Baby, you're the best I ever had (:

2011-07-19T15:45:00.000+08:00

Baby, I wished the words you wanted to tell me were face-to-face because with time..even though you sounded so serious, I will never get the reassurance that this was the best way to go for the both of us. But today is just a day that I will remember and laugh at how I thought that you were just fooling around with your dad, especially when you will be gone for a while from here. And no one knows what I really am...and this is probably the choice you will regret making.

It never occurred to me that your actions were planned for the way it is, but they all fit perfectly now.

Concluding this amazing Semester 1. I can say that I was blessed with help from my senior and he provided a series of eye-openers that no one will ever give to me. A senior who has been undergoing one major setback in his life which made him appear to have altered his self-esteem and confidence in life to reach his expectations. With a mind of his own, I have walked through a dark side of myself whilst I was hanging out with him. There are situations to which my friends would never imagine me being tangled into. In fact, it was these experiences to which I was never prepared for that have made a significant impact to my life for this semester. And now, with circumstances changed, I have time to reflect but still able to move on.

People change with time, don't they? But the thing I never got to comprehend was the cold demeanor he was showing since exams started and now, done. It felt nothing like the friend I met. Nothing of the friend I once knew. His words became blunt and crude. I felt like I had committed a huge mistake whilst studying for the final semester exams. All I feel now, is guilt for actions I never knew what I did. And this is the time, when both my friend and I felt...he has changed. But don't you think it's strange to why I would write just a post all revolving around him?

I am truly grateful for all the help he rendered while I moved into a unit to which I had to set up Internet, electricity and buying of furniture. I felt so lost and aimless for the whole half of the semester and he had always been there to lend a hand and bring me to places to get stuffs for home. The gratitude can never be shown just with merely a simple thanks. I owe it all to him.

...All the way till what I see in front of me now, scared me. The friend I face now felt like he was being taken over by depression. Ripped from cheerfulness, even though it had been months since the last incidence. I failed to become someone whom he can turn and talk to. I wished I was able to do more than to stand by and watch him stand up from his fall. People say time heals everything, but actually, it really isn't the case. I know it can be really difficult to collect yourself from falling so hard and yet, face the difficulty of coping with these emotions which forbid you to overcome your feelings for her. At this stage, there is simply no reason for you to hold on and just let the memory be safekept and move on. Take it as a turning point in life. There are always reasons to which you are unable to account for because I ain't that close to you, but I really hope that you can be truthful to yourself. Do not let her short walk-in to your life be the reason to destroy what you're capable of showing of yourself. And no matter what happens, I will always be someone you can turn to.

Words hold much impact. I question the credibility of your words and you always shoot back at me with question marks. I despise having to answer questions on questions I pose. Having to keep guessing what you actually meant to have said. It is finally time I decided to take a step back from you now. Because whenever we talk about this topic, I feel so helpless and hopelessness just overwhelmed my conscience. It really is the black hole. I never felt so demoralised. I never felt so evil in my heart and mind to criticise every sentence you type. Whenever you ask a question, it felt like your responses have instilled in me a devil's mindset. The intentions to drown you in complete depression and pulling you deeper into the depths of darkness. I never managed to figure out the reason why, but I know that my responses were never meant to be phrased that way if I were comforting someone else. So I don't understand why.

I am probably here typing this post to reflect on what I have done. To reflect why my actions were specially cruel to you...even I am very much aware of.

And the words I wish to put through to you: I really understand how much you are being put through, and it is definitely hundred times more damaging. In sem 1, I probably walked you through 4 months before you decided that a cold shoulder was the best to act out against me and possibly your friends too. That is fine. Just remember that I'll never abandon you as a friend and I will still watch you stand up no matter how slow you pick up yourself from there. And even if you will never know, I will cheer for you when you have finally pulled yourself past this ordeal. I am sorry that I cannot offer you more than what I can now. My mind can't distinguish what's best to type for you and what's not. For now, reflection is key.

Reflecting back, I had 6 important people who have been my encouragement this semester...and especially my dear coursemates. It would have been easier to recount it person-by-person, but in general, this semester was filled with light-hearted joy, laughter and surprises.

A story left to be told.

2011-03-15T15:47:00.001+08:00

Even in my eyes, the situation yesterday was really too absurd to even think what will become of it. With conversations exchanged for over 2 days in a row on topics far beyond what I would have covered...a territory no one dared to walk it through. The actions both on our part are to be pondered upon. If it crosses way beyond, what do you think I ought to do? Just when I thought it was over and left the old back there, I am faced with an entire new situation. It's not like I didn't expect it to happen...but I've succumbed to it.

I've no stamina right? I feel really strange.

I can't believe I closed the conversation down and backed away from lappy...it's not like I'd have to do what I ought to do. It was not like the time when I would love to sit around and wait for your reply. It was more like I want to step away from the stuffiness that started to reach beyond what I deem as comfortable. Say...isn't being stuffy uncomforting?

On the other hand, I really didn't expect him to do what he did...and the thoughts that ran through his mind. He must have been really depressed and desperately needs an outlet. I truly cannot offer more than I can right now.

Tell me...what's going on? This semester is full of odd occurrences...

Shan't shy away from ourselves.

Have we started doubting our personal abilities and start thinking of alternatives to take over a duty that has a responsibility too hard to handle? (That's me actually) Become valuable to yourself and to the peers who look up to you or who might look for such assistance in the future.

HUGS <3

In any ways, congrats to my dear friend who was desperate at the last-minute in her search for someone to do an edit/review of her essay, because she was not one to do well in essays (and hence, she took this course). Well, we both had a hard time rushing out at the last 15 mins or so trying to cut down over 100 words :D Sure she had plenty of grammer and rephrasing issues (of lifted sentences from references), but it was all ironed out. Initially doubted that I helped her a lot as she exceeded about 40 words during submission, but she did the best I've ever seen her done (like borderline pass)! (: 34/35! omg! *SCREAMS* And truthfully, her essay was well-structured and that did make the grammer editing and reading so much easier. Think she has learnt a lot from this course, whether she believes it or not. An improvement that will deem useful in her future lab reports.

And this gave me the confidence of doing edits in the future for any one who needs help. Hahaha~ Or I will try. Won't say I'm the best, but I personally like essays that flow well to me.

I love them all~

There are many things left unsaid and they should just be left this way. Because everything will sour if it winds and heads in the wrong direction. Or we just don't want to take the risk. We ain't the kind to test waters that have cons that we dislike to deal with. Maybe it's time to take a step out and attempt to make the first move out from our comfort zone. What is there to lose, when life is just that short to live?

Gives a sense of protection and comfort.

Have been seeing myself heading out more often than I really used to, that I've taken aback plenty of peeps and even sometimes, my family. Shopping out with friends and now this... Lol, my parents are so ready to let me head out even though they aren't sure how protected I'd be. My new discovery: Mummy's definition of drinking = clubbing. What was she thinking? Shan't bother correcting her >< But she definitely know what spiking is. She trusts.

More than I can ask for.

Girlfriends for CNY! (: We went for the visiting during 3rd day of CNY after lunch to Huiwen's, Jean's and my place. Can't believe we gambled upon it. LOL! Still, it was successful, even if some of us were super shagged (: And Running Man has gone on to be the new addiction for all my cousins! Hahahah~ spread the love of Yoo Jae Suk and korean variety shows. We actually watched 3+ hours watching one episode after another, after we ate our steamboat dinner. I really love CNYs that are followed by weekends! Because that means our holiday breaks are sweeter and longer! And we can all stay even longer at my cousin's home to play and watch shows. Will remain this as one of my memories of CNY, before I miss 2 years worth of ang paos, catch up with cousins and friend gathering...

The feeling that will last as long I want to remember.

Jon is here for Chinese New Year visiting! (: Arriving on the second day of new year! Lots of places we are going as a family because of his arrival. Hahaha~ And I am now craving to go to Sentosa Flowers exhibit. But now I think about it, I don't feel like heading there any more. Because the flowers would be all faded out and wilting. Where's the joy in that? Besides that, we will also be pruning and all. Gonna be a fun week indeed! (:

'Cos it is special to me.

When we sit down and just relax. Enjoying ourselves to the fullest. Will we know how much we miss each other. The gals who make post-JC life memorable and special. Whether our actions have caused misunderstandings and unfavourable judgements on one another, at least we know we can be there for each other when we need one.

Complete disregard. ((:

Thanks everyone!

Happy Lunar New Year, everyone!!

I am going to trust my instincts and just stop right there (:
Trial and error on a delicate situation is just telling you straight in the face that you are simply playing your luck. Whether you are lucky or not is determined by the level of experience and judgement you set them out to be. With my take, I am going to soften the suspicion and just let things flow~ It's a matter of giving it up. Heheh.

This lunar new year is one event I will never forget and treasure it for the next 2 years to come. No one knows how much this long duration of separation and not meeting up regularly can change every single one of us. Sometimes no change is all good and well, but on the other hand, it just means that we have not matured in any way. Wouldn't that be a pessimistic picture? How about...we stay the same in character and personality but changed in our maturity, in better understanding ourselves. Hey wait, wouldn't that mean you have a different set of outlook of life?

Just merely mentioning - 2 years is rather short. It leaves you stumped for words. No one can really put into that person's shoes..how hard it is to be separated from a place that you dearly loved and spent most of your life in. Adapting? I have relatively accepted that life is just that fragile. Always changing and subjected to how optimistic and pessimistic you choose to look upon the situation. Pessimism is just seeking for trouble and all would say - digging your own hole. It is a simple sweet phrase we all tend to say. Practice what you preach. I believe it a lot. Friends I've encountered may miss their family loads in Singapore, embrace the whole truth and take it on themselves like it was their fault. Their sufferings that they have to leave their own comfort zone. But is it really worthy of you crying for half a year or a year?

Situational awareness. I have to work on this. I may be sensitive to a small extent. There are other things I have to sensitise myself to. Way more than what I perceive it to initially be. Takes courage to peek out of that shell. Chicken! :O

2011-02-01T20:34:00.001+08:00

A reminiscence of what I imagined to be a small little living organism. I think I am stuck in a childhood illusion, with those bright little lighted flowers that float and shimmer in the darkness on the waters. The flowers' beauty that gets unfolded with each crease and curve. Isn't that a pretty sight to behold? (:

I've received a gift from Shirlyn, a dear primary school classmate of mine and it has proven to be a very inspirational read. And yes, I acknowledge my goldfish memory of mine. I will just post up the key ideas I've extracted from the book so far.

And two of which were to allow a child to develop their own sense of creativity whether it is to ask personally to paint his/her own room and to allow them to have a freedom of their own without restricting them much in what they really wish to do. The moral? To let a child continue his dreams, allowing him to let his imagination flow. Get him to believe he can do it. And then, I start wondering...what had caused me to hide inside my own shell? This shell that requires coaxing and adapting before anyone can see the real me. See what I truly want to do.

In the course of my life throughout these years toward my 21st. I've encountered several obstacles, which I've gradually relented and hence, accepted in my life. Obstacles which blinded me on every path I wanted to go. But to think of it now, even though I've been encouraging my friends to take this obstacle as a challenge and to weave their way around it, I for one do not practice what I preach. Instead, I've slammed myself onto this obstacle. Right smack in the middle. Not even a single part of my body was peeking out from this huge 'wall'. It is as if I've sacrificed my dreams, my inspiration to it. I've dreamt a dream, but I've caused it to remain as a dream..thinking that I will never have the capabilities to do so.

Will I be able to love the work I am doing? That's up to me. Will I love myself for being the person I am portraying. That's up to me. Will I love the listless life I lead because I refuse to break out from this person I am now letting others know? That's up to me.

And for this, I would really love to get back on my feet and tread through this difficult path...to uncover a different set of confidence, a new set of goals. And shed a part of my shell to show the style I would love to adopt ((:

If you have the will, there is always a way...don't they always say?
In my case, the will will be to create opportunities and open doors to improvement.

Celebrating Bee Teng's cum Brenda's birthday on Saturday at Chevrons was really awesome! (: Hope everyone had a blast there, despite the messy BBQ experience under the rain. Besides that, finally got to see Oreo & Cheesecake! Ahhhh~ *screams* KAWAII! ^^

Well, next birthday party is gonna be a miss. Awww~ I wish I will be here to join Wei Jie's bday party (: It's a super awesome time to gather and have fun! Plus, celebrate each other's coming-of-age to embrace adulthood, another chapter of their lives.

And today, I've finally completed my CNY shopping on my own at Bugis in 1.5 hours! :D Happy me! Actually, the dress top kinda caught my eye in less than half an hour, but I decided to comb around Bugis to confirm my choice. And after which, joined bx in his own search of CNY outfit :D To come to realise, I actually prefer that to shopping with Jie. Smooth, fast...short and sweet~ my style. Hahaha...weird out. But personally, I feel that I am not as fast as I think myself to be. Kekekeke... And I swear never to head to town for such sprees unless I have more than a week to find an outfit. Because, none of the shops actually fit the type I'm looking for.

I couldn't believe myself for staying up late, napping for less than 2 hours and heading out for shopping at 2 plus. Hahaha~ Made me super exhausted. And have I ever said that the colour of the sea overlooking onto Sentosa was bright turquoise?? If I had my camera charged and on hand, I would've captured the scenary. It was really fascinating (:

Well, besides that...I've nothing much to say ((:

2011-01-24T09:50:00.003+08:00

I try to keep this blog happy in every other way, but this is kinda abandoned and unvisited which is just perfect for me to type and think. But still post it. I apologise to myself for being so random and unsettled. With my 21st bday over, it brought along a new set of worries and my mum takes it hard upon both me and my sis to embrace independence. But Jie feels that she doesn't have that feeling of letting go. But as a mother, it's really hard to give trust upon us to be independent on our own. Was speaking to Pris over a call last night and came to realise that there are a lot of things I failed to perceive and that relations just shy away from what seemingly is real on the outside. With the passing years, relations just sour if they want to or find a way to. People do move on and sometimes, we have no clue whether it's right to let go and accept the reality.

I am not afraid to say that my thinking is a bit on the simple-minded side. Lacking of maturity. And that dealing with situations like this, doesn't feel like I am doing it right...or if I am stretching it a bit too far with my imagination. An opinion to form. I take it upon myself to change the way I look upon situations and mingling around with ppl. A maturity in the way of thinking. Opinions I refuse to form because I don't entirely trust myself to push it through. An effort I don't wish to exert. To put myself in the disadvantage and akwardness.

In this year, I shall entrust myself into confiding in friends whom I trust...that I've never done since a long time ago.

Relishing the times that I really missed my childhood life. Because then, I have been so carefree and innocent and all of my dearest escapades. Now, it's like self-awareness back again. Calling for confidence in what I decide to do, and never falter in my decisions. I shouldn't make people at fault, when they shouldn't be. I shouldn't be in self-denial in what I wanted to be.

Personal thoughts...

2010-01-24T16:36:00.002+08:00

My happy blog! ^-^ It really has been a while since I last blogged here, haven't I? It's really such a common sentence to read now (and so I found out).

Going to make a key decision for the fate of the entire forum. Truthfully, being an admin is truly not an easy matter. I will never try to become one, unless a similar situation happens. But subbers out there are really kind and generous with their time as well! I still remain in close contact with many of them, despite my disappearance in the kpop world for 5 months. And they really are a bunch of people whom I can really count on when I need help as well. Well, for their expertise. However, I learnt almost every single process to doing a perfect episode to pass it off as a moderate (possibly, not the best).

Well, Family Outing's interest has completely died on me. I am not sure if it was through the process of doing admin and being piled on several different tasks. Or was it, because the episodes of Family Outing were not done with that expertise that I sought from them. Ahh well~ I can't ask for more, can I?

On with another thing...

I wonder how much mummy remembers... When something is done for weeks, and I suddenly stop doing it for even one day...she will say that I've not done it at all. It's like dismissing every single effort that I have made. I hate CNYs. I despise CNYs! From the very basic of buying new clothes which is forever my nightmare and torture, that comes in a bulky package of naggings.. Afterwhich, I will be attacked with more because I work on cleaning the house when mummy is not around. But....no....even if you tell her, she won't listen and assumes you are lazing away. That's horrid!

Now, why don't I do it when she is around then? Because I can play korean songs and I'll be in such a happy mood. Plus, there won't be new jobs that add on to the burden! Why can't she do things one at a time....??? No time? There's still plenty of time! January is still here... It hasn't gone~

Well, rants are meant for my other blog...but I will keep it at this.

2009-03-28T18:39:00.002+08:00

I am not monitoring this at all...

Firstly, I have finally sent in the documents to NUS and now, I will have to wait until I get an acceptance offer. I wonder...if I do not even get a single offer, what will my decision later? I modified my choices yesterday, with a consideration of other courses - but I made sure that the most simple factor exists - the slightest interest in it.

But I prefer getting the first choice...like who doesn't?

Secondly, I am shocked over the sudden decision to leave but I do understand how it feels...to not be heard, to handle every single thing on her own without the other admins help, to juggle the forum with all her school work...and lots more. She is my consultant..I do feel that the forum will change drastically from now on, but I do have a feel that it may turn even uglier.

But unlike a couple of them, I may have lost a little interest in the show but I still can carry on without fearing the show. So, I might continue until I am dis-satisfied. Will continue learning...then, I shall transfer over...with better skills! LOL.

Now, HW will surely understand me...She, somehow, knows that I am busy with it. ^^

My only consolation is that a small group of us express an interest in opening another forum. To what it is...you probably could guess. Just think along the lines of: AHAHAHAH!

LOL.

I love it. I totally love it! Ahh, hope she doesn't see this post at all. *prays*

Alright, another thing...my orchid plants are dying. Sobs sobs...it's spreading too! I wonder whether I should take it out or send it to the lab. Will call them next week. *Sobs!*

2009-03-19T18:51:00.002+08:00

Okay, the previous post is just me being funny. Lol.

Shall try to recall everything...

On Saturday, from just the enthusiasm of a few people to a big group of girls making their way down to NTU. One, for breakfast and the other for another breakfast and another at NTU. Basically, there were three small groups which combined to become one huge one! Okay, I am not making much sense. Hahaha...oh dear!

Anyway, I missed the most exciting part of staff meeting for F.O., but oh well, I cannot prevent that from happening. I guess I will have to clarify later next week, since Episode 9 is still quite messed up.

After attending both open houses, there is a slight change of preference regarding both universities. A strange pull towards the opposite direction. I hope I can prove myself wrong. Somehow, I am putting more effort toward a more obvious choice than the other. But I will eventually submit both. ^^

Confused me...stranded again. I never thought I would possess such a pessimistic mindset, such that I have become a sadistic-optimist. Haha..is that right? No.. Lol. But hanging around different groups have indeed caused me to think differently. The younger me was more resilient to temptations. The older me is more submissive..I think. There is a change. I still cannot pinpoint that change. Maybe I should..Or at least, not think about it.

Went to the OG Sale yesterday with my mum and sister & ended up buying a pillowcase for my baby pillow..aww! Dinosaurs! Haha. Whoops! A pair of shoes for school, which is a loooooong way. And I am pretty happy with what I bought. Yeah, it was packed with a big crowd and a super long queue - an hour to pay for 9-15 sets of items! Yup! But it was a super fun shopping trip!

But I was tired..exhausted!

1 set of bedsheets, an umbrella (the only thing that my sister bought. Like whhaaat?? ^^), one bottle for soy sauce (the cheapest item bought), several other necessities.

Dragged home lots of stuff and a trip wasted to Cold Storage. Honesty.. =))

I have to rush out my application by this week latest to NTU (first), then NUS. I have a general idea of how I should lay out my ideas but I will get to them by tomorrow. At least, lay out the main points to cover - for elaboration. Ma fan! But worth it...

Otherwise, I will just laze around.

Family Outing is going to come out! Love it loads! But the efforts put forth is a pain! You can never imagine. - . -

Oh, met Ms Lim today, with her younger twin sister. Remember them? Haha, they stay just a block away from my home..hope you all remember them. =)

Was telling her about my grades and she said that GP is not really a problem. Haha. And she gave me a little information on the course of Life Sci. (i.e. difference between NTU and NUS). Yup, but I was going for swimming at JE so I did not have a chance to speak to her longer. Her advice? Try different universities. SMU, NUS and NTU. Yup. So, I shall just convey her message to you all. YUP. Oh, also, SIM was more popular for her batch - because it is kind of new...so don't be surprise! ^^

Okies..will type more next time.

I got sunburnt..even when the sun is not that hot today. Hmm, strange. I don't get sunburn that easily. Haha. Strange sun. Dangerous too.

Alright! Tata!

2009-03-17T22:00:00.003+08:00

Ehehehe...thought that I had a new interesting post? Dream a little longer... *beams!*

Lots have happened and I hate elaboration, hate explaining.
So much to say but too little effort put forth.
I wonder......

Scratch that..totally unreliable people are not supposed to be mentioned at all. I need not give up anything so no loss made.

~peace

2009-03-01T14:06:00.005+08:00

Alright, first of all, for Brenda - you are a smart girl, a very smart one. Shall see how I fare for it. If it is blank, you know why.

Since you know how difficult it can be...I cheated all the way! Except for certain words (which are obvious to little kids)

Rules:
It’s harder than it looks! Copy to your own note, erase my answers, enter yours, and tag twenty people. Use the first letter of your name to answer each of the following questions. They have to be real; nothing made up! If the person before you had the same first initial, you must use different answers. You cannot use any word twice and you can’t use your name for the boy/girl name question.

1. What is your name : Xiaohua (hmmph, that Bbbbbreanda!)
2. A four Letter Word : X-ray
3. A boy’s Name : Xian Liang (see, he comes in useful here =P)
4. A girl’s Name : Xing
5. An occupation : X-ray technician
6. A color : Xanthic yellow
7. Something you’ll wear : X-tra small clothes (LOL! XS.)
9. A food : Xiang Chang ^^
10. Something found in the bathroom: Xylem (of my plant =P)
11. A place: Xinmin Primary School
12. A reason for being late : Xenophobia (haha, obviously being in Singapore, this should not be the case, but it fits!)
13. Something you’d shout : X'mas is coming! (Throughout the year, when I am bored.)
14. A movie title : X Imp (supposedly a horror movie, gee!)
15. Something you drink : Xplosive energy™ drink (cheated..obviously)
16. A musical group : X Japan
17. An animal : Xanthareel (an eel whose yellow flesh was an ingredient in medicinal foods for treating eye diseases, especially for aiding healing after cataract removal by 'couching')
18. A street name : Xilin Avenue
19. A type of car : X men's car! (Haha, I still have that poster. Come on, please tell me they have one car/ vehicle) ^^
20. The title of a song : Xiao Ren Wu De Xin Sheng

Ooh! Yay! I am done.
First of all, dear Brenda..Internet is the perfect solution for all these answers. Especially my Street Directory, which I placed at the table to check where my interview places are. Gosh, I did not know that Genting Lane was in Singapore. LOL.

Next, I wanna tag:
- Bing Xiang (who promised me to get his done by next week, preferably by Fri morning. Because he will suffer when I see him in school.) =P

..take it as a pressie to spice up your blog.

- The rest can do, if they please. ^^

2009-02-27T18:28:00.003+08:00

GRASPED TIMING skills, thanks to Kristine and my other unnies, who were so patient with all the amateurs to timing. I, obviously, was not supposed to attend the meeting but I felt that waiting for episodes to appear as the final product is definitely not a nice way/ behaviour to have. So, I thought that I should learn something so that I can contribute as much as I can before uni starts/ if uni ever starts. =))

The first meeting for the staff members. Finally I have some new contacts and I created another hotmail account, specially for them. Sadly, Gmail does not work so well with messenger and the extremely important chats were not logged. So, I decided to create a hotmail one. Obviously, no one will be interested in having ALL MY EMAIL accounts so that is really fine. Interested? Just ask me.. Muahaha.

Spent days in front of the computer meddling with the video and I am rather amazed at how the program actually worked such that it can insert subtitles - either audio form (in the form of sound waves) or by slow play (whereby you click on arrows and the video moves from one frame to the next).

Also, I really look up to the anime expert...haha, Jie will kill me if she knows I forgot his name for a split moment. Hayao Miyazaki. Is that it? Yup. He drew every frame for all his anime productions, example, Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, Totoro, Howl's Moving Castle, PONYO! ^^

Although, Jie and I did not really get the storyline of his latest movie but we totally love the cute characters plus the music. Haha, I (or we) sing it to irritate my mum whenever she nags. Jie will just laugh it away. Guess she doesn't really know why...but the above just answers it.

Went to BB and walked past the swimming complex. Aww! How I had to resist not entering the pool? No one goes with me! Everyone is so busy! It's terrible!

With just a couple more days to the release of the results, I am totally not anticipating for that day. On that fateful day of the announcement, I would probably be stuck somewhere..contemplating whether to take on that challenge to go ahead. Err, best to keep it quiet when mummy is around because if it fails, she will continue to nag again. Yah! She and her improved nagging skills. Even I can't beat her!

Anyway, I faked through some expectated A level result but they never got back to me. Haha, guess their standards are a bit too high or it is because they are the govt companies and results must be known. Gee..

Gee gee gee gee...SNSD. Gosh, their song made me obtain high scores for this particular FB game that I am addicted to. So, I have decided to become one of those fans because of it. ^^ Kill me. I promised myself not to keep it but it's mean feat has made me conclude that this song is here to stay - on compy.

What do you think? Went for this interview with them promising to get back to me the next day but nope, it never happened. Bah! But it is alright, given that it is more tempting to jump into the pool than to walk past it everyday. Swimming! I want to swim so badly. Why is everyone so busy? Maybe they are not that interested in swimming than me. But it's okay...shan't trouble them as much as I can. ^^

Oh yeah, the plus thing about that place is that everyone there seemed friendly. Seemed......but looks can lie. The place, if I imagined it was dark, it could spell trouble for me if I accepted it. So, there you go, I think I more or less rejected it.

Shall wait for Tuesday then. Ahhh!

Last of all...Kristine, what's with the encoding! I just don't get it at all. She said it was super simple. Save, abort, check video quality. But the more I look, the more I am not satisfied. Aim for a 30 min video is for it to be of a maximum of 200 mb. None meet that criteria. Some went overboard, but the quality is promised. Shall ask her another time when I meet her online again..some time tomorrow. Maybe I should ask another fellow encoder instead.

Alright, given that the release of the results are nearing, I shall commit myself to the computer until then. Haha. Right, the days are getting shorter.

Good news is that the release of newer episodes is imminent. And we take pride in them so I guess, please do expect good high quality products. Till then...

Hey everyone! Haha! No drive=no update!
Because...me lazing at home has nothing interesting to blog about, except for seeing this huge gigantic Crane, which is used to lift up the steel containers of the lifts. I could have taken a picture of it doing its amazing job but I prefer watching it from afar. It's name given? Mr. Crane. ^^

Almost got a job but decided that telling lies (about me being able to continue a full-time sales assistant job) is against my moral values, so I requested for the lady to help me ask the HR if they can offer me a temporary admin job - and that location is not the matter. Somehow, I knew my mum will not be happy..but it is alright. First interview? I did not think I did badly. Muahahaha! =)

Next up, I will just call up the offices for possible job positions. Now, tell me, why am I taking so long to find one job? Partly because sending resumes for first-timers are not welcomed in inboxes. That is for me..that is for my mum.. That is not for me. > . <

Brenda asked me if I wanted to go for the NTU talk tomorrow...and I took a glance at their website. Besides the B.Sc for Biological Science offered, I was not interested in the rest. Even then, I prefer the Life Sci course in NUS because I felt that they covered the areas that I am interested in and also because of the professors there. Accountancy? I prefer pursuing it in SMU and perhaps it is me being picky..

Went for a swim with Jie and I really missed the feel of being in the swimming pool again. Not just any pool but the one that I genuinely missed for the past 6 months or more. And although my hair will go haywire for two to three days, it is thanks to the chlorine that I get my hair colour for the past years. I am totally in for swimming any time. ^^

13th Feb:
I will be going to see Mr. Crane tomorrow but I do not anticipate the fact that I am not able to have the full-view of the garden anymore. So, I hope they take a longer time doing the lift. (Dream on!) I hope that building the lift will not change the wind direction.

She does not respect it at all and I detest 'that'. For years, for years...
If it continues, I guess I will start inviting ppl to the blog instead. To protect it...

Do you really think that I need you to search? What is your real motive?

2009-02-02T16:51:00.003+08:00

Chinese New Year for me is almost done for this year, with Sunday as the last official visit to my home. Afterwhich, everything will come to a slow crawl..

See how my MSN nick goes for me? I am free almost everyday. Boring.. Not that I am finding anything to spice up my life so Internet is how I kill it. Indefinitely.
I am bored and the only way to kill time is now...should really get things moving or I will just waste it away. Yawns. I hate myself for being this lazy but I find it too irresistable.

Peace.

2009-01-24T16:43:00.003+08:00

I have not really updated because I succumbed to the flu virus, despite staying cooped at home all day and I took my own sweet time to recover - with the help of my perseverence to have a peaceful evening and night, it took longer than it should.

Celebrated my birthday, with a short but sweet celebration with my family. Thanks to all my friends for their birthday wishes. ((: Too bad that I had to stay at home because of the nearing CNY celebrations..to prevent anyone from falling sick after being exposed to the infected me. Yup..sorry, Chang Yee. Same goes for Hui wen as well. hahaz..Just when I felt like going for a short shopping spree to complete my outfits. Now, I will just have to make do with old clothes for the bottoms. Shhhh...~~

Hmmz...I know it is not easy to settle back down to a family in which you have been separated for the past four years. Having to settle back down is like understanding everyone all over again and that task is never simple. For sure, there would be some misunderstandings but those misunderstandings were implanted long long time ago. For me, I find myself sharing information about school days to my maids, who were the best companions to me after-school. Meaning of best companions? They were with me everywhere I went, typical of the youngest kid of the house. Made best friends out of them and I really appreciate how they looked after me. They taught me how to speak some simple Malay and Tagalog. ((:

My parents? I lost touch of them. Because there would just be dis-satisfaction when it comes to discipline. If we hide, the maid knows about it, they don't. Simple. Everything just had to go along that way and everything will be fine. There was no need to discuss anything else.

Sec 2? They took over. My best companion left? My sister left? Hard to adjust. Life goes on.

Just that my sister never had the quality time to communicate with them as long as I had with my parents..that is where the loophole was & I can understand that. There was this huge gap that was created without them realising it. For me, it is really hard to adjust and try to bridge that gap. So, throughout the holiday in Australia..it was this gap that I try to squeeze into - to act as that bridge.

But it is indeed hard at times...

I, myself, have to adjust to accomodating her in the house once again. It is not a one-time holiday stayover and she will be returning back to Melb. Of course, to lose touch with a child will take several long years to fully know that she will never be the same where you sent her off for her studies. That will take time and losing patience will simply push her away. Her character..you have got try harder to understand because she is entirely different from me.

Not as simple, not the same.

Spring cleaning for CNY was hard and I broke down a couple of times one day. It is not a simple one-man job and I felt the burden. Acting a middleman of a relationship is difficult because you have to be adept in pleasing both sides or drown from taking favouritism over another. With no other support, it just seems so useless with whatever I had tried to accomplish.

I know it is not a one-night stay but Jie, is here to stay.
To continue this way, I will eventually have no idea where to head off.
Leaving the family for a day has crossed my mind. Just to take a break but that is just a temporary relief.

I, too, am trying hard to adapt. With her around, there is more energy in the house for housework and clearance of my stuff. It changes my way around the room. But in the long run, if I continue to give way to her, I will lose my sleep and my eyesight will just turn for the worse. Is this what I want for myself? My body...the best person to understand it..would be me. For that, I have got to remind myself from time to time. This CNY prep, I will just leave it as an experience for me.

My temper is susceptible and it could just explode one day...& that will be the limit for me on that day. If I do happen to do just that, I really wanted to prevent it.

For now, I will just update here for awhile.

2009-01-13T10:12:00.002+08:00

Give me a while..will post back to the other blog soon. I just haven't found the time to post up the pictures. Please forgive me. ((:

If you want, you can just look at the photos in my facebook account. The pictures have been uploaded there for more than 1 week.

Really busy with the spring cleaning of the house...for the chinese new year preps. With the mess generated from several years of neglect, it contributes to the overall time needed to clear it.

2008-11-20T10:00:00.000+08:00

This blog is being REVIVED! Yay! Wahaha..

Am I crazy? Managing two different blogs and confusing everyone? They must be thinking, ''What is Xhua thinking..having two blogs at one go''. Too bad..one is the fun blog (with all the crap) and the other one just never seems fun at all. Decide yourself. I will stupidly update both blogs. Just choose which you one to link to. ^^

Yeah..another one of my pre-scheduled post right after my biology MCQ - prepared on the 11th Nov. Mad?

Right now, I am just thinking of relaxing before I kickstart on the major preps for Chem MCQ and Biology Paper 3. Supposedly hyped about the trip to Australia because my sister just handed in her essay today! Cool yeah? Honours leh! She has like completed her studying career for now and I am still suffering right here, right now. Sigh..at least she gets to officially start work upon her arrival in Singapore.

I wanna go to fishing! I wanna try fishing. Oh..and Brenda, I wanna go to the farms in Singapore. I even read that you can even have farm stays!! Wahhhh! Loves! ^^

Kk..will update this when I return. For now...I am immersing in the celebratory mood with my classmates! See ya around!

Wanna meet up with me? The best time to do so. Before I disappear!! Wahaha! Or before I get stressed and refuse to leave the comfort of my house.

Right..smilez. ~Tata~

2008-06-01T12:00:00.001+08:00

THIS BLOG IS GOING ON HIATUS

TILL THEN..ALL THE BEST!

CHEERS (:

2008-06-01T10:43:00.000+08:00

Yeah..so before I entire leave this blog to become stagnant for a few months, here are the pictures of transformed Mao Mao. (:

Picture-heavy..shan't elaborate - shall let the pictures do the job.

Lazy me..I shall upload the videos next time. The files are rather big and the conversation behind is very distracting and hilarious.

Very clear though..if you happen to drop by my house, remind me to show ya the videos instead. Otherwise, if I happen to remember, I will upload them...in the future.

Lolz..

Signifying the last post for for this current blog..for now. ^^

~Tata~

2008-05-30T14:12:00.004+08:00

FAILED! Boohoohoo!

Sigh..so disappointed.

Came back online last night because my mum wanted me to check for her two library accounts. She insisted strongly that I had to switch on for her as well - much to my refusal. - . -

She was so scared that she missed the due date for all her borrowed items. Yeah. I had to wait until she cleared all her worries. My father seized the opportunity to bathe first as well. Haha.

Yeah..then I came back to check on the chalet details today. lol..I was extremely curious! ^^

So I am back with my failed attempt. Especially since today is FRIDAY! Okay..it's just another excuse.

Yup..but I am using less and less of 'Com-mpy' this past week (:

The last I checked on Litespeed..I did not receive the file that contains the missing diagram. Hmm..or is just my account only? Help?

Tracking:
Geography - Plate Tectonics (memory is just as bad - as usual), mindmap; Biology - Proteins; Maths Vectors 19C

Finally cleared Vectors 19C (Yeah..absolutely horrid - shall make myself love this chapter by the end of 2nd week of hols); Recapping of Complex numbers - afternoon; Devote the night to Chemistry

Ahhhh...GP - 8 ARTICLES! It is still 8! 0.0

Love the holidays! Love the weather! Love the spare time to sleep! Love how still wake up before 9am
Hate the renovations that my neighbour chose to do during the hols!

Through and through, I still stay true..

2008-05-28T23:52:00.000+08:00

Let me try something REALLY NEW!

To see if I can survive with or without. (:

I might even like the latter more!

But with all the new songs, I think I would just take the former..

Shall resist until the end of the week. Yeah!

Tracking:
Chemistry revision - 5 1/2 pages done; Biology - Carbohydrates & Proteins (10 mins Summary tomorrow); Geography - later in the evening.

Maths tomorrow! ^^

My most loved distraction..is the reason why I am here. Blame on my incapability to resist. The temptation is just too sweet.

I really like to go back to how I used to treat technology way back..maybe then I would have plenty of rest as well. Loves <3>It was just a passing fad. It is losing significance and I am proud to know it. ^^

~Edit~
I am extremely PROUD to announce that I have DELETED 500 Mb of songs. Finally..!
Will try again later this week when I come back to the computer.

kk..nightz! Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

2008-05-27T12:31:00.002+08:00

Woke up earlier than yesterday..

Started at 9am and ended up feeling extremely tired after revising for biology. It is a start..
I think I would have to set off for school soon because it looks like it is going to rain again. Being the lazy me, I refuse to bring an extra thing - an umbrella.

Besides, there is construction work at my block and I can feel the ground shaking. It is going to be a long week for me. Hacking..

Ended up sleeping for 30 mins before I woke up to continue my notes. Sigh..should have known that sleeping later would never help me. Lost quite a few hours of sleep.

Tracking:
Chemistry - 4 1/2 pages (done); Biology - Carbohydrates (ongoing); Chemistry Rev. - tomorrow; Geography - later in the evening.

Sweet! =) If I get distracted, GP would most likely take over. Muahaha.

Alright..~tata~

Now, it is a numbed effect and I am finally satisfied. Satisfied that I have survived for so long. Gonna change target again. *Glee..~!!*

2008-05-26T21:10:00.002+08:00

..And so I have to account for the missing days that I have not covered - which I think I have forgot most of them.

On Friday - We completed our GP common test, which I think I have placed my best efforts in churning out a much more content-heavy essay with the expected number of paragraphs. However, the second paper was just a contrast. Not sure why but I have a bad feeling about the overall results. Shall make use of these holidays to collect more information. Summarise and collate!

Then, to my horror, I realised that I have totally forgotten to send the copy of my class contact list to Ms Wun. Joy..thank goodness I remembered or I would be doomed! Yeah..then, I panicked because I was not sure who has changed his/her contacts. No one except for one was online - Tatlin. Lol..yeah, the one who takes a super long time to reply back. - . -

Thank goodness there was one more reliable person to rely on (:

Then he commented on why TL was not replying..Haha, I shan't say. Trust him to give such comments. - . -

Yeah, so I successfully sent in the email by 8pm. Phew..

On Sunday, to my horror, I realised I never message Ms Wun that I have sent in the contact list. Oh no..! Haha..she checked in the end. Lucky..

On Saturday - Huiwen messaged me to ask if I was going to NUS to check out the exhibition booths which they have set up for Open House. Yeah, it they were meant for the students who were accepted into NUS and the talks in the LTs were also meant for them. Sigh..as usual, they said that they would not reveal the cut-off points for last year's batch of students. Although it was quite clear that it would be as tough to go in - for my current position/ grade. Sad...

Yup! Went there to attend the talk and my parents came along with me as well. ^^

Learnt to my horror that eventually, Huiwen did not attend the Open House. Gee..she was the most enthusiastic..along with Zhinian of course.

Yeah..knew more of the course that they offered and laughed at the jokes that the lecturer made. The best thing was that it was all relevant to the small 'lecture' he gave us. Impromptu. I really admire them..it is definitely not an intellectual ability that I have acquired.

In the end, I attended it to get inspired..
came back and continued with the drama that I was watching - as a treat to the start of the holidays. ^^

On Sunday - My most loved day because I get to return back to swimming. BUT..I could not swim yesterday. I was super sad! The good thing was that I had a bird's eye view and could observe the mistakes that my friends made. Scissor-kick and (forgot what the method is called) - I have learnt alot from just observing. However, putting them into practice would prove another challenging feat.

Ys came today, along with his brother and 2 cousins. Lolz..the whole family. (: Both had to relearn their basic foundations right from scratch. Even I have learnt alot from just listening to my instructor teach. The fundamentals are just so difficult to teach but it is the most crucial and the key to successfully teach the students.

yeah..then we shared on the university ranking points. Both of us did not do as well so we got to buck up during the holidays. Jia you! (:

Today,

I woke up half an hour later than my usual timing..lazed in bed for another half an hour. Quite worried about the cloudy sky and realised that it was going to rain before I reached school. When it started to rain, I rushed out of the house - taking note that I decided to leave my umbrella behind. (: To my dismay, I had to run across the road to shelter when the rain was at it's peak. I got drenched and my Chem TYS was dry. Shouldn't it be the other way round?

Yeah, met with Brenda who was WAY much drier than I was and walked to school. Do you know that the shelter towards the school canteen does not offer it's best? Lolz..if you are exceptionally dry before you enter school gate, you would have gotten wet on the way from the school gate to the canteen.

The rain lasted for just an hour.

Yup! Saw an earthworm later..super slimy! Then, Brenda suggested cutting the earthworm to determine if it was an earthworm or a millipede. Lol..while Karen watched us, we both got excited over it. Haha..shan't elaborate. Look at Brenda's post. (:

Just realised that our experiment would not have been successful anyway because it does take some time for regeneration to take place. In addition, if you cut at the wrong section, it can kill the earthworm as well. Sigh..

We left the earthworm at the path..does not seem to get anywhere back home. Sad..if only we were able to lift it back to the grass patch.

Also, the section of an almost reddish-pink is actually the part where eggs could have been stored! Lolz.. Wahaha..5 hearts!

Okay..quite gross.

Yeah, lugged back lots of goodies! Felt cheated because the OREO look-alike was a complete fake! It is so far from the standards of Oreo. Never mind, it was a good try..shall attempt another time.

Completed 4 and a half pages of Chemistry revision worksheet in 3 hours! Yeah..right on track. Shall continue tomorrow.

Lazy to type more. Will fill in any gaps if I have the time.

2008-05-18T20:28:00.000+08:00

Met his cheerful side once again and he never fails to make me smile. Innocence..

Just love my nephews loads..how I hope that my father had agreed to take them in for one day. Maybe I could teach the youngest how to walk or talk. (:

Came back from lessons today and there is FINALLY a GIRL! Woohoo! You know how heavy guys can get? It just reminds me of how I am the only girl in the class for almost one to two years. That was fine by me but now, I need a towing partner. =(

..so I am really glad that my arms are relieved by one week of this entire year.

Walked past the KFC while I was on my way to swimming and noticed that business was not so good. There were only two people inside..quite sad and very different from the usual buzz on any other Sundays. Probably because there was a Malay wedding or the fact that tomorrow is a public holiday. Hmm..I wonder. The market is less crowded today.

Right..so this was how I spent my entire Sunday - managed to finish my chemistry homework. Next up, maths!

Quite frustrated..there are no more individual links anymore. How how...

2008-05-17T23:27:00.000+08:00

My mum woke me up once again..unintentionally because she just made a lot of noise in my room. Know how senstitive I am to sounds when I am semi-conscious. I thought it was already 8 plus so I lazed around on my bed, with intentions to get more sleep. In the end, I woke up at 7 plus. Roar!! (:

My mum's off to Malaysia to attend a wedding of my aunt's, leaving me and my dad here. Wahaha..I did not mind. I was extremely happy that I need not attend the one in Malaysia. Moreover, traffic was not very good early this morning at 9 plus.

Lazed around today until I left to Takashimaya to celebrate my Grandma's birthday. All the dishes were super salty and my cousins were also full at the 8th or 9th dish. Our stomachs were almost exploding. The horror came when more dishes to come..noodles - . -

Well, I was lucky that my father ate my fill. Lolz.. Ser Yu decided to give hers to her brother, who loved those type of noodles. Yup..which he was rather glad. The horror came only when there was an extra bowl of noodles that was placed in the middle - for those who wanted to eat. Since it was the last dish, everyone, even our fathers were unable to stomach any more food. Ended up spinning that bowl to see where it landed in front of.

Lol..

So it turned pass me four or five times and slowed down at the opposite end of the table. Guess who was the lucky one?

Heheh..yup! It was my cousin - the one who loved the noodles. ^^

We all laughed..

Ended up, no one ate that bowl and he gave up on his sister's bowl half-way.

Karen should be there. (:

Moreover, the food there was extremely salty. Gosh..lots of work on my digestive system tonight.

I really want to swim..got to wait for just a couple of hours more - to hit the waters again.

2008-05-13T19:18:00.004+08:00

That was for what was accomplished..
That was for what was not accomplished..
Everything done just makes everything become progressively more confusing..
..it is getting more difficult to make out every action.
..I do not need answers and neither do I want a confirmation.
..probably just need a reassurance.

Came to school dreading this day and sy decided to visit the table today. Lol..when I was not in the mood to entertain. (: So off he went after commenting on someone in the canteen, giggling to his nonsensical statement and telling me that the H1 econs test was postponed. Then I saw Ms Wun talking to a student for like almost 10 minutes and I decided to observe her. What for? I was doing my biology tutorial. ^^

After 10 mins, she was still chatting and that was when Chang Yee decided to call my name very loudly. Woah..that was even more effective than Zhinian's 'Bam!'. I really thought that was Ms Wun and I jumped. Poor me..Lolz..

Tried to run away unsuccessfully from PC at our first attempt and got caught by the teacher. We landed up in the toilet while the teacher was still outside..wondering what we were doing. Thank goodness we took off our skirts in the toilet or she would be want to know why we went to the toilet for. She did exclaim in surprise that we went to the toilet just to take off our skirts. Lol..

That was an excuse she made up herself..so we just laughed. First attempt - failed.

Then, we went for our run - supposedly 2 rounds. After we ran past her, we tried again. This time round, it was a success. But..there was this PC teacher who was making his way towards the PE porch and we could not afford to be caught by the teacher. Surprisingly, he walked too slowly and he was not very observant - so we managed to escape despite me dropping all my geog notes. Wahaha..that was really scaryyy...

The rest of the time was for studying Geog..

After Biology tutorial, after almost 20 to 30 mins past - I felt myself drooping off to sleep. Zzzzzzz......wonder how Brenda and Karen were able to concentrate so hard. I ended up sleeping for almost 10 minutes and woke up seemingly quite refreshed. Sobs..that was where my revision time went to.. Muahaha..rude awakening.

A lighter burden since I left the house this morning. Geog essay for the CT was not sufficiently substantiated and it was quite a challenging question as well. Overall, the test was average - with the first section being easily dealt with and the last section being just the opposite. (:

Lazy to elaborate..next up - Maths!

Breathtaking and shockingly vivid..love it! (:

2008-05-12T23:18:00.001+08:00

Talk about not remembering what my physics teacher told me two years back..
..that circuit breakers in HDB flats now are not located outside the unit itself, instead of the inside. Well, for the older units, they have both the inside and outside.

Then, it was further supplemented by my mother that it was for safety purposes. For eg. You left the country/house and there was a fire in your unit, etc. The list goes on..

Why?
Because when it was the most crucial period that I need light to study, my mum, who attempted to start the fire suddenly screamed after hearing a boom sound in the kitchen.

Short circuit..sianz..

She was so afraid that she would get electrocuted. I, being the only brave soul, decided to carry the ladder to the circuit breaker (inside the house) and switch them back up. Weird..they look okay but no electricity seemed to flow.

Then, I called up my neighbour. The brother answered and I forgot..so I asked for his sister instead. Lol. When I heard that she was at home, I just merely said okay and put down the phone. Realised to my horror that I should have asked her brother instead. - . - ''

..So I called back. Nope, it was not one of the major blackout incidents. The problem lies with my home.

Next one was Chen Yuan - big help she was. Lolz..remembered that she took physics and that somehow she would have better knowledge on circuit breakers than the guys I know. Lolz..

..but the information she gave was all that I had known before.

Skipping everything..
..while my mum cooks with this candle that she managed to dig out from the cupboard.
..while I utilise the extremely bright lighting outside.
..while my father came back and attempted twice (inside the house)
it turned out that the circuit breaker outside the house was the main culprit (in other words, whatever my mum did, she tripped the outside circuit breaker)

Long story..but this lasted for almost an hour. Wasted my precious studying time.

Well..switched Mao Mao to it's new home today and placed it on top of my aquarium. Joy..
soon..it will become a butterfly. Probably tomorrow or the day after or the day after the day of tomorrow. Muahaha..

Grammatically wrong..oh well..

All the best for Geography CT tomorrow! ^^

2008-05-10T00:22:00.000+08:00

Came back to school after going to Jurong Point to accompany Huiwen to buy Mother's Day present. Haha..and as usual, I came back empty-handed. Simply put - I just did not like shopping at all - for myself especially. I, with a simple mind of doing everything DIY. Haha..so it was another frustrating shopping trip with me. Whoops! (:

Anyway, I came back to school because I could finally go to Talentime tomorrow.

BUT..!

..nope, the teacher who was passed the tickets had already left school or I could not find her at all. Oh well, sad sad..

I ended up in school: To chat with my CDC mates, do MI with them (although I was of little help to them - not in the mood to think) and to pester dear Jean so that I could take over the typing of the document.

At first, she refused to let me but since she was needed elsewhere and the nominal roll had to be churned out by today, I did it for her. Yay! (:

..and neither was she scolded by that noob. Or I would never allow that to happen anyway. Lolz..
Stayed till 9 plus.

Mr Lee dropped by too - to check on CDC as well as to give his maths lesson on MI to the J1s. Super funny..

Letting me announce that MAO MAO has spun its cacoon and would be there for another 5 more days. Rather cute..My mum and I would be transferring it out from it's current home to the new one so that the butterfly would be able to fly around tomorrow. Shall take the picture later tomorrow when I have the time.

Chemistry test was horror of horrors and I shall not elaborate. Never felt so unprepared for a test before. Dreads the results although I cannot possibly afford to. (:

Alright..lazy to type already

2008-05-07T16:10:00.002+08:00

The actions that could never be explained..
..though I would very much like to find out

Shall go pluck some leaves for mao mao later, she has already consumed almost all the leaves that was given by Bee Teng. Limes..here I come =)

Maybe..he could provide the answers we were all seeking for. An explanation is all I need.

No CCA today - because I am due for some appointment at 4 plus later. Sigh..intensive intensive. Pity I could not go down to HQ for the cheering session with Zhinian. I wonder if I still have the stamina to maintain the high enthusiasm for cheering. Hmm..

Swimming on Sunday was pretty fun. We had to swim 10 laps of fstyle and I almost did not make it and recorded 10:48 min for it. =)

..But there was someone who was better than me but I was too lazy to swim fast all the way. Therefore I came in second. Lol..but it's okay. If there is another time, I would be faster and maintaining of stamina would definitely improve.

Hate weights..and this was the advice my instructor gave. Sigh..

Failing theory that was supposingly simple when you are teaching it for several years but during lessons, everything is being delivered in a choppy style. Small chunks are thrown at you and no explanation provided.

I guess, this would be the perfect time for me to perfect my theory or suffer later - if I have any intention to pursue the career as a swimming instructor. It must be fun but the course could be an added burden.

Tuesday classes are switched to Sundays..FINALLY. ^^ All because only one (YS's brother) came down and the rest were unable to make it. Lol..imagine. The only student..quite sad don't you think? So he's here to join the class that I am attending. Tough tough..to beat.

Update when I am free..
..much later.

2008-05-02T22:36:00.001+08:00

I CAME TO ANNOUNCE THAT DEAR MAO MAO HAS ESCAPED AND DISAPPEARED!

Empty container, missing caterpillar! Told myself that maybe it was sandwiched between two leaves but I shook the container to shift the leaves. Still no Mao Mao. Ahh..sobs. Layed out the leaves and still no signs of movement. Then..mass informed Bee Teng and Brenda. (Not mass..but yeah, it is still counted.)

Guess what I got back from them?
- bee teng ~ find again
- brenda ~ informed that she was going to stay in school to have an emo session. - . -''

Yupz..so there goes Mao Mao.

Until... (continue later) ^^

Guiltily spent the whole entire afternoon of yesterday on Chemistry SPA. I was so afraid that I would mess up yet another report writing if I was not careful enough. Now, I can safely conclude the end of the Spa for JC. Woo hoo! Celebrate with joy!

However, it is not the time to throw (or burn) those papers away because they hold crucial information that could help us in the theory paper itself. Haha..so do not go throwing your papers in the dustbin. =)

By right, I should have been revising my chemistry spa this morning but I ended up zoning out. Nothing seemed to register into my brain. Pretty worried for my GP essay TCA - was placing my bets that I would be able to write well with sufficient evidence based on my own general knowledge. I saw no point in cramping my brain with statistics that I would eventually forget in a couple of days time. Hence, I will still still continue to collate my resources in the expense of the school's printer. Wahaha!

Alright..so all the girls except Brenda, Karen and I decided to 'gracefully' take their 'rightful' leave from PC. Lol. Spent my whole entire hour watching Brenda and Karen play badminton. Haha..did not want to interrupt their playtime - badminton ^^

So I sat there until Bee Teng saved me from the boredom and I escaped with her when the bell rang. She saved me! Otherwise, I would have sat there till 3-4 plus watching with a wasted racket in my hands. Lolz..

Immersed myself in a so-called well deserved drama series..before I regret starting to watch. Haha..

Continuation..

Yup!
Rummaged through my brushing stuff but did not come across anything green.

Gone..! It's gone forever! Should have went approved of the lizard being killed. =(

...my mum came back from work earlier today and thank goodness for that.
..reported to her that Mao mao had went missing and that it was not around anymore. She picked up the contained and looked hard. Nope, nothing.
..concluded that Mao mao has definitely gone
..should have closed the container with paper after moving her out of her original container.

So these are the pictures when Mao Mao was 'still' around, they are a bit blur because I doubt my father would allow me to take with professional camera.

Oh oh! Ignore the surrounding black specks. They are called Mao mao's poo! ^^
Took these right after she changed green just yesterday.
I had intended to take her cuter form - black with white stripes but it changed before I could take a picture.
T'was very upset and I was studying spa during that time.

Yeah, so my mum decided to clear up the area around my washup because she was super early today.

Then, she called for me from the kitchen and told me to be quick.

Guess what she saw in the kitchen?
Lolz..

Something unexpected came crawling around on the floor!
A GREEN Caterpillar! ^^

Utter cute Mao Mao crawling on the floor!

Day adventure for Mao Mao..
Across the container, up the branch of leaves that my mum got, up the brim of the container, down the sides of the container, across my supposedly toothbrush (Eww!), up the broom which was leaning nearby, down the broom. Gosh!

My mum who thought that there were too many brooms around decided to put away one broom into the storeroom. When she came back, she saw something distinctly green on the floor.

Yup!

So, did I keep you all in suspense? Muahaha..! I had fun and so did Mao Mao. How about you? ^^

The last picture after it settled down in the larger container again.

It must have been a long day because after it returned, one entire small leaf from Bee Teng was half gone in 1 minute! Haha..

Rest well!

Alright! Have a good weekend ahead of you! ^^

~Tata!~

2008-04-30T21:11:00.003+08:00

Yeah..shall take a picture of Mao Mao tomorrow because my phone battery is running low and my father's professional camera is not at home. Haha..I get a feeling that he would not allow me to use it to take a picture of mao mao. Although he shows some disinterest in caterpillars but I know he is quite amused at how we named it. Luckily, I am still not scolded for keeping it. =)

Had a chat with Brenda and Sabina about all the pets we have reared..

Then, I realised that I had reared SEVERAL!!

Naming all that I could remember (according to my age and type ^^)

Goldfish
Tortoise
Tadpoles
Grasshopper
Praying mantis
Spiders
Silverfish --> the ones found between OLD papers. The extremely agile and quick one.

Neon tetra, snake fish, guppies, lamb-eye fish, cardinal tetra, black widow (gymnocorymbus ternetzi), suckerfish, black tetra, red phantom tetra and lots more!
Prawns

Snails
Earthworm
Mealworm and the beetles (brought all of them to school. Partly because my science teacher wanted to let the whole class see how they evolved to become beetles. Of course, they were under my care ^^)

Water snails (love how they lay their eggs and leave them in jelly-like sacs with the eggs embedded in them)
Hamsters
Mozzie (shhhhh..)

Attempted to bring back a stray cat below my block. Alliance with my experienced maid =)
We tried to kidnap the cat with two cardboard boxes. However, it escaped in the end. Sigh..failed attempt. We almost made it to the lift! Hahaha!

Brought back an injured mynah home before but it flew off in the end. Alliance with my maid as well.. Sobs..

...and the latest! Mao mao the caterpillar ^^

The list goes on..this is what I can remember so far. Heheh..

Slack slack!

2008-04-29T18:50:00.002+08:00

I rest my case..

Feeling extremely stressed and it is not a choice of whether I am supposed to be put through this or not. There could have been so many other ways that points, out. There are indeed several ways but they do not solve any problems at all. Once you are out, you are just not there to solve it.

Today would be one of the increasing number of days that I will be losing my bearings. First of all, it was the first time that I left so much undone homework and was still able to come to school. Second, they do not seem to have dwindled in numbers even after I have arrived home. Thirdly, I just could not concentrate. Yeah, apologies to everyone, esp. Brenda, who happened to be around doing her maths. Sigh..now I know why I just cannot study with anyone after school.

I rest my case..

All is 'not' lost.
It raises hope..
Then, it loses hope..

BAM!
.
.
.
.
.
.

My printer's working again. Woohoo! That was yesterday..not sure if it would work again.

Mao mao's growing =)

Tomorrow would probably the last time I will feel that motivated to go for CCA. Need to concentrate on my studies.

Blog revived. Lol Lol..

2008-04-28T20:45:00.003+08:00

All because I could not think up of anything to post the last few days..it remains stagnant. (:

Stress on Biology Spa is finally over and officially over! Same goes for the people took the Physics Spa today as well. Yay!

'Wasted' my time over in school after lessons were over because I ended up talking more than me doing my biology tutorial. To top it off, the heat was a bonus to the seemingly aimless goal. So everyone went back together - with all the physics people, although it was too late to avoid the crowd. Lolz..

We watched the movie 'Blood Diamond' today, in replace of our class essay test. Lucky..though the movie was cut at several scenes, with Ms Joy's illustrations, we were able to grasp most of what the movie intends to portray to us - that message behinds every history-based movie. Yup..but by watching the whole movie, we would be able to capture the crucial moments, as well as to allow it to play with our emotions. (Oh, you know what I mean) Lolz..

Alright..gonna rush all my homework now. They have been piled up since Friday, with no signs of them reducing in numbers. Tomorrow would be another stressful, restless day.

So..see ya!

Mass break..

PC..badminton! Haha..never thought that badminton would be so fun. Crescent's PE period that involves badminton is super stressful and they were never made fun at all. Appreciated sport..something without having to do with the round thing. (Yeah, the one with no sense of direction) ^^

2008-04-24T19:10:00.003+08:00

First of all,

BEE TENG gave me a CATERPILLAR! (:

Probably because I pestered her for one..haha. Thanks!

So, now I have a new pet and I am obsessed with it. Quite concerned because it has not eaten anything for the whole day. Shiling even plucked out a leaf from the tree at the third floor but it still has not eaten anything. Sobs..is it going on a diet? Hmm..

Second,
I stayed much longer than I wanted in school. No hidden motives but I did want to study my Bio SPA skill A. Succeeded memorising one paragraph after an hour. Strange..cannot really seem to concentrate.

Simply put..I cannot really concentrate in school (Full stop)..end of story. (:

Freezin' cold today..don't really like the fact that the aircon is always switched to 16 degree Celsius all the time. Kept yawning..all thanks to our dear classmateS - . -''

Kk..gone gone to stare at my MAO MAO - Brenda's attempt at giving a name for the caterpillar. Lolz..very 'original' indeed :P

2008-04-23T20:50:00.000+08:00

Oh great..why is my time table so much more packed than a 4 H2 class?

Starting from next week, the only days that my class ends early would be..Wednesday and Thursday, off goes Monday and Tuesday. Hmm..I think I have to reschedule my revision slots already. Great~ especially with the printer going on a hibernation on its own.

Hmm..I finally passed my bio test. Muahaha..although it was the just-pass grade, I am still glad I was able to at least pass it.

Nothing much for today..
Lol..

Decided to go for CDC today and it was generally fun. We got to decide what we intend to do for cca-bonding session with the J1s and J2s and Brenda and I became the movie IC/s. Haha..not sure if we would be doing much though.

Now, I am really PSYCHED on going for the chalet.

Hope, just hope that there will not be any lessons on that day and we would not have to report to school for extra holiday lessons. Yup! Can't wait! ^^

..in exchange,
we have decided to watch the finals over at NTU in May instead. Save the best for the last (:

Took really long to reach the NPC because we did intend to pon CDC to attend the semi-finals. Kept on dragging time..dropped by CO room, watched a punishment on the stage, sitting down to cool down in front of the fan, turned back to listen to the 'Apologize' song and almost, almost stayed longer to hear the subsequent song. Took almost 15-long minutes to leave the school..over 2:30pm.

When we reached there, we were the first two to arrive. - . - ''

We should have took a longer time :P

Although, I still feel that it is too rush a time in order to reach such a high expectation, especially for the groups. In fact, it sure does take lots of time to perfect a choreograph for a dance, perfect the tune for a song and yet be expected to give the best of your performance.

Oh well..it's all part of the parcel of signing up for Talentime. (:

Anyway, I found out that there is a female security guard, whom I have not seen before. I was really going to say 'Bye, Uncle~!' but stopped short when I saw the person sitting there was a female. Stunned!

What to say? Lolz.. So I did not greet her when we went off to KFC. When we reached back to school, I almost wanted to say 'Good afternoon, auntie!'; decided against it. Come on, it really takes time to adjust and who would call a young female, Auntie?

Ever remembered Brenda asking me how I would react when the security guard turned out to be a female one day. I dismissed it and said that it would never happen.

..but, it happened!

Gosh..stunned! (:

2008-04-22T19:08:00.002+08:00

Thought it was the call for me to switch back to my old blog but..it just so happened that my happy-looking pills are here to stay for now. Lol..love them (:

I woke up this morning and was feeling extremely tired. Why?

There was this rather irritating mozzie..Okay, all mozzies are irritating but this one did not like coming out. When it came out, it was like so sudden and so frightened of any movements. This explained the itchiness of my feet. My feet..thank goodness it was not the most sensitive part of the foot or I would suffer.

Switched to my original bed at 1:30..dragged my 3 pillows, one to protect my feet from further bites, one to rest my head and another for hugging. (:

I was so afraid that I would get bitten by the mozzie and even knew when my mum woke up to brush her teeth. Thank goodness I was awake then..or the mozzie would have found it's way to it's grand feast - me.

Joy joy..yup, woke up to my horror that I had signed up for the US programme. Regretted instantly but I turned to really like it loads. Learnt so much today. =)

Met that funny fellow today, with expressions of surprise and questioning look..I finally got his view. Lol..but I am sure he can do it. (:

Hmm..saw my Crez senior today and I thought I saw someone who looked similar to her. Looked a little harder and realised that she was who I thought she was..my choir senior! ^^

Funny expression she gave me..the class she is in? 07S16. Doesn't that sound WAY too familiar. Oh well..

To you..rest early because tomorrow,
Ms Wun will have a WONDERFUL time with our class..
..nope, I am not complaining.
I am always impressed that she could maintain her energy levels and manage to keep me awake for almost all of her lessons (except for the start of the year).

Yup..so rest early. See all of you tomorrow. ~muahaha~

2008-04-21T18:17:00.000+08:00

I am early today. Grins..

My mum is currently 'jobless' and is taking a week-long break from work. She is planning to go on a big shopping spree and I am left out of it..thankfully. Don't think I will want to be part of the 'fun'.

My house phone is having tantrums and we cannot seem to call out to people. There was once when my mum was talking on the phone when it just cut her off the line and a still silence took over. Frustration..but it is good for me since there would at least be a period of silence.

No GP lessons today because my tutor reported on MC today. Brenda, Chen Yuan and I ended up with a session of Biology tutorial on divesity and evolution, while the rest of the girls either left the classroom or were outside the class emo-ing. Initially started with 3, then Bee Teng joined in and it became 4! The guys? Stayed in the class as well..amazingly. (:

Well..biology as a topic of discussion was plain boring so we three ended up talking nonsense and creating a racket. lolz..broke down into fits of laughter but..we finished =)

..to be continued tomorrow. Muahaha..transparency that is. For our dear bio rep did not bring extra trasparencies.

Yesterday's lesson was quite boring and I learnt that our dear soon-to-be-instructor has postponed his exam once again. Lol..lol..much to the dismay of my swimming instructor. I mean..who would have thought that lessons would drag all the way till a point in time when the swimming complex is almost closed to it's closing down time. Gee..all I could do was nod my head. Did not swim yesterday and number of students reported in was 5. Number of standby (me) was me and only me. Haha! ^^

Alright..! I am in US programme finally! But I have not completed my worksheet yet. Gosh..long long way to go. Deal with biology first. Who would volunteer to join in this programme? (: Loves..MATHS! Or try to..

Grins..
Smiles..
Laughs..
Bids farewell..bye!!

2008-04-20T00:20:00.002+08:00

Help??

Vectors is not only content-heavy, it is also an extremely important chapter. Fail..and fail the whole paper. Wahaha.. - . -

Me, coming online to blog before sleeping equals to me surrendering to vectors with no idea how time flew extremely fast. Reading the examples seem to make the tutorial questions that were going to come up easy but that tutorial just proved the opposite. Sigh..read, re-read, re-read and drew a blank look at the paper. Foolscap empty. No point scribbling. Put down my pen. Whipped out my mechanical pencil and started doing rough working. (:

Still, I managed to pull through and complete that tutorial. Horrendous..

Going to complete all homework tomorrow morning..
Saturday is an absolute slack day..all because com'p'y was on. ^^

There's this article on people, who have became more aware of their addiction to the computer and have decided to set aside a period of time to stay away from it and engage in other activities. Such that it became a concern, not only for an individual but to the society as well - perspectives as such on those interviewed.

2008-04-18T22:49:00.000+08:00

Muahaha..
..the days passed super fast this week
..and I felt that I have accomplished so much by not coming online before 7 pm and not going beyond 9 plus.

I could really feel that I have managed to suffice the hours that I could spent on the computer. Feels like another burden being lifted off my shoulders.

So, I successfully suppressed the need to switch on the computer. ^^
Feeling extremely happy with myself. Haha

..but today,
I came back and immediately switch on the computer. I totally miss all my songs! (:

For PC today, I tried my standing broadjump and could not manage to complete it..guess I would have to redo it on Tuesday instead. However, it was close real close with just 3cm more. Gave up because my leg muscles were felt strained and I was not improving at all.

The song playing is a new addition and it was just released officially 2 days ago.

Right..
next time, look back before trying to stretch and see if the person behind is trustworthy. ^^
Now, my back hurts so much..*groans*

2008-04-17T19:35:00.003+08:00

Point form today..rushing to get myself far far away from the computer. lolz..

Maths lecture test today..
Found it relatively easy except for the last part on mathematical induction. Oh well..that's all because I forgot the importance of the chapter of sum and sequences to the chapter. Never mind..

We got a new vocabulary book..
And that will be my curent new addition to my almost 100-word filled vocab notebook. Haha..contains sentence structure, synonyms, etc. Both are blue too (:

..consolidating a new file of latest updates. Anyone interested in exchanging them? Then we can all benefit. (:

Blood donations today at LN..
Karen and Brenda went to donate blood. Super funny. The few girls beside us who were not donating came supporting their friends. They kept on banging on the glass panes in order to attract their attention. Then, they whipped out their phones and took several pictures.

Those actions reminded me of the zoo animals behind the barriers, with their zoo keepers. ^^

Kk..Hui Wen even came up with this 'brilliant' idea of making a drama in front of the health examiner. It is only applicable to:
1) people who can really act
2) people who are under 45kg

..but we did not do it in the end. It was clearly a waste of precious time just waiting to clear the registration and health screening area.

Oh well..

Not a bad day after all..tomorrow
..got to clear my standing broadjump
..and cheer my classmates on for their 2.4km run - to those who have not completed
..chem spa trial (I think)

2008-04-15T19:22:00.000+08:00

I am still laughing..still laughing..
..when I left early from Msn, my friend still replied. Okay..never mind. Just being lame there.

Anyway, today's civics lesson was real fun with all the performances put up by the DJs..wonder who they are. Wahaha..oh well. Not a big fan of the radio since they always spin repetitive hot songs that become 'cold' after a week. Got tired of that and switched to the updated Internet. Yeah! ^^

My dear friend forgot a little promise and I have given up hope on that person. Empty words just remain insignificant but always leave an impact on me. Great, oh great.

Biology tutorial almost done =)
Maths revision reaching...

Came to school and to my utmost surprise, a J2 left the physics notes on the canteen table. Must either be too stressed over the block test or have been too estactic/relieve from it. Either way, I took a glance of what they covered on the topic - Superposition of Waves. Quite interesting with a couple of concepts which were not covered in my secondary school days. Yup..benefit of mine - literally but I just ended up really confused.

That just ate up 5 minutes of my morning free time (:

The rest of the morning was rather distracting with Kevin stealing glances at my biology notes - as usual - so I decided to flip the pages really fast before he could read finish. Lolz..and he asked why I was laughing so badly. Oh well..

Milk..chocolate mile. It can never beat Milo ^^

So far, I feel that Milo is the best chocolate formula energy drink - not too sweet and not too bland. Just right. Yupz..my favourite!

Heheh..it goes WHheeeeeeeeeeeeee..!

~Tata~

2008-04-14T20:52:00.000+08:00

Muahaha!

I did tell Karen that I will not come online today but I am here. - . -
But that would be because I will only be here for half an hour. ^^

..and there are more than the usual number of people online. Probably because the physics block test is over. Lol..

Studied in the kitchen today and was feeling terribly hungry. Had to control myself from opening the cup noodles to eat. I succeeded .. but that was after I had my fair share of chocolate-coated marshmallows and Nachos. lol..in a way, I still succeeded.

Felt terribly lucky when I decided against bringing my Vol. 2 Maths Guidebook because Brenda came to school with the Geog textbook that I requested for. How could I ever forget that?! Well..that's the level of my forgetfulness.

Saw my CA results and two of my results were highlighted dark blue - the only one with blue highlights..good in a way that it prevented the people who are can't really see that well and bad in another way that I am considered a borderline case. Lolz..the rest of my classmates were highlighted light green. Worried me so much..
Well..that's for Term 1 results.

The rest are still quite safe..but need more drive towards achieving better grades. Oh well..

2008-04-12T23:21:00.000+08:00

Nothing much today - quite an eventless Saturday.

If you thought that my other blog is down, you thought wrong because I have every intention to relive the blog soon. Haha..it is just not the right time. Go there and be demoralised. Muahaha. Kk..joking. That blog is just all super emo posts so I switched here. Prepared for a super long post there soon. Not even sure what I typed already.. :P

Currently feeling extremely contented with using my new msn account because it has fewer than 40 contacts who are not always popping up as frequently as my older account. In fact, the both accounts were made less than a year apart. All because I wanted to play a small joke with someone. Haha..shan't elaborate.

Yup..that's all.

Oohh..also be prepared to receive updates on Geog from me. As usual, I saved it into Drafts and forgot to send it out. Haha..still not too late. (:

2008-04-12T00:06:00.001+08:00

All the trees are chopped down at the carpark..poor birds. They are deprived of their rightful homes especially since they chopped down the trees to make way for construction. Just when the residents also are need of a cooler environment and a cleaner atmosphere to reside in, they took them away. Sigh..

Haha, this post was supposed to come out two hours ago but my father wanted to complete the efiling for my mum. I took that opportunity to lie down on my bed and fell asleep! Wah..felt like doing so for the rest of the night. Switched to my mum's bed =)

It is the only bed that I would be chased out of and yet still be able to wake up before midnight.

So here I am!! ^^

Today..
We watched the documentary on North Korea filmed by National Geographic - on the strict dictorial regime of North Korea.It revealed to us how North Korea was subjected to the dictorial rule and through successful years have caused its civilians to be extremely patriotic. It was really shocking that they were still able to survive through the disasters, hardships all on their own.

Just thinking about, self-provision is indeed hard, especially if it is to depend only on one's country's resources.

Still..I will love Korean songs (:
kk..random.

Talking about songs, Jean asked this amazingly shocking question. She asked me for a Super Junior song from the H.I.T 2007 popular drama series, Success. Or I thought it was the best song out of two. (:

I had it! She asked for it! Wahaha..lucky I never delete it away from my phone. Was extremely tempted to a week ago. New blog song to expose you all to it! ^^ Maybe I will change tomorrow.

If you still cannot get the shock part - It is like extremely rare to hear someone request for a korean song as most only know Maria (from 200 Pounds Of Beauty movie). Yup!

But today's session on North Korea was a reminder that not all countries are not democratic and that there is lots of information to all the different historical pasts of each country waiting tobe discoverd - leading to the reasons of their level of position in the world today.

PW results were satisfactory I suppose..have to make do with the grade and work as hard as last year. It was defnitely not an easy route to achieve even a C. I think the tutors and students have all put in their hard work. No one failed..which was extremely good. (:

Hope the J1s this year would do as well this year..and not be complacent with the results of our batch.

Unexpectedly..
We had to run our 2.4km for Napha during PC. Shock!!
..and I was wondering why other classes were stretching so early while the rest were still taking attendance.
..and I thought that the weather was unbelievably hot but the teacher thought otherwise. Lol..
..and the songs that was 'blast' from the so-called annual set-up during Qing Ming Jie were not an ideal piece that we would love to hear while running so hard.

But..
..our whole class passed and fared better than we had hoped; even Chen Yuan did extremely well.

I guess our class girls gave their very best and that they can to finish this final 2.4km in JC. Wonder when would another long distance running would be 'organised'.

Now..it is to see how our other quarter of our class girls fare in their 2.4km. ^^

Chem Spa trial today..
..was extremely distracted and nothing seemed to be processed during the revision period after Chemistry lecture.

..but I discovered a little something with all the people walking around.
..someone who probably just reached school. Lolz.

Anyway, we were just informed that our Spa skill A would have at least 5 compounds. Just looking at us trying to beat the timing with our usual 4 organic compounds would have been tedious.

Though it was manageable but I forgot some details again. :/

Oh well. Re-memorise again.

Gonna have to skip swimming lessons on Sunday just for this dinner with my relatives. Sigh. Hope I can negotiate my way out of this. Please..I do not feel like skipping one more. Especially since there is a high chance that I will not be able to attend the next week's lesson.

Hmm..that's all I suppose. Now, with all the week's load of tests over, it's time to return back to the normal schedule.

Jia you!

2008-04-10T21:06:00.002+08:00

Felt so much lighter now..and bio facts are slowly seeping out of my brain. Sigh..will revise again this weekend because I cannot afford to waste precious time understanding the notes over and over again. I see the point of revision now.

I love my shorter hair now..but everyone keeps flipping it whenever they walk pass. Oh no..that's not the only thing they do. After doing so, they just walk away like they did not do anything. Leaving me there as clueless as ever.. - . -

Nope..not complaining. (:

Yeeekkkkssss..Gina's having an extreme fun time poking me and of course, they were all ticklish. Kept squirming and sometimes, chills run down my body. She succeeded there. :/

I am hoping that I will get immune to them. Though I highly doubt so..

Yup..still chemistry practical to go. Shan't comment too much on today's test.

Come on..relieve me of a PC period tomorrow. ^^
haha..

Wai Fun showed me this disgusting FRESH squashed rat, which was almost like 15cm long and 8cm fat. It was still fresh so it did not stink. But the so-called intestines flew from the body to this structure - forgot what it was called - 1 metre away. Then, the blood splattered to almost 1 to 2 metre radius from the body. Eww..!!

To all who are interested in knowing where it happened or the leftover organ which I saw, ask me. Muahaha.. Too bad I did not take a picture. Wai Fun would have scolded me. (:

But it was definitely the most gross scene I have ever seen. Especially with the missing head from it's body.

I was thinking..'hmm, maybe it was with the driver' - on his vehicle! Haha..then we would know who caused the tragic accident of the rat. Lol..

Did not try..biology test at stake.

Brenda got a new nick for me - pumpkin. In what ways do I look like a pumpkin? Fat, round, weird taste and ORANGE. Just because I did not know that Singapore held an event at Suntec area..when it drop, everything drops. Or I just did not understand what she was saying at all.

Wahhhhh...so where did the pumpkin derive from?

Question marks....????

Will stop here for today. (:

2008-04-09T19:41:00.000+08:00

Slack, slack, slack..I just woke up from my half an hour nap. Lol..I woke up! ^^

..to worry that if everything was intact.
..to realise to my horror that I still have a SUPER long way to go for biology test

..and I still dared to fall asleep
..and that I got influenced by mum - who said she could not sleep but fell asleep anyway.

Quite fun I suppose..
..managed to counter my falling-asleep habit during lectures by guessing how many pages the lecturer would go through. The most effective of all..is to concentrate and memorise what he/she is saying. Wahaha..save time. (:

School..was okay.
PW exhibition was also average..I think I was just being wearied down by the extreme afternoon heat.

Stayed back to attend that exbition to support our classmates but we did not write our names to vote in the end. All because we were J2s and were afraid that they considered the class as well. In the end, we used Vanice's and Bee Teng's to vote. Haha..

Not a single one of the exbits were outstanding in any way..like they have not prepared much to show for the J1s. Part of the reason could also be that I was almost falling asleep.

Classroom style..tried that and I managed to absorb all my cancer notes. Haha..it always works. Big time..

Alright, cannot stay long in the study room. There is an irritating mozzie on a feeding frenzy or should I say rampage.

Oh well..
Will update more when I return on Friday - when all the tests are over! ^^

See ya and take care!

2008-04-08T16:53:00.000+08:00

Yeah yeah..I was feeling super stressed to blog anything.

Today, it was announced during Bio tutorial that we can bring in our materials to do our SPA time trial. Feeling extremely uncomfortable when she said that but I have got to accept that offer with open arms. Otherwise I could be left with another red mark on my Bio lecture test. Haha..that will be the history of my biology in year 2.

Okay..it is not funny.

Yesterday, we - Brenda, Karen and I finished our Malay lessons (:
We were like busy trying to cramp as many words as we could during Monday's lessons. So it was a good thing that it was just oral. (:
My mum is trying to learn from me..haha but I think she is much better than me in malay. She has bought two books on Conversational Malay - all because she worked as a nurse. As a nurse, you would definitely encounter people who speak malay and not any other language; so simple intructions as a nurse should be expected out of you. (:

Yup..
Raise eyebrows..first, it was Zhinian. haha..super funny la. Her expression..should not have told her too much. She came early to school today for CDC meeting - which has got nothing to do with me. Lolz..it only lasted for like less than 5 minutes and she was back! - . - '' The thing was that she took like almost a full one or two minutes saying goodbye to everyone. Haha..but me. ^^

Chen Yuan and I went to the staff room because Chen Yuan wanted to hand in the chem OR 6 and OR7.

We met Mr Lee!!
First thing he did was to ask Chen Yuan to tuck in her T-shirt. Lol..I escaped =)
Second thing he asked was are you going for the US programme. =)

Then, we said no because we were not in it but we wanted to join. He started to go through the paper load in his hand and wanted to give us the worksheet. See? Mr Lee is very efficient and cute too..when he smiles. (:

Yup..but both us will be joining in next week. Definitely.

Hmm..what else,
nope! Nothing..! :P

See ya!

2008-04-06T21:03:00.003+08:00

Haiz..

Thought I was behind with my homework because Karen messaged me about Chem practical. Would it be obvious what happened on Friday? Lolz..

..my eyes just felt like closing. So off it went..my studies. Uh oh..

Yeah..and so I felt extremely guilty and started on the tutorials on Sat. (: Happy..

..Until I started to write down all the upcoming tests next week and I panicked. - . -

Here goes:
Monday: malay
Tuesday: galvanic cell
Wednesday: Bio Spa Trial
Thursday: Bio lecture test
Friday: Chem Spa Trial

Wahhh...information overload!!

Okie..update's over. See all of ya in school tomorrow! ^^

Wait till my father sees my results this year.. ):
Help?

2008-04-04T23:30:00.004+08:00

Oh yeah..I tried out the video for the second part of the malay movie and to my horror, I found out that the link I posted up had subsequent parts without english subtitles. Muahaha..

So here's the new link =)
http://youtube.com/profile_videos?user=voltscommissar&p=r
Lol.. Just to watch the parts we missed - which is the 1st to 3rd video. Yup..

Today, we went to the Omnitheatre (not Imax) at the ScienceCentre today - to watch my all-time hate, dinosaurs! Roar..hated them since I was extremely young - had nightmares after watching the Jurassic Park for almost an entire week. Wonder how long it lasted though..slept with my parents then. Scary..

..and today is probably the day that I obtained the most nicknames. All thanks to Brenda, Gina and Chen Yuan. I, on the other hand, have also created several for Gina. ^^

..and it all started with the fated penguin. Yes, the innocent penguin that was on my file. - . -
..what's with that penguin that makes it so interesting?
Maybe I should change the picture already..hmm.

..still cannot make that contact.

The eyes tell on you more than you think they could..

2008-04-03T18:39:00.003+08:00

This would be the third time that Gina has asked for our blog webby. Lol..I was going to write it down for her but I forgot. All because everyone was in a frenzy to read up the biology spa. Well well..I kind of forgot what the whole entire experiment was about so my experiment procedures and introduction were all jumbled up. Gosh, I forgot all about the cell membrane chapter. Save me..

Happy happy..I left the school with Karen and Brenda but separated ways because I had to go to the doctor. Left Hui Wen at the table doing her Maths. Before that, I disturbed her by commenting that her writing pace was rather slow. Lol..whoops! :P

Sigh, I dragged my way across the winding long overhead bridge which took less than 5 minutes. When I reached there, it was only 1:35pm and my appoinment was scheduled at 2:45pm. Yeah..more than an hour away. Then I spent 15 minutes in the toilet because it guaranteed me a seat and I was super urgent. Lol..

My mum joined me about an hour later because the Circle Line at Bouna Vista caused the change in the pickup point of the shuttle bus service. Yup..mummy joined me (:

Took lunch at the Kopitiam there with my all-time favourite fishball noodles. At first, I was really tempted by the Lor Mee but I decided against it. The last time I ate that was when I was in Crescent. Haha..long long time ago. Waahhh..I miss it so much. The salty taste..

Actually there are lots of things to type down..
the whole joke was on my father. ^^
Lol..

Well, my father happened to make a trip down to the Estee Lauder shop at Orchard area to purchase some beauty products for my mum as a birthday gift. Nice yeah? At the same time, he also got an advanced birthday present for my mum - from the very same place.

Well, none for me. Thankfully.

So, my sister received a bottle of liquid, which was a balancing lotion. Oh yes, the balancing lotion.

My horror of all horrors.

A week or so back, my toner ran out and my mother decided to give that horrible liquid as a substitute..thinking that it was all the same. Then, my face started to get regularly itchy and I could not help but find my hands going back to my face to add pressure on the agitated areas all the time.

Gosh, after weeks of care, the inflammations just start appearing one after another. Scary.. Especially when I was going to see my dermatologist in a couple of days time - which was today. According to my knowledgeable doctor, I finally knew why..

That liquid was for older people :(
..and my condition was hormones. There..I am not that old after all. =)

So, me and my mum were saying that the lady who sold him the stuff must have seen him as old and hence, the products that were sold to him. Wahaha.. Laughed all the way home.

Actually, I am writing this on a Thurday afternoon..
Because I got all to excited when Brenda decided to reveal the April Fools article yesterday. So I clicked on the 'Open' to view the article. Haha..it opened using the window that I was blogging on so I never got to update in the end. Lolz..
I would not have been fooled..because I would given that article a miss.

Yeah, broke down yesterday. All because my friend asked how I was lately.
I just could not suppress it further. First, it was my biology tutor. Sigh.. But I am really thankful that you could chat with me just for a little while and offer your time as well =) Just did not know where to turn from here.. Adjusting back.

Brenda cut her hair yesterday. Unlike the rebonded - extremely straight hair, the cut gave her the natural look. Lolz.. Hmm, how do you explain? Just that it gives the impression that it is naturally straight. Haha..yup! Like it.. ^^
I really think that it is better than the just-rebonded look. The before-it-is-back-to-natural beauty of the hair.

And so..
To end the afternoon off, I received a call..stared at the name who called and was surprised. Come on..who would call me? Lol..since I never answer the phone all the time.

..find songs again. Haha, not a very surprising request. Guess who?
But it was extremely scary when the second call was reached to my home! Waah...almost did not want to pick up.

Asked for me..shocked! Male voice..super shocked! SY..not shocked! Lolz..
Desperate..wonder what event he has gotten himself down with. Hmm..

Alright..gotta go!

Good luck for Chemistry lecture test tomorrow!! See ya!

Now, I gotta wait for that SY to come online. Sigh..

2008-04-01T19:58:00.002+08:00

Came to school and got tricked by Brenda..that I have dropped something on the ground. Lame..but she succeeded. - . -
Haha, that was the expression on our faces..

Today's Biology lesson was super funny and totally irked Ms Wun out (but in a rather hilrious way). Thinking that she could end the lesson proper, she had it all wrong. lol..time really did fly. I guess that is how our class decide to spend our April Fools Day with. (:

PC period. Period. Got to have a silver for the napha test or retake it again. Maybe the school wants to promote sports and fitness of the students, hence, the high expectations from the girls as well. Lol. Sit-ups today was terrible - with an added pain in my tummy. I did go to the toilet, I did try to do something relieve the pain but it is just not DB. Haiz..so the best that I have to do for the sit-ups would be 21. Shock!! Haha..the teacher was really surprised. =)

Oh well..

Nothing much today..

But I really felt like I am gaining back my stamina for running. In due time.. ^^

Tomorrow is doctor time! Hope I do not run out of cash. Otherwise I will be stranded till help arrives. Lol..

Yup!

Happy APRIL FOOLS Day to ALL!

Cheers!

*From our biology tutor: Every year, the Straits Times will publish an article to fool us. It is just to fool us readers on this special day. So, as a challenge, why don't you join in the fun and spot it today? ^^

No fret! The answers will be published on tomorrow's paper.

~ Try! try! All the best! ~

2008-03-31T18:57:00.004+08:00

Hahaha..love the Meiji Choco Bits that Ms Joy gave us today - for being able to 'persuade' the other group members to come over to our group. Obviously, our group has every intention to stay put at our places so to put an end to the whole game - Eliz and Zhinian had to come over. Lol..so we 'won'.

Today, our dear econs students had their lecture test. Forgot what it was about - like inflation in Singapore context. Lol..great clue she had there.

For Malay, we watched finish the movie. Really touching (: Almost cried but I didn't. Wahaha..
The ending just lifted the sad atmosphere up. T'was really funny. I guess we paid to watch it as well - to pass time. Shhhh...

Hey hey, Karen, if you wanna watch the missing parts of the movie, there's still Youtube (:

Hope there is no CDC on Wednesday because I do not want to miss any CDC sessions. I highly doubt it though. Gonna see a doctor. Who wannna travel all the way to NUS? just reminds me of my secondary school days - most of my time was wasted on travelling. However it is good way to rejuvenate my energy..but I guess I just did it for the sake of staying on the computer for a longer time. muahaha..that was the 'good' old days. Now, it is so much different.

Gonna see my skin doctor, epidermologist(?). My fingers..are not healed yet!!!

Right..now Brenda showed me a finger with an almost similar state as my three fingers. Scary.. Offered her my cream and she rejected it. Lol..

Actually, I have not used the lotion for quite some time already. Personally, I feel that it made my situation worse. However, it started to itch during GP..probably from the pen ink that I accidentally drew on my finger ):

Finally got our SCDF certificate =)
But feeling quite guilty because two of our classmates did not get. Guilt-ridden.
Thank goodness I marked for us, CDC members, so Brenda and I got our cert. Phew! (Think ZN got hers already. Remember the time we skipped CDC session just to attend the Career Fair?) ^^

Tomorrow's April Fools day ~ And I have no plans to make it memorable. Lolz.. :P

2008-03-30T19:28:00.000+08:00

I am here to announce that my dear computer is at least 200 mb lighter (:
It's not much but it is a start to clearing up my folder...which is 4.80 Gb ~ o.o ~

There is no lesson today..
which is a little of a relief because my legs and arms are starting to ache from the excercise we did for PC on Friday.

Wai Fun did not ask me to go down for swimming either. So here I am...blogging.

Ongoing construction - spells trouble
- If you happen to drop any of your laundry, you have to ask them to pick it up for you. Otherwise, you will have to wait for the next working day to retrieve back.
- The poor birds have no place to stay for the night ): Now, they are fighting with one another. All because the construction took away two humongous trees and the government had replaced the big trees at the carpark with small tree saplings. Aww..
- Noise pollution, etc.

Lately, there is lightning and thunder - which means the period of the rain is much shorter. However, once it rains, it rains cats and dogs - the violent ones. Lol..

2008-03-29T10:08:00.003+08:00

Daddy's gonna buy CDs because my Mum is requesting for a backup access. I suggested the most favourable brand of mine. Hope he manages to purchase them because I want to backup my songs. If not, the computer's hard drive will be overwhelmed and slow down the computer. Nope, I am not complaining but I hope to relieve my folder. Nope, it does not slow down the computer because it is not due to be full. Well..not yet - for the next two years. (:

Yesterday was yet another slack day when I reached back home. Though I have finished my Chem Equi. readings, I still lack practice. Lack practice.. tsk tsk.. ^^

Bio..bio..I doubt my biology tutor will be able to come up with a good solution to solve my problem because for me, it is a personal problem. Personal but motivated by external factors. Ahh..it is so taxing!!

I guess that we all need a break from time to time..
He made his point (:

~~~ I am waiting, oh, waiting for my CDs!! ~~~ ^^

2008-03-28T23:23:00.010+08:00

Went to school bright (nope, the sky was still dark - . -) and early; was greeted by a whole big group of leaders who block my access to the lights of the canteen. In the end, I just took a rather short nap to pass my time. I had to be woken up by dear Wai Fun, who managed to come earlier than expected (: First time this year!

But..she wanted to run round the school track. Rejected her offer and quickly quipped that she could join the aunties to run. She countered it by saying that, ''As you said, they are Aunties.'' Gosh, stereotype!! So she resigned herself to doing her Revision Quiz for chemistry lecture. Yup! Couldn't do anything because it was dim at the table that we were sitting.

Next came Zhinian. Quite scary. She came to the table - her hair was quite dishevelled and her hand held a toothbrush. Oh yes, with a TOOTHBRUSH. She asked me if I had 40 cents to spare her. Lol.. Well, that was spent on her energy boost for the morning - her coffee.

After that, everyone came streaming in, the usual people - Shu Hui, Chang Yee, Bee Teng, Yan Ru and sometimes, Glennda, Darren and Kenny(?) --> forgot :P

Zoned out from all the ongoing conversations after that...

Anyway, maths lecture went back to the ultra slow speed but I finally understood most of the terms and important proving techniques. She is actually not a bad lecturer as she could bring across the concepts well. However, I just wish that she would go faster. ^^

GP lesson..just realised how much I have learnt for writing of thesis statement and how 'off' we went for our structured body paragraph. I think everyone was amazed by her beautifully crafted impromptu argument/stand. Wow!! Vocab was also a plus plus.. lolz..kk, shan't go on. She was just amazing and made things look so easy to write out.

One break, Hui Wen and I were engrossed about going overseas after our A levels - to Bangkok, Cambodia, Egypt, Europe, Japan. Lolz..extremely funny. All the way to Bangkok just to see one of the seven wonders of the world, Ang Kor Wat and SHOPPING! Woo HOOooooo? Lots of scams, thefts and crimes that worried us BUT Hui Wen came up with a perfect solution. Just invite one guy (shan't say who ^^ but feel free to guess) and all the girls would be safe. Muahaha.. Pao Qi our class guys..lol. Her idea. - . -

Then there was a guy whom Hui Wen knew personally who went into one of the Pyramids for two to three hours. Guess what?

When he arrived back in Singapore, he developed a skin problem, whereby there were itches and sensitive skin problems. When he went for a checkup in the hospital, he found out that he contracted an incurable skin disease/infection - apparently caused by a mutated form of bacteria in the Pyramid which found its way into his body system.

Wahhh....scary ain't it? Now, pyramids are just meant for looking from afar (:

Our first Chem Skill A lesson was pretty smooth-going. The consequence of staying up overnight was starting to impose a rather bad impact on ZN because she started blurting out reagents which are unrelated to the experiment being carried out. The most anticipated silver mirror, which I thought could be made easily in our labs turned out to be clumps of grey precipitate. I was so disappointed. On the other hand, there was this cheery bright orange precipitate upon the positive result of Brady's reagent. ^^

Overall, it is definitely much simpler than biology. In terms of memorising, both impose as much effort so the difficulty is the same for both.

Going home was a chore..

2008-03-26T19:03:00.003+08:00

Even if it is just once, it was all the reassurance I need.

BAM!

Tomorrow..
First-aid duty throughout the day till 12 noon. I am hoping that we could excuse ourselves a little earlier to catch the one and half hour of maths lecture tomorrow.

When time flies, it passes really fast but once you make use of every second & occupy yourself, it will be all as worthwhile as you make it be.

I really hope Brenda would arrive in school early tomorrow, especially since we have to take over the people from the night shift. Either way, one of us must reach there so that we can relieve the other members.

Yup, we have the whole BMS (Business Management Centre) all to ourselves for first aid (:

Just get a feeling that we will be fooling around - . -''
Please prove me otherwise.

For Biology today, we received back our test papers. Sigh..didn't do as well again, again. It just hit me when we did our reflections and I have no idea how to make it across on paper. Reflecting.. Chemistry and Maths just tripled the dosage :(

2008-03-25T18:56:00.006+08:00

Right..so I broke my promise, I did not come back after my nap. Muahaha!!

So, Gina is Brenda's new lucky charm.. lolz (:

Civics today,
TIME management..procrastination..always have the end in mind..excell over others..urgent..important..connection..value..significance..friends..studies..constant growth..personal development..love..timeline..past..gift=present..distractions..courage..relationships..definite success rate?..virtual vs. reality

..PRIORITISE!

..information overload. Pls sum it up yourself. Haha.

Sometimes, I feel that everything just comes flowing in big chunks but digestable once you concentrate. It just comes at the right time, even when you least expected them to happen.

2008-03-24T15:57:00.006+08:00

I so DO not regret not wearing my goggles yesterday. My eyes still hurt..

Before I forget..lol
We went for malay lessons today (: Our teacher remembered us..for not attending her lessons last week. Gosh! We didn't say anything and let her assume why we skipped class. ^^
Well, Ernest did take our place last week..So it's either you get us three or him. yup! The class response today was rather poor today and almost the whole class did not listen to her speak at the later part of the lesson. Felt really bad for her and I know that it definitely very difficult to teach, especially when the class is not paying attention.

Well well, we watched a movie today - Ada Apa Dengan Cinta? [I remembered! (: ] And I did a little homework and found that it is not in Crunchyroll.

Nope, do not be sad because I found it on another website =)

Here's the link to all the videos for the movie. Lol..at times, I really love YouTube.
http://youtube.com/profile_videos?user=boypret

So if you want to see clearer the most 'exciting' (or climax) of the scene we left off, then feel free to do so.

For me, I shall leave it to next week. >.<

Yeah..we have two new classmates =) We met one today, she caught us with surprise. Never expect any new additions to our already-small class size. Her name's Gina. The other girl did not come to school today. Yup! Both are girls. Heheh..girl power!

Alright..shall go take a nap. Might update this post a little more later.

2008-03-23T15:05:00.000+08:00

Shall make this a quick post..

Both my mum and I are terribly upset over the hairdresser who attended to me. She over the fact that her skills are not better than her elder sister's. Yup! Both sisters are working as hairdressers in their shop. Cool yeah? They almost look alike too ^^ And..me over the fact that my mum asked her snip off most of my hair. Ahhhh!!! It's too short! I am going to have a super hard time tying it up now. Sobs.. Especially when I am so used to my long hair. Of course it feels so much lighter now. =) That's the plus point. Overall, I hate cutting hair. It is scary..it has always been.

My homework is still piling up :/

There is no PC on Tuesday but I really want to train up my arm muscles..sigh.

2008-03-23T01:15:00.000+08:00

It is really late and my eyes are close to shutting..

Got to stay awake and wait with my father for the van to arrive and pick him up. Yup..strange though, since it's already an hour past midnight and he worked through the day as well. He is getting his rest now. Currently hope that both of us do not sleep through the call.

In the meantime, just to stay awake..
I really have to comment that the moon today is especially round but not as beautiful as the one I saw during the Chinese New Year period. The sky feels really empty, dark and gloomy without the moon.

Feel like lying down on a patch of grass, admire the night sky and chat. The perfect relaxation. Anyone up for it? Lol...

Oh yea..I felt really strange with my extremely long fringe and because my mum had to work today, I decided to take matters with my own hands. Took the scissors and snip a few strands of hair about 4-5 cm each. Horrified with my artwork! Ahhh...I really have to down tomorrow to get my well-deserved haircut. - . - ''

Just thinking about it, lots of us wanna go cut our hair this weekend. Brenda, Karen, Bee Teng (who got hers done already) and me. =)

Mine is still pending..if it rains tomorrow, then next week it is! ^^

I am ALMOST done with my Ionic Equilibrium notes. It is so difficult to understand but I finally grasped a couple of important concepts that will help me for the assignments I have for it. Yup! I still have the 3 sets of Ionic Equilibrium (cum Chemical Equilibrium) worksheets to complete. Imagine..I took 4 days!!

Alright, I can't stay up anymore! My eyes are hurting now..strenuous.

I think I really have to change my spectacles. It feels like my degree has gone up (and definitely has not stabilised yet) again. Brenda!!! When are we going to visit the optician?? ^^

2008-03-22T20:31:00.002+08:00

Yikes! I can't help it..

Korean fans of Big Bang, especially that of talented artiste T.O.P, who is featured in the latest MV of Gummy had a role to play. First, it was apparent that he was to promote the album for her. Haiz..especially with the fast shot to fame in a matter of months after the release of Big Bang's first single/album. Second, he had a kissing/almost-kissing scene with Sandara Park. Gosh! His fans, especially the girls, are making a huge fuss over it. - . - ''

Well, it was reported that it is a highly searched topic on Korean search engines. Lol..Can't help but become hysterical over it. My bad..

But the real issue is, is this part and parcel of using them to promote an album? They seem to have gotten the limelight instead..

Well, that's what I am here for.. ^^

2008-03-21T22:51:00.000+08:00

Well well..Wai Fun did ask me to go along with her for swimming but I declined the offer. Not that I have a choice either..I hate monthlies. Oh well, perhaps next week?

Thurday:

Just when I thought it was going along fine, it was all too much of a coincidence..and it just happened. Now, it is a feeling of uneasiness. Everything went into a downfall. All I can think of now is that I am exhausted from saving 'you' from every fall.

Friday:

At first, I could have tagged along with my parents to Johor today but as time drags, I became more and more lethargic. In the end, I remained at home with the company of my beloved computer. ^^

But I regretted..since the traffic at the Causeway was especially smooth today. The daily reports of the congestion and slow traffic must have successfully caused people to stay void of the Causeway.

I could have gone and got my hair cut today. The good thing was that it rained extremely heavily today and I finally heard thunder and saw lightning. Lol.. Created the best atmostphere to stay at home. Yeah, lazy me.

I guess it takes more to drag me out of the house.. =/

Due for first-aid duty soon,
Contemplating on whether to do on Thursday or Friday. Either way, we would still have to miss important lectures cum tutorials, don't we? Think, think..

Tomorrow..
All the best for your tournament =)
..Still feel like going down to watch
..oh well - . - ''

2008-03-17T18:21:00.004+08:00

Back!

..and I am still guilty of skipping Malay lessons today. The thought of the upcoming Maths block test is scaring me and the 1 hour long Biology Skill A still yet to be completed. So we decided to just skip this once. Ahhhh..I cannot take it. I have never done this before..boo hoo hoo. Guilt-ridden.

On a brighter note, I have finally completed my Skill A2! ^^ I am so happy. One down and a major one to go. I also just realised that I can postpone my English summary till tomorrow. Haha..thought that our next GP lesson was tomorrow.

School today was really fun. Better than staying cooped at home.

Let's see..
Muahaha..yeah, I remember this one. Classic. Noel was asking(more like demanding) us for Maths assignments to be handed in when we were buying food. Gosh! Then being cheeky, we said that if he were to hand in Geog/Bio homework then we would hand it to him (Big thanks to Karen..lol) . Stunned. Haha. Anyway, I followed it up when I reached the classroom. No choice. A subject rep has to do what she has to do. - . - In the end, I got 1 more geography assignment handed in. Extremely happy.

For our peers who took the Tourism course for Culture Studies are having their 'anticipated' field trip. haha..just one trip down to bring a close to their culture studies period. I, on the otherhand, is still left with unknown number of lessons. Gosh..I wonder how many. For us, we have to take a test, which I hope is some oral passage reading. Lol..I don't want to burden my mind on learning any more new malay vocabulary. I get a headache when I read the book. Heheh..nope, I am not exaggerating.

Hmm..what else.

Tomorrow is 'Start the Day with PC'! waaahhhh. PC is known to have exhausted our energy for the day and in an extremely bad way too, especially if it is the first period of the day. On the other hand, the great news about the change in timetable is such that we would end our Fridays much earlier than before. Even if it is for half an hour. Cheers to the 1 and a half hour slot for Chemistry practical. ^^

But..
It will not take effect until next Friday because it is GOOD FRIDAY! Woohoo!!

Maybe I will go out on Friday.. =)

Received news
..from my OG mate that there may be a hints in the revision maths book but..what difference does it make if you do not prepare for it. Lol..but hope it helps whoever who is reading this.
Of course, this piece of information is from the subject tutors but I was not informed of it.

But it is okay. Either way, I really hope I am prepared for this.

To ALL..good luck for the Maths Block Test tomorrow!!! ^^

2008-03-16T16:59:00.000+08:00

I am going to announce that Evan Yoo Ho Suk is going to release his second album after my most loved song of 2007 (nope, it is not Big Bang :P)..in 2 days time! Hope hope it sounds as good as the first album. Yup..I am so going to look forward for it today. =)

Today is rush hour for all my homework assignments. The terrible thing is that I realised that everything is all due by TOMORROW! Plus, they are all three-quarter done by now. Reporting at 5pm. Lol.. I am so not going to make it in time for tomorrow.

I am praying that this sky would at least order it's heaviest showers for this entire week by an hour's time so that I can leave for home and have more time with my homework. Lol..

There is this praying session that is funded by someone (obviously). No idea who, no idea what is going on but I definitely know that they are making lots of noise. Yup, first is noise pollution. The second one just happened yesterday. Guess? Air pollution. Come on, they pray and burn something at the very least when they have completed the procedures.

Complicated..but I shan't elaborate further because they are getting louder as I type.

2008-03-15T16:22:00.001+08:00

A couple of hours later, I am due somewhere but I am not up to it at all. No, this body of mine is on a rejecting mode. Rejecting the urge to leave the house because it is bound to fail out there. Haha, yeah..still feeling quite sick. Recovering but not feeling up to it at all.

Today, I shall complete as much as I can for assignments. I cannot say the same for revision though. Feels quite strange studying in the kitchen area because all the food is surrounding me. Found myself really occupied with food throughout my assignment. Can't help it. ^^ Lots to do..and there is still this 1 over hour long commitment to Bio Spa A2. Gosh..hope I grasp the skills to write extremely fast and conjure up a better experiment than the last.

Hope and really hope that the whole class, including myself gives a more ideal apparatus and experiment procedures...Or we would end up with another round of hilarious pratical session. Juggling 10 test-tubes at one go, waiting forever for the iodine to turn back to yellowish-brown (which will never happen, instead, it turns colourless. lol); using up all the ioding solution, distilled water (which is expensive) and Benedict's solution, etc. The list goes on... ^^

I still cannot forget the mocking smile she gave me/us when I dropped the iodine solution into the starch solution. Almost released the test tube because of her. Did not dare to drop the iodine solution in as well. Really funny. Kept laughing throughout the session.

Alright! Later would be my 10-items show. Muahaha..see if they manage to find all the hidden items. Last week's show was short but funny because the artiste was extremely ignorant of her surroundings. She wasted so much time. Lol..

I just remembered! I need to purchase a correction tape before it runs out. This correction tape was a living nightmare for some of my classmates. There was one time I almost spoilt it because I was super excited about the GP essay. After that, we had that Biology SPA assessment. Thankfully the tape was plastic and not the paper kind so with it withstood all my frustrated actions to fix it.

Yeah..so it is like running against rust. For me, it was totally fine because I always apply lots of force when I am writing. It spelt differently for the rest. They tried so hard to make it work. Some failed. Some managed to get the hang of it. Lol. That's for using the correction tape and being super lazy to get yours out. Wahaha..not that I mind anyway. ^^ It was hilarious. Almost broke into fits of laughter in one of the tutorials. Desperation..

The sky is playing tricks on me! For the very first time in this whole entire week, it has maintained it bright shiny weather for more than 6 hours. Then it started to turn gloomy because of the hovering dark clouds and I really thought it was going to rain. Nope, it decided to hold it much longer. Then, the sun was shining as bright as ever! A couple of hours later, the sky started to darken again. I decided to close the windows this time because I did not want to take the chance. Bad choice. The sky is sure having tantrums. Never mind..it finally rained after repeating this a couple of times. It completely made me exhausted. For this, I am pretty sure it is very successful.

Spent most of my wonderful time here on the computer doing useful stuff. Completed at least three quarter of the Period 3 element Chemistry lecture. I think the Chemistry teachers are being really too ambitious. I thought they would just give us the powerpoints as they are but they decided to do the voice-over, such that we could follow the lecture like it was the actual thing itself.

But..the teacher was speaking so quickly and there were important notes to take down. I had to repeat each slide more than 4 times to get everything down before I tried to comprehend what the teacher was explaining. Gosh! It took forever! Started at 9:45am and ended at about 12:30pm.

Of course there were distractions..but they were kept to a minimal. If it were the case, I would have preferred the very first powerpoint they sent us on for the same set of lecture notes.

All in all, it was a chore.

Going to attempt completing the entire pile of homework by tomorrow. I wonder what I am left with.

Major test to prepare for next week. Upcoming 2 hour-long Maths test. I wonder how many questions there will be. Not sure if I am prepared for it though. Big ambitions..come with many setbacks.

It is finally raining..my mum hopefully comes home after this downpour. The likelihood of this rain being torrential will be extremely high, since the clouds have waited for this time to come.

Drip drop drip drop..boom! Oh yeah..I have not heard the thunder or seen any lightning for this past week. Kind of miss it.. Of course we will not see it. Haha..since the rain is a long-lasting one that stretches for more than 3-7 hours. ^^

Tonight will be an enjoyably cooling.

2008-03-13T22:38:00.002+08:00

Left the phone for a while and..BOOM! About 5 SmS from Sharifa. I was so stunned! Then, I read, thinking that my name will not appear at all. Lol..what have I done this past 1 year to get over 70 hours? Gosh..it seems a bit of little impact on me. Guilty-strickened.

Very quickly, the holidays have reached mid-way. Have I even made good use of this holidays for revision? ^^

I totally love my suckerfish loads. Why?
1) It makes the fish tank really clean! (Or is it because I happen to forget to feed them..whoops!)
2) It's a baby suckerfish. Aww..considered the smallest of all the suckerfish I have so far.
3) It is not afraid of humans. The very first..
Love it..totally! ^^

Kickstarted on the article searching yesterday, as part of an excuse to use the computer a little longer. I thought that maybe medical science was quite an interesting topic until nothing extraordinary appeared. Now..why can't I use ScienceDaily to research on the topics? It is so much more updated and resourceful than Times, Newsweek, Economist under the updates of science technology. I must really raise this up to my dear GP tutor. Sigh..must make do with it.

In addition to my research attempt, I only found environment the most updated with lots of examples to quote and such. No, I shall not look into environment for now. Yes, I shall turn to other areas, or else my essay would be science turned an essay all about environment issues.

Took 2 hours to find articles. Pretty happy with 2 but I was thinking of changing the last one. Maybe I shall take some time off later to search the sites again. The more I think about it, the more I feel like doing politics. Lolz..

Hitler, Stalin, Napoleon, nuclear arms race. Shall save that for the Government topic.

Sigh..should not have thought so much about the class outing. Because they cancelled it in the end. Not many could make it down today. Moreover, the rain is calling us back home to have a nice long afternoon nap. Ain't the sky so thoughtful for us? Providing the right atmosphere for complete relaxation. Perfect! Just perfect! =)

Today's lunch was chicken! My mum may be going to KFC to work. Wahahaha..Does that mean I will get lots of Mash Potato every month as a treat? ^^
Don't get excited just yet..not sure if she was selected. Lol.. Shhh...

Here's my famous edit! For everyone who is alert and manage to see that I have added some extra paragraph below..

My mum bought a box of grapes of two colours of rich purple and pale green. They seem to have hibernated in the fridge for at least a week. Now, my mother is on a 'spree' to get rid of them as quickly as she can. Now, who wouldn't like grapes? The problem lies right here..Those tempting juicy oval-shaped fruits look so succulent and sweet that you would want to eat it right away. The plus thing is that they are seedless. It is like everything is just laid right before your eyes to consume without having to do more than just popping them into your mouth.

My mum's grapes were completely sour. Extremely sour. They have gone from the sweet sour taste to the intolerable sour taste of today. Every bowl of grapes she brings in surpass the level of sourness of the day before.

Conclusion? They have surpassed the sour tape that I have craved for during Term 1. I think I have gotten enough for this week. This must be part of the reason why I have a bad tummy ache this morning. Hmmph..

I think I should revert back to my chocolate sweet tooth. Yummz...craving for chocolates! ^^

2008-03-12T23:08:00.000+08:00

First of all, Ms Wun's biology tutorial was a success..in a way that I managed to stay awake! But, there's always a but..felt really exhausted after that long, yet worthwhile lesson. One of the many subjects that has kept my attention span the longest this year.

Forgo lunch with the rest today because..
1) Half-eaten lunch of yesterday that has yet to be finished
2) Feeling quite drained
3) Don't feel like travelling
Haha. Oh well, I am pretty satisfied with my decision because for the rest of the day, my throat felt like I have eaten lots of fried food. It felt really dry, oily. I predict that I will get a sore throat tomorrow.

Nope, I do not think I can make it down tomorrow. My body is still not up to it yet. Feeling a bit of a headache and slightly feverish. Yup! But enjoy yourselves tomorrow..with all the wondrous delicacies you all manage to find. Ahhh..so jealous. Have always wanted to attend one of such event. Oh well..health comes first this time. =)

All the sky can do now is to rain non-stop around the late mornings and throughout the afternoon. Where is the sun? Where is the fluffy white clouds against the clear blue sky? Drive away the gloominess that has loomed for the past week.

Shall blast my whole of tomorrow with the piling homework..provided if I am feeling better (obviously). Roar..have wasted an entire 3-4 days of my precious holidays on recovering. It's okay..well deserved rest. Haha..

I was really getting worried over the fact that I came up with a rather queer question, which was unexpected of me to ask. Yeah..I was super hyper at that time, or else I would not have asked. heheh..then, there was complete silence for 1 over week. That made me ponder if that had raised hopes. What was that question? I forgot :P
But it was capable of bugging me..

Glad it's over!

Yawns..I hate it when I just rot at home, watching people come online and go offline and switching between the computer, studying materials and the most comfortable bed. I love it because it has become a habit, a routine I can never do without. Yup, it's contradicting. Yup, this is called sitting on the fence. Wait a minute..is this the same theoretical concept of sitting on the fence?

2008-03-11T16:55:00.002+08:00

Came down with a fever, definitely not a great way to start the holidays. Also, I observed that I always have fever either during exams or during holidays. I wonder what went wrong.

My classmates want to go indulge in food on Thursday but with this fever, I am not even sure if I can survive Biology tutorial tomorrow. I have not even complete tutorial 25 and took the entire morning and afternoon to complete 2 questions. Gosh..it has never been this bad but it cannot really be helped, can it?

Yup..self-medicate, I think it's the best way to cure my fever. Not sure if the cancellation of chemistry lecture is a relief or a burden because we are definitely due to return during June holidays for extra lecture cum tutorials.

Slept and woke up because my mum called to ask if I was okay. Like always, I picked up the phone just when she gave up because I heard the phone being put down. Talk about bad timing. I only called her an hour later.

Today?
I went to the post office to collect the all-time due collection of a registered mail for my father. Luckily I set off early because an hour or so after I came back, it started to rain..until now. Bought my lunch but it has been half-eaten.

Should I go for tomorrow's tutorial? I know I have to but my headache seems to get worse and worse. Sleeping does not help at all..

2008-03-10T00:02:00.005+08:00

Eeek..please do not blame me if I happen to reject any your calls via my house phone. I currently have a phobia of phones.

Case 1:
On a wonderful evening, when I was trying really hard to cram Chemistry, lots of phone calls came. First, it was my mum's friend who kindly accepted that my mum was still working. She called half an hour later and asked for my mum again. This time, she sounded as if my mum owed her something, quite demanding but in reality, that was her original tone. Scary.. Then she called again, half an hour later, I was rather afraid of the phone now but still accepted the call because my father was busy with the dishes.
Thankfully..my mum came back =)
....end of ordeal 1.

Case 2:
On that very same evening, before my dinner..my aunt called and spoke in Chinese. She was excited about something but I had no idea what it was. Yup..a few seconds later, she put down the phone. Before doing that, she said she would call my mum's office. Okay, good one, xiaohua.
By then, my father and I were quite irritated by the phone..
So when dinner came, aunt called the house to no avail.

Why?

'Cos both me and my father decided to ignore it..Lol
No escaping..because very soon later, my father's handphone began to ring. Gosh! My desperate aunt!!
When he answered, it was just about an upcoming Family Day all over at the other end of Singapore, held last Saturday. Sigh..should have known.

Case 3:
..which happened to be yesterday. My mum called while I was having my habitual Saturday afternoon nap. Yup..made her give up on me =) Decided to wait for the person to hang up but the incessant ringing grew on me.

And so I tried..I tried to take my time to crawl across the bed. It took ages..but when I reached there, my mum hung up. - . -
Tried to sleep again but to no avail..so I woke up to sit in front on the computer. 5 mins later..it came again. Picked it up..the question asked, ''Can you check for me if there is any spaghetti left?'' Roar!!

Case 4:
..which just happened a couple of hours ago. Jie called..both my father and I picked up at the same time. Quite freaky..because my mum was complaining that she could not get to my sister via her handphone throughout my dinner. Haiz..was expecting a less lively dinner but it turned to be more of a nag on..me. It's not my fault. =(

So..as if my sister can read her mind, she called. yay! Never talked to her though..

About 15-30 mins later, Jon called. Mum picked up this time..one in ten calls. - . - Whoa! Spoke with a different accent that almost made my mum hung up on him. Wahahaha..that would have been entertaining. Question asked when it was transferred to me, "May I know how to address your mother?'' Lolz..so funny.

Jon..if you happen not to know him, is my sis's bf. All the way from Mauritius. Cool, yeah? Should get him to translate all my French songs. He is one year older than me! Old, yeah? ^^

In the end, it's me with the phone for the whole holidays 24/7, unless I decide to leave it's side. The wonderful thing to note is that all calls to the house are DEFINITELY not mine.

Pics of holidays that my family went in '07 and '08!

Yup! I know it is really late but here they are! =)

Genting Highlands! Miss the place loads and it's freeezzzin' cold..brrrr.

Up the winding road which took more than 4 hours up but took less than 3 hours to go down. Almost puked but I survived the trip. =)

The breathtaking view of the tea plantation

Clean cool air..your health will definitely improve over here.

Haha..my sis was really fascinated with this. So here it is..said it was romantic - . -

What do you think? Lol..

Flower-overload!

Big sunflower..the nicest around.

Zooooommm Innn..Beautiful right? It's so fresh too! Better than the school's mini one..which died a week or so later.

From the hotel room..

The insect paradise! Was quite fascinated with it a couple of years back..but I can't recall it's name now. Doesn't it remind you of a rhino? ^^

Aww...doesn't it look adorable?! Feel like hugging it. ^^

Butterflies..flutter flutter. Really scary..when I was younger, I heard that if the butterfly flies past your eyes, the powdery they leave behind in their trail can lead to blindness. This is why I avoid butterflies whenever they flutter past. BUT..aren't they beautiful?

Have you ever seen the flower of the aloe vera? Here it is!! ^^

Bird of Paradise

Part 1 DONE! ^^

WARNING! Picture-heavy. Prepare for a long upload waiting time. Best seen in the morning when the Internet speed is much faster and more efficient than at night. lol.

All the way..had a diversion to First World Hotel at Genting Highlands but I am really glad that it was the first destination. Can't resist the subsequent places that we visited, especially Cameron Highlands =)

At the First World Hotel lobby

Love the decorations!

Look look! My father's a better photographer, unlike my sis's (above). Lol

Really love how they decorated the shop window.

Another perspective..

Guess who's behind the camera? Haha..girl power!

Ain't this familiar?

Before we left..almost the last to arrive the meeting area.

Read read! It's a genuine tea shop!

Flower-flower combine! Love them so! Wanted to bring them back home though but it's best to leave them as such..for others to admire. Heh.. =)

Sunflowers indeed..

My mum's fascination. My sis and I were like looking away and laughing when my father was taking the picture. She insisted that she must take with the person who is frying. Lol..
That is the food she bought..tasted really oily.

Gosh! Pink! All pink!! Chen Yuan's favourite colour!!!

Do you see that rectangular structure? Something like a bridge, with the word 'EQUATORIAL'? Guess what it is?

It's the water tank!! Haha..never guessed that right?

This is matriach..the leader. It's a she. Too bad she's not looking at the camera.

After the whole trip, I really do not like monkeys as a whole. Why?

This particular monkey was eating some fruit and suddenly dropped the fruit onto the ground. I thought it was going to pick it up but it started charging at me. I was so scared. It bit me at my leg and left a mark. Thank goodness it was a slight injury because I was wearing the track pants. Should have worn my jeans.
Too scared to run down because I am afraid of steps. Never had luck with steps. Once you fall, you may die. Cos it's a flight of steps up..100+ steps. Not to my favour. So I stood stunned and just screamed. Ahhh...lucky my tour guide was around and started hitting the monkey.
Had trouble coming down because I was really shaken up. If not for my mum, I would have just broke down. Sigh..cos my father and sister had already reached the bottom of the steps. So next time, I am never going near those monkeys!

NEVER! Lol..
That will be my bad experience at Cameron that I hope will not give me nightmares. The teeth it bared at me..really scary.

hmmm..decided to open another blog for fun :)
