goodnight, beautiful.

Crying away from home.

2012-02-12T22:30:00.001+08:00

Because when you realise no one is going to come to pick you up, to stop your tears and bring you home, you stop. You pull yourself out of sadness and stop your tears from making you feel so weak, so vulnerable. In the end, all you have is yourself; over a thousand miles away from home, all you have is yourself.

I'm sitting in an espresso house and just spent the past half hour or so weeping, crying to myself. Part of this could be attributed to the fact that I fell terribly sick yesterday night after dinner (indigestion my friends reckon) and woke up in the mid of the night to puke an entire dinner's worth of food out. It felt horrible. I spent the morning laying in bed instead of exploring Harga shopping street in Gothenburg with my friends.

For a moment, I thought I felt better. But the minute I boarded bus 60, I felt so warm, my head thrown into a fuzzy state and my tummy all queasy. The minute I alighted, I puked into a bag Shannon gave me. I hadn't eaten all morning, so all that came out was green liquid, bile probably.

So here I am, sitting in a coffeehouse, trying to nurse myself back to health with a cup of warm chocolate and mudcake (too sweet for my own good).

The tears came because I thought looking at old pictures of us together would help me feel better- knowing someone loved me so much, I thought that truth would bring my spirits up. But no, looking at pictures of us in town, in the library, just being together once in the past brought back so much memories, memories that made me cry. A part of the past I won't be able to go back to.

Talking to the girls last night about relationships & the like, I thought I had truly gotten over you. Seems like even a picture could pull me back into the state of sadness I was once thrown into.

More so, as I looked at pictures of my mother, the tears came back twice stronger, albeit with a vengeance at the irony of why I'm holding on to home so much when I had once proudly declared that exchange would be one of the best moments of my life away from Singapore.

I cried, knowing my mom wouldn't be here in Sweden to hug me and tell me everything is going to be okay - like she did when my world came falling apart last August. I cried, knowing that no amount of Skype video calls would matter if I can't see them in person, to feel cozy in the comfort of a loving family I took for granted while in Singapore.

I was supposed to Skype my clique of varsity friends earlier this afternoon, but unforeseen circumstances and my state of sickly self made that impossible.

In a coffeehouse, tears. This bout of longing for home, longing to go back to the past and to bring everything back, it's so much, but I know it's all in my head.

I'll get myself back up, like I always do, because I know I have a family back in Singapore who loves me so much,, a clique of friends in Singapore who've been through so much with me, and the fact that the future has so much in store for me.

"I know you'll get better, you're strong Joyce, you have always been." - T

The words of a close friend that saves me, time and time again.

The Swedish exchange.

2012-01-24T08:30:00.001+08:00

Today, I spent the first day of chinese new year attending my first few classes in Jonkoping University, Sweden. I'm on exchange up here in north of Europe where it freezes up to -1 degrees celsius, yet the temperature makes everything so cozy, so beautiful.

It's been almost a week since I've been here. I'm glad I found a group I could really mingle and communicate with, especially when I found a buddy in my new friend, chau! :)

Things have been looking up - the parties, dinners, food experimenting, gossip sessions & the people. Now that the school term is starting however, I feel like travelling and exploring has stagnated. I shall try to curb this and urge my group to explore more.

So here's to the coming 6 months of fun, joy and snow! All that I gave to come here, now I can clearly see 85/ worth it all :)

Love always,
Joyce.

What makes for two?

2012-01-02T16:12:00.001+08:00

Thoughts run wild through my mind these sleepless nights and amidst this flurry of conscious locomotion, I find myself looking up at the lost moon, searching for once-lost causes for which I once stood for & which brought jubilance to my being.

Parties & celebrations

2011-12-29T23:59:00.002+08:00

This is the final week of 2011, marking a final closure to the year. A date out with my girlfriends today made me realize how fast time has flown by during this semester holiday. Unlike the previous varsity vacations, this one was especially enjoyable, partly so because I'm no longer anchored down with cca commitments as I was in the previous semesters. With ample time on my hand, I found myself committing to the following leisures during this month of December:

1) Partying/clubbing

2) Shopping

3) Cycling/rollerblading

4) Food hunts

5) Movies

6) Planning for my 21st birthday party

7) Planning for a flea

Aside from the list above, I found myself basking in a transient bubble of gratification, spending time with my family & girlfriends in between, knowing that I have not a rush or academic worry in the world at this point in my life. This holiday has been a true blessing, one that I've needed since... well, since drama unfolded in my life earlier this year.

This feeling I'm feeling, it's difficult to grasp, yet it takes on a mould of an effortless happiness, at being able to spend time with friends, capturing scenes of moments & activities I'd long wanted to do during my days of cramming for exams in the previous semester.

Above all, I guess this is the epitome of a holiday; being free from academic pressures, having time at my fingertips, taking time to do the things I truly love & finding the spirit within me that was once lost in this relentless pursuit for success and accreditations.

In between prayers, I find myself wishing for the same things, conjuring new resolutions for the upcoming year. Today, I heard something on the radio that sounded like fruit for thought.

DJ: "Name something you'd like to stop doing"

Caller: "I'd like to stop coming up with new year resolutions"

Perhaps rather than entirely halting this process of finding new pursuits for our near future, we should look back at our achievements and endeavors in this year; find out what we truly have checked & ticked off the list of our 2011 New Year Resolutions before scribbling new ones out.

This also made me wonder, why do we conjure new year resolutions for? To achieve goals and reassure ourselves of our purpose and achievements in life rather than a mere existence? In achieving these 'resolutions', what do we hope to get in return, are we happy because of it? Why should we strive towards an end, a goal, a purpose that society dictates we attach ourselves to? Rather than striving towards our resolutions, perhaps a bid for happiness would be a simpler, albeit fleeting, yet trulistic goal.

A food for thought, a perspective with a pinch of salt, something I'd like to think about in the coming days ahead.

Love always,

Joyce

Rebirth

2011-12-25T11:01:00.001+08:00

On this Christmas morning, I lay in bed as the chitter-chatter of my keypad produce words that will soon be what reads.

In 2011, many good & eventful things have happened. I'm now 20 and an undergraduate at NTU, majoring in journalism.

I fell in and out of love, eventually experiencing the difference between crushes and dating, loving and losing.

I have found friends and company in this varsity club that is called ODAC, friends whom I have travelled with and will remember fondly in years to come.

For now, I am thankful of most things in life - traveling, learning, friends who celebrate the pleasure of being together and a family that keeps me safe in their loving arms.

In the coming year, that is 2012, I wish for more adventures & eye-openers, more experiences. Wishing itself doesn't suffice as it is, stepping out to take a chance does.

As a certain film would aptly have it,

"Let angles guide thee on thy lofty dreams."

2010-04-26T15:12:00.001+08:00

long holidays can be such a drag.

I do not like staying home all day staring at this rectangular A4 size screen,

wondering what Im going to do for the next 4 months,

prior to the start of university days.

gosh, I need to find something to do!

jobs, le sigh! but nothing seems interesting enough.

I should join the army -.- TO LOSE WEIGHT!

disbelief

2009-03-15T02:43:00.004+08:00

thank you1 for making me lose faith in trust all those years ago,
and you2 for reminding me that trusting is beyond my abilities
bcus at the end of the day, I'll end up getting cheated of reality,
lost and devoid of any sense of direction to continue...

2008-12-04T01:45:00.011+08:00

some way overdue pictures from the class bbq at the bottom.
bird & I went shopping before at bugis st & were hours late for the bbq,
took ages and eons to reach that place and had to
bloody walk for more than 2.4km to reach the place, whattheeeeeeee!
found a ntuc trolley abandoned near the big longkang area,
so rolled it over, dumped our shopping goods in, took turns sitting on the edge,
pushing our lazy tired arses to the place; the trolley was a godsend!
whole thing was nothing short of awesome cus we were served food all night long, hahahaha & those assholes tried to give me the 'mostamazingchickenwing'
which they claimed was buttered up to hit the maximum spot.
took pictures & celebrated jeremy's pre birthday with single litted chopsticks.
omar was in the mood for pictures (like he always is, perpetually) & tried to block
every.single.picture with his humongous pose in front of the camera!
all in all everything was kewl EXCEPT for that sick 'hotdog' game the guys came up with, where two people were supposed to bite off respective ends of the hotdog, AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE WITH AS LITTLE HOTDOG LEFT = you know what that means. ok now let the pictures do the talking,

have been on some long needed break since after the sept holidays,

studying for the promos (which omgthankgoodness I got through),

shopping with syafiqah every other day since school closed,

googling cakes/cookie recipes & baking with the new oven dad bought

with bird and the class as my oh-so-honoured lab rats, hahaha.

had to sms the class for updates on GP so much so that my bill has shot through the roof, cycling with the classmates after PW/OP finished & god I loved the session at yanty's place, what with us playing her brother's squeaky dino, laughing at jeremy's weird accent, playing the crickety sound when omar says somthing stupid & being glad at the end of it all and how we pulled through after so much, I luv my group, rly. & talking on msn with ppl from pingyi whom I havent met up in GODKNOWSHOWLONG, (layhoon our dinner meetupppppppp & nathiyapapaya helloooo our jog! <3)

chatting with the ppl from tpjc 08s03 & having to change my pm like 100000x cus

of the most retarded things we talk about to 'hit back' at each other!

god Im gonna miss my holidays I know it,

adios for now, & may the rest of the holidays be just as good

with cash and presents filling in come xmas & the new year.

this year has been wonderful, meeting new people & not forgeting old friends,

having awesome great fun in school; people-watching, name-hurling, lawl-ing

and just having a ball of a time in all that's been thrown my way.

2009's sweeping right through the calendars & unlike previous years,

I have only ONE RESOLUTION for the coming year,

which I've been hoping/praying/willing to do but to no avail most of the time.

p/s no I havent removed my brace dammit & it sucks

to have them on so long even thought Ive heard all the shebang

about the 'emptiness' after it's removed from my mouth.

two more weeeeeeeeeeeeks & Im counting on.

syfq brought her 'bird-food' as usual so munched on it,
tuning into 'Brimful of Asha' on the ipod.
muaythai aerobics was super embarrasing I swear!
but did it nonetheless,
hall concert was totally anti-climax & everything looked so choreographed!
there was some 'smarter than a tpjcian' gameshow going on,
which was really goofy at first but got quite annoying towards the end.
lotsa singing & all by the students, they're talented pls!

2008-08-24T11:39:00.002+08:00

"go read your neomail!"

I woke up today(sun) at 7.15 and thought I was late for sch!

tsktsk, waking up at 6.30 every morning is driving me up the wall.

anyhoodles, promos are 2 weeks away,

but I still don't feel the anxiety to start revising!

maybe thats cus the ppl I asked "have you started revisions?"

all answered me with a no, so I don't see why I should start either.

RAH! but it's still VERY VERY bad.

ok I should srsly start focusing and stop play happytreefriends,

(oh btw syfq, I double-broke your record with 80+! hahahaha, OWNED!!)

playing sims is super addictive and I like to keep clicking WOOHOO

hahahaha, it cracks me up & it's quite silly how they can't differentiate

when a couple is boy/girl or girl/girl, or maybe they're just twisted,

since they disallow the getmarried icon!

but this should srsly pause and resume only after my exams

cus my eye hurt after playing for 1 hr in the library when

I was supposed to complete my hw!

self-discipline!!!! where are you?

oh on a side note, teacher's day is coming up real soon!!

and I can't wait to prepare some crazyass surprise/present for mr ng!

it's gonna be so fun & I hope ms leow comes back

so we can resume our crazy gossiping/paparazzing about them,

HAHAHA right syfq!

oh and we're (zach, nikili, pranesh) heading back to pyss too!

awesome and I wanna see all my BGFS then okay! JINGS

ili, shikin, nathiya, gen, nat & hoon all must come back!

and we can have our long-awaited gathering,

damn I miss you guys like crazy!

(note to self: rmb to bring camera!!!!)

till next time,

ps: WORMIE VIEWED MY FSTER SYFQ!!!

awesome national day eve! (;

2008-08-09T11:32:00.007+08:00

ystd was 100% enjoyable and super exciting!
national day celebrations at college was like no other, srsly.
the entire hall was drowning in red & screaming/cheering/singing as one.
telematch for captains ball was quite a bummer, but fun nonetheless.
our bazaar stall, lime juice that yf said tasted like detergent!
lolzx much! I know I shouldn't be laughing but really! okok.
went around school to look at the stores,
and I supported s05 like crazy cus I bought 4 bottles!
their bottles were like super classy and nice, the glass type.
syfq, me & vera were so obsessed bout them we scanned through
their cans/trashbags for more, hahaha!

after that was the celebrations at the hall.
it was brimming full so we had to sit near the shutters,
funny how the crowd can unite and cheer to 2 words,
clap(11x), AIR CON!
sang some national day songs,
which was quite different here cus everyone stood up,
swayed and sang at the top of their lungs,
then there were the rest who went on stage and gone all wild,
people forming circles, breakdancing, robot-dance etc.

towards the end, went off with yijing to tampines,
head off to meet nikili and zach at our alma mater (pyss)
collected our certs and yearbooks,
wanted to call out our teachers & suss them out,
but everyone went home! (except for girl guides & the china students)
so we sat around the bench and started gossiping,
talking about P who got a super hot girlfriend,
N who used to be so crazy chasing DY around,
WX who got birdshit while heading back from bbt stall,
and just talking about our crushes,
how we tpjc tpjc so much better & all.

zach & I went off tog since we're heading in the same direction; EHUB
went to inter to get his set of keys duplicated,
bumped into NATHIYA, ohmygod I was so surprised + happy!
ahhhh, so long haven't seen you my old bestfr, (hello nathiya!)
hugged and took multiple pictures on the spot
cus I kept insisting my hair looked like crap, haha!
then bumped into this softball friend of zach, (forgot his name!)

took the mrt train all the way to pasir ris,
along the route talking about tpjc ppl & *ahem!
at EHUB met up with the classmates,
syfq, omar, kunwei, ikhsan, celeste, terrence & etc
the bowling alleys were packed so had to wait uber long
(but I swear it was worth it cus Im gonna elaborate later!)
so syfq, KW and I ate at pastamania, yumm.
bowled bowled bowled & saw this super hot person,
so after the game me and syfq kept sitting and looking,
then decided to go and talk to him.
BUT! (this is the exciting part)
suddenly we saw shereen, jackson, eunice, xukang, siva, sherman,
the odac seniors all turned up & they kept asking why we sat there,
esp that 'stinky' (haha!) shereen who went all the way up to see,
zomg so we were like running away from them & we had to
escape through the staircase to first level, lolzx
funny shiat, me and syfq got so excited and hyped up
and at last mustered up all the might & courage to approach the hot person
mingled & talked for a bit then went off,
wanted to look for the odac seniors again but they were gone :(
sekali at the pasir ris mrt station when I was alone,
saw them all & I swear they laugh them super loud pls,
hahahah 'Im not stalking u ppl' jackson!

ahah, and then at bedok mrt station,
saw eric, zhiying, wuyu & outside I saw gen & kl tog!
so damn qiao & at my house bus-stop I bumped into ili!
yay & that girl called my name so loud I could hear
her voice even with my earplugs on! lolzx
hugged & talked for a bit then went off home!
(:

so national day eve was way too cool to be true,
saw so many secsch bestfriends & I was so excited/happy!
yay & I hope everyone had a blast too!
HAPPY NATIONAL DAY!

happiness is this.

2008-07-31T23:58:00.001+08:00

school has been pretty smooth-sailing this week,
apart from the fact that econs homework seems to be never-ending, yes no?
have been delaying loads of homework which I've managed to clear this week,
esp for chinese cus I left it beside my bed, wtf I couldnt find it
and my chi teacher kept grumbling on & on & on about my late submissions.
mmhmmm, it took my civics tutor 7 whole months to discover that
I've not been singing the national anthem or saying the pledge,
not that Im against it but I dont see how reciting the same phrase under the scorching
sun would embed patriotism in my head, I am patriotic as it is,
with or without singing the lyrics of the national anthem, mmm.

anyhoodles, ms leow's leaving the service soon,
which means one less amazing GP teacher around,
one less person to scandalise mr ng with,
one less person to laugh with or snortle at when she walks past,
one less person who will smack my back darn hard when I pretend
she's not there in the canteen,
one less person to complete my junior college life.
one awesome/wonderful teacher & Im gonna miss her so much!
hands down the best english teacher I've gotten in a long while.

k yeah, other than that, breaks have been rly enjoyable,
the best being wednesday's long break where we (syfq, yijing omar, I)
sat together and I was so bored I had to shout HELLO to some random stranger
at the second floor who for some weird reason after staring at us,
came down to the first level & started mingling with us,
talking about MUMMYTHEMOVIE & omar spoiling my reputation that sucker.
wanted solero lime ice cream so badly but I was broke wtf, must savesave!

and had odac bukit timah trek in the afternoon,
we trekked up like in around 1/2 hour to the summit
and panted like crazy cus one nature step = 3 normals school steps
sheesh-louise yijing and I even brought our bags which weight tonnes!
but it was fun when we ran down the steep slopes,
watch those monkeys throw mangosteens down & aiming at ppl's heads,
hahahaha.

oh & today was picture taking day with ms leow during GP lesson since it's our last with her,
walked about half the entire sch compound snap-snap-snapping away!
sucker omar kept shoving his TWIST sign in front of my face when it clicked, kns
and at the TITANIC my hair was used as some prop cus edmond decided to
pull it to make it look like a candid shot, dotzzzzx plz.
but yes it was rly fun, me & syfq bluffed ms leow that we saw her & her bf,
she half-bought the story and kept bugging us when was it, haha!

decided not to go for the farewell party at last since there's math test tmr,
and there's still like TONS of homework to be completed, EOM shit.
went to get some 80cent paperthin crackers with syfq
and the first piece I took was blown away by the wind cus I held it by the tip, kns
the bus I took went off before I board so I had to chase & knock bloody hard,
omg damn idiotic if it didn't stop it'd have looked so silly plz!

k am off to completing EOM and thank god tmr's a short day.
some swimming after sch & Im gonna sleep in on saturday,
some much-deserved sleep after working through the nights for econs.
I need some ribena!

SUJU (super junior)

2008-07-09T20:50:00.003+08:00

you have got to listen to this,
hands-down super awesome!

twirly smiles & glimmers (;

2008-07-09T20:34:00.007+08:00

this week has been A-okay,
have got loads of odac meetings,
assembling of the raft photobooth,
tying mickey mouse knots,
sewing the rims of the banner & all,
with the likes of eunice & xukang(buoyancy tester, lol) guiding & all.
oh & shereen who went insane midway with her smell/odour thingie,
making 'music' with the spars & blue barrels, chanting away,
hahaha.

have finally gone in tune with the sch timetable,
no more late nights of neopetsing for me,
early doze, early rise yo.

read koomson's Marshmallows for Breakfast over the weekends,
thirteen more chapters to go and it's on to The Chocolate Run.
had a teeny gathering with nikko, ili, hongchit & pranesh on saturday,
caught Get Smart which was uber hilarious,
and had some fatty oily junky KFC for lunch, homg yes i know.
oh and speaking of fats!
I've finally found someone to get all enthu about exercising with,
my classmate sarah, which is like whoooohooo!
gym, badmintion at least once a week, happy plz!

yeah & dad's bought me a pair of binoculars which I've been wanting a lot,
great-oh, now I can relive my childhood hobby of spying, hehehezxc!
anyhoodles, mr ng was talking about how he saw our odac exco passing over
pictures on tpjc photoshare, so checked em' out & here you go!
(;

changes, drastic changes.

2008-06-29T08:42:00.000+08:00

I suddenly miss sch alot alot alot!
idk why but I miss seeing everyone in their uniforms,
hanging around the cafe, bench, extention, GNC, audi,
ohmygod yes the audi!
I miss sitting at the back with bird during math
& start talking nonsense about HSBC/yellowshirt/pau,
extending my scope to scout for YS & hi friends,
wondering why the teacher is speaking in such a strange accent
and tilting my head to the extreme left to hide my horrible hair from the world.
ahhhh & sitting in pw class, ignoring wdv the teacher is saying,
cracking the stupidest jokes with omar, jeremy & yanty,
me and sheik taking pictures of each other IN FULL VIEW OF THE TEACHER
just to get back at each other & wanting to sabo raveen
by putting his see-thru-pants-and-underwear picture on photoshare!
and of cus, the odac outings with everyone under the sun,
yijing & I cycling free-hand & counting the seconds before we fall,
munirah & I passing oreo cookies & then crashing & fall down,
with huge bruises on my thighs the next day,
but still every day in school/with odac & all is so damn enjoyable.
sighsighsigh, I miss sch so very much!
one month of not seeing them makes me feel so void,
thank god tmrw is monday & even though Im gonna feel like a zombie in the morning,
I can finally see everyone & beambeambeam, yay!
(:

And I think I've found a new way of exercising my arms,
sitting down without sweating in the confort of aircon, yes amazing.
hahaha! playing tug-of-war on neopets.
speaking of exercise, I think I know whats holding me back,
discouraging me from going to eastcoast for my morning/evening jogs.
the thought that I'll be jogging along the same old route,
wanting to get Gatorade but they no longer refill the stock,
and of cus the main killer is procrastination omg plz,
keep telling myself I will jog I will swim I will jog I will swim,
but at the end of the day get distracted by other stuff
& end up not doing anything productive but
watching tv, playing neopets, sleeping the entire afternoon away.
and worst of all, when I don't exercise
I tend to want to eat even more for god knows what reasons!
bbt + sushi + maggi + sotong balls + no exercise = badbadbad!
I have got to START crash-dieting & exercising!
I swear Im gonna go jog later in the evening or not
I shall puasah & not eat malayrice/sambalsotong for the entire week!

and oh yes, my notes and books are so messy plz sheese-louise!
lost my partial fraction notes & the font on cell membrane lecture slides
are so bloody big like it's for ppl with 1000000000 degree, tsk!
Im gonna dump all my sec sch stuff before termites come & attack my shelves!
and last but not least I mustmustmustMUST start to sleep early,
before my endless streaks of latecoming days start weaving into my life
& my pocketmoney runs out before midweek cus I spend all on taxi!

crazy late nights up 8D

2008-06-28T07:33:00.001+08:00

I was up all night looking through
fster, blogspot, lj, xanga blogs & tpjc photoshare,
horrors of horrors!
I found the picture mr wong took for us during
our very first math tutorial with the old class of cus.
nothing beats mr ng's class, HANDS DOWN.
rocks with teases & fart jokes plz.

k nways, I've been visitng neopets.com like it's a shrine,
daily pilgrimage to the website,
completing all the games on added to favourites.
and then transferring my 10grand neopoints to neobank.
I know!! it sounds so childish & all but it's bloody fun/addicting I swear.
destructomatch, haseebounce, ultimatebullseye, spellorstarve,
bbt in one hand and start clicking away like crazy!

ohyeah & I've been dl-ing/listening/watching SJ songs & videos a lot.
srsly the songs are like so upbeat and hyper,
not to mention SHINDONG 'S FACE IS SO DAMN FUNNY!

ok it's 7.33am now and I haven't slept all night,
YES ALL NIGHT = neopets + fster + superjunior + bloghop
now it's time for some sleep,
goodnight to me & goodmorning world!

across the hall of desks and scribbling pens.

2008-06-23T23:50:00.006+08:00

my chinese paper was a total shocker/scare/wdv,
for the entire month I thought today was just compo,
and at 2am I was staring at my exam timetable,
wondering why on earth anyone would need 3 freaking hours,
to complete a 500 word essay!
then it hit me.
it was COMPRE + COMPO!
fuck & I was overwhelmed by guilt and anxiety.
the fact that I got used to sleeping at 4am during the vaccation,
didn't do me any good either!
I laid in bed turning over & over,
convincing myself that the test will be a breeze,
resisting the temptation of logging onto Neopets,
all that rolled together and you get Joyce finally shutting her eyes,
at 4am only having to wake up two hours later!

throughout the ride to school,
I was reading through the textbook article ciyu,
felt so nauseautic, reading on a moving ride, figures doesn't it.
horriblest of all, celeste told me we didn't have to memorise the words!
& wtf, I swear I wanted to puke my guts out.
pre-exam anxiety is D.A.N.G.E.R.O.U.S!
:S

ok so there's biology & geography test tmrw, BOTH.
and surprise-surprise, I have not even flipped a page of geog.
someone pls shake me up from lalaland!

& I srsly think my room is in a bizzare mess!
it's like a quake, typhoon & cyclone aftermath zone,
with ants crawling over my computer desk cus of the drink I spilt.
urfgh, I need friday to come faster.
lunch with mun & I need to get back to jogging!
calories/fats/flabs are stacking up like crazy yo.

I need some fruittree fresh apple juice!!
I need a multi-tasking ultra efficient maid!
I need a memory stick in my head to store bio/math/econs info!
I need 10 roosters, 5 woodpeckers and 1 skunk to
keep vigil awake at my door,
and scream/knock/fart at 6am every single morning
so that I can get my lazy butt off my bed & get to sch on time!!!

out of my heart, into your head.

2008-06-11T02:05:00.000+08:00

monday afternoon with LH for some pastamania,
followed by bubbletea & walking around the malls, to find her FBTs.
tried to swallow all the 'pearls' at one go & choked like some nut,
horrible layhoon still can laugh, tsktsk!
bought tickets for NAOHIA (ok, narnia) which was really good,
though i think caspian & the girl should totally be together lah!

after the movie went to parkway,
LH bought her FBT,
bought some sushi & breadtalk's cheesecake,
ate at the waterfall area like hungry gluttons.
YUMMY too bad there weren't anymore chick/mushroom balls at OCK!

head home at night & was alone cus mom & dad were off on vaccation,
got hooked on msn all night chatting & all,
only got to sleep at 3am & over shot my wake up time,
missed the math class, wtf I completed the revision exercise!
ok & worse thing was ALARM RING FOR ONE HOUR, MISSED CALL + MSG,
one hour later wake up couldnt get back to sleep, KNN.

went down to dapao malay rice with SAMBAL SOTONG (shuang)
which was a big big mistake! I should have mugged a little first!
eat eat eat & then I DOZED OFF on the couch, from 1pm all the way to 4!
so I finished up the rest of math & met LH for dinner at 85.
luckily got her to accompany me if not I loner for 3 days sia!
ate bakchormee + beehoon + chicken wings + sugarcane juice.
which doesn't sound like a lot but it WAS!
felt super stuffed but I drank bbt after bus ride home anyway, HAHA
confirmed details with glenn & doug bout tmr's WWW
hopefully sijia can join us for dinner when she's done with PW
(:

okiedokie, long day ahead tmrw!
PW survey in the morning,
wildwildwet with 08S04 ppl in the afternoon, YAY(3x)

feels like Im starting all over again, last three years were just pretend.

2008-06-09T12:28:00.006+08:00

been a long time since I updated, no?
2 weeks of holiday flew by with me lazing around the home,
shopping with momsy & eating more with each day to come.
have not started on my exercise regime,
the lazyness just gets to my head even before I wake.
revisions aren't underway, except for math maybe,
which Im rushing to complete before tuesday's lecture.

oh on the other hand, first week of hols was well-spent.
had ODAC LTC camp & gosh it was amazing!
1st day was trekking all night around ubin, arms & legs hurting
from carrying the 'jerrycans' from the jetty to julatong campsite,
walking with nad & munirah talking about 'slanted' stuff,
singing along the way to keep ourselves from dozing off.
me & munirah had a code word to identify each other,
bigmouth/bigbutt shouting whenever we bumped into the other grp,
sleeping at night with the ipod (smuggled in) turned on.
2nd day was kayaking from changi to loyang,
under the storm. ok maybe not storm but it deft wasn't a drizzle either.
had a mini brunch at loyang beach,
apples, oranges, soggy cookies & biscuits.
ohyes I forgot to mention, our meals for both days were buscuits + water.
we had campfire at night & gosh it was horrifying standing in front of all,
performing some ODAC/cheer, DK method,
& mun's high-pitching singing made me at sarah laugh so hard!
it was like tweety bird gone wrong, hahaha!
3rd day, stamimania, uber fun!
walking across the wooden beams balanced across 2 sides,
laughing like mad at amos' crunched up sissy face
cus he was scared like shit & wanted to sabo me to go first, funny shit.
lunch was nasi lemak, wah heaven pls.
then it was wet games, crawling beneath the drains,
round 1,2,3,4 with ppl at the soapy area,
soya sauce smackdown at the monkeybar area,
askan spraying dirtwater cus I said he 'berak tak chebot'
hahaha, yeah(2x) ^^
& we had to clear up the campfire site,
sheesh the metal drain covers were bloody heavy,
we almost died carrying it back & forth.
final briefing, pictures, 'bubblin' with munirah & a few others.
khalis (scandal) & I were scandalising every single damn thing,
about his partner, my foot & HSBC.
aww man, I miss the camp though I did stink like shit,
from crawling beneath the drain with my group,
which was connected to the boys' toilet so you can imagine the shit.
but it wasn't as bad cus they had someone wash it up before we enter.
aww I miss camp! (10000x)

ASKARI, puts the A in the ODAC.
arif, kamilah, munirah, joyce, amos, rizwan,
nadiah, sarah, crystabelle, mark, peirong.

A.S.K.A.R we are gg go far far,
where's the I? WE
where's the I? WE
GO ASKARI!

hahaha! it sounds super cheesy/corny,
but it's better than anything else cus it was constructed last min,
me & mun engaging in all sorts of word play.

ASKARI (2x) you're so lovely
ASKARI (2x) you're so sexy
ASKARI (2x) you drive me crazy!
go askari!

RI(4x) we are the ASKARI,
up down high low,
we are gg GOGOGO
Goooooooo.. ASKARI!

oh & the night before camp was at east coast with LH,
cycling all the way to changi & had bbt,
then ride back & saw some CGs near the hump at the jetty.
we were half an hour late & got charged with $3 extra,
sheesh-louise, my money!

2nd week of holidays were pretty mundane & erratic,
attmpted to jog through my estate for 45 mins,
but was flat by the fifteenth minute,
the air was horrible cus the pathway all round
was encircling busy roads & bus stops,
so I was breathing it all the exhaust & fumes, shit.
east coast still the best.

later am off for some movies & pasta mania,
yay-yay-yay(:

when sijia & jocelyn dropped by to catch up.

when aunt annie & momoko came over from japan.

My Best Friend's Girl.

2008-05-21T02:13:00.000+08:00

most tuesdays totally turned me off,
one of the most obvious reasons cus there's geog tutorial,
& despite it being for half an hour,
sitting in class facing that horrifying teacher;
it's like mental torture.

okay anyway, that's not the point.
this tuesday, today, is really a nice & happy day.
I got back my GP & chi tests, passed both,
with a distinction in chinese oral.
*beams with a shine on my brace*

heheh, and during break lunch with the usuals were enjoyable.
eating malay rice as usual & jess that kuku asked weird questions.
& when omar started flicking his veggies on my plate,
I threw the entire fishbone on his pants, stained obviously.
"you die!" yeahyeah, failed attempts of shooting icebits at me,
if that counts, *sniggers*
eventually found out he took my friggin phone again, cheaterbug!
had to dig into his pocket & snatch my phone back,
tamader, end it with a kick on his pants!

ok so that was fun part I.
during mother tongue, me & veron went to the wrong class.
ohmygoodess, how many times has this happened huh!
& had to walk all the way to J202, the ulu place.

yeah so during PW, chattered non-stop as usual.
funny stuff happened like how we spotted ppl's underwear & all.
ok sick but anise actually wanted to take a picture of it,
and post it on photoshare lah, giler!
urhur & my eyes were sore + squinting cus I slept at 4am yesterday,
was so engrossed in my book I didn't wanna sleep.
finally finished My Best Friend's Girl by Koomson.
*yippy-yaya-yippy-yippy-yaa*

sharon was waving to me when I went to econs,
and cus my eyes were so friggin blur by then, couldn't make out who it was,
until I was like a metre away from her, tsktsk!
yeah so while going into class, saw the indian guys.
when I say indian guys, I mean those loud, noisy & funny dudes,
who for some reason when they enter lecture theatres,
talk non-stop and laugh hysterical & the weirdest jokes.
so yeah, we made friends & gosh they're friendly & open-minded!
the braces/givebirth crack-up & vulgarities thingy,
uber kool & now they know I scream barat's name for no rhyme or reason,
=.=

okay yeah so that was fun part II,
funahh today, I loike I loike!
bird & I were sitting at the back gossiping about people,
talking bout my weird dreams & how najiy is crazy bout his hair;
see the entire lesson he was touching & 'styling' his hair, lol!
yeah, ahah & went to the bus/stop with yanty,
12 came super fast, thankgosh.
ipods on, music tuned in, sleep.

had dinner with mom, dad & bro at parkway thai restaurant,
we went for the buffet & damned everything was so delicious!
stuffed ourselves crazy & now I feel like a bloated pig.
ok so hopefully bcus of that I won't have the urge to eat tmr.
there's odac meeting & then I can see those crazy monkeys,
munirah & yijing (:
I shall bring my oreo cookies & share the joy of staining the teeth,
*snigger*

time's two a.m. now,
better get to bed & catch up on some sleep.
wheewheewhee, tmr sch ends early!
happy to the max!

v for vesak.

2008-05-19T23:42:00.005+08:00

happy vesak day,
despite it being a public holiday,
I woke up not by the invasion of sunlight,
but the exasperating ringing of my alarm clock.
"ohmygoodness, this couldn't get any better"
that was whatever ran thru my mind when I watched the clock.

cycling expedition with the pri/sch folks was cancelled last min,
went for PW meeting at Macs with the usual.
after 2 hours of brainstorming & typing,
went to the mall for some lunch & movies with omar & jam.
saw jackson & his parents at the ff/joint.

bought the tix then walked round,
played 2 rounds of 3puckplay - thats wdv the machine says,
lost twice (how encouraging huh) but was laughing like some mad cow,
cus we were using bare hands to hit & omar the fucking cheat, (as usual)
was using both arms to block him slot so my scores didn't hit.
tamader, lost by one point twice.
satisfying no, fun yes.
so $1.50 was pretty worth it.

accuracy of death.

went home, read a few pages of dorothy koomson's.
initially wanted to cycle but the sun/heat was a total turnoff,
settled for some oreo cookies & wangwang instead.
great, I busted chances of losing fats & gained more instead.
anyway, slept slept slept, had dinner.
watched 9pm drama,
stoned & downloaded the soundtrack for the jap movie,
my stupid mobile USB has totally died,
couldn't connect/detect at all.
geez, what is it with today's mobiles huh!

half more hour before it strikes 12,
gonna attempt (notice how I don't say do cus 99.9% chance that I won't)
completing some homework & then jump into bed.
this weekend felt so surreal,
kept thinking that monday (today) is a sch day,
odd mindset stuck in my mind,
can't wait for sch tmr,
am gonna try my bestestwestest to resist temptation of food.

what a day!

2008-05-07T20:37:00.002+08:00

I still can't cope with the pace in sch!
or maybe Im just sleeping/pigging-out way too much :(
reach home at 7pm & sleep all the way till next morning,
not forgetting continous meals thru-out the day,
mango milkshake, mango bbt, fishcake & melayu rice!
everything just tastes too darn delicious,
it must be the stress, it must!
& I bought a whole big pack of WANGWANG from 7/11
just cus I felt empty in the mouth.

very bad ok, I scraped thru GP essay & compre, passed thk god.
econs also passed and same for bio.
but I think Im underperforming!
shit Im wasting away too much time,
math fac test is just hours away & I haven't even flipped my notes.
ohmygod.
tell me how Im gonna survive jc pls,
prbly head to the 'miao' & pray like 24/7/365 for some kinda miracle!

I still hate phys geog alot cus of the teacher,
complete her tutorials but still feel super horrified on tuesdays.
the short half hour is enough to make me pee in my pants.
she's that horrible, no kidding.

okay & 1-star kayaking wasn't as bad as I thought.
the changi nasi lemak is so overrated, =.=
I should have tried the ayam penyet, ok sheesh!
the sunblock lotion caused MASSIVEPIMPLEOUTBREAK!
terrible!

aunt annie's visit was amazing!
we had dinner, supper at her chalet,
played with the younger couz,
catching, BK burgers, playstation & bonuspointx.
momoko & serene were a bunch of joy, esp at the airport!

okiedokie, I think my math teacher is super kool,
and the differentiation lecture is sucha torment like SOOKCHING pls,
she talks too loud, it blasts thru the speakers,
sitting at the back & I saw product rule as PUNISHMENT rule.
tsk, my eyesight is getting worse!
plsplsplsplspls dont let me wear specs!
NOOOOOOOOOOOO.

june holidays are coming my way,
but impending exams/camps/PWprep are crushing me down!
MUST SQUEEZE TIME FOR FUN AHHH!

bell's ringing, time for revisionnnnnnnnnn!

weddy-weds'day.

2008-04-23T17:08:00.000+08:00

third consecutive day Im taking a cab to sch,
causing ultra damage to my pocket size, aiyaiyai.
& the driver today was v.e.r.y annoying.
he kept telling me that should have taken e other route,
kept whining on that there's many traffic lights etc.
fucker, Im paying for the cab fare & he kept complaining.
& it was so obvious that he deliberately slowed down,
when the car was progressing towards the t/lights, bitch.

anywaaaaaay, had spe & run 3 rounds.
super tiring but had to go non-stop or not 6 rounds.
practised badminton as usual, jess & I paired up.
I think my spe teacher is super short & funny.
he has the weirdest ways of teaching us how to smack,
like through dance steps & all.

was on my way to audi for math lect,
felt really giddy & all, sat at the back instead,
some ppl in front I did not want to see at that point.
sitting at the back has got some great perks,
can bitch & talk-nonstop w/o getting caught.
but of cus, less attention span which is badbadbad.

I'm starting to like econs more & more.
esp for fiscal & monetary policy chapters,
& the ppl from other class are super rad,
can sit & yak together bout anything under the sun, woots.
the class that came in after ours has a cute bio teacher,
whom lots of girls are swooning over, hearsay,
especially dear syafiqah who's super kiasu about him.
"got brains, got looks, wah damn good ah!"
fwahahahahaha!

howells am gonna head for a jog now,
get some rest, complete my PI & geog before hitting the bed.
everyone around me's getting real sick,
get well soon peopleeeeeeeeeeeee.
(:

one hell'uva spectacle.

2008-04-23T01:48:00.000+08:00

tuesdays; nightmare day (cus there's geog tut!)
went to canteen to meet e usual ppl,
cme was dialogue session w/ EAGLES leaders,
me & jess joined the novelty event,
sabo-ed omar like siao to join as well,
his is the human hurdle so if he gets stuck midway,
his ass is a goner, lol!

after bio, had lunch with the class.
jess & I FINALLY AT LONG LAST ate the jap rice thing!
and the worse thing was it turned out average,
not as wonderful/fantastic as they said it was, tsk!
so yeah, she taught me geog & scales.
we were staring at this guy with weird hair,
and laughed our heads off at how he ate.
damn super weird.

GP was all about debate & stuff.
me, arini & shah supposed to represent our class,
for the debate with s04, so had a practice w/ our own mates.
my legs were shaking like crazy when it was my turn,
but I guess it turned out pretty good.
at least it wasn't as bad as econs presentation!

during chinese slept like a pig,
cus this guy was rambling on bout his weird video,
showing the clip to the class,
in a super dark atmosphere with vague background,
perfect ambience to sleep to.
veronika knocked my shoulder & I woke up,
only to see the teacher staring at my face, god.

during LOCOGO break,
sat with the usual ppl, chitterchattered the usual moonshine,
wanted to drink mango madness milkshake,
but stopped myself cus it's like the most fattening thing on earth,
okay Im exaggerating but you get my point, no?

major point on this day: econs level test.
got quite freaked out cus a lot of friends I bumped into
in the morning were all asking if I studied for econs test,
which I did not!!
& yeah, I thought it was some small scale test in class,
turns out it's in the hall & sharon said it's a super big %!

walking to the auditorium was horrible,
was even more jumpy & nervous,
omar, jeremy, peiqi, & I were walking & staring at our bks!
kept throwing questions & talking out loud along e corridor.
ahhhh & najee bet with me that if either one of us gets lower marks,
the person gets a bbt drink, hahah, moronic but yeah.

after the test, found out I didn't right KIC for Q2,
TAMADER! but heng some ppl also didn't write,
so at least got ppl to die with me, triple yay, lol!
went home to change to jogging attire,
east coast jog from 7.30 - 8.30,
super cooling + sweaty but it was good I know.

came home beat & exhausted.
spent like half an hour in the shower,
had to wash my huge oversized sweater,
hang it & wait for it to dry, tsk!
transferred some songs to the pod & slept to the music.

2008-04-22T11:12:00.000+08:00

today was another happy day.
I guess after all the moodswings & PMS for last week,
finally feeling some optimism & positivity, feel the luv yo.
woke up in the morning with my GP compre paper,
all squashed up beside my pillow.
I fell asleep after reading the friggin long essay.
horrible & I forgot to edit my PI!
so thank gosh dad woke me up at six,
brushed up my essay & saved it thumbdrive,
took a taxi all e way to college,
stupid uncle drive so slow, near the traffic lights stop summre,
KNNHCCB ah!

anyway, math was entertaining as usual.
wanted to show mr ng the iceage picture,
but my ipod had to crush down on me, tsk!
had the MI, SS, APGP test in class for an hour,
hopefully I'll pass, at least for APGP & MI part!
cus I freaking studied for it know.
after econs lecture, went to canteen to meet with the class.

jess & I were like spotting hawtguys,
and then walking pass just so she could look,
idk why her eyes got stamp or sth, lol!
so it was like really obvious,
cus we were laughing like crazy donkeys,
as re-enacted by omar when we got back,
who also agreed w/ jam that orangeshirt looks like shit.
=.=

wanted to try the japanese stall rice thing,
but they didn't wanna tell me the name of the item,
whatthedot ah! & so many homework, no time to eat.
AHHHH!

so ended up junking on crackers during bio class,
ate the wangwang biscuit with jess,
and the crazy woman actually can choke on it, lol!
continued eating thai keropok in bio class,
almost kena caught by sarah when she raised her hand,
"WAHLAO, sabo kia, hahaha!!"

after classes ended, sat with omar, jam & syaf at cafe.
drank mango milkshake while the rest stuck to ice lemon tee.
idk why but everyone seems to luv that bizzare contraption.
anyhoodles, chitter-chattered & played music out loud.
jam's KAOBEIKAOBU rap on his phone was uber cool,
laughed like crazy I tell you.
& I kept shouting this guy's name, "BARAT!!" very loud,
so they were all damn malu & felt super embarrased.
hilarious!

went to library, did PI.
had so much trouble looking for printing card, aiyo!
was walking up & down the tables asking my friends for cards,
sianzxc at last borrowed from sylvester, thk god!
& then I printed the wrong thing, ccb waste my 10c eh!
ok anyway, got help from some J2s.

after rushing AQ for GP like kerazeeee,
got scammed by omar & jam cus they said ms leow collected,
and the rest who hand in late = zero
so syafiqah & I ran like crazy to the GO,
sekali all the paper still there, dengdengs!
yeah & after that went home with em,
while the rest had some boring old bio remedial,
FWAHAHAHA!!

anyhoodles, yeah thats bout all that happened,
mondays, mondays!
(:

happyhappyveryhappy(:

2008-04-20T16:18:00.000+08:00

saturday, today was freakin' good!
though in the morning, I woke up with a fright,
cus the sky was so bright & I thought I was late for sch,
tsktsktsk, see the stress!

okay anw, met with tzehaw, ikhsan & jessica!
ate McGriddles with jessica while walking,
it's awesome & yummy,
and you have to open your mouth super big, (think hippo)
just to fit the whole egg & sausage & two slices of bun in.

the rest were with us by the bus stop,
went walking down the streets along the estates,
found our blocks & started doing our thing.
initially it was okiedokierokie & fine.
but after having break which was bread & water,
I felt quite lethargic.
very strange for me cus everytime after I eat,
I don't get energy but instead I feel very sleepy!

so yeah anyway,
jess, me, tzehaw & kunwei were a team.
dingdong here & dingdong there for old stuff.
there were some very sweet people,
but of cus some nutcase who set their dogs on us,
behind closed doors cus I could hear the dog progressing nearer.
yeah, freaky but it was okay.

fumigation & it smelt so bad,
but edmond smelt worse, hahahah!
when we were in the lift, I stood right beside him.
and I swear he stank so bad I could smell it!
everyone was practically suffocating, lol!
he can be like the anti-HUGOBOSS fragrance.
xD

started reading newspapers,
playing crazy jap & cheena music,
tuodiao tuodiao, so addictive okay!
even jeremy, jessica & sarah loved it!
woohooo, I must find more erotic/loud songs,
can get high & crazy to in sch.

so whatever I just wrote is barely the surface of fun.
jessica & I kept laughing about 'national flags' hanging overhead,
in other words, underwears & bras.
told her not to walk there cus if not,
the thing drop & CUP her head she cannot see, lol.
other dirty insiders' joke I shan't post here.

so after the whole mass collection thing,
around half of S03 went to tampines to have lunch tog,
then omar came to join us at the foodcourt, yay!
damn funny ah I tell you that guy,
can crack up a million times over with him around.
ate kookee yongtauhoo with gastronomic amts of sauces,
delicious or what huh!

went outside to the open air playground after,
started spinning on the metal seats,
taking peektures & veedios of us doing silly things.
jessica tried to piggyback me & I laughed like some mad cow,
omar was busy spinning the whole cart thing,
till me, jessica & jeremy got dizzy & lost our balance,
got on the red slides & slid down like crazy monkeys,
omar crashing into pictures while they were being taken,
it was all good fun!

after that, bought bbt at sweettalk & testtasted,
ikhsan's one tasted like bluebandung/cough syrup, lol.
went over to century for some neoprints.
they're so sporty la, different from sec sch guys I know.
we were even 'rehearsing' our poses outside,
still taking pictures, this time me & jess acted like lesbos.
laughed like donkeys in the machine,
decoration time was long & funny,
jeremy's face was scribbled till it looked like a pirate!

then went off cus all of us were getting calls to get home,
rushed home on bus 31,
tuition teacher came & I tell you, she teaches
at the rate of the movement of snails, so slow!

evening jog & dinner with mom&dad at parkway,
my favourite banmian & then borders for some books.
slept on the ride back home in the car,
supposed to do some homework now,
but I wanted to record the happenings of today,
cus I think it's worth appraisal,
got me laughing like how I used to in sec sch & jc orientation,
before all the homework & tests started flooding in,
got me cracking up & I enjoyed myself thoroughly,
I want more class/group outings like these!
(:

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

oh & friday (ystd) pingyi speech day was amazing too,
saw pranesh & shakina at the reception,
the whole darn hall was adorned with pink/purple balloons,
so pretty & felt like bursting all of them!
received prize & the spotlight was shining so bright in my face,
damn nervous but also elated cus it's the last time I'll
be in pingyi receiving it :(

dinner buffet was scrumptious,
talked to mr chua about sch stuff,
and mr chan knows Im still having latecoming problems,
cus dad told him all bout my morning cab rides to sch, tsk!
took pictures with dongye, pranesh, jovene & libing.
started jumping on the balloons & they popped,
the music YMCA was playing,
started hollering to the words as well,
talked a lil bit more & then left with the rest.
& jovene's lightpink sony vaio is superduper awesome!

missed tpjc's songfest though, sad!
jocelyn & sijia were there & we were cut off the line,
cus the friggin music in the hall was too loud,
tsktsk, I miss you two bomboms!

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

oh another highlight was thursday's cup noodles day!
it was so super rad okay!
me, omar & jeremy went to buy them the day before,
drank bbt, ate fries & dumped them at the bookshop.
the next day we went to collect & distributed at the canteen,
wah I tell you, people were looking man!
malu but whatthedot lah, chionged to the watercooler place,
and I mean really chiong, we ran there!
hahahah, cus there were wooden stadium benches there,
and we took the short cus just so we wouldn't have to queue!

started cooking, dumping water and eating.
took pictures, videos & 'yamseng'-ed to the noodles,
hyper & we're planning chocs day now!
yay & triple yay!

friday was miss liu's birthday too!
the sch was having some odd blackout,
so it totally set the mood and atmosphere,
when the room went dark & almost everyone,
whipped out their mobiles, played pictures & cheered!
afterward the entire LT sang her a birthday song,
she smiled so hard it looked as though her mouth was gonna tear,
serious she was really happy (;
passed around some bola-sweets & had math class,
which was really cool cus mr ng is damn funny,
he looks like the iceage trailer squirrel!
& the type that can gossip with & crap,
without him getting angry, whoots!
oh & his teaching is marvellous nonetheless!

anyway, feifei wanton mee for breakfast tmr,
start my revision for math & homework for gp.
goodnighty!
(:

read this, read that.

2008-04-18T14:58:00.000+08:00

honestly cannot tahan how people,
can actually have such absurd manners,
cutting into people's conversations,
adding some lomchiampass negative comments,
and then pulling out as-a-matter-of-factly.
it's like fucking annoying & people of this breed,
should seriously give themselves a slap on their face.
really mak-kaypo & completely wtf.

today being one of da'best.

2008-04-17T13:40:00.000+08:00

pe, badminton today was awesome!
danm fun ah, we were taught to do push-up throws,
increasing speed to smack down etc.
the teacher is so funny I tell you,
impossible not to crack up every lesson!

ystd's prac novelty event was quite okay,
had short fun playing MONKEY
with the boys & girls from class,
& hopping with jessica for our segment!
fun but I stank like dungpoo!

& break was all bout chattering bout tmr with class dudes,
who's gonna buy what,
where are we gonna put etc.
can't wait ah, my class is awesome!
get a kick out of laughing at ourselves,
posting pictures of ourselves on forum & laugh all over again.
hahah, (:
so after sch went to buy the stuff with jeremy & omar.
and the bbt there cannot make it ah!
sad truth but yes, only pyss & sweettalk bbt's da best.

econs was horrible, I experienced stagefright,
well not exactly but cus I had to present,
and was getting jitters all over.
ms loh not being in today made me more jumpy.
am hoping the teacher's gonna be benovelent,
and gimme more marks ah, tsktsk!
good thing being I wont have to present again till next term,
amitabah, heng like siao!

chinese = smuggling food into class time,
eat like a glutton & pray not to get caught.
failed my stupid chinese essay by one mark!!
cus I got maximum no. of wrong words, minus 6!
knnhccb or what man!
but anyhoodles, Im not alone so whatthedot ah.
am gonna have to pull up my socks!

after buying the stuff & dumping it at some secret place,
oweing to our smartness, hahah!
went outside the benches & waited for odac to start.
yijing, belinda, amos & marilyn came!
so we sat there trying to escape PT.
super lame cus at last could go home.
& so surprising that there's someone who lives near me!
like real super near.
so we talked bout our hawker centre food along the way,
about how we both hate our secsch ccas &
the weirdness bout stopping outside another college!
now I know Im not the only lone soul,
who has to go through the same thing everyday!
(:

okiedokierokie,
came back & slept soooo long though I wanted to jog.
was feeling lazy cus of how much I binged.
seriously have GOT TO STOP man!
I gained like what - 0.5kg!
nutbutt!!!!!!

so anyway, I received like so many msgs when I slept,
ringtone so noisy! it's the doraemon capella.
and I was awoken by it, tsktsk.
reminders bout sch stuff & all it turned out.
veronica & I msged a lil bit,
then that crazy woman slept soooo early!
okay nvm, can continue on our streak during chi tmr!
yay-ole & can't wait for pe.
though we gotta run smashing 6 rounds.
my PI is 1000+ words, jialat ah!

WOOOOOH!

<3

2008-04-15T14:10:00.000+08:00

the ending for Oh soo-jung VS Karl was well... perfect.

school was okiedokierokie today.
was on the dot for sch today cus I cabbed la obviously,
or not my id would have been zapped & I'd be marked
for being late, stigmatised!

the lecture halls were so bloody cold I tell you.
my oversized jackets are still at the laundry's,
so I had to endure the freeze & thaw myself in the sun,
after like triple periods of gp & econs.

finally did my p/w's preliminary ideas!
I forced myself to stay back after sch to complete eh.
& yeah it was funny cus I kept finding dumbass
catch phrases like BIG IS BEAUTIFUL,
FATTETY FATTETY FATFATFAT etc.

after sch, went home with atiqah,
then went swimming with the folks at safra.
my joints were aching, Idk why.
the spotlight was quite dim & I was scared of hantu,
so after bout 22 laps, I got out.
think gym's still the best ah!
shikin, friday okiedokie?

mom bought 8days for me, yay.
caught the movie Untraceable ystd ystd with mom & dad.
it's like the next best movie after hannibal,
so worth the bling.
family outings are wonderful ah,
especially with the mango bubbletea & all.
(:

novelty class event's on during cme period tmr, woots!
can't wait, can't wait!
just hope sloth doesn't kick in at the wrong time
& I can curb my urge to eat non-stop during break.
wheee.

sunny sands & scandalous talks.

2008-04-10T12:58:00.000+08:00

today was a little better than yesterday,
esp so during odac outing & the games.

woke up on time today,
but cus I dilly-dallied & took my own sweet time,
left the house very late.
the train came after an eternal wait!
saw siongmin at tampines bus interchange,
was a little relieved cus at least got someone to 'die' with me.
everyone of us on board had to run from bus stop,
all the way to the school gates just in time for flagraising.
panted like a crazy horse!

lessons went okay, at least I understood.
ate a whole lot as usual;
prawn mee + egg/tuna sandwich + wangwang buscuit +
bubbletea + sushi today!
and now my stomach feels like exploding.
sheeeet ah, I've not been exercising a lot either, so it's bad!
tsktsk!

during afternoon break, set with class ppl outside library,
talked crap & decribed ppl's pubichairlike-fringes & their animal-faces!
laughed like nutbuttheads.
then tzehao recorded this stupid video of me,
screaming like how I did on orientation night.
apparently they think I look scary but funny on video.
considering how big my eyes rolled,
and my loudass scream thru the speakers.
yeah & ate marshmallows w/ celeste, vera & jessica.

after sch, went for odac @ changi beach.
made friends with the newcomers; yijing/belinda/sarah/dzu!
played captain's ball & soccer & frisbee.
my legs were itching like crazy cus of the sand.
but yeah, it was fun though the time span was limited.

talked to weining & wesa on the bus.
scandals in class + their new hot bio teacher + wesa looking like gremlin!
hahahah & talked about hongmaoren's nehneh being super big.
after they alighted slept on the bus like a log.

am home & gonna start on all my essay assignments soon,
with the korean drama @ 10 to be my companion.
cheerio!

after swimming with bestfs on monday.

me & bird took this rushed picture,
and set it as wallpaper on edmond's phone!
changed his ringtone to doraemon catala too.
hahah, damn fun to spoil his layout!

p/s:
bird, I found out yellowshirt has a *ahem!
whaaaaaaathefook ah!

when stress turns to sorrows.

2008-04-09T14:30:00.000+08:00

I couldn't sleep yesterday night.
my mind was all about homework & more homework,
incompleted ones.
geography, economics, biology & math.
slept for less than 2 hours.
felt very reluctant to go to school,
but went anyway.

I broke down.
couldn't take the workload & stress
cried during assembly.
miss liu & celeste were there, so it wasn't as bad.
after assembly was over,
felt a lot better, like a burden lifted off my shoulders.

manged to complete geog during morn break,
and econs h/w durin mtl break.
thankyou veronica for the concern & the msg.

realised I can't be running away from stress all the time,
by baking, buying more books to store time, etc.
hopefully, things will get better.

smile & the world smiles back at you.

2008-04-07T14:54:00.000+08:00

the weekend was such a breeze.
on friday night, while mom & dad were at some co. function,
I walked all the way to bedok inter for some grocery shopping.
bought cookie stuff, bubbletea & sushi for supper.
started to pour & mix & bake doublechoc cookies.
first batch was quite a goner, black from above.
but subsequent ones were pretty good.
continued on my baking spree today (sunday),
finally got everything done.
am gonna bring to share the joy with classmates,
and of cus some for the swimming partners in the evening!
(:

saturday went for dental appt, had to wait soooo long!
so mom & I went ard shopping for cheap stuff at Giant.
bought some FBTs for sch wear & oldchangkee.
ohyeah, speaking of which, I've been eating like crazy these days,
especially the weekdays.
eat & eat & eat like nobody's business!
so Im gonna seriously try & starve myself from tmr onwards.

had chinese restr dinner with family at the Cathay,
watched the Three Kingdoms with folks,
reached home at midnight & I felt very grumpy.
showered & read yakuza moon for a while then slept.

jogged in the hot noon today,
sun was forcing the glistening sweat upon my shirt,
felt super lethargic though I knew I could go on.
so anyway, I think I sort of lost my stamina.
bummer, I feel like a pig!

so yes, I haven't done any homework,
except for PI which I've been brainstorming like crazy for.
and I think Im gonna submit it on tuesday.
AP/GP tutorial for math still untouched,
which Im gonna get slaughtered for by Mr Ng if I don't get done soon.
all these mounting assignments = time for me to wake up,
get suited to environment & start working my ass off!

okay, night's getting deeper,
am gonna brush my teeth & put on the rubberbands,
nighteynightnight!

p/s for my self-reminder:
go on a virgin ride of s'pore flyer,
head to national library for first visit,
buy a pencil-case sized coloured bag for me to dump my stuff into,
start working on my arm fats!

courage.

2008-04-03T08:19:00.000+08:00

lose a friend, win another.

2008-04-02T19:03:00.000+08:00

this morning was drastic.
I slept way over the limit, like 12 hours straight!
woke up only at six fourty-five,
had to rush like crazy.
dad helped to make breakfast,
get my waterbottle & keys ready,
and sent me to school.
my dad's the best ah, honestly, he's always there!
(:

reached sch on time, surprisingly.
pe was weird & corny,
instead of playing badminton straight,
we were taught how to carry the racket,
how to swing it & move our bodies as we hit the shuttlecock.
it was like some crashcourse for dummies.
but the whole thing was a real joke, no kidding!
the teacher was damn funny & made super jokes.

didn't complete econs h/w for unemployment self-prac
& forgot to submit my notebook to mr shalan!
wth, this is what you get when you sleep too much!
brain doesn't function efficiently.
gosh, I need some exercise too.
am seriously eating too much junk food,
and sleeping wayyyyyy too much.

the korean drama at 10pm (chU) is super addictive,
so like by the time it's over which is eleven,
Im too tired to move my butt & complete tutorials!
shucks, I shall kick the habit aft the last episode.

sch finished early today, which was good.
cause am still feeling a wee bit tired.
yawnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn, bye.

not looking back this time round.

2008-04-01T11:34:00.000+08:00

above is the coolest picture I've seen of the month,
from tpjc's photoshare network!
rad & wicked!

today was super good, steered clear of monday blues!
main point because finally met up with bestfs,
shikin rambot giler & ili the semangat to swim!
heh, we did round 3o laps & laughed non-stop while getting out.
there were funny people doing silly things,
like an old-tattoed guy doing high flips & making seel/dog sounds!
hahah! it's his unique mating call to attract ili!
& there was this guy who slept on the white seat,
with his mouth wide open waiting for ...
insider's joke! right shikin? hahah!

so yeah, you get my point.
school & lessons were okay I guess.
I brought home food to sch as usual,
1. cos the sch food cannot make it!
2. scrimping to add to my piggybank bulk
peanut butter & cheese sandwich.

this is like one of the few rare days,
where I actually complete my assignments,
read through my lecture notes.
and am proud enough to bring myself to sch!
hahah, on the sidetrack, I've got my test grades.
2nd highest in class for bio & 2nd lowest for math!
omg, damn world of difference!
but shucks, screw the past.
Im gonna be one hell of a crazy mugger from now on.

am gonna go jogging with shikin tmr!
ili, you kentut pangseh us, heh!
& this friday going to have sushi + bbt with them,
prefects' investiture & all, can't wait!

okay, gonna have dinner now!
finally a home-cooked meal, dad's cooking!
wooooooooooooooooooh!

yellowshirt sucks.

2008-03-28T03:36:00.000+08:00

ystd(wed) was odac activity day,
so we played captain's ball with all sorts of medium!
cabbage bunch, soaked sponge & of cos the ball itself.
my team won two others!
and that's mainly cos our defender bernerd was super good,
he could smack the shit out of the high ball thrown at the goalie.
hahah!

the whole 3 hour games & stuff was enjoyable!

after finishing, peirong & munirah & myself went to get bubbletea.
it was average, nowhere near the standards of pingyi bbt!
really miss pyss food & the outside school stores a whole lot.
besides collecting O's results & a failed attempt to get sch cert,
I haven't gone back since I don't know when.
so when I got the letter of invitation for speech day,
was a tad exhilirated at that point of time.
am gonna receive some book voucher I think.
hope there's food food food, good fooood!

had pe today, sports heat for class events as usual.
ran for 4x400m today with yanty, celeste & hinsan.
was the third runner & I swear the sprint was crazy.
by the time I leaped forward to overtake the 3rd,
fatigue was alrd 95% through my body!

thighs & legs & butt were sore like crap,
some more I forgot to bring money for lunch, walau!
only had chicken sandwich & cereals to keep me going.
talked to scallop & kevin at the bus stop today,
and I just realised that they're all from the same sch?!
including tzehao from my class.
& there I was thinking they were the haising people.
tsktsk!

had dinner w/ mom & dad at 85,
ate like some shiat glutton previously on hunger strike,
pork porridge, stingray, chicken wing, bak chor mee.
& I think the large chunks of pork meat in the porridge
seriously tastes like frog leg!
walau, cannot tahan!
though the porridge is undoubtedly by indexes,
better than lagoon's & the mkt near my home.
felt super bloated but satisfied.
(:

am now working on my p/w PI assignment,
can go crazy I tell you,
even while Im asleep Im thinking about it.
assignments & hw load is overwhelming!
such a drastic difference from sec sch.
butbut, for most I can do during breaks, hahah!
except of cos for ms lee's geog tutorials,
which Idk why require super long contents!

so yeah, tmr's the finales for 1500m,
am quite worried cause I think I'll have muscle cramps,
& might not do so well etc.
confidence confidence, come back!

anyhoodles, am super tired.
had a four-hour nap before rising up to work on this,
am gonna continue & then catch some sleep,
before sch starts & the mad rush begins.

p/s: through my research, I realised I was
born on the same day as Martin Luther King!
omg, so proud!

p/s(II): those attending speech day as well,
inform me so I wont be the only lost soul going okay!

my ignorance, your reciprocal.

2008-03-25T13:13:00.000+08:00

the biology test wasn't as bad as I thought.
it was just a couple of short-structured questions,
at the point where I saw it, my mind heaved a sigh of relief.
I find biology tutorials more bearable with each day to come.
the boredom seems to fade over with time,
my overwhelming urge to talk dissipates away,
somehow or rather.

the heat was beating down upon our backs,
during assembly & lunch break.
nothing much of interest took place today.
other than the silly jokes of the class,
& the morning laughing with veronika,
at how the kopiguy was missing cause of her presence.

ate fruits in bulk today & slept like a pig.
didn't bother to wake up for evening jog,
one cause the winds were blowing like crazy,
& second my mind was in a blank.

I'm hoping for some major school event to pop soon,
like the sports day heats & the actual event.
oh & speaking of major, there's the elections going on.
for student councilors that is.
funny-poised pictures pasted on boards,
each with an essay long boasting of self-appraisals.
it's gonna get real interesting,
especially when the votings kick start.

anyway, am rather beat.
especially after dinner for chinese food & seafood.
bloated & filled with guilt,
feels as silly as it sounds, really.
get some sleep & renergise for an ultra long day tmrw,
all the way up till 5m, oh boy.

cause some days are better than others.

2008-03-20T06:32:00.000+08:00

It's the 3rd consecutive day I've taken bus & train to school!
it is a BIG deal for someone like me who,
for one, wakes up late like nobody's business,
and two, take the cabs like as if it's for free!
so yeah, proud that I've managed to keep to my routine.
bought sardine epokepoks for lunch from some malay aunty too,
and took bus 19 with marilyn to school!

pe was good, ran 2.4km around the track.
everyone had to participate in at least one event,
so I chose the long-dee(1500km) one for sports day.
hopefully I won't flip, flop & embarrass the shit outta myself.
ohboy.
need to go train & jog more,
hopefully the weather's on my side & clear of rain.

anyhoodles, chinese was fun.
we did some lame old practice on chengyu(s) & summary.
then we talked about elections round the world,
taiwan, malaysia, america & sorts.
it was even better cos veronika & I were talking
bout CGs & her darling M guy, hahaha!
peiqi(scallop) was there too,
she's the scallop Im ikan bilis.
it's an insider's joke.

math lecture was so boring!
the only consolation was well... nah, I'd rather not!
anyway, while the pregnant teacher was talking bout stats,
I was busy clicking away at my mobile,
doodling the words CRAP & RECALL the whole time,
occasionally looking to the left of the hall.

oh well, rain was pouring like crazy.
bid goodbyes with bird & amos before boarding the bus.
myohmy, there was this mentally-disturbed guy on board,
with two earplugs on each side of his head.
I've seen him around the east bus/inter a couple of times.
he was rambling on out loud,
as if talking to an imaginery friend.
yes, there were glares & a part of it came from me.
it felt strange & startling but it triggered some sympathy too.

reached my side, the rain grew heavier.
didn't wanna wait at the bus-stop for too long; impatience!
so dashed across the wet roads & headed for home,
well drenched that is.
took a shower & am gonna take a siesta.
later.

ronin; one more moment

2008-03-19T14:00:00.000+08:00

I switched template codes without saving my previous skin.
hence, lost quite a few links.
just drop your link at the board if you want it up.
other than that, urhur.
more colours, hooray!

college, overrated?

2008-03-18T14:13:00.000+08:00

there's something wrong with my mobile.

well, it's not exactly working okay in the first place,

considering how many gazillion times it has auto-shutdown,

dying out on me when I'm in a middle of a call.

anyway, I receive text msgs only after a couple of hours it's been sent,

which is really ridiculous cause it'd be too late for replies.

so just in case I don't respond to any of your texts, you know why.

& if it's impt, just ring up okie dokie.

other than that, I'm feeling pretty much okay.

the self-induced stress over the march holidays is fading off.

hopefully I'll catch up on math tutorials fast.

the math tutor is taking forevvvvvver to come!

classes today went pretty smooth,

except maybe for GP where the teacher was acting all weird (in a bad way)

using her cynical glares to beam at us whenever we whisper,

or just lording her authority over us to make us stop talking.

biology for once, I managed to stay awake & listened to every single thing.

despite the quiet atmosphere & urge to wanna talk with bird & edmonk,

I somehow could pay attention, amazing.

while walking around college with the rest,

realised I haven't seen my pae classmates, pae OG & pyss friends.

a sudden thought of longing to see them struck me.

was almost thoroughly beat by midday,

my eyelids on the verge on closing.

so when the bell rang when the last class was over,

my joy was inexplicable, well in a way.

I've been eating a whole lot lately.

during the march hols, there was once I was feverishly sick,

junked and binged on crackers & chocolates.

idk why, but it made me feel a whole lot better

though my bloated stomach felt like bursting afterward.

and this carried on till saturday.

ohwell, school's reopened, am hoping for more jogs!

and the NAPFA/NAFA whatever PE test is coming up soon,
which is wayyyy early compared to pyss, no?
anxiety attacks!

alrighty, gotta scrimp & save this week.

just cause I spent on the money meant for my uniform & house tee,

on shopping, movie and food purchases, shucks!

and now I can't bring myself to ask my mom for more moolah.

wish me luck in saving,

waking up early everyday so I don't have to take the cab,

where they squeeze every cent out of my pocket!

okie, goodnightey!

I miss you all.

a little something.

2008-03-17T11:49:00.000+08:00

Im feeling so absolutely zombified.

sunday didn't work out the way it was supposed to;

I woke up in the afternoon having spent

the wee hours of the night finishing up a novel.

needed & wanted to jog very badly,

but as fate would have it, the rain flushed away plans.

took a quick shower & breakfast with folks at siglap.

meepok was super duper good,

was so hot (as in spicy hot) that my nose sweat from the outside.
& there was this obnoxious fella,

who kept on turning to look at our table whenever we talked.

totally annoying, the thought of sniping down the person,

crossed my mind a million times, urfgh.

went to the airport, looked for books but out of stock.

tried to continue reading my novel at Starbucks,
but couldn't seem to concentrate well, Idk why.

so went on to parkway's to continue my search for books.

bought PS I love you which is meant for next week,

right after I finish up with A Walk To Remember.

grocery shopping at Giant, supermart.

the dead fish section smelt like morbid corpses,

stench was so darn overwhelming,

and there were fishes with their mouths wide open,

their razor-sharp yet stick-like teeth shining through.

why am I even elaborating on this grotesque section?!

anyway, saw andy at the fruits section,

and OHMYGOD, he looks so stickly thin!

it's like a world of difference!

he looks even skinnier than weiyuan or faslur!

while on the way home,

tried reading in the car with the yellow light on,

felt nauseautic, however you spell it.

anyway, Im not exactly on cloud 9 right now,

feel very not-on-track with time.

got messages sent to me about homework & tutorials.

adds to me being pissed off & stressed up.

march holidays seem so short all of a sudden.

& just yesterday, I wished school started sooner.

I take my back my words.

prim & proper.

2008-03-14T14:33:00.000+08:00

the weather's atrocious!
it's been raining cats & dogs lately,
ruins the mood, spoils plans, disrupts exercise plans.
shucks, do I have to go on?!

finally caught up with secsch bestfs after so long!
met up with teresa, ili, eve, gen, nat, laura at tm.
had lunch at kfc, talked along the escalators etc.
caught the movie; the leap years.
amazing, it's almost as good as PS I love you.
it's quite annoying how people raise an eyebrow to local films,
the outcome's pretty good no?

anyhoodles, did a lil on binomial theorum today,
finally could grasp the concepts round the formula.
the GC calculator is uber HUGE.
and so ridiculously difficult to operate,
which actually contradicts the idea of technology doesn't it?
adding in more complication rather than ease.
oh brother.

am hoping for a super sunny day tomorrow!
some exercise & escape from my lazyness.
today was spent with the mo&bro/ther,
seafood soup breakfast + window shopping at parkway's.
I honestly have lost all faith in window shopping;
I DO NOT BELIEVE IN WINDOW SHOPPING.
it's like a resistance to satisfying your shopping cravings!
adds to your woes really - makes you want to spend even more!
inability or rather, reluctance to lay your hands on that product,
it's the shittiest & most ungratifying feeling.
I say, TO HELL WITH WINDOW SHOPPING!

anyhoodles, am intending to change my blogfront sometime soon,
and maybe a photo-filled post to boot!
likely before the march holidays end.
the plain layout's becoming quite an eyesore!

am gonna indulge in sleep,
wake up & watch some TEENTITANS (yes, you didn't see wrong)
start on my revisions & grab some time for heading out.
oh & bestfs with wednesday's pictures send me okie!
till next time, cheerios!

glad I didn't miss mass dance for the world! <3

2008-02-29T15:17:00.000+08:00

orientation night was awesome!
met up with jamie at the school bus stop,
went in & caught up with valencia.
6pm; assembled in HERA 12.

Hey Hera, Hey Hera!
Hey Hera, Hey Hera!
Hera Hey Hera Ho Ho Hera!
Hera Ho Hera Hey Hey Hera!
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la
Hey Hera, Hey Hera!
Hey Hera, Hey Hera!
Hera Hey Hera Ho Ho Hera!
Hera Ho Hera Hey Hey Hera!
-stomps feets & yells

that was our main family cheer, uber high!
when it was our turn to cheer,
we just crossed arms with complete strangers,
hollering at the top of our lungs, woots.

then there was the tshirt competition,
the part where people had to talk non-stop,
without saying the words, hmm hee hah.
entertaining & exuberant.

our family won the 3rd prize, were crazy about it.
we won the award for best mass dance display too!
although we weren't familiar with the steps,
just anyhow danced/chacha-ed our way through!
it was super fun.

& the best was yet to be!
rock concert was at the end.
we formed human chains with strangers,
ran around the hall in circles, yelling like mad nuts!
me & valencia counted 123 & screamed!
super high atmosphere.
asked random people to scream with us too.
some over enthu OGLs also screamed with us,
after being stunned for a second by us that is, hahah!
jumped to the beat of the music & sweat like crazy.

the night was like the best, ever.
showed me the wild side to college.
reached home at round 10 I reckon.
my heartbeat was still racing.

p/s:
also the day I saw yellowshirt twice!
once at the cca exhibition booth,
twice at the bus stop.
(edited post on 18th march,
no thanks to the loss of entry!)

the overdue post.

2008-02-20T05:40:00.000+08:00

08S04 class party at jolene's place was a blast!
was half an hour late meeting jocelyn & sijia at tanah merah station,
which was after rushing from safra gym to home & there.
went straight to jolene's house at minerette walk after that.

jocelyn was scared shit out of her pants the entire night,
when she saw jolene's dog alias CUBBIE.
anyway, the guys played twister.
we were dishing out our own commands,
rather than using the twister plate for directions.
it was damn freaking funny cause they had weird poses;
such that their heads were stuck in one another's armpits,
undies protruding from their pants.
hahaha, had a great time laughing our heads off.

ordered canadian pizza and tucked ourselves in!
douglas and james 'whacked' the pizzas clean!
played the Truth Table, poker cards, Pig throughout the night.
took class pictures & some group shots.
rode home on a cab at round 2am when my eyelids were half shut.

there's like more itsy bitsy details bout the party
which I'll leave in my written diary rather than here,
just in case it gets wayyyyyyy to wordy!

a spectacular lunar new year!~

2008-02-10T15:59:00.000+08:00

third day of the lunar new year,
my entire night of slumber was on the couch,
after watching the telly and surfing the internet.
woke up considerably early, at nine.
confirmed with syafiqah bout today's shopping spree.
that dumb butt was dropping off bird shit,
so she called twice, hahaha.

was super late when I reached somerset station,
one hour late to be exact.
but anyway, went to the Heeren,
exchanged the blue criss-cross dress for a smaller size,
bought a bottle of green tea for breakfast,
and started trotting up & down town.
on one hand, we were looking for selected malls,
on the other, we were scanning our eyes for CGs!
there were swarms of them, buff and stuff.

anyhoodles, went to wisma atria next.
bought the teal pullover from COTTON-ON,
the store which has this uncanny resemblance to TOPSHOP.
and then hopped over to F21 for some accessories.
bought a pair of green heels, leather bucket bag & a lightning necklace.
blew my last five bucks on a black notebook & alphabet stickers,
which is meant for the literature tutorial on monday!
retail therapy was super good,
got to splurge on goodies from my edusave cashed price.
now I just gotta think of other sources to sustain my sprees,
like the newly-received red packets.
nyeheheheh!

oh & today being shawn/bro's 21st birthday,
dad threw this grand feast for him at a chinese restaurant.
so like all the relatives + cousins came.
two tables, two set menues, one huge durian cake.
sang the song, blew the candles, took pictures.
he received like DAMN A LOT OF ANGBAOS I tell you.
one angbao inside alrd got 600 bucks!!!
why wasn't my birthday on CNY, WALAO!!!~

ok chill anyway, first day of new year was good,
so was the reunion dinner on wednesday night,
which was after a rushed shopping with syafiqah + jannah.
met up with geraldine, natalie, ben, david and the rest of the cousins.
got to catch up on loads of issues,
and am getting a belated dinner treat from gerry!
(:

am gonna meet up with the sec sch people tmrw afternoon,
that is if I manage to actually wake up on time!
(it's now 2.44 in the morning)
oh, public holidays are such a joy!

subtle mondays.

2008-02-05T15:38:00.000+08:00

twenty minutes till the clock strikes one,
happy birthday layhooooooooooon!
since lunar new year is like around the corner,
should go wear tshirt & print a big phrase like this,
MY BIRTHDAY WAS ON THE 5TH, PLS ZIDONG!
hahaha, can get extra cash + angbao.

alrighty, today's classes weren't really the best.
miss liao didn't come so gp was quite a bore!
there was this kenneth teacher guy who happens to,
previously teach in pingyi and knows my brother.
he insists that we look alike,
and emphasises on his point by making a generalisation,
"women are less likely to admit they look alike."
what a statement coming from the opposite gender,
how 'refreshing'.

during break I saw yellowshirt again,
this time, something very nonsensical yet entertaining happened.
pranesh was at the table with bird and me,
and he had to turn and point and exclaim,
"OH, THAT ONE AH?"
and I swear it was so ridiculously obvious,
he'd probably noticed it when he walked by.
what was it about embarrasment again?

literature class was monotonous as usual,
little responses & lethargy engulfed the entire atmosphere.
my eyelids were so heavy they closed each time
I directed my glance at the white clock set against the wall.
there's tutorial by ms pink tmrw, which Im likely to skip.
considering how I totally have not begin on the scrapbook,
plus the fact that Im against that subject for jae!

we did a project work during chinese,
it was like an hour-rushed project with mini collages,
which turned out pretty good despite the short time frame!
yuqian was busy scribbling the mandarin characters,
while wesa and I were scattering through magazines,
looking for pictures that portray the idea of 喜怒哀乐.
samantha was helping to stick the words on the red framework.

and there's the total flipside of our rushed project,
our leader KC; that guy was 'amazing'!
for the whole of last week, he totally skipped school,
leaving the project duty to us girls,
and us thinking he had epilepsy or some crazy illness,
got to know that it was just a common/flu etc.
walau, and absent for a week?
okay, maybe it's more than meets the eye, so wdv.

anyway, the point is,
he came today & left school just BEFORE chinese period,
so the 4 of us had to single-handedly piece everything together,
and present it infront of the entire class!
while he went home to consume his medicine.
WHAT THE HELL LAR!
that's like the dumbest excuse I've ever heard,
cos people actually bring their medicine to school!
what 'excellent' leadership man!

plus, he keeps on making the lizard sound to call people,
like 'tak-tak-tak' in a super high tone,
it's the most irritating noise I've ever heard!
and his face is like the 'kiampa' type lar!
(you nailed him totally jolene!)

oh well, that's something for you to bite on.
the night is almost over.
oh! before I go, dad just mentioned that pyss
is having the sports day tmrw at bedok stadium,
which means I get a free ride to school!
and hello, that's a super rare occurance for me,
since he stopped sending me to school since college started.
everyday should be a sports day, no?

am heading for an evening jog tmrw,
plus urgent scouting for cny clothes on wed after school!
toodlooo folks!

08S04, what a night!

2008-02-04T04:36:00.000+08:00

friday was absolutely enjoyable.
after school, rushed home to get gym and swimming gear,
rushed to safra tampines to meet shikin & saw wan1.
went to the gym and was blown away by the bathroom.
in a good way, cause it was really beautiful.
got started on the threadmill till bout 4.2km.
did the cycling machine and dumbells too.

after like one and a half hour in the gym,
we jumped into the swimming pool.
swam for a couple of laps & head for the showers.
the remy-ong-lookalike lifeguard was still there.
anyhoodles, went for some chilled milo + fishball after that.

on the way back home,
saw shihan, idy, sijia, weining and jolene at the inter.
went back home before heading to the class bbq.

it was drizzling but all of us were game for it.
me and sijia were walking around like kampong girls,
grabbing food and stuffing them in our mouths.
glenn helped us to roast some marshmallows,
even though we said his hair was gonecase.
hahaha, ok I shouldn't be so mean.

after eating chicwings, honeyhotdogs, crabsticks,
all of us played this drinking game + true/dare.
there were so many bottles of soft drink, omg.
when we were hit, me and jolene sneakily poured ours away.
hahahaha, smart or what!
idy and I were like hiding so that we wouldn't have to drink,
sekali we were exposed by charan & the rest,
so had to drink anyway, aiyaaaaaaaaaa.

yeap after bout 10, samantha, stelene and sean went off.
the rest of us went to marine parade for a bus ride to 85.
told jackson, shihan and the rest what CG really meant!
everyone else kept saying center of gravity, halamak.
ate the bakchormee with douglas & jolene,
while james, jackson, glenn, shihan, idy, weining, wesa dapaoed.
super duper rad time!

anyway, cny is a couple of days away,
haven't bought my new year stash of clothes, bummer.
went to vivo with mom and bro ystd,
but found nothing to my fancy.
so am scouting for more clothes today!

mugging/playing?

2008-02-03T12:53:00.000+08:00

last sunday's pictures are waaaaay overdue.
anyhoodles, syafiqah (bird) and me were supposed to revise,
but we were just yakking and taking photos any old how!
this was like after the day before,
where we went to far east to shop for stuff.
talk about mugging!

hellooooooooo.

2008-02-01T13:25:00.000+08:00

in the blink of an eye, january's gone.
the first month of twenty-oheight has been pretty smooth.
in a nutshell, these are the happenings.

1. best thing that happened: class 08S04,
the undeniably most loud & about class,
also the reason why classes are so interesting.
2. worst thing that took place: my finger got slammed
by the dumbass classroom door.
3. most euphoric day: 17th january;
cause there was a birthday surprise!

had economics and math test today.
I think Im getting the hang of econs,
it's 110% more engaging as compared to literatrure,
omgawd that class is like a graveyard class.
and well math, my test is a gonecase.
didn't study a single topic on it and my answers were different.
no thanks to me being hooked on my game the night before.

have been skipping hockey + canoe + squash prac lately,
haven't really been in the mood plus the lethargy is overwhelming.
for canoeing, it's about warmup, sit in the K1 flip and get wet.
squah isn't really any better either; 3 courts for thirty people.
just imagine how the spaces are allocated and we aren't properly trained.
so the next best cca I'll join for jae will prolly be hockey.

went jogging with shikin on tues & wed,
the usual route plus a loop around the lagoon,
exhausting but it's worth it, really.

I'll update more when I have the time,
for now this is pretty much it with me signing off at 1 in the morning;
but the day is thursday cos it hasn't ended for me yet.

spring surprise or shock?

2008-01-28T05:20:00.000+08:00

wasn't really satisfied with my O's results,
L1R5: 15 and L1R4: 12
mainly cos I can't get into my ideal choice of college,
plus I worked super hard throughout the year for that 10 points.
but what's done is done.
it could have been worse, so I should be thankful.

to some of my bestfs who were equally disappointed,
keep your chins up okay!
the results don't define who you are as a person,
it's what's inside you that matters.
maybe life has more wonderful surprises in store for us,
especially in this route that's been carved for us.

so after receiving our results slips,
myself, ili, gen, nat and layhoon
went to eat at kfc to lighten up our moods.
then head to tampines mall for some neoprints,
bought some colourful socks,
walked round in circles & went home.
yeap, that was how thursday went.

yesterday (sat) went out with syqafiqah for shopping,
instead of going for class outing at kallang,
cause most people skipped it and so did we!
met bird at somerset mrt station,
went to fareast to shop the whole afternoon.
bought a pair of blue pumps + checkered shirt + cuff + watch.
& we had some fried mars bars.
omg I swear it's so sweet it spoils the sugar rush feeling,
it made us feel like barfing out loud.
but yeah, it was enjoyable.
walking so many rounds just to find back the items,
I was scouting for.
didn't manage to get my green bucket bag though,
so am gonna source for it through livejournal!

am gonna head to airport to study with birdie today!
then submit jae application & head for sch tmrw,
whoopeeeeee,

unlitted cake

2008-01-20T15:23:00.000+08:00

hellooooooooooooo!
Im in an ultra good mood today,
so shall blogetty blog about it!

went out with bestfs and classboys today,
met up with shikin + ili + jovene at bedok mrt initially,
waited for the 'grand' arrival of the rest, hahaha.
then we took the train to bugis,
boy was it packed or what?

went to eat at swensens; table for ten!
all of us sat in a long row,
here's what we ate:
me: seafood splash
ili: chicken something spagetti
piahwee: something spaghetti
hongchit: creamy salmon + chicken spaghetti
natalie/shikin: chocolate fondue
nikko: chicken frank
gen: dunnowhat
kl: dunnowhat
jovene: curry rice

hahaha, yeah, forgot a couple of what the others ordered,
but it was fun when we tried to act like paparazzis
and took lotsa shots of gen + kl together.
tried covering the red light so that they wouldn't notice,
but failed so terribly everytime!
so piahwee hid the camera behind a prism advert,
and took a successful shot of them, woohoo!~

okay, yeap.
then went to the toilet to go photo crazy once more!
and I like the hand-dryer thing,
especially the one at parkway's!
it has this anti-bacterial factor plus the air blasts the moisture away!

took neoprints twice at the same machine;
the decorative stuff were soterrific!
made hell loads of nutty poses/'kuso' faces!
shirin and her boyfr came along!
assumed the job of photographers and
took loadsa group shots for us.
thanks so much womaan; such a darling laa!

went to the subway station,
went up and down the escalators twice,
like some psychotic claustrophobic nutcases, hahaha!
kept singing the chachambo cheer with the girls,
laughed like mad as our volume increased!
so the day ended with walking home with ili.

though it was only an evening with the great bestf folks,
it was enough to chase away my blues
and get me laughing like I used to back in pyss!
had an amazing time with them laaa,
I LOVE YOU ALL!

oh another spectacular day was on thursday!
was supposed to go cycling with ili at eastcoast,
but when we got to the renting area,
that woman got super fickle and wanted to compare prices,
so went to the $2-per-bike shop.
sekali, she say hungry wanna eat!
lol, then we went to BK!

was in for a crazy surprise when I saw so many of them there,
they started standing up and sung a birthday song right smack there!
gosh, was so surprised + gandong at the same time,
was almost on the verge of tears but luckily didn't cry!
if not look like some nut who's supposed to be happy yet shed tears.
hahaha, nat held up this choc cake and they just sang.
ili, aziah, genevieve, natalie, pranesh, nikko and jovene!

received presents from the bgfs; a huge collage secsch photos!
very super duper awesome!
it was something like what I always wanted,
a wood board with tons of pictures and decors.
and there it was, like a dream la!

honestly, it was one of the best present I've received for birthdays
and they pooled together moolah to give me a 'angbao'!
so unbelievably sweeet la I tell you.
and I got a card from eve, yay!
after wishing on the cake and cutting it symmetrically into 8 pieces,
all of us munched on the pieces!

went to walk by the beach and head to a nearby gazibo,
took lotsa group pictures together!
after that went cycling with ili + aziah.
screamed 'chachaaaambo' like mad with ili,
especially when we zoomed past joggers and pedastrians,
super duper crazy, but fun!

had some heart-to-heart talk about stuff at the jetty,
chased after this pingyi-skater till we panted like dogs.
ili met up with jg-lookalike near the yellow lighthouse,
while the both of us yakked about random stuff.

basically had a spectacular time on these two days,
the 17th and the 19th of january!
thankyou people for making my seventeenth birthday such a joy!
tell me where else can you find such amazing/awesome friends huh!
woohoo, will definitely not forget the time spent with all of you.
last but not least, let's all jiayou for O's results day!
be it good or bad, we'll stand by each other okay!
BESTGIRLFRIENDS, HOORAY!

ps: pictures will be uploaded at a later schedule
in sight of 155 pictures which Im still resizing!

super seventeen pre post

2008-01-15T15:50:00.000+08:00

well I gotta admit jc's life starting to get boring/tiring/dull.
the gp teacher fits the bill for boredom,
especially when she moans and groans all hour long,
bout the opium war and how it affects people and their culture,
subconsciouly unaware of how she's repeated it three times,
prolonging our torment of listening to her whines.
ohmygod, honestly, I've had notions of smacking her head,
like how people smack mosquitoes with the insect bat, brrrgh.

and when school ends round 4.30 almost everyday,
it's hard not to feel exhausted or the least bit lethargic,
especially when you fall under the category like mine;
sleeping way past midnight and waking up at 6,
it's horrendous I tell you.
to top it off, there are 'lucky' days with many cca tryouts,
most lasting till early evenings,
leaving me glistening in sweats and fatigue.
(and I wonder how long I can endure my six weeks stay in tpjc)

not to mention the annoying bits of college life,
those exasperating midgets/nutcracks who just enjoy
bring people down, exuding negative vibes,
lowering your self-esteem and just being a plain bitch!
these people deserve a 100V zap to shock them dead,
cause like what the woman on GWR said,
they're wrecking chaos in others' seemingly pleasant lives,
just cause theirs are in shattered bits and lousy, fuckers.
(pardon the vocab, but they do fit the bill for that no?)

ok enough about the flipsides of jc life.
if that was enough to sap the zeal/life out of my soul,
I can just imagine the catastrophic effects it would have on yours,
should I continue my never-ending grievances.

of course, there're the great people you meet in college,
the seniors who actually make an effort to help us bond (shiting)
friends you get to exchange gifts with cos the birthdays are days apart (pris)
chummy new people you meet at the canteen table who laugh over
the nuttiest jokes and go through the silliest pranks with you (siongmin)
and girlfriends to just click and get crazy together with (syafiqah)
they're what makes waking up at six in the morning and listening
to boring old lectures less of a torture.

but at the end of the day,
nothing beats settling in at home with family &
sharing a word or two with bestfs from sec school online.
to be enveloped in the warmth of buddies who are there for a listening ear,
to give you simple yet amazing birthday wishes,
that brightens up the day etching a smile upon your face.
these are the people who wipe away your loomy days and fuzzy moods,
to add more zest and colour in your life.
it's true what they say;
you make good friends in college
but lifelong friends in high school.

okie dokie rokie yokie, that's a wrap-up.
10 more minutes to being officially seventeen.
it'll be different, awesome!

college bits of fun.

2008-01-12T15:15:00.000+08:00

with my two new friendsies; syafiqah + jolene!

so the second week has been pretty good,
though it started off on a rough patch + moodswings.
but pulling silly tricks with those 2 really did the trick!
damn funny, we went screaming CHACHAMBO everywhere,
the basketball court, corridors, classrooms.
next idea is to cover our heads with paper bags,
and dare each other to do the silly chicken dance in the LT.
mwahahaha + gonna crash jolene's house verrrrry soon!

during break, went to play poker cards with some pasir ris sec ppl,
syafiqah and myself found a secret (or so we think) escape route,
cos there's a site where the fence is so low,
you can actually do a long jump if you're tall enough,
and get outta school without any trouble, heh.

worse thing that happened today was,
while I was running like crazy and closing the door,
the knob part slammed on my left middle finger.
and yeap, you guesssed it.
blood trickled out of the nail + tiny bloodclots at the fingertip.
gross and all, but whataheck!

oh & talked to pranesh + ruben during econs lecture,
there was this section on PPC (production cost sth)
and we really side-tracked big time; ie PCC.
didn't know people from other schools recognised the term,
like what?

after school went for canoeing tryouts.
did slow rythmic jogs as a group + pumping + stretches.
we tried out this really streamlined sleek canoe,
which was effing hard to stabilise,
so when weimin (our senior) let loose of the boat,
all of us fell down one by one, like drowning ants.
hahaha, but it was one heck of an experience!
went back home with yinghwa.

there's gonna be more canoeing prac on wed + fri + sat.
so next week am gonna try to head for all three!
and not forgetting squash, which I gave a miss today for canoeing.
yay & dad bought the fudgecake from chocz for my 17th birthday alrd,
which means double yay!
can't wait to head out with friends on sat too!

rushed like mad to berlington square after shower,
had dinner with the folks + dad's colleagues.
took silly poses with bro while the rest yakked the night away.
am gonna so sleepety sleep soon,
jogging tmrw with ili + afternoon shopping with mom.
(:

above: with farah + laloo from debate.

below: with beatrice + aarthi from APHRODITE 24!

jc life; good things come after a downcast day.

2008-01-11T12:29:00.000+08:00

so today's main class was only SPE,
which was quite short - an hour.
but reluctantly went on to school anyway,
cause I could foresee the impending interrogation from
mom and dad when they see me still sleeping in the noon.

met with syafiqah + jolene at assembly,
went to the library to surf the internet,
which was horribly and intensely boring,
cause they didn't allow us to play games and all.

during pe took height and weight,
ran three rounds round the track, good stuff.
saw lotsa CGs as well,
super duper hot as the cheer goes!

and longhui told me that canoeing was fun, but tough.
so am still anticipating tomorrow's tryouts!
debate was really freaking bitchy.
the 6 fresh debators were shouting their asses off,
lotsa inner politics and stuff + fierce debating,
up to a point where the seniors had to ask for silence.
100% awesome entertainment just watching them at it,
this girl was telling her team mate who was gonna be next,
"EAT THEM!"

yeap + after that went to explore the college.
jolene and I walked pass J2 classrooms having tutorials,
so I had this crazy urge to do something silly.
I went pass the class and shouted, CHACHAMBOOOH!
hahaha, I swear it's damn fun!
had a freaking good time laughing our heads off.

aha, took a couple of pictures with farah + laloo too.
will post them up later tonight when they're uploaded.

just came back from swimming for 20 laps.
am gonna go jogging this saturday, that is if I can wake up.
alrighty, more to come!
:B

a subtle first sunday of twenty-oh-eight;

2008-01-06T15:59:00.000+08:00

after what seemed like a gazillion years,
since we met after ili's sweet sixteen,
decided to head out with girl friends today.
myself, ili, natalie, teresa, wati, eve and laura.
though the time spent was short,
it was pretty good cause we got to catch up,
talk about the screw-ups in guides,
the psychotic teachers & loads more.

so I had breakfast with mom & bro today at parkway's.
did some shopping + bought my diver's swimsuit.
headed down to bedok to meet bgf first.
then met the rest at cityhall mrt.

they had lunch at longjohnsilver,
while I settled for a cup of cold milo.
wanted to have a game of bowling or two,
but the alleys were mostly full + too expensive.

so we went over to bugis junction,
after I bought my much-sought-after soundtrack album of,
My Blueberry Nights.
took neoprints, decorated, walked around, went home.
yeap, that was pretty much it.

anyhoodles, have been wanting to go swimming after school.
but always ended up being too lethargic and snoozin on the couch.
I shall get my lazy butt up and exercise starting from monday,
especially so since classes end around 1 or so.
can't wait for the cca tryouts too!
canoeing + hockey + squash + debating society,
oh-boy!

first 3 weeks of jc.

2008-01-04T14:10:00.000+08:00

haven't had the time to update on a regular basis,
schedule is uptight these days,
lack of sleep can really screw up & cause moodswings,
worse still trigger off the sick alarm.

for now, Im down with flu + sorethroat + phglem.
pretty bad cause I can scream as loudly for cheers,
but it's alrighty now cos orientation is over!
heard the 3 weeks orientation is small-scale.
there'll be a bigger one for 2nd intake,
campfires + bonding nights etc!

so I found a couple of chummy friends to mingle with,
people like aarthi, jenna, beatrice, linjia, bernard and caine.
all from the aphrodite group 24, yeah.
we make stupid jokes, found 'husbands' for each other,
and laughed our ass off when our teammate went the wrong way,
when we was blindfolded and scared the shits outta another guy.
hilarious bunch with great OG to top with.
name is damn power, shi ting.
pronounce it faster = shitting!
so she's crowned the BIANster, hahaha.

haven't got the pictures uploaded from the nye night,
so will chuck out some time to update more on that.
prolly during the weekends.
and hey! I wanna go shopping this sat, let's all go together!
it's been less than a week,
and already I miss you guys like nutcracks!

okie dokie rokie, night's getting late, better get some sleep.

a sunny good day without any troubles of the world.

2007-12-29T15:00:00.000+08:00

did nothing much today,
except that I slept a whole lot & swam in the evening.
the braces are really tightening their grip,
could hardly touch my teeth without squirming in pain.
even worse, I was off solid food.
so I settled for some oatmeal whipped up by the dearest brother.
it was quite watery at first,
so I kept scooping & stirring it until it became sticky.
yes, I dislike my food being all watery.

went searching all over for new chinese songs,
sending them to my yahoo mail & transferring it to my phone.
repeat that twice, wait maybe thrice?
you guessed it right, it's super troublesome.
and to my delight, dad says he's gonna get me a laptop!
I was and am still overjoyed and on cloud nine!
finally I can break loose from this 'laoya' computer.

lazed around the house listening to my newfound music.
no idea why but it seems the music works like hypnosis,
listening to it for more than 15 mins gets me sleepy.

anyhoodles, I can't wait for tomorrow!
am gonna go sports-crazy, heh-heh.
morning will be cycling with moozir to east coast,
afternoon maybe swim with shikin.
yay, it beats celebrating some commercialised festive date,
eating and drinking like a glutton, oh brother.

speaking of the festive season,
the lunar new year is a few months away.
really gotta work thrice as hard to resist the food temptation,
or not my days of swimming & jogging will go down the drain!

plus shikin called like a few hours back,
that dear girl was helping me look for my noseblocker!
and a few minutes later, she texted me that she bought it!
yay, she's such a darling la!
thank you woman, appreciate it tons.

movie with friends! (I AM LEGEND)

2007-12-28T15:33:00.000+08:00

I've been spending my days swimming,
mondays + tuesdays + wednesdays.
except that I skipped today's schedule cos of crop-ups,
like how I had to wait an hour for my turn at the dentist's,
plus going to the movies with good'ol friends.
not to mention, I haven't washed my swimsuit.
yes, I have to wash it - myself.
unbelievable for a complete sloth like me.

okay, so while waiting, I sneaked off to the arcade.
and to my surprise, they had the basketball game!
I played twice to my heart's content,
and there went my five bucks, blew on a couple of games.
then went to mango to get a grey top.
worst of all, when I returned to the clinic,
I had to wait for another fifteen minutes, dammit.

anyway, I've got transparent bracies now.
which is a good and bad thing at the same time,
considering how I can't munch off food and laugh out loud,
without getting the bands at the end snapping at my lips!

yeap & after the whole dental crapo-stuff,
had to rush all the way home to get changed and stuff.
while on the taxi ride back,
I realised I didn't have the house keys!
like drats! had to head to tm with my sloppy outfit.
damned, looked freaky aunty lor!

so after meeting up with people like,
gen + nat + weixun + kl + nikko + jovene,
had some light drinks & movie at round six or so.
walked around the malls to help nat with her job-hunting,
and went off home on bus 31.
seriously, that bus rocks.
it goes to the places where I frequent to,
like parkway parade + my house + inter + tampines,
great or what!

okay, so my stomach's churning and totally topsy turvy now,
thanks to my dinner of two harmless-looking yet totally spicy otahs.
I think Im gonna get the runs soon,
or in other words; LAOSAI!

last but not least, school's starting on 2nd jan,
and I'm still unable to login to the school's website, brrgh!
first day's gonna be pretty full of anxiety attacks,
considering the fact that nikili + pranesh are still in India.
(enjoying their beautiful romantic getaway together, haha!)

oh btw the song's by chelsea the PCD wannabe,
her voice is totally it, gosh it's rockin!~
okay, before my eyebags get any worser,
I shall catch up on some snoozing!

it's that time of the year again;

2007-12-26T15:59:00.000+08:00

Merry lil christmas!

alrighty, been eons since I logged on to blog, here goes.
japan trip was from 16th to 22nd,
the vaccation was really wonderful.
managed to unwind and take my mind off things.
met some new friends of same age & stuff.
& honestly, after looking at how the japs dress,
you'll find looking at the way locals dress an eyesore!
it's a world of difference: 一个天一个地

took truckloads of pictures like round 300 shots,
will post that up once Im done with the sorting and all.
meanwhile I'll elaborate more about christmas eve,
spent with the JINGS clique and all that.

basially myself + ili + shikin went to nat's place in the noon,
took pictures and bloghopped all over the internet,
screaming & going crazy whenever we saw seegees(CG)
it was super hilarious.

went to the beach after gen + kl joined us.
saw somebody at the bowling alley,
so adjourned bowling & went for pictures by the sea.
then had some fun at the arcade,
basketball game + streetfighter + timecrisis = fun

at dusk we went back to nat's place for dinner,
plus some freaky game her uncle intro-ed.
if we 'tio' we had to eat up everything on the plate,
which was damn scary cos it meant barfing afterward.
thank goodness lady luck was smiling at me,
escaped unscathed, eheheheh!

after that went to esplanade place for countdown,
bought those santa hats and walked across the bridge.
ili + nat sprayed some celebratory stuff over us,
it was soapy + shampoo-y at the same time!
then there were these unknown weird kids,
started spraying those stuff at us.
take note: unknown which meant we didn't even know them.
so was quite exasperated at the point of time.

anyhoodles, saw some familiar faces from school,
and of course, infamous lookalikes. (ahem! genevieve!)
the place was thronging with crowds + solid orbs in the water.
but was fun + managed to sneak glances at CGs!
went home with family at bout 1am or so.
slept like a pig cause I was totally drained out!

hope everyone's had a great xmas as well,
vaccations are coming to an end but Im not down,
cos it's been pretty good + well spent,
especially when it's with all of you guys!
(:

bbq planning + nikko's bday + starbucks w/ nisha.

2007-12-12T15:11:00.000+08:00

today's weather was so unexpected,
it was bright and shiny except for the afternoon,
so ili & I went for a morning jog,
the most exhausting workout ever, no idea why.
maybe cause the pace was way too fast.

yeap then had breakfast; malay rice.
met up with gen + ili + pranesh + nikko,
discussed the bbq planning & food stuff.
one of the teachers decided to 'sponsor' us,
which was quite a shock but relief,
cos we don't have to face any financial probs,
phew!

after leaving, the weather reverted to being a bitch,
so there was rain + light precipitation,
gave cycling to east coast a skip,
met up with nisha/kentut to head for parkway's.
bought more books, oh yay.

she went to buy god-knows-how-many sticks of,
old chang kee chicken nuggets.
seriously got no idea balls why she's nuts bout the nuggets,
damn freaky, though I like sotong balls like mad,
I don't eat so many sticks at one go.
she's one hell of a supporter I tell ya,
shakira + chicken nuggets + what's next?

hahaha.
okay, then we went to starbucks & just read under the noon sun.
after a while, started yakking about random stuff.
there was this angmoh (no racism intended) guy at the corner,
and kept making weird faces while drinking his frap,
like real odd + funny at the same time.
we talked bout classes, malay rice stalls, age limits etc.
laughed over face mimickings + her being giler about raspberry,
but instead of buying just glare non-stop at the menu board.
hahaha, she totally cracks me up man.

oh & midway, met gen & the rest.
went to arcade for some time crisis crap + drums beating.
hehs, uber great time.
holidays are wonderful,
lah.
hahaha, but I can't wait for the 13th.
results + celebration, oh boy.

MY NEW HAIRCUT ROCKS, RED ROCKS!

2007-12-11T14:16:00.000+08:00

So I went jogging in the morning,
the sky set off drizzles every now and then,
but I jogged on any old how.

had breakfast with mom + dad at parkway's,
went to REDS hairdressing after that,
I finally mustered my courage to chop those locks!
yeap & I think it's pretty good,
as compared to the previous jungle of distorted curls.
neat + short + ready for school!

alrightey, wanted to go bedok complex to swim today,
cause the lanes are wider & the pool is deeper.
but as usual; the weather being a total hindrance,
and yes, the rest of the story follows.

will be flying off soon to Japan,
& it so happens that pranesh is leaving on the same day too!
yeap & almost same time, coincidental man!

anyway, Portrait of Sepia is a lousy book, (in my persepective)
loads of namesof people and countries and unknown food names,
that you can hardly trace in top-notch dictionaries.
on the other hand, The Pact is a bloody good book!
packed with suspense + good storyline.
next book Im gonna buy is Time Traveller's Wife!

okay, got no nuts to blog about already,
gonna read some thrasy gossip blogs now!

fun, peace, laughter and joy.

2007-12-08T04:57:00.000+08:00

went out with the pri school people on wednesday,
it was raining cats and dogs islandwide!
met up with steffioz first and head to marine bowl.
and no, that's not her real name,
it was just something that nisha shouted aloud when it
was her turn to bowl while she was staring into space,
making her embarrased and us laughing our heads off.

figured we played around two or three rounds,
we edited each others' names without notice.
nisha; nishakentut + dzunisha
sharif; sharifkenching + nisharif
me; joycebabi + moozir + joycechow (don't ask!)
steffi; steffioz
and our team name was STARSHIP TROOPERS,
haha, very ridiculous but we laughed anyhow.

after bowling, went to the arcade at the 2nd floor,
played time crisis and I blew four tokens.
when I saw the streetfighter game, I was amazed!
I couldn't believe my eyes cos I thot it didn't exist anymore!
soooo happy, cos I haven't played it since I was what, 10?
nisha battled me with her Ken and I used Chunli.
she kept trying to do the 'adugen' thing or wdv you call it,
but she couldnt, haha!
had one heck of a good time there,
so we're going back for more next week, hooray!

(sharif-kenching)

alrighty, so I'm halfway through Five People You Meet In Heaven
and being the typical kiasu person I am,
I went to parkway's with the folks to get more books!
while mom was shopping for cosmetics + shoes,
dad reading newspapers + enjoying afternoon tea,
I chiong-ed to Borders to search for novels.
I wanted two others by Albom + Isabel,
but both were apparently outta stock, bummer.
so settled for two of Picoult's novels.

yeah, am heading for a swim after this with shikin.
class barbeque is almost six days away, oh-boy!
hokkaido trip's next sunday, oh-fish, I can't wait!
to hell with the sick season man,
nothing's gonna stand in the way of the holiday enjoyment!

hello, goodbye.

2007-12-04T15:16:00.000+08:00

I'll make this entry pretty short,
cause Im totally dead beat after the jog + swim with shikin today.
below are summaries of how I spent the weekends.

friday;
went rollerblading at 3 in the noon.
reached east coast park,
realised I didn't bring my long socks!
had to skate my way anyhow,
old blister wounds opened, stopped after 40 mins.

head on to parkway borders to meet nisha!
bought three books, two by Mitch Albom.
went to starbucks + old chang kee to get junk,
sat around & talked, listened and read books.
that girl totally cracks me up,
she goes nuts when we're talking bout shakira
and basically had a good time laughing with her, the joker.

saturday;
pigged out & didn't go for exercise.
went out for a great breakfast with the folks!
parkway's winter time to shop for winter clothings,
read a book at borders - Africa wildlife field guide.
vivo city to get some scarfs + wool socks for japan trip.
I forgot what I did the rest of the day.

sunday;
went jogging with shikin at east coast,
that woman overslept, hahaha, first time!
jogged on the cycling track cos there was a marathon going on,
a whole swarm of people going up & down.
you should have seen the amount of litter at that time,
bottles thrown everywhere, cups all over the place, oh my!
talk about clean and green huh?
but of cause, they cleaned up at the end of the whole thing.

at night, went to Redhouse restaurant to celebrate dad's birthday!
food was fantastic, seafood & more seafood + teriyaki sauce!
saw this guy sitting on a chair while cable-skiing, uber rad.

went home & chiong-ed all night to finish my new book,
Tuesday's With Morrie by Mitch Albom.
it's one of the best books I've ever read,
on par with Allende Isabel's novels.
took a record-breaking 3 days to finish the book.
yes, I read at an ultra slow pace most of the time,
sometimes taking month just to absorb the essence + depth.

monday;
went jogging in the morning as usual,
had malay rice for breakfast,
the chilli gave me the runs at night.

did some poster painting on seashells,
one more to go & the glossings will come.
it's meant for decoration for dad's flower pots.

afternoon at three went swimming with shikin,
swam close to 20 laps or more, exhausting but good.
at the bowling alley's cafeteria,
saw a wholesome buffet spread with beehoon!
ohmygod, I have a weekness for brown beehoon, so nice can!
I came up with this crazy idea,
I would grab one tray and run away to binge all night,
and shikin would grab one tray back for her family to savour!
lol, but didn't succumb to the hunger + temptations, phew!

tomorrow's plans are similar to today's.
my stomach is aching like mad plus legs tired + sore.
gonna have a good night's sleep & get back tomorrow!
oh yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaah!

ngang-ngong is the new word baybeh!

2007-12-01T06:52:00.000+08:00

woke up pretty early this morning cos of the sunlight,
was too lazy the night before to shut the new blue blinds,
it has this annoying scratchy sound when the air con blows at it.
morning woes; sneezed like some mad cow with tissue all over.
took a bath & went to the market to get food.
today's breakfast kinda sucked cos it was all chilli,
so threw away half the packet cos it was too hot.

cancelled the date with girlfriends cause most couldn't make it,
plus I wanna spend my 60 bucks on novels,
which I begged mom like hell for.
so am gonna head to east coast for some roller blading
followed by meeting nisha at four to check out Borders for books.

oh & I just realised the scholarship money is only $300,
bloody shitass crap, it's not even enough to buy a sleek camera.
not to mention, one more position up & another $200 would be mine.
damned, this is freaking exasperating!
to make things worse, it was a 1% mark disparity between 5th & 6th.
I know I sound like a money-faced brat (which I admit I am)
but 200 bucks is a lot for someone who isn't working!
我不甘愿!

anyway...

so the class bbq is on the 13th a month before 2008 starts,
which also happens to be the day of PAE results.
haven't decided on whether to get food from Giant/BBQ wholesale
cause I don't know the disparity in pricings.
plus, I already forked out a whopping sum for the pit,
so am looking for a pooled contribuition for food,
or the teacher's sponsorship for food,
which I'd kinda agree that it's like we're exploiting them
since mr wee has already paid for the photos.

lastly, I miss evil + teresa + laura + wati!
so long haven't hung out with them.
evil, faster come back singapore!

high school was love. (take note: was)

2007-11-30T11:00:00.000+08:00

went jogging in the morning with shikin as usual.
saw warran blading at east coast, our jaws dropped, literally.
drank gatorade to flush down our thirst,
headed to the bus-stop & had some girl talk.
and I take a fancy to the wide road lanes + zebra crossing there.
cause you can jay-walk all you want
and have the least/smallest chance of getting 'langah'-ed,
which is good for lazy people like me,
who find walking to the nearest traffic light a major chore.

afternoon was spent on malay rice lunch,
admin paper work for dad + running around the house.
the 2nd task was done so that I wouldn't sleep right after lunch,
like I have been doing the past few days,
cause I feel like a giant anaconda utilisting less energy,
which in the long run causes increased storage of fats.
okay, you get my drift, that's the point Im driving at.

below are some seriously way overdue pictures we took,
on the last day in sec school outside mrs chan's class.
oh and that was prior to when we went to the MLC,
and 'thrashed' pranesh + force-slotted a plastic bag on his head.
no, he didn't die of suffocation, not that easy.

oh and went to escape with the gang on tuesday.
had a great time cos it was my first time there,
took the inverter, rainbow, wet & wild rides.
the haunted house part was horrible.
scary stuff cos the lighting was spooky,
and we were all grabbing onto one another for our dear lives!
good lord, my sandals fell apart while I was running!

personally, I think the rainbow is da'best!
it gives you this defying-gravity feeling,
which makes you feel like you're falling off + flying.
the first ride I was just screaming my ass off,
and I had to hold really tight and kick the front board,
cause it was super freaky, no joke.
layhoon was one good audience;
she laughed like mad throughout my whole torment!

but the day ended really well & I got drenched from head to toe,
blew 10 bucks minus 10 cents on new sandals.
the BK outlet there is beyond 'appraisal'.
it only had two types of burgers available,
and boy! the prices were sky-high!
yes I know it has always been,
I just felt poor that day cause I was broke!

dinner on tuesday sucked real big time,
cause I bought this two-dollar-worth beehoon meal,
the beehoon was good,
but the otah was rubbery like eraser texture
and the hotdog was boiled, yeech!

I shan't elaborate furthur cause dusk has fallen,
gonna write down a list of what-to-buy(s),
that is once I receive the scholarship money!
a new camera is definitely a must-have!

now it's your turn to update, get cracking!

prom pictures (save the best for the last)

2007-11-28T02:25:00.000+08:00

monday morning went jogging with shikin + her sis.
like finally can catch up with NONGNONG!
yeah had breakfast & just slacked the time away,
on msn + watching telly + lazing around the couch.

was supposed to go jogging with ili today,
but the weather was a total bummer.
and swimming with shikin's cancelled,
cos she's running a fever.
so that leaves bowling at noon with the rest.

the mess at the coffee table & tuition table is still uncleared;
mostly of which are school books + files + worksheets,
that haven't been touched since O's ended.
SHIT, I'M SO LAZY!

oh & great news, great news!
am spending a week of holiday in Japan, hokkaido!
oh-boy! this calls for a splendid celebration man,
cause there's no need to go to the cheena country, yay!
plus no more humid weather to prolong my sufferings,
and might be able to go visit aunt Annie in Osaka.
HAPPY! (x3)

though prom wasn't very fancy nor was the food delectable,
the night was good cause all of us were knitted together,
very much like high school friends forever.
(;

postscript:
sry, am currently unable to reply to tags
cause my com's got mounting problems.
will use the laptop to reply when Im free.
meanwhile, continue with the tags!
:D

super-single with nisha! 'being friends is enough'

2007-11-24T15:54:00.000+08:00

this week has been moderately pleasant,
whatever that means anyway.
have been jogging(mon&thurs) + rollerblading(tues).
really enjoyable other than the fact that,
I gotta go bypass the creepy underpass of which,
I swear sends chill down my spine!

met up with steffi + nisha on thursday,
starbucks coffee at tampines mall.
while on the subway train,
wanted to sit down with nisha cause I was lazy to stand.
sekali the moronic train had to break all of a sudden,
and I almost slammed my butt into this commuter,
omagawd, talk about embarassment!

basically we caught up on primary school stuff,
dark secrets + dirty habits + infatuations + shocking discoveries.
hahaha, it was extremely entertaining with them.
laughed non-stop & bickered over VENTI & GRANDE,
really humorous bunch!
then went on to take some neoprints.
NISHA YOU KENTUT TAKE ALL THE NICE ONES, LOL!

today overslept and missed my morning jog, bummer!
went out for breakfast with nat & gen; PASTA MANIA.
searched for locations for the class bbq,
most ideal places were fully booked, cursers!
went to eastcoast beach to sit on sands & enjoy the sun.
talked about trivial stuff & the future,
had milo at mcdonald's & did stupid stuff.

came home + eat at lagoon east coast.
flying cockroach and grotesque lizard in the house.
bro used vacuum cleaner to suck the live outta them,
say HOORAH!
gonna hit the sacks & wake up early tmr.

(:

2007-11-19T14:31:00.000+08:00

my head's gonna roll when dad comes back home!!!!!

solid food pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

2007-11-19T09:38:00.000+08:00

saturday morning was spent jogging.
drank a whole glass of water before leaving,
big big mistake!
after like an hour of jogging,
felt faint and went to mcdonald's to puke.
whatever came out was just green liquid,
probably bile juice since I skipped dinner the night before.
it felt super horrible!

then headed for dental appointment at parkway's.
fixed on blue braces & rubber bands on jaws.
it didn't hurt until dusk fell.
couldn't open my mouth wide enough to eat,
extremely annoying!

today didn't leave the house to explore or anything.
breakfast was oatmeal cereal cos my teeth was 'disabled'.
hopes of evening jog/rollerblade were dashed,
darn thunderstorm always came at the 'right' time.

oh well, tomorrow & thurs heading out.
have been waiting for so long!
am gonna bore myself to death should I stay home any longer.
and I can't decide whether to get a short haircut!

love you bunch of bestfs to the max!

& to bestfs who've been concerned about me lately, don't worry!
Im really okay now cause everything's blown over.
thx for being there when I need you guys most, you guys rock!
now my eyes are opened to who are really my bestfs.
& yeah, some things just don't go the way you want them to,
so just let it pass you by and learn from it.
life's more than just being sad about small issues.
(:

postscript:

to whoever this is targetted at if you're feeling paranoid & guilty.

I seriously hate you a lot now,

you won't know how Im feeling especially since you're the culprit.

told you so many secrets in the past;

most if not, all were slowly leaked out one by one.

whatever it is, I have lost complete trust in you.

so stop asking me if Im still engulfed in wrath because I am!

since the issue has come to a closure,

all I have to say is just to back off & get lost!

postscript part II:

to those who feel my words are harsh or Im being a brat,

do not judge me!

if you've never been in my shoes,

you have no rights to comment or sound out your two cents worth.

stop being one of those bystanders 'watching the show'

and then talk like as if you're an expert on this.

finally, quit pushing your nose into places where they shouldn't be.

the word privacy was created with an intent.

postscript part III:

for people feeling paranoid on whether they're the targetted audience,

you are not the intended target of those two paragraphs,

unless of couse you are filled with guilt upon reading.

so don't ask me whether Im talking about you,

because so very obviously, I am not.

another merry day (we pretend as if nth happened ystd)

2007-11-18T09:20:00.000+08:00

leaving sec school itself isn't half as bad,
in fact; Im not half as bothered by it.
but rather, I'm sad cause Im leaving all my friends.
all of us will be going in different directions,
very little time to meet up & talk nonsense.
but nvm, like what I told layhoon,
next time drag you guys out one by one.

the worse part about this holiday is that,
most people are working their asses off,
thus leaving lesser time for outings & fun.

close a page of a book & another unfolds.
tertiary education's on the brink of beginning,
new friends, new teachers, new fun.
so it isn't all tears & sorrow now is it?
at least you're anticipating something else,
of which maybe better than what you have now.

might consider writing paragraphs to everyone next time,
but for now, am gonna leave this entry hanging here.
some morning jog to blow away the blues!

(:

2007-11-17T09:08:00.000+08:00

the holidays are a total bore,
especially when you're broke & all day at home.
not to mention, getting struck sick at the start.
flu + sorethroat + phglem.
the flu season is here & it sucks.
Im sniffling like some shit high on drugs.

other than that, prom was rather monotonous.
a lack of enthusiasm in most of us.
the band + music + videos were good though.
we took lotsa photographs everywhere we went.
& my darn old camera being a bitch at the wrong time,
had to die on low battery while I was happily snapping.
I swear Im gonna buy a new one, fast!

alrightey & just in case you're wondering,
the photographs aren't up cos my computer sucks just as bad.
it's running on windows 98 & can't do much.
have to wait for dad to return to upload on his laptop
& then upload from there; TROUBLESOME!

okay, so went with shikin for PAE this morning.
& damned, I woke up late as usual.
(set the alarm clock at the wrong time)
turns out it didn't matter if you were late,
cos that teacher was gonna sit there for a long time.
wasted the blings on taxi fare, urrrfgh.
went to mac/inter to have a long talk.
then went back to school cos mr chua had some issues.

& now am at home in my stuffy room,
typing like some nerd & sniffling like a drug addict.
gotta take some panadol later
& I don't like the sound of that one bit!

everything's pretty much fine now, all in place.
thank goodness.
I can't wait for NYEC gathering!

bingbang walawala.

2007-11-14T09:44:00.000+08:00

went shopping with mom in the afternoon,
headed to parkway parade for a spree.
went to esprit to get the last piece of trenchcoat dress.
like thank god they have it.
& there was this girl who wanted to try it after me.
a minute late & it would have been gone.
oh-boy, lucky me.

then got around topshop, dorothy perkins, novo etc
to look for boots/pumps/gladiators to fit the clothe.
most of the heels were outrageously high!
like duh; I'd obviously fall flat on my ass looking wanked.
was this close to getting the button flat pumps from dp,
but went to topshop & found this silver glittery studded pumps.
so bought that instead,
of cos the price was also very 'studded',
a whooping 83 buckaroos!

looked for a couple of accesories to glam it up,
but all were a lil too bulky/bright/prodigiously plain,
so Im gonna use my orange crystal instead.

alas, a day well spent; didn't come home empty-handed.
tomorrow's the big day alrd!
can't believe I procastinated until the last minute.
it gives you anxiety attacks; very bad!

anyhoodles, I realised we're one of the only schools,
holding prom night in school after texting the others.
mostly were hotels town.
our theme clinched the weirdest award too.
other schools had themes such as;
Dazzle or Glitz and Glamour.
oh well, it's too late to whine now, no?

& yes, I've sorted out my thoughts.
it's of no use brooding over such issues.
it's just another aspect of life you gotta go through.
well I've picked myself up & Im not going down anytime soon.
it's almost all smiles now.

ps: oh & retail therapy sure did the trick too!

2007-11-14T03:40:00.000+08:00

yeah whatever, say whatever pleases you.
just remember that what goes around comes around.
if you have the guts to betray others,
why don't you pluck up your courage to admit?

everything's gonna be over pretty soon,
it doesn't really matter what the outcome is,
because it's a huge lesson learnt.
you can't trust anyone,
not even your best friends.

lovetorn, it's over, Im in deep shit bodoh!

2007-11-13T14:44:00.000+08:00

better by far you should forget & smile,
than that you should remember and be sad.

don't be sorry for the things you did,
be sorry for the things you didn't do.

randomness + dkdc.

2007-11-12T02:00:00.000+08:00

oh & I just realised I haven't done any shopping,
for prom/christmas/vaccations.
dammit, three more days to prom.
haven't written that speech,
haven't shopped for the item,
I need to get my lazy butt moving outta the house!

I have two ideas of the type of outfits to get,
but haven't got any clue where to start searching.
Im gonna get my hands on all the magazines I can find
at the 'mama' shop then start looking!
oh yeah!~~~~~

I seriously like this vista laptop manz, it rocks.
got webcam + msgr paint + adobe + msgr voice +
every damn shit that my old comp. doesn't have.
Im gonna own one someday, you'll see!

mom says we're likely to be heading to taiwan,
which is really quite diabolical to me,
cos I can't stand looking at everything cheena,
eating cheena + talking cheena + shopping cheena,
it will kill me!

alrightey, Im getting a lil cranky here.
Im out.

the picturez.

2007-11-12T01:52:00.000+08:00

at safra's; before swimming.

in 168 after swimming + getting tanned like pigs.

afternoon at ili's place, I was tired like a log aft swimming,
plus the afternoon heat was overwhelming,
closed my eyes for a while & they took this.

Im going for morning cycle later on,
yipeee + sleep all day just like ystd.
omg, sleeping is so wondrous.
I loike.

oh-yay-yes!

2007-11-11T09:54:00.000+08:00

this saturday has got to be one of the worst.
woke up at ten in the morning,
went to east coast to rollerblade for a lil while.
dark clouds casted overhead,
bring light precipitation of raindrops upon my head,
not to mention the soil particles clinging on my feet.
it was gross, but I went on anyway,
then sores + blisters formed on my legs,
called dad to come pick me up; thank god.

got home from that godforsaken park,
took a long warm bath & slept for ages!
whee & just had some milo while helping dad
with some routine paperwork stuff.
now am just waiting for dinner time to arrive,
cos I haven't had a single meal since I woke up.
yep, just a bottle of grape sportade to keep me going.

I so totally can't wait for the weekdays to come,
like being able to spend time w/ all ma' friends!
ohyes, plus the perks of upcoming
shopping sprees + sports + exercise.
yesyesyes!

oh & my my tan is getting worse.
afternoon swims are really a huge no-no.
my face is so red now,
plus I have this huge tanned 'lobang' on my back,
doing such injustice to the eyes.

& did I mention that weekdays are better than weekends?
I mean since the O's are over.
cos I used to stay home during the weekends to study,
but now with the O's over,
the weekends are pretty boring.

ohwell, I can't wait for tertiary education to start!
I never did fully understand why people hated school so much.

a real blog post.

2007-11-10T00:20:00.000+08:00

seems like the school-hours sleeping clock hasn't weared off yet,
cos every morning, my eyes creep open at the same time.
which can be quite annoying cos I'd like more sleep,
but once Im awake, that's quite a difficult feat.

have been exercising with shikin day in & day out,
very exhausting but fufilling since it cuts the flabs.
plus it's almost cost-free!
speaking of costs, haven't bought any prom outfits.
definitely not some sassy prom dress,
but something smart/casual, I need more time!
reason no. 1: Im broke.
reason no. 2: haven't lost enough flabs yet!

oh well, have got some resolutions for this vaccation,
things I wanna accomplish & get over + done with.
1. exercise thrice a week.
2. get enough sleep to get rid of those eyebags.
3. clear out my entire wardrobe.
4. source for xmas/overseas clothes.
5. get my red sony cybershot DSC-T100 camera.

aha, that's just a basic skim-through.
need to do a lil bit more to earn some extra bucks!
alrighty, gonna get ready to go swimming with ili.
& afternoon lunch at her place with girlfriends!
(:

ley.

2007-11-09T15:32:00.000+08:00

this was how I spent deepavali;
swimming + cycling + soaking up the sun.
super exhausting but I loike.
it beats shopping anytime!

(in the morning)

(& the afternoon)

the best vaccation yet,

sports + exercise = fun.

the best vaccation yet.

2007-11-09T02:15:00.000+08:00

went for a tennis session with shikin yesterday,
we died running around + picking up balls,
for one & a half hour in total.
ohmygod.

gave up & went cycling with gang instead.
gen + layhoon + nat joined us.
cycled for two hours,
screamed & hollered at people like mad,
asked the joggers to run faster,
& the skaters to skate faster,
it was hilarious!

after that went to parkway's for dinner.
ate mushroom you-mian, it's superb!
drank milo-peng then bus ride home.

today heading for swimming with ili + shikin.
then cycling once more!
this vaccation is fruitful, no?

leave you with some pictures now.
(I said SOME, not all bodoh.)
xoxo

a lil love.

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

yesterday was the last O level paper!
(for most of us at least)
were so overjoyed when we were released!
it was like being liberated from this cage,
a subtle yet vivid feeling of freedom.
oh well, it is such a relief!

after school,
went out with lotsa girlfriends!
shikin + ili + natalie + gen + layhoon.
first head to Bugis.
darn neoprint station didn't exist anymore.
hopped back onto the subway train to Cine.
ate at Esteller 77 + took neoprints.

after that went straight to Vivo to get movie tix.
The Last Breath.
it was super boring & no life at all initially,
but as the story progressed,
it finally worked out to be a horror flick,
rather than some ramblings of a hospital intern.
but screaming out loud sure was crazy.

then head to the sky garden,
took pictures again & again & again.
dipped into the water pool,
of which ili says children pee and poop in.

around nine plus, went to LJS to eat.
then head to Mac with nat + gen,
had some talk about random stuff.
reached home at round 11.30 & bunked in.

(Monday's cycling with shikin)

(After O's)

trust me, there are like so many more picture!
this was only up till cineleisure.
the ones we took at vivo aren't up yet,
cos I haven't got them on my cellph, duh!
alrighty, heading for some breakfast now.
& afternoon tennis with shikin!
whee.

sweet stuff I am not.

2007-11-05T18:06:00.000+08:00

some pictures from jogging the other day.

ili kept pulling us to trudge on,

and the next day we were dead beat.

talk about fatigue!

there's this fucking irritating song on the radio now.

hey there delilah blablabla.

omg, bloody exasperating rhythm.

only the whiny dumbshit voice yanking on & on.

I swear I hate that song.

whiny songs suck big time.

especially if the lead is tone-deaf!

as you can probably tell,

Im going nuts staying @ home all day just mugging.

damn right, it's driving me up the wall.

Im gonna cycle cycle cycle later.

I need some endorphins in my bloodstream!

the O's are zapping the life outta me.

ohmygod, Im going bananas.

GRRRRRRRR.

yipee.

2007-11-05T10:41:00.000+08:00

revising for social studies is so tedious,
well not as in sweat tedious,
but the more you read on, the more tired you get.
it's horrible really.
figured out I'll probably study at night.
somehow the tranquil helps deposit the info to my brain.
oh well.

have been transferring songs in & outta my cellph.
very nonsensical, but there's a lack of space,
so explains the umpteen times I have to carry out this routing.
when the heck is xmas coming anyway?!
it's time for the period of presents please!

& my favourite prog KYLE XY wasn't on today.
no thanks to Barclay nehneh dunno what.
like wth, I was waiting for that show.
checked teletext & the entire schedule,
was hogged by some other no-life LIVE series.
I can't believe people actually stand in the scorching sun,
to hit one stupid teeny weeny ball into a whole,
which doesn't make you lose any flabs,
all in the name of being HIGH CLASS.
ohmygod, people are so superficial these days.

oh & I wanna get a camera during dec.
either a Holga or a Sony (or maybe both)
polaroid's out cos it's all the rage now,
don't wanna follow the crowd just for the sake of it.
oh yay, the holidays!
the O's difficulty & stress is seriously overrated.
it gives you a suspense of your results,
plus the month-long holidays you'll get to indulge in.
that's my two cents worth anyway.

alrightey, now for some Gilmore Girls.
(:

MY stands for mingyang.

2007-11-05T03:03:00.000+08:00

Of all the major papers so far,
I've gotta say science was most pressurising.
had to stay up all night to give myself reassurance.
what's more, I couldn't sleep a wink,
pondering over if I would make or break.
thank goodness the paper turned out pretty okay.

well, had dinner with gran yesterday.
some szechuan spread for five.
it was sour + sweet + salty champok all together,
didn't really appeal to my tastebuds.
apart from the main course, everything else was good.
especially the durian pudding.

okay, I shouldn't be talking bout food cos I'll get tempted.
yeesh, I so can't wait for the class chalet!
oh-my-oh-my!

anyhoodles, have been jogging with shikin for 4 days straight.
muscles are screaming silently in pain.
couldn't walk properly yesterday.
can't laugh too hard cos my stomach hurts.
basically it sucks, but we're still gonna continue!
hoho, undeterred.

okie dokie, am gonna start on my mugging streak.
everyone of you should too.
alrightey, ciao!

I LOVE YOU GUYS LOADS!

an enjoyable workout; sweat it out baybeh!

2007-11-02T02:15:00.000+08:00

yesterday was almost too horrible.
had to stay at home all day, just to revise.
sat in my room all afternoon reading through biology.
it was such a drag, lack of interest.
& I was going at such a slow pace.

then shikin texted me to go jogging.
like the exercise so totally perked me up!
we went at 5.30, saw loads of pingyi people.
lower sec + upper sec having bbq; back-to-back pits.
said hello to eve & stuff.
then ran up and down & head to the exercise corner.
did sit-ups + monkey bars + leg exercise.
darn energetic, then drank Gatorade.

went together to parkway's popular to get my books,
then head home to have dinner with mom&dad.
did a bit of biology, then slept.
today's gonna be physics revision,
then jog again in the evening.
oh-yeah!

(in our last high school lesson; social studies)

(this was taken earlier this year)

a super october.

2007-10-31T06:37:00.000+08:00

lunch time today was totally outrageous + coincidental!
first off, at KFC, saw all the elementary school mateys!
people like nisha, sharif, matthew, amirul, etc!
machiam on some gathering espionage of sorts.

while we were munching on & on,
kept screaming k's name,
& when nat made a 'manly' voice scream,
I choked on my chicken that was stuck!
like totally stuck in my throat man.
(but the choke on hershey's choc during phys class was worse,
cos it was sharp and pokey!)

yeah, it was loads of fun.
myself + ili + shikin + natalie + layhoon + audi
it was a total blast, couldn't have asked for more.

anyway, went to the library next.
we were playing the 'fart' recording to pretend
like as if we were really farting, damn silly.
and we scared the shit outta shikin at the staircase
at the black-cushion place,
started writing our names & making odd faces with it.
plus we used the earphones + ear pieces as props.

now back home.
am gonna hit the sacks real soon,
but thought of blogging on the laptop
so that don't need so 'mafan' to transfer the photos over.
=B

(At Kfc's today)

(At the libary today)

(Last friday, I think)

PS: this was in the MLC where the whole gang

of us (girls + boys) attacked pranesh

and slotted this Isetan bag on his head.

(Sunday's while mugging)

veergh?

2007-10-28T10:25:00.000+08:00

this saturday morning is an exasperating one.
first off, it was raining cats & dogs the entire morning,
dashing the plans of routine weekend jogs.
not to mention, having toured the east bookshop outlets,
couldn't find any emath ten year series,
cos every single damned outlet was out of stock.
money makes the world go round?
I think not.

oh & the lizard phobia's returning again.
there's this 'well-preserved' lizard carcass,
hidden at the dad's car's backlights.
you can even see the vertebrate; downright gross!
& while I chanced upon this other blog,
it had a picture of a smacked-dead gecko,
which is really grotesque cos the image is still in my head.
to top it all off,
my kitchen has this fat giant lizard,
then scurried past the cabinet as I was grabbing a plate.
lizards should be exterminated for the good of mankind.
we can leave the clearing of flies and pests
to advanced mechanisms that zaps the life outta them,
seriously.

you don't get a reward for loving someone that long.

2007-10-28T01:55:00.000+08:00

this was during some boring math class,
where the teacher kept yanking non-stop.
aha, check out ili's rambutan + durian design!

anyways, went jogging on friday with shikin.
saw very few people, let alone cgs.
drank a whole bottle of Gatorade.
way too much, almost puked my guts out.

studying for emath now.
so pissed with the questions,
amath is like so much more straightforward.

so next week is like crash-course revision.
so many subjects in a week.
oh my god.

the air amidst the construction area is suffocating.
sneezing the life outta myself everyday.
VRRRRGH.

amath hurray!

2007-10-24T12:26:00.000+08:00

amath paper is finally over, whoopee!
went to eat with the girls as usual.
we did the weirdest of stuff.

twitching our noses from left to right,
trying to 'stretch' our face skin,
sway our heads 360 degrees.

oh & genevieve's laughter is the most hilarious!
she has this buck's bunny teeth and paws while laughing.
looks almost like a polar bear developing spasm.
too bad it wasn't caught on camera, aww!
=B

while on our way to get some doughnuts,
nearby at the inter this old guy collapsed.
like, yes! roll on the floor.
shikin was pretrified & I kept swirling around her.
the guy wasn't actually dead YET & she went,
"ehhh Joyce! don't see alr la, he die already!"
MAAAAAAAAAK.
and the next thing, the guy got up.

went to buy doughnuts & took 197/196 with them.
continued with the nose twitching.
today was very joyful, oh yes.

I sorta detest this computer software of mine.
it doesn't support any latest tech.
which is super pathetic,
cos I gotta beg the shits outta my bro,
just to transfer songs & pictures for me from dad's laptop.
I don't care, Im gonna learn myself!
BRRRGH.

the ultimate worst thing is,
ever since the two week hibernation, (house shift)
my comp. doesn't respond to certain clicks.
like what!?

oh & yesyes, thx to shikin with the help today!
ehhh, nongnong!
the oatmeal cereal cookies totally rock!
:D

picture perfect.

2007-10-24T02:35:00.000+08:00

(centralised class portrait)

(we were supposed to make silly faces)

(teresa's sweet sixteen)

(ili's sweet sixteen)

(just before english mock)

alas, I can upload the pictures & music.
praise the lord.

a lovely october night.

2007-10-20T15:03:00.000+08:00

friday (ystd) was hilarious + fun.
during first lesson, didn't go to the classroom.
instead, sat outside and a handful of us,
took pictures + videos with the form teacher.
talked about pocong & some of them freaked out.

after that went to mlc with the crew.
took truckloads of pictures.
tied our hair like coconut trees.
after a while got bored.
so all of us targeted pranesh & 'gangbang' him.

english was uber bored.
had to write some argumentative stuff,
then listen to the teacher yank on & on.
after that went to sign our names on the cards.

went to ljs with shikin to study in the afternoon.
natalie joined us a lil later.
started shouting perry's name.
so darn funny, shikin was sabo-ed.
laugh until we were giddy and giler.

took bus, came back home.
the 'upgrading' looks more like downgrading.
cos my initially indigo toilet shrunk to 3/4 of its size.
& the colours are so unfit for visual pleasures.
talk about 'upgrades'!

confr with gen & nat at night.
talked about random stuff, secrets + nicknames & all.
hoho, for about one hour or so till 12.

just went jogging with shikin + nats.
fish + pork porridge for breakfast.
am off to do some amath revision now!
