Get a life. Grow up.

2009-03-29T10:47:00.000-07:00

I'm in the office on a Sunday morning, without anything much to do. My ai ren and girlfriend are both working today and i'm thinkng if i should go down to PP to meet them later.

Sigh, there are like so many things bottled up in me. Is there an outlet for me to let go? So many should and should-nots in life; it's driving me nuts.

On a totally random note, my dad came up to me and said, if i help my sister get her As for her exams, he's going to get me a car. Lol, how does that sound... Tuition in exchange for car; totally worth it right? Haha, and he's going to have a look at the Maseratis later... Hmmm... I am going crazy.

I'm a Ferrari 360 Modena!

You've got it all. Power, passion, precision, and style. You're sensuous, exotic, and temperamental. Sure, you're expensive and high-maintenance, but you're worth it.

"Take the Which Sports Car Are You? quiz.

I took a look at you. That was all i meant to do. and my heart stood still.

2009-03-27T11:45:00.000-07:00

I have to start exercising real soon. Like go running or something. That is because Ms Kon says everyone must take part in the 10km run. Lol, i haven't ran in like months so if you were to ask me to run now, i'll probably do 3 km max and die.. As much as i would like to run, i can't find a suitable time to do so. I have to reach office by 9.30am; plus i already have problems waking up in the morning so the slot before work is totally out. After work will be great as i can just pop by ECP.... Hmm, but XL ends work so late... Haha, maybe i should just go California Fitness.

It didn't help at all when my dad walked up to me one day and said: I think you've put on weight. *Faints* Yay, thanks dad.

2009-03-23T14:00:00.000-07:00

I am totally going to become a zombie. For the past 3 or 4 consecutive days, I have been on the phone talking to my ai ren till the wee hours of the morning. Luckily i dont have to report to work today, otherwise i would be late again.

Speaking of work, some of you may not have realised that I am no longer working in MPC Popular. It was pretty sad for me because my departure was sudden and i wasn't mentally prepared to say goodbye. The memories of my first day stepping into Pop, staring into unfamiliar faces and getting to know more and more good friends are something that will definitely not be forgotten. 12th of March will be a a day i'll remember always... (and that's also because I went to catch the movie Coming Soon, which scared the hell out of me HAHA).

Well, I am currently working at SOT; taking over Claire's place since she is going to focus on studying for her entrance exams into Peking University. Now it's time for me to concentrate on my applications. I am such a procrastinator i can't stand myself at times.

Decisions, decisions... what if i make the wrong one? I feel like im losing my ability to reason.

2009-03-09T23:00:00.000-07:00

The day came and went. Well, i did okay, though my parents weren't very happy with my not-so-perfect scores. As I flipped opened the brochures and read the articles on higher education, i felt so confused; what courses to study, which university to go to, whether to go abroad... it's just overwhelming.

To add to my distress, my relationship with a good friend is strained because of a job opportunity. I know it doesn't help by saying anything now but i hope that maybe someday you'll understand....and that everything will return back to normal. Because i really don't want to lose a good friend just because of this.

The cruel fact of life... As much as we dislike it, can we not not accept it?

Good deed of the day: I have taken out a portion of my first pay to help a Dunmanian in need.

2009-02-26T21:27:00.000-08:00

Today is pay day and i finally went to make my ATM card. My pay was like less than what i expected it to be, but i got to admit that making purchases using NETS is way more convenient. BUT, one big big downside is that, i will lose track of how much i spend, which is really bad.

So after spending my morning at the bank, i met XL (after her training) and we both headed to town. We were initially very enthusiastic about shopping but our mood dampened after realising that we had painted a too-optimistic picture about our paycheck. LOL. So much for our 8K!!! Feeling rather clueless, we went over to The Heeren and found out that there was nothing much there. We walked and walked and it started pouring real heavily, so we decided to seek shelter at Ngee Ann City. So we went to MNG and i saw a nice top and shorts so i bought them. ZZZZ, that's one hole in my pocket already.

Suddenly, XL brought up the idea of cutting our hair and since i've been saying i want to cut my hair for like forever, i was all up for the idea and we went to FAR EAST PLAZA. Apparently, there's this salon i.e Francis and Jean which was once featured in Seventeen Magazine, so we decided to try it out. It's really cheap, like $15 for student cut and if you want to include a wash+blow, its $24. (my usual haircut is like freaking $30-35) Not too bad i would say. While i was waiting for XL to finish hers, a nice lady approached me and asked if i was interested in doing a manicure. Being the 'nails' person that i am, obviously i couldn't resist! But i went for the express one since i had a classic one done about a week ago -.- Now my nails pretty again :D XL did the classic one, and had this pretty pinkish colour. LOL, and while she was digging for coins, she screwed her left second finger and we had to have it touched up. Haha, as i sit here and type, she's telling me over MSN that she has screwed her nail even more.

And, i finally got to stock up on my contact lenses!!!! Sadly, they had no stock and i have to order and wait another 3 days or so. Somehow, im feeling the pinch whenever i spend money. Sooner or later, my mom's going to stop giving me pocket money.... then i'll die!!! Haha, just joking... With so much fats in me, i probably have to starve for months before i can actually die.

~7 days to JUDGEMENT DAY.

2009-02-20T23:15:00.000-08:00

Totally exhausted. I had a bad case of flu which i have yet to recover from and now a splitting headache is bugging me. Darn, a lack of exercise really does make one weaker.

Unhappy things aside, i received this message from an unknown number today. GUESS WHO? It was none other than beloved WEN QIAN. Dear girl is back in Singapore but flying back on 28th. Going to meet up and catch up with her on one of my off days :) Seriously can't wait. I'm like imagining her with some aussie accent.

And i just remembered my weird encounter with this unknown guy who claims to be collecting uniform. So he wants to add the DHS one to his collection. Donation anyone?

Hmmm, it's been so long since....

2009-02-15T23:38:00.000-08:00

Like finally, i get to rest today. I was supposed to have an off day yesterday (which i had already planned to go for the NTU talk with JOJO and socky) BUT 02 came up to me and said that i have to come back to work because there weren't enough people!!! Grrr, in the end i had to pangseh jojo and socky. I hate this. So i was grumpy all day, and the fact that there were many people just made my day alot worse.

Thankfully, Xiuli had the same meal shift as me so we ate and went shopping at Parkway. It's always nice to eat with someone. Also, i want to thank PEIXIN,YUTING,SHERMAINE and SHUE LING for coming down to visit me:) So sorry y'all had to wait for so long! Apparently, i was told they came when i was having my dinner and they waited like from one end of Pop to the other! You cannot believe how surprised, and at the same time happy, i was when i saw them! Sadly, they left shortly after because i didn't have the luxury of time to talk to them...

Today, i caught the movie: The curious case of Benjamin Button. Personally, i thought it was a pretty good film. It's been long since i've watched something so touching. I teared like 4-5 times throughout the movie; though the movie is like 2h46mins long, it wasn't draggy and ended well. Definitely not those movie endings which make you go "huh?" Lol, my $9.50 was well spent. After the movie, i finally went to buy my wallet from River Island. My sister was hunting for her schoo bag until she finally got one she fancied from Animal. I couldn't control my desire to eat ice cream, so i went over to Anderson's to buy my fav flavoured ice cream: RUM AND RAISIN <3 Hmmm, but it still cannot be compared to SCOOPZ at parkway.

Highlight of the day: I received a parcel from my uncle from UK. Not a big one, but it was buried in some much bubblewrap i had some difficulty trying to uncover what's underneath. I thought it probably was going to be some kind of music player but guess what? It was a friggin camera. A pleasant surprise i would say. But it's weird he would suddenly buy this for me... electronics there are like more expensive? A 2GB memory card costs 40 pounds (approx.100 sing dollars); my mom says it should be able to get us an 8GB one here? NOT SURE.

So goodbye to my Sony DSC L1. This one's only 4.1 megapixels and the new one's like 12!!! But in terms of style, i still like this one better because it's a really unique metallic bllue. The new one's just silver. I'll see how i can beautify it:)

Little Britain is a character-based comedy sketch show. The show comprises sketches involving exaggerated parodies of British people from all walks of life in various situations familiar to the British. These sketches are presented to the viewer together with narration in a manner which suggests that the programme is a guide - aimed at non-British people - to the ways of life of various classes of British society. Despite the narrator's description of great British institutions, the comedy is derived from the British audience's self-deprecating understanding of either themselves or people known to them.- Wiki

Happy New Year to all!

Finally a break to get away from working life. Working is so mundane and just tiring. But it's fun to know that you have a friend (aka XL) there with you and that you get to know so many new friends. I don't know if the term 'friends' is appropriate because after all, it's only about a week. Nice to see people like Joanne, Mdm Koh and Jun li coming down to visit us :) You can't imagine the feeling of seeing your good friend again!

Introducing Mickey:

Cute right? It's 5 months now... Really small...

2009-01-15T22:17:00.000-08:00

The 5 of us celebrated Nicholas's birthday on 5th Jan at Suntec! Caught Bedtime Stories and ate at Donut Factory. It was really really sweet of Jobina, Nic, Jess and Clari to bake cookies in the morning for us. Lol, there were some quirky shapes, e.g a lizard (which Nic baked esp for Francesca despite knowing the fact that she dislikes/is scared of them), monster, treble clef and many more... Thanks so much :)

On Friday, Fran, Jobi, Nigel and I plus Nic's mom and sis sent him off to Tekong. Yanwen and his family were present too so all of us stuck together pretty much. In the end, Nigel didn't get up the bus; i guess it's because he wants to reserve that feeling for his first time. So we took the ferry and had a trip around the camp while the guys went to settle some administrative matters. We had a "final" lunch at the canteen before they had to go. Guess what? Saw Junli doing exercise. Lol, i bet he's the tallest one in there cause he stood out from the crowd almost immediately. He waved madly; too happy at the sight of some familiar faces. Haha, this whole experience of sending someone off is quite interesting; makes me wonder what it will feel like if i have a brother...

Currently, i found a job together with XL at popular. A rather measly pay but at least i don't waste my time rotting at home. Shall just make do with it for a while (cause i did tell the manager i will work for more than a month) before i ask Ms Lee to recommend me a better one. My dad thinks this is a good experience because i will understand the phrase "hard earned money" better. Well i do now, for my one day's pay isn't enough to get me a hand bag= i am more sensitive to how i spend my money (i hope)= more savings= richer. LOL. My piggy bank has been quite hungry so i shall attempt to feed it soon...

Chinese New Year is coming!!!

2009-01-06T20:53:00.000-08:00

Here i am once again to rant. Basically my life so far has been how it has always been. I NEED to find a job like real quick. Anyone with contacts? Went back to school on 2 DEC, celebrated Nicholas's bday yesterday. Going to watch Ponyo, Marley & Me....

This may be kinda late but i thought of some New Year Resolutions:

1) Lead a healthy life- sleep early and exercise on a regular basis
2) Find a job and earn some bucks
3) Carry on with my volunteer work
4) Lose weight and reach my ideal weight of 48kg
5) Save money... as they say, the way to get rich is to earn and save :D

Hmmm, received some replies from the British unis that i applied to. Really really hoping i can get into Imperial.

As for 2008, this year has gone by faster than any other year (maybe because of A levels?) but i guess there are some really good things that have happened:

1) 7 wonderful friends (Francesca, Xiang Hong, Jobina, Nic, Clarissa, Hui Shan and Jessalyn) in 6C41. Their company, care, concern and just-being-there has made my life a zillion times better. (lol, my sister says they should be called my 7 wonders of the world o.O)
2) Great study partners: Joanne, Xiu Li, Pei Xin and Qian Bing. All the times spent in airport MACs + Mr Bean is something that cannot be erased from my memory.
3) An excellent PW group.

Lol, i can't think of more now... Shall edit in time to come... Oh yes, Good luck to guys who are going to Tekong!

2009-01-01T14:12:00.000-08:00

It's the new year already. The saddest part prollly has to be the end of my student concession.

So, my new year was spent with my sisters+camera. My mom and dad were like chatting with all the aunties and uncles aka old people. So, we decided to take random pictures with my 3 year old Sony Cybershot DSC-L1. My sister can't quit complaining about how lousy the camera is (although it is really not as cool compared to all the new ones now) but unless it spoils, i don't see a reason why i should replace it.

Not to forget, thanks to all people who sent messages to wish me a happy new year. I love all of you! Sorry if i don't reply because somehow, i really dislike using the phone. So, ya, i take quite long to reply at times; please pardon me.

Homecoming's tomorrow. ZZZ, don't know if i can wake up. But i can't wait to see all my friends (:

2008-12-21T00:20:00.000-08:00

5D bbq on thursday, 4j bbq on friday and cycling on saturday!

Cycling was pretty fun; must really thank nigel for "letting us know Singapore better". Lol, you must be thinking why is he the only guy, well, the other guys pangseh-ed him/us. So in short, we cycled from Pasir Ris Park to Suntec City. Lol, this is much further than ECP!!!! Halfway, we stopped by our old school campus! There was hardly anyone there, except for some CO people.

Our return trip was pretty interesting. We followed the MRT tracks, which was supposedly shorter. Well, it is totally different cycling on pavements okay. Not only do you have to constantly make sure you don't knock down someone walking on the pavement, you also have to make sure you don't lose your balance and get knocked down by a car.

Had to cycle up some slopes and seriously i couldn't so i just pushed the bike up!LOL! I went home and slept at 9pm and woke up at 10am today. Super tired. Need to exercise more...

2008-12-17T01:00:00.000-08:00

Today, i swam 50 laps. Very very very long time since i exercised.

Yesterday i couldn't sleep AT ALL.

COCKROACH ATTACK!!!!!

I was playing karaoke party with my sister until like 4am in the morning yesterday; when i was about to sing bleeding love, i spotted this black pest against the white walls of the room. OH MY GOD, it was a cockroach!!!! Holy crap you know the thing that i am most afraid of is cockroaches!!!! I absolutely detest them. Brave me grabbed newspaper and tried to hit it. But my trembling hand failed to kill it in one attempt and it flew to my bed!!!! Seriously, i was like freaked out and i felt helpless. Somehow, after i gathered enough courage to get back on my bed, the cockroach had found another hiding place... (which i highly suspected the place to be behind the wardrobe) So i fell asleep and got woken up at 730am!!! Omg, now im like the most precious panda you can find...

Today, i totally forgotten about the cockroach (or rather i tried not to think about it)... somehow when i reached home and after watching xiao niang re, my sister reminded me to spray some BAYGON under the wardrobe to kill the cockroach. So armed with the pesticide, i went upstairs to get the job done. No cockroach crawled out so i assumed that it must have flew away or something. So i happily wanted to start playing karaoke party (again) when my sister shouted: AHHH cockroach! Omg, i swear it must have been the same one as yesterday but it grew by like a quarter of an inch... Lol, but this time i got my dad to kill it. Tonight i can sleep in peace....

Going to Francesca's house for Christmas Lunch tomorrow! Can't wait!

2008-12-15T23:00:00.000-08:00

Last Friday:

It was my sister's birthday so we went to Vivo City to celebrate. Lol, actually it was nothing more than another shopping trip. Ahhh, there are so many clothes and handbags i want to buy! It's the christmas season and im totally feeling it!

Saturday:

Went shopping AGAIN..(but it was because my sister wanted me to accompany her). We actually wanted to go to town, but she woke up at an unearthly hour of 2pm in the afternoon and my mom wanted us back for dinner so we decided to go to raffles city instead. Frankly, i have a phobia of city hall, partially because it was the place we went to shop for prom stuff and im kind of sick of that place. We bought clothes and ate nice food.

To coffee lovers out there, you should totally try the Starbucks Dark Cherry Mocha Frappucino.

"Dark Cherry Mocha Frappuccino as the name says, combines the usual Mocha Frappuccino with the flavor of dark cherry. The drink tastes only mildly sweet and is rather delicious. It’s almost comparable with Starbucks Dark Mocha Frappuccino with only hint of sweetness and sourness." Yowazzup?Coffee

On my way back, i saw Kheng Hoe. Once again, i received the comment that my sister doesn't look like me. Lol, seriously do sisters have to look alike? But yeah, we don't and i really don't know why.

Today, i went to the library. I borrowed some interesting books, mostly to do with human anatomy as well as the evolution of humans. So far, my holidays are spent on: reading, playing PSP, watching TV, minimal exercise and alot of sleep + eating. To people who are bored, here are some games my sister discovered:

Karaoke Party is an online game where you can sing all your favourite songs and get a score of your performance. All you need is just a configured microphone; usually most computers have built in microphones.
This online game is called isketch. I personally like it alot because it's pretty funny and sometimes you do have to work your brain quite a bit. You join a chatroom and try to accumulate the most points after 10 rounds. The players each take turns to draw a word given to them and the others will try to guess the word. Actually it's just like pictionary. The earlier you guess the word, the more points you get.

This week is going to be pretty packed:
Wed: Christmas lunch with Nicholas, Jobina, Fran, Clarissa
Thurs and Fri: 6C41 Class chalet + 4j BBQ
Sat: Night Cycling

Shall go read my books! Till then.

2008-12-11T17:12:00.000-08:00

I love my 4j girls!!!(from left: June, Shi Ling, me, bingx, jojo) Hope the 4j chalet will be planned and we can all meet and have fun soon!

Tomorrow's my sister's birthday= eat= get fat. Need to exercise.

Currently reading: Hegemony or Survival: America's Quest for Global Dominance (The American Empire Project) by Noam Chomsky. Pretty deep but interesting.

To Xiu Li who is flying off to Shanghai tomorrow: Have fun! + Thanks a zillion for helping me buy stuffs. LOL.

2008-12-09T23:00:00.000-08:00

I need people to send me the prom photos. I only have these 3 pathetic photos because i didn't bring my camera.

Currently, i have decided to engage in volunteer work instead of staying at home. Hmmm, sudddenly i thought of my whole experience in Yunnan last November. Those 2 weeks were the most enriching and fufilling times i ever had since i started doing volunteer work. It made me realise that i have been taking many things for granted for almost all 17 years of my life. Now, i really want to do what i can to serve the community in my own little way...

2008-12-04T19:00:00.000-08:00

Oh man, i was so tired that i woke up at 5pm today.

It is a result of sleeping past midnight for many nights and suddenly having to wake up at 6a.m in the morning to go to school. Yesterday it was our graduation ceremony at the tanjong rhu campus. I was so grouchy and stuff because i slept at like 3a.m the night before.

The ceremony was okay, but i preferred the farewell ceremony. It's been ages since i saw many of my other friends like Fran, Jobina, Clari... because i've hung out mostly with JoJo. My parents went too; don't know why they like to go for such stuff.

So I my dad fetched us home and i didn't have a chance to sleep. Don't know why but I felt all lazy and stuff. There was alot of confusion about meeting at jojo's house and going to swisshotel together. Inititally i wanted to meet with Xiu Li and travel to jojo's house to get made up and dressed. But think of all the stuff i have to bring! In the end, i decided to meet them after i got dressed and we could like cab down together. I had my personal crisis at home; i seriously think i look like shit with make up. To make things worse, i was peeling!!! (result of going for laser treatment which supposedly helps in skin rejuvenation) and you know, peeling= cannot put loose powder=ugly! Lol, but who cares. So my daddy was nice enough to fetch me to jojo's house. (actually it was because he decided to go for dinner with my mom after that) When i reached, everyone had like little crisises, lol until the largest crisis came. QB kinda accidentally broke jojo's aunty's necklace. We were like omg!!!! Goodness and we just dragged until like 7 before we left her house. It didn't take us very long to hail a cab and we were kind of the last people to reach.

The whole night was okay, but you know i felt sianned because of lack of sleep + i was freaking famished!!!! (no breakfast, no lunch) even when dinner was served, i had not much of an appetite. So i wasn't enjoying it as much i had wanted to. Lol, and everyone was dressed so prettily; with all the fancy hairdos and make up! After the whole thing ended, people were having plans to go party. Esp June, who kept bugging me to bring her. As much i felt like going, my physical state didn't allow me to. So sorry June!! In the end, she and QB joined the others who went.

Immediately after i reached home, i bathed and slept for an everlasting 15 hours. LOL!!!! Sorry no pictures because i didn't bring my cam!!! Gotta wait for the kind souls out there to send me!!!

Shall go out tmr!!! I have a craving for SUBWAY!

2008-11-26T23:30:00.000-08:00

Oh my, the last time i posted an entry was in JUNE!
I decided to start posting again because the exams are over and i am pretty bored just slacking around watching cable. I doubt anyone ever reads my page anymore but im going to post anyway.

Monday: Gym session
It's been like donkey years since i've last exercise so met up with Joanne at the gym in tamp. Seriously i think it's like everyone's favourite gym because it's relatively new and its entrance fees are really cheap. It's like $1.50 per entry for anyone 18 and below. And guess what, we saw Hong Yi, Chen Bin, Royston and Darren there too. Lol, well everyone wants to keep fit right. So we used most of the equipment there except the weights and some other stuff which i have no idea what they're named. Plus, Royston kindly reminded us to tone our arms so that we don't get the 'butterfly syndrome' which im pretty sure all of you know what im referring to.

After we left the gym, we really had no idea where to go; bowling, watching a movie, cycling, studying.... in the end we decided to eat at this hongkong cafe and we watched madagascar 2 at century square. The tix were 6 bucks since there was some student promotion. I really don't know how much movie tix cost on weekdays. The last movie i catched was wild child on a sat and the tix was like 10 bucks. So we headed home after the movie ended and i kind of suffered from muscle aches and stuff. Unfit me.

Tuesday: Cycling
At first i didn't want to go cycling because i was tired and just felt like staying home. However, Joanne convinced me to go and i went. Decked in slippers and shorts i met Jo, Xiu Li, Wei Lin and Q Bing at Pasir Ris MRT. For some reason we decided to rent the bike for a whole day, actually it's 7 hours for 12 bucks. Lol, lucky joanne managed to convince the uncle to charge her 10 for the smaller bike. So, we cycled from Pasir Ris to ECP. God, it seriously wasn't too bad except for the sun (now im peeling) and there were a few instances when we had to cross main roads w/o traffic lights. Seriously, i was pretty freaked out. I'm not sure of the distance but to and fro couldn't have exceeded 20km i think. We were lucky not to be caught in the rain and we must thank wei lin for introducing a short cut back to Pasir ris athough the route was pretty dangerous.

But i sucks that i fell and now i have this ugly bruise + cut on my thigh. Totally unsightly. ZZZZ. haha, and we coined a new term ASS-P which just stands for ASS PAIN. Imagine cycling from 1130am to 6pm. Nobody's ass could have tolerated the uncomfortable seat. Still, it was really great to be able to catch up with friends and enjoy the outdoors together. I would love to go again but i'll make sure that i'll wear shoes and not park my bike next to a pile to angry ants.

Today: Gathering at Shi Ling's house.
Actually the gathering only involves SL, Joanne, Moses and me. It's been like 4 years since i've last seen moses! It's really great to be able to meet up. Before meeting them, i went to Pasir Ris (yes again) library with my irritating little sister. I was very late (supposed to meet at SL at 130 but i was only at tamp) and made things worse when i got lost. Man, i really really really SUCK at taking buses. So i followed SL's instructions to take bus 70 from Paya Lebar station and i happily got onto the bus 70 i saw and roughly about 20 minutes later, i landed myself at the concourse and realised i was going the wrong direction. So i crossed this idiotic overhead bridge (remember, i was still suffering from muscle ache) and waited like 10 mins for 70 to come. So i tried to pay like extra attention for the sign board which says lorong ah soo but somehow didn't manage to see it and i got lost again and landed myself at serangoon central. I was really quite desperate and i called SL again and finally i got onto bus 70 again and went back 2 stops. By then, 3 of them have already finished 1 round from the game of life which was prolly at 3pm? Like god, i felt so paiseh okay....

So we went over to SL house to play her Wii. It was quite fun but the starting was really horrible, for me at least because my rythmn is so sucky. It got better when we switched to playing sports and rabbids. Seriously, boxing gives you muscle ache. You need like short bursts of energy that will really tire you after that. Joanne enjoyed herself so much that she started dancing! We had dinner at heartland mall and managed to catch up on some stuff while eating. We stayed till about 930pm and went back. So i went back with Moses, who was really nice. He's always someone nice and chatty. When i reached home, which was at about 1045, i seriously thought my mom was going to bite my head off but she didn't say anything. Haha, lucky me.

Going shopping tmr.

2008-06-30T22:36:00.000-07:00

Went cycling with Fran, Xiang Hong, Clari and Nicholas today. Lol, seriously i think its the furthest I've ever cycled. We cycled all the way from ECP to Changi Beach (think airport). I think the distance must have been like plus minus 10km.

My butt hurt like crap!!!

Halfway through Fran showed us her superb balancing skills by cycling with no hands. Okay, so Nicholas and I attempted to try. Ya Ya, Nicholas is such a sporty person he managed to master it in quite a short period of time. Me, ain't so lucky. I got it too okay but it was after i fell like 2/3 times. That Nicholas still laugh laugh laugh. He pro mah.

The whole thing was fun, especially when we could cycle and hear the planes taking off and landing. Haha, instantaneously i thought it would be good for emo people to like just cycle, listen to music and emo to themselves.

We took 196 back and poor Nicholas lost his "not even 1 day old" hp pouch. So Fran and I accompanied him to the bus control room in an effort to retrieve his pouch. The uncle was so friendly he went and help but alas, his pouch was gone. People these days. Just return whatever doesn't belong to you!!!

We left, and on our way to the train station, we came across this really crazy old man. He started singing crazy stuff:" 1 handsome, 2 pretty, take my brochure...." Seriously, we were freaked out when he trailed us for some distance.

if only we could be so carefree everyday....

I walked over to the living room and i smelt smoke. So, naturally, i thought my neighbours were having a bbq and thought nothing about the smell.

Subsequently, i walked over to the balcony and goodness, i saw like this friggin haze and i got a headache instantly. Then my crazy mother took the hose and started spraying to disperse the smoke.

Guess what?

My neighbour's house caught fire!

There were like 3 fire engines, 2 police cars and alot of ba gua people. Me, a nose parker myself went out to see what happened. LOL, seriously, the no. of fire fighters is not proportional to the size of the fire. =.= I didn't actually see the fire, so it couldn't be that bad.

Sometimes, people just like to make a mountain out of a molehill.

HAHA.

2008-06-27T20:25:00.000-07:00

Common test finally over; but it's short lived happiness. Totally gonna die when i get back my papers. Besides, A Levels is just a mere 4 months away. I really should have spent my holidays better. I thought i was well prepared for Chem; turned out to be otherwise. Plus, i really should have studied harder for Bio. Cramming last night was terrible. Never mind, i will work harder.

Went out for lunch with the girls after our Bio paper. I was really tired, having slept at 1 the night before. I totally killed myself when i reached home and instead of taking a nap, i went to play my PSP. Lol, did i mention i totally loved the game: Taiko no Tatsujin. It's actually a series of rhythms games which are prolly like the only kind of games i like to play. I just realised that throughout my whole life the games i've played consists of only: Gunbound, O2 Jam, Audition Sea, Virtual Tennis and this. Under Nicholas's influence, i did try to play Grand theft auto, but seriously, im quite hopeless at it.

Totally cute characters.

On another note, we are going cycling on Monday!!! Its been ages since i last went cycling. Now, i have to complete my SGC. ZZZ.

2008-06-15T22:29:00.000-07:00

Met up with Joanne yesterday to study before going for class. Lol, but productivity was rather low; partly because i slept rather late the night before. So after studying for about 2 hours, we decided to walk over to the "nice candy shop" in bugis. We just couldn't resist the temptation of buying candy although they were so pricey. Haha, we succumbed in the end.

Total price: $7.80. Spending money to increase my chances of contracting diabetes. ZZZ. I got totally hyped up during class because i saw a certain someone!!! It was Mr tomithy too; our relief GP tutor some months ago when miss toh had chicken pox. Lol, i went to say hi to him and it was a awkward. But he remembered us, or at least he say he did. Turns out to be he was a student there too.

Today, i went to play tennis!!! It's been ages since i held my racket. Re-gripped it too.

It was really hot and of course, we can't forget out best friend

.
.
.
.
.

Look, there's Daddy, Mommy and Baby sunblock. =.=

We played all the way from 3-6pm and in the midst of playing, my 3 cousins came to join us. Somehow, it became a kids tennis camp...

Lol, later in the night, we were feeling bored and decided to take random shots of my youngest sister. (Before that, my sister was totally hooked onto playing the Nintendo DS- Cooking Mama! She recommends the game. Warning: Addictive)

LAME!!!

2008-06-13T17:41:00.000-07:00

I guess everyone must be mugging really hard now.

This holiday is meant for mugging anyway. Well, i haven't exactly been making the best use of my time. But i'm not exactly feeling guilty; although i do get nightmares of not being able to finish my revision. I will just try my best.

Just last week, it was the last session of going to the moral home. Come to think of it, it has already been a year. Time really flies. It was supposed to be a special day; bringing the residents to our school and stuff. Somehow, everyone was just tired and the residents weren't really enthusiastic themselves. The loudspeaker went, providing entertainment for us 24/7. Siew Hoon (my all time best friend aka Henry's girlfriend) went too. It was quite funny to see Henry cry because he misbehaved and couldn't follow. The events followed up one by one; chalk drawing in the parade square, ball in the hall, lunch in the canteen, movie in the LT and lastly the telematch. Everyone was really tired by the end of the day.

Somehow i just felt it was rather sad. We didn't do a proper farewell; the residents didn't know it was our last session with them. At that point of time, i thought of how the residents will ask: "When will you come again?" and the next time we see them, they will be so eager and tell us that they had been waiting to see us. After all, it's quite sad for them to be cooped up in the home and the interaction they get is so little. Well, i guess that marks the end of CIP for us. I really wouldn't mind volunteering my service again with other organizations after As.

So yesterday after class i went to study with Joanne at bras basah mac. Lol, it's been like eons since i studied outside. But that place is rather conducive and it made me change my stand a little on how it is ineffective to study outside. Halfway through, my precious 3 dollar NEW G-TEC pen dropped on the floor and its tip bent 90 degrees. Joanne just kept laughing and laughing like it was the funniest thing on earth ok when i was like moaning over my pen. SO RETARDED.

Just to digress, i wonder if any of you have come across this candy called: GREATABLES.
One day, i was with my sisters and we walked past this shop and suddenly both of them squealed:"OMG! Greatables!" and in the next second, they purchased it. I was puzzled(like duh!) and to my horror they told me it the super nice rubber band candy. It is sick i tell you, i cannot imagine how anyone can eat it.

Here's how it looks like:

Of course, nothing beats seeing a cute dog at the end of the day.

Cropped off my face cause its too ugly. Till then.

2008-05-24T20:00:00.000-07:00

Okay, so yesterday was ODAC's step-down party. Hmm, i wonder if stepping down is an appropriate term because we still have a session with the moral home. A formality i guess. But anyway it was quite fun and really appreciate the juniors having to spend time planning the games and bbq for us.

So we took a train all the way to Bedok and took a bus + walk quite a distance. I mean, you know how inaccessible ECP is right? But, i shouldn't complain because there is one brave soul out there who walked all the way from Parkway to ECP. Haha. So while waiting for the others to arrive, we just played around. Initially it was me and joanne trying to learn some soccer skills from royston and jun ming. Slowly more and more joined and we played monkey soccer.

Not long later, Arthur came over and we were told that we had to play a game. So we walked over and what i saw was just some black trash bags laid out and it had alot of soap on it. The first thought that came to my mind was: "Are we going to roll in this?" The thought of getting wet irked me quite a bit because i had no change of clothes. (due to some miscommunication) But anyway i was quite relieved to hear that we were just supposed to walk on it.

We had to pair ourselves and transport a ping pong ball using the most ridiculous parts of our bodies, i.e waist, cheek, neck... forehead was even suggested. As lame as it may sound, we actually had quite alot of fun because everyone looked and moved so hilariously. I felt like a total retard doing it!!! I didn't quite enjoy the BBQ because 1) I don't particularly like bbq-ed food, except sausage/crab stick 2) My stomach is weak; usually i will get a tummy upset. So i ate really little so my dinner was nothing more than 2 packs of green tea and bits of satay+chicken chop and 1 otah. I wasn't really hungry anyway.

Halfway through, Joanne, Shi Ling, Shu Min and I went over to "emo" at the breakwater. Lol! it wasn't emo actually, just getting together to talk. Hmm, really miss the days when we could just go out, eat nice food and talk throughout. But i believe those days will return. As it was getting late, Mr Koh came over and talked to us; somehow like closing this episode. He gave out tokens of appreciation to our chair and vice chair Kenny and Shermaine. Guess what? I received an award too, some outstanding award which in essence was 100% attendance. A borders book voucher! Borders is one of my fav shops. Lol, seems like i'll be making a trip down there again.

When the teachers left, the yr6s stayed to played some game but i didn't because i didn't want to go home alone. My dad was nice enough to come and pick me up. I was kind of spooked because i was walking all the way back to the food centre myself and it was dark. As a result, i was walking alot faster than usual and by the time i got into the car, i was sweating.

That kind of ended my day and i went home to finish watching ANTM. Haha, guilty.

Today, i awoke and guess what? I has freaking DIARROHEA. Like omg, that's how weak my stomach is. As a result, i was "locked" at home!!!! My lunch date+ sending Ces and Jobi off ---> cancelled!!!! I can't believe my holidays are starting like this. So i was feeling bored and i decided to paint my nails.

Totally amateur but it was to kill time!!!! Bad lighting though. As you can see i practically wasted alot of my time again. Shall start studying next week.

Hope my stomach gets better for lunch with Joanne and QB tomorrow!!!

2008-05-22T19:47:00.000-07:00

In case you people out there think i have disappeared because i am busying mugging or something, you are totally SO WRONG. Rather, i am busying myself with watching ANTM cycle 10 on youtube and reading Patricia Cornwell. Totally nice.

Feeling guilty for wasting my long weekend achieving nothing at all, all time spent on shopping and just slacking around. Guess what, when i was at orchard on Monday, i saw Mr cassidy soh. My dad who was beside me said: Is that your classmate?
Me: So not.
Like really, i have to admit he doesn't look his age.

Life is just so static, boring me to death at times. I guess i have just reached this stage where i go to school everyday just because i have to, not exactly looking forward to anything. This, i think is really pathetic. Plus, i get this feeling when most around me are feeling the same.

Just some random happenings in my life:
1. I removed my braces last week
2. Got my retainers yesterday<--- suckiest thing on earth
3. My parents bought a new washing machine
4. Stephanie meyer has a new release and i want it
5. We (Jobi, HS, Fran, Ces, Jess + me) learnt touch rugby from mr Siva today. Seriously, i think its a rather funny sight to see a group of girls falling over each other.
6. I still HAVE NOT received my bp yet.
7. Sundays have become my swimming days.

I want to watch movie.

2008-05-06T19:33:00.000-07:00

It's been like one million years since i came here.

I have been so preoccupied with reading my books!!! I feel so guilty because being addicted to reading has made me neglect my schoolwork. As a result, i didn't study for my chem test. Maybe didn't study is too extreme but what i did was to merely read through my notes and do some last minute revision. Plus it's the 2 most difficult organic chem topics and my physical chem is quite sucky. In essence, i'm all prepared for retest. This is an example of bad self control.

In case you are wondering what book im currently into:

The books are sequels to the previous one so it can get really addictive. Plus, it's the second fiction book (Other than Shadow of the wind) that i enjoy reading so much. Ironically, this is partially a romance novel and you know i am not inclined to reading lovey dovey stuffs. But god, after reading this, i would really like to try dating a vampire. Crazy isn't it.

Now you see, i spend my time reading stuff that will NOT help my GP but instead waste my time fantasizing on crazy stuff. HAHA.

Yesterday i ran 2.4km myself, which is quite sad because i was lonely ): But it could have been worse if nice people like the girls around the field didn't cheer. I felt so idiotic every time i ran past and they will be like JIA YOU JIA YOU. But it was nice anyway; i really appreciated it. I went to play soccer right after my 2.4 run. Lol, i realised that i cant shoot with my left foot.

As for today, we decided to slack so we went to Ghim Moh for lunch!!! Haha, practically slacked our time away. Jobina introduced us some fish noodle which actually tasted quite nice. Dessert time was our fav!! 3 cheers for honeydew sago!!! Poor clarissa who detests honeydew. Lol, but i guess it couldn't have been that intolerable since the smell wasn't too strong.

Dr Yap returned us our bio test during lab today. He die die also didn't want to return us during tutorial yesterday. (Guess must be because he anticipated that many will pon lab today) He was telling us horrible stuff like: You all did very badly, don't be too eager to see your results.... and words along that line. But he suddenly said the highest was from our class and he was "hmmm, index no 11 or 12?" and there he left us guessing. That's dr yap and his ELEMENT OF SURPRISE. Surprisingly he didn't say NTW (i.e not to worry) which is like he pet phrase. ZZZ.

Shall read my book now!!!!

2008-04-22T19:00:00.000-07:00

BIO SPA is finally over!!!! Dr yap isn't in school today so miss tan took over. My hand is aching even as i type now. Must be the after effects of using 5 pieces of foolscap paper and writing at godly speed. Towards the end, i realized that i was writing too fast and basically just took my own sweet time to finish the paper.

Some trivial but rather amusing things have happened today:

1. I went to the library to return my book and pay my fine of a dollar. Amelia was like: omg! 1 dollar! Before i could even say anything, the librarian was like: Qian Bing is worse!!! Feeling rather puzzled at why she made that statement, i stared blankly at her until she showed my a list of people who paid fines. Right beside QB's name the amount stated was $8.40. What can i say? PRO.

2. We finished our practical exam and left the school by the back gate. Nicholas suddenly popped a random question: "Where can i go and buy nice clothes?"
Me: I dont know, i dont shop for guy stuff.
Xiang Hong: You going out arh?
A few minutes later we hear Jobina running towards us. Apparently she heard over conversation. Excitedly, she said she knew where to get nice clothes.
Us: So where?
Jobina: Salvation Army!!!!!

LOL!!!! In case you were thinking that she was being sarcastic, you are so wrong. To quote nicholas, it sounded as if "that place is her all time favourite hang out". It cracked all of us. OMG, jobina never fails to make us laugh.

On another note, i think im rather addicted to skipping mass pe. I have skipped a total of 3 times this month!!! 2 was because i was sick, yesterday was just because i didn't feel like going. But it feels really good when you get to reach home very early and slack. Really miss those good days. As a result, i didn't do my 2.4km with the rest.

Currently reading: Who's watching you.
Mine is a different cover though cause its the newer paper back version.

Book description: The threat of terrorism and the corresponding climate of fear encouraged by the government have together eroded our freedom to live our lives in peace and quiet away from the prying eyes of hidden cameras. The government is tightening its grip on us by watching and recording what we do. They are doing this because they know they can and because knowledge is power. But exactly who are "they" and why do they want to know so much about us? This book includes chilling, accurate, and up-to-date descriptions of the methods the government (and private company proxies) use to watch us.

Interesting :)

2008-04-18T16:40:00.000-07:00

Phew, its like Friday once again. The week has been a very very dry one.

Tuesday: Dr Yap went through our mock SPA. Like goodness, i seriously doubts if he conscientiously marks our scripts. Like Nicholas has missed out the whole portion on safety measures and precautions yet he gets an L6 for something he didn't write. LOL! I cracked when he told us about it. Everyone just goes tsk tsk. It was Jobina's b-day too and we went to ghim moh to celebrate! It was for once we had nothing much to do.

Wednesday: Canoe polo! Somehow i got addicted to doing paddle row that i am suffering from its after effects now, that is waist muscle ache. Now that I've learnt it, i do not abhor capsizing that much. But it was shitty after i went home because i developed some kind of disgusting rash at the neck area. I told Joanne and she in turn told me she also had rash but at some other parts of the body. I guessed it much have been something to do with the dirty water or the life jacket. It's getting better now after taking Francesca and Clarissa's advice of spamming calamine lotion.

Thursday: NAPFA test 5 items.
Sit and reach: 50cm (it was actually 53 but miss lee said i had long nails!!! i swear my nails wont even 3 cm long!)
SBJ: 190cm
Shuttle run: 10.9s
Sit-ups: 40
Inclined pull-ups: 19+2 (you must be wondering what the + 2 is about....)

So i was doing my pulls and i was laughing like crap for whatever reason and after hitting 19 (when we only need 18 to get A), i stopped. I walked away and Mr yap was like: Because you smiled, i shall give u bonus 2 pull ups. LOL! I didnt think there were "free gifts" in PE too.

Today: GP was really fun for once. I did grpwork with Francesca and the question was: Discuss the importance of religion in society today. Things got interesting because she is a Christian and i strongly believe that there are no gods or any other form of higher being. Plus, the world is increasingly secular! So it wasn't difficult for us to take the 2 opposing stands.

I have so much work to do over the weekends because i am lagging like nobody's business. Time to catch up.

2008-04-11T11:35:00.000-07:00

PW results released today. All i can say is im happy with my results.

On a totally different note, my sis has this really cute penpal from SJI. Cute as in the way he writes his chinese letters. Lol, its part of the chinese programme in our school and apparently the SJI boys who took part are the supposedly chinese elites of their institution. Haha. Pure entertainment.

AND,

I received messages from beloved Wen qian from Australia. She did well too so i feel really happy. Love my group too much!!!!

2008-04-10T23:50:00.000-07:00

This is my 600th post.

Anyway, the queue for subsidised bus service payment is totally a waste of my time and energy. I queued for ONE WHOLE HOUR. It was supposed to be much faster but random idiotic groups of people just cut the queue like nobody's business. Plus, it was so stuffy and all, I swear i almost had an outburst. So after queuing for one hour and it was finally my turn, there was another problem.

Auntie:So where's your card?
Me: I lost it.
Auntie: You sure? It's TEN (note that she stressed on the ten word) dollars you know. Maybe you can go home to check.
Me: Er, i dont think there's a need. I lost it like half a year ago.
Auntie: (gives me a WHAT? face. i bet she must be thinking how the heck i can get up the bus w/o my card) Anyway, i will tell all the bus uncles to check for the cards in future. (Wah, she's indirectly saying that if i dont buy i will not ever be able to board the bus!!)
Me: Okok i buy.
Auntie: Ok, TEN dollars. Thank you. (totally profit driven)

So i spent ten dollars on a piece of paper. It's not like i have a choice right? I better make sure i don't lose it for the second time because second replacement is 75 bucks.

What a day.

2008-04-09T22:50:00.000-07:00

Somehow, i think i have recovered from all the weird illnesses that i had.

Anyway i had dental appointment today. Right after assembly, i cabbed down to the hospital. It pays to be early because i got to see my dentist earlier than the scheduled time. Lol, guess what! Remember not too long ago when i mentioned that Nicholas had elbowed my mouth during pe yada yada... leading to my teeth bleeding? My dentist checked and realised one of the brackets(little squares on the teeth) actually broke and came off! That stupid tiny thing cost me an extra 50 bucks just to get it replaced!!! But the good news is, i can remove my braces next month. YAY.

So i waited for my dad to come make payment and he sent me back to school for tennis. It was so fun because only 7 people turned up. Many went for the CSC talk. BUT, the weather was so freaking hot!!!! Because coach didn't want to be in the blazing hot sun, he asked me, jiamin, gabriel and jingwen (yr 5 guy) to plan in the other court. OMG, i swear we all melted. I think im getting a headache now because of all that exposure to the sun.

Anyway life is really getting suckier by the moment. Econs test next week and i have NOT studied for it. Mock SAT and stuff..... like god, i can just die. PW results will be realised on friday. Good lord, i feel hopeless.

What can i do? Just whine and whine and whine.

Interesting moment of the day: Dr yap appeared in the chinese papers. It was an article abt how the new edn minister wants talents like him. Like omg, i didn't know he made tt many groundbreaking researches. Really a talent. Prof okay, no joke. This stirred quite a huge commotion in my class. As you know, he's our beloved bio teacher. Haha, people who want a glimpse of the article can visit my classroom. The article is proudly pinned onto our noticeboard.

2008-04-08T21:20:00.000-07:00

YAY! Bio mock spa over! It wasn't difficult but don't know if will score well. After all, Dr yap is so strict.... Sadly there's econs case study test next week ):

Nothing much to blog about so I shall just post some tennis pictures! Thanks to nice Kek who sent them to me :)

2008-04-05T14:45:00.000-07:00

It has been a really unproductive week for me.

I am like sick for the whole week, thus not being able to do any single piece of homework at all. Lucky me, i went ahead of tutorial so im not really lagging in any way.

But it sucks being sick for the whole week you know. Despite eating all kinds of medicine, i can't seem to get better. Feeling so shitty right now i really wish i could just die.

Plus Nigel wong has NOT returned me my photosynthesis notes. If he doesn't return it to me tmr i can just go and die because i have mock SPA on tuesday.

Good heavens, i don't think life can be any worse than this.

2008-04-01T20:00:00.000-07:00

Went to see the doctor after a super long day in school. I got an MC but hopefully i'll be better tomorrow so i can go to school.

Bio prac was not as bad as it was because dr yap allowed us to discuss. I totally can't believe it. Next week is MOCK SPA Skill A!!! In case you haven't seen properly, its skill A= double weighting and we only have 2 mere practices before mock. Real assessment in week 6 which is like so so so near. Lol, when Yue zhi heard of the dates, she mumbled sthg like: We're screwed... *nods in agreement*

I realised its April already, and i haven't started revising anything!!! I must start soon.

All bad things happen together! Just when work start to pile, teachers don't come and my body goes haywire. How wonderful is that. Sigh Sigh sigh.

On a lighter note, it's Jessalyn's birthday today!!!! Our class's april fool baby (: I doubt nobody will celebrate my bday for me because everyone will be busy mugging for a levels ): Most prolly i will be too busy myself.

But i firmly believe there's always something good to look forward to in life.

2008-03-31T20:30:00.000-07:00

SICK.

Skipped mass pe because i was feeling so feverish and groggy. It was as if i could cough my lungs out.

I feel so horrible ):

2008-03-29T23:45:00.000-07:00

Random photo of the day.
Somehow, i feel like going on a holiday now.

Thursday:
Because Miss Toh didn't come, i left school almost immediately after dismissal at 1.15pm. Went for lunch with Nicholas and Clarissa. Saw Mr Helmi!!! He's still the same old guy; to think he remembers us. Actually it wasn't that difficult. At that time he only took H (his form) and J class. So if he didn't recognize us as a member of his form, we must be from J.

Friday:
The higher education and scholarship talk was okay but not all info was applicable to me. Well, i have chosen to take the tough route; higher chances to be in for alot of disappointment but all the more i will work hard to achieve my goals. But as Ms Tan told me, i should keep my options open.

After that, i went over to Suntec city!!! Saw alot of people like Zhi Hao, Hui qi, janice, Shue ling, june blah blah. Harris is such a nice place. I bought books again. Currently reading: Grotesque by Natsuo Kirino. Till date, i haven't read a single book that could interest me as much as Shadow of the Wind and i doubt i will ever find a comparable book.

I wanted to go for a haircut just now but decided against it because i was too lazy.
I am proud of myself for being able to squeeze the whole chapter of respiration onto a piece of paper.

Somehow, dr yap's asking us to do the mindmap is rather helpful. I feel as if i can chant Kreb's cycle in my sleep.

2008-03-25T18:21:00.000-07:00

I need to rant.

Spent 5 hours in the study lounge today. 5 hours you know!!!! In case you think it's fun when teachers don't come, i beg to differ. It just means that i will have more make up lessons which is very bad. Our class now owes 10 chem periods, 4 bio periods and 6 econs periods. If this continues, no more June holidays for us.

But anyway i have concluded that the study lounge is a really good place for one to do work. I agree with the poster right on the door which says: "Maximum mugging output". Although i really detest the word mugging, I find myself more productive than when I am in the foyer. So i was digesting my respiration notes and realised that the topic is really interesting. Except for the fact that there are so many things to memorize.

Tomorrow is another slack day because mdm koh is not coming.

Haha, i am off to watch tv!!!

2008-03-21T14:13:00.000-07:00

Thursday

As it was raining, pe was held in the hall. So we were broken up into groups and i was grouped with Nicholas and Jing Wen. Lol, guess what? Just at one instant when Nicholas had wanted to do some big move, he smashed the ball right with me and before i knew it, i was on the ground. I cut my lip together with his hand. I tasted blood and like goodness i think it was a mixture of his and mine. Seriously, he bled more that me and i felt quite guilty. Zzz, but it left me a swollen lip which was so ugly la!!!

So i went home and slacked my day away.

Highlight of the day: Someone told me something which shocked me and god, I CAN'T BELIEVE it!

Friday

3 hours of my good friday was spent at the moral home. We held activities like easter egg drawing but bulk of the time was watching ratatouille. So i went shopping in the afternoon!!! But i had a very interesting encounter before i left the house. When i was in the toilet combing my hair, my youngest sis shouted out:

YS: Look! There's a furry little dog outside the house!
Me: Aiya, shut up, don't lie to me.
YS: No im not lying! It's really very cute!!!

Walks outside and to my surprise, there really IS a cute little puppy!

Check it out!!! Don't you feel like cuddling it? So we went to around asking who's dog this is. Like finally a kind uncle recognized the puppy and told us which house it belonged to. So we returned the puppy to its owner. Awww!!!! It was so cute la!!!!

Had a great time shopping.

Dinner was at my auntie's restaurant because my cousin just returned from Australia. Didn't eat much because i wasn't feeling too hungry.

Going for CO concert later!

2008-03-19T18:02:00.000-07:00

WOOHOO, math test over!!! Considering i didn't study too hard, the test was okay. Rather standard but i made like one stupid mistake by not reading the question carefully!!! Feel like gorging my eyeballs out of their sockets. Well, its over so i shall not harp on it already.

Got back chem test. Hmmm, seriously i thought i was going to fail/do badly but alas! I got an A. Shocked the hell out of me. I could have done better if not for all the carelessness. I just can't get rid of this bad habit.

Anyway feeling really happy now (although i know it is short lived). Friday is good friday and its a holiday. Have CIP on that day but I can go out after that!!! YAY!!! So many movies i want to watch :)

Learn to enjoy every min of your life. Be happy now. Don't wait for something outside of yourself to make you happy. Think of how precious is the time you have to spend and that every min should be enjoyed and savoured.

I can't believe school is starting tomorrow. March holidays gone just like that.

I just returned home from Esplanade. Had a wonderful dinner at the Italian restaurant, Al Dente Trattoria. It would have been perfect if there wasn't a rock band jamming right beside the place. I am still feeling the after effects of the loud music.

Sad to say, i realised i have not finished 2 questions of my chem tutorial, which is due tomorrow. Sigh, homework homework. There's so many other better things waiting for me to do yet i have so little time. Guess this is the only place for me to rant.

The only thing that can probably cheer me up now is my green tea ice cream (:

Trying to practise some math but failed to do so because I am very distracted. By what i do not know.

Anyway i went to NUS open house today with my DAD. For the very reason that i am lazy to go there myself so i got him to accompany me. Only attended the talks by the faculty of science, medicine and dentistry. Basically i really have no interest in the arts so that leaves me with science. Plus, i am really determined to go into med school but somehow looking at how keen the competition is, i feel rather demoralised. Haha, but anyway i shall work hard towards my goal.

What was funny is that i saw my dentist appearing somewhere in a video screened at the talk. Saw people along the way, seniors and many other people. It's quite scary to know that NUS only offers 6600 places but there were 34000 applicants last year.

I suddenly realised its time i made some plans for my future. I cannot lead an aimless life. Oh shucks, i am starting to be emo for no reason.

So off i go to study photosynthesis. I LOVE BIO!!!

It's mommy's birthday!!!! HAPPY B-DAY MOM!
Feeling rather guilty because i didn't remember till this morning. Geez, no prezzie this year. But seriously other than wallets and handbags which she has tons, i have nothing else to buy. I shall leave that to dad. HAHA.

I received an sms which really made me reflect. It was something you said that made me realize, maybe i ain't so important.

There wasn't once when i was uncertain.

I really hate the feeling of not knowing what's going on in your mind. You leave me guessing and i really hate it. Can't you understand?

I take things for granted. I lead a selfish life. Now its my retribution.

Trek at Pelapah Waterfall

So i met Yuting at 6am in the morning to go to school together. Seriously, i felt really bored and didn't feel like going at all. All because I hadn't finish my Budget essay and alot of other homework and for the very reason that i wasn't prepared at all. So we reached school only to see Kek who was doing his maths. The first word that came to my mind was: CRAZY. Doing math early in the morning. Only a mugger will do that!!! Haha.

So people starting coming in groups and looking at the size of everyone's bags, i thought my bag was relatively small. So we distributed the group stuff and everyone had a rather hard time to squeeze the stuff into their almost full bag. We set off and were stuck in a really bad jam for about 2 hours. Thanks to MSK. On the bus ride, i tried really hard to sleep but you know, the rest were chatting away so happily and i figured out i couldn't fall asleep anyway so i joined in the conversation. When we reached the resort, it was raining and that kind of dampened my mood. I hate the rain!!!! We waited for a while at the basement for the rain to subside and we started the trek after having lunch. My lunch was nothing but a muesli bar. Come to think of it, i wasn't really hungry anyway.

We started the trek and i was really paranoid about getting attacked by leeches. Every now and then i would turn around and check my legs. We only started trekking for about 15 minutes when someone in front had a leech bite. I was like OMG!!!! So i took my medicated oil and put inside my pocket so that if i really encountered a leech, i will be all ready to save myself. The starting of the trek was rather boring, walking in dense forests. It was until the later part when we started walking in small pools. Haha, halfway i became the first right after Jameson (one of the leaders) and i had alot of fun!!! At certain times, the water level got to as high as my waist level so you can imagine poor Shi Ling behind me. I was proud of myself because i didn't fall except once when i was talking to Ray and didn't talk notice, tripping over a branch.

It was a whole different experience that cannot be described in words. After we reached the campsite, it started raining so we began pitching our tents. The cooking competition was also a success. Haha, I didn't know the year fives could cook so well. Plus, i didn't know Colin (yes woodblock) could make nice rice balls. Just because he was good at making them didn't give him the right to say my rice balls look inedible!!! But halfway through we got so hungry that Colin, Yan wen and i started eating the cherry tomatoes. Did i mention, the environment IC (aka colin) was in charge of building the toilets? I guess they got so bored that they decided to dig holes of different classes. Like how lame is that?

The "concert" was a little cold but i guess everyone had fun. Haha, I was sabo-ed to sing with colin but both of us disliked that idea and we came up with an alternative; which was for me to say a joke and he was in charge of laughing. That stupid guy pang seh-ed me la, causing me to make a fool of myself. But whatever, you can't expect a woodblock to have too many expressions. Lol, but it isn't very right to say he is 100% woodblock because there are times when he has short bursts of expression. It happened when PeiXin and gang were singing the yunnan song when they missed out the last part and colin got very agitated, raised his hands and shouted:" Eh where's the last part? blah blah and blah" Omg, i swear that was very funny. Too bad, such a jing dian moment was only witnessed by YW and me. I was shocked. LOLOLOL.

After the concert at around 11pm, Yu Ting and I decided to turn in since we had to wake up at 5am the next day for sentry duty. All my attempts to sleep went down the drain because my tent was surrounded by people who were gossiping and year fives who just had too much energy. I tell you, i almost had an outburst. My sleep was interrupted every 1 hour or so and at 3 plus it started raining so heavily, i thought the tent was going to get blown away. Unlucky me slept right in front of the tent door so i was shivering the whole night. Sentry duty was really boring. No stars to gaze, cards were boring and we didn't talk. At the last hour, Sher and I went back into the tent because we were feeling too cold. She was eating her cranberries and before i knew it, I fell asleep on her shoulder. Many thanks to Sher for lending me her shoulder to sleep on!!!!

Early in the morning, we had breakfast and small group debriefing. Soon after, we packed our bags were ready to leave when it rained really heavily. It was so heavily that i got drenched from head to toe instantly. This time i was at the back of the whole group and the trek was nicely smoothened out by the front people. Haha, those whose soles were coming/already came off had a really "fun" time sliding down i guess. Especially Wen Jian lol!!!!

It was an easy route back and everyone got so excited to play at the waterfall. It was so fun. We saw Selina (the xiao hai bu ben star) with Jia Hui's brother doing a bridal photoshoot. Lol, her beauty was so mesmerizing that the guys just stood there and stared. I am not surprised if they nosebled. I was on my way back with some others when we decided that jumping into the pool was not just a bad idea and we did! Shi Ling got leeched at the waterfall!!! Lol, unlucky her. Bathed and everything and went back.

Reached back and had dinner at Ghim Moh with Pei Xin, Yan Wen and Nigel. Because it was only four of us, we ordered separate dishes. Suddenly, this aunty carrying a plate of roasted chicken walked over and placed it in front of us. We were like: This is not ours; when Nigel told us he ordered it for us. I was like o.O. I can barely finish my own plate of noodle and there's chicken to finish!!! Omg, we were seriously bloated. Nigel's ah ma is so cute la, calling him to go back for crab. We had alot of fun chatting about all topics under the sun. Left only at 9 plus and i reached home at like 11pm.

I was already so tired but i was determined and dragged myself to do my econs. actually i didn't have much of a choice because i had to hand in the next morning. The trek was a really great one and I am glad i went for it. A pity to those who couldn't come. Wait till i get the pictures from miss lee!!! The pictures will tell the story!

Tuesday: math lecture, tennis, wen jian's house.
Today: Because of the never ending rain, tennis match cancelled!!!! So i stayed at home to be a couch potato.

2008-03-07T23:30:00.000-08:00

No school today!! The day's activites were so much better than the CNY one. Haha, i really enjoyed the concert. The indian dance group totally looked as if they were high on drugs. Lol, i did henna!! But some parts got screwed because the person just accidentally squashed it.

Besides this, we did graffti art too. Like omg, because i slept at 1230 the previous night, i was kind of dozing off during the theory lesson and i think the speaker saw la. I felt so bad but i just couldn't help it. Haha, check it out man. One of the helpers did my name!!!

As you can see there's Hui Shan's shan on my left, Nicholas on my right and leanne below. Lol, the guy's just too cool!!! Anyway this kinda activity is not really my thing la so i left a little earlier than the rest to go for tennis. Sucked pretty much.

After that met up with Sher, YT and Kek to go buy trek stuff. We somehow shopped and discussed until 10pm, leaving me so tired now!!! I have not packed my bag and to think im leaving on Sunday!!!! Totally unprepared! Anyway its just 2D1N so im like going with minimal stuff!! Praying hard i will not fall and not get leech attacks!!!

Wish me good luck.

2008-03-06T03:21:00.000-08:00

Woohoo, the holidays are here! Chem test is over just like that and i think i am going to fail badly. But i shall not let it affect me. I didn't study too hard so i shall not expect too good results.

Anyway this whole week was healthweek, with the biophotonic scan and blood donation drive being the main highlights. Lol, my score was 31,000 which meant that my diet is on the right track but need to consume fruits/vege that have more antioxidants. Haha, i feel relieved that i am not going to die so soon!! Today, many people went to donate their blood. I didn't due to parental objection and the fact that i have low blood pressure. But to all those that donated, i felt they were so brave! According to Nicholas, it wasn't painful at all. Haha, his good deed has promoted himself to ranks of a lifesaver.

Leaving on sunday for malaysia trek. Holidays aren't holidays anymore. Still have to come back to school for make up lectures.

Long overdue pictures from yunna n, rest shall be in my webshots:

2008-03-01T12:15:00.000-08:00

Yesterday

It was just another school day. Tutorials and more tutorials. We did the Myers-Briggs personality test which was 93 questions long. I am apparently an ESTJ.

"ESTJs are practical, realistic, and matter-of-fact, with a natural head for business or mechanics. Though they are not interested in subjects they see no use for, they can apply themselves when necessary. They like to organize and run activities. ESTJs make good administrators, especially if they remember to consider others' feelings and points of view, which they often miss."

Somehow i think the last part of the last sentence isn't true. I will always consider the feelings of others. Like yay, i went for tennis after that. It been so long since i've gone for training. Too many things too little time.

After tennis wanted to go watch leap years but tickets were sold out, like DUH so too bad, didn't have the opportunity. So i ended doing something i normally will not do. But it just led me to realise that people got to take breaks from time to time. It feels good just not caring about homework for one day.

TodayWent to moral home to do CIP.

So i reached home and slept again. Lol, what a pig i am. Can't blame me, i slept at 1 the previous night. Was supposed to dine with SL and Joanne to celebrate SL's bday but she couldn't make it so our date is postponed.

I was debating with myself if i should or should not go out. In the end, i decided to go out!!! Haha, so i went over to Orchard for dinner. This is basically how i wasted my Saturday. BUT i didn't regret going out.

Tomorrow shall be mugging day. I have to do my homework soon. Chem test coming. Study study study.

2008-02-28T03:00:00.000-08:00

The 8 people who went for canoe polo course yesterday. It was more fun that i expected it to be, mainly because the new coach was so nice. He didn't force us to do eskimo bow rescue, something hated by many of us. Haha. Went for dinner with kek, shiling and shu min after that. We were like so dumb. We walked one big round and landed ourselves in the geylang area, only to walk back to kallang mrt station. So, i reached home at 9pm and just plonked into my bed. Too tired to do anything.

Today was supposed to be one of my slack days but had mock 2.4 run and GP timed assignment!!! Got back my econs tests which was so sucky. 2.4 run was retarded. My first round was like 1min 55 secs and i maintained this speed till my 4th round when i slowed down to 2 mins plus. When i was doing my last round and reaching the finish, there were 2 sickening guys who were like "oh run so fast ah, lap us somemore" and overtook me. I was damn irritated i tell you; not because they overtook but just for the reason that they piss me off. LOL. Many thanks to yiwei roy who cheered for me like halfway through the run and nicholas who ran the last round beside me so that i could run faster. Lol, by then my legs were almost giving way and although i did feel like sprinting, i couldn't control my legs. Came in as first girl but nothing to be proud of because i think my timing has deproved.

GP was sucky as usual. I am seriously immune to failing essays. I can't believe what the yr5s are learning now is what i just learnt yesterday. Like what the heck.

But there's one thing to be happy about and that is francesca's bday! We celebrated it for her at ghim moh with a nice chocolate cake. Halfway through our cake cutting ceremony, this crazy aunty came over and asked her to pick 4D numbers!!! How crazy is that!

Tomorrow is going to be the last day of the week!!!! Time is passing so quickly. A levels is just going to come and i will prolly just die. More people getting the depression bug and many of them self inflict pressure. Sigh, really hate such a studying environment. If only we could all study happily, wouldn't school be such a better place? Seriously, i don't understand why people like wen jian and kek call me a mugger. I DON'T MUG, like really.

Peixin, dont be sad :) to all sad people out there, cheer up!

2008-02-26T18:40:00.000-08:00

All i can say is that i am screwed big time. BIO SPA is a goner. Listen, its SPA, not mock spa. I was utterly careless and there goes my paper. I swear to read every single detail on the question paper with great care the next time. Sigh, life sucks. Oh well, everything is gone and i have learnt that grumbling wont bring my paper back so too bad for me.

There's no turning back.

2008-02-21T18:01:00.000-08:00

Although i have Chem SPA tomorrow and a milion other hw to do, i shall drop by here to rant.

So many things happening at the moment!!! OMG and i need to say sthg: I need to LOSE WEIGHT! I have gained one kg by like not doing anything. (compared to Hui Shan who runs everyday!!!) Do i deserve it? Lol, but exercise=muscles which are heavier than fats!!! Plus, eating less really doesn't work because it's not like i eat alot.

Here's a standard template of my daily meal.

Breakfast:
1 slice of bread + 1 fruit/Cereal + fruit

Recess:
Red plate stall; 2 veggies plus the brown egg minus away egg yolk or pau when there's not enough time to eat + fruit juice/barley/green bean

Lunch:
Usually yong tau foo if there is afternoon less/ just skip it because by the time i reach home, it'll be just a few hours from dinner.

Dinner:
Handful of rice + normal dishes one usually eats for dinner.

Like omg!!! If i still cut, i most prolly have nothing to eat. Perhaps the only thing i can do is to cut the carbs.

PLS IGNORE ME, i m just complaining and being irritating.

LOL, and i was reading this blog which was created when i was in sec2 with some other lame friends a.k.a the lame family blog. We even had a pledge which goes like:

We, the Lames of Lamoland
Pledge to be Lame in our Lamest Lives
Regardless of whether we are lame Or Whether we are not
To achieve Lame, Lamer, Lamest Lame!

Haha, totally childish and retarded.

2008-02-19T23:00:00.000-08:00

Remember just a short while ago when i was saying when someone in your group of friends is sad, the whole group gets moody? Today is yet another day like this. I really hate it when any of my friends get hurt/feel sad... It's just so dampening that the day goes down like this. Plus, i am not that kind of person who can comfort really well; i usually put forth my ideas directly which may come across as too cold-hearted. So when my friend is sad, all i can do is share her sadness, listen to her woes and offer simple words of encouragement.

I really dont understand why some people just don't practise what they preach. Promises are the most important when made to someone you really cherish and it should never be broken at any cost other than life and death situations. It's really not worth the effort to put oneself through all the emotional turmoil. What do you stand to gain?

"Men should definitely try to work within respectable levels when it comes to control. Whether it's your heavy-handed decision-making or a demanding attitude -- women don't like controlling men and a controlling guy reeks of insecurity."

On another note, i so totally screwed my Bio mock spa. But luckily it's a MOCK. I just want to get over and done with all the SPA man. so sickening. YAY, chem test is postponed to last week of school!

Going to read my newspapers o.O

2008-02-16T20:10:00.000-08:00

i feel wasted.

Yesterday

Had lessons as usual. But a small incident happened in the morning and i sort of just gave way. I didn't know i was a person who couldn't accept failure easily. I felt helpless and at a loss. My mood was affected the whole of yesterday and i just couldn't bring myself to smile or respond to my surroundings the way i normally do. But i was lucky to have my khakis who are the sweetest people around. Notes of encouragement, sweets and chocolates from the girls. Usual scalp shifitng "stunt" from nicholas; although i have seen it like millions of times, it still manages to tickle me. Somehow i just got to terms and progressively i started to feel better.

Went for tennis and concluded that i am reduced to nothing more than a noob due to the lack of training. Mdm Koh came over and we had mini match with kek and kerina. Haha, kek is a known scammer, schemer... you name it you got it. LOL, but all niaoing was in the name of fun. Went for ODAC reunion dinner after that. It wasn't pretty much a reunion because only 10 ppl turned up: Me, Wen Qian, Kek, Wen Jian, Shue Ling, Huang Lin, Sher, Yu Ting, Pei Xin and Nigel. We ordered 100 bucks worth of dishes which fit into everyone's 10 buck budget. So over dinner, we had lots of fun catching up on the latest happenings in school; which in short = gossip. Lol, gained lots of new info and of course much of the session was spent on niaoing Yu Ting and ____ ____. I mean it's okay to tease her for fun but somehow this matter is beginning to get out of hand and spread than at rate faster than cancer cells. Plus, it's not localized. So people should just spare poor yu ting all this misery.

But i got to say, people can do anything for love. It's scary.

Today

Dragged my exhausted body out of bed at 7am. Slept at 1 plus the day before and as a result, have a lack of oxygen in my brain leading to a headache. I had to meet yu ting at 8am so i couldn't be late. Tried my best to be punctual which i did and we took bus 93 from eunos all the way to MacRitchie reservoir for our treetop trail. Sounds fun right, lol but actually we were just trekking and doing stuff like pacing. Surprising, our pace was constant at 6mins/0.5km. We did the longest one which was 11km.

I didn't know that different jc's cross country teams train there. So we walked and walked from 930 to 1230. Crapped at times but because everyone slept late; i was considered quite early, we were rather lifeless. Speaking of that, colin is one funny guy. Came with nothing, not even a bottle. So he bought a 350ml can of 100 plus and held on to it like his dear life and only drank it when we were finishing the trek. It was okay, but omg we saw this really gross worm!!!!! It had the length of a caterpillar but was much flatter and it was so colourful. It looked like it was wearing a tribal fur cloak; think mongolian. Can you imagine. Too bad only colin has the picture. And the worm has caused me to embarassed myself in front of miss lee yet again.

The convo goes:

FM: Wah, it had so many legs! It has 6 legs.
Miss Lee: Where got, it has more. You see i think it has 12.

*i take a look at the worm again and continues walking*

100m later,

FM: Oh, i only counted one side.
Miss Lee: Hahahaha, now i have one more of your funny encounters in my collection.

Like omg, how retarded can i get???? Plus, it wasn't much of a collection to speak of. The other incident was in paka about my paranoid leech attack. =.="""" Okay, so we had meeting and went home. Everyone just slept except kek who met us after his H3 at smu. Acutally he came for nothing; he came when we finished everything!!! Hahaha.We lunched at eunos. I reached home at 4 plus and omg i slept from 5 to 730pm. So screwed!!!! Must try my best to clear HW.

2008-02-11T20:22:00.000-08:00

CNY celebrations was a total waste of time! Had i known, i wouldn't have gone to school. I really expected the programmes to be exciting and more interactive but i am utterly disappointed. What made things worse was that i actually slept at around 1.30am last night. And so i was grouchy and all.

After the celebrations, i went to lunch at Pizza Hut and caught Kung Fu Dunk at Marina square with my classmates. (people present: fran, jobi, huishan, xiang hong, youbao, jing wen. yiwei and wen qian) That's quite a pathetic amount of ppl if you realise. While we were having lunch, i just received the WORST NEWS OF THE CENTURY.

FM: Hey wen qian why are you not going for the trek?
WQ: Aiya....
FM: Tell me tell me!!! You owe me an explanation!
WQ: *tells me the reason*
FM: What? you kidding me right? I don't believe!
Jing Wen: Fang Ming is in self denial.

I feel really sorry to my really good friend wq for pressing her for the reason. You know, after she blurted out everything, i really cried. She's one of my good good good friends. She's not the kind of friend which i hang out with everyday but a friend whom i can rely on and someone who i know will always be there. I cannot remember how we first met but somehow we just got together unknowingly. Not to forget, the way she greets me is by hitting very hardly on my shoulder.

And i only know it today. Through all my life, i have never met with such a situation. As the saying goes, the longer you know a person, the harder it is to part. I guess the last thing we can do for her is to really have a great party because we wont know when we might see each other again. God knows when i can ever meet such a wonderful friend.

Trying to find peace within myself.

2008-02-10T22:30:00.000-08:00

Haha, i was reading the Newpaper today and there was a report on the tallest rock wall in singapore at SAFRA yishun. Lol, after reading that report i feel proud of myself for being able to scale that wall. Boosted ego!!!! Kekeke.

I took a break from studying bio and decided to do some personality tests.

Perfectionism Test
63/100
According to this test, you appear to have a mixture of both healthy and unhealthy perfectionistic tendencies. In some cases, you demand perfection of yourself or others by setting the bar unreasonably high. In other cases however, you set goals that are not as challenging and are more tolerant of failure. Your attitude likely depends on the type of task involved and the circumstances you are in.

Hostile Behaviors
16/100
Your responses indicate that you almost never exhibit hostile behaviors. In fact, you hardly react at all, likely choosing to let things go rather than push the issue. However, your calm demeanor does not mean that you are not hostile on the inside. Although harsh words and force are not positive ways to react to others, you may be losing out by not standing up for yourself when necessary. Consider the rewards of becoming more assertive.

Haha, the test is lame!!! True to some extent since they claim that the tests are scientifically validated. If you wanna try them, you can visit this webby.

School tomorrow! Must sleep early.

2008-02-06T23:40:00.000-08:00

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!

Met the 5 (Colin, Kek, Sher, Yu Ting and JM) at SingPost Mac. I was late because i simply couldn't drag myself out of bed. Like come on, its a holiday and i have to wake up at 7 in the morning!!! So we discussed about our Malaysia trek and after that at around noon, i went over to cityhall to shop!!! Guess what? I saw a certain couple i didn't expect to see. LOL. I practically spent all my cash in Zara. They have brought in new stock! I practically shopped till my legs almost broke and went home when my mom ordered me to.

So my uncle returned from UK and bought back lots of cool stuff. The coolest of all must be the Hermes bags. You know, i am like a handbag freak. Unfortunately i might not even have a chance to carry them because i am like in uniform 70% of the time. But i shall not complain because i have set a resolution for myself: that is to mug hard. I must work hard all the way to a levels and after that i will treat myself to a good holiday and shopping spree!

I must do my vectors tutorial, carbonyl and carboxylic acid tutorials and study for bio test.

Currently reading:

All you need is just that one person's encouragement to keep you going.

2008-02-05T23:12:00.000-08:00

YAY it's offically Chinese New Year! Had super alot of fun today. Totally wasn't in the mood to study!

Started the day off with Econs tutorial which is as slack as always. Had chem mock spa brought forward but it was quite stupid la. Too much practice makes it very boring. Haha, bio prac was the highlight. Dr. Yap wanted to conduct a spot quiz but we told him we didn't want it so he did a challenge instead. =.= Haha, he's getting "cutter" by the second. Bio prac just passed by like this and my group won the challenge trophy which was a bucket of peanut candy. Not my favourite kind of sweet but it was the fun that mattered. Slacked around in school and watched Mr Soh, Mdm Koh and Kenny play badminton.

Set off to bugis a short while later and walked around aimlessly, waiting for the rest of the 4J peeps to come down. So we went over to some steamboat place for dinner. The food wasn't exactly nice but it's a good feeling just being able to reunite with my good friends. Other girls went crazy and ordered beer. LOL. I am not a beer person so i stuck to my winter melon tea.

After dinner we sort of split ways and i went over to bugis street with Nic, Fran, Charlene and WJ. Haha, in short, we just didn't feel like going home. I reached home at 10 and here i am online! Which is so freaking rare.

I have to meet the other 5 ODAC kahkis for a meeting early in the morning tmr. But i am going shopping again after that!!!! HAHA, I feel so happy.

I AM HAPPY! :)

2008-02-01T14:49:00.000-08:00

It rained yesterday and so tennis was cancelled. Instead, i stayed back to help finish the CNY banner. Like omg, painting can be so tiring when you have to use your fingers and survive with less than 5 colours. Our banner was not as perfect as we wanted it to be but everyone had lots of fun doing it! Thanks to Kek who shared his canvas with us. Seriously, he was quite pitiful; doing the banner all by himself. LOL. So our banner had the ghostly hamtaro, evil jerry and some other mice looking un-mousey. Haha, we did the banner till 6 plus when the uncle came to lock the classrooms. He was such a nice person; giving us more time to finish painting and he even helped us pack up. The world is full of nice people!

Went to ECP today to build sandcastles with the residents. I have thus concluded that i suck in building sandcastles. Haha, i am not like "Joanne the builder" who is like so gifted in shaping the walls. Basically what i did was to define the walls and nothing else. It was rather fun; seeing the residents happy makes up happy too! So i went home happily, looking forward to going shopping.

BUT....

I am sad now because my sister has just called off our shopping trip. But no worries, i will go tomorrow! It's not such a bad arrangement since i've got to study for math test. Study, study, and study. Even me the slacker is starting to feel my workload piling. Thus, my only way of destress is to go shopping, which i hardly have time for now.

Math test on mon. Chem and Bio mock spa on tuesday. Bio test after new year. YAY.

2008-01-12T23:48:00.000-08:00

12th January 2008, Saturday

I just came back from my cousin's birthday bash at Downtowneast chalet. Seriously, i am amazed by the level of energy i have. Had ODAC orientation activity last night together with the year 5s. It was a night trek from old DHS campus to the current buona vista one. Simply put, we walked through the night. It wasn't tiring at all, except for the fact that you sweat and get sticky. Plus, everyone was half-asleep. I was lucky to have Kek Jun Jie beside me. If we didn't talk, i guess i would have conked out like the rest. My group reached back in school at 4am, so we took an estimated 5 hrs to walk 20km. It wasn't much of an adventure but its good to do some exercise like this once in a while.

2008 has started and i have more or less settled myself into the "studying mood". Other than the fact that i have activities which screw my biological clock from time to time, life is rather the same. My timetable sucks alot because i dont get to go home early, except for thursday which is at 1.45pm. Worst of all, we don't have a homeroom. It sucks having to drift around the school and because the library has become so small, the only probable place we can go to is the canteen. But, the canteen has to house 6 levels which is quite the impossible.

I just hope this year passes quickly.

5th December 2007, Wednesday.

It's been donkey years since i returned home from Yunnan(22 nov). I a so lazy ever since i came back that i have done nothing except for watching drama serials. I have thus concluded that going to china and buying dvds is a bad thing. I need to do my homework soon.

Pictures!!! All from Mrs Chu's cam because i didn't bring mine. Have yet to take more from colin and nicholas.

Start of our trek up the mountain. Because i was in charge of using the GPS, i knew the altitiude all the way up and down. Basically the altitude ranged from 3260 to 3900m.

Reaching our basecamp and it was already snowing!!! Temperature: -7 deg celsius. The oxygen level was half of what you have in Singapore so everyone didn't escape the experience of feeling breathless. We spent the night in tents that were windproof, which means no oxygen transfer. To make things worse, the 3 man tent i slept in had 4 people. It was like a battle for oxygen. LOL. It was dman funny because YuTing suddenly woke up saying she couldn't breathe and she started doing breathing exercises to regulate her breathing. It woke all of us up and we began feeling breathless too! We were all reluctant to go out because it was so bloody cold and our shoes were frozen. YT couldn't take it anymore and she went out to call for help and got herself an oxygen cannister. Surprisingly, after she went out, the remaining 3 of us went peacefully back to sleep. So can i conclude that YT was the oxygen stealer? HAHA.

My strong and fit host named zhuo ma la zhu who came up with us.

Group 4- HL,FM,Royston, Nic

Way back was all covered in snow!

Going back.

Girls.

Mrs Chu, Local, HL, Me

Smart kid and impish girl.

This is how i washed my hair for my 2 week stay. Anyway, there is no toilet facilities there so you got to ask the villagers for water if you want to bathe/wash your face/hair and they will look at you like you are a freak. o.O

Dog of Yunnan. It is supposed to like super expensive: 10 000 RMB

Map of village which had only 50 households spread over quite a large area.

Women of Yunnan.

Kitchen which we took turns to cook our meals in.

Sampan which we took to go to the village.

It was a really unforgettabel experience and seriously i would want to go again after my A's.

Nicholas just happened to pass me the photos of ODAC camp today. Since tomorrow is a declared off-day, i shall upload a couple of shots. It's a camp you see so the pics are super unglam.

Stopover at an unknown island. Yay we love kayaking.

Trek up the waterfall.

21st October 2007, Sunday

Spent my birthday in school on Friday with Xperience and OP tutorial. Like how wonderful. But it got better with the accompany of my beloved girlfriends who bought this super chocolately chocolate cake and there were only 7 of us to finish it. Love them to death.

Anyway went to the SVA (Singapore veterenary association) annual conference yesterday. Hmm, felt rather out of place because the content we received was really for the vets and we were rather lost with their use of bombastic medical terms. Occasionally we would receive stares from people asking why we were even there. It wasn't too bad; broadened my general knowledge.

Life is all about OP now. Can't wait for it to be over. Very soon will be going over to Yunnan. Lots of shopping to do. It's going to be like minus 7 degree celsius over there and we will be building educational infrastructure. Sounds abit weird eh? I am really okay with everything except the bathing part and of course the period! My period is like so going to come and we are advised not to take the pill to stop it. So.... it sucks! ZZZZ. It's going to be so spirit dampening. Hate it.

Got school tomorrow. All day lectures. Somehow i feel like going into sleep mode but at the back of my mind, it's telling me everything hasn't even started.

Saturday, 13th October 2007

Been feeling lethargic as of late. Must be due to lack of exercise.

Went to Sentosa with the rest of the level yesterday. We took the sky train together but eventually split up to do our individual group activity. Went cycling with Joanne, Yun xuan, Biingx, Chip, MunYi....! Basically it was the sole reason why i even wanted to go. I totally loved the weather. It was going to rain but it just stopped and never came back. We rented the bikes for one hour and got kinda lost initially as the place got renovated and the cycling tracks became rather difficult to find. Nevertheless, we still enjoyed ourselves.

Played just a while of volleyball and went home after that. Saw a couple of people whom i have never seen for ages.

I just remembered that we actually had paintball in the morning. Afternoon for me i guess. I would have only described it with "Okay, but not worth the wait". Other than that, i would think it was quite violent too since people got bruised quite badly.

Going to do PW tmr. It's going to be PW all the way to next month. And I have been blessed with PW rehearsal on my birthday. Greatest gift ever man.

After so much, i have just learnt to take it and complain less. Nothing really seems to go the way its supposed to be, really.

2007-10-06T11:00:00.000-07:00

Oh yay! Exams are over and done with.

I have like so much to do now. Shopping, exercising, reading blah blah blah... and the list goes on. Most importantly, i have to go lose weight. It's freaking horrifying to find out that while you coup yourself at home and bury yourself into those books, you end up gaining 2 kg and nothing else! OH MY GOD!

And my mom comes home with like loaves of freahly baked french bread. How helpful. Still, i shall abstain from whatever food i can abstain from.

I am a fatty and i need to lose weight.

Boo, i have to go back to school at 1pm for PW consultation!!!! My monday!!!

Currently reading: Shadow of the wind. Highly recommended.

30th August 2007, Thursday

In the blink of an eye, august is gone and here comes september. Received our promotional exams timetable today which is hmmm rather expected i would say. Gp is always first. Math and Econs always together. Chemistry and Biology each separated on 2 different days. In other words, i get to finish my exams in 5 days. Woohoo! Can't wait for promos to be over and i will be free... for year 2007 at least.

Seriously need to start mugging now!!!!! Lagging like hell in all tutorials. OMG!

Something interesting: I was surfing the net and came across this. It was the patchwork i did about 2-3 yrs ago? So amusing.

2007-08-25T19:15:00.000-07:00

25th August 2007, Saturday.

Went to catch Ratatouille with my youngest sister!

The show was rather funny but quite unrealisitc. Guess what i saw Mdm Koh, Miss Selvi with their kids in the very same cinema watching the very same show. Haha. Then shopped around. Nothing really caught my eye.

Underwater world. Sent by Hong yi.

15th August 2007, Wednesday

Yes, I have been back from camp for like three days already and I can only find time now to update something on this dead blog of mine. Seriously, I shouldn’t be doing this because I still have heaps of homework to catch up on and promos is like 50 days away.

Day 1:
Took the night bus over to Paka River Camp. The campsite was rather okay I would say, with proper toilet facilites and a longhouse for us to sleep. As for the guys, they had to use the communal baths which were around the grass areas. First day was basically kayaking. I partnered Shermaine. We were the only girl-girl pair. Powerhouses we are. Kayaking was not tiring at all, fun to some extent. The river where we kayaked through really reminded me of the enchanted woods we always used to read in fairytales. I am glad i did bring a cap because it really shielded most, if not all of the sun, leaving me un-sunburnt. We did not managed to make it back to our campsite so we had to stay over at the makeshift one which was just by the river. No toilets for the night.

We pitched our tents, changed our clothes, tried bbqing fish.... The locals helped us cooked dinner but the food wasn't to my liking and i went vegetarian. We took turns to do sentry duty. So lucky i did the shift from 4-6am. Did with Nic, Colin, Joanne and Shiling. We crowded around the going-to-die campfire and played asshole daidee. It was damn fun and it kept me awake. Towards the end, i had to do some big business and i was lucky to have Shu Min accompany me. the sole reason: She had diarrhoea. The problem was she was so fast and i laughed so much at her that my shit couldn't come out. But in the end i managed to do a quick one. The stay was a short one and we set off to continue on our journey in the morning.

Day 2:
We continued kayaking all the way back to our campsite and reached at about 2 plus. Rather sad we did not manage to do 71km. But i think it would be quite crazy if we were to do that. Washed up and got ready to visit the night market. Unfortunately, it wasn't available and we replaced it with a night walk. That was everyone's first encounter with leeches. I was like so lucky I didn’t get anyway. I would be really freaked out if I did. I guess it was all because Wen qian and I were decked out in long sleeves and we practically bathed ourselves in medicated oil. I swear we smelt really bad. The solo walk was rather gay because I was kicking stones and eventually caught up with Wen qian and Yu Ting. The night ended really late and we slept for like less than 6 hours.

Day 3:
Everyone was tired but we had to set off for the Cemerong waterfall hike. The place is bloody cool. The mountain was so steep that I seriously had to skip a few breaths. I got a leg cramp the night before when I was sleeping and I didn’t heal at all. So I was practically climbing on one leg of mine. Imagine that. Halfway through, Kenny was nice enough to help me carry my day pack. Oh my, what a good person he is. LOL! The water at the waterfall was so cold that my legs went numb the moment I stepped in. When descending the mountain I was rather slow for fear that I might break a limb or something. Luckily I was at the back so I could take my own sweet time. The waterfall was so beautiful. Went back to camp after the hike, washed up and got ready to go home. Left the campsite at around 12 plus at night and everyone slept on the bus back to Singapore.

The camp was a good one, other than the fact that it has caused me to lag badly in terms of school work.

Now, I have another problem. My nanjing buddy is coming today! Got to fetch her at the airport later. Like omg, I wonder when will this ever end. I badly need some time to do my work.

Will update more frequently and maybe post some pictures of her soon.

2007-08-04T17:30:00.000-07:00

4th August 2007, Saturday.

Went to Jalan Sultan like early in the morning to buy my camp essentials. Thank goodness i managed to buy everything except for the ulu insect spray (does anyone know where to get Baygon Oil- based Insect Spray?) and my energy bars. Attempted to pack my bags but gave up in the end.

Went home to realise that i had no keys= i was locked out. I had to get my sister to come home and as a result she couldn't go out with her friends. Man do i suck. I just feel like i am experiencing what i would or most people call an emotional down. It's different from being emo; i just can't accurately describe it.

I haven't been sad for such a long time now until yesterday. I hate slowing everyone down. I hate being a weakling and being useless. Sometimes, i just feel like such a loser.

Did PW at jobi's house until 11.30pm ++ yesterday. Didn't get my dad's consent to stay over so in the end he came over to fetch me home. Everyone was like dead tired. I seriously don't know how long i can keep myself running. After camp, my buddy's coming over and right after, there's going to be promos.

Tell me what i should do. I have an urge to close this place down.

2007-08-01T19:20:00.000-07:00

1st August 2007, Wednesday

Start of a new month but life is all the same. It's drawing nearer to promos and somehow, i feel like i have less and less time. Mr Soh always tell us: Maybe you are having too many committments. But i think that isn't true. It's not like i have 4 or 5 CCAs or something.

Anyway it was the carnival today. So hectic, so many hiccups but well the year 3s claimed that they earned quite a bit. Seems like they did enjoy themselves and we are the pathetic ones. Ice-cream person MIA, notebook sale so ... Well, just our luck that classes choose to do their CIP around this period of time. It's going to continue tomorrow and i really hope it will end soon.

Enough of the unhappy stuffs, i need to go shopping real badly. Its been like a month since i have gone to town. Like omg, there's so many things i want to buy.

My radars sense a bio and math test coming soon.

My life is sad.

2007-07-28T15:12:00.000-07:00

28th July 2007, Saturday

Like omg, i just did the silliest thing on earth. I went to the doc to complete my vaccinations, and i went to purchase female hormonal pills to push back my period so that it wouldn't clash with the camp.

Guess what, just after paying a freaking bill of 75 bucks, i went home to realise that my period came! Got scolded by my mom for like super long.

This just isnt my day.

*Prays* Please let the carnival be a successful one.

2007-07-25T21:00:00.000-07:00

25th July 2007, Wednesday

Chemistry test is finally over! Totally going to die for it but since its over I shall refrain from ranting. So many things happened today.

Received notice that my Nanjing buddy, aka Abby Wang Jing will be coming from the 15th- 22nd of August. I would have just come back from ODAC camp and i bet there's bound to be one or two tests during that period since its oh-so-close to promos.

Went to RJC for the bionic man lecture. OMG! It is interesting but i can't help dozing off for one or two times. After that i went to take my jabs!!!! Speaking of that my arm is feeling like some sore shit. The doc drew like lots of blood from me for a blood test and i jabbed for tetanus. Pls, tell me i have antibodies so i do not have to jab Hep A. Have to go back again some day for my results and thyphoid. Injections suck.

Tomorrow is going to be the suckiest day of the week. Must stock up more candies.

2007-07-22T04:00:00.000-07:00

22nd July 2007, Sunday

The freaky blogger just shut down when i almost completed my entry! Now i have to re-type. Damn it! I shall just condense everything again.

Friday: Parent teacher meeting

Saturday: Kayaking and Francesca's church concert

I guess the most worthy part of the concert was to watch them perform. They are so damn cool!

I have this big pile of homework yet to be completed. Plus, there's chemistry test! ZZZZ.

2007-07-17T22:15:00.000-07:00

Been blog hopping for some time now. Don't ask me why ain't I mugging or something when i have chemistry lecture test next week (so bloody near) and my promos is like 70-something days away.

I have come to realise how sad my life is. My once-used-to-be exciting life has now been reduced to nothing but school school and more school. Not that I hate school (I absolutely love it!) but sometimes I just get tired and the cycle of feeling sian just starts repeating itself. This "feeling sian" symptom is kind of taking its toll on me and I seriously feel bleak. Before you know it, you will be taking your A-levels and ta-da your life experiences another dramatic shift.

Seriously, i don't know what shit i am ranting down here but doing this ain't gonna help in my GP unless I reflect on a certain societal issue every entry. I guess coming here and typing rubbish is my only entertainment left. Even the stupid telly doesn't cast nice shows.

I look at my schedule and see that i officially have NO MORE holidays to promos. KEEEEL me please. Haha, who knows when i go to Paka River i might be able to see a real life crocodile. not that i want to anyway. I do not want to return with one less limb.

Yue Zhi asks me to listen to the killers. She says they're good.

2007-07-15T22:45:00.000-07:00

15th July 2007, Sunday

As you know, I went for Project C.A.N organised by NUS CSC today! Woke up real early. Hmm, the activity was rather fun but alot less extensive than i thought it would be. Was in group 7 with a really wacky and amusing group leader. HAHA! Apparently, some families were really spontaneous but some were just pure irritating. I just can't imagine how some people can be so rude. I grouped myself with Joanne and Francesca. There was this woman who just shouted at us to stop "playing with her doorbell". Really irked me for quite a bit. But who cares? Can't be bothered with such people.

My blog is so boring. It is in serious need of photos!

2007-07-14T18:30:00.000-07:00

14 July 2007, Saturday

Finally finished watching Hanazakarino Kimitachihe. Hui Shan was nice enough to loan me the box set. Totally a waste of my time. The ending was so sucky!!! Of course, what pushed me to finish the entire series was the heavy load of eye candy and some funny parts. Hmm, i shall not morph into one of the bimbos who go:" OMG, wu zun is so shuai" but i got to admit he is good looking. I can't believe there can be such a pretty guy on earth.

Just came home from school. I was tending the odac booth from 12.30-4pm. OMG!!!!! It was so boring. Kenny, who was supposedly my partner popped up every 45 mins. Luckily i got Ms Lee to accompany me for quite sometime. If not, i would really be rotting away. Nobody volunteers for such stuff and so it all boils down to me and i had no choice but to go.

Was going home on the train when i encountered 2 incidents which left me very disturbed. Firstly, there was this lady who "accidentally" dropped her tissue, looked at it and pretended not to see it. Secondly, there was this mother who spilled M&Ms all over the floor and didn't pick it up. Litterbugs!!!!! I just wonder how one can just act like they don't know after committing such a hideous offence.

Was reading Valerie's blog just now when she mentioned about CT. What she said was really true; we have less than 100 days to promos and we should just forget about CT and start mugging once again.

I am so tired and i have heaps of hw waiting for me to do. Sad life.

2007-07-05T18:35:00.000-07:00

5th July 2007, Thursday

Managed to get more photos from my class blog which has been so stagnant that i almost forgot about it.

If you were to look closerat the above picture, you can see a sad Soke May.

This kind of sums up my post today. Today is a friday!!!!

2007-07-04T19:50:00.000-07:00

04 July 2007, Wednesday.

Since homework hasn't gone into full swing yet, i have all the time to keep coming here to rant.

Went to SAFTI MI OCS for an "excursion". Haha, the trip was rather entertaining; much better than the other exhibit we went to at Spore Discovery centre. I think the cadet officers there are so friendly; i mean they have to be friendly right. Saw alex there too.

Checked my email account and received the very pathetic four level camp photos from who knows where. Sad enough, i could only open three of them for some reason.

Haha, we totally rocked the coconut tree plucking activity with 24 coconuts or sthg.

2007-07-02T04:46:00.000-07:00

02 July 2007, Monday.

Like omg it's been ginormous years since i have posted an entry! Ask me why; i decided to return because I realised how cut off i have been from the computer. June holidays just came and go like that. A week of "tests" passed even faster than the blink of an eye. Life is moving at such a fast rate. Sometimes i even wonder if i still have a life.

Heard that my china buddy is coming like REAL soon. Some people say we will be hosting them but other sources say that the year 4s will host them instead. Does anyone have any idea? Been emailing my buddy on a rather frequent basis but if they're really coming, it's going to be damn busy.

Anyway ODAC has engaged a new teacher from OBS. Lol, ODAC is going to be experience a huge change. It was our first session with Ms Lee last saturday and guess what, her physical test was to run 2.4km. It seriously isn't any big deal but 2.4km on a day right after the exams and after one month of no-exercise and facing only the book is total madness. My time was like 3 mins ++ slower. Haha, fats coming back!!!!

Nothing much on the telly except for Wimbledon. Haha, i totally dig Djokovic.

Shucks, there's school tomorrow. This seemingly "long" break has officially ended= start hitting the books again.

2007-03-27T19:06:00.000-07:00

Today is an unlucky day.

Firstly, the school bus didn't come. Took a cab and thank goodness we weren't late.

Lessons were so slack that i couldn't believe it. Chem spa, chem tutorial, break for an hour, econs lecture, 1.5 hours break, pw and mass pe. Who could have asked for more man.

Pw groupings released. So my groups members are rather okay. Jobina, Nicholas, Wen Qian and Hui Qi.

Pe was fun, Played tennis. Partner Jun Jie and vs ourselves against Valerie and Jessalyn. Until we found out Francesca injured herself. So Jess and I went over to see. ZZZ, i really hope she's okay. Weilin said i sounded happy. Wah, i was erm apalled, because i wasn't and i didn't know i sounded like that. Shucks.

2007-03-22T17:51:00.000-07:00

Thanks to the kind soul who picked up my math file. Who wants my math file anyway? Haha. But the thought of doing assignments and tutorials again FREAKED me out.

But yay! The weekend is coming again. I really need to go shopping. Feeling so deprived now. Jobina mentioned earlier that she feels like is so dry. True enough, my life is all about school.

Anyway made a new discovery today. Mr Soh, aka my chem teacher is like so multi talented already and we have uncovered another talent of his today. While we were walking down pass the hall, we saw Mr Soh paired with Mdm Koh playing a game of badminton against Mr J.Lim and an unknown female. Wah i tell you, i think chem teachers are talented.

Mrs Phua: Can do chem, can sing, very lame, for all you know, maybe she is a pro dancer too.

Mdm Koh: Can do chem, pro in badminton and tennis

Mr Soh: Can do chem, can tell stories, can play the violin, can play badminton... and the list goes on i guess. *haha, no wonder so many girls crushing him!!!!* LOL.

2007-03-21T16:05:00.000-07:00

LIWEN: YOU ARE DAMN LAME. =.=

Okay, had math test today. Confirm fail case. I shall just face up to the fact that i can never do well in math. Got back chem test paper, didn't fail but had like damn alot of careless mistakes. Econs test next week and i shall study damn hard for it.

Seems like my whole life is only about school now. Jessalyn was still telling my this morning that her dad mentioned to her about JC life being the most stressful. I kind of agree with it; considering the fact that the graph of my happiness is like constantly downward sloping.

Received the A level PW qns paper yesterday. Hmm, just hope i get a good group and a good ST!!!! *prays*

Anyway, i cheered myself by borrowing this book "Daughter of Iraq, Mayada" Currently like 1/3 through the book already and it is one very touching book. Recommended. I shall aim to read whenever i have free time. The problem is i am not even sure if there's such a thing called free time anymore.

I shall thus not waste my time here. Bye.

2007-03-17T19:59:00.000-07:00

THE MARCH HOLIDAYS CAME AND GO JUST LIKE THAT.

Okay, i was checking my email (after like ages) and saw an email from my NJ buddy. She was telling me how exhilarated she was because we are going to see each other in another 4 months. Okay, i feeling rather neutral about it though. I wouldn't say I am over the moon.

I don't want to return to school!!!! Bio, Math, Econs Tests!!!! Keeeel meeee pleaseeee.

2007-03-07T21:19:00.000-08:00

Feels good after a short nap. Had mock 5 items excluding shuttle run because of time constraint. But i deproved like mad and it was no point to pia so hard when you could like so the minimum to get an A.

2.4km: Deproved by 1 min to 13 mins. (A)
Inclined pull ups: 18 (A)
Standing Board Jump: 177 cm (C; when B is like 178cm)
Sit and Reach: 41 cm (B; deproved like 15 cm from last year? WTH???)

In conclusion, my physical fitness has slumped into a bottomless pit. I feel myself going down.

It didn't help at all during chemistry test because i didn't finish the idiotic paper and i feel so stupid. Okay, right after chemistry test my grp had to do econs ppt because no other groups wanted to.

In short, i ain't exactly living a life. What is life? I don't think it's just something living. Holidays coming but it's going to be so dreaded. Hating it.

2007-03-03T09:05:00.000-08:00

I am here once again after a super hectic week. Chemistry test next week. March holidays to mug. Biology, Math and Econs tests once school reopens. Suffocating under the piles of homework! it's just so wrong when people think that we are having a relaxed time.

Okay, went for the history trail at Little india today. Haha, rather lame but still enjoyable. I mean, such activities are rather primary/secondary school, like you go for excursions with your teachers and stuff. Now, because we are older, we deem it as lame and everything but it wont hurt taking a breather sometimes.

I have to rush my 5 econs articles which is madness. Hmm, really wished i had took geog or lit instead. but nevermind, i shall learn to like it.

I shall look on the bright side of everything.

2007-02-25T23:30:00.000-08:00

It's been like SOOOO long since i last posted an entry. Been so busy with school that i hardly have time for myself.

Chinese new year is over; anyway this yearly occasion doesn't speak much for me. I don't get to keep my red packet money and because i was suffering from stomach flu, i didn't eat much goodies. Visited Mrs Chan's house, her husband really resembled Mr P. Haha.

Went to Mr Koh's house yesterday and we watched South Park. Lame is all i can say. Went kayaking after that, supposed to be a ODAC thing but only a few people came. About 12 i think. Had fun because there were currents!!! Apparently there was NO sun, but i was still burnt. GROSS. After that rushed home to change and meet the rest at city hall. Watched the play which was okay but about 65% of it was Hokkien; rather distracting. It dragged for quite long, and i was already so tired i almost fell asleep a few times. Went home with the rest and reached home at like 12?I didn't sleep. Instead i watched the channel U "guess guess guess" show.

Today went to my uncle's house warming party. He stayed at punggol which is like so freaking far. We ended playing Saboteur and watching TV. I went for a dinner just now. It some clan thing which is basically like an old people's gathering. It was SHIT BORING!!! It was ten course but i seriously had no appetite. My dad "threw" my sister and I with our granny to "die" there. Worst still, there was a gross family sitting at our table. I don't wish to carry on man. Anyway i am like dead tired. Need to sleep already.

It has been 2 years since i last felt like this. why you? god, please tell me i am wrong. because we were never meant to be.

I need some time for myself. School has been "killing" me. I miss all the stuff i enjoy doing. Life has no meaning now.

I really think I AM CRAZY.

"Last" day of school to a week long holiday! Like yay! But on the other hand, there's lots of homework and lots of catching up for me to do!!! I missed just ONE day of school and there like so much to do!!! Sigma notation, chemistry, bio, econs!!!! Killing me man!!!!! I feel like dying!!!!

Feel so much better after seeing all the presents. The best present would have to be from Kenny(surprisingly) He gave me this very cutesy piglet holder. I feel so damn guilty for just giving him a notebook. Maybe i'll give him a present for his bday. Still, i felt the love from all my friends!!! Loving my class people la.

I want to go shopping tomorrow. Want to buy so many stuffs, thread my brows, blah blah blah the list goes one. I ain't feeling too well though. Guess what, i lost some weight after this round of sickness. About 2 kg. HAHAHA.

I need to exercise. I haven't ran for a week.

Happy CNY everyone!!!! Eat lots of sweets, lots of ba gua, get lots of ang paos!!!

2007-02-14T16:05:00.000-08:00

Officially sick. Like how pathetic, sick on valentine's day! Being so weak lately that i can't even believe it myself. So i absent myself from school today because i can do nothing other than sleep.

Yesterday i was feelin groggy during lunch when everyone told me i looked damn shag. So i tried to sleep but the icy cold air conditioner of the classroom did not facilitate my sleeping at all. So towards the end of PW, i felt like puking. Luckily i excused myself to the toilet in time, if not my whole class will hate me for life. Jessalyn even commented that my face turned green ---> i would really like to see how one's face turns green though. Skipped mass PE like duh. Then i followed Joanne and Shi Ling to Plaza Sing to get the valentine's day presents. Just out Plaza Sing, i puked in front of the entrance. Like how embarassing can that be. Felt much better after i puked then we went to get the stuffs. Went home on MRT at first then scared that i will "terrorise" other people on the train, i got dragged down at kallang and took a cab back. On the cab, i puked again. Luckily i had Shi Ling's plastic bag man. Went home, saw a doc, took a jab. Still feeling kind of sick today.

Conclusion, it sucks to be sick la. My angels and mortals must hate me a hell lot.

Thanks to everyone who sent me get well soon messages and valentine's day messages!

2007-02-12T21:07:00.000-08:00

Finally finished the draft of my GP essay which i have planned to finish on Saturday and dragged to today. Procrastination, procrastination. But anyway i am like dead beat.

The trip to the Singapore discovery centre was rather redundant but rather fun. Manage to win this cool stationery set. Cool as in cool cause it even had pegs inside. HAHA. Okay, i kind of dread going to school tomorrow, mainly because of GP. Haha, i don't know why but i just don't really like it. Plus, bio is getting so saturated.

Currently having this disgusting headache because of lack of oxygen in my brain i suppose. It seriously sucks. Having many pimples on my face too. Due to god knows what. Stress, period?

Want to sleep already. I am going to pull through to thursday. Must hold on. If i can't even handle this little bit of tiredness, i think i'll be such a loser. Because i don't even have a NJ buddy now.

Good Luck people.

2007-02-06T19:15:00.000-08:00

Anyway i skipped PW and Mass pe today to see a doctor. I swear i felt like fainting okay!!! I am like coughing until my head aches. I slept from 4-6 and still feel like sleeping. I feel so sad for myself. I have been sick like since saturday but have never been able to fully recover because there is no chance for me to rest. It's like reduced to such a state when i can't even bring myself to miss a day of school. I shall wallow in self pity.

To all the sick souls out there, get well soon.

The tunicate, aka sea tulip.

It has 2 openings: an incurrent and an excurrent siphon. (to blatantly put it: it has a mouth and an anus)

Their guts are U-shaped, and their anuses empty directly to the outside environment.

Tunicates are also the only animals able to create cellulose.

They have appeared from the Jurassic to the present.

How interesting is that. Miss Tan (bio teacher) mentioned it and it kind of sparked my interest.
Favourite fact: The tunicate has blood which contains high concentration of the rare metal vanadium and vanadium associated proteins.

How interesting the world can get.

2007-02-05T19:35:00.000-08:00

Very very sick now. I think my classroom is like contaminated with germs. Everyone is like taking turns to fall sick; and it isn't even Chinese New Year yet. ZZZZ. Valentine's day is coming. Totally no idea who is my 5d and 4J angel. But frankly, i kind of hate the Angel and Mortal game already. The first time you play, you get a kick out of it. Subsequently, it becomes like a chore. That's unless if you have nice angels, which i obviously DON'T have.

Joined tennis as my 2nd CCA. Fun i would say. Going to have bio test and chem test. Sigh, really hate tests man. Sadly, we can't run away from it. I feel as if i've got no life now. Plus, i think i am growing fatter and fatter. Everything is taking the wrong turn!!!!

I just want to get well now. Oh, CNY is coming. Money money come come. Haha, that's if i can even touch the money. I want to go shopping!!!

Speaking of shopping, i just went to town on Saturday with my sister. Everything is just so boring. Heeren is like so cold. Cineleisure is so boring. Far East Plaza is worse. I spotted this barney shirt that i like alot!!!! But it's so pricey. It's like freaking thin and it costs 50 bucks. HAHA. That's some splurge there. Should buy/should not buy? Hmmm, speaking economically, my MB here is less than MC so i should not buy. But econs never teach about temptations!!!! HAHA.

2007-01-27T15:35:00.000-08:00

Hah, finally had a taste of what PT in ODAC is like. Running was okay for me. Ran like 2 km plus approximately 3km. Then went back to school for circuit trainings. ZZZ, a set consisted of: push ups, crunches, burpees(how to spell?) and dips. Like god, i realise i cant dip well enough. But it wasn't like tough until i get muscle aches today.

Went for dinner with the xtreme and xplore people. It was Mr Ang's treat. Haha, it was then did i realise Meng Shuen is one horny guy. Didn't eat much cause i must diet. Yes, DIET.

Today went for CIP at a moral home for the intellectually disable. Quite sad man, but it ended rather early so went to PP with Shi Ling and Jun Ming. Got the stuff and went to eat Ramen. Eat until i broke okay. Sucks when you have yet to receive your allowance. Then went home.

I think my hp is going to spoil man. It has since fell from great heights for 2 times. Once was when Qian Bing mistook my skirt for hers and it just fell out of the bloody pocket. Second was today when the ee-di-o-tic sister of mine was playing tennis is the house and so FORTUNATELY it hit my phone, causing it to "bounce" off the table. Amen, i say.

Feeling sleeply. I want to eat salmon.

2007-01-24T17:00:00.000-08:00

I am feeling so full now. Survived on a piece of papaya and honeydew all the way till i reach home. (which was around 3.30pm) So, i cooked maggi mee myself. Tasted gross but i ate it anyway. The damn house has nothing to eat and i am home alone!

Went home with Jessalyn and Francesca just now. Something different from my usual company. sigh, did i mention that i was feeling so depressed during econs. It's so overwhelming. I feel so sad; it's as if i got no life. Where's my life. Where's my life. Who says school is like your second home. So UNTRUE.

I shall stop bitching about how my life sucks instead and accept that it is a fact. So sick of this. I think i am going to have white hair.

I shall blog over the weekends. Bye blog.

2007-01-19T17:29:00.000-08:00

It's the weekend again, with loads of homework to do, of course. I have finally given mdm leong the class photo list and it is like a big load off me. I wouldn't want days when she sees me, she'll go like: "Ming Fang (that's how she remembered me but of course it's corrected now) where's the class photo list?"

Sadly, my class had to stay back for biology prac when everyone else went home! Fortunately, it was rather slack. Somehow, bio pracs are on the whole, cleaner than chem pracs. I actually like chem pracs better maybe excluding the calculations part.

I know everyone doesn't like to hear me rant so i shall post pics of the twin's bday.

The maids.

Us.

Mom, me, aunty, grandmother.

Us. again. It was a bad hair day.

And again! Haha.

Night swimming.

Legs.

Ending today's post with my love of course. LAWL.

2007-01-17T16:25:00.000-08:00

HAH, supposed to be doing my economics online worksheet but i slacked and came here!!!!

Feeling so bored. Nothing much to complain about actually. Just feeling bored. Getting used to school, homework, cca, projects. After all, if you are a student, you can't run away from them.

I kind of like GP actually. Bio too. I think it is rather interesting. Phospolipid Bilayer. But i don't think i like Econs. ZZZ, and i never actually liked math, although i think partial fractions is okay. The hard stuff hasn't come yet you see. I still haven't cultivated the habit of reading the papers everyday but i read 2-3 days worth of papers all at one go. Chem is okay, and i think Mr Soh is funny. Still figuring why he is called Cassidy <---- unique. Seriously i thought it was the female teacher's name. MOST HATED SUBJ: BSP!!!! I swear i was like half asleep. Actually i was thinking the topic would be rather interesting if it was in english.

Finally had a taste of what MASS PE was yesterday. Nothing good at ALL. Running practically takes up all of your time and leaving you just a teeny bit of time to do whatever you like. Oh yeah as what Mr Tang says: FITT. Must remember if you don't want to be suffering from stuff like chronic heart diseases when you're older.

Okay, i better get back to mugging. Must not lag you see. I wonder how some pro people can sleep during lectures. Too qiang already.

2007-01-13T23:50:00.000-08:00

Went for ODAC today. First day of CCA. So went kayaking. Wah, i suck ALOT in kayaking. I have like returned everything i learnt to my instructor. I was practically lagging behind because i can't paddle straight!!! So loserish right. Haha. But Mr Koh's younger brother (a very nice person) taught me some skills and i can paddle straight already. Turns out to be my sweep strokes had some level of errors. But it was fun playing monkey with the polo ball and learning how to pass the ball. So tired.

But i made it a point to rush to my cousin's birthday party when i was like aching all over. ZZZ, ate very little. Ate like a quarter of a sotong and lots of cherry tomatoes, cucumber and celery. I just felt so tired and did not have much of an appetite. Then Max's friends started dunking the b-day boys into the pool. Like WTH!!! After that, almost everyone was dunked inside? I, for NO RHYME OR REASON got pushed in too. Sickening. Was wet all over la. I don't want to catch a cold or whatever man. Worst part is, i was wearing a skirt and i kept getting upskirted. Gross. shit.

I am like so tired. Want to sleep. BUT BUT BUT BUT i haven't finish my GP journal entry!!! HW SUCKS LA.

2007-01-12T20:25:00.000-08:00

I haven't touched the computer for more than a week! I am like taking out some time to relate myself to the cyber world again. School has officially started for a week.

I am in 5D. Taking the very common BCME combi. Another fact: I am loving my class! Liwen commented that 5D is like a dream class. (don't know how true is that.) She mentioned that the people are nice and the combi ain't too bad and i totally agree with her. My form teacher is actually a new teacher: Mdm Linda Tan aka Mrs Chan. Turns out to be that she was an ex- DHS girl and she used to be from volleyball. Who would have known man? I've got like a load of interesting teachers.

Civics Tutor: Mdm Linda Tan who is my math tutor too.
GP: Mr Simon Cave
Bio: Miss Tan PB
Econs: Mdm Leong.

Other subjects are not worth mentioning. Because i said i didn't like fishballs, i became the Econs rep for no rhyme or reason. ZZZZ. I am like so stressed out now. I never felt so hardworking in my life. You see, my class people are those who start doing the HW they receive straight away when there's a teeny weeny bit of free time. In those days (3j/4j), i will most prolly spend my time yakking away and leaving the HW for later. Now, everyone is mugging so hard when school has only started for 5 days? OMG. STRESS!!!! I am surrounded by hardworking people.

Going for CCA tomorrow. Joined ODAC.

Life is going at such a fast pace. I am not too sure when's the next time i'll be touching the com again. Till then.

2007-01-07T22:35:00.001-08:00

Sigh, i think i am like at the low of my life now. My sunburn is really so bad i just feel like cooping myself at home. I like to admit i am rather image conscious you see, with the current condition of my face, i just don't feel like going anywhere. Like how long will it take to recover? Sucks going around with a RED face. I hate it. SIGH SIGH SIGH. Even sunblock SPF 50 didn't work. SIGH. Ranting won't heal my face anyway.

On another note, my crazy dad bought cartons of SNAPPLE. Different flavours. Interestingly behind the cap of each snapple bottle, there is a fun fact. I didn't notice till today.

Anyway, school is like starting real soon. I mean, lessons. I am more or less used to the campus being in Buona Vista already; THANKS TO xtreme making me go back to school like countless of times during the holidays.

I was browsing the internet due to my extreme boredom and chanced upon Xiaxue's blog. Okay, so i guess the hottest thing about her now is her nose job. Did i mention i really hate my nose!!!! But no way am i going to go under the knife. Think Micheal Jackson. Scares me a whole lot!!! Speaking of her, i watched the show "Girls Out Loud" on youtube hosted by her and Rosalyn. I really like Ros!!! I don't know why, but i just got the feeling Xiaxue is like trying too hard. No offence but yeah my 2 cents worth only.

AND, i hate my legs. AIYAH, i hate myself la.

Reading Harry Potter and the half blood prince for the second time. I like.

Last Day of DHS XTREME.

I would say it was a rather good day today. I was supposed to be a class facilitator for 4J with Hong Yi. Then, i think Hong Yi don't want so i ended up with Chai Hong. At first i thought that 4J would be really really bad cause it was actually sort of a gep-er class. BUT (key word is BUT) i was so wrong!!! After our first station, Jun Ming changed positions with Chai Hong. You see, 4J help 4J.

The class was really on and stuff. Intellectual, they call themselves. They cheered although at times they needed some prompting. On the whole, they were like so CUTE la. They had this guy who's their "class entertainer" (aka Jonathan) who cheorographs dance moves for the whole class. This really helped them gained like 100 odd bonus points. (50 from dear Kheng Hoe) They were first for Atlantis Challenge too. Feel so happy for them <---- since it was like the first time they won something.

Clean up was not too bad actually. I really hate clean ups but thinking it was the last day i just told myself to do it. In the end, i carried the benches; yue ban yue shuang. Got some "quarrel" at the later part.... Not involving me though. I prefer to like stay out of it.

My face is now like as red even redder than a lobster. I am tired of listening to comments like :" OMG, Fang Ming your face is so red"/"Haha, you're cooked"/"Wah, your sunburn really bad" ZZZ, now i kind of think being tanned maybe not be too good.

Shall try to get hold of some photos.

DHS XTREME 07

Ah, finally got time to blog. This week (although it hasn't ended) is super busy and tiring. On tuesday stayed over in school. Had only freaking 2 hours of sleep!!!! But i shouldn't be complaining because got other people suffering too. So i woke up with June at 430am to bathe. But the shower quite shiok la although the water pressure was kind of huge. Anyway the school is not as scary as it seemed to be unless you are alone.

Okay, so wednesday (first day of school) was torturous! Everyone was so tired but we had to "act high, act enthu" when we actually like DEAD. Weird but we wore our new skirts with our facil shirts. I am proud to mention i am one of those who didn't alter my skirt. Okay, so we had xtreme for the year 3s. There was some sort of delay in the morning ---> in the end, everything was pushed back by 1h 15 mins. Everything ran just as it was supposed to be i guess. Haha, for the teachers vs yr3s tug of war, the rope actually snapped! shocking. The teachers attituded and didn't want to join in the teachers' challenge. Partly because they weren't properly attired anyway. Debriefed, reached home around 5 plus. I immediately went to bathe and slept at 6. Now my battery is totally recharged!!! Yay me.

Today, woke up around 5 to find out that -----> SUCKY PERIOD has come. SUCKY SUCKY. ( To Shi Ling: You not bad ah, can foretell one. HAHA) XTREME for year 2s. I was class facilitator for 2G with Keith. Yes, Keith Chang. He was quite helpful though. Went through the rotations. I don't know what to say about 2G but, SIGH. The girls treat the guys like poison and the guys act as if they will melt if they had any girl contact. The atmosphere was totally sucky. Getting them to cheer was harder than moving an elephant. Plus, keith didn't want to cheer so i did cheering. 2G performed quite well during mermaid soccer though. They scored like 4 or 5 goals. It was there when Kheng Hoe came over and commented that this certain group of guys in 2G were wussies. Which is like damn real la. The girls were really much much better. They had more initiative to cheer and stuff. I am not being sexist here but those boys really !!!!! Except a few who were more normal and enthu. They didn't win anything of course. But i felt a little sad for them cause they did improve in their spirit towards the end. I don't understand them lo. It's like their last year together, can't they like show more class spirit? They should wait until end of the year and start crying and missing each other when they can cherish the moments they have still... Think: "You'll only cherish sthg after you've lost it" Anyway i wasn't too tired today caused my battery's kind of recharged.

Tomorrow should be rather tiring cause got to clear up EVERYTHING after xtreme for year 4s. Must go charge my battery later but i want to watch BAI WAN BAO! Lol. Did i mention, i am SUN DRENCHED (as quoted from Banana Boat After sun Lotion)! Sucks, my face is redder than a lobster and it hurts like hell. It'll start peeling so so so soon. UGLY SHIT!!!! Because of excessive sweating a few more pimples have emerged from my face---> AHHHHH!

BTW, the year 5 class allocation is already out. I'm in 5D. Combi: H2 Bio, H2 Chem, H2 Math, H2 Econs. CCA: unconfirmed. My class is ok lor but don't have my good friends. Su Su: 5B, June: 5F, Joanne, 5c

I shall try and recall who's in my class....

4h: Xu Mei, Ying Yu, You Bao, Hui Qi, Roy, Amelia, Jing Wen
4i:Bi Wen, Charmaine Neo
4j: Me, Ying Qing, Clarissa, Francesca, Hui Shan, Kenny, Nicholas (6 year classmatie)
4k: Jobina, Yi Wei

Aiya, can't remember the others. Can't wait for the weekend to come.

2006-12-29T23:00:00.000-08:00

Went to school today to help out as a facilitator for the Teachers' Treasure Hunt. Not too bad i guess. Haha, the teachers were damn funny. Plus, the school is like so big and there are so many hidden corners you might just get lost somewhere. Just like how Shi Ling and I got lost. We were both trying to find 1K and 4A respectively and omg i swear we walked around the block about 3 times; maybe more. In the end, both classrooms were actually container classrooms.

Officially 4 more days to school reopen but for the extreme people, it's 3 cause we are staying over on the 2nd. Oh well.
