went out today with my secondary school classmates. it's been some time since i saw them so there was quite a bit of catching up to do. ya...it was just like the good old days =) sometimes i just wish that we could stay in sch forever and not grow up. haha. wishful thinking. anyways....we watched Get Smart. it was a hilarious show! the whole cinema was roaring with laugther. haha...or maybe it was just me and my frens and the laughter was so loud i thought everyone was laughing. but yupp...comedies are nice.

on a side note...how does someone know the right thing to say or even to say something? it's not like there is some sort of guidebook or something. sometimes people get angry when u don't say anything ... and at other times...they get angry when u actually do say something but it is the wrong thing. haha...guess i will never know. oh wells....wont help if i do anyways...i always blurt the first thing that comes to mind. unless i don't feel like talking. haha.

2008-06-20T23:07:00.003+08:00

i don't really know what to say....
let's just be silent....
yea...
dots.

sometimes in life,

i look but i don't see,

i listen but i don't hear,

so i guess sometimes i miss out on many things but don't realise it,

or realise it too late and can't be sure if i rmb correctly.

yupp. what to do right...too blur occasionally.

so...wear super thick specs and hearing aids! hahaha...

2008-04-01T23:59:00.000+08:00

Happy April Fool's Day!

muahahaha....dots.

2008-03-02T03:09:00.002+08:00

it more or less seems like i blog every once a month. guess i am just too lazy to blog. sometimes when i am not on the com...there will be moments when i just start constructing sentences to blog. yet when i am online....the idea is gone. sighs.

anyways....can't believe it has been 3 months since school ended. times passes so fast. too fast. and here i was thinking that 6 months would be a long time. guess not. one thing that has been iritating me this few wks is that there have been so many rumours about the release of the a level results. they always say it is this wk...then if it doesn't come out, there will be speculations that it will come out the next week and so on. they should just confirm the date and tell us so we stop spreading rumours. then again...part of me doesn't want to get it back...

oh...did i mention that i am feeling old? haha...nowadays when i see students around...there will be the realisation that i am older...and sometimes i look back and wonder...what did i do with all those years? too bad we can't turn back time, but we can hopefully improve on the future. haha...like sleeping earlier so i don't look like a panda.

2008-01-30T23:11:00.000+08:00

the day looms nearer. the wait is long yet not long enough. nothing much that i can do except to wait. tick tick. why is it that no one knows when the results are coming out? maybe it is only me. they should at least give me sufficient warning to prepare myself. haha. i should just enjoy cny first and put the disgusting topic at the back of my mind. yup. argh. i miss sch...

2008-01-10T23:39:00.000+08:00

ooh...tired from work. it is such a hassle to travel all the way home from work. my old house location was so much easier. but oh well. when u gotta shift...u shift. yupp. work has been rather interesting...and not in a totally good way. it is a learning experience though, to work with the people and all, but i can't imagine myself working in the same line in the future. quite boring. haha. the days go by pretty fast...but when i think about it, i wished it went by faster. heh...so that i can switch jobs. -yawns-

2007-12-04T12:05:00.000+08:00

i wished...

i knew...

what to wish for...

lubb-dubb...

2007-11-25T12:05:00.000+08:00

haven't blogged for a long time man. A's ended on 22 nov and i went for a chalet immediately after that. just came back yesterday. i shall just briefly summarise the events that took place during the chalet.

22 nov:
last day of A's!! i was happy that it ended but somehow just not as excited as the rest of the ppl in the exam hall who were cheering. went home to pack after that and met xs for lunch at jp. ate macs. met edi later...and went to meet up with the class at the chalet ( island resort). haha...stayed at room or house F7. yuppps. then off we went out for dinner and stuff. ate pepper lunch (for dinner) at clark quay. haha. after that some went to mos while edi, xs and i went back to the chalet first. quite scary to be in the house with only 2 ppl at such a late hour. haha...and the neighbouring houses were vacant. but we got through the night playing cards and watching tv. hardly slept at all even though i tried. yea...and there ends the first day.

23 nov:
woke up at 7 and a few of us went to macs for breakfast nearby. rented bicycles after that before going back to the chalet. played bridge for a while then we set out to the beach to play. decided to go kayaking/canoeing later...i shared a kayak/canoe with edi. it was quite fun/tiring/a bit seasick. haha...but overall not bad. i still cant tell the difference between a kayak and a canoe. oh wells. tried to build a sand castle later....but it turned out weird. and short. haha. went to bk for lunch/dinner afterwards. haha...three meals of fast food in 2 days. so 'healthy'. but not much choice anyways.
went back to the chalet after that and i think we just slacked around for a while until the celebrations for charlie's bdae started. the celebrations were....funny...and quite fun to watch but from afar. haha. next we went for midnight cycling...cycled to the jetty. the jetty was quite a nice place to hang around. cool breeze and all....was just afraid someone's slipper might fall into the sea. heh. or even someone. thankfully nothing happened.
headed back to the chalet later where the card games continued. haha...but ppl started falling asleep one by one and soon only xs, charlie and i were awake. cant really play bridge with 3 ppl so xs and i went for a walk down the beach. haha...we walked for a while but i was getting tired heh....it was already about 645am...wanted to stay up but i figured that we should just take a short nap to get some enery back so we slept until about 8 plus. haha. yea. that about sums up the entire chalet.
even though i barely sleep and i looked like a panda....haha...it was all worthwhile. we need to have more chalets! haha. oh ya...i think i got sunburnt too...my face was really red for a while. but like i said...sunburnt and no sleep and all....i am glad we had the chalet.

2007-11-06T23:21:00.000+08:00

still in the middle of A's...

yupps. to summarise

" if i'm happy and i know it clap my hands..."

-silence-

hurhur.

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

today is the day i graduate from college... had a ceremony to mark the end. this is the first time i see the hall so crowded...i think today is one of the rare rare days that most ppl make it a point to come... the hall was so cramped. well...we started off with praise and worship, then with many speeches and prayers from teachers and students. but i think the main part was when the entire cohort were singing songs. it was probably the last occassion for us to sing the sch anthem and practically sing anything at all since in the uni we wont really sing much. thus...everyone sang their hearts out. haha...this is the day that students actually sang loud enough to be heard...other than the choir. it was really touching to hear everyone sing....standing on chairs and all :)
i cant believe 2 yrs have passed so fast. just as i have started to become accustomed to jc life...it ends. how tragic. i am going to miss my class. it was just a year ago when i was in the hall as a j1...watching the j2s being emo about the ceremony. now it is my turn. time really flies...or flew.

next we had contact time....where many of my classmates actually did come into contact with each other. yupp...shall not further elaborate. it was also a phototaking session. nice photos... yes...and we also had a sharing session cum reflections time where we were supposed to talk about our 2 yrs in jc. i sprouted a lot of things when it was my turn. -nightmare- it is just that sometimes i know what i want to say in my head...but it just always comes out wrongly. sighs. i need to create more neurons so that msgs can relay faster and more accurately.

we ended the day with a wonderful class lunch and neoprint taking. haha...lunch time really brought out all the laughter in everyone. the neoprints were lovely too. oh yes...i shall just add that we ate at fish n co. in all...today was great day and i am glad i went to sch. i wouldn't have missed it for anything. =)

2007-09-10T21:59:00.000+08:00

the first day of term 4 is here. school today was practically not school at all since i only had chapel the entire day and no lessons...other than around 15 mins of econs. it is a nice way to start a term since i am still in the holiday mood. haha. but there is already work to do...sighs.

anyways...i just felt that i should mention that i celebrated my birthday with tracy and sw, as i didnt mention tracy in my earlier post. yea...even though she only came for a short while, it was fun having her around and it made a difference. yupp. it's been a long time but i just thought i ought to thank her for coming although i am pretty sure she doesnt even know i have a blog. haha.

2007-08-24T21:24:00.000+08:00

i've been pondering a bit these few days. over random stuff. or not so random. i have no idea what to think. mind quite blank currently. hearing some ticking sound in the room. must be some insect. eww. rainy weather is not good. haha...too many insects tend to enter the house and flood the lights. gross. prelims isn't exactly over yet. i probably should be studying but can't focus now.

oh yes...there is a new sort of playground downstairs! haha...havent been to see it yet though. heard from my sister that it is more of a exercise area. but with SWINGS!! did i mention i love swings? yea. weird but true. =) i must find time to go downstairs one of these days.

2007-08-17T20:36:00.000+08:00

Yesteday is history

Tommorrow is mystery

Today is a gift

That's why it is called the present.

yupp...just read it somewhere. a commonly seen paragraph but appropriate. we cant turn back time nor predict the future (haha...other than my exam results...) so we should treasure the present.

2007-07-15T01:41:00.000+08:00

it's been more than a month since i last blogged. somehow blogging doesnt really interest me anymore. maybe i should try to get interested in it again. haha...but it has been so long that first...i forgot my username...then...my password. how excellent a memory i have.

was just randomly surfing the net just now. going here and there.....not sure what i was actually looking for. just bored i guess. eye itchy now. no idea why. this para is really random.

had chinese oral yesterday anyways...or the day before yesterday since it is already 1.45 am. i should be sleeping. anyways....oral was better than i expected...at least better than prelim oral, which was a total disaster. i think if laoshi were to give a pass, i would be more than thankful. thanks to those people to helped me with my oral practice, especially my class. thanks for the encouragements. =) haha.. quite funny to hear so many people trying to talk in chinese for a change. just half an hour before the oral exam, the class was engaged in chinese conversations! and there i was trying to absorb some last minute stuff. chinese quite class bonding actually. well...then the moment of oral finally came. luckily the examiners werent that fierce. at least i could continue the conversation even though i was sprouting nonesense. all's well that hopefully ends well. just pray that i will do better than last year!! ^^ now to just wait for listening to be over. baaa...

2007-05-15T21:50:00.000+08:00

whew...these two weeks have been rather busy with so many tests and my next test or exam tmr isn't helping. but all isn't that bad......celebrated my birthday a few days ago! X) haha. that is probably the best thing that has happened to me in the last month.

so i shall recount...
that day started out with heavy rain! what a nice way to start right. was late for sch but luckily so were a huge bunch of people and since it was raining, i wasn't booked ^^ then up i went to meet the class and the next thing i knew, there was a huge octopus and a giant PURPLE flower in my hands. HAHA. it was a gift from my classmates. =) very cute and cuddly....but embarrassing at the same time. (not that i am complaining) (the oct-toe-poos as pronounced by XS is currently sitting on my bed ya. haha.)

went through most of the lessons without really paying any attention. haha....my attention was mostly on the huge stuffed toy-cushy thing in front of me #) oh yes...i was actually surprised that the class bought me a cake!! cause we had it during our second break of the day. edi and i were in the canteen when she suddenly exclaimed after looking at her phone. haha..i thought it was her fren so i tagged behind her slowly....and....i reached the void deck and lo and behold....the class was there with a cake and singing the song. haha....cant rmb what expression i had on my face...hopefully it was a pleasant one. X) thanks for the cake SC8!

went to watch 'bridge to terabithia' after school. cant say i really liked the show though. but was glad to watch it with a good friend =)

sidenote: ate so much cake and ice cream that day. must exercise! haha. ^_^

2007-04-20T21:44:00.000+08:00

i thought that i should type something since i havent updated for such a long time. yupp....so here i am.

let's see....over the course of the week, i learned how to play 'taboo' the game. quite fun actually....especially when i played with my classmates. =D this is one of the very few interesting things that can actually happen in sch. haha.

another thing was that my class did gymnastics today. very painful i say. neck sprains and all....caused by lots of rolling around and headstands and wat not. quite giddy too. ^^

haha...that's all my brain can rmb for now. yupp. =)

2007-03-26T20:23:00.000+08:00

term exams are finally over....gonna get back the results soon. oh boyy. actually i have already gotten back maths. and i wouldn't say that it is good. yupp. but i expected it. just dont want to go for ssp. think that it is a waste of time.

watched 'stomp the yard' last thur. i would say that the show was okay but not particularly nice since i dunno how to appreciate dance stuff. wanna watch soo many other movies. sighs. doubt i will be able to watch everything.

had pe today. ran or half-ran 6 rounds. so sleepy after that. had difficulty keeping awake. fortunately i wasnt caught by any teacher. phew. lessons after pe are always dangerous...especially in econs class. -shiver-

zzZZZ

2007-03-09T21:25:00.000+08:00

march hols are here. why do they ever call it the hols? it is not that different from normal sch days since we still have to go back to sch and study. oh well....i can wake up later! X) yupp...one more week and it will be the term exams. good luck to all taking it.

today's the last day of swim pe. started out with 6 laps of warming-up. hoowww relaxinggg. then mrs tan decided that we shld do diving and since i was not supposed to do, i joined the beginner's instead. i am so glad at the change. beginner's was fun! did some swimming then we played captain's ball....in the pool obviously. haha...fun! was actually sad that it had to end.

gotta study for chem spa tmr! argh.

2007-03-02T17:11:00.000+08:00

weekend again. it has been raining cats and dogs the past few days and i have been caught in the rain every single time it rained. thankfully i brought my umbrella. well...the rain has made my cold worse. i think the tissue paper manufacturers or sellers are very happy to have me as a customer since i use so much. thanks to all who have spared me their tissue!

the past 2 weeks have been quite scary for my dog. she went for an operation on mon to remove some growth. it has been sent to the lab to see if it is some malignant growth. sighs. i hope there is nothing wrong and all will be fine.

i think i shall go rest for a while. yupp.

2007-02-23T20:38:00.000+08:00

the weekends are here again! i love weekends but they never last long enough. shall make full use of my friday. haha...slack a bit more than usual.
tata..

2007-02-22T20:20:00.000+08:00

the year of the pig is officially here. everywhere u will hear ppl saying chinese greeting with the chinese word of pig 'zhu' in the phrase. pigs are rather cute actually. especially the clean pink pigs. haha. too bad we will only see those clean pigs in movies like "charlotte's web".

even though it is the year of the pig, my relatives seem to be celebrating dogs instead. 2 families have added a puppy into the family! cute. =) dogs rule. everyone should be encouraged to get a dog! but make sure it is not on impulse.

super random post. yupp.

2007-02-19T16:47:00.000+08:00

happy lunar new year!! already halfway through the break. so fast. my relatives are at my house now. chatting and all while i sneak off to blog. haha....slightly bored cause not everyone is here yet so it is not as lively. i have been munching on a LOt of food. practicaly eating every hour. why are all the food so nice?!
gtg entertain my relatives. haha.

2007-02-07T20:47:00.000+08:00

had x-country today. didnt run cause i was down for first aid duty. heh. it was held at turf city instead of macritchie (is it correct spelling?). yea....and anyways i would have prefered it at macritchie. a nicer place to run and it is more shaded. the sun can do lots of harm to one. it did a LOT of harm to one particular guy. since i was posted at the base first aid station, i get to see a bit of action. this guy come back quite early in the run. he was like almost fainting. yupp. think it was too hot. the guy became slightly delirious. quite scary. i shall not go into the details. the rest were mostly just dehydrated. so not much of a problem. =) i am glad for the experience though.

had dinner with part of the class after that. ate sooo much. but it was nice.

2007-02-03T22:23:00.000+08:00

havent been blogging for some time already but i didnt realise it was that long. it is february already. seemed as though sch just started a while ago. let's see....friday was the last day of softball for pe. it was quite enjoyable. definitely better than mass pe. ^_^ yupp...good things just dont last. having swim pe next week. not sure if i should look forward to it.

anyways.....new blogskin (obviously....i hope) nice but i think it is tooo purple. at least the wrong shade of purple. still trying to change the colour...to no avail. somehow black or dark colours appeal to me more. yupp that is why i chose black for the background.

had bio spa today. didnt really study for it. not sure what i could study anyways. it wasnt as easy as i was told. wells...it is over! went out with sw after that. tried to look for cny clothes but unfortunately, i didnt find any. =( what do u wear for cny?!

2007-01-19T20:33:00.000+08:00

Your Observation Skills Get A C

You tend to notice the big things in life...
But the details aren't exactly your forte

How Observant Are You?

the above should be quite an accurate desciption of me i SUPPOSE....
i always tend to take notice of the wrong and unimportant things. might have missed out on a lot small details already. sometimes the small details are actually more important. but since they are small, it is quite easy to overlook them. i can't really help it....quite a blurblock. haha. on the other hand, i often take note of minor details for no apparent reason.yes...i am contradicting myself. sighs.
yupp (this is so random)

2007-01-12T23:43:00.000+08:00

it has been a long day. today didnt start out smoothly as i was late for class. fortunately, there were a whole bunch of people who were late too, due to the rain, thus we didnt get DC. it has been raining cats and dogs the entire day. makes me feel like sleeping. -yawns- today must be one of the rare days where my class would rather be in a non-airconditioned classroom. usually, the air-con is much sought after.
i am pretty thankful for the rain though, since we got to 'miss' pe, to the delight of a few of my classmates. ^_^ we had to sit though an hour of our pe teacher telling our about softball. sounds quite fascinating and would be an interesting game to play (provided that i hit the ball). haha. all good things do come to an end. mrs tan decided to give the class a mock nafa (if that is how u spell it) test and at that moment, a small shriek came from the class. i must say that our class is doing fairly well at incline pull-ups and chin-ups, considering that the holidays just ended. i was just thinking of what would happen if ur chin got stuck up there on the bar while doing chin-ups. -shiver- i shall not think of the consequences. i also wonder how come some people can do standing broad jump so well, where they jump much higher or longer than their height.
well....so much for not really liking pe, i have just written one paragraph about it. haha.

today was also the day of Interact's welcome tea. happy to see the room filled with jc1s. according to my fellow interact-or, there are more people signing up this year. interact sure is getting more popular. =)

left sch shortly after that....but maybe i should have stayed to watch 'click'
oh wells, shall go snooze. zzZZ

2007-01-07T22:19:00.000+08:00

the first week of sch has passed. i'm still not used to the timing yet. feeling sleepy ever so often. especially in econs class. haha. the teachers have been giving us tons of hmwk already. preparing us for exams i assume. eew. i expect it to get worse though... since the first week was j1 orientation, the teachers would not go full force yet. quite a number of ppl from my sch came over. unfortunately, i do not know them. some familiar faces however, since i have seen them around sec sch for a couple of years.

shall get to my work now. it's getting late.

2006-12-23T23:54:00.000+08:00

this week has been a busy one....getting ready for christmas and all. the christmas atmosphere seems to be everywhere, with all the lights and decorations, ppl pushing their way through the crowds looking for presents..etc. i've been to orchard 3 times this wk already...each time with the 'main' purpose of buying gifts. but somehow...we always end up doing something different. straying away from our goal. not that it is bad. just that i end up not getting the presents i need to buy. on the whole however, this week certainly has been enjoyable. =)

on another note, sch is going to start soon. one year has passed so fast. just in a blink of an eye. i can still remember the first day of jc life, where i had difficulty finding the sch. luckily i was with my secondary sch friend so it was not as nerve wrecking. in fact...i was pretty excited to go to a jc...it would be a totally different environment and i would be making new friends. the first day of sch was quite a mess, with students scattered everywhere, not knowing what to do...but it turned out alright in the end. i remember hearing pjc's sch anthem for the first time and i was very amazed at the catchy tune it had. it sounded like a song u would find on a cd or something. not very anthem-like...but i loved it! it was a very light song...a song that u won't be sick of (at least not anytime soon) ...since i've only heard it for 2+ mths. i also liked that sch uniform...particularly for the tie. i've never worn a tie in my entire life as part of my sch uniform and i thought it would be great to finally wear a tie. however, it seems that a tie and i don't go together. maybe i am a bit blur...because i went to ac after the 1st three mths thinking that i would be able to wear a tie. unfortunately, acjc ppl don't wear ties! =( the tie would have looked good as part of the uniform.

yupp...i think i should stop recounting. i started the above paragraph with the intention of saying only that i would be a senior next yr, and i ended up writing a different thing. time passes fast....one year older next yr! May everyone still feel young next yr! =)

2006-12-16T22:16:00.000+08:00

it has been a long time since i posted...so there is quite a fair bit to post about.

1. my china trip....to shandong
went there for nine days. cant really rmb what i did there already ( heh....excuse the bad memory). my tour guide was quite an interesting person. very tolerant guy i must say....since some certain few tour mates have extremely low EQ and say things that ppl cannot tolerate. but a tour guide must always keep his cool...and...he did.

speaking about irritating tour mates....there was this one lady...a teacher...who said something insulting...extremely insulting. this happened a few days into the tour. we were on this boat thingy....and halfway...she walked over and started to 'chat' with me. she was saying something like...." aiyo ah...my students are so naughty...i'm teaching one of the naughtier and 'not so smart' classes. these naughty students all end up in acjc...the smarter ones will go to hc. "
can u believe she actually said that in my face?! tsk....such ppl have a knack at making enemies. and she KNOWS that i am from ac. sighs.

well....on to happier stuff. omg...we were fed sooo much food everyday!! think i put on a few kg already. :'( yes....we have at least ten dishes EVERY MEAL! each table had ten ppl . and my table always had about half the food left. it was just toooo much to finish. another thing wld be an interesting thing to know for those who like to drink beer. they give us 2 bottles of beer for every lunch and dinner. and one bottle of coke. so since i don't drink beer....i drink coke every lunch and dinner. ooh...corroded stomach. yes....the beer there is much cheaper than coke.

now...sightseeing. mainly climbed a mountain and saw some confucious house, temple and stuff like that. the usual when u go to china. the mountain air was nice! but very cold. think it was around -7 degrees C. wore a total of 5 layers at one time. FAT!

one thing to complain about this trip was the little shopping time given to us. the tour guide seemed to like rushing ppl from place to place even though we had quite a fair bit of extra time. so i didn't manage to buy much. mostly food.

overall....the trip was fun...but it would have been better if it snowed. falling snow just seems to avoid me. it snows in one city...AFTER i leave for another city. -sigh-

2. handicraft day...with some kids at...erm...some place.

was all prepared to spend a days with a couple of kids doing handicraft...but it did not turn out as i expected. was a bit unlucky that day because i was to take charge of this group of 3 girls with my friend. the bad part was the kids. not the friend. haha. this 3 girls ...or rather...the oldest of the lot seem to be a big shot at that place. she was pretty unfriendly to us and quite violent as well. during the session...she actually kicked another boy. wow. somehow i think she has a nice side ...on the inside and only with her friends around. think her violence has something to do with her erm...growing years. quite sad.

3. today....the day of the christmas celebration at the cc.
i was supposed to help out at the games stall ...so i ended up at the puzzle booth. tried the puzzles myself and i would just say that those who picked the easier puzzle are better off. easier to win a big prize. hehe. i sat there timing ppl...and in a blink of an eye...a few hrs passed and it was almost time to pack up. i must say that today was fun! haha...and we were given goodie bags. :)
we had to help clean the fake 'snow' off the doors. haha...i actually kind of slightly enjoyed cleaning them.

that's about it...can't think any longer. shall end here.

2006-11-27T16:54:00.000+08:00

wheee! ended the last day of work on fri. so happie! was so glad when the time came for me to go off....but i took about half an hour to pack up. sighs...waste of time. finally get to relax and do what i want. with money. heh heh....get to go out and spend it. doubt i will miss working any time soon. X)

the end of nov is near. and i haven't even touched a single bit of homework!! oh nooo....i believe there is a fair amount of work to be done. :'( the feeling of being a j2 next yr hasn't really sank in yet. i feel old....-wobble wobble- ^_^

happy holidays to ALL!! ( hehe....a bit late i noe)

2006-11-19T21:18:00.000+08:00

been working for almost 2 wks already. my first job : an office job doing some stamping and amending stuff. not as simple as it sounds though. the ppl there are quite particular about the alignment of the stamps and all. haha...did so much stamping that i've got handaches. and they give us sooooo much work to do. it's our job but it's like stacks and stacks of papers waiting to be stamped and approved. seems to be never ending.
anyways....it's during office hours so i have been waking early everyday. -yawns- always looking forward to either the lunch hr or the wkends. yeah...and the office is made up of mainly engineers. but....most of them speak chinese!! so it is a bit hard to communicate with them. haha...either they speak weird english or i will be cracking my brain thinking of how to say what i want to say in chinese. but overall...i am getting used to it. not that bad once u get the hang of it.

today is the last day of pw!! had to wait for about 2 hrs watching the other 2 grps present before it was my grp's turn, as ours was the last. yupp... finally done with OP. it was okay i guess. just went on talking like some robot when it was my turn. at least that is what i think. not sure how i looked to the examiners. and the examiners asked such a weird qn! why me?! i was totally stumped so i just made up some random ans. hope it answers the qn.
hoho...happy and sad at the moment. happy because there is no more pw to do. sad also because there is no more pw. pw is quite fun actually. i would rather take pw as a subject then any other subjects. more relaxing....other than the rushing of documents that need to be submitted and the OP. had lots of fun and laughter with my grp!! =) haha...laughing over ridiculous things. we were the only group who were still laughing outside the OP exam room. heh...all the rest were pacing up and down trying to rmb their speech or something. will always remember our spinning and dancing 'figures' (the ppt one)!! so cute?!
thanks for the wonderful and InTeReStInG time!! hehe. ^_^

over the last two days of public holiday...my family has been meeting up with a few of my aunties and uncles. it seems like they have a fetish for long walks and i do mean LONG. at least from my point of view.
on sat...we went to changi. no idea which part though. went there for breakfast then took a 4.8 km walk!! omg...ppl dont even do that distance for pft. then again....i was walking. yupps. think my elders are fitter than me. -_-" walked in the hot sun and all i could think of was the cold drink at the end of the walk. that was like that only thing that kept my feet moving. the cold drink at the end wasn't that satisfying. it made me feel worse actually. after that...i thought that it was the end of it. BUT...noooo
today....went for another walk! think my relatives are not working already(some of them) and they have absolutely too much free time on their hands that they have to arrange such activities. today's walk was shorter. 4.2 km. this time it was at macritchie reservior. (hmmm...did i spell it correctly?)
why do i have to suffer for it?! u would think that i would lose some weight but it so does not work!
okaes...enough rambling. i shall end here.

ho ho....doubt any of my relatives will read this right??

2006-10-14T22:36:00.000+08:00

open house was held today! one year really passed so fast. it's like i visited the open house last year and now....i'm helping out. the layout this year is exactly the same as last year's. haha...thought they would have changed something. guess the tried and tested way is still the best? anyways...was supposed to be in sch at 10....but kind of woke up late (considering that i actually slept for about 15 hrs the night b4...i have no idea why i woke up late..unbelieveable right? yes...i noe. i am a piggy. 'oink') so reached sch only at 1015. luckily i didnt get scolded by the teacher. helped out first at the chinese booth. no idea why i did but i did anyways. sat there alone for 2 hrs. yupps. just looking at people walk by. seems no one was very interested in chinese. why would anyone be? think most of the people were crowding around the literature booth. wonder wats so interesting.

went to help out at the interact booth later. =) quite fun though. giving pencils and all....although i couldn't give much out since not many people came over. so mainly just sat there chatting with prathipa about random things...really random. haha. ^_^ oohh...i went over to the indian society booth later and did a henna painting thingy. amy did it for me. some flower sort of picture. so nicee. hope i dont get caught on mon or something.

2006-10-06T20:34:00.000+08:00

whoohoo!! promos are finally over! now is supposed to be celebrating or partying or watsoever time but somehow i am not in that mood yet. guess it is because i am sure i didnt do well for my promos. dont wanna retain!! =( it's my fault though....didnt put my best effort in studying....or much effort for that matter. well...too late for regrets...so i shall enjoy the break before our scripts come back.

now our school hours will focus mainly on pw and chinese!! eew....who wants to do chinese and pw everyday?!? the only nice part of it is that we will end school earlier....but still not early enough. at least mon and tue are hols (??) for me since i dont take any papers on those days. =) longgg weekendd!!

after all the 'thinking' i did the past week, my brain doesnt want to think anymore. so i shall stop here and go catch up on my tv and whatnot. :D

2006-09-24T14:46:00.000+08:00

dont u every feel that the wkends zoom by so fast all the time? it was just fri not long ago....but now....its sun. this week has been relatively okay.. although lessons still seem to take forever while breaks are never long enough and everyone just seems to go on and on about promos. please relax ppl!! ^_^

a few funny incidents happened this wk. on fri...i was going to the mrt station after sch with my fren to top up my ez-link card. we were lazy so we decided to take the bus. haha...and on the bus something hilarious happened. dont think i shld write this down. so if u wanna noe..ask me.

another one occured on sat. this happened to my friend. i was at the library with her that day. haha...somehow we started talking about esters. the chemistry one. yes...even though she doesnt take chem. yupp...and talking half way...she just happened to say 'so cool' (refering to the esters, cause they have a sweet smell) but it was so coincidental that at that point in time, two guys walked passed us. omgg...and they turned around to look at her. haha...think they thought that she was praising them but they just gave some weird look and walked off. hilarious right? (okay...when i type it down, it is not that funny already) but it was seriously embarrassing at that time. -_-''

speaking about coincidences, this wk i met two of my ex-classmates twice consecutively at two different locations over two days! think we were equally surprised to see each other ....twice. was glad to see them though. =) seems like a long time since i have met my ex-classmates. all busy with either their ccas or studies. well...after promos...there will be lots of time ^_^

kk...i shall end here. nth to blog already.

2006-09-16T20:22:00.000+08:00

almost one week has passed since i last blogged and yet it would still be about the same thing. i need to work harder! promos are soo near yet i am slacking so much. sighs. this week has been a tiring week but short week. tiring cause i have to stay back in sch from mon to wed...and on thur and fri we end sch quite late. everyday i would be so sleepy that i would practically fall asleep when i enter my room and sit on the bed.

had our gp mock paper on wed. omg...it lasted so long! we spent almost four hours in the badminton hall doing our paper and then they tell us that it is not counted!! kind of wasting our time right? it is supposed to help i get a feel of our exam conditions i suppose. but sighs...four hours is a long time.

went to the library today to study ....or at least try to study. haha...tried to do math...but i had to do every question at leasttt twice because either i kept making careless mistakes or i just didnt know how to do it. luckily there were people around to help. thanks ppl! glad u were there to help. yes...so i did a grand total of about 5 questions! wow...a lot right? i feel so accomplished!(btw...i am being sarcastic. some ppl just cant tell when i am so i will just outright say that i am) yupp...would have stayed longer in the library though...unfortunately had to go home for dinner so left the library earlier. sorry for 'abandoning' the rest yea.

2006-09-11T20:04:00.000+08:00

guess wat? there are only about 2 and a half wks left till promos. yes....that's an extremely short time left and time is still ticking away while i type this....but i still type it anyways.

i haven really started studying. tried flipping through my notes....to no avail cause i will always get distracted by something....anything. if i am at home then it is mainly the tv or food or my bed. the holidays werent very made use of as i slacked more than worked. it was an enjoyable holiday though. rightt....back to the studying part... SOMEONE PLEASE FORCE ME TO STUDY!!! haha...that's going to be quite hard though if u wanna try. editha has been kindly reminding and encouraging me to study but....as usual...i kinda ignored her advice. heh ^_^ sorry editha! ehh...i really need to buck up. a lot.

really short post...having mental block now. like this morning when our form teacher asked us to write some reflections thing. couldnt think of anything to write so just wrote some erm...things. she even said that she would reply our 'letters'. creepy...i wonder wat she will say. >_>

ttfn anyways.

2006-09-02T21:22:00.000+08:00

havent blogged for quite some time already. guess it's because i have nothing to blog about. yes....either nothing very interesting happens, nothing happens at all or it is just the same thing everyday. wake up...eat....sleep. a summarised day of my life. >_>

it's the holidays already. y-i-p-p-e-e-. by right...i should be rejoicing and celebrating now. unfortunately that isn't the case. at least not now. i feel as if i am just gonna waste my hols away...as usual...just dazing through each day. i have already dazed and day-dreamed through two and a half days of the hols. -sighs- must learn to make better use of my time.

on that note, since it is the hols, there is no sch. so i have the entire day to think. about nonesense. i noe i should put my time to better use....such as studying for promos. but i just cant concentrate...not that i can ever concentrate anyways.

geez....this post sounds so dead. i shall try to sound happier.

going to play bridge with my bunch of mg friends! yays! =) that's probably the only thing i look forward to now. yea...bridge...dont worry....it is not illegal. just for fun and to relax and take my mind of some stuff. can't wait! gonna have a fun day at my friend's house...ooh...relieving the old days in sec sch.

kaez...i shall end here and go drown myself in milk or something ( yes...not alcohol) haha...at least it is healthy.

2006-08-30T19:52:00.000+08:00

happy happy day!! =) one more day to the hols! cant wait! (although we still have to hand in our gp articles and promos are in 1 month) haha...tmr's teacher's day...wonder how the school will celebrate it?? oohh.....just realised that 3/4 of a years has passed already. that's a longg time!! gosh! doesnt seem that long right? time has passed so fast without me realising it. soon it would the end of the end and then onto A levels. yupp...heh...and we are getting older by the day. so we should cherish the time we have now and make full use of it. haha...like eating whatever u want.

whee....went to sakae today with sw =) had the buffet thing. haha...it was an impromtu thing but it was fun. ate sooo much! still bloated now and that is an understatement. heh...the moment we sat down we called the waiter and started pointing to a zillion things in the menu. haha....the waiter must have thought that two crazy ac girls just came in. we ate for about an hour plus till we could not longer stuff anything else into our mouths. 'burp' heh...happy and contented now. ^_^

oh yess....got back my mock chinese paper today. sighs...compo was soo badly done. probably the worst in class. -_- but wells...its a mock paper. yes. will buck up for the actual one.

2006-08-24T17:32:00.000+08:00

whew!! i can finally relax and catch up on my sleep. this entire week has been so busy. on mon, had to study for gp package test the next day. tue had to study for chem test although i kind of fell asleep in the middle of studying. wed had to do WR!! i actually spent around 4 hrs plus doing the WR. since around 7pm till i went to bed. yes...no other work was done. luckily my group is very cooperative. :)) all did our parts in time. yay! so glad we dont have any tests on thur and fri. i wished we had more hours in one day, like maybe 36 hrs?? ever sleep for 24 hrs before? i would like to try that someday...but that day would probably never come or come when i finish schooling or something. actually...i would just settle for 10 hrs of non-interupted peaceful sleep. yupps. that would be nice. ^_^ if we actually had 36 hrs in a day...school would probably also last longer, so it makes no difference.
oh yes...i was supposed to catch up on my sleep but here i am blogging. shall go off then. zzZZ

When You Believe (From Prince of Egypt)
Many nights we pray
With no proof anyone could hear
And our hearts a hopeful song
We barely understood
Now we are not afraid
Although we know there's much to fear
We were moving mountains long
Before we know we could

There can be miracles
When you believe
Though hope is frail
It's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles
You can achieve
When you believe
Somehow you will
You will when you believe

In this time of fear
When prayer so often proves in vain
Hope seems like the summer birds
Too swiftly flown away
And now I am standing here
My heart's so full I can't explain
Seeking faith and speaking words
I never thought I'd say

There can be miracles
When you believe (When you believe)
Though hope is frail It's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles
You can achieve (You can achieve)
When you believe
Somehow you will
You will when you believe
They don't always happen when you ask
And it's easy to give in to your fear
But when you're blinded by your pain
Can't see your way safe through the rain
Thought of a still resilient voice
Says love is very near
There can be miracles (miracles)
When you believe (When you believe)
Though hope is frail
It's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles
You can achieve (You can achieve)
When you believe
Somehow you will
You will when you believe
You will when you believe
You will when you believe
Just believe
You will when you believe

oohh..nice nice song! =))

below is the song that we sang for chapel. yes....haha...i know it is kind of late but i like the song!

Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt
Who am I, that the Bright and Morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart

Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You're

Chorus: I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours

Who Am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love and watch me rise again
Who Am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me I am Yours
Whom shall I fear Whom shall I fear
'Cause I am Yours
I am Yours

~who am i by Casting Crowns

yes....let's see...today...had math test.
it was disastrous! my ans for the first qn was soo short and i already didnt noe how to do part 2 of the first qn. and obviously that wasnt the only qn. on top of that, the teacher made it worse...she was supposed to show us the math formulas on the visualizer but it turned out that the ppl at the back couldnt see it SOoo she decided to write it on the board. but she didnt write down all the formulas and only at the last few mins when a student asked for a formula then did she flash it. sighss and one of the crucial formula was there.

yupp...onto the next big thing today...had CHINESE TEST!! omgg. it was terrible! i spent at least 15 mins looking at the compo qn before choosing a random one cause i didn't noe how to do any. =( yes...so i just wrote a few pages of rubbish and yupp, hoped for the best. oh...i chose qn 2 btw..the one about a story of a 'lao ren'. then came paper two....not better than the first. haha...there were so many foreign words that i cldnt read so i had to randomly choose some ans to fill in. yess...i noe...how smaarrttt. okay i shall forget abt the chinese paper after adding in the last part. supposedly it is either 40% of our CA or 5% of our promos. either way, it does no good to my chinese marks. ohh....and the teachers actually kept us back for arnd twenty mins counting our papers. i mean who takes 20 mins to count papers?!?!

aye....i shall end now. =)

2006-08-14T21:04:00.000+08:00

today was a slowww day. had pe early in the morning...where we went to the gym to exercise. tried out a couple of machines for approx an hour. at the end of it, i was practically dragging myself around. not good as i was soo sleepy but the day was still early and there were still many lessons. =( was in a dazed mood the entire day...couldn't wait for school to end. sorry if i seemed too blur or not saying anything. haha....math lecture was funny. actually it was the end of the lecture that was funny, cause everyone sort of cheered when the bell rang. a sound of relief. heh...feel kind of sorry towards our lecturer, having to hear those 'cheers'. yupps...well..cant help it so =)
good luck to those taking bio spa anyways!

2006-08-12T00:04:00.000+08:00

today was quite a short day as we ended at 310...but it felt like an eternity! couldn't wait for lessons to be over. however, still had to stay back for cca so i did sommeeee work in the library before that. went with editha to the planetshakers 'concert' later. we were late by at least twenty minutes but so were a lot of people so it was alright. it was quite fun and entertainging but the music was sooo LOUD! haha...thought i would have gone deaf. it lasted for only one and a half hours and then we went to kfc to have supper. :) they were closing already and i wanted to order the zinger burger but....some person 'stole' my burger so in the end i had cheese fries. oooh..so bloated! yes yes...thank you editha for going with me :)

Reflection

Look at me
You may think you see
Who I really am
But you'll never know me
Every day
It's as if I play a part
Now I see
If I wear a mask
I can fool the world
But I cannot fool my heart

Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me?
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?

I am now
In a world where I
Have to hide my heart
And what I believe in
But somehow
I will show the world
What's inside my heart
And be loved for who I am

Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me?
Why is my reflection
Someone I don't know?
Must I pretend that I'm
Someone else for all time?
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?

There's a heart that must be
Free to fly
That burns with a need to know
The reason why

Why must we all conceal
What we think, how we feel?
Must there be a secret me
I'm forced to hide?
I won't pretend that I'm
Someone else for all time
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?

Ruiqi, you take the most risks when it comes to Tempting Your Taste Buds

Diets be darned! You're not the type to restrict your options when it comes to food. Maybe you've got a sweet tooth. Perhaps you're a snacker. Or maybe you just enjoy trying out different cuisines and testing your taste buds' limits. Whatever it is that gets your mouth watering, you're not one to count calories or obsess over the extra helping you just took.Whether your weakness is chocolate cake, pepperoni pizza, or cuisines from other cultures, you don't deprive yourself a little indulgence here and there. Nor should you. But you should keep an eye on your health. It's OK to indulge a little every now again, but make sure you're eating your fruits and veggies, as well as your taste buds' favorite treats. Bon appetit!

2006-08-10T16:14:00.000+08:00

oh nooo....there's sch tmr. better start doing someeee work. hehe. i hope.
