because of you -

first day at work

2009-07-02T19:37:00.003+08:00

First day of work came and went. Had to wake up as early as 3.45am, take the cab to 3 other people's house (cos the company has low budget. No choice), reached there at 5am, start operating at 6am. Gosh. And I couldnt sleep last night, sleeping only like a good 45 minute. I started lying on the bed at 10 pm and even put my phone to silent mode so that any incoming messages will not disturb me. OMG. but i still couldnt sleep. I laid in bed and even my pet dog was snoring so loudly and yet I couldnt even fall asleep! But amazingly, I didnt feel tired during the 9 hrs of work and now, no matter how tired I am, I'll try to stay awake for the time being, so that I will be ablr to sleep at night. Imgaine, if i'm still unable to slp tonight, I'm sooooo dead.

Tmr is another longg day at work. -_-

work

2009-07-01T17:08:00.003+08:00

Starting work @ the airport tmr. Weird shift timings, either 6am to 3 pm or 3pm to 12 am. Fortunately, I am given the earlier shift, which means I will have afternoon free to do other things. haha. I seriously wonder how am I going to wake up in time to start work since I have been sleeping at 2 am, waking up at 1 pm everyday. Oh Man. Hope it will be fun selling things at the aiport, although what we are selling are all random stuff like toothbrush, shaver, weird bags (omggg. who will buy.) Anyway I personally feel morning time past by faster, so shouldnt be a problem.(maybe I said too early. maybe I'll start complaining after my first day at work) Working for 7 days between the period of 1/7 to 12/7 (5 days in a row, break, then last 2 days) and I told them I'm ending work on the 19th, so as to take a break before school starts. haha

So, its quite fast actually. Before u know it, I would have ended my work stint at the airport. (:

Felt depressed yesterday when I got the news that I may have to cancel my bkk trip or push it forward. Cos if i go as planned, I will definately have to quarantine myself and it will eat into the camp. However, if I push forward, it means I have to add a 100 bucks extra. Oh gosh. And things werent made better when my maid woke me up like early in the morning just to ask me what I would like for breakfast TOMORROW. Gosh. tomorrow. Tsk. I just don't like ppl waking me up for trival stuff..

OH! sudden cravings for mochi icecream, ever since I ate that at sakae during daphne n wx's bday celebration. haha.

There are so manyy things I want to do before school starts. Dim sum-ing, Cycling, Swimming, Bowling, Movies, Botanical Gardens, Zoo....

3 more daysss!

home

2009-06-29T23:54:00.004+08:00

I just felt like blogging all of a sudden. There is nothing much to be done online too except for msning.
I'm now hooked onto the song home. Its lyrics is so true and touching. It will be something that will soon relate to me when i leave for Canada next year, going to a faraway country for 4 months, not knowing the people there and not being able to see my loved ones in Singapore for 4 whole months! I'm sure many who go overseas to study would feel the same way. No matter how happening it is overseas (from the look of their photos), home will still be the best. Always the best.

Another summer day has come and gone away
In Paris and Rome, I wanna go home
Maybe surrounded by a million people I
Still feel all alone, I 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 were cold and flat and you deserve more than that
Another airplane, another sunny place I'm lucky I know
but I wanna go home, I've got to go home

Let me go home
I'm just too far from where you are
I gotta come home
Let me go home I've had my run, baby I'm done 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
'Cause this was not your dream, but you always believed in me
Another winter day has come and gone away
In neither Paris nor Rome and I wanna go home
I miss you, you know

Let me go home
I've had my run
Baby I'm done
I wanna go home
Let me go home
It'll all be alright
I'll be home tonight
I'm coming back home

And yes, I've finally blogged.

2009

2009-01-01T23:47:00.002+08:00

This year's countdown was spent at joce's house. Had a slumber party. Food, ice cream, movies, card games, chit chat. And we were watching horror movies all the way and stopping to count down, then continue again. lol. What a way to end 2008 and welcome 2009.

Happy 2009 people! Have a joyful 2009! (:

a big thanks

2008-12-31T12:49:00.003+08:00

A very big thank you to all those who bought the cny goodies frm me or wanted to sign up for the credit card. Its greatly appreciated. And i should say, like sf, i'm super proud of our 16-0h-6 clique. Cos the bulk of it comes from them and they are those who are willing to help with no strings attached. Seriously, i should say even my uni friends are not like them! Not that they do not want to help, but they will think very long or procrastinate in doing things. Oh well, i'm glad to say that i'm proud to be a 16/06-er. hee (:

The new year is coming.. 2008 has seriously passed by quickly. I think i have spent the time in 2008 well.. Its time to embrace a whole new 2009. Lets count up tonight alright! haha (cos my mum was saying that it is more positive to be counting up.. haha) (:

results day

2008-12-29T17:42:00.002+08:00

So, results day came. Quite emotionaless cos its all part and parcel of uni life. I think what makes a fulfilling uni life is not just on the grades, the GPA score that we have at the end of the day and rather. Instead, we should ask ourself what have we done during the 3/4 years of life as an undergraduate that is significant and that when we look back in 5 or 10 years time, we will know that we had led a very fulfilling and enriching uni life.
My sec and JC life has never been significant.. I was always doing tut after tut and wasnt really active in CCAs. So, looking back at those days, i would say i have never achieve much. So what if we do well in tests. I think if we compare between someone who is inactive but scores super well in exams and someone who leads an active jc life but scores ok only in exams, i think i'll prefer the latter one. Afterall, these education years is short and after a few more years, i'll be slogging my butt off in the workplace that i am in. So, my aim for these 3 years is to have slightly above average GPA grades and to try things that i have never done b4! Study smart and play hard at the same time (:

Okk.. Just came back from the gym. Really out of shape now since i havent been exercising and ihg is coming.. eek. Talking abt plain laziness. I want to go to the new jp.. there is starbucks and the ntuc is 24 hrs! hahaha!

updates

2008-12-28T00:18:00.002+08:00

HELLO (:
Its been a long lone long long time since i've updated. haha
So, holidays are coming to an end now! Starting school soon.. and the new timetable that i have is quite horrible.. Alot of 8.30 classes, and classes are one after another. Like frm 8.30 all the way to 2.30! if not then i have only one lesson/lec in one day. so not balanced. But since all my lessons start super early, i get to go back hall early and rest. I just love nuaing alone in hall in the afternoon. LOL.

So, what have i been doing during the holidays. Lets see..
Meetups / outings (and my mum was still quite mad cos i went back at 5 am aft kbox session with hall ppl. she kept saying this when she nags at me!) / movies (lots of it.. till one time that i watched almost ALL the movies that were screening in the cinema. and i must, i must say, TWILIGHT IS <3 ! lol) / tried mambo for the first time / busy finding ideas to raise funds for hab (in the end we are selling cny cookies and promoting credit card for students. So, help me a little and buy some from me!) / shopping (lots of it and there is sales everywhere due to recession.) / korea (the things there are really CHEAP. one top for $5, one pair of shoes for $10. So cheap till the extend that i bought 3 pairs of shoes at one go and a few tops! haha) / Genting (booked it in the last minute.. took a plane there but we couldnt buy alcoholic drinks when we arrived in Singapore.. cos they said the flight to msia isnt international. like wth. haha.. Genting was quite boring.. cos i havent hit the min age req to enter the casino and the rest of the games are quite kiddy..So, shopped a bit there and played pool, bowling, and sang karaoke most of the time.. haha. i learned to play pool properly. omg!) / christmas celebration with 16/06 -ers (this is the first time i have eaten such nice bbq chicken wings! cos normally the chicken wings will always be uncooked. and the guys did all the bbqing. bx's self invention is quite nice too - cheese plus hotdog, plus bacon wrapped around it.haha. I guess ns has trained them to be better cooks or sth.. A big contrast frm last yr's bbq! Really really thanks for such nice bbq food and sorry that the girls didnt bbq much! hee)

I can't wait to take part in the sundown marathon with wy! Its going to be fun running at night! whee hahaha

Wishing all of u an early happy new year, since i blog quite rarely nowadays due to plain laziness. hee

exam, exam, exam

2008-11-14T01:54:00.002+08:00

ROARRRRRRR.

I totally lost my drive to study. No E to P, no P to O expectancy.

When i'm going through the torture of exams, i'll want the holidays to come quickly. But when the holidays start, i'll feel that i want to return back to the exam period so that i can re-do my paper n then score since i'll noe what things to take note of..all the silly mistakes.. 0.0 hahaha! Ok. I'm talking crap now. But i seriously feel this way sometimes. haha.

Had one paper so far. 3 more to go. I can't wait for 26th November, 3.30 pm. That's when we can celebrate n rejoice. Wheee. First paper was alright. Its a miracle that i managed to concentrate and noe what i was writing since i had only slept for 2 hrs plus. No thanks to the group of guys from the opposite block which made soooo much noise at like 2 plus 3 plus the fire alarm which went off at ard 5.. OMG. I totally couldnt sleep. I seriously felt like coming out of my room and shout at them to quieten down.

I'm in love with this song now. But this obsession will only last for a while before i'll go on to another song. (wenxin will nod her head in agreement. haha)

Never let you go by Janice

The rain, just never seems to bring
The joy, I feel the same
Everlasting pain of my loss remains
My heart, can't seem to learn to part
The hold you left the mark
All that I dreamed of now it seems so stark
Tho I told myself won't hold my breath
A part of me was dying
There is nothing left for me to do now, but give in

If you gave me, one more chance to tell you how I was feeling
I would sing to you and tell you I won't live my life without you
If you gave me, one more chance to tell you how I was feeling
I would hold your hand and look in your eyes and ya know, I'd never let you go
The way, you left me on the train
I don't know what to sayI remember everything on that day
I can't believe we'd never danceI just need one more chance
To share the sunset our one last romance
Tho I told myself won't hold my breath
A part of me was dying
There is nothing left for me to do now, but give in
If you gave me, one more chance to tell you how I was feeling
I would sing to you and tell you I won't live my life without you
If you gave me, one more chance to tell you how I was feeling
I would hold your hand and look in your eyes and ya know,
I'd never let you go

outing with clique

2008-11-02T02:39:00.003+08:00

Met some of the 16-oh-6 clique jux now at vivo. And it has been a very longg time since we sat at tt open area near the balcony and jux relax and talk. Life has been too hectic for each one of us... with many assignments to complete plus the upcoming final examinations! And we jux randomly called Rahman and jux chatted with him. Not prank call but just showing our care and concern. Its a nice feeling to chat with someone whom we have nv seen for such a long time once in a while. It then dwelled on me that it has been a long time since i saw the rest of the class.

And i officially declare that i have no life now. Its always mugging and mugging and more mugging - going to the study room in hall frm 1pm to 6pm then from 8 pm to 2 am.. how no life is this. Oh my! I can't wait for the exams to be over and then play for the entire whole month of Dec, without having to care abt school work. But then again, time really pass very quickly in uni. Its just 6 sets of this 4 mths of school and i will graduate. 6 is very little and i seriously can't imagine myself going out to work so early. I've always wondered if i sld really mug and mug and mug or enjoy uni life to the fullest since this is the last lap. So basically, my life is rather mundane now. Nth interesting at all. Sigh. Except for teh fact taht i'm eating alot.

Okay. If u dun understand wad i'm writing, pls dun blame me cos i'm not thinking well now and its close to 3a.m. now and i'm tired from all the muggings.

hectic life as usual

2008-10-13T01:07:00.002+08:00

I tink it has been a rountine for me to blog somewhat every week.

So, basically, as usual,i've been mugging and slogging my life away..

Some interesting stuff that has happened last week:

1. Run for hope.. we ran 10km! haha! But i walked for like 500m to 1km.. so i effectively ran 9km, which is a great feat for me, considering the fact that i have nv ran this much and seldom train. haha

2. Joined the hall's road relay training.. n i gt super tired aft that as dist+speed=tiredness. lol

3. I'm like frantically seraching for canvassing opportunities as we need to earn enough money to fund our hall event. And being the only one in charge of it plus i have gt no experience in doing such thing, I'm like struggling with it. Anyone gt any lobang? CAN HELP ME? o.o

4. Went for bp mentoring investiture and i was the emcee for it.. All super last minute work.. But it turned out to be fine, considering the fact that i didnt do any emcee work before. But i woke up late on that day.. Supposed to up there at 9.30 am.. but my alarm didnt ring and i woke up at 9.45a.m. Can u imagine? Oh my.. So i rushed and didnt put any makeup at all.. Plus the stupid bus didnt come till quite a while.. So i was quite late as all teh exco members were there alrdyy... getting ready. ahah..Luckily the event starts at like 11.20. I seriously cant imagine if i woke up at like 11.40. I tink i'll get kicked out of the committee. So, when i checked my alarm, i realised that it was set at 8.15 pm instead of am. no wonder it didnt ring....

Okayy.. off to mug again (:

hectic life!

2008-10-03T22:35:00.000+08:00

I SURVIVED THROUGH THIS WEEK!!!!
OH MY!
HAHA!
I'M SOO HAPPY!

cos i was rather stressed over ob and marketing presentation and stats quiz.. plus the never ending tutorials.. But well, the presentations turned out well.. My marketing tutor was saying that its good and the idea is unique so i guess its quite okayy.. except for the video part which couldn't be heard in the beginning. Plus my stats quiz was alright. so my efforts were paid off!

So, I'm now rushing my ob report which is due this coming Monday and my group met up for the FIRST time today to discuss abt it! So, its quite last minute work.. But surprisingly, there isn't much prob and guess we will be able to compile everything by Sunday..

So, its run for hope on Sunday, followed by rehearsal for some investiture in school then project meeting at town at night.. OH MY. My Sunday is quite burnt out. I only have like tomorrow to rest! And i guess i'll be chionging my ob report too.. So = No rest! And although i had just finished my ob n marketing presentations, i've to start preparing for the next 2 presentations next week! This is insane.. Plus HR test coming up. Then exams! Gosh. With no time to breathe at all.

I guess uni life is like this.. Or is it just me? Cos i've endless work to do.. Have to even use the public holiday to discuss proj n study for test etc... Which ate up my entire day. There was simply no time for me to rest at all! Talk abt NO LIFE! But i'm glad that in hall, i have friends to like chill out with when i'm super sian aft all the muggings. (:

stress!

2008-09-26T14:57:00.000+08:00

#$^%%&^%^$^&. I feel like screamingggggggggggg! haha. Cos this recess week is super horrible..

In order to rush out my assignment (have to be handed in online today), i spent like 5 days doing it. 5 days of sitting in front of the computer, trying to make sense of the questions and trying to do some research to support my answers. Super siann can. I didn't even have the time to play n relax and its friday now! School will commence on Mondayy.. Plus i had like project meetings during this week... So, its like study, study, study.. n no playy.. Oh ya.. did i mention that i still have tons to do.. n all these must be done by next weekkkk...... Crap lahhh.. Okayyy i'm feeling rather irritated now. Somemore, I've cut down on my tv time.... N i've been mugging n mugging.. When my frens asked me if i am doing my revisions now, i was like, wad revisions?! I'm still trying to complete my assignments!

But then, at least i have thoroughly enjoyed myself for one night. I was so fed-up in trying to complete my assignment yst, tt i went to kbox with shiying.. on an impulse. So, we started singing n singing... 4 hrs straight, from 7 to 11 pm. Hahah. It really helped in destressing as we turned on the music n mike volume till super loud.. think ppl from the next dooor could hear. But we were supeer highhhh.. haha. My mum thought that i'm crazy cos i have yet to finish my assignment, which is due todayy.. But i really nid a break. But it really helps. Cos aft the kbox session, i could somehow think more clearly. ahhaha (:

Okayyy. i'm so looking forward to sunday's charity run - 3km at ecp. It helps in destressing. Plus think will have another run for hope thingy next wk - 10km i tink.. So funnn.. I'm aso lookking forward to the trip to the gay bar.. I need to RELAX! I want to shoppppppppppppp.. haha

updates

2008-09-19T21:12:00.000+08:00

Its been a longgg time since i last blog. Jux couldn't find the time to do so... I had wanted to blog every weekend. But apparently, I have always been busyyy...

So.. latest update. I'm sick againnn.. Having fever now. Sld be bcos of the macs tt i ate last night. You see, I went back to hall at ard 10 pm (Cos i was discussing my mkting project) and i didn't have dinner at all. So, feeling hungryy, we ordered macs: 20 pieces nuggets and apple pies and milo. See the combi... Plus i was sooo hungry that i keep eating the nuggets, not noeing how much i hae eaten alrdyy... So, I woke up in hall feeling super warm n to add on to it, eileen called me the last minute to send joan off.. So, i rushed straight to the airport. Its been a longg time since i met Joan and to think our latest and last meeting would be the time when i sent her off. I tink i wouldn't have the courage to go to UK all by myself.. Then after that, I ate my lunch in 5 minutes, cos i was late for project meeting.. I tink i'm suffering frm indigestion and to think, i was one of the first few to reach.. Hahha

So, yar.. think the fever worsened jux like tt.. to the extent that my legs feel numb.. But i'm feeling better now.. After sleeping for a few hrs.. Cos i realised that i have been slping at 3 am every night in hall, and waking up at 9 plus.. This is despite the fact that i do not have to wake up soo early as my class is in the afternoon. So, my body clock is quite screwed...But then i realised that i can slp till 1 pm if i am at home.. So weird huh?

So, basically wad have i been busy with.. Doing tutorials after tutorials, doing projects.. I'll be having OB article arena and marketing project when i come back from the break. Plus stats test.. So, my week will be quite xiong.. O_O

I tink i'll be super busy in terms of non-academic too. I am now the exco for bp mentoring.. so i have 14 points in total! 6 points for my distance point, 7 points for being in exco and 1 point for staying with wenxin..(:But last yr's cut-off point was 15! lol. Plus, i have joined love bites (local cip)and HAB for hall stuff.. They put me as business manager - to source for sponsors and opportunities to canvass for money.. Plus, i'm the block rep for my block.. So, basically, its alot of stuff.. But i tink its good for the experience..

I tink we are not listening during stats lesson.. Cos everyone was facebooking and spamming other's walls. Super funnyyy. ahha

It has been a long time since i went shoppinggg.. hmmm.. but i ripped off my moneyy when i bought formal wear frm G2000.. It was super ex cannn.. lol and i have not been meeting some ofmy friends and catching up with them o.o

cat

2008-09-01T01:27:00.003+08:00

I think my screams just now had woke the entire block up..

It all started when i came back to hall and saw this black cat sitting on the stairs.. So my natural instinct was to scream.. Close friends of mine would know that I'm super terrified of cats.. And apparently i screamed so loud that even wenxin who was in her room could hear my screams!

Then when i wanted to fill my bottle, wenxin told me that the cat was in the toilet. So i quickly ran back to the room.. locked the door, leaving wenxin outside. haha. The cat just stood right outside my room at the corridor there.. Wenxin had to chase it away.. haha. And ivan n felicia were all stunned.. cos they saw me leave the room then i quickly ran back again! haha
THANK YOU WENXIN!

haha.. U may not noe how terrified am i..but i'm really that terrified!

driving

2008-08-30T16:02:00.004+08:00

OMG. i MUST BLOG ABOUT THIS!

haha. I drove alone just now! Cos i needed to send my sister to tuition and she was super lazy to take the bus. So, i drove! haha. It may not be a great deal to many of u.. but to me it is.. I seldom drive cos i dun really noe how to park.. Dun laugh at me k? and normally my mum will be bedside me.. haha. So today, since my mum and dad are out and the car is there, so, why not drive? haha. But i've to admit that i was rather scared of the parking part.. Its the parking part that shuns me from driving.. And I actually managed to park properly in just one try! whee.. haha.

okok.. BACK TO THE MUGGING MODE NOW! (:

lack of sleep! Eeks

2008-08-29T20:39:00.004+08:00

I'm deprived of sleep now! Have been sleeping at 2 plus, close to 3 and waking up at like 9 plus 10. Eeek! haha.. I dun noe why am i sleeping so late this week since i realised that i didn't do any of my tutorials in hall this week (i did them at home over the weekends).. no projects this week too.. And then why am i sleeping so late!?! I think i was busy collecting money from the block, typing the name list out etc etc.. And plus i jogged at night too.. (like ard 10 plus 11).. hmm.. haha. Talking abt jogging, I am super proud of myself for jogging twice this week :) We ran with the guys and so the guys had to slow down their pace for us. Its so obvious that they can run so much faster.. Like heard all their ippt got gold one.. haha. And we ran the 199 route! I'm aso quite surprised that i've the stamina to do so :) Slowly, slowly, we shall run the whole of ntu.. which is i tink 5.5 km or sth.. the 199 route is only 3 km.. haha

Had class tea st ntu's sakae yst! $16 nett for tea so we went aft our marketing class. haha. Did we really bond as a class? I think it helped to a certain extent.. cos at least i finally remebered the guys name.. (cos i saw one of the guys at IIC's event on wed.. he waved at me and said "you are cherie right?" i just stunned there cos i couldn't remember him.. And he told me he was in my tut grp.. I gave him a super blur face.. And my friend was like saying u sld have jux said "hi" and pretended that u noe him. haha. Oh well, wad to do.. we only had marketing tut for like 3 times only.. and my memory isn't that fantastic!

Had my first taste of walking out to the coffe shop next to city harvest church last night.. I was quite hungry then and so asked like alot alot of ppl to walk there.. Its like quite far cos its out of ntu.. ahha.. We used like 20 mins to walk there.. But the company of friends has made the walk less tedious =p

Went out with my mum, sis and aunt just now.. Celebrated my mum's bday in advance.. So we went to partyworld and sang for 4 hrs.. Coolness.. haha.. They are like so hip can.. =p So, i ended up not sleeping at home today, to catch up on the lack of slp.. which i normally would do so every friday, when i come home.. haha. i would like slp the whole day lahh..

Project work next week again :s then helping out at ocbc stock challenge then d&d @ dxo...

week 3 of school

2008-08-22T17:19:00.003+08:00

I'm still coughing after 1 week! This cough has been spreading throughout the halls. But i'm glad that my fever has subsided.. So what has been going on for this week...

Had fever last thurs nite in the hall.. My first illness for this year.. haha. Somehow my cough has developed into a fever.. Dragged all the way till sat before going to see the doctor. And i saw this TJ guy outside the clinic and said "hi" to him. The surprising thing was i had never talked to him b4 in TJ althou he was in bp mentoring too and was in the same tuition class for bio in sec 4.. and there we were chatting.. Weird huh? But i still can't remember his name.. haha

OKay.. so went back to the hall on sun nite.. Then a few of them were bored and so went to my room for some HEART TO HEART TALK.. so weird talking to guys abt gossips.. The guys are so gossipy lahhh.. And Felicia kept saying that they always come to my room.. haha..

So for the whole week, i had to rush through my marketing presentation on Markplus.. We were given only 1 week to prepare and we were the first grp to present.. So we dun really noe wad to include and the comment given was that we followed the template too much and was quite dry... But its overr.. haha.. aft 1 week of stress and trying to come out with new marketing strategy and lots of brain cells being killed.. haha.. Next marketing presentation will be in 2 weeks time on shangri-la.. haha. Then more projects to come.. have to interview someone for ob and write a proposal.. Super tight deadline too.. And heard stats aso got presentation.. some casestudy thingy.. oooo So its basically presentation after presentation, project aft project, tutorial aft tutorial.. its impossible to finish the tutorials in advance. abit pointless too.. haha

Had block bbq yesterday.. Saw some unknown faces.. they are freshies too.. So mingle ard.. talk, eat, gossip, play games.. till i forgot to go online to meet my pw grp mates for some discussion.. was 0.5 hr late.. haha..

Oh ya.. and i changed my electives to human resource instead of media in america.. dropped it on the last day of the add drop period cos that was the time when ppl started dropping and there are spaces for quite alot of things.. yea.. but the lecture for hr is boring.. the lecturer explianed 6 slides in 1.5 hrs.. can u imagine it?!? the lecture is seriously going at a snail pace... haha.. but i tink it sld be quite easy although they have a quota for the number of ppl getting A.. 20% or sth like tt.. Cos i seriously can't do tt media in america thingy.. although its interesting, the essay part scares me.. my senior essay is like quite cheem plus i had difficulty doing the first assignment.. The teacher asked us to do a film review of 2 pages but then i no matter how much i write.. how much i cracked my brain, i can't even complete 1 page!!! This is how pathetic it is..

Then we went to Jurong Point yst to do some grocery shopping.. that was my first time going to jurong point and all of them were like saying how can u be studying in ntu when u have nv been to jurong point.. haha.. Kenny drove us there and he wanted me to drive backk.. And i was like refusing to drive someone else's car.. In case anything happen to teh car, i will not feel good.... haha

Okayyy.. Its time to get back to my tutorial.. It seems that the friends of children (sth like bp mentoring) doesn't want me.. I went for their interview but they never contact me..all my frens got contacted alrdyy... :s

2nd week of school

The 2nd week of school has just passed..

And projects have all started.. i'm due to present a marketing case study next thurs.. given only 1 week to prepare.. I guess this is how uni life is.. with more projects to come..

Had cca fair and signed up for akido, guitar, financial management club, lindy hop, welfare services club (the organisation of overseas cip and those sort of like bp mentoring).. But i guess i'll jux give akido and guitar a miss cos akido is on a sat.. plus i tink i'll be participating in hall events like being part of the committee for ocip.. they are going to cambodia next yr... plus will be going round doing sai gangs for the block.. like finding ppl to take part in hall activities, collecting money.. plus studies and projects and i want to join some sub-com in some of the hall events.. it sure seemed quite packed..

I have also been exercising alot lately... ran on mon, basketball IBG on weds and a slight jog, played badminton on thurs followed by another run.. And everyone thinks that i'm good at running since i kept asking them to go for a jog with me.. which apparently i'm not.. i just want to keep fit k?

I'm taking media in america as my elective now.. alot of readings to be done before lecture but the topic is very interesting... talked about war journalists and media in the 19th century.. I think i'll only dread the essay part.. but luckily i've got senior who is willing to help.. :)

AND there are seriously many very nice people in the hall.. Kenny would sometimes drive us to class and back from class.. so we dun have to take the shuttle bus. candice would share with me her notes and presentation exp.. siyan and rebecca for being super friendly.. plus the freshies.. i keep hanging out with layhui, sab n jocelyn.. haha.. n we will keep using msn to like ask ard who would like to go for dinner etc etc.. plus the occasional games and chit chat sessions at one of our rooms.
And i just realised i've been suaning alot of ppl lately "_"

I feel sick from taking the medicine. such an irony.

school life at ntu

2008-08-03T23:20:00.003+08:00

HELLO :)

So basically, school has started for me and week 1 of school was rather slack. Cos there were only lectures, so i had only like classes from 8.30to 12.30 on tues and then 2.30 to 4.30 on wed.. The rest of the time was spent in the hall.. like hanging out at friends room.. playing card games, mahjong (which i totally died in the hands of 3 other seniors.. they are all so pro lahh.. Sld be play alot for the past few yrs. everyday nth to do then play mahjong. haha), watching movies.. And i ate alot.. Mac for supper for 2 consecutive days... at very late timings like 3 a.m... But all these were fun.. We were still in the orientation mood.. So it seems that everyone was quite bored in their rooms and we kept looking for one another.. haha And we gossiped alot.. So much so that each time there were gossip, dunno why ppl will end up saying "cherie is the one who said that" haha.. Sabrina and i are the gossip queens of block 52. :P And once we got so bored that we walked 1 round from our hall, to hall 9 then to 3 n 16 and so forth all the way back to our hall.. haha.

So back track a little..

Had my hall FOC last week.. Didn't go for 2 days cos of driving, which i passed fortunately, accumulating a total of 6 demerit points.. whee.. i can drive now.. But still quite terrible at parking.. Cos we used poles during test and the school car had arrows on its window.. so i roughly noe when to turn n all.. But when parking next to a car, its totally different. :S I still remember i was being rather polite and sweet during the test.. Like nodding my head and said "okay" sweetly everytime the tester asked me to do sth.. like turn right or wadever. haha. My instructor was telling me that i had to respond to the tester (which i tink i didn't do so the first time round) ahha..

And so, i didn't really felt super high during the orientation cos during the 4th day when i went back i hurt my toes while playing games at sentosa.. Cos i hit onto some rocks..So, i didn't really play much for initiation night.. Then the last day was SP night.. Quite sian.. I had like nth to talk to that guy during the whole night.. Jux got no chemistry lahh.. Plus i had to bear with his loud music during the entire ride to the dinner place.. U see, he had this mp3 player and instead of listening the songs tru the earpiece, he simply blasted the song throughout the journey.. Other than that, he was quite nice lahh.. Peeling prawns for everyone to eat..

So, after sp night, my og went to the hooters at clarke quay.. So, yar.. drank quite abit and as u noe, my face will go red easily, so everyone thought that i was drunk but i wasn't at all.. And they kept saying that the fact that i kept insisting that i wasn't drunk meant iwas really drunk.. Wad rubbish.. ahha... And when we went back to the hall, we continued to play drinking games.. Super fun.. :)

Then monday night was the inter hall bash @ Zouk. We left like quite early cos we had class @ 8.30 in the morning.. Imagine going clubbing and then leaving at like ard 12.30. haha. It was super crowded and ppl kept pushing at the dance floor.. Plus they anyone mix the drink.. Although we ordered like vodka plus orange, i felt like i was drinking orange juice!

Then there was the signing up for electives part.. I had only 12 AU s this semester, which is very little. So, i'm required to take an electicve.. But i logged on to the system late and almost all the electives were being taken up, leaving only electives like chinese.. I couldn't even take maths or econs even though there were vacancies cos most of them req prerequisits.. Oh my tian. Can u imagine how pek chek i was.. Cos seriously this is the best time to clear some of my AUs for electives.. So i kept going to the website to take a look but there were no vacancies.. Thank god someone suddenly dropped his elective, which is "media in america".. So, i hurriedly added it although i don't really noe what is it about and whether it will be difficult. Oh well, worse come to worse, i shall SU it.. haha

So, tutorials and seminar start next week and there are alot of reading to be done.. Although i tried reading, nothing seemed to go into my head.. Still in the slack mode.. Plus it seems that they req us to start debating during our first seminar on mon.. Wahh.. like totally not prepared for it.. luckily no marks will be given for the first few rounds..

So now, i'm thinking of what cca to join to enrich my uni life.. "_" and i dun really noe wad i want to do..

But seriously i hope that hall life will not be a big distraction for me.. Like playing every night and all. Its time to exercise some self-discipline next week! But i love the ppl at blk 52.. they are really great friends. every single one of them :)

Cleaning the room

2008-07-27T16:29:00.001+08:00

Unofficially moved into hall 10 yesterday.. Unofficial as the office doesn't noe that i've alrdy started to move in.. Lol. Shared the key with wenxin for the time being..cos if i collect the keys before 1 aug, i have to pay $7 extra everyday.. haha. I just wanted to go there earlier to clean up the room and start putting some of my things there, so that the room will be habitable when i go for my camp tmr.. haha.. so wenxin and i started cleaning the room yst.. I bought like broom, mop etc, like i'm moving house.. the room didn't look that dirty when we first stepped in but once we started cleaning, all the dust started coming out.. haha. My mum was there to help too. She commented that i cleaned too slowly as compared to wenxin.. Well, its considered quite an achievement alrdy okay, considering the fact that i bothered to mop and clean the room.. Didn't see wenxin's dad cos he jux put her down there.. But saw their car from afar.. Easily recognisable cos their car plate was "PHUA *** " haha.. Actually i still have lots of clothes to bring there cos the clothes that i bought yesterday are mostly for the camp.. But seriously,i don't really noe when i'll officially stay there cos i don't really noe the time table yet, like is it very packed for the first week or i don't really have any lessons on the first week. Cos if i dun really have many lessons, wouldn't i feel very bored if i stay in the hostel? haha.

When my mum drove me to ntu yesterday, i realised that we took only appx o.5 hrs, compared to the 1.5 hrs of taking bus, change to train, then change to bus again.. See the drastic difference.. Actaully its quite good to drive there, other than the fact that we do not have the spare cash to buy a car plus i may not pass the test again(i hope i do pass though).

Okay, I hope that i'll meet nice people tomorrow.. Plus 16/06 should have a gathering soon.. All u people, don't be soooo busy lahh.. :D

Holiday-ing

2008-07-21T15:18:00.002+08:00

HELLO :) Long time since i last blogged.. Okay. Basically, nth much is going on in my life right now.. Have been going out, watching movies, shopping, eating.. hmm.. stayed at home quite often too - so often to the extend that i have watched four times of the movie "She's the Man" on Starmovie in a week. Cos they keep playing that movie and i have got nothing to do.. I even got so bored that i read every pieces of the article on the newspapers.. haha.. :p But take note, i'm not complaining.. cos i want to enjoy every moment of this slacking-ness. I may not have the time to do so when school starts and since i'll be staying in the hostel, i may not have tha chance to just laze around the house anymore..

Went out with my mum and aunt last friday.. Ate at Pariss and sang kbox.. Super cool to have Kbox session with them.. And they started singing all the pop song too.. haha.. And i just commented that its good to be single (cos my aunt is single) as we will have the spare cash to do wadever we feel like doing.. And my mum was super shocked at my idea and kept telling me that one has to get married. And i was like, "okayy.. Then i shall not have any children! I can also spend on wadever i like then.. " lol. Then my mum went on and on by saying that one must have child etc etc. I guess my mum's idea of an ideal life is to find a bf in uni, come out to work to graduate for a few years, get married and give birth ard the age of 30.. hmm..

Okay. enough of that. Wenxin and i are allocated to hall 10.. Its like super far from our faculties.. cos its nearer to the NIE side.. Wahh.. I still thought that by staying in the hostel, I can wake up late, and leave the hostel 5 mins b4 school starts.. haiz.. Have to take shuttle bus.. cos bus 199, which can be taken at hall 10's bus stop, will not take me to NBS.. Its still better than travelling 1.5 hr to school everyday.. :p I think hall life should be quite interesting.. My parents decided to go to NTU to take a look last Sunday.. So, its quite fast if we travelled by car - half an hr. And my dad's comment upon seeing the hostel was why like that?!?haha.. And he kept telling us that he's very familiar with NTU cos he often used to go there to eat. lol.

People kept asking me, "Since you didn't go for FOC, how are you going to know more friends?" I too have my fear that people will be in their cliques once school starts.. and i have once asked wy, since u have to plan ur own timetable and different ppl wants to do different courses, plus lectures are of different timings, wouldn't it be difficult to have close friends?? hmm..

Hall camp next week plus driving test (gasp!) Hope i don't get a nasty tester again.. Even if i do get one, I shall rise to the challenge :p

Btw, everyone should watch The Dark knight.. Its good.. :)

I have a sudden craving for NY cheesecake.. One day i shall fly over to NY to eat it. haha

taipei

2008-07-09T20:56:00.002+08:00

I'm back from Taipei :)

Other than the extremely hot and humid weather, I should say i enjoyed myself.. But i think it will be more fun if a huge grp of us went there.. haha

So, we went to jiu fen, dan shui, shi lin night market, wu fen pu, ps bu bu restaurant, places to see the rock, changing of guards, ding tai feng (cos it is originated from there), leo foo village... We tried alot of different type of food.. Ah zhong mian xian, ji pai, ji dan gao etc etc. And we love the mango there :) aah. mango ice cream, mango ice.. The clothes there are super cheap too.. :) Can get nice clothes for $15, nice shorts for $5.. haha. But i think the best part is the sunset at dan shui (that was my first time i saw a sunset. ) plus being able to watch hsiao jing teng xing ge fa biao hui there too.. their stage was super big and grand jux for this event. cos it wasn't even a concert.. The hotel is quite small (but i guess all taiwan hotels which are cheap are ard this size) and there is no windows.. but i lurvee the tv there.. 100 over channels and so i'll watch my meteor garden every night haha but it seems that there is little censorship cos there are some channels which show RA shows.. like so openly.. lol

Photos up at facebook cos i can't seem to upload pic on this blog now..

Tues

2008-07-01T23:11:00.005+08:00

I can sense the disappoinment in my brother's eyes, in my mum's eyes too. I'm aso feeling a little disappointed. Cos my bro has injured his leg.. guess train too much or sth.. so he couldn't compete this coming Thurs. Afterall, he has trained super long for this competition.. but yes, its better to not compete than to come in last in the race.. And who noes it will aggrevate the injury and his leg will give him problem in future.. Well, thats life. Always the unexpected things happen..

And sth happened today. My mum knocked into another car @ bedok that area.. She was sending my bro n sis to school. So, towards bedok view that stretch of road, from temasek pri, she wanted to overtake a car but hit onto it. (She said that she saw it was all clear) So, my sis had to take cab to school as she had exam.. nd to go up that silly slope to AHS from there, it cost her $4 plus. Its expensive these days. And since my bro had to go to ecp for cross country, the lady whose car got hit followed my mum to ECP.. otherwise my bro will be late. Then after that, she asked my mum if my dad wanted to go tgt to the car repair shop. So, she followed my mum to our house first b4 heading to the garage. Super weird and funny.. lol. So, my mum had to pay more that $1000 cos the back part was damaged and since her car is frm parallel importer, its difficult to find that spare part. But, my dad's car had only a scratch which could come off easily.. So, later in the afternoon, when my mum went to pick my sis up, she saw an accident too @ ard the same place.. But its the car itself which hit onto the poles, which is the govt property. And it seems that there is no cars ard at that time. So, my mum was saying that the road is "dirty" haha. Such things happen often on the road. No wonder the tester was super strict with me when i took my test!! (Cos he deducted all the points on the safety aspect)

Okay. cya on Tues :)

jogging

2008-07-01T00:18:00.004+08:00

First day of not having to report to work.. So woke up rather late, went parkway, have swenson for tea, bought a mango jacket, went jogging, went to marina square, had swenson again for supper.. haha.

Had a rather refreshing jog today.. jogged from marine parade hdb blocks there to the end of ecp (towards mountbatten that area). Then in order to lose more weight, i then walked frm jas's house to my home.. haha. I'm glad that there is jasmine to jog with me.. :)

1 more day to taipei. :)

random tots

2008-06-29T16:17:00.004+08:00

My brain is slowly warming up. It is beginning to activate. I can feel it cos now, whenever my sis asks me maths qns, the ans comes quickly. Its not like last time when i took soo long to figure out and read and re-read the qns for dunno how many times.. In school too, when a kid asked me how to do a particular qn.. involving ratio, i couldn't explain to him on the spot.. So, i pretended that i haven't really read the qn yet and while i pretended to read the qn again, i'll think super hard for the ans.. haha.. So, its a good sign that my brain power is slowly coming back.. jux in time when uni starts. :)

So, alot of ppl are going overseas to study. Didn't really think that ppl would go overseas in the past and thought that everyone will still be in this small sunny island and we can often meet up. Good-byes are often the hardest words to say. We will never know what will happen in the future adn may not be that close to those friends whom we always talk to now.. haha.. okay. just some random thoughts. :)

Pics!!

Jas and i in our cubicle..took alot of such photos cos we had nth to do last week.. :)

2008-06-27T21:48:00.006+08:00

Work @ Ngee Ann Primary has officially ended for me. :) This is after 6 months of work, 6 months of waking up early everyday. I'm glad that the teachers there are quite nice although i'm pissed at some ppl or rather 1 person..

I started off as an LMA - teachers' assistant. So, i had to help teachers prepare ws, photocopy, babysit classes etc etc. Brainless but tiring job when all the work come one aft another. But i'm glad to have sharon, tianqi and jasmine there too. So, we basically talked and laughed alot in the very quiet HOD room. haha then i got transferred to the front desk cos they said there were too many LMAs. Reason given was i was more out going. Like total crap lahh. haha

So, I've actually learnt alot during these 6 months, esp the times when i was transferred to be at the front desk. The period of time when i have to pick up phone calls, answer parents who are unreasonable and at the same time frustrated at certain things. They would want to demand to see this and that teacher or vp or p without any appointment. The challenging part was when students and parents started to enter the general office once the school bell rang - some wanted to make phone calls, some parents wanted to find teachers, some students injured.. So, NAPS general office is pratically like a wet market. Very different from other school's office, which is always quiet. So, basically, its tough handling the ppl.. And this is added on to the amount of admin work i had to do too - faxing, typing certain stuff, daily attendance recording, opening email, opening letters.... So, sometimes when i was very busy with the admin work and parents and students started coming in, it really irritated me.. I still remember there was a phone call, when the parent started shouting and screaming so loudly that ppl in the surrounding could clearly hear the scream. And the reason for it is that she claimed that someone put down the phone when she called, which we obvoiusly did not do so. So, yup, i had to deal with all sort of ppl. But i'm sure this is a good experience for me and i'll certainly know how to deal with all sort of ppl in the future :)

So, Jasmine and i went to find sharon and tianqi after work. Had swenson for dinner, plus ice-cream. it had been a longg time since i had such a filling meal. haha. met alot of ppl in parkway. and it seemed that they are all alrdy enjoying their well-deserved holidays and yst was the start of my holidays only. Work has made me seem so sua ku.. like i didn't know there is the mango sales and i had to also ask sharon like where else got sales... haha cos she has been doing alot of shopping lately. hee.. BUT i have to contain my urge for shopping cos of the taiwan trip.. and i needed sharon and tianqi's help to prevent me from going into the mango shop.. ahah.

Plus i have jasmine who made sure that i dun eat that much so that i can eat more in taiwan.. (i told her to remind me to dun eat when i have sudden cravings out of no where) so when i felt like eating nuggets at work at 10 plus, jas was like saying, tahan abit, going to lunch time.. haha..

One of my colleague once commented that i was noisy in the hod room but like super sian at the general office. yea. cos there is the p and vp there. plus the ppl there are sort of at a different frequency from me, thou there is also one who is of almost the same age as me.Nevertheless,the general office ppl were very nice to me. Like Rachel and Pat, who gave me things when i was abt to leave and they thanked me for my help. haha. But i'm being paid to do so... lol

I am so glad that Tianqi is back safe and sound.Her courage to go japan alone is sth that i admire. She has indeed stepped out of her own comfort zone. :)

I want to upload photos that we took at work and all..but blogger seems to have a technical prob at the uploading of pic part..=.=

@ work

2008-06-26T15:22:00.003+08:00

Ahhhhhhhh. I'm super BORED now!! There is nothing for us to do and there is still 1 more hr till i end work, 1 more day till i seriously stop working and 5 more days to Taipei. Oh, i so love counting down. :D

*Jasmine nods her head in agreement.*

So, now jasmine and i are taking turns to blog and searched for videos on youtube.. We just saw a film made by TJcians for the TA open house.. Its quite well filmed i should say and Mr. Sim is very funny in it.. hee :) Oh oh, and Mr. Hsu appeared briefly in it too.. haha. Go watch it. :p

And i've gained weight. I have not been exercising. =.=

But i should seriously stop complaining cos its not as if I'm in some disaster struck area. There are soo many out there who are much more pitiful than I am.. Shoo, cherie!!

I miss Tj all of the sudden. I dun want to be stuck here doing nth.. I want to study! :P

work

2008-06-25T22:11:00.003+08:00

Today was quite slack at work. Other than laminating 9 pieces of certs and giving the newspapers out to class, we basically did nothing. So, we were chatting, gossiping, surfing the net etc etc.. and were rather loud. Wonder wad would others think.. haha. But anyway, its THE SCHOOL itself who wants us to come back. So, they shouldn't complain about us even if we have got nth to do! Jasmine was rather happy that we dun have to do much and yet collect pay. But i would rather keep myself busy... Give me some work to do!! :)

Trip to NTU

2008-06-24T22:21:00.004+08:00

Spent 1.5 hr travelling to NTU for my medical checkup today. Met Qianyu for lunch first before going there. The school is freaking big and the map that they sent us didn't really help. We met 2 other girls on the bus, so we went to the medical centre together after searching for a while. So, x ray, urine test, eye checkup, measuring of blood pressure etc etc were done. Obtaining the urine for the test was quite disgusting and we girls kept asking one another how to do it.. haha.. Asked ard how to get to the student service centre but their instructions didn't really help. So, we spent quite a while finding the place, jux to hand in the FTL and Giro forms.

Met Xue li there too! Was talking to her and i realised that she is also going to Taipei with her friend. So, it seems that Taipei is quite a good place to go to with friends. (alot of ppl are doing so) haha. So apparently she is going on the 7th, the day when we return to s'pore! And our itinerary is about the same.. So it seems like popular places to go are: ferris wheel, dan shui, ding tai fung, xmd, shilin night market, wu fen pu, jiu fen.. And she was telling me that she's going to the place where san cai and dao ming shi (in meteor garden) sat in the car to eat ice-cream. haha. And the school where they filmed the movie "secret". So, basically we jux exchanged information on places to go in Taipei.

So, its confirmed that i'm staying with wenxin at the hostel. Just submited my application form today. :) And my dad will be passing me his laptop so that i can use in uni while he will be getting another. Well, i dun mind althou its 1 yr old cos its quite good a brand - sony vaio, but not those pretty , colourful ones. Its plain black and sleek. :) But there are still many things that are yet to be done - collection of cert frm TJ, going to the bank and i must do all these before i go to taiwan! (i can't find any time this week to do so cos i'm still working! Rahh!) Maybe i should ask my bro to collect the cert for me on my behalf since he will be going there for track trainings. haha.Plain lazy of me :p

2008-06-23T15:26:00.002+08:00

I'm blogging from work :) So yup, NAPS has asked me to work for another 1 week and since they have hired another admin staff, I am now working as LMA. So it seems that they like to transfer people here and there. Luckily, my level of tolerance is quite high.. I'm able to tolerate such stuff.. hee.

But I'm quite pissed off with SOMEONE at work. Someone who is lack of organisation skills, someone who loves to shift the blame to others. So that someone apparently asked students to come to school to use the computer for their e-learning session since they do not have internet access at home. So, the timing given was super fantastic: Anytime during the holidays, so long as not too late. So i assumed that they were free to look after the students and all. But when students started to come in, he told me that he's busy and even got the nerve to tell me that its the students themselves who wanted to come. None of his business.. ?!?! Gosh, can't believe such irresponsible ppl actually exist. So, he asked me to tell them to wait outside. When i probed further, like wait till what time and all, he answered "dunno "in an irritated tone. Worst still, he asked them to wait till 2 and at 2 he went off for lunch. Like totally irresponsible. And we, at the front desk had to handle those parents that complained and all.. I can go on and on about it and say the 1 million or 1 billion or infinity bad points about him, but i shall stop. I'm sure tianqi, sharon and jasmine can add on to the bad points of this person.

Okay. Enough of that. It seems that no one knows that i'm back as an LMA.. Thats why i have little work to do.. haha.. And since it had been a long time since i last blogged, i made use of this time to do so. :)

Updates on my life:

#1 I failed my driving test. Yea, due to my carelessness and of cos partly bcos of the weird tester who asked me to turn at a weird place, which i have never turned before in the circuit. So, yes, i immediate failure as i didn't give way to on coming vehicle. Quite a stupid mistake i should say. oh well, i've to make sure it doesn't happen again. My instructor and the warm up instructor was quite shocked that i didn't pass. So, i guess due to the great hopes that was placed on me, i should say i was rather disappointed over the test results.

#2 Lots of uni applications yet to be done and i have to do so by this week before i leave for taiwan. So, i guess its much confirmed that i'll be staying with Wenxin in the hostel. Shall try it out for 1 yr.. Time to be independent for once.. :)

kbox plus IT show

2008-06-15T01:29:00.002+08:00

Ate bread for all my meals tdy. Had subway for lunch, BK for dinner, Toastbox for supper. hee.

Went to kbox @ suntec with shi ying tdy. It has been a while since i've last been to kbox! And we sang 4.5 hrs non-stop! hee. Met liting there. She was working there and bcos of her, we get to extend the hours. If not we can only sing for 3 hrs. :)

Then we went to the pc show. Saw limin buying a notebook there, with her mum. And then went to Cannon booth to find Shi Fang and Daphne.. haha. They looked super professional. hee.

The IT show had so many ppl that we have to wait for our turn for at least 1.5hrs jux to sign up for the starhub broadband, which gives a free hp laptop.. Not me who wanted to sign up.. I was only accompanying shi ying..

Then after that went to join my family who was also at the pc show.. My dad was looking at the laptops as he wanted to buy 1 for me to bring to uni.. And super embarassing lah. He went to the sony Vaio to see..Then he lifted up the laptop (the super small 1) and then banged it on the table, saying that no matter how hard we bang it, it is still very strong and hardy.. or wadever lah. forgot the actual term for it. (cos he owns one himself and finds that its quite good esp when travelling overseas as he has to put it in the luggage..) So the salespeople all stared at him, suprised and a little amused at what he was doing.. haha.. They even said that it can be their new gimmic tomorrow to entice ppl to buy.. dots.. my father did the banging action not juz once, but a few times. haiz. thats my dad..

Friday the 13th

2008-06-13T23:03:00.005+08:00

I screwed up my revision lesson today and my instructor freaked out. And he blamed it on Friday the 13th. (cos all his students screwed up everything tdy - all the EXCELLENT AND SURE PASS ONE students. hee. abit bhb.. :p)

But although its friday the 13th, i was quite lucky cos i was supposed to get a Ferre Trolley travel bag for free but as it was out of stock, they gave me a Samsonite one. :) A brand that my dad has been eyeing on..

Went to the IT show and saw daphne there working! haha. My mum saw her and commented that she looked very active and hyper. A pity that i didn't get to see ang shi fang. :p The IT show attracted a super huge crowd.. Cos usually suntec would be very quiet and the number of carpark lots available will be like in 1000s. It was hard to find parking today.. haha. But i'm still not a fan of IT show.. Like see those IT stuff aso no money to buy..

(I'm packed for the next 2-3 weeks. No more idiling at home. Meet-ups, work, driving, Taiwan trip.. )

I love this pic:

Exercise to keep fit.. (yes i should start doing so..)

Bangkok

2008-06-12T18:15:00.007+08:00

BACK from Bangkok. :)

Rather siann at bangkok cos it was the same as last time. Nth new at all.. Always MBK, Siam centre, food, some temples, foot reflexology, shopping, night market.. Except for lesser Sigaporeans and more Indians and Ang Mohs.. Really, there is an increase in number of Indians and Ang Mohs. Wonder where do Singaporeans go to nowadays.. hmm. But then at least there is a chance to go overseas. Better than not going and i'm thankful for that :)

Stayed at hotel that we had 3 nights free cos of some membership that my dad have. But the hotel was one of the worse that i have stayed - Small lobby, corridor is not air-conditioned, not carppeted at the tv area, only the bed area, a weid smell when we went in, no free breakfast, have to pay but at half the price.. Walao. All these for $100 plus one nite.. Asking ard, I realised that other hotels which are sooo much better, cost ard the same price, or even cheaper!! We wanted to change the hotel to somewhere which is of a similar price.. but then my dad's friend straight away made enquiry to a hotel which cost $300 plus a night.. And my dad came up with an excuse saying that this hotel is convenient. We can't possibly change to another hotel since we rejected my dad's fren's offer. So, we had to stay put in that hotel.. But that hotel is really convenient.. near to the MTR station and a shopping place.

So, for 2 days, my dad and my bro went to play golf with a few friends.. So, my mum, sis and i had to go round bangkok ourselves - in jux a day.. we bought alot of things.. Shoes, bags, hair accessories, clothes.. Since alot of things are going at 199, i bought 3 pairs of shoes and a few basg. haha.. And since they sell all similar stuff everywhere, it seems like we have done our shopping in bangkok alrdy. So, when my dad and bro finish their golf session, we had to go to those places that we have been to again, cos they wanted to buy some stuff too..

As usual, we had dinner with my dad's friends and of cos dinner was gooddd.. haha. A claypot of sharkfin for each person, tom yum soup with lobster, lobster, fish and more fish, beijing duck, minced duck etc etc. Then another dinner was seafood.. wahh. I can feel my waistline expanding can. My dad's friend is like super rich that's why the hotel he wanted to book was also very expensive.. haha. And upon knowing that i'm going to taiwan, he asked if i want him to treat us to dinner.. (his a taiwanese who shuffles between Thailand and Taiwan) haha. I guess this is how rich people behave. He sld have given me the money instead of dinner and i can buy a branded bag :P

I wanted to buy some branded stuff.. like u noe, esprite those kind and tot that it will be cheaper there. But then, all the branded things in bangkok are more expensive than in Singapore. I wonder why. =.= lol.

We also took a boat and wanted to go to bangkok palace. But it was closed on that day (cos the king was visiting). So, a tourist police whom we met while walking told us to go to another place, which is only opened once a year.. It is the place where all the ashes of the royal family are being placed. So, we are quite lucky in a sense to meet the police cos little tourist know about it. We also saw the ceremony of a guy becoming a monk. An eye-opener I should say. hee :)

And, I wonder how the people in the Thai airport do things.. Cos when we collected our luggage, we realised that the lock for one of the bags is not there anymore. Dun tell me the airplane underwent some turbulance and the lock gt forced open arh.. where got so easy come off one.. Mayb they checked our luggage. But they are not supposed to! Plus we found a pouch that has lipstick, thermometer, scissors in my dad's golf bag.. Dun tell me they tot it was their bag and put it there in the last minute.. Cos it is a GOLF BAG. Not many people or rather none brought golf bag to thailand other than us (from wad i have observed). Luckily nothing was lost frm our luggauge.. o.o

I have this feeling that this is the last trip to Thailand. Its the same as Msia. In the past, we used to keep going to Msia.. Once every year. Then we stopped going there (It has been a few years since we last gone to KL or genting cos we find it siann) and we kept going to Thailand. Now, we find Thailand to be boring, so i guess we may stop going there for holidays.

Departure day

2008-06-06T14:42:00.002+08:00

Jux finished packing my bag. All in 15 mins! ha! pro huh? I realised i'm always doing things the last min.lol

Bangkok, here i come.. haha

See all of u in 6 days time. :)

Eating and eating

2008-06-05T23:06:00.003+08:00

I'm eating alot!! 0.0

Today:

- woke up just i time for lunch
-went for driving (my instructor was like telling me to go whichever way i want. cos we are practically jux driving around)
-Mummy came to fetch me after driving and we thought that we will straight away go fetch my bro who was having track training at tj
-Waited for 1.5 hrs for him to come out cos we didn't noe that his training session would end late
-Went to the hawker centre opp school.. wanted to jux have a drink but ended up eating fried kuay teow, pig organ soup, sugar cane (It was at 4 plus, 5.)
-When my bro finally came out, we went to century square to modify the psp.. ($30 jux to unscrew cetain parts. )
-Then dinner again (@ard 7 p.m.) @ Billy Bombers. lol. Think the nicest was the BEN & JERRY ice cream -dessert for the set meal. - of cos i shared with my mum 2 main course.. so it was quite alot too!

So the main point is that i'm spending my holz eating and eating without exercising! Hmm.Maybe i can go running with my bro since he needs to train hard.. His nationals is in like july and he trains super little (he jux keeps poning lah)

quick updates

2008-06-04T20:38:00.003+08:00

Quick updates on my life:
#1 Mummy bought PSP for us. Her reason for doing so is that everyone in my father's side is having it. How can we not own one then? haha. Okay. Apart from that, my brother also promised her that he will study hard. (Like real) So i gain from it too! haha (Although i'm not really into these type of games. heh!)
#2 Bought for my brother sth (cos i promised him a present since i'm working now) haha. Cost a bomb i tell u. Don't know if the underwears are made of gold or wad.. So expensive.. More than $200 for only 5 underwears.
#3 Stopped shopping in singapore despite the sales. I'm sure bangkok will be far cheaper.
#4 Eating alot and not doing any exercises. Boo!

Bored

2008-06-02T23:00:00.004+08:00

I must cut down on the shoppings in Singapore! I really dislike squeezing with the crowd. Not to mention that particular incident (in the previous post), which pissed me off.. I'm sure i can find cheaper stuff overseas. :) To woan yun and daphne (wy especially): Start saving now! We are going to buy back the whole of Taipei.. hee!

Driving as usual today. Both my instructor and I were quite tired.. So we started playing music throughout the lesson. haha. And my insturctor was super high - he started singing. lol.

I'm bored.. Luckily there is an overseas trip to look forward to during the June holiday. :D

weekends

2008-06-02T13:21:00.003+08:00

Yesterday

Watched Chronicles of Narnia- Prince Caspian yesterday @ suntec eng wah. Although i'm not really a fan of this type of movie, I quite enjoyed the movie yesterday :) Quite good i would say.. The movie was quite long - 2.5 hrs, so it was alrdy 12 a.m. when it finished.. Suntec is quite creepy at night. :s

Saturday

Went to mind's cafe at night. Really shouted till my voice was a little hoarse at the end of the session.. It was when i was completely awake.. (Cos i was feeling very very sleepy and was stoning when we were shopping for stuff) So, it also shows that i am more awake in the night than in the afternoon.. 0.0 We also ate the bak kut teh at bugis (first time eating with friends) but it wasn't that nice. Quite different from last time when my dad brought me there to eat... Same place, same store, but differnet taste.. lol.
And I was happily discussing with the rest about the plans for this coming Sat.. then i realised that I will not be in singapore then !! ahh.. haha. Well, hope that they have fun without me. I know its a little difficult to do so, but try k? haha :p

Having driving lesson later. Having heard some of daphne's and si hui's complaints, I feel quite lucky that my lessons have been smooth sailing all these while.. Didn't encounter problems like having to wait long for test dates etc :)

driving

2008-05-30T17:35:00.004+08:00

I've finally finished learning all my driving modules. All in 15 lessons. So, I basically have 7 revision lessons to go, since i've booked 22 lessons in advance right till my test day. My instructor was like asking me to cancel 2 lessons and i will since 2 lessons = $120. :) My mum was commenting that why is it that i am ending my lessons earlier and earlier each time.. haha. cos seriously aft learning parallel parking and trying it for quite a few times, I've got like close to 45 mins to spare. So my instructor took me to recap on other things and still we have 15 mins to spare. So, i was let off 15 mins earlier.. :s lol. And we really crapped alot.. cos we were just driving round..

And I'm going to boycott topshop sooner or later. Cos i bought 2 top a few days back and it was alrdy at a discounted price.. (since its the GSS) Frm $36 to $21. So i thought it was a good buy and bought it readily.. AND yesterday, i was at topshop again and saw the same top going at $13. Different outlet though. BUT.. they give more discount again, jux aft a few days. Walao. Heart pain. I could have saved $8 more. :s

I just clicked the submit button for the uni application. Took quite a while b4 i could have the courage to click the button.. Like wy and mingwei say.. Just accept and dun think too much.. haha So, NTU here i come :)

You must be wondering how i came to this conclusion.. haha. well, it is based on my inner feelings that i'll do well in ntu in these 3 yrs.. I just got this feeling. (my feelings are very accurate okay!) :)

:)

2008-05-29T22:59:00.003+08:00

Had driving lesson today.. Was talking to the instructor and realised that the school pays them peanuts for the number of hrs they work.. Seriously, its the same as admin job (for those temp staff). Walao.. The school really profits alot.. Plus profiting frm private instructors who have to pay each time they use the circuit (counting by the hr). Imagine a man working there as an insturctor.. with the little amount of money that they take home... how to survive? how to start a family and all? Oh well, they may say that it is their interest to work with cars, but they have to be more pratical at times..

My mum and i were dicussing about what job is appropriate for me when i graduate.. haha. Then i told her that i'll not set up my own business (ironically, i'm studying business!) Guess i'll prefer it when lots of money enter my pockets every month (Its good to earn like $10 000 plus a month.) and not worry if more money is needed to put into the business venture, although i noe that i'll earn big bucks if the biz is successful. okay.. i'm starting to dream.. haha

I overheard my dad talking to one of his business associate on the phone just now (okay.. i noe its wrong of me to do so.. :p) and this is the first time i found out more about office backstabbing and all.. It seems that there is a spy in the company. Gasp! But i think its quite common in the working world.. and i've to learn how to deal with it in future.. So apparently, the other company which is a MNC know about my dad's plans.. okay.. A fight between a SME and MNC.. lol. But, seriously, i've got great faith in my dad.. He will get the ultimate victory. Think positively. :)

random as usual :)

2008-05-28T17:59:00.002+08:00

My English is getting atrocious.. I've not been reading alot lately.. Just glancing at the headlines in the newspapers everyday. Oh no.. this is the result of not going to school for 6 months! Plus work didn't really help it cos basically we are doing filing and all.. u noe basically office work, which don't require alot of writing.. I guess my brain cells are begining to degenerate slowly. I don't think i can think as quickly as b4.. :p

Overheard a boy talking to his father over the phone today.. Boy," Dad, what take you so long. Have you been deceiving me and watching TV all these while?" Gosh, he's only p2 and he uses words like deceiving.. Guess many of us will use the word lie or bluff.. haha.

I'm like going for driving lesson everyday.. cos had to finish up in time for my exam.. My instructor is super funny and good.. making the lessons even more enjoyable :) And it seems that the alot of ppl are learning driving as i meet at least 1 person whom i noe, each time i go for my lesson.. lol

start of june holiday..

2008-05-26T15:00:00.002+08:00

At 9 plus in the morning today, i was awoken by a phone call. Then, the bombshell hit me. I have to go back to work tomorrow and the day after!! Ahh.. Its bcos they only have 1 ppl working on these few days, with Rachel taking leave and all.. They don't have to call me so early in the morning just to tell me that right. Anyway, i negotiated with them and they allow me to take half day for these two days.. Reason: Driving lesson. heh! Counting how many more days do i have to work (since i have promised them alrdy) - 10 more days!! It seems that they keep asking me to go back to work. So i will keep to my stand after these 10 days and say no! to wadever request they make, even if they give me a pay rise (as if they will, since they are so stingy pok pok. haha) So just to comfort myself since i thought right frm the start that i can end my work in May.. I keep telling myself that there will be 1 month of break and slacking for me in July.. and maybe will be so bored then that i want to find work to do! And my mum was saying that don't say u loathe work so that in future more work opportunities will come to you! (haha. she has been reading alot of those self-help books which teach her to think positively.)

Watched What happened in Vegas yesterday. Ratings: 3 star. Its the usual plot.. Guy and girl hated each other at first then while they got back at each other, they realised that they were in love with each other. Then, they live happily ever after. There was a girl at the back of me who laughed so loudly during the show.. haha. could tell that she was feeling rather excited over certain parts (her laughter tells me that). cos the show has some sexual content. so u noe what i mean o.o

Seeing my sis studying so hard for her o'level really got me thinking if i studied as dillgently as her during my o's / A's.. She could wake up at 9am, study till lunch.. continue.. break for 5 - 10 mins in between, after dinner, continue again and will stop at 1 am.... All in the room.. no music, no tv, no distrations.. wow. haha. i wasn't like that in the past.. I would wake up at 10 plus, studied for a while, had lunch, then sat at the couch in front of the tv, switched on the tv (with a book) then i would dooze off in the middle.. woke up 2 hrs later and studied a little before i had my dinner. After dinner, would be the same.. turning on the tv, watching show and reading at the same time. The only time that i really sat down to study at my table will be at 10p.m. (when there is no more show to watch) but of cos, with the radio on.. I would tune in to 98.7 Fm, listened to Muttons at midnight.. laughing at their jokes and listening to the music as i studied.. It would be till 2 plus 3 b4 i went back to sleep. Haha. see the total difference! No wonder my dad keeps commenting that i would have fared better in my exam if i really sat down and focused on my studies.

NBS, it shall be.
No regrets. I shall make uni life a beautiful experience. :)

2008-05-24T17:33:00.021+08:00

As i browse through some of my pictures in my laptop, i just realised how time has passed.. Seeing those pictures really brought back fond memories. The times when we went to sentosa tgt, kayaking, kboxing, pw and of cos alot of teasing. but not to forget, we mugged together and faced the a-levels together. (= And surprisingly, all the photos in my laptop are those that are taken with my JC friends.. Okay. Its photo sharing time.

This was taken when our class was doing CIP to help out at the some National Day celebration (we looked so young then!)

I had my first 2 M'sian friends - wenxin and lihong and 2nd indon friend - Andy..

Not to forget another msian whom i have made friends with-- Alia!

Oh! How i miss the times when we mugged at KFC, Mac, BK and then spent most of our time gossiping!

And of cos the 3 other special girls that appeared in my JC life.. JC life wouldn't be fun without u 3 - Shi fang(my going home kahki) , woan yun (my eat and walk very slow partner plus shopping kahki) and wenxin (my lab partner)..

And not to forget pw..
SCRAB - made up of Soo Hui, me, ridwan, any and bing xiong.. Funny how we came up with this name.. And of cos we had fun doing pw..

Still remember ridwan would prank call me.. like singing on the phone etc etc. Bx telling us lame jokes and his famous action of pointing at the wall and tell us to knock into it cos the joke was way too cold.. Us mimicking Andy on the way he gave his starting speech for OP.

And then we have this quite big clique in our class:

Will always rmb the times when we ate in the canteen during lunch and joined all the tables together so that we can sit as a group :p

And how we loved making fun of sk and his curly hair:

And bernard & Rahman (who are always quite innocent..Its a joy having them in the physics discussion grp :) )

Plus the 11 girls in 16/06 (or rather 12! ):

Claire being the first friend whom i talked to in TJ,

Sometimes ate with soo hui, si hui, liting, alia, claire, qianyu.. (when i didn't want to eat the school food and the rest wanted to)

Studying with them again at times in the library (cos its too stressful to be with the rest. lol)

And i can't believe that i have this picture in my com! I swear that i didn't take this photo and edit it.. Rmb when we made fun of woan yun and denis being tgt in the beginning of yr 2006.. lol and after that saying how zoe and denis will get married outside 7-11.. cos we always see them dating there :pDots. Funny lah.. we loved teasing sf, bx, si hui, samuel, justin, wenxin, woan yun, lihong... lol

And the kbox session that only sf, daphne, soo hui and i would go..

2 other guys in our class - bel and imran.. and how i loathed it when bel kept commenting on the small amount of white hair i had. lol

Somemore pics taken in LT1 (Gosh. There is a huge difference b4 army and during army.. haha)

Mrs Than and Mr. Foo:

2 teachers who can really teach.. And i will not forget the day when mr. foo stared at me in misbelief when i did my QA. haha. something almost caught fire and he and Mr. low stared at me (it was SPA at that time) . haha. And Mrs Than who was ever so worried abt my econs marks..

And of cos other teachers.. Mrs. Toh (who pulled my sleeve during phy pratical cos i did sth wrongly.. haha. soo hui and i were always very scared of phy spa), Mr.Lee (who pointed to the lowest math marks on the list and asked if i was the one who scored that, when i asked for my marks), Mr. Fazli, Mr. Hsu, Mr. Ng (who spit saliver everywhere), Chen Lao shi (always concerning abt us when we saw him in school even tough he did not teach us chinese anymore), Mdm Jiang Hui (taught us for the first 3 mths and when we ponned chinese, she thought that i didn't pon and asked me to returnt o my seat while she demanded an explanation frm the rest. But of cos i guai guai went to own up :p )..

Okay.. I have alot alot more pics but its impossible to put everything up here.. So roughly. this is 16/06 for u :)

As u can see, i'm super bored at home. That's why i have the time to sort out these pic :)

Mardi Gras (2)

2008-05-24T16:32:00.014+08:00

Surprise, Surprise! In the end, yesterday wasn't my last day at NAPS. Have to go back on the last two weeks of June as they forsee that they will need manpower on those days. I was also asked to come back next week.. but then i rejected them and said I had to learn driving. So, I asked them to ask the other temp staff to go back and they were like dun nid help then.. dots. Okay, wadever. On a positive note, I can make more money b4 going to Taiwan.. :p

Okay, went back to school yesterday for Mardi Gras, with jas and sf. Didn't pay for the tix as we went there at 5 p.m. . So hung around in school before the event started and talked to Mrs Than, Mr. Foo, Mr. Fazli and Mr. Hsu (which i cleverly forgot his surname the day b4). Chatted wih Mr. Hsu and he was still harping on my GP results and that he is disappointed with my results. Saying that he expected a B or an A.. Its just that sometimes a day b4 the exam u will get this feeling that u wouln't do well (due to fatigue etc etc) So yea, I was quite disppointed with it too but had finally gotten over it. So was asking ard for opinions on which uni to go to. So, Mrs Than said NUS...Mr. Fazli said SMU and Mr. Hsu said SMU and then he said NTU. Rubbish lah.. But had fun suaning Mr.Hsu. So now its still undecided to which uni i sld go to.. Someone help! Left 1 week only to the closing date.

Enough of that.. So Mardi Gras started off with some ppl riding motorcycles (except for it will be better if they are those young ones cos all they hired were slightly older.) lol. Saw Mrs Than in her costume.. Really looked like a princess (as usual). A pity that we didn't get to see Mr. Foo in his costume.

Mrs Than looked like snow white :)

I still remember 2 yrs ago when we set up a face painting booth and didn't get to enjoy Mardi Gras.. So the performances were quite enjoyable yst and i esp loved the segment when the teachers sang :p We also saw many ex tjcian and some juniors. It was really heart warming and i miss school all of the sudden. Hope uni will be as fun (=

Had a very late dinner (ard 10 p.m.) cos we went in early to get free admission.. Crap.. didn't get to eat the japanese food opp school cos it was too late..

So, I got home at ard 11.20 p.m. and saw my neighbour on my way back. It has been some time since i last talked to him. (since last yr? haha.. okay pathetic. ) cos he is in army and all..

Okay.. I have a sudden urge to go to kbox.. Any takers? :)

Mardi Gras

2008-05-24T00:21:00.001+08:00

Just came back frm Mardi Gras. Super tired and sweat alot jux now.. haha. Shall blog more tmr :)

off-day

2008-05-22T18:58:00.003+08:00

Today was my off-day and coincidentally my bro n sis didn't have school too. So we went to have bak kut teh at Racecourse road.. It is supposed to be very delicious. Like all the famous ppl go there to eat. But then it wasn't as nice as i thought it would be.. o.o So guess we will still be sticking to the one at PSA (Did i mention that my family loves to eat bak kut teh.. haha. we used to have it everyweek but now, we cut it down to once every two week :p )

Okay. Went for driving lesson today. Drove at the test routes. And it was quite boring to drive the same old place.. with lots of cars and drivers who do not want to give way. And i was taught how to do the emergency break today. So when my instructor tapped the board all of the sudden, I was supposed to brake immediately and push my body backwards.. Okay.. I did jux that but with the screamings added to it. So my instructor stared at me and with his eyes wide open. Lol. Natural reaction.

Tmr is supposedly to be my last day at NAPS, but not so sure if it will be..

o.o

2008-05-19T15:36:00.003+08:00

Went to SMU tea session on Sat. Gosh. Everyone was like going for some kind of fashion parade.. And the prof kept comparing SMU with NTU and NUS and i personally feel that their speeches were nothing amazing.. They were just using statistics after statistics to entice people to join. even students themselves weren't talking that fantastically.. (so much for focussing on class participation so that everyone is out spoken.. ) What's more, heard that it is becoming a mini NUS.. and ppl really compete to earn class participation points. Okay.. Think the only good thing abt it is that it is near my house- 20 to 30 min bus ride..

Met ppl frm 16 oh 6 for lunch on Sun. And i must say that meal was one of the cheapest meal i had.. haha, cos i ordered only a sandwhich.. Then ate the Mango ice frm HK cafe again. It was super nice..

I jux realised that everytime we go on an outing, we will just have lunch/dinner together. It seems that there is nth much to do in SG. We can't also go shopping with the guys ard.. And their idea of shopping is buying MP3 etc... (Me: Lets go shopping.. Justin: I want to buy an MP3 . ) Dots. What other things can we do, other than watching movie, eat and shop in singapore. lol.

And i just realised that shops are super stingy to the amt of discounts they are giving during the great singapore sales.. almost all shops give like 20%.. more discounts for those ugly items.. Wads the point of having the GSS when sohps have been giving similar discounts throughout the year.. dots.

Okay. A random question jux came to my mind, so pardon me for my ignorance. Like frm the day that 1 is born.. how do we noe that that person is destined to use his or her left or right hand to write.. If we do not know.. then does it mean that the person who teaches u how to write is the one who determines it.. like if frm young u are trained to write using ur right the that means u are a right hander rite? So if this is the case, why is there still left handers? o.o haha. okay. totally random :)

busy day

2008-05-16T21:02:00.007+08:00

I had a super duper busy day at work today. Lots of answering of phone calls, lots of interruption that caused me not to finish up my work quickly. So sometimes how i wish i could pull out the plug to the phones cos the phone calls are quite irritating. The phone kept ringing.. one call after another. Some asking questions that they should have alrdy known.. Those ppl who called were really demanding.. demanded to immediately speak to whoever they want to find.. Like they want means they want arh. The teachers also have their own schedule.. Sometimes the phone started ringing early in the morning... Like real early, ard 7.45.. Plus not to mention walk in customers who also demanded to see certain ppl even without an appointment.. not even knowing if the other party is free or not.. Gosh.. talking about unreasonable ppl and it happens almost everyday!

But my colleagues are quite nice. Like one treated me to lunch tdy.. It was like a total surprise cos she jux walked pass.. then passed the money to the auntie selling malay food.. Cos she spoke to the auntie in Malay and before i knew it, she passed the money to the auntie. I was like huh.. wads going on.. haha..

Yesterday's driving lesson was quite good. haha. I'm begining to be more confident in driving.. Except for the first 5 to 10 mins when i first set off.. I was like oh shittt.. then slammed the bakes.. cos i haven't been driving for 2 wks. lol

3 more working days. Its the long weekends again :)

Sld i take up a job recommended by one of the teachers after i end my work at NAPS.. $1500 for a 5 day week.. normal office hr.. plus lesser workload then this present 1.. or $400 for 5 sundays as facilitator... hmm. the facilitator 1 sounds good. cos i get to slack for some days and yet earn some money. haha.

meeting up :)

2008-05-14T20:54:00.004+08:00

Met up with Pong Joo tdy for dinner at Plaza Sing :) Its amazing that our friendship of 7 yrs managed to last although both of us are very busy with our own thing. We chatted like nobody's business.. frm school, guys, other frens, overseas experience to facial treatment to.. haha uncountable.

seven years of friendship and still counting :)

I was talking to some of the teachers during lunch tdy and we talked abt marriage (like not missing the boat) cos some of them missed once n then find it hard to find another partner.. So they were like saying dun miss it.. haha then we talked abt career.. I had a great insight into some of their careers that they had before they became a teacher. I used to think that the teaching career is a tough job and not recommended.. But while talking to them about their previous jobs (like working in hotels and all), i realised that the teaching path is better than all those jobs. Like one of them studied tourism and when they went to work they started off as chamber maids and all.. This is despite them having a diploma.. So they had to clean dirty things in the room (like really disgusting stuff).. So comparing being a teacher and working as all those, its quite a blessing to be able to work as a teacher.. My immediate response to it was " wah. Being a teacher is soooo much better! " But of cos being a teacher is not my cup of tea.. But comparing it with jobs like those type.. it is much better :)

Having driving lesson tmr.. Gosh it has been quite a while since i have touched that steering wheel..

random

2008-05-13T22:19:00.000+08:00

I met a nice taxi driver tdy. I was jay walking as usual at the main road (oops) and jux when i crossed half of the road, i could see frm afar a whole lot of cars.. so the taxi driver who was first in line slowed down for me to cross quickly b4 i get stranded in the middle of the road :) Okay. Totally random..

(:

New template

2008-05-12T18:39:00.000+08:00

Changed my template tdy cos i was utterly bored at home.. Hope ppl like daphne will find it easier to navigate this blog :)

And my sis was asking me some phy qns and was struggling with it for a while as i have pratically forgotten everything.. But still managed to solve it in the end :D I still rmb when i was struggling with phy or maths or chem, I had no one to turn to for help at home.. Have to constantly solve them by myself. So I have always wanted an elder sibling so that like wad my sis is doing now, I can ask for help. haha. Its like this being the eldest in the family.. My siblings expect me to be able to know everything since i have gone tru it before.. haha. so quite embarrassing if i do not know! :p (cos its not as if i'm super clever or anything wad!)

off day

2008-05-12T16:14:00.000+08:00

It has been a long long time since I have the chance to wake up late on a weekday.. All bcos of work and work and more work.. which requires me to wake up at 6 plus everyday!! Why should we work so hard now when we jolly well noe that we will have to work non-stop once we graduate!

Went to T3 with my mum and bro tdy for lunch after sending my dad off for his business trip as usual.. (I really hope i can be like my dad in future and get to travel every now and then:P) Bought lots of chocolates frm candy empire. haha. Growing fat :( Daphne's weighing machine only made me feel depressed.. haha

Okay, so yesterday was mother's day.. My siblings and I treated the entire family to a buffet dinner at Coca.. Ate alot since it was a buffet, ordering lots of prawns, fish etc. haha. Plus we bought a Guess bag for my mum.. So this mother's day was quite expensive but my mum deserved it... She has been ferrying us to and fro from places, paying for our meals, shopping stuff and all.. So, yea.. to the hippest and coolest mum in the worls, Happy mother's day! (My mum is super hip in my eyes cos she goes kbox with us, singing the latest songs, listen to the lastest popular songs like click five, James blunt, jay chou, wang lihom etc etc, watch tons of movies with us, buy clothes that are young and hip. haha.. )

And woke up quite early yst jux to travel to the other end of singapore to attend NBS tea session.. Managed to ask the Dean all the questions that have been on my mind and should i say the 3 years direct honour seems good.. It can really save some time and mayb i can go on to master's after that :) Met another Tjcian there and well.. another new friend being made. haha.And i saw Wang nan there.. We were like laughing our heads off when we saw him.. O.O
Oh well, shall go to smu tea session first then make up my mind.. If i really dun like the environment there after the tea session then NTU here i come! (cos out of the 2 or 3 times that i have been to smu.. I dun really like it there.. the strong security and the students there.. )

Okay.. I'm like supper bored now.. I dun want to go back to work tmr..Nooooo.

Counting down.. 7 more working days. :)

whole day out

2008-05-11T00:32:00.000+08:00

Just got home at 12 a.m. sharp after being out for the whole day.. And i'm blogging nw while waiting for my hair to dry..

Okay.. Today's highlights: Cycling, dinner at Cafe Cartel (siglap) and then pigging out at daphne's house.. All to celebrate sam, si hui and bx bday.. Happy Bday to the bdae peeps :)

Met wy, soohui, daph, bx and sam for cycling tdy.. and cycled 27 km, from ECP to changi village and back to ecp again.. in 2 hrs! A great feat for me... And of cos somethings happened while we were cycling.. Like i cycled over a snake which was alive at changi village as I didn't want to swerve and land in the drain.. Then, after a while, i ran over a alrdy flattened rat.. which according to daphne was still alive or sth.. Amazingly, when i told my mum abt it.. she jux said "okayyy" and joked abt the chinese phrase of the snake and the rat... There wasn't any strong reaction frm her.. However, my dad was like "wad?!?".. dots. These reactions were totally unexpected.. Normally, it will be my mum who will be fussing over all these, not my dad..

Then we decided to go to siglap for dinner instead of cityhall.. and while daphne and wy cycled there, the rest of us who was supposed to walk there, decided to cab there. We were jux simply too lazy and tired to walk there :) Dinner was good.. with us eating alot of bread, which was free flow.

After that, we decided to go daphne's house.. and bought alot of chips and ice cream to eat there..

The ice-cream was good and it was the only tub ice cream other than ben's and jerry and the ice cream frm philippines which i found good. haha We were choosing the ice cream by seeing where it is being manufactured.. saying like this is frm xxx country.. no wonder not good and lets try this frm xxx country.. sld be good.. haha (i didn't say which country so as to prevent any uproar over it. lol)

Should i say we went over to daphne's house just to watch tv.. haha.. Okayyy we talked abit and as usual made fun of wx and wy.. and maybe the main purpose is to see daphne's house.. haha..

Okay.. have to wake up early tmr to go for the ntu tea session, although i dun tink i'll find it useful as they will beautify everything.. And happy mother's day mummy :)

long weekend

2008-05-09T23:08:00.000+08:00

The long weekend is here at last! :) haha. One extra day of not having to wake up early and "work" for 9 hrs, which include sitting there, doing nth..
7 more working days to go and i'll have my one mth of break! Was supposed to end work on the 23rd of May but they want me to come back on the last week of june.. Well, I've no complaints as long as i get some break first. Anyway, its good to earn some more cash before I really stop working and wait for uni to start.. But, as usual, being in the workforce has made me realised that such may just be empty talks and they may not want me to come back in the end.. like when they have found a new temp etc etc..

Just watched the movie, Iron Man in the cinema.. It was really gooodd! :)

(:

2008-05-07T21:39:00.000+08:00

It feels so good to jog today, after 5692834 months. Surprisingly, Tianqi went jogging with us too :) Next time, we can go swimming and hit the gym and more jogging when sharon is back!

I'm still in a dilemma regarding which uni to choose from! Someone please enlighten me!

:)

2008-05-04T20:54:00.000+08:00

Nooo.. I think i'm growing taller :S Thats wad everyone told me these few days. haha.

I'm really glad that the sixteen-oh-six clique still get to meet up regularly even after we are all soo busy with our own things and some of them went back to their own countries (in which we tot that we will never see them again.) So yea, its quite good when Andy, Lihong, wen xin and alia come back once in a while and we get to meet up. So our friendship doesn't stop after the 2 yrs of JC life :) And so, we met up with Andy today and really talked for 1554827 hours. haha. We reminisced about the stupid but interesting things that we did during our JC days, like old ah pei and ah mah. But it was fun :) Okay.. More outings next week when we meet for cycling then dinner.

I feel that life is quite meaningless now - going to work everyday, doing things that doesn't require much thinking, going home after work, sleep then wake up the next day and get ready for work. Its like 1, 2 or even 3 months have passed by without me doing anything useful. Tis is quite stupid.. But then again, what useful thing can i do? hmmm..

updates

2008-05-02T20:46:00.000+08:00

Random updates of my life:

#1 13 more working days to go and then i'll et my longg deserved break!

#2 Rather busy at work these few days. Like jux today had to rush a work in like 20 mins and i tink it was done rather sloppily. Oh well.. who ask them to give me work at the last min when i had to leave on the dot to teach. Guess i'll redo it on mon.. jux can't stand the sloppiness..

#3 Earned $60 today in jux 2 hrs.. teaching a class science and it happens to be an easy topic - matters.. haha. super easy to earn :)

#4 8th lesson for driving and i prefer my tis instructor than any others.. For one, he doesn't talk alot of crap during lesson and doesnt ask stupid qns.. Plus he simply looks like a che shen (loosely translated as car god in english) when he drives.

#5 I don't know which uni to choose.. SMU or NTU or NUS business.. All seem the same to me :P

#6 Met my paternal side to celebrate my uncle's bdae on 30th april aft having not met for dunno how many donkey years.. As usual jux went there to eat.. Like nth much to tok to my cousins now.

End of the week

2008-04-25T20:22:00.000+08:00

Today was one of the rare cases whereby a surprise bday "party" was successful. haha. It really caught tianqi unaware! :)

N i passed my FTT tdy :) means i can take my practical test in June. 17 June to be exact. N soon i can start to cruise in my mum's car.. haha. :)

N N 4 more weeks till the end of my contract and after that its 2 months of break for me! wooho. haha, Not that i detest working there.. just that i hate it when i have got nth to do and most of the time it happens. Plus i dun really like the "boss" there.. when they think tt there is alot of things we are not allowed to do just bcos we are temp stuff. even simple things like using the intercom, is not allowed.. Must be done by permanent stuff. What the.. To an outsider, one may feel that there is nt to complain abt.. but plus the tone that is being used and all, it really gets on my nerve.. Plus, there are alot of accusations. I'm alrdy being kind enough by not saying who is it :p

I saw a scene tdy that made me laugh really hard :) A P1 or P2 boy was in the same room as a p6 boy and after an hr or so.. before he left the room, he said to the older boy," I don't friend u. u are a naughty boy!" With that, he carried his heavy school bag and ran out. I found it super amusing and it is really a great example of childhood innocence and their ability to be frank. As we grow older, we are constantly lying or keeping our feelings to ourselves so as not to hurt another person. But children can afford to not think so much abt the consequences and just say wad is on their mind. And when we grow slightly older, in our teens, we also possess a type of innocence.. when we give ppl things with no string attached. I still remember one of the radiographers whom i worked with during my job shadowing told us that we should capture the moment of innocence when we gave them things in appreiation of their guidance. He told us that such are rare in the future when we give our bosses gold watches etc, with a certain motive behind it. I feel that this is quite true.. Its hard to find any innocence when one grows up and enter the workforce.. Cos the harsh reality is that if we are too innocent, we will be easily ousted. This is what i feel about the workforce aft only 4 months plus of working. People may be nice to you on the outside but actually there are alot of bitching and all going on. ha!

I think I may choose smu after all.. due to the convenience of getting there. And it seems that i dun noe any1 who is confirmed going there. "_"

therapy

2008-04-19T00:24:00.000+08:00

I had my retail therapy session with wy jux now.. It feels really good to be able to splurge on clothes etc with the extra cash that i'm making. Wonder how i will survive when i end my work in May and decide to join the unemployed group.
Next up shall be splurging on food with wy.. :)

17/3 :)

2008-04-17T19:03:00.000+08:00

Just had my driving lesson jux nw.. haha. went out to the roads tdy :)
The instructor was super talkative. One thing i dun understand is that when I started msging to wy and a few others aft lesson (while the instructor drove me bac).. the instructor tot that i was msging a guy. Cos he was saying at this age girls msg mostly to guys. Rubbish lahh.. My girlfriends rawkss k? haha. Just find it weird and stupid that some people feel that every1 sld have a boy/girlfriend at this point in time.

Plans for my long awaited holz in june and july.. haha :
1st 2 weeks of june: Learn driving everyday and pass my driving test
3rd week of june: Thailand trip
4th week of june: slack at home and shop
1st week of july: Taiwan trip

Okay i've not planned for the rest. But i guess I'll keep gg out with frens during this period.. esp those who will join the unemployed sector then :)

good news :)

2008-04-16T21:22:00.000+08:00

"Congratulations! We are delighted to offer you admission...."
Woohoo.. A letter of acceptance into SMU's Business Management course!
Just excited cos at least there is 1 uni which has accepted me! This letter came as a pleasant surprise to me cos the interview is very competitive at smu.. But I may or may not accept it cos for one, I am afraid that I'll be not used to the style of learning at SMU. N i'm quite tempted by NTU's direct honours. Well, BUT its near my house! I dun have to travel so far for the 3 or 4 years of my uni life. haha. I think i shall wait n see :)

Work has been rather okay for me. Time seems to pass rather quickly.. See!! Its alrdy thurs tmr.. close to the weekends! N i'm really glad i'm stopping work at end may.. I dun want to spend my time working and then enter uni! Afterall, its super rare to have a longgg break of 6months or so. haha. sld really slack for a while!

gatherings

2008-04-12T23:52:00.000+08:00

I'm dead beat. I've been out for the whole day. Jux came bac.

In the morning, went to bugis with some of the 16 - oh - 6 clique to celebrate wy bday. Well, I'm glad she n her mum like the present. haha. Then took neoprints. Was feeling a little old when we stepped into the neoprint shop. The feeling is jux different as being in the workforce / army for guys has made us become more mature. haha.
I'm aso glad that wen xin is able to come! I rmb feeling so sad when sch ended n wen xin had to go back to JB. In the end, Wenxin keeps coming in to SG. Like keep seeing her. haha. Really glad to be able to maintain such friendships even though we may not be in the same country. haha.

Then went for my family dinner at some restaurant at chinatown. They even have a karaoke system in the room, which has both old n new songs. haha. I only realised today that my mum's side has more than 44 ppl! N i just found out that my cousins have very good vocals! they can really sing like those professional singers! lol. Okay. this gathering has made me know more abt my extended family as i seldom interact with them due to the age gap difference mainly.

My Grandma's bday is next sun. She will be turing 88. wahh. haha. another family gathering again. :)

I'm tired. It seems that the weekends are passing too quickly compared to weekdays. Ha!

sat is here :)

2008-04-11T20:30:00.000+08:00

what the crap. I am only good at the right turn n not the left turn although its only my 2nd lesson.
what the crap. why did my instructor change today. I prefer the first instructor.
what the crap. Bcos of my gp grades, I had to go for an interview at NTU. Travelled for 1.5 hrs for just a 10 min interview, which fortunately turned out to be okay.
what the crap. I have not received any letters from smu when others received it. But they are from other faculties so might be different.
what the crap. 6 more weeks till my contract ends. (its like super ultra longgg)
what the crap. My e-trial is next week and yet I have not studied.

But on a happier note, I'm glad that Sat is here, which means meeting my friends, having dinner with my extended family AND collection of air tix (I noe this sounds dumb but i'm quite excited over the collection) :)

N i really hope someone will soon take over Pearline's place at work. At least there is someone to share the burden with when we meet unreasonable people.

work

2008-04-04T23:02:00.000+08:00

Counting down - 7 more weeks.

I'm sure these few weeks will be of great experience for me, no matter how frustrating it gets at times.

Aftermath of results

2008-03-10T23:34:00.000+08:00

Yes, the A-level results are FINALLY out on 7 March 2008. I'm generally quite satisfied with my results compared to the ABCDE that I got during Prelims. I once thought that my parents will stop nagging if i do well in my A level. BUT the nagging didn't stop. Now they have higher expectation from me.. Every now and then they will throw in suggestions.. like which uni to go to.. which course to take when i'm in year 2 (after i get into business).. Scholarships (and they start throwing in big names like EDB.. CPF etc etc. As if I stand any chance obtaining a scholarship.. with a million out there getting straight A's.) This is even more taxing when my dad, who doesn't really talk much about my results, start to give lots n lots of suggestions.. I guess i must understand how they are feeling right now.. Afterall, I'm the first in the family to be able to get into a local university and they must be feeling rather anxious abt it. haha. typical parents. Oh well. I shall slowly think about my future now. But do i have the time to do so?

AND its ONE WEEK BREAK for me! haha But i have to go back on weds to help out with teh founder's day board. Shall do things as quickly as possible on that day and try to take half day. Afterall, I do not want to be stuck in school till 4.45pm just to do some boards which i feel can also be done quickly when school reopens and there is no need to come back during the holidays. The amount of things which is needed to be pasted is soo little that i do not need 1 day to do so.. contrary to what the vp had said.

Going to kbox together with jasmine tomorrow. Can't wait :)

"_"

2008-02-27T17:41:00.000+08:00

Can the kids please stop calling me Mrs Kwek?!?! Geez.. I seriously doubt their ability to differentiate between ms and mrs! lol.
Boy: Mrs Kwek is hereeeee.. (at the parade square and he ran off before i could even correct him)

The workload is now coming in.. but still managable with so many of us :)

Plus i've finally signed up for driving!!! haha.. Yes.. i noe it contradicted with my previous post.. But it was bcos my mum was asking when do i want to learn.. then i was like tmr tmr go sign up.. N she was like okay.. So.. went to cdc on mon and there were alot ppl queuing.. waited for like 1 hr plus and the man talked for 1 hr plus too.. So i pratically spent like 3 hrs there.. But luckily i managed to find an earlier date for my BTT thanks to the man who helped me. Plus he booked like 10 driving lessons for me in the month of April.. Like so many lahh.. so most probably, I will take my driving test in June (according to him). That's fast considering the fact that i signed up late. lol. N i found out that my instructor's name is Freddie.. same as my dad's .. haha

N i should really change my working environment. Its seriously a time to try out differnt things.. Mayb a tour guide.. haha.

Going jogging tmr... I'm feeling healthy. LoL

rattlings again

2008-02-25T15:05:00.000+08:00

I wonder why the army guys will wear a cap when they book out. Not as if they look ugly when they are botak. One perfect example:

OKay. This was the only photo tt i took cos we were all sooo tired last night. haha

I really think this period of time is the best time to job hop. We were like making a list of the differnet kinds of jobs during work and the few things that we came up with were selling ice cream at ben and jerry.. tuition.. haha. But the main idea is to sell ice cream. And even Debbie was saying tt do what we like since we are still young and she was like see who will stay longer at naps. haha. WEll, i shall wait for my contract to end b4 deciding. Maybe it is a good idea to work in some big established company to get used to such working life. Afterall working in naps does not train myself to be stronger as the environment is so familiar. Its school afterall and i'll feel at ease there.

N of cos thinking of doing some volunteer work with jasmine and and to learn how to drive. But my mum told me to wait till the results are out and when i'm done applying for uni b4 learning how to drive. haha

Okay.. I've a list of movies tt i want to watch: P.s. I love you, Step up 2 and The eye.. Anyone wants to watch with me? haha :)

A day out

2008-02-24T15:35:00.000+08:00

Went out with the whole group of them tdy. watched the movie "L change the world". The small little boy is supppeeer cuuuteee !! haha. Quite nice show and the thing is tt we didn't know tt there will be a short part at the end after the whole list of acknowledgements. So almost everyone left the cinema and we wanted to do so too. But the guys so happened wanted to use the toilet at the cinema hall there.. n the girls didn't go as the queue was quite long.. So we jux fluke it and managed to watch the last part as they showed once the guys came out of the toilet and well, luckily the girls didn't go to the toilet, or else we would have missed it.. haha :) The next show shall be the eye. Right, wy? haha. the 2 of us want to watch but the guys like don't want to watch.. its a complete opposite lahh.. haha

Met wy in the afternoon first and we went shopping again. She's really my best shopping buddy since last yr.. haha. There were sales like everywhere and managed to have some gd buys :)

N ppl keep speculating when the results will be out. Ai ya, if not this week then they will say confirm next week. When results didn't come out on the 15 Feb everyone were like saying it will be this week. N the army guys were like saying they will b let off on the 29 Feb.. So? It was the same when they said they would be let off early on the 15 Feb. Stop speculating lahh.. Making ppl nervous only. N this has started since like b4 cny .?!?!

N wy, remember our trip to Taiwan. Alia, if u r reading this, want to join us still? haha Mayb the army guys can join us too when they have their 2 weeks break N of cos the class girls too! :))

ramblings

2008-02-22T21:02:00.000+08:00

This en-bloc thing is back again in my condo after the previous failed attempt last yr. Heard that this time round requires more proccedures.. getting dunno how many ppl to agree, how many ppl to turn up for first meeting etc etc. N there was supposed to be a meeting tdy.. But the entire thing was lapsed n everything has to start all over again because they require a certain number of ppl to be present at 8pm sharp but everyone took their own sweet time n thus it doesn't count. Like who knows of such ruling lahh.. N heard tt there were like about 12 or so ppl at the other block who oppose to the en-bloc n were ready to charge into the conference room anytime to phsyco everyone. So many conflicts had occured due to this collective sales n it had shown the ugly side of some ppl. N it has shown the greedy side of some ppl who are always not satisfied with the amount proposed and think tt their units are worth much more. $3million plus is alrdy a huge sum of money and yet they are not satisfied. N they were like u can't get the same flat size, same surroundings with 3 million.

N of cos i've started thinking of where we should move if the en-bloc were to be successful one day. haha. N of cos i would still prefer to stay at katong this area as there are many food stalls ard, parkway is jux a bus stop away, town is jux nearby (with the help of the expressway), i can get to vivo quickly too. After all i grew up in this area. Although the only inconvienience is tt there is no mrt station nearby. But the nearest is only a few bus stops away.. which is alrdy quite gd and what more there is bus to most of the places. Okay, i sound like i'm promoting my neighbourhood but i seriously can't imagine myself staying in tampines, bedok or in the west. I used to find tampines confusing with all the blocks plus the heavy traffic. Plus i got scared of bedok esp during my 2 yrs in tj, when i often got stuck in the jam and my mum had to speed like crazy in oder to get everyone just in time for school.

But i know we won't get to move at least in the near future as there is really alot of opposition. But I'm sure maybe when the IR is being built and with the youth olympics, property will boom esp for my area since it will be quite near to the IR.. But even so, ppl will always be unsatisfied, always wanting more.

Okay, enough of that. Went jogging tdy again :) didn't really jog much as the sky looked threathening then. N there was no net loss in calories cos i ate 2 slices of pizza after the jog.. >_< hahaha

Results are coming out n i really hope it will not be next friday (29 feb) cos i'll be attending my cosin's wedding on tt day and ppl will bound to ask.. It will even make matter worse esp when all my cousins are so clever n they are are alrdy university graduates or has gotten into some super good course of their choice with their excellent results. N if it were to come out on the first wk of march, n if i don't do well (i'm not trying to be pessimistic here), my mum will blame it on the new car that my dad bought which will be out on the first wk of march too. I hope hope hope she dun have to blame it on the car *keeping my fingers crossed*

Talking about the new car, my dad jux ordered it yst n they say it will be ready on the first wk of march. like so fast can.. normally it will take like ard 6 mths but bcos of the airshow this time round, we can get it fast. cos the car is used to drive the vip ard for this wk. n bcos of that they gave a super big discount. so y not take this offer cos they only used it once n it is cheaper by alot. Furthermore, we got further discount cos my cousin is working at that company. So yah, basically, it was a good deal. Esp to my dad who is always so particular about the car tt he drives :)

And, And, Singapore won the bid to host the youth olympic.. woohoo. haha. it really shows what a young and dynamic nation s'pore is despite its size. :)

And, And, i can't wait to meet wy tmr :)) it will be a fun day i'm sure.

Just another day :)

2008-02-20T21:50:00.000+08:00

Work has been relatively fine for me. Love the days when we go jogging after work. haha. it really ensures that my stamina does not detoriate. :)

Today, Mrs pawa caught us reading books and she was like you will be in trouble if the p sees this. But what to do.. we are fast n efficient in doing our work. Darn. I was still thinking of doing more reading during this period of time, to enrich myself. haha N i wonder if teachers are supposed to do such thing.. You see, when i went to class today, the class was super noisy and a boy was like talking loudly across the room to another friend. Super pissed with the noise level, I mimicked him and then told him to quieten down. Its jux me lahh. Ppl ard me will noe tt i will sometimes mimick ppl for fun. haha. But it kinda of worked cos the boy kept quiet throught :)

I jux realised my mum n dad are very cute.
mum: Lets have a race (we went to the gym u see on sat and she felt like running)
bro n i jux stared at her.
mum: okay. 1,2,3 get set go.
n my bro sped off, leaving my mum n i still running at the back.

mum: lets buy wang li hom latest album
*n she just walked into the record store n look for tt cd
mum: wah. wang li hom so much better than jay chou.. n she started blabbering on a few reasons
wad a hip mum i have. she always listen to these pop songs haha.

we were eating at some place..
waitor: ni shi yao fan de ma?
dad: mei you
then he calls the waitor again.. everyone thought that he wanted tt bowl of rice.. instead..
dad: ni ying kai jiang ni shi yao bai fan de ma..
everyone jux stared at him n started laughing. lol

I've been dreaming of my friends and classmates lately.. Yes, sharon, jas n tian qi will be like saying again cos they always hear me talk abt my dreams. haha. Specifically i dreamt of shi fang, wen xin n woan yun (with dyed brown hair) haha. then i dreamt of ridhwan (like ?!?!) at pasir ris. (he stays at pasir ris too) randomness.. but these are the only few ppl i rmb dreaming of. haha..

I got this feeling that my bro is going to fail his first A-math test! He was jux asking me some qns n when i explained to him the concepts, he had this puzzled look on his face. Wonder if he has been day-dreaming in class n during tuition!

N i have spent half of my pay alrdy.. bought present for my sis ( a wallet which cost ard $100) n of cos something for myself.. a wallet too! I really hope tian qi's palm reading is not true man.. tt i'll be a spendtrift in the future. cos everyone was saying tt it is true upon seeing wad i've bought for myself. I shall change destiny. Its in my own hands after all :) I'm still thinking what to get for my mum. she has gt like everything. I've alrdy knew what i want to get for my dad n bro - a ralph polo and CK bag. Afterall, its my first pay and i want to get something memorable for everyone :)

Night

2008-02-11T17:00:00.000+08:00

Its 1 am now. I just don't feel sleepy and i have to wake up super early tmr for work.. haha.. All bcos i slept frm 8 plus at night to 10 plus and it will soon be a vicious cycle.. as i'll be tired tmr n will again fall aslp ard 8 n again i'll feel super awake ard this time. lol :)

CNY

2008-02-10T22:28:00.000+08:00

Today marks the end of the long weekend that we had. haha.. This year's cny is quite fun filled, contrary from what i had expected it to be. For the past four days there were lots of gambling, drinking of soft drinks, collecting of ang paos, movies.. haha.. watched ah long pte ltd, CJ7 and kung fu dunk during this period. Played lots of mahjong and card games with some of my relatives. There will always be 2 tables for 2 different grps of ppl - those tt bet alot (like a min of $50) and those tt bet small amt (like me) haha. Won like $80 plus on the first day and slowly lost part of the money on the subsequent days. haha. Thought i will have a lucky streak this year, but it only lasted for a day cos i kept losing in the next few days.

This year, i had like 2 grps of ppl coming to my hse - one is my relatives from my paternal side and the other is my dad's friends. My dad's friends' children are like so cute lahh.. They went into the master bed room to look for treasures and then they started sitting on the I-gallop and pretending that they were on a horse. haha.
Managed to meet up with some of my friends too! Met up with sf, wy and daphne for a movie today. This was supposed to be a farewell for daphne as she will be leaving for australia on weds. Daphne very funny lah.. the way she laugh is very cute. haha. n wy will be like always slow by half a beat. When everyone is laughing she will laugh a little later. ahha. (okay i can feel a ball coming in my way)

I shall end this post with a photo (which is something tt we always take when someone is abt to leave s'pore)

tadah. haha. bye daphne. we'll miss u :)

Happy CNY everyone (:
Today's reunion dinner was okayy. The food wasn't that great and it was somemore ex. Could have gotten better food at other restaurants for the same price if not for the late booking. This year dinner was a little weird as the number of ppl who went for dinner had shrunk drastically. For the past 18 years of my life, reunion dinner had always been a noisy affair for my family as EVERYONE would get tgt on cny eve. (ard 30 ppl) But this year was different. Only 2 families turned up for dinner tdy. It had shrunk to a pathetic number of 13. The rest booked their own restaurant and ate on their own
Oh ya. I've the sudden urge to learn driving now!! haha. This is after seeing my cousin being able to drive around freely.. like buying supper in the middle of the night. haha. How cool can that be.. (My cousin just got his license) But there is always mac delivery at night.. okay this is just to comfort myself. lol. I can't imagine myself driving my dad's or mum's car.. It will be super fun lahh. (: Like jux tdy when my mummy drove my dad's car, she didn't know how to operate it cos it was a long time since she last drove it n his car was a little diff frm others. So we were like trying to tell her how to operate n all and i was tinking at that time that if only i knew how to drive, i would be take over immediately without having to keep telling her how to operate it. (as she took some time to get the hang of it and din't know what we were talking about)haha. How fun can tt be lah.. I shall learn driving soon..
OK ppl.. Enjoy ur long weekends.

After working at NAPS for a month or so, I've started to find the kids there irritating. Couldn't stand the noise level and the way they answered back at the teachers. Thank god I don't have to teach. I didn't really go to classes to babysit or anything but just chasing them for forms is a torture. Hope this will not make me deslike children. They seriously ain't that cute as i thought they would be. Seriously, kids nowadays are unlike the past generations when most students were scared of teachers. Like just today, I had to take a few boys to see the vp ocs they bullied another student. Their reactions were like okay lo. Go and see the principal. Nothing to be scared of. I couldn't sense any fear in them.
Okay. Enough of that. I seriously can't wait for 7 Feb to come. It means pay day! haha I've sort of planned what am i going to do using that money. But i wouln't say it here. Its a secret. haha. but i'm not that really excited over cny. Cos it is boring to just go to relative's house n just sit there. I want to go on a holiday since there will be 5 days of holidays (i don't have to work on cny eve since the school will only be opened for 2 hrs) lol. But luckily i'll be meeting up with the clique during cny and watching tons of movies with my family. So cny will not be that boring after all. :)
Happy CNY people. And i jux realised my tag board isin't working.

1st entry

HELLO :)
my first entry after procrastinating for 26483020 years.
Life now has been rather mundane - working, shoppin, sleeping.. jux these few things.haha. I'm bored. I'm also quite slack at work. As in sometimes we are only given a few tasks to do in a day, which all 4 of us will finish it very quickly and we will then be back to our slacking mode again. haha. but for the amount of work and the amount of pay that we are given, it is considered quite a good deal.
So I've decided to do something more constructive and not spend these few months not achieving anything. That's why Tianqi n i have decided to learn jap and we have signed up to be part of the Youth Executive Member at the Marine Parade CC. So we will take part in the planning of events n all.. So life will not be tt boring after all. Plus learning how to drive. (i've been saying tt i want to learn driving since dunno when.. but i'm plain lazy to go all the way to ubi to sign up.. haha! ) After all, life does not evolve ard jux making money. I want to do sth meaningful. N more community work! I had enough of shopping. lol
Okay.. I shall post another time. :)
