I wrote this for Ankush out of pity for his hectic schedule and the lack of time he has to do his homework because of cricket training. (He keeps emphasizing on how they beat NJC today.lols) Haha..his essay was due Monday and he (me)'s only doing it now. Lols...

Anyways, I had wanted to do one post on friendship before (There Ankush goes again "I'm damn happy we won the match XD). I just never got round to doing it. Maybe it's because I was waiting for the right time and mood to blog. I do that. There will be times when I feel, somehow, more emotional and have self-reflections? (no, not emo.) That, I find, is my peak for blogging. Hahas. More flow of ideas. It just comes naturally.

So, here's what I wrote. This shall be like, my first so-called draft. I'll come up with a better one next time. At the right time. Hahas.

Here goes:

Friends. What does a friend mean to you? To me, it means someone who makes me happy when I’m sad, picks me up, dusts me off and helps me get back on my feet when I fall. A friend helps me in my studies, taking time off his or her hectic schedule to teach me, shares the fun times together, even the sad, and is always there to console me. A friend is someone who gives me confidence; gives me the power to believe in myself. A friend does not judge me despite my many mistakes and flaws. A friend is not afraid to tell me where I went wrong, with no fear that they would hurt my feelings, because we are already so familiar with each other, it feels like they’re family; brothers and sisters. Friends, always looking out for one another and being considerate of each other. That’s what a friend means to me.

Now, what does Friendship Week mean to me? It’s an opportunity for me to show my appreciation of how much I treasure them. How much I enjoy being their friend. To tell them I’m sorry for waking them up by making loud noises, or embarrassing them in public, unintentionally, all in good fun. To say I’m sorry for not being there when they needed me the most. For not being sensitive enough to tell that they’re in an emotional crisis. To tell them how much I like going to the movies and eating Subway with them; for every free moment that we spend together talking just about anything and being crazy. To tell them how much I love them (no, not in the romantic way, of course) and how honored I am to be their friend.

My friends, I may not bring you balloons and flowers, or chocolates and cookies. But, I will show you how much you mean to me, and what our friendship really is. For I believe that our friendship transcends that of physical gifts, to that of thought. As they say, it’s the thought that counts. And today, I would like to say a big THANK YOU for always tolerating some of my silly, old habits and for always being there for me. Fair-weathered friends are only there for the good times and gone during the bad. I am glad to say that my friends are not those of that nature and that I am glad to have known them.

I'm blogging from a Mac!!! No, sad to say, I don't have one, actually. Would like one though (at this point, Ankush would be giving me a smirk and a thumbs up, then mock me. Together with Nick. Cause he just got a Mac too.) Buuu..

Chem Kinetics test tomorrow. Lecture test. I think if I keep up this pace of studying, I would be able to make it, I hope. Heh..Hard to say still. Must practice doing more questions. Thank God only two chapters are coming out for bio. Hahaha...

Ankush's batt is running out. This would be a short post, then! Maybe if I'm not too sleepy, I will blog later. Hahas.

Aaron's doing calculations based on rock, paper, scissors. Lol...his H3. Too pro.

Ta!

I like Chocolate Love=)))) by Girls Gen. Heh =)

Supposed to be dated 14th February 2010.

I lost the previous post supposed to be dated the 13th of Feb. But anyways,...

Went out with Eva and Serene in the morning. Watched Percy Jackson. Liked the whole Greek Gods thing. Like God Of War(the playstation game). Did some catching up over lunch. Eva and Jasmynn finish their course this June and are going to visit Serene in Perth then! During WINTER!!! Shoots! And I can't get to go:( Buuu...

Had a wonderful reunion dinner yesterday at Grand Straits View. Saw my cousin Erika who was studying in KL after like half a year of not seeing her. Liked the dress she wore:) Great food too!

Today I woke up with a sore throat and runny nose:/ and it's the fist day of the new year.

Visited my grandma's place in the morning as we usually do. Played Band Hero and Lego Rock Band. My bros and cousin then played Modern Warfare 2. Lols..The rest of the time, I spent watching MTV for updates on new songs. Got a ton to download when I get my internet back in Singapore. See how deprived of the music scene I am in Singapore? Hahas..kidding. I have another music junkie there to keep me up to date:)
Relatives came-a-knockin' in the afternoon.

Went to the temple in the afternoon. Saw a couple of guys trying to be Korean. The whole dying their hair blonde and the white suits when the weather is so freakin hottt.

Played fireworks and firecrackers at night. Awesome sh...stuff;) The neighbours lit a paper lantern and it left floating wherever the wind took it.

I can feel the house vibrating from the explosion of fireworks and my dad runs out every now and then, calling us to see the fireworks display the rich people in the neighbourhood were playing. It's like burning money away..hehe..but for a good occasion;)

I sooo love Katy Perry. Her song with Timbaland "If we ever meet again" is like superglued in my head right now. I like her pink lipstick in her Starstruckk music vid. Looks sweet:)

Well, that's all folks! Next time, I'll be blogging from Singapore. Till then!
Au Revior!

2010-02-15T23:50:00.000-08:00

Well, I am back in JB for the Chinese New Year holidays:D

Nothing much to say actually, except that my internet's down and I can't tweet, plurk or blog:/ ish..This post is actually intended for the 12th of February but since,no internet, I'm only posting it now when my bro's not home and his internet's available=)

Had CNY celebration in school. (I can't believe how I was still in school in the morning and now I'm at home!!!). I was so awed by the concert band:D I think I will start liking this genre of music very soon. Haha.. The teachers danced to Nobody (that darned song again!). Very entertaining:D Kudos to the House COuncillors who organized the event!!

Also, we had to decorate our homeroom (D301) today as part of a contest to see whose homeroom was the nicest. It was really a class bonding time. I learnt how to fold origami roses and lotus flowers from Tricia. Oh! and we were blasting music from my iPod in the classroom via the class loudspeaker XD. I'll bet the other classes were jealous! Haha! Entertainment while working man!

After it all, we had Yee Sang (Lou Hei? - I don't know what that means cause I usually just call it Yee Sang. Hahas..different dialect maybe? Hokkien?)

Went out with Ankush yesterday to PS to get a Valentine's Day gift for my secret friend (Grace). Bought a ceramic cat and put it in a red bucket made of that furry material which was red and had little white and red hearts around it. Kawaii neh XD

Also, saw this other bag at a shop called The Box. It's white, but not like pure white, and it was only like $39 something, I think. But I need second opinions before I decide on which bag to buy!!! NICKKKKK!!!! (Refer to previous post where I mentioned Zara bag!)

Found out who my secret friend was today. It was Sharan:) She got me this cute little notebook:) Love it.

This week was Friendship Week. SC started selling colourful helium balloons and flowers and had song dedications in the canteen. It was pretty cool especially since the floating balloons livened up the school as if they were dancing, bopping to the beat of the music and the wind. It made lectures more interesting because we can how many balloons people got:) I didn't get one though..although, I would've liked one. Hahas..

Btw, thanks, Kevin for your "sacrifice":) I think you'll be bombarded with tons of questions when we get back to school.

Anyways, I think the school should put up a loudspeaker system thingy to play music throughout school for us to enjoy while we're breaking from classes. It'd be kinda cool:), well, for some of us.

Aaron and Ravjit said they going to Geylang today to see how the "people" operate. I think they're just kidding. Or maybe they just go there for supper. I think they'd most probably hit the clubs instead? Lol...but I later asked Aaron and he said they were at Yassin. Hahah..

My Converse shoes are in a really bad state. The cloth on both sides are torn and you can see my socks and wriggly toes:) Ajay said that Converse shoes are meant to look like that. The rugged look. Lol..But, I can't stand the rubber chips getting into my shoes from PE-ing in the new rugby pitch (although the rubber chips still get into my shoes even if I wear my NB pair XP). I just need a new pair of sneakers!!!

Going out to CS tomorrow (13th Feb) with Eva and Serene. We gonna watch a movie and then have a "reunion lunch" together. Jasmynn's back in Terengganu and we can't get to tease her about her LALAT scandal. Hahahah! But I bet she's been tortured enough by Eva when she's in KL.

Oh! I ate at Nando's for the first time just now! My mum and bros and I had a full chicken. The Peri-Peri Spicy sauce and Garlic sauce rocked! XD

It's good to be back:)

2010-02-10T09:32:00.000-08:00

Gonna try how to embed Twitter into my blog. Hahas. I think it would be fun=) But that means that I may have too change my blogskin again..Siens...I'm too lazy to go blogskin hunting. I take very super-dee-duper long just to pick something that I would like. So, as far as possible, I would try to maintain this one=) I like it!

2010-02-10T02:36:00.000-08:00

I think it's been quite awhile since I last blogged. Busy, I guess. Chinese New Year's coming up!

Doesn't feel like it here though..maybe coz family's not around. No baking of pineapple tarts; sweet smell of freshly churned pineapple filling wafting through the air as more and more trays of melt-in-your-mouth pineapple tarts are being made. I miss home.

Lucky Caesar's already back in Penang. Adelyn's going back tomorrow. The rest of us on Friday.

I was super-dee-duper happy yesterday!!=D Why? Coz I went out shopping! For CNY of course, but, disappointing..all the sales I saw previously were no more. I exchanged my old pair of Diesel jeans for $50 off my new pair at Levi's=D

The bag I wanted which was about 50% off before is now at normal price. I can't afford it! Silly me. Didn't buy earlier...wanted to wait... But I saw this other awesomely cute bag at Zara! There's a orangey-red one and a black one=D I need second opinion though...(---> NICK!!!!)

The only thing I got here to remind me of CNY is the container of prawn rolls (He bi hiam) that my mum brought the other week. Seriously addictive.

Can't wait for the reunion dinner though! FOOOOOD. Yumm..

Not enough money to buy the Cotton On top that I want liao=( Buu..

*******

My class is exchanging gifts on Friday for Valentine's Day. Each of us are getting something from each other but we won't know who the other person is XD Fun, huh? Even Mr Liang's involved in it=)

*******

Am I just chasing your shadow? The never ending chase...I can never get hold of you.

*******

Today was CCA sign up day for the J1s. I was at the IOTA booth. We only achieved half our target=( [We aimed to get at least 50 people to sign up, according to Shengren, but only had 25. The interact booth seemed to have a lot of sign ups though! Feng shui, maybe? XD]

Pinned button badges all over Anjney's shirt. Now he's got a holey shirt! Holey as opposed to holy, get it?=D No? Nevermind...

We think it scared people off XD

Kidding...

I thought the canoeing team and water polo team were damn cute in promoting their CCA. They went round the school shouting "CANOEING! WATER POLO! CANOEING! WATER POLO!" alternatively, by their respective members, of course. ODAC and Track and Field followed suit after that XD

Tricia and Lisa cosplay-ed to attract people to join Art Republic. They looked damn different! I thought Tricia's costume was cute=)

******

Whaddya want from me?!?!?!

*******

It's time to stop. To stop being childish and grow up.

********

Where are you know
When I need you the most
Why don't you take my hand,
I wanna be close
Take my hand and walk with me

Where are you now?
When nothing's going right
Where are you now
I can't see the light
So take my hand and walk with me

Show me what to be
I need you to set me free

Where are you now
Now that I'm half grown
Why are we far apart
I feel all alone

Where are you now
When nothing's going right
Where are you now
I can't see the light

I wonder..is there anyone in this world who is non-judgmental?

This year's gonna be really a trying one..I guess.."I don't like her," or "I don't like his attitude".."He's too anti-social".."I don't like how he acts".

It's only been like 3 weeks since the juniors came. The same amount of time for people to know each other.. But, it's kinda sad. People are already disliking each other. Why? Does first impression = lasting impression? For most of us, it is..I guess. But is it fair? I heard about juniors complaining about each other. "I don't like him. He uses vulgar words when he talks.." "He's too immature at times"..."The way he acts is very rude."

Being ostracized. Why? He's too smart? Too stiff? Not like us? He's different? Weird? How?

I wish I could talk to him. Find out how he feels. He must be lonely. Never out of the room. Roommates disliking him.

I wish I could tell him to not be so bold. To be more humble. To know when to stop. To be polite.

I try my best not to be so judging of others. But, maybe I'm just being idealistic here. It certainly is difficult to not judge people.

I think that people just act the way they act right now because they don't know how to act in a new environment. Foreign. Not knowing anyone. Trying to be cool. But its effect backfiring.

But then again, we can't save everyone. And I'm being judgmental by judging others too.

So there.

*These are just random pieces of thoughts strung together.. It doesn't have to make sense.*

2010-02-05T09:34:00.000-08:00

Late night McD!!! It's been so long since we last did that...I'm only bringing this up because the Indians (no racism intended), just ordered McD Delivery. At 12.30 am. So, I'm kinda feasting on fries right now. Okayy..Not so much feasting as nipping fires being offered :) I don't exactly want to be fat, you know. Especially with Chinese New Year just around the corner :DDDD

I just realized that since we've been back, we haven't exactly been hanging out by the pool (Yes! Not once yet!) Emo...no karaoke sessions yet.

Instead, we've been too caught up with studies (And KI IS!!!) I think I'm giving the juniors a bad impression. Lol...That their seniors are muggers. Wth..And they all seem smarter and more knowledgable than us when we first came! Or maybe it's just me.

Listening to Big Bang's Haru Haru right now..Go listen to this!!!

Math consultation tomorrow. 10am...Sienz..But I must go for my own good! Except that I have no idea what I'm gonna ask her. I mean, I want her to teach me from scratch. Back to basics since my foundation ain't exactly strong in the first place. But...pai seh le!!! That's why I rarely ask questions and stuff in tutorials. Cause I'm a slow learner and need like lots of time to absorb and master a certain new thing unlike my fellow fast-learning classmates. So, I'm scared to ask questions in class because I may slow down the pace of the class. That's why I just sit quietly and be dumb. Probably the cause of my downfall, I guess. (Not guess! It's confirmed!!!)

And because I sit next to Bao, Arien, Khin and Tam, they occasionally pose me questions about what the teacher explained or tutorial questions. Although I am flattered that they do not think me that dumb to ask me questions, I usually get tongue-tied as to what I should say. Hence, the easiest escape route : "I don't know". Even though I may know the answers at times, I'm just not confident in myself to give them a definite one. I mean, what if I teach them the wrong thing? Wouldn't it be worse? Sorry guys. I have inferiority complex.

But, then again, if I never ask, I may never improve, much less move forward. Tomorrow's consultation is just teh first baby step into being resilient.

Speaking of resilience, we just had that for ME lessons today. Go search for this guy Nick Vijucic (if I didn't spell his name wrongly) on Youtube. Really, truly makes us be thankful for what we have and to be resilient in our lives, come what may. There are 3 kinds of people: Quitters, Campers and Climbers.

Resilience is about overcoming adversities. I used to equate it to perseverence, but I just found out that these two words actually mean different things! (How silly of me to only recognize it now, some of you might think.) Perseverence is about trying to "tahan" the current situation and just wait it out (campers), but resilience is about overcoming obstacles (climbers). To move forward. Not just staying in a spot. Sometimes, we just got to let some things go and prioritize. I want to be a climber! I want to climb that mountain that weighs me down so much; to conquer it and say "I am the champion!" It would feel so good to find out that you have finally challenged and overcome your limits. To know that you can achieve something as ling as you set your mind to it.

Maybe I'm just saying it. Just to sound like so "keng" like that. Haha.. But I have to do this. In the name of self-fulfillment.

You should too.

2010-01-28T23:14:00.000-08:00

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.

2010-01-27T04:42:00.000-08:00

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...

2010-01-25T04:49:00.000-08:00

***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.

2010-01-25T03:07:00.000-08:00

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.......

2010-01-25T03:06:00.000-08:00

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

2010-01-25T02:22:00.000-08:00

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.

2010-01-19T22:57:00.000-08:00

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.

2010-01-15T08:39:00.001-08:00

Omg..I CAN JUST DIE OF EMBARRASSMENT!!!!!!! Shit, damn paiseh now. Arghhhhhhhhh........My head like gonna explode of embarrassment and paiseh-ness....

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

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

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

2010-01-15T06:49:00.000-08:00

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

Pink---Who Knew

This is currently the song stuck in my head. Haha

2010-01-14T05:16:00.000-08:00

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.

2010-01-12T08:08:00.000-08:00

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?

2010-01-11T07:59:00.000-08:00

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!!!!

2010-01-05T06:48:00.000-08:00

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.

2010-01-04T00:30:00.000-08:00

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...

2009-12-31T08:29:00.000-08:00

Happy New Year everyone! A new day [year] has come (Celine Dion).lol..

I guess most of you are probably out celebrating the new year with friends and family at some massive countdown party watching tonnes of fireworks and booze. Haha..or sodas maybe.

Me?

Silent celebration. Just dinner with my cousins. Pleasant. And watching TV fireworks. lol. And running out to see if I could see the fireworks at Danga Bay from my house (we can usually see it). But not tonight I guess. So, it was back to being contented with just TV fireworks from Marina Bay, Singapore. Tried switching to Malaysian channels. TV1,2,3. No sign of any countdowns. I wonder why. Saw something on TV2 (I think) about some 2010 thing. Wasn't interesting. Back to Channel 5.

My whole household's practically asleep as I am typing this. And when I am done, Gossip Girl Season 3!!! hahahah...

I can't believe someone's actually got to the point where she is criticizing my ex-school's principal over the internet! Wow...How things have changed. And I thought my batch was giving them more than enough trouble. lol.. And might I just add that her standard of English is not too good?

Well, I'm done for now. Happy New Year again people! :)

2009-12-29T00:02:00.000-08:00

Well, guess this is the last few days I'll be spending at home before
I return to schooling and the fast paced life in Singapore. Being at
home really made me find myself again. Amidst all the tension, drama
and everything else in between, I was really choking there and I
constantly ask myself if I was the girl I once was before I came. I
mean, being there really opened my eyes to new things. Different
people, different characters. A whole new pond. I guess I just got
influenced. I sort of became someone I no longer was. And I don't
think I can ever be the person I was before. But coming back made me
try to be that person again; find that person again.
Although this past few weeks were tolerable, what with my obligations
to study and constant nagging and resrticions and all, I am glad to be
home. Especially so during these few days when I'm so close to going
back to Singapore again. No, I'm not saying that I don't want to go
back there. I have made new friends, the kind of friends that you
could only have after many years if knowing each other. Friends to
share stories with, late night snacking, karaoke by the pool, late
night movies and discussions, the long mugging hours, shopping
buddies, mamak-ing. Yeah, life in Singapore is great. Nic, Ravjit,
Caesar, Aaron, Adelyn, Shubh, Kevin, Ankush, Ajay, Anjney, Sue Sann. My seniors
Shing Yee, Joanne, Peng Soon... I love you guys man!! Thanks for
always having my back.
But coming back sees me hanging out like old times, seeing Kar Inn in
KL, although we couldn't talk as much as we had liked to, it was great
seeing you again, with Eugene:) And Eva, Jasmynn, Erika, Rachel,
Adeline, Jia Yi. You guys made me crazy all over again! Although the
time we spent together was short, it was sweet:)
I can't wait to be back in Singapore as much as I like being home.
A fresh new year awaits. And I have a mission to fulfill.

XOXO

( Gossip Girl influenced XD )

Which reminds me, I have to get started on listing out my new year's
resolution. Tik tok!

2009-12-23T07:36:00.000-08:00

This would be my first post back in JB.

Home Sweet Home.

Just went out to the movies with Adeline and Jia Yi and Erika. Avatar. What a show! The graphics were really cool! Especially the plants! Gosh..that was like being in this picture that I always wanted to paint but never got to it. Like a fantasy world. Imaginative. Exciting.

Well, what have I been up to? Let's see...

Went up to Genting on the 11th Dec. Cool X'mas decos. Went for the Haunted Adventure first. My cousins, brother(Aaron, Bryan was too scared. Too bad. Won't see him wet his pants! XP) and me.We had to put on the pair of 3D glasses which we didn't because, well, we were wearing glasses already and it kept falling off. Too bad. Missed out some of the 3D scary effects. WE went in as a group together with two other adults. We made the guy go first. Scared? A lil? Haha...

Much of the scary part of it is due to the loud noises and sudden actions like poking their faces from behind the walls and stuff. We were trying to laugh all the way to lighten the mood. haha..worked in a way. Towards the end though, because there were about 3 people scaring us at the same time, we all were shocked and panicked and there was pushing and I fell down. Bumped my head. Ouch.

Then, we went to the Ripley's Exhibition. Cool stuff.

After that, we went to the Flying Coaster. While it was going up, I was like "Shit! SHit! I shouldn't have come for this, I shouldn't have come for this! *Scream!!!*

Yea.. Awesome though, but my eyes were closed half the time. Hehe...

Parents bought sweet potato that was like a total rip off. RM13 for one sweet potato =O

After that, I think I was woozy from the bump to my head. Slept and woke up just as dinner was about to be over. Lol..we were steamboating.

At night, went down to the lounge of the hotel to play pool and drink cocktails. Taste like medicine. Eww...lol

Din play pool though. Was watching the live band.

The next day, we...were supposed to go to the theme park, but they decided, oh! Let's go arcade instead. So, we went there, got cheated and we left for KL. Ironic. Went to Genting. But no theme park visit =.=

So, went down to KL, 1U, then went back the next day.

The rest of the week? Study. Chem LUE. 5th Jan. Ish..

Went up to KL on the 18th. Met up with Rav and Nick. Rav picked me up form 1U. Then, picked up Nick. Had lunch at Asia Cafe (the one near Taylor's Subang) Went to Sunway Pyramid. Originally, wanted to go Sunway Lagoon dry park. But, thanks to my curfew, it's a no-go...Sorry guys!

Anyways, wanted to watch a movie. Avatar. Full house. Sheesh...Was packed that day. Awal Muharram. Roads were jam packed too. Wanted to play bowling; there was a Milo Youth Championship or something there. Lanes were fully booked. Ice -skating? Rav has this phobia. So, decided to go back and chill at his house instead. Besides, his mum invited us (Nick and I) for dinner.

So, we watched this movie - Doubt. Confusing in a way. Rav's room is superly awesome! And his internet's wickedly fast! btw.

So, chilled there till about 8pm then it was time to go. Curfew. Sheesh. Had a drive-thru at McD!!=DDDD Chocolate sundae, Mudpie McFlurry and a Chocolate Milkshake. Yummm...

My official fave shops this time to buy clothes are Mango MNG and Kitschen=D (on top of the existing ones, of course.)

I am in love with Adam Lambert's songs and Justin Bieber's songs. Ahhhh....

Started watching Gossip Girl. Lol...Kinda surprised that my bros are watching this and 90210. Wow...last time they would say "Eeee...girl shows" Now?

I like the fashion in Gossip Girl. Cool stuff. Kinda like Chuck's character. How he conceals everything he does for his friends and stuff. I mean, he may look evil and cold-hearted on the outside, he's really just human. I like how their blackmail always works and stuff. Haha...weird. Go watch. I don't think I explained this right. Haha...

Watched Naruto yesterday after so long. Missing out alot. I cried. Believe it or not. Cause it was damn touching okay? It's the episode about Kakashi's past ='( How friends sacrifice themselves to save the other friend's life. I wonder how many of us would be willing to do that...

And again, believe it or not, I miss McNair. Not really the hostel, but the people. Directs especially. Can't wait to get back there! Maybe that's why I'm on Facebook and MSN nearly everyday.

These few days it's just study, study, study. Really sick of it? But I can't afford to be. Next year's gonna be tough. I must be at my best.

Driving test tomorrow. Gotta sleep early.

Nahhhh...=P

And btw,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY EVA SEOW!!!!!

Just go Thailand and leave us you noe!!! Just wait! XP

*This was supposed to be posted last night, but anyhoos,

I passed my driving test!!!!

2009-12-09T08:28:00.000-08:00

Okay..now I shall tell you about my work attachment at a law firm, Allen and Gledhill, one of the largest law firms in Singapore with about 300 lawyers situated at One Marina Boulevard (NTUC Centre). The firm spans 7 floors of the building! Huge, huh? Well, they have a lot of lawyers! Nearest MRT : Raffles Place.

My work attachment was for 2 weeks from the 23rd of November till the 4th of December. It's under the Junior College Law Programme (JCLP) organised by the Singapore Academy Of Law (SAL).

Our first and second day was a conference at the Supreme Court of Singapore (oohh, scary!=p)

where we were introduced to the world of law. They keep stressing the law in reality is not like what you see on Ally Macbeal or Boston Legal. Now, I've never watched those series before.

I actually never even considered law as an option as to what I want to do in life at all! At least, until now...*shrugs* Have to thank Nick for that. He asked me to go for it in the first place. So, next time if I become a successful lawyer (if I choose to go to the law profession, which seems very highly likely for now) next time, I shall remember to thank him=D

Anyhoo, the office is like 15 minutes walk from the MRT when I'm limping due to the super uberly uncomfortable court shoes we have to wear which gives us cuts and bruises [my poor little toe!=( ]. But, there are a lot of places to eat=) for example, Lau Pa Sat is within walking distance buut, trust me. Don't go there during lunch hours. Really packed and don't expect to find a place to sit. We went there on the first day of work and had to ta pao back to office to eat.

Okay, now I shall retype everything that I have typed on my iPod during the times I had to wait for Nick and Dharlynnie to get off work at the MRT station.

***********

I just tried sending the notes over from my iPod. It works! I love iPod <333>

Okay, so this is all copy and pasted from my iPod.

Here goes!

The pitter patter of heels worn by those rushing to work in the early
hours of the morning heard as it comes into contact with the tiled
floors of the met station. I like those sounds. Reminds me of the time
when I was little and loved high heels because of the sound they made
and it made little me feel big. Clickity clack clickity clack. The
sound echoes throughout the underpass, sound waves reflecting all
over. I bet it would be a nice sight if only we could see those waves.

My phone spoilt and all I had was confidence, as unsure as I was, I
began following the other people up escalators. Upon reaching, I
caught sight of two young girls, no older than myself and decided to
give it a shot. The conversation further confirmed my thoughts. I
later have come to know them as Anne and Jesslin.

After registering with the reception, I was given a visitor's pass
sticker and an ID number. I keyed in my newly acquired code number
into the machine to allow myself into the foyer where the elevators
were. I felt adultish:)

I took the lift up to the 30th floor of the builiding. There were
already other attachees there. The lady at the reception ascorted us
up to the auditorium on the 31st floor. I saw that many other
attachees had already arrived. I took a seat near the front. The view
out of the building rocked! It was spectacular. You could see for
miles out. Buildings sprawled as far as me eye could see.

Then, at about 9.15am, we were given a briefing about the company. It
spans 7 floors of the building given that it was the largest law firm
with over 300 lawyers. The different departments were located on the
different floors. We were then told of the department we were assigned
to. I got assigned to the litigation department. There were 11 of us
assigned there. The rest got assigned to various corporate
departments. We were split into our respective departments and given a
tour of the library , old books aplenty. There were many interesting
things to see in lawyers' offices that told us more of them just by
lookibg through their offices. The offices all had glass windows for
people to look through. It was the firm's open door policy to make the
lawyers feek more relaxed and at home and also o allow people to look
in and see if they were busy before deciding whether or not to go in.
Some offices had Liverpool flags, a framed autographed Manchester
United jersey (I suppose that the whole team autographed it - it got
some of the boys excited!), Star Wars figurines and potted plants -
bonsais, and flowers. Then, we were brought to the 26th floor where we
were going around being introduced to our mentors and buddys. I got
assigned to my mentor, Loong Tse Chuan and my buddy, Koh Bi'na.

After that, we were settled into the pupils' room where the interns of
the firm were located in. But the interns were only going to be back
on the 8th December, but we would be gone by then. We each had our own
desk and, computer!!! We could access websites unrelated to
entertainment (Youtube, Facebook- these websites were firewalled).
Wikipedia, Google etc. were accesible for research. Our computer was
linked to the firm's intranet. I decided to explore the intranet and
read up on the company.

After that, I went to see my mentor. We chatted for awhile and he
asked me to come back after lunch.

For lunch, the 10 other interns and I went to Lau Pa Sat to eat. Man,
was the place packed with the lunchtime crowd! We decided to do take-
aways and eat in the office.

After lunch, I went to see my mentor and he introduced me to his other
lawyer friends. I got to know Jacqueline, Ai Min, Bryna, Farida, *I
forgot*, Ramesh.

To each, he asked if they were goig to court and to take me along if
they were. Bryna said that she had to go to court now and I followed,
borrowing her coat and despite me having worn the wrong type of shoes.
I grabbed my bag and a rushed off. Bryna was in a hurry.
*one thing I learnt, Lawyers walk damn fast!!! *

We went to the Supreme Court in a taxi, an registered with the Duty
Registrar? We were going to ask for an extension on the client's bank
guarantee that was due to be submitted the next day.

It was a short meeting. One thing I noticed, the judge was damn pretty
and that courts were not like I how imagined it to be. It was very
much technologically advanced, with computers and all.

We didn't manage to get the extension.

After reaching back, my mentor introduced me to my buddy, who was by
now, back in the office (she wasn't there in the morning when we were
having the office tour). We talked awhile and then, she gave me
something to read on a case she was working on about a breach of
contract.

She was going to Beijing or Shanghai( I forgot which) next week for
the case.

After reading and returning it, I took a few pictures, camwhored with
Melissa, Cheryl and Kendra.

Met up with Nick at the MRT station after work. (Sorry for making you
wait so long!!! - He waited for at least 30 minutes) then, waited for
Dharlynnie.

Decided to dine out. Went to Lau Pa Sat again. Ate hor fun. The gravy
was okay. Not too starchy. The kueh tiau sucked.

Then, went back, lepak in the computer lab when Ravjit called us to go
Yassin for a drink. Chatted till it was near curfew time. Went back.
Watched How I Met Your Mother till I accidentally dozed off.

End.

The next day...

Eagerly anticipating the second day. Saw Joanne in the canteen.
Thought I'd try my luck and ask if she had court shoes. Turns out she
does! Yayness!! =) It fits! Muahahah. With renewed confidence, I
happily went of to work. As we were late, we had to walk fast. My feet
hurt by the time I got to the office. It took alot of plasters and
tissue paper stuffed to protect my aching feet.

Soon, Ai Min called me to follow her for an appeal case (I forgot what
it was for!). I followed her to the supreme court. Took nearly the
whole morning to get that done as there were so many people there.
Some cases took a long time, hence, the wait.

When I got back, there wasn't anything to do, really, besides
listening in on my mentor's conference call. Didn't really get the
gist on what it was about though.

Lepaked the rest of the day.

Gonna think twice about wearing court shoes. I think my little toe's
about to fall off! Ouch...

Monday (30/11/2009)

Okay.. When I got up, I decided not to wear court formal today because
I did not think that I was going to court. Plus, Kendra wanted to
borrow my blazer and I already told her I would. Then, a lawyer, Zhuo
Neng (the cutest lawyer I've seen so far) came in to call me. I think
he called me Karen. But because I had earpieces in my ear, Karen
sounded like Carey, so I answered yes. He asked if I was going to
court. I was blur. I did not know I was supposed to go to court today!But anyways, I went with him to his office and there, I met Stephanie. She was in the corporate department, so they don't usually get to go to court. Her buddy arranged this going to court thing for her. Zhuo Neng handed me a summary on the case to read so I get what the case was about. On top of that, he shortened it further by just telling us in his own words what the case today was all about. Really made things easier to understand. We all chatted in the taxi on the way to court. He's really funny and stuff.When we got there, I had to hold onto his robe (the robe lawyers wear in court proceedings). It's black and really flowy. Haha..We went through the usual scanning procedure (like at the airport. Luggage goes through scanner; bag goes through scanner. Metal detectors and stuff). I had to leave my camera for safe-keeping at the counter because we weren't allowed to take cameras in.This trial was quite, how do you say..boring? Cause it was so technical with all the terms like Account Shortfall, Negative Equity and all that. But, I soon got the hang of it anyways.This case was handled by Ang Cheng Hock (the youngest person to become a Senior Counsel), Paul and Zhuo Neng. We were acting for the defendant.Well, what can I say, Cheng Hock really knew his stuff! I was so awed by the way he spoke, his arguments (it was as if he memorised the whole case by heart! Even where to refer to!). It got me thinking that we were winning and that we would totally trash the other party. The witness for the plaintiff kept repeating his answers. Kind of like a circular reasoning! It got irritating after a while. Cheng Hock was so obviously frustrated. But, hey! The witness was Taiwanese! ( He had that Taiwanese accent that Aaron impersonates so well. I wanted to laugh! But, not to mock him or anything.)The case ended for the day at around 4.45pm and I decided to go back to office to wait for Nick and Dharlynnie to get off work.

Tuesday (1/12/2009)

Second day of the case. The tables turned. Today, they questioned the witness for the defendant and I really doubted whether we would actually win or not. I accidentally dozed off on a couple of occasions because I slept too late the previous night. Oops! The policeman on watch had to keep motioning to Stephanie to wake me up. So did the orderly (the guy who attends to the judge, the one who hands the judge documents and announces the judge's arrival.). I felt so embarrassed! But, seriously, it was not because the case was boring (although it was, but it was not the cause for my dozing off!)We were not supposed to sleep in the court. It's a sign of disrespect. Big whoops!Today, we were supposed to go for the welcome forum for us attachees. But, because we really wanted to watch and see who was the witness for the defendant, we asked for permission to skip the forum, which was graciously granted=) Zhuo Neng helped us to ask too. I felt lucky for not going to the forum because the others got to promote the firm to the other lawyers as a challenge. And the lawyers asked stuff like, can we pay in chocolates? T.TThe case ended at around 4.30pm. Did not want to go back to office after that so, Kendra and I just loitered around the unexplored places in Raffles Place MRT. Like, the mini mall where there were lots of food to eat.

Wednesday (2/12/2009)

Third and final day of the case. It ended around 10.30am. We met Benjamin at court too. He said the others were also coming later to watch whichever open cases were on. Cheryl, Kendra and I left early after the case ended to find shoes for Kendra because her existing ones hurt real badly. We went to Charles and Keith, waited for the shop to open (stood like a couple of shoe-crazy people outside the shop, peering in, then walked away coz even though it was already 11am, the shopkeepers were still busy talking amongst themselves and refusing to open the door to let us in. We came back later of course, after getting a dose of music over at HMV.)

Then, ate lunch at JustAcia. Had the fish covered with cheese and mayo. Damn good...

After that, went back to office to lepak the rest of the day. Played UNO. Haha..

Thursday (3/11/2009)

Followed my mentor to court. Waited like some 2 and a half hours to see the judgee because of unforeseen circumstances, hence, we left the office late and missed the slot. The judge was really scary. Was actually looking forward to having lunch with my mentor, but because we were late and took too much time in court (he has tons of work piling up), he can't exactly make it for lunch.=(

Today was Starbucks Free Coffee Day! Just by donating any amount to the Salvation Army, wwe could get a tall beverage of our choice for free!!! FREE STARBUCKS!!!! *drools*

Supposed to go with Dhar and Nick but Dhar had to get trophies for her farewell party the next day and Nick last minute said he would be late (the free giveaway would be over at 7pm. It was already 6.15pm). So, I decided to go to Plaza Sing to wait for Nick if he even wanted to go get the free drink still.=.= At the same time, I hunted around for presents to give to my mentor and the lawyers who took me to court. Settled with buying muffins and a mug for my mentor. Didn't get the Starbucks. Heard the queue was friggin long anyways. *Shrugs*

Then, at night, chilled with Shing Yee because she was going back the next day=(

Friday (4/11/2009)

Last day of work attachment. Went to office and we started to camwhore and go around giving presents to our mentors and buddies. Took pics with them too.

Went late for the farewell briefing. We Litigation department people earned an infamous reputation for ourselves that day, being known as the "ones who were late". haha..

The speech by the lawyer was really inspiring! I felt myself want to be a lawyer even more!

After that, we went for lunch. Went to Burger King. Then, left for court for the final closing ceremony. Very boring. So many people ponned. There were pretty lame presentations. LOL..

After everything, Nick and I decided to lepak awhile at Suntec despite us having not finished packing our luggages yet (we were going home the next day).XD

Lepaked at HMV for an hour plus, I think, listening to the CDs of Justin Bieber, Michael Buble (I SO WANT HIS ALBUM!!!!), Rihanna, Adam Lambert, Susan Boyle, Glee and other random artists. (Yes, I know! So good right? They let you listen there! I suppose it's so that if you like the music, then you would buy the disc. Like sampling..LOL..But, of course, then there are people like us, who listen, like it, go back and download it! XD)

Then, at Suntec, just outside, there was a dance performance by an Australian dance company. It was sooo cool. Puts our school's dance society to shame. The little kids (I think they were about 4 or 5 years - youngest) were sooo flexible! Their dance routines were superb! There were teens, guys and girls. All really good. We were practically glued there the whole performance! (We started watching halfway till the end.) Then, decided to eat Pastamania coz Nick said there was a discount if we went there at 8.30pm. So we waited...and waited...(I forgot whether this was the time he made me climb up and down the stairs near the Fountain of Wealth like an idiot. LOL...) Finally, we could wait no more and decided to head back instead. (By then, it was 7.50pm.)

Talked about religion on the journey back.

Funny thing, by the time we reached back, it was 8.30pm! Haha..just the time we were supposed to eat PastaMania. Lol..

Packed my luggage. Had boxes of it. Kept going back and forth from Caesar and Shubh's room to get tape and boxes (Thank you for the boxes Caesar!).

Then, after I finished packing, went out to canteen for a chat with Jonathan, Bao, Nick, Shubh, Kevin, Caesar. Also ate Korean instant noodles (2 packets shared between Caesar, Nick and I). It was late, I know...but we were sooo hungry!!!

Saturday (5/11/2009)

Got up early to finish packing loose ends. Went over to see how Nick was coping with packing. Poor guy wasn't even finished yet! Had loads of stuff to carry back! Luckily Shubh was following him to the bus terminal, otherwise, I wasn't sure he could manage all those stuff! He was so packed that he couldn't bring much clothes back!

Left the hostel at about 1 something pm.

Bye McNair! Hello JB!=)

*See Facebook for pics of work attachment!=) Lazy to upload it yet! Haha..will do it eventually..

2009-12-08T08:04:00.000-08:00

Well, I'm back home guys!

No more super thin cheap mattresses that make your back ache and butt ache when you sleep on it and sinks down and forms a crater when you sit on it. Instead, my comfy bed and air con-ned room all to myself with the air con switched on to whatever time I want! = NO MORE SWEATY WAKE UPS!!!!=D

No more unhealthy hostel food which are oily and ewww...indescribable(Caesar saw the canteen auntie - the really loud one; take the oil layer from the pork stew and pour it onto the veggies *shudders* i wonder why she did that?) Instead, yummy home-cooked food and my favourite food from various stalls. KUE TIAU KIA!!!! and satay and fried kue tiau (that's for later today - it's past 12am already) and nasi lemak! etc...too many.

No more having to walk sooo sooo long just to get to the nearest convenient transport to go to places. Instead, a CAR=) which happens to be the first 3 alphabets of my name=) heh..

BUT

I miss you Malaysian people from the hostel! A LOT. A HELL LOT.

To Joanne and Shing Yee and Peng Soon:

I miss you guys so much! and I wish you all the best in getting into uni! Joanne! You better get into Cambridge! Good luck for the interviews! Peng Soon! Go pursue your dance dream! Get into NYU or something=D Then, next time we can watch your dance movies! hahah...Shing Yee, although you haven't decided yet, it's ok=) Take your time to know what you want to do. After all, there's 3 months still right? Better than rushing and taking something you don't like in uni.

You people better come visit us poor juniors next year ya! Guve us moral support! ehehe...

Ahh, I will always miss our karaoke sessions by the pool, sneaking into Caesar's room and hideout and our chill time in the canteen eating and chatting=) Instant noodles and chrysanthemum tea=)

Going to Genting Highlands in a few days' time...going out with Eva, Jas and Rach tmr!!! Maybe we can watch New Moon! hahahahaa...

I still haven't completed my driving test...

And oh!

My nails are BLACK.

Haha...

Well, just to tell you a little on what I have been up to since I got back, I went to my cousins' house on Monday to play BAND HERO on their PS3!!! So cool, there's a guitar, a microphone and a drum set! (ya, I noob. never play before..) I am proud to say that I scored a 97% for singing on my first try at Fall Out Boy's "Sugar We're Going Down"

It's so fun!!! I want to play it again!!!

Then, we ate catfishes.hehehe..my uncle is the best cook ever!

Then, I slept a lot. haha..coz of the comfortable and sleep inducing environment that keeps making me yawn and want to sleep more. I shall indulge in this while I can before I go back to the "lack of" and uncomfortable sleeping environment at the hostel. And this time, I'm gonna take the upper bunk! Airier..hahaha..

Not that I am forced to have lack of sleep (although it is sometimes true), but I choose to spend more time with my besties=) Stupid, I know..(who forgoes sleep just to hang out more?)

Then, there's going to my mum's friend's wedding dinner (my first time attending a wedding dinner this whole entire year!). Food was not bad, I say. We were at Tai Son Rastaurant near Taman Molek. I think Erika mentioned to me that she ate there tons of times and that the food was real good.

I want to eat Chillies when I go KL, no PJ;)

(Nick gives me an earful when I say KL coz it's really, PJ - Petaling Jaya;) He also says that I pronounce Carrefour wrongly. He pronounces it as something like Car-fu. French, he says. (Is it French?) I just pronounce it as Care-4.hahahha)

Spent the bulk of today sending songs over to Nick after downloading them.

Adam Lambert's songs are not bad! I like Music Again, For Your Entertainment, Whaddya Want From Me and If I Had You, best.

So's Justin Bieber! Make sure you listen to him! Talented fella=)

Next is Leona Lewis. Since I previewed her album the other day at HMV at Suntec after the law programme closing ceremony with Nick last Friday.

All I want for Christmas is a teddy from Build-A-Bear Workshop, Michael Buble's album and a Sony Ericsson Satio! The last one's a bit impossible to get since it's so freakin' expensive.

Ahh, but most importantly, I want to spend Christmas with my family and close friends=)

I like Dove shampoo. Makes my hair not so POOFY. hahha...

I miss Indian vegetarian food at Analakshmi...and mamaking at Yassin...Anjney created a Facebook group for Yassin btw. Haha..

Oh yea! I want to blog about my law programme. But that would be in my next post. First, I have to get the pictures from Facebook. It was the best experience ever!

Till next time! Ta!

2009-11-22T08:41:00.001-08:00

Well, these few days have been crazy.

Just celebrated Adelyn's birthday today. Brought her to eat Tandoori at Jaggi's at Little India. Great food. But also, great price! Gosh..the 13 of us ate a grand total of $143 (after GST) O.o

*13 of us comprised of : Adelyn (Birthday girl), Me, Nick, Anjney, Aaron, Ankush, Ravjit, Chun Kit, Cai Yi, Dharlynnie, Caesar, Shubh and Shao Wen.

Yeap. But the food was really great. We had lotsa curries and dhal and garlic naan and cheese naan and mango lesi (it's like mango yoghurt drink but wayyy better)!!! And it cost us like 3.50 a cup.O.o

The naan was also quite expensive, given the small amount. The briyani that Joo Fei ate was cheaper. He had, i think, 3 types of dhal and curry and a kebab.

After that, we headed to The Cathay for a movie. The Informant (which according to Anjney - the portable Wikipedia was reputed to be Matt Damon's best movie yet.). Crazy show. Damn farnee! Omgosh! The music made it more retarded! hahahahha...great movie.

Then, Adelyn wanted to eat Ben and Jerry's. So, we brought her there. Was broke. Didn't eat. haha..

Played Indian Poker there. Practically lepaked the rest of the evening there. The person who lost twice had to do a forfeit. A dare. I got dared to go into a waxing shop and ask how much it was to wax my eyebrows and eyelashes. O.o (eyelashes?!) Yeap. So, it cost $18 to wax your eyebrows and I got recommended to another shop to wax eyelashes. The salesperson was like : *stunned* You can go to our sister shop. Their better at this area (or something like that). Dunno whether the girl understand or misheard that I wanted a eyelash waxing or thought that I wanted a eyebrow wax. Is it even possible to wax your eyelashes??? I wonder. Who would anyway? haha..

Then, went to Carl's Jr for a burger because Adelyn was craving for burgers. I shared half a Guacamole Bacon Cheeseburger (or something like that) with Adelyn. It was heavenly.

Then, we went back.

Yesterday, Nick and I went for the YFC Awards Ceremony (Finally!! IT's OVER!!!) It was from 10.15am to about 1pm. The event was supposed to start at 10.15am but the President only came at about 11am. I wonder why VIPs are always late...Yes, the President is the Presedent of Singapore. (S.R. Nathan) Cool, huh? Because this was a President's Challenge event.

Then, after that, left to go to Expo for the MPH book sales and John Little Mega Sale. There were soo soo many cheap stuff (Cheap to Singaporeans. The crowd there was like 'WOW!')For MPH, it was like 1 book for $5 and 5 books for $20 or 1 book for $8 and 5 books for $30. Cheap. Nuff said. Surprisingly, Nick spent a very long time in there for a guy who doesn't like reading books. Haha..summore had to wait for me, bookworm, to finish browsing for books. Altogether, I bought $35 worth of books. Satisfying. (7 books altogether) Met Caesar, Shubh, (both were there for the second time in 2 days) Joanne, Shing Yee, Marian, Adrian and Gracia there. They came later.

Bought stuff for my brothers there. Nick got mistaken as a salesperson for 4 times!!! hahah...he was quite insulted, (I think?) but for me, it was hilarious! You should have seen his face! HAHAHHAHA!!! Epic! (cause, we were wearing school uniforms. haha)You look 'old' now Nick! =P After that, wanted to carry my bag so it made him look less like a salesperson. I think if he hadn't done that, he would have made it 5 times! XD

There was also an Asian Food Fair. Nick and I were trying the free samples given out there. Bak kwa, tuna, drinks, we also bought shark's fin soup (fake, of course) and ate Mr. Bean ice cream and yogurt.

Then, ate at Annalakshmi (not sure if it's spelt right) at Chinatown. It's serves like the best Indian vegetarian food ever, man! And best of all, you can pay however much you like! According to Shubh, who took us there in the first place, it's because they do this for charity. You can pay nothing, but of course, it's courtesy to at least pay something (at least $3 la..) or according to an estimate of how much you ate. We always pay $5 per person. It's damn good. The food's awesome! The whole restaurant looks like some 5 star restaurant. Very conceptual. Has the whole Indian theme.

We're taking the seniors (Joanne, Shing Yee, Priyanka and Kushi) there on Tuesday after their main A Level papers are over.

Work shadowing starts tomorrow! Which means the my school term has sort of ended because I don't have to go this last week of school! There will be a 2-day conference at the Supreme Court. I kinda both dread it and looking forward to it at the same time.

Seriously, I have some emotional issues these few days. (Shing Yee!!!I'm sorry for disturbing you!!! And thanks so much for taking time off to listen to my whining and complaints. If you were not there I probably would have exploded and burst-ted! How am I gonna survive next year here without you???)

I feel so shitty.

Blame it on my overactive brain who seems to wander into territories best left unwandered. Seriously. Tried to do stuff that would distract my brain, like going to pick Jon up from the airport - he's back for the holidays from Sydney and going out with my relatives from Sydney who are here for the holidays:)

Don't get me wrong. It's not about my scholarship (though you are free to think that it is).

Well, I gotta go soon. Will do some research for awhile then go to sleep. Ahh, sleep. The best remedy to distract.

I dread and not dread the coming days because of what I will see.

End.

I could go back to every laugh

But I don't want to go there anymore and I
know all the steps up to your door
But I don't want to go there anymore
Talk to the wind, talk to the sky
Talk to the man with the reasons why
And let me know what you find

I'll leave my window open
Cause I'm too tired tonight
to call your name
Just know I'm right here hoping
You'll come in with the rain

I could stand up and sing you a song
But I don't want to have to go that far and I
I've got you down, I know you by heart
And you don't even know where I start
Talk to yourself, talk to the tears
Talk to the man who put you here
Don't wait for the sky to clear

I've watched you so long
screamed your name
I don't know what else
I can say

But I'll leave my window open
Cause I'm too tired tonight
for all these games
Just know I'm right here hoping
You'll come in with the rain

I could go back to every laugh
But I don't want to go there
anymore..

2009-11-10T06:35:00.000-08:00

Went to Orchard today. Kononnya Isetan at Shaw House got sale=.= Blame Nick. Haha..Only Triumph and Billabong got warehouse sale.lol

The Christmas decos along Orchard are up by the way. Reindeers. Cool. The lights were so pretty! Wish I brought a camera.

I'm a little short-fused today, I think. Sorry. But I still try to control it. It's unfair if I vent it on others. I know.

Thanks Caesar for the sushi you sneaked out of the Sakae buffet for us=) It was good.
(Just so you know, he did not steal. They paid for it but couldn't finish. So they 'tapao-ed'.)

Gonna be out of cash soon. Waiting for YFC to reimburse me my money...

I wish I were home, but then again, at the same time, not...Why? Me also confused.

Tomorrow's class outing. Gonna meet at City Hall, eat lunch and go bowling.

A little bored now, I guess.

Waiting for Nick to bathe so we can watch a movie...

I have no idea what I should do for my Independent Study. I need a topic! HELP!!!!!

Mum says I have to get an A for Chem then only will I be allowed to stay here...How's that gonna be possible? It's such a large jump to make! But I still have to believe I can.

Bryan registered for SAM at Taylor's.

Taylor Swift rocks my socks=)

Go listen to 'New Perspective' by Panic! At The Disco.

Eva, Erika, Serene and Jasmynn!!! I miss you guys soo sooo much=(

When will it ever end?=( I don't like this feeling of insecure-ness.

*sigh*

Oh well, Facebook? I don't know what to do there anymore. I wonder how I used to spend ridiculous amount of time there...No offense Eva. Haha.. we all know how much you love Facebook.

Am using the computer in the study room. Timer's gonna run out. so, ciaos!

Gonna go back to my room to gulp down a bottle of water. Thirsty me;)

New Blog Template

2009-11-10T00:52:00.000-08:00

Yeap, I have finally found time to change my blog template. I kinda like this one coz it's simple, yet girly. Hahah..Plus, I like that nearly the entries section is bigger. As in it covers a wider screen area (Don't know if you understand what I'm saying...).

Stupid ants.

Oh well, off to play Sims 2!

Tata!

2009-11-09T19:30:00.000-08:00

Okayy...

ANNOUNCEMENT:

PW IS NOW OFFICIALLY OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! since yesterday:D

Yayness.

My leave to go back not approved=.=

They said that since next week is lecture week, I'm supposed to use this time to consult my teachers if I'm doubtful of anything. What??!! Coz my results weren't so good...my fault.

Anyways, that means I can go for my first class outing ever! I feel so bad for not going to the two class outings before.

One, because I went back.

Two, because I went back!

Ahahahaha..

I managed to do 50 MCQ questions yesterday on Atomic Structure:D

Feel accomplished yo!

Just sort of woke up. The whole day left to lepak. So's the rest of the week XD

A Levels officially start today. Maths.

I wish all my seniors good luck:D

Shing Yee, Joanne, Peng Soon, Jonathan, Ricky, Kingston, Chan, Seng Keat, Niko etc.

I know you guys can do well. You've been busy mugging and prep-ing the whole year!

I have nothing to do now - since PW's over. In canteen. Ravjit competing with me for the internet coz we're both downloading movies. LOL. But surprisingly, the internet speed's still quite fast!

Childish.

Nick and Caesar has most probably finished their PW too.

I keep coughing. One after another. First, sore throat, then, flu, then, cough =.=

Non-stop la...

Keep coughing even as I sleep. Irritating.

Woke up this morning just to send good luck to Aaron, Nick, Caesar, Adelyn and Shao Wen. See? I so good. Hahah... but then I went back to sleep. XD

Waiting for lunchtime to come. Maybe going McD? But, I'm coughing =.=

Kevin's come to join us. He called me this morning to ask if I wanted to follow him to Kallang to service his lappie. I was still tossing and turning in bed. Lazy to get up. Coz nothing to do, and no one to talk to. So, sleep la! Didn't end up going with him though. Still haven't bathed. haha.. Sorry Kevin!

So, he's telling me about the guy saying that his thingy on the com that keeps popping out can't be repaired.

Very hungry right now...

*Stomach growls*

Ravjit sprained his ankle. He keeps saying that his ankle pain for like the 4th time. haha.. It's like this, he went to watch hockey at NTU with Aaron (surprisingly. Very Surprisingly.) and Adelyn (who's joined Hockey after quitting Debate. Complicated.) So, he's watching the match. It was a friendly. Our girls' hockey team lost 2-0 to secondary school boys. Believe it or not. The guys' hockey team only won like 1-0. The secondary school boys were that good. Ravjit says he could believe it. Haha.. yea, so after the match, while they were getting up to leave, he didn't see the steps and he tripped and sprained his ankle. Haha.. There were no injuries for those actually playing the match, but, for him, who merely watched the match, managed to GG-ly sprain his ankle. Dugna G.haha..

Battery gonna konk liao.

Ciaos!

2009-11-07T09:34:00.000-08:00

Okay..it's late. Yep..L.A.T.E.

Me for being curious and all. Stupid. Curiosity does kill the cat, I guess. Causing more emotional problems for myself and such. Not that I don't already have any. This just adds to it.

Oh ya. Surprise surprise! My mum has Facebook. Yeap. Maybe she'll be like Anjney's mum. Add all my friends and stuff. She added Kevin. lol...He asked me yesterday.

Kevin: Hey, is ........ your mum?

Me : Yeap. I just found out she has a Facebook account.

Kevin : Parents are invading Facebook.

Me : Yeap. Probably wants to see what I'm doing over here.

Kevin : Even my relatives have Facebook accounts.

Me : lol

Yeap. Parents are getting more tech-savvy nowadays. Haha.. I remember asking my mum if she knew how to operate Microsoft Excel to draw the graphs for the stupid Geog folio (I think?) where we had to insert all the graphs and stuff, and... I was not really expecting my mum to know much about it.

You see, I had, at that point in time, thought my parents to not know much about computers since they were always saying how we young people can easily pick up how to operate stuff in a snap. Bad of me. Yes, I know. But that was my perception at the time. Still have some of that perception in me though..
But back to the story (it's a story now?), so I asked my mum, and she showed me. I was like wow-ed? yea...proved me wrong, she did. The next day she came back with a printed stack of instructions and guides on how to use Excel. She said she made little notes while she was learning how to use it when she first started. Awww....it's lying dusty on my shelf back home. Still in good condition though! Bad me.

Well, went Whampoa just now. To eat, of course. Had kway chap (it's a different version of kuay tiao kia back home. No need to ask. Of course everything is better back home. Even the price.). Originally went there with the intention of eating yong tau fu. But ended up eating something else instead! What the heck. haha..

I now officially have the flu for 4 days consecutively. No, it's not swine flu. Don't worry.

Going Isetan at Shaw House tomorrow. Nick said there's a sale there. So's Robinson's at Expo.

Man, I feel so unprepared for OP on Monday.

P.S. This was typed on Saturday. I just posted it today! hahahaha

2009-11-06T22:57:00.000-08:00

My room is so ant infested. Those huge black ants. Red too. Irritating. F.

So's the weather. HOT. SO HOT. I sweat even after I showered. Flu's still here. *sniff sniff*

Went Esther's house this morning for PW. We were all nice and comfy in her room, air con blasting.

Finished and finalized our OP slides and script. All that's left is to memorize it and wait for Monday to come.

****gone to take tissue to blow my nose****

Feel short-tempered to day. Don't mind me. Maybe I should sleep. Get myself back. Probably just the lack of sleep that's causing me to be snappy. Then again, my nose contributes to my snappy-ness also. zzz...

Well, off I go. Slumberland awaits!

2009-11-06T00:52:00.000-08:00

It's been almost a year. Well, what can I say? Seems like just yesterday that I set foot into McNair Lodge. I still remember searching the internet for pictures of the hostel that I would be living in for the next 2 years, coming across Kingston's blog (He happens to be my senior in this hostel, but I didn't know him yet at that time. He's the senior with the red face. haha..) and looking at the pictures. I said to myself and those around me at the time, "eww"...shoes strewn all over, small rooms and what not..first impressions really killed the place. I didn't want to go. My mind was still set on going to Taylor's College; just as my friends and I have planned since early Form 5.

Since entering the hostel, greeted by the sign "Welcome Scholars" (which happens to be still stuck forever at the entrance; we all thought that they had stuck it there to welcome us but turns out, it's forever stuck there!) and looking at the hostel surroundings, the wading pool in the middle which later became the place where we celebrate birthdays and dump the birthday guy or gal into the pool XD

Entering the room, I was quite disappointed at the size of the cupboard that each of us were allocated. It's too small to keep everything I had brought. Hence, my room is now a mess. A HUGE MESS. Especially my table. In addition to the already small room and walking space, it's 5 people to a room! I really marvel at how the guys can keep their rooms so neat and tidy, especially Aaron, Ravjit and Caesar's room. It must be Caesar's constant mopping the floor and tidying up the room in the middle of the night, what with him being nocturnal and all. I'm not saying that Aaron and Rav are untidy, just that with Caesar there, it's super clean and neat. And I thought girls were the ones who were supposed to be neat. Hah..proves me wrong! Anyways, in my defense, girls have wayy many more stuff (toiletries, revision books and clothings) than guys.

Moving on, the canteen. Our beloved gathering area where we meet almost every night to chat and surf the internet. The hostel internet really sucks. It's always down since the mid of the year. Plus, there is a limit as to how many people can access it at a time. Really a hassle especially during Project Work period where internet connectivity is essential. Thank gawd I subscribed to a portable internet, my trusty M1 modem which is slow loading sometimes, but still, better than nothing. Really gotta invest in one of these things out here. It becomes really handy in times to come.

The internet's free, laundry service is free, air-conditioning is free, heater is free, come to think of it, despite the small rooms, getting these free stuff is better than the other hostels out there (They have to pay for what we get for free! Muahahahaha).

The mamak shop! The place we hang out the most here. Conveniently located near our hostel (only a good 10 to 15 minutes walk from our hostel), we chill there most nights enjoying Masala thosai, roti prata, MILO AIS! and many more. Even the shopkeeper there knows us! I mean, of course la, regular customers wat...

Bendemeer Market, where there is a hawker centre and our favourite Veggie Pizza (so not vegetarian) and Takoyaki (Octopus ball) stall. Takes about 10 to 15 minutes to get there from our hostel. Another hawker centre would be the Whampoa Food Court. Similar-to-Malaysian-food galore! We only just recently found it and is the place where we seek refuge whenever we feel like feeling Malaysian. There's satay, ikan bakar, etc etc...huge place. Of course, cannot compare to Malaysian food, but it's the best we've got. Price also very nice:) *sarcastic*

Sheng Siong. The mini market where we could get our groceries easily at a relatively cheaper price. Located only 10 minutes away from our hostel, on the way to the mamak shop.

Really glad that we have so many places near our hostel. Unlike NJC's hostel (National Junior College) where they have to walk really far just to get to the nearest bus-stop to take them to places for groceries and stuff. Went there once, to visit Chun Kit and Edmund. Sneaked into Chun Kit's room. The place is really strict. Each has an access card that can only access their own floor where their room is located at. Plus, they have teachers staying there as well! Imagine the tension. LOL..kidding.

Suddenly thought of the salesman that comes to my grandma's house every Wednesday to sell kedai runcit kind of stuff like dried food stuff and eggs. We call him the egg man.hahahah.."AH MA! EGG MAN IS HERE!" Then we will buy snacks and sweets, bread, sauces, bla... I like the smell of the van. ahaha...very homely smell. I wonder if he still goes to my grandma's house. The uncle's quite old liao. So's his light green van.

I have digressed. Back to life in Singapore. I think I'm jumping from point to point. Forgive me if it's confusing. Just typing it as it comes into my mind=)

I think friendships here, well, some of it, is very superficial. Like surface level kind of friendships. Don't like it. I mean, between us Directs, I think we're pretty bonded. As in we can confide in each other. Was just having this convo with Nick the other night.

Coming here really opened my eyes to different types of people. Some are bold, headstrong, stubborn, have really strong opinions about certain matters. Take my PW group for example, some of them don't compromise and give in to each others ideas. They will demand an explaination. WHY? WHY? WHY? I can't give you the explaination! Sometimes, things just are!

Why don't people compromise? That way, no misunderstandings! I mean, not compromise to the extent that you compromise for the wrong stuff. But if someone else's idea is better, accept it la..

COMPROMISE AND GIVING IN.

Sometimes, giving in would help make situations less tense. And everyone would be happy, well, almost? That's my point of view. Don't know if you get what I mean. haha..

In another case, however, Adelyn has a PW group mate who doesn't even contribute at all! It's like this, even though that person does not contribute, she'll still get roughly the same marks as her other group mates who slog their asses off doing this project. Unfair, right? That's why Adelyn's pissed. Super pissed.

I just realized that almost everywhere I go, every school I go to so far has the name Adeline or Adelyn in it. Haha..

I'm taking lifeless quizzes on Facebook as I type this.lol

Currently having a freakin' flu/cold whatever and sore throat and feel feverish. Shit...I have OP assessment on Monday (9/11/2009)! God help me. I HAVE to recover by then.

Slept a lot yesterday. 4.30 to 7.30pm and from 12 something to 8.00am. Then, had to go Esther's house in Kovan for PW OP dry run. Dragged myself out of bed. Reached Kovan with Ariena at 9am only to my blurness found out that we were too early. The actual meeting time was 9.30am. Thanks to me and my blurness, sat on the floor in the MRT station in front of the wall concealing the fire hose for a good half an hour reflecting on our PW group and project. Slept on Esther's marble floor. (We were doing work in the living room and lying on the floor. Then, I accidentally slept. Oops! Too lethargic. Seriously. Must be the flu/cold/whatever.)

Esther's mum made chicken curry for all of us hungry souls. Really good stuff! Ate with bread and corn. Yumm.. I miss home-cooked food to the max! Debbie was funny. Cause she cannot tahan spicy food, so she was "Omg..how can you all finish the gravy! So spicy! I struggling to finish it, you know!" The last time, she ate some nasi ayam thing (I forgot the exact name. I was some Indon food) at Food Republic, Vivo City and she was practically in tears. She couldn't even eat black pepper! haha...

I freezing in the study room. Air con blowing at me. Feel like a popsicle. lalala...

I sneezed. Hurts my throat.

Have PW in Esther's house again..lazy to go. But I must! just for another 3 days?

*sniff sniff*

end..

dunno what to type liao. This is just a spam-what-I'm-feeling-at-the-moment thing.

Gona type my OP script out. Sheesh.

Oh ya! coz this week is PW week ryt..so, yesterday my timetable was only civics from 8.00 to 9.00am where we had free ice-cream coz my class won 3rd place for best conduct of the year! UNEXPECTED. SERIOUSLY.

After that, we watched Shutter (a horror movie) and Passengers (thriller). On the projector. In class. Padahal we supposed to use the time for our own PW practice. haha...

My class is like less antoo about PW compared to Nick's and Caesar's class. I salute their class, man!

Well, the Sec 3 juniors came in just last mid-month. They've all gone to their respective hostels liao. The other week we took them out to Bugis to shop, had a Seniors-Meet-Juniors session by the pool (some of them skeptical to come because they scared kena dumped in the pool! ahhaha!)

Now, the Vietnamese and Indon scholars for the Sec 3 batch next year has arrived. Places all fully occupied.

kk. Now I shall really end my post. hahah

2009-11-02T00:53:00.000-08:00

Well, it's one of those days where there is no school and you have no idea what to do with the day. Watched a movie. Fighting. Channing Tatum. Hawt! haha..

Still in a dilemma.

Ankush going back=( No more Milo!!!=(

SAD. No one to bully next year.

Will I follow in his footsteps?

No idea.

I hope not.

I have options.

Choices.

Decisions.

Why? Why?

Blasting air con in the study room. Trying to revise Chem, and downloading more movies XD

LALALAAAAAAA

Bored.

End.

2009-10-25T17:20:00.000-07:00

I have just realized how long it is since I last blogged. Sorry to all of you who are still 'reading' my blog but coming here to find no new posts since...July, I think?

Well, here I am. Again. I'm blogging in school actually. Not that anyone cares. It's PW week. Again. I hate PW. PW is ruining my life, my friends' life, everyone's life! Okay,...maybe not everyone. But, it does become a platform for classmates to be bonded closer to one another.

What is PW? you might be wondering...

Well, it's the second most retarded subject after Moral, in my opinion. It's all about frying your brains to come up with an idea that no one has done before (or at least is not that noticeable) for your project.

1st stage: Preliminary Idea (PI)

You have to come up with an idea of what you want your project to be based on. The 2 topics given for this year would be:

a) Emergency

b) Conservation

My PI was on emergency. Don't really wanna go into details here. hah..

2nd stage: Group Project Proposal (GPP)

We're all divided into groups of 4 or 5 and we would choose the best PI from our group to start our project. Well, my group happens to be the only all girl group in my class and the only group with 5 members in it (me, Ariena, Debbie, Esther, Grace). We picked Debbie's project which is the conservation of ice balls (ais kepal). It's all about writing out a proposal on what we want to do and our plans for the project.

3rd stage: Evaluation of Materials (EOM)

We have to pick an article about our project and, yes, evaluate it.

4th stage: Written Report (WR)

THE BIG HEADACHE. Giving me and my friends sleepless nights and toil during the day. I can't wait for this to be over! (It's ongoing now. Submission's on Wednesday.) I can't stand it! It's the most troublesome part of the project. You have to summarize your whole project on 3000 words! WTH... how can 3000 words be enough?

5th stage: Oral Presentation (OP)

You guessed it. No other words can explain it better. The most important part of the whole PW experience where you'll be graded on how well you talk and answer your questions. External examiners will be there to grade you too. Makes it the most intimidating of all. Mine's set on the 9th Nov. Wish me luck!

6th stage: Insights and Reflections (I&R)

We're supposed to write what we think about our whole project, what we think we could have done more for our project in terms of expanding our strategies and stuff.

This is the cause of my coming to school last Saturday and, guess what? SUNDAY:((((

Stupeeed.

Kevin bought a new bag. CRUMPLER. ARGGGGH..hahah..nice shade of brown. He just left to see my PW teacher. Maybe I should take it?XD hahha...he'll be so heartbroken!

I feel like I haven't talked to two of my closest friends - Nicholas and Caesar - besides Adelyn and Shing Yee since the WR dateline is drawing near. Everyone's practically busy with their own work and out the whole day with their group mates. Me feels sad:(

I hope our batch doesn't drift apart like our seniors' batch. It would be heart-breaking..

Well, I can only hope that PW would end soon (2 weeks away). Then, we could all sama-sama chat and do crazy stuff and go out again :D

Ahhhhhhhhhhh....................

2009-07-05T10:34:00.000-07:00

Omg! Congrats to Roger Federer for being the most successful player in Grand Slam history!!!!!

4 hours and 16 minutes of pure sweat and hard work finally paid off.. Hats off to you=)

2009-07-05T09:29:00.000-07:00

Hello?!? Can't they find better ways than to keep us locked in the room?? Won't we know if we have a fever? Stupid people..naive thinking.

Here's the thing. You all know about the state Singapore is in due to H1N1. The total count now is 1,055. The population of Singapore is wayyy lesser than in China but the total number of people infected with H1N1 still remains as high as in China with a larger population density. Do the maths. Singapore is in it's own bubble. Now our hostel's being sent into some lockdown mode. It's damn dumb. DAMN DUMB!!!!!!!

1. We can't have mass gatherings in the canteen anymore. At all. For the coming week or so. I hope it only lasts a week. MOE officers are coming to oversee stuff. =.= so we supposed to stay in our rooms and rot. Padahal it's stated in the rules that we not supposed to eat in our rooms. So supper how?? Eat in our rooms since cannot go out to canteen??WTH..

2. We're supposed to stay in our rooms for the whole freakin' day except for when we have lunch and dinner. (If you quarantine us every other freakin' minute of the day, and let us out halfway through, for meal times, won't we get the virus too if say, someone gets it??)

Anyways, I'm just ranting here. Pissed coz I just got sent back to my room btw. All of us kena. WTH..no, nothing serious. Just a couple of threats from the manager to tell our teachers.

I don't know why they decided to get stricter now of all times. It's useless la, in short. I can't even study in my room!!! Know why?? Table's super duper messy and full of stuff. Know why?? Coz not enough storage space. Sucks man. Actually coz I lazy to clear oso la.. but if I did clear my stuff, there's nowhere else to put it!!!!WTF..

Still pissed.. Adelyn, hurry up and come back. I wanna go shopping like mad tmr!!!! Go out the whole day and don't come back till late =.=

Why do they have to be so kiasu kiasi now instead of earlier???

I'm still waiting for the manager to confirm confirm sleep. Den keluar lagi XP..

Just watched Angels and Demons. Freakin' rocked man!!! I must read the book again! Totally loved how Dan Brown wove all this into a thriller.

Ahhhh..I can't sleep now!!!

My knowledge on general things suck. I must read up.

I want to shop for a new dress for Asean Night!! It's on 8th August. Found a really cool place that I would like to check out. ADELYN!!!!!

End.

2009-07-04T06:34:00.000-07:00

Ok..I don't think anyone will even be reading my blog by now..anyways, I don't really care la..

So, exams are finally; after what seems like a gazilllion years, my exams are over!!!!!

Anyways, here's what happened throughout the exam week.

The Indons and Thai scholars are quarantined coz they are under the list of infected countries with H1N1.

The night before exams, we were super wishing that someone from school would get H1N1 so that school will be closed and exams, postponed and we would have more time to study. Ankush volunteered to get it so the hostel will be quarantined.haha..he was like, "As long as it isn't fatal. I don't wanna die!!"

So, every night, we had H1N1 update. The count kept rising. Republic poly closed. Raffles had two cases. But school still didn't close. We soon gave up hoping and exams came and went. I was nocturnal throughout the week.

Screwed my exams...

Sent Adelyn off to the airport yesterday. Her grandaunt passed away. Woke up at 5 smth and together with Nick and Caesar went to Changi to send her off.

After that, we explored Terminal 2 and 3. Freaking big weiii....my second time there. My first time was when I was still in kindergarten. I was 6. We went to New Zealand.

Took a lot of pics. But Caesar din charge his batt and it konked halfway=( otherwise we would have had more pics.

Watched Transformers today. Freaking rocked man! Great effects and fight scenes and humour. Saw it at The Cathay at Dhoby Ghaut. It was shown at The Grand Cathay (the biggest cinema there.) and the whole theatre was completely filled!!all the way to the front! Luckily we bought the tix earlier.

Shall upload the pics some other time.

Ciaos

2009-06-08T02:46:00.000-07:00

I'm finally back in JB=) Actually I was back since Friday but went up to KL since Saturday till today. Original plan was to go up this Friday but if we come back on Sunday, my bros will have school the next day and so, will not have time to prepare for school. But in going up last Friday, I can't meet Rav, Aaron and Nick in KL=( bubu..and I couldn't meet Kar Inn and Sam this holidays too=( bubu...
Next holiday then...

Anyways,

bought a new pencil box and new New Balance shoes and a skirt and shorts. Aaron a.k.a. 'Ah Kong' will surely have something to say about this. Haha..
"Why you buy new pencil box? Your old one still can use right? See? Ah Kong so good. My pencil box use for so long still haven't change..tsk tsk..*shakes head*

His probable answer.

*******

Had holiday classes from Monday till Wednesday (1st June till 3rd June) then, had YFC meeting with Magdalene-the mentor and Daryl (rep from the beneficiary-COH)

Spent the rest of the day mostly lepaking in Rav and Aaron's room watching Ouran High School Host Club (anime) and Princess Hours and movies and watching Aaron play Devil May Cry 4 where he keeps saying how he played the games ... times before and Rav playing football manager and studying.

Eric (our senior) came down from Taylor's during his semester break. He used to be a scholar.

Oh yea, we also had dinner for like, thrice at the mamak stall at Bendemeer.

********

My com keeps lagging like anything.

*sigh*

Again, Aaron would have something to say about this.

********

Rav, Aaron and Nick has gone for House Council camp till Wednesday.

********

I'm gonna miss you guys..and girls...

********

I'm getting not so thin....Shaddup Aaron=p

********

I must resolve to really concentrate on studying. Common test is important!!!! The As must be in my clutches!

********
Adelyn!!! We must go shopping again after exams!!!!

End.

2009-05-30T10:06:00.000-07:00

Well, I'll be blogging about past events that I've been to lazy to blog about till now. hehe..

We found out that Mr. Leong is leaving us. 'Retiring'. *sobs sobs..sniff sniff* We are all sho sad=,(

DON'T LEAVE US!!!!! We'll get Caesar to stalk you till you come back!!haha...

One day before GP test, instead of studying (I don't take GP!hahaha), we were all chilling by the pool when Rav and Ajay jumped in..I was next to be pushed in courtesy to Nick. Then, Aaron jumped in followed by Ankush, Nick and Kok Ben and Sue Sann. Haha.. Adelyn was last to go in..

We played touch rugby and captain ball in the pool! Modified versions of it though..made to suit the water environment we were playing in. Imagine..our pool was super duper small but all 9 of us managed to get into the pool! Omg.. It was super duper fun!!!

The hostel has a new temporary manager to replace Mdm Tang because she went on holiday. Don't like the new hostel management (as I've already stated so on my PM on MSN). Super 'cellulose' as Caesar would call it. Means rigid and adheres strictly to the rules. Caesar is some other being from a distant planet who has a totally higher level of thinking.

Anyways, back to ranting. The time for lights off in the canteen where we chill and study went from 12am to 11.30pm to 11pm! WTH.. That was during exams period summore. Then when Caesar asked to extend the time, the manager didn't allow...sheesh.. Chase us all to our room summore! WTH...

Then, there was one time, we all stayed up late coz we just finished studying. That day was the day of the Champions League Finals. So we wanted to watch it. We turned on the TV in the canteen for the first time since I got here and actually watched it (the lights in the canteen were already off). So, we were exploring possible channels that would air the finals because watching it online would suck because of the super uberly lousy internet connection in the hostel. I wonder why they don't ever seem to bother fixing it. M1 and Starhub now has increasing business sales due to selling portable modems to students like us who are deprived of proper internet connections to use during this tiring PW period. So, after that, the manager came at around 1am to chase us to sleep..WTH..spoiler la..and the next day no school summore! So, we went back to our rooms. I went straight to sleep after watching a few episodes of Naruto. Christian, Adrian and gang still went out after that to watch the match. Luckily the manager didn't come out to chase them.

I wonder when the manager sleeps..so late pun belum tidur. Apa la...

Then, another time. We were having such a fun time doing pointless quizzes on Facebook to destress. Laughters aplenty! Caesar look 34 years old=p Then, in comes the manager to chase us to sleep. AGAIN...*groan* she's such a party-pooper.

Yesterday was the start of holidays. We were having karaoke and truth or dare session by the pool. Both Chinese and English songs. Heh...Shing Yee lost her voice! ahaha..Great fun weiii..den we stared at the sky while listening to Tian Tang by Guang Liang. So suitable...staring at the heavens while listening to the song Heaven. LOL...Luckily the manager knows her limits. Never come chase us during holidays. Otherwise,...I got no words to say...

The next day, which is today, we went for the Captainball Z competition in school. Lost teruk teruk. Only drew once! Our divisions were the Team SAJC ppl, the mentors and other J2s..so unfair..of course we takde chance nak menang la! Semua tinggi-tinggi belaka! Tak payah lompat pun boleh dapat bola..At least we drew la... Then after that went with Ariena to Chinese Gardens (one stop away from Jurong East) to search for Yuhua Food Village which was supposed to be selling iceballs according to the impression we got from the internet for our PW. SUPPOSEDLY. Mission completed but target not achieved. The only information we got was that the ice kacang stall lady knew what it was but she didn't know how to do it...sobs=,( The search for ice balls continue...

P.S. To whoever who is reading my blog, if you know of anywhere in Singapore that sells iceballs, please say so on my CBox! Really appreciate it!

Then, went to Vivo City. Adelyn, Ravjit and Nicholas wanted to buy bus tickets to go home for the holidays. Ate Burger King, walked around for awhile, then left. Came home, studied maths, chilled in the canteen, called Kar Inn then came in to sort out YFC business, then blogging this and now, I shall go to sleep..ahhh...

Going to intro JB to Rav, Aaron, Caesar and Nick tmr! yeas...one day trip to JB. heh..going to CS. Lala mall.

Oh wow! the joy of seeing lalas. NOT!!!

2009-05-23T22:45:00.000-07:00

Oh my gosh..just realised I haven't been blogging in ages! Sheesh..blame it on exams and project work..consuming my life...

Some updates:

McDonalds has become a staple food.

Yes..we eat it almost every week! I already got the lime green and pink and blue cup! which means 3 weeks in a row!!!! No wonder I'm past 100%...

Watched the performance held by Drama Club last Saturday. The Love of Three Oranges by Hillary Depiano. Was super hilarious. My school has great actors and actresses;) Shub was great!=)

'Sunbathed' by the poolside with Adelyn and Aaron. Rav joined afterwards. Nick was sleeping as usual. Damn nice to just lie down and soak our feet in the pool and just stare at the sky while listening to music..

Played badminton with Rav, Aaron and Adelyn. Super funny. They make it seem like football. Goalll!!!!! (with Aaron and Rav running about the court) Ohh!! Ankush, Shi Ze and me played table tennis with 2 balls at the same time. Made poor Ankush move damn fast just to hit both balls (It was a handicapped match. 2 against 1. Hehe...gotta give Ankush credit. He was gooood)

Went for a jog yesterday after badminton. Not much stamina in me..stopped running after the first 5 minutes then walked the whole way.

Watched a movie at night at the hostel. Dark Matter. Borrowed from the school library. Quite boring. Rav and Aaron kept forwarding the show. Said they wanted to watch the part where the main character kills. Lol..that was at the end. And the show was based on a true story of a China guy who killed 6 people including himself in America in 1991.

School holidays are next week!!! Yay! Can go back and 'enjoy'= revise for exams..

Ahhhh!!! Gotta get back to doing GPP...sheesh..

*This whole post is random*

2009-04-27T04:49:00.000-07:00

All I need right now is a nice long sleep. How I long for the weekends to be here. Thank God there's a break for Labour Day. I can go back!!!!! muahahaha...

Got an sms saying that I was selected to help out with my school's Guitar Ensemble for SYF (Singapore Youth Festival). I'm the backstage helper. Heh..at least I will get to see all the other competing schools' performance=D

I'm super lagging behind in studies man! Tutorials piling up like anything. Forgot to bring my bio lecture notes tdae. Therefore, I slept throughout the lecture. *oops!* But then again, I'm always doing that. Heh..

KI was fun. As usual. Today, Mr Leong booked the computer lab for us to have our lessons in.

Mr Leong : Don't look around for the cameras. There's two CCTV cameras in the room.

Us : What??

Mr Leong : We are only supposed to use the computer lab when we use the computers. But
we're not. We're only here because of the...

Us : (interrupting him midway) Air-con!!! *laughter*

Mr Leong : Right!!! So everyone pretend to type.

So, he goes around the class leaning over our coms to pretend to teach us smth..loll.

Mr Leong : Those facing the camera better remember to type occasionally!

Damn funny!

Then, we were trying to use Venn diagrams and tables to illustrate the arguments and stuff. Loll...It was unsuccessful of course, except for one.

Anyways, gotta get to my books now. Ciao!

2009-04-24T20:58:00.000-07:00

Well, this week's been one hell of a week! Went out too much, spent too much - had a shopping spree, watched movies, felt guilt creeping up on me, told myself to study, ended up falling asleep, woke up late, felt like ponning school,worried too much, didn't complete tutorials, slept during lectures and tutorials (unconsciously), had a blast for KI (Mr Leong's the best teacher ever!), ate too much, Swensen's, fish and chips, ice-cream, growing fat, went for evening walks, missed home, going home on Thursday!, going to fail maths, going to fail chem, feel even more guilty, setting a timetable!, finally got an empty locker (to store grubs), room might be less messier, telling myself not to go out. Will do well for common test, got into YFC!=D , want to eat satay, ikan bakar, kue tiau kia, fried carrot cake, dim sum, chee cheong fan, teochew porridge, homecooked laksa, 'hiam chai', rendang, nasi lemak!

That about sums up the whole week. Here's some pics!

At The Cathay

Our shopping spree at Suntec

During Student Council Commendation Day at St. Andrew's Cathedral. 09S20 rock on!

Me whole class=)

end.

2009-04-17T22:27:00.000-07:00

I just had my interview for the YFC this morning. Judges liked our idea of the carnival=))))

There were tons of people there! Our interview was delayed for like, 30 minutes but all in all, it only took 1 hour. After that, we treated ourselves to Carl's Jr! ahaha..the burger damn nice weii..my first time.haha..but damn expensive lo...have a bad cough now.

Today, my room feels super hot! Actually everyday oso super hot when aircon not turned on..I waiting for 2pm when the aircon can be turned on. Then, I'm gonna crash!

Have to type out and brainstorm for another case study and strategies for PW. AGAIN...getting sick and tired of this man! Everything also not good enough..haix...luckily can email to teacher. So, I'll just mail it tonight then=)

I think I spend too much on food edi..Conclusion: I'm getting fat. Ate pizza at 12.30am last night summore XP

AHH..tmr got interview for Scholar's Comm..wish me luck! really hope can get into this one.

I actually dunno what to blog about anymore..my thoughts are all over the place. Scattered. So I'm just blogging about whatever pops up in my mind. Random crappolo=p

I feel life is too fast-paced here. It's like the button for fast-forward on my Remote Control of Life spoilt so I cannot change speed or slow down. It's like in the blink of an eye, whooosh! One week gone. Half of JC1 is nearly over..

Someone's still not talking to me..dunno why. i'm confused. Should I take the initiative to talk? But everytime I try to start a convo, the person just give one word answer..what's the point of me trying?? Anyways, I'm not doing anything wrong oso..why the hell am I bothered??

Blogging using my mobile modem btw=) hehehe..now no need go canteen just to go on9 den worry about finding power outlet to charge my com when batts going flat. Hah!

2009-04-13T08:18:00.000-07:00

I'm getting fed up with people who take me for granted. Overdoing it just makes me pissed. I have a limit as to how much I can tolerate and take!!! Damn!

2009-03-30T08:14:00.000-07:00

A thousand apologies for not updating my blog for so many days now. Just feel that I got a lot of things going on. This sucks. I have barely enough time for my own self-revision and I feel I am lacking behind. I did quite badly for the first assessment-based exam. Expected though. Didn't get to learn the O Level stuff by the time exams came.

School has been great so far. Still don't really like the long hours. I'm not getting enough sleep. My eyebags are darkening. I should just be a polar bear for a day and hibernate all day long. As I'm typing this, my eyes are telling me to sleep. GO TO SLEEP!!! Nowadays, I really treasure sleep man.

I want to watch a movie!!! I want to go shopping!!!

Sorry, this is all just random crap. It's what I'm feeling now. Haha...

Well, toodles! My bed awaits!

I'm officially back in Malaysia..well, since Tuesday actually but I'm only blogging now. It's good to be back after a month plus away from home. Kar Inn came down and stayed with me for the night on Wednesday. Brought her out to City Square (my first time there since I was back). Both of us got an eyesore upon entering CS. Lalaland right in front of McD. Nevermind that..never really liked CS nowadays. So, we ate Kinsahi after not eating Japanese for sooo long. Yay!

19th March

Had to get up early to go Singapore for the Youth For Causes workshop. Darn it. It was at 9am. So, I took the MRT all the way from Marsiling to Orchard. Took me around 34 minutes. No, I wasn't counting. It said so on the board=)

Anyways, By the time I reached Orchard, it was already 8.45am. Nick only arrived around 9am 0.o
So, we were off hunting for the YMCA building. The directions that Nick got the other day was to go to the building opposite the Cathay. So, the only builing we knew was Cathay Cineleisure since we watched movies there before. Nick conveniently forgotten the directions he got right after phoning the person in charge but I remembered it because, luckily, he repeated it to me over the phone. Otherwise, kita dua-dua pun tak tau nak ke mana. LOL..

So, we walked all the way there. Should have gotten off at Somerset instead. Nevermind. Then, when we got there, I saw the National Youth Council building. I immediately thought it was there. Then, the directions we got was that the workshop was on the 4th floor. That building didn't have four floors!!! Sucks man. Had to go hunting. Walked up and down, crossed streets, tried to call the person but no one picked up, so we decided to ask for directions. Went into a fitness centre and asked the guy there. He made a call then, surprise, surprise! Told us there was another cinema on the other side of Orchard called The Cathay. Us foreigners... So, we took the MRT from Somerset and stopped at Dhoby Ghaut and finally found the darn place!!!! Called the person and luckily it wasn't too late for us to still join (by then, it was already 9.45am). Luckily not too late otherwise, I go out to Singapore for nothing. Sheesh..

The workshop ended at 11.40am and it was too early for me to head down to Pasir Ris since Eva and gang were still at customs. So, Nick belanja me lunch! Wheeee.....haha. We ate at Hot Tomato at Plaza Singapura. I had meatball spaghetti and he had a sirloin steak. Haha..Yumm...I like the tomato soup=D Still drooling XP

Then, lepak around awhile. Nick bought 2 polo shirts from Giordano (forever having sales) Then, Kar Inn told me they were at Outram. So, decided to go. Bye Nick! Haha...

So, took another half an hour plus to get down to Pasir Ris. We were going to Wild Wild Wet! Haha...played the super huge slides with the float, Lazy River and all that. There was much screaming and adrenaline rush.

Had to go back early tho to beat rush hour traffic..couldn't join Kar Inn and Wendy at Bugis..Me and Eva headed back-30 mins plus in the MRT again..then boarded the bus and got stuck in the jam. Slept on the bus. Too exhausted. Reached home at about 8pm.

20th March

Ate at T.G.I. Fridays today!!!muahahaha...Then, went for a facial and cut my hair. Don't think my hair looks shorter. I just trim abit to make it neat. Went to cut it at the Elle Academy at Plaza Pelangi where all the hairstylist trainees are. Cost me just 8 bucks to wash, cut and dry me hair=) Sue Sann said hers turned out too short. hehe..shall see it for meself on Sunday.
Had char kuey teow for dinner. Wheeee....
Got a long day tomorrow. Headed to Jusco Tebrau City and lunch with my aunt. I haven't finished tutorials!!!!Help!!!!

2009-03-13T07:45:00.000-07:00

Okayy...EXAMS ARE OVER!!!!!!!!yay=)))))) words cannot express how I'm feeling right now. I can finally sleep early! Ahhhh...peaceful sleep. I really treasure sleep nowadays. Really, seriously. I was mugging like shit this week. My friggin sleep hour's only, max 5 plus hours. Gona catch up on some zzzzz man!

Holidays begin today man!yea!!!!!

Eva and Eka visit me tdae!!!so happy.heh...we makan at the hawker stall. Eka and me both coughing but we still makan fried carrot cake. Heh..my fave. I miss a lot of food back home le..gona make a list of what to have when I get back. After that then I bring them balik to my hostel. They say my room so messy and kecik. Hahaha...memang la. You think palace ke???

Then at 6pm, left for Vivo City coz since Ravjit want get a bus ticket at Harbourfront, so we decided to go there. Ate Yoshinoya after so long didn't eat it. Wanted to buy a cardigan. Takde saiz worr..cannot buy. It was on sale. $15 only le=(

Anyways, My SPM results weren't too bad. But I expected more la..that's all I can say.

Gona go to the IT Fair at Suntec City CC tomorrow. Playing bridge with my friends now. Haha..ciao!

2009-03-07T07:23:00.000-08:00

Exam moods are setting in. I'm studying like shit today. I've been at the canteen for the whole day since I came back from a visit to the doctor this morning. (Ate roti john for breakfast=) yay!) Yea...
I feel like I have no life. But since I came to Singapore, I don't really mind studying. Maybe it's because studying is more fun when you're doing it with friends and stuff where you joke around and talk and laugh.haha..weird huh?

Anyways, spent the whole day doing chem. And until now, I'm not sure that I'm fully done revising chem. This sucks. I've been studying the whole day and not even finish redox!!!! Frustration, frustration. I think even Aaron's bored of me asking him so many questions. Don't know why I can't seem to comprehend even the simplest things. =( It's demoralizing. I'm afraid of screwing up my MSA.

It's stressing.

Apart from that, got an empty feeling inside of me which I can't explain. And I screwed up my friendship with a friend and I don't know where it's headed now.

That's it for today. Tata...gona mug again. Sheesh..books! here I come....

2009-03-03T06:22:00.000-08:00

I am now blogging from my brand new PC!!!! *wink wink* ahaha.. I got it on Sunday. It's a HP Touchsmart tx2 Notebook PC. Yep, a tablet PC. hehehe..I am soooo super duper happy! Muahahaha...finally, the wait is over!!!

Anyways, I wanna apologise to those who wanted to chat with me on MSN but I said I'm busy with work. Soooo SORRY!!!! Seriously..I'm really piled up with tutorials and CCAs and stuff. This sucks man! Plus, if I don't reply you if you sms me, that means my cred for international calls and smses sudah exhausted..sobs..=( Other than that, we're just normal people who are gila-ing (as you can see from my previous post).

MSA 1s (Milestone assesment 1) is next friggin week! 11, 12, 13 March.. Totally not prepared yet. But here I am, blogging.

I basically end school earliest 2.30pm. Latest is 5.00pm. Sooo different from secondary school man! Damn tiring also. Plus the fact that I have to wake up at 5.25am everyday before toilet rush (5 people to a room..whadd'ya expect!). I may suffer from exhaustion very soon. The only time I actually get to sleep till late morning is on the weekends where I crash till 10.30am. Maybe it's because I crash at 1am the night before.

Kar Inn and Sam!!!! thanks weii for the dedicated post for me=) really touched man! (Imagine tears..haha..drama sikit=p )

Now, to blog about my birthday.

My birthday happens to be the same as my friend, Aaron. Sadly, on our birthday, we had to stay in school for CCA till 6pm man! By the time we got home it was near 7pm and we're super tired. Planned to go mamak stall but raining. Party pooper=p

Anyways, at 9pm, Adelyn, Sue Sann, Nick, Ravjit, Duc and Shi Ze celebrated our birthday with a cake they bought from Bendemeer (It's not a shop name. It's the road name.) I got a rose from Rav=) Don't simply think. It's not red. I got 4 flowers ever since I got here=) yayness! haha..won't tell you who give. Haha..

Then, for my pressie! It's a cushy button-shaped pillow!! heh..totally love it. Now I have 4 inhabitants on my bed. My pillow, bolster, 2 bears and the cushy pillow!=D
Aaron handmade drew a birthday card for me on an A4 paper cut in half. He's such a good manga artist. You should see the manga he drew on my com! super chun..Aaron's pressie was Marks and Spencer chocolate chip cookies and chocolate coated digestive biscuits. So nice!!!! And an elephant shaped pouch thingy which is like a soft toy but you can hang it and put stuff into the holder.

On Sunday, my family came down and we went to Funan to get my lappie=) Then, celebrated my birthday at Swensen's and got a free ice-cream! We ordered the Firehouse Happy Birthday ice-cream. Then, the waiter asked whether it was someone's birthday. My parents pointed to me (padahal it is actually 2 days past my birthday). But anyways, they said it was free. yay!! Then, I was sung to and got a balloon-made flower! (that makes one of it!) After that, it's back to the hostel!

That's all I wanna blog about. I'm feeling sick and having a bad cough. Head throbs but I have to study. Sleeping early is sort of not an option. Lol..Cross-country run is tomorrow at ECP (East Coast Park). Just gonna walk the whole 3.2km and enjoy the breeze. heh.. It's a miracle if I don't faint halfway through. Lol..

Well, goodnight peeps!

P.S. Thanks Kar Inn for listening to my whining the other day. It's all solved and we're talking again=) You're my number one whinerbag!!! haha..(To Sam Sam, if you see this, tell Kar Inn for me pls! Thanks. If you're curious to know, ask Kar Inn. I don't mind. Btw, how was the kena-ing her thing??haha..)

2009-02-23T04:11:00.000-08:00

Now, I shall blog about Unleashed which I went to last Saturday. Unleashed is like a talent show held for all scholars organized by the scholar's committee.There were people who were seriously overdressed. Like they going for prom liddat.

The highlight of my night was when we played this game where you had to pass the rubber band around using a straw in 30 seconds but to a person of the opposite gender. The last person with the rubber band after 30 seconds has to come onstage. When it was my turn to pass the rubber band to friggin Aaron, he turned the other way and refused to take the rubberband. This is 'sabo', man!! So, I had to go onstage..damn! I have never done this kind of going up on stage thing because of some game before!

Anyways, hehe..I get to choose someone of the opposite gender to be my partner onstage. Revenge! muahahaha...of course I get Aaron to come onstage. Payback time!

For forfeit, the person who had the rubberband last had to stuff as many marshmellows into their partner's mouth. The most marshmellows stuffed wins. So, the first pair managed to stuff 7 marshmellows. Then, the 2nd pair, 8. The 3rd pair, 9. We were the last and Aaron managed to stuff 10 marshmellows in his mouth weii!!! haha...so we WON!! We got handphone holders- the cute one. Aaron's is a penguin, mine's a duck=)

Me and Aaron onstage. I'm the second girl from the right. Aaron's beside me.

Me stuffing marshmellows into Aaron's mouth.

Eventhough I look weird in this photo, I had to post it coz Aaron's expression is seriously funny!!!

Group photo!!!

The performances were quite ok. The crowd was seriously 'dead' tho. Some don't even bother clapping after each performance. Damn!

The food was definitely better than hostel food. Wayy better. There were 20 varieties!

Kevin was 'dead' the whole night. He even slept thru the performances! Dunno why he paid $20 to go there to sleep.

That's all. A bit short, but yea...

This is my Orientation Group photo!

2009-02-16T06:30:00.000-08:00

Ok, me and my friends (Duc, Nicholas, Lai Hout, Putt, Caesar [it's not his real name] , Kevin) passed by the playground thingy where you train and exercise and stuff. So I gila-gila ask them to play awhile la..so we played around for abit. Heh..

Anyways, here's the pics.

2009-02-14T07:07:00.000-08:00

Happy Valentine's Day to all you happy couples out there=)

My day was spent going to Bras Basah Complex to get a graphic calculator for Maths which cost $145!!! Friggin expensive weii!!! Crap la..

My monthly allowance came!I'm rich!!!and poor again.

Anyways, nothing much to blog about.

Forgive my lack of blogging. Just not in the mood=(

2009-02-05T04:52:00.000-08:00

Nowadays, I get the increasing feeling of the need to have a real close friend to confide doubts and troubles I have so I don't bottle those feelings up and eventually explode. Seriously. You don't know how left out I feel everyday.

Inferiority.

It's driving me insane.

Eva, Erika, Serene and Jasmynn! I need you guys here!!!

Passed my KI (Knowledge and Inquiry) entrance test. Didn't expect to pass it actually. They asked questions like

"Does a unicorn have one or two horns?"
"Look around the room. There is a table. Does it exist?" Write an 80 word response.

Explain the reasoning behind the errors in the sentence:

"Dynamo (detergent) is more economical than Attack because it is cheaper."
"School teachers wear court shoes because they would look more professional."

That's about all I can remember.lol..there were many others still.

Anyways, I'm taking the subject combination: Bio, Chem, Maths and KI.

Wish me luck as I embark on my next challenge people!lol..

Nothing much happens these few days. It's just more orientation. And we're getting bored of it. My energy level's getting low. Well, actually everyone's. Too much cheering for our teams and stuff. Plus the fact that I take a super long tym to get ready for bed. Maybe coz I'm not used to the routine here yet. So, I get less sleep.

Well, got to go now. Uniform needs to be ironed.
Till next time!

2009-01-31T02:20:00.000-08:00

Hey people!

So, it's my first post all the way from Singapore. Sorry for not updating for so long. Was quite busy with orientation and 'bonding' with my new batch mates. Anyways..really, really, REALLY missed home the first 2 days. Especially the second day and I was actually crying. Too depressed la.heh..

My hostel's really cool actually. Although it's like, the smallest hostel, but there's free air-con and internet, which other hostels require scholars to pay. There's a wading pool-we chillax there every night and listen to guitars. Oh! another thing. I dunno why, but it's super windy here at night but super hot in the daytime. Like desert. So, I'll sometimes shiver coz it's too cold.

I'll post some pics on my hostel later on. Haven't gotten around to taking pics yet, actually.

28th January 2009

Arrived at Mcnair Lodge super duper early. I was one of the first one here. Filled up some forms, then went to the MOE to get the scholarship agreement signed. After that, registered for a number with Singtel. It's a prepaid line, so I spent like, nearly $10 bucks within 2 days by calling home. Before going back to the hotel, my parents, brother and I ate at Ajisen Ramen. Super chun, man! But somehow, I miss Kinsahi la.

Then, my parents left at 4.30pm to miss rush hour traffic, leaving me to fend for myself. Poor me. At that time, I din even know any friends. So, I grabbed my laptop-my saviour! and sat at the canteen-the only place with internet access.

29th January 2009

First day of MOE orientation.

We went to Raffles Instituition. Damn friggin nice place, I tell you. So, we were saying that MOE wanted to give a big-time first impression of Singapore to us or to 'intimidate us' so they brought us to the best JC in Singapore, I think.heh..

Our orientation was organized by TRYBE. It's pronounced as tribe but the 'i' in the middle was changed to 'y' to represent youth. Really cool people. The 'theme' that day was Intercultural Learning to mainly bridge the gap between all scholars from different cultures and countries. (There are scholars from India under the SIA Youth Scholarship. Real nice people.)

So, we were divided into groups and then played games like the Alligator River Story. We had to discuss the best and worst character and give reasons why we chose that character, then rank them. So, the discussion was quite heated. But I din really join in coz, whatever I thought, when I wanted to say it out, someone else was faster. So, I was super quiet. Partially coz I damn emo that day.

Later, my group facillitator, Kai taught us new games and it was super funny. After that, they brought us pair by pair into a room. When I entered, there were candles in the middle in a circle like some kind of ritual was going on. Initially, when I was outside, I thought it was gonna be some scary thing where they go 'BOO!' the moment you enter to give you the fright of your life. So, when I entered, I thought they were gonna summon spirits or smth.lol..everyone else who went in earlier than us seemed confused and bored. They all sat in a circle. Guys on chairs, girls on the floor beside the chairs (unfair, man!). Then the lady was making rat noises and wouldn't use normal English. She goes 'tsk tsk tsk' (smth like that) to instruct us on what to do. So you can bet there was confusion on what she wanted us to do. Anyways, the whole aim is to make us adapt to the different cultures in Singapore and stuff.

Then, had a mass dance to the Algorithm March. It's a dance sorta invented by Japanese. Youtube it! It's super cool man! The dance damn cute.

Shan't elaborate more. Lazy to type.haha..

30th January 2009

Went for my medical examination today. Got injected and X-rayed. The X-ray mach here is super advanced. Not like the huge one in JB. You just have to 'hug' the screen to get your X-ray taken.

Then, it was a visit to my school. Damn big. Chun-ted. Met my teacher mentors: Mr Benjamin and Miss Karen.

Went mamak stall hunting at night coz Ravjit misses teh tarik.lol.. Ate at a mamak stall at Bendemeer Street. Didn't order anything coz I ate at the hostel before we went. Kept taking pieces of Nicholas' roti tisu.heh..

Surprisingly, people here dunno what's roti canai. Must say roti prata den oni they noe.lol..it's like a totally different thing here la..

Another thing..people here like to use acronyms even for the shortest of words like umbrella is refered to as 'ella'. WTH. lol..there are other stuff too...but that was the most memorable one. Maybe they got influenced by too much of Rihanna's 'Umbrella' song. "Ella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh"

31st January 2009

Went to Anderson JC for last day of MOE Orientation. We had so much fun playing treasure hunt around AMK (Ang Mo Kio) Hub- shopping mall and at the Bishan Public Library. The library is huge weii..next tym i can chillax there after school or smth.lol..The main aim's to get us ready to go to school so they had activities based on school life and stuff. Real cool people.

At night, went to Little India with a few friends. Ate prata and drank teh tarik. I'm getting fat.

1st February 2009

Went out with my parents and bros and cousin who came to visit. Went to Orchard Road. Bought a Billabong wallet-the long kind (yay!!!) Now I can just clutch it and act big-time abit.heehee..

2nd February 2009

Orientation at school. It was crazy la..had to mass dance to 'Beat It' by Michael Jackson. Crazy stuff..couldn't catch up with the beat coz it was a lil too fast.lol..Just learn today, ok??
Lots of fun la..and there's still a whole week of it!heh..but tiring.

ok..that's all for now. Till next time! Toodles!

Love Story

2009-01-06T02:16:00.001-08:00

We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes
And the flashback starts
I'm standing there
On a balcony in summer air

See the lights,
See the party, the ballgowns
I see you make your way through the crowd
and say hello
Little did I know

That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles
And my daddy said, stay away from Juliet
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you please don't go, and I said

Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story, baby, just say yes

So I sneak out to the garden to see you
we keep quiet because we're dead if they knew
So close your eyes
Escape this town for a little while
'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter
And my daddy said, stay away from Juliet
But you were everything to me
I was begging you please don't go, and I said

Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story, baby, just say yes
Romeo save me, they're trying to tell me how to feel
This love is difficult, but it's real
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess
It's a love story, baby, just say yes, oh oh

I got tired of waiting,
Wondering if you were ever coming around
My faith in you was fading,
When I met you on the outskirts of town, and I said

Romeo save me, I've been feeling so alone
I keep waiting for you but you never come
Is this in my head, I don't know what to think
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said

Marry me Juliet, you'll never have to be alone
I love you and that's all I really know
I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress
It's a love story, baby, just say yes
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Cuz we were both young when I first saw you

Shoot. I missed my first Christmas post!...but it's never too late to make up for it now, is it?

Well, spent Christmas in KL in a super crowded Megamall. Practically every friggin shop was overflowing with people. Totally ruined my mood for a little Christmas shopping. Sales attract people. So does holidays. Really crowded places and me don't fit.

(Note To Self: I must get a boyfriend who can tolerate spending the whole day in a shopping mall waiting for me to finish shopping. I wouldn't want him to feel bored while I go shop-hopping.)

My first visit to my aunt's super huge 3 storey house. I get to exercise my legs without getting out of the house! (Nice la you, Erika..get to stay there next year.)

My aunt got us super nice cupcakes for Christmas. I feel like baking and decorating cupcakes sometime in the near future. Time and place don't permit it. Lack of proper utensils for decorating too. I'll just admire them for now. Maybe next time I'll bake one for each of you. When I have my own kitchen, that is.

Anyways, spent Christmas Eve and the 2nd day of Christmas in the company of my BFLs. heh..

Here's some of the pics we took=)

(You can see Kar Inn with her highlighted hair.heh)

Taken at the rooftop of 1 Utama. Never ever knew that we could have access to the rooftop. Turns out that people go up there to bat (baseball).

Our first attempt at taking the pic with a self-timer My camera was perched precariously on the ledge with the wind threatening to push it down the building. (Sam! You ran too slow! So far apart.)
Sam looks like a little kid with his wide smile. Haha...

We gila-gila try on dresses we very well can't afford in the dressing room. If you can't have it, you can at least wear it! Love the dress I had on..too bad it's well off my budget and mum says I won't find the occasion to wear it often. Hopefully when I finally go to a prom, I can have the occasion to buy it.

Met up with Mrs. Emilda in KL. I miss you, teacher!!!!

Well, January's coming. School's gonna start for my bros. Maybe I can finally have peace and quiet while they're at school? Maybe not.

Gotta ask Eva about another trip out to Singapore sometime soon before Erika starts her academic semester.

P.S. : To those of you already in NS camps, enjoy!

2008-12-21T03:54:00.000-08:00

Passed my Undang last Wednesday..gonna get me a 'L' license tomorrow.hehehe =)

Had a blast when Sam came down on Friday and we went CS..watched Yes Man! Super funny (duhh..it's a comedy).

I found that CS isn't as fun as it used to be. Back then when I was still in primary school, CS was our number one destination whenever my friends and I wanted to hang out. Now, I'm not so sure anymore. That day, we walked round and round in circles. one floor after the other. (Sorry Sam! it must've been the worst outing you've ever been on!! Thanks for belanja-ing me Kinsahi btw..) The only interesting place I found there was MPH. Yea, I'm a bookworm. Sue me.

I'd rather hang out at Leisure Mall instead of CS. At least there's a bowling alley and cheaper cinema tickets.

But that's my opinion. CS may still be one of the hot-spots for students of JB to chill.

I long for ramen!!! maybe it's because watching too much Naruto and him eating ramen has stimulated my Japenese taste buds. My next mission is to go on a quest to find the best ramen in town.LOL.. Can't help it. I'm a nutter.

Time sure passes slowly. I always thought that there were loads of things to do after SPM. Well, I thought wrong. There is actually nothing much to do for me after SPM besides reading, online-ing and watching Naruto. Shopping's left for when I go to KL on Wednesday where I'll probably go out with my friends. I miss Ikea hotdogs and currypuffs.

Someone better get ready to belanja me!=p

I got my hostel posting on Wednesday. Gonna be staying at Mcnair Lodge. So I suppose I would be going to Saint Andrew's JC at Potong Pasir which is still pretty far from the hostel although it's considered the nearest hostel. I suppose I have to commute by bus to and from school a lot. Lotsa stuff I have to straighten out before I head off for the next chapter in my life on the 28th of January (the 3rd day of CNY..*sobs*)

Well, back to Naruto-ing and eating homemade chocolate-coated fruits. Yumm..

2008-12-17T06:47:00.000-08:00

This post is long overdue..thanks to my bros who hog the com day and night.

Anyways,
Went to Cameron Highlands last weekend. My first trip with my family after SPM.

Huge chicken! Heh..jakun abit since I never saw a chicken that big before.
X'mas Turkey. Hehehe...

They wrapped cotton wool round the cactus. Reminds me of cotton candy. Hmm..haven't had that in a while...

Me and my cuzzie.

Wasn't as cold on the first day. Thus, u can see us prancing around in shorts. Heh.
We're whacking butts..now, who's idea was it?
I don't know what he's trying to do..Jump off, i guess..

My beloved breakfast at Equitorial Hotel...Yumm...*slurp, burp, glurp*

My bro..with his nice 'new hair'.

At the Cameron Bharat tea plantation.

An orchid at the Orchid Farm..isn't it pretty?
Finally, cactuses! You can't go anywhere without seeing cactuses everywhere you go.

Yee ha! Ride'em cowgirls=p

At the Heritage Hotel..near where I stayed. So we could take night walks and hang out there instaed. Had Haagen Dazs ice-cream..yea, I know..crazy of us to eat a RM30 ice-cream on a cold night in Cameron. But it's been ages since I had one!!!

Last stop, the waterfall on the way down..The water was friggin cold!!!!

Finally...

2008-12-06T05:54:00.000-08:00

Phew..now I finally have the time to update my blog. Haha..sorry for the long hiatus. Finally got the pics I have been waiting for.

2nd December 2008

At 12.30 on this fateful day,Spm is finally over!!! I set down my pen and paper and waited for the examiner to collect my last exam paper with a huge grin on my face. Finally.. after toiling for so many years I have completed high school.

Celebrated by going to that newly opened Grand Paragon Hotel just by Omega (our former tuition centre) with Eva, Jasmynn, Serene and Erika. Had a buffet lunch. Cost us RM35++ which came up to RM40.75 per person. Didn't think it was worth it. I never got to eat RM40.75 worth of food. LOL.
There was fried bee hoon, laksa, chicken rice, chicken, egg tofu, rice, cakes, a chocolate fountain for us to coat strawberries and jambu with chocolate, jelly and some other stuff I didn't care to try. The kind of food you can find anywhere. The hotel's kinda nice though. Haha..

My chocolate coated strawberry. Yumm...

with sago pudding and coconut milk and gula Melaka.
Brownie cake thingy.

So, after that, we went to Plaza Pelangi just across the road. Found out Jasmynn likes to watch WWE too. What violent girls we are.

With our stomachs full and filled, we headed of to the arcade to 'exercise'. Kononnya.

Erika and Serene battling it out on touch hockey. Ganasnya!

After that, took a taxi that cost us RM5 to Leisure Mall. Had to split into 2 taxis because the taxi wouldn't take 6 even though where we wanted to go wasn't that far away. What law-abiding taxi drivers. We're so glad to have you around O.O

Eva booked tix for Twilight the day before. But she didn't need to actually. Not many people come on weekdays and to Leisure Mall. Most would prefer City Square instead. Anyway, we arrived too early and as usual, killed time at the arcade waiting for the movie to start since there was too little time to start a bowling game. I finally bought my Ruroni Kenshin Soundtrack =D Muahahaha...Serene, you know how I feel. Heh.

Our favourite Daytona racing game.

Twilight rocked. Rubber pits says I'm a typical girl. Haha..maybe it's coz almost every girl's smitten with Robert Pattinson and his portrayal of Edward Cullen, the lead actor in the movie.

3rd December 2008

That was the day Eva, Serene, Erika, Jasmynn, Adeline, Joyce and me went to Singapore. My first trip alone with friends. Hehe..

We planned to start our journey across the muddy and polluted Selat Tebrau at 9am. So I was up by 7.30 getting ready. Partly, I couldn't sleep because I was excited and it was my first day without having to study or go to school.

Adeline and Erika arrived at my place at 8.30 and Jasmynn and Joyce came at 8.50 to pick us up.
Arrived at the bus terminal at customs at 9. Waited for Serene and Eva to arrive then boarded the bus.

We were greeted with a long queue at Customs where they check your passports and stuff. Loads of Japanese students a.k.a. tourists were there. We separated into 2 queues. Me, Eva, Erika and Adeline in one queue while Jasmynn, Serene, and Joyce were at the other queue. We started with saying the word BOMB out loud. But not so loud. It's a sensitive word there. We think.
We waited, and waited....and waited. We had to wait for so long because the Japs had visas and stuff to check. Eva said they didn't go straight to Changi Airport instead of entering via Malaysia was because Senai airport was cheaper. Lol. Finally, it was our turn. Adeline and me started with that song Finally by Fergie. That was our song of the day. Haha..

By the time we finished, the other 3 musketeers were still far behind. We were laughing at them for picking the wrong queue. Had our bags and self scanned. Maybe we would bring bombs into Singapore. Who knows?

Worst thing was we had to wait super duper long for the other 3 to get their passports stamped. Altogether, we spent about 2 hours at customs. Half a day wasted. Our legs were already aching even though our day hasn't quite started yet. Serene was smart enough to switch queue and by the time she got out, we still had to wait for Jasmynn and Joyce. That's how slow their queue was. The customs officer took so friggin long to check a person's passport.

Anyway, then we had to wait for the bus. Another 15 minutes of waiting.

We're tired of waiting!!!!
Then, boarded the bus to Kranji MRT station to get to Jurong East.

View from the MRT station. Makes you wonder how this 'clean and green' sight is a rarity in Malaysia.

By the time we got to Jurong East, we were famished. Went around the Science Centre to scout for food. We were desperate hungry people. Settled for a Tolido Set which had 2 Chipolatas (smaller version of sausages), a sunny side-up egg, a bacon, baked beans and toast washed down with a cup of tea. Yumm..

Whoops! Only remembered to take a pic of food after I gobbled it down. Heh

Erika and Eva finished eating first so they went to ask about the tix price to get into the Science Centre. Ended up getting a package of spending 2 hours at the Science Centre and an hour at Snow City (the main destination) for only $16.

Not gonna elaborate much on what we did at the Science Centre. I'll let the pictures do the talking.

The gigantic moving T-Rex with sound effects that greeted us at the entrance.

Tickets please..
Some water park for the little kids to play.

From this landscape of mountains and waves, can you spot a person's face? of course you can.
There it is.

Upside-down..
and down-side up!

The door is opening as you move left to right.So's the running cheetah.

Can you spot 4 people?

The pianist
The violinist.When you point to one ball thingy, all you fingers point back at you!

My beheaded head! How can I be blogging???

Adeline was peacefully beheaded.

Erika and Jasmynn were happily beheaded. Look at Jasmynn posing!

Distorted demos.

1st, a normal looking face.

2nd, she still looks normal upside-down.

3rd, a totally distorted face.

Next, perspectives can deceive. Observe the big guy grow smaller.

Swirly stuff that's supposed to resemble galaxies..i think.
Can you see the ring of smoke? Adeline and I did it. heh.

Something called Jacob's Ladder if I remember correctly. Electricity moving up the 2 wires.

Cartesian diver based on Archimedes Principle. SERENE!!!
A swirling tornado in a tank!

Stuff at the marine life section:

Sea greens

Hello my little Nemo!

The starfish's butt.
Open wide!! Unagi! Siapa mau??
Saw little fishes in the tank with eels. All crowded and swimming at the surface. Too scared to go down lest they be eaten..Poor little fishies.

Crabbie patties!!!
No idea what the strawberries are doing here.

The first part of the genome section was a little boring. Ended up taking a pic instead. There were so many mirrors.

The deadly Aedes mosquito.
And Anopheles mosquito.

Me and Adeline with the pair of 3-D glasses we had to put on to watch some show. Aiya! I din take out my other pair of glasses. lol

Adeline looks more convincing as the 'macho' man..*Ahem* Erika!!!

No idea what this is...Inside the nose...

While waiting for the time to start our Snow City adventure, decided to go for a ride at the IMAX theatre.
It costs $4 for a headache and to see fake dinos.

Had a cold blast in Snow City! Small place but we had fun. Sliding down the slope on our trusty toilet bowl seats a.k.a. butt rest. Kidding. They were floats and looked like toilet seats. the butt side of our pants were wet form snow as a result. It was -5 degrees in there! Had snow spattered all over our faces as we were sliding down the slope. Had on a coat that made me look inflated. Gloves were of not much use. Hands were freezing like popsicles anyway. So were our legs. We only had on jeans.

Don't have much pics. We weren't allowed to bring in cams. Profit-making people they are. Had loads of photos to choose from. Probably because we had the photographer following us to take a pic for us wherever we went. I think we had the most pics taken. Heh.. Spent $10 on this photo.

By the time we finished, it was about 5pm. Decided to go to Orchard Road to see the Christmas lights and decos. It's always the main attraction this time of the year.

After much oohs and ahhs at seeing the Christmasy lights, hopped on a train to Bugis where had dinner. We were already wayy behind schedule to get home.

Had dinner at Pastamania. Finally got to try the spaghetti there after so, so long. It was delicious!

So, we waited for the bus to get back home. It was a long queue. You should have seen the queue. Lucky for us, 2 buses came and we managed to make it back half an hour from the actual estimated time.

Brought home J CO doughnuts and a snowman=)
Howdy!

Even though we spent half the day travelling in cramped MRTs and waiting in long queues instead of enjoying as we were supposed to, I learned that,

I have to:

1. Get comfortable walking shoes as we tend to travel long distances in Singapore even with
efficient and CLEAN public transport because you don't always get seats on the MRTs no
matter how long they are.
2. Get into a queue where the customs officer is not an elderly person.
3. Watch where you're walking so you don't ACCIDENTALLY step on stuck-up people's shoes or bump into them because you don't want them glaring at you as if you committed a huge offense even though you apologize profusely. Not like back home where you apologize and the other person just smiles and says never mind and we both walk our separate ways.
4. Tell the stupid person behind you that you DID NOT cut their queue because you stood there first, instead of sitting down on a chair away from the queue and expect your place to be there for you when you get back. Snobs.
5. I can't believe that I'm going to .......!!!!

End.

2008-12-02T07:22:00.000-08:00

I'll update my blog after I work out some kinks. Sorry 'bout the long hiatus.

Last Day

2008-10-26T00:23:00.000-07:00

Well, yesterday was the last day of Saturday tuitions

Us and Mr Yong. The best add maths teacher ever!!

Us and Mr Lim after our last chem tuition. *sobs* damn sad la...

I'll always miss Saturday tuitions..

Torres is HOT!

2008-10-24T07:14:00.000-07:00

Getting really bored of this.

Study, study, study.

Told myself that I MUST, ABSOLUTELY MUST finish reading Sejarah this week! But then again, here I am onlining.

I must thank Mary btw for getting the songs by Motion City Soundtrack stuck in my head.

You hold me down..
You hold me down..

Thank you Mary.

Teacher just had to postpone the Bank Negara Scholarship interview to 4th Nov. She just had to postpone it nearer to SPM la..(initially it was on the 28th Oct. But she can't make it to school, date's postponed and I'm screwed.)

Real nervous about this. Fann's gonna ace this. (Ya..don't start)

Autographs are piling up. Don't know what to do.

Fernando Torres is H.O.T.! Sizzling HOT. You should see his Facebook pics.

Liverpool's going down this Sunday=p I don't mind Torres scoring as long as it's not the winning goal=p hahaha..

Lastly, Adeline..maybe I should switch from Lampard to Torres XP

Good luck people for your SPM.

Signing off.

2008-10-08T07:17:00.000-07:00

The first time you're seeing me in my new haircut. lol..lovin' it=)
Yeap..that's my youngest bro.
Beginning to dislike the word "after SPM".

"Wanna go to Singapore!" After SPM
"I feel like bowling.." After SPM
"Archery?" After SPM
"KL?"
"Holidays?"
"Freedom?"

After SPM

Everything oso after SPM..aih..

Missing football matches. Especially the Champions League ones..reduced to watching highlights at 7.30pm on Astro.

I wouldn't say that Trials were good. Especially when I expected to do better. Missing that A1 by just 2 to 3 marks. ARGGGH!!!

SPM is drawing nearer. So is freedom. Each day is one day closer to them. Just bought the Rurouni Kenshin cds for half the price! After so long..I finally have it! Real bargain..

So kawaii!!! ahha..

Stop.

Now my afternoons are filled with hours of anime. (I finally know how you feel, Serene.) Marathon. Addiction. AHHHH!!! The guilt and pressure is building. I only hope I would snap out of fantasy and back to reality. Face it. SPM is coming, Carey!!!

Today.
Majlis Anugerah Cemerlang.
We all decided that the trophies were nice. For us Prefects, we had our names on the plate.

Nice ryt? hehe..
The certs weren't as nice. There were ones with gold borders on them. We didn't get that tho'..

To kill time while waiting for our names to be called up, we all started a shoe fight thanks to Erika. Started the idea of pulling Eva's shoelaces so she would have to retie them. Ended up involving Elsie, Wann Chiing and the rest of us. Eva and Elsie then started trying to tug each others shoes off. In the end, Elsie's tie, shoe and blazer kena 'rampas'. Real funny. The afternoon session prefects were looking at us like we were Primary 1 kids. Playing childish games. Then after that, we played the sign game. Changed Erika's to 'flapping wings' despite much protests from her. People..you know why=p

Chong Wei lost the Macau Open..aih.

Dunno when I'll update again.

Signing off.

2008-10-01T05:40:00.000-07:00

Went to CS with Jasmynn, Adeline, Erika, Hema and Serene. Caught a movie : Mamma Mia! Real funny. Jasmynn's gonna buy the soundtrack. I think I'll borrow hers;)

Then, decided to work on Rachel's birthday card. It's gonna be so chun! ahha..

The main purpose of this outing was actually to celebrate her belated birthday but..she couldn't make it=(

Anyway..we did what everyone does at CS. Lepak. Wandering aimlessly. Wanted to play Daytona at the arcade, but public holidays come hand in hand with crowds. So the arcade was full and we were left disappointed. Jasmynn was so looking forward to beating me and Serene..well, too bad Jasmynn! Next tym then=p

Eva's in KL..couldn't join us. She wouldn't have missed anything much though.Except for the movie. She'll be having much more fun than us anyway.

Back to the main purpose of this post.

Happy Birthday Kar Inn!!!!

Wait for ur birthday card in the post ya! But it'll be late. Gomenasai!! (means SORRY!)
You'll get ur pressie when I next visit KL. Dun worry..I'll wrap it with many, many newspaper like u did wid mine. Den I make sure I give it to u in shopping centre oso=p

Sam just messaged me to tell me I have my own island..haha..Pulau Carey=p not many people have their own island, okay?? I feeling very big tym now=p

end.

2008-09-28T06:58:00.000-07:00

Straightened my hair again today. My third time. I actually went there to cut my hair but ended up restraightening it. haha..mum says she spent a fortune on me today.

My hair
A Seiko watch
A shirt
A frying pan (Coz it was on sale. Just because I said 'buy it' means she spent it on me. Oh well, I'll be using it anyways)

I like my new watch.. Has a blue face. Automatic. Dunno whether I like my hair. Gave myself a fringe. Maybe I'll look weird coz my fringe is like..flat. And it's now short.

Eva's sure to say something about it since I said something bout hers. ahha..

I find that everytime I cut my hair, I seem to lose a little confidence at first. Maybe it's because I'm scared of what people will think of it? I mean..you do tend to think of what your friends think of it, ryt? Whether they'll like it or not?

Either ways..I shan't bother myself with that.(although..secretly I will..a little)
If I feel good about myself then it's done. My first step to regaining my self-esteem. After all, I'm the one with the new hairdo. Not anyone else. I shall seek comfort in thinking that I would look neater than I ever did in school. (Used to have hair misbehavin' and flying here and there since my hair's frizzy. Very frizzy. Made me look messy. Prefect somemore! Maybe Mrs E will say something like she always does..sarcastically but yet makes us laugh about it. I still remember her commenting about Zetong's 'curtains'..wanting to cut it and all.)

Have to go to the 'sauna' tomorrow..Hope the weather will be a wee bit cooler or that teacher will turn her fan full-speed. Otherwise, we're in for another sweaty day!
Tomorrow's tuition reminds me of my disappointing results for accounts. No, I didn't do badly. Just did not manage to reach my target.

Chelsea won Stoke City yesterday. Yay!!

Man U got a penalty which was the worst decision the stupid referee made. So obvious it wasn't a penalty lorr...apa la. So unfair..

Arsenal lost pulak..to Hull City..Lose at home summore. Embarrasing!

that's all..

end.

Sorry!

2008-09-27T05:13:00.000-07:00

Sorry Kar Inn..can't make it to your prom...yea. I miss you and Sam too!!! Too bad ryt? damn sad la...But when I go KL den we have loads of fun ya!!!

Had lunch at Manhattan Fish Market today at Jusco.Was super full...

Late for tuition by 5 minutes. Teacher keep calling my name coz I talked too much=p

Stupid website jammed. Spoilt my Naruto marathon..haix..

Well, gona holiday till Tuesday till I start studying again. Accounts was a disappointment for me=( Stuck at home this holiday.

Looks like I won't be getting the N96 after all..too expensive. RM3000+
Crazy la..Have to look for another phone.

My sexy lady=p hahaha..censored version=p no la..no obscenities ok!!Just pasted the sticker there for fun..Erika started it!=p

Dunno why..like drawing on Erika's paper during physics tuition..maybe because it's boring? I dunno. Can animate her paper. ahha..She keeps protesting.lol.
I can never draw like this in exams..haix..

end..

Trials are O.V.E.R.!!!

2008-09-25T03:58:00.000-07:00

And today marks the day that trials are officially OVER!!

To mark this special day, Eva, me, Erika, Jasmynn and Serene went to Leisure Mall for bowling and a movie.

First, we had lunch at McD. Nope, we did not punch the clown like someone=p
So, we bought our lunch. They have that McShakers fries again! Yumm...ate like 20 bucks worth of McD..

Then, had bowling. Eva won the game by 10points compared to me. haha..then went to the arcade for a race on the Daytona. Eva won again. But I will get my revenge..hehehe...

Watched Babylon A.D. Real nice! Great action movie..didn't get the whole story though..
Always liked Vin Diesel. haha

Yeap..that's Michelle Yeoh. Damn cool weii!! Vin Diesel with the gun and all..

Then..after movie, got my revenge!!!beat Eva twice in racing. lalala=p *laughing in my heart* only we people who go to the same Add Maths tuition will understand. Haha

that's about it..shall upload the pics we took when Eva sends it to me next tym..

Now, it's hours and hours of anime!!! Don't disturb me!=p

Ciao

>>after this it's SPM *groan*..but then again, I'm looking forward to it being over!!!

2008-09-20T06:42:00.000-07:00

Had a tuition marathon today.

9-11am : Accounts tuition
11.30-1.00pm: Art lessons
2.30-4.30pm : Add Maths tuition
4.45-6.45 pm: Chemistry tuition

Altogether : 7 1/2 hours of tuition.

Ahh..
The things we do for Trials..

At tuition, we had that 'people keep off-ing the air-con' problem. Unbelievable. If they can't stand the coldness..BRING A JACKET PEOPLE!! There's no point in switching off the air-con and then making us switch it on again only for you to switch it off again. Makes sense? No money for jacket? Sit at another place and NOT UNDER THE AIR-CON!

Anyway..

After every marathon, there must be some form of relaxation to take my mind off studies for awhile.
Went to The Zon. They had a Crazy Sale today.

My first shopping spree in weeks.
Bought clothes I would probably need when I go to Singapore.

And chocolates.
LOTS OF CHOCOLATES. Maltesers, Kinder Bueno, Lindt...

Then had kuay teow kia after that..yumm..my fave.ahha

But,..

No..my trials are not over yet!

Monday : Accounts
Tuesday : Biology 3 and Ekonomi Asas 2 ( had to delay the paper since it was clashing with my physics and chem 3 paper)
Wednesday : Seni
Thursday : EST and Ekons 1 (as above)

After that baru FREEDOM.

Looking forward to it..
And to December.

Wanna get this phone.

The Nokia N96.
Check it out.
Really sweet phone.

2008-09-19T06:31:00.000-07:00

The end of biology..Finally! A breather in the form of weekends. Filled with tuition at the 'sauna'. Both on Saturday and Sunday. Eva thinks we shud camp at teacher's house. ahaah..probably not a bad idea considering that Accounts is on Monday.

Next week's the last week for Trials..Jia You, Carey!!
4 more days of exams for me. which means 4 more days of late nights and early mornings.
Then, it's bowling and archery at Danga Mall and so-called 'high class' fried rice at the warung=p

Sent my letter of acceptance yesterday..Guess my future's tied to Singapore for now. Two years of A Levels. Oh well..

Gona get a Crumpler bag the next time I visit Singapore. ahaha..

Waiting for the Camp Rock soundtrack to be out. Addicted to the Jonas Brothers;)

About 5/6 weeks to SPM.

Yayness

2008-09-15T01:05:00.000-07:00

Well, nothing much today..and the past week since it's trials.

This week's gonna kill me! Thanks to the packed timetable and subjects clashing making me stayback at school to sit the papers later.

Anyway, blogging today solely for the reason SOMEONE *ahem,ahem* say I tak update.
=p

Yeap..Liverpool beat Man United over the weekend. Lucky la..thanks to Man U for the own goal which helped Liverpool win it and help Chelsea stay in the lead after that=)

Go Chelsea!!!

Attended the Taylors Principal Awards interview on Saturday. It felt better than my Asean one. Probably coz I had experience dy. haha

15th September 2008

Got accepted for my Asean Scholarship!!!=D

Thanks to the scholarship,
I'm finally will be getting my very own phone=)

Now ada problem..
>>If I get my taylors award oso den macam mana??

Headaches..headaches..
Dunno whether to go Singapore or KL..

ciao people

2008-09-03T00:58:00.000-07:00

This will sorta be my last blog before the Trials.

Anyway, recap..

Yup..again, it's the stupid stuff we draw because we were bored and trying hard not to fall asleep.

Is It You?

2008-08-30T05:58:00.000-07:00

Cassie
Is It You?

I'm looking for a lover not a friend
Somebody who can be there when I need someone to talk to
I'm looking for someone who won't pretend
Somebody not afraid to say the way they feel about you

And I'm looking for someone who understands how I feel,
Someone who can keep it real and who knows the way
The way I like to have it my way
And I'm looking for someone who takes me there,
Wants to share, shows he cares
Thinkin your the one that I've been waiting for

Is it you? is it you?
Maybe you're the one I've been waiting for
Could you be the one for me?
Could you be the one I need?

Is it you? is it you?
Maybe you're the one I've been waiting for
Could you be the one for me?
Could you be the one I need?

I'm looking for someone to share my pain
Someone who I can run to, who would stay with me when it rains
Someone who I can cry with through the night
Someone who I can trust who's heart is right
And I'm looking for someone

And I'm looking for someone who understands how I feel,
Someone who can keep me real and who knows the way

The way I like to have it my way
And I'm looking for someone who takes me there,
Want to share, shows he cares
Thinkin your the one that I've been waiting for

Is it you? is it you?
Maybe you're the one I've been waiting for
Could you be the one for me?
Could you be the one I need?

Is it you? is it you?
Maybe you're the one I've been waiting for
Could you be the one for me?
Could you be this one I need?

Someone who wont take for granted
How much I care
And appreciates that I'm there
Someone who listens
And someone I can call who isn't afraid of love to share

Is it you? is it you?
Maybe you're the one I've been waiting for
Could you be the one for me?
Could you be the one I need?

Is it you? is it you?
Maybe you're the one I've been waiting for
Could you be the one for me?
Could you be the one I need?

Pre- Interview Jitters

2008-08-26T07:06:00.000-07:00

Tomorrow's the big day.

The first time I'll be attending a big-time interview.

Feeling really nervous right now.

Lotsa things rushing through my head.

Really scared I'll screw this interview.

But must have faith.

Think positive Carey!!!

Thanks to all my friends who are giving me all their support.
Thanks Kar Inn and Sam for the big-time support all the way from KL!
Yes, Jasmynn..I'll belanja you guys if I get it. (eh, Serene still haven't belanja la =p)
Yeap Kar Inn and Sam. You'll be the first to know if I get it.

Really wanna study but my mind's just not in the mood. Guilt-ridden. I am soo dead for Trials.

I need a miracle.

Whee...

2008-08-24T07:54:00.000-07:00

Had a neighbourhood gathering at Taman Merdeka today. Nothing much. Was just there to eat and chat..it was really nice there so after makan-ing, my bros and I took a walk around the taman thingy to look-see look-see. T'was like the Hutan Bandar but with a better environment. No playgrounds though.

Ended up taking pictures.haha

I'll let the pictures do the talking.

Our mini shoot out =p

Their macho poses =p

He's fought and he's fallen
He's on his knees before he's on his feet
A sinister romantic
Oh, he's about to be and she's about to see

Teachin' torches to burn bright
She's hanging on the cheek of night
A snowy dove trooping with crows
He never saw true beauty till tonight

She'll take him to the brink of deliverance
Show him that much
Oh, don't you know it
Oh, don't you know it
So he falls in love to feel that he's falling
She'll let him know his heart
Oh, don't you know it
Oh, don't you know it
That's Shakespeare in love

He's fought and he's fallen
He's on his knees before he's on his feet
A glittery romantic
Oh, he's about to be and she's about to see

His bounty's boundless like the sea
His love is endless, just as deep
The more he gives the more he has
`Cause both of them are truly infinite

She'll take him to the brink of deliverance
Show him that much
Oh, don't you know it
Oh, don't you know it
So he falls in love to feel that he's falling
She'll let him know his heart
Oh, don't you know it
Oh, don't you know it
That's Shakespeare in love

That's Shakespeare in love

A sinister romantic
He's on his knees before he's on his feet

She'll take him to the brink of deliverance
Show him that much
Oh, don't you know it
Oh, don't you know it
So he falls in love to feel that he's falling
She'll let him know his heart
Oh, don't you know it
Oh, don't you know it
That's Shakespeare in love

That's Shakespeare in love

- Shakespeare in love

This is what wackos like me and Erika do in tuition when everyone else is studying:

"Ligo..it tastes so good even pigs like it"

"Ligo..experience the taste that's out of this world brought to you especially by the alien pigs of outer space"
"Ligo..brings pigs from the universe together"

"Ribbit, ribbit..what about me?! I'm too short to reach the top..kaki sakit la. Tak boleh lompat. You help me can?"

End.

Lee Chong Wei in finals!! You better WIN man.. Jia You!!
