booger

i exchanged my whitney housten cd for mariah carey cos my laptop's being selective and refused to read whitney's cd. i think my laptop's a bloody male. anw mariah really shd wear more cloth. the pic inside the cd is pretty.. bare. now i fully understand the meaning of 'leavin little to imagination'. she really is curvy.. hm.

alright guys stop the nose bleed.

i had fun at the law essay today. there should be a rule that allows you to laugh out loud or make as much noise as you want during exams. i mean, the story was bout this rich guy who gets caught sunbathin nude at his home.

rosh finally called me today;D haha okay so ive been slackin arnd so much tt i havent gotten down to askin her bout amore, but hey she said yes! ha we're gonna be such gd kickboxers by the end of ten lessons PERVERTS BEWARE. hiyaaaaah!
anw check out my darling's new blog;D and guess who were her first links (Ahem;D)

cant wait for rachel to come back! hurry up so i have one more shoppin buddy beams.

went shoppin today(again, sigh) and i tried out the lawyer outfit: black blazer and skirt, white shirt inside. i felt so accomplished(even though i didnt get the outfit in the end). tts my future;) now i can envision it better haha. nus law admission interview and essay just makes it seem more real.. even though haha i wldnt be surprised if i dont get into nus. bah bad thgs aside,

gracia's a shishamo;D hellooo millions(smirks) stop talkin to my belly!

days of my life

ahha i totally boogiefied my law interview today;) i actually volunteered to talk about the elections, which was really a very bad move cos after tt he started askin me bout how it works, wads the diff btwn this and that and wads this that. i got thrown off. honestly. im so ashamed of my shallow knowledge of the singapore political system(i rem flunkin the quiz chew gave us once.. only rai and eug were answerin the qns the three of us were lk ... qn marks?hahah) anw okay. at least now i know i shd never get into politics.

anw then i tried to find my way out of the law buidling and walked one whole round and found myself back at where i started. im seriously gettin gd at this...

of all things shiny and sparkling

which really equates to indian stuff, and its magnified by mustafa;) first time there today with may. i saw the HUGE bottle of axe medicated oil which is really quite amazing(whoever uses that much medicated oil must really have a humongous bloated belly full of smelly wind) and this nice cheap organiser and the cute furry notebook and the pretty wooden stand that said 'welcome' and the cheap cosmetics and the wide array of perfume and the whole floor of gold jewellery. and the list goes on;) but its really quite amazing there.

then we tried to find out way to the 'bangle' part of lil india, only that of cos, it was me and may, you really cant expect much frm us;) we did find our way to sim lim square though, so we headed to bugis junction cos someone's hexagon umbrella had to give up on her in the middle of the rain;) but now she has a really pink umbrella which i frowned upon but obviously she doesnt take hints very well. oh wells.

i really wanted to say 'yes' to jiax bout the lindy hop, but ill definitely have to sacrifice one lesson cos of xiamen.

AND i had another colleague (i went back today to collect money) who asked me if i put on weight. i really shd do smthg.....;(

525 600 minutes, 525 000 moments so dear

i just watched RENT the movie and boy, it was gd;D i really liked it. i went in not knowing what to expect(all i knew was it was about america) and haha i certainly did not expect the gay and lesbian couple. (which in my opinion was way better than brokeback.) angel's funeral just made my heart so sour.. i nv thot i cld feel that way even about gays. ;D the music was great too, the songs kept ringing in my head even after i left the cinema. maybe cos my head's quite empty to begin with nowadays.. but hey thats besides the point.

my parents came out of the cinema and haha they had rather negative comments about the movie. im not sayin im now an advocate for lesbians and gays but.. during the movie it just seemed okay. thats the scary part. when you live ur life, out of the cinema, its a totally different story.

anw dont worry. i still lk boys. if they dont have cooties;)

525,600 minutes, 525,000 moments so dear.
525,600 minutes - how do you measure, measure a year?
In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights, in cups of coffee.
In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife.
In 525,600 minutes - how do you measure a year in the life?
How about love? How about love? How about love? Measure in love.
Seasons of love.

tonight there will be no morning star

just came back frm west side story the musical. well i was disappointed, but then again the movie was bland, so. ;) the second half was so much better.. or maybe i just dont lk sad endings. why did tony have to die? he's the male lead for goodness sake. and he sings really well! anw i wore my pretty reddish dress tonight and i felt pretty :D

im so glad ace got out. hail the americans!

ps. i havent gone runnin. nor swimming. hee. ;)

where do we go from here?

this isnt where we intended to be.
we had it all
you believed in me
i believed in you.

i miss singing. ;) anw i cant believe i forgot to congratulate my dearest vjchoir. im so proud of u all my little ducklings;D

went for chorale gown measurement today. i used to tell myself that vc prob needs more time.. but i really dont think its happening. its really very different singing in vc. which makes me miss being a student even more;)

and hello friends if ur workin pls take a day off to spend time together hee;) bcos taitais are supposed to go out with frens NOT without! everyone's going back to work. whatever happened to bumming around??

frankly, its disturbing.

1. just watched the sm lee talk with some young singaporeans. i wonder what it wld take to make young singaporeans realise that the comfort that they're having now came at a price. i wondered what it wld take to let them realise how spoilt they have all been(Not the getting fetched part!). even the simplest thgs that many take for granted were the hard work of many others.
so pls, count your blessings.

(i JUST realised that my mouse pad reads SINGAPORE LEGAL SERVICE. www.lsc.gov.sg. COOL! its a sign.)

2. that im a petty person. if i could tell people off free of charge and stare at everyone who makes me mad i wld seriously be a happier person. whee. but i dont. and im still happy, enough.
sometimes you just think more. ;) and i dont think im ever in doubt.

3. that i really really want to sign up for classes at amore. ahhahaha.

4. that im really considering runnning arnd the reservoir three times a wk.(yeahh right ;D)

5. im in love. meet my man, ji jin hee.-->


and i dont even the least bothered that he just got married! ;D love is great. ahahah.

im nuts.

and bolt awake. hahah wow my sense of humour gets better as the night goes by.
its crazy cos i cant seem to get to slp even though i had a long hard day. bah. i was really lucky to meet jane chia. :D i really had all the luck in the world. and (shocking) the ppl in my grp were nice! gosh. i actually had fun.

i think, i have rheumatism. when it rains or gets cold, my muscles really ache. it was aching quite badly when i got to my office, maybe it was because the bus didnt stop at my bus stop even though i DID press the bell, so i had to walk one more bus stop down. Or maybe its just because i havent exercised for a long time so the walk frm clarke quay to my work plc is (phew) just very far.
id say rheumatism. blame it on the weather.

anw went for supper today with bock and eug. ahha. it was quite nice. ;D i lk my frens. as usual, i was giving bock a free flow of rolling eyes and the you-are-evil-stare. and eug was just happy lapping everythg up. i thot i could spend my taitai days with eug but she had to go back to work. wells now i just have to put up with pink frilly mays and jiaxs:D but anws, it was fun going home really late. heehee.

anw i was doing a psychological test today and the qn read 'do u pass off rumours'. i laughed out loud. im sorry but i have to tick 'greatly disagree'. :D it was really quite funny.

TAITAI LIFESTYLE HERE I COME. spafacialmahjongyogamanicurepedicurerestaurantwinebrowncow. ;)

im a bummer, see me bum.

hmm so i went for my first tuition lesson yesterday. well i have to learn to speak in simple english. they are after all still little primary school kids. the little boy kept lookin at my watch cos he wanted to go swimming. haiyo. ;D and i gave them ALOT of hmwk they better do it before i go again tmr. hm. exams coming soon.

went back to acorn today to help and saw my colleague crying. dear.. i cant imagine crying over work(i can, but i dont wan to) but its really nice to know that you fit right in with the people there even though ur just a temp. i think i can finally put into words why i prefer working in acorn over hep. cos at hep (at least for me) i was treated lk im a nobody, just someone who works for her. the closest word being 'slave'. at acorn ur a person, almost equal, really. and to my egoistic self its really hard to stomach the fact that im downgraded to a little more than a slave and so it hit home that after all my years of sending ppl out of rooms to practise on their own, there is a huge possibility that im the one getting sent out when i go out to work. :D

anw just had prata outside eug's hse just now. i think thats the one shes been telling me to go since ive moved here;D well. for one, its really expensive. and the prata isnt that fantastic. i think the simpang one is realllyyy gd. ;) and for those of you who laugh at me eating banana prata, stop! its really nice u kukus:D

splat.

i am never going to finish my driving. june is fully booked!! and i had to resort to booking night classes, again. so much so for not workin so i can book day classes. AH. im such an idiot. boogabah.

SNORTS

well okay. i can only display discomfort.
im feeling sick. ;( luckily i lasted the whole of saturday, but yesterday i had to go malaysia for qingming.

i finally went jogging. ;) with eug. we were in sch so we jogged to east coast, but on the way back i stopped at the bridge hee. then when we reached the other side she made me run round vj cos 'its still very early!'. yes. so now im aching. woohoo. and i dont see any apparent loss in weight. ;(

im giving tuition soon. gd luck to the kids.

whee

okay lets see.

monday i went for alldressedup's fashion show. eug's mum had hsbc invites. i saw alot of nice clothes;) and ugly models with poor posture haha. now i understand why models have to be tall. so tt even ppl sitting at the back can see them ahah. anw i lk their dresses and one of the knee length shorts. :D

today i went for my first firefly interview. i really think mas doesnt want me anymore, so my dear classmates, stop the 'be-a-bachelorette' joke! ;D anw interview today was quite relaxing. i felt lk i was more on a social visit to edb.

(on a btw note, my mum bought all the dachangjing dvds. so everynight im watching it. )

not sure if i told anyone but i had an idea when after i went highpoint halfway hse with mr ng and min and i pitched it to the edb guy today. (anw im quite sure ive seen the guy before. either tt or he's super lk mr chew) and the edb guy actually said its quite a gd idea. okay maybe just a small talk thg but hmm. :)

its raining men!

i always seem to miss my bus on rainy days. i missed my shuttle bus again today. but nevertheless i love it when it rains.
(and i also forgot to bring my hp out)

went cycling with my darling yesterday morn and it was drizzling so it felt quite nice. except that i am totally out of shape cos now my butt hurts. and i felt so lazy tt we didnt cycle at east coast, we only cycled TO east coast. so lousy ahha. but it was fun;D

went tk on sat morn and managed to talk to a few teachers. feels quite gd to see them again, although i felt ancient even among the prefects bcos there was nobody i actually really knew. wells.

i was really late for my meeting with my class girls after tt but hahah i lk the shirt they gave me. i lk wad it says, it almost seems lk those words came out frm my mouth and got printed there on the tshirt. anw I MISS HAVING FRENS arnd me all the time. so wad are army guys complaining about??

i cant wait for chorale to perform nxt week. we are so (not) prepared. ;D

cozy canopy

my class. yay.

just so my sis can see my new hair. ahha.

i've grown!

took a day off today;) just couldnt imagine myself working today. went back schools today to certify documents. mrs kong commented tt i've 'beefed up'. darn it. anw. im convinced tt im a big kuku. but anyways, dinner was great. haha.

i didnt know they painted tk that ugly orange colour. orange and green so totally do not match (think janice haha). i was so horrified when i walked through the foyer and saw the patches of orange walls. not just normal orange, dull orange. YUCKS.

vj looks the same. ;D saw nelson at the office, but we didnt talk much. anw i cant wait to see the choir at the exchange thg nxt sat. ( i think its nxt sat.)

angie's durian cake rocks! ahha.

im not authorized to view my own blog?

call me un-tech-savvy but yeah, tt page popped out when i tried to view my blog. anw eug and janice are coming my hse laters;D and thurs meet up was fun. i miss the girls so much. we just linked hands and walked through the whole of city link. and chatted. a lot. ah. food at glutton's bay isnt as fantastic as i thot it wld be, but oh wells. wished i cld have stayed on longer cos there was a band there that sounded quite nice.

see a new me frm tmr onwards! ;D hint. my mane is going away.

nanny mcphee!

finally watched it today. my underworld-cum-datemovie friends dont appreciate brit humour. so i asked my mum along;D anw i just felt lk i wanted to watch a movie tonight. was reallly tired at work..;) my mum had a headache watching the movie though, dont know if its a gd or bad thg;) the kids were really dreadful in the beginning.

i love brit humour. hee.

suddenly i see

suddeny i remembered the reason why i wanted to study overseas. it was because i wanted to get away from all these. by saying this i dont really mean i hate where i am now, cos i feel unnaturally patriotic to singapore in most ways and i know i will always return here wherever i may go. its not a bad place to be, really. maybe im just the kind of person who cant stay long at one place, or maybe its just me feeling rebellious. but the feeling that i want to be on my own was very strong and still is.

home makeover!

went ikea today. apparently there was a sale;) it was really crowded. i saw alot of things that i wanted to buy and put in my hse, but when i came back home i realised that by doing that i wld have to throw away alot of thgs that are still usable. So. until i get my own hse, i shall try to refrain from destroying home property;)

bought an orange lampshade tho! ahha. cldnt resist it, it was only six bucks. realllyyy pretttyy. and im planning to put photo frames all arnd my room. and i saw a yellow com desk! just a very simple one, and it was quite affordable. ;) i still wan a rocking chair but my room is reallyy too small. if i DO stay in sg to study, i mum suggested that i move into my sis's room which is obviously much bigger. then i can get my rocking chair. but then that wld mean that there will be two yellow rooms in my hse then;) ,muahah.

IF i do stay in sg. and i dunno if thats a gd thg or bad thg to me. i still cant decide. shall take my time to.

psst. ps. ive been writing the past two entries on my new laptop;)

meantime. its back to work tmr;(

you're on the other side of the world to me

had a happy day today. although i skipped chorale. and horny night. went for uni open houses with my class ppl. although we had one little boy whom we had to keep an eye on cos he kept walking off by himself, and a honourary member of our class who kept making weird comments(haha) it was really enjoyable. and of cos, although the fact that we ended up (as usual) with the guys dotaing. but hm okay. they're pardoned. cos army boys will still be boys. since i got my balloons ;)

anw met an old fren of mine today. and i felt quite happy about it. its great to see ppl whom you have not seen for a longgg time. ;)

another first day

but the people are definitely friendlier and easier;) all thanks to dawn's nice friend. the work's better too cos i get to do my own stuff and she does check on them but tts only for the first few days cos after tt im kinda on my own.

to give a run-down, i get less material benefits(eg. nice pantry, free coke, nice neat and clean working environment, lotsa paper clips and files and what-nots) but i get more satisfaction on the job(nicer ppl and more interesting job). so yay.

i can even go msn:D

also, danny frm butak pantai works here too. he's really tall in real life. and he looks less shy. complete with the messy hairdo;)

during lunch my "boss" was tryin to get her colleagues to guess my age. after which one grilled me on why i want to study law. edrea said its an occupational hazard cos he does all the in depth stuff. but anw it was nice to have lunch with ppl who are alive and kicking and talking.

the nxt job im gettin, im gonna get one that allows me to wear jeans to work.

ps. im gettin cpf too. arghhhh.

saturday= tummy-upset day

yup today i woke up to an upset tummy. again. it has to happen every sat. bah.

anw im glad that results are finally out(im still living as if it was wed, yes) cos its a load off everybody's mind. we were having lunch at jack's plc and i met an old teacher of mine so i went off to say hi, and when i came back to the table rai went 'yunie ur name's on the board. sorry i read ur msg, but yeah. its on the board' i couldnt believe it. well i still cant believe i got an A for econs but i did. hail jack. and im pretty proud of my maths;) i have john nash in me.

and let me congratulate my best friend the top scorer of singapore here;) am so happy for her;) MUACKS

but i start work nxt monday. boo.

and shame on shawn and lucas. booooo.

btw i lost all my photos AND songs cos my com crashed. im very sad. so friends, if you have time or smthg (pls do find time) try to burn a cd of all the pics we took togther? thanksss. or u can try to send to me to my gmail account. greatly appreciated alright? or ill have to crash ur hse one day and make myself comfortable.;)

party away!

went to highpoint halfway house today with mr ng and minxuan. i felt the old sv feeling creepin back. its really weird. now my mind's swimming with ideas. i shall make one of them come true one day. ;) oh but im pretty proud of myself cos my brain is still working. i can still make astute observations (ta-daaa!)

anw smthg really quite remarkable happened today. this uncle called me up and asked if i knew a young girl by the name of *****. i didnt recognise the name but the uncle continued to say that he picked up a wallet and it had my name and number and email add on it. so i thot for a while and i realised it shd be one of the east spring girls' wallet! anw i met up with this uncle who was really nice and kind to return the wallet. when i saw the photo on the ez-link card i immediately recognised the girl. ;) anw tmr im going down to the sch to return the wallet. since im so free.

;) two more dayssss. so lets partyy awaaayyyyyy.

bum bum

alright so ive been bumming around for three days alr. and i guess i do like it. so far. i looked into the newspapers today and i saw alot of recruit express stuff, guess i might be callin them up pretty soon. cant sit arnd and do nthg rite.
i tried paintin my lamp today but it turned out horribly ugly because the paint wont stay on the surface of the lamp, so you dont get a solid colour. and the texture's blimey. so i washed it off (its washable!! hai.) and now its white again. shall try again tmr. maybe i shd try smthg else, lk dots or smthg. easier huh;)

anw had driving again today and yay my instructor said im gd. although i still mount kerb when i did the sharp turn in the circuit but hey, fourth lesson only and im almost done with module one. woohoo. actually i was dreading driving lessons cos well, its scary (although in a fun way) and i really think its a waste of money cos its so expensive. but oh wells ive already started so i cant stop now. its lk eating junk food.

i think im falling in love with my new hse. i love the wind even though it blows the curtains all over the place and tying them up is a chore. and sometimes it gets quite cold in the night. and the ouside traffic is quite noisy. but i lk my hse;) its airy and bright and my room's yellow haha so, yay. :)

did i say ive been replaced?

well today marks my last day in my law firm. ive been replaced by a permanent secretary. i bought a box of nice biscuits frm marks&spencer and i went around offering them to my colleagues. i think it was a great way to strike up a conversation with them, over delicious smelling chocolate biscuits (esp when its late morn and everyone's hungry but you know its not really time for lunch yet;) ) and oh wells. ahha. its great talkin to ppl and gettin to know them and what they've done in their life. this lawyer who works really hard actually talked to me for bout ten minutes, and eventually tried to get me to buy a book about law from one of our colleagues. (haha). and then i went out for lunch with this funny colleague of mine who's really friendly and hip (cos she loves shoes too hee) and we actually went all the way to bras basah cos she wanted to get this precious moment bible. girlsss.:)
but too bad i wont ever get to see them again. but quite an experience.

today was my first driving lesson. today was also the first time i ever touched a steering wheel. today was also the first time i felt a car stall. five times. or maybe more, i didnt keep count.
tmr will be better. :) but it definitely was fun driving a car. woohoo!

who says you cant be productive at work? 

my favourite. i think it looks lk a shrub;) 

well another one. 

howdie mate

haha aust was fun(sorry this is lk, a wk late). i love the weather. its cold and sunny. but everytime the wind blows i wished i was back in singapore. i dont think i can stand cold weather that well.. as much as i love cold winds, i dont think i wld wan to live with it all my life!
and i lk melb's fashion. its all long skirts and half tops and big chunky necklaces and big belts. haha. and its summer sale over there now, although it isnt VERY cheap but hey its still quite a bargain. heh i just love shoppin. only thg bout melb was that u cant shop for shoes cos they nv have my size.
was abit sad coming back to singapore. i kept thinking about going back to work and how dreadful it wld be. but oh well today i helped to draft documents cos these few days my boss is really quite busy. and haha now everyone knows how fierce she can get. its scary, but then again i try not to cross her path too much:)
i had a really gd lunch with bing today. ate at asian kitchen(heh) and had xiao long baos(ha). cant wait for xiamen. then we can have it everyday! ahha.

im just glad the washing machine's fixed so we can finally wash clothes. and i spent the whole of last night ironing clothes. its not working i tell you. clothes never straighten. bad iron. haha today my dad did it and he finished it hahaha. yeah my dad rocks;)

i need to go exercise real soon. i really can feel the fats burning when i sit and slouch at my desk every day.

;)

gong xi fa cai

helloo everyone happy new yr! i spent three wonderful days in malaysia and am going to spend five more wonderful days in australia. i think i liked this yr's cny cos i got to talk to many of my relatives and also not talk to my least favourite relatives HA.
too bad i didnt get to go eug's hse this noon (heard the boys got dark and vulgar tsktsk) but i went for silicon valley gathering once i got back frm malaysia. not alot were present but i think it still made me feel lk a great passioneer. just that i honestly think no one can ever do a replicate of our sv trip. but it felt great to recall my time spent in usa.
yup okay im flyin off later tonight so everyone take care. have a great chinese new yr!

lunch-time

yay ill be meeting eug this sat so we can go shoppin (okay, so I can go shoppin;) and maybe ill drag her to the library too. i seriously think i shd learn to read more.

i realised that if i write about my work experiences it shd be quite interesting for all you friends of mine to read.

anw in short lets just say now i know how to make warm water. ie. mix normal water with hot water from thermos flask.

also. i know how to ask my boss questions about everythg before we actually send smthg off. she nearly gave me a heart attack when she asked for a courier to help send smthg off. luckily i asked the courier how long he'd take to send the stuff or we'd never have found out. i called the courier boss up and he was so nice. gosh. i must have sounded terribly worried anw:)

anw yesterday we had wonderful popeye's chicken with bock n janice. after dinner we must have walked that stretch of airport five times, up and down. haha. and we went to all the couple hot-spots. ahhaha. oh n i bought turkish delight frm candy empire shop. think narnia.. ;)
the nxt time im travellin, eg. 31st jan, i wanna go in early and shop! or look arnd. or at least eat inside. then when we come back... oh darn cant. i wanted to go check out the swimming pool. anw i took the brochere so i know all the gd stuff inside alr;)

"we do good ba-you!" --popeye's (someone really have to find out what this means...)

ha. ;)

You Are Ariel!

Which Disney Princess Are You?

chinesee

i brought the chinese book that my mum gave me for my 18th birthday to work today. spent the whole day reading it.
i strongly suspect my boss now gives me less work cos she's afraid ill make mistakes. heehee.
anw. yup so i've actually been reading chinese the whole day and thinking in chinese too! cool i shall start writing chinese poems hurmphhh u think only gracia can write poems that rhymes? ill write one in chinese HAH.
yeah okay im talkin rubbish. dont count on me on prose n poetry. lit is totally out of my league.

i think i shd go to the library soon.
i also think i shd go buy new yr clothes before new yr actually comes and i have to resign to wearing not-so-new clothes.
i think i shd go exercise more, i can (gulp) feel the fats piling up on my hips. i want no big butt.

banana crumble

met up with my class girls today! was lookin forward to it all week;) anw we just wanted to wish eug happy birthday(hugs) i sang her a birthday song really loudly in swensons. hee. then of cos we had our cheapo shoppin. we had fun laughing at all the silly this fashion clothes ahha. ba was going crazy over all the furry jackets (i really wonder who actually wears them in sg.. if they dont die of heatstroke first) and janice had fun picking out polka-dotted/yellow/funny-looking clothes for me. haha. but there were really quite a few polka dotted stuff. reminded me of 'hot chick'. you know, that plump lady who had a guy playing twister on her. ahhaha.

i actually cant wait for chorale tmr. though i know we wont start singing (lazy bumss). ;)
n i actually msged all the guys in tekong bout chorale tmr. bahh.

yay i can wake up late tmr;)

im not thick skinned enough

have been slackin the whole of this morn cos my boss is on leave and she didnt sign any of the letters so ive got nthg to do. i even finished reading wuthering heights, to the point that i got so engrossed in it, ppl had to call me quite a few times before i could recollect my senses and answer them coherently.
so when my colleages asked me to go for this celebratory lunch (for some guy gettin a promotion) i declined cos i felt bad for slacking.ahha.
darn i shd have went. though i dont see alot of ppl going...

but anw im lookin forward to meeting my girls later this evening. ahha. may ah, we're gettin lazy.. gra n bing beat us to organising it! ah! hahaha. ;) anw i cant wait to chill out.

may i remind everyone that i kena conjunctivitis in malaysia. as if my eyes arent small enough alr, imagine my horror waking up in the morn with a swollen left eye. i was so horrified i was in a bad mood. but hey it took less than a day to clear up so im happy again.
im vain abt my eyes.

my grandma cooked up a feast on sat nite, n everyone came back for the dinner. it felt lk cny alr;) minus the free flow of soft drinks and cny goodies (although they kept eating wangwang it doesnt really count) my grandma was in such a gd mood i dont think ive seen her in a better mood.

im startin to crave for subway. the yummy toasted honey oat bread, the fresh lettuce and the crunchy tomatoes. minus the olives. together with the cookies of cos.

im a cookie monster.

life's gettin to be a routine

its easy to fall into the office-job 9-5 kind of routine. you wake up every day, catch (almost) the same bus, go to work, do ur work, go for lunch, do ur work, go home. then watch tv, do some reading or what-have-yous, then sleep. and then the whole thg repeats itself all over again.
now i really dont blame those working class people from gettin fat with all that sitting down and no exercising. who in the right mind wld go put herself through extra pain and torture??
well maybe its just my workplace, that everyone's always busy and looking a little flustered if you ask me. everyone's really on the job, and theres always work coming in. but not exactly the most friendly environment if you ask me. im used to having loud friends arnd me.
anw tmr is gonna be a very special day cos its gonna be the day where i wear (lo and behold) yellow to work! hooray. i just koped beige coloured pants from my mum so i can match the top ;) you see im tryin to get out of wearin shades of black and white to work, which i've been doing so for the past, five working days. today i wore purple. and the silky skirt frm g2000 is simply the most comfortable thg ever next to your skin. go grab it! is it still on sale??
but i still think pay is a sad issue but lets not talk bout it anymore shall we.

I MISS MY FRIENDSSS(hello army boys ahhaha)

jobbie

dont think ive told everyone yet but hey,i found a job. im a secretary at a law firm. quite alot of stuff to do, not that im the secretarial material (think hian yin.. i dont come close to her!) but hey at least im earning some money although the more i count the more i think its peanuts. but ah. at least its some money.
the only thg is that i dont really have corporate clothes to wear. im wearing all my mum's clothes but i really dont have a 24-inch waist. really.


anw. my boss isnt in yet. think she'll check that im online? ;D

21st dec

thanks bra for the lunch. it was nice of u to treat all 11 of us.. although i honestly felt lk i was just there to dig money out frm u ;) the grilled fish was really yummy. filled me up till 11 today. so yup thanks a lot n hope u had a great birthday.

cant wait for 'picnic' tmr. though i strongly suspect ill exercise my persuading powers and make everyone go marina square.

carolin was fun. haha. i never thought marcus wld be fierce. who wld have thot the guy who cldnt get his words right for carolin last yr wld be the one throwing carolin book at ppl for them to learn the words ;) hahaha. and yes hello mr g#. hee.

i think.. because of my hot-headedness im growing numb to all things irritating. so i wont blow up. but i still roll my eyes, im sorry thats more of a reflex action. but yeah.

its amazing how you know someone so well that you actually do still forgive her despite all her imperfections.

And So it Goes

In every heart there is a room, a sanctuary safe and strong.
to heal the wounds from lovers past, until a new one comes along.
I spoke to you in cautious tones; you answered me with no pretense.
And still i feel i said too much.
My silence is my self defense.
And everytime i've held a rose it seems i only felt the thorns.
And so it goes, and so it goes, and so will you soon i suppose.
But if my silence made you leave, then that would be my worst mistake.
So i will share this room with you.
And you can have this heart to break.
And this is why my eyes are closed, it's just as well for all i've seen.
And so it goes, and so it goes, and you're the only one who knows.
So i would choose to be with you.
Thats it the choice were mine to make.
But you can make decisions too.
And you can have this heart to break.
And so it goes, and so it goes, and you're the only one who knows.

my grandmother used to sing to me...:)

ah how wonderful it is to sing with vjchoir again;) it feels gd to well, be part of a carolling grp. spread christmas cheers arnd, festive joys, and many other variations marie and nichole came up with;) martin complained my smile is too fake haha but hey at least i was smiling and i bet ppl were smitten with my smileys:)

it feels funny to think that people actually thank me for coming down to carol. haha. okay so im not part of the choir proper anymore and im lk some outsider or smthg.. ah but at least now im finally a senior (joinin the lao lao club) and im part of the great vjc tradition.
yay;)

lets all lose our voices carolin!

hm.

i think ive been too wrapped up in my own world. true ive been busy these few weeks and the coming days to be, but i still feel bad. in the midst of my busy schedules ive always had little thgs lk tt poppin up, making me realise that its time i take a breather and well, just try to lead a normal life and not to neglect my frens. im so glad im meeting her tmr cos im too tired to even call anyone and have a decent conversation. yes. i need my ten hours of slp so MICHELLE WHERE ARE YOU. hahaaha.

my dec hols are ending. glummmm.

dumbelle;)

landed back in sg last nite after bout one wk in kl. shah alam was fun, im glad i went. i really do miss singing, and i realised that kids can be pretty adorable if not irritatingly pesty ;) but hey if they call me jie-jie and say im pretty, the least i can do is like them right? haha.
met up with my mum on the last day so i didnt go back with eastspring pri, thank goodness(i dont think i can stand another 5 hr bus journey) and i went shoppin! the shoppin centres are HUGE. and i did buy quite a bit of stuff considering i only shopped for one and a half days effectively. ;)

today we had our first session for the cna thg, will tell you all when its more finalised. but i think it shd be fun tryin to film stuff lah ;)

im still tired. i think i shall have to stick to ten hours of sleep everyday.

EVERYBODY SHOULD JUST COME BACK TO SINGAPORE SO I CAN START SPENDING TIME WITH EVERYONE. bah.

i need to meet up with ppl soon. im lk, seeing bing everyday. ahhaha. ;) i think shah alam was our sixth overseas trip together? greece korea germany sv shahalam hm okay wad was the last one. but anyways yes we go a longgg way back. cool huh. and nxt yr we'll have xiamen. ahha.

anw some kuku gave me some funny number for jimmy and that shameless guy who isnt jimmy kept calling me and talkin coyly to me. after two calls i got suspicious and asked my sis to check for his number. lucky im smart.

haha okay. bedtime.

world peace;)

HA im finally online. havent touched the com for a wk cos pacnet was lousy. anyway i have been busy after A's and have had my schedule really packed. im really tired btw but i miss my com so much i couldnt help not touching it. ;)

anw. prom was okayy i guess. i had fun with my friends, and askin for world peace. i honestly thought it was a little scary to see people you know looking half drunk walking down the streets, but what the hell, its not the kind of life i want and wont be the life i want.
we had fun just walking down orchard road taking pics. oh man we must do it again! i love walking arnd at night cos no one's there to push you arnd and you have the whole road to urself. and eating oyster omelette for supper rocks ahah. there werent anyone else on the street and we kept taking photos of nice structures. ;) and singing christmas songs at the top of our lungs and laughing wildly.. ahha.

i actually wrote letters to all the guys in my class and some others whom i thought i shd appreciate their friendship. i mean, after my anti-guy rallies for two years maybe i shd just let them know that i will miss them after they go ns (LALALA). grins. haha.
will see girls for xmas so, so no hurries. anw its really pathetic, cos everyone's going off at one point or another so we wont be able to go out together until lk christmas period.. argh. but gd lah, at least no one(ie ba) will pester us to go waste 30bucks to scare ourselves by doing bungee jumpin.

yippee now i can watch tv in my room!

anw.
the choir concert tonight was really gd. great job juniors, now i feel lk a proud old woman. woohoo.
i miss singing ;) so im prob joinin vc lah. unless my mum reall has violent objections, which she prob wont since she might suggest me using my own money after i start working.

oh and i attended ms yu's church wedding today. i love weddings. everyone's so pretty;) ahah anw it was a lighthearted affair, quite a few jokes arnd. and the brother actually wrote a song for her. bout getting married. i thought it was particularly touching and i think if anyone did that at my wedding i wld just cry buckets. anw i suddenly had the urge to want to get married soon. but no idea to who.
awn then we started our wedding plans alr. if ur thinkin of being may's or mich's prospective partners pls come to me i need to warn you about somethings first before you actually say 'i do'. seriously with the kind of ideas they have (jungle themed wedding.. leaves instead of rose petals.... wedding dinner cum personal concert for 3 hrs...)even if they tone down you might not take it. so out of the kindness of my heart i shall be a kind soul.

right now i just wanna catch up on my sleep. nothing else can come in between me and my first love. night everyone ;)

second last day in simei

i packed all my clothes already;) it filled six big bags and i still have one more drawer to go. woohoo. i think its scary when you try to pack your clothes and it just keeps filling up the bags. ive always thought i never had enough clothes, well, maybe i just need a change of wardrobe hee. my dad claims i have erm, a lot of shoes but haha he also! and my mum too. see its all in the genes.. actually i cant wait to go over to my own room and start putting up my stuff. im really thinkin of gettin plants. yay. i figured fishes are too troublesome and ive never liked terapins. (recalls mich's squirming racing terapin)
i didnt get to finish watching batman or justice league today. ;(
i actually have great plans for my hair *grins* but i shall not tell my mum yet since well, shes so busy and she wont be reading this anytime soon. sooo. hmm. crosses my fingers;)

listenin to love actually soundtrack just brings you into the christmas mood
"all you need is love. love is all you need"

getting lost.

went ngee ann for sats2 today and it was raining by the time i finish. didnt want to get caught in the rain so eug's father offered to fetch, but in the end (idunnowhy) he didnt come. so we walked out in the rain n i just sat in the nearest busstop waiting for my bus number 9. that plc is near my aunt's, i always go there. ANW i was waiting for quite long alr when i realised i've only seen two buses. ha so i checked the board and yeah it was only two buses, no 9. ;) so i had to walk all the way out to take my 38.
i could have walked to eastpoint to meet my mum lah. wld have been faster. haha i think i took bout thirty mins to take a five min ride :)
isnt it amazing, the things i can do. ;)

who could ever love u more- celine dion

woke up this morning to a full stomach. i had maggi last nite at bout 11 i think. cooked one full packet just for myself *beams* was watching anime while eating. its super gross all the characters had extremely larger than life chests it was obscene. now i know why bock likes to watch anime. ha.
anw then i saw some music awards and whitney housten performed! i rem hearing bout her doing drugs and goin into rehab. well. she looked pretty haggard to me and her voice wasnt as big as i thought it wld be. but nevertheless it was still wonderful watching her sing. its amazing how they(singers) all do it.
and the reason why i still like celine dion (other than the fact that her CD was the first my sis bought(if u dont count bsb)) is bout her making the CD miracle after she had a child. its just such a true reflection of what she is as a person how can u not admire someone like that? ;) anw this is just a random thought that passed my mind when my itunes played her song.
i've shifted to my com room to study since the feng shui at my study room isnt gd (according to my parents it makes me sick cos of all the head hmm). and well it is cooler here. and my itunes belt out gd songs. so im not complaining :)
been memorising biology the whole day. i actually like memorising makes me feel smarter *beams again. ahha.
and i think my voice went one octave lower. again. bass 3 here i come.

blue moooonnn. ;)

haha. platters are coming to singapore! isnt it wonderful i really thought they would be bedridden or smthg. such old songs. maybe im nt as young as i think i am.

anw guess wad i was running a temp yesterday. i had two days of rest so now its back to work. woohoo. my nose is still blocked and my throat still feels funny, n oh my phlegm's the most wonderful colour of all, i think u can call it dark olive. ;) haha. oh wells. am alr drinking lots of water and eating watermelons so i hope i get real well soon.

and since shawn can find anyone to go to platters concerts (its in the middle of A's misterr) here's their song to make up for it;)
oh but i just realised it might be a fake grp. ha. oh wells.
BLUEE MOONNN.

when we walked in fields of gold

*sniff* blobber blobber. *wipes*

so yucky rite. but i cant help it.. ;(

horoscopes.

in lifestyle today
aries: you have a romantic week ahead.

well. now i can make love to my books at ease. hubba hubba.

hee. ;)

nat king cole

L- is for the way you look at me
O- is for the only one i see
V- is very very, extraordinary
E- is even more than anyone can .. adore.. (hee)
and LOVE is all that i can give to you
LOVE is more than just a game for two
Two...blahblah take my heart and pls dont break it
LOVE was meant for me and youuuu.
swoons if only nat king cole is still alive. such nice songs.

anw i've been doing biology the whole day. not a very interesting day.

and its raining really heavily now! i was counting in between lightnings and thunders, cant rem who taught me but it tells u how far away from the lightning you are. i really wonder if singapore will ever have a proper monsoon or typhoon season ten years down the road, now with all the seasonal weather changes. i know someone was telling me about singapore being a possible earthquake zone ten years down the road because of all the earth plates shifting. the only thing i thought of was, damn, i think i'd still be alive ten years later! i really dont wanna live thru an earthquake. and sg definitely cant survive an earthquake can we.
how irrelevant i am. right now i shd be talkin bout how ppl can get 50 marks for compos. glances over at chewmarker.

wanted to type in a story frm readers' digest but it was too long. anw its about the doc go read it if u guys have it. readers digest and time mag rocks. newspapers dont they make my fingers black.

alrights study hard my frens.

somebody save the trees

added to my list of fav pastime: printing paper. 78 pages of bio.

and i was just listenin to vjc olympics songs. Hm i miss singing.

and i still love the rainy weather. ;) was walkin with janice today ahha under the shelter that leads to my block and you could feel the spray of rain. so lovely. although all i cld hear was janice's ramblings cos she cldnt get home as the rain was pretty heavy. we ended up watching taiwanese shows while munching on chips. oh n there's this new flavour on pringles. grilled shrimp. i thot i shd be adventurous so i bought it, but it just tastes lk koropok. so cheaty.

sometimes when we get abit tired of studying :) we talk about prom and i still dunno wad to wear. really wan to wear my big skirt but ahah if i look short...

Billy! haha;) 

i think she likes me-billygilman

haha was just listenin to him yesterday. and i was wondering.. where's he now? i mean he was only 11 when he did that first cd and wowed everyone ;) i did think he was adorably cute. and he's got such an incredible voice.
so, i googled his name and hey guess wad! he's all grown up. i think he's 17 this yr (ALREADY) and he had to go on a two year break cause his voice was very damaged. pretty sad, sounds lk what happened to charlotte church too. anyways, he's back! ahah. with a new album and new songs. how come we never heard about him in sg??
haha n he sounds different. ;) damn his voice broke. haha. but oh wells he still sounds lk good old billy:) ahhah.

living my life

haha. so here i am, on this cold dark night, having the whole hse to myself, and sipping my jolly shandy. loovely. haha.
i love jackie chan and his movies, and in this shanghai knight i particularly liked the part where he fought off the bad english ppl at the market;) with the umbrella! and then there was a part where they played 'singin in the rain' music. ah, jackie chan's a legend, may he live forever :)
i dropped by eastpoint in the evening to get pens and snacks before buying my own dinner, and i felt lk a true auntie carrying the big watsons bag :) i bought alottt of snacks. theni thought of prom and that i will only have five days after exams to get ready. so ive decided to 1. wear a baggy flary dress since its all the rage this season for catwalk (dont u guys ever read fashion news??) 2. get a corsette. hahaha.

and the guys strike a pose. 

janice has green eyes! i never noticed..;) 

staking our claim over the balloon 

and heres us again 

gurrl powerrr! 

stars united ;) 

even the balloon says so.

farewell assembly

one day we'll all go back to shell station and ask for tree houses. ;) i think yongsheng and karthik(i hope i spelt their names correctly) are simply hilarious.
and i will miss vj dearly. ;)

do you believe in fairies?

watched peter pan yesterday. it was so dreadful rushing to the esplanade after our mock gp paper which ended at 545 and the concert was at 7. and the toilet was locked so i couldnt bathe. but that didnt spoil my mood one bit;)
it was really like going to a kids' show cos there must have been a thousand kids inside there. and they were all so chirpy! ahha.
peter pan really flies. oh man it was so cool! throughout the show he was just flying around, dancing, and singing. n he can do tap dance too! amazing little boy. and tinklebell was so adorable. she kept making those little sounds and literally just fleeting around.she was so gd at acting i cant believe they're really only little kids.
i had already read in the news that peter pan would fly into the audience, but honestly u have to see it urself to feel the magic;) ahha at the end he really flew into the audience. you could hear everyone gasping ;) ahha its amazing that the little boy isnt afraid at all. i cant help but blame myslf for being so old or i could have been tinklebell eh;)
hey. i can dream cant i;)

I think, therefore I am.

Today during GP lesson Mr chew had to say goodbye to us. he knows we do love his lessons, but neither of us were expecting him to be so mushy:) ahha 'all the teaching has made me a sissy', i quote. that was about the only funny part ;)
first he went about thanking every single group of us. my class has our own little cliques heh but what came through was really his sincerity and earnestness i guess in making sure that he included everyone.
he was only beginning with the sianghan group and he got choked up alr;) it was really weird seeing him up there, tryin to say goodbye. i couldnt help but think back on the gp lessons we had, several memorable ones, all the madhouse debates and the interesting group work we always had to do. he always had a very fun way of putting his lessons across. of course there were the movies ;) 15, that chicken movie( wads the title.. some heaven smthg?), and whack the dog! ahha. and gattaca.
Listening to him talk, i was almost thankful for being his student for two years. i cant help but think if we mean more to him than he means to us, we being the hallmark of his teaching probably suggests something, but for me i guess theres always smthg about gd teachers that makes me wanna count my blessings. recall mrs ngin ;) ms tng( i really think shes one that makes an impact) and ms yeo ahha. wonderful teachers who've chose to teach. Im glad i had them in my life at one point of time.
i know there was one point of his speech that i really wanted to cry. haha. hm:) however ice queen i am, how could i have not been moved. towards the end when he said he had always felt smthg with our class, 'when souls collide, there's resonance.' smthggg lk tt. haha. i just felt.. tts it, its the end. end of me hanging out with my class, my two years in vj, end of all the laughing and fooling arnd, no more wearing the sch uniform and going to parkway, and i wont even get to see and call the scums scums anymore.
he thanked us girls for always being there to laugh, at. haha grr. also said the girls brought fun laughter peace and joy to the class, and as an afterthought he said to take out the peace, since we were always so noisy. haha.
i left the class reminiscing about the time when we had to do quiet reflections in the new electives hub. haha it turned out to be a badd idea. we just turned wild at the new hub:) we played arnd with the structures, the sliding doors(i rem silly guys puttin their face at the glass circles on the doors.. tt was really funny), the girls were in one room and the guy in the next. and in the end we had to sprawl on the floor and hastily write out reflections.
all along mr chew was sitting quietly in his corner and kinda just letting us be. and in the end he gathered us and read us a poem he wrote about us:) i could still remember how i felt. we were all caught by surprise but we all simply though it was the most wonderful thg to do. its heartwarming to know that he appreciates us;) i think it was frm that one incident where i really thought mr chew was one teacher in his own league. i thot of the word sweet;) but i suspect he might protest.
hm. and so thats how he made my day. again;)

im a zoo tycoon.

im own two tigers, two black rhinos, and two chimpanzees. and all have successfully mated ;) woohoo im such a gd zoo tycoon. haha. yes zoo tycoon is addictive. i thank java for being able to have such wonderful games on ur hp, its really lovely. oh n i own two pets too. one blue poodle and one monkey. i keep wanting to show michelle my monkey but i always forget.

anw haha rachel i met ur mum! i wanted to say hi to her but wasnt sure if she wld recognise me. but i got her to notice me. by droppin my knife really loudly in delifrance and everyone turned to stare at me. its true. then i flashed my biggest smile at rach's mum. ;)
then i met her again at the dressing room n she called my name haha. i still think its funny how those chubby cheeks run in the family ;) so adorable.

i had absolutely no motivation to do my econs hmwk this afternoon. kept tryin to run away by watching this golf movie on channel 5. it had will smith matt damon and charlize theron. pretty cool. i liked the movie ;) haha. then i had to rush my essay even though i was really really hungry.

i may sound evil, but im really glad i live in singapore. away from all the hurricanes, typhoons, and earthquakes. with the recent earthquake between india and pakistan, well. you cant help but be thankful can you.
so lets all count our blessings!
and dont forget to think of those less fortunate.

5000 collegiate words

all for saturday's sat. i just killed ten more trees by printing all those 5000 words. Sorry Mother Earth, i promise i will stop drinking coke and resist the urge to pull out grass so i can compensate for the trees.
tell me im silly to prepare for sats when everyone is preparing for A's.
no. dont tell me.
i wanna go to the beach tmrrrr. im sounding querulous :) and i abominate staying in sch to study, it simply bores me.
alright thats all the vocab ive learnt so far.

VJC students make headlines in TJY NEWS

VJC Students make astounding discovery in Biology lesson

A group of VJC students from the fantastic class of 04S22 (not all since many were absent today) made a fascinating discovery today. The teacher, Mrs Lim, was very impressed by the intellectual ability of the students and even urged them to further their ideas on qualitative research.
It was unusual how this group of students made this discovery. It shows that formal education can still serve its purpose of evoking creativity in students if the students have the right attitude.
During a normal biology lesson, the students were on the subject of fat cells, whereby an inquisitive student, Raihana, asked if there were such things such as fat cells. To the students' surprise there is, and the fat cell is like any other normal cell which has a nucleus.
Which would imply, according to biological theories, that a fat call can also undergo uncontrolled cell division if there is mutation in its tumour suppressing gene or the p53 gene, causing it to cease to produce normal regulatory proteins. This will result in cancer in fat cells.
An observant student, Eugenia, then made an observation that obesity could be due to cancer in the fat cells.
A loud student(haha), Janice, then asked the teacher if it was possible and this aroused the teacher's interest in this subject.
The teacher then urged the students to further their theory on research, and the job is going to Eugenia who is going to further her studies in Biology in renowned universities.

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


Anyways. haha. ive decided that im a maths genius in disguise. okay maybe not in disguise since its pretty obvious. ;) i did my 3d trigo in a differnet way today and me n mr koh spent quite a bit of time figuring out why its so different if you look at it frm different angles. nope we didnt have an ans, but she promised she'll tell me on fri. this is the kind of intellectual conversations we shd all have lahh.
and i think i might be late for lnat. nt too sure since they all say its by 15th jan. oh wells i really hope nt. but they sure are taking long to send me my account details.
anw
YES RACHEL I WILL WILLINGLY MARRY YOU muacks. as long as u say im gorgeous, rem? ahaha. no lah i love youuu. n yes maybe i can go visit u in ny (ahem*money*cough*) we can always dream cant we ;)

throws hands up in frustration

once in a while i lose my direction. my focus. i dont know where im going, where im headed to. i only have a hazy sketch of my final destination, that one pale light flickering in the darkness that envelopes me. somehow the deafening silence in the darkness makes it unbearable, there are times i wanna run away and hide under my blanket.
just had a mini row with my mum. well. apparently she still thinks that science is the only lucrative degree to get if ur overseas.
*breathes.
oh wells. shall see how.

welcome to jy world.

econs tuition today, and we were talkin about normative and positive statements. my tutor asked me to give an example of one normative statement. before i could think of smthg gd, nic said 'jy is pretty.'
i dont like him very much. anw the feeling is mutual isnt it BOO.

then my tutor was talkin about scarcity, and how we have unlimited wants but limited resources. and he was saying unless we venture out into space we will always have this problem.
well. ive just got a new idea to take over the world. *bulb lights up*
okay, space.
shall go over to a nice yellow planet and build up my own empire. shall call it the 'jy world' and only allow ppl who say im pretty to come in. if not they can die(together with nic) on the dying planet called earth. no one shall be allowed to do up their hair so my mane will look the prettiest. its a relative thg, this prettiness thing. anw. ill make it that there will be no height requirements for being an air stewardess(or space stewardess). and the whole world shall be a happy place because im the queen.
oh did i mention. yup. ill be the queen. hail me.
when i have more ideas ill blog. meantime. i wanna run away frm sch.

bon jovi- im all about loving you

stayed back in sch today to study and they plugged in my ipod to the speakers. we were pretty slack at first cos we went com lab for me to do my mas stuff but in the end we did do work lah. we had enough of spice girls and backstreet boys to motivate us.
i nearly missed the deadline for sat. why in the world am i taking sats.
im so tired i feel really drained. i whined alot during tuition just now (haha) cos my stuff kept dropping. haha everytime i move smthg will drop. but rai n eug love me so much they always end up picking it up for me. alvin was tryin to glare at me but hey who has bigger eyes huhh glare wad glare.
and oh i ate a really big dinner haha. banana prata and egg prata. i felt pregnant after tt. so bloated it was quite horrible ahha. but quite funny too cos i wasnt the only one who ate alot ;) rai cldnt finish hers too. its the result of tryin to binge. food therapy is the worst.
anw. we really must work hard. i cant emphasize more. lets all do it together.
btw. i like the tree houses in vjc. dont care if ppl think its weird to have tree houses in schs, but i think whatever it is, its really a nice plc to sit and relax. overlooks the field and you can see abit of blue peeking out from the trees(just imagine its the sea and not the sky) and you'll feel chirpier.
anw now friendster has this new thg where u can check who's visited ur profile right. i think its damn weird lah. but i went to check;) i have ppl frm china checkin me out. woohoo. im a china magnet haha.
im kidding.
but ill refrain from checkin it out in the future. i think i rather be in suspense;) anw all i wanna do on friendster is to upload defamatory pics of my frens up on my profile now that u can have up to 25 pics. i have so many pics of gra may mich lookin funny i swear it'll just upp my visitors by a lot;) but its all too big to upload darn. so too bad. after A's then ill go do.
going back malaysia tmr, and i have to bring hmwk. woohoo. i loveeeee sch.

and so sch starts again.

got back some of our papers today. i cant say im a calm and composed person when gettin back papers, but at least im not the kind to get depressed over results. im not scoring, but at least im still doing okay i guess. will continue to work hard to get the results i wan. still it was depressing to see people around you get all down bcos of results. no one likes gettin lousy results, but rather than sulk or get all gloomy, go do smthg about it. looking sad doesnt help does it. but oh wells my bossy image will come another day, right now i think my fren need a shoulder to lean on. which she did for half the bus journey home ;)
anw me and ba were walkin to the toilet and i was in a silly mood so i was singing 'if ur happy n u noe it blahblah' n i made her clap her hands n stamp her feet. hahaha. n there were ppl walkin in our direction i think they thot we were mad. then we went to wave at the security camera hahaha.
coolstuff.

its time to work hard ;)
cheers!

stomp! see what all the noise is about

i had such a nice day ;)
started it off with lords of dogtown. what a nice movie(helloahemdevilsrejects) i chose. haha. i love watchin street rebels. they're really cool. and i thought stacy was the best ahha. he's so cool yet so dork. he even wears a belt ;) theres just smthg about history that makes me feel strangely inquisitive. besides its amazing how they skate. i cant even blade. kudos;)
then we shopped arnd for prom stuff. wasnt anythg much to see, really. but janice n ba did get to try on some nice stuff. well. im difficult. ;( the guys werent too bad they lasted for bout an hour i think. suits arent very interesting to look at i guess. after a while it all looks the same.
then stomp! with shawn ;) ahha. it was realllyyy gd. and they were hilarious ;) the rhythm was so fantastic i really have no idea how they do it cos it seems random to me but its amazing how they can be in sync. and the energy ;) woohoo. im so gonna irritate everyone tmr by hitting on everythg. clapclap snapsnap stampstamp hithit. ;)

banana pizza with cinnamon ice cream

i must have walked city link at least four times today. i actually spent my whole afternoon there can u believe it ;) well we finally bought presents for jiaxun and bing ;) hey jiax i hope u lk ur new shoes and bing! u can smell the same as britney ;) ahhaa. anw we had a really nice dinner where some ppl *ahem*beloved*ahem*bingy had three desserts. its really amazing i tell you. but it was nice. go check out the new bakerzin at raffles city. im definitely going back there for more desserts. then we walked over to esplanade but i had to leave early cos i didnt wan to stay out too late. being the only child *temporary* makes me feel more responsible towards my parents ;) or maybe its me going out everyday till late.

anw ive just realised how evil ppl can be. my tuition teacher heard bout me applyin to mas and he commented tt his female frens who works there are all single and they cant get married. and nic promptly said tt i wont get married anyway.
slap him.

and ah im so lookin forward to watchin movie tmr ;) i havent gone to movies for a lonng time. but i still wanna watch be with me. darn.

and i bought new specs. ;) they make me look more intellectual. but it'll only be ready in two wks' time.

i have a bad feeling sch is reopening soon. ;(

haha i thot amir looked quite nice in this pic. imagine him in a sarong and a knife. ;) 

rai janice eug. ;) by the koi pond. man. they look so kawaii. 

i love the swing. ;) and hello thats janice.  

my poor head. again. ;) 

mrs koh our maths teacher. she's quite cool. and she likes to roll her eyes. of cos not at us nice girls but at those horrible boys. ;) 

my poor head. ;) 

east coast, my love.

may says it very well.
'welcome to freedom' hahaha.

anw. went out to east coast after that. cant believe everyone was so late. eug and i could actually meet up with u guys when our meeting time (at bedok) was one hour after u guys were suppposed to meet. in the end we werent the latest ;) anw it was really hot day and cycling was really eventful. really interesting. u had no idea how afriad i was that eug wld just cycle on and on. u see, she's the fastest, but thats only because she doesnt know how to stop. ;)
then we had janice's bike's lousy gears. and ba puking up her ice kachang kosong onto the nice, green fluffy grass.
and how the guys claimed not to want to leave the girls behind right after ba puked. then they cycled in front and janice's bike acted up and no one was there to save us. except this really young brave man who came up to us and fixed the bike. before the guys could come back ;) guys these days. hais.
then we headed to parkway just in time before the rain came. we even had time to go isetan to look arnd. liren's really cool he knows disney princesses names. and we're going out again on wed! ahah. its quite nice to hear the class guys say they wan to come with us to help us look at prom stuff haha. at that point of time.. i felt. hm. happy. maybe bcos i felt there was no pretense. dota boys are fun, but they normally talk at a different frequency. at least sports i can understand. gaming, kill, clan, ahha. im a noob ;)

anyways. woohoo. exams are over, at least for now. let me bask in beautiful sunshine and believe that life is still worthwhile.
by having retail therapy;)
enjoy life while u can. haha.

lose ur way and i will find you

yay i just killed a lot of trees. okay they have already died by the time their pulp has been made into paper, but hey. i just printed one metre thick stack of papers worth of maths s solutions which i prob will not get to look at since its such a nice weekend holiday party mood.

and i officially declare myself a tech dino. i just cant send email frm my phone. why why why. i cld do it with my old phone. its the same thg rite?? pfft. and thats because i found the cable for my phone to transfer stuff to my com, but i cant find a hole in my cpu that fits the cable.
dont laugh. the stuff is really weird k u gotta screw it in somehow. hm.

shall go spread my yellow ribbons around ahhaha apparently lucas found a very gd use for it! he ties it arnd his guitar n feels gay about it. haha. hahah.

hee. ;)

one hour later: and im still printing. and why are teachers so smart. they make the stuff unprintable so u gotta sit in front of the com to read it. or actually retrieve it. why arent they com dinos lk me.

hello world.

haha okay.
isnt my blog nice. ;)

oh alrights. so i accidentally deleted my html while tryin to be funky and adventurous. but hey ive always loved polka dots. anyway if the links are wrong or if u wan me to add u pls let me know. i kinda got tired after a while. im so sorry if your name is not up there it will be soon!

cheers.

of diamines and all things nitrogen

i never liked nitrogen. ahha my amide lect notes are still empty. anw chem s today was a like a big load off my shoulders. i kept tellin myself not to get out of the hse too early but i actualy forgot. so i got to sch really early and i couldnt wait for it to start.
now tt its over i dont believe i have to go through everything again.

anw i really want to slp right now. just slp it off. but it sounds lk such a boring thing to do (haha) but there really isnt anything interesting on channel five.

come mon, im so gonna eat down the whole lagoon. muaha.

blame it on the weatherman

im fell in love with dawson's creek's cd. haha. and i didnt even watch a single episode of the series. but the songs are nice. it teaches me to blame everythg on the weatherman. which is quite apt nowadays since its hot then cold then hot then cold. then hot.
anw. evil ppl who are already planning for thurs, rem we have sch.
oh this thurs? nah everyone's stayin at home to share my love for chemistry. yups.

haha. cant wait for prelims to be over. although im sorry its in such a state. but oh wells i did study. i feel smarter alr ;)

anyone knows how to get to west coast? we need to see the other side of the world. cant always get cooped up in our little east coast can we. see we're so adventurous, woohoo.
and of cos, haha. bing u better go do ur research and find out whether its a bar or a lounge. either ways me and may are still gonna go in to check it out! i've waited so long for all u girls to turn eighteen k;)
and movies! and moree movies. hahah. marathon woohoo.
im sorry ah mother i gotta have to havoc a bit since i only have TWO DAYS so i better make sure i make gd use of them. ;)

hello world.

i just woke up frm a nap. ;) my eyes are still hurting. i think they lack oxygen. just lk my brain.
anw yesterday i didnt eat lunch. haha i just couldnt stomach anythg.. so basically i didnt eat anythg for the whole day in sch. may reckons tt now ive got an excuse to why i didnt do well for maths ;). my dear eug got onto my car n promptly told my dad that i didnt eat the whole day. ahha tt got my dad talkin quite a bit.. i was lk 'thanks eugeniaaaaa'. ;) but oh wells she loves me. she doesnt want me to beat her in running after ive grown lighter and faster and more featherweight.

anw. guess wad. i have a twin. i actually found out really recently too. its shocking isnt it.
its all ba's sis' fault. haha.

oh n my hp number is one number after one of my guy's fren's gf's number. and so when i recounted that to my dear fren janice she promptly replied that im the next in line.

shocking.
bye.

interest rates.

alright. econs tuition just ended. no idea why im online but i just wanted to let everyone know that im alive. i was actually having a tummyache throughout the whole tuition, funny how my body works. my body system chose to get twisted two days frm exams. but oh wells it keeps me awake. at least now ill stop taking those time consuming thing called afternoon naps ;)
right now i guess everyone's scrambling for last min revisions. im no exception. but hey. remember to breathe ;) life is much more than just mugging. im not saying we really have an option, 4Fs really looks horrible, but... theres a reason to everythg that you do. why do I want good grades. why did i wanted to take bio chem econs maths.
i want to be able to get into whatever faculty i want to. i want to be the one choosing the uni, not they choose me (ha). i dont want two yrs of jc life going to waste just because of me being slack or lazy. theres always my parents to think of. not just face, really, its for all the meals my mum cooked for me and all the times my dad had to wake up earlier just to send me to sch, or to pick me up frm sch, so that i didnt have to squeeze onto buses with stinky guys. i want to show ppl that my brains do work ;) that im capable of much more than just mugging. you learn so much more that way. of course i was never gd at memorising anyway. (thats why my bio is the way it is)(which is nthg to be proud of).
but i really am having problems just coping with doing well so there. but no stress :) my mum can justify for tt. i take it quite easy at home. at most i work it out by exercising. by jogging. on the spot.
cool huh.
i was kidding.
;) nite. im making no sense.
take care my beloved frens! see i can be nice and sweet too :)

buzzword:hows studying

which is really a silly question since we all, being intelligent subjects of singapore education system knows that stuyding is not only enjoyable but its really beneficial to the brain and to mental health. after vigorous stimulation of the brain through rigorous reading and maybe making notes, for the more hardworking ones, your brain functions better not only at making out words but also at inducing sleep.
im only passin time here while bock asks me silly qns bout bio. heh.
alrights nite.

say its me that you adore, for now and ever more. thats all. thats all.

i was about to come online and tell everyone that i went MAS today and it got me thinking even harder about doing well for prelims which isnt a nice thought because ive been takin so many afternoon naps and how i got stuck at the 30th floor with one of their scholars when the venue was changed to 16th floor and how its all gonna be so soon if i gonna apply for provisional scholarship and interview will be nxt month but either ways i dont think ill get shortlisted i think they're looking for 4As during prelims which i obviously wouldnt have if not i wld nt be here and wld be the second youngest kid into nus.

then i plugged on my ipod. and i heard michael buble. ;) 'i can only give you love that last forever.... '
*swoons*
who needs scholarships when uve got michael.

i spent ten hours in sch. ;)

haha. dont ask me why, but rai said she wld be in sch early in the morn and i agreed to meet her. and we meant before 730. so we went cycling in the morn! felt really gd cycling along east coast, reliving everything i had forgotten i love, the cool sea breeze, the lovely coastline, looking at people frm all walks of lives (and dogs too) and of cos haha u get to see army guys running. smirks:D
and we cycled and talked for an hr. ;)
met a lady frm india (we think shes some govt official or smthg she had a badge) who kept calling us 'sisters' and wanted to take pictures with us. what to do we're such lovable girls ;)
anw louser eugenia cldnt wake up early and met us late. then we went classroom hopping. nt that we really wanted to, but ppl kinda chased us out. yes. yr ones still have lessons. although i heard the attendance today was really bad.. oh wells wads new. have you met my classmates? (ans: no, they dont come sch.)

we kept finding things to laugh about while studying. rai really perks up anyone's day when shes in a crappy mood ;) love tt girl! though shes the butt of all our teasing.. she says funny thgs. n its even funnier when she talks to eug cos eug cant catch any of her jokes :) lk:
eug "oh man rai u crack me up!"
rai "haha i know, im a nutcracker!" (implying eug's the nut she cracks.haha.if you dont get it dont worry u have to talk to rai a few times to go to her level of thinking..)
and lots more.

i lk it when it rains. the weather's great, n if ur indoors it makes u feel very cosy. maybe its relative thg,but hey if it makes u feel gd why nt ;) maybe bcos it makes u feel safe. frm all the pouring rain and strong wind. ur safe indoors and u can do whatever you want to do cos ppl wont be knocking at ur door(they'll be hiding indoors too!) anw the best days when i was young were always those spent at home when its raining. u get to do all the nice thgs u dont get to do on normal days. haha. lk erm, art. crafts.
how nice if i dont have to study and i can do art everyday.
