quite a sucky day at school for me today..had physics lecture test and a gp compre assignment done back to back. almost died during the compre test cuz my brain was becoming a little fuzzy..

then had to do make up prac on my own during break cuz i missed last tue's lesson. abit weird doing it on my own lar but the teacher there was quite nice..cuz i kinda forgot what i had to write in my report and he kindly explained everything to me without getting irritated. am so glad its over..it was loads better than i thought. dunno why i am stressed over this thing lar. i get stressed at the weirdest things =\ i dunno why i feel so irritated with myself today..for no reason at all.

anw my mom's friend got me new cds from shanghai..haha they're loads cheaper over there. listening to wang lee hom's cd now and i think he sounds really great and is very talented in alot of things. always liked listening to his songs..just tt this is his first cd tt i actually bought :) listening to his songs cheer me up.

dont feel like doing work today..heh no work due tml anw. shall go off to play the sims now. started playing it recently again now. but mine is the pokk first version..shall buy sims 3 if it ever comes out. lol. arranging furniture around the house helps to remove the angst in me :)

unlucky day

2007-04-27T19:13:00.000+08:00

been quite a long week..didnt really have the time to update. nothing noteworthy this week though..

missed tues of sch cuz i was kinda sick..and now i have to make up prac aft sch soon. sheesh..was almost made to do it today but had to collect my passport so couldnt stay back for it. felt so malu-ed in front of the whole class because of this. shall not elaborate on it here. anyway went for lunch with classmates aft sch today at j8. had fun jacking junxin and her other half :P lol every action and word they said was simply used against them. even mo's mom who joined us aftwards didnt spare them either..teehee

headed to lavender to collect my passport aft tt and aft taking the queue number i realized there were like 250 plus people in front of me *faints* didnt know it will be that crowded..so i began my long and arduous wait for my passport collection. gosh was bored to death lar..and i was feeling kinda sleepy but couldnt sleep in the chair cuz its kind of awkward with everyone squashed around you. finally got my passport two hours plus later -.- dragged myself home only to be caught in the rain. and it wasnt just an ordinary drizzle..it was a huge downpour. was trying to dash across the roads to the shelter at first but aft a while i gave up and started walking instead cuz i was alr drenched anw. this has to be my most unlucky day in weeks :\

okay realized this entry is rather dry..filled with my ordinary day log. shall go off for dinner now..update again soon

syf

2007-04-20T21:02:00.000+08:00

it's friday again. one week flew past. and guitar syf was over in a blink of an eye.

we got a gold. don't know whether i should feel happy about it or not :\ was expecting us to get a gold before we went on stage..actually i was quite worried about whether we will get a silver if we screw our songs up. but our performance went quite well..it was one of our better performances yet. and aft we were finished..people started thinking tt we would actually get a shot at gold with honours. i think that deep down inside everyone's heart we were secretly hoping we could get it. tt's why when the results were announced..most of us got pretty disappointed. oh well. but i am glad tt we actually put up a good performance..tt's a small consolation for us i guess.

anyway..we sat in to listen to the other schools aft we finished playing. and all of us thought tt hcjc and vjc played very well..but they only managed to get a gold too. felt quite surprised at the results cuz i was so sure that hc would get a gwh. ahhh but i am not an expert at this so maybe the judges had a different opinion frm us.

although syf didnt go as well as expected but we still have the concert to look forward to. hope tt we can work towards putting up a great show for everyone else to see what rjge is about :)

jittery

2007-04-18T22:04:00.000+08:00

syf is tml! just finished packing all my guitar stuff into my bag and writing notes for everyone. did some last min practicing too. somehow it just doesnt feel like its THE syf performance tml..think i will only start freaking out moments before we actually go on stage. that's what will usually happen to me. i never quite overcame my stage fright even though i went through so many outdoor performances before in band :\

am still quite worried for spain but ahh just hope we will put up our best performance tml! wish me good luck :) shall end off with a nice quote..

~when words fail, music speaks
-Hans Christian Anderson~

-.-

2007-04-17T20:48:00.000+08:00

feel so tired today even though its not really a long day at school..been feeling this way for the past week or so. hate this feeling of being so groggy all the time. shall go sleep early tonight. even though its barely past nine now :\ need my seven hrs of sleep in order to survive tml. last guitar prac before the syf..hope we can really brush up on our playing and perform well on tt day itself :)

anw still feel quite sad tt i missed ben & jerry's cones day :( although i remembered tt it was today but i was too lazy to head down to one of the outlets to get my free ice cream aft h3 math. blah. i was actually looking forward to it.

this aside..my mom just told me ytd tt my grandma may need to be hospitalized if she doesnt get better. she is just down with the flu but it has been a while and she doesnt seem to get better. so if this doesnt improve they will have to send her to the hospital to check her up. just hope she will get well soon..

okay shall head off to bed right now. heh although there is loads of stuff for me to do but i am hecking it for tonight :)

weekend

2007-04-15T17:36:00.000+08:00

did almost nothing the whole weekend..not much hw due next week and i didnt feel like doing any other work either :P

anw had guitar full dress rehearsal ytd. still think that we arent really prepared for syf yet..spain is still rather messy. mr gasper made us switch off the lt lights and play in the dark so tt we can focus more on hearing each other out. i failed terribly though cuz i couldnt even see where my fingering was :\ had an exchange with ri and chung cheng high aft tt. took turns to play our syf songs..and i seriously think tt ri played the best ytd. their whole ensemble sounded good together and their songs were rather nice to listen to as well.

headed to raffles city to do some shopping aft tt. went to buy my black pants for syf..and ended up getting a new belt and shirt for myself :) haha some retail therapy at work here. wanted to try the donuts at the donut factory but the queue was horribly long. there were at least twenty people in the queue i think..and it wasnt really moving at all so i just gave up and went to buy something else instead.

spent the whole sunday today sleeping and lazing around the hse. have no idea why i was so tired either. just hope for syf and everything to be over soon so tt i can return to my not-so-hectic lifestyle. four more days to the end of syf! :) shall go off to practice a little on my guitar now..

o.0

2007-04-11T20:18:00.000+08:00

this week have been really hectic..these three days just passed by in a blink. been busy with guitar pracs and the sch work tt is piling up. trying hard to catch up with lectures nowadays. guitar syf is next week and i still cant really get the rhythmn right for one of our syf songs spain. lol its like sometimes i actually play it right but sometimes i dont. ahh so frustrating. think the whole song is really quite nice..with a jazzy feel to it :)

anyway i think spain sounds cooler on the sax. go watch this recording of spain! --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=huIcAdTbMbM watching the video makes me want to go back to playing the saxophone again..kinda miss playing it now :\ have to quickly find my syf outfit tml. full dress rehearsal is on sat but i havent got anything ready yet. argh. feel so stressed abt the whole thing. just hope tt all our efforts pay off on that day.

dont feel like touching any of my work tonight..shall go trawl youtube for more nice videos :)

2007-04-04T23:19:00.000+08:00

had a good break today..just needed to take some time off to recharge at home. finally got down to watching high school musical. my mom bought the vcd cuz my brother asked her to..hmm the female lead is pretty and can sing quite well. she reminds me of someone i know. heh :P just finished doing my essay outline which took me two hours plus..really dont feel like writin an essay during gp tml. globalization is like one of the hardest topics to write in my opinion :\ ah so many thoughts are running through my mind now..cant really decide what to write here. shall just pack up and go to bed now. toodles.

tired

2007-04-03T22:11:00.000+08:00

taking a break from work now for a breather..struggling to finish my h3 tutorial on plane geometry. its only the first set of notes and i alr find the tutorial hard to do :\ spent like two hours doing four qns lar. boo.

got back most papers except physics and econs..did okay for those tt i got back lar. though i expected to do better for chem cuz i mugged the hardest for it..but math was better than expected. so everything balances out i guess :) shall comment again aft i get back my physics paper..i just hope i dont do too badly. lol.

been coming back home late every day..starting to feel tired of my whole schedule alr. bleaurgh. barely have time to do any other stuff except sch related ones. yikes okay..nth much to talk about today. feeling quite zoned out now..shall go back to finishing my h3 hw. jiayou to me!

wahahaha

2007-03-29T21:42:00.000+08:00

i officially survived h3 math test today! haha though i didnt even bother to touch the notes at all..except in the one hr before the test cuz junx nagged at me to read her notes..but i guess i will be getting above a 2/30! :) am just hoping for an improvement from my last test..i just crapped up alot of stuff during the test tt didnt even include graph theory :P

looking forward to the weekend..always feeling so tired this week for no reason. maybe its cuz i am still not used to waking up early in the morning for sch..have been waking up late for the past two weeks due to the hols and cts..okay shall go off to do some work before hitting the sacks :)

gah

2007-03-27T20:36:00.000+08:00

school today felt quite horrible for me..was feeling drained out for the whole of today even though i slept quite early last night :\ was trying to pay attention and not fall asleep during almost all the lessons except for physics lecture. wasted my time at h3 math also..gah really need to buck up :( i dont understand why some pple can survive with so little sleep while i need my 7-8 hrs worth of sleep before i can function properly. sleeping is really a waste of time.

my back still feels abit weird today aft the unglam fall i had during pe on monday. gosh. really felt so embarrassed cuz i didnt just trip..i fell straight down till my butt hit the floor -.- my mom was laughing loudly at me when i told her what happened lar. grr. supposed to be using this time to start studying for h3 math now but here i am blogging..i guess writing about random stuff down here kinda helps me to relax and vent all my pent up feelings.

okay enough rambling..shall drag myself to go start studying for h3 math. no idea how i can finish studying 7 sets of notes in merely 2 nights o.0

Home - by Michael Buble

Another summer day has come and gone away
I’m in Paris and Rome, but I wanna go home
‘May be surrounded by a million people
I still feel alone, just wanna go home
Oh, I miss you, you know

And I’ve been keeping all the letters that I wrote to you
Each one a line or two, “’I’m fine baby how are you?”
Well, I would send them but I know that it’s just not enough
My words are cold and flat and you deserve more than that

Another airplane, another side place I’m lucky I know
but I wanna go home, I gotta go home
Let me go home
I’m just too far from where you are
I wanna come home

And I feel just like I’m living someone else’s life
It’s like I just stepped outside when everything was going right
And I know just why you could not come along with me
This was not your dream, but you always believed in me

Another winter day has come and gone away
It neither Paris or Rome and I wanna go home
Let me go home
And I’m surrounded by a million people
I still feel alone and let me go home
Oh, I miss you, you know
Let me go home
I‘ve had my run
Baby I’m done
I gotta go home
Let me go home
It’ll all be alright
I’ll be home tonight
I’m coming back home

one of my favourite songs tt i keep listening to :)

weekend

2007-03-25T22:36:00.000+08:00

been spending the weekend relaxing aft cts..feel quite guilty cuz i totally didnt touch any work at all. even though there is my h3 test next week..which i hope i will pass.

spent ytd night watching the saturday night movie on channel 5. it's some cia show called 'the recruit'. wasnt too keen on watching it at first cuz i thought it was some show with violence and all but the plot is actually quite good! lol though i kinda figured out how things will work out but the twist at the ending is good :)

basically this guy, james, played by collin farell applied to be a cia agent and underwent training. he later falls in love with this other female trainee, layla, but got kicked out in the middle of the training cuz he failed one of his tests. yep but his instructor came looking for him aft tt and persuaded him to be a undercover agent for the cia. and he was supposed to spy on layla whom the instructor claims is a double agent who is stealing a computer virus program for another country.

under the impression tt layla is a traitor, james went to spy on her and managed to snatch the program tt she stole frm her..only to hear her claim tt she is a real cia agent and not a double agent. he didnt believe her and sent the program to the instructor..and found out tt he is actually THE double agent. lol..james tried to escape but was eventually caught by his instructor. he cleverly made the instructor believed tt all the convo between them have been heard by the cia and ran out of the warehse he was in..only to be surrounded by the police. the instructor then came out and made a whole hooha about everything before he realized tt they were actually trying to nab james instead of him. hah and because of his confession the instructor got caught instead :P lol the last part was damn funny lar..when the instructor realized tt he gave himself in for nothing.

school is starting tml..somehow i am dreading the hectic schedule tt is going to be in place again. sigh.

yay!

2007-03-23T21:40:00.000+08:00

today is officially the last day of cts! hah..the physics paper was okay to me i guess. was worried tt i might not even be able to pass physics at first cuz i only crammed everything inside my head last night..with the help of coffee. hah only slept for abt three hours..but luckily i managed to stay awake for the whole paper :)

went with my class to carl's jnr aft tt..had the sourdough burger. super yummy..although i think its the unhealthiest burger sold there cuz the sourdough bread is fried. could feel the oil oozing out frm the bread when i bit into it. decided to catch stomp the yard aft tt..the whole show was pretty okay i guess. enjoyed it quite abit..although i found the beginning a little draggy. caught the trailer for freedom writers before the movie started..and it looks really good! must go watch it when it is out...

yepyep relieved that the whole week of cts is finally over..thought i wouldnt be able to survive it but i did! hah but there are loads more stuff coming up though..like guitar concert, syf, more cip and what-nots. going to enjoy my weekend before things get hectic again :)

first day of cts

2007-03-19T18:48:00.000+08:00

had econs cts today..the essay was quite okay. kinda spotted the question tt would come out but my case study was rather screwed. heh was telling junx tt i was hoping tt externalities would come out cuz i have absolutely no idea what they are alr. but for the very first question of the case study..there it was..asking us to define it -.- just struggled my way through the case study..crapped so much stuff up tt i thought i was doing a gp paper :P

slacking at home now although i am supposed to be chionging through org chem and physics. seriously hope i wont do too badly for physics. all tt i have studied so far is electromagnetism. doesnt sound too comforting. just hope tt i will get through this round of cts without any major hiccup.

on a happy note..my mom just booked a hol trip to taiwan for our whole family during the june hols. haha although there is the june cts aft tt but i am still going for the trip anyway! cant bear the thought of staying at home alone to study while everyone else is enjoying themselves in taiwan :P so i guess it will be a much needed break for me!

going off for dinner now..getting a headache for no reason. hopefully it will subside soon..i need all the time i can get now to finish studying

boo

2007-03-15T21:52:00.000+08:00

havent managed to make the time to blog even though its the march hols..heh been studying for cts this week..or to put it more precisely i was trying to study for cts. whether my mugging is really effective or not is another matter altogether. somehow i just dont have the urgency i felt for promos last yr..this prep session for cts somehow feels slacker as compared to the intensive mugging done for the year-end exams last year. keep on procrastinating and putting things off these few days..not to mention taking a short break every few mins aft flipping throug a few pgs of the notes :\ just hope tt i dont flop too badly this time round

anyway went to the esplanade for lunch with my mom and bro yesterday..first time i ate at the esplanade. my mom wanted to bring us to a chinese restaurant but we decided on eating at ichiban boshi instead in the end. the whole ambience is quite nice..could see a lil of the view of the river frm where i was sitting. would usually just order ala carte from the sushi menu but my mom and bro tried the bento sets this time round and its seriously yummy! :) the portions are generous too..heh was planning on trying the momo peach ice-cream but didnt have the stomach space for it aft eating up all the food on the table. must go back to try the dessert one day aft cts :) :)

my aunt was talking to me recently about the courses that i might wanna do in university and i seriously had no idea on what i want to do in the future. was contemplating on doing financial engineering cuz that was what she recommended to me..apparently the pay is quite good but the job itself seems rather stressful. she was telling me that her friend who worked in this sector retired at forty plus. hah so its either you lead a very stressful work life and retire early or lead a less stressful work life and retire late. both doesnt sound very inviting :\

okay shall get back to mugging physics now..toodles!

signing lesson

2007-03-08T23:43:00.000+08:00

just managed to finish up my work that is due tml..came back only at ten plus. went for the last signing lesson just now with junxin. but was feeling rather stoned throughout the whole lesson cuz i was damn tired. nothing i learnt really stuck in my head. was fighting the urge to fall asleep during the two hour session. thankfully i pulled it through without actually sleeping at all..heh quite hard to fall asleep too lar considering that you have to use ur hands to practise ur signs :P

suddenly feel all the stress weighing down on me right now. so many unfinished stuff that i want to and need to do. not having enough time to fit everything in my schedule. i really need to learn how to prioritize. always tend to do what i feel like doing everytime even though there are more urgent stuff tt needs to be done. then i will end up feeling stressed cuz i cant complete the stuff tt needs to be done. :\

last day of school tml..looking forward to an early day. seriously need to catch up on my sleep. feeling so sleep deprived this whole week. been staying up late to do stuff almost every night. my eyes are barely open right now..shall go off to bed :)

relieved!

2007-03-07T23:00:00.000+08:00

have been busy busy busy for the past week. not surprising with all the stuff that had been going on. the past three days have been somewhat crazy..with one different test each day. just finished editing my lesson plans for the deaf tuition curriculum. was going brain-dead towards the end and could barely think of anything creative for the kids to do :\ having my last signing lesson tml night..heh actually i cant really rmb what i have learnt for the past two lessons and i think i will really forget everything once the lessons are over. junxin is much better at it though..always have to depend on her to remind me what the sign for each word is :P

had gp common test today. heh am quite screwed lar cuz i didnt exactly have time to finish up the compre..and wanling was telling me that she had loads of extra time to spend -.- bah. and i think i was the only person in my class who did my essay question. ahhh this is making me doubt whether i actually made the correct choice. hah but anyway am so relieved it's over! been really stressed up the past few days over all the tests..and i guess i was moodier than usual in sch too. always getting irritated at little things that i normal dont even get irritated with. hope no one noticed :P

finally got the time to watch one whole ep of the channel u drama today :) haha ultimate bliss! always have to make do with watching snippets of it everyday cuz of the loads of stuff i have to do but i actually watched one whole ep without any interruption today :) :)
sanlee must lend me the whole set of dvds aft cts are over kays!

enough rambling..just attempt to do some work before sleeping tonight. toodles!

early day!

2007-02-28T18:05:00.000+08:00

first time i actually reached home so early today! haha got home at twelve plus lar..which is like super early :) havent went home so early in ages..

lessons today were slack..only had two proper lessons plus pe. and we didnt even run or do stuff for pe..just ended up watching a video of our frisbee lessons in the air-conditioned room =P heh. if only every pe lesson could be like that. lol. anyway on a side note..i am hooked on the channel u drama series at seven pm everyday! yes..am trying not to be tempted to watch it everyday lar..and the male lead is super nice! even though jingxuan says i have weird tastes but i still like him all the same :) planning to borrow the dvds frm sanlee aft cts cuz i know tt if i start watching now i can forget about doing any work at all.

am supposed to be mugging right now but i dont feel like starting on my chem notes at all. boo.

weekend

2007-02-25T21:29:00.000+08:00

quick recap of how i spent my weekend..spent most of saturday at my cousin's house. had a family gathering over there..did nth much except eat and play with the nine dogs that lived in the backyard. haha yes..can u imagine someone having nine dogs? o.0 and all of them look almost the same..lol they actually started out with three at first before two of them mated and had six more dogs. :P stayed there till abt one-ish cuz my dad was busy playing mahjong upstairs..was falling asleep by the time we headed home.

spent the aftnoon today at my mom's friend house..my bro pang-sehed us and said he didnt wanna go cuz he had to study for his tests tml so i had to go alone with my parents. just stoned there throughout the entire session while my mom chatted with her friends lar..gosh was so glad when my dad decided to drive me home first aft some time. phew.

having a church wedding and dinner to attend to next sat. bleah. almost every weekend is filled with something and i have no time to do what i want. shall stop my whining here. boo.

signing lesson!

2007-02-22T23:51:00.000+08:00

feeling absolutely tired now..updating for abit before heading to bed :P just came back frm sign language classes..heh had a two hour course on the basics of sign language. though this is the third time i am actually learning how to sign the alphabets..but that's about all i really know. lol. struggling to rmb all the basic words that i learnt but towards the end of the lesson everything was just seeping through my brain :\

just finished my lesson plans for the tuition curriculum :) haha feel so relieved lar..was chionging the lesson plan out aft i came back. feel so mentally drained now..had to look through the websites to find suitable resources. ahh hope what i came out with was up to scratch lar..meeting up with the rest of the volunteers tml night to discuss about what we did. ahhhh. cip for two consecutive nights is really draining..but oh well it's for a good cause :)

have no idea why i feel so shagged even though its like only the second day of sch aft the long cny break..hah having two more gatherings this sat and sun so my whole weekend is almost filled up. i need some time to myself to just seriously chill out. havent had the time to do so since eons ago.

okay enough of my constant ramblings..shall head off to sleep now aft packing my stuff for tml. my eyes are barely open right now..

happy new year!

2007-02-18T16:07:00.000+08:00

slacking at my grandma's hse now..heh my family doesnt really go hse visiting during cny cuz my dad's relatives are mostly in malaysia. so we usually just head over to my grandma's hse on my mom's side everyday..cuz everyone will come here to visit her. hah am quite glad that i am spared frm all the hse visiting tt other pple have to do :P been catching up on alot of sleep these few days..tt's why i am in such a gd mood these few days. not getting enough sleep makes me feel cranky :S

had my reunion dinner ytd night..and my grandma whipped up alot of yummy food. yes and needless to say..i ate till i was super full :P haha..and i played blackjack with my relatives aft tt. but my luck wasnt that good though..lost five bucks in total. must play again soon to recoup my losses! shall update again when i have the time tml..

movie screening

2007-02-15T22:59:00.000+08:00

just came back frm my class learning journey trip..went to watch the new jack neo's movie "just follow law" with fann wong and gurmit singh in it. hah the whole show wasnt that good but there were snippets here and there that were quite funny lar..thought it was so amusing to watch fann wong acting as an uncouth man scratching herself at all the wrong places when all she does normally is act in all the pretty roles :P

hah just went to check my sat results..lol my results werent that fantastic but i guess it's okay lar..kinda expected it to be around this range anyway :) having an impromptu class picnic tml..haha am just going to bring whatever i have to eat and sit on the grass patch to watch our class soccer team. yay. a much needed break frm all the hectic schedules and mountains of work to do..and the best part is..my mom is coming back frm paris tml morning! wahahaha..miss her aft not seeing her for two weeks straight :)

my grandma just gave me loads of cny goodies to eat..haha she ordered one whole bottle of pineapple tarts and kueh bankit (the white flour-like biscuit) for me. haha can take my time to finish all the goodies. the neighbours gave us loads of other stuff to eat too..shall turn into a glutton with all these temptations lar -.- okay shall go pack my bag and sleep now. toodles!

boo

2007-02-11T16:46:00.000+08:00

finally switched to the new blogger..haha been putting it off for a while now but the whole server is really fast :) a big diff compared to the old one which is seriously laggy.

went to buy vday gifts just now at compass point and it was jam packed with pple lar..haha. loads of stalls selling cny goodies..anw bought like eleven packs of sweets altogether at this shop. haha when i brought it to the counter the cashier must have thought tt i am really weird for buying so much. :P find tt i actually like giving presents more than i like getting them..heh just feel quite nice to be giving instead of taking all the time.

guitar auds results coming out tml i think..*shudders* wish me all the best! sanlee is giving me a swensens' treat if things dont go as expected so i wont feel so bad. am just desperately trying not to get my hopes up and be mentally prepared for any bad news that may come my way..i guess this is better for me. so that i will treasure any piece of good news that may come my way even more :)

i survived!

2007-02-08T21:14:00.000+08:00

omg everything i typed was gone in a flash cuz i clicked the link to some other website. grrr so silly of me. now i have to retype everything over again :(

i officially survived guitar auds! though i screwed up the whole thing but i am still glad tt its over lar..was severly stressed and traumatized for the start of this week cuz of this matter. feel so relieved now tt it is over..hah results are coming out this weekend *crosses fingers* sanlee commented tt i sounded like my fingers were having muscle spasms when i was playing this particular section of the song cuz i was too nervous. and overall my playing sounded alot worse frm my usual prac lar..but ah it's over. nth much i can do abt it anymore. and thks sanlee for letting me whine to u the whole journey home! :)

spent the aftnoon making xiling's present..heh dont think she will read this post in time tonight so i guess it's okay to talk abt it :P made a nice board for her with all the pretty trinkets. it looks quite pretty to me. hope she will like it when we celebrate her bday tml! :) gah shall stop procrastinating online and start on my gp hw which is due tml..toodles!

bah

2007-02-06T20:22:00.000+08:00

havent had time to blog in ages..been busy with loads of stuff lar. coming here to rant abit before embarking on my guitar practice. had my physics lecture test today..lol and i made a very silly mistake. hah but i had no time to check it thru so i just left it as it is =P having math test and guitar auds tml! am just gonna concentrate on practising on my guitar..so i really hope all my efforts wont go to waste! o.0 hopefully aft tml my life will become more normal. been really stressful and traumatizing these few days cuz of me worrying about how my auds will turn out. get a grip on urself cheryl. sigh.

having a scratchy throat now. its irritating me. just hope i wont get sick. esp not now when so many things are going on. cant wait for the cny long break next week so i can catch a breather frm all the ongoing stuff. heh and i feel like taking part in the amazing race thing next week during the cny celebrations. haha. it sounds fun. yep shall go take out my guitar now and start preparing for tml's auds..wish me luck! :)

whoopee

2007-02-01T21:03:00.000+08:00

just manged to finish all the stuff that i was supposed to do..including the lesson plan for the tuition centre :) :) haha hope it isn't too crappy though..feel like i have a huge responsibility to come up with something proper cuz what the kids at the tuition centre learn may just depend on my tiny lesson plan :p

one month has alr passed doubly quickly. slowly adapting to my hectic schedule. hmm have more commitments this yr due to stuff like cip lar..and the childcare reading programme tt i signed up for last yr is starting next mon too. it clashes with my guitar pracs lar..shall see how things go at my auds next wed first before deciding :\ thinking about the looming auds just give me the jitters..cuz i am prolly the worst player in the whole section :( shall just try to practise hard this week and hope for the best lar.

sch today was rather slack..though we spent the whole of econs talking about loads of stuff with ms lee. hah actually most of the convo just revolved around one specific topic..though i shall decline to make any further comments here for safety's sake. found the whole issue quite amusing..amusing how one incident can actually make u appreciate other people tt u nvr appreciated before :) but maybe i was too fast in passing a judgement on tt issue lar..maybe things will work out in the long run. at least that is what i really hope for :S

sending my mom off at the airport tml night..looking forward to the swensens' farewell dinner/supper. what a glutton i am :)

aching

2007-01-30T20:31:00.000+08:00

just slacking away for abit now..surprisingly i dont hafta rush to finish any work tt's due tml :) haha so rare lar..aching alot frm mon's pe. didnt feel much aft pt ytd but when i woke up today to go to school my whole body was seriously aching :\ could barely control my legs when i walk down the stairs cuz of the muscle aches. but our aftnoon pe teacher is really nice! as nice as ms chai :) she is so encouraging to us..even when we cant do certain stuff properly. haha this makes me more enthu for aftnoon pe sessions..

today's lessons were rather slack lar..nth major. my mondays to thursdays all end rather late. sigh miss going home early to slack and sleep. when i come home the sky is almost perpetually dark alr. tsk. only early day now is fri..but tt's only when i have no cip at night. not going this week..hafta send my mom off tt night and i havent started on the work tt the pple at the tuition center assigned us yet :\ keep on procrastinating..shall get started on it soon.

reflections

2007-01-27T19:59:00.000+08:00

just took my sat test today. heh finally it's over! though the whole thing was really mentally draining though. imagine working ur brains frm eight in the morning to two in the aftnoon :\ was so mentally drained out tt i totally slacked my whole day when i came home..couldnt bother to do anything constructive :P

have quite a lot of stuff to accomplish next week..haha looking forward to cip on fri night and the hwa sports day thing next sat in sch :) but not sure if i can go for the fri meeting since my mom is going overseas on that night. yes she is going to paris again for two whole weeks :( i wanna go too..she promised to bring me next year aft my a lvls. so m looking forward to it..though it is still very far away.

been pondering about stuff recently..realized how impt it is for a person to just know how to loosen up sometimes instead of being bogged down by all his/her personal commitments blah blah. otherwise it's really impossible for you to cope in the long run without having any breakdowns :) yep so shall try not to be so hard on myself sometimes..something which i have been trying to do this yr. everything has been working well so far..so shall see how things go :)

ramblings

2007-01-25T20:00:00.000+08:00

coming online for a little while before starting on my sat practice paper. gosh it's on this sat but somehow i dont really feel very reassured about taking it at all. haish and i really dont wanna waste money to retake it again lar..one time is how ex can.

school was rather okay today. feel so accomplished cuz i sat thru all the lectures attentively..err maybe except for physics lar cuz it was freaking cold sitting right under the air con :P and i could understand everything in h3 math! haha resisted the urge to bum around with junxin for once by playing bingo :) been getting loads of sleep lately..been sleeping at around ten-ish or eleven every night which is so much earlier as compared to last yr. haha but it proves to be more effective for me lar..but feel so tsk for being such a pig -.-

short day tml..looking forward to it. havent had a short day for ages cuz usually have cip on fri nights which mean that i have to stay in school till five plus before going for it. yay. heh shall go start on my sat essay right now which i have been putting off :(

boo

2007-01-21T20:08:00.000+08:00

taking a small breaking frm studying for my sat to blog abit online. didnt watch any movie on fri in the end cuz me and junxin were too tired. hah so both of us ended staying in school till five-ish before heading to ps for dinner. lol aft scrimping on dinner we decided to splurge on ben and jerry's ice cream at the cathay :) just spent a long time slacking on the comfy seats and gossiping about stuff. lol didnt know junx had it in her lar..tsk tsk.

reached ywca late but surprisingly very few pple were there in the first place. in the end only abt eight pple were present including the both of us. was supposed to develop some kinda curriculum for the deaf kids so tt tuition can be more fun for them. but sadly i really cant remember what i was taught for eng in sec sch lar..so junx and i ended up stoning thru most of the session. haha didnt really give much help at all except for a few suggestions here and there..meeting two weeks later again to discusss our progress. hope i can brainstorm for more ideas for the lessons by then :P

reading jingxuan's blog made me recall how miffed i was on sat night at the food court due to the inconsiderate family who was hogging the table lar. my whole family was waiting for a table when my mom spotted this table with a family of three who was almost finished. the parents sitting there have alr finished their dinner and only their daughter was left eating. there was at most only two spoonfuls of rice in her bowl and she took like more than fifteen mins to finish tt two spoonfuls lar..gosh my mom and i were talking about how inconsiderate they were. i mean..the least u could do when pple are waiting for ur table is to finish up ur food asap and leave right. but the little girl took like ten mins for one spoonful or something. -.- sigh cant believe how inconsiderate some pple can be..

on a side note..so glad tt i finally made the decision to continue h3 math. like yeah..am relieved tt i actually finalized my decision instead of thinking about whether to drop it all the time. shall go back to mugging for my sat again..hoho

drained

2007-01-17T21:02:00.000+08:00

just feel so mentally and physically drained out frm school..from all the crazy workload and all. sheesh not sure if it's just me stressing myself out for nothing or what larh. and i just realized that my sat test is next sat. w-o-w. i almost forgot all about it..

still in a dilemma as to whether to drop my h3 math. seriously i feel that i should spend more time brushing up my main subs instead of spending excess energy on stuff which i can barely even understand. but on the other hand i feel so wasted cuz i have alr taken it for one yr plus. sigh. someone give me some advice pls :\

guitar prac today was as usual..very slack. just ended up practising our syf song by ourselves again. ahhh. quite freaked out by the looming auditions..though i dont even know when it will be taking place. i just have this phobia of auds..will just screw everything up when i am nervous -.-

been rambling alot since school started. just need an outlet to get everything off my chest. going to watch a movie aft school on fri. either cha wu or pan's labrinyth. yay a much needed break for me :)

2007-01-14T21:11:00.000+08:00

had a terribly mundane weekend that involved catching up on my overdue stuff :\ was supposed to go out for dinner on sat night with my sec1 clique but got cancelled last min cuz kel was sick. but it's alright larh we will go out some other time!

was reading jingxuan's blog about how jealousy can actually cause a friendship to break down. find that it rings true. when you start getting jealous of someone, you will start putting tt particular person down for whatever reasons subconsciously..and tt's when the friendship will go downhill :\ on a separate note, my senior once told me it's the friendships that you think are the strongest tt are actually the most fragile. it really got me thinking cuz it's so true as well. when i came into rj, those friends whom i thought i would nvr lose just started drifting away. but i m glad tt i had the chance to experience the strengths of other friendships as well. so i am just going to count my blessings! :)

my aunt just told me tt she subscribed to mobtv. how cool is tt lar..you can actually catch all the tv shows u want on the comp. lol tt means i can watch all the variety shows tt i wanna watch but always have no time for when they are shown on tv. haha but cant start watching right yet..sigh still have to rush to finish my h3 tutorial. cuz i am the super sway one who got called to hand up my tutorial next lesson. boo :(

crazy whoosh

2007-01-10T20:01:00.000+08:00

finally got the time to come online to blog. lol the past few days just practically went past me in a whoosh. sheesh..am still trying to adapt to the hectic schedules and all. whoever tt said tt j2 will pass even more quickly than when u were in j1 was definitely right. sigh. i don't really mind all the school work but i just don't like the stress that comes with it. hurhur am i contradicting myself or what. lol.

watched almost half of the curse of the golden flower today. heh another half to go..though the show is a little draggy lar but still quite interesting. it looks better than the banquet anyway :) i still havent watched blood diamonds yet! ahhhh i wanna watch it badly..but don't really have the time to catch a movie these days :\

anyway THANKS angela and tania for the pretty cushion. heh although i don't think you will ever read this but yeah..lol and thanks for the nice card too! yep that's all for today..more ramblings again. heh shall go back to chionging my overdue tutorials again.

sunday blues

2007-01-07T21:31:00.000+08:00

end of the weekend alr..heh been busy catching up with the overdue stuff lately. lol and didnt blog for the past few days cuz all the entries i typed didnt show up. only realized tt i had to republish my entire blog to solve the problem a few mins ago -.-

went for some cip briefing on friday. all about tuitioning deaf kids..but the actual tuition wont start till the second term and m really not sure if i have the time to do this. haish. was hoping tt it would start really soon so i can at least commit for the first term. bleah. really wanted to do this thing..maybe i should look for some other cip stuff to do if i cant make it for this one :(

feeling very unproductive today lar. grrr..keep on getting distracted in the midst of doing work. but at least i started revising my h3 stuff..heh got 2 chapters done this weekend. lol shall try to catch up with all the h3 stuff frm now on..cuz if really cannot then i might have to drop it alr :S haish so confusing. it's like i want to drop so i got more time for other stuff but like very wasted at the same time. gah :\

boo

2007-01-04T19:01:00.000+08:00

second day of school today..heh the teachers went straight to normal lessons. hmm but gp lesson today was quite interesting lar..the new relief teacher was funny :) but grr have to bring my gp file for her tml and its about three inches thick :\ have to drag it around sch tml lar..

homeroom on the seventh floor now..heh quite ulu but i guess it gives me a chance to exercise almost everyday. lol will try to use the stairs more often from now on! hah quite glad to be back with the class..kinda missed sitting around with each other in class and just talking nonsense :)

guess it will be quite hectic frm now on and tt means less time for blogging and other stuff..so i guess i shall be blogging alot less as compared to the hols. gtg for dinner now before starting on my overdue holiday hw. totally regret not doing them during the hols lar..feel so stressed now over it -.-

carpe diem

2007-01-02T12:26:00.000+08:00

last day of the holidays before sch officially starts..having mixed feelings about it :\ still have loads of stuff to do by the end of today. tsk tsk. and i havent even started on vectors yet! faints.

anyway happy new yr everyone! though it's one day late..heh :) havent really sat down to think about my resolutions yet but read one article last night about how to go about setting realistic goals. it was rather inspiring lar..except tt i read it at one plus last night and was feeling abit groggy so couldnt really absorb everything properly.

shall try to enjoy the last day of the hols before embarking on another hectic sch yr..got quite alot of stuff lined up in the first few mths of sch..esp since i m supposed to do some cip reading thing to young kids. toodles!

class gathering

2006-12-31T21:56:00.000+08:00

shall just blog abit about my weekend..supposed to stay at home to finish my unfinished stuff but ended up procrastinating and doing some other stuff instead.

went for class gathering on sat..heh a total of fifteen pple turned up which was not bad alr lor considering tt it was rather last min. headed to the mind's cafe near dhoby ghaut. it's basically a nice cosy little cafe with lots of board games for you to play with ur friends. the food there was yummy too! ordered a crispy chicken platter for my lunch :)

played the game of life first with all the girls cuz we decided to start with a simpler and no-brainer game since we cant seem to figure out how to play all the other games we picked. and i ended up having the most money in the end! haha accumulated more than $1.4 million in cash lar..excluding all the life cards :)

aft tt we started playing this game called 'first hand' where you basically have to make the hand signals shown on the card displayed. the slowest person to do so will have to take the card and the loser is the one with the most number of cards at the end of the game. i joined in the second round where we decided to work in pairs..paired up with wanling at first and we didnt do too badly i guess. hah but aft tt when i paired with zhixu i started getting abit blur. ended up losing tt round. :P celebrated wanling's bday aft tt with a small brownie for her!

had to rush home aft tt cuz i was going out for dinner with my family. boo if not i could have pooled with the rest. :( but dinner at the thai restaurant along changi village was good too! :) had a ten course meal cuz of some promotion thingy and woah all of us were super full aft tt. heh but the food was good lar.

spent today at my grandma's sis bday celebration at her hse. hah but i played badminton with my bro before tt so i was pretty tired when i got there. ended up watching baby's day out and a lil bit of stuart little 2 on tv before heading home.

two days left to sch and i havent done my physics and math hw. gosh i am so dead. -.-

coda

2006-12-29T15:04:00.000+08:00

five more days to the start of school :S having an influx of pre-school blues now..

went for my dental appt yesterday aftnoon. was feeling pretty jittery at first about it cuz of some of the things my dentist told my mom over the phone. something involving a canal root surgery if my teeth still hurt for a few days aft this appt. anyway had two fillings done..force to open my mouth wide for about two hours. pure torture o.0 my whole jaw was pretty numb aft tt too..so couldnt eat for a few hours. and all i had was a piece of cake for breakfast so was super hungry. thanks to xiling who bought me bk!

went for coda aft tt at vch..it's basically a band concert with all the raffles students or alumni playing. thought the whole line-up of songs was rather boring..and many of the songs seems to be repeated frm last yr -.- the only nice part were the ensembles lar. the sax item was quite nice. the pple playing sounds zai.. :) the flutes item was quite pleasant to listen to as well. oh well though the whole concert wasnt exactly fabulous but still..the main reason tt i went was to support my friends who are playing lar..lol

hmm just got a unexpected x'mas card frm yukit a few days ago..and was rather inspired by the what she said in it. yep so i am motivated to follow her advice! haha she said tt i make her sound like some old granny when i thanked her for them.. :)

just a random thing here..was playing with my cousin's n70 nokia phone and i found out tt it's really cool. lol he has sims 2 in his phone! haha though its much simpler than the pc version but still it's super cool! there are loads of other games too..haha makes me want to change to tt phone too! lol just for the games! :P

as a last note..special thanks to jingxuan who helped me with this new template! my blog looks so pretty now! =]

the season of giving

2006-12-25T11:48:00.000+08:00

merry x'mas! :) it's finally christmas today! thanks for all the sms greetings and pretty cards frm everyone!

hmm it doesn't really feel like x'mas today..lol always have this perception that christmas is supposed to be a magical day but when i woke up this morning everything just felt so er...normal. haha quite disappointing actually. boo. was expecting something special to happen. but my whole family is having steamboat for dinner tonight :) so i will be a very happy person tonight.

heh on a side note..i have alr opened all my presents last night and the day before. lol didn't have the patience to wait till christmas. heh got quite a few nice stuff..got a pretty silver bracelet frm my mom, a pink ipod cover frm my aunt among all the presents..

christmas really makes me feel like the year has come to a complete end. am really amazed at how this yr passed so quickly. and it makes me ponder about all the things i have achieved in these twelve months..and about how i have grown up considerably. realize that i am actually a very blessed person..it's just that when you get too caught up in the fast pace of life someimtes..you tend to forget the things that really matters and start taking them for granted. yep..so here's a great thanks to everyone who helped me through this yr in one way or another! :)

x'mas musical

2006-12-22T11:04:00.000+08:00

shall blog abit abt the x'mas musical i went at trees' church ytd..quite a few rj pple went too including some that i didnt know as well. the x'mas musical was quite nice and the atmosphere was great too lar..but didnt stay for dinner with the cell aft tt. went off with yunlin to white sands to eat :P

had swensens' for dinner..the food was rather horrible cuz we ordered the set meal. the seafood baked rice that i ate had some gooey yellow sauce on top of the rice which tasted abit weird at first. the only thing i liked was the chocolate ice cream i got for dessert. the both of us yakked until eight plus abt loads of stuff lar..it was like a major catching up session :) must seriously go out together before the hols end!

am seriously dreading the start of school..it will probably be even more hectic than this yr which was alr bad enough for me :S plus there is the syf and a lvls to worry abt..if i managed to pass the auds for guitar that is. faints. so much stuff for me to do and i just cant seem to get down to doing them. boo. hate myself when i procrastinate so much.

boo

2006-12-21T11:10:00.000+08:00

heyhey! havent blogged for a few days..been raining heavily for the past few days and my internet got a bit wonky. the connection was seriously lagging so i was too lazy to blog.

been out for the past few days with my mom to do some x'mas shopping. heh went out on mon with her to centrepoint. bought stuff frm marks and spencers and sins..which is some cool counter with loads of nice looking chocs. then went over to esprit. bought a nice green knitted sweater :) plus two tops and a pouch. heh so happy..my mom was saying tt i dun need to buy any new yr's clothes next yr alr :P

then went back to rg on wed to collect my cert..the whole sch was quite deserted lar. ms christina wasnt there..was hoping to see her. got ms veronica instead..who kinda chided me for coming back at this time when they were so busy with all the sec one stuff and all -.- returned all my long overdue stuff aft tt..which included a blazer i borrowed frm co in sec three and a band skirt :P

met my mom aft tt..did some more x'mas shopping before heading home. the hols are really passing so fast..and i havent even started doing any proper stuff..going for trees' x'mas musical at her church later with yunlin and jung. heard it's going to be four hours long..hope i don't get too hungry in between :P

ikea

2006-12-17T17:13:00.000+08:00

my whole family went ikea ytd for lunch. it was super crowded everywhere..had trouble finding an empty table to sit at. ordered tomato spaghetti and meatballs for lunch. the meatballs are very yummy!! plus the chicken wings too..haha

spent time aft lunch walking around ikea buying household stuff..the whole building was very spacious. quite nice to walk around if not for the heaps of people trying to shop at the same time as us. bought some decorative stuff for my room too :)

played mahjong and my grandma aft dinner at home..haha everyone lost to my mom who was the only person who won money. but i didnt really lose much lar..ninety cents only. cuz we didnt play the 'tai' thing so each game was only worth twenty or forty cents. playing tonight again i think..whee :P

x'mas shopping

2006-12-15T20:40:00.000+08:00

spent time with my mom today :) went out for lunch with her at compass point. hah then followed her around while she did some x'mas shopping. bought a new turtle keychain frm action city which is damn cute.

heh bought nice gift wrappers and tags too..planning to start wrapping all my x'mas gifts tml. always feel that it is damn fun to wrap x'mas presents. too bad my parents don't wanna set up the x'mas tree this yr..they think it is too troublesome :( dont't even think we will have any family gathering this x'mas :( :(

my whole family is going to the newly opened ikea tml..haha courts is having its official opening tml too. yay! miss the yummy hotdogs frm ikea..always like to overload them with lots of mustard and ketchup :)

dreams

2006-12-13T13:47:00.000+08:00

just went swimming in the morning with my bro..haha didnt get alot darker though i swam for abt one hr. twelve laps in total :) it isn't alot actually..wanted to swim more but it was reaching noon so we finished earlier.

had a dream last night. lol. it was really weird cuz i forgot abt my dream when i woke up..but while i was swimming, recollections of the dream just came back to me. actually the dream was nth much..just dreamt tt my dad bought me a new cybershot camera. haha lol had no idea why i dreamt abt tt.

my mom is all mysterious about my x'mas present. lol she refused to tell me what she bought..though she alr bought it even before my bday. i suddenly realized today tt she might have bought me a pair of birkies..but when i asked her she said she didn't. boo so i shall continue with my guessing game :P shall scoot off to continue with weffriddles. m on lvl 17!

stuck

2006-12-12T01:09:00.000+08:00

m stuck on lvl 15 of weffriddles now..ahhhh got to the last picture which was brighter than the rest but nothing worked when i substituted the words there in the url -.-

rah! this is making me crazy! haha but i m so proud i got past lvl 14..lol it was pretty hard for me since i know nuts abt url stuff :) yay..but got a hint frm some other forum that it was not in the usual html form before i finally managed to figure out the answer. anybody able to give me more hints? :P

it's almost two am now and i m still not feeling tired. my body clock is seriously warped. hah been sleeping at two-ish this past week and waking up past ten in the morning. feel like a total bum. promised my bro to go to the gym tml morning at nine am..hope i can drag myself out of bed in time. lol he had a hard time waking me up the last time we went to the gym together. must resume my fitness plan tml morning! :) one of the rare times i am feeling so 'on' about exercising..

yawns..feel a little tired now frm staring at the comp for the past hr. shall go off to bed aft finishing my game of msn checkers..heh i seriously suck at it. am losing everytime i play this game :(

boo!

2006-12-11T16:30:00.000+08:00

it's raining now. was planning to go swim a few laps with my bro just now. boo. -.-

had quite a busy weekend. went out on sat with grace and xiling to orchard. haven't been there for so long..felt abit out of touch with all the new stuff that are there. walked around wisma and taka before heading to pepperlunch to eat. i was the only one who really ate lar -.- had a beef pepper rice set..which is quite yummy. was super full aft tt..

sanlee came to meet us at around three plus..then we headed to heeren. alot of new shops there! plus the levi's new store was simply huge! with loads of nice jeans too..BUT the stuff there were horribly ex lar. walked around for a bit more before we got quite sian..wanted to go bugis but xiling had to meet her parents for dinner at paragon. so we headed to the starbucks cafe there to rot without buying anything. lol we just pretended tt the leftover drinks at the table were ours. hah. had a great time catching up with the gang..talked abt loads of stuff lar..yay should have another outing soon to celebrate sanlee's bday! hah let's go sentosa! :)

went for jingxuan's comp ytd at the esplanade..met wenhao at the station before heading there to find the recital studio. junxin met us later on. hah so all of us went in to watch the performance..gosh the studio was like eerily quiet when someone is performing lar. i didnt even dare to sneeze or move around too much cuz every single sound that i make seems to resonate through the whole room -.- nearly fell asleep during the first person's performance though..haha but the second player kept me awake though. so me and wenhao concluded tt those tt didnt make us fall asleep is considered zai alr..hah. but jingxuan was like super zai lar. so happy tt u got into the finals! must tell us the results k..hope u liked the flowers and ur belated bday present k!

went to suntec to have dinner at fish and co..had the yummy seafood platter which made me feel very happy. and i actually finished the whole plate of food on my own! think my appetite is growing by the day..wanted to have dessert at andersen's aft tt but was too full so we settled for ben and jerry's ice cream! had the choc chip one..but it was a lil too sweet for me by the time i finished the whole cup. went home aft tt..was quite tired but ended up waiting for my mom to come home aft work at two am. :)

SANLEE and XILING, let's have our baking session at my hse soon!!! my oven is seriously under-used :P

stuck

2006-12-08T15:13:00.000+08:00

haha got this through jingxuan's blog..m hooked on doing puzzles on http://weffriddles.com. m currently stuck at lvl ten =( the first few levels were quite easy but i relied on forums for help towards the end. boo. tearing my hair out over the lvl i m stuck at...gah!

shopping!

2006-12-05T23:32:00.000+08:00

went to get sanlee's b-day presents today since it's coming soon this thurs. but met up with angela early in the morning to go to some warehse sale..had to drag myself out of bed lar. hah you better thank me for sacrificing my sleep angela..we reached there five mins before the actual time and had to squeeze in the lift lobby cuz the cruel people in the office refused to open up their doors for us. imagine about a hundred people squeezing in a lift lobby that is one quarter the size of a normal classroom. was quite surprised no one actually fainted frm the suffocating atmosphere..and i had to get jostled around by a few horrible aunties who pushed me away frm the queue so tt they could get in first. that really got me a little peeved..it looks like being civilized is in not in their dictionary at all -.-

and when we got into the venue it was alr packed with loads of people..and us being such noobs had a hard time even getting to the front of the booth to see what was on sale. but the discounts were huge..that explains why everyone was chionging to grab all the stuff. the whole experience wasnt very pleasant but i guess i did learn some insights on the art of shopping during a sale. =P

met grace and xiling aft tt to get sanlee's present frm far east. we bought it in like half an hour so ended up hanging aroung there the whole aftnoon. lol being there really brings back alot of memories frm being in rg. like how we always used to eat at cahaya's aft cca..going for half priced waffles on tues at gelare..shopping at all the shops for concert presents etc. ahhh kinda miss sec sch life..once you move on to jc things just wont be the same anymore. =( don't get me wrong. jc life is really fun. but u just don't do the same stuff as u do in sec sch anymore..feel like going back to rg to visit one of these days.

anyway aft spending the whole aftnoon at far east i bought a nice pair of shoes and some other stuff. hah. m quite happy right now. retail therapy is working for me today. i sound like a total bimbo now. lol..shall scoot off to watch the repeat of the shows on channel u. missed the first screening at eight just now. bye!

things to do

2006-12-04T19:47:00.000+08:00

graduation ceremony

2006-12-03T21:56:00.000+08:00

2006-11-22T21:56:00.000+08:00

went for my dental appt today..for a regular checkup. everything went quite okay..just tt i got a little phobia of going to the dentist's now aft all the horrible stuff tt i had to go through cuz of my braces. headed to sch for guitar prac aft tt. hah it was the first guitar session tt i could catch up with lar..aft chionging to practise my syf piece every night for the whole of this week. =] yay felt quite happy.

was talking with sanlee and the rest of the guitar pple today and we were lamenting about how half of the hols has alr flown away. in a sense it's quite true lar..i spent like the whole of this month doing nth but just slacking at home -.- and all too soon it will be time to go back to sch again. kinda dreading it.. esp since there are the a levels looming around the corner. =( plus syf and all tt stuff..quite afraid tt i wont be good enough to pass the selection test for syf. cuz there will be all the new juniors coming in next yr and some of them will be frm guitar in sec sch..argh just have to practise hard and hope for the best.

having a sore throat now. think i am going to fall sick..ahhh and i m supposed to go out with my mom tml. heh hope can get well by tml..cuz i definitely dont wanna waste my hols cooped up at home. and i am inspired to go exercising tml morning again! hah! my fitness plan in action =]

fitness plan

2006-11-21T12:59:00.000+08:00

guitar prac

2006-11-20T21:18:00.000+08:00

had intensive guitar prac today..but mass prac was quite fun. it allows me to learn better than sectionals..was like chionging to learn the syf piece last night. had a gruelling four hr self prac..now there is a nasty blister on my middle finger -.- m tempted to prick it but that would be quite gross. m starting to love playing guitar..esp aft i realized tt our syf piece is really quite nice aft all. =] comtemplating whether to sign up for extra guitar lessons with sanlee to brush up our skills in time for syf..if we manage to pass the selection test that is. =P

m starting to regret not accepting the levi's job..ahhhh the minimum requirement was six weeks and i only wanted to work for four. that's why i didnt want the job in the end..but on hindsight i should have gone for it. argh i hate myself for being so fickle minded. m rather bored of rotting at home or going out with my friends. and my mom just told me tt our holiday plans are cancelled because everything was too last min. boo. i was looking forward to snorkelling in bintan. guess i will have to wait till next yr..

there are so many things that i need to do..but i keep procrastinating cuz they are not exactly fun to begin with. need to embark on my fitness plan soon too..m like ballooning during the hols due to the huge amt of junk tt i eat. must get down to exercising this week. woohoo.

class chalet

2006-11-16T18:21:00.000+08:00

had my class chalet for the last three days! hah overall it was quite fun lar..though i really dreaded all the clearing up part o.0 went late on the first day and had bbq food for dinner..which was rather yummy. watched 'house of wax' aft tt and abit of 'final destination'. was so freaked out watching the second movie tt i just escaped halfway through it. =P played some of chianzey's high games aft tt..and got suaned throughout the whole thing as usual. lol. was too tired to retaliate aft a while..finally slept at around six am and woke up around eleven.

headed to downtown east for lunch at the food court. my class decided to cycle for abit aft tt so we all rented bikes and cycled to the playground at pasir ris park. had tons of fun playing the green merry go round thingy..lol it was thrilling. hah but it took a long while for us to actually make one full round cuz we were too heavy. went back to the chalet aft tt and me wanling and chianzey went to set up the fire for the bbq. then for some weird reason i became their supervisor..hah the whole thing was quite tiring lar..but we tried to get high by doing all sorts of weird stuff. tried our hands at cooking mushrooms aft tt..haha first time cooking in my entire life! we just randomly added garlic sauce and water..lol the first batch tasted abit bland but the second batch tasted better cuz we added pepper sauce to it. then ms lee came and offered to cook the last batch of mushrooms..and it tasted like ten times better than ours. hah so all of us got free cooking lessons frm her. watched pple play mahjong aft tt cuz the rest were watching wishing stairs and i was too freaked out to watch..the sound effects alone were enough to freak me out completely. tried to watch fantastic four aft tt but was so tired tt i fell asleep on the couch..hah went to sleep aft tt cuz everybody was like super tired alr.

had to clean up the whole chalet in the morning..and we discovered tt the kitchen was infested with an army of ants lar cuz someone left food on the table overnight. gosh and there was a lizard which drowned in a cup of soft drink too. ewww...hah but we managed to clear things up aft a while. went for breakfast at white sand's macs before heading home. was so tired tt i slept for four hours straight..must have another class outing during the hols soon! our class is fun to be with..cuz everybody just hangs out with everyone else =]

not sure if i should go for inunion tml with xiling and eliza. feel kinda sian to go back and visit the juniors..though i think i should go cuz i havent even gone back to see them this yr at all -.- oh yeah btw met a few juniors during the chalet..felt abit awkward but i still tried to wave to them lar. hah. so much for being friendly.anyway finally uploaded all the photos tt my class took at the science center..view them here =]

slacked around sch aft tt for a while watching junxin mo wenhao and yong chun playing soccer. hah didnt join cuz i felt very tired. so just stoned around the tracks while they kicked the ball around..decided to have lunch in sch aft tt and we were all playing uno aft eating. lol i m like a total noob at it lar..keep having to draw cards and making silly mistakes. hah but i still managed to finish my cards before sk! went to meet my mom aft tt..brought me for some facial thingy. then went thai express for dinner! havent gone there in ages..missed the tom yum glass noodles! all the food was yummy..except for the dessert which was coconut icecream with red bean paste. got sick of it aft eating almost half of the serving.

bummer

2006-10-29T23:05:00.000+08:00

just spent the whole day bumming in front of the comp playing runescape..lol starting to get a lil bit bored of it now. haha but not to the point of quitting the game totally =P have loads of stuff tt i want to do! gotta finish watching princess hours and csi new york..m in the middle of both shows. and i have finally decided to work during the hols i think..dun think i will ever get this opportunity again so i should prolly just give it a shot and see how things go. hope it will be fun and not a waste of my holiday time =]

did my theory exam ytd..lol have a bad feeling tt i wont be able to scrape through this time round. spent like half an hour staring at the very first section not knowing how to do it at all. was so stressed during the exam lar. but i managed to finish everything in time. phew. was rushing through the last bit. then went to wanling's hse to do pw. haha i love my pw group..our stuff looks so pro now! partly cuz of wanling's comp skills..lol m like an IT idiot next to them -.- shall scoot off to watch princess hours now!

hurt finger...

2006-10-23T22:20:00.000+08:00

m amazed at how dense i can be sometimes..typing miserably with one finger missing cuz it's all plastered up. cant really use it properly. ahh well to cut a long story short. went out with my mom aft sch today at wisma. all went well until our trip back home. my dad offered to pick us up frm the mrt station and since he asked me to buy some milk frm the supermarket.. i made my way to cheers to get it. but all the huge cartons were on the top shelve of the fridge and when i reached up to take one..my unfortunate finger went into the ventilator fan and nearly got chopped off.

lol think i m like seriously slow or something..when my finger got caught in the fan and came out relatively unscathed. i thought nth happened and denied tt i cut myself when my mom asked if something happened to me. then when i examined my finger again aft getting the milk it was all black due to the filthy fan which havent been cleaned in ages..and i was still happily telling my mom tt it wasnt painful at all. by the time i reached the counter it was like bleeding and i was still immune to the wounds. it was only until i got into my dad's car did my finger start hurting -.- boo and the cashier at cheers didnt help at all when my mom told her what happened..all she did was to ask me why i didnt ask her to get the milk for me when i couldnt reach it. -.-" and she's about the same height as me. argh. didnt want to be rude..so i just stood there smiling and nodding at her words. gah..my mom had a good time telling everyone how my finger got stuck in the fan..everyone in the family was just terribly amazed with me. boo.

addicted...

2006-10-22T21:08:00.000+08:00

played runescape today until i nearly went blind. just sat in front of the comp for a few hrs straight..and i havent even gotten down to studying for my theory exam!!! ahh..m quite sure i'm gonna fail and i feel rather bad for wasting my parents' money signing up for this exam. m determined not to play rs again until next sat. hrumph.

Nothing Gold Can Stay
by Robert Frost.

Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

whee!

2006-10-18T23:43:00.000+08:00

got back everything ytd but was too tired to blog about it until now. did quite okay for everything..though m abit peeved for physics. oh well but i did better for econs than i had expected which was really a surprise for me. =] yep so i guess i just have to be contented with my grades lar. cant be too greedy all the time.

2006-10-16T22:44:00.000+08:00

2006-10-13T19:06:00.000+08:00

noticed tt i always start my entry with some crappy title that always repeat itself a few entries later..hah but if i don't put a title it seems a lil weird. okay..tt's irrelevant. supposed to go for open hse today but i didnt go in the end..stayed home for the whole day. spent the morning playing runescape -.- i should really really stop playing this game..it's getting addictive. and i just realized tt my piano theory exam is in two weeks! yikes..didnt even thought it is tt soon. and i havent started studying for it at all yet..so frm tml onwards i resolve to begin mugging for my exam seriously. anyway watched two eps of csi new york today..found the set of dvds in the cupboard. lol didnt even know my hse has it..it's quite interesting actually though i dun really enjoy watching the part where they do the dissection. totally gross. lol got interested in the show aft they showed one ep in sch during chem lessons..yepyep going off for dinner now. blog another time soon.

2006-10-10T22:12:00.000+08:00

h3 math was cancelled today so me jo wanling and mo went to far east to bum around today. heh mo met her mom on the way..lol her mom and her act like sisters lar. how cool is that man. =] havent been there in ages..always used to go there for lunch back in rg. kinda miss the atmosphere there..and i miss the food at cahaya's! ended up walking around the whole place before heading to anatolia to eat. didnt plan on eating anything at first but ended up being tempted by the pasta salad at the salad bar. lol shared a plate with jo and we practically filled the whole plate with heaps of pasta salad. hah there was like a whole mountain of salad aft we finished picking everything. =P and they offered us free bread as well! wanted to walk around some more aft tt but we were so tired tt we decided to head home instead. just finished doing my pw stuff..and guess what..m playing runescape again. lol m like addicted to it alr. tsk tsk.

boo

2006-10-08T19:47:00.000+08:00

been slacking for the whole of today..hmm life aft promos does seem abit aimless aft all. lol there is like absolutely so much free time tt i dunno what to do at all. kinda getting sick of going out alr aft going out so frequently in the past week. but anyway i went to vivo city ytd! gosh the mall is gigantic..and the shops there are quite nice =] just tt many of them werent open yet..but still it was fun to walk around admiring everything. must definitely go back there again aft its official opening.

was going through all the stuff in my cupboard today. went through all the boxes of notes tt were accquired frm sec sch..most of them were notes frm all the band concerts and stuff. felt quite nostalgic going through the notes and all the memories frm rgssb started coming back to me. now tt i actually thought abt it..i kinda miss doing all the band stuff. having tiring band pracs, getting scolded by snrs, crying when they announced the syf results etc. esp the camaderie among our batch. although i thought tt it's no big deal tt we are going to rj cuz we're ultimately in the same sch but the same feeling just isn't there anymore. oh well at least we still see each other around in sch and are not in different jcs..tt would be much worse -.- went to get a farewell present for my snr today. gosh cant believe time passes so quickly..it seems like just ytd when i went for orientation and started classes. but i heard tt jc2 passes even more quickly so i guess it wont be too far off when we actually have our farewell. =(

2006-10-05T22:40:00.000+08:00

went out with angela today aft the op briefing today! lol had loads of fun gossiping and catching up =] havent really talked to her properly in ages and i rarely ever see her at sch..went orchard to do some window shopping. lol saw quite alot of nice stuff..haha but angela considers like half of the things she saw nice so yeah..almost everything was nice. -.- headed to raffles city aft tt cuz she wanted to look at some bags. lol and we walked into all the expensive shops for fun but nobody bothered abt us. bah. the sales people didnt even bother to greet us..which really got me peeved. sometimes the service at these so called branded shops is really lousy and it's normally those sales people at the normal shops that are nice to you. spent some time slacking at subway aft tt and i tried the special concoction of lemon tea and coke which was really not bad. lol angela even called her friend to ask for the exact proportion of the coke and lemon tea. talked bout loads of stuff before we finally decided to head home =] as a sidenote..decided to call the levi's head office tml to ask for an interview. tania and angela are interested in working too! yay so hopefully i wont feel so lonely while working =]

2006-10-03T20:52:00.000+08:00

went to marina square today with yunlin and jung to hang out. had lunch at spageddies..ordered a grilled chicken primavera which is some spaghetti dish with chicken bits on it. it was really yummy..lol but yunlin and jung were on a diet so i ended up to be the only one having a proper meal while jung munched on her salad and yunlin had a milkshake. lol totally felt like a super greedy monster. =P

went around window shopping for a while..saw a few stuff that were quite nice but i wasnt in the mood to get them today so i shall go back soon to buy everything. =] aft walking for a while we decided to go play pool. all of us were like noobs lar..we were even having trouble arranging the balls together. can never seem to get it right. but hah my pool skills are improving! so proud of myself..i feel so satisfied whenever i have a good shot. jung was a pro at it though..wanna go play pool more often though. it seems quite fun to me. ended up staying there for abt three hours before heading home.

really think i m growing fatter. must start exercising and stop snacking excessively from now on..though i just ate a whole truckload of snacks just now cuz my aunt brought back alot of nice yummy stuff frm her japan trip. argh..must really resist the temptation to stuff everything into my mouth.

went to jumbo for dinner ytd..had lots of yummy stuff esp the chili crabs which was really delicious. and aft dinner we headed to the water skiing area to watch people ski. hah my aunt was asking me to try it out one day while i m still young. lol actually i dun mind experimenting cuz it seems quite fun. but i will be very stressed out cuz there will be so many people watching me at the sides..quite embarrassing if i keep falling into the water. anyone interested in trying it out with me? (^^)

promos are finally over!!! (^^) although the physics paper wasnt really a good ending to the exams but still m quite relieved tt everything is over and done with. hah no more mugging for the time being..going to resurrect my blog once again from now onwards! =]

headed to heeren with my class today aft our paper and decided to go to the village for lunch..which is sort of like under the same company as marche lar..lol felt so outdated cuz lots of shops have changed alr. think they are undergoing some major renovation stuff right now..anyway ordered a rosti with chicken sausage for lunch which was really quite yummy! hah but i embarrassed myself trying to open the root beer bottle without success until one of the waitress came over and offered to open it for me. bleah just wanted to dig a hole to bury myself in lar -.-

hah and one of the waiter there seems to have an interest in jing xuan. damn funny. he was helping us clear our plates when he suddenly faced jingxuan and said tt she is very cute. lol. that was like super random lar. and he even waved to us while we were leaving and asked us to come back again. heh too bad we didnt get to take a photo of the two of them together.

went to watch the banquet aft tt with the same pple..the show was okay lar just tt it was quite bloody. wasnt as nice as i thought it would be though. hanged around in orchard aft tt with wanling, mo and jo aft tt to shop! havent gone shopping in ages lar..felt so liberated. =] there are so many things i wanna do aft promos tt i dun really know where to start from. heh anyway good luck to all the peeps who are having their last papers on monday! jiayou!

and yesterday i kinda slacked thru the whole day too..cuz i was just feeling super stressed out from everything tt i cudnt really focus on my work anymore. haiyarh..i should really be more focused and not feel sleepy everytime i stare at my notes. realized my last few posts consist of all my rants. lol. this blog really helps me to release my pent-up frustrations..kk shall go back to mugging the last two pg of my energy notes now and start doing my tys. =]

2006-09-06T11:53:00.000+08:00

gosh..time really flies. it's alr wed of the sch hols..another five more days to sch reopening. bleah couldnt resist the temptation of coming online now though i m supposed to be mugging econs. sheesh i should really really be more focused. shall attempt to be more efficient today. supposed to finish two chapters of chem and one chapter of econs by today according to my study plan..but think i will only manage to do one chap of each. -.-

oh yeah..my mom asked me again whether i wanted to work during the year end hols..haha but i m pretty undecided yet. part of me wants to work cuz i think it will be a good experience for me..and working sounds quite fun too..esp since it's at levi's. hope i can get good discounts for the jeans over there if i work part-time =P but..part of me want to spend the hols taking a good break instead of spending my time working cuz it'll be rather tiring i guess. oh well shall decide aft promos..okay back to studying for me now!

bored..

2006-09-02T22:21:00.000+08:00

supposed to be doing pw online now..but my pw mates are missing. grr.. -.- it's getting on my nerves alr. heh feel like ranting abit today.

anyway read jingxuan's blog just now and i m starting to regret not going to sch on teachers' day! everything sounds so interesting lar..and i missed a certain person's wonderful performance. gosh..bet i would have laughed my guts out if i had went. boohoo..must get someone to fill me in on everything when sch reopens.

stuck at home today with my chem notes..still have five pgs to go for my arenes notes. determined to get thru all of it by tonight. jiayou! a warped attempt to make me feel more optimistic abt studying chem. =] was flipping through the papers today and saw an ad for the new cybershot cam. it's super chio lar..but bet it's damn ex too. argh so all i can do is to drool at it for the time being..

oh yeah..my aunt is like super nice lar. she bought a new desktop at my grandma's hse for me and my bro cuz we are now stuck using a old labtop which is like super slow at everything. and she doesnt even need to use the new comp at all cuz she has her own labtop. ahh cant believe how nice she can be sometimes. =] okay enough ranting..shall get back to my notes!

boo

2006-08-31T20:14:00.000+08:00

didnt go to school again..kinda disappointed tt i missed the teachers' day celebrations. bet it was like damn fun to watch all the items tt the teachers put up. somehow, i always seem to have a knack for missing this day of sch. missed it when i was in sec three and four in rg too..cuz i had my piano exams on tt day. lol. so concidental. lazed around the hse for the whole day..and watched abit of harry potter dvds cuz my bro was watchin them in the living room.

argh. feel so bored now. the medicine is making me feel so groggy again. bleah hate tt feeling..it just makes u feel so unconstructive cuz all u can do is sleep for hours and hours. did an online quiz just now..lol yep tt shows just how bored i m. =P

Take the 100 Acre Personality Quiz!

the results are pretty inaccurate though..have never been good with kids. m just not the sort who would like play with them and stuff..ha and i enjoy goofing around with people sometimes too. so the part abt people not misbehaving around me is not really true too..ah well just took the quiz for the fun of it..so the results dun really matter lar..

sick =(

2006-08-30T18:56:00.000+08:00

missed schoool today cuz i was sick..had been down with flu since last fri. bleah feel so horrible aft taking the medicine from the doc cuz it just makes u feel so sleepy..lol slept my whole afternoon away when i was supposed to do my work instead. argh it gets irritating aft a while cuz i just feel super unproductive. -.-

all the stress of promos is like coming to me right now lar..and i keep getting distracted whenever i study. my mind just keeps wandering off to dreamland. bleah...must try to focus more instead of dreaming all the time. argh. m like very slack this yr as compared to last yr in rg. no idea why too..but tt explains my lousy CT results lar. must really buck up for the upcoming exams. jiayou! (^ ^)

having teachers' day celebrations tml..ahh gotta write all my teachers' notes by tonight..totally forgot all abt it this aftnoon. cant wait to see a certain teacher dancing on stage..lol it should be quite interesting to watch. must rmb to bring along my cam tml to take more pictures.. =] scooting off for dinner now before starting on my notes again later on...

beautiful things in life

2006-08-19T23:46:00.000+08:00

received a meaningful email and thought i would share it here..hmm it made me reflect quite abit aft reading it lar. i mean..sometimes we can be so caught up in our own world, getting frustrated over the nitty gritty stuff tt we fail to see the more impt things in life. so here goes... =]

When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and the 2 cups of coffee.

One day, a professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls.He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.

The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with an unanimous "yes." The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar effectively filling! the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.

"Now," said the professor as the laughter subsided, "I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things--your family, your children, your health, your friends and your favorite passions---and if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full. The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house and your car. The sand is everything else---the small stuff.

"If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued, "there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff you will never have room for the things that are important to you.

"Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your spouse out to dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal. Take care of the golf balls first---the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand."

One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented. The professor smiled."I'm glad you asked. It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend."

went to din tai fung with my mom and grandma today for lunch..heh havent been there before cuz the last few times my family went i wasnt free to go with them. had some shrimp fried rice, wanton mee, pork chop and the famous xiao long bao. hmm everything was quite nice lar but i thought the xiao long bao wasnt as nice as most pple made it out to be. oh well..but eating it reminded me of the sino exchange trip to beijing. remembered the time when we ate lots of dumplings for dinner cuz we ordered too much. each of us had like one big plateful of dumplings each and there was so much leftovers tt we gave the rest to the beggars on the streets. =P

aft tt went to shop around for junxin's prezzie. wanted to find her something green and cute so i decided to get a giant turtle soft toy for her. hah it's darn cute lar..so tempted to get the small version for myself. (^^) having my econs test tml and i havent even started studying yet. gosh..starting to stress out now. heh hope i will be able to finish reading the notes for tonight. keep on getting so distracted nowadays. tsk tsk.

nat day hols!

2006-08-09T11:53:00.000+08:00

have to help do the housework at home these few days cuz my maid just went back so we will have to wait till the new maid arrives. lol made me realize how dependent i m on my maid in the past lar..still not very used to having to make my bed in the morning or washing the dishes aft dinner. =P but i helped to mop the floor ytd anyway..heh was so tired aft mopping the whole hse tt i immediately went to take a long afternoon nap aft tt. >.< sheesh feel so lousy. really hope my new maid will come asap so tt i wont feel so stressed out anymore. boohoo.

extreme gourmet

2006-07-08T20:50:00.000+08:00

just went to have dinner at toa payoh just now. feeling so bloated now cuz all of us overate. heh oh yeah and i tried crocodile meat for the very first time just now! hah i didnt even know it was crocodile meat in the first place lar. thought it was just chicken cuz we ordered one plate of nonya chicken in the first place. den when everything came we realized there was one extra dish. lol so when the waitress came over to check she told us tt she delivered the dish wrongly to our table and told us tt what we were eating was actually crocodile meat -.- haha all of us were so shocked lar..but it was quite nice lar..tasted alot like chicken. if she had told us what it was in the first place i dun think i would have dared to touch it one bit. =P

yep anyway my mom left for paris ytd alr..will be gone for two weeks. and my dad just fetched my grandma and aunt to the airport cuz they will be going to korea for a holiday. ha so the house will be like quite empty for at least one whole week..feels abit weird cuz it's usually quite noisy in here. now its so much quieter. yep anyway gtg alr..blog again soon!

2006-07-03T20:05:00.000+08:00

ichiban boshi!

2006-07-02T18:22:00.000+08:00

hmm..nth interesting today so i shall blog abt what happened ytd =P went to great world city ytd..hmm nvr been there before but the shops there looked quite nice. went window shopping for a while before heading to ichiban boshi for lunch. heh nvr knew there was such a sushi place..but the sushi there was alot nicer than sakae or sushi tei. heh the food there is really yummy lar..esp the soft shell crab temaki and unagi sushi. had a mini cha soba, ebi sushi and spicy tuna mayo as well. ate so much tt i felt so piggy lar..must definitely go back there some other day!

went to catch superman aft tt. the movie was okay lar but it was abit draggy cuz the whole thing lasted for two plus hours..and i dun really like this kinda action movies alot too. headed to meet my family at novena for dinner at my cousin's cafe aft tt. the food improved quite abit frm the last time we went there..had a large portion of spaghetti goreng plus some vanilla ice cream.. ooh and the cheese cake there is absolutely yummy! got my mom to 'dabao' some back for me and my bro.

having class outing at sentosa tml..but not sure whether i shud go cuz quite a few pple are not going. and if i go i will have to cancel my piano lesson for the umpteenth time again -.- ahh shall see how things go lar..the whole thing sounds quite fun aft all =)

movies again!

2006-06-30T21:09:00.000+08:00

went out to orchard today again! wanted to see whether there was anything nice at all the big sales..but was either lazy to join the long queues for the fitting room or didnt really find anything tt i liked lar. =( yepyep..lunched at seoul garden today. lol first time eating there..had lots of grilled terriyaki chicken, sausages and burnt beanstalks. ha always like eating burnt beanstalks everytime we have teppanyaki at home. the food there wasnt really worth the money lar..but i guess u go there for the experience. was quite fun cooking all the stuff..though i had alot of trouble trying not to get the food burnt =P

headed to cine aft tt to catch a movie. hah ended up watching the king and the clown. the movie was quite nice! but i had to rely on the eng subtitles to understand what it was abt.. gets abit irritating aft a while cuz u cant really concentrate on watching the action. yep and the male lead looked so pretty in the show! he keeps reminding me of vaness wu. lol but he's alot chioer lar. heh.

ooh btw saw a feature this morning for royston tan's new movie - 4:30..it looks interesting. but not really sure whether i shud watch it cuz heard there is very few dialogue in the show. might be too cheem for me to understand -.- anyone interested in watching it too? hah going to watch superman tml..got a free ticket for it. cant believe i will be watching a movie everyday for these three days..lol cuz i didnt watch any at all during the hols. making up for time lost i guess. =P

yay!

2006-06-29T23:35:00.000+08:00

haha common test are finally over!! (^^) hee although i didnt really study this time round..but still feeling quite relieved lar. yep..went out with the class for a movie aft our math paper. hmm and as usual sk was the only guy among us..lol damn funny lar cuz he was like trying to get other guys to go but nobody was free so he didnt really have a choice.

went to lido to get the tickets..hah someone suggested watching scary movie 4. lol so we just went along with it in the end. headed to wheelock aft tt for dinner cuz all of us were really starving..decided on having fish and co in the end! heh it was really yummy! shared fish and chips with andrea. lol havent eaten it in ages..always order the seafood platter whenever i go there with my parents. it's a must-try =]

rushed over to catch our movie aft tt..but it was a total bore lar..possibly the worst movie i've ever watched -.- lol basically it just took bits and pieces frm all sorts of scary movies and made it funny. there was this part adapted frm ju-on or the grudge where the lil boy appeared at the top of the stairs. but the funny part was the female lead just started conversing with him in jap abt how to stop the aliens tt were invading the earth. luckily it was just an hr and a half..or else i would have been bored to death. hah so everyone who havent watched it yet..don't watch it!

boohoo

2006-06-27T19:12:00.000+08:00

chem was really a killer today -.- felt like all my studying wasnt really put to good use. and i actually studied the most for chem lar..total waste of my time. grrr....just hope i will be able to scrape thru physics tml. havent started on the tutorials and tys at all lar. boohoo. m amazed at how slack i can get nowadays. lol.

anyway looking forward to the end of all the tests! hah hope there is going to be a class outing on fri to sentosa or ecp. (^ ^) feel like getting a nice tan. lol. but m still hesitant lar..cuz it's abit hard to reverse the effects if i dun like it aft tt. there are so many things that i wanna do aft all the tests are over lar. haha. too many to list down here.

anyway shall go off for dinner now before mugging for physics again. =]

yep anyway shall recount what i did on friday! hah did quite abit of stuff on tt day..woke up early in the morning and took the long train ride to jurong east for my pw interview. lol nearly died during the train ride cuz it's like twenty plus stops away. heh but everything went along quite smoothly lar..the lady tt we interviewed was super nice! yep so the whole thing was not as scary as we thought it would be. =P

headed to macs for breakfast aft tt cuz all of us were starving. absolutely love the hashbrowns there! they're so yummy! heh went to the library to discuss pw stuff aft tt but realized tt the comps available only had internet explorer so we couldnt actually do much lar. yep so aft staying there for a while..we decided to go play pool! heh still suck quite badly at the game lar..but managed to improve my whacking skills by abit. haha feel so proud of myself lar..

aft tt i rushed to get a haircut before heading home to get ready for the band concert. lol ended up meeting jing xuan, jo and sk late at raffles city before walking to vch together. was in such a rush tt i forgot to bring my snr's present and didnt get the time to buy any flowers for grace and xiling. really sorry guys! gosh feel so guilty over this. -.- the whole concert was quite okay lar..but the first half was a lil boring. was trying not to get bored during all the songs. but the sax ensemble was quite nice! (^^) hmm this whole thing just brings back all the memories frm the past..ahh getting all nostalgic again. *sniffs anyway shall go off to have my dinner now! toodles!

oh yeah..aft my dental appt was finished..my dentist was like asking me whether i wanted to go for this glamour shot thingy for free. lol but basically it also means tt they will be able to use my photo as and when they like blah blah. heh the whole thing sounds amusing lar but there is no way i will go for this..the whole thing smells kinda fishy -.-

haha anyway shall go off to continue watching my new korea drama..it's called 'my lovely sam-soon'. it's super funny lar..unlike the typical korean drama which tends to be quite draggy sometimes. the female lead is very cute too! haha her funny antics never fail to make me laugh (^ ^) everyone who havent watched it yet shud go watch it soon!
