The view up here.
Though I did really enjoy myself at the foursome's bbq, the gaw party and shopping at vivo today, the feeling nagged at me for quite some time, no matter how i tried to shake it off. Since last night till this morning. Yah, and edwin's blog kinda reminded me of it again just now.
I'm really already starting to act like the empress dowager as referred to by some..
I don't know what power is. Seldom find myself in this kind of position. I guess I was doing what I thought it would be good to do. To help my other friends when help is needed. And to me, the change was fine cos I'm fine with having a day with children. I always enjoy such stuff.
But not everyone does. I knew I sort of made the wrong decision. Disappointed some people. If it was me, I would be too. I knew it when I was making those calls using Edwin's phone. I don't know. Maybe I decided to change the plans when I heard SD give the "Yes, why not. Since they need help." I'm too used to making decisions after receiving some form of reassuration and confirmation from others..
Some realisations do not come to mind until others point them out to me.
I always hope that people can voice out their opinions when I asked for them, cos I'm always afraid that I'll neglect some stuff and people's feelings when I do things my way. But I know, you all respect my decisions and you all give me "the yes" as a show of moral support even though u all might think otherwise. U all are some of the friends that I really treasure...
Yet in my own selfishness, I probably left people feeling forsaken and unappreciated for all their efforts. =(
How ironic. I was so eager to help some friends when in the end, I let other friends down.
I need to learn how to strike a balance..
It does get lonely up here.

PARTyworld + HARRYPOTTER camp
Updated 28thdec
Back from ktv-ing with yishun peeps! Wow trish is so amazing with her voice. Guys -> not too bad la (LOL). I was croaking through "My Love, My Fate", forgot the bridge to "瘦瘦的" and had to look for benny for help, and then after that I just heck care, screeched along "First time" and "恋爱ing ".. Had a wonderful time!!
Dined at Crystal Jade where KL and SK ordered so many xiaolongbao n guotie... and Tsunting koped almost all the veggie left over from the xiaolongbao container. Ate happily like a glutton. Dean's list people gave us a mango sago dessrt treat.... woo!
The rest started checking results via sms at 8plus. I was so kancheong that I sent the sms b4 9pm (which was the official release time for Science Students). Then I received almost immediately a reply "your results are not released yet blablabla".. What an anti-climax. Guess I appeared really anxious n worried cos I was, so much so that the rest tried to calm me down. And they were nice enough to sit with me at crystal jade till 9pm to check my results together. =D Of course, i also suspect that they were waiting for the dean's list treat lah. Still, really thanks. Felt v emotionally supported through that 15min of waiting =)
So to reward you all, here's the link to my HPcamp photos which are mostly candid shots. Too lazy to whip out my camera to take zi lian photos. And also to summarise the major events of the camp, here are some collages:
Day 1 started with some dry runs of the telematches. I found this sweeping broom game particularly entertaining cos it seemed so hard to sweep the ball into the goal. Huihua, Chaiyen and Xiqian playing! Me and Kenglim's game on the other hand was simple and slack hehe that's why got time to take pics.
Telematch dry run: Balls up high in the fairies'garden. Sk the paparazzi spotted (and caught)running towards a scandal out of nowhere.
BBQ in the rain: hahaha we were all drenched from head to toe while trying to bbq the hotdogs, otahs, stingrays, satays... Cos it was Junli's birthday that day, his brothers decided to give him 22 fishballs and a memorable dunking opportunity in the rainwater puddles after cutting his birthday cake. LOL. Somehow that sparked off a chain of events... which led to the same mishap happening to 4 other Yishun people. Presenting the 4 happy and willing victims:
Xiqian's experience: First he was tricked into thinking that we invited him to witness the cutting cake ceremony and hence he was posing v happily. Then after the cutting ceremony, he was told of what was going to happen to him... and hence u see his struggling (look at the blurred image) and ... also "the end of him" in the dark. The other 3 also received the same treatment and procedure... I laughed until I wanted to die tho after awhile become abit sian liao. LOL.
Day1 night: we finally bathed and slept on the cold cold floor. LOL. Me and xinyi stole a blanket from the boys' dormitories cos it was simply too cold....
Day2: The kids arrived despite the heavy, heavy rain. I was actually qt relieved cos I dont want the camp to be cancelled due to rain. But of cos everything was moved indoors. Dumbledore (yuanjuan), harry (rich), hermione (tsun), ron (sw), and voldemort (junli) entertained us with their little skits throughout the day in between games. And I took some pics of their final act at night before the sing-along:
Grryfindor (my group):
Hufflepuff:
Ravenclaw:
Slytherin:
Lunch was kinda messed up by some caterer auntie who claimed that she forgot it was a kids' camp and she delivered packed food with 2 spicy dishes out of 3?! Irresponsible! After that was telematch. Mine was "Devil's Snare" with Kenglim and the story goes something like this:
Devil's snare is an evil plant which caught many cranes and trapped them. Children's job is to pass the magic rings through the cranes so that the cranes will be rescued. Story kinda lame lolx. At first, it went ok but somehow I lost my patience with hufflepuff when yew thye decided to interrupt every sentence of mine with his intelligence. Could feel myself heating up and boiling with anger and it took quite a while to control my own emotions haha. Kenglim can be the eyewitness loh. I guess I went abit mad. But luckily dint shout in the end... Tried to redeem myself by being nicer to hufflepuff children.
During the "ELf, wizard, giant" game, jarett was spotted running (encouraged by other volunteers) in circles round and round the hall for god knows how many continuous rounds and everytime he'll stop to draw something at the table before taking off again. He has really bountiful energy lol.
Had a quick dinner... and suddenly heard the shocking news that Mabel suspected that she had a fish bone stuck in her throat. Whizzed her off in Wanping's pickup to the clinic and luckily the doctor extracted it out for her (for a hefty price of $45). Whew. It rained both to and fro the clinic so me and tsun were shivering under our umbrellas.. First time carrying umbrella at the back of a pickup, first time eating watermelons at the carpark, first time such a bumpy and cold ride hahahaha. Was quite an exciting experience though we were drenched like mad.
Day3: Had cereal breakfast that some kids dint like for duno wad reason. Why dont they like raisins and bananas? I used to love them wehn i was young ahha. Then it was bye-bye, packup, give thanks and qinggongyan at swensons and back to yishun and home.
The best has yet to come!
Please watch the following entertaining and classic videos to bring back some fond memories:
"are these two child and adult playing the game or dancing?"
"Junhui in the power struggle" (hope that he won't see this... lol)
HP camp was quite an experience as part of the OC. Every day we looked to the skies and hoped that it would stop raining and raining. Although there were some things that made us worried, like the super-considerate food caterer, the changing of the telematch to indoor station games and Mabel's fishbone incident, this camp left alot of memories for me cos it was that eventful. And through the planning and stuff, I knew my yishun friends abit better. Wonder if I'll go to yishun camp as an oldie volunteer next yr? =)

The Love Consultant
Ask me about love matters and I'll give u v cold, logical answers. Don't expect me to give any form of encouragement cos I dont like the idea of creating false hopes. I may be a patient listener but I'm never a sympathetic one. If I think u deserve a scolding, I'll really give u one.
Saying all these makes me sound as if I'm a robot with no feelings or love. But maybe I never liked to let love conquer me. Maybe I still don't understand what love is. Perhaps that's why I'm single haha. Either I take things too seriously, or I just think that either it's urs, or it's not. Why tire urself so much when it's not worth it.
Practical me haha.
Time for sleep!
- - - - - -
Luckily Project Alive went ok today. Shangren the great lawyer, impressed the floor by his eloquent speech (which included stealing my lines???!!!! hahaha). Edwin was as usual, entertaining pple with his love of creating suspense for NOthing. And me, the one forever trying not to stutter and smile foolishly at the audience.
Rich and Tsun's presentation I enjoyed it too. hahaha cos I'm a Yishuner mah, all the accounts they retold are all v interesting to me :)
Better get more sleep and try to recover by Xmas eve. Hope to have some fun that day!
Oh yeah, today was Dong Zhi. Dint' know that v few families actually celebrate it. I had my tummy full with preserved duck (my fav), la chang, chicken, mushrooms(with fat choi), roasted meat, lettuce, and TANG YUAN =))
Only thing that I dint like on the table was this smelly fish that was cooked with dried orange peel. How smelly is that la, dried orange peel with muddy smelling fish. hahahahaha.

Quiz from the foursome.....
Lol alot of private jokes inside the quiz leh... then so many qns i have to imagine myself as a guy.. -.- But quite fun la. After that i tried to predict how to get "Ah Chua" by changing answers.. but seems really v hard?! hahaha... Benny's characteristics are v distinct though LOL. Think Junli's and SK's are more "da4 zhong4 hua4". But I'm not a stickler for punctuality leh.. I'm always either late for 5-10min or 10min early (v seldom though hahaa).
Harry Potter camp is over... Although the heavens were making a fool out of us for TWO WHOLE DAYS cos it kept pouring and pouring like nobody's business, I was happy to see that the camp turned out fine =) At least feedback that I got from some of the group leaders n volunteers were all good, v well-organised and thumbs up!! =D More postings about the kids n our OC n the very very eventful camp later.. Now gotta prepare my speech for Proj Alive tmr though I wanna sleep so badly....... T_T Got a bad sore throat, slight fever and 3 ulcers (got 2 merged into one on my lip so that it's abit swollen), I'm going to suck badly tmr...........
Went to meet Eng Khoon to pass him PJ stuff to pass to Tiongwei just now. Just v amazed by CSC pple's energy and commitment level. After camp, straightaway they got CSCday stuff. Anw, yesterday after getting from yishun centre, I napped from 3-5.30pm, went for dinner w ps, qr n ef, then back again sleep from 10-11 until tiongwei called abt workshop. I think I was talking rubbish on the phone cos he said, "are u sleeping?" hahaha. groggy head. Wearing pyjamas and sweater now... Duno why it's so cold. Brrrrrrrrrr.
| Which one of the four are you? Your Result: You are Ah jun!! Congrats you are Ah jun, which means you are the best fisher in town. And you are a stickler for punctuality which is good. But the bad thing is, you probably look like a Ah Beng. | |
| You are Ah Chua!! | |
| You are SK!! | |
| You are Benny!! | |

leaving on a jetstar
flying off tmr... for a short trip to bangkok!!
Happy that I'm going to have a short retreat away this hols.. though part of me was thinking maybe this week isnt a good time..
I'll sleep alot on the plane. Promise that I'll still be energetic during HP camp.
Lolx. While packing things into the Yishun storeroom (which stinks of cockcroaches' smell), a thought suddenly came into my mind.. =) It was the same thing that I typed on msn without stopping to think..
"CSC brought me friends"

I have no affinity with IT stuff
(backdated: Saturday 9/12/2006)
Lols, seems like I'm forever having problems with my pc. Cant wait to get a new one next year, when windows vista comes out... I CANT GO ONLINE =( Thus cant fix my blogskin problems too, so bear with it for a while if you are reading this..
Today I was crapping ALOT. From morning till night. To quote somebody, I was "super amusing and easily amused". Happy and relaxing life, cannot meh? Went for a regular HCA visit to Uncle Oscar's house, where I had my "Cooking Lesson 2".. Uncle Edwin, you should have come join us, cos you missed out on our great beehoon!! Yes, I'm not kidding. This time, everything went right, the beehoon was well-mixed, cooked and un-burnt. N the whole cooking lesson turned out to be a fantastic laughing experience. Couldnt, couldnt stop laughing at ourselves. Tianlye was super impressed with his first-time cooking skills. Usually too many cooks spoil the broth but in this case, us crowding around the single wok produced quite a good result. Cheers to teamwork!
Came out with some nick-names that only us HCA peeps and Uncle Oscar will know. Names that are easy to pronounce and remember us by =)
1) Tianlye - starring as "Lai-lai" or "Lei-ge" or "Lightning God"
I hope you google yourself again and find me bad-mouthing you like what you said. MUAHAHAHA.
2) Jiancheng - starring as "KC"
It was supposed to be JC, his initials but Uncle Oscar heard it as KC, so KC it'll be. Doesnt sound bad.
3) Yuet Ting - starring as "Ann"
Alternative to Mayi or Ant. lOlx
4) Lelian - starring as "Lilian"
This gotta be the easiest to pronounce name to the Eurasian Uncle Oscar..
5) Taiqin - starring as "KING"
LOLx. Qing eventually became King.. so funny. Imagine him on a king's throne...
6) Shangren - starring as "Chandran" or "?"
HAHAHAHA, this has to be de best cos Uncle Oscar asked him, "How come you have an Indian name, you look like a chinese!" Almost died laughing.
I love visiting Oscar. He's such an interesting guy. Optimistic, humourous and grandfatherly. No wonder all his neighbours are his friends. I don't know how to put my thoughts into words, but he did struck me as more like a normal old man, rather than somebody who was not physically well. He looks physically quite fit at least when he is sitting down. But when i accompanied him to the market today, I noticed that he couldnt walk properly and he was really out of breath after walking a short distance. The way how he took things in his stride and with pride... left me filled with admiration.
- - - - -
Finally had a mini-gathering with my sec school friends. Hahaa, all I can say is..
"Secondary school friends are those that will stay with you all the way" =D We can do absolutely nothing, we can meet up only once every 4 months, but each time I can go home feeling v happy that I've met them in my life...
More blog posts to come, maybe after Yishun camp?
Though I always complain of work, meetings and work, I still love Yishun n HCA very much =)
In a v feel-good mood today!

Some lunch that I whipped up... umm. Doesnt look v appetising. Next time stick to instant noodles la.

Spot the difference btw these 2 pic.. Remember to put on ur blanket b4 u sleep

The haze and my chinese teacher
Bumped into my primary school teacher GAO LAO SHI (GLS) yesterday somewhere in chinatown =D
She couldnt recognize me at all LOL. So in her very very well-pronounced mandarin, she politely asked me, "You are??..."
Not wanting to appear rude or funny, I contained my laughter and spoke in my "best mandarin": "Ma3 Yi4 Ting2. Do you remember me?"
Then she went, "haha, MAYI. Wah, I cannot recognise you at all?!"
She was my teacher from 1996-1998. The type of teacher you hate because she's super strict, but also the type you love because she's really nice and encouraging and makes chinese lessons interesting. Lol. Still can remember she was the teacher who spanked me with her wooden ruler till it broke cos I always forgot to bring my homework (but I did my work, ok?).
Still, me, Ammily, Huimin & another girl.. were her pets. LOL cos our chinese were quite good then =) Now CMI. So we became her 4 group leaders. Who actually do all the sai kang like collecting "xi2 zi4" exercise books and carrying them down 4 floors to the staffroom. There was once she was in a great bad temper. I was struggling with the weight of 40 books and I couldnt carry down now the stairs so i went back to the classroom for help. For some reason, she became really angry. She took all the books from me and THREW THEM all down to the floor a few metres away!!! Left me rather shocked!!! Luckily she dint throw at me, or else I would have had childhood trauma hahaha.
For children's day, she always gave us meaningful and useful presents. One year she gave this v cute mechanical pencil with an owl with eyes that moved from side-to-side. You know mechanical pencils meant the world to a pri sch kid last time?
NOT like some other lousy mouse of a P6 form teacher who gave us country erasers --> not thoughtful, and still nagged at us every single day all the way till PSLE just because she was stressed tt she was teaching the only EM1 class in e sch. As if EM1 paved the path towards good results in UNI like that.. she was just worried abt herself. Selfish and of cos, stingy. LOL.
Yups, back to the conversation:
GLS: Your batch was the best that I've ever taught. My students nowadays are not
as good! They don't give me A-stars anymore.
Me : ahha. This year also got haze, cannot blame them for not getting their stars!
GLS: HAHAHA. Only you will remember such things...!
It was an old joke lah. In our pri5 year 1997, there was the haze that last for months. GSL joked that she dint blame our class for not getting as many A*s as expected cos the haze kept all the "stars" from view.
Super lame joke. But that comment did motivate us for better results in our P6 year. =)

100m sprint: long finished!!!
Milling around with the crowds on the spectators' stand now..
Actually it seems like I've finished my exams a long time ago. Only a few days mah!
Yups, I've been slacking and enjoying myself quite alot =) So was quite happy for the past few days...
Last night.. some things made me very very very pek cek. Haiz. I don't know why, but everytime I get excessively angry and agitated is by the same old reason and circumstances. And I'll get angry at myself for being weak and succumbing to pressure and nasty words.... then the cycle repeats. I don't see myself reacting the same way when I get angry at other people.
Actually such times of anger are countable.. and I can remember every single one of them. Anger, disappointment, disbelief and the feeling of being wronged.
So moral of the story: Don't make me angry or you'll regret it. hahas.
Ok, vented all my frustrations!! Time for more light-hearted stuff. And some silly photos!
Peishan is down with fever =( Cant meet her liao. She's so nice, she bought me deathnote dvd... =)

100m sprint: 60m mark
Starting to see the finishing line.. but i'm panting like mad already..
Will there be a nice big sundae waiting for me there?
Bumps are manifesting on my face.. cant get anymore uglier than this..
Saw Vivian and she asked me, "Ni sheng bing ah?"
lolx... no i'm not. It's just the exams hahaha. Tsunting was also at the same mpsh and she was jumping around, saying "Die already die already".
haha, sama sama lah.
Oh yeah, manis couple was especially sweet together today. Gong tong huan nan ya. It's a joy to watch them =).
...
Heard somebody playing piano/playing piano music outside my room.. I long to go and play my piano too! Except that now i've dropped to maybe only like grade 2 standard after abandoning my piano in dust for other stuff..
Anw, the past 3 exams.. All flew past like dreams. Cant say that I did badly for all 3, but yups, nothing good either hahaha.
Everyone jiayou ok? Don't be stressed, cos it won't help =) Don't look back on past mistakes too, cos there are still 2 more papers to make it up on. Give it ur best everyone!
Want to bounce around on a vast, empty field like a rabbit... hmmph. In a simple world of my own.

A test From sleepysnail's blog
WOw, suddenly gained some insights into my mind. Quite startled at how true some parts are.. like the hopes and desires..Y
"You are trying to prove to others that nothing can really affect you. You are pretending to be stoical - indifferent to pain or pleasure and indeed even superior to any form of weakness. As a result, more often than not, you unfortunately act with undue harshness or severity by adopting an autocratic and self-willed attitude.
You are a very warm and emotional individual but unfortunately in the past too many people have taken advantage of this sensitive trait. You need aesthetic surroundings, or an equally sensitive and understanding partner with whom to share a warm understanding.
You are trying to break away from the mundane existence that you have been experiencing of late. You have many high hopes and ideals but you are concerned whether circumstances will allow you to realise these ambitions. You want to spread your wings - to broaden your fields of activities - but you are concerned that your dreams are just that - 'dreams' which are not realistic. It concerns you that you are not thinking clearly at this time - what you need is to get away from it all, to give you time to think. A short vacation could well restore your confidence.
As of late, you have been experiencing untold stress and this is a result of continuous frustration. You haven't been taking care of all your physical needs and it's beginning to show. It would seem that you have a need to find someone to whom you can really relate - someone perhaps whose standards are as high as your own. You want to be different - to be individualistic - to stand out from the common herd. Your inherent control of your sensual instincts is restricting your ability to give yourself to open up freely but this being on your own, being lonely, often makes you feel the need to give up some of your strict standards to surrender to the general flow - to be like everyone else; a part of the herd. Deep down you regard such instincts as weaknesses to be overcome. You would like to be loved or admired for yourself alone. You demand recognition and tender loving care.
You are afraid that you may not be able to realise or achieve your hopes and desires and so you insist that people should accept you as you are and appreciate your rights to anything that you aspire to."

Resolution: to keep all memories
Talking to xinyi tonight brought back some memories...
People always say, the good memories will always stay in your mind. Forget the bad, keep the good.
But on impulse, I once tried to get rid of some memories by throwing some things down the rubbish chute. Told myself that I wouldn't want to look at them and get reminded of them in the future. All in an attempt to rid feelings of...guilt?
These days, some recollections kept creeping back. Really surprised that I could suddenly recall some events that I had conveniently forgotten about for the past year. And amazingly, I felt kind of happy thinking of them. I was happy then. I never appreciated them so much in the past. What was I thinking?
It was all part and parcel of growing up, right?
Yes, so from now on, I vow to not throw away memories again. Happy or not, I'll keep them with me. Cos I know no matter how bad things get, one day I'll be able to look back and smile at them. Like now. =)
Some things are just destined to be ya.

eight-legged ant
Funny. There are a few spiders in my pgp room. I thought spiders only live in deserted places which are left unoccupied for long periods of time?
Doesnt apply to my room cos I'm almost here everyday except the good old weekends. Hmmm.
Anyway, I feel bad for squashing these spiders to their death. Yes really. Cos they arent disturbing me and they look really harmless. Long, thin legs that are broken easily, and a v small body. It just looks like an ant with 8 legs. Like me.
But I really cant have spiders and cobwebs in the corners of my room... In case they scare away any visitor. Mind you, my room is really clean and is regularly mopped using my MAGIC CLEAN mop.
Sighz, I must have sounded really bored typing out the death of an innocent spider.
Was in quite a good mood for the whole of today. Cos I met some nice people, including a nice driver who stopped to let me board the bus even though the bus had pulled out of the bus bay and was heading towards the traffic light and I was NOT frantically running for the bus. I've always admired those who take pride in their work =)
Treated myself to Ajisen even though I've burnt multiple holes in my pocket after yet another trip to the dermatologist. I call this food therapy. Studied with Huimin after that.. she couldnt concentrate. Even worse than me haha. Haiz, even she noticed that I've grown horizontally. ARGGHHH, must do some real exercise after this food-infested exam period..
Then, somehow, going back to my room.... felt some loneliness sinking in. Why? On some days, the tranquilty of my room is so welcoming. But on nights like this, it's dead silent.
Ok, I'm just plain sick of studying.
Hence I'm here doing some self-entertainment.
- - - - -
Good News:
I might be going to Eason Chan's concert after all.. with bro and mum!! Mum really dotes on us!
Amm's really sweet. She emailed me a song to motivate me for exams. While she's probably shivering cold in beijing now... Kinda miss her bubbly-ness and sweet smile..
And, Brother + Fiance are most probably buying a HDB unit near my house.... 16 floors below my house unit. Yes, u havent seen wrongly. They've found a flat that they liked very much, and it turns out that it's in the same block as my house, same unit and design!!!
Plus, they get to use the grant given by the govt for living in the same estate as their parents. haha.
If all goes well, yes, me and my extended family (which only consists of my bro's fiance) will be living under one roof literally =D. Can just take the lift down and be a lightbulb every now and then =)

Mouth watering
I'm so so so hungry!!! LAPAR!!
No dinner till maybe 9plus pm? =(
Sitting by my study table now... with the Medicines Act strewn all over. Attempting to mug without falling asleep, like what happened for the past 2 days. I should be panicking now, but i'm not. Aiyo.
Really duno why i'm tired despite sleeping for on average 7hrs a day. While people can mug overnight... I'm so impressed by them!
Been watching abit of Project Superstar here and there... And most of us agree that ya, there's no orang tampan (handsome guy) among the contestants!! *disappointed* hahaa. Maybe this time they are trying to focus more on talent? More interested in watching the girls sing though. =)
Actually, there are alot of people in this world who can really sing. hmmm. Really must have something special in the voice to stand out among all the singers. Inborn or cultivated through singing techniques and lessons..
Was watching some commercials... and found out that Eason Chan is coming to Singapore for a concert in January 6th!!! Made me feel like watching!! But watching in HK will be even greater, cos in cantonese he'll be even wackier. And the tickets sold in HK are generally cheaper than in Singapore...
Still, as compared to the price of Rain's concert tickets, all other tickets are still considered cheap. The lowest price for the lousiest seats is actually $188?!?!?! I believe many crazy fans will buy the $488 and above tickets just to watch him take off his jacket/top (like what he always does in concerts) up close. LOL.
$488 sing dollars leh. You can buy so much with that amount of money! But for some, maybe it's a once in a lifetime opportunity.
Ok, shouldnt crap any further =)
Thinking of new york cheesecake and lobsters now.... sighz

You cannot build confidence overnight
Firstly, I want to complain!!!!!
This dumb towel that cost me $6.50 from pgp mini-mart..... keeps dropping its hair or fur onto me!!!! Cos I dint bring my bath towel from home. =/ Now every day after I bathe, I'll find these stupid pink fur stuck to my face and body. Don't be surprised if i go around dropping pink fur for this week... Cant wait to get home to get a new towel.. What a waste of money. I might as well go and use toilet paper to dry myself.
...(dots)
Anw.. .today was ES Presentation..
Despite having some technical problems,
Despite the fact that my part was a total flop cos of the sudden mental block and all the stuttering that followed,
...today was still a not-bad-day haha. Why cant words just flow naturally like how I usually speak? I guess confidence can't be built overnight. I'll just have to continue to improve on the way, n probably by the age of 60, i'll be a good presenter. The rest did well though =)
Thanks to my crappy but wonderful ES groupmates who brought so much laughter to this long and sians project + presentation.
I dint know the pro wanCHEE (say it while baring all ur teeth) is capable of so many NGs... like Take 5? hahaaha.
Bapak Edwin's most frequently made mistake "ideally, u should exercise 3 times a DAY"
and Winghang's cute presenting skills and not forgetting her super swee swee videos =D Uploaded on Youtube somemore. *faints in laughter*
Thanks xinyi for encouraging me hehe. Thanks Tracy for listening to me whine.. n sharing your own presentation experience too. Ya, why are LTs/rooms so freezing cold anw? Thanks to Huimin, who happened to be at arts canteen for lunch too, for buying me chin chow and delivering to my table...
had 2 sleepovers over the span of 4 days. HAhaha. I'm not a light sleeper after all. Slept like a pig till morning on both occasions.
Actually got many things to blog about. Like many weird theories that I've heard from people.. which i have so much to comment on. GRRRR. But i better not start or else I'll never get to studying...
how many days more to exams? Around 9days
how many weeks more to hols? Around 15 days!!
Yippee! I'm going to bangkok for hols =)

LSM
The first half of the pharm class who are taking LSM2101 this sem must be all scratching their heads and pulling their hair out right now...!!!! I'm just one of the unfortunate few..
Back from xinyi's room... xiuxiu and xinyi still hard at work there. I'm succumbing to sleepiness. =) Studying with friends may not necessarily be more productive for me, but it's certainly much happier and more lively. And I can whine, sing, or crap whenever i want lolx. Sure beats stoning alone in my room. Though there was xinyi to msn to today hahaha.
Yup then i realise, you are never alone, unless you choose to be alone. Friends will always be there for one another =)
Jiayou Jiayou....RUN RUN RUN

Jiayou Jiayou....RUN RUN RUN

Losing track of time
Just bit into a rotten pear which looked perfectly alright on the surface =./ Had to peel another apple instead.
Dint have any proper dinner tday... But haha RVP meeting wasnt that bad...xiqian was entertaining as usual.
I nearly fell asleep while sitting there, but then got rudely kicked awake by Shundeng beside me -_-
Luckily got ritchie to ferry us...... save myself from walking back to pgp or from waiting for half an hr for a bus.
Maybe some time later, I'll go and learn driving. And earn enough $$ to buy myself a car!
Life is good with an aim in mind. Stay focused, don't be distracted anymore. =)
3 more weeks to go!

Stress Relief - One Eye Monster
Remember the long ago arcade game in which you have to hammer all those crocodiles/whatever-monster when they come popping out of their holes?
lol.... This game that i was playing last night is similar to that.. Simple, almost brainless but nevertheless fun and addictive.. All you need is concentration!
Try if u are bored from mugging.. it helped to wake me up cos there's no instructions to the game. You need to observe to know the rules.
Play it here:http://www.kiteretsu.jp/on/tontie/tontie.swf
*xinyi, don't try it.. u'll find it childish hahahaha*
I cant play it on weekdays cos the laptop number pad is not as convenient as the pc keyboard =(
Full moon tonight. Wow it's like 1 month after Maf already. Guess what I saw? HAHAHAHA.

Never have I felt so horrified and malu-fied before. This REALLY REALLY sucks.....
I want to sleep my weekend away. So dead beat... aching all over. Blocked nose and sore throat..
One of the greatest joy in life is... to EAT!!! Have been putting on weight the past 2 months.. unintentionally. now i think i'm like 47kg.. 4kg weight increase will be abit alarming.. Yet, eating is so enjoyable. =P
***Ask your pharmacist (what I can rem from ppac workshop)***
Common cold and flu are two different things. Common cold is usually caused by bacterial infection while flu is caused by viruses. Fever (and tiredness and aches often accompanied by fever) is one of the symptoms of FLU, but this does not apply to the common cold.
Discovered yesterday that the analogy to Wing's hair is:
"Wing's hair is like kueh lapis = thousands of layers!"
Feel like talking to qianru. That girl saw the korean movie "MY BROTHER" on tv last night and smsed me, saying that it reminded her of that day when the "BRUDDERS" (aka me, her and ee fung) went to watch the movie in celebration of our "brotherhood". Miss her grumbling and groaning alot haha.
Lunching with Huimin tmr! Goot! =) She and her pasar malam craze.... we'll spend a long time browsing through things that we won't even consider buying in the first place.. Ok... better start studying...!

My suami
HAPPY BIRTHDAY suami Xinyi!!!!!!!!!!!!
The girl who was hi-bye friends with me and is now qi-xin good friends with me... has turned 20 years old today! =D
*cheers from the ACACIA pharm-ily* (die, I think we have so many private jokes now...nobody else will understand us anymore.)
Yups... thanks for being so sporting and finishing all the simple but 'taunting' tasks in our mini-orientation game + treasure hunt for your birthday present... hahaha! Don't complain, i'm sure u enjoyed urself, esp. wanchee's task right? =p
Mine's so easy to complete!!! HMMph.
And must use the presents okok?? And thanks so much for the lovely icecream treat..... Made my tummy so round. Next time must try the takeaway icecream too. Forgot the name of the icecream place le. I've developing a habit of eating sweet desserts (are there any non-sweet desserts anw) even after filling up 100% of my stomach heheh. Maybe I'll start regretting when i grow into a jolly plump woman in 20 yrs time.
Waraku Japanese Restaurant is quite good!! Though maybe the sushi tei dinner last time was better... and xinyi only ordered her salmon...not filling yah? Me and Wanchee had the same "pork and seafood udon" which came in the form of springy udon in thick creamy soup.. and really fresh scallop and prawn (good quality=sacrifice for quantity=not 100% full). Not bad! The rest ordered yummylicious sets too... too bad i haven gotten my dream SE W850i hp yet.. or else would have zoomed in to take photos like what the others did!
Whole of acacia family was there: xinyi, wanchee, edwin, wings, xiuxiu, tetapi kelvin (new step-son-in-law), lifang (new wife) ... plus sweelan. whee!
Ok... should start converting my friday nights to boring nights. Hmm, but theere's my group freshie weijian's bday party next fri....hmmph.
Anyway, I don't care much about my language when blogging. Long ago, I used to try to write everything in continuous prose, proper grammar and good sentence structure. Nowadays I just type whatever that comes into my mind haha. Getting lazy!
For some strange reason, I like studying about english pronounciation, phonetics and grammar... it's kind of fun, don't you think so? Like today's pro communication lesson today lolx.
----
Haiya, at first I dint wanna join pharm camp as cgl. Sighz. Firstly mainly cos duno when my family planning to go for short hol. Parents might not like it if i cross out so many of the possible days. Secondly, I wanna conserve energy for yishun camp, and also got bishan park outing on 10th and yishun camp meeting on 12th. Thirdly I'm no good as a camp group leader la, and the rest of acacia all are not joining.... so abit sian diao.
If really cant find pple, then i join loh. But then I'm just afraid that I won't be v onz. Sometimes for pharm stuff, I feel abit lost.

BoO!!
Had quite a rough weekend...mainly cos I was in a PMS-ing mood. Mood swings, tempers rising, irritability, headaches, cramps, all of them drove me a litte crazy.....
But things should be better tmr... feeling my spirits going up again after talking to friends today =) And my mum really understands me very well. She tried to ask what's the matter, but i cldnt bear to complain to her every weekend i go back home. Last night, when I told her at the doorstep that actually i really really really dint want to leave home for school, she appeared deeply concerned. I think she knew exactly what was going through my mind, but just that she just let me have my way to remain silent. And she's right, to a certain extent. When the time of the month comes, I'll get esp. moody. Bah!!
Do I always talk in riddles?
Although I try not to regret my decisions, I often end up feeling a little regretful. Hmmm. I'm selfish too.
Hospice visit to Uncle Oscar's house was quite fun. Me and two other newer guy volunteers Jian Cheng and Taiqin had a mini-cooking lesson!! Bee Hoon and Irish Stew. Note that I had no idea how to cook both of them, so we just followed Oscar's directions. All his recipes were HAND WRITTEN in a notebook, haha quite cute.
That day, alot of tears fell cos I was peeling and chopping up alot of ONIONS. Hehe, I was just asking, "How come people cry when they peel onions" when my eyes began to sting with tears. LOL. Was quite an experience.
In the end, we ended up with half-chao-da-ed bee hoon cos we forgot to turn the heat down. The bee hoon had a bad smoky smell it and the 3 of us "cooks" were feeling v bad cos we invited how khang and edwin to come to eat with us. Uncle Oscar kept assuring us that e bee hoon would have been nice if only it wasnt burnt, and poor Taiqin struggled to finish up the bee hoon despite us telling him not to. Apparently he thought tt he shld claim responsibility since he was the main "chef" for that dish. Luckily, the Irish stew wasnt half as bad, at least passable =) I had alot of fun trying to perfect my omelette-making skills though. The 2 guys cldnt understand why I was so obsessed with making the omelettes. Hee. The first one looked like a pancake but the second one looked better. But then again, who cant fry an egg? =p
The thing about hospice care is that the nature of the volunteer work isnt really that fun. Who really likes doing housekeeping at our age anw? It was really the friends I made that kept me there. That gave me some of the passion I have. Really do miss some of the older volunteers like Melvin, James and Victor and of course, not forgetting our "The Alternative Experience Campaign" but now they are all too busy to join in the visits..
Nobody likes changes.. When new freshies come in, we'll always compare them to our good old volunteers who hav left for other commitments. And we'll always say that we miss the old times. Does this kind of mindset pulls us away from trying to bond with the new people? This tendency to compare... exist in many other aspects of life too... But if there's no change, nothing will improve. Though, I myself, prefers sticking to the norm.... Am I really so afraid of change?
Yups... After visit, I passed by Zara and Mango and Puma. So many nice winter coats and clothes. So envious of people who live in countries with 4 seasons. And those who can witness snow and spring every year...
My parents said that they might bring me for a holiday in some nearby country this dec =). I don't mind cheap cheap hols... and it's been a long time since i've gone overseas with them. The few times were with 71 to genting, with pharm gals to Bandung and with Wings and Tsun to Hk. Maybe it's time to put aside some time to spend with my family =)
I like to see people around me to be happy too. Like Xiu Xiu now looking lots happier now that she is with her pacar, like Xinyi being happy when she has accomplished some stuff........
Perhaps I shouldnt think too far into the future. Or else I will never get enough of worrying. The future, I hope, will take care of itself. I will worry when the time comes.
Chuan dao qiao toh zi ran zhi.. Hang in there people!!

Bermain Badminton
Played a total of 3 hours of badminton today with edwin, xinyi, junli and his fren, sk & huihua!!!.. that's like really a record for me lolx. Self-motivation.
I know I'm not supposed to burst out laughing while playing but I just cant help it when I miss a ball/shuttlecock, esp. easy ones for no reason. Silly really. Will try to keep my mouth shut next time.. Had a nice time getting to know huihua better though =)
And I dint bring change of clothes so was really stinking the whole bus up =/ Now feeling very jellylike and "nua". I'll probably sleep v v early tonight..
Not sporty at all... but I like playing sports...! and I can never sleep while playing, unlike during lectures, much to my own disgust.
And I'm making some progress... keep it up =)

i'm also an escapist
It's the time of the year, when thoughts of going for a short holiday break before exams will surface in my mind again...
Always around 1 month b4 exams start. Heh. I'll feel especially slack for no reason. I'll refuse to take out my notes, and instead drown myself in doing absolutely nothing haha.
But yeah, so many pple have already planned their their hols overseas. Wanqi is goin to hk, xiu xiu going to yunnan, Wings going to canada, parents going to macau and hk in the midst of my exams (*jealous*), and my lucky brother is in HK right now. Probably braving the cold with only a thin jacket. I'm so Hk-inspired. Just being there makes me v contented. It's stupid tt how I always end up choosing to go back to hk instead of going to some other country for vacation when i have the funds to. I should go and explore other countries too. What abt Europe as a graduation trip?
and oh yeah, I'm such a sony-ericsson lover. My first phone was a SE T10. It was purple, heavy, non-colour, single 1.5cm wide screen, but small and cute. I still have it w me =) but e charger doesnt work anymore.
Looks like this if u cant remember it anymore haha. Ancestor.
then it was some nokia phone. After that, nokia 8250 and then now SE again. K700i is pretty old but it never gave me any problems these 2 yrs. Never been to e service centre, and never screamed my lungs out at my hp before. Heh. Despite dropping it on the floor and watch it rolling down the stairs many times.
I know nokia has alot of good phones in e market now, but my heart still stays with SE. There's smthing abt its "practicality" that I cant resist haha. Samsung feels strange in my hands and motorola razor's just too frivolous to me. Like how i still like my creative zen even though ipod looks so "clean and attractive".
Isnt this hp nice? White and golden leh. Very tsunting though haha. N not cheap cos of its supposedly superb walkman functions.
Flip side is tt the camera has no auto-focus. And is 2.0 megapixels good enough? I guess not. HMMmmph.
Wings posted abt her bday. Hahaa. The post is so lucu (cute)!!! Classic.

Mid-autumn festival
BOO. The zip of my brown skirt came off. =( Isnt it sad when some of ur favourite things get spoilt or old that u cant use them anymore? I dun want to buy a new one...
Mooncakes... !! mooncakes!! mooncakes!!! Still got alot at home but I forgot to bring to school....
Eefung was telling me online tt she celebrated MAF 3 times in Melbourne, though the mooncakes there was not as nice... she's coming back on 15th nov, but that's like b4 our exams?? but luckily she has attachment too till beginning of dec. After dec 5, I'll feel so liberated.
And I also celebrated MAF 3 times =p
Back at hc... where I met xiqian (lolx that reminds me of the dance ic thing) and quek and some juniors...
My jc classmates...
the guys had full attendance, while only 4 girls incl me turned up.. though my closer frens cldnt make it, it was still great seeing 71 again. Was feeling mega-seh tt night (duno was it cos of the psi 150 haze anot), so dint go for ktv in e afternoon. It seems tt nobody has changed v much. But ili said tt ZZ looked more kiddish now. HA~!
Anyway, there’s a four-in-1-entity guy gang who were best buddies in my jc class too. That’s why I dun find kenglim, sk, beni & junli they all THAT gay……. Hahaha cos I was previously already “exposed to such culture” in jc times...
my class gals =) They only get prettier and prettier.. and that applies for alot of pple who came back to hc as seniors. Or maybe it was the hc uniform's fault haha.
CSC maf... with Amunra.. if u look closely enough, u see alot of keh-leh-fehs posing at the back.
And again. 3 of them are ALL VOLUNTEERS frm yishun. Khoon hong, yiwen and junhui. Shocking right??
Pharmers with our lanterns. Been so long since i played with lanterns or candles.
Yishun volunteers are the most enthu!
2 wks ago, Weechou, Joanne and me were blinded by camera flashlights
Tsun and Xinyi...
Mabel... for Meiqi & Mabel's viewing pleasure.... =P
Actually got more photos... but it's in my pc at home....
Hahaha, guess who are we impersonating? *gesture= talk, talk, talk and talk non-stop*

i finally drank my milkshake
=)
Past few days went by in a whirl.........
Time is moving so fast that it's scary!! I love what i'm studying, (i'm not kidding, even when people think that it's weird to like things like drugs) but i wish that the tests and projects won't diminish my passion so much!......
Anw, hopefully the new shoutbox will work. dint realise that got problem for a wk already... haha. thot it was my comp's fault.
Yah, as I was saying, school is never fun without friends around. They keep u company throughout all the tough work and high expectations and i'm thankful for them. Even those times when I feel as stupid as a .. (? insert appropriate simile) And they listen to my incessant complaints (which are getting more and more frequent)... and sometimes they even share the same thoughts as me.
Enjoyed myself thoroughly during csc maf and yishun steamboat. Though after play, there's still work but i'm still glad that at least there is play before work rather than work before work. haha get what i'm saying?
Though the vicious cycle of having no time to finish assignments on time repeats cos I play so much. =p
yah, actually abit too tired to blog now ahah. but just felt like blabbering on. I'm really like typing out what i'm thinking at the same time. Seriously need more sleep next wk cos nowadays I always fall asleep in lectures WITHOUT even realising, until I almost jerk out of my seat. LOL. Thanks edwin (who has many many crazy maf photos on his blog which is slowing down my computer speed)and wings for scolding me when they caught me sleeping. hahaha wake me up!
Then, everytime after every fun night activity, I won't be able to fall asleep cos i'll still be in an "excited" mood. Maybe should do some bedtime reading with my pharmacy law notes which are as thick as a textbook. SLEEP INDUCING cool-down activity.
Chaiyen is good at bishi-bashi. Xiqian makes funny faces while playing bishi-bashi. I press the wrong button while playing bishi-bashi. Tricia is great at car-racing!!
Heh maybe I'll upload some long expired photos when i'm feeling more free.
I'm getting v easily irritated these days. Good tempers don't last.
muahhahaa, my post is very incoherent? Remember the 7Cs of ES2007 people?
Wanna wanna go shopping.
List of things:
1) black skirt/black knee-length shorts
2) pearl necklace that i regretted not buying 3 months ago
3) shoes (adidas $169? or settle for pumps?)
4) dirty-green top to wear with another skirt
5) some golden/champagne-coloured camisole to wear with another top
6) change watch battery
7) cut my fringe
8) jacket... my royal sporting house voucher still havent used yet...
9) anything nice........
10) new specs?????
where do I get so much $$$ from?
Tuition tmr is brought forward by 1 hr... 9am *faints in exhaustion at the challenging a levels questions*

a bad day turned into a good day
-overslept when i was supposed to meet xinyi to have breakfast tog at spinelli's =(
- found out my lsm ca results last night... sucks lah my results. i got like 0 or 0.5 for a 5m qn... and i had alr so many mcqs wrong.. below average =( and the thing is, i really got study. I need a computer chip or memory card in my brain seriously.
- got two big fat 0s for my dispensing test =(=( and i had such a stupid typo mistake that cost me so dearly. I'm more angry with myself than with losing the marks. And having to go for re-test which is like wasting 3 hrs of monday.
but then
-today was... shaowei's bday... hahaha..had lunch with him
-Me and the pharmacy peeps played badminton at SRC
-and went to VIVOcity with xinyi, wings, wanqi and chelsea after going to health promotion board.. THE MALL WAS SO BIG. We could tell by the spaciousness and also from the model of the whole mall in one of the foyers. And you can see the view of the causeway and Sentosa from the open-air viewing galleries. It felt like Hong Kong, which made me happy. We were saying that this is going to be a hot spot for couples after Esplanade. Should be quite nice at night hehe.
-ate at Carl's Junior....my mushroom burger. But the oreo shake was so expensive that i dint buy. Or else the meal would haf been so much better. And also xinyi's beef cheese fries. HAIZ i wanna drink milkshake.
-we went for Pharmacy MAF, although we were so late that most pple left. But there was still pomelo and mooncakes to go around. =)
-played basketball at night with sabrina, poh mun, lay nee, xinyi and bingxun. I think i'm the noise pollution of the game. Shouted and screamed for no reason and causing bingxun alarm when he accidentally knocked into me and i fell (as usual haha). But it was alot of fun =D
Havent played bball since jc days. Those days when me and s71 people would always stay back after school on PE days just to have a bball game tog. And I was one of those few gals who were "enthu" enough to play although i mostly produced entertainment more than team-playing. LOL
Yah, a happy day really depends on how you look at things and events. Yes, even when the whole world is coming down onto you and you cant breathe.
Will make it a point to find happiness in my life every day cos it is infectious..
And sometimes I think, the purpose of me in this world, is to entertain. Arent I entertaining????

Reading stars, reading our stars
ARgh... just finished tuition and then got ritchie's msg: Bishan Park Outing is postponed due to the haze!! T_T Boo. The kids like Tingyun who said that they were going, must be so disappointed.. and so am I =/ I was so looking forward to going to the park early to book the pavillions with jem, who also stays so near...
Last sem's outing was postponed due to bad weather too = rain rain rain.
Ha, havent talked about yesterday's session! Was extremely late last night, they were nearing the end of the 2nd game when I joined the kids and the facilitators... Lolx the kids were so cute. All of them admitted that they were cheating cos they all cld see through the blindfold -_-''. Told some of them that they shld have told the "teachers" if they were really honest kids ahhaa.
But the best was still... the giving out of the goodie bags (more like parcels hehe) and the special awards: most attentive, most responsive, most polite and most helpful. Each prize had 2 recipients. Watching from e front made me feel like a proud parent of all of them. We watched the kids clasping their hands in antipation (aka kusala, he looked like he was betting on horses/soccer) and trying to hide their disappointment when some of them did not get any award. Tingyun, esp, when she was one of the most guai kids. And some might have wondered, how come the naughtiest kids still got awards?
But for those who cldnt make it for last night's consolidation party, u shld have seen the joy and pride on zakaria's face... I think I'll never forget that moment.
Some people thought that we shld have given all the kids a special award each. Actually i dun agree cos it wld haf lost its purpose otherwise. And it's also one of the many times that they'll slowly learnt that life sometimes is unfair, and u might not always get e credit u deserve for what good that u might haf done. But i hope tt they know tt shldnt make u any less special than the others =)
Was thinking tt I wouldnt mind receiving such an award myself.
Change, but some things wldn't change. Throughout our whole lives, we look for the same 3 As that the kids in reading stars were looking out for: Acceptance, Affirmation and Assurance. To feel accepted by our friends and other people, regardless of the way we behave and react no matter how weird it may be. We look to others for affirmation whenever we feel unsure of ourselves, and even when we are already sure, we just want to make sure. And to be assured every now and then that we are on the right track and not digging our own graves. That's why we fish for compliments and it's not really a bad thing i guess.
I cant really describe my joy that I'm part of this yishun family.. Haha I might be exaggerating..but... ya anyway, it's fantastic watching the pairs of volunteers and kids together. e.g. puisheng & shih kwang (lol tho he was a v sad father cos puisheng for some reason, refuse to raise up his hand last night), michelle & mengyoke & tricia, vishnu and yew thye, chaiyen & shihui and the list goes on... No doubt tt the pilot reading stars programme experienced some problems and mental blocks in the process, but i guess it's really a big success with both volunteers and kids.. maybe to even safely say tt it qing chu yu lan when compared to wonderkids.
Nothing could dampen my spirits when i went home, not even those noisy fellows on the bus..
I love reading stars =) Will be feeling v lost for the coming fridays without it.

When will december come?
Lolx. I like to people-watch alot. Esp. at what other people are wearing. Dressing makes up a big part of image. And I'll be happy just seeing somebody dressed up very nicely, even when I don't own that particular nice top/skirt/shoes =)
So I'm glad I'm a human, cos we get to dress differently every day!
Keeping a balance between work and play. Tt was last wk's theme for Reading Stars but I'm not sure whether we ourselves can keep a balance anot. I realise that I enjoy doing cca stuff much more than school work, although sometimes both are considered work. Bleh. Xinyi feels the same too. Not trying to make excuses for myself, but I really think that i'm not the stuff (liao4) for studying. Just not smart or focused enough. Nevertheless, I still find joy in what i'm learning at least. No offence, but if I'm in Life Science or something, I'll probably die cos I hate looking at things like plants and genetics. If I'm in computing or mathematics, I'll have headaches everyday!
Random random random thoughts. Today's practical test wasnt that hard thankfully. We made white-chocolate-looking aminophylline suppositories, salicylic acid and sulphur cream and arachis oil and peppermint emulsion. Got time to check through and correct all my careless mistakes (which amounted to like 5 or 6). Oh yeah, I was the only one who forgot to wear my labcoat in my hastiness to start the practical, and I dint realise until the teaching assistant kindly reminded me. Haha. If i'm the TA, I would haf penalised this forgetful girl. So unprofessional!
Wow, typing those names out make me feel like a professional...
Shall go take a nap =)

I like group photos
Acacia pharmily.. in the dispensing lab. I realise tt i quite like this place.. alot of exciting ingredients for making of medication. And i like e aircon here, even its smell...
With the Grant-a-wish people and v v colourful Warner Bros characters. Ha, i just happened to be at the clubroom and I only wrapped one present
Fun at Pasir Ris Campsite, though my mosquito-feeding part wasnt that great. lOl.

gemuk (fat) day
hahaa what a good start to the next half of the semester!!
Happily ponned stats lect to sleep more. Then Mum decided to be extra nice and let me take cab back to pgp this morning =) Studied and yong-tau-foo-ed abit before LSM CA.. which was BLAH!!! So many questions wrong already. Are all lsm tests so tricky?? It gets to a point when you realised tt u sucked so much in a test, that u start to become high and crazy and develop an i-don't-care-anymore-attitude. So that's why the whole acacia pharm-ily got into a laughing and high mood, all the way to after dosage form lab and to Holland V for a scrumptious dinner -- SPIZZA + Haagen Dazz
(Desserts treat from somebody who was especially happy today for a special reason. Don't worry ya, we'll just tease u for a wk, cos we are all happy for u =))
Ate so so so much!! And laughed so much!! I think me, wings and edwin always crap alot and they do get my jokes. Finally on the same frequency =P And they also spilled food today, they are already on their way to KLUTZ-iness =D I dint know that i'm so influential.. While the rest of the family will always huh at us. HAHA!
I love my acacia pharm-ily =) School'll be so boring without u all.
Anyway, I must remember to update my links column cos u all complain that cannot link to other people's blog from here.. =( I lazy mah!

take each day, one step at a time
Usually, when we are feeling troubled, the ones that we expect to give us the most support are often our best buddies. They will lend ur their listening ears, let us shout into them and yeah, just be there silently to see you through all the storms in life.
But smtimes, it can also be one of those normal type of friends, those that you dun think of or meet up often, that may make a difference one day.
This friend of mine, saw that I wasnt feeling happy that day and in his flamboyant and teasing ways, he asked what happened. His comments were so straight to the point, they hit right home. They were describing exactly how I felt. Even though he wasnt even a close friend. That alarmed me abit, cos I felt my privacy being invaded. And so I retorted, "You are not a psychologist, why must I talk about it? I'm in a good mood today, so don't make me unhappy ok." (It's never good to turn self-defensive anw)
To that, he dint really reply or try to give any more advice. Instead, he went "tsk tsk tsk". Which at first made me irritated. lolx. And we dint talk any further abt it. But later, he tried to joke around by choosing some ridiculous hairstyles from a japanese magazine that he said he wanted to cut in the future ... and i did feel cheered up altho NO comforting words were said at all.
ha, actually I duno what's the pt of blogging this at all. lol. Smtimes I wonder if his image now is just a front, to hide the hurt and pain. He once said b4, that "if u wanna read a sad story, I can write one for u." Hmmm. I don't know what happened though. He seemed to have gotten over it, and had matured after the experience, but every thing that he saw now still reminded him of the past. Maybe it's really not that easy..
But I just want to say that, don't judge a person so quickly cos everyone has his/her own past..
Ok, I'll really crapping. Haven been sleeping much this hols anw. EVery night 2am and 7am my biological clock will wake me up to prepare for lecture. Which is so unneccessary cos it's mid-sem break!!

ES2007 project surveys..
Normally I'm the kind who gets a little irritated when people ask me to do a survey for them. But.. I realise that I haf some v v nice friends! Those who replied my email or msn promptly with the answers, and those who specially went to pester all their friends from science faculty (cos e survey only applies to sci students) to help to do. A BIG thank you to all who helped =) I was so pleasantly surprised by the responses, although they say, in UNI, your friends will help you so that in time, you will help them when they are in need. Sounds realistic enough hahas.
Back from amunra outing at bugis, and I've lots to blog and post actually. But no time, no time, no time. And I slept all my time allocated for mugging for CA away, probably cos was too tired frm swimming and travelling around yesterday lolx.
Qianru and I have telepathy! =) She sms-ed me just when I just posted that I missed her and she havent visited my blog for like 1 yr?
And now my hair is like orange colour on the top. How did dark dark brown dye become like chestnut colour? Not used to it leh haha. ARgh!

Made a trip to Tampines this morning. The usually fast bus 969, was unsually slow today. So ended up having to wait for 2hrs+ at the clinic just to see the dermatologist. I've learnt to bring my notes around when i go for "long" trips hehe.
Anw, burnt another great big hole in my pocket when there wasnt any income from tuition for the past few weeks already cos my tuition kid just finished her prelims! Tracy asked me if the doctor's really that good anot, actually I also don't know. Same thing as going for facials (I havent gone for any tho), it's from hear-say and also trial-and-error loh.
Had nothing to do till 3+ pm. Was sitting at tampines mall and wondering who lives in tampines? Thought of sms-ing wanqi, but remembered tt she usually doesnt study in groups leh. Then I thought should I msg the ever-free han chuen, but then v weird to suddenly ask him like that. Then I thought of Tsunting & tracy... and Tsun invited me to her house =D So happy. Met her cute little sis haha. I think Tsun will be a good mum in the future, from the way i see her talk to her sis, carry her and play with her. Tsun says tt i seem to like kids alot, which i agree, but yet i don't really know how to handle them. She made her sis kiss me goodbye when i left lolx. Oooh, her mouth is so small, it's one-quarter of mine.
Mum and I went to visit a family friend's grandma who recently had a stroke.. Her family has decided to send her back to Hongkong to stay in a nursery home this coming saturday... and I havent seen her since last yr's CNY anw. In the past, she often scuttled about in the house, but the old lady that i saw now, could no longer grip things with her left hand and could no longer make trips to the toilet by herself. Wanted to say something encouraging, but as usual, nothing of much substance came out. (That's y Yiwen said b4 tt I really duno how to console pple. And I'm supposed to be part of HCA. So ironic.)
Seeing both the extreme young and the extreme old in one day made me feel v nostalgic..and also strangely waiting in anticipation what life has for me for the various stages of life I've not yet been to.. There r so many places that i havent been to, and so many things that I havent tried yet.
So, being alive itself, is great =) why worry so much?

when life's simple and nice
I'm going to be a chao mugger.
I'm going to be a boring, old mugger.
I'm going to be goal-oriented, focused and enthusiastic.
I'm going to stop drifting in and out of my life, and other people's life.
I'm going to remember everything I said that I'm going to remember, do and promise.
And I'm going to forget NOTHING
Except the things I want myself to forget from now on.
I'm going to look to the future, without looking back anymore. I'm going to succeed.. Wish me luck!
