CLOSING DOWN TAINTEDDXSKYE! :O

Till then, stay tuned, my little stalker friends. ;)

Halfway up

2009-04-06T15:15:00.003+08:00

After one whole week of being sick i now finally show some signs that i'm getting better.

Oh, thank God!

Swallowing one pill after another without getting any better was certainly not nice at all. Especially if they are hugeee! And hence that would require more water to swallow with and that makes a bloated, uncomfortable stomach.

Sheeeeesh.

And have you noticed the date?

Its April 6 already! My goodness now i know how fast times flies.

Soon, i'll be starting school (Yes, at lasttttt!!!!)

But hmmmm, first it was long awaited.

Now with the date drawing closer and closer i'm actually getting more nervous.

How funny eh?

Maybe because its the thought that i haven't got any familiar people with me, going into the same course.

No familiar people = Scary faces

*inserts cue for some haunted-house-sounding music*

*maybe add some maniacal laughter at the background too*

Oh you know, nowadays i've no appetite for food. For someone who lives to eat... Shocking not?!?!

But hmm, i think i'm craving for some sushi. KSBBBB pwease!!!! T__T

And hmm, maybe some B&J too?!

Gonna make a new layout later on.

Imma go look for inspiration now.

Ta ta, all of you!

Getting better

2009-04-02T15:42:00.003+08:00

Yesterday i was in bed for the entire day.

If i said the feeling was terrible, it would merely be an understatement.

Getting much better today (at least i've the energy to pull myself outta bed)

Hopefully all recovered by tomorrow.

Fingers crossed.

SYF AFTERMATH!!

2009-03-31T10:35:00.004+08:00

The aftermath, of going into day 1 of SYF and listening to the same set piece (Overture No. 1) played over & over again is this. This being, falling sick and wanting to vomit. I'd say at least 10 times i've heard it. 10!!

Like, why can't they choose Overture No. 2?!?!?!

Gosh, when the schools were playing that, inside i'm like, play that again and i can really vomit. Imagine after this judging, how much contempt they'd have for this piece (when its not played properly, duh)

It wasn't so bad when i heard familiar pieces.

Lets move on to the REAL aftermath.

But i think i've caught a cold.

.. After being exposed to cold air-conditioning of the hall, and bus.

And i was even wearing a jacket the entire day! -.-

Everyone in my house calls my sickness 'Masuk angin'

And er, literal translation = wind entering body.

And the cure to that, Indonesian style, would be 'kerokan' (which is to take a coin, rub an oil down your bare back UNTIL the skin turns red) And yes, thats how my back's looking like right now.

My gosh! Haven't had this kinda treatment in ages.

Its really really painful!!!!!!

(I kept whining and wincing when mum helped me to do that)

But hey! I think this is one of the better pain remedies, compared to having jabs.

Now i'm feeling much better i guess?

But still pretty weak.

Gotta wait awhile more before i can sleep, y'knw, digest breakfast first?

Other than that, the aftermath's much worst than just a mild cold.

I've got a really bad sore throat (appearing outta nowhere)

And now, stomach cramps. Yes, its THAT time of the month again.

GOSHHHHH, the magnitude of me being sick is getting larger.

Sigh.

***

Looking on a bright side, RWS' clinched a Gold yesterday at SYF!

I almost cried when watching their performance, and cried when they got the Gold.

After 3 SYFs of silver.

Finally.

Looks like its a new beginning for RWS.

The future's looking great for them!

***

Now i'm going to sleep, to rest.

I'll be well soon, i know it!

Its you that clears the day

2009-03-29T21:57:00.003+08:00

I'd better stop my bad habit of sleeping past midnight.

This week's going to be tough. In terms of waking up super early that is. Starting tomorrow!

Gonna go down to Singapore Conference Hall (SCH) in the early morning to go watch the bands perform. Oh, SYF starts tomorrow, for your information.

And regent's gonna be playing at 4.15pm tomorrow.

I bet they're all part excited yet nervous.

I think i can still remember the feeling of being on that stage.

Not that scary, especially when you've played the songs for hundreds of times.

It all comes down to the concentration part i guess?

I still remember i wrote down my EXACT feelings on SYF day on this piece of foolscap paper.

Wonder where'd i put it. Hmmmmm :/

***

And starting tomorrow for a whole week. I've a new personal challenge.

& its really (very) challenging!!!!!!!

But i will do it, right to the end.

7 days, how hard can that actually be?

I'll last.

***

Okay, if i really want to wake up in time for tomorrow i think i should be getting off right now and jump into the bed.

& oh! Good luck, RWS!

P for Phenomenon

2009-03-28T11:01:00.003+08:00

Strange things have been happening recently.

I keep on having bouts of déjà vu

Once isn't a big deal.

Twice could be just a coincidence.

Thrice? Now that's something.

You can't help but to wonder..

2009-03-27T11:55:00.003+08:00

I think i feel satisfied now. Hah. Watched the movies i wanted to catch already over the past 2 days.

Departures is indeed a good show. But somehow i think in the middle it gets boring (maybe a little too lengthy?) Still, i was there just sitting down in the theatres, most of the time expressionless, trying to think. This show's got depth.

And yesterday, went to catch up with a few friends from pj. Just hann, mats and wm. They've finished their tests so.. It does call for a little relaxation. Hah. Went to watch Confessions of a shopaholic.

This show's not bad either. I think the plot's a little too predictable? Its the typical girl lies to boy, boy leaves her, and then at the end everyone's back together kind of thing. Other than that, you should see the animation of the mannequins. I love that one.

Movies aside, i went through a state of shock and chantings of 'omg omg omg omgs' inside my head. Reflex action? Panic! Then walk away as if nothing happened.

You can't help but wonder..

Is the phrase 'its a small world' supposed to be a good or bad thing?

And is the world really THAT small?

And how is that possible, when the area of it is 149,000,000 km²

I wonder....

Maybe it isn't THAT bad after all?

I haven't put much thought into it and i wouldn't bother to.

I think the weather's beginning to echo the thoughts in my head.

Thought #100,000

2009-03-25T12:10:00.001+08:00

A new opportunity presents itself.

I wonder how'd i fare this time.

Time to do something, N.

Being random #1,452,419

2009-03-24T11:32:00.004+08:00

This morning i woke up to a loud 'BANGGGGGGGG!'

And it came from the winds that blew my door shut.

Since i woke up to a rainy day, i decided to laze around a little more.
(Its not everyday you can get to do that)

Since it was a rainy day, i stayed in the shower longer. 'twas cold. Brrr..

Okay, something random i thought of yesterday.

Q: What would you do if life gives you lemons?

I would.....

Make lemonade (without sugar, says edi)

Maybe throw it back at life

Or pass it to someone else.

What about swallowing it whole?

I like figures of speech.

***

Oh now i'm getting bored. Like, really bored.

I feel like going out to watch movies.
Hint: Departures/Confessions of a shopaholic/Mall cop.

And mumzy's trying to annoy me. She watched Departures yesterday. Without me! GRRR. Just now she even took her ticket stubs out and put it right in front of me!! How sad! :(

Usually i wouldn't like stepping outta the house when its raining.

Today's just unusual.

... Or am i just feeling abnormal?

Learning to breathe

2009-03-23T15:35:00.004+08:00

Watched street fighter yesterday with mummyoz and my gang of sistas, after shopping. Heh!

Actually we kids wanted to watch Mall cop but then mummy wasn't so keen so yeah, settled for that instead.

The show was............ judging by the amount of dots i put there... Maybe you can guess. Its kinda so-so. Neither here nor there. The fighting scenes. Gosh, too much slow-mos every single time they fight, its like i think i can see the string that they're hanging on to do the stunts. Hah! But at times it wasn't that bad either. In the middle of the show i was also left wondering... What's happening now? Its kinda confusing, too many changes of scenes, says edi.

Singapore's edmund chen was in it too. I found it weird when he spoke in english. Very singaporean-y. Hahahah.

Enough commenting about a movie when it isnt awesome.

I want to catch Departure!! (its a movie, btw.)

***

Yesterday was an eye opener. I feel peace and happiest when i'm at church. Its nice.

And dealing with the issues of the heart are hardest.

Especially when you're trying so hard to turn to a fresh new, clean, crisp sheet, yet you're forced to be stuck on the page with coffee stains and scribbles.

Sigh.

Its a brand new day

2009-03-21T11:58:00.008+08:00

I like what jon said yesterday.

Life is not the amount of breaths you take. Its the moments that takes your breath away.

And there i was left thinking. Hmmm.. How true. And the only one that has ever took my breath away is.. Well, God! Its true. So many times he's answered my prayers. I think my fingers wouldn't be enough to count. Someone! Lend me your fingers!! Hah.

I think i'm having too much of holidays. I've already done most of the things i want to do. All's left now is for school to start. I can't wait!! New challenges, new friends to make, a brand new everything! OHHHHH its very exciting, don't you agree?

Its like my one last chance to restart all over again. And i'm going to do well this time! Wouldn't want to waste a wonderful opportunity.

Sometimes i wonder what the future is like. What's going to be in store for me. Its kinda scary isn't it? With all this talk about recession hitting us as bad as the great depression.

Just mentioning depression is depressing enough. Using bleak to describe the future's even worst.

But here, it looks as if nothing's happening. Well at least, i'm still living pretty comfortably - Thank God for that! Or maybe i'm just oblivious to what's going on.

Oh well.... Forget about all that. I'm (still) staying positive!

My grandma's still cool (Y) She asked me to go shopping with her at orchard (how many grandmas still does that? hahhhaha) Because of the magic word. Are you thinking what i'm thinking? Its the word 'SALE' !!!!! HAHHAHA That'll also mean a shopping trip with mum'll be coming up soon. HEHHEHE! YAYYYY. Another reason to be happy about.

Speaking about my grandma being cool, i remember last sunday. Hah! My mother went out for church in the morning with a batik blouse. Then in the evening when my grandma also came back from her church she was also in a batik blouse. Lol and the thing is, i also almost wore my own batik blouse last sunday. And if that's the case, thats 3 generations of mother/daughter with batik blouses for you.

For the past one week i've also been sleeping past midnight. Keeping people like jes and mum company. (My mum likes sleeping late, while my dad doesn't) Total opposites! But sometimes i just don't feel like sleeping early. Its kinda nice staying up late. With everything all quiet. But kinda eerie sometimes :/

And by the way, before i forget, Happy birthday to Randy Zhang! :)

His birthdate is so nice. 3-21. Maybe thats why i remember. HAHHA opps! Forget i said that.

I just like the date.

Ranting season

2009-03-19T11:12:00.003+08:00

The title says it all.

This morning i woke up all whiney. Its not my usual thing to do but still, its because my whole body's aching and feeling all sour :(

'Cause of yesterday's badminton outing with the cell group!

HAHAHAH it was pretty fun!! :D

And i don't know why Fabian can play badminton just standing at one spot throughout while i had to run about so much. Is it just me or him?? Okay, i think its me -.-

Then another cause of the aches (especially my thighs and butt!) is maybe cos we all didn't warm up. In fact i think nobody warms up when playing badminton just for the fun of it.

Oh and i had quite a bad night too!

Its like, after badminton before BS at night we were all tired, so they bought redbull and i took 2 sips. That 2 sips kept me awake till 2 (when jes eventually finished doing her stuff which i kept her company throughout for the past few nights already) and thankfully i did fell asleep but then i keep on waking up every now and then! Irene also woke me up cos she came into the room in the middle of the night (or maybe 4am) opening up the cupboards but when i asked what time was it she just walked away! :(

And i pity jes and irene. I know they're aching too and yet they've got band camp today. Poor them...

That'd also mean i'll be lonely tonight... Awwww :(

Insert title here

2009-03-17T14:54:00.003+08:00

I'm really happy right now! HAHAHH. Tell you why. Its cos i've finally (yes finally) after i-don't-know-how-many-months-of-procrastinating, i've cleaned up my desk.

My desk which according to my maid and mother, looks like a "kapal pecah" and that means an airplane crash wreck.

Honestly, i'd wanted to do the cleaning up yesterday but procrastination won the battle yet again.

Not today! HAHHAHHAH.

I wonder how long before i'll turn it into dumping grounds again.

But of course, that isn't ideal. Gotta change, gotta change!

Oh. On the topic of procrastination. Lets have a look at jes. Cos last night she showed me this really long list of homework to be completed by the holidays. And i clearly remembered her telling me this morning, i'm going to use the com until 10am then do my homework.

Now.... After 5 hours.... Her butt is still on that chair, eyes transfixed on the computer screen.

So it looks like i've gotta keep her company again tonight. While she does her homework.
(Last night i stayed up with her till 1am)

Something random: I think i could vomit if i smelled popcorn. Maybe i go to the cinemas too much. HAHHHAH.

And finally, i see the sun coming out!

Macbook!

2009-03-14T16:46:00.002+08:00

Hello hello! As the title suggests, yes i've got my laptop! WOOHOOOOOOOO.

Its very very sexy!

And its costly i tell you! x_x

I'm still exploring around now... And i'm trying to get the hang of it.

See see! My first picture - with cessyozmyfavouritestdogintheworld!

And the awesome thing with this is that she(the dog) doesn't even know i'm taking a pic of her. 'Cause she's so camera shy. Just whip out a cam and she'll run away. HAHHAHHAHHAH

Anyway lately, i've suddenly got so many things to do. Which is a good thing really, as opposed to being bored and cooped up at home.

One of the things i've done was also to go down to suntec, for the IT show. Its madly packed! I really hate crowds (but not for church, its a different thing altogether) And its packed until you even have to queue up to go on the escalator. Madness!

I've also met new friends too. Hehehhehehe! Thats another good thing to add onto my list.

I'm going to call it God's blessing :)

There's tons of things too. But nahh, i won't mention them. Its all good things! Hahhahahhah.

I'll carry on with playing facebook! :P

Ciaociao!

ouch

2009-03-11T10:57:00.000+08:00

This hurts.

Salted pillows, i have.

2009-03-07T10:35:00.006+08:00

True enough, i managed to talk to someone about my situation last night that i only slept at around 2++?

So now the feeling i'm having is light-hearted.

The first thing that came to my mind to describe the lightness was like vomitting all the internal organs out and being all empty inside. Kinda icky. No, GORY! EWWWWWW i don't know why i even thought about that -.-

This morning i was actually still feeling hmm, sad?

Then suddenly, something came to my mind.

"Revenge is mine, says the Lord"

And i shuddered. Maybe revenge is too harsh a word for this? Maybe a lesson would suit better? I don't know. But i just know doing the same ol' thing would suffice. Which is, to swallow it and walk away.

When this happens it usually means i've to enlarge my capacity (for swallowing)

Its been going on for at least 2 years already.

When's it going to end?

***

On the brighter note, i've got a C for chinese. A Levels. C does really stand for chinese! HAHHHA Okay that was stupid.

Going back to pj and seeing hann and 08S11 and sec school friends made me happy. They've got good results too. So happy for them heh. I've got to catch up too. But the time isn't enough, that aisyah had to say: "You still owe me plenty of stories, nat!"

Which is true. And its good that the March hols are coming. So that = perfect timing to catch up.

So making a reference to my previous post, my heart was correct. I meant intuition.

I'm happy to get C. Its better than a D/E/U. & the most important thing! I did my best!! :)

&&& a big big thank you to gp, my chinese buddy for helping me out! I LOVE YOUUU! :D

And oh, even though its a C, i did get distinction for oral!!!!!!!

SHOCKING!!!!!!!!!

I was supposed to be better at writing than speaking.

Cause i sound funny when i speak in chinese.

Wait till you hear.

HAHHAHHAHHHHAH.

Just another moment stops

2009-03-05T17:55:00.004+08:00

Holla! Back this time with yet another movie review? Okay i don't think it counts as a review. But more of a personal opinion? Gosh, like who cares?

Anyhow, this movie's entitled Suspect X. And its a suspense sort of movie. Leaves me only guessing and guessing.. Until the end that is. The plot's pretty good too. But i think the ending's tragic. Definitely a movie you should catch.

Before the show starts, y'knw there's this segment where they show you trailers of upcoming movies, and just now, it showed another trailer of an upcoming jap movie. I think its 'Handsome Suit' or something*

*Note to self: Must watch! Must watch!

While on the subject on movies, there are others that i want to watch too (actually, everyone does) its none other than. Transformers! And i think the X-Men Wolverine one, too. I'll definitely set some time out to go catch it, even though i know i'd be crazy busy.

& tomorrow, i'll be going back to pj. To take the A level chinese results. I'm hoping for a B. In my heart, i think its a C/D. Idk, tomorrow, we'll see.

And suddenly.

I stop and think about my favourite men in the world.
(besides my dad/relatives/whatever.)

They're Ben & Jerry!

And J. Whom i'm texting now. And he's up in the list 'cause he's going to invent an ice cream for me, in my name.

(and it'd better be true)
HAHAHHAHAHHAHHAHAHHAHH!

***

Recently, i'm all emotionally messed up. Going through a pretty tough time. I can't think of who to share it with, i can't. God knows about it though. I'm just waiting for Him to send someone along the way. Perhaps someone i don't know? Or maybe someone i'm not expecting? Hmmmmmmmm.. So many voices in my head... Its giving me a headache.

The rain still pours...

2009-03-02T16:55:00.006+08:00

Yesterday's the same drill.

Had church in the morning, then lunch then yadahyadahhh..

We decided to watch Marley & Me :D

The show's pretty nice. I realised that there's no actual plot. It does mirror the way life is. Okayyy in short, i really like the show. Its heart-warming :)

Oh but wait till you hear the story before we got into the theatres! MY GOODNESS!!

(And i think imma switch to ranting mode now)

*makes click sound with fingers*

Okay. We went to Cathay and bought ourselves some tickets first. Then we still had around An hour and a half before the show starts.. And since Cathay has nothing we decided to go to Plaza Sing to get some cardstock (to make cards duhhh) and happily we were choosing some pretty nice designs (which took up alot of time)

And soo... just when we were about to leave........ We took a look outside and BEHOLDDDDDD!

It was raining heavily. Really heavily.

Like, OMGGGGGGGG?!?!

Forty minutes before, it was soo hot & sunny & hot & sunny.

We had only two umbrellas and five people. Yes, you do the math.

And the thing is, time was ticking tickticktick and the show's gonna start soon and the rain doesn't look like its going to stop, everr!

Sooo.. Two by two we went under the heavy downpour. I still had to go back to fetch edi so it was a double trip for me and that = getting doubly soaked.

Then after that we went to watch the movie. Thank God the movie was nice, or else it wouldn't be worth it having me (and the rest) getting wet!

They should:

1. Invent some umbrella that reaally shelters people from rain without them getting wet (at all)
2. Build more underpasses from the mrt to the malls in the vicinity. Like from Dhoby Ghaut to Cathay for example! Hah!

(End of rant)

For now, i'm looking for more inspiration. I suddenly have the urge to make manymanymany blog layouts! :)

And sighhh, its raining like nobody's business again! A-G-A-I-N! The thing i don't like is the thundering sound of lighting, or is it thunder? :/ Gahh, anyway it makes me jump ~~sometimes~~ most of the time, actually.

Since i've predicted. No not predict, it should be already known its gonna rain again, i made a wise choice to stay put at home.

While staying put, i even managed to binge on Ice cream! YAY For B&j's! I bought Turtle Soup and S'mores (FYI, those are the flavours) And turtle soup isn't turtle at all. I wonder why its even linked to turtle. Its vanilla with lots of caramel cashew bits and fudge and caramel swirls. Teeheehee. Its nice. I like!

And i think i shouldn't throw away the tubs. Keep a collection of them or something. Hahahhahaa. I want to try all of them!

I love B&J's WOOHOO! (Y)

Inspiration comes knocking

2009-02-28T15:19:00.002+08:00

What i've been up to today:

:D *beams* Pretty happy with how it turned out. And the inspiration came from my mickey mug which i drank milk out of right before doing this.

Actually i wanted to do something colourful, something with crayons. Cos seeing pretty colours makes me happy. But... I couldn't find a suitable picture so, its sad.

Still, i'm happy with the mickey one :D

Andd it took super longgggggggggg.. Just to look for the right vintage mickey image!

I think i'm going to code it out on monday and upload it onto blogskins.com

& I'm supposed to take a shower now and meet mumsie later on. Zeebo had piano lessons so she'll join us there.

Ciao!

2009-02-27T16:09:00.002+08:00

That above, is what i've been up to for almost an entire day today. Trial and error is alot of hard work! And troublesome.

Nevertheless, i'm still satisfied! :)

Its still pouring

2009-02-26T10:35:00.005+08:00

OHHHHHHHH MYYYY GOOODNESS ME.

Last night i stayed up. No, not partying or even watching teevee. Its watching two girls revise for their A maths common test the next day, today.

Until 2 plus i think, and i decided that i got really bored and tired and sleepy (unlike them hardcore maths revising enthusiasts) i went to sleep and waking up all groggy-eyed + dazed. HAH!

I've about < 2 months left of holidays to enjoy. In fact, i don't even remember when i started holidaying. Hahahhahhaha. Can't wait to start school actually. Mhmm, bring on the challenges and stress! And soon, i'll be complaining about how school's making me so busy and stressed and tired and and... Y'knw what i'm talking about.

But well, i figured i'm going to do what i really enjoy. Soooo.. I think i can manage. I know i'll be fine!

Oh! Mum's back from Jakarta too. YAY FOR A THOUSAND TRILLION TIMES! I'll be following her around alot i guess. And yes that is a good thing.

HMMMMMM, next week, i'm going to want to meet up with people i missssssss sooo much.

I've actually got tons of layouts to complete. And i'm starting with band's.

&&& on a random note. I need therapy. Retail therapy!!!!!!! :P

Ciao!

The sun's coming out soon

2009-02-24T12:10:00.006+08:00

FIRST OF ALL,

HAPPPYYYYYYYYY BIRTHDAY TO JONATHAN!!!!!!!! :D

& Yes, i'm on a movie marathon now. Watched soo many movies, in the cinemas and at home (TEEHEEHEEE)

I'll list them out for you, in no particular order.

1. Slumdog Millionaire
2. Pink Panther 2
3. Pink Panther 1
4. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
5. Memoirs of a Geisha
6. August Rush
7. Love Matters
8. The Duchess (Which i'm watching right now at this very moment)

HAHHAH ISN'T THAT ALOTTTT?!??!

Well i think the ones i liked best are Slumdog Millionare and Benjamin Button. Both are good films, i really like the storyline of both. Its a different kind of story which doesn't mirror the world we're in now i guess?

By the way, did you catch the Oscars yesterday?

I so so so so adore the Swarovski crystal curtain. ITS SO PRETTY!!!!!! And everything and everyone is all so glammed up. AHHHHH *daydreams* How i wish i could.......

And i realised, most of the awards were only centered around a couple of movies, namely Slumdog, Benjamin Button, Milk, and The Reader. Which makes me wonder.. Are those the only movies that were really THAT good? Why aren't there more of them?

Still, i think they deserved it. Especially Benjamin Button for visual effects. Oh, Brad Pitt just gets more decent looking as the movie goes along. With that visual effects thing, its now possible to see how he looks like with sagged skin and being really old. And no, he doesn't look good anymore. Everyone falls prey to old age eventually.

I spent a total 5 hours in front of the teevee yesterday morning to watch the Oscars and Amazing race. Hah.

And i'm still having cramps! D:

Now off i go to concentrate on the movie instead of the pain.

Tata~

Yesterday

2009-02-23T14:42:00.003+08:00

Yesterday..

I had one of the worst experiences (yet again)

Yesterday..

I also felt very blessed by the people around me.

Yesterday..

Something happened.

& it was "that time of the month" again.

Urghhhhhhhh irritating!

This is like, the 3rd time. And it ranks on par with what happened on my cruise in Bali (If ya'll have read you'd know what)

With my hands and legs being numb, unable to get up, and all i hear are voices.

But not to worry, i'm alright now. The pain has gone down from a scale of 8/10 to 1/10. So it isn't that bad anymore.

Still, i'd like to thank w446, especially Jon! For showering so much care and concern. Truly, i feel so so so happy deep down inside.

& i know the way to "repay". That'll be to do the same. And maybe who knows? One day, i might be a CGL. And one day, its my turn to do the same that he did to me to another :)

Contented

2009-02-18T09:49:00.010+08:00

Last sunday, everyone went separate ways after church. Irene with the church peeps, edi&jes with band peeps.. And leaving me with pops.

So i thought... Hmmm... Since its only pops and i, why don't we go for food-that-i-really-crave-for-but-can't-eat-cos-its-so-expensive (especially when there's 7 of us in total)

And then, its off to Kushin-Bo i went with pops. HEHHHEHEHHHE!
(In case you don't know, its a jap buffet)

Edi asked what i'm having for lunch. When i told her, her reply was "Wah biang eh!" HAHAHAHHAHHA! :P

This time round i didn't snap any pictures. I just ate & ate. My favourite part was when the tempura just came out steaming hot and i quickly got to it. MWAHHHAHAHA. Cos it always gets snapped up very fast the previous time i went. Lol!

& I figured, what's talking about food without pictures? AHHAHHA! So, here's to refresh. Show you what i ate. Even though its taken like last year, but still.. Its relavant :P

So here you go! :D

This, up here, is my favfavfav! No matter how much i've eaten, i'll always leave space for desserts. Desserts should always be eaten! HAHHAA.

Well, and then on sat, yes, the V day i spent at home, pops decided to take us all out for dinner. Went to Causeway. And saw sooo many people forming long queues outside restaurants. Then we had to settle for Crystal Jade (because that's the only one without a queue) & mmm, it was good :)

No, i'm not working already. Just slacking at home. Wondering when would be a good time to crash into Pj again. And when i could actually start school and start getting busy.

I miss hanisah! I miss yummers! I miss all of 08S11! :'(

Actually right now, i'm kinda "studying" when i help edi and jes with their homework. Its like getting a refresher on O levels stuff. The fun part comes when i see them rack their brains and i don't. MWAHAHAHHA. But sometimes, i do get it wrong too. Especially physics! Grrr physics.

The only two subjects i'm familiar with is chem & maths. Which, i'm more than glad to help them out with. HAHAAH.

Alrighty then, shall update another time. When i've found something i can share.

Ciaociao!

Thirteen on a friday

2009-02-13T11:33:00.010+08:00

Ohh look! Its friday the 13th. I'm not being superstitious okay! I believe that it is my lucky day! Wait, no, in fact, everyday's my lucky day!

What's friday the 13th without a black cat? ;)

Well now me, being bored and pretty awake (even though i got up at 5am) decided to go google 'friday the 13th'.

(Yes, i've just had lunch and i've got nothing better to do)

But i hope i'll get some interesting stuff outta wiki.

Friday the 13th is a superstition about a day of good or bad luck.
SEE! It can be good luck too!!

And the fear of this day is actually called paraskavedekatriaphobia.

With such a name, it gives you another reason to be afraid doesn't
it?

& oh, something interesting here.

It said, the superstition was also thought to be derived from the Last
Supper.

13 is significant to christians because it is the number of people who were
present at the Last Supper (Jesus and his 12 apostles) & Judas, the apostle
who betrayed Jesus, was the 13th member of the party to arrive.

And that having 13 people seated at the table will result in the death of
one of the diners.

Hmmm, would you believe that? But hey! That was pretty interesting wasn't it. Didn't know that it has connections with christian theology. Actually there was more. But this was among them. You can go look it up too :)

Oh yes, later on, i'm planning to go swimming! Want to get some orangey tan. HAHHAHHAHHA.

On a lighter note, its Vday tomorrow! I've got plans.... Plans to stay at home. Hah!

Well, i shall now continue reading on the friday the 13th stuff.

Ciao :)

When the sun seems dark

2009-02-10T14:35:00.012+08:00

Some pictures to post up to break away from the mundane-ness.

This was to celebrate edi's birthday @ din tai fung

Then last sunday, last CNY party.

So cuteeeeee! (I meant the boy)

And ohhhhhhhhh. These below. That guy failed in getting me to stand up. Hahhahhaha.

I'm very shy (*'-'*)

***

Now, i'm still figuring things out.

In the whirlwind

2009-02-09T17:17:00.003+08:00

I'm in a situation's kinda crazy right now.

I have lots to think about. SHEESH!

& the thing is, i can't tell anyone.

Urghhhhh.

LOOK!

2009-02-01T21:54:00.004+08:00

OMG look what i've got :D
*winkwinknudgenudge

Well, been pretty busy lately. Lots of gatherings to go to with parents. Or is it parties? Ah well, its the same.

I'm still happy about the poly thing. VERY VEEEERRRY EXCITED! :D

I'll update soon alright, very tired now. Long story to share.

Maybe tomorrow or something. So come back! :)

Sugar rushhhhhhhh

2009-01-30T07:07:00.002+08:00

Last night i woke up at 3, and i couldn't sleep. Maybe its because of the results.

So i stayed awake till 6..

Then behold, 6.21am. The phone vibrates beside my pillow.

Jes says: Jie, look at what you got.

I looked.

OMG its really the text, i hesitated, then i opened it.

Read it twice.

Then, i jumped outta the bed, shrieking happily and told everyone i could tell.

HAHHAHHAHHAHA.

For the record, i got into Ngee Ann, Advertising & Public relations :)

Think, change.

2009-01-29T17:34:00.005+08:00

That above, was what i was reading yesterday.

Picked it up by "accident", edi left it in the bag which i happened to use yesterday. So, having nothing to do on the train, i took it out to read.

Mannn! So many things i can quote from this book, so many things left me just reading the sentences over and over again.

"So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half asleep, even when they are busy doing things they think are important. This is because they're chasing the wrong things. The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning."

When i read that, my mind started to wonder.. It tells me, "Uh oh! Nat, you're going in the wrong direction, turn back, turn back!"

This was not the only thing. There's so much more.

Maybe it wasn't by chance that i got to read it? Hmm.. God knows. He does.

***

AND TOMORROW!!!!!!!

30 JAN. The posting results'll be out! Heart's not thumping at all. Not a single bit worried :)

I'll just cross my fingers and whatever there is for me to cross except my eyes.

You figure that out.

For tonight, i'm hitting the books. Reading another one by the same author.

Then i'll be writing out my favourite quotes, lets end with one.

"If you really want it, then you'll make your dream happen."

CNY Day uno.

2009-01-26T20:40:00.015+08:00

HELLO :D Today i went visiting relatives. And and and and i got alot of kachings. A whole pile of them, and i can even bathe in it (Okay, i'm over exaggerating, but still.. its alot hehhehe)

Alright, pictures pictures. I'm in purple. I like purple now.

And then... We dragged the (fat) queen dog in!

Then..... We accessorized her with good fortune. I mean, whats a queen without riches?

Now how cute is that? :D

Thanks to my rich dog i'm going to have a prosperous year!

Oh yes.

Advert

Prosperous Cessy is up for rent at only $10,716,819.99!!

(I told you i'd be prosperous... Once you rent her!!!)

*End of advert*

Back to reality, i'm still going visiting tomorrow. Hehehhehhe. And fetch jes from the airport too, she's coming back from indo.

Alright, once again, happy new year! :D

Eve of everything

2009-01-25T11:32:00.019+08:00

Yesterday we had our reunion lunch at some restaurant in chinatown. Hmm the food was okay. Not that bad but also not that awesomez.

1 cousin missing. He doesn't want to join us. He's shy.

K now, this one's CUTE.

The next one's even better.

HEEHEEHEE KAWAII NEH~!

By the way, thats my little cousin ryan ;D

***

Then off we went to Sentosa for some flower fest. (We had extra time to spare before going to church at 5.30)

At first i expected it to be really really flowery and extravagant. But! But! It turned out to be just tons of flowerbeds. Yes its pretty, but i think it could've been better.

And walking around in sentosa in a pretty dress under the hot sun isn't that nice. Its hot. Plus edi's also in heels and she was complaining all the way.

Pitcher plants and a wannabe.

Irene and her sexy eyes.

Tonight we're gonna be having Shabu-shabu at home. We spent like, close to 100 bucks for the beef alone. HAHHAHHA. Its going to be yummy :D

& Oh before i forget, happy chinese new year ya'll :)

Drama crazy

2009-01-20T19:59:00.003+08:00

Thanks to one dear dear friend of mine, i'm addicted to jap dramas once again. The storyline? Wealthy daughter of a hotel chain mogul meets poor widowed father of three. Pretty interesting i say. I like-e! Its like a jap version of paris hilton. Hah. But this one's pretty :)

Well, work's starting to become less boring for me. (Thanks to some sudoku, hah, i know)

Now i'm going to continue watching.

Tooodles~

Reflections in the mirror

2009-01-17T19:43:00.004+08:00

Okay sometimes, i like to take time out reflecting. Wait, i think i only do that when i'm really really affected by things happening around me, or to me?

Yesterday. Cg. Three Cs. Left me doing some really deep thinking with what jon said.

Honestly, i think i'm a little hesistant to step forward. Maybe its because its totally new, nothing seems predictable already, like it used to be. Nonetheless, i'll still try. Because i'll never know. Because everything's going to turn out okay.

I don't know whats in store for me this year. I know it'll definitely be better than the previous. Somehow i've got this feeling that i'm going to walk through so many deep, dark valleys. But that doesn't mean its bad. It only means i'm gonna learn how to find my way out. Find the light, with His help, He's always with me, this is for sure :)

And at the end of this year, i will be able to say, 2009's the best year. Breakthrough!

So many things i want to change. I'm starting with me.

And i JUST, found out that making everyone happy is hard :(((((

Oh yes, i've been working for 3 days already now. OMG Its boring me to death!1!!!11!! No wonder the pay's good. But i can endure. I'm thinking in terms of opportunity cost. (Hah, econs is drilled into me) If i don't work, i stay at home and slack, but thats not going to bring any moolah in. On the other hand, i work, get bored, i still can earn a decent 1k/month. Soooooooo.. I've to endure.

***

I've also talked to a few, nono, its alot of pj friends. I miss ya'll too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :(

Seems like they're all getting stressed up. A levels this year. So yeah. & talking to them, i can feel the stress aura streaming out of them too. Ohmygoodness. And i think, if it was me, i think i'd be going beserk already. (By the way, its only the first week of school)

Ya'll do your best k! If you guys need someone to talk to then i'll be here :)

Mmmm, gonna have reunion dinner tomorrow. Yes, pretty early right. I know! And next saturday i'm going to have another one too. Don't ask why. Its just like that for me :/

Fingers crossed*

2009-01-14T21:14:00.003+08:00

"Your JAE registration has been submitted successfully."

I have been doing tons of pondering and rearranging of my 11 choices. (My first was fixed)

So there you have it. I've submitted. All i've to do now is wait and cross my fingers and legs and whatever i can cross now. HAHAHHAH.

Oh yes, i've already started working too, with effect today. Did telemarketing. Just loads and loads of calling people up. Piece of cake! & The pay's good too, its $7.50/hour. So far no bad experiences yet. SO FAR!

But its a 9.30-5.30 job on weekdays. So its all gone now, my weekdays. But i think it beats staying at home all day long and just using the computer till i get really bored. At least i'm earning something which i will be able to spend in time to come. WOO i can't wait for payday! (& its only my first day of working, hah)

Alright, now i shall go about randomly surfing the net. And go facebooking. HAHAHA.

G'night ya'll :D

What if?

2009-01-11T19:38:00.006+08:00

What if i hadn't withdrawn from PJ?

What if i had school tomorrow?

HAHHAHHAHAHHAHHHA. Thats what IF! But apparently not! I thank God it isn't.

If i had school tomorrow, it would be a total bummer. I'd have to wake up super early, which WAS my good habit. I repeat, WAS. & now with the long holiday break, i've been sleeping really late, waking up equally late, so all my good habits has gone out of the window. *pooooooooof*

I've just went around some classmates' blogs and told them to have fun at school. (Which i know its impossible knowing that the school happens to be PJ) MWAHHAHHAHAH. Very bad, i know. But, i can't help it, its been long since i've gone around mass disturbing people :P

MMkay, today's a pretty good day i say. The weather's good. Gelare waffles after lunch was good, but Church was even better.

I learnt something in a perspective i didn't know. Something that has to do with everyday. Something very very important. Which is honor.

Anyway tomorrow i can already start applying for poly. Like finally, i say! & To all those that are receiving their results tomorrow, good luck! I know your hearts will be palpitating. But relax, ya'll will surely do well ;)

Now i shall go about enjoying the night, like every other night, ciao ciao :D

TOKIDOKI!

2009-01-10T17:38:00.002+08:00

Hello hello! Do you see a new layout here?
(Well duh, if you don't, dig your eyeballs out please)

Isn't it pretty? *beams* I like, er no, love it very much! :)

I'm actually done with sourcing out for the courses and found out the cut-off-points already. Now all i've got to do is the even harder part. Its the placement of these courses. One wrong move and i'll end up like last year. Being put in a place i don't like. Sheeeesh. I won't make the same mistake again!

Alright, my half a day was gone due to this layout. I think i can even stare at it the whole day.

Once i'm done with it (Which i might not be) Then i'll put it up on blogskins.com for others to enjoy hehhehheh :D

Okay, i'll be off to stare and admire the layout now, maybe you should too :DD

I decide

2009-01-10T11:30:00.009+08:00

Making my first choice was easy. Just like snapping your fingers cause when i first saw it i made up my mind just like that. Mind you, that was like in june last year. So its 6 months dreaming of the same thing already.

Then came the next 11! ELEVEN.

The "what-if-i-can't-get-into-the-previous-choices" or you can say its more of back-up plans.

I already went for NYP, NP and even SP's open houses. All were to just take brochures and more of looking for friends and do some catching up :)

Well actually, i think i'm supposed to make the decisions much faster? Because my choices are limited to Business/Media. Now i've actually narrowed it down to choosing from NP/SP.

And then after that, it seems that my choices are pretty limited.

Oh dear. Its sucha headache?

Actually i think i need not worry too much.

Because i was browsing through my phone on thurs in the middle of the night. Why in the middle of the night i'll explain later. Hah.

& i saw this. In my "notes" page.

"Faith is calling things that are not as though they
were."

Ahh, a revelation! And in good time too. So now i know,
there's absolutely absolute, no way i have reason to worry or doubt.
'Cause i know, i'm already in! :D

So thursday, i was out for NYP's open house right, and i drank coffee. Then we all went out to town to do a little shopping, and chilling out at Starbucks. And i got myself a Latte, Now, that shouldn't be a big deal right?

NO! :(

At night, i was very very wide awake instead O_O So argh. How to describe? I don't know. Just argh! I ended up not sleeping at all. And even calling up someone in the middle of the night (I know, i'm bad.) Well, i got to disturb that someone. So yeah. Then after i-don't-know-how-many-rounds-of-solitare-on-my-hp, i started to feel sleepy. And so i slept at around 6? But got up at 8! My goodness! x_x

I'll never ever drink normal coffee again! Unless its decaf. I've learnt my lesson.

Oh yes, you know, when the birds started chirping at 4 i was so happy that morning's arrived =.= Hahahhah how random, i know.

I also watched the VS fashion show on tv that night. OMG the models they all look so gorgeous! Yes i really really mean gorgeous gorgeous! Hahhahah.

Now back to surfing the poly webbies for my other 11 choices. Boohoo :(

Feeling like felt

2009-01-07T13:03:00.010+08:00

For the past few days, i've been armed with needles, thread and lots of felt! :D

Poked myself a few times, thank goodness no bleeding occured. Hah.

Now let me show you the fruits of my labour!

*Drumroll please*

TADAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Here's my lil buddy with a new friend ;)

Arm's a lil bit retarded. This is my first try :D

Doesn't this guy remind you of the ever retarded Patrick Starrr, but in green? AHHAAH.

This pink ghostie's here my favourite so far. Its tokidoki inspired ;)

Tonight i'm going to do one more. Hehhehehhehhe. I'll need to improve my skills. Then if i can do really nice ones i can go sell it off. Hahahha.

For now i'm just surfing the net for more inspiration.

Then soon... I'll have one whole collection of plushieees.

KAWAII NEH~! :D

Open houses

2009-01-06T18:22:00.003+08:00

CAN SOMEONE ACCOMPANY ME TO THE NP OPEN HOUSE PLEASEEEE?

I'm already going for Nyp's one with Kar & Sh on thursday.

For SP, maybe not :/

O level results are going to be out next week, meaning i can go apply too. So i need to make 12 choices all over again.

The courses i'm choosing are most likely to be dominated by NP's so someone please please text me!

:D

Nine lives

2009-01-03T12:59:00.009+08:00

WOOOOO! Hello 2009, i hope you'll be good to me :)

Well, i've had my fair share of ups (and mostly downs) for 2008. So its no surprise i'm looking forward to 2009.

HAAHHAHA, k i've taken pictures of my favourite presents i've got last month :)

Really happy about them all, don't usually receive that much so yeah.

This one above's from ahemahemahem i-don't-know-who! :P I tell you, its very very very very huggable, unlike the person who gave it to me. Aiyooo i tell you, everywhere its fats hanging out! Opps. Did i just leak a secret? Mwahhahhhahahha!

And this lil buddy here, haven't got a name for it. But its cute rightttttt? Joel made it, pretty good sewing skills for a guy! :)

Okay that was just out of total randomness, but mostly its appreciation.

Yes Joel, i still remember you're one of my first friends, from that sec one orientation thingy. Riha was on my right, the last in line. And you were on my left, just slightly taller than me. I think they were getting us to line up according to height or something. HAHAHAH. Oh well, i'm happy that i still get to keep in touch :)

Oh yarr.. That lil guy up there has made me want to make little friends for him too. So edi and i went to buy lots of felt yesterday. She's made one bunny already. Nicely sewn. I'm going to try it on monday too, then i'll show ya'll :D

After that i'm going to sew lots and lots of it and give it away. Yes, give it to my special friend too ;)

Well, y'knw what? My mum's pretty hooked on that Channel 8 show. That Little Nyonya one. OMG man. Even i can't believe it. I mean, she's not usually attached to watching teevee. But once i started watching it on youtube to catch up, she wanted to watch too.

So.. When i went away for a chalet on 31 dec, she told me she stayed up the whole day all the way till 3am just to watch the bulk of it. W.O.W. Even i'm not THAT hooked. Lol.

Well, that show's taught me quite alot, it got me thinking.

Yesterday we went to catch a movie too, mum, edi& i at Plaza sing. Very impromptu, at first mum wanted to watch The Dutchess but its M18 so yarr... We had to settle for another one. So we got Seven Pounds.

And you know what's the irritating thing? OMG its like before the movie started they were showing us a full half an hour of adverts!!!! Very very irritating. Maybe they lost the movie or something thats why.

Anyway, its quite an emotional show. Not bad i say. But, for the first half of the show i couldn't grasp the gist of it so i got pretty bored. Until the next half when the plot's starting to reveal itself. Its that kind of a show that would want you to figure the story out itself. The ending's very sad though, i almost cried. Almost. Pity that i couldn't connect to what Will smith is actually thinking in the show.

***

Tonight i'm going to accompany pops for an annual gathering at his friend's place. At first only he's going alone. I think its sad for him to go alone so i'm coming along too :)

Now i'm going to continue catching up with my so many shows.

Toodles~

どもありがと (Thankyouverymuch)

2008-12-30T10:13:00.009+08:00

2008 is coming to a close, and deep down inside, i'm relieved to know that its going to go away soon.

God; For such unconditional love. For not giving up on me. For the countless times i've fallen, You've never failed to pick me up. And for the comfort, especially in times like this.

You-know-who; 2nd on my list. Always the first i think about when i get up in and last when i get to bed. For the past 15 months or so you've been someone i could rely on, a shoulder i could cry on, a comforter, someone that made me smile, to look ahead, telling me things will get better, someone who always makes me laugh with the little silly jokes, someone that take cares of me, most of all, someone who really loves me.

Hann darl; You've been such a great friend, really. And i think i cannot thank you enough for helping me and being with me in pj. You're someone i can trust, to tell all my problems to, a listening ear. So many times you've made me laugh too. I know i'm a whole lot of nonsense and you're influenced too! Hahaha. Thank you for all your company, i'll really miss you.

Pw group aka Yummers!; Mats, Morg, Bee, WC, Py. At first, it was a rough start eh? But look at us now! We've grown pretty close. Just look at the two STs and you'll know. Thanks for all of your company too, and for once, being with all of you made me happy in pj. I'll definitely miss you guys too. For so much silly things we did, like playing in the playground, and the waterbomb thing for Morg's bday. And another thing would be how much fun we had with pw, its hard work, but you all made it fun. I know that i know, we will do well when the results are out in time to come. I'll come back to visit, i promise :)

***

While bathing, some thoughts suddenly came into my head. Like some light out of the vast darkness. Finally i've understood why i did that yesterday.

Yesterday, there was a faint tugging in my heart.

It said, Let go, just let it all go.

Now i understand. And now i shall try to get it out, to explain, to let things get unbottled.

I guess, when things are screwed up, all i want is a fresh start, to find another new, blank page of a book and start all over again. I don't want to fix things, wait, maybe, i've got no courage for that. So a fresh start's the best solution, a do-over.

That's what i've been doing from eons ago. And its the same when it comes to my jc/poly stuff.

Maybe you're right, right about me being too perfectionistic.

You're right about having to appreciate what we have, too.

I'm always hankering after things i don't have.

I told you, i need time.

It doesn't mean its entirely over.

I need time, to CHANGE, and mostly, to heal.

I need to let go of the past where i've been hurt.

"Don't curse it, don't nurse it, don't rehearse it, just RELEASE it"

A trip to remember

2008-12-29T11:38:00.071+08:00

OMG you have no idea how long i took to upload all these photos.

But yeah, its all that i have for my trip to Indo.

Lets continue with Bali, shall we?

Below, you can see the map of Bali. Kinda reminds you of Singapore eh? Okay. I've marked the map too. It tells of our destinations. Now let me explain.

The yellow spot is Denpasar, which is where we landed. Then, we had to travel all the way to the orange spot for the first hotel. My goodness! The journey was long. Yes really long. It took about 4 hours i think? x_x

The second day, we travelled all the way back to the green spot, right at the bottom. From one end to another. So its another 4++ hours gone. Pooof.

I know ya'll will ask, "Why travel all the way there just to stay only for a night?"

Well, its 'cause this hotel (Hotel Melka Excelsior) has got special things to see/experience. And no, its nothing supernatural. You'll see later on why.

Our room :D

Now here's the reason why we travelled all the way. Its for swimming with dolphins! :D

Its a pretty cool experience. & when i went in the pool i was really really scared cos they said the dolphins may bite. Okay that sounds weird. But yeah.

And the dolphin's body is actually quite slimy. Like jelly i think? Hahahhaa.

The guy was briefing us on how the dolphins would actually play with us.

What we had to do was to lie back on the water and let them go over you.

Irene looks like she's having fun!

Besides dolphins, they were also a whole lot of other wildlife. Which makes this like a hotel cum wildlife reserve. Hahhah. Okay. Check the next picture out. Its feeding time for the snake.

The way it staares! Omg scary isn't it?

Antelope!

& that was it at that hotel. We were on the road again to travel.

Both pictures below was what i forgot to include in the previous post.

And so, we're back on the road and we've arrived at our next hotel, Inna Putri Bali. This time, a five star one. Ooo that got all of us pretty excited.

What's more, there was a World Junior Wushu Championship going on in Bali so there were lots of Wushu people from around the world. Pity i didn't spot Singapore. But there were lots of good looking guys, especially the ones from South Korea :P

But there was a complication in our booking process. The hotel receptionist told us we could only stay for a night instead of the intended 2 nights cos it was fully booked the next day.

Honestly, i was pretty disappointed at first. But you know what, after we checked in and went into our room, beholdddd... It doesn't look five star-ish at all. Very overrated. And when we walked around the gardens, the lamps weren't even turned on. How nice.

I guess the five star rating is for the facilities. Cos they had a squash court, tennis court etc etc.

After that night, we decided to switch to another hotel instead of staying another night there.

Hotel reception

On the next day, we went for Rafting. Yes, the one in my previous post if you have been following. After we were done we had to travel back and we passed by this reptile park. So we decided to go in.

This park is poorly maintained. And very deserted. The waters were all infested with algae. Its kinda disgusting.

And the protection it offers is OMG. THE BEST I TELL YOU. You are only separated from the crocs with a thin wired fence (As you can see later on) and a small moat.

See how dirty it is?

Then while walking around... We stumbled upon some ducks in a cage. And we thought, hmm, it must be for the crocs to eat.

And, the next part. We (jes, james and i) wanted to buy a duck to feed the croc. Edi was like, "sheeesh, you all are sadistic"

Yeah i guess, but i really wanted to see how it actually goes and eat.

So in the end, we bought 2 ducks and threw it in the enclosure.

You see a croc, but can you spot the duck?

Allow me to zoom in for you.

There you go, this is the last second of the duck, alive.

(Credit goes to edi for photographing that. Really, its only a second or so that it got to swim before the croc emerged outta the waters)

In a split second, its gone.

God bless the two ducks we threw in.

We killed 2 ducks in exchange for feeding 2 hungry crocs. Some lucky crocs, and just 2 very unlucky ducks.

Okay okay, i know, i'm being wayyy too sadistic.

Here's the ironic part of the story.

We actually went to eat ducks right after we threw in two of them. Ya, i know, how very ironic.

Me, with a slice of black russian pie. The rum they put in was tasty.

Now for the ducks. Mmm-mm! Its really good.

This is the part where your mouth is supposed to water :P

While waiting for the duckies to be cooked, we went exploring into the padi fields behind the restaurant.

That pretty much concludes my happy part of my trip in Bali.

Because the next day, i happened to have my period,

AND IT DESTROYED THE REST OF MY TRIP! :((((((((

Really, its a sad sad sad thing because we're going on cruise and the activities in store included riding on a banana boat, going on a submarine boat thingy, snorkelling etc etc. Its all water related activities which i cannot play at all.

Sighhh.

But still, i went on board, thinking maybe i'll just watch them having fun. I mean, there's always a next time right?

Well no. There's another twist. Because i got sea-sick and started throwing up. Plus you know, it was coupled with the cramps in my stomach. So if you add them all up, you don't have to be a genius to know that it actually equals to some very bad sickness.

Its the crampsy-headachey-sea sicknessy illness i got.

So i was on board that ship all day just to lie down in pain.

Then only at night i started feeling better, after i-don't-know-how-many-pills-i've-eaten-just-to-get-better-and-not-well.

The day after that, my mum and grandma flew back to Jakarta first to attend to some wedding dinner while the rest of us still had 2 days left in Bali

Oh yes! I'll show you the hotel room that we stayed in for the rest of the 3 nights of the trip.

We stayed at the Bali Dynasty Resort and got ourselves a 3 kids suites to accomodate all of us. ZOMGGG its awesome. The best hotel i've been to so far, nevermind how many stars it has.

See? It has 1 King, 1 sofa bed and 1 bunk bed ( The one with Sponge Bob Square Pants) There's actually a partition in the room that separates the bunk bed from the king sized bed. & that little kids room actually has a playstation with games in it too.

How awesome is that?!

So when James went into the room he was really reaaaally happy about it. Until he was almost in hysterics. HAHHAHA.

And and, the teevee in it is clear and has got tons of channels, unlike that previous hotel. So having said that, you'll know that i've been staying up to watch lots of teevee. Hehehe.

That very afternoon, we were all supposed to be going to the water theme park. But since i couldn't get into the water at all, i decided to stay behind in the hotel. Y'knw, like chill out.. AND WATCH TEEVEEE. HAHHAHHAH. So it isn't that bad that i'm missing out on some fun.

That night and the last day was reserved for lots and lots of shopping around. WOOOO. I like retail therapy. HAHHAAA.

& the next day, we all bid goodbye to Bali. We'll be back in another 2-3 years i think. (The last time i went there was in '05)

***

Back to Jakarta it was for all of us.

& the day before we left for Singapore, we went for another trip. This time, a road trip to Bandung. Which was were i went last year for a couple of days.

The trip there was also a couple of hours. But ohhh, the fun thing about it was there's no speed limit on the highways of Jakarta so my uncle went at 140km/h at alot of times and it was very thrilling. Hahhahaha. Fun!

Then we went to eat at Sapu Lidi-Lembang. Very very nice place. Its also beside the padi fields and it has a nice atmosphere and concept to it.

Alll of us! YUM YUUUUM!!!! d("-")b Hehhehe.

Then, we drove around for more shoppingg! WOOOOHOOOO. Went to lots of boutiques. Bandung boasts a whole lot of them, its impossible to go to all in a day.

Below are two pictures taken at one of the boutiques we went to.

So all-in-all, that pretty much sums up my trip in Indonesia. Specifically, Jakarta, Bali and Bandung! :D

I'll tell you how much shopping we did. Jes, being the one that did the most. Hahha. I just bought a couple of shirts along with some bags.

When we went back at night to pack for our trip back the next day, we still had to hunt for extra bags to stuff our clothes that we just bought from Bandung. HAHHAH. Busy busy!

We came with about 3-4 luggages i think. And we left there with 10 luggages/boxes checked in!! HAHAHHAHAH. Ain't that awesome or what?

But that left us with around 2 hours of unpacking and putting it into our cupboards when we came back.

Okay i'm finally done. Y'knw, this post took me about 4 hours to upload/type. My goodness! But yeah, since i haven't been blogging that frequently i might as well do a mega one. Hahahha.

Next year end, we're aiming to go to Gold Coast/Phuket! ;)

Ba-lee

2008-12-26T11:59:00.005+08:00

Merry Christmas, everyone! (I know its late, but, whatever.)

Had tons of events leading up to xmas this year. Busy, but i had a whole lot of fun.

& Of course, what's Christmas without going to church to celebrate it? Hahahha, the drama they put up was awesome.

This particular christmas is different for me though. Its the same ol' one. Xmas i mean, but yeah something's just different, in a good way.

Well yesterday, like i said, i went to church, then we all went to eat, yadah yadaared and then we went off to go for Uncle Dudung's house for the xmas party we have every year.

This year's one is one of the best yet! We (us kids) were offered wine to taste. Haaaa. We can only do that in his house. Mmm, so we got to taste ice wine, sakae and red wine. I think i like the ice wine best, cause its sweeet :P

Well, i think mum drank quite alot too, her whole face was red. As red as the blouse she was wearing. I don't think she's drunk but yeah, like edi said, drunk people don't admit they're drunk.

Mmmm, and after that, we played Monopoly. Omg i hadn't played that in ages since i've given my set to James. But yes it was a whole lot of fun. Especially when Ryan's neighbour Jonathan came over to join us and then it became havoc. It was hard to concentrate with everyone laughing a whole lot.

We stayed till 12. HAHAHAH. I ended up sleeping at around 2. Wooo. I'm becoming more nocturnal rather than an early sleeper. The latter apparently flew outta my window.

& later we might be going over again. Bring on another round of monopoly! :P

But first, mum wants to catch a movie so we're all going to go :D

Oh yes, i did upload some pictures :)

This was taken at some park at the mountains in Bali. We passed by when we're on our 3 hour journey to our next hotel.

& yesss i've got something to tell ya'll. Did i mention my mother is a pro at taking jumpshot pics? OMGG its like, its a success everytime, only that we didn't respond well enough to jump at her count of 3. HAHHAHHA.

Failed.

Its James' first time at jumpshot. HAHHAHHA Funny. We all keep laughing when we try to mimic his pose up there, in the picture.

So yea, that would be it. I'll upload more another day, got a movie to catch right now (;

Toodles.

Rafting @ Bali

2008-12-23T14:31:00.018+08:00

& then we all went rafting while in Bali.

I'm telling you, it was AWESOMEZZ!

All getting ready to climb down a 500 steps staircase to the river

Its a long way down. Really.

And finally we've reached the river! Still very dry.

Then we rafted until a waterfall. And yes we were all soaking wet by then. Hahaha.

& look at our contented faces after 2 hours of rafting :D

:D :D It was my first time rafting. FUNNNNNN! I like-e! Hehehe. Next time we'll go for the whitewater rafting. I bet that'll be more thrilling than this normal river one.

But we were lucky that it rained while we were rafting.

(This way it makes the current go faster, and thus more thrilling)

Now i shall be off to bake choc chip cookies with edi&jes. They started without me! Hahhah. So i shall go, like, right now.

Heees, bye! :D

Picturesque

2008-12-23T12:07:00.024+08:00

17's sweeter than 16.

Its pictures from my birthday celebration at some restaurant's function room. It even has karaoke in it. Heh. & for this occasion i still had to specially dress up for it. So before going for it, i went to Parisian just to get a dress for it. I like the flowery patterns on it :)

(& i think i can hear ya'll going "Oh finally she's uploaded some pictures!")

HAHHAHAH. Yes, finally! So now its better than having a wordy post filled with my thoughts.

Happy looking :D

Kinda reminds you of an Ah-lianish pose eh? By the way, she's my cousin, cute!!! >_<

Oh yes, and now let me show you the food.

Look at the picture above, at the bottom right hand corner doesn't it look suspicious?

.

Lets have a closer look at it, shall we?

Now guess what this is. You'll be surprised as i am.

Its..... Pidgeon meat! :O Yes, i've tried it too and it tastes like duck. Lol.

Now for the karaoke part. Many people sang and yes it was quite funny and entertaining. Lol.

Then the cake-cutting at the end. Its a pink cake. Not a really big fan of pink when it comes to cakes, but yes its not bad actually.

Group pic! :)

My presents were some clothes and a mickey mouse soft toy. Heees. Its very cute. I'll show you someday. It has a really big head and a tiny body. Hahhahha.

I'll be uploading more soon, once i finish with my pamphlet design for an event. So yes. There's more to come, later in the afternoon :)

PS If you've noticed, that's the fringe i was having, and i think it looks a little weird, so i went to cut it again, now i'm with bangs! :D

BACK & ALIVE

2008-12-18T19:46:00.006+08:00

HELLO HELLO :D

Guess who's back?!??!? Hehehehheheh.

I'm actually kinda tired now. Touched down at around 2.30pm and the tired part came about whilst unpacking my luggages. Heh. Blame it on the tons of clothes we bought.

The first thing i did when i came back home was to hug CESSY my fat dog. I've missed her! :)

I can summarize my trip in three words.

AWESOMENESS, food & shopping!

I'll elaborate next week or something. For now i've already got so many things lined up. I've quite a number of bbqs to attend. I'm thinking of only going for 1, but i don't know.

I've also watched twilight already. In fact its last week. Earlier than all of you! Nyahnyah.

But honestly, its a little bit disappointing. Maybe its because i know the book VERY WELL and apparently the movie didn't really capture some moments.

Having said that, i still liked it. Cozzz the actors are handsomeee can?!? Teeheehee. I'm still watching it again though. Just to see them. The handsome actors, plus the leads :)

I'm going to go rest now, update ya'll soon k ;)

Partayyyy like a rockstar

2008-12-06T14:07:00.004+08:00

All geared up! :)

@ Fish&Co after ice skating

You can't really see the short hair in the pictures eh?

I'll upload more when i can cos the internet connection's really sucky in the day.

At night it'll be on normal speed, the one i'm used to.

& tonight i'd be having a party to celebrate my birthday. Lots of people are invited. HEHEHHEH

Mum wanted me to dress nice. But unfortunately i haven't got anything nice to wear so i'm going to go out in a moment's time, just to buy a dress for tonight. Lol.

Yesterday i did go shopping. Bought 2 tops at this mall which is like the 'Bugis Street' of Jakarta. Just that its all air-conditioned :D

Then after that we went to watch Bolt. Awww, it was a heart-warming story. I like! :)

And we still went to eat SanDwich Bakar (aka toast sandwiches) yum yum!

It made me so fullllll. & i keep on eating. Lol. Lets see how much weight i'll put on this time.

Before i came, i was 41kg.

& last year i put on 3kg. HAHHAHHAH

Okay now i gotta change, so i'll update soon k :)

Maybe next week, after i get back from Bali. (Which i'm going on monday)

Bye i'll miss ya'll :D

PS I'm so tempted to watch TWILIGHT! Its already out here!!!!

I've lost track of counting

2008-12-05T12:06:00.002+08:00

Well well, yesterday was okay. I went ice skating.

Hah and i did manage to learn, like maybe 70% or something.

I can skate. But i'm just afraid to let go and go fast. HAHAAHHA So when i'm back in sg i'd definitely go learn more, until i can properly skate.

AND I didn't fall down at all hahha, well, not officially but i did have many episodes of almost-fell-down-but-i-didn't. Lol.

I did manage to take a few pictures yesterday, apparently the card reader's having some problems. ZZZZZ =.= SO SAD CAN?!!

I've already got my hair highlighted. Its orange-ish when i'm in light. HAHHAHHA.

Grrrrr pictures pictures, if only i could show ya'll right now :(

Later on we're going to some theme park, but not a major one though.

Okay wait, i'm not so sure about that, but yeah, i'll be going somewhere for sure.

Tonight we're also going to the movies. Gonna watch BOLTTTT :D HEHHEHEH.

Hopefully we'll do a little shopping too, i REAALLY REAAALLY need to buy quite a number of stuff.

Oh, i'll tell you something too.

Twilight's already out here. O______O Prolly a pirated version because the official website did state that its only going to be released Feb 2009?

OMG i'm like so tempted to watch.

But then again, since its a pirated version it wouldn't be that good in quality?

AHHHHHH! I'll just wait for Dec 18th then!

Heh, okay i really hope i can upload some pictures soon. Its boring just to blog like this, in words.

Three. The fun begins!

2008-12-04T12:44:00.003+08:00

Hello hello once again! :)

Today i woke up pretty late. No no, its very late. Like 9 plus? (Translate that yourself to sg's time and you have 10am!!) OMG right? I don't usually wake up THIS late.

HAHHAHA whatever.

Anyway, the fun begins today, officially! Cos James'll finish his exams.

So later on, we'll be going Ice Skating! I haven't tried it before, but it doesn't take a crystal ball to predict that i'm going to be falling down ALOT. I just hope i'll learn quick! HAHHAHHAH.

& jes' dad is going to video cam us. Omg i can already imagine my embarrassment when maybe he'll catch me falling down, on tape.

Actually he's going to bring that cam along was to sort of test it out in time for our Bali trip.

Cos this time our trip's not going to be not that much sightseeing. We're going on cruises, swimming with dolphins, well, you get the picture. So it'll be best to capture it all on tape eh? Heh.

& Talking about that, i'm leaving for Bali next monday! And i'd only be back on Sat. WOOO i can't wait! :)

Then after that, we'll have dinner then maybe eat toasted sandwiches. OMG those are to die for! Its really really good!

& next in line on my schedule would be........ I'm going to have highlights tonight!

HEHEHHEHE. So hopefully i'll start taking pictures to upload cos its just like a sea of words here. And i'm sure ya'll want to know how my hair looks like now. Hah.

Okay then ciao ciao! (;

Day 2

2008-12-03T13:36:00.006+08:00

Hello hello! :)

Guess what? Last night, i was about to sleep at around 11pm.... And then my uncle came into the room and asked whether i wanted to cut my hair.

So i said yes! And decided to chop my hair off.

Yes i meant my long hair!!!!!!!! & its all gone now!

I did that so i can get rid of the frizzy ends of my hair. Now my hair's soft >_<

I actually look pretty childish now :(

I'll show you when i start taking pictures. HAHHAHHAHAH.

Tomorrow night i'm also going to get highlights, so i wouldn't look exactly the same as edi. The reason being, my style is exactly the same as hers. Just that its a longer version. Lol! You'll know what i'm talking about with pictures i'll put up :)

& From morning i was playing Sims2 on PS2. Now i'm just waiting for lunch! We ordered pizza in. HEHHEHEHHEHEHEH.

K i don't know what else to update about, cos i haven't really started doing REAL stuff.

I'm just here to tell you that i chopped my long hair off :)

Seventeen's first

2008-12-02T23:28:00.004+08:00

Touched down at the airport at around 4pm (Jakarta time) In Singapore it would be 5pm, so its a one hour difference.

Okay the flight wasn't that bad. There's so much turbulence. AND YOU KNOW WHAT?!??! A BUG WAS ON MY LEGS EWWWWWWWWWWW VERY GROSS!!!!

Then after that we went home before fetching mummy from work and we went out for dinner.

OH YES! The mall we had dinner in is so so so so AWESOME CAN?!

It had this New York theme to it. Fabulous Decor. And its really big. I mean really really big! Haven't really started exploring yet, but i've plenty of time. EHHEHHEH.

There's also major traffic jams here which i don't fancy at all. I mean, who does?

& They said i'm only going to celebrate my birthday on Sat. Cos James is still in the midst of his exams.

Well better than nothing right?

Friday we're also going to the theme park! WOOOOO

I so love Jakarta! :D

And too bad my phone's not on roaming. How sad. But pops did give me another number to use though, its jes' number. Lol. So i cannot receive any messages from my usual phone. SAD SAD SAD! :(

Now i shall go look for other stuffs to do alright, its like the last hour of my birthday already!

& Thank ya'll for the wishes once again! :)

2008-12-01T12:11:00.010+08:00

Once again, i'm still in a crazy excited mood.

I'M FLYING OFF TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!!!!

@ 2.40pm

In case you don't know, its Jakarta!

OMGOMGOMG.

I can't wait! Especially the Bali trip!!!!

Beside's flying, i'm turning 17 too :)

LIKE FINALLYYY CAN!?

Okay here's my story today:

Edi msged me, telling me to go look at jes' cupboard.

Then i found it very very absurd. Cos she just wanted me to go look.

(I was thinking maybe she wanted me to bring back stuffs for her, so i replied, What do you want to bring?)

She just told me to go look. So reluctantly, i went. I was looking around, and beholdddd..... I saw this!

Close up! Its a hairclip with pretty crystals stuck on

& so i felt really bad. 'Twas a sweet card, thanks edi&jes&irene!! :)

Other than that, my 08S11 classmates celebrated for me yesterday too. At Expo. Lol. I'm lazy to go into the details but honestly, i'm touched, so from the bottom of my heart i thank ya'll too! :)

Today i've already finished settling my school stuffs, and i'm still packing the luggage =.="

& I'm going out with pops for dinner tonight!

& then get home, conference call @ 9

& get everything packed

& then sleep and WAIT FOR MORNING TO COME :D

Two! (2)

2008-11-29T21:17:00.003+08:00

I'm counting down.

2 MORE DAYS! :D

Oh yah, CIP @ Expo wasn't great. I didn't like it one bit.

Well... If it wasn't for my classmates i wouldn't be there. HAHHAHA. Okay, with them around it isn't that bad at all.

Hmm, the ones i worked with on the first day were a nice bunch of people too :)

As for today, it was slack for us girls. The reason being we had issues, and so we were being re-deployed to do stock taking.

Oh ya, i didn't mention right, yesterday was CRAZEEE! We had to like squeeze 20 bags into one small box. Mind you it wasn't easy! I was like pushing like mad, and had quite a fair bit of cuts and bruises on my knuckles. That was basically the job of my female classmates and i. Our hands ached ALOTTTT!

Till now it still does.

Oh well, but it was compensated for because we managed to switch roles, and got to sit around all day, practically doing nothing while the others worked their butts off. I was like, stoning with Triena. HAHHAHHHA.

Tomorrow i'm not going already. I've calculated the opportunity cost and it isn't worth it for me to spend my day there again. Hah.

& Monday i'm going to spend time cleaning up the house and really really pack my luggage for real (i keep taking the clothes from inside to wear!)

Although i didn't do much work today, i'm still exhausted.

So.... I'll get going now. G'night ya'll :D

Hello, goodbye.

2008-11-27T12:33:00.002+08:00

This would be one of my last times blogging before my trip to Indo!

Ohhhhh.i.can't.wait.

By the way, edi called me last night (YAYYAY!) & then she told me what she'd been doing blah blah blah. She said tonight she's gonna go for a wedding dinner. So.. I guess she can't call me tonight :(

Ahh nevermind, anyway i ought to sleep early tonight. CIP thingy at Expo tomorrow.

Actually, i've got quite alot of things to complete.

1. Hand up forms to school
2. Bath the dog
3. PACK THE LUGGAGE!!!
4. Err i don't know already

Okay, so it isn't that much to do. But i've only a limited time.

Which is.... Today?

Hmmm, and that hand up form thing must be done by Mon.

& Toosday imma fly!

Oh yes! I'm also going to use this afternoon to watch a movie with mats & morgg later, its a good thing they asked me out, so i won't have to rot at home.

Actually, being at home alone is a nice nice feeling indeed. No one to disturb you.. ANDDD! I can blast the music as loud as i want. & yessss that feels great.

:D

Thoughts that kill

2008-11-26T16:44:00.006+08:00

I just read hann darl's blog. Thanks babe! You're really nice to talk to, i really really needed someone there, I LOVE YOU!!!

I like what she said,

People do come and go.
And their reason for being there with you at some period of time should certainly be held on to.
Keep it close to your heart
and treasure them for being there with you
although it might just be for
a short period of time.

Makes alot of sense eh??

Anyway, i went to call edi last night and she said she went out to eat, went shopping already. All of it without me! How could they!??! HAHAHAH Nah, i'll be there soon anyway, and joining in the fun! :)

Too bad the computer there's spoilt, or else i could be talking to her online every night. Calling is pretty expensive :/ But i had to! I just had the urge to do that. Hah. And she said she'll call me later, and so i'm just waiting till tonight.

Yes, i'm pretty sick too. The aftermath of not having enough rest last week. But i'm getting better already so no worries, and yes, i'm drinking water like there's no tomorrow.

I declare i'll get well by tomorrow!

The sore thoat's going away already :)

Actually i'm supposed to be ironing the clothes and cleaning up my desk of papers. Or you can say, throwing all the worksheets and shreading them up into bits and pieces.

Which, i have been procrastinating about so i'm going to do it right after i blog this!

Tonight's going to be more luggage packing and after tomorrow, in a blink of an eye it'll be tuesday already (because i'd be really busy)

Oh, tuesday's an important day! You better know what it is! *winkwinknudgenudge*

If not, then you can do this, don't worry i'll take you through.

First, press the ALT button followed by F4 simutaneously, and then don't ever come back!

I'm just kidding, or maybe i'm not.

HAHAHHHAH You'd better know k! :)

I'll go get busy now.

2008-11-26T16:28:00.010+08:00

How can I decide what’s right,
when you’re clouding up my mind?
I can’t win your losing fight all the time.

Not gonna ever own what’s mine,
when you’re always taking sides.
But you won’t take away my pride.
No, not this time.
Not this time.

How did we get here,
when I used to know you so well?
But, how did we get here?
Well, I think I know how.

The truth is hiding in your eyes,
and it’s hanging on your tongue.
Just boiling in my blood.
But you think that I can’t see what kind of man that you are;
if you’re a man at all.
Well, I will figure this one out on my own.
(I’m screaming, “I love you so.”)
On my own.
(My thoughts you can’t decode.)

How did we get here,
when I used to know you so well? (Yeah.)
How did we get here?
Well, I think I know how.

Do you see what we’ve done?
We’ve gone and made such fools of ourselves.
Do you see what we’ve done?
We’ve gone and made such fools of ourselves.

How did we get here,
when I used to know you so well? (Yeah, yeah, yeah!)
Well, How did we get here
when I used to know you so well.
I think I know...
I think I know...

There is something I see in you.
It might kill me.
I want it to be true.

OMGOMGOMG

God is just so so so so good to me!

Anyway, yesterday something happened, which, i'm not going to reveal.

More of like i don't dare to.

However i did tell a selected group of people, and they're happy for me too! :)

I didn't think this would happen. I mean, i thought i'd have to persuade longer. And guess what it just came naturally, like that!

WOOOSH!

HAPPINESS!!!! I think my heart was just filled with such excitement and hope.

I could finally get a good night's sleep, because prior to that i was just nervous and my heart got all jittery and i didn't know what to say.

And then..... I didn't have to prompt or anything. It just came.

Praise God! :D

After that, i went to tell a bunch of people. HAHHAHAHHA :DDD

Now everything's just great for me. Except one thing.

Like the seasons, people change.

& I say that i've changed too, for the better of course!! I mean who wants to change to become a worst person??? That just doesn't make any sense. Well, at least, not me. I'm a better person and i'm 100% sure.

I've learnt so much things, things that woke me up immediately.

It shook me real bad.

I think you can see it coming.

***

Anyway, i can't wait for next weeeeeeek! I'll be flying off and away from here. A perfect getaway!

I've also already started to do some packing up, lest i won't have any time during the weekend, i'm going to be busy again, this time with CIP and i'll have to repeat the cycle of going all the way till Expo in the early morning to be doing something not that enjoyable as the Asia Conference. Well DUHHHHHHHH.

But at least i'd be able to spend time with my classmates yeah? :)

I'm not so sure about Sunday though :/

& Yesssss i'm so excited for next week. I know i'm repeating again but really!

There's so many things i want to do.

SHOPPINGGGG!

Snip some hair and maybe get some highlights! Basically, a brand new look, so don't be surprised maybe i'll come back blonde :O

FOOOOOOOOOOOD! Gosh, seriously, Indo has many of my favourite food!!!!

And with that, maybe throw in a bit of weight. I mean kilograms. Last year i put on 3kg. HAHAHHA. But being me, i'm sure i'll lose it anyway :P

Spend time basking in the warmth of the sun on the beaches in Bali

& i don't know what else is in store, but as usual, its gonna be awesome!!!! :D

Ok then, let me continue daydreaming about next week :P

Toodles!

ASIA CONFERENCE 08

2008-11-24T12:53:00.012+08:00

The past 5 days has been really^infinity AWESOME!!!!!!!!

I've been spending it at church. Only coming home just to sleep. Hah.

And i've broken so many of my own records, like sleeping late and having so little sleep and all that. And and going to church superrrr early. And catching the last trains home (Which i've never done before. Its thrilling, esp when y'knw you missed it!)

Everyday since wednesday, i reach home at around 12 plus going to 1am and wake up at 5 plus to go to Expo and i met with jon every morning. Marwin too, for one of the days.

Then on sat i only managed to get like 2 hours of sleep and i'm outta the house already!

Only 2 hours of being in my house leh! Then must go back to Expo. Might as well stay there right? HAHHAH.

But i still managed to survive yesterday!! WOOO BIG accomplishment!!

There was even one night we missed the last train. OMG that was really bad man. We ended up taking so many different buses and ending up at Paya Lebar and i cabbed home with jon from there. The fare was like 30 bucks?!?!!??!? So ex y'knw!

From then on, we decided to not miss the last train! LOL so i caught the last train home every night.

And going back home with them on the train's really funny man! Desean's like so blur, in a cute way. HAHHAHAAHH he made us all laugh alot. Yes ALOT! HAHHAHHA

The thing i can't figure is that i know i'm tired. Like, really tired. But still i manage to wake up every morning quite early and still survive through a whole day.

Especially the queueing up. My goodness that sucked alot of my energy!

Anyway, it was a blast, literally.

Every single session i go to never fails to blow me away.

&&& i'm deeply impacted, as if a sword just went through my heart!

So many revelations, so many visions i saw in the 5 days.

And i've finally come to know the identity of that little, faint voice in my head. No, it isn't called intuition anymore :)

Its like now i know i'm in a whole new dimension or something.

I don't even know how to begin describing this, its a good feeling.

And i miss it already.

Later on i'm thinking of doing up a spiritual-diary-blog.

So i can keep track of things and not backslide time and time again! I've had enough of that.

This conference is the key to my breakthrough, i'm very sure!

Everything's going to change from now on.

Okay so all in all, i can't wait for the next one. It'll be in 2010! :D

***

Today i woke up early. Like 10am? I slept at 1am y'knw!! But i don't know. I just got up.

And then i walked around the house.

So empty, so quiet, so lonely. Its filled up with dead silence :((((

My sisters flew off yesterday already. I can't wait to join them next tuesday. WOOOOOO! I bet they're already having fun and eating out every single night, without me :((((

From the moment they said they're at the airport, i already miss them so so so much! (Even though they get annoying at times) But still, yes! :D

I miss ya'll!!!!! D:

After i woke up i started doing house chores already. Like, making the beds, then wash some mugs, then take the clothes from the laundry and ironing them (i'm halfway done) And wash clothes manually cos i don't know how to operate the machine.

Now i understand how hard it is for my maid. I mean, 16 years of my life (going 17) i've always had a maid to help me out. Now that she went back, omg! Yes i know how tiring it is. Just doing the washing of clothes and hanging them up took alot of effort from me. I didn't dare hang it out of the window. Cos the clothes were like too heavy and i'm scared i'll fall off the ledge. So better safe then sorry!

Actually i think i don't have to do all these. But i don't know, that little voice in me told me i should be doing it. Throwing it to my dad would be so easy. But that'll be mean of me. I mean, i think i should be old enough to be able to take care of myself.

So yea! That's what i'm doing now, another accomplishment for me :)

I'm gonna go have lunch now, initially pops asked me to cook rice and egg for myself. But then! I don't know the proportions to cooking rice so i ain't doing that. I'll just go to the coffee shop downstairs and get some food then i'll go sleep for the whole afternoon :D

& for dinner pops says he's gonna cook yayyy :D

That's it for now, i'm hungry! :(

Bye :D

ITS TOOESDAY

2008-11-18T14:38:00.008+08:00

Today, I went swimming in the morning. With aisyah! YAY happy happy cos i haven't seen her in a really long time! So we swum for around 1 hour i think?

And behold.....

When i went to bath..........

OMGGGGGG i'm tannned!

First thing that came across my mind was: Why so fast?!??! The sun wasn't even out. It was soo cloudy and freezing cold.

Actually i was supposed to put sunblock. But i couldn't find it :((((

Tomorrow we're going to swim again i think. And tonight, i'm going to hunt for the sunblock and i will apply it. Hahhahahha. Don't want to be too tanned you know. The skin colour i'm having now isn't that black and not that white either. So its not that bad :D

All that chlorine in the pool also made my nail polish peel off. Grrrrr. My pretty blue nails are not so pretty now :(

Nevermind that, i will go repaint them after the swim tomorrow, in time for the conference. Heh.

I think that blue colour looks hot! Edi didn't really like it. One that it looked scary. Aisyah said that it looks as if i've dipped my nails into paint. And jon said that it looked like M&Ms (just that it ain't edible) HAHHAHAHHA.

K so i also did a lot of catching up with aisyah just now. Oh i feel so much better now :)

So the saying that you shouldn't bottle up your feelings is so correct.

Pouring it out to someone else does make you feel good :)

I miss all of them :)

Well okay, i don't miss Jamues because he's in the same school as i am and we meet every morning with Ruoqi too.

I miss Riha the most! I haven't been seeing her, haven't been talking to her :(

By the way, she's the one in the middle. The other girl is aisyah! Yes, the same one i was talking about earlier on. They're both my bestest best best friends :D

I miss us being crazy in class.

So crazy that we're called the mental hospital trio.

How cool is that huh!

So here's a big shoutout to the both of them :D

Okay now as i'm blogging i'm actually waiting for the GG video to load. OMG that show is just awesome or what! Nate nate nate. So hot can! I went to google his name just now, and saw that his eyes are aqua blue. OMGGG I wasn't that observant anyway. Jon pointed that out to me yesterday. Hahahhah.

After GG, i'm going to look for more showws. Maybe i'll ask jon for some, since he has ALOT of them hahhahhaha :D

:DDDDDD

HELLO :)

2008-11-17T10:44:00.014+08:00

Yesterday i was practically at church the whole day, but at two locations & yup it was alot of fun, as usual. HAHAHAH.

Anyway, yesterday was different 'cause my friends jon, tathi and sister are getting water baptized.

So, congratulations to them :)

Thati, sis & me

This is us, those that came down to support :D

And by the time everything's over it was like 4 plus and we hadn't had lunch.

So... My family was all starving. Hence we went to Jp and settled for Ichiban.

Me&edi's black face with some curry rice dish i couldn't finish.

Honestly, i don't think i really like Ichiban. Hmmm, i still love Sakae Sushi. Or maybe its because i always eat at Sakae so i'm not really used to others? Or maybe its because i'm just plain fussy about my food. Hah.

Having lunch at 4 plus is really weird. Its like, one moment you're really hungry, and then the next, you're not. So i didn't finish up my food and passed it to pops :P

Oh yeah, one more thing! At the church at Jurong west someone pointed out Jacelyn Tay to me. I think it was Roy. Yeah. I was kinda surprised, that she actually looks better in person! And i wonder what she was doing there. Hmmm... Only God knows i guess? HAHHAH.

There you go, you can see her face right there :D

Next sunday my sistas are all flying off already!!! Leaving poor me all alone at home. Well actually not really alone. I have cessy. And dad will accompany me when he comes back from work at night.

So to occupy myself i think i might just rent loads of dvds. Oh someone please recommend me some great movies or shows or series to watch PUH-LEASE!!! And i'll bake cookies, i owe someone. HAHAHA. All of that for four days. I think that should be enough :)

And then... It'll soon be my turn to fly. On the plane. ALONE AGAIN! :(

I also know what to do already, in my 1 hour 30 minutes ++ journey there, cos im in a budget plane.

I will be....... READING THE TWILIGHT SERIES OVER AGAIN! :DDD

You know! The other day, i was out at town. Then i went to borders. Guess what i saw?!??!?!

Its a borders exclusive Twilight 2009 Calendar!

$35.90!

OMGOMGOMGOMG!

Grrrrrrrr Very expensive! But i think i'm going to go get it anyway :P

You know, people do crazy things when they're obssessed with something, and that includes me. HEHEHHEHHEHHEH.

Wheeeee~

&&& i'm going to go out later too, window shopping at town, it helps me kill some time, so why not? :DDDD

Kays, i'm going to be doing random stuff now.

Toodles~

OH YAYYYY!

2008-11-14T17:26:00.003+08:00

Hahahahah it turns out that, this studying thing with hanisah darl didn't work out that well.

OPPPS!

Well. It turned out to be some catch up session or something! Its been sooo long since i've talked to her since pw last time and so we were kinda separated. Awwww.

We also went to talk to Mr Goh, get some advice and all that. Hahhahha.

Then off we went, talking about sooo many things, like there's no tomorrow like that! So i met her from 11am all the way until 4pm :DDD

Yayyyy! And so i got a lot of things off my chest and practically poured EVERYTHING onto her. All the secrets and whatever. Just everything. Hehe.

I so love her :)

Move it!

2008-11-14T09:08:00.002+08:00

HEHEHHEE YAY i've watched it already, with ed. HAHAHAH I think its not bad. But err i think it lacks a little bit of a punch somewhere.

But along the way its funny HAHAHAH :D

Okay later on i gotta go to school to meet hanisah darling to study with her till 3 plus or something. We'll see how long we can last. Hah! But i think i'm only going to last for like 1 hour? And yes, apparently that is a bad thing cos i'm supposed to study with her until she goes off to watch Madagascar at around 3 plus? So i cannot leave halfway!! Hahahaha.

&then at night it'll be cell group :D

Other than that i think i've got absolutely nothing to update about.

Urghh so boring right? Mannn i can't wait till next week! Cos i'd be busy and its definitely better than doing nothing... like now............ I can hear the clock ticking away......

K then i shall be off, g'bye! :)

Its that time of the year

2008-11-12T17:36:00.007+08:00

WOOOOO Look at that! Christmas decorations are already up in my house!

Pretty right? :DDD (You'd better say yes, or else....... *evil laughter in the background*)

&&& time flies. Because next next sunday my sisters are already flying off, along with my maid.

And this means one very simple thing.

It means that i have to start knowing how to do household chores. Especially the laundry and i might have to cook for myself and dad too.

Eeeeeeeeks! But i don't know how to wash clothes. & no, its not as simple as just dumping it into the machine because that would just be wasting water because its only two people's clothes that i'm washing.

I better start shadowing my maid soon and pick up a few tricks. Hah!

***

Today i also went to study with yummers (aka pw group)

Met them at 1pm and then we dilly-dallied here and there, that included being fickle-minded and not knowing where to study so in the end we only settled down pretty late.

Yes i did do one of my homework. So thats good enough i guess, considering the fact that i actually had no mood to study.

No mood meaning i've got tonnns of problems wavering around in my head.

Its the devil's work i tell you.

Cos EVERY SINGLE THING is turning out wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BUT! I'm soo going to stand STRONG.

These problems shall be solved, with a snap of my fingers!

Oh and we left around 4pm and we got 'caught' in the rain. Thats in inverted commas cos we (morg, wc, mats&myself) were actually walking in shelters to get to the bus stop. But nooo! The rain was pouring down like mad and the wind made it worse by blowing it. So in the end we were all still very wet, despite walking in the shelter =.=

Sometimes i love the rain. But i soo hate it when i'm caught in that kind of situation. I'll love it when you're at home and you'll know its the perfect time to take a nap. HAHAHHAHA!

& this time, the rain is worst! Cos there's so much thunder booming around. Its scary! & Yes, for your information, I i AM scared :(

My first reflex when i see lightning would be to cover my ears and squeeze my eyes shut. HAHHAH. If the thunder's loud then i'll add a scream to that. LOL. Like some kid huh? Haha but thats me :D

Okay, i shall now get busy. With things to occupy my brain awhile before i start thinking of the solutions to my probs :(

Pray for me if you can k? :)

I-don't-know

2008-11-10T20:31:00.001+08:00

Why do things have to always turn out like this?????

Happppyyyyyyyyy

2008-11-10T07:57:00.005+08:00

I like new beginnings. 'Cause everything's new and that you can start everything on a fresh, crisp page. That was on friday, and its very unusual indeed.

Then yesterday was just awesome.

If you're wondering what, lets say that i've now met a new bunch of friends and we're going to be sooo close! Hah!

We've already thinking of a Sentosa trip, right after i get back from Indo.

HEHHEHEHHEHHEHE.

Oh they're a bunch of lovelovelove. I like-e!

K yesterday, i was watching Madagascar on teevee. I kept on laughing =.=

HAHAA its really funny. So now i reaally reaally want to watch Madagascar 2!!! :D

Oh and you know, i don't think i'll be that bored. Next week i'm gonna be occupied with church 5 days straight from morning till night & i know that i know its going to be awesome too! I can't wait! :)

& the week after that i have CIP thingy at Expo from 28-30, we have to be there by 8.30am!!!! Ohmygoodness!!! But that isn't a problem though. Cos yesterday, i reached church at 8.15am :D

Plus its a whole day thing, each day ending max 9pm. WAAAOOOH! But think of the hours we can clock in easily. Hah!

K today, i'm still going to occupy myself with games.

BUT i'm a happier nut. Opps i meant nat.

'Cause i've got no more worries :)

ARRRRRGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

2008-11-07T09:17:00.004+08:00

Now i'm back to square one — AGAIN!

ARRGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH.

This is totally driving me nuts. Yes literally nuts!

I tried doing the assignments and you know what?!?!??!?

Its that bad.

Believe me when i say i seriously don't know how to do a single question properly for the chemistry assignment!

& isn't it right that when you make a mistake, you're supposed to correct it right now?!? Nobody's perfect right?

Must i show you how difficult it was for me to go through this year?!

WHYWHYWHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!

I'm just not suited for this thats why i HAVE to change my route now. NOW BEFORE IT GETS TOO LATE & IN THE END THE ONE THAT SUFFERS WOULD BE ME ME ME!

I'm reaally reaally upset :(

I'm trusting God with all i have right now.

Think for a moment

2008-11-06T13:30:00.009+08:00

I've just been provisionally promoted to J2.

WOO, how great.

If you don't know, it means you get promoted with strings attached.

1. some assignments to be submitted by Nov 26.

2. next year i've got to pass some review test thing.

Okay, here's the catch.

For the first one, you MUST submit, or else they'd kick you out of school.

And as for the next, fail any one of the subjects and you get kicked out too.

LIKE SERIOUSLY?!?!

ITS GETTING KICKED OUT OF SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its worst than being retained. I mean, the people that got provisionally promoted don't even have the choice of preferring to be retained or not.

Its a do-it-right-or-die situation.

They call it a 'privilege' that we got promoted, and that we should accept it, and be thankful.

I think its more of suicide, if you ask me, and like what many others are also saying.

You see, lets say one fails the review test, he/she will be kicked out and be left with NOTHING.

I say that is because the poly applications would probably start in mid jan. But we'll only take the test after 12 Jan, which is like mid jan already and hellooo?! How long do you think they'll take mark it?!? So if you fail you can even go to poly!!!

So, suicide anot?

But if you think it from a different angle, it could be that they are just threatening you. So that you'd study harder y'knw.

Then again, they sounded awfully serious about it. Like, if they don't do it then where's their credibility or whatever, if you know what i mean.

Its really low to use this kind of motivation. Seriously. I mean, i think everyone would automatically understand the seriousness of the situation. And they'd be veryvery thankful for getting promoted and duhhhhhhh, they'd definitely already be woken up from their slumber and work hard. Afterall, its going to be the A levels year already.

&what if someone that was actually promoted went to fail any of the review tests? And what if they failed all? Will they get kicked out too? And so what if they're promoted?!?!

Where's the justice?

Grrrrrrrrrrrz. Now im frustrated, over the fact that i don't know the exact time to withdraw from school.

So i still need to complete the assignments just to be in school on 12 jan when school actually starts. This is for the sake of seeing my friends, i'm more than happy to make this errr, what do you call this... Sacrifice? Hmmmm.

Then i think i'll withdraw?

I seriously need to think it through.

I'll discuss with pops later.

Now i've just been through too much, i can't handle it.

Yeahh i know you'd probably be saying that it doesn't really have to matter, since i'm going off already anyway, so why even bother??

Nevermind this.

I shall go play some games to loosen up a little.

Decision-making time tonight.

Note to self: Trust Him. Relaxxx! Everything will turn out fine!

edi the super something

2008-11-05T12:18:00.005+08:00

I know halloween's over, but you gotta check this out!

HAHHAHHAHHAHA This is edi!

She was playing with the mirror on the night of halloween. HAHHAHHA you know what? Everytime i see this picture i laugh to myself.

Anyways, congrats to her for getting into the double science class! :)

***

I'm now kinda stuck at home. Pw's really over & so now i've got nothing to do.

I might go out to search for a job. That'll help me kill time.

Meanwhile, if you've got one please please tell me okay? :)

&& ask me out next week pleaseeeee!

I'll just be chilling out now g'bye! :D

PJ069 Yummers

2008-11-04T22:02:00.043+08:00

After OP! WOOOHOOOOOO~ Happy happy!

And then, we went on our way to Bugis....

I think we look like some tourists. Hahhahhaha! Its all grassy cos' we went via the back of school.

Here's all of us with the 'reserved' sign @ the shop where we ate desserts.

Awkward smile!

That hand sign stands for Wei Cheng.

& we do this when he sings:

OH.... SHIT!

WHATS IN THE BUCKET?

WHATS IN THE BUCKET IN THE BUCKET OF SHIT?

(Inside jokeee)

They were on the other side because we girls dashed across.

(Maybe we should have some road safety lessons)

Card that mats made, pretty eh? We're giving this to our chinese teacher!

As you can see, this is a post dedicated to my beloved pw group.

They're awesome! & they the ones that made school fun for me :)

Now i've just finished editing another round of pw stuff (I'm really sick of it!) & Tomorrow it'll officially end! :DDD

I think i'll miss them the most when i leave :(((

I'll miss...

Keeping tons of secrets from py.

Morg's awkwardness thing.

Bee's laughter and swaying (actually more of dancing) when she presents.

Making the cool props for the video.

Mats talking very loudly. Whether it is in the library, or when others are presenting & we had to shush her.

Going to the playground to play catching when we have no mood to do any more work.

Them talking about wild boars and stuff with me not knowing a thing.

Scooting around the classroom block with people staring.

Drawing funny things on the slides when someone is presenting.

Me memorising their scripts (especially py's)

Py and her butt locking technique.

Eating desserts at Bugis.

Us doing mats' awkward smile.

Me always going against wc.

Us getting to know each other better (we couldn't get along in the beginning!)

Basically i'll miss them alllll :(

No more staying up late editing.

No more trying to please Ching.

& No more stressss to get things right!

Now i can go sleep in peace.

I ♥ Yummers very much!!! d("-")b

Gd night ya'll! :D

Ice cream is love!

2008-11-03T20:05:00.009+08:00

Okay hello hello like i said, i'll update today.

We were eating a Gelare! Oooo yummy waffles!

Edi didn't want chocolate to be drizzled over thats why it looks so plain! :(((

Look! Ice cream cake!!!! Awesome!!!

=.= i don't know what Irene is doing.

Yup anyway we all finished the pw oral presentation. OMG mannnn! I'm really happpyyyyyy :D

I don't care how we did (I think we did pretty well) I just care for the fact that its overrrr and i won't have to work hard anymore. Well not until i enter the poly ;)

We still have to go to school to do some more pw filing up though. Grrz why is it that its never ending???

Anyway we went to Bugis to eat desserts as a form of celebration that OP's over :D

We also took neoprints!!! HAHAHHA this one's damn funny can? Both guys were so awkward-ishhh. We still had to drag them in. HAHHAHHAH.

Okay then that should be about it.

I can officially take the backseat & enjoyyyy :D

Don't be jealous of me k :P

Birthdayyy girls :)

2008-11-02T22:00:00.003+08:00

Happy birthday to Irene (sis) & Nydia :DDD

We ate at Gelare in the late afternoon and still had an ice cream cake :D

I shall elaborate tomorrow k.

***

Now i gotta prepare for the presentation tomorrow!

I need to have beauty sleeeep. Hehehhehe.

Finally the day has come.

I'm giving it my all tomorrow :)

Halloween '08

2008-11-01T17:23:00.024+08:00

HAPPY HALLOWEEN :D

I bet i can fix that cube!

Okay basically this year edi & me didnt go trick or treating for sweets. And we did go there pretty late (they had band till 6pm!)

The thing is, if you go late, your haul of sweets wouldn't be much. So i decided its no point going around trick or treating.

Anyway there's always a next year. The best thing is that it will be on a Saturdayyyy! And band wouldn't end that late for them so yay we would be able to go early and get candyy to show off to ya'll :DD

(If they have to go band i'll FORCE them to skip. No i'm just kidding. No wait maybe i'm not.)

So this year's halloween wasn't exactly that fun because i didn't go get candy. But! I did get to see lots of interesting costumes though, and that would definitely give me ideas for next year.

K tomorrow's going to be Irene's birthday too. Lunch will be at Swensens tomorrow :D

***

Today we met up for pw again! Practiced twice for the presentation on monday.

We shall do well :D

How much longer?

2008-10-31T07:05:00.002+08:00

I miss having fun :)

I woke up at 6 today. Gotta be in school at 8, pw meeting, like i mentioned earlier.

Okay so this morning i decided to look through my photos & i can't wait to go back to Jakarta to have fun.

Especially when the first day i take a step there would be on a special day.
(hint hint wink wink nudge nudge!)

WOOHOOOO :O

Throws confetti

2008-10-30T17:10:00.009+08:00

I'm reaaaaaaallly reeaaallyyyy happy today!

(Even though the paper didn't go that well)

But on the bright side, its already over. So that's one less thing to worry about.

Well first i was really happy because...........

In the morning i went to school with Edwin. Its the first time you know, so yay! Thats a very happy me going to school, which is quite rare.

And he woke up early just for me :)

(Awwwwwwww...)

HAHHAHA i also stole his aura so that i might do well for chinese. Looks like i didn't get enough, cos like i said, it was pretty hard.

But nevermind that, i have faith in myself! I can get my B!!!

After that we were doing abit of PW. Our presentation's on monday! OMG scary. And finally, our music for the video clip we made is approved. I still have to make changes to some pictures though.

Then after Bee went off Morg started talking lots of crap, which included an exact impersonation of the way Mr Goh speaks. It really sounded like him O___O Well we all thought he's like that today because of the sugar rush.

Oh and i came home and turned on the computer.

&pops skyped me.

Dad: hello ... who is that
Me: the coolest girl on earth
Dad: how is your exam (I think by this he already knew who i was)

HAHHAHA. So not fun :(((((((((((((((((((((((((

Anyway, tomorrow we're going to meet at 8am to practise&practise. Because practice makes perfect. Nevermind the fact that there's no perfection. We're going to be good. Really good :)

Ok i shall get to work now, got quite abit of editing to do.

Sidetracking a little, its Halloween tomorrow! YAYYYYY the real partying will begin.

Oh and another reason to party! That is, this is my 400th post! :O

Toodles.

Happy pill

2008-10-29T18:24:00.003+08:00

Hello hello can you see that i've changed my layout yet again?

(Well obviously)

Anyway this was the product of being bored in the afternoon.

& this layout here took me 4 hours to make.

(I know, omg!)

Well its because i made it from scratch. And it took A LONG TIME to draw the curvy lines in.

Now that its completed, woooo i feel a sense of satisfaction.

More layouts to come this holidays. YAYYY! & then i'll upload them to blogskins.com :)

Doesn't this colour scheme remind you of sunset? :)

GASPPP for air.

2008-10-29T11:16:00.006+08:00

Oooh lookie! GASPPPPP :O

Thats my mummy, on the left!

All glammed up!! :)

That is her, attending a masquerade ball in Indo recently. Oh, and this is ~~while she's at work~~. Wait no! This IS her work.

Awesome stuffs. Next time i'll go take over her. HEHHEHEHHE.

***

Okay that aside. I think i'm quite prepared for chinese already. I mean, i know what i gotta know & i won't be worrying and cramming last minute stuff cos it wouldn't do me any good.

So, for a change, i'm just going to just chill for today.

Then tomorrow, its to the battlefield!

Anyway i'm feeling a little queasy.

I really went to burn my textbook and eat it up*. Or else how did you think i would be prepared already?! Nat always does last minute work and now she's prepared? W-O-W!

And you know what, it was delicious. YUM YUM! d('-'")b

I think you should try it too. It had a strange but nice smoky flavour to it.

Mmmmmmm...

* This scene was real in the mind of the writer. She has since been put back on medication.

I actually got this idea while reading Phin Wong's article on the newspaper :)

K gotta chill, bye :)

I need chocolate

2008-10-28T17:31:00.016+08:00

Firstly, Happy birthday Morg!

We celebrated it yesterday for him. Even gave him a surprise water bomb attack. And i think he was taken aback. No no. Thats not the right word. Its more of awkwardness! (Inside joke

AHHAHHA I'm happy it turned out well. Cos when we were all planning it like about 15 minutes before it seemed like a mess.

Then Bee & i went to get his cake while the others continued with the water bombing.

Surprise surprise! :)

After that, it was lunch @ Fish&Co. Then it was back to PW. Serious business. Ok it wasn't that serious but we kept on rehearsing our presentations.

& we never fail to take pictures everytime we meet. Its just that i haven't took it all from Bee yet. Somehow msn sends it soo slow and my sharing folder doesn't work. Sadsad :(

Woah woah birthday boy act cool! HAHHAAHAH XD

Yay. And you know what else else? (Yes, i did intend to put two 'else's)

They're all getting good at presenting! Esp Bee & Morg & WC they improved ALOTTTT! I'm so happyy. Which means if they're getting better, i shouldn't be complacent and i need more practice.

I know its possible for us all to get Exceeding Expectations as a grade! :)

Then, after our presentation on monday. We shall go celebrate ok? Like, eat some fast food to hawker food to sushi to dim sum and to snacks (HAAAA! Opps it looks like i've memorised someone's script by accident :P) Actually i think we'll be watching HSM 3! YAYYYY :D

***

Besides devoting my time to pw i also have been doing tons of chinese.

I know i can get a B i know i can get a B i know i can get a B i know i can get a B!!!!

(Trying to be positive here ok!)

& this thursday's already the exam.

Like, omg!!! I didn't expect it to come so soon though.

But i'm quite prepared already. Just need a little more memorising and i'm done! :)

***

Today, a rather unfortunate incident happened too.

Which made me really relieved that i'm getting out of the school pretty soon.

Like, seriously O_________O

I shall not dwell on it any longer.

I'm just glad i won't have to put up with it for another year.

***

I've got sudden cravings to eat alot alot alot of chocolate or whatever sweet stuffs!!

Hmmm, but why? :/

Gahhh, i shall go have a shower now. I've already been at school for the entire day!

Then at night i'm going to take my chinese textbook and sleep with it.

HAHAHHA no, just kidding. I'll just burn it and swallow its ashes.

WOOHOOOO! :D

like an empty bottle-me.

2008-10-26T18:05:00.007+08:00

As usual, i went to church in the morning.

Lots of things that i've learnt that really impacted me!

You cannot imagine how. Its between God and me :)

Woohoo how cool is that huh?

Then after that we lunched at Orchard. And i'm really started to hate crowded places. I mean, its really irritating when you get pushed around and all that. I CANNOT imagine how, if next time, i've to go to school in the morning in a crowded train. Oh, i'd hate that to the max.

Or maybe... I'd get a car :O

Okay. That was impossible.

But maybe i'd go get a travel buddy to meet everyday to go to school (by school i mean poly) HAHHAHAHHA. Anyone interested? ;)

Today i still don't have the mood. It was like yesterday. And pw yesterday wasn't that good too. Cos everyone had no mood too. I left earlier, like always, just to have dinner at home :) So ya, i'd forever be the first to go. Having dinner at home is best i think. Heh.

Then i also designed more stuff for pw. That one made me feel really good. Its the sense of accomplishment i guess. Although its a little tedious, as always.. It made me happy. And no, this time i won't show you guys how it looks like. Its a hush hush, just in case something happens...

Right now, i don't even have the mood to play. Not to mention studying chinese? 3 days left to prepare myself. I know i'll be ready by then. Maybe after some dinner i'd go study. It always helps to fill up your stomach first before doing anything else.

Tomorrow's a public holiday. And our group's gonna meet up again. This time i am sure, it WILL be fun. We're having something up our sleeves. Thats why :) So i hope it'll all work out the way we wanted it to be.

Oh on this friday would be Halloween! Should i go? Hmmm... Maybe i will go, but not dressing up and going trick or treating i think. Just going to walk around and have some fun. That would be a good idea wouldn't it? Not trick or treating means i'd be missing out on a whole lot of candy. As you can see below HAHHAHHA :O

Now i feeling so... Arghhh! i don't even know how to describe it :(

OH YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

I also feel like cutting my hair!!!!!!!!!

My current hairstyle is sooo... Messed up.. Urghhhhhhhhhhh.

Well i really really feel like cutting it all short. And without layering it, so it'll be thicker and better looking i guess.

But i'm not cutting it now though, waiting till i get back to Jakarta and let my uncle cut. He's the pro at this. Hehhehe. Maybe dye a little here and there, and viola. I'd look awesome! Wooo i cannot wait for my holiday~

Now, i can't wait for chinese&pw to be over.

I don't know what i'm talking about alrdy.

Clearly, i'm not in any mood to do anything :(

Omg, for the 1,928,276th time.

2008-10-24T21:14:00.009+08:00

Well okay. My morning didn't turn out fine.

In fact, it was horrible. Maybe even HELLL.

I shall now attempt to describe.

And i have to say this. What i'm about to describe is definitely a major understatement to the real pain i faced.

First i had cramps. You know, the monthly thing. That one i was okay with it. Like, cos i get it every month so ya.

But then!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had a stomachache too.

And so, when you put the both of them TOGETHER, you almost can imagine what happens next.

***

I was rolling around like mad.

Almost screaming my head off.

Feeling that it was never going to end.

"Someone call the ambulance?" was what i was thinking.

The pain was like getting squeezed like.. a lemon? :/

For a while the pain went away... And then it came back.

That happened over and over and over again for i-don't-know-how-long.

No exaggeration here. I actually think i'm understating.

***

And i also felt really really bad.

Because i was supposed to meet Joel at 7 to pass him my notes.

But i couldn't get out of bed so i didn't.

I feel really bad.

But i'll make it up :)

***

So i didn't go to school (which i was really looking forward to, just so you know)

And i stayed home, resting on the cushion for practically the whole day.

I also studied chinese :)

But it was VERY VERY BORING!

Tomorrow i have pw group meeting at 8am. Gotta wake up really early. And the thing is, i hope i won't have any cramps or whatsoever.

No, i definitely won't!

Yay. Let me now end with a positive note then.

I'm already feeling much much better (though i still have mild pain) But i have a heat pack resting on my stomach for better comfort :D

& now my parents agreed to let me go to poly. Best news evrr today!! (even though my dad didn't directly agree but i know he agrees)

I know that i know, pw's gonna be FUN tomorrow :)

And oh! How many pw groups do you know.. That got pretty close and even set up a blog? :) Well, proud to announce that its MY group. Hehehehe. They are awesome! You know, i almost teared when i read the posts. I'm really going to miss you guys!!

PS. I'm lovin the layout.

Like streams, it flows.

2008-10-23T14:58:00.003+08:00

I'm going through a lot right now.

& I think that IS an understatement.

I suggest you stop reading here.

You definitely won't understand, cos it is very personal.

***

I need to trust Him with all of my heart, to not lean on my own understanding.
As long as i acknowledge Him in all of my ways, He shall direct my path.

Everything has a reason. I will know, someday.

Right now, i need to focus all of my energy on Chinese, and PW.

***

Somehow, deep down inside, i know i know and i just know pops will listen to me.

I feel very very relieved mum's on my side right now. Though i miss her REALLY much, and i want to talk to her in person, i can't.

I know i'm letting them down.

But i really have to do this,

NO MATTER WHAT IT TAKES.

Else, i'd be regretting for my ENTIRE life.

I'm making no mistake about it.

***

At times i wonder why God placed me here, in jc.

And i figured out why.

Now, i can move on, the entire year wasn't a waste.

Literally yes i have actually wasted a year, but in another way, i have gained stuff that's supposed to be with me for the rest of my life. So what's a year compared to that?

***

Alright i really should be studying my chinese and chionging it right now.

I have determination on my side.

I believe i can get a B!

Afterall, God does miracles, don't you agree? :)

OMGGGGG

2008-10-23T05:30:00.000+08:00

LOOOK AT THE TIME NOWWWWW!

5.30 am!!!!

& I'm already awake.

I accidentally woke up too early and went to bath.

I didn't see the clock, i thought i'd be late.

=.=

Now i AM sleepy. But i can't fall back asleep.

Oh my goodness

:(

***

By the way, my results were pretty bad, like i "predicted" if you know what i mean. If you don't then nevermind.

H2 Maths - S
H2 Chemistry - U
H2 Economics - U
H1 History - B YAY YAY YAY! :D
Chinese - C
GP - E!!!!! :((((

I really really want to go to POLY!

Dad's having his second thoughts.

How how how?!?!?!

Sighhhhh.

Yum yumz d("-")b

2008-10-21T21:54:00.003+08:00

d("-")b YUM YUMMMMM!

Hahhaha isn't that cool. Its like our pw thing. Oh yeah, i think once again, everyone did great in today's presentation. Yay!

And FINALLYYYYYY the slides are good. I'm happy.

PS. Bee you mustn't think negative. I know you can do it :)

In fact, we all can!

***

And you know what. Tomorrow we're all going to get back our papers - the results i mean (but i'm not scared at all cos it won't really matter that much)

Nevertheless, i'm still very curious on how many marks i'll be getting.

Aiya, now i don't know what to blog about you know.

I'm like having no life!! Apart from meeting with my pw group and having tons of fun with them.

So now mostly my posts are about pw pw pw and how fun it is.

Remember last time when i used to say i hate pw?

Ironic isn't it?

I guess magic happens when we all started to meet up more often and got to know more about one another.

I used to think that i could leave JC without actually really really missing anyone.

But now its different! I'm really really going to miss everyone. Especially... Yeah, you guessed it. My dear pw group! :)

Okay okay. Now suddenly the atmosphere is like, so sentimental.

I'm getting a little tired too. Might be turning in soon :)

Good night!

Beezee.

2008-10-20T20:50:00.008+08:00

I WANT TO GO ON HOLIDAY NOW RIGHT NOWWWWW!

:(

I can't wait.

To relax, eat, shop till we all drop & enjoy pretty sceneries!

So, i'm going to save save save so that i can buy tons of things. I'm going there with one luggage. Who knows how many we're coming back with? Maybe 4? :)

For now, its pwchinesepwchinesepw and nothing else.

Someone please hit the fast forward button.

Bad turned good

2008-10-14T21:04:00.004+08:00

You know what for the past weekend i've been wasting my youth on PW's OP preparation. We had be ready by tuesday, which is, today!

We weren't really ready, but we had lotss of fun preparing for it. Like, NO STRESS! :)

Especially yesterday! HAHAHA! Damn fun you know.

And i think our efforts paid off. Personally, i think my group did great!

YAY I LOVE THEM TO BITS! :D
(Lots of awkwardness, Sia-mi-ing, OooOo-ing + inside jokes HAHAHAHAH)

As a result of all that hardcore PW-ing, it made me REALLY REALLY TIRED!

I even fell asleep during GP today!

So i'm really going to sleep early today. Its a must.

***

Mr Goh also told me that i passed maths. MATHHHSSSS! Ain't that crazy? And i only thought that would happen in my wildest dreams. If you didn't know, i finished the 3 hour paper in an hour or so. HAHAAHHAHHA.

But i don't care about promoting or not. But promoting would definitely gain me some time to spend it with my dear classmates, right?

So, everyone must promote kay i shall be praying for ya'll.

K i'll update some other time. I can't think straight now.

Gonna zonk out real soon..... BYE :D

Getaway

2008-10-10T22:54:00.004+08:00

My tickets are booked.

I'm leaving Singapore for Jakarta on 2nd Dec in the afternoon. (Special day)

Will be back on 18th Dec.

With that i'll be in Bali from 7th to 12th

:D

Lifted high

2008-10-09T22:10:00.004+08:00

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

PW's Written report handed up.

Like, finally can?! After many nights of staying awake till late and soo many drafts until i got sick of editing.

Even before handing it up we still met with complications and last minute problems.

But its no more now.

Heh, if you ask me, i feel great!

I still have an Oral presentation (OP) to handle. Its one tough cookie. But i can do it!

I'm working hard for chinese too you know, i just finished a compo. And tomorrow i'm going to stay back with teacher and classmates to revise chinese i think. It'd better pay off!

Today i'm just feeling really exhausted.

I'll tell you what took my energy away.

First, it was the fact that i've not had enough sleep since monday night.

Second, PW was frustrating. So the final submission gotta be perfect.

Third, i spent the afternoon helping mummy prepare 100+ cakes for her party (pot luck)

Last, spent a great deal of time & effort with chinese compo.

So as you can see, with all that its hard NOT to feel tired eh?

The weeks to come are going to be tougher.

I can do it! :)

K i'm gonna do my usual "i'm going to bed now"

Good night!

PS. There you go nut, i've updated :D

It doesn't get any better

2008-10-07T23:43:00.002+08:00

On the bright side, i managed to finish Eclipse in a day.

By the way, i woke up at 3am just to finish it.

Call me nutty :D

& today i just started with Breaking Dawn, 700+ pages! Impossible to finish up by today, especially with school and PW to do.

Maybe i'd wake up early in the morning again to read, when edi and jes wakes up to study, yes.

Oh and and and! I passed my chinese promo papers!!!!!

LIKE OMGZGXGX!

I got a C, hitting my target. Sweeeet. But i was only 1.2 marks away from a B!!! :(

Maybe i should amend my A Level target? Hmmmm...

Now i've just did a little of PW. Though its some light work, but the final submission's on thursday already. I feel.. so frustrated with the whole thing. Pek cek you know. Its like, really, i've had enough.

Tomorrow i learn how to bake bread yay! :)

K its like so darn late now. (Usual sleeping time's at 10)

I think i'm going to K.O.

So imma hit the sack now.

Twilight

2008-10-06T15:27:00.000+08:00

When you can live forever, what do you live for?

Cobalt blue

2008-10-06T14:30:00.003+08:00

The things that made it to my hate list

# Having school on tuesdays to end at 5pm!!!!
# Wanted to buy Eclipse but it all sold out everywhere!!!

:(

I actually had plans for tomorrow. Then when i saw the timetable, i zoomed in on tuesday, then... my jaw dropped.

ARGHHHHHHH! 5pm 5pm 5pm T__________________________T

Then after school i thought i could happily buy Eclipse. But its still not in stock. Still, i bought Breaking Dawn (before it started to sell out too) By the way, i'm talking about the Twilight series that i got crazy about. The above mentioned are the 3rd and last books respectively, to the whole saga. I'm soo tempted to read the last book now, which i just bought. Grrrrrr... I went to many places to look for it. And it just wasn't there. Oh, how my heart broke :(

ECLIPSE BETTER BE OUT WHEN I WANT TO BUY IT!!!

& oh, the movie would only be released on Dec 18 here. Meaning, i'll watch it when i come back from Jakarta yay! :D

On the bright side, i end early on monday, wednesday and thursday. So.. it isn't that bad i guess. I'm only making such a fuss cos i had plans for tomorrow! On TUESDAY!

I also made new friends during the photography enrichment thingy we had today, how cool was that?! It was pretty boring, the part where the teacher talked. But we did take a lot of pictures though, and its fun.

I'm going to take a nap right now.

I've got plans for tonight, which is, to stay up all night.

Hmm, if you ask me what i'm going to do, lets just say its for me to know and for you to find out. Hah. Okay no, i'm going to say.

I'm going to stay up reading Eclipse (edi borrowed it from a friend)

And i don't care whether i'll stay awake for tomorrow.

I'd do anything to read it, even if its staying up alone at night.

Which happens to be one of my greatest fears.

See the sacrifice there? HAHHAHHA.

K bye :)

Palace

2008-10-05T15:41:00.007+08:00

Is the grass always greener on the other side?

School's a bore & chore

2008-10-03T16:14:00.009+08:00

School was boring, like i told you yesterday.

But i did get some fun & laughing (after a long time) with huda, rani& kester while we ponned the talks. I ponned cos it really didn't matter to me.

Afterall, i know what i want :)

But in the end, we did go for it for the last hour of it. Its a three hour talk, by the way.

Then after that, i went to meet Shi Hui at lot 1. LIKE FINALLY CAN?!! Hmm, we spent a couple of hours just sitting and talking then i decided to go home.

COS MY WHOLE BODY IS ACHING! Especially my neck!

& i thought i didn't sleep well last night.

But its all thanks to the skipping yesterday.

How awesome! :(

But this just shows how much i didn't exercise. Or maybe because we all didn't warm up or did any stretching. Grr.. I hope it goes away soon.

Anyway, TGIF! (Thank God Its Friday) If you didn't know.

Cos tomorrow there's no school. Wheeeeeeeee~

It looks like i've already done quite a number of things i've wanted to do.

I give you an exciting piece of news edi told me yesterday.

Twilight - the movie, is going to come out soon!

Like, 21 November 2008 is the release date for North America.

YAY YAY YAY! I'm soo happy.

I'd definitely drag E out to watch it with me. I said drag cos there's no choice. Its a MUST. Mwahhahhahhahaha! :)

& i ~~hope~~ know it will be released here before i fly off to Jakarta.

So like that i can watch it with E, there's no running away :)

Hehehehehe.

I haven't finished reading the book yet, so i shall get back to it right now.

Ta ta~

Things fall into their places

2008-10-02T15:20:00.011+08:00

Hmm, my day yesterday was the best and yet the worst.

I know i know, contradictory right?

But seriously, how can your day get any better, after you're having so much fun, all you want to do is to get home.

And then you find out the horrid truth that.....

You have no key & you're locked outta the house.

Great.

That's what precisely happened to me, to us i mean. Yesterday.

Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeesh. Thank goodness for e& kelly though :)

It wasn't my first time too. I'm just hoping it won't happen again, i'll keep my fingers crossed.

Anyway, i went to the Istana yesterday. Open house. I like it there. Very pretty, and we took tons of pictures. I'll upload it soon, i guess.

Today, school wasn't really school. We did some games day thing. Apparently i got signed up for some group skipping rope event. I have to say its quite tiring. Skipped a total of 148 times. Which meant that the whole group has to jump over the rope before it can actually get counted. It was frustrating at first, but we got better. 148 is good.

Then i got out of school at 12.30 with honey&noelle :D

Well and for this week i also watched two movies. House Bunny & Mamma Mia. Both were okay i think. Not too bad, but not too good either.

Tomorrow we're going to have this career seminar. In my opinion its stupid because i already know what i want to do. So i'm bringing my book. Well, edi's to be exact, to read while the talk is going on. You know.. Just in case it gets a little too boring.

By the way, the book i'm reading about is AWESOME LIKE OMG!

Its called Twilight and its in series.

You really have to check it out. Cos i'm spazzing over it you see *spazzzes some more*

Edi's so engrossed that she can read one book in a day (there's 4 books in total) And it has 400+ pages. So you can see how much drawn in she is.

Ya, and its all thanks to her that i even get to read such awesome stuff.

(I have to say this before she goes, ya.. all thanks to me!)

I love twilight i love twilight i really do.

I'm about to get sucked in too. After this :D

But i'll put it down for tv tonight (i'm still that tv addict)

So.. toodles :)

PS go to the place where you know that i know where, e.
