Once upon a time/

Welcome to (a piece of my life)!
Hi people! Well, this is just something that I started to keep me posted on my life so when I look back years later when I'm grey and old, I'll still have something to remind me of the good, old days while I was still young. hahaha.. For you people who know me, I guess this would be where you can find out about how I am and stuff? yea..especially my gila gang from secondary school. We're all separated and in different parts of the world now. Studying.. I may not update it that often (so I keep saying) so, I apologize in advance.

I love ~~you~~ People.

I just realized something. You know leng chee kang? The dessert? I remember last time when I was small, my family and I used to eat leng chee kang at this stall by the seaside, usually at night. Then we'll have ikan bakar and such...*drools*

The stall's no longer there now though. We switched to this other stall in town near where my parents work. But, anyways,you know the jelly like stuff in the leng chee kang? Coz I liked it so much, and I asked my dad what it was. He said "Jellyfish". So at that time, jellyfish (or so I thought) was my most favorite food! Now, only do I realize that it isn't...

*******

I like Twitter. Addicted to it actually. I like to think of it as a supplement to my blog. In terms of that it lets me write the minute details and stuff that I don't usually include in my blog posts. Haha..

I really have to stay away from the computer..use it less. Major distraction.

I WANT TO GO FOR THE BOYS LIKE GIRLS CONCERT!!!!!

One of my friends, Sam, went for the one in KL where Nokia gave away free tix to watch them and for the first 66 people, they got to buy the new Nokia X6 32GB phone for just RM66!!!! The actual price on sale is RM2000 plus! (according to my bro) Lucky people. My bro's friend was one of them. Damn... My bro could've gone but the jam was crazy! And people were all pushing away, according to Sam. But, he said they were AWESOME.

I SO WANNA WATCH. Anyone wants to sponser me? Hahaha..jkjk.

I have a CCA. At last. Haha..Art Republic. Nice people. We had to paint the banner for Chinese New Year today. Managed to finish it! Well, almost. Just touch ups left. Cool le! We only used like 3 small bottles of red poster paint=) What a feat=D We felt so accomplished...

I think I feel comfortable in this club. Or maybe it's too soon to say? Nick asked me to join debate. While I wanted to, I didn't want to. Coz of my own fears? I don't know.

Feeling blue today. Like something isn't there.. Disappointment? Maybe... Haix...I have a chem quiz tomorrow which I am sooo unprepared for. But, I'm telling myself to look at the bigger picture. Block Test and A Levels are more important for now. Coz I'm like, riding on this Block Test to keep me here in Singapore.

Anyways, the J1 people are here already. They begin school tomorrow. Not exactly sure how many juniors I have now though..Haha..will update when I do.

Just chatted with Sara in Aussie=)

I have to do work now...

***I am reporting live from the canteen of McNair Lodge. Table Tennis corner. Cool skills being shown. Farnee stuff! Balls dropping into the longkang. Hilarious commentating. Fun stuff=)

*****

Now it's our own KUNG FU PONG!!!!=DDDD

Yea..

Product of us Malaysian's boredom. Ain't we people great?

Basically, it's your everyday ping pong, but instead of bats, we use...HANDS!! So, when you hit the ball, it looks like you're doing kung fu! Ingenious, huh? It's not as easy as it seem ok? It takes a lot of skills and control of strength.

I'm re-posting this from Eva's blog coz it really like, reminds me, us who are living out here in Singapore of what really matters coz I find myself confused and lost, somewhat. Or maybe it's just me.

Here goes:

The Mayo Jar (also from THE GREAT PHILOSOPHER EVA - she like got so much inspiration this time, eh!)

When things in your life seem , almost too much to handle,
When 24 Hours in a day is not enough,
Remember the mayonnaise jar and 2 cups of coffee.

A professor stood before his philosophy class
And had some items in front of him.
When the class began, wordlessly,
He picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar
and proceeded to fill it with golf balls.

He then asked the students, if the jar was full.
They agreed that it was.

The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured
them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly.
The pebbles rolled into the open Areas between the golf balls.

He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.

The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar.
Of course, the sand filled up everything else.
He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous 'yes.'

The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively
filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.

'Now,' said the professor, as the laughter subsided,
'I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life.
The golf balls are the important things - family,
children, health, Friends, and Favorite passions –
Things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, Your life would still be full.

The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, house, and car.

The sand is everything else --The small stuff.

'If you put the sand into the jar first,' He continued,
'there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls.
The same goes for life.

If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff,
You will never have room for the things that are important to you.

So...

Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness.
Play With your children.
Take time to get medical checkups.
Take your partner out to dinner.

There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal.

'Take care of the golf balls first --
The things that really matter.
Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.'

One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented.

The professor smiled.
'I'm glad you asked'.

It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem,
there's always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend.'

Please share this with other "Golf Balls"
I just did.......

Hahas..I copied this from Eva's blog. Lazy to type out. Heh...

Did you ever wonder if your life was actually you life in itself? Like this life that you are currently living is actually just a chapter in your book of life and that there is actually another you in another chapter of the book living another life - better or worse? Haha..Just used to wonder. lol

Maybe after I die, I will be transported to another chapter to live another life and to another chapter and so on..Do you get me? Man, I'm confused too. Hows about, maybe that other chapter is the afterlife that we think that is actually another life and so on..

Okayy...it's too complicated. My thoughts are in a jumble..

And then, there's this show, Two and a Half Men where there's this episode where Charlie (the lead) goes to one of his many, girlfriend's house for dinner and then, he had to babysit her son. And her son wanted to pee, but didn't want to pee (does this make sense?). So, Charlie made up this story about there being a village in the toilet bowl that's on fire and he's the giant that has come to put it out. The kid managed to pee in the end, btw. Ya..So, maybe we are the villagers in the toilet bowl and when it rains, it's actually......

Anyways, moving on, I sometimes wonder if we could actually remove our faces or have different faces like the different iPod covers. So that if we get embarrassed, we can like switch faces so then, people won't recognize you! =D

Like the Chinese saying : Wo de lian bu zhi dao tiu dao na li qu! (Dunno whether correct onot..but anyways...) which means my face dunno throw go where..Hahahaha

Coz I watched this movie a long time ago, when I was still in primary school I think. It's called Face Off starring John Travolta and Nicholas Cage (I think). It's about this 2 guys, one's the good guy, and one's the bad guy, then for dunno what, they had an operation to swap faces (Dunno why. I forgot the whole story. It was soooooo soooooo incredibly super duper uber long ago. Go online and check since you already are. I lazy.) and then, they fight fight fight, and then..forgot liao.

[And then, here, at this instant, people will go "Dushhhh" For example, Miss Eva Seow, if she still reading my blog. Lol...Caesar would probably be laughing his head off in KI class. Supposed to do work go read my blog pulak. Then Nick will just go HA. Like he did. Today.]

Anyways, was just thinking if can do that. Coz I seem to face embarrassment alot. I dunno where to put my face! Ha. No, not because of people conning me. But, because of more serious embarrassing stuff. Like in my previous post where I said I could die of embarrassment.

Caesar just brought to my attention about my previous post where I said that Ankush was going back. I would now like to rectify this mistake. HE CONNED ME AT THE TIME. So I really thought he not coming back. Then, later, he said I conning you coz I was bored. =.=...

Anyways, yes, Ankush is still here, his head shaven. Pear and mouse. Milo boy=)

I didn't know it was illegal to clean shave your head here (Singapore). Said it's like you're promoting Nazism or something like that. =.=

Adelyn's coach wants to overwork her. Her knee pain oso still wan her to train. WTF? Ha. Hit balls. WTH..

Finally got How I Met Your Mother Season 4 & 5!!!! Yay! More Barney nonsense=D

Tomorrow's E-learning day. It's the one day where the school's shut and we are supposed to learn from home through the internet. Teachers would upload online lectures and videos and quizzes for us to do. We just treat it like a holiday. Going out for a movie tomorrow, in fact. Except that, teachers think we students can do alot of work in a day, so they give so much of homework. Like as if we no need time to learn and absorb new things like that. =.= Ya, we are like sponges or portable hard drives with alot of space to install new things!

Anyways, I think that's all for now...

Oh ya! Peng Soon came to visit us yesterday! He dyed his hair! It's like a brownish shade. Like Ah Beng. Haha..

Said he's bored of dance already. Lol...said the classes at his studio was boring but since they give free classes so he take lo. Then, coz his studio's at Tanjung Pagar and he stays in Khatib, so he takes lika an hour to get there. And he gets home at around 12am every night. Poor Peng Soon..all in the name of dance. He says he gonna wait for the auditions for the Hong Kong Dance thingy (I forgot what the name of the school is). Hope you'll get it Peng Soon!

Oh! Oh! We conned one of the juniors that Peng Soon was in NS and that he was a PR! Haha..

Yea...that's about it, I guess.

Oh! And I accidentally acknowledged myself as an idiot today. (No, I am NOT!..maybe sometimes, but still! NOT!)

Till then!

Unrehearsed (Jesse McCartney)

I try to find words that escape me

Poetic lines to tell you how I felt

But anytime I try to say something clever

It doesn't ever

Find its way to your heart

Think I'm playing a part

I could write down the things I would say

Search for the right words to sweep you away

But you might misunderstand

If you think it sounds planned

So I'd rather you hear it from me first

Unrehearsed

Although I might

Stutter and stumble

I look in your eyes

And speak from my soul

Not afraid of a love that's not perfect

Cause in the end it's all worth it

No need to spell this thing out

Girl I'mma tell you right now

I could write down the things I would say

Search for the right words to sweep you away

But you might misunderstand

If you think it sounds planned

So I'd rather you hear it from me first

Unrehearsed

The battle has begun. People keep asking me why I am studying even after MSAs. They don't know my situation. It kinda requires me to study even after MSAs.

Our juniors are here already: Lyn Ton, Hong Shen, Adrian, Damian and one more which I kinda forgot his name. Hahas..sorries!

Yeap. 5 Malaysian direct juniors this year. 3 lesser than my year. There are 4 Indian juniors this year compared to 4 last year. But this year, there's lesser overall total of directs from Malaysia.

Yea...one of them hasn't really given us the best impression of him yet. We were debating on Malaysian politics last night and boy, was his view on this matter warped. Of, course, I wasn't part of it. Silent listener as usual. Shubh joined in also. Had some 2 hours of debating. Joanne! You should've been here!

Nothing really interesting happened this week. Other than me getting conned again about the rugby Kiwi Cup being a competition to eat kiwis. Thanks a lot Aaron and Nick. Don't laugh if you read this. Not funny. Ha.

Still contemplating if I should join another CCA. I know my SGC's gonna look like shit.

date/time Tuesday, January 19, 2010,10:57 PM

I started my day with the word S***. What a way to start my day.

Why? MSAs that's why.

I was supposed to wake up at 4.30am to do some last minute mugging. I vaguely remember waking up to switch my phone alarm off. I have no idea why I went back to bed after that. I only remember waking up and saying S*** because it was time to get ready for school and I did not have time to study certain stuff. Like to read KI, for example.

Then, after assembly, it got worse. Caesar came and told me that today's KI paper was the critical thinking part where we had to bring in knowledge about the topic into the argument unlike the usual ones that we do where we can't bring in external info to the argument. Great. All I had was the night's reading where I half-asleep-edly went through Wikipedia, and I didn't even go through the entire section. (Wikipedia is AWESOME, btw.)

Anyways, can't do anything much but go for the exams and try to blaaaa out as much as I can with the little knowledge on the subject that I had.

Maths was also screwed. Lol...so's Chem and Bio....Aiya! Everything la!

But, for BT 1, Carey will be prepared. She has drafted a battle plan to kill and the process starts now. Yes, NOW. No more later, or the next day. NOW.

A thousand million apologies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Need music to get this off my mind. Shit. Even music not helping.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

date/time 6:49 AM

You took my hand
You showed me how
You promised me you'd be around
Uh huh
That's right
I took your words
And I believed
In everything
You said to me
Yeah huh
That's right

If someone said three years from now
You'd be long gone
I'd stand up and punch them up
Cause they're all wrong
I know better
Cause you said forever
And ever
Who knew

Remember when we were such fools
And so convinced and just too cool
Oh no
No no
I wish I could touch you again
I wish I could still call you friend
I'd give anything

When someone said count your blessings now
For they're long gone
I guess I just didn't know how
I was all wrong
They knew better
Still you said forever
And ever
Who knew

Yeah yeah
I'll keep you locked in my head
Until we meet again
Until we
Until we meet again
And I won't forget you my friend
What happened

If someone said three years from now
You'd be long gone
I'd stand up and punch them out
Cause they're all wrong and
That last kiss
I'll cherish
Until we meet again
And time makes
It harder
I wish I could remember
But I keep
Your memory
You visit me in my sleep
My darling
Who knew
My darling
My darling
Who knew
My darling
I miss you
My darling
Who knew
Who knew

The week's nearly over. I'm nearly exhausted. Who knew the first week in Singapore is full of homework and research papers to be completed. Not to mention a test next week! FIRST WEEK ONLY YOU KNOW!!!!!

Sometimes I wonder if I should have come here. But then again, I'm glad I came here. Lolness...

My KI IS proposal is due tomorrow for Mrs Goh to check over the weekend and pass it back to us the following week. Decided to do it based on the Allah controversy thingy. Should language be owned by a group of people? Something like that. Hope it works out. Don't wanna have to go figure out another topic!

Somehow, it made me more motivated in reading the newspaper. I even surprised myself! It just hit me how much I have been online checking the news and reading the newspaper in school. (JSUK, I was never a person who would read the newspaper unless my mum tells me to. Otherwise, I would just read it for the sports or entertainment or to check movie times and horoscope.) Lol...

Studying Chem now..dunno why it's so hard for me to just memorize the few Organic Reactions. Grrr... I have to ask Erika.

Dinner tomorrow with my aunt at Tiong Bahru!!! Ramen, japanese pancakes, gyoza blaaaaa....*drools* ^^

I have to now tag every one of my clothes myself so that the laundry person will not put marker pen marks on my beloved clothings (which they already did btw, on some of it).

I feel homesick. It's weird.

Ahhhhh...I want "lad du" Shubh!!!!

Okayyy...time to call Erika for advise. Dying here. Really don't wanna get sent back.

date/time Tuesday, January 12, 2010,8:08 AM

Ahhh...the second day of school. How I wish time would slow down. Or stop, even. Everything's a mess. I'm a mess. A train wreck. And no one can pick me up again but myself. My silly old self. I don't know why I'm such a blur. Sheesh..my future's as good as blur now too. Cloudy and dark. The clouds doesn't seem to want to lift anytime soon. A rainstorm's approaching.

Why am I typing this?

date/time Monday, January 11, 2010,7:59 AM

LUE results out tomorrow...damn scared. I really hope I passed at the very least lo...I mean, I really studied during the hols...

Was out settling YFC stuff just now. Had to go all the way to Tampines. Finally. A load off my mind. I'll be able to concentrate on my studies more. After all, it's what I'm here for.

What's been said even at a moment's spur makes people feel rotten inside.

I feel rotten.

******

I have never missed home this much before since I first came here last year.

Shing Yee! You'll be happy to know that I have learnt to let go. It's not my business anyway. I mean, I did what I can and what I could. The rest is up to fate? Lol... I'm actually getting tired of having to think so much and stuff. So, I just let go. It's very taxing and tiring. TIRING. My head's about to burst. It's time I stopped. Or slowed down. Which is what I'm working towards.

******

I miss having seniors around...Shing Yee, Joanne, Peng Soon just to name a few. The canteen's so much emptier without you guys! Now everyone's practically in their rooms 24/7.

But, then again, A LEVELS...ughhh..

I have to buck up. Prove people wrong. Fulfill my mission.

******

I like my new IKEA decor. Hehehe...I got this breakfast in bed table thingy that I can do work on, so now I can do work on my bed :D Wheee...Greeen colour worr :D

And a floor mat, rug thingy. Black and red. Adds a professional feel to my table. Neater too. I have resolved to keep my table spick and span throughout the year.

******

Taylor Swift is sooo soothing to my soul right now. I'm referring to the new songs on her Fearless Platinum edition.

Today's discipline talk by Mr Stanley Ong was really thought-provoking.

Self-disciplining is about doing what you don't want to do in order to achieve something you really want.

Well, in my case, or, well, most of us, it's studies.

Shoots. Just realized I have work attachment essay to write. Reflections. Sheesh.

And KI research!!!!!

GOSH...I HOPE I HAVE THE STRENGTH TO LAST THE YEAR!!!!

date/time Tuesday, January 5, 2010,6:48 AM

AHHHHHHHH...KI IS!!! Omg... Eva..High 5 la.. I also got sort of like the review thingy like yours but mine is more of research paper=.= DYINGGG

*Note to self : Never EVER leave homework to the last minute and think that you can cram it in one week. Especially with a research paper.

Ah well, here I am wasting time blogging. But anyways, trying to think of a topic to write about. Gosh..how hard this is. Ishhh...

I'm still stuck with homework for all my four subjects.

Gila EPICness.

Too bored. Brain not processing properly. Eva, maybe I need to get electrocuted also XP

Kidding.

date/time Monday, January 4, 2010,12:30 AM

Well, I'm back in Singapore. Lots of very =.= changes going on. First, the laundry system. Now we have to frickin pay to use the washing machine and dryer. $1 each machine. Then, now, we won't get our laundry back from laundry service with hangars. It's now folded. But better yet! You should have heard how the manager was promoting the new system "You don't have to work like a mule." Mule? Work? How hard is it to do laundry? The only thing you have to do is to just dump them in the washing machine and then the dryer. Zzz..

Anyways, have been assigned to Joanne and Shing Yee's former room:) Coincidentally, I was assigned Shing Yee's bed! But I wanted the bottom bunk. Lols..Had to take the one near the toilet. I will have only 4 roommates this year=) Extra space!

What a bummer...the lockers in the laundry room are all taken up=(

The guys' block is no longer the guys' block. It's now the girls'. The guys are shifted to the backest of the hostel. Haha..

I miss my Sec school canteen food. Bubur kankung! With lots of kangkung and sambal without the ikan bilis=D Yumm...

Thank God the pool's not demolished yet. Otherwise we kena cari new place to karaoke. Lols..

Pretty much everything's the same. More Cedar girls now. My cousin's one of them=)

Nothing much to say liao. Just an update. Lols...

Can't wait for everyone to be back!=DDD

I got scared and paranoid yesterday night. Lols. Thanks to Nick and his stories...

Tambahan pula, shower head dripping, tap dripping...
