a place where she always goes

Sunday, February 29, 2004

a lazy boring sunday afternoon. for once in dont know how long, im finally staying at home the whole day. partially because my mum commanded me to do so. or else i would prolly be out with kailyn somewhere out there in a certain place in singapore. yeah. havent been doing much except to eat, sleep, blog, icq and read. yeah. i havent been doing that at home for a long time. *yawn*

went out yesterday and had a great time. dint quite expect it to be that fun, but yeah. originally i was quite hesitant and apprehensive but i guess my worries were for nothing.. bought the emi fujita cd yesterday. almost bought the first one, but decided to buy the second one first, since i've heard it before and i might just like it better. and dont go watch mystic river with expectations of it being gory and muderous. read the book first and you'll find yourself comparing between the book and the movie. and the huge amount of details they left out. though the plot was quite thinly spreaded out, the acting was seriously good. well, it was a starstudded cast so what else do you expect? tim robbins and sean penn dont get nominated for the oscars for nothing. *grin*

it seems more or less confirmed that Alevels results coming out on wednesday and for once i dont quite feel anything. nervous yes. but i seem resigned to the fact that im not going to get fantastic results. i'll be satisfied if i can get 3As and an A for gp. i hope that would happen. yeah. the sky will fall if i get 4As and 1A1. haha.. but seriously la. looking at my prelim grades im pretty sure something like that would happen. yeah i guess. whatever.

it's pouring outside the window now. yet i dont feel the cold wind blowing. somehow, it feels real humid. going back to work tmr. alone. okay, rita will be around but somehow the feeling will be different. very different. yeah. no yanlian to entertain me, no kailyn for lunch. i hope i get to meet yuan for lunch tmr. and hopefully my lunchtime remains the same so that yuan doesnt have to come down so early. but i highly suspect it will be moved back to 12-1 since yanlian is not around and school ends at 1.30 so i'll have to be around at 1.30. if only they can get somebody in to work with me as soon as possible. and preferably somebody around my age la. i've seen the resumes sent in by seacare and goodness me, those people are old enough to be my mothers. aged 47-51. sheesh.

is it possible to miss somebody so much?

the minute yanlian left the office today, a sense of emptiness filled me. like, it finally sunk into me that she would not be coming into the office on monday. looked at the card she made me and the dark choc she gave me, i dint wanna eat it. just want it to remain there as a souvenir.

then alot of teachers were actually asking her why she wanted to leave. she said/stated "i want to go home and sleep." haha. nobody quite believed her. in fact, everybody thought she found another job when all she really wanted to do was really, to go home and sleep.

after she left, she forgot to take the envelope and the stuff she wanted to recycle. which really brought back memories. like how the two of us would try to recycle the waste paper in the office each day and stuff every single piece of paper into one big red plastic bag.

and mok was just mentioning to me yesterday i sure have a defensive friend. why? cos mok was asking me when results would come out for us. and he casually mentioned might be monday. so i kinda freaked. and yanlian saw. so she took my hp over and msged mok sth like "dont freak nana out anymore or else i'll bite you" which sent me rolling on the floor with laughter. of course not literally la. hee.

sighhh. will miss those days. and that funny innocent super-nice girl.

Thursday, February 26, 2004

havent blogged in say, almost five days? kinda a record yeah. heh. but nothing pretty much happened. except that tmr will be both kailyn and yanlian's last day. at school. working together with me. after that i'll be all alone again. just like the first week at work. i'll definitely not be used to it. i mean, i barely started work for only a week and yanlian joined me after that. kailyn came soon after as well. oops. i kinda forgot who came in after the other. but the point is, they both came along and i enjoyed working in the same school as them. well. kailyn did ask if i was sad on tuesday when it was first confirmed that she would leave for IMCB next monday, and i was like, yeah. sorta. but i knew she was leaving and all. but when the date coincided with when yanlian was leaving, i just got a li' more...

will miss yanlian. for her constant chattering and nonsense i had to "endure" with while we "twiddle our thumbs" when we had nothing to do.. for our irrational "fights" to write each other's names at the chop where the recieved stamp is. (prolly only yanlian will know what i'm talking about.. hee.) for out constant "kicking each other out of the office" when each of us refuse to go for lunch just to accompany each other longer.. for the many secrets we've shared throughout this two months and the many complaints and whinings she has endured from me. hee. i know what you're freaked at and i sure hope that doesnt continue. *grin*

will miss kailyn. for her constant gossiping and talking we've done over our lunches and the concern she has given me, be it in terms of everything. she's really one girl i can talk anything under the sun to. one of my bestest buddies around. a friend for 12 years and i guess, a friend for life. i think. im sure.

sigh. thankfully im moving up to the staff room in term 2. which prolly leaves me 2 weeks down at the office alone. with mdm june. phew. that is provided she comes back on the 8th march. sigh.

dont wanna get back results. dont know how shitified they can be. kinda brings back the memories when Olevels were released. and memories. of 1st three months.

Saturday, February 21, 2004

phew. i got here with much trouble. my parents took away the mouse to the computer because my sis was the only person left in the house at night when they went for my cousin's dinner and i went off for drama feste and to prevent my sis from playing with the comp, they took away the mouse, thinking that it would solve all worries. but hell no. my sis knows how to use the comp based on the keyboard so tataz. and obviously so do i (or else how would i be able to blog right now? *grin*). except one thing, i cant change my icq status to online and msgs are blinking but what the hell.

wow. today was really one hell of a hectic day. but i like. haha.. stepped out of the house at 6.45am and reached home on dot 11pm. not feeling tired yet but i think i'll conk out on the bed soon enough. yeah. stepped into the office at 7.20am and it was, as usual, quite a boring day at work. just that things were spiced up a little when mr subash told us his stories of being a fifa referee. SO COOL. yeah. and he showed up pictures of him on international matches and yanlian and i were like "he always stands in a certain position." *gringrin* and at the later part when we realised that he was from RI and he started telling us about how his principal used to brainwash them during assemblies and stuff like that. which caused me to leave the office 5 mins later and ended up making junhui wait.

so from bukit batok st 52, i flew down to redhill. reaching there 5 min later and ended up waiting a hell long time for bus 32. why do i always have to wait for a bloody 15min for the bus? *grr* sheesh. but me and junhui had a good chat la. i mean we havent caught up with one another for so long. yeah. though we dint have much to say.. i guess maybe it's the process of drifting apart? not many common issues to talk about now and sometimes i realise our conversations often laspe into silence. some kind of awkward silence. a li' uneasy and strange. but i think both of us changed alot during jc years. i think i changed. have i? i dont know.

anyway, after we reached bukit ho swee, i realised the big mac junhui bought for me was not required because sandra and people ordered pizza! hee. so i ate the pizza. nice and cheap. partly because i dint have to pay and it was canadian pizza. so it was nice la. we went through introduction again (although we were late..) and i realise that there was another sam/samuel. i think i know 4 samuels now. common name sia? *yawn* *starting to feel tired..* discussed pretty much the structure we wanted for WSG and the dates and all. after getting out all the dates, i realised im booked on all saturday afternoons all the way till 20/03/04. going out on 28/02, having social service camp on 06/03, meeting for wsg planning on 13/03 and wsg com serve on 20/03 so im fully booked on saturday afternoons for the next month. wow. better to keep me occupied than having nothing to do la. but i'm still free for dinner! *whee* the kids, as usual, were nice and cute and sweet. just that logan dint turn up. again. kinda miss that god-bro of mine. i know he's "famous" and all now.. and that he's busy filming for channel 5/central i think.. according to the people at bukit ho swee who claimed to have watched some of his programs which started airing since 28th jan.

yay! i got me mouse back. haha. oh and after com serve was DRAMAFESTE! something i've been looking forward to ever since i remembered to get the tix from jon. thanks jon! (if you're reading this. i promise i'll pay you for the tix when i see you next time..) and seriously the whole cast and crew of s3 did a superb job. i salute you guys. *grin* congrats on winning the best original script dearies. but honestly speaking, i dint expect you guys to win anything. just go all out and enjoy yourselves.. liked the arts one alot. austin powers was sooooo funny. he was a shoo in for the best actor la. hahaha. sijia liked the s6 play alot. i like it okay la, but the last part was sooo nice. so eerie. when alexis took out the chain and started singing softly to herself. goodness i was spooked la. and i bet most people were. grin. no wonder she got the best supporting actress. and the s3 one was funny and sweet at the same time. actually it is really very close to our hearts. like having a facade and stuff like that. i used to feel that way, having to change myself to suit the crowd back in sec3/4. but i reverted back to my normal self i think when i came to jc. more loud, boisterous, noisy playful and abit wild. i feel more normal, myself in hwa chong. as in the confidence level is still there, but i tend to "shou lian" abit more when i was in 403. not so playful and so easily excited. maybe because the crowd i hung around with was more.. quiet? poised? guai. yeah. and check out my jc class man. hahaha. but i guess my jc class people were more my type. though i must say i still found great friends in 403. yeah.

and i loved seeing my mei today. she was just so bouncy and cheerful and happy. yeah. gringrin. still dont understand why you're so happy. lalalala. hee.

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. the weekend is finally here. finally.

Wednesday, February 18, 2004

2 more days to the weekend. 2 more days to dramafeste judging night. and dont know how many more days to my impending doom. i hope it's more than 2 more weeks. haii.

and oh, im not free on the 28th now.

Monday, February 16, 2004

anybody free to go out with me on the 22nd, 28th or 29th feb? they are sunday, saturday and sunday respectively.. might be going for the NTU business and accounting thing on the 22nd and popping by jts after that.. but i wanna go watch mystic river and go shopping. i suddenly have an urge to shop. after buying a cardigan at dorothy perkins yesterday. i was soooo tempted to splurge my money. on things that i might not need. but the black cardigan is nice.... im trying to opccupy all my weekends so that i dont feel as though i have a lack of social life.. yeah. how boring my life is right now.. not for the past weekend though..

went back to jurong primary on saturday morning thanks to the impromtu suggestion from rita and kailyn and we almost couldnt walk around the school freely because the operation manager did not encourage outsiders to walk about. even when we were old girls. kailyn was just commenting, if they really wanted to confirm our identities, mine would be the easiest because my name is carved on the board outside his office on the top pupils list. argh sigh.

primary school life seems soo far away.

then to really confirm who we were, he had to drag mrs seah out and mrs seah couldnt recognise us until we said who we were. yeah i used to have shorted more wavy hair and i wasnt as tall. according to kailyn. and without my orange brown hair. hahaha.. but im glad that mrs seah still remembers out funny antics in class and who she used to like to matchmake people with. right. it used to be me and lawrence, the honey and sugar thing. goodness, kailyn still likes to use that to tease my sometimes nowadays.. eh that was 6 years ago, going into the 7th year this year? sheesh. but i gotta admit primary school memories are memorable.

we dint take a class photo in our last year, but i do have one of 5A with us at the eco garden. and with ms quek. and one clique photo of me rita kailyn linda yumin and eunice. rita said linda has changed for the better. and to think we remember her as the "bitch" who wrote in kailyn's and vernon's autograph books that "i'm single and available" and "vernon is mine, dont you dare snatch him.." or something to that effect. *grin* and kailyn was actually asking how come yumin was in our clique and we promptly concluded that because eunice was there. used to remember i was very close to eunice, maybe because we were in the same class for 3 whole years and we knew of each other's existence since primary 3 when we discovered the presence of each other in mr yap's art class and befriended each other.. our friendship started from art class and not in school. and that carried us all the way until we both ended art class in sec 3.. or was it sec 4? hm. knew kailyn since primary one, as the one who liked to pull my pleats/ponytails soooo much during every year's prize-giving ceremony. that habit of her started since primary one i think. and she claims that's something she remembers most clearly about. haha. while forgetting our primary 6 chinese teacher, xie lao shi. *grin* and im sure glad our friendship is still going very strong. right my dear? i can also remember that i knew kristy as well, together with kailyn but somehow as the years passed from primary 4 to primary 6, we slowly drifted apart. yeah such that we didnt quite talk to each other that much in primary six.

my class was a very weird class. we were very competitive. so competitive such that the minute ms gee gave us worksheets, we would start doing them and we would have a competition about who would finish the paper first. we would be fuming mad with ourselves if we had 98/99 for maths because the whole class would be getting 100s and very few would be getting 95-99. our maths were that strong all thanks to ms gee. she was a wonderful teacher indeed. she stepped into 6A on the very first day, saying that she had wanted to teach our class ever since when we were primary 4 students. she saw the potential in us and i must admit, we were a smart batch of people. we could play hard and churn out the results she wanted. maybe that's why she liked our class so much. remember when we used to have pe, captain's ball guys vs girls, she would always help the girls because the guys were simply too strong. pumping long balls all the way and making us run from one end of the court to the other. but we made up for our loss in height! all the girls were damn tall.. people like shari, me, kailyn, kristy, huijun.. we were taller than the guys in the class. *grin*

i can still remember when the class gave ms gee a "heart attack" when we did badly for our midyear in pri6. for once, i scored 359/400. my lowest of all times since primary 5. and ms gee had us going up to her table one by one , talking to us quietly and giving us the silent encouragement that we needed. i still dont understand why i under-performed but still that encouragement boosted my morale and i came fighting back to come out second after pofun, with her getting 376/400 and me getting 375/400. not quite my best but still, better than my midyear. i still dont understand how i got 381/400 for my primary5 midyear and ms quek was astounded. so was i. but i lost out to pofun twice when i was in pri4 and pri6 by being the second in the entire level. she took the first spot. honestly i knew my mother wasnt happy. cos she was used to me being first and all. but i cant help it if there's somebody greater than me right?

so this competition between me and pofun continued all the way right up to PSLE. i had no idea which camps were the class divided into but according to yanlian, what lixiang told her, the guys wanted me to come out tops. and so were the girls i knew.. seems quite mean but pofun was quite an outcast at that point of time. yeah i came out as the top student, but i missed ms gee's target of 280 by one point. she was asking me where that one point went to. and we missed her target of getting 20 4Astars by one as well. but she was pleased we could tell. and pofun lost out to me by one mark, and she cried. i think. crying for joy or crying because i beat her ultimately, i have no idea. but i would wish she was crying for joy instead.

come to think about it, my upper primary school years consist more of academic memories rather than playful ones. but i do remember clearly that five stones was our favourite pastime from pri4 all the way to pri6. and we would play it before assembly began, and during our recesses. and all of us got soo pro such that it would take a few rounds before one person stopped playing to give the chance to others. in a way it was competition as well, seeing who would become better at the game itself. sometimes all the girls would play together, sometimes in our separate cliques. and the guys would be playing catching on the field i think. dint take much notice of the guys. yeah.

we visited our primary six classroom that day and we were trying to remember where everybody was sitting. i used to sit beside kanxing and he complained i treated him like a drawing board, cos whenever he said something to "kajiao" me, i would use my colour pens and draw on his hands. haha. and we liked to tease keryi and kelvin who were sitting right infront of us.. and whenever we had to do projects, they turned around and we had a group of four...

i sure miss the good old days of being in primary school.. innocent naive.. carefree and heartwarming.

Sunday, February 15, 2004

whee. had a wonderful day today.. went out with mok for movie and dinner today, and it was really fun. watched cold mountain which was rather slow moving but it was quite touching towards the end i guess, and nicole kidman is sure one good actress. yeah and i got pressies from mok, but i dint get him anything. oops. a rose a card and a dreamcatcher necklace. which led the waiter at billy bombers to think that i was his gf, which led us to deny outright.. hahaha.. and i kinda feel guilty about making him spend a bomb on dinner since he said i was treating him to movie. oops. but thankew kor for such a wonderful day. whee.

Saturday, February 14, 2004

had a very meaningful night tonight. went for ruoling's church's youth fellowship dinner and service (is that what it's called?) tonight and im glad to say that i enjoyed every minute of it. maybe everything was new to me and it was pretty refreshing and all. the ideas the pastor introduced and i have to admit i didnt quite exactly agreed with everything he said, but to be able to find links between the bible and science is pretty amazing. i was just asking ruoling if i can borrow the bible from the library to read for pleasure and she was like "i dont think so.." the bible seems a pretty interesting read, but i wonder if it is not right to treat it as a text for pleasure reading. maybe not exactly pleasure reading but something i can read and think about it. is that considered pleasure reading? doesnt seem so but i cant seem to place it anywhere else. arhgh im babbling.

i must say i consider myself a freethinker and all, but my mum wouldnt like me to convert to christianity but i dont mind going to listen with an open mind. and including the fact that my mum dont get to know about where im going. yeah. but at the same time i dont think im one who is very religious. personally i see things and events as basis on logic and reasoning, with evidence and cause and effect, so i would see things being related and all. but at the same point in time i believe that everything is already originally in placed, just awaiting discovery by mankind. so where would that place me? sounds a little confusing and i think im getting confused as well. yeah. but i guess it is good for me to start out somewhere and see if that particular religion is suited for me. like i told ruoling, if i knew the malay language, i would have started reading the quran. oops. but i cant help it la. inqusitive mind and the love for languages. alamak. now i seriously wonder if such actions are appropriate. somebody enlighten me.

Wednesday, February 11, 2004

i seriously seriously miss being a student. whine. i'd rather do tons and tons of homework. my brain feels dead. very dead.

Saturday, February 07, 2004

listening to nicholas gunn's journey to yellowstone now.. very soothing and nice to chill out to. it can almost bring me back to the nature with the waterfall sounds and nice soothing melodies. he's a great musician, glad i bought his cd yesterday at causeway music junction. i had to admit, it was on the spur of the moment cos me and kailyn were in the store and his album was playing and we found it absolutely nice. goodness, track 3, seeking serenity is damn nice. the piano and all. wow. we heard another album as well, think it was by a jap jazz singer and her voice is damn powerful. very very nice. she resang hits using her own distinctive style and that was what mesmorised the both of us. so in the end we got albums that we didnt intend to when we stepped into the shop initially. almost wanted to buy the buble album, but decided to save up and get nora jones second album.

surprisingly i realised during the period of prelims, Alevels and the days after that, there was a transition in the music i listen to. i rely alot on new age and jazz to soothe me and keep me calm and serene. and i listen to alot of oldies as well now. in fact, i dont listen to perfect 10 at all now. ask me what's the latest hit in english music and i cannot give you an answer. my radio is either tuned to class 95, or ufm 1003. yeah and in my mp3 player, most songs are either jazz or gregorian chants. i like gregorian chants. it is just so.. calming? i spose it has a calming effect on me. and the nicholas gunn ablum is getting very very very nice. i cant wait to listen to kailyn's cd she bought. she bought david gates as well. according to her his lyrics are very soulful and meaningful.

which brings me to another point. i realise i dont read lyrics in the booklet whenever i get new cds. i only need the cd and that's it. maybe because i listen to the melodies first and that will be the key stuff that attract me. they can have nice lyrics and all but usually i cannot be bothered to take out the booklet to read. which is precisely why kailyn bought the jap jazz singer album because they had lyrics in there while i bought nicholas gunn which is solely instrumental.

surprisingly both of us had the similar transition in the music we listen to. is it happening to the rest as well? i dont know. i cant figure out why caused the change, but maybe bcause stress during the exam period caused me to seek new ventures in soothing my nerves and since listening to music is one of my hobbies, i chose to seek new areas of music. and since i was sooo interested in jazz after listening to it every saturday thanks to the ufm dj from 10-12, i decided to pick up jazz.. still learning and all but i guess what i download and listen to are the classics which are continuosly being resang by famed jazz singers like Nat King Cole, Diana Krall, Stacey Kent, Ella Fitzgerald etc.. some famous jazz songs so i think i should be getting some jazz cds to widen my scope of jazz music.. yeah. and as for new age, maybe i should move out of gregorian and listen to some other stuff? Music junction is a very good place for people like me. cos they really introduce good new age and jazz music. think they're trying to move and shift their focus on that kind of music. or so it seems to me. yep.

had such a great time with kailyn yesterday. went out for almost the whole day after work, eating lunch and dinner together and going handphone shopping and library together. yeah. she's really one very good friend that i can really rely on. a friend for 12 years, ongoing 13 and a friend for life. we shared our years gossiping and talking, sharing our innermost secrets and fun moments like that. think we got even closer in jc. and now that we're teaching in the same school, things get even better. she's currently one string that holds me down to sanity in the school. how i would wish she wont leave to do her research so soon.

met 2 couples at the library yesterday (can be considered 2 couples la yeah?) surprisingly. mixue, yijian and yy,gabriel. saw gab in his army hairstyle, somehow it dint shock me that much. he doesnt really look that different altogether, or maybe the somewhat bald hairstyle quite suits him i guess. and yijian with his mop of hair. haha. him and mixue seriously look very sweet and loving together. dint really talk to him that much lah, since mixue was with him. *laughs*

but yesterday was seriously a fun day. after not getting to watch the odd couple since there were no more seats left.

met mei at je central just now to get her handphone. actually im quite surprised that nokia 2100 sells for quite a high price, even the second hand ones. in fact, very surprised. i was counting on it fetching prices like $80-$100. and not more than $100. but it did. she finally got her phone for $120. i do wish whoever took her phone can return to her, so that she can sell it off and recoup some of her money though it wont be much. if my phone 6510 can only fetch a price of 150, i have this feeling that 2100 can only fetch for about $100? yeah. but that's better than nothing. and dear, the five bucks for you to top up for fare card, you can keep it. if you really wanna return me, i'm fine with it but you can return me million years later. if not, just consider it a small present from your jie k? *hugs*

just like what i read on mei's blog. the things in my old phone brings back memories, and i guess a tinge of sadness did come into the picture when i changed my phone to samsung X430 today. like all the sweet friendship sentences and honest opinions that i've gotten over 2003 and part of 2004.. and the funny lame jokes that wenhui likes to send me. all disappeared within the second when the guy took away my 6510 to give me my new phone. i'm all happy about getting a new phone but at the same time sad to lose all my messages just like that. *poof* hm. but i guess im satisfied with my phone and all. it's the newest and it just came out today. so yeah. and samsung is such a refreshing change from nokia.

Friday, February 06, 2004

ouch. guess what? i just went for a flu jab. since my mum complains that i kena flu easily so when i reached home today, she happily sent me down to the doc to take the flu jab. which costs $29 and hurts a deal. dont worry, i dint cry or anything like that. whee. haha, neither am i on a high as well so yeah. the needle wasnt painful, but the medicine was. as in, when the needle went in, it didnt hurt. but when the medicine went into the bloodstream it hurt alot more. and the doctor just had to emphasise on the point when he was injecting the medicine. how nice. but overall it was alright i guess. abit teeny weeny bit more painful than a mosquito bite. which we cant detect half the time. *grin*

im sposed to change my hp tmr. when i get my first pay! whee. mei ah, here comes your treat. name the place and we'll visit the place soon. some weekend when you're free yeah? *grin* just dont make me go broke. i earn barely $800 a month and im spending them on a new hp when i get my first pay. haha. but i need to change my hp. it likes to auto-shutdown. or it will auto-restart itself. how nice my handphone is to me. kailyn's father was just commenting that my hp doesnt like me that's why it is doing that to me. how funny. but i dont know which handphone to change to. i would like a samsung phone though. whee.

Wednesday, February 04, 2004

went for dinner with kailyn and her junior just now. who happens to be my junior as well. in a way i guess. primary school junior, weixiong. how far can we get? haha. he's changed and all, but everybody changes a great deal after primary school. like duh. im pretty sure i changed. weixiong reminds me of mok. zhuosong (surprisingly considering how short a time i know him). and a little bit of weiliang all rolled into one. nice person to talk to, and as usual, like all guys who hang around kailyn, highflyers. RJ band and track and field, plus 2 s papers. that guy is nuts. i still find it pretty amazing how my mum and his mum used to know each other and both our sisters knew each other as well. had a great time talking and chatting at swensens about primary school memories and we realised to our horror that kailyn forgot most of the stuff. *grin* and having a fun time teasing kailyn about everything under the sun, even which busstop to go home from. haha. maybe because kailyn was the main connection between me and weixiong, therefore we "ganged" up on her to bully her. which is usually the case when you dont know the third party that well. i mean kailyn tried to entertain us both before we got onto the safe topic of primary school. haha.

Sunday, February 01, 2004

gosh. so many things happened today i really dont know where to start from..
hm. let's start with STJ.. *whee*

Fish and Co

well, today's stj was damn fun. as in seriously fun.. maybe one thing was i got to meet mei again! *whee* real glad that we got to meet each other so much more often this year.. will remember to treat her someday before we both get our results and hopefully, somewhere near valentines day and after i get my pay next week. darn glad to have such a dear mei like her. (yes yes i know you're reading all these so feel happy about yourself.. you make me happy!) yeah, and it was nice to meet the juniors again.. people like wendy, pansy, yixin, weixiang etc.. although i only got to talk to wendy most but it kinda reminded me of the times last year when we were at swensens PS (which aint that far from the glass house too) and treating the juniors.. how benedict was "forced" to seat himself at a girls table with me sijia xiaobin ginny yibing and fiona.. of which all except fiona are no longer in 03s33. which is quite sad actually cos i realise i talk to xiaobin quite alot last year.. she's as close a junior as pansy and the rest.. i sure hope she yibing and ginny are doing fine right now.. yep. and now i'm wendy's mummy instead because both her and mei found it weird that i'm a jie to mei and daddy to wendy so they made me choose a gender.. since i'd rather stay jiejie to mei, naturally i had to exchange with my laopo to become her laopo instead now. am i getting confusing? i dont think so. luckily sijia doesnt mind being a guy. oops. hee. yeah and the guys went abit too high during stj la yeah? they kept crashing on each other ( i have absolutely no idea what the proper term is sposed to be) and the grandjuniors are a sure fun lot. lemme see how many names i can remember.. zhuosong weilin jiamin diana weisong joseph jonathan ruilin raymond (teehee.) uh and HUIRU! -duh- haha.. i guess that's not too bad right? i know there's a SHIT gang which S stands for sunflower, and i cant remember the rest.. sunflower very vividly because of roo's bag.. haha. quite comparable to my juniors' galata sia? *grin* had fun taking photos with mei, wendy and then the girls group photo and the whole big group photo which was taken from the second level. not forgetting the big plate of seafood platter for two that me and ruoling shared. we finished! but not before a small incident happened. it so happened that there was a bird within the compounds of the glass house and just when we left our seats to go take photos, the bird swooped past our platter, leaving us quite hesitant about finishing the original platter. so what we did was to take the platter to the personnel and they changed it for us, for the remains of the platter. *shudder* i shudder at the thought of finishing the original platter.. yeah. and we noticed a couple to our right. which brought me and ruoling to discuss about the cons of having a couple in the class. isolation and sorts. yeah. so happened that 7B was having their STJ there as well. and they were sooooooo quiet as compared to us. i mean, first you have weixiang and jon asking the whole class to "yamseng" twice and then do the hwa chong cheer for both classes right at the second storey. goodness. now the whole place knew we were frm hwa chong. how interesting. yeah and after that 30 of them went off for ktv. wonder how they were going to sing with 30 people in one room. haha. but we dint join them in the end.

Trip at PS

whoa. today's after fish and co trip to PS was a hell lot of worries and excitement. worries because of sijia and excitement because me ruoling and sijia went to watch the last samurai. which is damn good. but yeah before we went to watch the movie, 5 of us were just stoning and walking around PS, looking at stuff and gadgets. ah i want a new MMS phone, a new MD and a new mini hifi. which all belong to expensive category. im eyeing the samsung EX700 which is damn ex, but nice at the same time and i want the sony MD and the sony mini hifi that costs 499 and has a net MD link. oops. typical me. yeah and just when we were on the escalator on our way to B1 from B2, sijia took out her necklace and the pendant slipped from her necklace and right between the gaps of the two steps of the escalator into the bounds of nowhere. she freaked and we all gathered at the top of the B1 escalator, hoping that it was stuck between the grooves. no such luck. so ruoling went up to information counter and asked for help. help came along after a long time and after sijia got scolded by an Indian security guard for bugging the information counter personnel. but it cant be helped if she was freaked out there and then right? the lid at the top was lifted up and tada we got to see the mechanics of the escalator. which i hate to say, wasnt very impressive. we held up the human traffic and many people stopped to stare and looked. what the hell. i dont mind if you take a second glance and then walk away but to stand there and look for 10 whole minutes? i was like pissed off la, and yeah, nearly fa huo at them. sheesh. in the end we had to sift through some bags of dirt to see if her diamond pendant was in the pile of dirt. but still we couldnt find it in the end. and we missed the first 0.5 hr of the movie. but honestly. that dint matter to me. what was more important was finding her diamond pendant. it was a birthday present from her mum which costs a bomb as well and we sure werent going to leave her in the lurch and run off to watch the movie. no sane person would do something like that. i think. now i sure hope the PS contractors or whoever involved can find her pendant for her. i think it means alot to her. by the way, the dirt was damn oily. full of grease. urgh.
