upon revisiting this old blog after reading somebody's blogspot blog, i'm inspired to blog here again. HAHA.

each time i look at my archives, i'm stunned by the year in which my blogging began. 2004. WOW. BOY am i getting on in years. LOL.

its about time i changed the title of this blog too. Candid Ramblings After Puberty. gee. puberty. when did THAT happen.

a change.

Power of Prayer

2009-11-24T19:36:00.003+08:00

To keep things short, I was feeling really low and lousy because of some things that I heard and later found out in black and white.

I dont know what came over me but there are some parts of me that have become a person that I dont want to be. It was in this moment that I clasped my hands and prayed a fervent prayer. Its unexplainable how my mindset and feelings can change after praying.

I'm also happy that I actually read a few verses in the Bible after it has gone untouched for the past few years and there I quote a verse that struck me...

"Happy is the man who finds wisdom and the man who gains understanding."

I guess my point is that my thinking has become positive as a friend pointed out in the midst of our conversation. AWESOME!

and ITG :D

A Series of Unfortunate Events

2009-11-06T23:19:00.002+08:00

No. I'm not trying to rip off some title from a famous book series. It is infact an accurate description of this week's endeavours.

It all began with a really fun night out. I was hanging out with my favourite pair of twins at a Halloween party. It was really fun and we stayed till the very last song. The last few songs were really good! Korean blockbuster hits like Nobody are so fun to dance to hee hee. We skipped supfast (my version of somewhere inbetween supper and breakfast) and slept over at their house and then got ready to go about our business the next morning.

This is when the events began rolling. My friends got into a cab to go to church. I waited for bus 89. When it came, I was so focused on the bus' door that I failed to spot a very useless curb. One wrong step, a bad slip and I was limping up the bus. I guess deep in my heart I knew that this slip was no joke but I was really hoping that it'd be ok.

I limped home and a few hours later, my worst fears manifested itself in the form of a painful and swollen foot. HOLA! A badly twisted ankle. A trip to the doctor confirmed the status of my foot. The doctor slapped on a 5 day MC on me and I took what I felt was about 5 years long to hobble home. Even with most of my weight on my umbrella aka walking stick and my dad's shoulder, it took like almost 40 minutes to get back home. Normally it would take me like 1 or 2 minutes via the sidegate which was MOST CONVENIENTLY locked and unusable that day. Geez, talk about apt timing.

Well, the pain got worse so I slapped on a swab (actually it was more of a very gentle application) of the painkiller gel I got from the clinic. My friend advised me to give the ankle complete rest. This friend has much experience with twisted ankles so I felt that his words were worth listening to HAHA (albeit I shouldnt be laughing now that I know how horrible the experience is) I have to thank this 'pro' friend of mine for dispensing much advice. Its good to have advice in such circumstances.

With that, commenced my 5 days home stay. This has to be the first time in a very long time in which I didn't step out of my house for 5 days. GOSH. It was good actually since I got to talk to my parents more. My wonderful mum and dad also settled all my meals for me! Hurray! Otherwise I was on my computer pretty much all of the time. Cleared a lot of files and organized all my music and videos. Digital clutter can be scarier than hardcopy clutter!!! Chatted with friends on MSN... thank goodness for them. I also fixed a dental appointment, did my laundry on 1 foot and learned many songs!!!

The downside of this whole thing was that my entire leg was so numb from the inactivity that I was beginning to wonder if other parts of my leg would be affected by it. Another sucky thing was that I was stuck at home with a horrendous amount of noise coming from the renovations downstairs. Drilling and knocking sounds echoed through the entire house. I now fully comprehend the saying 'You can run, but you can't hide'. The only moments of peace were lunch time and after 5 when they knock off from work. Its so unfortunate that the very days I stay home are such days.

Another downside was that it was actually a very bad week to be out of commision. Work is crazy and many people had to help me out at work which sucks. I guess I tried to do what I could from where I was which definitely wasnt much at all. This had to be an especially admin crazy week too. Yet at the same time, its touching to receive gestures of care and concern from friends and colleague friends. I guess there is always two sides to every story.

Why I entitled this blog entry as such, was mainly because of the foot, the inconvenience and the noisy state of affairs while stuck at home. However, just when I thought things couldnt possibly get worse than this, it did.

I got a splinter in my lip!!! From a pair of wooden, dispoable chopsticks!!! GAH. Luckily I managed to pull it out.

You'd think that this is the last thing that could happen to me but NO. I had to step on the bandage fastener pin too.

DOUBLE GAH.

I'm not quite sure about how I can end this entry without jinxing myself again so I shall just leave this entry as it is.

Till my next post. Adios amigos!

Since then...

2009-10-20T22:17:00.004+08:00

its been insane.

lets begin with my birthday. 25th sept.
went JB. only. i brought the WRONG PASSPORT.
spent 30bux exactly to take a cab back home, grab passport and scoot back to woodlands. geez.
then the 3 BGs treated me to sushi king. YAY.

repercussions... now we always ask if we brought our passports when we wanna go anywhere. HAHA.

26th sept. the birthday celebs continue.
meet XX and WS @ china one for drinks. their treat. thanks!
it was fun chatting once we moved to a quieter (not that quiet also, what with the music just next door) spot cuz we didnt have to yell at each other HAHA.

dunno which sunday.
if i'm not wrong... i missed visiting Hajar for Hari Raya. was very sad to find out later that Mel had brought Chloe so i had missed seeing her again!!!

a whole slew of BG birthdays...
JiaSiMiKuey's Charcos birthday dinner treat...
Su's Bday treat at the airport... TCC with the halloween drink she ordered @_@ and POPEYES!!!

Perangang Seafood trip.
Rushed back to Sengkang from Sentosa Cove where i stayed overnight for Joann's birthday party!!!
17th Oct. Deepavali Public holiday... not a good idea... reached Changi by 11pm only got a boat at like 1pm
took a cab down to the eating place which had GOOD FOOD ZOMGOSH... i ate like i never ate before hahaha..
took a 2 hour bus ride back to JB cuz no more boats by then
wanted to go city square but didnt cuz of some glitches.
ended up suppering at Changi beach without the sick gal and guy HAHA.

e Movies
500 days of summer. funny. still think the guy in the movie was lame. HAHA.
the surrogate. thoughtful movie. not too bad.

highly recommend peeps to watch My Girlfriend is an Agent. its insanely hilarious. catch it when it opens in Nov!!!

not to mention the POST-AMORE dinners with the 2 funkay ladies HAHA
FINALLY got to meet Chloe on one of the dinners cuz she was in the car with Adele!! haha..
kenna interrogated by them about a certain SP somemore...
LOL now i know how celebs feel when something totally untrue is reported about them in the papers and people are talking about it as tho its real.

Life has never been better. I'm very thankful for everything. Cherishing every moment while it lasts.
I know. I used to be the one who was in her own world. I think I'm slowly learning the value of relationships with other people. I'm still in my own world but at least I've taken a step out of it.

I've recorded as much as I can remember. I dont wanna forget any of this.

Cheers to many many FANTASTIC friendships and to the beautiful, wonderful people that I have gotten to know and love in these past few years. It all began in 2007 I would think..but... come to think of it... it all began when we were born.

IT LIES TRUE

2009-09-22T20:36:00.003+08:00

creeping round the face of yours
spoken to men only in halves
I fear not for it lies true
clear and sparkling
the con of science is no art
I stand here; welcoming
manifestation of what time brings
lest the sky should fall
I will still stand tall.

one liner.

the thing to do when you find something important is that you keep it close to your heart.

福意

2009-08-31T22:31:00.002+08:00

幸福的意义

WS老师曾经说过：“你很会制造幸福。”
但是我觉得，我真得很幸福。

我拥有好家庭，健康，以及非常好的朋友们。
从小，我就得到了许多帮助，得到的机会也很多。

这几天，陪着我的人都是好朋友。感觉真好。我很开心。
生活就是这么简单，不需要太复杂。

虽然我没有办法把感触完完整整的以文字呈现出来，但是我还是要把最近感受到的幸福记录在这个地方。

感谢主，让我拥有者所有的一切。我是蒙恩的人。

smile

2009-08-23T02:53:00.002+08:00

you cant help but smile when you're in good company.

it was hall bash @ zouk and later as i found out also YH's birthday! havent seen the laojiaos since leaving hall.. its great to see them again :D

they ordered lots of drinks and i found out that tequila shots definitely arent my thing -argh- definitely prefer tequila POP! heh.. couldnt finish the shot in 1 gulp.. angel helped me finish the other half haha..

the house music was really weird so we crossed over to phuture for our favourite dose of RnB music :D danced to the 9s angel said to leave at 1.30am but after dancing with the yr1-3 peeps we actually joined the laojiaos and continued till 3am hahaha

after that.. someone actually suggested bakuteh!!! so we waaaaaalked only to find the shop closed... 8 mins late -argh- ended up at another kopitiam eating noodles before cabbing home haha...

it was great catching up and chatting with all these peeps!

woke up at 1pm on sat -gosh- still tired out. haha. this was cab day. cab to east point but feli was also late -bleah- visited connie's shop!!! :D tried her ice blended kopi, sour plum drink and my favourite is the zui guey!! I LIKE!! we must go there more often to hang out haha.

then we cab to katong, met G & E for lan gaming. played left4dead for the first time... ( i had only watched my friends play it before ) but its fun!! still my all time fav will always be CS la... no contest.. its the simplest game that gives maximum pleasure :D

then i cabbed to kim keat rd for melmel's big 21st bday!!! her party was seriously orange hahaha. thats mel la. i really miss the gossip, chatter, joking and stuff with hall12 peeps man!!! played guitar hero after cutting cake. oh man i love the drums!!! feel so gian to get a set for myself so i can play the drums everyday :D

after cabbing 3 times in a day, i hitched a ride with C to go back home. thanks man! :D

so tell me, how can i not smile after having such a great time with great people?

2009-07-20T21:50:00.002+08:00

time is still
that moment
hits you like steel
colliding in a world
knows not of how you feel
might of the sword
fails to steal
warmth and courage till
we fall
down
hill

and then the new term begins...

2009-07-01T16:13:00.002+08:00

before going back to work i had to really go all out and have fun.

3rd day back at work and so far so good... i really hope to do better these next few months and help them with their grades.

last few days of the hols were spent in a really pig out way ahaha... sleeping till the sun shone on my butt as they say in mandarin. sleeping is really one of life's greatest luxuries.

the final weekend was well spent playing snooker and dancing the night away at arena with friends. fantastic music most of the time, of course with the conducive environment for dancing it was really shiokness...

but there was a fight outside the club when we stepped out. why do people fight? cuz they arent sober enough to think clearly obviously... so far i have only seen fights outside clubs and long ago when i was still in sec sch where there are neighbourhood gangs. it was quite scary considering that they were throwing dustbins and chairs at fellow human beings made of flesh and blood and very vunerable to injuries... these people who find a better way to vent their feelings... boxing perhaps at least its a sport haha...

spirits up! 20 more weeks to go!!! GO GO GO!!!

LIFEISGOOD!!!

2009-06-19T23:44:00.002+08:00

HOLIDAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!

heng i went on with the BKK trip despite h1n1 spreading like wild fire everywhere in the world...

let me just say that the BKK trip was totally AWESOMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE YAY!!!

I bought:

SNOOKER CUE!!!!!!!!!!! haha this blog post breaks the record for highest number of exclaimation marks can :P I love my snooker cue :) and I have decided to call it Mr. Q HAHAHAHAHA so cute right XD melmel helped me with my Qing when we went PG a couple days back. indeed i can feel the difference.. better cuing and my very own Mr. Q MUAHAHAHAHA potting is one of the best feelings you can experience ESPECIALLY potting in snooker... the balls are small, table big and long and the pots are tough... accuracy is essential!!! which makes potting an adrenaline rush :))) the best part is that I saved quite a bit of money buying the cue from the HQ of Mastercue... luckily we had a good taxi driver who found the place even though it was quite secluded. I managed to get an extension, case and the cue itself for the same price of just a cue if I had bought it back home :)

GREEN SAPPHIRE PENDANT!!!!!!!! for my mum lah..... think she was quite happy with it... can see her grinning a bit when i gave it to her... :)

A LOT OF CLOTHES AND ACCESSORIES!!!!!! muahahahahaaa... minus the stuff i bought on behalf of a few friends... i think i spent approx. 450SGD on shopping, eating and travelling there.

a fair amount was spent on ERDINGER!!!!!!!! managed to find erdinger at TOPS at MBK. couldnt find it anywhere else at all!!! 330ml bottle of erdinger cost me only about 3.50SGD can you believe it HAHAHAHAHA we cleaned out the whole shelf... between all of us we bought 9 330ml bottles and 2 500ml bottles HAHAHA really drank enough erdinger to last me 6 mths man...

this trip is much improved IMO. lower cost and more well rounded as a holiday i feel cuz we got to eat a lot more and relax a lot since there's less people around... time at the hotel was spent watching ESPN on TV hahaha... it was the NBA finals and there were baseball games too haha... remember watching baseball the last time we went BKK too HAHAHA and of course idly chatting away...

but honestly... every time we got back to our hotel we were really tired from all the walking and shopping all day long. its really quite exhausting to shop full time LOL.

tired BUT HAPPY... thats the way to live life!!!

FOR JO: MY PS HAHA!

2009-05-11T14:31:00.001+08:00

that which doesnt kill you, makes you stronger.

2009-03-23T21:49:00.003+08:00

as the years go by, i believe in the logic of this statement more and more. it enlightens and empowers. i now draw on the strength of these words and the strength of my faith in God, my dad and all things good.

yes its been a trying 5 days ever since the big O. but while i am still holding my breath, not daring to even breathe easy for a second due to the paranoid fears that things may just go awry anytime.. i am indeed comforted in the sight i saw today.

i have not shed any tears yet although they seem to be on the verge of spilling out at the most unexpected moments.

Lets be strong. Lets pull through this.

Amen.

Dear God,

2009-03-19T12:50:00.002+08:00

Can you hear what my heart has to say?

好久不见！

2009-03-16T02:21:00.002+08:00

havent seen my mood pick up so much for a long time hahas. havent blogged for eons too!

okay :D i'm blogging now!!! mmm i wanna say that life is being life and there's ups and downs all the time. right now... its UP! forget about all the downs for a while. I havent been up for quite a while and its getting sickening to be down all the time just thinking of the things that i dont have or no longer have.

before the green eyed monster eats me up... I WANNA RUN AWAY!!!!!!! yeah run away from the little demons HIAKHIAKHIAK.

whats good is that i've been up to no good for the past few days :D

spent friday with EFPS peeps at VIVO!!!!! awesome day out and VERY long day might i add. lunch + shopping + coffee + chitchat.

saturday was exhausting... classes at LWS from 1 to 8.30pm EEK! no break! EEK! but it ended off nicely with dinner at the ramen shop, HC and MAVIS... havent talked to MAVIS for sooooo long already!!! had a good talk with the two of them... very informative talk HAHA... learnt a lot of stuff that I wasnt aware of! makes me wonder sometimes =x :D then I went for a midnight movie with other LWS peeps hey hey! RACE TO WITCH MOUNTAIN! so nice... poor muimui after the movie we were joking about her 'alieness' state hahas. the movie was GOOD! 8 out of 10!

sunday got to sleep later... but SICK ALREADY! darn. until now still cant breathe through my nose ._. had a couple of classes. some very NUAH people in class still can suggest to just go for dinner LOL. anyway we went for dinner at sushi tei (JO,EM,YY,KS) :D damn nice food lah! chitchat also... then train home :)

not bad not bad. i wanna do some constructive things tomorrow! hope it gets done :)

ok... blog lor...

2009-02-26T23:59:00.003+08:00

so a medic was asking me why i didnt blog for so long today. ok... blog lor...

hahas! i think i cant really blog cuz its just been a swamp of W.O.R.K. and a flurry of activities thats been keeping my brain really mushy lately.

cant wait for MARCH HOLS!!!!!!! seriously.. you think you look forward to hols... THINK AGAIN!! nothing compares to how much i yearn for the hols to come man.
super need that break to catch up on sleep, which i'm losing as i type this blog hahahas

anyways going off topic for a bit.. i never knew that i could get internally injured by reading. well, there's always a first for everything.

right now what i really need is SLEEP. so ciao people.

2009-02-03T16:02:00.001+08:00

sick. flu 1 angela 0

2009-01-31T09:47:00.002+08:00

how is it that i can be perfectly healthy during the hols and get sick the moment i step into my workplace?

dont tell me its the lack of rest cuz i wasnt exactly resting a whole lot during my hols either. is it the stress? work? or the circulation of germs in the classroom and office... through the airconditioning... germs play hop-and-ride with us?

its absolutely SUCKY to work when you're sick. i think many people agree with me that when you're sick you need rest. but hell, i swore not to take MC at all. so i'm not taking MC. anyway i popped a couple of Vit C pills... hopefully they are working their way through the flu buggies now. whats worse is that i have 3 classes later today before i head down to connie's son's birthday.

and as a remembrance for a few items i've lost recently. WHAT LUCK -_-!!!
1. my lovely pink nalgene waterbottle.. 2 weeks old LOST.
2. my earplugs... very old LOST.
3. my black specs... barely a mth old LOST.

@%&&@#$%^&* what is happening to all my stuff?!!?!? where are they going?!?!?! I need my black specs to cover my very tired and haggard eyes!!! :( darnnit... took so long to find a pair that i like and fits... bought from KL lei... HOW TO GET ANOTHER PAIR?!?!?!

2009 rocks. really.

2009-01-22T00:33:00.002+08:00

you cant reset. so how?

something new. . . . . old

2009-01-08T16:53:00.002+08:00

new organizer, new year, new...new...new...

when does a new year stop being new, when does it start to become old?

最近的生活虽然有很多事情发生但还算慢顺利的。这是好事吧。我也不知道。好想要有一些很震撼人生的事。好想要一些刺激。。。

最近听到一个还蛮吓人的消息。有个我们曾经认识的人竟然已经离开了我们。这是我第一次认识这样离开世界的人。我没有办法理解。不否认，我曾经有想过这样离开会怎样，但是我清楚知道我绝对不会选择这样离开。不管前面的路看似有多么的坎坷，我也会面对它，用我自己的方式面对它。。。

对于这位增经认识的人，我只能说，一路好走。

感触

2008-12-23T02:11:00.004+08:00

已经好久没写部落隔了。我最经过得很好，去了两次的旅行！虽然都是同一个国家可是两个旅行都相当的好玩。在假日的日子里，感觉上好像做了满多事。每天的行程排得满满的，跟朋友吃饭，逛街，唱KTV，还回了HALL12 住了一个礼拜！真得很开心！

感觉上已经很久没有这么的享受生活了，所以我会更加珍惜这些快乐的日子！我现在正处在一个满感性的状态，因为我正在听一首很好听的歌。。。它的曲和词都写的非常好。尤其是副歌的歌词更是让我有一种心被看穿的感觉。歌词真得写了我的心声！而且，这首歌又说到我最爱的小王子的故事。。。

以下就是S.H.E - 612 星球副歌的歌词。不知道你会不会有同感呢？

我但愿有一个人在等我
在属於我的612星球
好让我忍着痛
也愿意往下走
不快乐至少要有梦
一定会有一个人在等我
无条件拥抱着我的所有
想遇见我还要翻越多少山丘
花别谢太快请你等等我

The Myth About Homework

2008-11-06T21:02:00.000+08:00

The Myth About Homework

I quote from this article

"Success on standardized tests is, of course, only one measure of learning--and only one purported goal of homework. Educators, including Cooper, tend to defend homework by saying it builds study habits, self-discipline and time-management skills. But there's also evidence that homework sours kids' attitudes toward school. "It's one thing to say we are wasting kids' time and straining parent-kid relationships," Kohn told me, "but what's unforgivable is if homework is damaging our kids' interest in learning, undermining their curiosity."

I really couldnt agree more.

SPORE

2008-10-27T12:18:00.000+08:00

hello everyone, i'm BS (blur sotong, not bullshit ok!)

check it out.. this is my first creation on SPORE. i'm very happy to announce that i finally have ae new desktop after something like 7 years! this brand new desktop is so fast that my jaw drops in awe LOL. i can finally install SPORE and it doesnt take 5mins to load ePT anymore! YAY!

went ktv last night with peeps from uv180, AC and T... it wasnt that many hours but it was fun. i think shorter ktv might actually be more fun than those that are like 4-5 hours long... we only went for 2 hours so we really sang the songs that we wanted instead of singing everything under the sun. it helps to go with good singers as well :P

pk nite was good. hopefully the next episodes will get more and more exciting HEHEHE

bye bye lousy week... HELLO HAPPY WEEK!!!

2008-09-30T20:46:00.000+08:00

life is full of ups and downs.

last week was one of the down weeks. i decided not the fight it and let it run its full course... until today!!! YAY ITS OVER =D

and sometimes... i dont know if we just dont care enough or we are really getting senile...
4 of us were supposed to go bowling on the 21st of sept. it wasnt until today when i was trying to clear emails that i was reminded of it. turns out ALL OF US FORGOT!!! awesome what chemistry we have HAHAHA

i'm probably quite high today also because we performed for the children today =D did a hiphop dance had it combined with the belly dancers into a solid performance which i thought was pretty nice =D most importantly, the kids enjoyed it =)

happy week... hope it turns into happy month and happy year muahaha actually heard something wise today... think happy thoughts!

你我的自由

詞：Nicole Lai 黎珈仪
曲：Nicole Lai 黎珈仪 / Ruth Ling 林雅慧

昨天晚上一早闭上双眼想早点说声晚安
从小小绵羊数到成长这么办月亮都快要下班

明天早上太阳依旧依然灿烂
放开别再想你有多么伤哪一个海湾没有波浪
算了吧就让他一切随风

你说爱与不爱你没选择我说不选择也算是选择
你说受伤怎么办我说复合并不难
只要心中有一道光

童话故事里王子都要骑着白马
(Oh)公主要等到什么时候才醒啊
爱已出现在你们的身上别在假装你都看不见

童话故事里公主都要等人救啊
(Oh)快醒醒吧别再傻傻等
如果你爱他你真的爱他
就快点去吧（别再失去他）

Thank You...

Thank you, for teaching me how to teach.
Your words changed my view of teaching a lot. You told me, I've got the knowledge and skill and its time to work on the person.
Now I don't just teach skill and technique, I want to encourage, inspire and push my students to gain not just technique, knowledge and mastery in music and vocals but to also truly enjoy, immerse and understand the meaning of music and performance.

I realise that this is so much harder to do! It was a real eye opener sitting in your lessons. You brought so much to the class, sometimes I felt that the pupils were wasting their chance to learn so much from you.

Now you're in heaven where pain does not follow. Thats good. The rest of us will miss you.. your lovely voice.. your teachings.. for me, although i was not super close to you, I will remember what you taught me forever.

This is why I love to teach.. You leave a legacy and it lives on forever in the hearts of your students. Then you know that you have made a difference.

Jane is marriedddddddd =D May she have a good marriage and a lot of happiness =)
So she is the first in our group of dunman gurls to put her name down on paper and also have the wedding dinner that officiates the wedding in the eyes of the chinese.

its the typical feeling one gets at weddings... (i've been to 4 weddings already) and boy are they boring!!! except for JJ's wedding which was very different and actually funnn, most wedding dinners are a drag even if they are for your loved ones and friends...

can wedding dinners be more fun to go to? can it not just be a formality?

anyways... some pix from Jane's wedding dinner =) luckily XM was there to crap with me all night HAHAHA!!

and it doesnt help that I was just at another dinner in a hotel ballroom just a couple nights before Jane's wedding. it was Hall12 DnD 2008!!! I went as Lara Croft. wanted to be so many different characters but in the end i chose LC cuz she's easier to put together.. (except for the boobs doh..)

i managed to get almost everything from my existing possessions... see see!

and of course with the help of angel who got me a rubberband and GG who helped me tie my hair into the signature LC plait... the finished product!!!

and Lara Croft meets with many fellow hero friends!!!

a movie

2008-08-22T13:29:00.000+08:00

i was watching the sisterhood of the traveling pants.

ok. i know the name of the movie sounds REALLY REALLY silly but the movie turned out to be a lot more promising than the title was. which is a good thing of course.

see see!

time flies

Eason Chan's concert. AWESOME!!! I LOVE EASON CHAN!!! 他表演的境界已经到达了非常不可思议的境界，真的！！！好力害！！！太享受和陶醉在他的歌声之下。有些东西真的是天赋的。有就是有，勉强是没有幸福的。我自己的歌声我知道没有办法像这些歌手这么的有辨示度，也只能靠技巧了！
his encore was super long! he gave us so many extra songs zomg... really really 直回票价！

and the most recent thing in my life was the LCMM Grade 8 exam, FOC 2008, JASH 2008.
i was quite stressed about the exam haha... theory part was really challenging this time... quite a big jump from grade 6. even with the preparation classes that i attended, i was still very pressured by it... probably cuz i was aiming for distinction... knowing that a pass is not the issue its the quality of it that mattered. passion makes a big difference in things i realised... never really set my sights so high in other things besides my music... i think the only other time when i really pia for something was my A levels hahas!

after LCMM exam i had dinner with connieeee ^_^ YAY had a lot to chat about... one of the things i really thank lwssom for is my friendship with my sass matazz group hee... SM FOREVER!!! woohoo!!! we had fish n co for dinner whee...

then i rushed to hall 12 to join 'ct' and his programmers (which are all from our clique lah) at the nie 'corner'. our station was basically to give people the ride of their life haha.. i remember that it was quite shiok when i tried it as a freshie last year... now alumni already so fast LOL...
check our photos HERE

barely got any sleep before i had to rush to efps for family day... go fly kite... LITERALLY fly kites lol! i helped out with balloon sculpture cuz i kind knew a few tricks there haha... then no time to rest. went home... change... a few hours later i was at lwssom teaching my classes! arghghgh... my body was really dying man...

got home and really concussed till sunday. another tiring day with 4 classes packed... then monday... work... couldnt go home to rest cuz had to mark p6 prelim paper... took super long to finish marking with my colleagues. a lot of tired faces in that room! finally got home but STILL couldnt rest... cuz it was...

JASH!!!! was talking to angel on msn when she asked me whether wanna join them for JASH... i was like sure! haha can hang out with my 12 peeps and i love dancing!!! WOOHOO!!! got there about 11plus got my chop and joined them at the kopitiam for pre-zouk haha...

after some drinks we headed back to zouk and the music was already quite high... we traded our vouchers to get jugs of drinks and after emptying the jugs we headed to the dance floor where people from 12 were clustered. i danced my guts out till 2.15am. thats when the music stopped HAHA. REALLY SHIOK AH!!! dance and dance and dance... just let go... all stress gone, all troubles forgotten. just me and the music and a bunch of people who enjoy the music and dance like me. really great atmosphere.
check out some photos HERE

and here we are today. ytd very paiseh... sigh... suay lah...

tomorrow will be a better day!!! jiayou for work!!! jiayou for life!!!

back to earth

2008-07-16T19:13:00.000+08:00

so after seniors camp i came crashing back to earth on monday. back to life as it is.

i'm starting to wonder how unhealthy it is.. to need that escape.. how disappointed i must be with where i am right now to not want to be here. still trying to come to terms with life being nothing but work and work... occasional play that is hardly enough.. is life even worth living sometimes i wonder why life has to suck this way.

they tell u JC will be fun. its not as fun as they made it out to be. then they say uni will beat JC hands down.. again.. FOOLED. uni sucked too. then its work and work sucks the most. its like life ends. whats there to look forward to now?!?!?

anyways... i'm just ranting LOL... check out the pictures i took on my facebook album HERE

took a cab down after work. they were doing the pool games at src. joined them at the record breakers. then there was dinner and some free time so we played MJ!!! HAHAS =P omg i lost big time... ivan won lor... win big sial... his luck too strong to fight HAHA!!

next day we set out like 6.30am =.= advance party took the lorry to sentosa to set up the beach games before the participants arrived. and then... me and mel GOT LOST. took us an hour to find subway!!! later on we found out that koufu was at palawan and the person who brought me there the last time was jingying LOL... well at least we got our subway =x

after that was back to the super fast lorry and back to hall... from there we went camp christine to set up the fright night props and sets... make up and all... we were all quite scary i thought... but its quite tiring to repeatedly do the same thing over and over again. after a while really lose the 'feel'. very tired at the end... we finished long past midnight =.=

next day super early again.. really cannot get up liao... got telematch and senior vs junior.

it was great to see all my friends from 12 again. i really miss the feeling i have when i'm with them. its something else man. something else.

think the only other time when i feel as good is when i'm singing or on stage performing... thats when i'm me and i'm proud to be me =)

investitured

2008-07-09T23:44:00.004+08:00

more to come

tues was our investiture/convo/grad day. i was super tired. rushed by cab to hall to iron the gown. so hard to iron =s

met allen and xw before the ceremony started and went crazy taking pictures with all my nie mates HAHA...

then the ceremony started and i was bored out of my shoes. was on the verge of drifting off too dreamland when it was our row's turn to go up stage. been there done that.

i left almost immediately after the whole thing after grabbing a quick drink and some food cuz i was starving and almost dying of dehydration. didnt hang around to take more pictures HAHA... so i didnt take any pictures with my music buddies from QCI... too bad lah... but pictures are just pictures... memories and the friendships will stay for as long as i make the effort to keep them =)

as for today... i went to cine to meet my friends to celeb jerry's birthday! so there was joann, vicki, pepper, gabe, jason and jerry! korean bbq was the place we ate at. VERY YUMMY CHICKEN!!! must try the chicken there man... awesome lor... especially the teriyaki drumstick =) and the other type of chicken i forgot what its called HAHA.

picture to come later =P

after that was LCMM theory class at LWS with hc. pictures up when i transfer from my phone hehe... omg grade 8 lcmm is no joke.... almost fainted from all the intervals dim/aug and all the weirdest and most difficult vocal acrobatics plus harmonising and a ton of other things that we have to handle... rhythm is quite hopeless especially when its 5/4 time O M G =x

anyway i'm like half dead yet still blogging at this time i think i'm crazy HAHAS!

ok lah... goodnight!

pa giu & get smart

2008-07-07T21:55:00.000+08:00

table 21

yup. pa giu! played a bit of 9 ball first.. then go snooker.. cmi HAHA it wasnt until much later then i started potting better again -_- eh pot liao super shiok!

felt like watching a movie... so we checked the papers decided on get smart since both of us havent caught it yet. been hearing about how funny it is so should be a safe bet too.

zomg. 10/10 movie again HAHA is it the movies or is it me being too easily contented with the movies i dunno but i thoroughly enjoyed steve and anne's weird-and-a-little-off chemistry, steve's immense gift for comedy, and the overall combination of the spin off from the tv series get smart and spoofs from other action movies. too many hilarious scenes so i shall not go into them otherwise my entry will never end.

tmr. how i wished tmr would just hide itself and not come... let it be friday tmr, please?

day 2 of long weekend

2008-07-07T00:20:00.000+08:00

had 1 class at lws. fun class too =) i feel really fortunate to be doing something that i really like and when i'm doing it i forget that i'm working and its really fun. looking forward to getting this class to improve =)

after that i hanged around office chit chatting with liyi, CL, weizhenie, and my koh bro (haha) topic was office synergy... i wonder how things became this way... anyhow my stand is neutral. but i can understand how pple feel from both sides of the picture. its just people and people around people.

i picked up my gown for investiture at the studio. comtemplating whether to take a portrait with my parents or not. didnt take one the last time when i grad from nus. feel like getting one cuz it looks nice. anybody knows a good and cheap studio to take family portrait? hahas

went to bugis to have steamboat dinner with vic and bz. i was so early i went to a cd shop first... bought 2 albums. eason and corrinne. we went to chuan yi pin. had room for more pple so i called G to join us. he was ok with eating with strangers so he came and hit if off quite well too hahas. then bz wanted icecream. so guess what... ended up at the same B&J place as last night!! zomg... share icecream again cuz i didnt want to have to finish one by myself.

home. blog. sleep. snookie tmr!!!

t&t

2008-07-06T01:01:00.000+08:00

taught my classes at lws today before heading down to clarke quay to meet C & F for dinner at this jap restaurant at central. very nice food, quite pricey... the 3 of us chalked up $120 for cod fish, salmon sashimi, chasoba, beef something and grilled salmon with cheese rolls. serving isnt that big too. but the taste buds will be happy. too bad no pics! forgot to take =.=

saw C's baby boy!!! so cuteeeeeeeeee =3 chubby cheeks and a cheeky look HAHAS! so curious about his surroundings awww~ 4months old!!! awesome =)

after that rushed down to the cathay to catch hancock with G, J & J and CC. missed a bit of the starting darnnit! VERY GOOD MOVIE. I LIKE. 10/10 i like everything about it. the people acting, the characters, the plot, development and most incredibly the ending was super. i think good endings are hard to come by and i was very happy with the ending. super cool movie i couldnt resist smsing feli to tell her that hancock is good HAHAS!

we re adjourned to ben & jerry's for icecream. i didnt want a whole icecream by myself... ate a bit of cc's i-c haha

new new new new

2008-07-05T01:54:00.002+08:00

4 news.

1. i got new blogskin!
the previous one got on my nerves cuz too big. this one i like =)

2. new shots!!
mmm... i think i finally caught onto the balls at the snooker table. starting from last sat its been getting better! made more nice shots at thur's pg session too AWESOME!!! really got feel when u r confident of the shot. quite unexplainable a feeling but u just half know half feel... then POT! SHIOK! HAHAS! went pg wif mel after p-ing at the ponds with c, ggq, zz and mel. we were supposed to go early lah! BUT end up all late and those peeps went and had brunch at j8 LOL!

and guess wad... ME & GGW & Rod 09 = MANY PRAWNS muahaha poor mel and zz... hee hee hee

watched WANTED with mel. she was super high and asked for couple seats i was like WTH?! then i thought... how much? same price! so ok... thinking the seats would be bigger and more comfy but turns out cannot even find the seats cuz the alphabet sequence jumped. in the end anyhow sit HAHA!

after the movie we tried to find the seats. found it! but the seats so crappy. lol. just normal seats lor... not more comfy or anything CHEY.

the movie... was fine until the ending. so crappy! omgawd. of course A.J managed to look ultra cool all the time. the main char irritated me all throughout the movie though... from loser to maniac

3. new clothes!!!
bought 2 pieces from mng today =D awesome!!! went shopping after excelfest today with S and S. only at mng did i try on stuff and buy them HAHA!

4. new pictures!!!! (haha)
photoshoot today at LWS PG. saw wu pei ci at lws... didnt realise it was her i was so busy running around. i only thought it weird to see so many strange faces around. later on i realised they're with her haha. so she took vocal/music lessons with us at our school and weisong laoshi was bringing her to 933fm for an interview i think... anyway she took a group photo with the PG before leaving. hopefully i can get the picture from JY soon.

so the photoshoot commenced. quite fun. i took some too just for the fun of it. i couldnt resist doing monkey faces though. LOL. got 1 monkey face picture i quite like ! cant wait to get the pics =D

meanwhile here's some pictures that i have uploaded for eons...

TGIFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

2008-06-27T11:45:00.000+08:00

its friday. holymolymacaroni. YAY!!! WEEKEND!!! commencing my worship of the prawn god for a good harvest tmr =)

went pg-ing ytd. mel asked me the day before when wanna pg. i was like tmr? she was like tmr?! HAHAHA and so we went pg.

i think i've been holding my cue too far all this while. going by feel is not the best way to work on your cue action as i found out by turning back to look at my arm and i realised how far back it was. it may have felt like it was perpendicular but it wasnt! anyway i now grip my cue further up and its much better... it feels so different. not that i'm potting any balls though... my estimation and all that still sucks pretty bad... snooker really requires a freakish amount of accuracy =s nvm. i shall LEISURELY improve. HAHAHA.

and i'm blogging and marking. mark mark mark mark markmarkmarkmarkamkarmkarmkarm rahs.

tonight going lws pg. HAHA! need to practice for lcmm. memorize my lyrics please!

tiredddddddddd

2008-06-25T15:53:00.002+08:00

i think i never did get over the historically most exhausting weekend EVER in the history of my life LOLS.

even till now. or is it that my body has been so attuned to the cycle of sleeping at the time that i am getting up at now. or is it the everyday hectic rush. or is it the knowledge that life has really ended.

NO!!!

LIFE HAS NOT ENDED. NO. I'm still looking forward to prawning this saturday. YAY. get to see my funny friends with whom i can be myself, be comfortable, be REAL, be relaxed, be evil, be funny, be wacky, be crazy, be FREE.

i think the person who invented the whole capitalism, barter trade and MONEY thingy should be shot dead in the head with one HUGE bullet. that person probably didnt realise that he would be inventing the very thing that brings out the worst in people, the most evil side, the deepest and darkest depths of their insecurities and the worst... KIASUISM and KIASISM. so much so that some otherwise perfectly beautiful people could turn into the worst monsters known to mankind. it is this very mechanism and system that brings out the green in people and turn them into GREENEVIL. what will it take to see some compassion, kindness, forgiveness, empathy and just pure acceptance in people?

humans simply love to self-destruct.

watched kungfu panda with SC,S and RT at AMK hub on tues. cheap tix for $6 BUT super ex cab fare SOBSOB. i hate ERP! omggg ERP is like a plate of cheap chicken rice! its crazy man... no wonder motorists complain about ERP and now i know why mrbrown made all that stuff about ERP.

went down to clarke quay after the movie (which was really nice!) and headed to waraku. as usual, meeting lws people means auto 30mins late. so meeting time was 9pm and my movie ended at 9pm LOLS. i got there ard 9.45pm and nobody was there HAHAS!!! called weizhen and she was punctual that poor girl had been waiting 45mins lolsss...

it was hideaki and cheryl's birthday!!! YAY!!! AWESOME!!! (pictures another time when i have the mood to do transfers from my phone har har har) food was really AWESOME. 4 tables we reserved and each table ordered all sorts of fantastic food hahaha... had like a competition on which table ordered more happening food lol... will we ever grow up? (what a dumb Q hahas) our twin bros were their usual amount of fun, company was great and altogether a very heartwarming night out YAY!

the end, the beginning

2008-06-23T15:19:00.001+08:00

last few days of my life as free bird were spent in the most awesome way ever HAHA =D

met my gang of 12 (actually only 10 haha) for prata. gg brought us to prata shop near boonkeng mrt.

prata the cheap option to go haha... eat a lot and pay a little =P

after dinner, MAHJONG! hahas... mingfing had some time so we managed to wing it and gather a party of 4 for a mj stayover at mel's. we played 1 round quite quickly and went for some supper. i bought ba ku teh! founder's haha very niceee =P and another round of mj after that hee...

played till almost 5am before we all went to sleep. omg. SO TIRED the next morning. really didnt feel like getting up at all lol.

headed to lwssom. i must say i really envy pple staying in central areas. i took a cab from mel's place and it was like 5mins from lws ZOMG?!?! and so cheap to take cab... i hate sengkang i really wanna move to a more central place...

weekend spent at lws for pg audition camp. too bad i missed most of the auditions cuz i had to teach my classes... but many of them r my students so i didnt really need to watch to know but i wanted to see the other pple auditioning.

i hope to see PG 2008 climb to greater heights and grow into even better performances.

my own beginning, has only just begun.

growing up

2008-06-19T01:31:00.000+08:00

i feel like i've grown a lot in the past year... staying in hall has changed me, going to nie and getting to know my wonderful qci mates, practicum and its pressures forced me to look at challenges in the eye and have a face off and eventually graduating from it all...

i have mixed feelings really.

its a new start. i'm taking over pratihba's timetable wholesale. had gotten some information about my new classes... its so essential to know what to expect. things are in a state of uncertainty right now and prathiba is out of town so i cant get to talk to her yet.

we BTs decided to go CP for lunch after meeting the P and the handover-ings. i ran into RT and KX while on my way to meet up with the rest since i had to return my bicycle back home first (YES i rode my bicycle dressed in my office wear AND HEELS doh) so we all had lunch at pizzahut... picked up some tips from KX about PE class mgt... i want it to be good.

then i headed to LWS after. saw jy there, sang and played the keyboard for like 2 hours (omg that feels sooooooooo good even if it was for LCMM) then when i was rushing off to city hall when i met connie at comcentre!!! connie mummieeeeeeeee =3 backtracked to LWS to lend her my vcds so that she could practice for upcoming show.

snooker =) with mel and her friend yx (if i'm not wrong about the initials) mmm i think i suck big time LOL. cannot figure out the angles at all... very difficult to judge and control... i want moreeeeeeeeeeeee more of snooker/pool and more of mj... our efforts of get tgt for mj fell thru again =( awwww

mjmjmjmjmjmjmjaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

anyways i took 153 instead tonight... turns out that i get to kovan very quickly! but i think i just missed the last 136 which would have taken me right home so i had to catch the last train.. luckily i didnt wait past the last train timing... DO NOT want history to repeat itself even if its nearer this time at kovan...

hello blog...

2008-06-18T02:43:00.000+08:00

blogging here at the start of the France VS Italy match of Euro 2008. got a complaint from someone that my blog has no updates hahas...

well, i left off at the mj session last monday... did i mention how much i love mj? it was awesome by the way... we played 2 rounds, i took the 1st and mel took the 2nd haha... poor angel and ps had to take the fall. me and mel are always the noisy ones in mj... take turns to go a little zany HAHA angel and ps are much more calm and quiet. different styles of mj but the noisy ones seem to rock out! =P

nothing worthy of blogging of until friday which is when i played pool with mel. missed the last bus ARGH was forced to take a cab home =.= cost more than the pool itself damnit. didnt play very well that night... think when u play more u crave for more standard from yourself.

the weekend was spent watching gossip girl, packing and hanging out with family. something i have come to cherish increasingly as i grow older and older... i guess, we all have to mature at some point of our lives.

watched the steve davis snooker vids and tried the tips out with gabe @ bukit timah plaza pool place on sunday night after my classes. HORRIBLE! didnt pot at all until i gave it up and reverted back to my instincts. afterwards i was talking to mel and she used my line on myself LOL.

and here i am now blogging... been sorting thru my clothes all day, trying them on, mixing and matching, tossing out whatever i can to lighten my wardobe... and STILL, doesnt seem to have made much of an impact. i did enjoy my private mini fashion show in my room though... with good ol' power 98 blaring and my good ol' mirror haha!

going to meet the P tmr, or later rather... gonna find out which class i'll be taking... gotta look at the classroom as well, i wanna claim it as my own and make a clean start. this is the beginning. of course, the prospect of snooker later in the evening is the main attraction of the day HAHA!

things to look forward to this week
1) snooker
2) pool
3) prata
4) PG camp
5) gossip girl (sarah is right. this show is fantastic. best one of its genre i've watched so far)

other things
1) start of school

God, help me.

and thank god i didnt miss out on any goals while blogging this =P

where did it all come from???

2008-06-09T23:53:00.000+08:00

so i was playing pool/snooker with mel last thurs when she was like lets play MJ. i'm of course like OK! lols... call up the necessary peeps and the arrangement was made. and so... i'm playing MJ tmr!!! YAY =D

becuz of the really little sleep i got during the week... i totally crashed out on fri hahas... frightened gg cuz she thot i went home alrdy but she saw me slping in the room LOL...

sat was spent all day at lws... had my final class with uv163... gonna miss teaching them cuz they're so fun to teach =( but its also nice cuz finally they can graduate and get on with more exciting things! anyway i had a lot of fun goofing ard after class with them (now that they grad-ing i can be more relaxed with them HAHAS!) then we went for supper at macs and just talked and talked hahas.

sunday = mummy's birthday!!! mmm went for lunch with her and daddy at kovan... wanted to go shopping with her but she seemed to be in a weird offish mood and she wanted to go home and do work. oh well... so we all went home and it wasnt too bad also lah... free to talk and talk and talk! and i tried to pack/dump/org my stuff.

today was funnnnnn =PPP went ktv with my friends from nie at kallang hahas! they are really really fun to ktv with lor... everybody is a little crazy hahaha... we all know that good times will come to an end and i guess... we're all a little sad deep inside... its been a fantastic year with all of you!!! gonna miss you all soooooo much =( so we MUST keep meeting up!!! even if we're buried under piles of marking/admin/cca/remedials and other commitments!

anyway, i resumed my pack/dump/org thingy... mmm i dunno where it all came from but each time i move back home from hall or my office i seem to have tons of stuff that seem to have come from nowhere!!! and i've spent the past hour trying to clear my wardrobe of clothes i dont wear but after throwing out a bagful of clothes i still see no difference in the amount of space in my wardrobe -_-

but nevermind... its mahjong tmr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

人生到底是为了什么？
人生是充满了意义，还是“意”无所有？

我们是否再找根本就不存在的意义吗？
如果人生是没有意义的，是否会显得很狼狈？

我们的生存是别无选择，所以需要寻找意义。
人类的高傲，狂妄，自恋等等，都是来自于意义。
我们认为我们的存在是有意义的。
我们认为我们比其他生物拥有更多的智慧。
或许我们都错了。
或许这宇宙是没有意义的。
生存与存在都只是因为所以其中根本就没有道理。

如果我们不再寻找那所谓的意义，我们是否会活的快乐一点？
逍遥自在？轻松快乐？
我总是觉得人类最至高的才艺事给与自己压力。

Post Happy Trip to BKK: Nana...

2008-06-05T15:03:00.001+08:00

i realise that i havent been blogging about stuff happening after nana... its been really a jolly good time thanks to my dear friends frm 12 =)

well well... let me use a time line for this

21st may wed: back in hall and sch. had my final qce class. i really do aspire to be a teacher like dr wong. her dedication to her job and pupils is outstanding. i think she has made a huge impact on every pupil that passes thru her classes and this is something that i would like to achieve as well.

also had dna class... i find it very interesting, mainly cuz i never took bio hahaha... maybe i'm well suited for bio and sciences instead of the arts... but that i'll never know will i? LOL... got to extract dna from a banana... it was pretty awesome and cool =)

23rd may fri: MJ DAY!!! got up real early to head to novena from hall. got thr on time but everybody else was late! hahas... tabao-ed like 4 mac bfs and went to mel's place (good thing she drives man haha!) then AL and PS came shortly after... mel had to fetch her bro to the dentist so the 3 of us started taking really silly pictures with 'bei guang' zzz lol! i conclude that AL is not a fantastic photographer HAHAS!

mel got back and we started mahjong-ing YAY!!! i won big. keep hu-ing. poor PS had to pay quite a bit of school fees for that session lols... well on a sadder note, we couldnt have known at that point in time that we would be getting to play with monkey bar hammy for the last time for he died just 3 days later to ant bites as mel suspected. rather shocking to hear how he died... for it was so soon after we had just seen him =( R.I.P

24th may sat: worked at lws. had fun. went for a movie it was indiana jones. it sucked. didnt like seeing IJ so old. like ah peh like that... run up a flight of stairs will pant one... so er xin. the most i can accept is IJ as a fit uncle... but ah peh is too much for me to handle i dun like.

26th may mon: made full use of the start of my mini hols. met XW at JP and we shopped ard randomly... looking at books in popular... vcd shop... ntuc even lol! after that i had a window of an hour or so before i met ah sun for dinner... just didnt wanna wander ard for so long so i impulsively bought tix for 'made of honour' and watched it by myself. incidentally i was chatting with mel and she ate lunch by herself that day hahaha... by now she's an independent luncher liao! MOH is a pleasant movie. feel good movie. romantic comedy. not bad =) then i met ah sun for dinner at crystal jade. ate my usual beef noodles lols... mr a joined us after that to shop for bbq stuff.

27th may tues: BBQ DAY!!! we went SS to shop for supplies. me ah sun, clarence, AL. came back and started the bbq YAY!!!

29th may thurs: KTV!!! gg, mr a joined us for a while... the rest of us ah sun, ggw, mel, ps and me, we sang our hearts and voices out man... very very fun =D the vids and photos make me LOL XD after that we went looking for a drink n some food. ended up at mac! lol... me n mel shared the happy meal n then it was rather funny when we took so long to decide which toy to get and the cashier asked us to step aside n decide!!! LOL!!! we worse than kids =s

30th may fri: met shanice, aifen and esther for lunch at amk hub. shai couldnt join us sadly... lol ate at new york new york only just the evening before and then next day lunch at the same place ahaha... the food is ok but the service aint that great... chat chat shop shop then they had to leave and i was meeting mel for a ball game! (watched too many snooker vids thanks to mel what with the max breaks make me gian!!!) so again... in order to kill time.. i watched chronicles of NARNIA: prince caspian ALL BY MYSELF!!! hahahahaha!!! 2.5 hours long movie and just nice to fill in the gap hohoho =P so in the name of research for my nana chronicles... i purchased the tix and went in lols... nice movie actually and i probably find it nice only cuz i havent read the book yet! hehe... anyhow, it was a great movie and afterwards i went to TPY to meet mel. shopped around popular looking for narnia books but didnt find the version of the book that i wanted. too bad.

met mel at snooker zone. on my way thr i saw this woman performing... quite zai lah but a bit lao pai haha... but quite suitable for the audience age group also... make me gian performing also!!! piang ehz anyhow mel was ordering noodles when i got thr. the soup ah... is GOOD! very nice very addictive hehehe. we started with pool but we were in terrible form. mel cldnt see with her glasses and nothing i hit went in. so embarrassing we decided to play snooker. i think snooker worked better for us HAHA! but mel's neck was straining cuz she need to see with glasses LOL. i went for all the crazy shots like long distance and going for the corner pockets hahas.. it wasnt until much later that i finally got my 'feel' and starting making better shots... but by that time it was time to go home!!! rahs. caught the 88 home =)

31st may sat: met gabe for dinner at mr beans. wanted to play snooker again altho my back was aching from the previous session. too gian already lol! too bad cldnt find a place with empty tables tho. in the end we just drove ard before heading home. talked a lot of crap on the way lol.

1st june sun: full day at lws again... then met up with ss and ac at katong for steamboat! shilin supposed to go but she got called back to work! aiyo =( super sad lor... so long no see alrdy... nvm we'll meet up again!!! after dinner we went ss' house where we chatted more and me and ac tried some of her clothes and took them home cuz ss didnt want them anymore! hees! its so great to catch up on everything thats happening to all of us =D

2nd june (OMG ITS JUNE ALRDY?!?!?!) mon: start of the horrible 2 weeks =( yeah i blogged abt the 1st day alrdy so i shall skip that but while msning, wilfred asked me if i wanted to watch sg vs uzbekistan haha... at first i was reluctant cuz got MAHJONG later at night BUT wilfred said chikwan also going to watch then can go back hall with him so i said ok HAHA!!! so i went. met them at kallang leisure park for dinner since i ended early (actually is me rmb the wrong end time LOL) saw jarren and yewhong there too but they were there to play floorball with some alumni hall seniors.

went into the stadium with jieming and chikwan. the rest were late. its a good feeling to be there in the stadium. i love the crowd and the spirit there =) too bad the rest were late and missed the opening goal albeit it was against us. i rly must say that our defense SUCKS BIG TIME. do we even have a defense??? i dunno man.. we didnt pressure them enough, gave them too much space and as a result we lost 7 to 3 OMG!!! so sian!!!

after the match everyone was like hoarse from scolding and shouting during the match HAHAHA... we walked back to kallang leisure park to get some drinks and eat... so there was wilfred, jiahao, xp and jy, jm and ck and myself. we went thr to wait for jarren but in the end we met up at kallang mrt instead LOL...

back at hall AL and GG were back too!!! =) i told them abt the LOUSY match i just saw... lol... then finally... we played MJ!!! YAY!!! =D poor AL... lost quite a bit... i got lucky and won quite a bit hee hee hee... started out losing and fang pao-ing but later on in xi and bei feng managed to turn things ard =)

of course we ended at like 5 plus AM so i was like a zombie during lectures the next day LOL... slept thru it all...

4th jun wed: PRAWN DAY!!! u know sometimes u gotta trust yourself and your instincts. i had already checked out all the bus routes and maps regarding the location of the prawning place. but we happened to meet a friend of al and ps's and he was living in the area so i thought 'ok lets listen to him he shld know' turns out he's quite wrong about the stop to get off at and we had long overshot the correct stop and stupid me saw the place that was next to the prawn place but didnt get off =x

anyway mel's dad came and picked us up haha... but no before mel took the chance to laugh at us bleah. I AM THE TOP PRAWNER!!! YAY!!! got 6 of em hees!!! =PPP hahahaha very happy. ps got 1 too altho she was damn scared of the prawn hahahas angel started off quite well.. she was the first to catch a prawn... but my 'overseas job' was quite successful and later on i sort of got the idea of how to get prawns so i didnt lose too many prawns unlike mel... think her hook was too small so the prawns got away easily... next time pick a bigger hook! like mine! mel was more busy unhooking everybody else's prawns than unhooking her own LOL!!! she even kenna cut by the prawn!! =x 2 accidents in a day... gg tripped and fell over a curb zzz and quite a few skin injuries dunno how she fall until like that.. hope they're both ok =) gg still complaining that it hurt last night... so many hours alrdy still hurt!?!?! ggw and clarence got the look of a seasoned prawner. only the look. hahahas!

anyway i blog until here. photos next time. no time! need to pack stuff to bring home. meeting the lao jiaos for dinner then heading to tpy for some pool!!! this time is mel gian hahaha... actually i also gian lah =P balls here i come!!! =D

girls at breakfast buffet!
the sky pool in hotel zenith =)

Day 3 of our trip to NANA.

Becuz me and the guys had the zenith bf buffet on Day 2... the other 4 girls went down for the buffet bf. their turn to try it out.

Day 3 of the trip is CHATUCHAK day =) we set off early/late to avoid the huge crowd later. no use actually, as we found out later.

The place is HUGE. nothing new to me since i've been there like 3 times already... but i'm sure for some of them first timers, its definitely an eye opener. its like this ultrasuperduperdoublewhooper big pasar malam. HAHA. it rained a little but it was still very hot. i think we were all VERY tired by about 3pm and we just couldnt find the fake havs! just as we were about to give up on the search, we find them! BUT. too small for me... i got 1 pair for gabe though... not all was lost tho cuz gg rmbered that MBK sells them. we decided that we'll revisit MBK hahaha...

i bought my baby milo jacket from CTC tho!!! YAY =) happy happy...

we wizened up this time for dinner. we went to siam. big mall. thai restaurant. and we had delicious padthai AGAIN! tom yum goong AGAIN!! but all very nice =) i got a good deal cuz mel doesnt eat prawns... so... i got ALL of the prawns!!! hahahas!

to be continued...

Hello from LKC...

2008-06-02T14:30:00.000+08:00

so bored zzz!!!! i'm in the middle of a financial literacy talk. i dunno why we gotta come back for 2 weeks to listen to this kind of crap. seriously.

anyway its kinda funny cuz the first talker was trying to shoo us down to sit in front and nobody moved! they tried and tried until i was about to get really irritated with them zzz. using lame phrases like "i'm so lonely down here" "i'm shortsighted" blah blah blah...

second talker was scolding late comers. asking people to sit down, sit down, sit down... her tone became quite fierce also lor... geez... we're not kids ok =s

been feeling very insulted all day today cuz we were made to sign our attendance at the beginning and also at the end of each talk!!! what is this!!! feel like prisoners man... this sucks big time =.=

The Chronicles of Nana: The Journey of the Day Walkers

2008-05-27T10:31:00.002+08:00

So we left off at the BTS station the last time. it was quite funny when we were changing BTS. we had to take connecting trains at siam and ggw followed behind gg. the thing is, gg had no problems getting through the crowd but ggw kept getting bumped into. XD. we came to the conclusion that the difference in their sizes made all the difference LOL.

we finally made it to MBK! we decided to start from the very top. right up there at 6th level. a maze of stalls. we werent very organized so we kind of zigzagged our way around the place, stopping when we saw something good or interesting to us... very FnE style =)

we all hadn't started buying anything yet and we were talking about who would strike the first blood =P gg was saying that she didnt wanna be the first to buy otherwise she would keep buying and spend a lot LOL. anyways me and pearlyn ended up trying clothes in ten and co. the rest wondered off into the myriad of bugis-street-like shops. we took a while but we did buy clothes from there haha. i bought 2 tops of the same cut but in different colours - yellow and black. pearlyn bought tanktops. so there! first buys!!! we met up with the rest again and found that gg had bought something too hahaha.

later on i discovered this shop that had some really nice clothes. really my style. and its rainbow clothes! popular with online shoppers =P erm this is where the curse set in. i bought 2 rainbow hooded tops. same cut different colour. what's new? LOL. i bought white and baby turquoise. but there was this pink one that i really liked too!!! but 3 seemed to many so i didnt get it after consulting with my gang. so plus another white top, i bought 3 pcs at first. when i paid, the lady said thank you please come again =) with a nice smile.

well, that ultimately came true because later on, i was still thinking about the pink top. and mel "helped" me by pointing out the shop when we walked past it again LOL. i couldnt resist. went in looked for the pink top, found it (phew) and bought it. the lady obviously recognised me and she said again... thank you please come again =) and i was like no no no i'm not coming back again no thanks.

BUT!

later on =.= argh the girls wanted to look at jeans and so we went back to that shop AGAIN!!! omg i went to that shop 3 times man! is that a curse or what LOL.

enough of that though... i wanna talk about our lunch at MBK foodcourt. they work on the coupon system so we all traded cash for food coupons. most of us ate PADTHAI!!! YUMMY YUM!!! TOM YUM GOONG!!! YAY!! and they thought i cant take TYG... oooh they couldnt be more wrong... its not the sort of spice that i cant tolerate hahaha i love tyg!!! and gg ordered this dish that she was raving about... mango and glutinous rice. ok. u gotta give it to this girl she definitely knows good stuff. cuz it was raving lunatically GOOD! super nice. the mango sweetness and the glutinous rice taste blended seamlessly in our mouths. REALLY GOOD!

we managed to cover almost all of MBK before we decided that we really needed to go back to the hotel to put down our stuff and get a rest. so thats what we did =)

pictures for this part of the trip:

ggw in hot pink shades!!!
dont ask me what mel was doing. and gg is just stoning LOL. anyways, THATS the pink top that i didnt buy and then i bought. hahas.

p/s: we realised later on that we didnt take that many pictures of the trip. most of the pictures are taken in the hotel when we're resting/being lame/pillow fighting etc... too busy shopping to take pictures hahaha!

anyhow, after MBK and our hotel rest, we went out to hunt for dinner. gg wanted thai restaurant. only, we walked really far past nana and almost to asok, turned at times square and after a quite shop at a rather miserable grocery store (big in size, poor in supplies and prices!) we ended up at this mexican food outlet eating burritos and taco wraps. A LOT OF BEANS!!! i'm definitely not the mexican type i tell you. dun think any of us really like mexican food either HAHAS!

so we didnt eat that much... the guys already planning to grab other food later haha! later on we bought satay on the way back. its those roadside stalls they push out at night. SUPERDUPERABSOLUTEWHOOPER NICE!!! i still cannot forget the chicken satay!!! and we grabbed more food stuff from 7-11 our most trusted place LOL. amazingly enough the 7-11 there has cheaper prices than grocery stores... dunno why...

The guys headed for RCA later in the night whilst the girls hanged out in our room, talking, playing, enjoying ourselves hee hee!!! it must have been mostly lame stuff we talked about and laughed about... cuz i cant remember the contents of what we spoke of LOL!!! but i do remember that me and mel are constantly fighting HAHAS!

The Chronicles of Nana: Prince Zenith

2008-05-27T00:25:00.000+08:00

Continuing from my previous post, we went down to buy the kebab wraps. This is when the funniest thing happened: mel listened to gg. gg mel.

gg taught mel how to order kebab wraps. "you go and point at the meat. show him 3. then he'll know" so thats what mel did. only, this time, it wasnt a thai guy but a lebanese/turkish guy. so guess wad... poor mel went up to the guy and pointed at the meat then showed him 3 with that infamous impish grin of hers. OH BOY HAHA. next thing u know and the guy says "three?" and we all chorused "ya three" and then we laughed like there is no tmr. poor mel. she stood there totally embarrassed. gg wasnt helping lor. she was too busy laughing with us.

this is us later on back in the room. obviously mel had to put up with endless teasing from all of us HIAKZ. we all posed with the infamous 3! gg is doing a very poor imitation of mel's expression LOL. pearlyn looks like she has some tricks up her sleeve LOL. where is angel!!! behind the camera... like for most of the pictures we took. thanks!

we discussed about our plans for day2 and then we got ready to sleep. poor angel always the last to bathe because she takes the longest! i'm bathed first cuz nobody was moving LOL. i think gg and mel can fight for the title of fastest bathers while me and pearlyn are moderate speed bathing and angel sits in her throne for longest bath HAHA!

anyways, whilst i was bathing... i heard this commotion out in the room. turns out mel did some acrobatics with her luggage and fell, knocking her head on the table. of course the rest laughed like there's no tmr (LLTNT) and best of all angel was the faithful photographer, first thing is on her mind wasnt to help mel but to take pictures!!!

LOL too bad i missed seeing it "live".

then after more crappy fun stuff on our bed after bathing, we all drifted off to sleep and the next morning i got up freaking early for breakfast buffet in the hotel. went down with the guys since we only had 4 vouchers. and the other 4 girls took the chance to sleep MORE. all the PIGS tsk tsk =P

see what they did whilst we were having a fantastic buffet breakfast downstairs...

yup. do intelligent things like take pictures with cup noodles and buckets of water.

and later i got back to the room after visiting the roof top pool... (freaking hot up there scorching sun!) and reported that breakfast is very nice =) then i dunno why but we ended up in a huge pillow fight.

wad is gg doing? punching pillows?
looks like i'm winning the fight!
fight fight fight!
peace!
sometimes i wonder why we take pictures that just makes us all look so dumb?

and then the guys were rdy and we set off for our very first shopping destination!!! MBK!!!
first we had to find the NANA BTS station =) then we had to transfer at siam bts to get to national stadium bts to walk to mbk. let the journey begin!

this is where we get our bts cards!
got 3 goondus not looking at the camera. we we had to take it again lol.

anyway we were happily sitting there and taking pictures and gg was telling us about how short the bts is and it doesnt cover the entire platform... joke's on us cuz we were on the wrong end of the platform and the bts stopped on the other end LOL... ended up running for the bts!!!

The Chronicles of Nana: The Boy, the Girl and the Item

2008-05-26T12:30:00.000+08:00

This is a trip I'm sure I'll remember even when I'm 100 yrs old.

The trip began with the 8 of us splitting into 2 groups of 4. Our air tix got put on different flights to BKK and I had in my group Clarence (boy), Pearlyn (girl) and Mel (item). We were supposed to meet for dinner @ Popeyes T1 but the girl and the item already had dinner so it was just me clarence and Mr. A.

we checked in and walked around the shops inside, talking and laughing about random stuff... (its mostly crap) before heading to the gate. WL the cats there were super kiasu about entering. they were practically ready to rush to the gate anytime lor... everytime a person walks up to the gate, the cats will rise, with their bags, ready to CHIONG. best of all, they really did run.

Mel brought sudoku!!! I buang-ed 3 super hard sudokus on the plane =( had to do in pen somemore. They just keep laughing at me when I buang sudoku zzz

we took a taxi to our hotel Zenith. so funny. the driver stopped and checked road directory, address and everything only to realise that our hotel was like 100m infront of us only. we got off and walked the 100m or so distance to avoid looking suspicious (room sharing). clarence got the room no. info from ggw and we headed straight up to 12flr (hall 12, stay on level 12 LOL) and there in 05 we found the other 4!!!

GG101 found the place rather frightening what with the hookers and stray dogs lining the streets. since we arrived at nana during the night, that would be what the streets are full of. but they had found very delicious kebab wraps sold by lebanese/turkish people. they also found the 7-11 (very important for supplies of food and water!)

some pictures of the 1st day/night in nana:

the 1st 4 who flew
our room!
Yummy! Kebab wraps.
we arrived too!
the kebab stall. does the meat ever finish on that thing!?!?!

who do I look like?

Man U

2008-05-22T05:47:00.000+08:00

Man U has been my favourite soccer team in EPL since P4 and I will never forget how I simply watched the match with my uncle and picked the "red team" to win. It was a certain match played against a certain "blue team" and even though my favourite colour during that time was blue, I picked red instead.

I love Man U. Tonight, they won. CL winners of 2008. One of THE most successful clubs ever to grace the face of this earth.

But I hate penalties. I hate it when important matches like the finals end up in penalties and when luck plays a larger part than usual in the deciding of the victor. It was indeed highly heart racing and altogether a very exciting penalty considering the twists and turns and the unexpected misses and saves.

For some weird reason, I had this gut feeling that Ronaldo would miss his penalty. Turns out it was saved haha... he over played it and I think he deserved it. Its always in penalties that such things happen. The Chelsea fans I watched the match with very sweating buckets when Terry stepped up to take the penalty. I had a sudden feeling that Chelsea would win it but he missed!

Van Der Sar, the rightful hero saved Anelka's penalty giving Man U the title as the CL champions. I'm happy about that!

a is back from b

the best trip ever with friends. very fun to go with them, i laughed a lot, played the fool, shopped a hell lot and this has been one of my most memorable trips in my life so far.

more T3 photos =)
Macs @ T3 aint that a cute structure?
I took a picture with the harpist Katrina (I went to this mini cello & harp gig @ the art house and I found the harp REALLY cool, what with the many pedals and the very beautiful sound)
the cello & harp gig event came with a buffet dinner =D
my new camera phone takes really good pictures of food. it doesnt look THAT good in real life =P
Fullerton. not bad huh, this camera phone =P

I dont think I've quite come to terms with the completion of my TP yet. More like, cannot believe that its finally over. I've heard that some times, the human brain can work in miraculous ways and block out the darkest periods of your life. Well, this period of my life is not quite blocked but its quite a blur and I'll settle for that (really, its better than nothing)

enough about that. I'm happy to report that I'm FINALLY BACK IN HALL!!! (Thanks Angel and Gareen for making me feel so welcome to your room) and what better way to start it off than with MAN U becoming the CHAMPIONS AGAIN!!! MUAHAHAHA I managed to catch the last 20mins of the match and also the 2nd goal scored by Giggs!!! so fun watching it in 57 tv lounge with the other people in hall =)

Let me bask in the enjoyment of all that makes me happy. After tasting the bitter, the most diluted honey will taste as sweet as the purest form of honey. There are mini explosions of pure joy going on in my mind right now =P

2008-04-10T21:24:00.001+08:00

crying is good for health. and even more so are friends. good friends.

Do I...

2008-04-04T17:48:00.000+08:00

Do I take setbacks badly?
Do I take disappointments well?
Do I live in the past, dwelling too much on what has gone by?
Do I, do I, do I...

mmm my observation feedback from my main CT wasnt too fantastic. I'm disappointed and discouraged and I'm feeling down. Despite my rather slackish outlook, I am actually a person who has high expectations of myself although I dont always live up to my own expectations HAHA and I have to admit that sometimes my aspirations are rather lofty too. BUT I want to do well for my teaching practice. I would like distinctions. BUT... looks like it might not happen.

I was venting some of my stress, whining, blabbering to my fellow TP friends when one of them mentioned that getting a distinction might put you in a good school. Heaven forbid that happens... anyway I shouldn't have to worry about that... dont see a distinction coming my way at all... =\

lame comic strip I just did

2008-04-02T11:41:00.000+08:00

lame right... =.=" lol who can save me from insanity??

do you thrive on stress?

2008-03-25T19:02:00.000+08:00

sometimes i do, sometimes i dont.
been feeling a little beside myself recently... think its because of the upcoming observation this thurs... feeling worried and i wanna do well!!! so God help me... I'm gonna need all the blessing i can get for this.

I wanted to put in some vids into my phone's mem card and found these random photos which bring back some good ol' memories of good ol' times...

that's jiayu's neckbrace thingy... i tried it on and its quite comfy!!! *act pathetic* do i look like a real victim or what?! hahaha...

Wind of Change

2008-03-15T00:09:00.001+08:00

I follow the Moskva
Down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change

An August summer night
Soldiers passing by
Listening to the wind of change

The world closing in
Did you ever think
That we could be so close,like brothers
The future's in the air
Can feel it everywhere
Blowing with the wind of change

Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away
In the wind of change
Walking down the street
Distant memories Are buried in the past forever

I follow the Moskva
Down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change

Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams
With you and me

Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away
In the wind of change

The wind of change blows straight
Into the face of time
Like a stormwind that will ring
The freedom bell for peace of mind
Let your balalaika sing
What my guitar wants to say

Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams
With you and me

Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away
In the wind of change

pierce pierce

2008-01-21T01:02:00.000+08:00

after the fainting fiasco on friday... my earring holes closed to my utter dismay. so i had to re-pierce the same spot. ARGH.

unbelievable.

i'm not taking out my earrings for at least 6 months i tell you.

=.=

Its been 2 weeks already?!?!?

2008-01-14T00:33:00.000+08:00

And people say "Time flies". At this point in time, I cant agree with that. I think time simply disappears without a trace. The only way to know that time ever existed is to recall what you have done in the past. Which is what I am about to do to prove that the first two weeks of 2008 didnt just go and disappear into thin air.

I remember playing mahjong like crazy every night. I remember the fun-filled Friday where a bunch of us spent the day at Sentosa playing frisbee and beach volleyball (by the way, i'm a beach volleyball fan from that day on) and then I got marvelous sunburnt shoulders because I left that part out when I was putting on the suntan lotion.

I remember the wonderful Squash IHG that we won, the lovely 3 hour session @ victoria's and the yummy crab dinner @ melben (a treat from the Lee bros too!) and the final night of mahjong @ ivan's mahjong den =P (we played till 5am omgosh!)

And

then

school

started.

=(

Ever since school started, it hasnt really occurred to me that it has. I mean, I go to class only because its on my timetable but I'm rather zombified. And for the first time, something worthwhile happened while I was spacing out in tutorial; I wrote a song! HAHA! A tune crept into my head and I was desperately trying to write the solfege on my lecture pad when my friend peeped at what I was doing and was mystified but what she saw on my paper.

5 2 3 - - 3454313 2 1 - -

LOL. And I merely smiled and shook my head when she asked me what I was doing cuz I didnt wanna screw up my tune and solfege. hiakz.

On the topic of music, I'm glad to say that I'm in the semis of Impresario 08 of the solo and duet category with YH. I've never joined competitions as a duet before, its all very new and exciting. For the solo part, I'm happy cuz many moons ago, I had joined Imp but didnt make it to the semis. This must mean then that I have upped my level.hee.

Semis 27th Jan @ Causeway Point. WOO~

==============================

SATAY STEAMBOAT SOUP!!!

Feli - Piggy

JY - what's that supposed to be?

AK - infamous -_- (sian) look with a quizzical brow

Steamboat buffet!!! Feli's "好介绍" @ 200 Tanjong Katong Rd. Its not bad really. The special SATAY 汤头 is really very special and tasty. The raw stuff are quite good too =)

My new dangleys hanging on my DS. Check out the really ugly TRANSFORMER. hiakz. had a great time turning these dangleys with JY that day. I didnt even notice the transformer machine until he pointed out that its really ugly. I decided to try for Optimus Prime... which I got! So this blue lump of uglyness is actually Optimus Prime. LOL.

Countdown to 2008 @ Lee bros' home (Sheena,AK,JY,Sherm)

The LWS Kohs, HK and AK!!! SAY YEAH!!!

Our order list from the pc. Adding those we took off the conveyor belt, our estimated grand total is 82 plates. RARRRRR~

We LOVE Sakae Sushi buffet !!!

Gungho Sushi warriors - GW and CK

Not-So-Gungho Sushi people - Ah Sun and AK

So sometime last week I went for a Sakae Sushi buffet with the 3 of them. One of them somehow ordered 10 plates of lobster salad sushi. we were totally shocked by the wave after wave of sushi arriving at our table. LOL. all of the same kind somemore. urgh.

fortunately, SOMEHOW or rather, we managed to clear all the plates =P and even had room for moshi icecream as dessert!!! MUAHAHAHAHA~

82 plates is by far a record for 4. hiakz.

its all new!!!

2008-01-01T01:10:00.000+08:00

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

May everyone I know have a fantastic year ahead of them =)

they were quite thrilled to see Yanzi up close and personal singing a medley of a few of WS and SS songs that they wrote for her.
she wasnt well on the day of the recording though =(

recordings lasted almost 5 hours from about 7pm till near midnight =.=

the nice baby grand piano they prepared for WS and SS to sing and play their medleys with.

then we had our christmas eve outing @ vivo and sentosa!!! lunch... crazy last last LAST minute christmas shopping and the movie "something emporium" i forget the title... quite a nice movie for the fun day =) then we headed to sentosa for more fun!!!

云顶 Be A Star 2007 cum LWS Retreat 2007 photos part 1

2007-12-19T00:19:00.000+08:00

From left: ME!!!, Connie (2006 Be A Star Champion), Liyi, FongYng (2005 Be A Star Champion) we're all students and staff of LWS!!! =)

My two adorable twin bosses and teachers. Photo taken in a cloud... super foggy!!!

我和两位仙姑合照！！！ This was before we went on the "Flying Coaster" ride. See the red and blue tracks behind us... hehe...

This is me, Liyi and the two 仙姑s after a crazy boat ride that goes down steep slopes super fast and you get splashed full of water at the bottom.

when i got back from genting, the first thing i did was sleep. slept till 6pm the next day... HAR HAR HAR... 我真不愧是属猪的。

2007-12-17T23:49:00.000+08:00

I'M BACK!!!

more updates later =P

出国公干！！！

2007-12-14T03:35:00.000+08:00

Heading to Genting in just a couple hours time. Decided not to sleep so that I can sleep on the coach. Dont wanna waste good time on the bus doing nothing besides playing DS. Gonna wear shades and sleep behind them =P

The past few days have been pretty exciting. Interhall games have been very competitive and I think our hall is the loudest hall ever. Mel just told me on msn that she could hear our cheers from the NIE hockey pitch and she was located at our hall12 bus stop!!! hohoho...

Netball and basketball was super exciting too... I cheered till my voice was breaking at every sentence hahaha!!! Trainings have been packed back to back and I think I overdid it yesterday... after squash training my ankle was kinda strained =x and my right shoulder is still aching hahaha

well, I hope genting will be fun and I pray to God that we will do a fantastic show on saturday.

Back on Monday. Adios mah friends.

DanceFuzion @ Sentosa

2007-12-07T15:51:00.000+08:00

idance

2007-12-04T03:19:00.000+08:00

this is a me! shortly before the dance performance.

after the sem ended me and a couple of friends decided to join DanceFusion for this show @ sentosa. we had very little time to prepare for this dance and i can proudly say that we all tried and did our very best and the show turned out to be quite good =D well done to all of us!!!

decided to blog this to mark my first ever performance as a dancer! even though i dont lack in performance experience, i've never ever really been in a performance that is solely about dance and nothing else. i'm very happy with my first DANCE performance =D

YAY!!!

p/s: cant wait for all the photos we took to be uploaded by the various cam owners =P

self mutilation

2007-11-29T20:29:00.000+08:00

FINALLY.

PIERCED.

MY.

EARS.

no pic no talk.

felt a sharp point then some pain for a spilt second then after that numbness. if you ask me i wouldnt do it again. i'm just freaked out by the thought of self mutilation LOL.

got the deed done at b*dazzle @ JP
thanks to allen... so far my most persuasive friend... and xiaowei and audrey who also encouraged me with "oh-so-encouraging" words. we were supposed to be shopping for our dance outfits. dont know how it hit allen that i could get my ears pierced.

BUT at least i did it!!! YAY!!! HURRAY!!!

now i think i sound so noob to people who have multiple piercings in their ears LOL.

another happy thought:

GESL IS OVER!! YAY!!!

it has been a crazy week what with GESL and dance practice clashing so badly. scurrying around in buses, trains, cabs and kenny's car.

i'm hoping that i can make it through tomorrow.

11am Meet QCI coursemates and tutor for lunch @ Bishan
3pm Dance practice with Carol C @ StudioWu
6pm Meet QCE coursemates and Prof for dinner @ Wakaru
7pm+ PG practice @ LWSSOM

OMGZzZzZzz!!!

22 days later

2007-11-26T03:21:00.000+08:00

how are you guys out there doing?!?!?

as for me...
all assignments cleared. qce501 final exam cleared. all lessons ceased. hols commence.

basically, life has been good to me.

finally caught a movie after God knows how long... I gotta give it 10/10 stars cuz I love it!!!

takuya kimura's screen presence is electrifying. he's cool, suave, funny, quirky and too many things at the same time. and just like the dorama that this movie spinned off from back in 2001... the entire cast maintains that amazing chemistry with each other and the quirky method of filming, the awkward albeit very innovative characters and film angles make this movie bring back fond memories of the dorama.

for people who have not watched the dorama, it would be a tad confusing in the beginning but i asked kp and she said she got the hang of it after a while.

for those who have watched the dorama... and crazy maniacs like me who watched the dorama hero more than 10 times... this movie just builds on the history it has already built up and you will get the full blast of quirky irony that the screen writers so wittily injected into the movie.

recharged

2007-11-04T02:47:00.000+08:00

thank goodness i went home friday. thank goodness i had no classes saturday. watched a couple of korean movies... had a good cry too WAHAHAHA korean movies are major tear jerkers man...

woke up late saturday morning... actually it was already afternoon HEE HEE... watched WO CAI!!! zomg when i heard from ah sun and mingming that ah ya is back on the show i was so happy... wo cai is so much better with ah ya and wu zong xian. cant wait for yang cheng lin to return to wo cai as well. 真的好怀念哦！！！

was late tonight. took a cab to rush down to amoi street. turns out the cabby also didnt know how to get there =.= and they say birds alike flock together... such luck. anyway he was decent enough to stop the meter at $13. good honest driver i must say.

the porridge place was kinda retro didnt feel like i was in singapore haha... they had already finished eating when i got there (opps) =x

headed to this place called the actors club or something like that... feli suggested it saying that the band and the singers are all paying customers... sounds fun!!! turned out to be pretty interesting too. its a mature crowd but the music is good and after a while i got bored just sitting there and listening to other people sing so me and feli made a song request and went up to sing "I Will Survive"

not very sure how to sing the song so it was kinda crappy but all in the spirit of fun and games!!! connie wasnt so keen on singing (aww) and jy was standing most of the time... listening to the music or watchin the Man Utd vs Arsenal match... they drew damnit!!! pretty exciting match for most fans i guess... sometimes i think a tie is the best result for a soccer match. honestly. its cruel that a team has to lose when both play well.

we left the place at 12mn. it was a nice night out with my matazz buddies =)

so many thoughts running through my head... but they're all random crap so i shall end this post here and now. ciao.

please type your title here

2007-11-02T22:00:00.000+08:00

hehe couldnt think of any title this time.
my mind drew a blank.

here's a poem for all of us mere humans...

we possess little supernatural powers
so we scurry along mumbling "life's such a bother"
but take a closer look and see
just how colourful our lives can be

a splash of red and our enemies cower
a hint of green and our hearts covet
a bit of blue and our friends gather
a spot of pink and the guys go "urgh, use another"

a pot of gold and the dish tastes sweeter
a cloud of grey and the sun takes cover
a fluff of white and the doves fly higher
a pitch of black and the stars shine brighter

thus it wont be very long
before the day we discover
just how colourful our lives can be
even without that much power

dancing makes my world go round

2007-10-31T19:08:00.000+08:00

3 presentations, 3 assignments... this hellish week has been really hellish man... been mugging and rushing assignments like siao since recess week till now... and the work still never stops.

every week we get new assignments and everything just snowballs into one gigantic assignment ball -_-

got sick. sigh. but getting better. yay.

Dear God,

please grant me the strength and health to do well for this semester and may my mother's wrist get well soon. May all my friends stay healthy too.

Amen.

woah action

2007-10-08T02:59:00.000+08:00

caught the movie "shoot em up" today... for people who havent watched it yet... DONT.
kinda lame and crappy.

on the way into this mountain we saw this horrific remains of a car accident. i shudder to think of what the people in those 2 cars felt when it happened. one of the cars had flipped upside down and was lying on its bonnet just like in an action movie... only problem... its real life.

2 cars must have collided at high speed and one of them flipped. just looking at the wreckage already makes me feel scared. i hope that nobody got seriously hurt in that... although i dunno how a car can flip like that without anybody getting hurt =X

talking about injuries, i pray that my mum's left wrist will recover quickly too. Amen.

on the lighter side of things... I GOT MY BOLSTER!!! YAY!!! its so coincidental that the bolster i saw at JP is the one from gareen's dad's coy. lol. the world is too small.

shall refrain from making anymore purchases this month. spent too much over the weekend already =(

goodnight peeps ._.

No-Class-All-Assignments-Week ENDS

2007-10-07T01:50:00.000+08:00

I wouldnt say its been an extremely efficient week of clearing assignments but I've done a fair share of work so far. Quite satisfied with my progress *yay*

performed for the first time in hall12 on wed night. mid autumn festival celebration @ the amphi. hohoho. sang jie tuo which sandar gave a whole new meaning to by saying jie4 tuo2 instead of jie3 tuo1 *Hee hee* that was quite amusing man... also did a duet with yew hong. we sang lian ai ping lv and i personally think it was a successful performance =D kudos to us, we did well *MUAHAHAHA*

performing is always fun, albeit the pre-performance jitters that i get. but once i'm on, its shiok shiok shiok ah!!!

bought my new seagate 2.5" ext hdd 120gb today. cost me $120. sobsob. spend more money =(

then i went down to the other side of bugis to meet C, F and J for steamboat. on the whole... the service wasnt very good cuz i think that shop is seriously under-staffed. and the buffet wasnt that fantastic either. but the crabs were quite good! and the soup was nice too... herbal pork belly soup =)

grabbed JJ's hdd on the way to indochine. connie said she wanted to go to a place with live band so feli suggested indochine @ wisma. starting transferring all the files at once *haha*

it was quite crowded at indochine lah! ended up at a small table with this angmoh guy who was kinda drunk i think. quite rowdy. sigh. i suppose he was just being tipsy and friendly. the service wasnt very good either so... whatever lah... =\

good thing was that the live band was super good!!! they're called cats in e cradle. lol whatever that name means man... the lead singer has this super duper sexy voice. omg. when he sang the first line of the first song "drops of jupiter" all our eyes lit up. really impressive.

he's from jakarta, guitarist from jb and the bassist i dunno where from. all very good. their rendition of "zombie" was insanely fantastic. omg. and feli says there's a live band over at clarke quay that beats this one. wah. must go see.

New gear!!!

2007-10-04T22:29:00.000+08:00

YAY a diamondback =3 bought it from a shop in JP for $57... seems like a decent price hehehe... bought a new mousepad to go along with my new mouse too!!! $12

had enough of typing all my assignments on the laptop keyboard, i decided to invest in a cheap and affordable usb keyboard wahahaha... got myself a logitech kb that cost me $16. pretty affordable as well =)

and there lies my new setup in hall... WHEE~

bought these today after dinner @ crystal jade with gareen, angel and sunny. i had the noodles with intestines, gareen had the beef noodles, angel had the meesua-like noodles and sunny had the fried rice... then we ordered XIAO LONG BAO!!! taste like a "bao of heaven" man... afterwards i had dessert!!! the ginger soup dumplings with sesame WAHAHAHA so shiok!!!

then andrew came and we went to ntuc to shop for groceries... WAH WE BOUGHT A LOT. andrew bought a whole carton of A&W for 8.80bux only. wahahaha i kop 4 cans from him. i bought MORE MOCHI!!! and gareen and angel bought like a ton of stuff i wont even bother to list what they bought *lol*

and right now i'm supposed to be chionging my PBL assignment so that the loose ends can be tied up before next week's presentation. 45mins left before midnight. 2 more theories to go.

RAHS~

Happy Children's Day!!!

2007-10-01T01:36:00.000+08:00

Yay... my JS class bugged me for children's day present today hahaha... too bad for them but i hadnt realised that it was children's day already. lol. poor kids.

this is the start of my no-class-but-the-assignments-are-enough-to-kill-you-with-week.

time to let the kanchiong spiders have a taste of angela's mugging powers. dont think only you can mug and chiong work ok... angela also very good at chiong work if she wants to do it. mug till dont eat dont sleep. but what for. i dont want that kind of life. thats why i didnt choose the corporate ladder route. if i chose that road, i wouldnt be satisfied unless i climbed it fast and furious and die young and fabulous.

anyhow... i'm happy to have cleared part of the assignments. operation mount everest. WAHAHAHA. schleepy. yawns. zzz.

p/s: how to do demo when i'm forever living on this mountain?! sigh. how i wish i could bring in my keyboard. should i? havent been writing songs or practicing singing either... come on!!! crank it up girl >=0 i need to keep my mind off certain things and people.

and once again this prayer comes to mind...

Mid Autumn Festival

2007-09-27T22:42:00.000+08:00

So happens that it falls on the same day as my birthday. I didnt realise it until the day itself...

Pictures of the fun-filled night...

Group lantern photo!!! so nice =3

YAY!!! pretty lanterns =D

What was actually a photo of 3 people became this huge group photo *LOL*

NICE NICE NICE!!!

Lanterns... lanterns... lanterns...

after all the photo taking we proceeded to feed the mosquitoes at the NIE pond... i burnt both my lanterns there WOOHOO!!!

afterwhich i went to meet YH to practice for the upcoming show on 3rd OCT for the mooncake festival... little did i know that a surprise was planned for me... mmm the lights were turned out and the next thing i knew my roomie was carrying a birthday cake into the music room!!! WAH... i was NOT expecting any of that *LOL*

very touched by how nice my roomie is... awww =3 this is the very cute tigger she gave me *hee*

Yo its mahBirthday

2007-09-25T11:05:00.000+08:00

ok officially increased in level already. leveled up!!! har har har...

my hdd player spoiled last night. damn it. how now brown cow?

a few measly pictures

2007-09-24T13:16:00.000+08:00

16th Sept was Jay and Cheryl's wedding celebration. why do I call it that instead of the usual "wedding dinner" term most people use? that because Jay is anything but ordinary. From the time I knew him as my vocal instructor till the stage where we became friends... known as the "crab/crap people"... till now where we have become colleagues even!!! he has never come across to me as ordinary. Different is what i would say about him if I had only 1 word to do it with.

Thus his wedding CELEB was also very very different from others. Firstly, it wasnt held in a hotel ballroom. HAHA. Jay said that he hates those wedding dinners so his own wouldnt be held in one. Next, it was a buffet. A very good one mind you. Even the raisin rice was DEE-licious... the chicken... choc fondue!!! mini cakes and everything about it was nice... (even got laksa being dished out in small bowls and like a chef doing lamb at the side) So for the first time, I actually felt full after the dinner LOL and so did everyone else.

Next thing, the emcees were totally unrehearsed and informal. HAHAHA... actually Jay is just lucky that he doesnt have the very traditional parents or in-laws who might have violently objected to his style... so he had WZ and Paul Twohill as hosts. What a strange pairing up. The whole night was thoroughly enjoyable and afterwards we had a jolly good time sucking in the helium from the balloons and talking and singing in the weird high pitched voices WAHAHAHA... we also had an super good time taking pictures and what I've posted below is REALLY a MEASLY few pictures from the night itself.... cant wait to get the whole collection of pictures!!!

me and LY

2 naughty boys.

me and HC

and a very random picture taken by angel. dont we look like we're in some refugee camp? so poor thing gotta eat cup noodles XD

starlite finals picture.

2007-09-17T22:57:00.000+08:00

only managed to get 1 picture. thx to the kind soul who sent it to me.

picture with one of the many fantastic singers from that night... Jagged Twist!

WAH where did time go to?

2007-09-15T23:00:00.000+08:00

cant believe another week has come and gone. time really flies when you're having a good time and absolutely CRAWLS when you're not.

i have to keep glancing at my watch during tutorials, willing the seconds to go faster but when its sports or hanging out with the peeps in TWELVE, time just zooms by like THE FLASH.

so monday night we had tennis icg. it was an okay turnout. i had loads of fun playing tennis lah! took some time to recall how to serve... (last time i learnt was in JC lol) after that it was like "zomg how to return service" my balls flew everywhere lah! even hit the lamppost ROFL.

by the way, my current fav tennis player took US open 07 by storm!!! YAY =)

ok then tuesday i joined a few people for a run around campus. 5.5km didnt warmup and didnt warmdown... even played a bit of bball afterwards @_@

wednesday NETBALL!!! wah i like netball ^_^ so faaaaaaaaarn =3

thursday LEG PAIN >_< rofl... walk also pain... aiyo... didnt try floorball hehehe...

friday SQUASH!!! woot. so fun. YAY. also took a while to get the hang of it... but i slowly got the hang of it... i think... then thank the heavens cuz gareen and angel were at JP!!! wahahaha they bought subway back for us ^_^ clocked in the earliest night of the week at 1.30am

saturday morning 8.30am =.= could barely get up... met GG,P and MM for bf at Can A. went back to do my laundry... slept... then got up to pack up to go off. a whole day of classes @ LWS!!! rahrahrah.

SUNDAY... JJ and Cheryl's wedding!!! wah ^_^ still dunno what to wear there >_<
