a place where she always goes

Tuesday, November 30, 2004

i have been thinking quite abit about todays blog entry. dont ask me why.
it started out as a train of thoughts when i was trying to look for my tutee's house [ex student actually].
i was thinking about holidays specifically.

my primary school holidays were spent at home, watching tv, reading books. there werent any internet or computer games as i only got my first computer when i entered sec sch officially. occasionally my parents would bring me and my sis out to "gai gai" at places like clarke quay, shopping malls, and we'll just spend the entire day there. walking around. dint go out with my friends cos we dint seem to see the need to! haha. maybe cos we were all once young and naive. dint knew the enjoyment of hanging out with friends and watching movies too. in fact the only time i spent with my pri school classmates was when the 6A girls decided to go watch a movie after our PSLE results were released. think all of us were quite hyped up cos we did wonderfully well. hehe. me included [kk i better stop being so self ego. muahahaha.] but we dint watch an ordinary movie. we went to omnimax theatre and watched the roller coaster documentary. which was quite cool. and for primary school students, the price of the tix is cheaper than a normal movie tix. hey but we aint nerds i tell ya. grin. kailyn, rita, think of the wonderful primary school memories we had. ooh and the times we spent at rita's place doing project! :)
those were my primary school hols.

secondary school was totally different from primary school.
i was in a different place, totally different environment as compared to primary school.
i daresay i was damn slack in pri sch as compared to sec sch. my CCAs in pri sch were almost insignficant. chinese dance till p4 [yes laugh your head off, xinxin :X ] and then maths club i think. or was it computer club. ahh cant remember. but sth along those lines.
then in sec sch, i plunged into red cross. just because my mum insisted, cos her friend's daughter was in it as well and she was one year older than us. kailyn, remember weizhen? grin. red cross took up most of my time during lower sec holidays. i truly enjoyed myself when i was in sec one, naive and innocent [yes really]. until the politics of performing better than so-and-so and doing the courses screwed up my impression of the seniors and redcross entirely. i chose to leave. i left at the end of sec 2. of course, i dint exit abruptly, i just faded away. into the backgrounds, from a chao enthu kia to a slacker. and finally a wall flower. and then i disappeared. but my sec 2 end of year holidays was the most memorable one out of all my sec sch hols.
partially because of the memorable chalet we had at the end of sec 2 [yahui, do you still remember? and the stupid antic ling did with the sji people ;) ], and of course, PSL camp :)
after that, my hols were swallowed by PSB activities. during school time, i had house treasury stuff, mass dance, cybermatrix stuff [only when we were rushing the projects] and PSB stuff. loved going for PSB activities. and then in sec 4, chose to stay on as an SPSL. even more activities then. organising PSL camp, PSL convention, PSL carnival. boy was sec 4 a busy life. and yet. i think i dint quite study that much. but enough to get me to the jc i wanted to be in. of course, hcjc. [lets ignore the fact that i had actually wanted to go rj for a period of time. blame fishball and joycet. muahaha. :) ]
sec sch hols was sch activities, sch activities and MORE sch activities.
i dont think that applied to rgs alone. think it applies to everybody.
but i really really really love rg, enjoyed rg.
it seemed like the only period of time when i could balance both studies and sch activities and play.
it made me who i am today, and yea, im proud to be a rafflesian.
think the rafflesian trait stays with us, no matter where we go to after sec sch.
such that you can actually tell a rafflesian when you see one.
am i right, or wrong?
im more inclined to think im right.
unless you step into medicine. where 85% of the people there were once a rafflesian. be in rg, ri or rjc.
kk off tangent le.

jc hols were similar to sec sch.
cept for the fact that i thought i finally made the effort to study during the holidays.
2 years is too short a span of time to cram the entire Alevel syllabus [and i pity the bio students even more] and holidays was definitely not a time to play. it was interact/study/interact/study/interact/study. oh and there was dramafeste in j2. but aside from that, i remember it was only CCA, mug. i dint have to catch up with friends much except for shu and kailyn cos they were both at rj. all the rest, were in hcjc with me. wanyu, fishball, joycez, joycet, junhui, ling. everybody.

now for uni hols.
rightfully i should be working.
but the dec hols seem too short for me to work [yea listen to me, excuses excuses.. hahaha]
besides, i have income coming in. just that it aint exactly alot. my tuition money la. but i dont really care about money right now. all i know is, when i have money, i spend it on tech products. it was a digital cammie, now i got myself a mp3 player. PLUS the fact that i wont satisfy myself with the cheaper ones too. i do my research, find the really good quality ones, and they are all ex. there goes my money.
ANYWAY.
i see uni hols as a time to catch up with old friends. friends who are no longer right beside me 24/7. friends who are stuck in camp. friends who are still stuck in the education system [actually aint i too?].
maybe because im the only one in SMU. maybe xinxin might not wanna see venus since they see each other almost everyday, and whats so nice about xinxin anyway. *grin* kidding ah. you promised to teach me to ride. i still need to brush up on my skills. plus everybody is everywhere now.
of course i wanna see them, talk to them and catch up with them.
to me friendship is an important thing and i cant imagine myself without these wonderful friends i have.
yeaps. so i'll leave my dec hols for my friends.
and then maybe i might find myself a job during summer. next year. before or after the UK trip. [er yy and joycet, i havent started saving yet. *whine* ] or maybe, i might go sign up and be a faci for orientation camp next year [elaine! wanna be a faci? or anyone reading me blog, wanna be faci together? ] hem. maybe i shouldnt make too far ahead plans.
maybe i might see uni hols in a different light after i grad. but so far thats the image i have.
for me to recharge, rest, meet up with old friends. and get ready for a new term ahead.

WATCH SINGAPORE IDOL TONIGHT!
AND SMS 1 TO 43657 FROM 9PM TO 10PM.
VOTE FOR TAUFIK!

yesyes i know im madd. but what can you do to me? grin.

boy oh boy.
check out the malaysian idol competition.
http://www.kreees.com/idol/Shows
think Singapore, like in soccer, similarly for singing, we are wayyyyyyyyy behind.

their second can easily cross the causeway and kick all 11 asses. yea including taufik's.
they are just too damn good.
can we VOTE FOR TAUFIK because you really dont wanna put sly up there.
we'll need to dig a hole into Earth and disappear from the face of this planet.
putting taufik there, will at least show that singapore has that bit of talent. no matter how minute as compared across the causeway.

whee.
i battled a bicycle today and i won.
but i still cannot ride straight. all thanks to my stiff hands that gripped the bars tightly.
but i finally learnt how to ride! whee. boing.
grin. me my sis and my cuzzie learnt how to ride today and we had sooo much fun :)

then we went to sakura tampines to eat buffet and it was damn good (:
hey jason, the service was not bad mah. and there werent alot of people.
think you were just suay. muahaha.
feeling a little evil today :)

so bloated that we all skipped dinner. the food from buffet is enough to suffice to daylight tmr.
grin. and i spent the rest of my day reading jack du brul's "deep fire rising" which is damn good coincidentally. very geological and informative. talks about the earth's tectonic movements [ahh my fave geog topic] at the same time thrilling.
realising im more attracted to books which authors have done in depth research on, instead of just mere thrillers. im moving away from just thrillers alone. heh.
tmr i have my first driving lesson :) and then i have tuition. and then dental appointment. and then appointment with singapore idol. ooooh im gonna vote for taufik.
VOTE FOR TAUFIK!
whee. and then i made a date with kailyn on thurs, and yy, dempsey saturday? im quite fine with that but i still end tuition at 6. grin.

Monday, November 29, 2004

somebody has got to stop me from going to starhub's official singapore idol website and let me swoon at taufik's videos EVERYDAY. the three videos from the spectaculars top 3 is out, with my personal favourite "aint no sunshine" and i keep watching and rewatching them again and again. cant help it la. hee. :)
he's just so perfect and wonderful.
ooh and ken said at the end of taufik's september song, that he "has to get votes from all races and all age groups". i believe by now, taufik has won everybody over with his hard work, determination and talent. no matter what race and age group you come from. he HAS transcended the boundaries. :)

mr taufik batisah, no matter what happens on wed [CHOY!], you're already my singapore idol. :)
moi fave ever since i saw his performance during the piano show when he sang "my girl".
a true taufik supporter ever since the start of the competition.
cant help it if he reminds me a little of george huff la yea. grin.
in fact the resemblance is so striking, george huff sang "me and mrs jones" in the american idol soul & r&b cd last year, taufik is gonna sing "me and mrs jones" chosen by the judges during the finals!!! ahhhhhhhhh.
i cant help myself.
i cant wait for singapore idol.

the sky's overcast. full of dark grey clouds.
was supposed to be out watching incredibles, but something cropped up for mei this morning. sorry dearie. hope everything goes well kk? we can meet up again after that and i can treat you to prince again, no worries kk? take care dearie.

so for the entire week i'll be more or less at home.
cept for tmr when my parents bring us and my cousins to east coast park to LEARN how to cycle. then we will go eat sakura at either toa payoh or tampines. depending on which one my dad knows how to get to from ECP. hee.
then wed i start my driving lessons officially, then i go for 1 hour tuition, then i have my dental appointment. check my wisdom tooth [or not so wise after all]. then pray hard that i won spore idol tix and i could be on my way down to indoor stadium for spore idol. if not, settle down and get ready for the spore fight for 2004. the battle between the crooner and the rocker. muahahaha.
so far. so far. no plans for thurs and friday i think. so far.
if my memory doesnt fail me.
if i have made a date with anyone of you for friday or thursday, msg me will ya?
mmm. i wonder.
then saturday i have tuition again, and see when we're going dempsey.

i should start reading up on singapore map as a whole and the places of interest? i dont know what to concentrate on. and start exercising, to build up my stamina. cos jinyang could get permission to go for amazing race with his friend so we have a team of four! and the preparations begin. muahaha. wonderful news to my ears. grin.

i want a computer game to play. i think i more or less finished my twin heroes 3 le. :(
i want a chinese wuxia game to playyyyy. remind me to return xinxin her chinese computer game! hee.
im starting to think im getting boredddd at home.

Saturday, November 27, 2004

ahhhhh im joining the amazing race!!
with ruoling jinyang and his friend. provided jinyang gets a long weekend. *crosses fingers and hopes hard*
ahhhhh. if not, me and ruoling intend to get people to join us. we need at least one guy.
date: 291204 6pm to almost 010105.
any interested people, msg me :)

check out the details at www.sac.org/race :)

i will visit the dentist next week. have a suspiscion that one of my wisdom tooth is coming out. top right wisdom tooth. acks. its presence can be felt, but it is not hurting. yet. blearh. i will visit my dentist next week.

oh sigh, i really want the singapore idol tix. wonder when i would know if i got it or not.
by the way, lemme do some promoting. budak pantai is performing at bluemoo @ 17 dec. anybody interested to go? grin. elaine, jialing? wanna go? :) ooh and the cd can be bought there :) the one we missed out on during the concert. hee.

suddenly i feel as though i have nothing to do.
im online now on msn but i aint talking to any one. mm. not really in the mood to talk to anyone la. gonna visit the library at jurong east tmr. exhausted my dan brown books [da vinci code and angels and demons] during the exam period. erm i read them to destress. currently reading harry potter and the order of the phoenix. started last night, about to finish it soon. prolly later i suppose. i want more books to read. think i might intend to spend one afternoon there, curled up in one of the big red nice cushions and read :) might fall asleep. dont think so la. should start on my movies yea. and there's evolution tmr night. the movie i missed watching when i was in sec 3 i think. or sec 4? cant remember. but i remember the movie for the smiley face.

im back to playing neopets. when the boredom gets to you. goodness its been only slightly more than a day and im bored. wahaha. aside from the fact that i stepped out of the house for tuition just now.
speaking of which, my dearest chunhow and rachelle, if you guys are reading this, when are we starting tuition? msg or call me okay? my handphone number remains the same.
in fact my handphone number remains the same since j1. and i havent changed it since then. and i dont foresee myself changing it in the near future. partially because i've been bonded to singtel due to me constantly upgrading the phones and signing extensions of two year contracts. but that is about to change. hee. come 311204, i will be contract free :) and i can take my time in finding the nice new phone i wanna change to. yes i wanna change phone AGAIN, and im eyeing the nokia 6670 in fact. however im currently dead broke [after splurging on my zen touch hee] hence i shall wait for pay to come in. which isnt so soon by the way. grin.

i wanna do quite abit of stuff. but there's definitely one thing i wanna do this hols.
do the kampong trail again. either that or one of the other more challenging trails up bukit timah hill.
xinxin, ruoling! there's the treetop trail at macritchie which just opened. it sounds fun, a 250m suspension bridge across the canopy of macritchie, wanna try? :) and tan lixin, mosquitoes doesnt like me blood hence they can take yours instead. or we can feed monstar and ff bear to the mosquitoes instead.
im itching to go out and walk. and walk. and breathe in the fresh air.
i wanna do different things.
cant wait for fishball to finish her exams, then us three can head to demphsey. :) yy, HURRY! grin.
cant wait to meet up with everybody from nus and ntu. :) chill and have fun :)
[while xinxin volunteered to teach me how to cycle by rushing me, i hope i dont injure anybody in the process. hee.]
cant wait for SINGAPORE IDOL!
cant wait for mahjong sessions *grin*
cant wait for everything!

tim toh left singapore this morning. msged me at 1plus AM and woke me up. cos my X430 keeps ringing until i read my msg. he left for thailand. blearh. just when i finish my exams. :( hopes he saw my msg and bring something back for me! muahaha. :)

secondly. EXAMS ARE OVER. WITH THE CAPITAL O.
heh. the feeling of ending exams is so super shuang. i feel so rejuvenated already. there are so many things i wanna do. so many things i should be doing. its the holidays man :) whee. but on the other hand, i kinda didnt want school to end. i'll miss the new friends that i've found. those who had made smu a much nicer place for me.
how ironic isnt it. that i used to hate smu alot at the beginning, and now i'll miss it during the hols. oh wells.
to elaine [and whoever in the FA group might be reading, tag me!]mahjong? movie marathon? anything! muahaha. :)

i wanna do so many things, i wanna buy so many things. i cant help myself.

msged my med closest friends and they are all having exams next week.
good luck girls, and we can playyy after that. grins.

met gabriel today for lunch and walked walked around PS. got a treat from him! heh. more like he offered the treat. thanks! :) had a nice time just sitting there, eating and talking. talking about anything everything. yea. it would have been better if fishball was around. awww. grin. met plenty of people today! met siying at PS initially, then dawn when we were going back to PS after having lunch at fish and co, and saw steph in PS itself :) grin. exams are OVER for everybody woohoo! wahaha. then we were walking around. made stops at places at times where we were mulling over architectural designs and my favourite books :) stopped at sembawang music junction where we were listening to all kind of jazz, then we went shopping! :) hey gab, im still thinking about the 44 bucks blue ballet-like sequined shoes. how how. i think i wanna buy. damn nice! ahhhh. and it was interesting to see him pick and choose, put down, pick and choose, AND put down the belt in U2. grin. did i help much? heh i dont think so. grin. and we actually chased a kid off the xbox just to play the finding nemo Xbox game. like. erm. how old are we ah? grins.

2 papers down, 1 more to go.
i shall not comment on my papers here. not until i get my grades.
which is god knows when. considering i havent gotten my comns grade yet, but i think i can assure myself [i think] i dont have to go down for that 30 hour workshop conducted in summer term dunno when. muahaha. i hope. i think. urgh.


todays lunch was an interesting affair. with an irritating asshole and an oh-so-entertaining conversation with that asshole. lets not name him, but let us call him A [oh how apt. i've named 25% of him. only elaine would know what im talking about, unless sandy and ros are reading this as well. OOPS. did i divulge more of his identity? muahaha.].
A turned to our table [where me sandy and ros were seated eating lunch] and he asked, "How's LTB?" erm. like LTB was long over? hows LTB? in what sense? he went on to ask, "oh like, hows your group?" i misread that initially [hey it was an honest mistake!] and said, oh good, the group is still close and strong, hence we're here eating lunch together. he looked blur for a while.
THEN he started shifting the topic towards ltb GRADES. oh wow. now the three of us realised that he was trying to fish for OUR ltb GRADES and he tried to use "hows LTB?" as an opening. how sincere. so we played a "hunter rabbit" game with him. the more he asked, the more we siamed. actually im pretty sure he would have known our grades [ or at least the rough group grades] hence i dont understand why he's asking about ours. in the end sandy was so sian diao, she was like "oh half As half Bs" and brushed him aside. then he went on lamenting how badly his group has done, with the highest only an A-. oh puhlease. like you're trying to get us to ask you who's the one who got an A- when we know exactly we got it? urgh. get lost. get OUTTA my face. asshole. seriously, this guy has an ego problem. can somebody squash his ego please? he sounds so polite when he talks to others, like he's trying to sound politically correct, but the impression he gives me is an insincere one, by thinking that oh-he's-so-good and the world would lose out if he's not around.
like hello?!? wake up dude. you may look good, but thats superficial. stop thinking that the world worships your feet cos it doesnt. we dont need you around. idiot.

i seriously think the world would be a better place without him. he's getting on my nerves.
to think he was from RV [oops does that give an extra hint or two?] where i thought all the nice people in hwachong and my sis came from. now i see ONE LONE dark sheep.
YEACKKKKKKKKKKKS.

i cant wait for friday, 1130am. :)
thats when econs end.
kelv, elaine: LETS MUG FOR ECONS. or at least, try to. im starting to think of what i wanna do after the exams liaoz. ahhhhhhhhhhh.

wheeeeeeeeee i got my zen touch finally!!
nearly dropped it just now and my heart plummeted with it until i caught it. grin.
and i missed my zen touch yesterday when i was at my cousin's wedding!

speaking of which.
never hold your wedding dinner at jurong bird park.
service was downright horrible horrendous and terrible. loss of appetite there and then.
besides, the food aint appetitising in the first place. blearh.
what a horrible disgusting wedding dinner.
the wedding couple wasnt wonderful hosts, with sucky service and dinner. no one enjoyed it at all. at least none of my fellow cousins did. blearh.
they were so lack of manpower such that my parents and uncles resorted to being volunteer waiters and waiteresses by helping themselves to the drinks and food when its served. my cousin was walking to and fro the beverage table refilling his glass with plain water. can you imagine that kind of wedding dinner?
the worst thing is that this was supposed to be a small scale dinner. 30 tables max. compared to other venues and dinners which have what, 70 tables above? jurong bird park screwed up pretty badly this time round. maybe because this is their first time round doing such stuff [according to my mum] but frankly speaking, i think its a bad idea.
its fine if you have your engagement party there. small crowd, easy to handle and mingle around. but wedding dinner? forget it man.
to think they wanted it at the mandai zoo initially. blearh.

eyeopening experience but not a good one.
countdown: 5 more days to freedom.
i wanna read books!!!! i miss my novels. blearhhh.
i wanna watch movie. kor, you havent got to me what movie you wanna watch!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
TAUFIK IS IN THE GRAND FINALS!
I PREDICTED THE CORRECT OUTCOME!!!
I WANT THE TICKETS TO THE GRAND FINALS!
CAN ANYONE WIN IT FOR ME?

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
elaine! cq! jialing! any spore idol fanatic! how are we gonna win tix to the grand finals?!?!?!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
[my sis wants some tix too but she'll settle that herself.]
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
TAUFIK TAUFIK TAUFIK.
guess what. i let out a piercing scream when gurmit announced taufik FIRST as the first one going into the grand finals.
does that suggest he had the highest number of votes? grin.
taufik DA MAN!


now who do YOU GUYS think will be the singapore idol?
taufik or slyvester?
dont worry, i have a very open mind. leave your name on my tagboard and tell me who do YOU think will be the singapore idol. :)
my sis insists on calling taufik taupok.
hmph hmph hmph.
she can REALLY settle the tix herself now.

oh i hope taufik would be in one of the final two. my blogders are very cute. they contradict each other. joycez's father likes taufik, whereas jason's father doesnt like taufik. hahaha. so which group of older ones are we refering to here? dont they all belong to the same group?

in any case, i believe that the older generation doesnt vote. solely because they are not into voting. but on the other hand, the younger generation doesnt really vote too. i wonder how many votes are tallied each week for each episode of singapore idol. cq once mentioned he thinks its about 2000 odd per week. which is seriously quite little. and it doesnt prove much as a singapore idol.

to be an idol, has to have two qualities, looks and talent. the best package amongst the 11 final contestants, i wont say its taufik. but its jessea, the one who was voted out almost 10 weeks ago. she had the diva look, and she could sing REALLY well. but maybe because she dint appeal to the youthful masses, and she dint connect with the audience like latoya london of the american idol, hence she was booted out the first week. quite a pity really, because i think she would be a strong contender to olinda. another powerhouse i must say. taufik and sly are both one of a kind. they appeal to different masses. taufik appeals more to the english speaking, and older generation i.e. youths like us and older. he sings songs like usher and al green which appeals to different groups like the hiphop r&b lovers, and the old songs lovers and he can deliver both equally well. whereas sly appeals to the young girls in secondary school because they think his actions are oh-so-cool [sense my sarcasm please.] and he reminds them of their neighbourhood shuai ah bengs. you gotta admit, he looks like an ah beng. but i wont deny that he has his unique points leading to him being in the top three by now. with his looks, and his CHINESE voice, he might be able to make it big in the chinese pop scene. yeah.
ultimately, sly will make it the biggest. because he WILL enter the chinese pop scene.
olinda, she doesnt have the looks. an idol requires looks. at least in singapore. maybe she can be the next tanya chua. but tanya chua is prettier than her! erm. the next _______ [fill in the blank youself please.]
taufik. the next [i have no idea]. we never had successful english singers who made it big internationally unless you count anita sarawak, and i doubt so in the future. its simply difficult. hence, even if he may win this singapore idol [im giving all three equal chances now so dont say im bias], i dont think he would make it there. there in the international scene. maybe regionally, in malaysia indonesia and hopefully singapore as well [but singapore aint that open to local english singers YET.] but i dont think THERE.
imagine pitting olinda or taufik against will young, kelly clarkson, clay aiken, rebeun studdard, fantasia, guy sebastian. i wont name sly cos the americans and english will simply laugh at his english standards.
do you think they can make it? i dont think so. they are still very far away from there. very very far away. so. if kelly clarkson aint making it that big, do you think olinda and taufik can make it there? what about coco lee. the famous taiwan singer who talks with an american twang and tried to make it there. i dont think many know her there as well.
so this all boils down to a show with entertainment value. and it stops there. whether or not the singer makes it is another different story all together. all of them had the exposure required. some will return back to normal lives, like other normal people. others have already stepped into the path of stardom. and they are hooked. and they will try, till they realise that there's no way they can make it big here in singapore.
so what if you tell me there are crowds chasing after them madly, and there are people like ME who are so obviously in love with taufik. its because of the constant exposure each week and the hype that surrounds it all. after a few months spore idol has ended, i will still remember taufik as DA MAN whom i idolised, but not madly in love with him anymore. it was the same with A1, and wilber pan. now taufik da man.
im not trying to be a wet blanket and all, but i perceive this to be the cold hard facts.
correct me if you think im wrong, and we await the results for tonight.
i hope it will be a sly-taufik final.
jialing says its a olinda-sly final.
jason's sixth sense tells him jialing is right.
no offence but i hope you guys are wrong.

and whoever are in the finals, i will still want to watch the finals on dec1. hopefully at the indoor stadium, but NOTHING will come in between me and singapore idol. if not at the singapore indoor stadium, i'll be at home watching it. nothing will deter me. muahaha.

Tuesday, November 16, 2004

home from taman jurong.
been separated from my beloved lappie and net connection for about 10 hours. urgh.
staying in macs for 9 freaking hours is not fun. firstly, it was damn bloody cold, even with my jacket. secondly, i wanna buy FOOD to eat. thirdly, i wanted to go for a run halfway through studying around the taman jurong estate. muahaha.
BUT.
firstly, class 95 kept me going. secondly, the notion of EXAMS kept me going. thirdly, my book kept me going too. i shouldnt bring my book tmr [er but i finished it today anyway] cos its a BIG distraction. ooh but read julie cooper. she's damn good [i typed book initially. ahhhh.]

mm in school on yet another public holiday. and i see plenty of people in school too.
apparently a public holiday is not a holiday in smu. i wonder if it is in nus and ntu. grin.
have econs project presentation! my last presentation. and projects will be over for this sem.
AND i got my bid for finance! so did everyone else i think. for the big group of people who bidded $23.77. muahahaha. now i know at least one sixth of the people in class. sufficient to form a group! whee. grins. muahaha. but we overbidded. at least thankfully me and yixin got finance instead of QM. cos QM was damn cheap! people got it for 10 bucks la. and we put $21 odd. our remains. muahahaha.

now i end class at 645 for 3 days. blearh.
but i do know that my CT is the first half of sem de! which means not so much work in second sem. and i'll have a 3 day week in the second sem! grins.

so not used to roo being 17. speaking of which, im 19 myself.
i feel as though im 16 all over again.
with roo being 14. im used to seeing her at that age.
hee. and i missed her by 8 minutes!
hoi! i came online AFTER watching charlies angel. grin.

whoa whoa whoa.
budak pantai's concert last night was wonderful.
wonderfully mesmerising and wonderfully funny. whoooowheeee.

grin. and saw alot of familiar faces there last night. ALOT of smu people! whoa. i dint know they knew budak pantai too. smu people are surprising me more and more, and i must say im starting to like most of them. MOST of them, but not including the plastics. its alright not to know them, i mean we made elaine and jialing converts of budak! grin. which set me wondering. how come so many smu people know about them? i mean, i heard about them from UFM1003, but i wonder how they came to know about budak. from frequenting blue moo? now i really wanna go blue moo sometime! grin. when they are performing la.

we were laughing nonstop throughout the entire 2.5 hours there, they were damn entertaining, and i still think micheal loh is damn cute, though a li' disappointing when i saw him upclose. grin. we were sitting at circle 3 all the way up there and i agree, they look much better from afar. especially the guitarist, danny, whom jialing had her eyes on the entire night. well mine was trained on michael and gordon, the two pranksters for the night, but i must admit, danny looked damn good from afar. muahaha. they invited rg choir to perform with them! ahhh. brought back tons of memories, of my batch choir people. junhui [who's at UK NOW!!! ahhhh. kept thinking of her with her money and choir uniform. and her complaining about the choir people not handing up funds, in sec 3 and 4. muahaha.] qihui and justina. our dearest vp and p of the peer support board. qihui studying overseas now i think, and well juz, we all know la. a tinge of sadness when i watched the rg choir perform. too much memories le. especially when the sop was singing solo, reminded me especially of her and katerina singing in class, preparing for teachers day 2000 when we were singing for mrs abraham. fishball and joycet, remember them taking the two solo high parts? hai. so much memories, so long ago. 4 years ago. sigh.

but the entire concert was totally fun. really worth my $14. really. unique arrangements, and the transitions to different songs within the same song was perfect. the encore part tickled me to death. quote michael loh "Singaporeans are SO NOT subtle" when he "encouraged" us to shout ENCORE. muahaha. but when the lights in the concert hall dont come back on, you know they are gonna come out again. and the ABBA part. oooh wow! it was wonderful. and the way michael loh put it on why the cast dint invite them for auditions for mamma mia was super funny! wahaha. going from how i keep talking about michael loh, it can be seen that im smitten by him. not for his looks [like DUH] but for his voice and his talent. and his comic antics. i love guys who can make me laugh. muahaha. thankfully i went to watch it last min. gotta thank cq for that, for jio-ing people to go down and watch with him. and dom! sorry for not jio-ing you, owe you a drink sometime.

been to the esplanade twice in two weeks. its a nice place to be at, watching musicals, concerts. we should watch such stuff more while we're still students and have students discounts! muahaha.

i thoroughly enjoyed myself last night at the concert. and i was on time! albeit late by 37 secs as cq pointed to the digital clock on the wall at the esplanade. OOOH and we saw kym ng! rushing towards budak pantai as we last saw her, with her super thick make up. yeacks. and fishball! i managed to catch the last 502 home this time round. all our buses came together, hence dint have the guilt of leaving anybody behind at the busstop waiting for their buses.

its amazing to see how we have so similar music interests, within the fa group. cept for cq's cai qin era, we all agreed that oldies and late nineties pop are so much better than the current hiphop-rap genre. it is refreshing at the beginning, but after a while you get sick and tired of the repetitive sound alike hiphop-rap. hence twas fun blasting MY music during fa meeting on friday, unlike during econs, they insist on playing TECHO [like whadda hell?!?] and hiphop and rap. urgh. but then again, to each his or her own then. grin.

music is part of my life, and i wonder what will my life be without it.

Friday, November 12, 2004

i seem to be setting new records ever since i got into smu.
for staying up late to do work. project work.
first it was for comns. slept at 3am.
now its for fa. slept at 330am. but i got to wake up at 10 instead.
so rightfully speaking i got my bare min of 6 hours sleep hence im bright awake! grin.

kay fine. im those who sleep early and wake up early, hence dont glare or stare at me.
im no weirdo. my mum trained me this way ever since young. blearh.
there's tuition and BUDAK PANTAI today!
whee.
i shall bring my cammie.

on msn.
elaine's nick is "elaine will not have an early night today.."
my nick is "home. doing fa. still brain dead."
changqi's nick is still "changqi"

we're cheonging fa project now.
our layout [hush hush, wonder which smu acct people may be reading] is giving us alot of work. argh. helping zijun and yixin do their portions as well cos zijun is busy with her exams and projects, while yixin doesnt have the program.

oww my neck and shoulder is aching.
wonder what time will i sleep tonight. will wake up late tmr, and then go for tuition.
they are going to rochor to eat tau huey tmr! ahhh. i want too. before the concert.
my stomach's growling now considering i had only waffle fries for dinner.
ruoling, remember the last time you me and sijia went therE?
the night we went high at bugis and asked the person to cut the new bk burger into 3 parts.
grin. i still remember that night, one of the more classic ones.
how did we end up at bugis that night in any casE?
i remember shopping at the korean store. then?
haha. think if i refer back in my blog i'd be able to find it.

ooh yay guess what?
im going for the budak pantai concert at the esplanade tmr evening!
watching with elaine jialing and cq. whee. i dint know people here love budak too!
or rather, only cq. we convinced jialing and elaine to join us.
by letting them hear the tribute to titanic. grin.
ooh and jason p is going too! grin.

coincidence of coincidence, my cousin just walked into taman jurong macs!
kay fine. it aint that surprising cos he lives ard the area.
i think he was more surprised to see me.
muahaha.

ooh btw im at taman jurong macs now. as usual. muahaha.
just that i have my lappie with me, listening to my lib's music.
hoping that i dont run outta bat soon. i have 41% left and i only expect myself to leave here at 7.
damn.

man i need an ipod. or a creative zen. something big enough for my library of music.
i dont wanna lug my lappie around just to listen to songs stored in my library. wahahaha. i need something that is at least 5Gb big. guess how big is my music library. grins. pirate. lalala.


i surprised myself today by enjoying econs meeting. was having thorough fun today. crapping and joking with everybody today. mm. not that much work was required but still i did do my share before laughing my way through msn. damn funny watching cq chat with gary about gays and what nots, and in the other chatroom weizhong was bullying aileen. heh.
i do realise i wear my emotions on my face alot.
even when i msn, when there's something funny going on, i either laugh out loud or smile to myself. i smile and laugh out loud while listening to glenn rod and the flying dutchmen. am i weird or what? grin. i was laughing non stop today la. grins. giggling and laughing at the same time. wahahaha. damn funny, lalalala.
but it was fun. grin.

kekes. better start mugging. and tonight there's singapore idol!
my long awaited day. where sly starts singing jay chou and olinder with teresa teng.
wonder what taufik will sing. hope he'll wow everyone again.
GO TAUFIK!! muahaha.

i wonder what kinda impression i give the smu people actually.

according to a casual accquaintance, she thinks that i play alot. not guai. mm. i aint guai?
i thought i was extreme guai. or maybe "guai" is a relative term.

according to a fellow classmate, he thinks im a happy go lucky person. mm. am i?
i dint think i was the happy go lucky sort.

who am i exactly?
i think i've lost my jc self. which was the one i loved the most.
how can i look for that again?
or have i changed such that i cant go back there again?

LTB ended. today was the last day of lessons for me [unofficially of course].
i wont see friends as much as before. except for project meetings for reports. and thats it. the next time i'll see them would at the exam venues. mm oh wells.

reading through one of the senior's term project for FA. its a A+ one. and i must say, im impressed. shell shocked. like WOW. goodness. wonder how ours is gonna turn out like. think this group of seniors really spent alot of time on it i think. heh.
bidded for finance today. which group i aint divulging. but those bidding with me would know la. duh. hahaha. i do hope we get it though cos we heard the prof doesnt give projects, which is a good thing when we're doing block B. mm.

im getting quite tired mentally actually. dont know why.
cant even think of something proper to blog about, though there are many things whirling around in my mind. about friends, people in school. blah blah blah.
i cant pen them down properly.
arghhhh.

is this what they mean by writer's block?
im giving myself too much credit. wahaha.

Tuesday, November 09, 2004

everyday seems like yester-day.
memories of yester-day that keeps us moving forth. or hold us back to the memories.
which one would you choose?
i'll be greedy and take both.
because i want to be reminded of you you and you.
yet i want to know you, you and you.

cant believe im in uni yes.
entering a new phase in life. making new friends having a different life from my sec and jc friends.
cant believe im still able to find nice wonderful friends [like you two] amidst the throngs of plastics and fake people in school. a godsend, you two.
cant believe my sis [real one] is no longer the bratty pri six girl i remember her to be.
instead, she reminds me of me when i was in sec sch. just a more cheena me. hahaha.
cant believe my dearie mei is now going j2. where i was two years ago.
the times we spent talking, writing letters, practising and teaching mass dance.
cant believe you've been my mei for a whole 4 years already.
cant believe i had started and ended a relationship this year.
tasted the sweet taste of puppy love, but it ended with a bitter taste. with no regrets.
cant believe i had once taught and set papers in a real sec school.
with students who still remember me after all this time.
cant believe you've been my closest buddy for 13 years. and you'd promise to be there for the next 13 years. and ever after. i hold you to that promise.
cant believe you're overseas. in the faraway land of UK. going through a totally different life from me. in the white wintery lands and cold summers. wonder how life is going for you.
cant believe everyone whom i am close to are all separated away from me. overseas. nus. ntu.
thankful for the presence of joyce and yuan. the two closest buddies i have in smu. glad for the chance to be with yuan after our fateless first three months.
cant believe the guys are already 11 months into NS [as for kor and tim, 1 year 11 months and 1 year 8 months respectively]. hope you guys will mature in there.

cant believe so many things happened this year.
my self reflection came a tad early, but mei got me into such a mood.
see la, your blog entry.
haha.
i love all of you.

the time has come.
time flew and its already week 13.
remembering the times when i used to hate coming to sch, i smile at my stubborness now.
maybe because i've found a group of nice friends to be around with in school and im glad that the sch admin had put us together for this sem and next sem. aint we lucky to be stuck together? haha. you guys know who you are la. my comns class people and the two wonderful girls who has the exact same timetable as me.
surprisingly i feel a tinge of sadness each time we end a class this week.
for comns and for FA.
prof gan ended his final fa class with us with a sentence "I dont want to see you guys in my class next sem." we all knew he meant it in a nice way i.e. he doesnt want any of us to fail. after all 13 classes, i kinda regret not paying attention sometimes, but i still enjoyed the mahjong session we had in one of the classes. FA is dry by nature, but some people had made it not so dry for me.
for comns, i'd miss the people. the prof was alright, but its the people in class whom i'll miss alot. oh wells. tmr will be the last LTB class we'll have with the final presentations, but most of us will be in G9 next sem so we'll still see each other in at least 3 classes. i dont exactly like everyone in LTb class but reasons for those would be for me [and some others] to know and for you [if you are kpo enough] to find out. wahahhaa.
showed my face in stats class for the last time today. obviously i aint going on friday. but seriously, the number of people turning up for stats is dwindling down like crazy. it almost seems like a non existant module save for the occasional assignments we have and appear to hand in. like today. erm. now you know why i turned up for class today huh.
got back my fa quiz today. i improved. which is a good sign. meaning im beginning to grasp the fa knowledge. hopefully in time for the final exams. urgh. and i caught a glimpse of zijun's as homework today. argh. it looked scary. help.


now. to bid for QM or CAT?
QM = quantitative methods
CAT = computer as an analysis tool
its gonna either be on thurs or fri.
how the hell do i check if my group is in the first or second half for CT [i.e. creative thinking]?
yahui, how?!? well i do hope its in the first half. so that i wont die in the second half.
mm. i do wanna bid for one more module. but now they dont seem as interested to bid for one more module le because of the horror stories we've heard from the block b people so far. especially for BGS [i.e. business government society]. i really really wanna go for one more. or at least try my hand at bidding. muahaha. but i dont wanna bid alone.
i dont wanna go through the scary part of stepping into class not knowing anyone again.
i hate that feeling. entirely.
maybe im those people who need to be surrounded by people constantly in such an environment. but i can feel comfortable alone too. when im in my room. hahaha. that so doesnt make sense. and moi dearest joycez, we havent checked our timetables with each other yet. yuan too!! got to walk into school with yuan today, what a nice thing. grin. she was early and i was slightly late. by my standards. wahahaha. take care girls and good luck for exams! :)

now i better get back to my fa report.
better send it to cq by tonight. the shit amongst the roses. grin. to think he bluffed me yesterday. hey im a nice naive innocent girl, how can you do that to me? hmph.
TAUFIK rocks, but not SLY. wahaha.
and ooh, olinder is gonna sing teresa teng songs this thurs!! waaaah she can sing chinesE? im amazed. ooh so amazed. hahaha.

i hate econs i hate econs i hate econs.
urgh. i feel like giving up on the econs report. but i cant.
blearh. disgusting subject.
god wonders why i was considering taking econs if i could have made it for a double degree.
thank goodness intro econs made me see the light.

now all i ask for is a second major.
and allow me to pursue my interest in law.
thank you.

Sunday, November 07, 2004

nothin much today.

Saturday, November 06, 2004

oh and i met chew seng around my house area when i was going to the busstop.
mm. asked why he was here, and he said "working".
working?!? huh. i dint know there was an army camp just right outside my house or sth.
how weird.

lesson learnt yesterday:
never bring your date on a friends outing unless you are willing to let your date mix and know your friends.

mamma mia was great yesterday.
but somehow there was something missing for the entire night.
i was expecting a six-some outing having fun.
turned out i felt as though me and yy were on a two-some outing.
it was nice, but not as happening as i thought it would be.
a little let down but anyways.

i enjoyed mamma mia thoroughly.
it was wonderful and such a nice musical. you guys should watch it. though the $27 tix would give you a neckache and backache by the end of the entire show. hee. cos it was on the extreme sides and we had to lean all the way out in order to see the entire stage. dont worry, you wont fall. half way through the show, i felt like cutting that stupid metal bar which obstructed my view. no wonder on my tix it was printed "$27 - obstructed seat". heh. at the end of the show, i nearly stood up and danced. but nobody at the top was dancing. but everybody at the bottom was dancing. oh wells. im buying the mid range tix next time im watching at esplanade theatre i tell ya. but the music was power, it was wonderful. seriously. its well worth the money, cos you get a better view if you pay more. but almost the entire theatre had a good view, hence in order to get a good view, you would prolly have to pay $100 odd bucks? i'd do that when im working la yea. heh.

dinner was a subdued one. with gab keeping so silent through out the entire dinner, and wyu arriving late, i'd rather eat dinner with yy alone. the atmosphere was sooo super awkward.

wonder whassup with gab.
mm. dint dare to ask. oh wells.
dude, if you need someone to talk to, me and yy will be here for you to talk to.
or maybe, you'd rather talk to her.
oh wells. anything so as long as you feel better kk? *hugs*

i wonder when would be the next time the three of us would meet up again now that gab has someone to date during the weekends. me and yy can date too [grin] but i think she'd rather date her books considering exams are drawing close. i dont mind the occasional dinner each weekend. but i wonder, if this was the last time in the near future all three of us would get together.
oh wells.
i'll miss them during the weekends.
and have nothing to look forward during the week.
sigh oh sigh.

Friday, November 05, 2004

gave up hope on waiting for my neighbour's wireless to get started again. decided to hook my lappie to the main broadband cos i dont really like to use the home pc to surf and do work nowadays. im very attached to my lappie la. hee. martin pointed out, he thinks i wont be able to survive without my lappie. which is true. i can go without msning, but i cant go without my lappie. because of my library of songs in my lappie.
speaking of which, areslite dont seem to be working today.
hum.


leaving the house at 430pm later. whee. havent decided what to wear yet. i will decide later.
whee. mamma mia. whee.
doing econs report at the same time listening to brian white. nice singer.. :)
just like taufik.

taufik is safe! :) of course he would be. wheee.
but on the other hand, leandra gone.
i'd rather the one kicked out to be olinda.
aw sigh.

ooh did you guys watch taufik last night on spore idol?
goodness. his second song simply melted me heart. ahhhhh.
i've fallen in love with him. as in, the type where you fall in love with idols, like how yuan is in love with jj you know. lalala. ahhhhh swoon.
taufik has such a charming smile, wonderful vocals.
ahhhhhh.
he's gonna stay in this competition tonight. he cant possibly lose. after that speechless and heartmelting performance, he simply cannot lose. CANNOT.
he is my singapore idol no matter who wins. grins.


finally FA quiz is over, the last of the three before our final exams. finally.
i somehow seem to be getting the hang of FA now. at least i know where to put my stuff. debit what credit what. open accounts close them. even bonds doesnt seem that scary now.
i swear, for the weeks before sem break, i had no idea [ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA] how to debit and credit. how stupid i felt then.
maybe cos my heart wasnt into studying and i hated smu entirely. for reasons all know.
and that gan is a crafty creature. we all thought there was gonna be structured in this quiz, but from first hand information from yixin, there were 33 bloody MCQ for one hour. blearh. 30 compulsory and 3 bonus. whoever can get bonus marks for this one, must be a goddamn genius. my first three questions were BLANK. i refuse to take the risk la. but still. i did. the reason for having marks deducted for every wrong question is to reduce the chances of us getting the questions correct by luck. but we were trained since young to try even when we dont know how to do the questions. its so contradictory now. and i still have the urge of trying, despite knowing that every wrong question i do, would deduct 1/3 marks from what little i have already. but it seems to be an inborn nature now. how not to try when i know that i might just get it correct, and only to regret it when i realise that i got it wrong.

its the weekend again!
and i cant believe it myself, im gonna watch mamma mia tmr night! whoowowee! :)
i simply cannot wait, for a night of abba songs that bring me to the past.
my first musical coincidentally.
whee i cannot wait for tmr.
and for the first time, interact with gab's new girl. wahaha.
i bet he must be damn excited about tmr, right gab?
ooh and please, dont dress so formal la. now i have no idea what to wear tmr.
blearrrhh.

Wednesday, November 03, 2004

been refreshing yahoo's election page since the afternoon.
close call, with ohio tied in deadlock and technical errors in new mexico and iowa.
but bush is leading by TWO electorate votes. and these three states are pro-bush. slightly.
mm interesting election here. at least much more interesting than singapore's elections. where PAP wins all the time. boring. urgh.


sometimes i wonder how other people can survive without reading newspapers, watching the news. dont they care what happens around the world, or even local singapore? do they know the recent murder of 9 year old chinese girl Huang Na? do they know that the US presidential elections started officially last night? or do they not give a damn cos it doesnt affect their lives.
oh well. i can tell you for sure the new US president will affect us indirectly even when we dont realise it. passing of new laws by the world's superpower nation's leader. would that not affect the global economy, situation and in return, us? how minimal the effect may be, but nonetheless, its not something we can neglect just like that.
no wonder singapore government thinks that youngsters nowadays are passive and self centered. they dont give a damn about what happens outside their world. correct me if im right please. i have plenty of friends and acquaintances who dont read the papers, nor watch the news. well, the newspaper is my staple every morning, and i cant step out of the house without at least flipping through the papers and glancing through the headlines. i just dont understand these people sometimes. their world consist of they themselves and no one else. how interesting can that be? arent you concerned about happenings in singapore, people around us? not at all?
unbelievable.
mm. im just ranting here.
thinking out loud.
why people dont read newspapers nor watch the news.

Tuesday, November 02, 2004

skies are grey and clouds are gathering. its gonna be another rainy afternoon again.
not that i'd really care considering im gonna be staying at home for the rest of the day mugging for fa. or at least, trying to make some sense out of the book and my notes. plus the quizzes. ah. sigh. i've almost half given up hope on this quiz, considering the amount of time i have left to study for this quiz. urgh.

LTB officially ended for my group today when we finished our presentation this morning.
a sense of loss somehow, the kind of feeling you feel when you feel a sense of emptiness within you. by right, i should be having my LTB meeting now. but it's over. finished. feels weird that i should be sitting in my room now instead of some gsr.
really glad to get to know them soo much more as compared to before. started calling ros mummy yesterday. for some reason for another, i cant quite remember. hee. guess they are all waiting for fa to start soon at 330 later. oh wells.
it does get abit lonely in the group when there's only me as an accountancy student, cos they share so many classes together. but thankfully i've got elaine and yixin. elaine, im glad to be stucked with you and yixin :) grin. thankfully as well, all my LTB mates are in G7,9 as well, except for jason. oh sigh. poor guy. mm but the rest of the comns class would be with him too i suppose.
i'll miss LTB as a course. the one which was most fun and laughter.
im glad i'll see them again next sem, this time in the same class. :)

rainy day. heavy rain.
nice music. nice weather.
nice bed.
what should i be doing?
sleeping, considering i slept at 1am and woke up at 6am.
i dont mind 830 classes, giving me lotsa free time to do whatever i want.
but next sem, i have a dreadful timetable. urgh.
no more "weekend starts at tues after FA at 130pm."
blearh.
disgusting timetable. but with nice friends and people.
appropriate tradeoff. grin.

following the us presidential elections closely now.
refreshing the yahoo homepage whenever i can.
current standings: 249 - 220. bush to kerry.
oh i'd wish bush would win ohio state.
i wish.

this is damn amusing.
im home. online. IN MY ROOM.
you may be thinking, so?
well. get this right. I DO NOT HAVE WIRELESS AT HOME!
you may be thinking, so? you have your home pc in my room right?

well. those who knows me well enough will know.
my home pc is out at the living room area. and i DO NOT HAVE NET CONNECTION IN MY ROOM! which can only mean one thing ultimately.

i tapped into my neighbour's wireless.
ooooops.
well. i will make sure i grab this chance more often than not before he/she blocks me off.
wahahaha.
BUT. im supposed to be doing learning journal and powerpoint for LTB presentation tmr. ahhh.
hence this accident is a very bad distraction. for instance, im already blogging now! urgh.
but at the same time, i have more motivation to stay awake till late.
which is not a good habit but anyway. hee.

kk i shall go end my lj. one way or another. and exceed the pages limit. dont care la yea. urgh.

Monday, November 01, 2004

wheee i told you guys i love my FA group. and i do, seriously. grin.
i mean, amongst so many group projects i've done so far, im most comfortable with my FA group. i like my LTB group too, but it took me a while to get used to them, be comfortable around them. whereas for FA, it seemed as though the connection was there already, even with the last minute intrusion of the lone guy. wahahha. like what changqi said, this is the only group which he can speak chinese and everybody would understand, which is true. haha i dont quite know why too. lame being lame, suan and suan. non stop food also, either from jialing or elaine [with her sweets last night], and me sponsoring the sushi the last time round. mm.
similar bunch of creatures anyway. grin. most of us are in accountancy, which makes things alot easier too. and elaine and yixin have the same timetable as well. which is a nice thing, cos it would be nice to walk into class next sem and see nice familar faces.
just discovered that most of my LTB group have similar timetables, just like the villagers. heh. aint that nice? grin. martin is crapping nonstop now. making me ros and sandy laugh like shit. hahaha. comns group was not bad, with fir and ivan, but we only worked for a short period of time and wasnt that close to ivan ultimately. and econs is made up of og people like weizhong gary and siyin. i still like my FA group the best. followed by my LTB group.

walked out to coro prince for lunch with jialing elaine nicole and dk. yixin wanted us to go cosy corner initially but majority ruled and prince prevailed. hahaha. stepped into prince and was reminded of the times when us girls were there eating after class, after events, whenever we had nothing to do. the time at ntuc reminded me of the times we were shopping for food for our late nights in school pia-ing for alevels. everything about coro reminds me of wonderful times in jc. ahh sigh. as usual. but the group of people i went to for lunch with today was fun and madd. like dk and nicole. dk actually dint realise i was in his buddy og group. wah how insignificant i am. ooh wow. heh. not that it really mattered. considering i aint that close to my og anyway. mm. not all anyway. grown a little closer to weizhong and gary, and was slightly touched when gary told me "good luck" before FA presentation today. ooh FA presentation was a success today. we werent shot at at all, and gan complimented cq on his detailed breakdown on setting up a company.

i think im starting to like smu a little bit more. especially when i realise that the people around me are damn nice. oh i dont want to go into the next sem. heard that some people in my new group aint really nice. urgh. oh wells. i'll miss my comns class people.
whinee.
now i'll miss them. how ironic i am.
and i want to shoot my econs prof. muahahaha.

why is it that whenever i make a point to listen, i always end up yawning?
take yesterday's econs and today's FA. whinee.
not that i have that much lack of sleep. i sleep by 12 midnight everyday. and wake up at 6 in the morning. it is 6 bloody hours a day, which is suppposed to be sufficient for an average uni student. ahh sigh.

i can type without looking at the keyboard and stare at gan at the same time. after some practice and of course, the occasional mistakes la. heh.
roo, you blog too much. and im cutting down on my blog entries le. am i? grin.

sleepy sleepy sleepy.
no no no. *shakes head* im wide and awake. im wide and awake. im wide and awake.
who am i kidding man?
i shall save my energy for the FA presentation later where i read from the slides and the table. urgh.
ooh did i mention, i love my FA group? grin.

though i still dont understand how can cq like sly. guy having guy as idol?!?
