anyway..some random findings:::
-having an ulcer on the tongue hurts so much
-ourtunes rocks our socks
-film and history's the lesson i look forward to every week
-corrine may's lyrics can be really lovely..
-i feel tired but not sleepy most of the time
-im glad i joined the cg in hall
-i wish i could blog more of my thoughts here

How happy is the blameless vestal's lot!
The world forgetting, by the world forgot.
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!
Each pray'r accepted, and each wish resign'd.

revived!!! by popular demand!
haha bleh.
shall do a major revamp to this place:)

2006-08-21T00:13:00.000+08:00

today is a darn cock day...
cos
1) i overslept and missed the real run
2) i forgo spca run for real run and ya, i actually missed the latter!
3) i was frantically trying to open my house door with my transpondent..how dumb!!
4) i went to town at night not knowing i wore a pair of birks of different sides!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Below is a clear evidence of the very blur me..

so jus before you condemn me with my blurness(well some already has..bleahh), this is the first time i actually overslept and missed an event!! And i have never worn a mismatched pair of footwear out before....argh..thank goodness another day has come.

2006-08-17T12:34:00.000+08:00

the pile of readings this sem looks INTIMIDATING.
anyway..a long photo post ahead!

2006-08-17T12:06:00.000+08:00

a flashback of the past 3 weeks..

it started with pizza party
meet my nehborr bud key..we were the first few to dig in..opps

Then there was seniors bbq,

Orientation itself: 2 weeks long of fun and havoc!

many games in store for the freshies:

catch our very own mona in action!

we councillors had our share of fun too!

year2 girls living at A4!

tianyou and i with etor at our station..

wonderful hallies..

Intiation was really a brand new sort of experience:)

snapshots of mirela:

Last but not least,
rag dance which saw late nights and long hours of practice and working towards perfection and amidst the process, new friendships were forged, old friendships strengthened, new cheers were created(think: giga giga), laughter and joy shared and everyone getting bonded as one working towards a common goal..

with babygirl jialin..haha

kevin!

my partner fuhongggggg

some of us with stefan!

the darling looking so happy after touching up

with my freshies dancers!

with girlies shiping and linda ~

with shin and weilin!
with fellow councillor jiexin !

the despair dancers:

enters the angel of death..

Then she breaks away into liberation..

And the hopeful dancers did a pretty finishing.

After the presentation:

Stand tall for temasek hall.

2006-08-15T04:01:00.000+08:00

its 356am right now and im still awake..waiting for my hair to dry so that i can turn in..
gosh what a long day today..but boy, despite it being the first day of school, twas was fun.
so lets see..
ty and i woke up early so we could get to town to catch an early show..we watched lakehouse as planned. It was supposed to be sweet and touching and stuff..well it was, but the plot's pretty unrealistic to me cos i dont think a time lapse of 2 years can actually happen between two people. I mean, i just cant imagine it. A wrong timing may inevitably separate a couple, but a default in timing itself? Not possible right
I finally plucked my brows. my brows get messy after 2 weeks...no kidding. unwanted hair jus grow out from all directions around the brows..which is soo fugggglyyy..but for now, i have nice neat brows:)
we rushed back to school jus in time for film and history, a 4hr module but ended really early today cos it was only an introduction lesson..i love history modules..the lecturers are hilarious they make you stay awake for the entire lesson and stay attentive throughout..lets jus hope they are another bruce lockhart..then i will look forward to this lecture every week.
After the lecture, we went to sim lim to look for speakers..but much to our disappointment, there werent any to our liking! There were some good ones but unfortunately,they were out of our budget...boohoooo..anyway,anyone out there planning to sell or give away their speakers? feel free to approach me, heh heh
we had a late dinner@ kfc which was just plain sinful...too much fatty foods consumed today..crystal jade pastries, cookies, popcorn, soft drinks etc
im fast becoming a hot air balloon and dont be surprised if you will see me floating in the sky one of these days:(
anyways, the night ended with a final debrief with the og back in hall...it was nice seeing these familiar faces again..we shared our feelings and thoughts with each other which made me realise that
the oc and councillors' hard work and great efforts have not gone to waste afterall cos what we have acheived at the end of the camp were pretty satisfying as inferred from the freshies' remarks of which were mostly positive..
yupyup..think its time for me to sleep..time's running late..

2006-08-13T18:53:00.000+08:00

down with
-councillor pre camp
-orientation camp
-rag dance
of which these have been stuff that kept me occupied for the past 3 weeks
woww...its all over...
The past 3 weeks have been extremely hectic,especially the last week when almost every night's activity ended late then it was debrief with freshies followed by debrief with the other councillors and the night ended with rag dance practice till 3-4am. And the next morning started at 7-8am...
But it was all good. Fun and fulfiling experience i must say.
Took loads of pictures which i shall put up another time when i feel like it. Jus feel like lazing around now..
so now that everything's over, it means the start of a new school term..which is like tomorrow. And i forsee this school term to be more busy than the last two cos im taking 6 modules of which 3 are core....
shall buck up!!

2006-08-11T03:54:00.000+08:00

sometimes i think im inhuman because i dont get tired easily, even when others get worn out doing routine work for a while.
I find it hard to sleep in and even harder to sleep for more than 5 hours.
Nights like this, i lay awake and wonder why things happen the way they do. My mind's wide awake and im overwhelmed by all the worries in my head.
Perhaps i think too much,
too much for my own good.
But let me jus say,
it matters so it hurts.

2006-08-09T00:46:00.000+08:00

Come 12th of August,
is the annual rag day.
hope TH will outshine the rest for float and dance on this day and we temasekiens will be more proud than ever and get back what was taken away from us a year ago. So much hardwork and time involved to design and build such a massive float, many hours spent practising and perfecting the dance steps. Hopeless and hopeful dancers, we can do it! And make all those late nights and long hours worth it.
you know what, i think its gonna be beautiful when everything comes together.
//
im bruised all over:(
hopeless but hopeful, if you get what i mean.
3 more days.

2006-07-30T21:43:00.000+08:00

i havent been updating cos ive been really busy! jus moved back to hall which has been great cos i really enjoy the company of the peeps around me..so it has been moving back to hall, 5 days of councillor pre camp, and other hall stuff like seniors' bbq and pizza party/movie screening and not forgetting rag dance practice..Besides that, there are steps from retro dance and mass dance to remember for orientation! haha im involved with so many dance stuff..Then again, i think im definitely more inclined towards sports than cultural stuff..Still, i think dance's really fun! its been quite an experience so far:)
so im looking forward to the 7-day orientation ahead for the hall freshies..haha think we ve much in store for them..and the theme this yr is reverie~ so dream of having crazy wild fun for now...im officially a senior now..and thats sad cos i feel old and i want to be a freshie all over again...
bye!

2006-07-23T00:10:00.000+08:00

i was on the verge of deleting this photo cos i dont appear very clear then i realised..OMG! this is actually a very nice photo!

what a beautiful background right!!

Then i was reminded that,
sometimes we are so caught up with our own lives we do not realise the beauty around us.
we tend to take everything for granted..
But ya know, God's creation is really pretty and mesmerizing.
watching the world by can bring wonders:)

2006-07-20T23:39:00.000+08:00

these 3 mths got by too fast...
but well, it has been really fulfiling in terms of catching up w old/current pals, driving(satisfactory aye), holidaying, earning extra cash from work and basically jus relaxing.
Am moving back to hall tomorrow. I actually miss hall quite a lot! I do feel quite lonely @home at times especially when my brother was away in belgium for exchange. Now that hes back, its not so bad but i will be back in hall. sigh.And i realised i havent been spending much time with my parents either. what a bad daughter im and i should jus stop procrastinating.
The following weeks before school starts should be rather hectic with more intensive rag dance practice,driving, councillor's pre camp plus the 7 day orientation itself, and giving tuition during my free slots(which ive to find time amidst my busy schedule cos the kid's prelims' is in august). oh dear,its times like this that i really wish i could have >24hrs in a day.
For now,I cant wait to sit in the rented pick-up tomorrow! haha thats one of the thing i look forward most to when moving back to hall! :))) i luv to be driven by you!!!!!!!!!!

2006-07-20T12:22:00.000+08:00

My brother brought his maltese home. TREVOR! haha..hes sooooooo adorable. hes really clean, smells like a baby, has the softest fur, doesnt bark much but on the contrary, is super hyper. He displays a lot affection like sniffing us, licking us all over and he especially loves to lick my brother's lips! haha.
now i completely understand why people say that dogs' men's best friend by observing how close this fellow is with my kor. They are like, inseparable!
here are some snapshots of the little one:::

my brother kept him with me while he went to bathe. And this fellow jus stood by the door waiting for him!! hello?!?! trevor?? trevor?????? He completely ignores me when my brother's out off sight.

After a while, he decided to lie down but still looking as hopeful awaiting for the return of my brother. HMPF!

AlAS! Kor's out from shower. Trevor jumped up and down for joy. Too fast and too high, its really difficult to capture his movement. haha..And then he followed him back to his room. And yes, this little fellow continued to be oblivious of my presence!!

Playing timeeeeeeee

its alright..i applaud you for your loyalty towards your owner. And ure still as cute. silly pup...heh heh..hes like a white furball:)

ive decided that i want to live under a roof with the other half, 3 children and a pup or a golden retriever in the near future. niceeeeee.

2006-07-17T23:11:00.000+08:00

was out with the hall peeps to celebrate zes's bday yesterday..and it was quite hilarious because she was made to stand on the chair @fishandco and the staff announced to all in the house abt her birthday and did a birthday rap&song for her..
Above are her very unglam shots..
haha

we left for lido to catch pirates of the carribean2 after that. It was not as fanastic as the first one BUT, johnny depp's still as amazing as ever.a brilliant actor who's perfectly suitable for the role. An unexpected tragic ending though ughh. what a pity huh

Met up with gabriel and key today. Lunched before hitting fareast and bugis village to shop for our retro stuff for councillors' dance..haha finally bought a retro dress and i just hope i wont regret it.

key looking witty with her new fairy wand!tsktsk

Then it was meeting up w zes and chengngee to celebrate zes's bday. Her birthday's today! It was quite a lot of fun and we had a few surprises in store for her! haha we are quite good fakers and the surprises turned out to be more successful than i expected..
Just look at how happy she is>>>>

Happy birthday, bestfriend!

2006-07-15T23:01:00.000+08:00

kor dearest.

2006-07-15T22:33:00.000+08:00

jus got back from a run with kor..managed only 12 rounds..how pathetic right. But at least my brother was pacing me and i was running by his side..
booo i feel fat!!
sigh
anyway, darling was nice to replenish my supply of kinder surprise(s) and i happily finished the 3 eggies within a week. how terrible is that!@%$^&*
so,i need a more happening saturday night!! hes having a fun night out rahrahing with his og mates while my kor has jus left the house to meet his friends and chillout for the night..And me?? im left alone in my room but of course with a task in mind to accomplish...zes's present! alright.the best friend deserves all my time and efforts. oh yes..and happy 6th yr to her and david!(though my dear bestie aka com retard might not be seeing this so soon)..muahah thats frigggging long. And if they do get married(which i highly forsee so)..im gonna be their bridesmaid...hahahaha though zes thinks ill most probably get married first and hence she will be my bridesmaid instead...hmmm..we will see about that.tsk
ive set up a livejournal account..in an attempt of getting connected to synnie's..since thats the only way and im like damn tempted to move there for good and probably make it private...but well, for now, im not too sure.

2006-07-12T21:19:00.000+08:00

Just uploaded the BK photos to my com and realised i blogged most of them..
haha
I wanted to write captions but i guess the photos are more than enough to do the talking:)
I went for driving today.it was ATC lesson..oh boy..didnt know driving auto is so brainless so i think ill rather drive auto next time but changing gears is so fun(though rolling off slopes's NOT!)! Anyway ive a huge phobia for parking...sucks..hope ill overcome it real soon.
Past few days have been a rollercoaster ride.some ups but lots of downs.glad everything's turning for the better now.
I kinda miss shopping at BK..all the dirt cheap prices. I think im rather good at bargaining..harhar..you know,its like the norm there. And if you dont bargain, perhaps you've stepped in the wrong place.. so anyway i was in town yesterday and i almost did some bargaining..darn!! Thank gdness i remembered. can u imagine bargaining at zara? Think they will just tell you to goanddie or send you behind bars....
Didnt know we could shop so much..4 days of hardcore shopping!! we started early in the day and ended late at night..chatuchak was damnit huge!! the size of 10 football fields and all the stalls were all cramped up..so can you imagine how much there is to shop!? but my fave still has to be suan lam night bazaar! i love love love the ambience there and the stuff is really pretty. went there for 2 nights and im still not sick of it! Patpong was sleazy and i had a rather traumatising experience there..felt so digusted i was too shocked for words..if you think geylang is complicated, you should not even try patpong.Then there was massage@ prattunam..5sing for an hr of massage!! Over here..its like approx $28 bucks for half an hour..the difference is like so drastic right. We shopped too much and only had some spare time for one massage..what a pity eh. so aye, this trip was truely enjoyable with some really pleasant company..but i have to add that i dont miss the tuktuk conmens, the polluted air and the heavy traffic in BK..
We should be thankful that these are non existent in our homeland...
And by the way, national day is coming.
hee

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

2006-07-10T04:49:00.000+08:00

omg what a tragedy...
zidane was such a let down towards the end. that was sooo unexpected.damn disappointed la..
i think hes gone mad.
zidane zidane how could you how could you.
a morale booster for italy anyway and of course the loss of a killer penalty shooter for france..
sometimes, people do what they do not know.................
wth
on the other hand, the italian players were speedy and perservering while goalie buffon proved his worth with some really good saves.
that explains much and so this puts worldcup06 to an end.
so sad.

2006-07-05T23:18:00.000+08:00

yay done with packing so im more or less prepared to jus grab my bag and leave for the airport early in the morning.
really excited!!
:D

2006-07-05T23:00:00.000+08:00

He will be with you always alright?:) so ill be seeing a tanner, stronger and less hairy you soon..

2006-07-05T00:20:00.000+08:00

counting down to YOUR birthday: 3 days!

2006-07-04T22:38:00.000+08:00

photowhored again ;)

2006-07-04T19:17:00.000+08:00

boo
been sick for the 3rd time in 4 weeks. either im unhealthy or im unhealthy.
so anyways..i think im heaty cos ive slight blood traces from my nose and the arsehole(how very disgusting)and my face's rather flushed recently. And guess what, im having a bad cold too; having a perpetually runny nose and blocked nose on non-runny days(u got it yeah the usual flu symptons..no biggie.) So im like caught in a dilemna of whether to take cooling or hot stuff. Either way it may worsen one of the conditions. Then again, i should try taking lukewarm water or water @room temperature but would it even help...i might just not recover from the 2 anytime soon.
ahhhhhh why do i even bother thinking so much over such a trivial thing?
life's just full of dilemnas and this is one teeny weeny example of everyday life.
but still, it doesnt feel good to be hot and cold or cold and hot at the same time. its like, neither here nor there but caught in between.
....
on a less nosey issue, dad was so sweet yesterday. Even a small gesture of his made my day. absolutely touched:)

mum has forbidded me to take up eric's next job lobang; some 2 week full shift promoter job. she didnt like me to go home so late especially when the location is in the east. She could also see i was really prone to falling ill from being a workholic. i was reluctant intially cos of obvious reason.heh but now im glad i didnt cos i really do need some rest....at least for the time being:) ive been enjoying the past few days; just relaxing at home, going out to chillout or at most,driving. And all aint so bad cos parents have given me some money for my BK trip..so like heh heh. im contented.
speaking of which, i cant wait for thurs to come. And its gonna be my first time out of singapore with the bestfriend.
how wonderful : D
oh yes, did i mention...i sucked at parking.

2006-07-02T20:44:00.000+08:00

this week was fruitful in terms of catching up with pals:)
-went night cycling with man and yq. NICE!
-met up w man and ry for dinner and chill out..which was both relaxing and enjoyable.
-supper w kingkey at adam's and its always lovely to see them:)
-met up with steph whos back from US for a dimsum feast..i was bloated to the max.but it was all good.
-met up with synnie and co,darling and ended up watching recycle,a supposedly horror show with a queer plot. it was also sleep inducing at the more boring parts. i never liked horror shows in the first place.
-met up w april whom i havent seen since sec2! what a fabulous meetup and loads of catching up done!!
-and of cos. some quality time spent with the rahrah-er

BANGBANGBANG:) ITS BANGKOK THIS WEEK!

2006-07-02T20:36:00.000+08:00

love at first sight:)

2006-07-02T20:25:00.000+08:00

RAHRAHRAHRAHRAHRAHRAHRAHRAHRAHRAH ;)

2006-06-28T22:50:00.000+08:00

what a delightful night:) a fulfiling dinner followed by after dinner drinks at muddymurphy's.12 yrs and counting of knowing u two and even better.

2006-06-28T10:40:00.000+08:00

just came back from night cycling! didnt sleeep.damn tired now. ..wyman and yq have been wonderful company! whats with all the ghost stories and jokes and funny quests shared throughout the night..haha

cycled from east coast to geylang to esplanade/fullerton area and back..not really a long distance but we stopped by kallang macs to watch worldcup.brazil vs ghana. quite a good game and the huge crowd there made it even more exciting. all the OOOOHs and AHHHHHHHHHHs and GOAL!!!!!!!!! and AIYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! words were heard every now and then for that 2 whole hours. The macs there was so packed with people, all surrounding that significantly small tv screen..So who do i think will win the worldcup? england? brazil? argentina? italy? or who??
i really have got no idea!
but as the saying goes ,"the ball is round."
so we'll see.
im gonna take a shower now then hit my bed immediately!!

2006-06-27T18:17:00.001+08:00

sometimes, companies/brands try too hard to come up with creative sales gimmicks...

saw these at crystaljade bakery.
Note how they TRY to link the chinese words with the english names. pretty corny eh???haha and it makes me wonder who would buy more of these pastries after seeing the tags..Will you?
i thought "zidane" was the lamest.
and i guess the company's an avid brazil fan???

having 2 driving slots in a day is mentally tiring! haha..but today wasnt as bad as yesterday. My instructor fell asleep yesterday! and started snoring for more than half of the lesson. No kidding. i was sooo disturbed by it. Thank goodness i didnt crash or anything, im back home in one piece! Whats more disappointing is that that instructor is my fave one there! so i was really taken aback. I got him again today! Okay he didnt sleep today. But still. you know? how an incident can totally condemn a person? well ill try not to and at least ive got to give him some credits since ive learnt damn alot from him during other lessons. maybe he was jus really tired that day. And perhaps thats why he brought along some sweets for the lesson today??
ahhhhh now i see .

2006-06-26T09:23:00.000+08:00

When every other day has been spent with people, today shall be my day.
I woke up bright and early, having an urge of spending this day alone and making it a really relaxed one.
But i only have some time before driving and work.
what shall i do? : )

ill be back for updates.

from nothing to something.

2006-06-25T00:43:00.000+08:00

fom nothing to something.

2006-06-24T02:03:00.000+08:00

is this what i want?

2006-06-24T00:55:00.000+08:00

work was tiring but fun today!
haha cos there was this ice cream parlour opposite us having their grand opening and since it was their first day, they were giving out free scoops of gelato ice cream to anyone and everyone! The palour's called HAATO. So anyway some of us scurried over to the place for freeeee icecream in between work and then we sort of have our own ice cream feast by tasting each other's. Tried milk tea,rock melon,durian and green tea amongst many others.
And i have to say..its so yums!
It was much nicer than i expected cos most of the time, free things/giveaways arent necessary nice, theres a reason why they need to be promoted or advertised. But yaaa. its really tasty! its an extra bonus that they were giving it away for free!
Apart from rum&raisin and mint and yoghurt, green tea's my next favourite flavour! I love the cooling sensation i get from eating it. Besides, it just felt like im gulping down ice blended green tea. how soothing to the throat. how NICE!
i dont like too complicated icecream. Those that add loads of stuff into it. Chunky stuff like nuts, mashmellows,biscuits, caramel and whatnot. It sort of kills the taste of the icecream and makes u appreciate it lesser. I mean im fine with icecream like Ben and jerry's but i would prefer simpler ice cream anytime. Ice cream that allows u to lick and savour the taste rather than bite and swallow the chunky bits the whole time. So you get to taste more of the reaaaaaaaaaal stuff;the ICE and the CREAM . Keep it simple and enjoy the moment.
haha

Enough of ice cream for today. if not ill turn into a ball soon and roll down orchard road.

2006-06-22T00:46:00.000+08:00

I spent the past hr browsing verawong's and im totally awed by the gorgeous stuff they've got. From bridal gowns to cocktail dresses to full dresses to seasonwear to lingerie; everything's so classy and pretty. i like!
And this particular bridal gown that caught my attention. It was like love at first sight you know?:) I keep thinking about it. Then i imagined wearing that on my wedding day walking down the aisle of the church together with dad and my significant other, witnessed by close relatives and friends who showers me with the greatest blessings. All in God's presence. How perfect. How blissful. My sort of cliche yet dream wedding.
I know ive many years down the road to think abt that and i shouldnt be thinking so much now but i just cant help it whenever i have my eyes fixed onto these brochures featuring gowns. Fanasties and sweet thoughts just cloud my mind.
but lets just hope ill even get married. or ill turn a grumpy old spinster who will probably age twice faster than every other women out there.

2006-06-20T20:38:00.000+08:00

it sucks having a bad cold,feeling feverish and worn out from the past few days of mad rush but yet not being able to sleep.

My mind's wide awake.

I keep reminiscing the past and i realise i miss.

2006-06-17T21:38:00.000+08:00

maybe going to BK from 6-9th july isnt such a good timing afterall.
6july-my brother's back from belgium and we will both be taking morning flightS!
7july-wyman's getting enlisted. that means lesser time to meet up w him.
8july-key and steph's bday.
ill be missing out on all these.damn

on a brighter note, it was room alloc day today! Im so glad with my new room. With my 2 fave gfs in hall; zes facing me and key next to me, what more can i ask for right? :)
soo looking forward to next sem!

2006-06-16T22:10:00.000+08:00

OMG!
after not being able to get into blogger.com and having a realllly laggy computer for a week or so, i thought my com has died in the hands of trojan. Thank gdness my small but mighty com survived that! I was stupid enough to off my firewall urghhhhhhhhh but nvm about it, credits to norton for i was able to detect all the files that were under threat!! But i still have 4 files infected w the deadly virus.AHH
so ive been really occupied w stuff.my daily timetable has been jam packed with activities. Once again, i have forgotten to be still in the presence of God. But the weird thing is that im constantly reminding myself that..maybe the Holy spirit is once again talking to me..like hello?? have u forgotten about God?? u better do something abt it.
but no. ive not forgotten about you. I love you God and i know you're with me. I thank you for the countless blessings you have given me though i've always feel so highly unworthy of them. I just wish to draw nearer to you.
I love worship time on sundays. Gospel music is just so uplifting and spiritually rejuvenating. Its more than an adrenaline rush and it keeps you going for the week. And i really hope i could worship Him this way all year round, every day and every min. God is good.
;)
so for the past 2 weeks..heres what ive been up to:
-working at bigO
-driving driving and more driving. Its a love-hate rship but noooo i want the license so badly!!
-being a responsible tuition teacher by making a pt to be on time for each session and staying longer than i should.
-met up w shanjin and becks at the sun/moon restaurant in wheelock. I love the ambience there and yess..the real jap food(compare this to sakae..they are like worlds apart).
-watching worldcup and acting like i know whats going on.hee
-met up w hongg and ate a filling lunch at billy bombers.
-paid my bk trip which left me nothing..and absolutely broke!(but yesss im going BK!)
-online monopoly. cheap thrill,really!

speculation is like a rollercoaster ride.you just keep going in rounds and thereafter comes to an abrupt halt.Almost immediately, you return to the original position.
it gets you no where,dude.

went back to bigO to work today!
everything still looks so familiar despite having a one yr break.harhar
but sigh, many new part timers now and i sure do miss the old peeps..especially the servers 7 and 10 whom i worked with.harhar.
At least im glad the kitchen's peeps are still around. And gosh, they are still the same as a year ago. Like totally-what they say, how they speak, how they look, what they do. Well, you get the picture.
BigO's pay is really quite low but i shant be complaining. Im going back there because i like the environment and miss the work nature of a waitress. And i know very well that once i graduate, ill never be able to do that again.
I dont think i want to either.
Monday was a feasting day. For lunch, we feasted on ikea's meatballs/wings. Followed by guava at queensway. And then we had bubble tea(ya again! i really lurrvee it)in town. Dinner again. And then it was desserts @nydc. Oh yes, I didnt really enjoy the desserts and i think bigO's desserts win nydc's hands down. In case ure wondering why the comparision, they are both under the same management.
All in all, everything was good!! nono, not the food. But the company;)
Driving resumes tomorrow. I better stop taking breaks. If not, its going to be too time consuming and wasting too much of mum's money. My aim is to finish all my lessons and get the license by dec(harhar). Hope that's not being too ambitious.
And i cant wait for hall orientation to start. A pity when i was a freshman, i only attended half of it and now i am regretting it so much:( I actually missed hall orientation for faculty O week! oh please, if ure freshman planning to stay in hall please attend HALL orientation!! I think its wayyyy better and more fun than fac orientations. I mean , u can jus let your hair down and go wild..its ur home(some call it a hostel we call it our home)! haha. My point is..the activities are of a much higher challenge and you get to really mingle with people whom u will be seeing everyday for the next 2sems! gogogo! ill be a councillor..How old does that sound? I dont mind being a freshman all over again! Oh my. I just realised i have to go through initiation!!
Whatever it is,hope 24th of july comes soon!

And sigh, june is a month filled with so much memories.

2006-06-05T00:13:00.000+08:00

Glad that ive you. who listens to my never-ending complains..who gives me the tightest hugs..who brings me the sweetest surprises..who keeps me safe and sound in ur arms..who makes sure im loved..who gives in to me every time i have mood swings..who's been there for me all these while..who's so important to me.
Glad that ive you. Another you. who brightens up my life w ur voice and laughter..who loves me as a best friend. who is so real and true to yourself and others around. who shows me what it takes to be a genuine christian sister..and a bestie for life. who affectionately calls me "BETTTTY" and squeezes me:P
Still.
sheer bliss. i should learn to count my blessings.

pc show has finally ended! And we clocked a total of 14 hrs today.fwah damnnn tired!! Now i finally understand what ziqi,zes and ty meant when they said 6bucks per hr is really low..and dirt cheap!! Okay. It was for the amt of work we put in, for the endless conversations we tried to strike w customers..for the no of hrs we put in..and the short breaks we were given..not to mention the amt of stress plus scrutiny we were under. But still, i like to think it in a positive manner-that ive worked hard enough to earn tt every bit of my pay:D tts what u call optimism yeah??
So ive sort out my thoughts:its really not abt being too hard up for money..neither is it abt being giam-pen(money faced?)..its just only natural that you want to move up the ladder when u get older, when u have more qualifications and experience. So maybe its time to look further and acheive better.. and think long term.
this entry is a tad confusing yeah. nvm.
A brand new week ahead.

2006-06-03T22:25:00.000+08:00

When u have a major and most desperate craving for a certain thing which no one knows it but yourself and you know theres no way its gonna drop from the sky...so nevermind anyway you console yourself by dismissing it as a mere craving..
And then u least expected it but the craving turned a sweet reality when it just amazingly appears right before u..like TADA!!!
u jus feel so elated!
so over the moon!!
And like a child being presented with a lollipop and a baby given a warm tight cuddle..
you just smile like theres no tomorrow!!!

i had the sweetest and tasiest bubble tea today ;)

2006-06-02T01:39:00.000+08:00

i have been working 12 hrs almost everyday!
i like working and my in-charge thinks im turning workholic..haha
not totally true! cos there are days when i just yearn for some time to relax.
So ive been working as a promoter cum cashier for the past week and im glad that my blurness has not gotten in the way. Thank goodness ive not made any major or significant errors and things shall be left this way ie,be consistently careful. :D
Working for your own expenses is good in a sense it reminds you of how hard and how much you have been slogging away to earn that meagre amount of money and hence you will certainly be more careful when it comes to spending. Not sure for you,but it works for me! so like, YAY! I will think through not twice but thrice each time i want to buy something..or i will do a price comparison over a range of similar products..or ill think of the number of hrs ive to work to buy that particular stuff. It jus feels like bigO days all over again.but anyway there u go, working works the mind of the spendthrift and shall mould me into a saver for life(pun super intended). slowly but surely please.

Anyway, close pals would know that ive been phoneless for days! So alas! Ive got a new one! Thanks to supermom. She sure knows what i need. aye. and hell no to losing anymore hps!! Or should i put it in a better way-hell no to losing anymore hps to the theives out there!! i shall be sooo extraaaa careful this time theres no way anybody gonna separate me from it.

im sooooooo hungry now and i just cant help it; im sooooooooooooooooooooooo looking forward to hottiecakes and maple syrup tomorrow. And yes, margarine too:)

2006-05-26T10:20:00.000+08:00

heh. I just got back from a run. The sun was like, sizzling hot!! It wasnt really a good run cos i didnt manage to run 20 rounds which i had planned to. haha I only managed half of that. Nevermind, but i think my skin got a tone darker. haha.. I merely ran 2 rounds when fatigue starts to set in and i felt as though i was placed on a bbq pit, over direct fire and engulfed by flames of it. It was that hot!!
Anyway, when i was running on the track, there was this group of american sch students, probably around the age of 14-15 who went there for their pe lessons. I was rather amused by their enthusiasm towards pe. haha.. The moment they stepped onto the track, they started running excitedly, with smiles and laughter reaching all corners of the stadium. It was obvious that they really enjoyed their warm up of running rounds. Then it reminded me of my jc days. And then 03a12. I vividly remembered how our pe lessons were like. We had 19 peeps in class and attendance would already be considered really good if 6-8 went for pe. haha. We always managed to cook up all sorts of excuses to give pe a miss and the pe teachers would reluctantly accept them. I think they sorta gave up on making us do pe..haha. And the irony is that more than 3/4 of us were from sports cca..oh well. haha! So the scenario of the american sch students and us, a12 are like a juxtaposition of contrasting attitudes towards pe huh. You should see them..they really didnt need "pushing" or persuasion of any sorts. amazzzzzinggg!
But that doesnt mean im discrediting my class. Well, not at all!Although we slacked quite a bit but when we want to do something, we will do it well. So once again it reminded me of interclass bball where the girls of the class got 1st! haha I remembered how the girls wanted to win the title quite badly and everyone gave their all to fight for the ball. Be it scrambling(!), running, rolling, jumping watsoever, we just went for it. haha and tada! After several matches which we won all the way, we were the champions!!! And i recalled we were overwhelmed by so much joy and exhilaration after that. Although it was just an interclass competition, it was like a small sweet victory yet one which i believe we would remember as the yrs go by, when our hairs start to grey and when we become grandmamas/papas..hehe
i miss my jc days!! though i wish if i could turn back time, i would only work muchhh harder and treasure sch days more.
Anyhow, i love running! It rids unpleasant thoughts and makes u remember some precious and memorable bits and pieces of ur past. It is like a walk, or rather, a run down memory lane.
its bathing time.

2006-05-16T23:34:00.000+08:00

we had double dates w key and barry today!
haha fun!
watched poseidon..a titanic alike plot save for the love story..i cant believe i teared quite a bit! It was real heartwrenching having to witness one death's through drowning. But it felt even worse having to see how some characters died to save their loved ones. It felt so real. I felt i was escaping together w them in the ship and even after the show, i felt so "trapped".
ahh
marina square is the new cool hangout place!
they have renovated and they have all the shops one can ask for! oh my..so we ve got to go back again one day!
oh yesss.. we went to the arcade for daytona and some whacking game which key was a pro at! haha...it has been a long time since i played in the arcade..haha maybe since sec sch days?? we were having so much fun and laughter!! teehee
we ate at some HK cafe there for dinner. It was really yummy!! Good time catching up with em too ; )
i jus love walking around..
and im sooo like cybershot t7!!! i want!

///
anyway i hope the 3 of you enjoyed the time as much as i did.
nights.

2006-05-14T22:29:00.000+08:00

happy~day despite a horrendous haircut which was not to my liking:(.but it was only 6bucks ..tts like 5 times cheaper than town rates. still, joey's the most reliable hairdresser around..sighsigh
haha but heck it ya..hair grows so i shall stop complaining abt how bad my hair is.
seeing my mum and aunt flashing their pearly whites upon opening their presents makes me a happy girl. mission accomplished!! aha!!
though im 100+plus bucks poorer..the exchange to bring smiles to their faces 's worth it, really.
dinner was also a happy affair. ty was obliged to stay for dinner..haha so poor boy had to stay. and there goes, an inflated pot belly for him. steamboatsteamboat-it has gotta be the best way to bond a family through eating.
i was jus thinking abt the pro and cons bet staying at home and in hall..and i realised the pros for staying home are:
1) its not so hot..*chants aircon aircon!*
2) i get to eat whatever's yummy. i love home-cooked food!!
3) i get to eat many fruits(fyi: my mum's a fruit queen. she has this fridge that was bought to keep fruits!! hmmmm)
4) the location is so accessible to everywhere!! 2 direct buses to town(10mins ride)..direct buses to angmokio,hougang,tampines,clementi,chuachukang,bt batok,jurong,bugis,geylang etc etc..u name it, the bus stop has it!
5) clothes are washed,arranged, and ironed for me:)
6) i get to see mum and dad, and ruby.
7) if theres a need to take cabs, it can be easily flagged here(so unlike in hall where flagging for one is simply such an arduous task.)
sounds like im in my comfort zone when im home right?? of cos! home's still the best place to live in comfort and ease. But i guess hall is good in the sense its community living and i learn to be on my own.hehe yah..whatever it is, its at least another yr to stay in hall for me.
for now....i should treasure my time at home for these 3 mths!
ohana love.

2006-05-13T21:09:00.000+08:00

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
i lost my phone..yes my k750i!!!-thanks to some pickpocket.

gone are my photos..geez.thankfully, i saved all that on my com. but hey..there goes my 2.0 mega pix camera phone.
whats more..gone are my contacts which i have constantly updated since secondary sch days!!
gone are all the wonderful functions of this phone. the best i ever had.
CRIES!
It has long became a part of me. i like that phone so so much! I love the stuff and memories in it even more. damn u pickpocket!!
uve brought massive,unnecessary inconvenience,trouble and fustration.
okay i shant curse u or whatever cos im not as evil as you.
but u STOOP SO LOW. and ur misdeed speaks so much of u.
the next time you want something, earn ur way to get it..dont lay your unworthy, filty hands on what do not belong to you. you dont deserve it. and i repeat: it does not belong to you!!!!!!
and if u were once a pickpocket..or even a potential one..remember: what goes around, comes around. i repeat...WHAT GOES AROUND, COMES AROUND.
u wld need much more integrity than a million and one handphones uve probably stolen.
NOW GET A LIFE AND GOOD RIDDANCE TO YOU!

2006-05-12T14:41:00.000+08:00

a quiz from synnie's blog...
Get to know yourself better

Your view on yourself:You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:You prefer to get to know a person very well before deciding whether you will commit to the relationship.

The seriousness of your love:You are very serious about relationships and aren't interested in wasting time with people you don't really like. If you meet the right person, you will fall deeply and beautifully in love.

Your views on educationYou may not like to study but you have many practical ideas. You listen to your own instincts and tend to follow your heart, so you will probably end up with an unusual job.

The right job for you:You have plenty of dream jobs but have little chance of doing any of them if you don't focus on something in particular. You need to choose something and go for it to be happy and achieve success.

How do you view success:You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.

What are you most afraid of:You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear.

Who is your true self:You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

is it accurate???why dont you tell me!
its a really lazy friday afternoon...mmm

2006-05-10T21:26:00.000+08:00

A little boy was selling newspapers on the corner, the people were in & out of the cold.
The little boy was so cold that he wasn't trying to sell many papers.
He walked up to a policeman & said, "Mister, you wouldn't happen to know where a poor boy could find a warm place to sleep tonight would you?You see, I sleep in a box up around the corner there & down the alley & it's awful cold in there for tonight.Sure would be nice to have a warm place to stay."

The policeman looked down at the little boy & said, "You go down the street to that big white house & you knock on the door.
When they come out the door you just say John 3:16, & they will let you in."
So he did. He walked up the steps & knocked on the door, & a lady answered.
He looked up & said, "John 3:16."
The lady said, "Come on in, Son."
She took him in & she sat him down in a split bottom rocker in front of a great big old fireplace, & she went off.
The boy sat there for a while & thought to himself: John 3:16 ... I don't understand it, but it sure makes a cold boy warm.

Later she came back & asked him "Are you hungry?"
He said, "Well, just a little. I haven't eaten in a couple of days, & I guess I could stand a little bit of food."
The lady took him in the kitchen & sat him down to a table full of wonderful food. He ate & ate until he couldn't eat any more.
Then he thought to himself: John 3:16 ... Boy, I sure don't understand it but it sure makes a hungry boy full

She took him upstairs to a bathroom to a huge bathtub filled with warm water, & he sat there & soaked for a while.
As he soaked, he thought to himself: John 3:16...I sure don't understand it, but it sure makes a dirty boy clean.
You know, I've not had a bath, a real bath, in my whole life.
The only bath I ever had was when I stood in front of that big old fire hydrant as they flushed it out.
The lady came in & got him. She took him to a room, tucked him into a big old feather bed, pulled the covers up around his neck, kissed him goodnight & turned out the lights.
As he lay in the darkness & looked out the window at the snow coming down on that cold night, he thought to himself: John 3:16 ... I don't understand it but it sure makes a tired boy rested.

The next morning the lady came back up & took him down again to that same big table full of food.
After he ate, she took him back to that same big old split bottomrocker in front of the fireplace & picked up a big old Bible.
She sat down in front of him & looked into his young face & said, "Do you understand John 3:16?" she asked gently.
He replied, "No, Ma'am, I don't. The first time I ever heard it was last night when the policeman told me to use it."
She opened the Bible to John 3:16 & began to explain to him about Jesus.Right there, in front of that big old fireplace, he gave his heart & life to Jesus.
He sat there & thought: John 3:16 I don't understand it, but it sure makes a lost boy feel safe.

You know, I have to confess I don't understand it either, how God was willing to send His Son to die for me, & how Jesus would agree to do such a thing.
I don't understand the agony of the Father & every angel in heaven as they watched Jesus suffer & die. I don't understand the intense love for ME that kept Jesus on the cross till the end. I don't understand it, but it sure does make life worth living.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

i read this in one of my emails and hope it will bless u in one way or another:)

2006-05-10T12:10:00.000+08:00

both the BFs are away in Msia for some very interesting water sports..caving and water rafting..and yes, hot springs..
im so jealous!!!
HMPF! COME BACK SOON!!!
its okay. At least they will be back tomorrow. 6am muahah
cant wait for the redang trip next week!!! blue skies,soft sand,warm rays awaits..

dinner with man last night was gooooood. thanks for the superb company,really. :)

ahhhhhhhh sighsighsigh im so bored of bumming around..just hoping to clinch a job deal for some suntec 2weeks book fair. decent pay. 12 hrs a day for 2 weeks..and i realised, thats rather long hrs..but its good money i guess.

wenjie and wyman have been recording their voices over some mic which they played through msn..it freaked me out intially cos it was totally out of the blue..hahah but its really ridiculously funny, these 2 irritating boys. haha oh my i shall try to learn how to upload these media files and share it with the world. HA! they deserved to be humilated! HEE

so what happened to my lose fats, save money scheme? it didnt work in the end!!! in fact i had 2 big feasts in the past 2 days. im hitting the gym later.Nothing's going to be in the way:)

2006-05-07T23:25:00.000+08:00

i love running i love running!
im broke so ive decided to embark on the save money lose fats scheme!!
so tt means ill spend alot of time during the hols exercising(rather than shopping and splurging though occasionally would be good and healthy hee) so that will allow me to save money lose fats!!
so chant with me: save money lose fats! save money lose fats!!

2006-05-06T21:50:00.000+08:00

mm was talking to kahyee on msn and he had this pic of him and qy taken 2 yrs ago.they looked so young and happy... so we were just saying how time flies... its been 2 yrs since we graduated from the hwachong farm-ily..and that the girls are all going on to uni yr2 and the guys about to ord. How fast everything happens and ends so quickly we'll never have enough time to treasure something properly. i always thought school was such a mundane routine and wearing uniforms spells nothing but conformity and dullness. but i was wrong. i miss everything about school.
I wouldnt consider uni a school..school to me means fixed teachers, classmates, uniforms and breaks! haha but uni is none of all that. And my faculty is so freaking big that you see unfamiliar faces everyday and everywhere. hmm. Uni is just a learning place where one is forced to grow up,where one starts to experience the harsh real world out there. hah it always amuses me that it is in uni where the sight of muggers is the most prevalent. nope, not so obvious in jc. forget about secondary school. It is also in uni where there is an absence of teachers who force you to study and constantly remind you the importance of doing well in the exams. Why then do everyone study so hard in uni?! any undergrad would easily reply that question with the obvious reason of acheiving honours(actually..specifically a good honours). But that aside, i think its simply cos of peer pressure. Everyone is studying because everyone else is studying.. makes sense?? ah the influence of peer pressure is just so great...it overwhelms any other sort of influence.
whatever it is, i better enjoy my last 2-3 yrs of "school"...before i reallyyyy step into that real world. dont want to think of that now. should just treasure everything for now. ok nuff said.
so i met up with my fave jc buddies today-zes,kahyee,qy and arif. haha everyone is still more or less the same(of course with some changes)..ns didnt change these guys much haha.i miss these peeps very very much! And talking and meeting up with them really brings back fond memories of jc days...ahhhhhhh yes. it has been 2 yrs already!! we are j4s le! BLEH
yep yep anyway im contemplating changing my blog addie and domain...so this might be one of my last few entries here.....
might..

2006-05-05T21:52:00.000+08:00

oh my..
did so many things after exams ended..kept myself busy to the max..had so much fun too!!
cant remember all that i did...but there were several highlights..
haha
best friends bonding through sakaeing,swimming and shopping..met up with shan and becks for shopping and sushi tei(which by the way cost a bomb and really not worth the money..service was sucky too)..watched MI3(a good catch, brilliant effects and great plot..though some parts were deemed incredible maybe thats why its mission impossible huh. hee)..shopped damn alot(walked the entire city hall and orchard area)..went with hong for nybball reunion(well sorta)...went mambo at zouk with the hall peeps..cleared my entire room,packed everything,checked out and unpacked most stuff at home(tiring tiring!!)..walked even more with the bf...helped mum at her office(handling pri sch kids aint an easy task afterall)..gave tuition..had nicenice icecream indulgence at island cremery..took neoprints with ty(haha this is silly!! but it was so much fun and laughter:) ) ..caught up with my sleep(yesyes sleeping is a highlight now that exams are over)..
and so on and so forth...
rather fulfiling huh. and i spent invaluable time with some of my favourite peeps. thats what rocks even more..yay
much to look forward to :).
i shall go watch some vcds soon...
heeh im feeling trigger happy tonight and no prize for guessing why!
boooooo
off i go!

OH MYYYYYYYYYY!!!
im done with exams...like finally!!!
the terrible sem's over! and that puts an end to my first year in uni...now thats fast..hmm
the past few days have been unbearable..
have been cramming the whole sem's workload in my brains
been having headaches which were throbbing pain..
was suffering from insomnia..sleeping 2-3 hrs each day..
broke my studying record 2 days back by studying 14 hrs straight for my psych paper
never want to go through all that again!!
if every sem's like that, i'll just go mad!! now thats because ive been so inconsistent and skipping far too many lectures this sem that ive to face such consequences when the exams draw near.yup i learnt my lesson.. :(
im really not confident with my grades this time round..and i wont be surprised if i get my first C in uni...now thats bad. hmm
i was going for dinner with becks just now and i was thinking to myself what i should when i go back later..what should i study? then i realised. HEY MY EXAMS ARE OVER DAMMnit!
haha liberation for 3 mths!
3 free mths before i start next sem with a brand new attitude towards sch work *ting*
despite having horrible days of revising for the exams..i feel really blessed to feel God's presence with me, especially through the people who were concerned for me. It surprises me that everytime when i feel so distant from God, somehow one person or another will bring me back to Him. This exam period was no exception. My aunt called me everynight to check on me, assuring me that im in her prayers and that God's with me! Shes 70plus and she never fails to remember me and all the impt dates related to me in her daily life, amazing isnt it? My parents came all the way to nourish me with chicken soup, bird nest and grapes. And my mum called me one night and told me that they are praying for me. something new and nice to know:) oh yes think i looked really stressed the other night and just when i came back to my room..huien was at my door and asked to pray for me. so sweet isnt she? Then there was the darling who surprised me by telling me he prayed for me during my exams! Then there was shin who asked me to go for exam prayer sessions which i kept forgetting or was sleeping then..hee. but it was really nice of her too!... And of course not to forget dear friends like key who gave me a really nice exam welfare pack with things that came with meanings..joanne who sent me a parcel of tidbits to destress me! And my bestie who never fails to check on me. And buddies like synnie and becks with their well wishes.. nice!! so many prayers and blessings!! its good to take note of all these..such that when i look back in my old entries next time..theres something for me to smile at and remember :)
hee
for now..hols are here to stay. there are just so many things i want to do!! for all the people who have yet to end their exams...press on!!
And yes...God is Good! all the time!

2006-04-22T16:46:00.000+08:00

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhh!!!!!
:(

2006-04-15T23:44:00.000+08:00

did i mention how much i love my best friend??
everytime we talk..we are like lovers...always using all the love language..telling each other how much we love and miss each other..how we enjoy each other's company..
she never fails to make fun of me each time we hang out together..
today wasnt any exception..she was jus having a jolly good time teasing me and talking bout the good ol jc days...she never fails to laugh at my embarassing moments....yes, even when the events have passed for 2 yrs..
but at the end of the day..she showers me with all the love and sweetness of hers!!
as a best friend..she gives the best of advice..she encourages..she listens..
she never ever walk out on me..but always been there for me.
im really glad i spent today with her..she loves me alot!! but she says i have to love her even more!!
haha
yup. thanks for being the most genuine friend that i ever had
and to add..my most genuine buddy.
my loveliest bestfriend!
zesamine hui!!!
thanks for still being who ure and who ure to me even though i have neglected u for the past many mths...
really.

2006-04-11T09:04:00.000+08:00

2006-04-08T14:49:00.000+08:00

i came home from school feeling rather rotten..studied for my psych test but unfortunately i blanked out for it. when all the names of the psychologists and theories(some really warped..think:freud) come together...i just couldnt remember a single thing!!argggh!! And as usual..checking the paper never work for me...i always change the right answers wrongly!! i should have more confidence in myself huh. sigh. it doesnt help the fact that its negative marking. And there were 84 questions.. deep shit. :(
okay. so with this affecting me plus another disappointment with someone..i was totally down..and i just broke down when ty came back..hes always tolerating all my nonsense..my whines..my cries..my moodswings...really..appreciate it.
so yeah! the night turned for the better. after the carebear idea for rag conversation with synnie and several other blk c seniors over dinner, it jus got me totally excited!! but my idea just isnt gonna materialise right synnie???? ha!! its ok..ill continue dreaming abt it myself. HEE
as we borrowed a pickup for the collection of welfare pack items..we had a pickup to ourselves last night...so ty and i decided to call my fellow block d khakis out for a spin and supper!! haha so the 2 of us..together with synnie, shyla, luke, chui and steph went out !! realised that save for synnie, ty and myself..the rest of them are from different countries!! like east timor, canada, mauritius and KL..so its like a gd bonding time for all of us..haha!! we went to geylang for tauhuay, dumplings and beef hor fun! went to visit a few fruits stall too!! synnie went to steal a mango..haha silly. anywayy...we talked qte a bit..laughed a lot..and photowhored the whole time..After the great time spent at geylang(this sounds totally wrong)..we left for the esplanade for a walk...hehe i totally love last night!! just hanging around with great company..taking a spin with blasting music..totally relaxing and putting studies aside.
we got back around 5am...and slept all the way till noon haha..then ty...synnie and i left for coro to lunch..haha silly. hee it was raining so heavily just now..with ty driving and synnie sitting at the back of us, the 2 silly guys were singing happily..haha i dont know but it just felt sooo nice listening to them sing..haha! i think their voices complement each other really well! surprisingly! harharhar shhhhhhhhhhh
so they jus sent me home..and im back! miss my parents. and of course my dearest kor who's far far away.....mmmm
anyway i really dread the exams and the preparation part this time round. just have to be prepared for the worst..and learn a painful lesson this sem. -of being too caught up with so many commitments and skipping lectures like nobody's business...
perhaps i should just quit procrastinating and get some work done..like now!! ok im off...
2 more weeks to exams!!

2006-04-05T23:02:00.000+08:00

MMMMM
im at the reading room now...supposed to be studying psych but im jus lazing around..for now
hee..
everyone's muggingg and its so quiet..
maybe i should break the silence with my roar
hehe
i really cant wait for the exams to be over...
3 months of hols..how tempting is that. YUM
theres so much that i want to do!!
anyway synnie just finished his exams today..haha whatever!! as much as i envy him..i realised he has to study many more yrs than the rest of us
hehe!

thanks to this lovely sweeeetie for some very pretty yummy sweeets!

im about to die of diabetes from u 2 ah.
anyway..im off!

2006-04-02T18:26:00.000+08:00

what a cool sunday
teehee
went to brmc w my mum and ty..
the special chinese service today was greatt
some previous drug addicts came to share their testimonies.
they went through a seriously rough patch in their lives..with most of them being jailed up to 20plus yrs and being trapped in darkness all those yrs
if u think it was that extreme..it really was.
then they shared how jesus change their lives. at the lowest point of their lives- when they were unwanted by both families and friends..even their closest kin chased them out of home. they were labelled useless by the society..they basically had no one to turn to. till they were approached and blessed by the gospel.
anyway there was this drug-addict-turned-pastor who showed us his previous photos..when he had hair beyond his shoulders..and so he said hes no longer simon long hair(which everyone previously used to address him)he said his mum commented he turned from "laogao" to "yandao"haha silly but yeah..he really look so much more decent now.
of course..all their live stories differ but yet there's one common pt in all of em. they were all touched and truely embraced by the love of God. and that set them free. that gave them acceptance.that gave them hope.that gave them life. that gave them a new tommorow.
"therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation;the old has gone, the new has come!"-2 corinthians 5:17
truely, isnt it? most evident through such testimonies.
but of course, like what the pastor mentioned, we are all not drug addicts and hence would not have gone through what they did to experience God's love. Still, every bit of our lives have traces of sin...big or small,they still exist within us-be it in our actions or speech. haha so it hit upon me that we may not be drug addicts but we are sin addicts!! but yeah..like them, we can learn to repent for the better..amen?
yup. a little sharing there.
haha gonna have dinner before i start on my psych revision..another test this fri.
what really annoys me is that i studied one chapt last week..only to realise that the lecturers have changed another topic for that in this course. growLLS~~
nevermind.
another busy week ahead. im so looking forward to the end of this sem..
dont really like the academic part and detest the stress level of sem2
hmmm

2006-03-28T16:20:00.000+08:00

yesterday night was so much fun!
finally a break from all the readings..term papers..yadayada...
we went to west coast park..relived much childhood memories there..but of course the playground there is much more challenging! 2 good hrs trying out the different segments of the playgrd....screamed and laughed so much..its like releasing all the fustration that was bottled up in me when i did the term paper..
:) thank you kiddy company:p though ure so much older than me(heh heh 3 yrs)but i felt we just like kids last night..haha wheee
okay we may be old but we are young at heart..
so cliche.
but still..yayness to that!
so yeah..i thought it was goin to be a brand new day of being a good student..but guess what i missed another lecture this morn..sigh. the temptations of skipping lectures with webcasts..
*ROARRRRRRRRR*
yup and so i only went for one tutorial today.
and left school to to find mum and dad after that...bought lunch to eat with them..
happiness!!!
i miss them so much. havent been home for 2 weekends..
and for the coming week too.

2006-03-20T17:02:00.000+08:00

It has been so tiring the past 3 days!!!
been in UCC from early morning till 10pm everyday for productions.
so tonight marked the end of TH productions 05/06- a likely story.
GOOD JOB peeps!!!
everything went well..i think the cast performed really well!! not forgetting the backstage people who worked damn hard .. and of course, the planning com who worked doubly hard!
haha though the 3 days have been rather tiring..i enjoyed myself!! haha
when it got qte boring(when there is nothing to do)..key and i kept ourselves occupied by entertaining and being entertained by the sets guys..hahah.bunch of fun loving and funny guys..
and ya..ill miss the ride back to hall by the lorry!! i love such open-air rides!!
so down with productions...and guess what..i have a term paper to hand in by monday...no word limit which means expectations are set around 10 pages..and i havent done any research!!! die.
and im feeling really tired now. ROARRRRRRR
By hook or by crook, i better get down to work after bathing..
anyway..some of my hall neighbours from mauritius and canada appeared at my doorstep just now and i was totally shocked when i saw them!! all their bodies were filled with pink and red and maroon and orangey colours from head to toes..they looked so bloody!! and they told me that they went for some cow sacrifice ceremony where they had to drink cow's blood..or use it to splash all over themselves..they said the blood's gd for rejuvenation and all...next, they wanted to do a cult prayer for me and i felt so intimidated by them..but i rejected them immediately. BUT guess what, they tricked me!! cant believe i totally buy into it.hahah they were how convincing!! haha anyway shyla just rolled onto the floor laughing before the 3 of them start to target another victim.. hahah
silly neighbours!! but i feel even more silly now:(
heh whatever
many photos taken today..but i shall upload them another time..
yepyep off to bathe...byeeeeeee

2006-03-09T15:54:00.000+08:00

psych tutorial was rather interesting today ..set up acquisition, extinction and spontaneous recovery trials on the virtual rat and tested for it's conditioned fear..
kinda cool..but here comes the most dreadful part..lab report!!! which is due in 2.5 weeks time..ahhhhhh..
i enjoy my socio module this sem..sociology of family...it makes me think deeper into family issues..the policing of ideologies..dynamic changes in family structures over the years..the relevance of traditional family ideology in our society today...how and why this and that family runs in such a way..yadayadayada..things that you might never sit down and think through it...mmm i like!
so ive decided to do my term paper on fatherhood..hopefully ill get enough info from the lib link..
mmmm
i jus keep talking abt sch work..boring isnt it..but yeah..thats jus life for now..
gonna head down to cheerobics finals later..go nus! alpha verve! go ty!
hope they'll perform!
but ya on the other hand............... im quite sad that i cant go for hall's dance productions later..sighh.they will be performing at mos and im sure they will put up a good show after many practices...just a pity i have to miss it:(
okay nevermind..someone has to make up for it!! that someone!! muahah
nahh. :)

Econs and i dont go.
how disappointing....................................
Maybe God's telling me something.
mmmm.
this is a sem gone wrong.
a sem gone wrong it really is.
im depressed.

2006-03-03T22:12:00.000+08:00

gosh ive so much on my mind im about to explode..like BOOOM.
really.
and i realised ive been having headaches everyday this week..this is not a good sign.

2006-03-03T11:30:00.000+08:00

okay haha i was reading my ivle workspace under econometrics..
and i came across something that the china lecturer put on the announcements section:

Midterm info
This is OPEN BOOK.
Bring (1) any textbook and (2) a calculater. Maybe something to eat if you want.

err okay..thats qte irrelevant..haha
anyway at least hes nice..he webcasts all his lectures so thumbs up for that.
yay

im stresssssssssssssssssssssed.

2006-03-02T17:12:00.000+08:00

adelineyap needs to buck up
cos she failed the first econs test of the yr..
she deserved it considering she only studied 2 chaps..
she did reasonably alright for her pysch test
anyhow econs grades are still more than depressing
but thats 20percent of the yr..
so theres still 80percent to work on..
so from today onwards..studies will be ranked higher on her piority list
no more suppers for me..no more slacking away doing nothing much..no more spending time on irrelevant stuff...no more playing a fool
BUCK UP..I WILL
this is truely a test of endurance..cos uni workload is crazy..you cover this much for lecture but whats left to cover on your own is even more...
readings pile up day after day..
i will work hard cos its only a month and a half left to exams..
after that..i can really enjoy hols...
so YEAH..mugging is the IN thing now.

2006-03-02T10:21:00.000+08:00

---

anyhow, ive been getting headaches recently..so they came all the way to hall to pass me chicken herbal soup!!
im really full now..especially after having that for dinner. and a super filling lunch
-BURPS-
i should get back to study econs..sigh!! i cant seem to get it GRRRRRRRRRRRRROWWWWWWWWWWLL

whatever it is...ill get through it.

2006-02-25T16:55:00.000+08:00

2006-02-25T16:40:00.000+08:00

sometimes...sometimes....kids ask the toughest questions you can ever imagine.
just like today. my pri 6 tuition kid bombarded me with all sorts of questions that left me dumbfounded on the spot..
okay but at least i managed to enlighten him with some answers.wahaha
wish synnie was there so he being the brainy one can help me answer all the kid's doubts..
muahaha.
SYNNIE!!
oh wells. but i think im improving as a tuition teacher...

but all is good.
tmr im gonna witness venetia's baptism..God's amazing isnt it? i vividly remember a few yrs back...that very afternoon when hong, ven and i sat at the bball court in ny talking..then hong and i started spreading the gospel to her..she was rather receptive towards it and sorta accepted God into her lives..though a pity her parents didnt let her to church. Few yrs later-this very yr..shes gonna get baptised..I didnt really follow up with her during jc times(cos we are from diff jcs and we seldom meet) and uni(i havent seen her yet)..but God works in His ways -bringing diff people in her life at diff times such that she's still guided towards Him..really happy for her. so i cant wait to see her tmr! and of cos..to witness this very special day of hers.
yay!
been pigging out a lot this week.regular meals,suppers and snacking. been supper-ing especially after supper stall has come to TH..haha just that night ty and i feasted on cheesy fries..nuggets..chicken naan..and cheese omelette for supper..gosh and we ve been feeding ourselves with lots of sweeet sinful stuff..so yeah we ve got to work out soon!!!!!! yeah baby? yeah!
