the weather these days is damn shiok. i can actually survive in my room without turning on the fan or aircon. it's even more shiok over at my grandparents' place. the other night when i stayed over, they warned me not to open both the window and the door because i'll just freeze to death through the night. thinking they were exaggerating, i opened just 3 inches of the sliding window and booooy, it was freezing cold lah! the wind kept howling through the night but i was too lazy to get up and close the window.

anyway, i hope the cool weather lasts. but i doubt.

was supposed to swim with dee today but both of us got lazy heh. it was so nice and cold, perfect to laze around in bed. was woken up by ly's sms instead: "aaahhh! i just met jonathan leong!" this week is like jonathan leong week or something. saw him twice in school, strutting around, looking a bit too skinny bahaha. and after not blogging for 7 months, miss lyanna wong revived her blog just to blog about her encounter with him. amazing. champion. she win.

on the topic of champions, i think porks, gun and i have won the title for champions of not going for elang lectures. sigh. peter ~~pan~~tan is just dreadfully boring. and the content is like HUUUH?? it's amazing how he can sound so passionate and earnest about the history of english and yet, it comes out so boring. but he's just so cute. he came into lecture that day (which we amazingly went for but left halfway - hungry laaah! hehh) with his little green, old bagpack slung around his shoulder and in his hand, he carried two little baos! he caught us looking at him and he gave this little boy smile. aiiiyooo so cuuute (cute as in ugly but adorable kinda way haha). i hope he has a happy family and his wife doesn't bully him - he looks so bully-able.

enough talk about him. it's time to listen to all the elang webcasts i've skipped.

Selamat pagi! Saya sedang belajar bahasa indonesia di sekolah dan menarik sekali.
(translation: good morning! i'm learning bahasa indonesia in school and it's very intersting!)

haha yes, school has officially started now that tutorials have kicked in.
if i'm willing to pay someone $20 to bid for my modules, then i'm willing to add in another $80 to get my desired tutorial slots. balloting sucked and sucks and will always suck. the trauma we went through just to get that 10-12 bahasa tutorial.... (which we ended up still not getting)shudders. oh well, anything for that 3day week.

I hereby declare that THIS WILL BE THE LAST ECONS MATERIAL I'LL EVER TOUCH IN MY WHOOOLE ENTIRE LIFE! - written by me on Sunday, October 29, 2006

well, i'm glad that the declaration still holds for this sem. it's just new media, bahasa indo, sociology of family, evaluating health claims and historial variation of english. gosh, they're all so diverse and don't seem to be linked to each other. in any case, i think i'm just gonna end up majoring in new media. back to 4-years-ago plan A which i abandoned in favour of JC.

time for some random photos which i edited instead of listening to elang webcast.

celebrated ly's birthday at teoheng! her birthday kicked start this year's "plan your own birthday" theme. we ran out of fun, explosive and interesting birthday surprises so for this year, the birthday girl gets to choose what she wants to do and we ended up at one of our favourite places: TEO HENG!

after yummilicious mala, we sneaked into a neoprint booth and took photos with our own camera! FOC and fun ;)

Bidding truly sucks.
I think Porks and I changed and came up with enough timetables to last us till our third year. Pffff.
I would loooooooove to pay someone to bid (successfully) + come up with a 3day week timetable for me next sem.

2006-12-30T22:09:00.000+08:00

Most probably the last post of the year since I seriously doubt that I'll be blogging tmr heh

It has been a wonderful and brilliant year, what with the 8 months break after the dreadful A's. It was especially a year of first time-s: setting up an online business with the girls, going overseas (Hong Kong and Taiwan) with ly and porks - last year's batam not counted cos it didn't involve an aeroplane haha, spreeing online (this invention rocks, makes buying things from overseas so much cheaper!) working with adorable kids (meeh I miss Noah, Celeste and the twins), relief teaching at Coral Sec, giving tuition, learning how to use the lighter (haha! not really, since I cheated and used the simpler kind), bidding for modules (major PUI!), studying in uni, being horribly sick during an exam (miraculously, I scored an A- for SSA and B for SEA. Thank you God sooooooo much! Truly a miracle) and lastly, going on a holiday with dee!

'Twas a great year indeed.
Here's to a greater year ahead, cheeeeers! =)

2006-12-06T13:10:00.000+08:00

4th of Dec marks the weirdest exam experience in my life.
Firstly, I was sick like shit. I think it was a mix of lack of breakfast, my leaky nose, giddiness and the effect of taking medication that made me felt pukish during both papers. So what the hell, I really wrote shit. My head was on the table 3/4 the time and I think I wasted more time wiping my nose than writing. But while "writing", I found myself praying and praying and praying so maybe a miracle might pull through? I really hope so.

Secondly, there was this 45min delay to the start of our SSA paper so instead of having a 2-hour break before our SEA paper, we only had a 1hour break. But for some strange and amazing reason, the school felt that they need to "compensate" the 1 hour they ate up so they allowed the 3 of us to take our SEA paper at a later time. And so began our little adventure. We were chauffeured to the cultural house (which looks nothing like the old nus buildings), had a huge meeting room to ourselves, had lunch served to us for free, had people running around taking tissue paper for us, opening the curtains for us in case it was too dark to us to study, then chauffeured to another venue for us to take our paper privately. It was such a weird experience. In porky's words, if only I wasn't feeling sick, I would have enjoyed it a lot more.

Heh so this horrible/weird exam experience marks the end of sem1! Wooohoooooooo

2006-11-29T22:17:00.000+08:00

Three down, two more papers to go!

Just before our Econs paper, guess what happened?
WETSEAL HAD A SALE!
Woohoooo! A bit of online retail therapy was realllly good.
Until it came to a point where I was a tad stressed about which top to get.
There were so many! And all were going for US$10. So cheap! Compared to F21!

Sigh, choosing really sucks! I finally settled on the first top while Dee and Porks got the last two tops respectively. All so nice! If only I had more money, I would have bought two! Pui, but gotta save money for BATAM!

And for the first time EVER, Dee's going on a holiday with us!

And so I have decided to rebond my hair after debating over whether to perm or rebond it.
Now the question is, what length should I cut it? Uploaded 3 photos so you all can vote (idea stolen from christine chen chairman heheh) via the tagboard!

(for some strange reason, my hair only looks neat in photos taken with the SAC gang so all the photos have them in it! haha)

Wahahahahahaha I'm baaaack! Decided to revive this defunct blog cos I've realised that I have a really sucky brain that forgets things very easily, especially when it comes to significant (not THAT significant to my brain huh) stuff. Thus, this blog shall serve as my diary/photo log

Since the last time I blogged, I've started uni and bidded like siao/suffered many heart and anxiety attacks to get my 2-days alternative week. Sounds amazing ah, really hope we'll get this kind of timetable next sem and for many more sems to come! And because the 4 of us are in all the same modules, we don't really break out of our tiny clique and make friends. How tragic. Ok lah, so there ARE a handful of friends around but it's different from sec/jc days when you're stuck with the same bunch of people for at least 2 years. In uni, you only see them once every 2 weeks and this goes on for less than 4 mths before a new sem starts and you get new classes. How to be buddy buddy with people like that?? We're so pathetic hahaha

I was reading my previous posts and in every 3-5 posts, there'll be a post complaining about Econs. And guess what one of my five modules is! Yes, it's the DREADED YUCKEEDOOO ECONS! It's all gunniee's fault, she and her passion haha. Ok lah, not really her fault since there were no other modules that could fit into our lovely timetable but she snidely sneaked that thought into our heads! In any case, I hereby declare that THIS WILL BE THE LAST ECONS MATERIAL I'LL EVER TOUCH IN MY WHOOOLE ENTIRE LIFE! I hope I didn't just jinx myself heh.

Ok lah, I'm quite tired of my ramblings. Im such a lousy blogger, tire so quickly. Photos time!

My birthday
It's the time of the year when I turn 19 and my friends sneak and whisper around me, planning my birthday. It's so much more fun to plan someone's birthday instead of not knowing anything. Maybe that's why I tried means and ways to get one of them to let slip the surprise. In the end, it wasn't just one who let slipped parts of the surprise but it was THREE of them! Wahahaha booboo to gun, dee and porks!
Anywayyyy, they were supposed to surprise me at the Zoo but since gun and dee boobooed the location to me, I was spared to evil blindfold! heheheh

On our long and trecherous journey to the zoo, we were introduced to dee's new and ugly pet, Igee the sloth. And because we loooooove Igee so much, we had a competition for the most loving shot with Igee. Igee was so wonderfully popular that a SBS uncle who drove past stopped the bus, shouted through the bus door and asked where we bought Igee from!

But due to his over popularity, eveeeeeryone was fighting to hold Igee and in the midst of a struggle, Igee flew from our hands, landed on the cold hard floor of Ang Mo Kio MRT station and...........

After a minute of silence from everyone, Igee was stuffed back into gun's bag and our adventure at the zoo began!

the lovely picnic the girls prepared! old school food!

us with the lovely and cute train driver!

The revival of Igee

When we got to the penguin section, one of us realised that the penguins actually do look like Igee! And so out came Igee to meet his fellow friends and indeed, they were incredibly happy to see Igee! This whole big flock of penguins would follow wherever Igee went, if Igee went up the glass, the whole flock of penguins' eyes would follow Igee up! Damn hilarious!

And the grand finale. They blindfolded me to Harbourfront and I think I spoilt part of their surprise when my nose detected the smell of Harbourfront hahaha
In anycase, they collaborated with Zhisheng and the grand finale was a cable car ride with him! The ride was fun, scenery was just so-so, motionsickness was slowly overtaking me - I don't understand how anyone can skydine on the cablecar, it's so shaky!

Now for more recent photos.....
After the dreadful Elang test
The test was really dreadful so we decided to treat ourselves to a porridge buffet at Suntec!

Poor gunniee, her lovely photos exposed all over the web. Haha but I chose the not-so-bad ones just in case she kills me.

once again, bullied by us haha. We stole her bag from her toilet cubicle and left her talking to herself in the toilet. We then left her bag in the middle of nowhere and went to hide. Poor gun, she looks so traumatised in that photo haha

YUUUUM look at all that food!
And just after two rounds within 1 hour, we were damn full! And it was only 12 in the afternoon! So where else can we head to at 1pm but..............

2.5 solid hours of Wang Li Hong and Jay Chou in a row. It was at the 3.5 hour that we finally moved on to English songs haha

Dee and I searched the whole room for the missing microphone and guess where we found it!

IN PORKY CHEN'S BAG!!! She's so gross lah! Trying to steal the microphone! Tsktsktsk

Ok this is a really long post considering the fact that I haven't blogged for more than 5 months
Till the next time!

2006-04-25T18:20:00.000+08:00

it has been a long while!
have been so occupied by relief teaching, tutoring, kumon-ing and beau monde projects that i have forgotten all about this poor li'l blog.
not that i'm complaining, kinda enjoy doing them.. well, maybe except tuition heheh. my tuition kid is just... URRRRGGGHHH. (i mean she doesn't know how to pronounce words like burglar and decidED and can't spell experiment even though this word appeared in her science textbook like what, 75873247329 times??)

coral has been quite fun and well, enriching.
it's not everyday when you learn that sec 1(13-YEAR-OLD) - sec 5 boys still play catching in class.
what to do if they don't listen? well, join them then.
not in catching lah, but just sit there and laugh.
and it's really funny and bewildering as to how the students think that porks and i are sisters.
wahahahahhahahahahahha oh puhleeeese do we even look remotely alike??
and and and!! punggol is no longer safe!!!!
porks stayed over the night before pigpig's bday and we thought it was safe to venture out in safe, li'l ulu punggol in our maid wear ie biiiig biggg teees and ratty shorts.
but we were horribly wrong!!!!
this sec 4 boy came up to us a few days later - with this total i'm-so-sniggering-but-i-shall-be-discreet face - and told us that he AND HIS FRIENDS saw us at punggol plaza!!
-faints and dies- there goes our reputation.

on the business side, our first beau monde project has gone rather well!
made a 3-figure sum profit so i hope the future and upcoming ones will do even better!
do support us =D

leaving you with some random photos!

2006-03-20T23:58:00.000+08:00

Super tiring day!!
Rushed down to Coral Sec after they woke me up at 7.45.
Rushed some more when I couldn't find a replacement for my night shift at CC.
So I had to abandon porks, ly, pigpig and ame, rushed home in a cab, grab my uniform from my daddy and ruuuuuuuushed again to harbour front.
And I was so sleepy laah.

I shall go collapse and die now.
Night world.

Thank you God
for my results. Even though BBC might be average, I was really expecting a DEO or worse.

Thank you God
for the wonderful, miraculous 4-grade jump for my Econs. I have NEVER, EVER smelt a pass for that irritating subject but God blessed me with a B. Wow. Up till now, I still find myself taking out the result slip to check if that B is really there

Thank you God
for my Lit grade. Was super duper worried about this subject, esp Paper 1 since my average grade for that paper in JC2 was an O or E.

Thank you God
for my studying buddies aka BKBM - Dee, Ly and Porks. Our results (esp Dee's heh) are able to prove to everyone out there that studying out in groups aren't neccessarily a bad thing ;)

2006-03-01T01:29:00.000+08:00

D-day tmr, D-day tmr, D-day tmr, D-day tmr, D-day tmr!
Aaaahhh this is killing me.
If Miss K sends a message before the results saying that it's not a 100% pass for lit, I'll panic. Like seriously panic.

Had a lot of nervous gas in me during work today.
Was grinning like a stupid retard during the first 2hours because I was just so bloody uptight.
And now I have to watch what I say here cos MR FAUZAN is reading this and he's just gonna make fun of whatever I say here during work.
HELLO MR FAUZAN aka blog stalker!!

Booboo I can't believe I'm working tomorrow. Aaaahh, it's just like O levels, where Joyce, Crystal and I rushed to work after collecting our results.
I just hope that I'll be going to work happily, the way I went to work 2 years ago.

2006-02-19T22:20:00.000+08:00

BKBM's online shop is officially open!

Do visit it and be a dear by linking us up with one of the banners =)

Just 3 more weeks to our HK trip!
I'm getting so excited that I actually had 2 dreams about it last night.
Hohohohoho.
I'm just hoping that the results will not dampen our spirits, bleeh.

Now that Jonathan has officially gone mad (only TWO teachers on the busiest day??), my Wed afternoons and nights might actually be free.
But I'm gonna miss the kids so so sooo much!
Especially Noah. My goodness, if you told me 2 months ago that Noah was going to be the one I'll miss the most, I would have laughed my ass off.
I mean, with his SUPER high-pitch number-counting voice and his inability to tell the difference between "sweet" and "juicy" after I have repeated "juicy" 20times, strangling him would have been a better option.
But after his loud, open acknowledgement of me (that boy is known for not talking at all except when he has to count numbers/read his homework) and the little conversation I had with him that day.... whoa, that boy can really make my heart melt.
Aaahh and now I probably will not be teaching majority of the pre-schoolers anymore cos I don't teach them on Sat.
Biiiig BOOBOO to Jonathan!

2006-01-27T23:32:00.000+08:00

I'm getting quite worried about my eating habits and weight.
You see, every morning, I wake up at 10+, 11am, laze around and wait for lunch time to come by because there's either no food at home or I'm too fussy.
This means that I have effectively missed the most important meal of the day! Woohoo!
Lunch time comes along. I eat. But there are exceptions.
Scenario 1: swimming and tanning with Dee. That means I only eat at 2+, 3+.
Scenario 2: I have work at either Kumon or Coffee Club which usually start between 4-6. So if I have my lunch at 12+,1+, I won't have any appetite for "dinner" at 4+.
And because I work through dinner time, this means that I don't eat dinner at the proper time!
Even if I do eat dinner, they aren't exactly full, proper meals because my stomach simply isn't used to being stuffed with food at 11pm (doesn't really help by the fact that I probably "filled" my stomach with junk food cooked by the Coffee Club cooks during work time)

So there.
How to put on weight like this???
And my meal times are so screwed, I think I might get my gastric spells again.
BOOBOO!
How now brown cow?

Anyways, our HK trip has been booked! Clap clap clap!
(sorry Liz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Just pray that our results won't be coming out like the day before or something.

Joyce, Denise and Lynda: Thank you for scouring TM for my lighter! You guys are so sweet!!

Happy Birthday Ly!!

Night shift at Coffee Club + same shift as Dee + Shirley as supervisor = A LOT more fun than the day shift when the restaurant is usually full.
Yesterday was super duper slack with less than 20 customers at Coffee Club.
Everyone, including the kitchen staff, was hanging around the bar counter, eating the fries and beef bolognese with fried fish which the kitchen staff very nicely offered to cook, laughing at Dee's burnt face, eeee-ing over Chai's burst blister and playing with Dee's aloe vera.

Oh by the way! I was at the MOE website (don't ask why heh) and guess who I saw on the layout?? Esther Lai!! Hohohoho you all should check out her photo ;)

Sole purpose of blogging today is to declare my utmost, deeeeeepest respect for Math teachers.
After marking 3 students' Sec 1/2 Math homework today, I really really wanted to die and I gratefully accepted the new pile of English assignments from Anne.
I don't understand how Dee can revive her love for Math from all the crazy 28x2 +(x2y)3
Can totally feel myself going cross-eyed.
Thank God those 3 students had neat handwriting.
So how on earth do these Math teachers do it??
100 over assignments to mark assuming they each teach 3 classes and half of the students have horrible handwriting.
Craaaaazy.
Question of the year: so how on earth did Mr Robb mark all of 3/4 + 3/5 +3/7 assignments within 1-2 days?
I salute all you Math teachers out there!

Ok, I'm gonna concuss now. 9 hours worth of Kumon is really madness.

Looking forward to BKBM tomorrow =)

P.S: I still can't use the damn lighter. It's getting quite worrying haha

work at kumon: packing assignments> mind-numbing. packing the shelves> tiring. marking homework> able to feel my brain degenerating. but working with the kids definitely offsets all the suck-iness. they're all so adorable!! they do the cutest things and say the sweetest things in their little high pitch voices. it's so fun just sitting there, watching them.

work at coffee club: tiring. and really boring when there are no customers. but it's a lot more fun working with dee. heheh so from now on, deedee, wo gen ding ni le ;) heh kidding, that sounded so psycho and... PORKY CHEN-like! -screams.

speaking of which. i really need to learn how to use the lighter!!! almost got into trouble with this customer who got pissed because i didn't light up their chocolate fondue. heheh thank god dee was there to help me by listening to the guy's complains while i hid in a corner (well, not literally).
best thing was, after his endless complains, he ended up with a wet crotch cos he spilled water all over himself. WAHAHAHA. and he was wearing beige pants! hohohohoho

anyways. that isn't the main point. the main point is, i REALLY need to learn how to use the lighter!! aaahh!! but i'm scared of fire. and i can't possibly ALWAYS avoid serving the fondue right? unless someone knows of somewhere that sells lighters where the fire erm, "shoots out" faaaar away from the finger? heh, you know, not those kind where you have to turn the bloody roller thingy and then press the whatever it's called. fire's too close!!
right. so if anyone knows, please help!!

Greetings from Hong Kong!!!!!
It's so damn cold here that my family has resorted to buying gloves.
Wahahaha such losers! Nobody else is wearing gloves!! My goodness.
Food has been great so far (duh!) - Porks! I had my first round of xiao long baos!! Even took photos for you ;)
And thought of dearest Ly as I ate my porridge!
And of course Dee when I saw the WZBQW DVD. Only $25!! Should have gotten that huh? Poopoo.

Anyways,I'm off now. Other hotel guests are waiting for the comp. And I'm hungry!!!
Hopefully the shops are not closed yet.. But it's 11.30pm.. Pui..
See you all sooooon!!!

2005-12-12T19:54:00.000+08:00

I'm gonna start work at Coffee Club tomorrow!
-screams-
Dee and I are on different shifts!!
-screams-
That means I will have to walk into coffee club alone!!
-screams-
Who on earth am I supposed to look for??
-screams-

What a horrible nightmare.

2005-11-30T01:28:00.000+08:00

New layout featuring Kahlen (from America's Next Top Model)!
I'm pretty pleased for managing to restrain myself from making a SJH/Dang Ou/MingDao/WZBQW layout heheheh.
=)

The A levels have ended.
Unbelievable.
Think the realisation hasn't really set in yet.
Keep thinking that I have to study.
But the realisation that I DON'T have to study anymore is such perfect bliss.

Btw, no more links, tagboard, photo links etc cos... weeell, while I was making the layout, I completely forgot about leaving space for those stuff so, erm, yeah. No more all that. Wanna tag, use the comment box.

And once again, I'm speaking incoherently. Shall blog another time.
cannot.function.at.1am.in.the.morning.
Bataaam here we cooome!!

a little tribute to the man who has been...

2005-11-17T22:06:00.000+08:00

... sending my dearest BKBM friends and myself into a frenzy.
How we'll
rush home after a paper to watch him on TV,
abandon our studying spot at the airport (and betray the BKBM pact) and end up house-hopping just so that there'll be a tv in front of us by 7 o'clock,
melt at his *twitch twitch, i'm gonna smile* smile and his outstretched arms to ask for a hug,
cry and sniffle at his heart-wrenching, oh-soooh-sweed words,
fight over who he belongs to (erm, that's between Dee and Porky, I'm not involved ;) )
And the ultimate: how we almost changed our after-exams schedule to fit shanjunhao-watching into our schedule!

OH MY GOODNESS.
I can so totally imagine this in my head right now.
In ten years time, the 4 of us are gonna sit around some table and laugh at how crazy we are right now...

Wahahaha. Madness.

3 more papers = 9 more hours of crap.
then it'll be over!

2005-10-14T23:07:00.000+08:00

I bought my prom dress!!!
=)

2005-10-05T16:42:00.000+08:00

Life has been generally a-ok even though studying is taking up all my time.

Firstly, I would like to thank God for giving me the results which I prayed for (except for Econs and Lit but oh never mind).
And the wonderful friends he has given me.
Especially on my birthday =)

Ame, Ash, Dee, Liz, Ly, Pigpig and Porky:
Thank you so so so much for the memorable journey of memories/adventure on my birthday! (except for the chinese bit. For the benefit of a certain blind porky chen, I DID NOT LIKE THE CHINESE BIT!)
Thank you for the perfume.
And the ban mian.
And the tehcino at simpang.
And the teo heng.
And the delicious feast at 85.
And the yummylicious tiramisu (thanks to Ly).
And the great company.
And porky for embarassing herself for the sake of entertaining us.
And the stayover.
And to Dee for the gorgeous earrings and holder-thingy ;)
Love you all!

Crystal, Denise, Dy, Jiaxuan, Joyce, Sue:
Thank you for C-Jade.
And the yummylicious almond-apple cheesecake.
And the fun company.
And Sims2!
Love you all too!!

Babe:
Thank you for the Birkies.
And the yummy Mac fries and McSpicy Double.
Although it was just a meal at Macs, it didn't matter cos I still had a great time
(and it fulfilled my Mac fries craving - eating BK fries almost everyday for 1month is no joke)

And now the mugging begins.
In exactly 50 days, this nightmare will be over and we can all embark on fulfilling our dreams and fantasies.

My dear BMBK girls, here's to Batam, Hong Kong, $50 Levis jeans, pretty prom dresses, Polo tees, cheap seafood, dimsum, DISNEYLAND, GuessWho?, authentic Hong Kong porridge, hearing Porky's name being called out over the airport tannoy to retrieve her lost passport and all the fun we'll have after this =)

Just 50 more days of BK and BanMian.

2005-09-16T20:45:00.000+08:00

Today marks the first time I've ever cried over an exam.
No words can describe how I felt after the paper.
Heartpain.
Anger.
Disappointment.
Self-reproachment.
Shock.
Porky and I, we had 20 beautifully written, super detailed Econs essay outline.
If only we didn't listen to him and focus on those topics (which did not come out at all) and abandon our outlines which he deemed 'useless' and 'sure won't come out one'.
Hellooo. Forex and market structure??
Should have worked harder.

The amount of time we spent on Econs and the essays..
All we wanted was a pass.
A pass we have never gotten before -sniffsniff-

2005-09-10T19:11:00.000+08:00

Oooh ooh ooh!

Look at what I found at my short little shopping trip at Holland V.
Anna Sui's Secret Wish!
Looove the smell =)
And the packaging's gorgeous.
And and and!!
I want the new Ipod Nano!
And and and!
I need a new camera.
Boohoohooo.
My trusty li'l camera for the past 3 -4years has finally failed me.

And I must be blogging a lot for Joyce to think that prelims are over.
Julie's Random Theory II: Julie blogs more during exam period.

And she's pretty much entitled to have a super bratty and greedy-ish entry
since she spent 3hours++ studying lit without talking more than 10 full sentences to anyone.
Ask Dee.
Think Julie scared her.

Julie's Random Theory

2005-09-08T20:01:00.000+08:00

Want to know whether your friend's boyfriend is a gentlemen?
Scene: You are entering the lift/boarding the bus/going through a door with your friend and her boyfriend.
Scenario 1: Your friend goes up/in first. The boyfriend goes up/in right behind her, leaving you to hold the lift or door for them.
Significance? He's probably not a gentlemen.
Scenario 2: Your friend goes up/in first. But the boyfriend steps aside and allows you to go first.
Significance? He's probably a gentlemen.

Such a nonsense theory.
But it popped into my head when I was doing Production & Cost at 6.30 am this morning.
Well, mine's probably not one since he finds great pleasure in making sure I get off the bus last.
So sweet of him that evil goon hohohoho.

Of all the things I've believed in

I just want to get it over with

Tears form behind my eyes

But I do not cry

Counting the days that pass me by

I've been searching deep down in my soul

Words that I'm hearing

are starting to get old

It feels like I'm starting all over again

The last three years were just pretend

And I said,

Goodbye to you

Goodbye to everything I thought I knew

You were the one I loved

The one thing that I tried to hold on to

I still get lost in your eyes

And it seems that I can't live a day without you

Closing my eyes and you chase my thoughts away

To a place whereI am blinded by the light

But it's not right

And it hurts to want everything

and nothing at the same time

I want what's yours

and I want what's mine

I want you

But I'm not giving in this time

And when the stars fall

I will lie awake

You're my shooting star

-Goodbye to You by Michelle Branch

Tomorrow's the (unofficial) last day of school =)
And our last day as a class of eleven.

a dream-like week

2005-08-20T23:47:00.000+08:00

[edit] Refer to this blog for a more comprehensive guide to amanda the goon's adventures [/edit]

Sleeping 6hours a day is so not my thing.
Was supposed to meet Zhisheng in town at 6 last night
so when I got home from school at around 4, I realised I could afford a 15-30mins nap.
But what happened?
I ended up sleeping til 6.30!!
That means my alarm rang from 4.30-6.30 without me hearing anything!
Craaazy.
And I missed today's utopia mock exam!
Paper started at 8 and I only woke up at 8.40.
Goodness.
And I really wanted to have that practice lah.

Tuition at mac was weird too.
Pigpig was possessed by the porky-spirit, which is seriously scary.

"I'll surely get in (to Campus Superstar) lor!

I mean I have all the superstar qualities.

*with a SUPER DUPER smug look*

Some more I so pretty!!!"

And she almost robbed the poor whitesands toilet of its toilet paper.

-faints-
And porky has an admirer aka the Whitesands mac manager.
(check him out marn, he's SO hot sniggersniggersnigger)

hi, can i maDe friends with u??

number: 8*******

xxRyan

We've got our future mapped out if we fail our A's.

Porky and I will open a wedding-planner shop.

We'll be the wedding planners.

Ame will be our in-house photographer.

Ash will be our wedding singer/entertainer.

Liz will be our legal consultant/lawyer to patent our ideas.

And pigpig will blow balloons.

Good plan eh?

Have this sudden urge to play Sims2.

But I don't have the programme -pouts-

2005-08-06T06:25:00.000+08:00

Was looking through the sites on my Favourites.
These are the kind of stuff I wanna do/learn.
(click for full image)

2005-08-04T22:30:00.000+08:00

What a week it has been.
All the sleepless nights, anxious phonecalls, heartpain, tears, shock, rushed-homework, late-night house visiting, helplessness and heart-to-heart talks.
It sucked for all of us.
All culminating into this week.
Really pray that next week would be a better week.
And that the week will end off nicely tomorrow.

Have you ever been in love
Been in love so bad
You'd do anything
To make them understand
Have you ever had someone
Steal your heart away
You'd give anything, oh
To make them feel the same
Have you ever searched for words to get you in their heart
But you don't know what to say
And you don't know where to start

(we'll be here for you friend, you know who you are)

Dee's birthday

2005-07-04T21:59:00.000+08:00

da birthday girl on her way to her 'surprise'!

us at the kbox place aka the cheat-your-money place

the dim sum geeers

2005-07-03T20:36:00.000+08:00

Wheeee look who's back!

Ok, after typing that sentence, I've lost all urge to blog.
Ooops?
=D

Nice song >>

Sweet lyrics (a bit on the cheesy side heh), sad-sounding tune and an even sadder music video.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEEEEEEE!!!!!!
Hope you like that li'l message from the owner of Anake restaurant!
-wink wink-
Looking forward to a day of kboxing tomorrow!

2005-06-10T11:42:00.000+08:00

New layout.
Lizzie, can you view my blog properly now?
Are all the alignments etc alright on everyone's comp?

I think my designing skills are deteriorating.
(If I had any in the first place bahaha)
I need to practice.
But I need time too.

Anyways.
The HTML coding and all gave me a headache so I'm off.
Ta.

Er.

2005-06-05T19:40:00.000+08:00

Can someone explain to me how
a headache and a swollen eye
equate to being
PREGNANT??

That was one hell of a paranoid doctor lah.
Goodness, I was so shocked by that question.
Now I know how Ame felt haha.
I think we went to the same doctor my dear pizza friend!

Topshop sale was quite fun =)
Felt overly overwhelmed when we first stepped into the shop.
So many brightly coloured clothes and frenzied ladies/girls/aunties rushing towards them.
And I got the Topshop version of Birkies!
Hahahaha so cheapskate eh?

5times cheaper than Birkies.
But they looked nice anyways.
=)

Mine looks something like this:

2005-06-02T21:06:00.000+08:00

I hate it when I have my period.
Cos my mood will swing from Pasir Ris to Boon Lay and right back to Pasir Ris.
Sometimes it'll take a coffee break at City Hall and then it'll start swinging to wherever it wants to go. (Period makes me say stupid stuff because all the blood goes down there and not to the brain.)
It's irritating how I get affected by small, little things that people do, whether it's intentional or unintentional.

As put by Liz, I'm tired of reality.
I wanna escape.
Jump onto a plane and flllly away to some foreign land.
I need a vacation.
Technically, I DO have one right now.
But I can't enjoy it.
It's so depressing.
All these teachers going "Oh, you cannot afford to go overseas. Yada yada yada."
Ugh.

Thank God for Topshop/Topman's member sale tomorrow.
Shall enjoy that few hours of retail therapy with Ly, Liz and possibly Dee.
Nobody shall and will annoy me/piss me off.

And I just found out why I haven't been receiving emails for the past week or two.
Cos my stupid filter was set to high mode.
Rolls eyes.
Sorry Sarah, could you send me that email again? wahahahaha

2005-05-30T18:26:00.000+08:00

I'm officially brain-dead after 6 hours of GP and Lit p8 today.
It was SO horrible.
Only had 6 hours of sleep last night.
AND we had the exams in the super hot and humid classrooms,
with the fans droning above me
and the tiny water sprinkler making psst psst noises outside.
Irritating.

Yesterday marked the 5th time that I watched Armaggedon.
And also the 5th time that I cried over the show.
But the amount of tears have decreased lah.
I'm not such a crybaby k.
Ok, actually I am.
Tear so easily. Goodness.

Should I join the Hangten t-shirt design competition?
Haha in a desperate bid to build up my portfolio.
And I wanna go shoooping.
Do you think Birkenstock's taking part in the GSS?
=D

2005-05-27T21:36:00.000+08:00

Haha, the past two days were dedicated to love-the-school activities.
Went for the choir concert yesterday with Ame, Ash, Liz, Pigpig, Porky and Theo.
It was not bad.
Would had been better if certain MJCians observed some proper concert etiquette.
It's a choir concert at Victoria Concert Hall, not a bloody Jay Chou concert at the Indoor Stadium.
Anywaaays, walked a veeeeeery long walk to the jazz bar after the concert.
Our heels were killing us lah.
Ended up at coffee bean and was cheated off my sunrise cos a certain porky didn't want to help me buy one.
And THEN! Was cheated once again by the silly pigs' 'reverse psychology' and ended up at simpang bedok at 12midnight to eat yummy-licious prata.

And it was the historical soccer match the night before (er, no I'm not talking about the Liverpool vs AC Milan match).
MJC BEAT VJC!!!!!
Not bad eh?
We, the little nimkamputs with only 2years of history actually beat defending champions VJC and other schools like NJC and RJC =)
Wooohoooo.
It was damn exciting lah.
Cheered like mad in our little corner (faaaaaaar away from the loud drums and pails), like we just got tripleAs for our Alevel results.
And the MJC crowd was mad I tell you.
For the entire 2 1/2 hours, they were cheering non-stop.
The most nerve wrecking part came when it boiled down to a penalty shootout.
So there we were, holding our breaths and holding our hands together as we watched the players take their turns one by one. (Aman almost broke me and Porky's hands lah haha)
And when the last MJC player scored the deciding goal, it was pure euphoria!
All of us were jumping around, hugging each other as if we were the ones playing haha.
This also marked another historical moment: everyone sang the school song for the first time.
And we got a full day off today, thanks to the soccer boys =)
They played really really well.

Well, was supposed to study today at starbucks.
But!
We ended up at downtown east to play pool.
But those anal people wanted to check our IC and pigpig didn't bring hers.
Fine, so we decided to play Xbox instead.
But!
Another bunch of anal people wanted our IC again!
Fine, bishi bashi then.
But one of my buttons wasn't working!
So I lost quite a number of games.
Fine, time for bowling then.
We almost died when the lady asked us for our IC again.
Thank god it was just for the student rates thingy.
So that went well.
But Liz ended up with an one-side-cramped butt, Ame feeling uncomfortable all over and me with a stomachache.
By then, we concluded that God really wanted us to study haha.

2005-05-22T23:09:00.000+08:00

Please, don't come looking for me
when your other friends have abandoned you,
when your other friends don't need you,
when your "busy" schedule (which you choose to have in the first place) allows you to.
I don't want to feel used anymore.
I'm sick of that feeling everytime you come looking for me when there's no one else for you.
And don't you dare give any stupid excuses.
It's disgusting.

To those friends who actually do care,
don't worry, I'm feeling perfectly fine. =)
Just read something which triggered off this small li'l emotion.
It'll go away.
Cos this person isn't important anymore.

June holidays, come quick!!!

2005-05-14T22:28:00.000+08:00

Bleh, today's "family reunion" didn't materialise cos Ame couldn't make it.
Hope it'll happen soon!
Miss the seniors so much =)

So it was out studying (more like catching up on homework) with Ly.
Had a huge shock today cos I realised that we have to study 43 topics for History by the end of June for midyear exam.
And that's history only.
Aaaahhh!!
It's time to studdddy.

While doing our homework, we kinda planned our trip to Hongkong (March '06).
Wahahaha.
Hopefully it'll be a double-date-ish trip.
So fun!
All the shopping, food, shopping, food and shopping!!
Now we just gotta persuade our parents yeah? =/

Talked about prom too.
No idea where to get my dress.
I really, really don't wanna end up in an exact same dress as some other girl.
That would be dreadful.
And I hope Fullerton's food is yummy.
Right, not like anyone will care on that night itself.
But it's 95bucks!
My mum almost flipped (cos it's 10times more than what we paid for Sec4 Grad Nite) when I told her the price.

Me: Can you pay for the deposit? Then I'll pay for the remaining 60bucks.
Mum: Where are you going to get the money? Rob ah?
Me: Save lah!
Mum: Dont' you have to eat?
Me: I'll eat... cheaper food.
Mum: *after 5 seconds* Aiyah, I'll just pay for everything. You just concentrate on saving for your HK trip. Wait you grow too skinny and disappear how?

Awwww. I love my mummy =)
Shall not ask her for my Birkies anymore.
I shall continue to attempt to save. Heh.
Wish me luck.

2005-05-10T17:52:00.000+08:00

Christmas songs.
They always put me in such a happy mood.
The Christmas festive is always so filled with love.
And the songs just bring out the joy and love in me.
Psycho Julie.
Listening to Christmas songs in May.

Thanks to the songs, I'm also in a creative mood.
Feel like making pretty, funky, sweet stuff.
Just don't know what.
Bah, if only Spotlight was downstairs my house.
And if only I was good with my hands.
So sad, I'm only good with the computer mouse but not my hands.
And the last two sentences just sound so wrong.
Oh weeell.

Oh god. This is so pretty. But will I get bored of it really fast?

The blue one's pretty too.

Butterflies!

More butterflies here. But it's so chunky with all 3 straps. And I have small feet.

This looks nice. But can't see the details.

Sobs.
It has been 8 months and my plans to save for Birkies hasn't started yet.
It's like I'll save 50 bucks and then something else comes along and poor li'l
Birkies is forgotten.
Fine.
It's time for drastic measures.
Which involves my favouritest person in the world: mummy!!!
Mahahahahahahaha.

2005-05-08T21:28:00.000+08:00

Yucks.
Puking out laksa is the most disgusting thing I've ever done.
I shall never, ever eat laksa again.
That burning sensation that still lingers in the throat after puking.
And.. argh.
Shall not describe it.
Even the pigs - who laughed at poor me and Lizzie when we got food poisoning from Sakae while they didn't - got food poisoning too!
How disgusting.
Seriously, I would rather have gone for sports day than puke my stomach out.
And avoid that silly escapade from Mr Pang and 10over MJCians at Compasspoint.

Yay, the thought of
1. Saturday luncheon with seniors, Lyanna and Crystal
2. shopping at Ikea
3. the wonderful worship service
and
4. ~~long weekend~~ [I got cheated, it's next next Monday, not next Monday =( ]
shall sustain me through this horrible week.

2005-05-01T12:30:00.000+08:00

Miss K: Oooh that's an interesting pencil case
Porky: HEHE, yeah it's a shoe
Me: No shit, porky.

The classic sotong look.

The orientation shirt design. I should get royalties man. Haha. And to think I had to buy one for myself.

4/5's national day banner which won 1st place! I'm still amazed at how gorgeous it looks.

2005-04-28T21:43:00.000+08:00

Added more photos!

Pigpig's birthday part 1 - at Escape
Pigpig's birthday part 2 - at lizzie's place
Pigpig's birthday part 3 - shooooping!
Jac's farewell lunch

2005-04-28T17:59:00.000+08:00

Ok I'm bored and I don't wanna do my homework.
I'm proud of the fact that I survived school today.
The disgusting compre.
My blocked nose.
Rushing to finish Madam's endless list of work in the library with Ash and Aman.
The kancheong scramble to get 40 bucks to repay the very-annoyed Mr Pang
(thank you Ruffles. You saved our life heh)
"Kissy baby" and shit-inducing ricola.
All these small little things that add that little excitement to my mundane school life.
I'm so pathetic haha.

Friendster-surfing now.
More like photos surfing.
It's quite fun and well, enlightening.
Ack. All these photos are putting me in a taking-photos mood.
Lizzzzzie! My photo-partner.
The girl who is always up and ready to take photos.
Aka the camera whore.
Do you know that for this whoooole entire week, I've only seen her once in school?
Cos it's either she's absent or I'm absent heh.
Miss you babe, let's take photos tomorrow!

Ok, my brain has turned wonky, mushy and fried (if that's possible) with all the medication.
Goodbye.

2005-04-26T16:18:00.000+08:00

Will someone just chop off my nose and my throat?
Ack.
My nose simply refuses to stop leaking and my throat was so swollen yesterday that I couldn't swallow properly.
The result?
I ended up talking (whispering actually) in porky's annoying accent cos I couldn't move my tongue properly.
And that evil woman actually called me so that she could laugh at me!
You wait ah, Aunty Porky, you wait.
=p

The medicine doesn't work!
-sniffles-
the whole packet of lozenges is gone but my throat still feels like crap.
And I can't concentrate on my work properly.
Every 3 minutes, I'll be reaching out for a new piece of tissue paper and that's
SUPER distracting.
Ok shut up Julie.
Stop whining!

I shall now proceed to seek solace in Madam's delightful set of homework.

I'm tired of you getting all the credit that should had been shared between both of us.
Despite all the work and hours I put into it, I'm only seen as the "assistant"
while you are the one in charge who does everything.
But what can I do?
Your loud character just drowns out small little me.
Maybe that's why you are THE one while I'm just in the background, forgotten and unappreciated.

Anyways.
On a brighter and happier note, I did relatively well for PW.
"Relatively well" cos according to Joel's blog, MJ got an aggregate of 94% of Bands 1 and 2.
So my grade's nothing special.
Oh well, but I'm really, really glad and thankful to God for a 2.

Pigpig's birthday surprise on Saturday was a success!
We blindfolded her (so she wouldn't know where we were bringing her) from her place
and took a cab down to Escape Themepark.
Then, we immediately put her on the Inverter and only removed her blindfold when the safety "belt" was down.
The horror!!
Mahahahaha.
To think that silly girl thought we were bringing her to Pulau Ubin!
I simply love the go-kart rides and alpha 8, though the latter left me with a blue-black on my thigh and a backache heh.

After that, we went over to Lizzie's place and surprised her with a brownie covered with pretty M&Ms.
And we took many, many silly, nonsense photos!
After both cameras ran out of battery, we spend 4 hours just sitting at the poolside gossiping like nobody's business.
If your eyes were twitching that night, we just might had been talking about yooouuuu!
-winks-

Pigpig's celebration continued on Sunday!
The four of us (me, birthday girl, Liz and Ame) went shopping in town
and we tried on many clothes and took photos in the Zara fitting rooms.
Haha all that girly fun.
And of course, neoprints and Ame's sultry look.
-sniggers-

Shall post photos up soon!
Dear me, I think we took close to 100 photos within two days!
Talk about camera whores ha.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMANDA DEAR!!!

And thank you Crystal for allowing us to use your house, oven and mahjong set! =D

2005-04-14T15:44:00.000+08:00

I feel stupid.
Childish.
Used.
Silly.
Angry.
Irritated.
Yucky.
For Liz and I.

I simply detest that quasi-condescending tone.
Like I'm just a kid who do not understand anything.
We're not passing a judgement here.
We're just INFORMING.

Have my actions made you think that I'm capable of "passing judgements" just to make you think badly of her?

I believe that this has not been blown out of proportion or over, as put by porky.
Cos it has nothing to do with that.
It has come down to our friendship.

2005-04-11T23:17:00.000+08:00

Heh. Wanted to blog about the whole econs "fiasco" here
but since my darlings have already done so (very detailed ones I must say),
I shall just conserve my energy yeah?
Cannot waste too much calories ya know -wags finger-
Besides, I agree with all their feelings/thoughts.
Liz
Ash
Porky
But I just want to add that it's really unfair and unprofessional of her to degrade us.
The seating arrangement: fair enough. Our fault for our lousy attitude.
But is it our fault that we are slightly slow when it comes to numbers and doing math because we haven't touched any of it for the past 2 years?
No, I believe not.
So I don't see why it's "not her fault" when it comes to this.
Shouldn't a teacher help the students instead of publicly embarrassing them in front of 300 over students?
Thank God good teachers like Mr Pang and Madam are still around.

You know it's really sad how someone (let's just say it's a her) loves a person so much,
that she can't see what that person is really like?
That her friends can't bear to tell her what they know about that person.
Cos they know that she simply won't believe a word they say.
"Nonsense." "Biased." "Rumours."

The truth will break her.
But that person she's in love with is disgusting.
So should her friends tell her?

"It's weird how some people can just change to become your very closest friends or drift apart in a span of say few weeks." - lizzie's blog.
Weird and really sad, especially if that friend of yours was a close friend.
And it comes to the point that she only comes and sit with you when the friend(s) she hangs out with is absent or not around.
Sigh oh sigh.

Oh well. There's nothing to look forward to anymore. Looking forward to Pigpig's surprise birthday outing this sat. But what happens after that?

Wahlao

2005-04-07T22:01:00.000+08:00

Wahlao.
Had food poisoning for the past 2 days thanks to Sakae Sushi.
Wahlao.
Their service damn lousy lor.
Stupid manager kept staring at us.
Like we were going to steal a truckload of sushi out of the restaurant.
Wahlao.
Sorry lah. We were eating plates after plates of beans like nobody's business.
That's cos we wanted to fart in your face, see.
Wahlao.
And the stupid school changed our timetable lor.
Wahlao,wahlao, wahlao!!!!

Ok. Are you getting irritated? Cos I'm getting irritated and disgusted myself.
To think I go through all these wahlaos almost everyday.
-shakes head-

Shall go off now to pack my stuff.
Staying over porky's place tomorrow after school.
Goodbye.

2005-04-04T21:19:00.000+08:00

Just got back from Chinatown with Liane, Ruffles and Benson.
Accompanied Ruffles to collect the Werk magazines.
His poems and story are in there!
And in return, each of us got a magazine from him.
Guess how much the magazine is.
70 friggin bucks!
My gawd.
But it's so cool I tell you.
I've never seen such a magazine like this.

The company actually sells clothes too!
They're all gorgeous in their own quirky, unique ways.
Saw this really nice white formal top with red and black words splashed onto the back of it.
GORGEOUS.
But it's 700 over bucks.
Damn.

And while we were there, we spoke to Ruffles' uncle aka the boss.
We (Benson and I) might actually have a chance to get an internship there after A's!
Yipeee yipeee yipeee yipeee!!!
I even don't mind not getting paid!
I just want the experience.
Hope it'll work out *prays.
If not, I guess I'll have to try my mum's advertising company.

I shall leave you with Werk's website.

sotong with chilli sauce, rapusa and sieewwww huuaaaaa~~~

2005-04-01T23:24:00.000+08:00

Ok, so the awful week is finally over.
I really hope the teachers will stop griping about the block test now that we have gotten back most of the scripts.
And I have officially O-ed the econs paper.
PATHETIC.
Was hovering at a hopeful 48% (E, ie a PASS) until I got back the case study section.
PHLAAAAAT...
to a 37%.
DISGUSTING.

Other stuff that happened this week which are worth remembering (so that we can laugh at our silliness in years to come, while playing with THE same ol' deck of daidee cards):
1. The PCCG adventure thanks to a certain individual's huge urge to watch Homerun.
2. Pigpig's unforgettable sotong face. BLOOOOOP.
3. The Unofficial Charades Championship: The Attached vs The Bacherlorettes.
4. *porky aka rapusa aka sieewwww huuaaaa~~~'s excited voice which was filled with triumph* Rapusa Rapusa..Let down ur hair!!
5. The highly frightening witch-like "Lockkkk a byeeeee Ameee onnn e TLEEEE topp...", courtesy of Aunty Rapusa. Poor, poor Ame.
6. "Beeecaaause offf yoouuuuuuu..."

2005-03-29T20:53:00.000+08:00

Hmmm wonder why I've been in such a blog-able mood these days.
But then again, all my blog entries are short.

The returning of scripts continued today.
GP essay was nonsense.
Econs was worse.
9/25 for essay.
But I'm glad that I passed my MCQ and part (a) of the essay.
Such small little things but they still manage to comfort me.
Shows how bad my econs is.

New layout.
So yucky.
Looks like one of those super amateur designers attempting to look.. well,
then again,
maybe I am one of them.
Oh never mind.

Thanks to pigpig's brilliant memory, we have resorted to charades to entertain our no-daidee days heh.
At least Ash and Ame get to play =)
Quite fun lah.
Especially the guessing and acting part.
Hilarious to see aunty porky's face everytime I give her a new category to act out.
It ranges from Nanyang Optical to Harbourfront to The Garfield Show.
Haha me and my weird topics.

Anyways. Gotta start on econs TYS.
Bleh.
Oh. I recommend 'You Were Meant For Me' by either Jewel or Bellefire.
Nice.
Goodybyee.

2005-03-28T21:24:00.000+08:00

Got back my history block test paper today.
Depressing.
The SEA radical and democratic/conservative and elitist question: did that cos I did an essay map for it beforehand.
Had all the perfect examples.
Mr Pang said it was really wasted cos my organisation was wrong. If not for that... sigh.
IR question: only wrote 1 and a half side cos I didn't study that topic properly.
Surprisingly, I scrapped a 12 for that.
Once again, Mr Pang's biting comment which hit home.
If only...

Lit teachers were really pissy today.
Wonder how badly we did.
3 lectures of "bashing" in a row with Lit being the worse.
Oh boy.

On a lighter note, I managed to dig out the old fashion-designing model template that was given in Sec2.
Yay.
Me and Lizzie can start drawing pretty pretty dresses tomorrow =)

It's our 1 year anniversary today =)
Love you babe.

Random Stuff Part III

2005-03-26T16:02:00.000+08:00

1. Mr Pang sounds really weird on Breeze.
2. Never ever sing 'Love Will Lead You Back' on American Idol/Singapore Idol. For the past few seasons, whenever a contestent sing this song, she will be eliminated the following day (Mikalah Gordon, Carmen Rasmusen, Jeassea from Singapore Idol and I can't remember who's the other one). Great song though.
3. HAPPY BIRTHDAY SUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

2005-03-24T00:08:00.000+08:00

Yay, block test is finally over. Somehow it felt like some major examination. In a way it is I guess. Went over to Pigpig's (amanda) place yesterday after the lit paper to play some daidee. Ended up staying over with Liz and Ame. 'My Melody' game is so fun! Me wanna play some more =) Went to 85 for supper. Yummeh yummeh. And silly Ame fell asleep waaaaaay before any of us! That silly goose was saying how we shouldn't sleep early and do something interesting since it's rare that we get to stay over. Look what happened. heh.

BLEARH. I'm tired. And lazy to type. Busy day tomorrow. Out with Liz, her brother, Pigpig and Ame and then to celebrate Sue's birthday. Can't wait =) Sucky entry. Pardon me.

2005-03-16T20:48:00.000+08:00

You know how with each song, you attach a certain memory to it? Like how the fast-tempo Beauty and the Beast reminds me of studying in school late at night with Dy and Jac. And the silly bubble-tea incident with Liane's juniors. Yeah, 2 years ago but that was the first time I heard that song. =) Aah those were the days. Just dug out my old Westlife and Bardot CDs to transfer into my MP3/Discman. So nostalgic!

Bleh wanted to blog so much just before I signed in. Now, my mind's just a blank. Shall just go back to studying. And dig out more old CDs to listen to.

My first haircut-disaster.

2005-03-13T21:56:00.000+08:00

I did a very very very silly thing yesterday. I went to cut my hair!!
SCREAMS.
Well, it was supposed to be a trim. But apparently, the lady doesn't understand the meaning of a trim. So now my hair's short. Coupled with a too-layered fringe and wavy hair, my hairstyle's disgusting. So now my pink hairband's my best friend. But it makes me look like a sec 2 kid. Sobs.
And CP has a photoshoot tomorrow!
SCREAMS.
My sense of timing rocks man.
And my nose is dripping like a tap again.
I'm such a depressing child.

VOTIIEE VOTE VOTE!

2005-03-09T23:22:00.000+08:00

Yay, CP's website got shortlisted for the best CCA website. Ok, shameless plugging here. Please vote for College Publications yeah? Thank you very much =)
http://www.mjc.moe.edu.sg/cca.html

Damn, stupid Crystal's going to Hongkong! *whines* Haha you lucky girl, make sure you go to all the nice nice places and buy all the cheap cheap clothes and eat all the yummy yummy things yeah? But you CANNOT put on any weight cos you have to be my fellow skinny friend.

Can't wait for March 2006!! Then it'll be MY turn to go (shopping) mad in Hongkong. *beams*

The Daidee Championship

2005-03-05T19:30:00.000+08:00

Oh dear me. The 4 of us - aunty porky, lizzie fizzy, lim xiao ben (pigpig) and myself - are officially addicted to daidee! I think the word 'addicted' is totally an understatement. Compulsively addicted should be a better phrase haha. After our block test we HAVE to stay over at someone's place and have a daidee marathon k?? (like on wed/thurs when everyone else still has tests going on) For more details on the Daidee Championship, kindly proceed to aunty porky aka my dear alliance's blog.

Yesterday marked the official end to Chinese in my whole entire life mahahahahahaha!! I got a C5! Whoopeeee.

Happy Birthdaysss

2005-03-03T21:34:00.000+08:00

OOPSIE!! Looks like my aim to wish everybody whom I know a Happy Birthday online didn't work out huh?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to
Deeenise: sorry I couldn't make it for your celebration babe! You know I still love you =)
Crystal: hope you enjoyed your surprise party! Btw, did I tell you that the lesbian survey thing was all a scam?? haha..

Random Stuff Part II

2005-02-28T20:57:00.000+08:00

1. It FINALLY rained in Punggol (yesterday and today)
2. I have a blocked nose so I can't exactly smell the fresh air.
3. And the blocked nose is making my ears a little blocked too so pardon me if I'm hearing things.
4. My blog is boring.
5. But I don't really care.
6. Cleared the 10-storey high worth of notes/readings and filed them nicely into my super-big files = whoopee, I finally have space/am motivated to do my homework
7. My daidee alliance with king/queen porky rawks! Hello asshole liz and pigpig =p
8. Lizzie and I have a very bimbotic GP presentation to do tomorrow. But it's nice ok.
9. CIP-ing again this saturday! Mahahahaha which brings my total CIP hours to about... 25-30hours?? Oh dear. But that's only 1 point. Ack.
10. According to Mr Lee, today is the first day in 2005 (besides first day of school) that 04A202 had a full attendance.
11. Speaking of that. HELLO mah dears. When are we spending the CoffeeBean vouchers?
12. I need to do my tutorials.
13. Goodbye.
14. What a nonsense entry.
15. And an equally nonsense blog.

2005-02-24T10:48:00.000+08:00

Bleeeeeh. The Punggol air's making me feel more sick. Silly me, I thought the bad air was coming from Tampines/Pasir Ris' bush fires. But when I was watching the news last night, apparently Punggol has the highest rate of bush fires. And then, they showed a mini-clip of firemen putting out the fire and at the back of it all, I saw a glimpse of my building! My ugly green, yellow and white building! Bahahahaha. So there has been bush fires occurring at the field right next to my building and I didn't even realise. So smart.

I miss the fresh air so much. The nice, scenty evening breeze, please come back soon.

Went to watch Hide and Seek with Ash and Ame yesterday before rehearsal. It was really nice, I recommend it to all. Well apart from a few exceptions (refer to my pretty royal red and golden notebook) - "wahlao. wase my seven-fity only lorzz." Also stopped by Toys'r'us after the movie which resulted in an incident whereby Ame ran out of the shop as if Charlie the madman was chasing after her with the bloody knife. *sniggers*

3-days "holiday" for us MJCians. Time to catch up with Econs and History homework. And start studying for block test. How fun.

More neoprints from CIPday!

2005-02-17T19:30:00.000+08:00

Today was a bad bad day for me and Lizzie. Tsk tsk. I wanted to surprise dear with a bottle of Versace Blue Jeans perfume cos he ran out of it so I happily went to buy it. And then what happened? The bloody glass bottle dropped outside Mini-Toons when I took the container (which contains the bottle) out of my bag and broke. Was so annoyed with myself. 30 bucks went POOF! just like that. Got even more annoyed when I went home and discovered that it was actually the shoplady's fault cos she didn't cover the cap of the container properly. That was why the bottle came flying out of the container when I took it out of my bag. ARGH. Stupid attitude face lady. Never mind. Smart me came out with an ingenious idea to exchange for a new one and dear's gonna carry it out for me tomorrow. Mahahaha hope it works! *prays*

Anyways. The three of us went to Spotlight after a series of unfortunate events (which involved my perfume, a neoprint machine, smelly girls and Lizzie's boyboy). Spotlight oooh spotlight. It never fails to get my money out of my wallet. The 3 of us has decided to start a notebook/letterbook each and we're gonna add fun and funky stuff into it. So exciting! (haha bimbo alert!) Got nice and pretty materials for it. Can't wait to start making it heh.

Shall leave you with the neoprints we took =)

2005-02-16T16:56:00.000+08:00

Do you know of someone who:
1. is super competitive and does/says things to make him/herself feel more superior than you, even if that person isn't?
2. thinks that he/she and his/her partner is the best couple in the whole entire world and gives him/her the rights to criticise other couples - e.g for having thick eyebrows or looking SLIGHTLY uglier than him/her?
3. doesn't bathe in the morning without realising that he stinks?
4. thinks he/she looks good in everything and goes around criticising innocent people/friends for what they wear/carry?

Well. I do know of several people who are like that and I don't know whether to be amused or upset with them. Right now, such people just make me feel depressed so it'll probably take me some time to get used to it and be hahahahohoho about it.

Such people also make me miss my sec friends badly. Just wanna go back and live those happy, carefree days. But it's impossible. Everyone has moved on. Everyone has changed even though he/she says he/she hasn't. Cliques are forming within a clique if that's possible. It's no longer about 'us'. It's all about 'me' and letting people feel left out.

What a dreary entry.

2005-02-10T23:09:00.000+08:00

New layout!

But a horrible one. Too pink.

CNY was boring.

Dont' wanna go to school tmr.

Cos there's Miss K's tutorial and she seems to have taken a liking for my name. Oh the joy.

And I haven't done Madam's homework =/

BUT. I have to go to school anyways.

Why?

Cos I'm guai.

=)

2005-02-08T22:36:00.000+08:00

I'm sad =( Band has a nicer layout than Collegepubs'.

random stuff

2005-02-07T23:47:00.000+08:00

Random stuff that happened the past 7 days which I can't be bothered to type into nice proper sentences.

1. only 4 people from 04A202 turned up for school today. mr lee was pretty amused and played card tricks with us.
2. nice reunion with half of the four-fivers. where were all those people who didn't turn up? HMMMM?
3. i'm gonna fail my econs test and end up having a study session with mr lee. =/
4. many failed attempts to find a nice white skirt
5. seoul garden with liz, pigpig, porky, ame and ash. funny and embarrassing stuff happened and the poor victim was me heh.
6. was taught how to play asshole daidee, courtesy of auntyporky aka the ultimate ASSHOLE. mahahaha.
7. in a dilemma as to whether to attend CNY celebration and watch cheena people prance around the stage
8. once again, (according to miss loh), 04A202 is the talk of the staffroom. (refer to random things #1 for the reason)

2005-01-26T22:23:00.000+08:00

Oh goodness. I'm FINALLY done with the layouts for the Feb issue! I'm so not gonna touch layouts until the next issue comes along. Oh wait. There's the CCA layout competition. *bangs head* ok never mind, I shall rest for one day tomorrow by playing mahjong with my girlies. Yes, tai-tais in training here and no one and nothing (esp things that involve the letters l,a,y,o,u,t and s) shall disturb us. Ok what nonsense.

Speaking of nonsense. We played two games during class interaction yesterday and they're so full of nonsense lah haha. The first one was called "I'm so deprived.." which Mr Lee taught us. Sounds damn wrong eh. The second one involves supposedly, IQ. Goodness, it was so mind-boggling that my brain felt utterly exhausted after all the 'how many mare mares (sp?) jumped over the wall'. And to think that I had the answer already but.. oh it's a long story. Oh wells. My poor brain juices. Gone! Poof! Just like that. But it was fun =) And it's such a pity that we can't have the mini-fridge in the class. Imagine all the bribings we could do with the teachers. Mahahaha.

Oh yes. Happy Birthday Ruffleees!!

"You look cute when you're angry." BIG SHUDDER. Haha.

And! I shall make an attempt to give a birthday shoutout to everyone I know on my blog. It's damn cool lor, please. So , give me your birthday so I can fill it into my cool organiser! *rolls eyes*

Anyways. I've just lost all inspiration and motivation to type. Need sleep. And a new layout.

Standing tall in this wide space
Getting lost in Your embrace
I see a fire burning brighter
It's calling me to catch the flame
I feel like I'm falling
Over and over in love with You
It's not just a feeling
But I know that He is real
I feel like I'm falling
Into the arms of the mighty God
It's not just a feeling
But I know that He is real
You're drawing me closer to your side
It's the safest place I know where to hide
With one glance You captured my heart
You speak Your words and set me apart
I feel like I'm falling
Falling into the arms of love

2005-01-17T21:56:00.000+08:00

You know I never could explain

The way I lost my heart to you that day

but if destiny decided I should look the other way

then the world would never know

the greatest story ever told

Everybody wants to be loved

every once in a while

we all need someone to hold on to

just like a helpless child

you can look for a lifetime

you can love for a day

you can think you got everything but

everything is nothing when you throw it away

then you look in my eyes

and i have it all

once again

I need a new layout. But first, the layouts for the Valentine's Day issue. Big sigh.

2004-12-21T17:37:00.000+08:00

Mai dong xi,chi dong xi,mai dong xi,chi dong xi

I'm back from Hongkong!!! HK was fab man. Do you remember that annoying advertisement in which there were a few girls running around HK with the tagline: Mai dong xi,chi dong xi,mai dong xi,chi dong xi...Yi ke dou ting bu xia lai (er something like that if my Chinese hasnt failed me)? Well, I used to think that ad was annoying (for some strange reason) but it proved to be right after this trip. My god. HK's a shopping and food paradise I tell you. Clothes, shoes, bags, jewellery, food - they're all super duper cheap! Like how I bought my denim jacket for 15 bucks. Whereas in Singapore, to get one, you'll have to add a zero behind the 15. Or how you can get a big, delicious plate of spaghetti bolognaise in a restaurant for only 5 bucks. Basically, I went mad there. All shopaholics and food lovers out there, I recommend HK to you.

But of course, I would suggest that you learn some basic Cantonese first. I didn't know any words so I had to depend on my mum the whole time. That's because alot of them don't speak english. Even if they do, they're all basic words or it's too heavily accented that you don't understand it heh.
An example of a convo between me and a salesgirl:
Me: *walks into the shop*
Salesgirl: *greets me in Cantonese and rattles off some stuff*
Me: *smiles and pretends to understand*
Salesgirl: *continues to rattle off in Cantonese*
Me: Er, I'm sorry but I don't understand. Do you speak english? Or..or perhaps Chinese?
The rest of the time (salesgirl and I): *tries to communicate in a series of broken English, chinese and sign language*

Oh yes. I have to tell you all about my oh-so-smart mother. Yesterday, we were supposed to catch the plane which leaves the HK airport at 12noon and reaches Singapore at 3.55pm. But my mother misread the whole thing and thought the plane departs at 3.55pm. So yeah. We missed the flight. Ended up being stranded at the airport for 5 hours and being put on stand-by on the next flight out (which is quite funny actually - well, to me). Imagine if there were no available seats left! We would have to sleep in the airport! Mahahahaha. But damn, we managed to get seats. So there goes my camping-at-the-airport adventure.

Well, that pretty much sums up my trip to Hongkong. I mean, you wouldn't want me to list out what I've bought right? In short, my mum had to buy a new luggage to fit my newly-bought stuff in heh. Pai-seh.

Christmas layout! Heh it's yet another recycled layout (from my old webbie)so please ignore the Babelicious part (and the ugliness of it). Well, won't be blogging for the next week cos I'll be going to Hongkong until the 17th. Yaaay shopping time =) Till then!

Mahahaha. Just got back from celebrating Dy's birthday. I just dig her presents haha. We got her a Spongebob soft toy, a pram (yes, a toy pram haha), the Zouk CD which she wanted and the Happy Ryan vouchers (thanks to Joyce's ingenious idea). Talk about a random collection of presents haha. So now Spongebob is Dy's son and he lives/sleeps in the pretty pink pram which Dy had to push/carry around. Bahahahaha. And I'm his first Godma. *beams proudly* Shall leave you with some photos. (More photos of our chalet and dy's bday can be found under my photo links)

And the lovely, pink pram *sniggers*

Oh yes. And here's a picture of Liane which I just had to share with you all. *grins* I mean, it's Christmas and it's a season of giving and SHARING right? She's the one in red btw.

Life as a surveyor sucks. Ok, it doesn't suck badly. It's quite fun actually. The only part that sucks is when people walk past you saying that they're in a rush but then you see them strolling away. Yeah, yeah in a rush eh. And the standing around part is tiring too. Boring. But the pay's not bad. If I hit my quota of 20 surveys within 5 hours, I'll be earning $8.80 per hour =)

My current project is to survey all NS/reservist guys and thanks to that, everytime (even when I'm not working) I see a guy in NS uniform, my heart will leap and I'll have this strong urge to go up to him and say "Excuse me sir, could you spare me 5 minutes of your time for a short survey". This job is turning me into a psycho. Oh yes. If anyone of you has a brother/uncle/friend/cousin/boyfriend who's currently serving NS or are reservists, PLEASE, ask them to call me so I can survey them =)

Gah. The Shutter wasn't scary at all. Why?

Cos I didn't watch 3/4 of the movie. Heh.

Spend that time with my eyes shut, playing Spice Girls videos in my head (don't ask) while trying to shut out the screams from the audience and the actress. Wasted my $8.50. I shall just stick to chick flicks, thrillers and war movies eh?

Argh. It's disgusting how some people just tell JC students that they do not have a life and they're just a bunch of nerds who study all the time. Yeah maybe that's true to a certain extent (us being no-lifers and muggers) but what makes them think that they know us? Like they care to find out in the first place. All they wanna talk about is their own lives. What makes it even more disgusting is when they say it in JC students' faces, they think that they themselves are the coolest piece of shit in the face of this earth. Whatever. Argh.

Books Galore

My, oh my. I just came back from yet another book sale at expo. And now, I have to add another 3 books to the growing list of books I have yet to read, all nicely (yeah right) stacked up in my cupboard. A total of 11 books. Wow. There are the 2 shopaholic books which I have yet to finish, the LOTR series, The 5 people you meet in heaven, The DaVinci Code, Angels and Demons, Can You Keep a Secret?, Jeffrey Archer's As the Crow Flies and of course, the 3 books which I have just bought. And not forgetting, big sigh, SILAS MARNER. Gah.

And my teeth/gums/left side of my mouth still hurts. Bleh. Was absent from school on Friday thanks to that. (sorry Dee for not going for the CP meeting!!) If it still hurts on Monday, I'll have to go for a minor surgery. I'm not scared about the surgery part since I had one last time. More apprehensive about the money part. 400 frickin bucks! Such a waste of money. Can just use it to shop at Hongkong. Speaking of that. I want a job!! So I can earn $$$ and spend all of them over at Hongkong. Mahahahahaa. Major shopping spreeeee! I hope I won't be disappointed by the stuff when I get there though. Hmmm. So. any job offers out there???? =D

BLOOP!

Mahahahahaha I have finally shifted to blogspot with a new layout! Heh k lah.. this layout might seem familiar to some of you cos I used to have it up on my ex-website. And since I'm super lazy to come up with a new one, I'm using this! By the way, I don't like Christina Aguilera. She's just there for the sake of being there.

Blogspot's being an annoying asshole cos it refuses to shift my whole layout down! Thus, the top part's cut off by the irritating blue column. Gah. Never mind. This layout's temporary anyways.. Gonna put up a Christmas one soon! =) Don't you just LOOOOOOOOVE Christmas???

Oh this is something I posted on my old blog.. for those who didn't managed to read it:
" btw. now that i'm bored and rather free (since the holiday homework are not coming in.. YET), i don't mind doing some templates for anyone who's interested.. so if u want, tag me or find me online =) oh wait. i do have to add that u'll have to put up the design on your blog itself. the most i'll do is the basic html (e.g tables/frames etc) =) "
