wow. just watched dirty dancing havana nights and it was greattt. :D
totally loved the music in the movie. and apparently i dint know there was an orginal dirty dancing. ended up i found mp3s from both dirty dancing and dirty dancing havana night soundtrack.
oh wow.
watching them gyrating their hips and losing themselves in the power of music, it makes me feel like doing so too. :) man its totally nicee.
dont ask me why, but i've been watching alot of dance movies recently.
shall we dance, save the last dance, dirty dancing.
i feel like joining a dance class. if i have the time. haha.

i can dance, just not as often as i like.
remembered the times during red cross, always putting up dances for events and parades during the performance time. and during red cross talentime, me cyn and eda were the threesome doing a dance item. eda the dance expert chose me and cyn, honoured sia. haha. but then, too many late practices, and my mum forced me to drop from it. wasted efforts. but i had a nice time dancing. maybe thats why i chose to be in charge of house mass dance then? stopped dancing for a while, until we hit jc when mass dances were a plenty. and i still love our year fac dance. it was damn nice. in fact, i would say, the nicest fac dance in our year. like seriously! hahaha.

i wanna dance. whee! :D
infectious movie. heh.

im home!!
whee. a little hyper now. because ... ...
im not saying. nothing to do with him though. so stop guessing. hahaha.

anyways. 1 day down.
1 MORE DAY TO GO!
before exams come! wheee! and there's long weekend.
im soo thankful for the long weekend. so so thankful. all the teachers in the staff room are so looking forward to the long weekend. think some of the teachers are going away, cuz overheard some of their plans. :D

as for me, i've got plans all the way to tuesday already :)
sat - tuition from 10 - 6.
sun - tuition 10-12, mtg ruoling in late afternoon, concert in the evening! [bring cammie :) ]
mon - sentosa with kailyn and dog! [rmb to collect islander card]
tues - school [last day of lessons!], mtg him in late afternoon. hee.

then kboxing with joyce and yuan not confirmed. plus could be going shopping with kailyn on thurs cuz of the 10 day cleo discount thingy. PLUS. find one day go yy's place to swim. :) and more mahjong please! hahaha.
and then, comes the weekend again. AND THEN IT IS THE HONGKONG TRIP!
wooohoooo!

i like today :D
i like the past two weeks.
it has always been work, play work play.
keeping myself occupied, spending time with my loved ones :D
which i like it this way.
like today for instance.
spent a simple day at fishball's place, hanging out with my bestest closest friends ever and having hell of a time. :D
we even managed to play mahjong, with fishball's mum kw fishball and kailyn! :)
yy's family are the nicest family i've ever met. always welcoming us to her house. i feel as though we're part of the family. :) and kw seems to have settled down pretty well in the household. looks like future son-in-law to them. HAHAHA. good luck dude. he's a nice guy, i think. he and yy, same pattern de lor. blur as sotong, funny at the same time.
im sure kailyn enjoyed herself today..
we should go yy's place again next week :) to swim, to bowl. anything! just to spend quality time with my friends, before we hit hongkong for major shopping!

guess what, i love you guys so much.
thanks for constantly being by my side, giving me support and encouragement.
and much needed advice. like joycet!
im glad i did what you said :)
everything turned out for the better. hope yours too dearie. *muacks*

OH and I LOVE HUANG JUNHUI TOO! who's currently in the faraway lands of uk. :)

wheee!!!
im blogging on yy's laptop at yy's place!!
they are all still eating dinner. all i.e. fishball khaiwei joycet and kailyn :)

we had bowling just now and it was damn damn damn damn damn damn fun!!
funny, crappy, lamee, madness!
the classic moments were when we were trying to screw everyone's game, so when each of us have our turn, there's bound to be someone waiting right behind to bowl for us [and give us longkang balls] or someone will step on the line to make it beep!
hahahaha.
best classic moment.
joycet wanted to bowl for kw. yy was on the phone.
joycet managed to get the ball, she rolled it, kw rushed down the side trying to stop the ball.
in the panic amidst, joycet stepped on the line to foul the ball. and kw thought it fouled because he was trying to stop the ball! and you should have seen how joycet stepped on the line! like a little kid denied of his lollypop and stomped in a temper. WAHAHAHA.
i laughed until i nearly died. and yy missed the whole show cuz she was on the phone with her mum! awww. grin.
after that i went into a mad high and tried every single ball possible! wheee! grin.
so so so so so fun.
my arm will ache like shit tmr.
WHEEE. and i cant wait to go hongkong with this bunch of people :D

peiling was giving me ideas where to shop when we met for the video showing yesterday :D grin. and desmond kept commenting about us girls doing non stop shopping. and soontien was there trying to convince me not to show so that i can save the money up for my 3G nokia 6680. nice try ahahaha.
they are still eating dinner! gonna play a few rounds of mahjong later :D
anyways. had video showing at ncss yesterday. an alright no of people came, but most of the committee members were there except for fucai gary and him. got class mah. haha. then we were just jokiing and having fun. :D and the video was damn funny! soon tien sent it to me via msn le. and they decided not to follow up on the children camp idea. which was kinda expected cuz the children sector volunteers werent exactly enthu about it in the first place. oh wells. shrugs. and hence me peiling and soontien were just slacking around. ended up watching last year's video, when i was one of the participants. and realised i've changed alot since then. seriously. i should ask those who has seen me then and now, whats the difference. soontien said it was something to do with the jc and uni look. very different. okayyyy.
yeaps.
for the better or for the worse? i think the better. hahahaha.
mmmmm.
whee they finished dinner alr. WHEEE. mahjong time! :D

mm very sleepy.
was watching american idol just now and fell asleep during constantine's performance. not that i mind, since i dont really like him. but halfway thru scott's performance, i simply switched off the tv and came online. scott will go home tmr! MUAHAHA. if not, AI is screwed left right centre.

anyways. im so sleepy.
slept for about 4 hours odd this morning. thankfully it was only invigilation today and i spent most of my time reading in the staff room. mixed ard abit more with the ugts today, got to know one of them better. she's real nice :) which then brings back memories of last year when i had simply tons of fun hanging out with the ugts ard during my time, people like daniel yuanshin and wanting. the times we spent cracking our brains to set EL comprehensions for the sec ones and coordinating our timings for lunches and wrecking havoc when we dint have to go for the meetings. yea. those were the times. i wonder where they are teaching now. sighh.
maybe thats why teaching last year was so enjoyable.
this year, the old colleagues are still very nice. and miss siew [aka mayling] is very nice and sweet too! but somehow, i look at the ugts, and think back of last year.
and with the corner cubicle im given in the staff room, its hard not to feel a little lonely inside. especially when you're still the youngest in the staff room. but tis okay, students keep popping by to say hi :D like today, when some of the 2e4 girls came over to chitchat. aww so sweet. grin.
love those kids. hahaha.

im sleepy.
but it was all worth it. :D
thanks for making my day :)

the small little toe on my right foot is very itchy.
cuz there's a humongous mosquito bite there. of all places. nvm.

my table is in a mess.
too many books. too many wires. too many this and that.
plus today's papers.
why is my table in a worse state as compared to before the exams?
hehehehe.

and whee!
ruoling may be going with me for 1st may concert @ esplanade!
BUT. she still has exams.. ooops.
think carefully hor.
heee.

and oh.
he returned me my "brand new book" yesterday.
just that it doesnt look brand new any more.
it looks more like a second hand, second hand book coming from a second hand bookstore.
sighhh.
xin hen tong.
i havent even read the book!
my heart bleeds for the book.
the spine, the cover.
SIGH.

Monday, April 25, 2005

confused.
distracted.

i dont know what else to say.
nitex people.

Sunday, April 24, 2005

if only i could be a computer genius like the main male lead.
that would be like HOW COOL. hahahhaa.


sighh. no one available to watch 1st may concert @ esplanade waterfront with me.
cant find anyone.
sighhh.
i really dont wanna miss this concert.
sighh.
sighh.
sighh.

i should stop sighing.

why cant nus free their students?
then i could ask ruoling to go with me.

i have a bad feeling about tmr evening's dinner.
dont ask me why.
its just a gut feeling.
and it doesnt feel good.

Saturday, April 23, 2005

been a boring day.
as in. nothing much done, dint really go anywhere.
i did go out, after all weekends are tuition days.
just today was just 2-6pm tuition. then tmr is 10-4 tuition. with a 2 hour break in between.
was telling elaine and kailyn yest, now im teaching 7 days in a week. i.e. everyday.
yawn. but somehow. i dont tire from tuition. at least not yet.
should try asking me again next week and see what i say.

not many people online today.
but then again, after school ends, not many people are online usually.
and my sis thinks my floating contacts are irritating. but i think its useful. cuz ultimately i dont talk to many people on msn. and i have a total of 12 people whom i usually talk to on msn. hahaha guess who. you guys know who you are la. im usually too lazy to initiate msn. unless you really mean something to me. or else, i'd just slack and wait for people to talk to me. hahaha.

such a hot day today. went out in sleeveless and shorts for tuition. and i was still feeling hot.
so decided to switch on aircon today. mind you, i usually dont. cuz the wind on the 16th floor is pretty strong at my place, considering there are no nearby flats to block the wind.

im boreed.
kinda.
next weekend! 1st may! read cowpat's tag? budak is performing at esplanade, for some concert. concert starts at 630pm, ending with fireworks at 930pm! and budak is slotted to perform at 7pm. TAUFIK IS GONNA BE THERE TOO! any nice souls wanna go with me?
kailyn babes? hee. but i know its your dad's birthday too...
anyone anyone.. pleaseee. im not gonna miss budak's performance this time round. PLUS there's no school the next day! so im not compelled to leave immed at 930. hahaha. i hope. :D cuz i can sleep late and wake up late. havent been able to wake up late for a long time.

lets see what's coming this week.
monday: exam briefing in the afternoon + meeting friends for dinner.
tues: nothing.
wed: VNC 2005 video showing in the evening.
thurs: nothing.
fri: nothing.

and during next week, yuan joycez we gotta find time to go kbox.. friday? :D
and also. find time for 5 of us to get together to plan for hk. where to hit for shopping immed after we hit the hotel. grin. did abit of research alr this morning. hahaha.

sians.
yeaps feeling sians.
maybe i should just get offline.

Friday, April 22, 2005

realise i always go for the same type of layout for my blog?
nice clean clear lines with plenty of space for my entries.
considering my entries are always so long. teehee.

had school today, as usual. ended at 1245, but was waiting for janice to come retake her quiz. was chased by jeremy who spotted me from the corner of the staff room door and pronounced loudly that his gan mei wanted to do the quiz. DOTS. no need to shout lor. hahaha.
left the school soon after janice finished to meet kailyn at jec.
went pop, and we looked at assessment books for over an hour. she was looking at the pri sch syllabus while i mulled over if i should buy situational writing to prepare notes for my tech class. in the end, i decided i should borrow from jamie instead. heee. checked out my wuxia games as well, and the one i was eyeing was gone already! bahh. will try and look for it at simlim, when we go get kailyn's digicammie. after roving around pop, we headed back to jec to grab a bite, and checked out the ice skating rink as well. the last time we ice skated was in pri school! and i dont even think i ice skated then. hahha. but we found a day with reasonable price and rental of skates as well. students on wed :D heee. should learn ice skating by end of 4 months. one girl looked darn cool ice skating la. hehehe.

then we chilled out at the lib. by sitting at the cafe, reading and seated comfy on the red cushion seats. the only downside was, at the presentation area, they were preparing for some presentation tmr, and kept replaying the video clip over and over again. twas so irritating.
as usual, i had only space to borrow one lib book but i took, uhm. 8 books? heee. but it was easy to choose what i wanted, but with a little help from kailyn of course. and we settled dinner at the cafe before going home. :D
it was a nice day.

and i love kailyn!
we have reached a point whereby, how we think, is comfortingly similar. we are able to figure out what each other is thinking, without having to say it out. silence is comfortable, and with any action, we know how each other feel. we like doing things the same way, and yea, we are quite similar. in every way possible.
14 whole years of friendship.
i love you babes :D *muacks*
should come my house to bake sometime, and go your house to cook. whee! and of course, not forgetting to date you every other day! :D

we were just talking.
talking about our friends and how they work. cuz her friends were trying to get her out for mahjong later tonight [which was later changed again to just town outing..] on the spur of the moment. and i was telling her, if my friends did that to me, i wont be interested.
as in.
im not the on-the-spur of the moment girl.
i like to know things beforehand, and not go out *snap* just like that. i like to plan my days, my schedule. so that i can leave some days to rest at home, and some days to work, and keep some days for friends to chill out with. ask me to go out when im home curled up in my bed with a good book and good music, i'd tell you to chill on your own.
at the same time, i absolutely hate it when people pangseh me last minute. really you will get it from me if you do that to me. like. i need time to prepare, need time to travel. all these time can be put to better use if you tell me in advance that the event is cancelled. also, you bring my hopes high that "oh im gonna be meeting XXX today, and i'll be having fun!" and then, you dash my hopes by saying that the meeting is cancelled. i'll prolly ignore you for like the next week. hahaha. im not referring to anyone in particular, im just voicing out my thoughts.
but then again, no one in my group of friends are rude enough to pangseh without notification. or rather, maybe they just dont wanna make me flare. hahhaa. possible. grin.

alright. eyes are tired.
feel like sleeping.
for once, i dont have to wake up at 545am tmr morning. finally. and rach's tuition is on sunday. so i can wake up late tmr! :D
hahahaha.

Thursday, April 21, 2005

yay. finally changed layout.
people, if the words are too small, tag me. i'll change it :D

and yea. im still procrastinating about making it something more.
it took me 15 minutes to change from the old one to the new one.
teehee. i took a break from reading!
now back to books :D

*** best viewed in 1024 X 728 screen resolution.
*** dont understand? msn or sms me.

today was nicee.
not school, really. considering today was a 7 period day. with E5, A4 and T1, what can you really expect. could have killed some guys in E5 today, but at least i managed to teach. and i guess more than half the class was listening so fine.
i should stop msning for a while. or else my entry will always be stuck at a particular point. hahaha.
double 3E5, triple 3A4, double 3T2. like what one student said, "all the trouble classes". greattt. BUT i have only one more day like this. next thursday.
tmr. one period with 3E5, 3A4, 3T2, 2T1 and one more i cant rmb. 3A1? i think.
3A1 has cheeky boys. hahaha. the usual la. some from 2A2 last year.

anyways. enough of school talk. i dont think you guys would really wanna hear me ramble on about those classes. simply makes my blood boil. hehehe.
yeaps.
today was nice. cuz even though i left school later. [only slightly at about 2 plus after i was trying to control myself from disturbing justin who was doing his chi make up test at my table. HAHAHA] i did plenty of stuff that really caused me to relax. cuz it was raining when i was on the bus. so i decided to do the switch bus thing again. took 176 to jurong east, switched to 335, and took it for one big round back to jurong east and took 98A which was a round return bus that made its uturn at corporation road. so i happily slept on the bus, till i felt the bus came to a stop. and realised the female bus driver was changing the sign before moving off. and i was the only one left on the bus. and she saw that i woke up, and said in chinese [which was what i heard vaguely through my headphones] "xing le ah?" meaning. "you woke up le?" OOPS. then i dropped off at my place. at around 4 plus. 2 hours of bus ride. hahaha.
yea la im madd. but i'd take bus over train. ANYTIME.
and as usual i was reading my book and listening to my baby at the same time.

reached home, took a bowl of grapes, fell on my bed and continued reading.
while munching on grapes. seedless grapes! cuz im lazy. hahaa.
and i was reading all the way from 4 plus to about 6 plus.
2 solid hours of reading.
should be able to finish the book by tonight.
book is "Mosaic" by JohnR. Maxim.
as usual of me, its a thriller. for this, its a scientific thriller, talking about multiple personalities having lifes of their own. its really quite interesting. im sure most of us, when we were young, had imaginary friends. did we really imagine them, or were they part of us. did we grow out of them, or did they just go back into our bodies and souls, and reemerge as part of us? do think about it. its really nice. :D

think i'll continue reading it now. and come back to msn later at 10?
hahaha. books books and more books! :D

Wednesday, April 20, 2005

give me a dagger and im ready to kill.
damn pissed.
and i dont care which student is reading this.
bahhhhhhhhh.
things are simply not going my way.
not in the mood to elaborate man.

but i love my girl friends.
thanks kailyn joyce and yy for a wonderful movie time at kailyn's place this afternoon.
helped to lift my weary spirits :D
*muacks* to all of you.
cant wait to go hk with you guys! hee.

Tuesday, April 19, 2005

had a long mad day.
but i enjoyed every minute of it.

started teaching today.
plenty of students went "ms teo" all over the place.
the E4 girls, the E2 boys.
christopher chunhow and justin were soo sweet to come look for me at my cubicle.
just to say hi.
aww love those boys :D
the sunshine of my then gloomy clouds mood.
apparently he caused me to feel gloomy. just over a phonecall. bahh.
anyways.
teaching was alright?
not as scary as i thought it would have been, given the classes im teaching.
and my fellow colleagues are still as friendly as ever. love them loads! :D

after teaching, rushed back to smu to get smthg from laurene.
missed the bulk of the meeting, but i caught bits and pieces like party, games and bintan. the brochure looked nice. hahaha.

met my DEAREST KAILYN after that!!! :D
wheee.
we sat down at nydc from 4 - 5 plus, eating dinner and talking.
talked to her about my frustrations.
she talked to me about hers too.
and i binged cuz i was feeling rather upset.
cleared oven baked and mango dessert [the cheesecake with mango accessories de..]. for once i dint order mudpie or choc stuff! hahaha. kailyn was amazed by the amount i could eat when i was upset.
then walked all the way to overseas family centre carpark cuz she left her debit card there. without it, we couldnt buy her bro's birthday pressie. which was bought ultimately at lido isetan and i splurged on earrings again! 3 pairs, 12 bucks. cheap lei. but it caused kailyn to tsktsk at me cuz i bought big earrings again and wore it immed after we got it. and i kept swinging the earrings to irritate her with the noise! hahaha. :D i love big earrings :D
watched sahara. initially it was quite slow.. but i got totally high nearing the end! its darn good during the middle and end parts! i LOVVEEE the part with the 150 year old cannon ball rolling about in the helicopter, glowing.. and finally KABOOM! muahaha. i love such shows. sahara is not so much national treasure, hence it wasnt that entertaining.. but the two male leads were darn cute and funny!

alrighty. better go sleep.
i need to learn to wake up at 545 am everyday now.
the only downside of teaching. ahhh.
11 more days to exams.
this i mean, the hillgrove exams.
9 more days of seeing the students.
then its invigilation time. hahaha.

Monday, April 18, 2005

tainer training was fun fun fun fun fun today!!! so exhilarated :D
joel and char were of soo much help! and i cant stop laughing at captain steven and captain mok's yellow jokes. cuz char looked so naive and blur, she almost believed them! and joel and me were just grinning and trying not to laugh by the side. wahahahas.
and it was such an eye opener! sitting on the open deck, with the breeze blowing, and enjoying the sights. oh man i wanna be a tainer!
im gg to continue training and pass the assessment first.
but looks like i can only start taining in june.

cuz..
im going back to hillgrove to relief!
yeaps reading me right :D
but apparently, according to sean, im teaching the terror classes. 2T1, 2T2, 3T1 and the nightmare class, 3E5. helpppp.
but then again. im gonna to step to the challenge. sean has been telling me, 3E5 has changed 5 geog teachers so far. and i'll be the 6th one. let me be the last one for this term. hahaha. grin.
and sean is doing me a BIGGG favour by telling me who to look out for in 3E5. apparently my "beloved" glenn is there. the one who kept on going "zoo poo" last year when i was teaching fertilisers. bahhh. well at least i know edmund will be in 3e5! :D hahaha. and he's telling what food to avoid in the school canteen cuz apparently they changed all the stalls.
boyyy.
and when i told chiayin im going back tmr, she helped me publicise my return by announcing on her msn nick. which resultted in numerous msns from ex students asking who im teaching, and why im coming back. hahaha. im glad they still remember me man. :D
cant wait for tmr.
i hope i have a relatively slack day tmr.
cuz i still have meeting back in school. then im meeting kailyn dearest! :D
then wed. school. maybe tainer training, then meet kailyn again? :D hahaha.
now i've got something to keep me going. keep me going :D
im quite on a high already..

met jinyang for lunch today, lunched at marche and we just sat there and talked.. talked for a real long time about jc memories and future plans.. then walked about abit.. to tower records, and then to times [yea i just HAVE to visit times la. grin.] and he was tempted to buy a book. but decided not to in the end. so we parted and went home.. then i went to trim my hair.. it looks nicer now, and my fringe aint that long already. hahaha.

twas a nice day really. meeting up with old friends.. and making new friends :D
keeping myself occupied.
i like it this way.
and i hope it will last.. :D

today. i blog with a sane and clear mind. hahaha.
at least i have some idea of what i wanna blog today mah. yesterday was just a kok rehash of what happened the night before, to pen things down before i forget them :)

was watching the charity show just now actually. in fact it is still going on now. but somehow, the dangerous acts of the local artistes aint half as attractive and mesmerising as the one last week, with the overseas singers with zhen ni and emil chou. boy zhen ni was soo captivating and me and my sister found ourselves singing to emil chou's songs. and ya, i was watching it right before the day of AS. hahaha.
so im back in my room.


ehh. popped out to watch ENERGY on the charity show. :D their dance moves are still as good as ever, but it felt weird watching 3 people dance. cuz ahdi was injured i think. and it used to be a 5 man show when toro was around. that was the time.. to think i was crazy over them when i was in j2.. over their fast songs and nice dance moves :D
and now ruoling is off to pompom in the pool cuz she insists weather over in the east is HOT. but im feeling nice here. as in, the weather has been rather pretty today here in the west :) yeaps. considering i had tuition from 10-6 and dint feel like falling asleep in the afternoon, i'd say the weather was pretty good. been revising work with my students and i have 2 students who cant stop giggling when we do sexual reproductive systems. i.e. rach and kangrui. two different reactions though. rach giggles out of embarrassment. kangrui giggles out of knowledge! ARGH. and kangrui asked me if the semen from the male productive system was transparent. HOW THE HELL WOULD I KNOW?!? [but i think it is. is it?] i told her to ask her classmate. and she "eeee" at me. and when we moved on to permanent birth controls, i asked her to make a guess where the snip would be. she adamantly stated "of course the penis la! long long de, very easy to cut. like tai jian liddat." walau i penged on the spot lor. like seriously. AHHH. and she said she has seen a condom before cuz her uncle showed her before. BIAN TAI! [for the record, i have seen one before, but that was cuz we had to get it for amazing race last year. fishball bought it for us and me and ruoling were just examining it. or was it me and fishball examining it. and we threw it to kh and kw cuz we thought they'd need it more than we do! HAHAHAHA.] but seriously. i dint dare to ask why on earth would her uncle be showing sth like that to her. blearrh.
i love my tuition kids.
rach cuz she reminds me of hillgrove. and she's soo different when she's in class and when she's at home. ALOT more softspoken. hehe. cuz ms teo one on one tuition mah.
kangrui cuz she's ever so cute! always joking and telling me about her choir and class life.
daphne cuz she's the guai-est of the lot. always doing her work properly. the brightest of them all too.
sijie cuz she's the youngest and the most forthright. always asking about stuff she doesnt understand, or help she needs in her school work.
not forgetting chunhow, he's damn cute! hahaha. or else how to be my teachers' pet last year? haha. can still remember how he smartly chose to hide behind me the minute i stepped into class for EL lesson cuz chihou was chasing him all over the class. i remember justin commenting about chunhow being smart, to use ms teo as dang jian pai. HAHAHA.
i miss the times when i was teaching. till now edmund likes to jokingly ask me to go back and teach geog, cuz he hates his current geog teacher. hehe. but he's the only one who truly understands that i cant cuz im studying now.
but now, considering its the hols, think i might call hillgrove and tell them im free for relief teaching.. see if they have any one or two day thing for me. it would be nice to go back and surprise the students. who are all sec2s and 3s already. goodness i really miss them. hahaha.
chris was still telling me it was chunhow's birthday just one week ago? but i forgot to sms chunhow happy birthday. yea i still have some of their numbers :D

YAY and i finally borrowed books. it was soo nice to not control the urge to borrow books. and thank goodness i could borrow cuz I FOUND MICHAEL PALMER'S NEWEST NOVEL "THE SOCIETY" on the shelves. :D :D :D :D :D should have seen my own reaction. first i gasped. then i sqeaked. then i stared. cuz i was racking through my brain, to check if this title existed in my head before, cuz i've finished reading all his previous books le. and then, after a 5sec scan to confirm i havent, i took the book excitedly and flipped it open to the publishing page. it said at the top. "a bantam book/August 2004" NEW BOOK NEW BOOK! i havent read a new book of his ever since eons ago! cuz i finished reading all of them long time ago. read him, if you're interested in medical thrillers. i recommend you start with "the patient" cuz that was the book that captivated me right from the beginning. :D
yea i know im book crazed. i cant help it.
and he hasnt returned me my book yet. humm. together with one other book. i wonder what book that is.
and im about 5/8 through palmer already. cuz i started immed when i was on my way to teban tuition. then was reading while watching tv just now. and was reading while msning just now. hahaha. cant really tear me away from my books la. :D but one thing though, i couldnt find chick flick books at jurong point library. not many of them. think they specialise more in thrillers. should hit jurong east lib for chick flick books :D ken follette looks good too. sci tech/medical thriller writer. wheee! i love all kinds of thrillers :D and chick flick books! but then again, i read almost everything.


OH. was reading cleo this morning [i NEED to have reading materials wherever i go la. so i bought cleo when i realised i had nothing in my bag.] and there was this article talking about Singaporeans being a sloppy lot. and one interviewed said, "I think it's shocking when people wear slippers and shorts to shopping centres situated in town! It looks so inappropriate." righttt. so it is inappropriate to walk around town for lunch in pe attire? im sure plenty students do that. we look sloppy? we cant help it though. im damn sure i'd be wearing shirt shorts and slippers very often around town next time when town campus is done. i mean, i cant be dressing up 24/7 just to go SCHOOL right? school is a environment for us to study. i do not need to dress up just to fit in with the environment right. i know, we need to respect others and ourselves, hence we should dress up [if you understand what im trying to say here.] but hello, i need comfort in my learning environment and i darn well dont need nice classy clothes to study. HMPH. can i help it if my sch campus is in town?
bahhh.

joycet just told me she's gg penang from 6th to 10th june! and my birthday is right smack in it! WAHHHH. just pelted her on msn with crying emoticons and the whining one. sniffsniff. joycet pao qi wo le. and fishball got her kw. wahhhhhhhhhh. SNIFFF. [this part is to make joycet feel guilty. MUAHAHAHA.]

wahhh. after exams seem to be doing bad for my brain.
i cant seem to blog properly now. think im still mentally dead after last night/this morning. hahaha.
like seriously.

had finance paper yesterday. which was the worst nightmare ever. buanged it left right centre, worse than MA paper. couldnt do more than half the questions and it was 42 mcq, 18 true false questions. bahh. anyway its over. finally :)
the long awaited liberation.
and last night was total madness! hahahaha.
usual 5 of us went to toa payoh to meet their friend, astee to kbox. and we kboxed from 7pm to 3am! 3 full solid hours! and we only paid for the 7-12midnight slot i tell you. we just dint leave after paying, and they dint chase us out. well, not until 3am when they were about to close. hahaha.
then we split up and cabbed to astee's place for mahjong. and along the way we met with a police road block. first time in our lives! hahaha. jia was sitting in front, so she was fine. but me and xin, we were at the back and we dint bother with seat belts. so we were frantically pulling at the seat belts and mine was stuck. simply cuz i was tugging too hard. hahaha. and our taxi uncle was damn funny, he was like "aiyoh chill.. in front still got car.." hahaha. meanwhile, elaine was saying in their cab, the taxi uncle was panicking instead. but partially cuz they hit the roadblock first mah. hahaha.

reached astee's place and set up mahjong table. started playing mahjong and my brain was dead by then. zha hu-ed once and i was so blur about it. then i got a crash course from all of them about what to look out for, the tais and everything! ended up i was damn stressed [over mahjong, yea you heard me right] and wasnt looking at the tiles on the floor. hahaha. paid tuition fees for mahjong but it wasnt alot la. hahaha. thanks girls for such a wonderful 12 hours of kbox and mahjong. we should do it again during the 4 month break!

then i rushed home. slept on the bus for less than an hour cuz 157 was damn fast! went for tuition @ rach and realised there was no way i could make it down for beyond wsg this afternoon. changed plans and hit home instead. so i slept from 2-7pm. and im still sleepy. with a headache loooming about. bahh.

feeling a little lost though. hols have officially started and i dont know where to begin. starting training on my own on monday i guess, now that kailyn cant work at ducktours with me. stupid ocbc, for offering her the intern. bahh. hahaha. dear no offence yea? so roam around town alone on monday. then tues need to go back sch for events meeting. then meet kailyn! decided to push part 2 of training to wednesday. then kailyn can come roaming around town with me. wonder if steamboat/mahjong still on at anna's place on thurs..
i should start working soon. hurry up train, research and pass the assessment. at least then, i wont be passing the 4 months hols in a sense of blur-ness. and before i start whining and complaining. hahaha. i need to plan my holidays. :D

YAY! camp photos are out. reminds me of the memories. will attempt to sort it, put it on an online album and show you guys. soon.
prolly not tonight though. im really sleepy. and im editting junhui's blog for her.
html is funnn :) yea im mad i know.

Thursday, April 14, 2005

know what i enjoy doing after each and every paper?
i simply love to pack away my books and papers for that particular subject, knowing that i wont have to see it again [hopefully*crosses fingers*] and keep them nice and neat AWAY behind the glass panels on my shelves. wahahahs.
its a habit of mine. to pack everything away. and if i ever need them, i know where to find it. and there is this indescribable feeling of seeing the pile of books and notes get smaller and smaller over the week. when i finish a paper, i cant wait to come home and pack them all away. especially when its an open book paper. all i need to do is to file them nicely and put them in order behind the glass panels. books with books, files with files. no extra papers lying around. whoa i love that feeling of having nothing on my table and bed except for novels and laptop! :D hahaha.
pardon me cuz i just finished biz law today.
one more paper left, one more finance and thats it!
actually most people were liberated today, after biz law. and alot of people had to suan me and xin about it. like "where are you guys going ah? hee." knowing fully well that me and xin still has finance tmr. oh whatever lo. like i give a damn. HAHAHA. kidding la.
anyways finance is open book with 60 mcq questions. dunno how to do, tikum lor. HAHAHA.

im a little mad already. supposed to be doing abit of work before american idol results show, but im blogging in notepad listening to music on my laptop. HEEE. ladida.
and i should start thinking of what songs to k for tmr's kbox session. if not, knowing jia's songlist, it will be full of SHE and twins. hahaha. and oh elaine! i managed to get my 8days in the end. now i know why its sold out at most places, cuz they have the top 20 most talked about bodies! haha. and classy wong lilin is in it. thought fiona xie would top the chart, but apparently its maia lee with her tatoos! hehe. oh wells. and julian hee is in it too! damn cute :D cant stand it. hahaha.

I WANNA WATCH SAHARA. I MUST WATCH IT. plenty of time for that next week. hahaha.
from tmr to saturday evening, i will prolly get less than 2 hours of sleep. and that 2 hours of sleep will start from toa payoh early in the morning on bus 157 when i rock my way home. cuz there's kbox and mahjong starting after finance tmr. then stayover mahjong at astee's place until next morning. but i gotta reach home by 8.. cuz i have tuition at rach at 10! hahah madness aint it. so im intending to sleep on 157 and rock my way home on the bus. so as long as i have my baby zen, it should be alright. hahaha.

friday: finance @ 2pm. kBox @ 7pm.
saturday: mahjong at 0000. tuition @ 1000. beyond wsg @ 1400. nothing at night, so .. FISHBALL are we having dinner? grin.
sunday: tuiton 1000 - 1800.

actually. if i had the time over this weekend, i would love to go for the dance movie screenings at the stadium waterfront, just outside singapore indoor stadium. think its $16.. and they are showing movies like "shall we dance", "honey", "dirty dancing" etc if i dont remember wrongly.. mm. but the only time i have is sunday night i think.. and it ends at 12 midnight, which equates to no transport home. dont know if kailyn is interested. shall ask her later. or tmr. provided if they still have tix. :D think she might be interested. :D i think. hahaha.

something came to mind today when we were talking about kbox and clubbing.
people who k songs usually dont club. people who club usually dont k songs.
i mean, ultimately there are occasional people who do both ktv-ing and clubbing. but really seldom. think people like cq. and doug. hahaha.
are there people who dont club and dont ktv? that will be real. weird. heh.
cuz i think the people who club are more ang-moh whereas the people who k songs at least know chinese songs and follow the latest chinese songs. and people who k songs are more.. homely whereas people who club have a more active night life, more party-ish. that's what i think la. at least thats what i see.
this two groups of people are very different. such that these two groups of people dont mix around that much. i mean, we do but our closer friends usually belong to the same group. get what im saying? im not surprised if you dont. hahaha.
and i admit, i love KTV-ing! hahaha. and i hate clubbing. the smoke, the thongs of people. bahh. and i dont have transport home late in the middle of the night, neither do i have rich friends who have cars to fetch me home and i refuse to spend $10odd 20 bucks on cabfare just to indulge myself in smoky air and die of passive smoking before im hit 40 years of age. and girls if you're not careful, sure kena grope. so there. HAHAHA.

which explains the type of friends i have as well. :D maybe not kailyn though. i mean, she clubs occasionally. but thats cuz she has a car. or plenty of friends who have cars who can send her home. the disgustingly rich med people who are nice but just have too much money, plus cars. similar sort of people you can find at smu but i dont hang around them.

OH. must remember to keep thursday evening free. steamboat cum stayover at anna's place. right darling? hahaha. must remember.
16 more minutes to american idol results show. 16 more minutes to my yoghurt. :D strawberry yoghurt.
bahh. but i ate venezia icecream just now! cuz four of us went taka for lunch. gina met charlie for lunch, hence leaving me jia xin and elaine. and jia is MADD already. haha we all know why. :D ultimately we did hit town for a while, albeit for lunch only. lunching in town twice during exam week! hahaha. first tuesday, now today :D grin. and i bought doughnuts! one for myself one for my sister. :D and we had venezia icecream :D whee.

know something. fiona xie eats EVERYTHING and her bod is still like THAT. in moderation of course.
i eat everything too! and my bod is like ... ... well i do eat everything in moderation. except for chocolates? especially dark chocolates. HAHAHHA.
im going high high high high high. isnt it obvious?!?
FRIDAY 5PM!!!
which is in 26 hours time :D

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

back from american idol.
dint eat my yoghurt cuz i realised mummy bought small coconuts home! :D whee. yummy sweet white flesh and cooling juice. simply what i need on a hot thursday afternoon while watching the results show. thankew mummy :D
im a mummy's girl by the way. really :D
aiyah im a homely person la. i like the idea of just staying home, reading a book, watching tv, playing computer games [which reminds me. to buy the chinese game i saw at je popular!!], listening to music. it just feels nice. of course, not too often la. i crave to be out with friends and enjoying life as it passes too. am i contradicting myself? i think i am. hahaha. simply cant wait for the nus and ntu people to finish exams :D wheee!
and i just finished my doughnut. im such a piggg. hahaha.
but pigs are smart. not dumb. im serious! nana = pig = smart? HA HA HA.
aiyah im just madd la.
and i still aint studying. time now is 4.54pm and i just finished reading 8days. OOOPs.
and listening to renee olstead at the same time. i loveee her voice to bits. she's like the male version of buble.
and jazz is not crap music. jason teo, you just dont know how to appreciate good music lor. HAHAHAHA.
the arrangment of the music, the playing of instruments like the piano and the sax.. ahhhhh.

i really should get back to finance. like seriously. but but but.
fine. he just scolded me lor. for not studying. and threatened not to return me my book. or rather, he said 2 books. but i only remember having one book with him. whats the other one? *ponders*
fine. BACK TO FINANCE. making formulae list now. hahaha.

its taking eons for my stuff to load from the smu email. plus im using my home pc now.
think its time to clear my comp, get rid of all the junk in my home pc. but i havent used it for a long time le.. prefer my lappie. would rather use my lappie than my home comp cuz all my personal stuff are inside, pictures, songs blah blah blah.

bahhhh. its taking a freaking long time and i need to print materials for tmr's exams. lemme look through it tonight first mahh. BAHH.
there's amazing race tonight! :D but the brothers were kicked out last week. blearh. :(
been catching the satelite telecast of american idol on wed afternoons, cuz i wanna leave the night to mug abit more. and the afternoon satelite telecast doesnt have any adverts, which is good.. :) i hate constantine. his eerie smug smile. oh get lost man. edmund would agree with moi. hahaha.

frankly speaking, im not really in the mood to study already.
its like 1 day 22.5 hours left to freedom. with me defining friday 1700 hours as freedom. wheee.
cant wait.
and i got an sms from jiahui!! :D havent heard from her for so long already. ever since we had exco outing at settlers cafe. lets go there for exco outing again! and hopefully, everyone will turn up this time :)

been sorting out my music files last night. and dQ has been teasing me non stop since yesterday. hahaha. thanks ah dude. :P but somehow, when i exchange msges with him, i feel as though im msging gab. hahaha. its just a similar feeling, maybe cuz the way they speak in their smses, they sound alike? shrugs.
grin. but its nice to hear from him again, after the xmas gathering we had at yy's place last xmas.

wahhh. joycet!! i'll pak tor with you after my exams :)
and leave fishball OUT. cuz she got other people to paktor with her. MUAHAHA. :D
notnot loves sotsot and poppop. and notnot wants to be like sotsot and poop on poppop. :D

figured im just rambling on and on. incoherent thoughts, jumping from here there everywhere.
im boredddd. so pardon me and my rambling thoughts.
think i should stop here. cuz i have nothing to say. bwahaha.
adios~

the group of people who went through LTB, Biz law, AS, CT and BGS. love you guys loads.. :)  Posted by Hello

man.
im so dead. so dead for ma.
have never buanged a paper like this before. or rather, maybe i have, back in jc, when i was doing the fmaths papers. it feels exactly the same, come to think about it.
jialing was saying "you'd have to live ma, sleep ma, eat ma in order to do well for this paper."
in case the ignorant ones dont know, ma = management accounting.
like damnit man, kta's papers are fucking hard. twisted and blearh? bahhh.
i might fail. or end up with a D. unless he moderates. which makes my ma grade either a C or D. bahhh.
i dont feel that tormented actually. maybe cuz it simply feels exactly like fmaths, cuz you know you've already tried, and there's nothing more you can do really. but unlike fmaths, we have plenty of block tests to buang before it comes to the real Alevels. for MA, the quizzes aint even reflective cuz they are MCQ and the final exam has only 4 long questions. bahhh.
im not exactly despaired over it. more like resigned to my fate. of having a possibility of retaking the course again? yea its that badd.
questions 1&3 were gone case. my NPV was wayyy too much. first it had too much loss. after i changed something, NPV was wayy too high. wtf?!? question 3. hahaha. i solved it the primary school way i think. addaddaddaddadd. oh i think this is the total variable cost. uhm. think i minus it after then. minusminusminus. now what do i do next? bahh. whacked my way thru question 4, thankfully i remembered that trips are always two way. hence i rmbed to times 2. question 2 is my only saviour, but its only 18 marks. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. think most people wont understand what im saying here.
fuck it.

i will concentrate on finance and biz law now. at least try to.
at least i can smoke my way through biz law. dont think i've lost my crapping skills. not after today's practice at smoking my way thru ma.
and finance is open book. so is biz law. im so thankful for open book exams.
think i've lost my touch for closed book exams. which is SHITE.
i cant memorise for nuts now.
bahhhhh.

why does it feel so much like buanging a fmaths paper?!?
when im all desensitised and resigned to the fate already.
by the way, need i mention, i never got higher than an E for fmaths before. as in hwa chong standards E. which is 50-54 i think. overall. yea. mechanics always pulled me down. for sure. i can still remember that wonderful single digit 8/43 for mechanics prelims. WAHAHAHA. uhm yea. fmaths was either an O or F. hence im quite thankful for my B ultimately during Alevels. wasnt expecting much mah. hahaha.

went town for lunch just now. ate at subway (yea again. the last time i ate subway was last friday. for lunch after interview on my way home. cuz i was craving for subway.) with elaine jia gina and xin. then we went for waffles at gelare cuz tuesday is waffles day! hahaha. imagine, 5 girls finishing 4 large waffles with icecream. HAHAHA. and xin ate the most! she may look small and petite, but the way she cleared the plates. like WHOA. hahaha. and food therapy does good to post MA. :D really. hahaha.
cant wait for friday when we kbox and mahjong our night through after finance paper :) cant wait to go high during kbox.


and thanks to the three dearies who gave me consolation and encouragement when i msged you guys to whine about ma. yeaps :) thank you guys soo much, for giving me an outlet to vent. especially yuan :) so sweet to call me :) i dint expect you to call lor. talking to you made me felt much much better. xie xie teo shu yuan :) *MUACKS*


sometimes fate plays an important part in our lives.
we're often dealt second chances and you often find that its always during the second chance, that you'll get to know the people alot better. me and yuan were just talking about it the other day. and yea, when i look back in life, i realise alot of people reappeared in my life. and now, most of them are part of my life. my closest friends.

best example: teo shu yuan :)
remember how close you me and eileen were during first three months in hc? yea i remember those times vividly. and then you couldnt stay, and went to nj. missed you terribly during j1. but as time passed, all of us drifted apart, being in different schools and all. even eileen and i drifted apart. she busy with her huang cheng and canoe, me with interact. even though we were still in the same class. and now look, you're one of my closest smu friends. in acct together, and someone whom i rely on alot. even when we're not in the same classes. someone whom i can whine to, talk to, bitch to, go maddd together during ktv. really. i really really appreciate this second chance given to me. i love you :)

example 2: poon ruoling :)
remember the first time we talked was when you passed me the netball treasury file in sec 3/4 (?) for me to have a look and model it for the hadley accounts? then i returned you your file via 402 front door/403 back door. haha and then, we ended up in the same jc class! and from there, really. need i say more? with XIAO HEI, yaya, monstar, baby bluey.. the memories we've had over two years in jc.. and then still keeping in constant contact even after parting for uni. absence makes the heart grow fonder. it does apply in your case! :D am glad we're still close. and yea, im sure this will last forever. i love you :)

example 3: him. :)
last year during camp, same group mates. but we dint keep in touch after that. absolutely zilch.
then this year, came back to be in camp comn. and i was lucky, cuz i wasnt supposed to be in, as i did PCP last year already. and i was surprised that soontien asked me to come back. and then, we got to know each other alot better during organising. and things just happened along the way.. yea.. so. what more can i say? i miss you :)

im sure there are many more examples of second chances in my life.
but currently, these are the main ones i can think of.
randomly naming off, people like. huiling. venus. gabriel.
people whom i love and treasure alot.

i dint used to believe fate existed.
i dint think there was such a thing called fate.
now.
what more can i say?
looks like there is fate in this world after all.
this is called yuan fen.
if not, why would we meet again?
[just dont tell me cuz singapore is too small. i'd *bish* whoever who says that. im sure some smartass will.]

Monday, April 11, 2005

the music list sounds weird when you mix carpenters with blink 185, bowling for soup, air supply, hoobastank and 3 doors down. yea it really does.
thats whats playing in my laptop now.
imagine, first i have a hard rocking fast song, and then the carpenters come on. then back to another soft rock song, and back to a song by air supply or the carpenters. mmmm.
oh wells.
was looking through my humongous music lib last night to help soontien with his video, but apparently i could only find one song according to what he wants. blearh. oh wells. oh and i was amazed that he remembers my exams are next week, and i have a younger sister! wahhh scary. more like good memory. hahaha.

mm. apparently my sister thinks my old cds are free to take.
cuz i just burnt a cd for her, and wanting to place it in her radio for her, i opened it and found my sClub cd inside. and she koped my "superfresh" album for her own as well. i wonder what else is with her that i dont know of. why is she listening to sClub now?!? wahahs. bought the sCLub album when i was in sec 2 i think.
that was when cheesy pop songs were still the rage. and i was crazy over A1. hahahas. and backstreet boys, cuz of the prefects dance! :) and of course, i still think nsync's "no strings attached" album is the best pop album ever. without a doubt.
oh man. those were the days. sec sch days.
recently i was in a poppish fever, and went to search for all the old pop songs. especially those performed by the prefects, those BSB songs. hahaha. deep impression huh.
then just a few days ago, i was in a rockish mood. which explains why im listening to simple plan, 3 doors down, blink 182, bowling for soup etc. not the hard rock kind, somewhere in between.
and a few weeks ago, i was in a jazzy mood. which explains renee olstead and michael buble.
and. and. quite some time ago, i was in a world music mood. which explains the weird tracks i have that my sis scrunched up her nose at when she was looking at my music library. she was like "jie, you listen to arabic music?!?" HAHAHA. not funny darling. :)
i realise, im usually not in the hiphop mood, cuz i just simply dont like that genre of music. HAHA.
OH. and of course, not forgetting new age, gregorian music. heard from miranda the gregorian new age festival is coming to esplanade late june early july. IT SIMPLY CANNOT BE MISSED.
gah. better check out the esplanade website. see whats coming.
AND. tix sales for arts fest opens today! wonder what will be interesting to catch then. someone was asking if i was interested in swan lake. yea i am. but the tix price is HIGHHH. [i think. havent checked it out yet.] and i aint going to watch swan lake with someone whom i got to know via friendster. so end of story. haha.

i missed budak pantai's concert last night. my cousin told me it was a blast. wahhhh.
whine. and cowpat was telling me last night they might not perform in may. too shiong la.
humm. oh wells. i'll patiently wait. 4 months = at least 2 performances rights?
even by then if there's none. school will be in town. near YMCA. so i can just easily stay back in sch, study. and then pop in for budak concert anytime :) whee!
the happiness of having school in town :) the ease of catching concerts, drama performances and whatnots. :) i like. hahaha.

i've been trying to access the blogger site, but apparently it refuses to load on my lappie.
however, others like roo and fishball can still access it lei.
hence. i am reduced to doing this.
posting via hello picassa.
BUT. i wanna change the song to my blog tonight, to buble's "save the last dance for me".
looks like i cant do it now. BLEARH. Posted by Hello

my laptop is blaring loud music for the moment. so that i can be kept high and focus on MA at least until tonight. just felt like blogging, but not connected to the internet. hence blogging in notepad now. haha.

had an eventful day yesterday. to keep it simple, i met roo for movie [my treat!]. we feasted in lido classic with subway sandwich [steak and cheese, we took half each :) ], subway cookies [her treat] and she ate curry puff as well. the thing is, we both had lunch before that. MUAHAHA.
caught the wedding date, and it was quite a sweet show. really. a tad show, but not bad la. i'd rate it a $6.50 show, not worth it to catch it on a weekend. next up. i wanna watch SAHARA.
in any case, do catch the pacifier. its damn funny, you can laugh till your sides ache. i had plenty fun watching that on small screen. grin. you know what i mean. :)
spanglish is not bad too, just that its ending was a tad sad. i was like, "you mean its just gonna end like that?" disappointed yea, but it covers alot of meaningful issues that could have been delved deeper into if they dint try to cover so many issues. yeaps. through the eyes of the maid. not a bad movie. just blame it on its weird opening day, such that by the time exams end, it would have ended its run in theatres. but i caught it anyway. so yeaps.
i wanna watch guess who! it looks damn funny. black family with a white son-in-law to be. teehee. hahaha.
anyways, bought roo her belated birthday pressie and she chose it herself! :) she's 18!!
acks. she wanted me to get him to come down so that she could have a look at him. but he wasnt free. hahaha. amused. very amused. teehee. (:
oh and "the wedding date" was playing michael buble songs non stop! ahhh. i was swooning all the way through. and when they played "save the last dance for me" i tugged at roo excitedly and told her that was my fave song in his second album! and she was commenting i swoon at the mention of wilber pan [cuz he's cute wat.], budak pantai [cuz they are damn good and funny!], michael buble [cuz his songs never fail to melt my heart :) ] and him [mm. i dont swoon at the mention of him. i merely FHC. got difference ah. and well, cuz its him. haha.].

had a rough night last night.
lets not talk about it.

ooh. and i went for interview today! :)
if everything goes fine and dandy, im on my way to becoming a tainer! its really damn interesting! :)
and the script was given to me, and she put me on the city one instead of the heritage one. mm. no difference but both looks equally fun :) hope i work hard enough to make it to the duck one real quick! :) and be a licensed tour guide! wahhh. i cant wait for work to start. its fun and work all rolled into one. thanks soo much to char for helping me out! *muacks* to char! :) terribly sweet and nice girl. wenhui better treat her right, and i hope she gets into SMU acct! your guardian angel waiting for you here! :)

now, im trying to do my ma papers. rather unsuccessfully i must say. but im trying. really trying. Posted by Hello

been listening to chinese and canto songs for the past two days while studying.
yea there's still the chinese song streak in me, just not as passionate when i was younger. and i miss the good old songs when i was younger. i just dont really like songs nowadays. even though older songs tend to be cheesy at times? yea. give me that any time really.
kinda pride myself for being able to tune to both chinese and english songs.
i mean, like what elaine pointed out once, its quite hard to appreciate both english and chinese songs together. maybe for people like me, who are brought up in a chinese speaking environment, yet schooled in an english speaking environment, we will find it easier to switch from eng to chinese and back to eng. be it for languages or songs. yeaa.
cant quite help it if the family radio is tuned to LOVE 97.2 everyday, and my sis's radio is tuned to either yes933 or perfect10. for me, its either my laptop, class95, lush99.5 or ufm100.3. tend to go for stations that are not widely listened, with the exception of class95. glenn ong and the flying dutchman never fail to make me laugh in the mornings. but i do miss the times when rod was together with them. all the mornings spent on the bus travelling to school listening to them, and clutching my stomach trying not to laugh out loud at their suaning at each other, and constant cheesy crappy jokes. those were the days man.
and i do realise, the canto version of hk songs are always much nicer than the chinese version. take for example eason chan, he's the king of hk pop and his chinese songs are always superb. but his canto songs are even better. man. just listen to k ge zhi wang, and shi nian. powerrr. hahahs. and of course, all time favourite daniel chan, though i dont know if he's still coming up with albums. gotta check with my sis on that. yeaa. :) so shuai. hahahas.

ooh good news from my sis this afternoon. rvhs chorale got gold with honours for their choir syf this year! which means, they get to perform at the esplanade this july :) think my mum is gonna scream. she cant wait for my sis to get out of choir and focus on studies for Olevels this year. uhm. uhm. i gotta stand by my sis for this one, cuz after all she is sec 4, and wants to perform one last time with rv chorale. so why deprive her of the chance? damn proud of my sis.

me and my sis have grown up alot ever since the past. the past referring to times, where two stubborn gits refuse to give in to each other, and end up barking at each others' heads all night long, and slamming the doors in each other faces. in place, we have two mature ladies, helping each other out as much as possible, bringing back snacks and tidbits each other like to eat. partially becuz we have aged [aw what a bad thing to say. teehee.], and at the same time, stress is piling on each of us. she has seen me go through depression times last year during first sem when i couldnt adapt and everything seemed to be falling down on me, in return i've seen her working late nights on her physics and chem which she really tried to slog for, yet still obtaining absymal results for it. being her elder sis, i've tried to help her along, by staying up with her, teaching her and encouraging her along the way, giving her the much needed massages, sweets and chocs. as for her being the sweet younger sis, she has always cheered me up by using our soft toys, tagging at my blog last year as anonymous people trying to make me smile in times of gloomy weather.
we've grown to understand each other much better, and we know things about each other that even our parents dont know about. thats how close we are now. if you'd ask me about this 4 years ago, i'd have never thought we could reach such an amiable situation.
nowadays, she'd drop me smses like a friend, even when we're both working in different rooms, or outside and we'd msg like friends. :) and of course, whenever im out, i'd msg back and ask her if she wants me to bring anything back for her. of course, i dont splurge on her lest she asks for more each time hehe. but i do reward her when the time comes, like for her Olevels chinese, i bought her the jay chou vcd as a reward for getting A1 + distinction. she was so proud of me, she announced me on her blog and invited jealous tags from her friends saying that their sis/kors never got them anything for the results they've got. and when she proudly showed the tags to me, i was rather amused, yet proud of her at the same time. we're showing our appreciation of each other in a different way, me on my blog and her on hers. i know she reads mine, and she also knows i read hers. so yeaps.
to my dearest simna teo wei shan, here's a big hug from your sis. *HUGS*
good luck for Olevels this year, work hard and prove your teachers wrong, cuz i know you can make it! :)

im boreddd stiff.
resultting in me doing sth like this.
koped this off am's blog, which was linked to jon's. :D

i need to try and control my dearest sis.
she asked me to help her check her ebloggy when i came online just now. her syf is tmr, and she posted a short entry, in high hopes that her major crush would leave a note for her. and when i checked her ebloggy for her, TADA the note from her crush was there. twice in two entries in two days. she was crazily happy and grabbing my arm tightly. ARGH. pain lei dearest. but pretty glad that her crush gave her that essential strength of support and encouragement for her last and final choir SYF this year. she's been whining loads about being sec4, last year in choir and as such, she'll miss her friends. yea i get what she feels, just like when i was back in sec 4. the times back in rg.. sigh. the good old times. with PSB, with the class. and a particular someone. thinking about the good old times all of us shared. dont ask me why, but she just appeared in one of my random thoughts today. maybe cuz i was looking at sec 4 class photos? plus, joycez mentioned her the other day in her blog. guess all of us still miss her loads. haii.

anyways.
today marks the start of major mugging!
did plenty of biz law todays. whee. shall aim to finish it by tmr. then maybe start on MA on wed? dunno when im gonna slot in finance though.
and im meeting huiru on thurs for movie in the afternoon! something to look forward to during the course of this week. or else i wont know how to make it past this week man. and then, for next week, look forward to sakae buffet after finance paper, which is DUH the last paper on friday! and then, liberation! :)
cant wait, simply cant wait.
i like making biz law notes, reminds me of j2 when i was making chem notes.
a pile of pens on my right, and drawing block right in front of me. one major chapter per drawing block page. COOOL aint it?
hahaha. and i miss the times when i used to draw.

when i was heading to rachs place for tuition on sunday, i saw two familar faces. two art seniors who used to teach us drawing at boon lay art centre. ms tan and .. another tall lanky geeky guy. dont think anyone reading would know who im talking about.. yea. unless you're eunice, kahyin or siyin.. but i doubt they read it. ALMOST walked up to them to say hi, but i think they wont remember me, cuz the last time i was there as an art student was when i was in sec 3. the year before i quit to concentrate on Olevels. and i dint go back to art class after that. quite a waste, yea. and i do miss the times we spent working on watercolour paintings, oil and acrylic paintings, pencil sketches.. the times we criticise each other over the paintings, help each other queue in line to wait for grading from mr yap, help each other look for scenery when we do outdoor painting, and share our resources, resultting in us bringing less materials. the times when eunice's mum used to buy us snacks and food while we paint outdoors. the innocent carefree times when i allowed my hands to paint a picture of what i wanted and thought life would be, the scenery that showed me serene and peace, the fun and jostling activities festivals and streets using watercolour paintins, and trying to emulate the seniors by creating cracks and creases on the acrylic and oil paintings.
gosh. i miss painting. and i still have my artwork at home. together with my materials, brushes, board and paper. but i think the materials cant be used anymore.
now i always pass by boon lay art centre on bus 99 on sunday mornings when i go for tuition, and i always crane my neck, to see if the doors are open. and i think if they are still split according to western art A/B, intermediate and so forth. and i think if i were there, what would i be now. and how my level of painting would be. i can still remember, when we were in sec 2/3, me and a few others were made junior leaders, and we were so proud of ourselves, leading the group in the boon lay art song whenever we go outdoor for class. i wonder if they still do it now. i remember, though we were always stressed by the final year exams that determined our yearly promotion, we still manage to scrape past it every year, with an occasional trophy or two if we were lucky enough. i wonder if they still do that.
all the childhood memories coming back to me now..

bahh. playing bridge with seniors is so stressful!
plus the fact that i havent played bridge for such a long timee..
and eugene and tim are bullying me and grace. wahh. im the only junior there.
feels weird to be calling myself junior amongst the seniors. but look at it this way, all of us are growing up. the guys are out of ns alr, and grace is going year 3 next year. and us year 2!! scary scary.

i miss playing bridge.
i miss my seniors.
i miss my class.

whineee.
tim toh is refusing to claim and wants to torture us by winning card by card. HMPH. dots.
so im just here, clicking and clicking.
and trying to bid my time and see if someone is coming online.
but i think apparently, that someone is not.
for tonight i guess.
oh wells.

ladida.
doing tax efiling for my dad and aunt now.
finding it amusing that my aunt chose to ask my dad to do it for her, instead of getting lun, who is staying with her to do it for her. ping could do it also mah. they all live under the same roof.
anyways.
as usual i suppose. the more dependable one for tech stuff. teehee. :) *ego*

anyways.
i need to exercise self control!
for everything!
managed to control myself when i stepped into jurong point lib to return rimei's book, and then i JUST HAD to walk into the library to look around. NEARLY borrowed books to read, which is immed sucide considering exams are like next week? hence i controlled myself. PHEW. if i had really borrowed books, i wont be studying for exams alr.
THEN. stepped into world of sports.
wanted to buy a new pair of teva slippers [thongs/flipflops, whatever you call them]. bought the pink striped one. so far so good.
was on the way to rachelle's place for tuition, realised i had some time to spare, so popped into westmall, initially wanting to visit the library [AGAIN?!?] but i was distracted by the newly opened world of sports along the way. stepped in and saw a damn nice pair of teva slippers which was red and orange. I LIKE! so guess what happened, i bought it.
AHHH. 2 teva slippers in one day, splurged $60 on 2 pairs of slippers.
luckily something like this rarely happens, say maybe twice a year or something? unless im on a major shopping trip la. wahahas.
i swear, i will not bring my atm card out next time when i go for tuition.
i managed to stop myself from borrowing books, but i couldnt spare myself the 2 nice pairs. teehee.

P1: nana loves teva.
P2: nana loves slippers.
> nana loves teva slippers.
[argument is sound and valid.]
too much of analytical skills. wahaha.
but seriously, teva footwear is worth the money, cuz they are comfy and nice. and not too ex also. good value for money :) my old one is about to fall into pieces. like the tip of the right sole is fraying? but this pair is about 3 years old. and has been tortured by me pretty much, especially when i brought it for camp this year. someone tortured my slippers further la. HMPH. wahahas.
hence yea, get teva footwear! :) wheee.
im happy with my two pairs of teva slippers :)
i promise i wont buy any more slippers [note i dint use the word footwear. hee.].
