of my time wisely.

Firstly, I went for tchoukball in the morning and did drills for defending and jumping. I learnt the safer way of catching balls without dropping as much as before and throw with greater strength. Despite my accuracy is not there yet, I am trying to improve on it so that the person whom I will be passing the ball to will have an easier time. Drills on jumping high was done as well and I realised that I am one who cant really jump. Thus, my jumps are not that high for the time being but I'm still trying to jump. Not forgetting the toughest drill for the day was jumping the stairs with my left leg for several times. During the drill, my legs became quite wobbly that I lost my balance many times and had to stop for a while to stable myself. After the drill, I was panting quite hardly and my legs were wobbly. Think that should be a sure case that I will suffer muscle aches for the next few days.

After training, we went out to buy lunch and return to YDC to eat and enjoy a movie. Just ate a dessert as I was not really hungry and watched Mr n Mrs Smith (an action movie with super high-tech facilities). Then, I played table-tennis with some of my teamates which I realised that I'm not talented in it. Most of my balls landed out of the table! I was not really used to the strength that was needed to apply in table-tennis, causing balls to fly all over the place.

That's all I did for the moment and had to go out to buy dinner. Most probably will be spending my night on TV again...

our guitars...

my scores..in a big mess!

our sectionals...

at the funeral

After the funeral

Had a busy week today (practically spending this whole week of my time outside house for long hours), so this entry will just highlight some of the more memorial events of this week. I think that I would highlight more on Tuesday, as it is my busiest day of the week, leaving home 6.30am and coming back at 4.30am.

In the morning, I went for my CCA-did some conducting which bores everyone. Almost all of us did not have the mood to play, hence the pieces played for the session was half-hearted and robotic. To make it worse, we lost tempo every now and then as we wanted to finish the piece fast. Therefore, I made them replay a few times...(they should be quite pissed then..) Besides that, I received new scores to play too. As I was saboed to play the harmonious part, I have to read the scores differently from what I normally do and then realised that what a colour freak I am as I couldnt differentiate what I have to play. Even when I tried to use a pen to mark out, I still couldnt see the notes well, hence unable to practise with the group since I couldnt keep up.

In the afternoon, I went to YDC for my tchoukball practice. It was quite a fun one and I managed to pick up new tips in my gameplay. We did mainly jumping and throwing drills and that was sufficient to cause my whole body to ache for 2 entire days.PAIN!!!! Other than learning tips and skills about tb, I joined YDC as a member for this year, I get to meet some of the staff there and they taught me table-tennis. However, I must admit I do not have talent in that. The ball always either hit the ceiling or somewhere else and only seldom the table. (use too much strength on it) Despite the table tennis ball flying all over the place, I learnt some techniques like how to hit the ball when you opponent use certain way to serve the ball to you. It was quite an interesting game to play, most importantly, it is not that tiring as some other vigorous sports but a high level of concentration is needed.

At night I went for my aunt's funeral. It was a crowded one as many people reached earlier than I do. When I settled down, I began to help out in folding the hell notes that was to be burnt as offerings. We folded and folded and the papers was like never-ending. We completed many bags but they said that it was not enough as the more hell notes the better. Thus, we continued folding and folding, and time passed by in the blink of eye, by the time we still havent finished my dad asked my uncle to drive us home as it was almost 4++ in the morning the next day. Hence, for this day, I only rached home at round 4.30am in the morning, with body aches all over.

The rest of the days of the week was mostly at my aunt's funeral. We offered our prayers and sent her for the last journey.

2007-11-26T15:05:00.000+08:00

In fact, I dont know what to put for this entry's title. A few hours ago, one of my aunts called to look for my mother which I found it weird as I rarely received calls from her. Then, my mother came back talking over her phone. Next, she told me that my aunt who contracted cancer was in a critical condition. Minutes later, when we were just about to leave to see her for the last time, my dad called to say that my aunt died. Thus, we didnt get to see her for the last time...too late still...Even though she left, may god bless her and she will always be in my heart.
Love always..

BaTam TrIp

Just came back from Batam. This trip was 1 of my most urgent trips as the ticket was only bought 3 days before the trip. As it was only a day tour, most of my time spent there was just shopping. Shop, shop and shop. Despite most of the things are much more cheaper than Singapore, this rule does not apply to the Polo shops there. (the prices of their polo products is the same as Singapore) Meanwhile during shopping, I noticed that Batam is filled with Polo shops. One ferry terminal with only 3 storeys of shops already has around 4 Polo shops!

It was quite a pity that I didnt bring my camera phone along. So, I couldnt take pictures. At Batam, we went to their seafood restaurant to have a seafood lunch, 2 temples offering prayers to different gods, dried markets for the local dried products, Batam City Square for shopping and some small little shops as well. I managed to buy a bracelet, a shirt and a keychain back..while my parents bought more of the Batam food products...

some of my collections...

Argh...my computer is crashing soon le!! Thanks to the marvellous works of mine...Trying to compile all my sogs together. Hence, I ended up spending more than 4 hrs on the computer trying to convert my songs from various albums to my computer and then load them into my mp4. It was only today that I finally realised how many albums have I bought myself (think i spent more than hundred bucks of my allowances on those albums liao). Basically, my whole day today was to put in various disc to my computer and converting those songs that I want to my computer and then transfer to my mp4. After much loading, wonder if my computer still can take it, my computer began to run at slower speed, making me worry that it will crash. Well, must start sending POSITIVE THOUGHTS le. Use the tactic of THE SECRET, for my computer cant afford to crash, there is too much precious data for it to crash!!!

Had experienced a tedious day as I left home at round 7 in the morning and reached home around 9 in the night. In the morning, I left to school early to make preparations for my cca gathering and we actually bought 12 loaves of bread to put round 10 different flavours of spread in them. Quite nice, but it was too much to be finished. THEREFORE, we went around distributing sandwiches to whoever we meet (especially the teachers). Then, after finishing 1 tray of sandwiches which more than half was actually distributed to the teachers, we went to play games. However, I just tagged along any group I see to observed how they play. After completing their stations, we went for a short water break and went to play captain's ball. My team got trashed very badly as it was a girls vs boys match. So bad that I lost count of the scores. We played for around 15 min, and we went for lunch while catching up with our seniors.

ClAsS BBQ~3B '07

2007-11-17T18:01:00.000+08:00

Had a class bbq at my bio teacher's condo area..There were lots of food, nice but not really cooked (ate quite a few pieces of half-cooked chicken). Then, there were marshmallows, hot dogs, prawn , cakes (made by my english teacher-super delicious), chicken curry by my physics teacher and noodles by my classmate's grandmother and etc.. After eating, went to chat and see the some of the guys in my class play twister that involves quite some gross images...This is followed by more eating, talking and laughing. Almost forgetting, some of them went into the swimming pool for a swim..Hmm, what else did I forget? Oooo, i brought some take away as there were leftovers, then we took a bus back to Tampines Interchange to 'go home'. However, during the bus journey, I heard about the stories of the poor management tuition centre that Ann Gie goes to and laughed till my jaws ached. Next, we still continued to talk while standing at the interchange not wanting to go home despite it was already 11++. Thus, we followed Ivan to top up his card while talking about that tuition centre when Ivan was feeling uneasy as he drank too much fizzy drink. After, topping up his card, Ivan bought a doughnut from the bread shop we passed by before we headed home...

I finally redecorated my room!Haha, not really larz, basically is more posters all over my room. Then, my parents were quite happy with it as they think that my posters would actually help them save the cost of paint when whitewashing despite they say that I was quite crazy to spend such money. To me, I think that it is quite worth it for now since there are so many different themes. However, I have not really finished packing up room, still got a lot of boring clearing work to do-getting to become simultaneous work again...At least, I got a reward for this hard work. My sister treated me dinner at Fish N Co. We had a bloated dinner there since we ordered a set meal of fish and chips each which came in large proportion..After that, we went shopping but did not get anything. That's all for the day!or clothes due to our vast difference in age gaps. Had a memorable time for today, as I spent my time 'wisely' and enjoyed fruitful results

The seaside...cool and calm...

Our bikes..

Fishing at bedok jetty..for show only

Cheez!

Nice sandcastle?but not built by us

Hmm...went to East Coast Park for a whole day, came back with muscle aches but brought a lot of joy home as well. I went there in the morning, rented a bicycle and cycled almost 2 hours. On the way, I took some photos and i realised that I cant break a bicycle after losing touch with it for several years. Thus, I went either clashing or shouting when I got problems braking. Hahaz, went to the Bedok Jetty there too to take some group photos and enjoy scenery while take a short breaking from cycling. After returning our bicycles, we meet up with the rollerbladers to have lunch. Cant believe that we actually took a 15 min walk(estimated) just to eat hawker food at the Lagoon lolx-for sake of losing calories mah...After our lunch, we walked all the way back and found Marine Bowl for our bowling. It was quite dim there, but I was able to bowl quite well since I perform better than before. Had a long day there, reached home with body aches......

What I have been doing in class...

Today is a funny day. Perhaps is because I got too 'high'. As lessons are getting more and more boring as the days go buy, I am beginning to find more things to entertain myself in class. Know how boring classses are??Zzzzzzzzzz. Therefore, I came up with a 'new entertainment' - I actually SMSed my classmates. Nothing better to do, so chose to SMS so lame jokes around the class. Meanwhile, many of my classmates were SMSing as well, dont think that they are even paying attention...See, really nothing better to do right?

I had tchoukball dinner with my teamates and coach yesterday at fish n co...Ordered a set a terriyaki salmon which was quite delicious and fell for the fries that I had to control myself from eating. Cant believe that we actually cracked almost 2 full hours of jokes!! Woah, laugh till our mouths cant close. I laughed till a stage that I cant stop myself from laughing like our captain-she will start laughing again once someone laughed to her for another time after a joked is made. In the end, our cheeks suffered the most, hurting quite badly after the session. The funny thing is my coach. He could actually get the answer to the joke while reading magazine lolz. Then, many times when people thinking of the answer to the joke already he will suddenly raised his head up and asked, "What was your question again?" Then, everybody started laughing at that again. This shows that boys really cannot multi-task lolx.

Suffered a bad day in class. Suddenly have a headache in midst of doing work for no reason. Worst still, our lessons are SUPER boring...Actually, I intended to sleep in class but i chose to be 'self-high' by answering the chinese teacher's questions after slacking for 2 full hours during English. I was quite unlucky to have many of my workbooks for various subjects being thrown away...All just because I never lock my locker and I just put it for 1 day that happened to be the school cleaning day. Fortunately, most of my textbooks were recovered, if not need to buy more than half of my books again ; all my workbooks except for geography were thrown as well. Is this call lucky or unlucky ne???

Yummy home-cooked dessert....

Fwenz 4eva!!!

Good flexibility...

Quite unexpected that I will get sick so seriously this time..Still thought it was just a normal cold..didnt expect to be throat infection...But then, I get something which I rarely get - me mum cook dessert for me..hahaz,very long didnt have chance to eat dessert le, especially home-cooked dessert(cant buy outside!)~quite touching though cause I didnt expect that. That's the advantage of being sick ba, you might have chances of getting what you like.

Come to think of it, this is the 4th day of holiday class. Everything was boring, boring, and more boredom. I almost fell asleep everytime, if not for my 'witty' ideas to keep myself awake in class. Also, think u guyz cant believe ba, me and ann gie actually took photos of ourselves in class. Can imagine how boring lessons is??? Then, some of my classmates actually played twister during breaktime. Really know how to enjoy ourselves during boring times ya...

Sian sia..today bio spa prac i almost flung it lolz...i cant even remember how to conduct food tests. If I'm not wrong, I think i made some stupid mistakes which I'm not supposed to make. Perhaps can start thinking how badly I will score. Anyway, thanks guyz for cheering me up when we went for the bubble tea!(Particularly, Jocelyn, Ria, Cheryl and Daryl) Can't believe we could actually crap for so long...The most amazing thing is that for the full one to two hours, we were talking about shows, movies and dramas!!! Hahaz, think 3B can be next global connection liao..cause we talked so much about various shows from so many different countries.

Not to forget, today we celebrated belated birthdays for Kai Siang and Daryl too. After giving their presents respectively to them, Shermaine and Jia Jing presented them with a birthday cake. Then, Kai Siang took some cream from the cake and put on Shermaine's face..That's how we started playing larz, quite a number of them ended up with cream on their faces or hands and Natasha was banged by Kai Siang on the back...Some of them helped to cut the cake and distribute among themselves and ended the celebration for their lunch before the bio spa prac.

Hiaz..quite a sad n boring day today, dont really know what to expect for tonight' s meet the parents session. Thus, qutie nervous about it since I predicted that something bad will happen...Maybe is got nagging ba, or is it scolding?Er, maybe will experience pressure on wanting me to make decisions like dropping to sub-science immediately? All in all, I should say that I dont know what to expect. However, think I will be quite sad and emotional if i really got some things that hurt me especially from my parents ba, since i have been taking their comments quite seriously from young. So, hope can choose not to cry today, if not think will affect my training badly tomorrow even though i predicted that i wont play well tomorrow. Sads...

I went to SP today for cheerleading for the GREEN PROTAGONISTS! It was a very well-done presentation of the group, and the animations were interesting. The group came in 1st and attractive prizes were won by them. SP is quite an interesting school and I managed to help them buy hotdogs which were delicious..Sry, got carried off at the thought of food. Our efforts to support this champion group was not wasted at all.

Hahaz..just have a class outing a few days ago during the Make A Difference Day!! Although the CIP was very bad as it rained for a very long time, making grass patches muddy, we need not clear the Pasir Ris beach as CIP :) Instead, we have a free machicken burger and a packet of apple juice as free breakfast that was provided by the school.

After getting our free breakfast, roughly half of our class went for bowling. Cant believe that i actually took a ball that is quite over my limit. Super heavy, and i end up scoring many consecutive zeros since all my ball were not straight. Quite fun though, but as usual, was the lowest scorer in the game. Then, i started playing pool. This is totally chaotic. Unexpectedly, i actually forgot how to hold the stick to play!!! Hence, played quite badly..all my angles were wrong. BUT THEN, I WON!! hahaz,wanna guez y? cuz Kai Siang help me score quite a few balls during the 1st game. Ivan help me play the 2nd game scoring quite some balls in the middle of game. 3rd game i also got some help from Ivan...Hahaz, so, in the end, i still won all 3...tyco ba..

Next, we went to S11 food court for our lunch and played truth or dare..Quite scary though, cause we play super long AND...we were not asked just 1 question...Our questions got many parts..so is like answering 5 questions per spin...All sorts of weird questions were asked and a lot matchmaking was done...However, before that, we were shocked by Kai Siang too. He actually did not alight at the same bus stop with us! Worst still, we were scared that he will go all the way to Woodlands since we were taking 168. In the end, he actually gathered with us with his MacDonalds lunch after we waited for him for around 10 to 20 min, playing polar bear while waiting even. The funny thing is:during our game of polar bear, while i was playing as the guru, i actually gave out too much clues that i was mistaken for the polar bear and was killed at the first round in one of the games.LOLz..That's all for today's entry,very long le. Have fun reading it? Hahaz!~

Just settled down from my tchouckball inter-school competition and was quite satisfied with my team's achievements.My team came in 2nd!!! Hahaz,though only got a few teams participating, really got a lot of fun through the matches-more of enjoying instead of competing...
Come to think of it, it is quite sad though,think got no affinity with champion ba,cause i nvr got a champion before,wonder how it feels like..jkjk...but really quite sad that this year is the last year that i can represent school to play for this inter-schools liao,need chiong for studies le...hiax...
