abstaining (unintentional of cause) from football
is OVER.
thank goodness.

-----------------------------------------------

the BABES outing was so ultra fun.
cher, me ,na and gen
good memories with them.
i miss those girls.

ate at fisherman's wharf at clarke quay
and then walked to nectarie,
for cher to have a little tiramisu
and all of us to chat chat chat.
and laugh laugh laugh
and get crazy crazy crazy.

PLUS, with cher and na present
a disturbing amount of camwhoring is bound to occur
thank goodness gen doesn't embrace that much like me!
but that night was so so fun!
we should have more outings soon!

pictures soon.

2008-06-25T21:14:00.000-07:00

finally going to watch FOOTBALL tonight!
or morning rather.
2.45AM!

finally!
yay me!

.

2008-06-25T13:44:00.000-07:00

woke up super early for running today
now i feeel abit woozy
HAHAHA.

2008-06-24T05:57:00.000-07:00

i shall post all my doings in one shot
cause i just cannot be bothered to come online everyday to post lahh.

jolyn's birthday celebration
affectionately known as my sister, ah chia.
HAHAHA.
it was a typical celebration involving her favourite food
- pasta, chicken and cake.

she's finally 17 but still doesn't act that.
she seems to be growing younger every year
but i still love her to bits.

----------------------------------------------

lunch and shopping with rosel
lunched at taka's basement area
some place called swiss german sausage place
food was good.

then we walked around town and then to vivo
walked until our legs ache eh

had to have coffee boast at starbucks
and we sat there for quite awhile to chat.
which is when we saw the 99 ways bra
it's seriously a superb invention.

we walked till our legs could take it no more
then went home.
shopping/walking with rosel is fun fun fun.
HAHAHA.

--------------------------------------------

sunday's cat class meeting was interesting
the the youths don't have to teach anymore
yay me!
no more late nights on lesson plans
HAHAHA.
best news i've heard since a long time ago

then was lunch and shopping with Ja
too bad cher couldn't come
but fortunately for her
cause we walked alot alot alot

we walked from clarke quay to funan
ate & shopped
then walked from funan to raffles city
shopped & coffee break
then walked from raffles city to plaza singapura
but the point was i was wearing
-wait for this-
heels the whole time!
OMG.

the last time i walked so far
was the maundy thursday walk eh
HAHAHA.
the things i do for shopping.

Ja and i bought some nice nice jeans
we always seem to find the greatest buys
HAHAHA.
had a uber uber great time
i love shopping with Ja!
(except for the hideous walking part)

--------------------------------------

cher and i finally watched
chronicles of narnia: price caspian today!

great plot/story
with super exciting fight scenes
funny, exciting and touching
i wonder why some people say it sucks.

AND of course it didn't hurt
that prince caspian looks so darn hot.
(=

omg.
cher apparently thinks "peter" looks better
so we are competing who's hotter
by frantically searching for pictures on flickr
HAHAHA
we are crazy crazy crazy people.

PS. for the record.
prince caspian is way hotter.

2008-06-19T05:09:00.000-07:00

tripped and almost fell today
tripped on flat ground
story of my life

------------------------------------

Pushing Daisies
it's a really really really sweet show

yupp.
"sweet" as in melt your heart "sweet"

i've only watched till episode 3
but it's already super nice.
thats why i searching for it online now!

it's such a must watch!

2008-06-16T17:50:00.000-07:00

Jolyn's birthday in 2 days
and i haven't yet bought a gift.
I'm such a lousy sister.

IDEAS/SUGGESTIONS FOR GIFTS:

1) hula&co tube dress
pros- looks gorgeous
cons- ~~quite expensive~~ got GSS, less expensive
- not worth the money for it

2) red handbag from tangs
pros- she has been wanting it since forever
cons- i hate it to bits, so not pretty. i'll never buy her something i hate.

3) beach slippers
pros- doesn't own one, needs one
cons- no clue about her feet size & she's fussy about her slippers (which is why she doesn't have one in the first place)

4) casual flats
pros- she only has one pair of flats and she wears them almost everyday.
cons- feet size

5) Jansport bag
pros- she has expressed that she wants to get one
cons- she just bought a bag recently

6) Levi's jeans
pros- she really really needs a new pair of jeans and she only wants levi's
cons- way out of my budget

shit.
good luck.

2008-06-15T19:21:00.000-07:00

mass today at nativity!
first time i stepped there since like 7months ago.
jolyn and i camwhored in 136

okay okay.
only me rather.

the priest was interesting
cause he looked like my uncle
HAHAHA

father's day was like any sunday
cause we spent it together anyway
eating, shopping.
(=

watching charlie and the chocolate factory now
so nice!

2008-06-12T21:44:00.000-07:00

one of my daddy's fishes committed suicide today.
he just jumped out off his tank!
by the time we noticed it,
he was looking pretty much dead

wow.
it must take great courage to jump out
of the tank of water like that
he must really hated it in there.

watched charlie &the chocolate factory
very amusing.

i might change to livejournal soon.
maybe have a change of environment
like what my daddy's fish wanted.

2008-06-11T05:10:00.000-07:00

sometimes
when i think that life is getting better and smoother,
something happens to make be take it back.

like when i really thought i might have a chance to get into archi
yahh. but i didn't.
they made me bring my hopes so high
then they just let me fall.
and it really really hurts.

but I've gotten over it.
cause life still has to go on.

on the bright side,
since i'm at pit bottom now
things can only get better!
(=

-------------------------------

been going to the nlb lately
the irony since alevels are over
HAHAHA.
for cher to study,
and me, to find a good book to read.
or something to occupy me.

the really good part is
the post-shopping at bugis street.
smiles.
total new shopping spot!

AND
i really miss watching soccer.
haven't watch a game for around 1 month
but it feels like a totally eternity.
plus its the euro 2008 now
signs.

considered resuming it for this month
but my mum says there's no point cause they show during midnights anyway.
and it's quite expensive.
signs.

i guess i'll just have to tide this through by watching channel5's news
where the clips they show aren't even moving clips.
just pictures.

---------------------------------------
sudden cravings for prata.

2008-05-25T20:35:00.000-07:00

i swear i'm pms-ing
so sorry,
i'm going to rant:

sometimes i cannot understand why people argue about the stupidest things.
like why the kids should purely sit on their chairs or
purely sit on the floors

i dunno what to say about today's meeting
some points i totally agree with,
some i honestly don't.

i don't wanna be involved in it at all
or stir up a new commotion.

i just wanna continue teaching the sec1s
help them journey
serving god and only him.

i seriously can't be bothered about the issue anymore.
so can we all just please drop it and move on.

2008-05-22T20:45:00.000-07:00

OHH.
man united won the champions league.

my sister's been sulking
i remain indifferent.

why?
cause LIVERPOOL should have won
thats why!

haven't blogged for the longest time
but shan't overload with all my activities,
so i'll just briefly run through them.
(=

1) meeting mrs tan & shaun for tea with joyce.
omg. baby shaun is ultra adorable.
and looks so like mrs tan!
HAHAHA.

2) heavenly tea session @ clarke quay
with cher, her mom, her aunt, and kenneth.
HAHAHAHA.

3) lunch with the sunday bunch @ sakae

we're all going.
i wanna see more babies!

i'm watching house now.
HAHAHA.
it's the show of the day!

lets start spamming!

2008-05-13T22:17:00.000-07:00

i'm so worried about tmr.
i seriously can't sleep.

they have made me so hopeful and optimistic
it so close now i can almost feel it
yet tmr could make or break it
i've climb so far that if i fall,
it'll really hurt.

signs
i've never wanted anything this badly before.

2008-05-11T21:27:00.000-07:00

ohh.
last day of the EPL.
but my utter stupidness cause me to
cancel my subscription before the season even ends
or even before the champions league finals

what the shit.

so i told my daddy to go downstairs later
to the coffee shop to watch the match
my daddy says the odds of them screening the liverpool match was zero
and since man united and chelsea were the main event,
they'll be screening their matches.

DARN IT.
all my fault.

2008-05-11T21:17:00.000-07:00

went for the archi interview on sat.

i walked past the archi school classrooms
and there was this special air around
very very intriguing.
with the nicest models of buildings and structures.
was telling myself one of these days my model would be up there.

wishful thinking on my part.
signs.

please please please.

good luck joann chia
u'll need it alot.

i don't wanna be too hopeful
or else i'll be even more disappointed in the end.

2008-05-01T23:41:00.000-07:00

pictures from the youth cat retreat.

HAHAHA.

a picture speak a thousand words.

so here's 5000.

me and cher. love this picture!

this is only 1 of the many thousands we took.

the twins, germaine, cher and me!

on the mattress- our sleeping place.

which is also where i teach sunday class.

HAHAHA.

i totally just stayed in the room for cat class.

don't even have to leave.

kenneth, cher and me.

NICE EFFECT RIGHT!

so cool. thanks to cher's idea

and kennth's cam.

corde, cher and me.

the threesome. HAHAHA

LIVERPOOL LOST TODAY.

BOO.

so depressing.

sign.

sentosa trip today for the youth cats

fun fun fun.

suntan suntan suntan

i'm like char siew now.

and my dad claims " u look healthier now"

so i look good as a char siew

wow.

and there's a shop at vivo's food republic

called "包今天"

omg so cute pls.

2008-04-21T22:15:00.000-07:00

the senior yc camp was fun!
i have to admit i had doubts about it initially,
but it turned out reallyreally meaningful.

the yc peeps are such a funny, loving bunch.
HAHAHA.
and luckily i had cheryl and corde for company too.
(=

we actually took lots lots of photos.
at night, before sleeping,
camwhoring in the dark is FUN!

will pose some when i get my hands on them.

2008-04-10T18:49:00.000-07:00

i hate days like today.
such a bad day.
.
i'm sick- flu, sore throat, headache, cough.
u name it i got it.
and i hate getting sick cause
.
1) the pain of my throat is freaking unbearable
2) didn't eat much cause of my pained throat
3) my body aches and i feel very weak
4)didn't sleep the entire night

but most importantly,
5) i have to chew the super bitter panadol pills (cause i don't swallow pills)
so i feel like puking every time i have to take pills.

SIGN.

my handphone charger is spoilt
i thought it would be fine, since after all,
i have a usb cable to charge.
But it's so flat it can't even be turned on for 1 min for it to connect to the com.
shit.

so now i officially uncontactable by hp.

DOUBLE SIGN.

on a happier note.
LIVERPOOL won arsenal.
YAY!

it's not that i'm neglecting KAKA
cause since ac milan was kicked out of the champions league,
i have not been able to see kaka at all.
plus, he doesn't even play in the EPL.

i miss seeing kaka.
=(

so i've semi-directed my attention/support to LIVERPOOL
since they're technically my favourite team.
cause although i like KAKA, i don't fancy ac milan.
but i've always loved liverpool as a team (=
plus, they appear so much more fequently.

if only KAKA joined LIVERPOOL.

2008-04-08T16:33:00.000-07:00

going to go for cj's concert at VCH later.
meeting corde first at cityhall.
cause i never go VCH before.
HAHAHA

i wonder whether they allow pictures to be taken.
i'm gonna try though.
HAHAHA

2008-04-07T20:21:00.000-07:00

two posts in a day.
thats amazing for my standards.

just had tuition with the thai girl (joyce's friend)
she very very nice and pretty.
Hahaha.
communication was surprisingly not bad considering that she only speak thai or chinese,
none of which is what i speak at all on.

hahahaha.
i think i spoke more chinese today than 6 months combined of my normal life.
i totally feel my standard of chinese improving totally.
hahahaha.

vincent chong must be so proud of me.
(=

2008-04-07T09:24:00.000-07:00

finally back online thanks to my new wireless mio system.

and it totally came with a new xbox!

hahaha.

busy busy week.

and more busy busy week to come.

gonna give tuitions this week le.

SO i'M FINALLY WORKING AGAIN.

2008-03-30T22:07:00.000-07:00

hahaha. i'm bored.
i'm being such a busybody now. (=

YESTERDAY
4H bbq was fun!
though in the dark dark night (with few lamps around),
couldn't see very clearly.
but it's nice to see all my sec 4 friends again!
hahahaha. i miss seeing these people lahh.
must meet up with them again soon.

though the ultra hilarious times were with cheryl, gen and na (the babes) as usual.
we always have so much fun ehh.
crazy crazy people we are.
HAHAHA
especially when we're trying to get gen to take a picture with us.
i'll get some pictures soon to put my point across.

more 4H meet-ups soon pls!
this time in the morning/afternoon can.
i wanna see you people clearly.

OHH.
BIG ANNOUNCEMENT:
JOANN CHIA WENT TO HER FIRST KBOX YESTERDAY.
(big shocker!)
i "who can't even write/speak/understand basic chinese"
went to a very chi-na place

but i didn't sing lahh.
i went there for fun.
for company and entertainment,
and if my alevels weren't over- to improve my chinese
HAHAHA.

yesterday, after kbox,
jacinta and i went to some taiwan guy's showcase at zouk.
(i honestly really dunno his name)
only cause to accompany Ja,
and so i totally disregarded my intense hate for all things chinese,
and went with her.

the weirdest part was when he came out,
everyone started screaming for him,
everyone except me.
i just stand there look stone.
HAHAHA.

nono. the worst part was that i got lost INSIDE of zouk.
~~embarassing like shit.~~
cause i had to leave inbetween the show
was trying to find the exit
to no success.
freaking loitering around the same area
until i went to ask some waitress.
who totally gave me this weird look before pointing me to the right direction.
OMG. so embarassing please.

TODAY
lunching with the cat class girls is always fun lahh.
we were like the only customers at siam kitchen.
laughing and talking like nobody's business.

NOW
going to watch football now.
prep myself for the liverpool vs everton game.
GO LIVERPOOL!
i'm sure bel will agree with me.
HAHAHA.

2008-03-28T21:19:00.000-07:00

my house is having some major construction now.

i mean my block, not my actually home. (=

they decided to re-paint the block, especially since the bid for a new lift system was unsuccessful due to the low response from the people. (including me)

but i totally agree that they were going to change the colour.

cause it was really a bad combination, and old-fashioned-ish.

i mean, what colour combination is this: orange, green and yellow.

then they started to repaint it yellow.

pale yellow.

dirty yellow.

ultra ugly.

i almost died thinking that the block would be that colour in the end.

but thank goodness, it was not the final colour,

they repainted it white in the end.

(i wonder why though)

so it looks not bad now right?

HAHAHA.

good job to the alijunied council for making it look good finally.

HAHAHA.

going to kbox with cheryl, jacinta, kenneth and corde tmr.

hahahaha. am so not gonna sing.

then 4H bbq.

smiles.

2008-03-25T10:22:00.000-07:00

EASTER SUNDAY is over!
the entire week was so hectic pls, having practically went to church every day. but it was fun and rewarding to see the kids having fun at the party lahh.

LIVERPOOL LOST TO MAN UTD
boo.=(
~~damn~~ ~~darn~~ stupid referee.

4H REUNION BBQ
seriously can't wait to see everyone again after 2/3 years. cause i've seriously lost in touch with everyone except the babes, those in cj and recently bel. fun fun fun.

i need to go shop!
retail theraphy!
i miss shopping.

2008-03-21T18:51:00.000-07:00

i only just woke up.
having crashed onto my bed since i came back from the 10am good friday service today, which was a 2 hours service.

then again, i wouldn't have been so tired if not for the fact that i only came home like at 7.15 AM this morning. And having only slept 1 hour before leaving for church again. And this is because of the Maundy thursday midnight walk. walking constantly from 9pm thursday to 7am friday is really really exhausting.

especially from IHM to St Anne's.
St Anne's to St. Vincent de Paul
St. Vincent de Paul to SFX
and SFX back to IHM.

which is the entire route. HAHAHA.
we took like 1 and a half hour on average walking from each church.

OMGOSH. i'm really amazed how i did not die halfway there in the first place. joann chia so does not walk this much. but thankfully for people like cheryl, corde, jacinta, calista and the YC ppl, at least have noise to keep my awake. HAHAHA.

but even though our feets were like ultra sore, and our minds blank, and our stomachs relatively hungry and our eyes about to close with exhaustion, fr luke made it all worth it when he said "it's good friday so i can't bless you all, but u'll have already blessed yourselves by going on this walk"

SMILES.

i actually am still very tired. darn.
but had to wake up for dinner and do tmr easter sunday games aka my big clown face. rehearsal is so gonna take the whole day pls. cause we are no where near done for the games preparation at all. gonna be darn tired again tmr. better sleep earlier tonight.

2008-03-20T13:53:00.000-07:00

i've done it.
finally submitted my application to NUS.

architecture, then industrial design, then arts&social sciences.
hopefully, i'll really get into architecture, or else i may really consider going back to poly, that is if poly would even accept me.

architecture freaking doesn't have a post graduate programme!
what the shit.
so stupid people like me will have no chance of getting into architecture even if i do another degree first.

that really complicates matters alot.

3 options if i don't get into architecture:
1) go back to poly for architecture diploma.
2) retake As to get much better grades to get into archi
3)forget about archi and just do another degree.

=(
please please please let me get into archi.

2008-03-19T12:12:00.000-07:00

i especially turned on my com to get a picture of a clown.
thats just sounds so totally weird.
HAHAHA.

and like i totally took such a long time to find a FRIENDLY-looking clown pls! apparently, clowns are supposed to be evil. which is why i took ages to find 1 picture of a reasonable looking one.

imagine what it'll be like if i actually drew an evil clown face for the KIDS carnival? they'll be petrified and tramatised for the rest of their lives, and yupp that'll be quite long considering they are only 5 -12 years old. hahaha.

it's holy week, and boy is it busy busy busy.
maundy thursday walk is gonna be so exhausting.
from 8 plus at night, walk to the early dawn of the morning. (wait for it) FROM CHURCH TO CHURCH in the district.
about 10km plus plus.

don't ask me if i've turned mad. cause i seriously don't know too.
but ohh wells. it's gonna be my sacrifice.
since i'm such a 'must sleep for at least 8 hours' person, i'm gonna sacrifice sleep.

okay okay. back to my clown.
need to make him more kid-friendly.

2008-03-14T21:39:00.000-07:00

today is the first day since weeks ago in which i was at home the whole day. hahaha.

alevels results came out. what can i say.

B (gp)

B (maths)
B (econs)

D (geog)
D (lit)

aint nothing to be proud out. but definately aint nothing to be ashamed of. cause i really worked my butt off for it.

disappointed. and of course i cried.

but no one can turn back time.

shall try to apply for architecture. but i shan't keep my hopes up too high.

on a brighter note.

meet bel for shopping cum movie outing yesterday. (=

eons since i met her. miss her much!

step up 2 is awesome! a total must-see.

and bel and i totally was debating who was the cute of the two guys in the show.

blake, brother of the lead (in the show) VS chase,the lead.

hahahas

bel loves the chase guy.

and i was trying to justify for blake.

HAHAHA.

rehearsals for easter sunday party tmr.

2008-03-03T21:42:00.000-08:00

everyone has probably heard by now that the alevel results are coming out on friday. this won't come as a shocker, since rumors of the 'real' date has been flying around since 3 weeks ago. but the fact that it is now confirmed means that it really is gonna happen, and soon.

sign.

Starhub told me, a few days ago, that they only had jobs that required 6 months of commitment, which means that if i intend to go to uni, i can't get the job. they asked me to reconsider first and then get back to them.

i've been thinking about it for the past few days.
and i've been very perplexed by it.

should i not go to uni this year?

i don't know what to do anymore.

2008-02-27T15:08:00.000-08:00

i finally achieved one of my life goals.
and that is to donate blood.
SMILES.

i have to admit, i'm dead afraid of the needles and the pain. But dunno why i went through with it. almost seems surreal.

and the nurses, doctors there were very professional pls! hahaha, especially when i was feeling slightly giddy. hahaha. but i'm fine fine now. even though my hand still feels abit funny today. HAHAHA.

GOAL: ~~donate blood~~
(=

2008-02-21T12:31:00.000-08:00

i am such a sinner.
which daughter forgets her father's birthday?
i'm so gonna burn in hell when i die.

Yesterday was my daddy's birthday. and i only realised it after i was woken up by a phonecall from cheryl at 12!
OMG. i almost went crazy.
especially when i was too gonna be so late when i was supposed to meet the rest at 1.

anyway, i left at 4, after joyce briefed them about the cip, to chiong back to heartland to get a birthday cake.Thank goodness, jolyn went to pick up my daddy's birthday present. Luckily we made it all in time. WHEW!

nice excellent dinner. super yummy!

the present was a wallet. very nice, compared to the ragged old woren out one he bought eons ago. (= the wrapping is excellent right! thanks to me!

i sorry to say there's no picture of the cake cause i kinda forgot to talk it amidst all the eating. HAHAHA.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
anyway, i've sent out my resume to Starhub, and i so didn't know writing a resume was so tough pls! hahaha. but ohhwells, lets wait and see whether i get the job bah.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
gonna do lots of cip this few weeks! so fun! there's paper making workshop which i'm helping at tomorrow! HAHAHA.

2008-02-19T22:11:00.000-08:00

too tired to even fill in the profile.
lazy lazy me.

too tired. today was crazy.
details tomorrow.
(=

2008-02-16T19:01:00.000-08:00

just received something very interesting.
thought it was highly blog worthy.

thanks you rosel for that interesting email, or picture rather.
hahaha. i laughed for the longest time. non-stop.
great picture.
HAHAHA.

would have posted the picture,
but the email said "for my eyes only"
hahahas.

~*~*~*~*~

He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star
He's the song in the car I keep singing,
don't know why I do

2008-02-14T23:28:00.000-08:00

happy valentine's day!

hahaha. sometimes i think it's way too commercialised. especially how the flower prices cost more and more these days. sheesh. i bet you, flower prices may rise as high as diamonds soon! HAHAHA.

speaking of which, i wished he was my valentine.

*sign*

what more else could u wish for?

*sign*

random:
plans for dinner tomorrow night, at HAN'S! heeehee.

2008-02-13T22:42:00.000-08:00

mind's bursting with info.

which odd to be a good thing, considering my mind's been decomposing since the alevels.
but at times like this, i'll say it has become more like a mess.

i think i pretty much know the history and lives of all the prophets and kings of the bible now. but i still have no clue to what way i am gonna conduct the lesson- since we have to be (i quote) "less activity-based" and "more faith teaching". sheesh.

ohhwells. i'll just try my best to make it fun and educating, and pray to god that by the end of the lesson, all the kids are still awake.

~*~*~*~*~
ran an errand for fabian today. one that required me to wake up earlier than i'm actually used to. Hahahaha. cheryl and i both totally agree that it's very pretty. AND we also agreed that we deserved a treat from him. (=

~*~*~*~*~
i love love love this song: britney's piece of me

i'm too tired to re-type my profile for my new blogskin.
lazy lazy me.

i found a nicer blogskin actually.
but the format was too far off left.
not very nice.

so this was the alternative.

2008-02-12T19:55:00.000-08:00

just came back from running with daddy and jolyn. so satisfying but drop dead exhausted please.

alright.
not completely running throughout, but i did run at least half the journey, and thats a start. hahaha. haven't ran so freaking much since like pe in cj. hahaha.

when to try out the exercise corners too! very fun! tried the plastic (old folks) one, which was kinda too unstable for my liking, even though it had more fun equipment. the normal one, which was definately more stable but had boring normal stuff, like the sit-up benches only. blah blah. HAHAHA.
so ultimately: unsuccessful

jolyn and i ended up playing on the swings and the three-seater rocking horse. didn't dare try the children slides for fear i might collapse the entire thing. (=

i'm going for shower now, then i can get to work on this sunday cat class lesson. printed 9 full pages of chimchim info, and have to compress it all into an hour's worth of educating info/activity that the sec 1 kids can comprehend. ~~shit.~~

good luck joann chia.

CNY has come and gone.
and quite a few hectic days i might add.

had T7 reunion lunch @Fish&Co !
though technically T7 is inappropriate, more of "most of the T7 girls and 2 guys" HAHAHA. it's always nice to lunch with the girls! full of gossip and laughter, and then when xianyao and fabian came, army talk started.

photos copyrighted from ms cher. thanks yah!

shaz, anne, rosel and me!

and omg! this is THE HOBBITS!
(though i have to say i've always been the tallest one. heehee.)

Reunion dinner
what can i say: annual social affair.

but cam-whoring is definately necessary. (=

CNY Day itself
went to IHM for CNY mass. mummy totally took advantage of my big bag and placed like 6 oranges in it! sheesh. i was practically selling oranges!

anyway, visiting is always fun.
especially the first stop:
my grandma's house!
cause she prepares the yummiest food to stuff us full for the rest of the day. (=

then more homes, and more homes.
means more income and more income! SMILES.

last stop of the day:
family dinner of relatives from mummy's side
no television means total boredom.
but dinner was good.
wine was unknowingly passed to us kids there, thanks to daddy!
sudden urge to start singing after though.

2nd day of CNY @ aunt's house.
today was family gathering from daddy's side!

daddy went at 9am to play majong. but mummy and i decided to only go over after lunch, while ms jolyn decided to go visit her friends aka deserting us.

i was thus left to watch cable by myself as everyone there was either playing majong or watching the others play majong. and everyone was above 30, and so conversation was minimal. So, disney channel's Chicken Little movie entertained me for most half of the afternoon.

after which this ultra cute doggie came!

packs a mean (and loud) bark, but she's a sweet thing!
very playful and pretty.
it's so interesting looking at her prancing around.

then there's baby keagan!
omg he's cute! and so small too, even though he's already 2 years old. he is definately the prettiest baby i've met in my life!

( pictures are with my sister, so i'll load them the next time.)
he has totally the most adorable big eyes!
i so wanted to kidnap him home.

RANDOM:
grammys was today!
and i totally woke up too late for it!
missed like 1 and a half hour of it! sheesh!

2008-01-22T07:21:00.000-08:00

it's 11.23pm and i'm still online.
i'm wondering about it myself.
and no, it's not becasue of football. (for the first time)

a problem has arised. an unnecessary problem.
why it has surfaced? i remain clueless.
but fact is: that problem persist.

small issues blown to big proportions.
which is why it's so darn irritating
cause it's totally UNNECESSARY.

sheesh.

other than that,
today was actually a good day! not exciting, but nice and peaceful.

but sometimes days become too quiet, especially frequently.
i miss cheryl alot! being in the same school/class means hanging out all the time. but now, life kinda becomes duller not being able to talk/gossip/rant with her as i want. which is why i miss school, cause at least in school, there never really was a dull moment with friends.

RE-EDITED//

OMG. my daddy just came out of his room and started watching tv. said he couldn't sleep. HAHAHA. now, i know where my ability to "watch tv till 1am" comes from. heehee.

2008-01-15T19:04:00.000-08:00

I'M HAPPY.
had a very very nice dream last night that made me wake up with a smile. heehee. so totally made my day. (=

the only reason why i'm blogging now is because my cable box is down, resorting to me playing the com for entertainment. But, just a min ago, Mr. cable guy arrived! thank goodness he came to fix my cable box. finally able to watch real good shows on tv now! HAHAHA.

2008-01-14T03:59:00.000-08:00

first of all, i have to say how SORRY sorry sorry i am for not blogging since 30th november, especially when i said i would. thats because 1) i was working almost every single day of december (except 4 days off), even on christmas itself. 2) beyond that.. well truthfully, i just haven't come online since then. okay, maybe like once or twice.

so i'm going to just blog it all in this entry. so be prepared, cause its gonna be a long long one.

1. TAKA'S GIFT WRAPPING JOB IS OVER!
it's over! and i really miss it alot alot. i wouldn't have believed i would feel that way if u had asked me before the job, but i actually miss it so much!

bad memories like:
- the extremely sore legs i get from freaking standing for 8 hours straight, every single day
- the tired and dirty hands, full of paper/penknife/dispenser cuts, which i hastily paste with plasters as the next customer is already standing in front of me.
-the rushing to the mrt station, esecially when shift ends at 11 plus, in fear that the mrt has closed and we would be stranded in orchard.
- the physical exhaustion of working shifts, especially night shifts which end at 11 plus which by the time i actually sleep is already near 2am and waking up at 7 for the morning shift.
- freaking irritating and the bitchiest of people who are ultra impatient and un-understanding for the smallest of things, such as not giving them that extra piece of wrapping paper especially when i had already gave them like more than they need.

great memories like:
- the many funny and friendliest of people i have made working there, from fellow gift wrappers to customers who are ultra nice (there was this nice woman who gave use royce chocolates to eat because we wrapped her stuff.)
- from wrapping the most irritating of stuff, such as the gift towels which look like cakes, which comes in the tens for wrapping (i think i have wrapped at least a hundred of these) to the weirdest of stuff like umbrellas and frying pans.
- exploring taka during lunch hour or just slacking in the staff canteen. omg! i miss the staff canteen food!
- the many fellow gift wrapper friends who made my job there such a blast, gossiping and laughing all the time, even at random stuff, such as formulating plans on how we could get the nice green kate spade paper bag without buying anything from there.
- our japanese manager, Mr.Yamamoto, or ''yaya'' as we affectionately call him. he ultra cute (note: not goodlooking cute, but funny cute) and looks like a thin teddy bear! we love laughing at his jap accent and funny antics. and he's damn rich! he bought all of us gifts, and very expensive ones. like i got a bobbi brown mini makeup set and lipstick.

i'm so gonna go back next year. can't wait.

2. CHRISTMAS CHEERS
had to work on christmas, but wells, double pay! so i'm not complaining. while last year was bag galore (meaning that my relatives had the trend of giving bags of all shapes and sizes), this year's trend is cosmetics/accessiories. AND I'M NOT COMPLAING ABOUT THEM. (= elizabeth arden and estee laurder have never looked so nice when they're in my hands. i hope this trend sticks for the next year.

3. AFTER NEW YEAR: SHOPPING AND SLACKING
with money$$ now, time to go shopping all around singapore and buying clothes and more clothes, at shops' post new year sales, and getting excited at all the stuff. so fun, finally able to walk around town with no worries. SMILE SMILE.

or else, i'm at home, watching cable tv or reading my long-dued harry potter books. I'M BORED! i realise how the longer i stay at home, the more tired i feel. the emptiness in my head causes me to do random stuff like taking pictures of myself wearing shades indoors while watching the 9pm chinese show.

TEEHEE. (= so retarded.

I NEED TO SHOP MORE SOON, before i start to grow moss on myself.

4. I MISS CJ, AND EVERYONE
no more cj, means dead boredom. i miss cj! the grounds, and knowing that i'll see people at every corner i turn, and laughing hysterically, gossiping, emo talking or just plain stoning. T7! omg. the class, the people, the teachers, the air. GOSH. i told cheryl how i envied her that she's still in school and she gave me the look. HAHAHA.
i wanna go back to cj to visit soon. anybody interested?

ohhwells. at least now, i still have some income to last be a long while. SMILE.
looking at the straits Times's RECRUIT pages everyday in search for jobs now. to prepare for febuary! after jan's recovery period. so that i have more funds to sustain my reignited shopping obsession/addiction.

wish me luck!
(and i really will try to blog soon)

2007-11-30T09:53:00.000-08:00

omg. it just occured to me that i won't be able to watch football frequently anymore. omg. OMG.

yucks lahh. NEVERMIND. $$$.

many many things/events have passed. and i can't believe i've still been so ultra busy even though alevels are over. HMMM. i think something is wrong. alright, here's whats been going on for the past 2 weeks:

1. Gift wrapping training at takashimaya (20-23 nov)
during alevels, my blue pen was my best friend. Now, after, the penknife is my new best friend. sheesh. 4 days of training (more like boot camp) at taka's gift wrapping department was way cool for the first 2 days- making new friends, learning the different types of gift wrapping and making ribbons. But the 3rd and 4th days were a tad bit boring- having made like thousands of ribbons and wrapped thousands of sample. hahaha. there was even a timing test for the japanese wrapping. i did it in 50 seconds! (= AND, i earned $192 for that 4 days!

2. Church camp for sec 1 (26-27nov)
which also happens to be CJ's prom, which means i couldn't attend it. )= I MISS ALL OF YOU ALL! it's alright. i'll still meet the people again. i heard from rosel that it was fun. hahaha. But how come the prom king and queen not from our arts side? hahahaha. PICTURES PEOPLE! i'm waiting for pictures!

OHH. but at like 3am on the 26th, i had ultra bad vomiting, like once even half hour? plus my tummy was killing me. i seriously felt like stabbing myself to stop the pain (only now i realise how ironically it would be adding pain rather than stopping it). endured until like 8am to go to the doctors at the next block, and even though it was a 3 mins walk i took like 15 mins to walk there. cause i was so fainty and in imense pain. the doctor gave me a jab. and even though i am totally afraid of injections/needles, i was like practically pleading to be jabbed, cause i really couldn't stand the pain. FOOD POISONING. thats what the doctor confirmed. sheesh.

and so i couldn't attend the camp on the 1st day, i practically slept the whole dasy away, without eating anything much (ie. 5 spoons of porridge, etc ). sorry guys! but i felt much better the next day and walked over. poor corde was sick too! anyway, the remaining time i spent there was really fun, at least the sec 1s area n enthusiastic batch! GOOD! only at the ending part, the clearing up part, was the most so sucky and irritating pls. ah! forget it. don't wanna talk about irritating stuff.

3. Starting work officially.
finally working today at taka! level 1 alright. gift counter. i hope the people whose presents i wrap are nice. i heard from my seniors that there are nasty ones. hahahas. but am working quite late- 1.15 to 10.15pm. for the next 3 days too. only after that i have a day off! hahhaha. so excited! (= MUST VISIT ME YAH!

OHH. and because i'm working night shift today, i can't attend the cat class bbq at andre's. SIGN. i miss my sec one-nies. hahaha. ENJOY YOURSELVES! eat loads and have fun!

okay. i haven't written such a long post in a long time. hahahhas. but considering night shifts in the next few days, the next you'll hear from me is probably monday i guess. hahaha. on the bright side, the next time you'll hear from me, i'll be $144 richer! (=

2007-11-19T21:50:00.000-08:00

SENTOSA OUTING today! with joyce, rosel, chris, joyce's brother! too bad cheryl couldn't come due to her work. but the 5 of us had fun!

the main aim of mine was to get a great tan! i even brought sun tan lotion, but there was no sun at all, just windy and cloudy skies. so Depressing! totally sabotage my plan. =( even worse still, it rained practically 3/4 of the time we were there. was rain was fun lahh, being drenched and all, but no sun!

so we played frisbee games, went swimming in the sea (rosel and i was only waddling in the shallow end), sat on the sand and acted EMO (i quote rosel), cam whored like no tomorrow, and built sandcastles/dams/ loads of weird stuff, and more cam whoring. No pictures yet though. cause they're with joyce. (will update asap)

I MET BEL TODAY. omg. sosososo long never see her already. now, she's studying in sentosa for her tourism/hosipitality course. LUCKY GIRL! sun, sand and beach everyday. i also want! (=

i miss her xia. i miss gen and na too (though they're still stuck with alevels. HAHAHA. oops!) luckily cheryl's free like me! can go shopping together!

i was on my way home from sentosa when i thought about how the management of takashimaya hasn't contacted me yet. and ideas of working in some office came to my mind. THEN, the manager called! so now, i'm officially a gift wrapper of takashimaya for the whole of december. busy busy. long hours and working on weekends, but i like to wrap presents lahh. THINK OF THE MONEY! heeheehee.

people, if u all go to taka to shop for presents, u'll probably see me! especially in december! hahaha. so cool! training starts tomorrow 9 to 6. i wonder what we'll be doing. hahhaha.

ohh wells. i'll go a step at a time i guess.

2007-11-15T19:19:00.000-08:00

ALEVELS ARE OFFICIALLY OVER!
for me.

(=
within the whole of singapore, the combination of geography, maths, economics and literature, has the earliest papers. which means that we mug really hard cause our papers are all clump in consecutive days, but it also means that we end the earliest. heeehee. let the celebrations begin!

after geog paper today, i was totally beaming and grinning to myself all the way home, and everyone was looking at me as if i were mad. heehee. i just couldn't help smiling, knowing that when i get home, i didn't need to head straight to my notes and mug, but towards the bed to have a good sleep.

i can go SHOPPING now. it's amazing how long i have not gone out to really shop. i can watch TV. and i can totally start watching my FOOTBALL again. (not that i had stop during the past months, i just watched less of it lahh.) and sleep early. and LOITERING around the house. hahahhas.

JO IS SMILING AGAIN.

2007-09-11T22:14:00.000-07:00

i'm finally writing again. after such a longg long break. thanks to dear prelims, which finally ended today! lets not talk about such depressing stuff.

ADO sent me the pictures of the surprise birthday party! there were many many pictures but i compressed th nice ones (though i wanted to put every single one of them).

here's everyone except ado cause she was taking the photo. we should have asked my mum to help us take the picture. hmmm.

here's a very nice picture of THE BABES. i love them!
(and as usual, gen is hiding behind.)

here's the next second, with flash. it actually looks better than the first picture huh. heehee. we all look good. at least i think so.

okayy. am sooo glad cause now i have a long ''holiday'' until tuesday. the uber depressing part is that i'm probably gonna spend most of it (if not, all of it) mugging my ass off. and even more uber depressing is the results i'm gonna get after i get back from the holiday, whilst collecting more super sucky results.

sign.

2007-08-11T07:41:00.000-07:00

it's amazing how even though singapore is so small, i can still get lost within this small area. than again, it's me we're talking about.

was supposed to go national library to study today. jolyn and i. we reached there, and realised that they were closed cause of some event. decieded that we should go to changi airport to study. was damn fun. and sorta quiet. cause like 90 % of the people there were above 70 years old. [*think major ageing population]

and on the way home, decided to be smart and dropped at paya lebar mrt station. instead of going all the way back to kovan. we boarded the bus, and sat happily until i realise the road signs said "to city". OMG.

seriously,we both are direction idiots. we can't even boarded the bus from the right side. HEEHEE. i totally need to buy sbs's bus guide.

i'm totally watching football now, even though i'm not supposed to. BUT EPL HAS STARTED FINALLY.

JO HEARTS STARHUB, cause they created a new channel totally dedicated to football.

JO HEARTS FOOTBALL. i just cannot resist football.

2007-08-08T01:59:00.000-07:00

hello hello hello! pls forgive me for not updating for ages. i know being busy is not an excuse, but truth is, it's been a really hectic month.

CJ had half-day today cause it's NATIONAL DAY EVE. and we had like a sort of celebration, in the spirit of community, to ADOPT A BIN. The whole school had to wear a green 'adopt a bin' shirt. And it felt really weird wearing a green shirt for national day celebration when everyone at the bus top is wearing a very normal colour combination of red and white. hahaha.

we did take pictures of us wearing the green shirts in class. i will post the photos, the moment i get them, or rather the next time i come online. (which i fear, might be a long time from now)

The skits for the celebration were hilarious. those done by the J2s of course. i was seriously laughing to tears almost throughout every moment. Plus, owing to the fact that mr tay was MC-ing, there wasn't a moment of peace and quietness at all. Damn interesting lahh.

okay. pardon the randomness:
I LOVE MY HAIR TODAY PLS!

i know some people will say that it looks really auntie. but it's nice what! At least i like it. i think i'll tie more of this to school. (=

alright. i just read through tons of ppl's blog and found this picture on joyce's blog. I LOOK LIKE A DAMN DOG pls! look at the pained expression on my face. thats cause i'm tied to the door, via the 'leash'. thanks ah, joyce.

i wanna watch this movie:

LICENCE TO WED. it's super funny pls! plus, i totally like these 3 actors- Robin william, mandy moore and john krasinski - hilarious, pretty and cute. nothing can beat that. that is why, i should start saving money now, so i can go watch my movie! when it comes out.

heehee. anybody wanna watch with me?

OHH. THANK GOODNESS EPL IS STARTING AGAIN.
I MISS WATCHING SOCCER!
(=

2007-07-17T22:37:00.000-07:00

heeeheee. went SHOPPING with cheryl today. i have lots of new things i wanna buy! and like a true women, the utter lack of monetary funds doesn't stop me from dreaming of owning these things. sigh.

1. METAL PENCIL BOX.
quite apprehensive about this. cause i am not a very 'take good care of my stuff' person. so yahh. i can hardly prevent myself from ropping my current pencilbox, (which is not even metal- it's cloth), how can i stop from dropping this METAl one. it will totally be super dented by the end of the week. BUT, it's super nice pls! especially the ones from borders. the fact that it only costs $6 is a total plus point.

2. LONG WALLET.
granted, my wallet is still quite new, and quite nice, i can't help looking longingly at the wallets from ripcurl and roxy. looks damn cute, but the price is such a total turnoff. heehee.

3. CONVERSE SHOES.
black ones with yellow stitches and purple shoelaces. darn gorgeous looking. very nice. but considering my shoes are not near worn out yet, possibility that i'll get it soon is actually quite slim.

4. MACBOOK.
this is an utterly divine object. and really really really long term goal. cause it cost like $3000. cheryl counted that if she had to save up for it from now until after her As, which is like end of 2008. she will have to save $45 a week! SHEESH. thats alot. that is why i told her, after As, i'm going to go work for APPLE. so that i can at least get employee discount, help lighten the load alittle. smart right! (=

doesn't it look so nice?
JOANN CHIA, U CAN DO IT.
start saving now.
u need loads of funds for all these things.

maybe in 10 years i'll finally be able to afford it.

2007-07-16T21:58:00.000-07:00

heeehee. i'm happy. cause tomorrow end school early. thanks to the J1s and their Chinese oral or listening or whatever. heeeheee. as long as i get to end at 1 tomorrow instead of 4! SMILES.

can go shopping for shoes and metal pencil box and long wallets with cheryl. waited for such a long long time. (=

went to joyce's house to mug today, after school. quite productive ehh! i did 1 WHOLE ECONS ESSAY. and did alittle integration. SO PRODUCTIVE RIGHT! even though it was only like 3 hours likedat. hahahas.

i think i'll go do my geography essays. or econs.

I MISS WATCHING SOCCER. i miss the adrenaline from watching the exciting movements and skills. and since wimbledon is over, there's absolutely nothing to watch at all.

waiting for the premier league to start again. QUICKLY!

2007-07-03T06:59:00.000-07:00

my 101st post on this blog! congratulations to me! hahahaha. school tomorrow and i'm so not excited about it. ahhhhhh. heck it lahh.

went to SENTOSA with my sister, na and cheryl! on youth day. to have sun tanning session!! surprisingly like have no people when we went there in the morning. it was like only after we left when the ppl started to pour in. hummph.

i didn't take the pictures. but i got some off from NA and CHERYL's blogs. heeehee. (=

sentosa! as viewed from the sentosa express(monorail) !

picture of the 4 of us!
NA, me, CHERYL, my sister!

the 4 legs and slippers of us. colourful huh!

NA and me. i look horrible. but NA just looks pretty in every picture.
hummph. hahahas.

we went to buy FUDGE BROWNIE MIX to try our hand at baking. and we went to my house to bake. nice nice nice.

cheryl and i trying to blend and stir the mix. hahahahas. in the end, the brownie turned out super fine! so yummy-licous!

had a great day out at sentosa. but we missed GEN! i miss her so much. so long never see her already. the babes must all go shopping soon. IT'S A MUST.

2007-06-29T22:45:00.000-07:00

i am bored. i am bored. i am bored.
i am bored. i am bored. i am bored.
i am bored. i am bored. i am bored.
i am bored. i am bored. i am bored.
i am bored. i am bored. i am bored.
i am bored. i am bored. i am bored.
i am bored. i am bored. i am bored.

have resorted to watching tv full time today.
hahahas. wow.
i never thought i would ever say that.

maybe i should go study?

2007-06-28T21:55:00.000-07:00

i'm baccckk! having gone MIA for at least 3 weeks. midyears were horrible. lets not talk abut it. hahaha.

i remember saying how i would never watch TRANSFORMERS. not even if the tickets were free. not even if people paid me too. well peeps, i've changed my mind.

well, it's not because of the plot. hell no! who likes to watch robots fly? if i do watch the transformers movie, it's because of Josh Duhamel.

hahahas.and that's one GREAT reason. heehee.
though i definately doubt it would be that great an impact that i'll actually pay to watch it. cause it honesty won't be worth it for me.

but hey! if the movie tickets are free. pass them on to me. (=

2007-06-09T04:48:00.000-07:00

picture worthy of an award. amazing sunrise view from my house yah? i think it's such a nice colour for the sky. orange! i think it's my new favourite colour. cause it's bright and perky and so orange-ish. heehee.

june holidays are such a BORE. waking at like 11-i'm not complaining about this part (= and then start studying. sheesh. i feel so ~~damn~~ pressurised to study cause everytime i don't follow my schedule, i feel darn ~~bloody~~ guilty about it. and my schedule is totally falling into pieces! i'm like 4 chapters behind on maths and econs. and lets not even talk about geog.

but, in case nobody realises this, studying is such a BORE. thats why i'm inches from pulling all of my hair off my head. cause i'm bored to bits, from studying and loitering around home or heartland's macs. i need a vacation! -to a nice place, maybe in europe. or a nice cold place, like alaska. wishful dreaming again.

okay. this is another picture worthy of an award. no prizes for guessing who it is. HEEHEE. and honesty, i think this is one of the best pictures of him EVER, even though all pictures of him are already super cute.

utterly gorgeous huh.

2007-06-04T21:02:00.000-07:00

HEEHEE. i'm back! after like weeks?! (= 1st week of june holidays are gone. and i felt like i haven't been doing much. i've tried mugging. econs-geog-maths-econs-geog-maths. super super stinky. and yet, i'm still behind my schedule/timetable!

let me just update about the past week.

ACRES PAINTING @ choa chu kang
the acres place is damn bloody far inside of cck. and it takes like almost 1 hour and a half to go from my home to cck bus interchange in the first place! and we have to walk in! very very far xia!

for 3 days, we painted like the whole place. From the 1st day, everyone came- to the last day, where it was only anne and me, and then hancai.
hahahas. and i think it took a toll on me, cause now i'm still suffering from sore throat. =(

but the place does grow on you. Cause on the 1st day, it felt like some garbage landside. and by the 3rd day, it felt like my territory, having painted the building/pictures. and even whitewashed the inner of the volunteer house!

RIVER FIELD TRIP @Venus Drive (thomson)
this is mr low's so called river. okay! i'll give him some credit- at least it's not a longkang. and at least it was fun going into the stream to measure the depth and width. it was a cooling and cute stream!

plus the water's clear. which is a total plus point. granted it's not uber clean, but imagine the algae water pollution in china and then u'll appreciate this nice little stream. hahahas.

then milli,steffi,ethel,anne rosel and i went to thomson plaza for lunch. hahahas. i was fun pls! (=

2007-05-19T22:28:00.000-07:00

HELLO WORLD! it's a nice saturaday night. and i've finally finish reading GREAT EXPECTATIONS. okayy. not in detail, cause i sorta skipped the boring looking parts, and also skipped the ending (alittle only), but OTHERWISE, i'm done with it! heeheehee. congrats to me.

anyway, cheryl finally bought a frisbee. hahhahas. from MOTION SPORTS in paragon. where i found out that they sold soccer shirts there too. and of course i found this:

AC MILAN JERSEY! and it costs a whooping $109. hahahhas. i seriously have to start saving $$.

CJ's Sports Carnival was on friday. hahhahas. and mr yee thought that i loved maths so much i put JOANN ! (factorial) on my shirt. even though it's clearly, JOANN ! (exclaimation mark). thanks mr yee. though i got to admit, it makes me kinda seem smarter. hahahhas.

after sports carnival, the lit students (which includes me) went back to cj to attend extra lit lesson! so xian pls. but it was nice! cause mr pang is a very good lit teacher, and hence, his lit lessons are always nice! PLUS, he bought ice cream as a treat for us for coming even though it was sports carnival day! SO NICE PLS! it was so nice sitting and chatting with mr pang and the rest and eating ice cream at the same time!

now, my daddy and mummy are both watching the FA cup finals (chelsea vs man utd). and commenting and shouting alot. hahhahas. very funny to see them shouting xia! heehee.

2007-05-15T10:26:00.000-07:00

heehee. in CJ's library now. and it's break time! cause our dear joyce had to do her nyaa report, and since i really have nothing better to do, i'm blogging about school today. which has like only start, say 2 hours ago! hahaha.

it's a cold cold day. and it's raining. really heavily. thankfully, it only started to pour after joyce and i finished running our morning run. i love running before the sun rises. it's so cooling and nice pls!

i'm like freezing here. cause the air-con is way cold and it's raining outside. i think my hands going numb now. hahahas. but I LOVE THE RAIN! much more than sunny days.

2007-05-12T22:31:00.000-07:00

today was ISC distribution day @ hougang. the official last day of ISC CIP. hahahas. it was to distribute the hampers to families in hougang. which, if u know me, should know that it's exactly where i live (sort of, kovan=hougang). but i still had to go to school first to collect the hampers. hahahas. but at least the journey home was tres fast!

cheryl and i are designing "THE BABES &CO" badges. i did 3 only, and stopped. cause not fun one! hahhahas. cheryl's just doing and doing like a production line. i think she has done a dozen already. Here's 3 of mine!

cat class tomorrow. and for the first time in weeks, cheryl and i don't have to prepare the class lessons/materials. YES! heehee. our topics are done! (for the moment) and so i can gladly strolled into class tomorrow to facilitate only! i miss my SEC 1-nies ! hahahahs. i prefer facilitating than teaching. it's just more fun!

2007-05-11T21:47:00.000-07:00

thank goodness it's friday. i love love love fridays. this week has been extremely tiring and exhausting. i haven't gone home early for this week yet. the earliest time i've been home this week is 5 plus. WOW. contrast this to months ago when i reached home at 1 pm. sheessh xia!

wednesday was SOCCERNOMICS @ VJC. went there with cheryl, shaz, milli, rosel, chris and other ppl to support ADO, JOYCE an JENNIFER! too bad we got 2nd place. even though i felt CJ was clearly (by a mile) the best pls! RJ won. and guess who was the guest speaker? the soccer pundit from ESPN! who (coincidentally) teaches economics at RJ.

met NA there! and of course we had to take pictures for memories! hahaha (= the "victoria" is super bright and stunning can! and the 3 of us look damn cute can! it's such a nice picture! the only problem is that we're missing the last BABE-GEN!

heehee. something random. totally totally random. u know near IHM church, there's the old SJC building that has been converted to a carpark for the church and something thats called ACMI. even though i totally have no idea what it is.

i've been tempted to do this even since i saw the ACMI words

it spells ACMILAN! hahaha! so cool pls! random random random.

2007-05-04T23:31:00.000-07:00

hello world. it's friday night and it's 11.20PM. and i'm not asleep yet. SUPER WOW PLS! hahahas. just finished doing the cat class powerpoint about the rosary and apparations of mary. i think it's not bad. (=

talking to cheryl now about KUWAIT. i guess only she knows what i mean (don't you cheryl!?) money money money. hahahahs. ohh. anyway, she had a brilliant idea to make a blog for Na, Gen, Me and her, called "the babes!". So cool can! Then we can upload all the pictures of the outings we go for. plus, gen will finally have a blog.

anyway, today in school, joyce and rosel told me to find new pictures of KAKA to put on my handphone's wallpaper. hahahas. and so. (= shan't spam my blogg with too many pictures of KAKA. but this one is going to be this month's (or week's) walpaper.

(sign of satisfaction)
goodnights.

2007-05-02T22:15:00.000-07:00

okay. the only reason i'm online now is to buy time before the liverpool vs chelsea match (encore telecast) starts. in about approximately 15 minutes. so yupp, told my mom that i was typing out my ENSOC stuff, (which i am doing!) so that i can come online. heehee.

of course i'm not going to wait to watch the AC MILAN vs Man Utd match, it starts at 2AM! sheesh. i have no such passion. though i'm passionate enough to switch on the tv at the very first moment i wake up (before i even wash up) to check the score. (=

hopefully, AC MILAN will win the semi-finals. please please please. ohh. and let KAKA score again. (= that's be really really nice.

okay okay, better stop and start looking like i'm actually doing something productive.

2007-04-27T23:14:00.000-07:00

i'm really sorry i haven't been consistent in blogging daily or even forthnightly but i'm just either uber tired or lazy to switch on the computer.

manchester united won AC MILAN 3:2 !
super super shit please! but a least KAKA was the one who shot both milan goals. smiles* hopefully milan will win on the return match at home. hahaha. GO KAKA!

the gorgeous babes went out yesterday!
to celebrate gorgeous bel's 18th birthday. it's a big big thing to turn 18, it means you're an adult. So, BEL! u're old now. hahaha! went to the ever posh paragon to eat DIN TAI FUNG. those who have never heard of it, fret not, cause i didn't know it even existed until like yesterday. their xiao long baos were nice!

we were creating a scene there please!
cause, firstly, we were the youngest people to dine there. and then we kept laughing and talking sorta loudly. we're girls u know! plus the surrounding customers were kinda amused by us in general. and when there at least 5 girls, there's bound to be loads of camwhoring.

5 girls camwhoring in DIN TAI FUNG sure makes quite a scene, with surrounding people looking curiously at us, plus the china man waiter offering to help take our pictures for us. and he was like really wantingt o help us take can, even though we were like "er, nevermind."

anyway, here's the birthday girl, with me!
JO LOVES BEL!

the nice nice nice brownie cake we bought, decorated with mini M&Ms and 1 candle. so creative of us right!
YUMMY!

loads of camwhoring within the restaurant. and this is only the very tip of the ice berg k. sheesh. don't we all look cute?
JO hearts BEL, CHERYL, GEN and NA!

more shopping soon babes. missing u all loads.

2007-04-20T22:36:00.000-07:00

heeheehee.
i just realise how i only blog once a week.
so bloody sad please!

anyway, this week was fun fun fun!
cause cheryl and i met up with GEN and NA!
on tuesday and thursday,
to study together and shop.
i miss them!
brings back so much nice memories
about the old times.

1. the frantic and super fast-paced shopping sprees.
which i think only cheryl and i will know.
cause Na and Gen are the shoppers. and we suffer. (=

2. countless visits to GEN fav fast-food restaurant,
LONG JOHN SILVER
or LONG-ing as we 'affectionately' call it.

3. mad and hilarious bus rides home on 136
especially during the olevel period when there was a craze,
of TAKO balls. and cheryl and na would chiong to buy,
and i followed them, lagging behind,
but gen and laura would chiong out to the bus stop,
but yet, we always manage to catch the bus together.
hahhaha. talk about fate.

sign sign sign.
we should go out and study more often.
and look super weird, cause one from VJ,
one ffrom NY, and 2 from CJ.
hahahas.
weird combi, but GREAT combi!

love love love.
waiting for thursday babes!

isc tomorrow. means loads of walking.
damn.

you think that just because i'm slow,
i don't know what you're doing.
acting like you're such a big deal,
when u're just such a liar.
pls! get a life!
cause u sure don't seem like u have one.

2007-04-13T06:35:00.001-07:00

blah blah blah.
i'm back online! finally.
not that anythings wrong with my com.
i'm just too lazy.
heehee.

okay.firstly,
AC MILAN won Bayern Munich
(= (= (=
hahahahahah!
i knew they'll go through.
i just knew it!

does KAKA look hot? as usual?
heeheehee.
loaded them into my handphone.

okayy!
anyway, it's the weekend!
thank goodness.
my whole right side of the body is aching
very badly.
thanks to 2.4 run, which i failed by 6 seconds.
and badminton, my favourite playing sport.

so yahh.
this week was as busy as the previous.
lessons lessons lessons.
homework homework homework.
study study study.
so ~~shitty~~ please!

ohhhh!
i got B for projectwork.
heehee.
so perfect! cause i don't think i deserve an A
nor a C. hahaha.

PTM tomorrow.
please don't let mr yee see me.

2007-04-06T22:55:00.000-07:00

boo!
good friday today.
woke up super early please.
for mass which was like 2 over hours.

haven't had a decent meal all day.
oreo cornflakes with milk + 1 slice of bread
+ 1 packet of hello panda + porridge for dinner
= super super hungry me!
hahahaha.

ohhwells.
i shouldn't complain,
considering it's only for 1 day a year.
i guess thats call sacrifice.

2007-04-03T21:16:00.000-07:00

been very irregular in blogging.
cause i haven't had the time to do so.
thanks to school, homework and studying
sucking the life out of me.

hahahaha.
talking on msn with bel now.
i miss her!
i haven't met evan and her for like a year can.
at least i met gen and na le.
but i still miss all of them!!
*sign*

went to taka with cheryl today
she needed to buy a birthday present.
and among those posh stores/ boutiques
like LV, Chanel and Tag Heur.
lies a shop that was quite misplaced.
but posh at the same time.

"THE BETTER TOY STORE- for better toys"
i love love love that shop please!
we were so amused by all the toys and accessories there.
very very nice! and cute.
we so didn't want to leave the place.
hahahhas.
i sound like they paid me to advertise for them.
heeheeheex.

should go now.
GP is waiting to suck the life out of me.

2007-03-30T08:18:00.001-07:00

i'm finally back.
after weeks of absence from the internet world.
thanks to this com which went haywire on me.
at least it's fine now.

attended the ACRES talk on thursday.
was super saddening.
i wanna buy their shirt!
but it's 15 dollars.
hmm.
but i think it'll be well spent.

i just finished the design for the envelope.

nice? hahhahas.
i hope everyone gives generously!
"even when they're suffering, they look so cute"
please help ACRES.

Sometimes i ask God,
why baby infants die before they are even born?
or why the people in africa are starving?
and why no one is helping them?
why people continuing polluting the earth?
why do people abuse animals?
or why women are not given equal status as men?
why do horrible things happen?

i guess we'll never know.
but i'll always believe,
that all things happen for a reason.

i just hope i see the reason soon.

2007-03-12T06:50:00.001-07:00

wow.
just finished clearing my com's hard drive
so that it'll move faster.
sheesh. so lag can.
i spent the whole dinner time (while i was eating),
downloading the econs video thing.
and watched it for like 2 mins,
before i closed it, out of utter boredom.
it's damn damn boring can.

now, i'm attempting to research on the
GP individual work thingy.
i decided on researching G8.
cause i think it sounds quite interesting.
so yah. haahahhaha!

today was a super super productive day.
woke up at 9. (yes, 9!)
to pack the huge stacks of paper laying around my bed.
also known as the post-promos cum post-CT stack.
heeheeheehee.
after which attempting to do the geog tutorial essay.
then cheryl called and so met her at heartland to study.
we sat at Macdonalds for 3 hours studying.
so productive right! (=

lunch was quite havoc.
we went to buy macs to eat, and walked back to sit down,
then this guy at the opposite table called us,
and ask us something, and i was like quite confused.
and so i stop. and apparently banged cheryl.
and her whole tray, with food, dropped on the ground!
we had a whole moment of "uhh. how ah?"
then i felt so guilty can.
cause i was the one who banged her.
but then when she went to report to the counter,
the people gave her another set, for free!
MACS ROCK!

GP tuition with cheryl is always super funny.
laughing at our total deficit of general knowledge.
we discussed about mental illness in teens/young adults.

did you know:
every 1 in 4 teen/young adult in developed countries
is estimated to have mental illness.
like anorexia, depression, psychosis etc.

and one symptom was the lack of oganisation and planning.
and cheryl's godpa joked about how both of us
may have mental illness!
cause of our utter lack of organisation.
hahahahahas!

i think i should get back to my G8 research now.
burh bye!

don't worry about the world coming to an end,
it's already tomorrow in australia.

2007-03-10T22:14:00.000-08:00

ain't it weird how saturdays are meant for rest.
or rather sleeping till late in the afternoon.
today, i woke up even earlier than i normally do
on weekdays. at 5.30AM.
cause there was the Economics Seminar at NTU
which is all the way at the other end of hougang,
at boon lay/jurong!

yupp yupp.
this saturday is one of the most productive
i have even been for a long time,
except maybe the sat before CT.
hahahahas.
econs from 9 to 3 is totally no joke.
though i must say, it was kinda interesting.
in a complex, economic-ish way.

and it was really intimidating.
cause the lecturers were like profs in NTU.
who were super super economists.
like some of them actually did some cost analysis thingy
on the IRs and baby bonus and stuff.
and like all of them have wrote at least one book on econs.
ultra ultra wow.

at the beginning, everyone, meaning all who attended
was really attentive and serious.
like copying notes frantically.
and clinging to every word of the prof.
then like after tea, which was before lunch,
i think everyone felt sleepy.
like how i was feeling, having ate my fill
and sitting in an air-con room, all comfy and stuff.
hahahas.
yupp! it was significantly more noisy,
and less people were paying attention.
heeheeheehee.
so it went on until like 3.
where the students just left. if they wanted to.
sheesh. so rude can.
just walk out in the middle of the lecture.
tsk tsk tsk.

in general, it was good ah.
cause i sorta learnt more econs stuff.
and i was in the company of joyce, rosel, ado, grace
and the other few CJ people that came.
hahahahas.
we were a totally minority!

i'm so not going to study econs until maybe friday.
hahahahas.
i think i have enough of it for the moment.

2007-03-08T05:49:00.001-08:00

hello hello.

when to watch MAN OF THE YEAR today
robin williams is so so so funny!
hahahaha!
for full review, please check out joyce's blog.
but i tell you it's really nice.
in a humourous, political-ish, touching way.
making us laugh our asses off.

ON ANOTHER NOTE:
saw espn news just now.
and found out that AC milan has beaten Celtic
hence making it through to the last 8,
of the UEFA champions league!
yay yay yay!

both teams played a solid 90 mins without goals
then had to go into extra time
in which KAKA scored the winning goal!
(or rather the only goal)

kaka is brilliant!
smile smile smile.

2007-03-04T18:44:00.000-08:00

okayy.
at the school library now.
having break.

partially cause i didn't bring my tie today,
so am avoiding walking around opening lest i get caught
by mr michael tan.
and i don't want to spend 8 bucks to buy another tie.
i mean what kind of tie cost 8 bucks?
i bet the real value is only 1 dollar the most!
then again, the punishment ain't that bad.
just have to wear the tie for the entire week.
which isn't that bad if you ask me.
and then partially cause joyce wanted to blog.
so yah, here i am.

actually i don't know what the use of this break.
school's ending at 12,
thanks to the darling ex J2s' excellent A'level result.
which is a plus point for today
but the expectations for us J2s becomes even more alarming
~~and disturbing.~~
hahahahas.

i remember when i was still at sjc,
when the o'level results were super brilliant,
we got a whole day off.
that was when i was sec 1/2 ?
then the next year, we got a half day off,
thanks to the partially brilliant results.
hhahashas.
then again,
i wonder whether sjc gave a day off to the rest of the school
for a reward for my batch of o'level results.
hahas.
i'll be quite pathetic if they didn't.
heehee.

CJ cheated us.
considering that the results were supposed to be super, ultra good.
i say we should have 2 days off.
hahahahas!!
.

Yesterday's Cat class.
calista didn't come yesterday!
left cheryl and i to run the show,
with some help from sebastian.
we were shouting and screaming at the sec 1s to keep quiet.
so much that we were hoarse after class.
luckily the lesson was a game thingy.
and not text-book, or else we'll be totally voiceless.
i tell you, trying to shout louder then the mumblings of
50 young, ~~active~~ hyperactive sec 1s is absolutely no joke.

2 of us + 50 sec 1s = headache + sore throat.

hahahas.
stations of the cross next week,
and thanks to cheryl sabotaging me,
i'm doing again!
.
ahhh.
shan't blog anymore.

next lesson is econs.
and then off home i go!
(=

2007-03-01T06:12:00.000-08:00

"Wonderful World"
I've been down so low
People look at me and they know
They can tell something is wrong
Like I don't belong

Staring through a window
Standing outside, they're just too happy to care tonight
I want to be like them
But I'll mess it up again

I tripped on my way in
And got kicked outside, everybody saw...

And I know that it's a wonderful world
But I can't feel it right now
Well I thought that I was doing well
But I just want to cry now
Well I know that it's a wonderful world
From the sky down to the sea
But I can only see it when you're here, here with me

Sometimes I feel so full of love
It just comes spilling out
It's uncomfortable to see
I give it away so easily
But if I had someone I would do anything
I'd never, never, ever let you feel alone
I won't I won't leave you, on your own

But who am I to dream?
Dreams are for fools, they let you down...

And I know that it's a wonderful world
But I can't feel it right now
Well I thought that I was doing well
But I just want to cry now
Well I know that it's a wonderful world
From the sky down to the sea
But I can only see it when you're here, here with me

And I wish that I could make it better
I'd give anything for you to call me, or maybe just a little letter
Oh, we could start again

And I know that it's a wonderful world
But I can't feel it right now
Well I thought that I was doing well
But I just want to cry now
Well I know that it's a wonderful world
From the sky down to the sea
But I can only see it when you're here, here with me

2007-03-01T05:44:00.000-08:00

hello world.
been a long long time.

just finished typing the minutes for ENSOC.
and now, am doing the lesson plan/game
for this sunday's cat class.

i'm actually quite pissed about the whole cat class thing
cause there's only cheryl, me and calista running the system.
3 of us versus 40 sec 1s.
the auntie judy aint much help.
and sebastian tries to, but he has to like juggle around.
then when we ask for more help,
they say we have to join the saturday training so as
to make more friends to influence them to join us.
aarhhhhh!
~~bloody hell!~~
there's a total surplus in the sec 3 classes.
and yet none of them want to come help the sec 1s.
and obviously no one is doing anything about it.
and we can't either.
hhummphhhh!

i shall stop ranting.
and talk about CT.
actually i pretty much screwed up my CT.
gone gone gone.
i don't want to talk about it anymore.
hahahas.
shall go back to doing cat class stuff.

2007-02-22T19:22:00.000-08:00

of ash wednesday and cravings.

i don't know why.
any day i want to eat stuff.
i don't feel like eating.
the one day that require fast and abstinence from meat.
i get cravings to eat all kinds of food.
like carrot cake. or chicken porridge.
sheesh.
hahahahas.

i guess it aint really a sacrifice
if you don't really care if you get to eat it.

ohh. and AC milan drawed 0-0 with Celtic !
i hope they win in the second leg.

2007-02-19T20:34:00.000-08:00

greetings!

i am currently at my relative's house typing this.
was practising maths (ten year series)
but decided to take a 15 minutes break.
heehee.

the com screen is super big and clear can.
and somehow, the font looks better too.
wow. wow.
so so so nice.
i want also!

anyway, an update on CNY holiday/celebration.
yesterday, went to church for mass.
after which we went to SFX to visit my grandma and grandpa.
and then we made our way to my mom's mom place.
it's our tradition.
to go there first thing on that day.
and eat yummy yummy fried carrot cake,
and sweet cake (nian gao) and many many other food.
heeehee.
had like a great great breakfast.
too bad i only get to eat them around once a year.
so i told my mom to learn to make.
hahahas.

last night was a popiah feast at my mom's relative side.
cause they only served popiah and bbq.
but obviously everyone was crowding around the bbq right.
so only popiah for me.
=(
but then, my cousins taught me to play bridge.
and i sort of got it. i think.
hahahahas.
but i'll probably forget how to play by next year.

today, i spent the whole day in this house.
my dad's relative side.
to study. for like 30 minutes.
before surrendering to temptation.
the temptation came in the form of an XBOX console,
with like 10 over games beside it.
YES. so sad, how technology is totally controlling us.
weak weak weak me.

thing to note though.
i notice how when it's CNY,
people still greet each other in english.
like not "xing nian kuai le"
but "happy new year"
it's it ironic?

but now, i should get back to ~~studying~~ practising maths.
poor poor me.

2007-02-16T22:44:00.000-08:00

the curse of CNY.

i think i'm jinxed.
i don't know why, every year,
during this period.
before, during and after chinese new year,
i get sort of sick.
either fever, cough, flu-like symptoms.
this year, i've got a splitting headache.
wow. my body is getting more creative ehh.

oh wells.

i'm watching SUPERNATURAL now.

and it's ~~damn~~ freaking scary can.

but the actors are cute,

and the story/plot is very good.

which is pretty much why i'm watching it.

despite my headache.

plus the fact that, well, i'm not very sleepy

considering i slept in the afternoon already.

heehee.

let's just hope this year,

the headache's the only thing i'll get.

2007-02-15T22:27:00.000-08:00

booyah!

i didn't get to donate blood today!
cause they couldn't find my blood vessel.
my lousy lousy hands
i am so weak.
hummph.
ohh wells.
at least i sort of tried.

ohhhh.
a very funny thing happen just now.
jolyn and i were supposed to go downstairs to wait
for my aunt and uncle to collect CNY stuff.
and we were debating who should carry it up
(yes, i know. we're super lazy)
on our way down the stairs.

me: you carry okay!
jolyn: you carry! you older ehh. you know what is "孔荣让利"?
me: so?
jolyn: so i 让 you carry what. you are 利 what.
me: ...

[for those who don't understand: there was this story, more like a moral story thingy. it's a long story, but i'll just cut it short. there was this little boy 孔荣 who sacrificed his big pear (利) and gave it to his older brother.]

which then i said, after the 5 seconds of utter shock,
"the older brother is not 利. 利 is the pear."

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
we laughed all the rest of the way down can.
the neighbours must have thought we were mad.
but it was super super funny.
sheeeesh.
and i thought my chinese was lousy.
hahahas.

so now, as a joke, i call her 孔荣
and call myself 利.

Stones taught me to fly
Love taught me to lie
Life taught me to die
So it's not hard to fall
When you float like a cannonball

2007-02-11T10:38:00.001-08:00

just saw the CT timetable.
~~shit~~ lah.
i feel so darn slack can.
i seriously hope i pass my CT.
pls pls pls.

today's cat class was really funny.
on account on how my sec 1s were trying
to convince me that the construction sign
was actually a "gold digger".

it was hilarious can.
sec 1s are super innocent and cute can.
but clowns and jokers i tell you.
the guys i mean.
the girls are nice. and normal.
hahas.

and!
i finally mustered the courage to wear dangling earrings!
yay! so so so happy!
finally after like 1 year?
heehee.

anyway, went to buy new clothes today.
quite successful.
quite lahh.

ohhhh.
something random.
i made a gold rose out of the wrapper from
the ferrero rocher choc.
like from the advertisement!
so cool right.

looks like the advert one right!
heehee. so cool can.

2007-02-08T23:37:00.000-08:00

should i donate blood this year?

i think it'll be super meaningful.
considering that i have too much blood already.
so..

i want to..

but i'm afraid i'll be painful.

and i'm really scared of pain.

should i? should i? should i?

2007-02-07T23:35:00.000-08:00

so tired.
i've finally finished my portion for the cat class wb.
and it's what? 11.30pm.
good morning half an hour in advanced.

anyway,
CJC annual X-country was today.
4.2km ~~run~~ walk at macritche.
heehee.
it was kinda fun.
not the walking part.
the announcements/prize giving part.

then went to joyce house to do econs WWP.
hahaahahas.
stayed until like going to 9 plus.
then cab back with cheryl and fabian.
and because we had only $7.70 altogther.
(both of them had dropped already)
i had to tell the uncle to stop at a random bus-stop
cause the fare was already $7.70!
ahahhas.

he wanted to give me a free ride.
but i said no.
cause it would be quite bad for him,
he's making a living too.
and it was actually still quite far
around 5/6 bus-stops more?

and so i got out at $7.80
and he said he'll absorb the 10 cents
so nice of him!
and waited for the bus to go home.
hahhas.
it was kinda funny.

anyway, i'm super super tired now.
and i hven't done lit essay
and tie the string for the chinese lantern yet.

darn darn darn.

2007-02-06T22:10:00.000-08:00

heehee.
i'm doing my workbook for cat class now.
managed to chiong maths revision in like 20 minutes.
hahahas.
so smart right.
so gonna fail CA lor.

ohhhhhhh.
have to blog about what happened today at religion class.
the guy who sits beside me for religion actually told me
that we were from the same kindergarden!
St Francis Xiavier Seminary.
and it turns out that we were in the same cat class too.
i was like " OMG. really?!"
hahas.
and he was going on and on about how i looked the same.
and how i had a very good friend who had small eyes.
which i totally didn't know.

the worse part is that i totally had no idea who he was
(before this conversation)
or remember anything about him with regards to kindergarden!
or cat class for that matter.

i am such a lousy classmate/schoolmate/ human being.
hahahas.

i must remember to ask him more about kindergarden
since, due to my super STM, i have totally no recollection of it.
and i mean at all.
except probably, how ugly the uniform looked.

i think i should go dig up some kindergarden photos
to look for his face.
and my ex-good friend who had small eyes.
heehee.

2007-02-05T21:31:00.000-08:00

heehee.
my throat is kinda hoarse.
cause i shouted and screamed so much
during yesterday's games day.
and then laughed so so much today.

my throat has been so itchy throughout the whole day.
and sorta inflamed.
i going to lose my voice soon i tell you.
i should go take some honey+water to soothe my throat.

oops!
have othello essay to do.
better choing now!
jia you to me!

ohh. and for joyce:
the final score was Thailand 1- Singapore 1.
but we won on aggregate by Singapore 3- Thailand 2 (:

2007-02-04T21:56:00.000-08:00

YES!!!
double YES!!!
super ultra YES!!!!!

Singapore won the asean cup!

thankyou thankyou thankyou.

2007-02-04T21:18:00.000-08:00

i cannot believe this!
half time Thailand 1- Singapore 0
~~double shit.~~
we should be 2 goals up by now,
if not for the stupid referee!
ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!
hummph!!

Kaegan's 1st birthday celebration
i found out yesterday that kegan is actually called kaegan !
as in not kegan kang, kegan.
but KAEGAN.
(thought he's as handsome as kegan kang)
wow. so dumb of me.
i wrote his name wrongly on his Xmas present.
so mah lu.

the bday cake.
which was super creamy.
but the chocolate cake section was superb!

IHM sec 1 games day 2007
today's games day was fun!
though not many turned up.
out of 80, only 40 plus?
hahas.

it was kinda different from last year's one thought.
cause all the games were held inside the hall.
so no water games.
games were kinda little.
majority of the time was spent playing captain's ball.

and for lunch there was canadian pizza!
hahas. very fulling.
my group, which consist of 6 people
had 2 boxes all to ourselves!

the after lunch games were much better
especially the popping balloon game.
it was h-i-l-a-r-i-o-u-s.

honestly.
each sec 1 had to run 5 times round their facil
and then blow up their balloons.
and then pop them by sitting on them.
was so so so funny!
cause they were like bouncing on the balloon
trying to pop them.
heehee.

oh. cheryl and i were cam-whoring.
no surprise here.
heehee.

please please please let singapore win.
~~darn~~ referee.

2007-02-03T11:20:00.000-08:00

i can't believe i forgot about blogging this!
watched the first episode of

it's really really really cool.
and exciting.
it's now playing on starworld at 8pm on Thursdays.

love love love it.

2007-02-03T10:50:00.000-08:00

saturday morning feels so good.
cause it's the weekend!

but then, the thought of the pile of homework
sitting beside my bed
is kinda killing the mood.
and thats why i should blog quickly and go do
economics CSQ.

cause i might not have time to finish
considering the fact that i'm going to
my sister's godbrother's brother's birthday later.
kegan's 1 year old!
heehee.

yupp.
we bought him 3 baby boy t-shirts
yesterday- so last minute

and which are so ultra adorable!

~~and kinda expensive.~~

then we walked through kovan's plant/flower shop area
the area's super big can.
but very colourful, because they stocked up
with pretty flowers for chinese new year !

heehee.
and we tried to take some pictures
sort of successful.

then there's the ihm cat class sec 1 games day tomorrow
which is going to take up the whole of sunday.
which means no time for homework again.
hahas.
i'll make sure i take some pictures of
my sec 1 babies!
they're so cute. and young.
make me look so old.
okayyy.

2007-01-29T21:59:00.000-08:00

monday's over.

wheeeee!

nothing to say.
just that i feel sorta bored.
and cold.
cause of the huge gushes of wind.
blowing everywhere.
and is especially strong and evident in school.
it's dangerous i tell you.
people might be blown away.

and isn't it kinda weird.
singapore never had such super strong winds before.
honesty, something's wrong.
i swear it's going to snow next.

okay!
bored to bits.
so i shall go do my geography tutorial.

heehee.

2007-01-28T23:27:00.000-08:00

blahhhhhhhhh!

it's monday tomorrow.

~~shit.~~

2007-01-25T22:46:00.000-08:00

okayy.
i just realise how scary i was yesterday.
when i was PMS-ing.

cause my sister told me how angry/pissed i looked
the whole of yesterday night.
and that i didn't talk to her until this morning.
and i totally didn't realised it until she told me!
wow.
i think i'm scary.
a scary scary person.

when i'm PMS-ing that is.
hormones are scary scary things.
hahas.

anyway.
KAKA did cheer me up.
see!

hahahahas.
aint he the cutest.

and i think i'm going to fail econs tomorrow.
wait.
i know i'm going to fail.
~~darn.~~

2007-01-24T09:41:00.000-08:00

just did finish typing out the othello essay outline.
and feeling super tired.
not physically, but mentally.

i opened my hotmail.
and saw
andre and sebastian's "sec 1 games day"
and ms lee's "NTU econs seminar"

and i just felt so tired.
i don't know why
i just feel so tired.
and drained.
and depressed.

with studying for more tests
(like econs test this friday)
and revising all the past year's works
(i don't even want to elaborate)
and sunday cathetism activities
(like the 80 workbooks which cheryl and i are trying to rush
and is due like this sunday
but we have not even finish doing yet
what more send it for printing.
and the upcoming games day)
and then there's environmental campaigns and cip
and then there's also the ISC t-shirt design.
(due this week)
and to add on to it, A's are 8 months away.

i swear, i'm going to explode soon.
really.
i'm just feel so so so tired.
even KAKA can't make me happy.

forget it.
i'm just PMS-ing.
just forget it.

2007-01-20T19:43:00.000-08:00

new year.
new blogskin.
i saw this skin and fell in love with it.

spent like the whole afternoon working on it.
when i was supposed to study geography.
but then i just spent yesterday mugging econs.
so i thought i deserved today's small relax time.
heeehee.

anyway, i can't believe weekends are only 2 days.
and saturday's already almost gone.
~~sheesh.~~
and soon it'll be monday again.
which means more stress again.
ohh wells.
i guess that's life.

mummy asked me to search for chinese restaurants
via the internet to see which one's available
for CNY's reunion dinner.
all this surfing has made me hungry.
and guess what.
i haven't eaten yet!
poor me :D

okayy.
back to checking restaurants out.
(sounds wrong)
burh bye.

2007-01-13T22:31:00.000-08:00

booo!
today was supposed to be
all out mugging.
but then, daddy wanted to fish.
which is pretty much a waste of time.
but, also alot of fun.

okayy.
went to punggol beach/grassland
where the scenary is super beautiful.
i mean it's rare to see
such gorgeous greenery.

obviously jolyn and i didn't try fishing
hahas. so not me.
so we cam-whored alot.
seriously.
hahas.

but other then that,
we used our phones to play some music.
and started singing like loudly.
cause i mean there was no one around.
so we "zao xia", also nevermind.
heehee.

then, i tried to carry jolyn
which was "kinda" successful.
hahas.
yahh. my arms aint that strong.
but i was able to lift her up
for like 10 seconds
ahahahas

hahahahas.
we are so so weird.

signing off,

2007-01-11T20:59:00.000-08:00

ha!
aint supposed to be online.
but yahh.
i couldn't resist.
heehee.

anyway, i'll be
short and sweet.
today was long.
and rainy.

mass pe wasn't that bad.
i mean it was productive
but not wayy tough
like mr liew's
hahas.

then, i stayed back today
to wait for cheryl.
but then miscommunication..
and yahh.
but then had to stay back anyway
for promoting environmental
or rather ado did it
she ~~damn~~ good lahh.
hahas.
and then decided to
stayed for the nyaa talk.
and then went back to the library
to study with joyce
for like 30 mins. heehee.
and yahh.
i did something malu.
again.
but of all embarrassing stuff i have done.
this has to be one of the worst.
~~sheesh.~~
for more detailed explanation
read JOYCE's blog.
yupp.

the first post since school started.
hahahas.
yupp!
i'm officially J2. a senior.
wow

got to say i miss cheryl a lot.
(and this is totally an understatement)
it's not that i don't see her anymore
cause i see her every morning.
and almost every other time
but i miss her being in class with all of us.
sign.

and Thank Goodness It's Friday.
i swear, these 3 days felt like 3 years.
like i'm unaccustomed to sleeping late.
and now, it seems like i'm going to do it
for the rest of the year!
~~sheesh~~
homework. studying.
and teaching my sister
is pure hardwork.

i'm so going to go to sleep after this post.
and wake up at 12PM tomorrow.
heehee.

CCA BAZAAR.
okayy.
i shall post some stuff about the cca bazaar today.
after an exhausting day of school.
(on account of the fact that it was PE day today)
there was this bazaar.
so i had to skip my lunch to help prepare
for environmental's booth
which was chucked at some corner again.
~~sheeessssh~~.
anyway, luckily some of the guys
finally decided to turn up
and so we had some help.
ohhhhhhhh.
and our leaf shape flyers were quite cute.
and environmentally friendly.
so all in all,
it was kinda successful.

okayyy.
i really need to sleep now.

I don't need a man to make it happen
I get off being free
I don't need a man to make me feel good
I get off doing my thing
I don't need a ring around my finger
To make me feel complete

2007-01-02T21:47:00.000-08:00

helloo! 2007
~~goodbye 2006 !~~

i meant to blog yesterday.
but yes.i forgot again.
heehee.

nevermind.
all that matters is that i actually am doing it now.
approximately 9 hours to school starting.
and am not looking forward to it.
cause it means i have to start studying again.
and chiong-ing for exams and tests.
*sign*

then again.
i should be positive! about it.
hahahs.

okayy okayy.
i shall get on to
my new year resolutions
(which are like 2 days late)

(1) i will be more understanding and patient
yes. no more throwing tempers.
and getting pissed off for small matters.

(2) i ~~will~~ must study hard for A's
that means much less television
goodbye oprah. goodbye grey's anatomy.
yahh right. seriously.
who am i kidding?
this is one i will not adhere to.
tv i mean, not studying.
that means more reading and studying.
everyday and night.
and doing all my homework.

(3) i will try to pay attention in class
no more doddles. maybe.
awwww. maybe once in awhile.

(4) i shall not be so blurr/ SLOW
hahahs. try to understand all jokes quickly.
and think faster. and not be dense.

(5) i will try to lose weight.
and also maintain the weight i lost.
means more morning runs.
at least 3 times a week.
but then again, losing weight is not the problem.
maintaining it is.
so i shall try to constantly exercise.
hopefully, i will succeed in this

(6) i shall seriously try to save money for the future.
don't spurge on unneccessary stuff.
like food. or colour pens.
though an occassional meal at pastamania
is perfectly acceptable
teehee.

(7) i will try to strengthen my relationship with god.
means i have to be 100% attentive in mass
and try to ~~pray at night~~
finish praying before i accidentally fall asleep.

(8) i will go out more often.
hahahas. more shopping.
so i will know other places
besides hougang and seng kang.
no spending though.
pure window shopping.

(9) i will blogg more frequently
and i don't mean like once 3 months.
at least once a week.
hopefully, this is one i can achieve.

missing 2006 already.

MERRY CHRISTMAS !

.............X
..........hoho
........hohoho
......hohohoho
....hohohohoho
..hohohohohoho
hohohohohohoho
.........hoho
.........hoho
.
heello everyone.
monday afternoon.
or rather going to evening.
spent like 30 mins doing the tree above.
yupp!
nice?

a tribute to christmas.
i shall call it,
"the christmas tree i never had"
hahas.
which is so ~~darn~~ true.
cause i haven't had a christmas tree for like 3 years
at least a formal one.
except last year,
when my dad decided to like chop a tree
from punggol beach.
yahh. kinda successful.
if not for the fact that it died/dried up
before christmas actually came.
hahas.

and now i'm blogging
cause i finally finished
wrapping the presents.
clearing up the house
(make it look relatively decent)
helping prepare the loads of food
cleared up the mess of plates.
hahas.
so this is my break.
for awhile lahh.
before i do something else.

i shall update about the 'party'
~~later~~
maybe tomorrow
depending on how fast i clear up.
hahas.

this is so not done by me.
but then, i wish it was.
cause like it's super nice!

santa baby
hurry down the chimney tonight.

2006-12-17T23:13:00.000-08:00

these are the stories of our life that's fiction

and all that they may seem.

today could be the worst day of.

today could be the last day of your life.
