i wonder what will make me happy

2010-12-02T07:24:00.001+08:00

wants to run away from it all

should i give up?

2008-09-20T01:10:00.002+08:00

HELLO!

Oh my gosh, i havent updated this blog in almost 2 months. Ahh..i think time passes too quickly. Im flying off in 3 days. But it's weird that im not actually that scared yet. In fact im really looking forward to the start of school. I think it'll only sink in when im in uk that i wont see my family and many of my pals till 9 months later.

Anw, i've been pretty busy recently with meeting up with frens, homework and trying to pack. Oh my, i still have more than half my hw left and my bag's still quite empty. Really hope everything will fit in. Imagine, my life for 9 months in 30kg.

Oh yes how could i forget....I PASSED MY DRIVING TEST! Now who wants to lend me their car? Haha finally i can stop going to eunos. Pretty sian going there so often alr.

Ok at least i've finally written something and revive this place. Im still thinking whether i shld go pack or do my work or sleep. Oh well...see how.

2008-07-27T23:31:00.003+08:00

just had "class" outing at bugis fisherios and some hong kong shop on liang seah street. Haven't met some of them in damn long and it was sure great to see everyone again. But attendence for class outings have been getting sad...kinda miss the earlier days in the year when more than half the class attended. In fact....i still miss jc days alot =(

I suddenly miss many of my friends. School's starting soon for those studying in Singapore and it's getting harder and harder to meet up. With others flying to countries all over the world, who knows when and how often we'll get to see each other again? Furthermore, it's finally starting to sink in that im leaving in less than 2 months. I'll definitely miss my mum and dad, my sis, missy and cassie, my friends and the comfort of home. It didnt seem that big a deal previously but it's somewhat daunting now. I wonder what uni would be like...without the protective and somewhat spoon-feeding environment that we're so used to...and in a foreign country.

Anw life's been rather mundane. Driving, going out with friends, dancing and skating a little, reading, eating (too much) and slacking. I guess i should start on the thick blue book from cambridge with loads of maths and physics questions and study for my FTT as well. After 8 months of not studying i dun think i'll be having an easy time. Oh well...

Im starting to miss my friends...

2008-07-15T22:50:00.001+08:00

it's exactly 10 weeks from today till i leave

2008-07-06T23:58:00.002+08:00

i think im starting to get use to life as an unemployed slacker. Staying at home, watching tv, reading, jogging, going out with frens, driving lessons etc etc.

So driving lessons have been pretty exciting. So far it's still been pretty basic stuff like moving off, stopping, changing gears and stuff. But going out to the main road on the 2nd lesson was really fun and not as scary as i tot it would be...since the whole line of cars was mainly made up of learner drivers anyway. The one big problem i have is that i always stall the car. It's like i release the clutch so slowly in the beginning that the car in front has already move off quite a bit. So naturally i'll panic abit and release it too fast...then the car stalls. And it tends to occur at the most crucial points...like at junctions. But still..i love driving! Also, i always meet familier ppl everytime i go to the driving centre...like yishi, amy and some other schoolmates or seniors.

Anw..the wimbledon men's final match has just been suspended due to rain. Thankfully...coz the way things were going it seem like nadal was going to win. GOOO Federer! Actually i didnt follow the match, just watch it every now and then but it's exciting nonetheless. I had a good shock just now when i changed to starsports and saw them covering the court. For a moment i tot the match was over. Go federer!!

With more happy news...Jay Chou won the Best Composer and Best Song awards at the Golden Melody Awards for Blue and White Porcelain (青花瓷) which just happens to be one of my favourite songs. And his partner Vincent Fang (方文山) also won the title of Best Lyricist for the same song. Yay!!

Ok i have nothing else to blog bout...might as well put the lyrics down here:

青花瓷

素胚勾勒出青花笔锋浓转淡
瓶身描绘的牡丹一如你初妆
冉冉檀香透过窗心事我了然
宣纸上走笔至此搁一半
釉色渲染仕女图韵味被私藏
而你嫣然的一笑如含苞待放
你的美一缕飘散去到我去不了的地方

天青色等烟雨而我在等你
炊烟袅袅升起隔江千万里
在瓶底书汉隶仿前朝的飘逸
就当我为遇见你伏笔
天青色等烟雨而我在等你
月色被打捞起晕开了结局
如传世的青花瓷自顾自美丽
你眼带笑意

色白花青的锦鲤跃然於碗底
临摹宋体落款时却惦记着你
你隐藏在窑烧里千年的秘密
极细腻犹如绣花针落地
帘外芭蕉惹骤雨门环惹铜绿
而我路过那江南小镇惹了你
在泼墨山水画里你从墨色深处被隐去

i suddenly have the urge to splurge. The word 'SALE' does get a little tempting sometimes doesnt it? Unfortunately, it all comes when im unemployed. There's driving class, dance at jitterbugs and shopping. Im getting poorer by the day. I need a job!!

Anw first driving class tmr!!

2008-06-18T22:07:00.003+08:00

im so sad. This week there's ppl to go out with, but im sick and cannot go. Was suppose to go out with some classmates on monday but decided not to coz im sick. Yesterday i left early from chinese dance gathering coz wasnt feeling well. And thx zx for waiting for taxi with me =)) Then today couldnt join the girls for movie coz..well u guessed it..im still sick =(( How depressing.

Anw..one pic from yesterday's gathering:

yup...nothing much to blog bout today. Still unemployed and slacking at home. Oh yeah..i just got invited to jtc's D&D. Haha..so exciting =) Ok...that's all. Bye.

2008-06-15T23:38:00.002+08:00

i've been bickering with them too much recently.

Anw, these few days have been abit more happening. Suddenly my schedule seems alot more exciting and i dunno whether to go find a job and start now or wait till july when that ielts thing is over. Though i dun really like the fact that im just staying at home wasting my time away. I've been spending on shopping and stuff like dance classes with no income coming in. $$$.

I've finally gone to sign up for driving lessons on sat. Gonna chiong everything in 3 months and hopfeully can pass la. If not have to pay more and continue next holiday when im back. Ahh..my btt is this friday. But shld be fine rite. If everything goes well...practical test is like 4 days b4 my supposed date of departure. Haha.

Ok, so I didnt do much this few days. Spent yesterday afternoon with the girls transfering photos from the switaly trip. But at least it wasnt spent lazing ard at home. Then today went to find my ban4 niang2 dress at the bridal shop.

Aiyah nothing to blog bout alr. Shall attempt to go read the btt book now. Ciao

2008-06-13T14:16:00.002+08:00

everyday i either eat out by myself or eat dinner after 9pm

wth

im not enjoying my unemployment anymore.

too bored.

nothing to do, no one to go out with, no money to shop, nothing to shop for

i've watched the same scene in the hk drama 4 times alr

not happy

2008-06-06T23:50:00.008+08:00

today's my first day as a happily unemployed person and such a momentous occasion definitely deserves a blog post. Anw it wasnt really happening coz all i did was wake up real late, go for medical checkup for the scholarship and then come home and slack the rest of the day away. Oh, how can i forget bout my first blood test ever (at least as far as i can remember). Not fun. Injections aren't exactly something im nonchalant about. Other than that, nothing much happened and i didnt have the mood to shop either which in one way or another is a good thing coz jobless= no money.

Anw italy/switzerland with the gals was really really fun. Great scenery, great food and most importantly great company. The other tour members were really friendly and caring towards us group of overly noisy and photocrazy xiao-meis. Most importantly, our tour guide dennis was really good with his many stories of pickpockets, travel, past experiences as a tour guide and very importantly, how to get past the airport personnels if ur luggage is too heavy. His dedication really made the trip especially interesting and memorable for all of us i must say.

I shan't describe too much bout the trip now. Hopefully i'll write more bout the day to day stuff some other time for memory sake. But so far, i have yet to do one for any of my trips in the past few years. We'll see how. But for now...just some pictures that i have at the moment till i get more from the rest.

2008-05-19T19:06:00.002+08:00

im off to italy/switzerland for the next 2 weeks

cant believe it's finally here!!

requests for photos etc will have to wait till i get back then=)

cya!

2008-05-16T00:24:00.003+08:00

im rejecting one of my scholarship offers and it feels really surreal. My other offer says conditional offer subject to the terms and conditions and a medical checkup. All should turn out fine, but im quite apprehensive whenever i see the word 'conditional'. Everything feels so uncertain and all the what-ifs start popping out. First it was Cambridge and the IELTS test which i can only confirm in July. Now it's the scholarship. It feels scary having to reject other offers and unis when nothing is 100% confirmed.

It's seemingly so simple to just fill in the form and submit. I know which scholarship im leaning towards. I've thought about it for quite some time already. But with the deadlines so close, I start to wonder if i've considered thoroughly enough what im commiting myself to for the next 10 years of my life. As cliche as it sounds, a scholarship is really much more than the money, it's the career. Am i ready for the job, the opportunities and the challenges ahead? I'd like to say I will be and im really looking forward to finding out what lies ahead. But it's always better to be safe than sorry. Anyone feels the same way?

I've been out with my parents quite alot recently to get stuff for uni like luggage and some winter wear. Oh well, there's sale at Robinsons anyway. It hasnt sunk in yet that in about 4 months i'll be flying off and prob wont be home till next june. That is unless my parents decide that they miss me too much and want me home in december. And of course, that my uni place and scholarship are confirmed. Btw, i realised that im starting to sound all cynical again. Notice the change in tone in this paragraph compared to the previous two. I guess im just not used to writing in proper english. How to pass IELTS like that?

Anw, im still taking my time to blog bout stuff that happened over the past month or so. Various outings and dance nite especially. Anw I just got an message on msn from some unknown user and blocked it. Im just too wary of spams and viruses already.

Oh look, it's 1.12am already. TGIF!

2008-05-14T23:17:00.005+08:00

YES Zhixu Mdm!!

okok...decided to update coz i've finally submitted my firm and insurance choices on ucas. Omg, to think it took me more than 5 minutes just to click, check, double check and triple check to make sure i got it right. But at least something's finally out of the way. U dun know how relieved i feel till u do the same.

Ok...im not gonna be coherent here coz too much has happened and i cant remember what happened when. Soo..it's just gonna be whatever comes to mind.

Since Ms Tan's bugging me, here's the pics dear!

first things first..

Y-A-M-Z

our all-time favourite drinks: tehping, tehping, yuanyang

zx practising her h3 maths skills by doing level-1 sudoku

oh look...i wonder who's disney water bottle is that??

so as can be seen...we had YAMZ outing again. First first...we met in school for cheap lunch since i had to go school to get stuff 'certified true copy'. Had fish from stall 6 and yuan yang again after so long. And since miss tan's a teacher, we sat at the teachers' table. Yay! I think im overly excited now. But we didnt do much...just sat in the canteen, eat and tok. Im not complaining though coz the canteen's my favourite place in school. Eating, mugging, sleeping etc. Anyone with me on this one? Also, I met miss koo and talked for awhile while she queued for food. It's always nice catching up with teachers (well, most of them at least), coz it's definitely more casual and fun now. So far i've met mr tham, mr sze and miss koo. Just left the geog teachers. Oops i've gone off track. Anw after school, we went off to plaza sing to catch what happened in vegas. IT'S GOOD! GO WATCH IT!!

I love u gals loads!! Yes..we must have sleepover soon k. Mahjong and contract bridge! Hopefully we'll have some form of abs after that..i hope =))

I think i'll just leave this post for YAMZ outing. Coz i cant seem to blog in proper english at all. Sounds really weird somehow. Next time then!

2008-04-23T01:38:00.003+08:00

im really tired..

but i cant sleep again.

oh no im back to one-liner posts

2008-04-22T23:27:00.006+08:00

today im really exhausted from dance and my back hurts for once...hey..that means we're training hard rite. But training was fulfilling anw. Last prac...go girls!!

anw im attempting to write more than one line coz cher says that the only thing i ever write- one liners. Hey cher!! u reading this? Haha.

So what's been going on? Scholarships..scholarships...and more scholarship interviews. They've been fun actually, quite an interesting experience talking to all the interviewers. And i've met a great bunch of people (uh-humcompetitorsuh-hum) at the various assessment centres. But no..seriously, there's one good part of this whole process. Yet, still no scholarships after 4-5 weeks. Im really hoping for the best. A few more weeks to go. **Ahh...screams!!**

other things...there was rg gym concert last friday. Omg we're sec 7! Anw went with aster, mel and zx. Havent met the former 2 since prom. Let's have Y-A-M-Z gathering again soon ya!! Ok picture time..im too lazy to write much now..

my juniors are pro

dan ren 05

Y-A-M-Z (not in order)

ok im tired alr. Gotta push myself through another day of work again and im not looking forward to it coz there's nothing to do at the moment. It's not fun to surf the net for 8 hours straight.

2008-04-15T00:08:00.004+08:00

when it comes to scholarship apps one really feels what it's like to work our heads off and yet have to accept that it may not pay off. And this time the consequences are really real. Worrying bout school exams may seem like such a big thing in the past and yes, they are important. But compared to scholarships and the many things we'll prob face next time, they are prob nothing.

it sucks to compare but it's natural instinct to do so and it absolutely feels terrible to know that well...maybe one just aint good enough. Trying to live up to expectations makes it even worse.

it's tiring...

but despite all my complains..i really have to thank mum, dad and jie for their support

2008-04-09T20:29:00.000+08:00

i think i should just quit and do something else

2008-04-09T20:23:00.001+08:00

and sometimes i wonder how the hell i got to where i am

2008-04-09T20:22:00.000+08:00

it's all not meant to be

2008-04-02T00:05:00.002+08:00

so it seems that my choices of unis have come down to just abt 2/3 unis since i've pretty much been rejected by the us unis that i had wanted. Nope..not waitlisted...outright rejected. I shouldnt be feeling that upset..but it just sucks to know that well..im not good enough for them. And 2 of the schools were my "match" schools. Maybe i overestimated myself.

I didnt even bother to read the whole of the decision letter online. The first paragraph made it bad enough. Maybe it's just the absolute horrible feeling of getting 3 rejection letters in a row.. after 3 acceptance letters earlier on...2 from uk 1 from us. And these few weeks havent been enjoyable to say the least. Many scholarship things to do...which should make me excited actually. Think abt it..i am quite excited, just really tired. Only things that make it worthwhile are krasshy gatherings, class gatherings and dance prac. Really..i think my life is wasting away. Oh look it's april alr.

The only reason why i blog is probably to rant. Otherwise, maybe a few fun things like outings or uni results to tok abt. Think i've complained too much and did nothing to improve anything. Didnt register for driving in the end nor sign up for any classes and aint earning much from work at all. Really, I just cant wait for this whole scholarship process to be over...though i hope it last till the end...the final interviews.

Okay, i've got an essay test tmr that im not that sure why im going for. Prob coz i dun want to regret not going should things turn out differently. Anw..time to go study abit for it.

2008-03-24T22:40:00.001+08:00

dsta interview today was quite ok. Had fun toking actually, prob coz i often get quite scared before such things and when it turns out better than expected i feel really good?

Anw it's only the beginning of a really long process. Today's just the first interview in a whole series and im already feeling quite tired and daunted by the whole journey. There's pub and lta tmr and jtc on thur. And this is only the first week. Oh well, nothing comes free..nothing comes easy. I hope it'll all be worth it. And at least i'll learn something from it all, gain experience in interviews etc. Hopefully i wont be that scared of them in the future.

Very often i dunno what to expect? How much should i prepare? Is there a right way to answer the questions? It seems like im too casual sometimes. Saying things that prob shouldnt be said at interviews...being too casual? But is there really a right way to approach interviews? Issit good to just be myself? Simple..no need to prepare.

Im excited but scared of the coming weeks. Hope i'll make it through it! GAMBATTE!

2008-03-23T23:24:00.002+08:00

dsta interview tmr.

quite scared but excited at the same time since it's my first formal interview ever.

Anw hope it'll be fun.

and there's HR outing to the singapore flyer tmr.

ok..wish me luck!

2008-03-19T22:07:00.002+08:00

am i crazy to have applied for 9 scholarships?

does it seem insincere?

but they're all sort of related.

Really hope i get at least 1.

One bad thing about applying for so many is that there's really alot of things to do.

It's time to start mugging the company's annual reports.

So far, i got 1 essay and ppt presentation due mon, one interview on mon, OFFICE SINGAPORE FLYER OUTING on mon and then another scholarship selection session thing on tue morning. Feels like im back in school chionging all the work again and having to comfort myself that it'll only be 3-4 weeks at most. After that it's HOLIDAY with the GIRLS!!

I havent exactly decided on my choice of uni yet. But it should be quite an obvious choice shouldnt it? There really shouldnt be much for me to think about actually.

Anw im giving myself a break tmr before chionging all the above stuff.

Class dinner and TONG1 XIAO1 MAHJONG TMR!!

Cant wait!!

2008-03-13T22:10:00.001+08:00

sometimes i find that they're not helping at all..

and these scholarship applications are making me crazy.

2008-03-13T17:26:00.002+08:00

Loads of rambling below...

i realised i've yet to blog abt results. Yup..it's not perfect but it's good. Im happy abt it, my parents are happy abt it. The unis shld be satisfied with it..and hopefully it's good enough for a scholarship.

Left work at ard 12 that day. Met my sis at j8 for lunch..well sort of, i could only eat half a bagel...and then got her to fetch me to school. Reached school bout 1 hour plus early, sat ard in the canteen with hui, angela and rachel, drank tehpeng and made lotsa noise while the poor j2s ard us were mugging for CTS. B4 u know it..it's into the hall, listening to the new principal read out a whole list of stats, most of which i couldnt absorb and then results time. I was almost the first to take results since register no 1, 2 and 3 were all not there. But i just plain refused to get it. Oh well...was really scared to look at the results but thankfully the hard work really did pay off. To all those who did well...congrats! And to those whose results didnt meet their expectations...it's over already. At least u tried ur best.

After the whole thing, went with a group of classmates for cake at the Big O at wheelock. But i think we were all quite tired..at least i was coz of being too high at school earlier. Then walked ard..sat down randomly in cine and i went to meet the parents la. Nothing much.

At nite...went with my parents to terminal 3 for desert..but there's no haagen daaz..and by the time we reached swensons they were closing. So we happily took the sky train all the way over to terminal 2, ate at swensons and then went home. Haha. All in all, on that day, i ate bread for breakfast, half a bagel for lunch, cake for tea and ice cream for dinner.

****

It's raining now. In fact it's been raining the whole day and im extremely thankful for the weather...it seems to complement my mood at the moment. Haha. Anw, took leave today to try and finish up my scholarship applications. But so far other than writing the essay for "abt yourself", i havent done much. And once again, technology has failed me somehow by insisting that im not singaporean. So today i've pretty much lost 50 plus dollars by not going to work. But at least i got to wake up late =))

Umm...havent had much to do in the past week at all. I've probably done abt 3 hours of work in total. Oh well. Anw, had alumni dance in school on tue at the windy benches again. I miss that place alot and it's nice to dance there again. Anw, did proper warmup and conditioning again and ended up with a back ache. I like the dance..

Yesterday, met up with some classmates for dinner again. Suppose to be at some turkish restaurant at shaw towers but we ended up at suntec again coz of the rain. We always tok abt diff things everytime we meet. Earlier on it was bout results coming out..this time it's totally on what school/scholarships we applying for...how's our work etc. Anw..not bad...think next week meeting up again for mahjong. Good job 6q! I love my (ex)class.

Im pretty bored now. Was suppose to watch L one of these days. But i tot it wasnt showing anymore until i saw the newspaper today. One show at 11am cine. But at that time im not even awake yet. Prob not meant to watch it now..gotta buy the dvd la. Working life is really boring. In fact it's even harder to meet up with frens sometimes coz everyone has different schedules now..some working, some have classes. There doesnt seem to be much for me to look forward to these days. Sometimes it feels like im wasting my youth away. So much that could be done in this period..like taking up a language class, learning to drive etc. None of which i've done. Wth have i been doing? On another note...thankfully there's the occasional meetings with frens that really help pull me through one day of work.

ok..i think i've done enough of random rambling. It's still raining...and scholarship forms are still incomplete. Ok...bye

2008-03-06T23:23:00.002+08:00

RESULTS ARE OUT TMR!!

Dun dare to look at my result slips.

Other than that, i dunno what else to say.

Been damn busy at work..

clocked in 10 hours yesterday and 9.5 today

but i must earn more money..

for SWITZERLAND/ITALY trip with the girls.

on another note, i shld try make life now more interesting

and stop wasting my youth away

2008-02-28T23:16:00.002+08:00

some things we just dont want to forget...

7 weeks into work and im still suffering from work-related depression every night and morning and especially sunday evening. Being a temp, it's not so much having too much to do but rather having absolutely nothing to do sometimes. It's severely damaging to the brain. Still missing being a student, seeing friends in school, sleeping in lectures, sitting in class, just having frens around. Sometimes, it seems like i dont talk at all for 9 hours while at work and after that, u get a blabbering me who just talks non-stop to anyone. Figured that day that the best time for me to go for any interview is after work coz i feel so deprived of talking and human interaction that i can just think of a reply to any question and talk non-stop.

Work is ok actually. There's up and down days. Most of the time it's just shortlisting people, making phone calls, alternatively being best frens with the printer and photocopying machine and sending emails. Other than that...im thankful for the presence of internet in the office. Since it's the office, the most appropriate inappropriate website for me to surf seems to be wikipedia, msnbc or channelnewsasia. Today. i refreshed the channelnews asia page so many times and got a live update on thaksin's journey back to thailand. One breaking news is that he ended his 17 months exile. Next time, he's on his way to court. And lastly, he's been granted bail. At least i can say my general knowledge increases...sort of.

But of all the news, there's still no news of when a level results are released. So many speculations...but shld be next week la. After that my pay would increase. I think im really money face. Oh well..and today, got 2 letters from NTU..one of which started with.. "congratulations on your a-level results!'. Guess they expected the results to come out today or tomorrow huh? I thought so too. But anyway, hope i feel the same way about my results when they come out.

This was meant to be a short entry. But i feel so deprived that im talking to the computer. Anw...i have a bad habit of wanting to sleep late..or else it just seems that there was hardly any fun in that day. But tomorrow will be a better day...i hope. More photocopying and most importantly meeting with some of the girls for dinner! Weekends there's dance again =)), natas fair with the girls and prob cycling...a stark contrast to my horrible and lonely last weekend. Other than that...the past few weeks have consisted of class dinner with some tekong boys present finally, singapore airshow where i got horribly burnt and start of alumni dance practises. Ok better go now.

2008-02-23T19:14:00.001+08:00

today i went to the driving centre....

...and failed my eyesight test

-_-

feeling so cheated now...waste time.

anw..kuih pie ti for dinner=))

2008-02-01T08:33:00.001+08:00

im blogging from the office now. Dunno if im allowed to do that...but oh well.
Came to work super early today until the lights were not even on.
Anw...tgif and luckily this week passed faster than the last.
Next week is like holiday la...only work one day
But then again got no pay then..so sad

Ok...i shall start photocopying, typing and filing now.
Class dinner...with the girls..tonite.
Cant wait!!

2008-01-30T22:00:00.000+08:00

despite all the mugging..

my 18th year was one of the best i've had.

the next year is gonna be quite different i guess

but i hope it'll be even better or just as good as the last

and on a side note..

i wonder if one year from now i'll be here in singapore or a few 1000miles away in uk/us.

Anw thanx to all my frens and family who made the past year especially memorable.

2008-01-17T23:46:00.001+08:00

i just want to commemorate this very significant day of my life

the 1115th and last day of wearing braces for me.

yay..ok..im still jobless.

2008-01-15T19:19:00.000+08:00

im bored
i still havent started work
i miss my frens
im addicted to dvds
i hardly slept earlier than 3am the past week
and i just realised my mum knows that
my teeth hurts

and the braces are coming off this week!!

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

just came back from tsparanza--rj orientation o8 and im really glad i went back. Loads of j3 ogls, other j3s and even j4 ogls went back to crash. I think many people are suffering from school withdrawal symptoms. Anw this year's orientation stuff like the skits are damn horny but really funny...and when was cross dressing allowed? All in good fun i guess. Also, did the sun and rain dance, sang the skool song and cheered and ahh..i really miss being an ogl and school alot! K photos..ogl skitthere's a heart shape somewhereTSPARANZA

Yesterdae had og dinner with lambada before shaun goes off to the army. Im really proud of lambada! 16 people turned out in total. Beat that! Anw..played cards, taboo and relived laudeamus days with orientation games like king kong kang kong and i never. Haha..i killed everyone by saying ," I've never been to skool this year." Anw it's been a wonderful and fulfilling experience being part of Lambada. Thx for being so enthu throughout orientation and even for a long time after by meeting up at the lodge. I luv LAMBADA!!

LAMBADA

Got my cambridge results and it's bittersweet i guess. Didnt get into clare college but got conditional to newnham instead which btw is an all-girls college. Still have time to decide...and im really thrilled to have gotten an offer...but am i ready for another 4 years of ij and rg like environment? Anw there's still time...and results and scholarship left to think about. We'll see how.

Now im still waiting for the call from pub...hopefully i'll get the job soon and start earning some money and keeping my brain from wandering.

Gtg...all the best to the guys going off to army and hope the girls have fun earning money/ enjoying this hols/ get accepted into the unis they want. Good luck.

i dunno how my dad does it. Durians were selling for $58 per box. He bought 3 boxes for $30!

2008-01-05T23:06:00.000+08:00

yay! met up with zhixu today after like 1 month? Haha..can u imagine..the last time we went out together was last last year. Time flies ah. Anyway..it was great meeting up with u too! Maybe i'll go back to rj one day to disturb u.

=))

Anw, yesterdae was damn fun! Had 6q class outing once again...this time not to orchard, not to marina area..not to skool..but to kallang leisure park! Turn out was pretty good actually..10 ppl in total. At least my 30 odd smses didnt go to waste. Anw..We met at 1230..supposedly..at kallang mrt and then went to pastamania for lunch. After that..went ice skating..then met up with toffa and aminah..then bowling and then dinner at old airport road hawker centre. Haha..im not sounding fluent today..but that pretty much summarises the activities. Ok...photos then:the skatersour very christmas themed scoreboard. the bowlersgeogers with mother earth! 2 of them in factthe girls <333

all blacks...

and colour.

finally..girls will be girls!!

2008-01-03T23:29:00.000+08:00

today was pretty fun. Dragged myself out of bed at 9am and went all the way to jurong to skate. First time im using public transport as an adult and i go all the way from pasir ris to jurong...to and fro. Expensive la..heart pain. But anw..put on my skates and skated for the first time in almost one and a half years. Met leonard there as well..and im glad im still able to land axels quite well and dbl sal..well somehow..anyhow. But i've lost much of my flexibility already..cant really do alot of other stuff like layback and biellman..not that i could do them well in the past. Anw..stamina's gone down loads but im actually happy that i got muscle ache for the first time in months. At least it shows im exercising some bit. Tmr ice skating with the class again. Want to have as much fun as i can before i start working.

Later..went all the way back to pasir ris, rot ard awhile before going out again to meet the gals. Too bad sab sherri and angela couldnt come. Was suppose to watch national treasure but they were either sold out or the timings were not right. So we headed off to aji tei for dinner. And no..kelly..it's not a merger btw ajisen and sushi tei. Sat there, had dinner and talked for close to 2 hours. Aiyah..most of them got jobs already la. Im one of the lazier one already. Soon soon...still waiting for the person to call me. Anw..realised that im not alone in missing school alot ALOT! Not so much the studying..but more of seeing our frens everyday, in the morning, in between lessons, during lessons, after school. I really miss my frens alot. Like some of them were saying..it can get really boring at work sometimes when u dont really have people to talk to. It's just the start of the new year...but im already excited and elated everytime i have a date with the girls or others. We must meet up again ya! And...EUROPE...here we come..MUST MUST!!

2008-01-03T22:50:00.000+08:00

here's the new years eve post. Haha..wonder when i'll get down to doing a us trip post. Last year's taiwan one didnt turn up.

Anw...spent the earlier part of 311207 finishing up uni app for stanford before going out with the family for seafood dinner at amk. Ahh..finally. Been wanting to eat seafood since the end of As. Anw..ordered the usual...butter crab, chilli crab, cereal prawn, sambal kang kong, fried tofu, claypot tofu and rojak. Shiok la.

After that, got a lift down to raffles city to meet the classmates for new year countdown. We walked all the way to padang only to find it pretty empty at ard 8pm. Placed our mat on a nice spot, set up the candles and ipods complete with speakers and sat down to play cards for the next 4 hours. Nadz brought donuts and ivan baked peach pie. And there was this little girl who kept coming over to join us. But sadly i dun really understand kids talk.=( Before u know it...the fireworks started. We couldnt hear the music nor the countdown from where we were. But it was fun to bask in the celebration atmosphere.

After the thing, we hung ard for awhile waiting for ppl to disperse. But by 1240 it was still damn crowded and we had to squeeze our way through. But thx to beejuan who pretty much dragged us through the crowd, we got out of there quite quickly. Then after that, james, beejuan, jia en, yiyan and i went to chijmes, found a pub or something, sat down, had some drinks and rotted for awhile while waiting for the trains to be less crowded. Later, the group of us went to james house and played tong xiao mahjong again. We're such gamblers. Anw played with money for the first time..and im proud to say i won the most money at $4.30!

Later that day..went to toa payoh to meet my mum to do our hair. It's pretty good that i didnt sleep at all the previous nite coz i sat in the salon for close to 4 hours and had absolutely nothing to do. Anw at least it was worth it...now it's so much neater.

So that's about it for new year celebration. It was real great way to end 2007 and start 2008...with good frens and loads of fun!

2008-01-01T21:45:00.001+08:00

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

不能说的秘密

2007-12-30T14:50:00.000+08:00

im being an absolute bummer right now, lying on my bed, surfing the net and watching the tv amidst all the mess in my room. Yes..im that lazy, the suitcase is still here and the ws are still pretty much lying around. I shall get down to clearing it soon...yup..soon soon once my uni apps are clear. Just 2 more to go.

Anw I shall just get down and see what i have been doing the past few days.

Mon 24 Dec/ Tue 25 Dec
went to the bank in the afternoon for my mum and then met the parents for lunch at fish and co. Normally it's christmas dinner but since this year both my sis and i have stuff on, it's christmas eve lunch/tea instead. After that, bought cakes and pastries home, met my sis, had tea and then off to the class' chirstmas eve party.

Class christmas party at clara's house was fun. 13 ppl or so turned up and supposedly, there was to be no shorts, tshirts and slippers and so we saw dresses, skirts, blouses, jeans and shirts. We ate, talked, played mass murderer, mahjong, monopoly and had gift exchange. Sorry clara for that sad gift i got u. Anw, beejuan, james, amanda, ivan, I and clara (duh) stayed over, cleared up the place and then played mahjong through the nite. No money involved, but u had to drink if u threw the winning tile. Not bad, i only lost 3 times. But anw..time really flies and then it was morning. Played a bit more cards and everyone left ard 10. Sadly didnt take pictures la...but anw thx steph, beejuan and clara for organising it.

I spent the rest of the day sleeping and bumming ard and that's chirstmas 07.

Wed 26 Dec
stayed at home and did uni apps

Thur 27 Dec
went to rj to stamp my result slips and certs. Didnt see many ppl preparing for orientation. But it was really nostalgic walking through the skool again..brought back lots of wonderful memories. Went to A23 again and stood outside for awhile...thinking bout how we used to walk up to the door, hoping mr sze was not in class yet...etc etc. and the graph paper on the notice board is still up there. Ah..2 years of jc feels abit too short for me...but i'll definitely cherish the time i had in rj. After that, went to town, walk ard awhile, waited for my mum and then went home to do more uni apps. The classroom:

Fri 28 Dec
went to town again to meet yishi, aminah and toffa for mr magorium's wonderful emporium. Couldnt believe we were going to watch it before the show...but it was quite cute la..and abit sad. At lunch, we started reminiscing abt school and getting fascinated over aminah's teaching job. The 3 of them preferred rg over rj but i still very much enjoyed rj more. For one thing, i definitely had more of a life in jc and was more sociable. Thinking about it...in rg it was school, cca and then home. Otherwise it was just school and home. Didnt go out as much as now. I probably mugged alot more in Rj..duh with a levels..but the mugging was more fun la..in the canteen and library with my frens. Yes..mugging can be fun. Haha. Omg..im such a mugger...according to a few of my og juniors..i was always either mugging or sleeping. Yeah..but my memories of rj go much beyond that. Ok..digress too much. after that, walked ard wisma and taka and then went our seperate ways.

Sat 29 Dec
i got woken up by huihui's call at 11am. Seems like my sleeping cycle has gone back to normal again. Just after coming back from us i was waking up at 5/6 am naturally. Now it's 11. Anw, went to post the uni apps stuff and then shopped ard ntuc with the parents. In the evening went to meet hui at town again...omg orchard 3 days in a row..while my parents went for chen lei's concert. Haha. Once again..she bought stuff and i didnt. We almost never buy stuff together la. Went for dinner at crystal jade la mian xiao long bao. Queued for almost half an hour. But saturday nite what can one expect. It was much much worse at ding tai fung. Anw it was worth it...wanted to eat xiao long bao since before the a levels already. After queueing so long..each person must eat 5 la..then worth it. After that no time to go far east already so we bought ah pek ice cream and then went home where i finally submitted uni apps for cornell and illinois.

Sun 30 Dec
was suppose to go do hair with my mum. Haha..she can no longer stand the messiness of it. But i woke up late...at 11 again. Anw i guess i have to stay at home today. There's till one more uni app due 1 jan. Actually im not sure if i really want to apply. Dont think i can get in...but then again..what's the harm in applying. us$75 and a bit of time i guess. Haha..so far i havent really started on it. Realised i have neglected this blog for too long.

So the next week...supposedly new year countdown with some classmates...movie on thur with the girls...og outing and hmm...maybe ice skating or another mahjong session before ppl start getting busy with jobs or going to the army la.

2007 has been a great year with many great memories. Thx to everyone who made it this way, the girls, chinese dance ppl, 6q etc. Hopefully 2008 would be even better. New beginnings..new schools...new friends...but hopefully we'll still keep in touch.

2007-12-20T04:37:00.000+08:00

im back!! and jetlagging. Explains why im here now ah. I slept at 3pm and woke up at 1am..translated to california time means 11pm and 9am. Anw im starting to miss US now and so im going to try and sleep again and dream about it.

2007-12-10T23:31:00.000+08:00

hallo! from san francisco!

haha...i think im quite a noob. First time im blogging from a hotel somewhere in another country. It's 740am now here..prob 11pm in singapore i think. Anw just finished breakfast b4 some long journey somewhere else. Aiyah..woke up at 4am this morning la...both me and my sis couldnt sleep. Oh did i mention..we're at marriot.

Anw..let's start from the first day la. Plane ride from singapore to seoul then seoul to san francisco. The steward was damn funny la. Showed magic tricks...made rabbits out of towels. Aiyah...funniest air steward i ever seen la. But sadly the movies abit sian leh. Just when i had to have such a long plane ride. Anw..gtg soon la. Maybe the next hotel will have this again.

Cya!

2007-12-08T00:44:00.000+08:00

im flying off to US tomorrow..so see u guys when i get back!

Anw prom's just over. It was fun (note the limited vocabulary). But this is it...we'll probably hardly see many people again. Okay..emo-ing. Anw..maybe i'll just post some pics instead.

table46

gym

07s06q

shoes!!

at 330 am, clarke quay

i almost won $80 guess voucher from the lucky draw. Just one number away. It was 00455. I was 00456. And the ticket was from our table but we couldnt find it. 00454, 00456, 00457 all have but no 00455. Sad=(

anw...we didnt go for post prom party. Attempted to look for the place just for fun but couldnt find it in the end. So we ended up sitting by singapore river opposite clarke quay reminiscing about our 2 years. Well..sort of. At 330 we walked by to swissotel, washed up, played cards and mahjong till 730am when we finally went to sleep. Finally woke up at 1130, way later than we wanted to...lunch at thai express and then home. Reached home and slept from 2 to 9. For one moment, my parents thought i went missing when they couldnt find me. 8 missed calls.

So i've spent the last 3 days at home. Normally i dont last so long without going out. But most of the time were spent sleeping anyway. Thursday felt more like post prom day rather than wednesday simply coz i slept most of wed away. But anyway, i've been waking up as late as possible 11, 12 noon so that i've less time to have to rot away. Aiyah..uni apps, scholarships, job applications. So many things to do but i just didnt do them. Hopefully i'll have fun during the trip and emo alot less.

Btw..i've joined facebook. So if u know me add k. See u people when i come back!

2007-12-03T21:46:00.000+08:00

CONDITIONAL OFFER TO IMPERIAL!

2007-12-03T20:13:00.000+08:00

prom is tomorrow!
haha...cool to see everyone all dress up after months in school u or pe attire

saturday shopping with hui was shiok. Got my prom shoes, bag, earrings and necklace settled in one day and my feet didnt hurt at all for once, considering we walked for 5 hours? In total, we saw abt 10 over rj ppl in town. Not that many actually isnt it?

Anw, berkeley application is finally done. But for one thing, it kinda sucks to fill in a form sort of designed for the us education system when in singapore it's so much different. Had to clarify so much stuff in the application. Anw, 3 down, 4 more to go.

So today went manicure with hui, rachel and juee. Haha..very shuang, like taitai like that.

And i hope my nose holds up tomorrow, figure of speechly. Fell sick during sec 4 prom and now again. Ok..cant wait to see everyone tmr!!

2007-11-29T23:47:00.000+08:00

im almost done with berkeley application. Just that the online form insists that i was in RJ in sec4 instead of RG. How leh?

anw, sometimes i wonder if it's better to hope and wait for things only to see ur hope slowly fading away or to have never wished for it at all.

2007-11-29T00:32:00.001+08:00

this is the least i ever have to cut for some assignment, project or essay. Only 174 words to cut. Compared to over 3000 words for PW, this should be easy..i hope. Haha. Hopefully can finish this tonight, edit the whole application by tmr morning then can go out and look for prom stuff. Robinsons got sale tmr so i gotta decide soon. K bye.

2007-11-28T13:38:00.000+08:00

as usual, im blogging coz im suppose to be doing something else productive but i have no inspiration to write and so im surfing the net every few minutes.

doing berkeley essay now. Well trying to at least. Writing out all the points before i actually start to write. This type of thing must get inspiration u know. And i dont feel especially fluent right now. Cant decide if i should write more bout gym or chinese dance.

Anyway post As have been ok. Not especially exciting. Plans to clean up my rooms hasnt materialised. And im still in the relaxing mode. Cant bring myself to look for jobs or start on my many uni applications or find some course to learn. Feel like going back to skate but too ex la. The lesson fees raise like crazy.

I seem to go out on alternate days. Last tue go out, wed rot at home, thur class outing, fri shoppping with hui, sat rot at home, sun go out with my mum, monday rot at home, yesterday go out, today stay at home.

Okok...better go back to my essay. Must try and submit tomorrow.

2007-11-21T23:38:00.000+08:00

A LEVEL IS OVER!!

it was over yesterday actually, and that marks the end of 12 years of MOE education, the end of wearing school uniform, theunofficial but yet official end of school at RJ. OMG, im sounding emo. But really there'll be alot of things i'll miss at RJ. Hmm..maybe i should leave emoing to another time maybe.

So how has post-As been. As of today...not really happening. Woke up, rolled in bed for 1 hour while hmm..people were having lit paper and then rot at home the whole day watching tv and korean drama. What a no-lifer. Oh well..it should get better. Class outing tomorrow and prom dress shopping to come.

Anyway, went for the US tour briefing with my parents yesterday. Tell me, what's the odd of going on the same trip as another family that went on the taiwan trip last year too. Plus a school mate is on the same trip.

I shall get back to rotting. I think i'll start missing school quite soon. But for now YAAYYY!

2007-10-26T23:59:00.001+08:00

i need some reassurance.

but truthfully, who can give me reassurance but myself?

trying to calm down and mug while emo-ing is a challange in itself.

and lastly...now this is just to make myself relax a little...

what is part of the reason i applied to cambridge...

"to see what im capable of achieving"

RELAX!!

2007-10-26T23:17:00.000+08:00

i have to trust that doing my stats maths tutorial regularly during class would pull me through maths paper 2.

i cant seem to find time to squeeze in maths paper 2 with chem paper 3 and physical geog the day before.

in other words..im scared.

2007-10-22T23:27:00.000+08:00

i think i've been quite scary these few days, cheery one moment, black face the next and stressing out soon after. Really sorry for the mood swings esp to like hui and clara and yishi etc.

It's stupid, i have a consultation session with mr tham tomorrow but most of my questions were from a long time ago and i have no idea what they are now.

Should be studying at night, but i tend to crash pretty early nowadays.

kk..nothing else better to write.

2007-10-16T01:09:00.000+08:00

this is funny..

i was doing chem and got bored and so went to friendster.
and the first thing i saw on the horoscope was..

"Distraction is not what you need right now!

Keep your head down and keep going."

and so i got right down to chem.

But then i decided that it was funny.

And got distracted instead.

Ok..one more question!!

2007-10-14T23:00:00.001+08:00

i dunno how to study for gp..how...

2007-10-14T21:25:00.000+08:00

haha..my rg gym juniors were just on super sunday!

i shld be studying now
but instead im still printing stuff

2007-10-14T02:08:00.000+08:00

as of now, im waiting for the 17 pages university of michigan application form to finish printing before i start on university of illinois'. I dont really know where i want to apply to. Initially it was only berkeley and cornell. But somehow i found a few more and decided to apply. Apparently illinois' civil engineering program is top in us.

Anyway, my parents brought me to jie4 jiu3 xiao1 chou2 today. Actually we went brewerkz la. Haha..not bad. Walked around clarke quay after that for awhile. Very nice . Saw that clinic pub place. Then came home and got motivated to study. So im done with hydro. Was suppose to do some gp after that but I got on the comp and have been downloading forms since. My improve GP plan doesnt seem to be getting anywhere. Two weeks to As..im scared. Im scared Im scared Im scared. Ok i cant type on anymore. Not like zhixu. Haha..should just copy and paste her's.

My parents bought a new car today. And they didnt tell me about it. Why am i always the last person to know bout stuff?? Haha..like when my cousin got pregnant. Anyway it got me thinking bout how everythings seemed like such a big affair when i was a kid. Getting a new car was always a whole family affair where we'll go from showroom to showroom. When booking tours we'll always take quite a while to decide. It's not that im bothered by it, but it just goes to show how much things have changed. Or how different we're treating things nowadays.

Oh the 17 pages are done.

As of now..school is life..life is school. But at least it'll be over soon. Actually mugging the whole time doesnt feel that bad. No im not sadistic. And definitely i can get use to not studying very easily. But i think i've gotten used to this life already. Yes MUGGER..i know. But though life in RJ has definitely 120% been fun, we cant deny that a large part of it had been taken up by studying. Im seriously scared for A levels. I dont feel as prepared as i should be by this time. But it's not the time to say i dont think i'll do well. Whatever time we have is all that we have. Somehow someway we'll have to make sure things work out. This seems like some kind of motivation speech...but i trying to ban myself from having any negative thoughts coz it definitely wont help in anything.

So friday was the farewell assembly. Quite a few nice videos with clips from orientation through 2 great years in RJ. I'll miss RJ, i'll miss my friends, my class and CCA mates.

I'll probably update bout it another day. Better go sleep now or i can forget about mugging tomorrow.

2007-10-09T00:10:00.001+08:00

yay! im finally done with ucas!

so it's cambridge engineering, imperial civil engineering and aeronautical engineering.
Should have put in 2 more. put 5 or put 3 still 15 pounds. Oh well. Haha.

Oops..i had to wake my parents up just to complete that application. I hope they dun ever read this though i think my mum knows i have a blog. But she said she wont look at my stuff. Haha..

Hahaha..now to study geog.

2007-10-08T23:47:00.001+08:00

this is a joke la..
im on the verge of finishing my ucas application
just need to pay 15 pounds online..
and the internet decided to be damn slow.

I want to finish this now!!
so i can go study geog like i was suppose to.

2007-10-04T23:40:00.000+08:00

now i know where my 1 mark and A for physics went..

1: Kinetic Energy=mv^2
2: 10^-13/ 10^-27= 10^16

this is called wasted.

2007-09-27T21:56:00.000+08:00

i cant exactly say im sad about my results so far coz they're okay generally. String of Bs. Came out as i predicted after the papers. But nonetheless im disappointed coz they arent exactly wat i was aiming for prior to the papers. Really hope maths and geog will do well. It's quite amazing. But GP's my best sub at the moment. Kk..shall try and get started on getting As for the As.

2007-09-13T23:01:00.000+08:00

it's time to have faith in yourself.

it's chem tomorrow

2007-09-08T22:54:00.000+08:00

im very scared..

i know no one wants to read bout others' complains bout what else...mugging. But im gonna rant anyway. Dont read it if u dun want to. Im really scared. What's new. But why do i feel like i havent mugged as hard as promos. It doesnt feel like prelim's 2 days away. As in...IT"S PRELIMS!! And despite all the long sessions in school i cant seem to finish the syllabus. Plus my timetable isnt very optimistic. Tue afternoon physics paper 3, wed morning maths, wed afternoon human geog. 2 hours, 3 hours, 3 hours. Tell me how to survive like that? Plus im not prepared for chem on friday. Dont tell me how many practise papers u havent done. Coz i havent done any. Today sucks. I was suppose to mug out from 12noon till late. But less than 1 hour into it i gave up, left starbucks, came home and slept. It would have been too embarrassing to cry/tear in public for seemingly no reason. So instead of about 12 hours, i would at most clock in 5 hours today. Definitely not sufficient to finish economic geog, look through some of the other geog readings and start revising physical chem. All the talk about being really prepared for prelims or what not. It seems like i can never be prepared enough.

Anyway, this few days my family very happening. It's my sister's ROM tomorrow and alot of my relatives from malaysia are at my house now. And my cousin gave birth yesterday but i cant go visit her and ALDRIC!!

Ok...it's time i got back to mug. WTH. Wish me luck. And good luck everyone.

2007-09-06T01:30:00.000+08:00

YYYEEEEESSSSSSSSS!!

Im finally done with cambridge application!

See..

It's the best i can do for now. My UCAS personal statement..note..the final final one was completed in 2 days with only my dad looking through it once. The last 3 nites were totally spent doing this thing. Shall just hope things work out. Imagine how much mugging i could have done in this time.

Anyway since i just uploaded the pics from my cam i might as well post them.

TEACHERS DAY

Mr Lee!
Mr Tham
Ms Koo

that one was funny..

and finally...

LIU YI CAME BACK TO VISIT!Liu yi!!! All the best at cambridge!

With the president scholar..Liu chen!!

There's chem mock prelims tomorrow and i dun think im prepared. Surprisingly studying in school has been fun and time passes damn fast. Think i'll go read some notes now..i hope. Bye!

2007-09-04T00:29:00.000+08:00

i update more when im stress and busy.

YES..IM STRESS!!

i seem to be mood-swinging on my blog quite alot.
Anyway im writing my personal statement now rather than mugging for prelims. Damn sianz from writing already...and it sounds really draggy . But die die must finish the first draft by tonight. I have damn alot left to mug..geomo, economic and population geog, physics, inorganic chem...and that excludes practising. Like i've said before, i cant seem to remember anything.

Anyway im surprisingly awake now considering that i have had a total of 4 hours of sleep last nite, plus 1 hour in the car to school, 15 minutes in school and 45 minutes on the way home. Not bad.

Kk..back to work.

2007-09-02T01:14:00.000+08:00

im in an oddly good mood now. That sounds grammatically wrong isnt it. Anyway, im wide awake from the after-effects of drinking coffee at 9pm. Trying to finish up the last of urban geography now, though i seem to be taking a really long time to finish one set of notes. Yesterday was quite interesting actually. Had a freaky encounter at macs with someone obsessed with tokyo drift. Really scared me that i zao to bk instead. Ended up as the only person there at 1130pm. And then i came home and continued geog. My english sounds horrible. But gp's over for now...Ok...i realised i like mugging outside at nite. That's all..good nite.

2007-08-28T22:11:00.000+08:00

first and foremost...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

LIANG HUIHUI!!

now...why im still sitting here, not bathed and not started studying is a very good question. Prelims are two weeks from now (if u dont include gp that is). SCREAM!! I've been studying for quite awhile already..but somehow it doesnt feel like i have. That mugging feeling that i usually have hasnt set in yet.

I feel stupid really. But who am i to complain to. Ppl will go "shuddup la!" Indeed i do the same to quite alot of people. But really..how can i take so long to read just a few sets of notes and yet cant seem to remember anything at all. My stamina seems to have dropped quite alot as well. Maybe it's a JC thing. In RG i had no problem staying up till 3am for a few days in a row. But now i cant even mug continuously anymore like i use to last year.

Cambridge applications, personal statements, SATS plus mugging is really killing me. As a matter of fact...applying for cambridge should make one feel smart isnt it. But rather it's making me feel stupid.

Somehow this post feels so unlike me. Oh well..three more months and i wont be complaining anymore.

Btw...it was the last day of official lessons last Friday. But it just felt like any other day. Really..i'll miss JC and my class 07S06Q alot!!

Rite then..good luck everyone!!

HAPPY NATIONAL DAY!

but this year's national day seems the most sian to me. It's just gonna be another day spent mugging. Dunno if we'll go see the fireworks anot. But cant imagine having to squeeze through the crowd.

(super messy post ahead plus horrible english). Just typing whatever comes to mind. Seriously im just writing rubbish.

Anyway this year's national day celebration in school was damn good. The thing lasted from 3 to 9 plus yesterday yesterday so that we could have holiday yesterday. And it was really much better compared to last year. Kinda brings back the mood and fun that we use to have back in rg during all these celebrations. Seriously in rj celebrations seldom have that kind of mood. Like last year's national day was class breakfast and then those walking around kind of stuff. So im glad that in my last year at rj there's two of such events. Take 5 and nat day celebration. Really takes alot of effort to plan such big scale events for the entire school population. Anyway back to yesterday, school ended at 12, went out, watched disturbia and then back to school at 630. So didnt take part in raffles believe or not etc. Reported, took free carrot cake from beejuan and clara and prata from ivan coz the queues were too long and the stores were near closing anyway. Then stood around and watched the performances lor. Took photos but they're in my phone. Will upload them when i find out how to transfer the pics to my comp. Which i think will be never....or in a long long time. oh ya. BW and BB won ihc. MR got third.

So today...wrong, yesterday, went to watch secret with hui in the morning and then mug later. Enjoy first. Then i'll really mug coz guilty conscience. Anyway the show's damn good. At least to me la. The story's very sweet in front and that twist that they keep toking about is really unexpected. Like how could he think of it. Abit preposterous, wrong totally impossible. But dont think too much about it and just watch and then it's really good. Plus the scenes with them playing the piano were amazing. i really considered watching it again. Also, after so many hollywood western films it feels good to watch an asian show again.

There's so many shows i want to watch now. Watched 2 in 2 days. Plus there's 881 etc. Why must all the shows be released during the exam mugging period and no good ones after exams?

Anyway, finally got rid of those things to do which have been hanging around, like 3 best achievements and making my exam study timetable. YES IM DONE WITH THAT! which means i can really start mugging. Prior to this it's like im studying but im not getting anywhere . Not that i'll follow the plan tightly. As a matter of fact i hardly referred to it during common test 2. But at least i have an idea of how much time i've left and what's there to do.

If u read all those crap. Good job. Haha...Let's see, on national day, i'll have to do organic chem and physical geog. Abit ambitious. Shall see.

Rite then.

Happy birthday Singapore!

2007-08-01T23:31:00.001+08:00

I FINALLY FINISHED READING

HARRY POTTER!

2007-07-30T22:13:00.001+08:00

i shouldnt be pissed but i cant help feeling damn angry now. ihc track is tomorrow. so i was hoping to use my trusting spike shoes which i've used every year since p6. Yes. i can still fit into them. But since last year it's finally showing signs of old age and i got my dad to help me mend it. But in doing so he insisted on ripping the whole base out and sticking it back. And what do u know, it cant freaking stick back now. So tomorrow i can jolly run with slippery normal sport shoes tomorrow. I really didnt mind sticking with how the shoe was initially but he insisted that i would fall wearing it which might be true and i almost and really didnt want to break into a quarrel just over this shoe thing. And he went to buy a stick of glue just to help me mend it. Ya..i think im spoilt. So see...im feeling super pissed and irritated and yet know that i shoudnt be and have no case in being angry at all . And i cant even show that im pissed lest ending up quarrelling with the folks again. $%#%@#%^@$^#@!$!!!

2007-07-22T21:04:00.000+08:00

my study plan for this weekend failed. Went raffles city with hui to mug again today. But we left quite early coz it was too sian. Actually more like i was too irritated with maths S5.

Chinese Dance farewell was on yesterday and im glad i went. Our juniors are evil. To think we were so nice to our seniors last year. First, we played food twister. I think the pictures will explain it better. Anyway according to the juniors, the food were expiring soon. There's eggs, tomato ketchup, chilli, milk powder, mayo, peanut butter plus some other shit.

Fun rite...Anyway they then decided to play water bombs...with food dye. J1s against J2s. Haha. They had more bombs, but we got the brains. Haha..ok just joking. Later, sat around, ate and talked. Common topics of conversation included what unis to apply to, what courses to take and who's going to be prom king/queen. Anyway, the juniors got us a very nice and big cake..complete with fans=) Ok pictures..

j2s j1s & 2s

btw...it feels quite good to have someone else know about it=))

Ok..now for some long delayed updates.

POST CTS SLEEPOVER!

Met the gals for dinner at fish and co after physics paper and then late night shopping which didnt really work out coz the shops were either closed or really crowded and the aircon was off in some places. Then, hui, kelly and rachel came to my house for sleepover. 200 pound beauty, mahjong and then sleep at 5am.

Gym Comp

went to watch gym comp on 13th july. Must say that i've really lost touch with gym after just a few months and it felt really different being the audience.

Ok. There's lots to study now. Im starting to fear for prelims and As. There's no place for mistakes anymore. No more..if i suck at GP this time, there's always the next time. This is it!! Mug hard everyone. Jiayou!!

2007-07-08T23:46:00.001+08:00

i havent updated in more than a week!!

The last week was pretty bland. Went straight home after school everyday and slept. Anyway, got back chem results. Got E again..on the dot It's not good, but better than i expected. At least I stayed out of chem remedial. When mr tham announced the results by grades, i got pretty scared when i didnt hear my name by D. Not so much that i'll get E but more that i'll get S and U. Really trying hard to stay clear of those grades in JC. Anyway maths and geog marks may come back tomorrow. Hope for the best. But seriously what can i do now.

Im finally done with the personal profile thing for now. About 2 questions left that im still unclear of. But it shouldnt take too long tomorrow. After that, there's the 3 CCA achievements thing and dance nite logs evaluation all by tomorrow. Though it's important for our future and stuff, but i rather much prefer studying and doing tutorials than writing all these things. Ah liang just nice disagrees.

Anyway, went with hui to mug at esplanade library today. Had lunch at thai express before that and i must say that I think i've been too caught up with mugging that i've been pretty oblivious to umm...news. Did chem tutorial and then attempted to do the maths practise papers. But at the second AP GP question, i realised i cant remember anything anymore and i didnt have my notes. So i happily left at 4pm only after 3 hours.

Oh ya..cleared my table on saturday and got the monitor changed. I never knew my table had that much space. There's still a box of stuff left to arrange but i guess that'll have to wait till next weekend. My dad's pretty amazed at it. It's never been this clean since forever. Hopefully i'll be able to study at home now.

School again tomorrow. Maths paper first block tomorrow.Gd nite

2007-06-27T19:02:00.000+08:00

the cts ares not over and yet im rotting here in front of the comp doing nothing. Actually not nothing since im typing this. So CTs are screwed. Physics has yet to come. But looking at how things have gone and what im doing now...it'll be screwed anyway. Heard people say Mr Sze says it's easy. But Mr Sze says everything is easy. Maybe it's easy lah..if u study...ALOT. Im still asking myself wth im doing here now. Anyway..maths was a killer and uh..chem was an pandemic. To quote boyle after the chem paper, "IT'S ALL ABOUT U!" **Take awhile to think** HAHAHAH!! If im ever gonna get a U (or a few U's as a matter of fact) , let this be the first and last time. And it better be. The next exam is prelims. To think i've stayed clear of chem focus for so long and now i've lost. It's time to mug. Not only mug...but mug ALOT ALOT ALOT and do all the chem focus worksheets and maths revision papers all the way from last year.

ps: btw it's 4 months and 2 days to A level physics long paper..which I think is the first paper.

MUG HARD.

2007-06-22T23:31:00.001+08:00

Am i scared for CTS? YES!! It's pre-CT/exam frenzy time again. Few days ago i was still quite nonchalant about it, just study la, whatever. But now i really feel unprepared. People ask me how to do questions all i dunno. Some say they havent done this or that paper but i cant even find my revision papers wth. At least let me get CT1 grades..i hope. Back to mugging then.

2007-06-21T22:34:00.001+08:00

JUST GOT BACK SATS SCORE!!

=)))))))))))))

Much much better than the previous time=D

2007-06-21T00:21:00.000+08:00

im considering whether to go to sleep now anot coz my work productivity at night is about half that in school in the day. Just wasted time reading articles online about sleep and whether we're getting enough of it. It's pretty true actually.

Quotes from the article:

A sure sign you aren't getting enough shut-eye.
By PsychologyToday.com

" The problem isn't just that we are busy. Somewhere along the line we stopped valuing sleep. We have come to think of it as wasted time and we do our best to dispense with it."

"Sleep makes us feel guilty, as if by sleeping we are deliberately handing over to the next guy the opportunity to beat us at our own game."

" What I think our sleep guilt has to do with is that we no longer trust the wisdom of the body."

"So it is with sleep. We have been overriding body signals of sleepiness and wakefulness for so long now that we have grown to doubt their value to our needs, and to mistrust them. Instead we set our body clocks to oscillate between the twin poles of caffeine and sleeping pills. Our disobedience to the body's need for sleep typically starts in college—and continues thereafter."

somehow i dont foresee myself getting much sleep in the future.

Rite then...enough of wasting time and depriving myself of sleep. I MUST FINISH MATHS S1 NOW! Gd nite.

2007-06-11T22:22:00.000+08:00

IM BACK!!

and ya...back to reality at the same time.

No more eat, shop, sightsee, eat, shop, eat, shop, eat, sleep anymore.

Had loads of fun with mum in hk

and bought lots of stuff.

Scared of shopping already (if that's possible)

So that's good rite...coz i'll get rite down to 4 months of hardcore solid mugging.

Felt quite quilty at times during the trip

But it was a good break la.

I just need about 2 hours extra per day to make up for the lost time

Rite then. Shall get down to mugging now.

Finally started planning my study timetable

and it doesnt look very optimistic.

2007-06-07T07:40:00.000+08:00

IM OFF TO HONG KONG!!

cya in 5 days.

Gonna board in a twenty minutes or so so gotta make this quick. Anyway, the airport's probably the crowdest place in Singapore as of 7am. Happy mugging everyone.

2007-06-05T20:51:00.000+08:00

I got damn pissed at something when my parents came home just now. Didnt quarrel with them or anything but just came up to my room and started studying immediately after delaying for 2 hours. Ha...at least something good came out of it.

Anyway just came back from class chalet this afternoon. A little different but really fun nonetheless. Cme home, slept for 3 hours and then here im. Shall update bout chalet another time when i get the pics.

Back to geog-past climate change then.

2007-06-02T14:41:00.000+08:00

SATS IS OVER!!

once again

realized i didnt mention anything bout this SATS at all. Anyway, glad that it's over. Now it's down to serious mugging....after chalet and hk that is. Right...i feel weird to be home on a saturday afternoon. Nothing else to write. Happy hols!

2007-05-30T23:47:00.000+08:00

havent updated in a long time. The last week of school was eventful of sort. GP common test and plenty of match supports. I dont think i've ever been more proud to in RJ. 10 GOLDs or so in 2 days. Plus all the SYF honours.

Anyway, hols have started. At least officially. Been going to school the past few days to mug. Yesterday had the psc psychometric test in school which was really long. And as a matter of fact, i felt stupid after doing the test since i couldnt even finish any section. And today, i spent 8 hours in school mugging alone. YES! I am that no-lifer. But didnt do that much anyway. SATs really takes up alot of time. Only went on to other stuff at like 3 plus after 4 hours at it. Stayed in school till about 7 plus and met the ppl who came back from CCAL camp.

Next week dont think i'll be mugging at all. Class Chalet and HK. CANT WAIT!!! But my CTS will die!

Anyway here's something i saw on some shirt in chinatown..

Ultimate Singapore Survivor: Outchill, Outshop, Outeat!

On another note...i think im too quiet at times for my own good.

Rite then...go sleep liao. Gd nite

2007-05-20T00:10:00.000+08:00

im slacking away coz it feels like there's alot of time when i know that there's no time left.

make sense??

What i planned to do today (yesterday):

read through chem notes 17, 18a, 18b
read maths lecture notes S3
do maths tutorial s3
start on geog mindmap

What i actually managed to do:

read through chem notes 17,18a,18b

the plan sounds quite unrealistic. But i could have done so much more if i just did. But there's no time for regrets is there? BUT BUT BUT...

now...

What i plan to do today:

econs geog mindmap
read gp notes
hopefully start on SATs

maths shall just have to wait. Sorry miss koo!

I cant believe how behind i am.

2007-05-18T14:18:00.000+08:00

IT'S 220PM ON A WEEKDAY AND IM HOME!!

WOOOOAAAAHHHH!!

2007-05-17T20:43:00.000+08:00

suppose to be doing my physical geog essay now which is due TOMORROW!! Best..im the only one in class who hasnt done it i think. But i've been hanging around the comp doing almost nothing for the past 2 hours or so. So far...i've written my intro paragraph. Thanx jia'en for sending me ur research or i could be here researching till like tomorrow and still no essay. Yup...so reading the stuff now. Just that im abit slow at it. Like read abit, go see other stuff online, read abit more then go back to the comp. It's not a difficult question actually...see:

Using case studies from DCs and LDCs, assess the impacts of tropical cyclones in these countries.

Simple right, quite a standard question i think. But it will take quite a lot of motivation for me to actually start writing. And im still waiting till im damn damn guilty then i'll start.

Came home early today. Well sort of. Finished school at 220 but it was raining heavily. So went library and read abit of electrochem. Then by 4 the rain stopped so went home. But i've been rotting since 5 plus. Haha..what's new. Just knew i cant do work at home. Hehe...see how tomorrow. Maybe stay back to mug. But i want to see what my home is like at 2pm on a weekday. I never see before!

Right...im starting to feel guilty abit now. Back to essay.

2007-05-14T23:16:00.000+08:00

i forgot to say this yesterday...

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY MUMMY!!

today's my first day as a should i say..."retired dancer". Well at least for now. Everything's really over. SYF, H3 exam and finally dance nite. Remember i was quite apprehensive about this period of time earlier on, wondering if i could cope with everything. But now that it's over, Im relieved, yet hoping that time had stayed a little longer. I kept sighing whenever i saw my fellow dancers in school and i guessed many had the same sentiments as me. I dont exactly know what we're sighing about. But it's probably the state of lost-ness that we're in now and probably will be for quite awhile. From pracs 6-7 times a week, it's kinda weird when we see each other around nowadays and know that we wont be having dance later in the afternoon.Windy benches will probably get much dirtier until another dance performance comes up.

Otherwise, school was normal. Took my maths test after school, did abit of maths tutorial and then went to support hockey semi-finals. My first match support in my JC life. That should be worth remembering.

Anyway, yesterday was fun. Went out shopping with mum at orchard and it was really serious shopping. Never bought that much at one shot before. 2 pairs of jeans and 2 tops. At night, went to east coast Jumbo where my sister, her bf and I treated my mum to dinner!!

once again..

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

2007-05-13T22:42:00.000+08:00

it only dawned on me while walking to school yesterday that chinese dance will be officially over for me once we step off the stage that night. And that fact has really sunk in now that i've received the training schedule for next week from the j1 exco. No we dont need to go for pracs! Cant imagine what it'll be like to be able to go home early everyday.

I wasnt feeling that sad on friday night actually. Somehow i was in a pretty bad mood and didnt feel that sad that dance was going to end in less than 24 hours. The mood at dance night wasnt that great and footloose really felt like just another performance.

Even as saturday came, the fact didnt sink in yet. But just before dance night as we were all sitting down together warming up and talking, xinying said some stuff and a few people started tearing. We were immediately like "OH NO!! CANNOT CRY NOW...CRY LATER! LATER MAKE UP RUN! LOOK AWAY LOOK AWAY!! DONT CRY!" So soon we went on stage and the time just flew past. After zu2 meng4, ran back, quick change into feifei costume and down the j2s (with a few j1s) went to put up our last performance. CLIMAX COMING...Weiwei laoshi couldnt make it to saturday's performance initially. But during acknowledgement at finale, we were quicked surprised why xinying and ivy went up with flowers when her name was mentioned and suddenly we saw her on stage. Then immediately we started jumping and teared right there on stage. Guess it really meant that much to us that she saw the SYF item put up for the last time and for all the effort and guidance that she had given us for the past year. Before the curtain even finished closing we just ran to hug each other and mass-brawling session started. After that I walked up the stairs with some other dancers and suddenly realised...werent we suppose to stay on stage to meet or something. It's this feeling that u dont want to leave the stage. Coz i dunno when i'll get to perform again. I dunno if i showed it, but i really really enjoyed dancing up there with my fellow chinese dancers up there the last two nights.

I dont really know how to say it and I realised that im usually really quiet and dont say much insightful stuff during talking/reflection sessions with the dancers. But truthfully, i really enjoyed and cherish the time training and hanging out with all of u gals. It's amazing how a group of 16 people from different schools, different ccas, different degree of dance background can come together and click so well together. As in...so extremely well. I'll really miss all our trainings together, the mugging sessions and just simply talking crap with one another. I'll miss dancing. But i really miss working and hanging out with all the dancers alot more. Of course we'll still see each other in school. But it'll prob never be as often as before. During show and tell session in class, i didnt realise directly that what i mentioned about the fan showed the value of friendship that means so much to me. It's just right that 16 wooden pieces join our fans together. Dance night may be over and we'll all be down to mugging pretty soon. But the time spent together during the past year or so has really been great and made my JC life that much enjoyable. I've said this before. Dance pracs have been tough, but seeing u gals make pracs so much more bearable.

Im really proud to be dancer of ZU-MENG, a dancer of FEIFEI and most of all..

A RJ CHINESE DANCER!

2007-05-13T00:29:00.001+08:00

i have to say this now...

I LOVE THE CHINESE DANCERS!!

2007-05-11T23:43:00.000+08:00

FOOTLOOSE!

and so it's here already. After months of practise, countless blisters and plasters, many late nites and undone tutorials, dance nite 2007 is finally here!

Today was quite good. If u ignore the few small mistakes in each item, i think the chinese dancers did a great job today. The gan3 jue2 was damn good. Anyway, less than 24 hours and my dance life in jc will most prob be over. OMG..sound so sad. But we'll make it a nice ending ya. Last dance we perform tomorrow- FEIFEI! It'll be good! Jiayou everyone!

Go zu2 meng4!

Go Feifei!

2007-05-06T20:25:00.000+08:00

i've wasted the whole sunday afternoon away. Was doing physics-quantum II at macs but gave up after awhile coz it's really like reading greek. So came home, slacked off, watch abit of badminton, sleep then rot somemore. There's maths and gp test tomorrow. But im too lazy at the moment to go prepare for them. I dun really want next week to come. ANyway...i need contacts for cheap bouquets of flowers!!

edited: 9.16pm

so there's chem tutorial 18b
physics tutorial 18
GP essay outlines for test tomorrow

and what am i gonna do now??

CROSS-STITCH

i dunno what's wrong with me!!
I know stressing's no use.
Coz once i stress i cannot CANNOT do any work.
But it always happens once in awhile

!!!

2007-05-06T01:22:00.000+08:00

it's 1.23am so im probably gonna be damn random.
Like...
P(Yihui being random)
= 1-P(Yihui is not gonna be random)
=1-0.05
=0.95
See that's what u get after u do the binomial tutorial (like finally!!)
Now im not behind anymore...at least for now ya!

Anyway im suppose to go sleep now coz there's dance tomorrow at 845am!!
Rite...dance on sunday!
Reminiscence of pre-syf days.
By the same time next week,
i'll prob have no more chinese dance sessions =((

Anyway, like i said im suppose to go sleep.
But i just killed this cockroach in my toilet that recently always appears late at night at say 12 plus
and now it's body is still lying there
Plus there's this moth flying about .
So im waiting awhile...
see if the moth will fly away
or the cockcroach will move itself.
Haha...see what huihui wished me:

huihui. phish food! says:
lolz ok erm good luck then. hope the dead cockroach moves itself soon!

thanks!

Right...im gonna fall asleep soon. Enough of being random. Good nite!

2007-05-04T17:08:00.000+08:00

i havent updated in more than a week!!
Partly coz my days have been rather monotonous of late.
Go to school, do work, go for dance, come home, eat then sleep.
The weeks seem to really fly past.
Before we know it, it'll be As and then out of JC.
Actually i kinda wish JC was longer.

Reached home at 330 today.
Earliest ever this year on a school day.
Could have been earlier though if we ended at 1230.
But had extra maths lesson after school that dragged on till bout 2.
So in total we had 4 hours of tutorial today, 2 hours chem, 1 hour physics, 1 hour (plus) maths.
Speaking of physics.
I just knew i was gonna be called to go up and present some question on the board
Coz everytime i dun do..i'll surely be called or Mr Sze will check.
Then when i do the tutorial...we somehow wont go through.
Just knew it!
Tried to sleep just now but cannot
coz of the yuan-yang beng i drank in school just now.
So i never rest...and never do any work either. Best!!
Let's see what i have to (try and) chiong this weekend:

Chem tutorial 18a, 18b
Physics Quantum Physics tutorial
Maths Binomial tutorial and study for maths test.

See how...think i'll end up doing half of that.
At least i hope i'll do it.

Alrite...go sleep again.

2007-04-24T01:17:00.000+08:00

haha..im done with the notes already!! Seems like the dining 'room' is a good place to mug after all. Shall go sleep now =D

2007-04-23T23:35:00.000+08:00

101th post!

i've been emo-ing quite abit this year, straddling between happy-happy posts and not so happy ones. Feeling quite (alot) stressed bout the NUS H3 exam now. It's on wednesday and i only started on saturday. 10 sets of powerpoints isnt that little to study as i had earlier thought. 3 more sets to go through before i sleep tonight. Then tomorrow can just go through tutorial questions and the online forums. Seriously hope i can tahan manz. The past 2 days i just gave up near the end of some lecture notes coz i cant concentrate anymore.

Since im already ranting, i might as well continue. OMG..i really think my english sucks. Im starting to get all pessimistic again. Worrying about how im wasting time through GP lessons this whole year, how im gonna catch up with all the tutorials, what if i dun do well in the A levels (ie 4 As at least..dunno bout gp), what if i do badly in my H3 exam etc etc. Plus..i've suddenly thought about how i havent really had a period of time where there's like nothing to concentrate and worry for this year. As in...first, it was SATs..immediately after that there's all the tests and SPAs etc, then came syf so i put aside all my work. After 2 days of rest and trying to catch up with my tutorials, i've put aside all school work again and panicking and chionging for H3 exam. Then after that it'll be preparing for dance nite and once that's done, i can start worrying bout SATs again. By that time, one semester would be gone...and i can start preparing for common tests and A levels. Cant remember a time when i could really relax abit. But not that that's a bad thing right...im probably being emo-ish again. Plus i guess that's J2 life after all. Was complaining to my mum about it just now..and she was like..luckily u are not free/bored or something to that extent. Haha...guess that's true too. I dun like having nothing to do...but at this moment, i think there hasnt been any time for breaks at all so far...and i think i need one. Hehehehe..hopefully.. can go hk during june!! But then see right..once i get back it'll really be chionging for CT2. Sad.

On another note...HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAMES!! Haha..same day as shakespeare somemore.

Alright then...gtg back to H3 notes. 3 more sets to go!! If i concentrate and stay awake..hopefully can finish by 2/3 plus. But i havent been able to last that late for quite a long time already. To think last time sec 3 and 4 i could sleep at 3 and wake up at 6 for a few consecutive days. Alright..better go. Gd nite!

2007-04-22T21:02:00.000+08:00

It's my 100th post!!

Shall make it a happy one then =D

Im lazy to type out all the stuff about syf now coz my brain's crammed with all the h3 stuff.

So..picture time!!

Sunday Prac before Syf.

YES...SUNDAY!!

everyone so hardworking..so early...the dance studio not even open yet

ESTHER..sit-down partners...hehe

3/5 of "little kids"esther wanted me to take a pic of her flipping over dawn. Cool right. Imagine 12 pairs of people people doing that at the same time..COOL RIGHT =D

Before SYF (Tuesday Morning)

Haha..we were excused from school the whole day. So while everyone else were having civics, geog, GP, physics, chem etc we were dancing away in the hall..with AIRCON!! Had prac that morning which was much better than monday's. On monday a few people watched and lao shi asked them for comments. And after what they said, lao shi was like...RJ students expectations very high...very good...nobody gave a single good comment. Haha...mei2 you3 ren2 gei3 yi2 ju4 hao3 hua4. Anyway...after prac it was lunch, 3 hours of make-up, last minute run through of the dance again and then we were off!

syf is in 9 days!

But what i need now is not dance, but a break from dance. Some may argue in protest with what i just said, but i think some may also agree that we're getting really tired and burdened by dance now. Practises are like a routine ..like oh..there's dance again. Sian lah. The urge and should i say, passion to dance is somewhat disappearing already.

Im really thankful for this weekend break. I dunno if it's good or bad that the syf dance and "qi-da-da, ba-da-da" counting keeps reappearing in my head, when im stoning, or before i sleep. But i'd better enjoy the rest of today coz tomorrow's back to reality again. Im sorry if this may sound "wet-banketish" to any of the chinese dancers who read this. I guess we've worked so hard for so long. There's only this short period of time left. Cheng1 xia4 qu4 ba4!! Jiayou.

Im done with my nus assignment!!

467 words to cut before im done with my NUS assignment.
Die die i'll finish it tonight, or at most tomorrow morning coz im going out tomorrow evening with hui! Though it's just walk around abit, eat dinner, but then i really need it.

Just surfed the net and MIT seems to have a good urban planning program. But it seems so far away and unreachable. Like i cant imagine myself being there. Dont think my results will get me there and really, what's my chances of a scholarship? But i dun really want to stay in Singapore.

Okae..back to my assignment. Bye

NO DANCE TODAY!!

Think alot of us are really burn out already and really need this weekend break. The past week was really tiring. Had dance everyday. And once dance ended, reach home, eat dinner, surf net abit and then sleep. Repeat that routine 5 times. Good friday was basically spent in school as well. But im not the worse off. At least i slept quite alot these few days. Some of the others still gotta bother with admin stuff, dance nite stuff etc.

Anyway, i actually enjoyed staying at home the whole day today. Went for dental at orchard early this morning. I put my appointment early coz i tot had dance, but then dance got cancelled >_< Anyway, by the time i was done, the shops were all closed so just came home straight away. I miss the popiah at taka! Wanted to get it but it was still close. So, came home, slept for 3 hours then here i am. Trying to complete my NUS assignment today so i can sort of relax tomorrow.

Btw, CTs results arent bad for me actually, considering i only spent one week studying for them. ACBCA. Missed B for gp by 1 and a half marks and A for physics by 2 marks. But i couldnt and didnt really bother to find the extra marks. Oh yes...can people dont complain and whine when they get 90 over marks, like OMG wasted this and that. Many people including me have never and may never ever achieve that in RJ. So please...!! There's nothing really wrong with being unsatisfied and striving for perfection. But sometimes i think one really should be happy with what they've got esp if they're are good grades. And DONT complain in front of others that they're not satisfied, what wasted this, careless here etc especially if the rest didnt do too well. It's really irritating sometimes. If i was ever guilty of that im sorry. But then again..i've never gotten 90 plus!

Tomorrow's resting day again =))) Bye.

it's really odd how i can always think that there's no work to do, and then suddenly find out at the last minute that there's a long list of work left.

So here's the stuff i have to do by tonight, and i just realised it about 5 minutes ago:

maths tutorial (3 more questions)
chem spa skill d
read through geog notes and write some stuff down so mr lee wont scold
start on my nus assignment (at least find a site to research on).

Sad...but oh wellz.

Today went to jurong again to watch the national figure skating championships. Havent been there in months. Shall blog bout that another time. Anyway later came home and had this urge to bake. So made some chocolate chip cake bar thing...with help from betty crocker again.

Rite...maths awaits.
