=) i seem to have so much to say but because this blog is getting mouldy so gonna keep it short!

unearthed this mouldy picture ( gosh everything seems so old again) from my files and tada! guess what, the CFC - chee fa club revival. we used to be so goo-goo-ga ga over mrs chee, the bestest best chemistry teacher on earth cum mother chee and we really worshipped the way she taught. she's the best! =) mr wee has got his little own column as well =)

HAIL CHEE!

have been working at maybank lately and i must thank this special "sister" for coming down to have lunch with me! the people at maybank are like super chinese-speaking. maybe i'm cynical about this, but i can even hear laughter in mandrin! well it's not all that bad though because the supervisor, rachel, is really nice. i think i meet really innocent people there. and thank God zhiling and cheryl from 204 are working there too =)

thanks to andy too. i know you're right! =) it always gladdens me to know there's really someone out there always willing to listen, and such friends can't be found anywhere. andy's been an amazing brother, just like J,S,E and my 2 best friends.

i feel like expressing myself with that s club 7 song, though it's not really right in terms of audience. listening to that song on radio really got me thinking again.

tell me, have you ever loved and lost somebody

wished you had the chance to say i'm sorry

can't you see

that's the way i feel about u and me baby

yeah i think J, S, and E will have a tinkling of what i'm referring. i really thank God for these girls and the long bus ride that day =) because it seriously was helpful. it sucks to be a stranger to someone you were really close to.

were close to?

i wished it "weren't".. but nevermind. i think what E said was true, i shan't doubt myself. I'll just leave it in the arms of the faithful Lord and pray for the best.

friends come and go, but really true ones remain. this isn't a high school cliche. it's so much more realistic than teeny-boopy catchphrases like "we'll always be best friends". (though i know my best friends are always my best friends hehehe)

then again, i'm REALLLLLLLLYYYYYYY EXCITEEEEDDDD for tuesday! choir camp cum roo's birthday celebration. and i'm meeting faith way earlier in the morning. dorea is pregnant! but we're going ahead with the celebration HAHAHAHA! ( i know i made your wallet fatter) talked to zheng jun and this smart boy, i'm so proud of him for doing so superbly well for prelims. GO FOR VJ AH BOY!!! =)

i'm so glad the choir's doing so well, hope the school gives the green light for the esplanade concert next year, the trip to russia (WWOWO! st.petersburg), the choir olympics... =)! nelson has got really high expectations for the choir, and i guess that's going to bring them to greater heights.

SYF in any participant's situtation is an exhilirating and heart-pounding one, and i'm sure all participants would agree with me. i remember vividly that morning, on the 5th of april 2005, we did warm-ups, and i think we spoilt the wooden flooring in the music room. a resounding succeess, as we clinched our first GWH. i gripped dorea so hard i think her bones crumbled.

and those were tears of joy.

=)

happy birthday to the one and only... *drumrolls*

CHERYL TAN !RABBIT!

i know you love us truckloads and we love you truckloads and aeroplane loads as well. always, the happy t(h)ree friends. =) no other way i can find people like you.

friends are like pieces of puzzle - i'm glad we're pieced together! =) together with great food.. anyway i really enjoyed the yoggi ice-cream please go and try other flavours next time too yep. and not forgetting ben's corner (HAHA)'s ban mian and parkway. and clarity cafe!

did a bit of retail therapy with the 2 girls and i can't believe we bought so many earrings! bubble tea tasted like jelly but nice, nevertheless.

have been working at banks; next week will be at maybank lavender so i'm looking forward to whole new learning experiences. YAY! hope there's time to do holiday HW and slack. holidays are meant for studying in reality, in contrast to the definition of holidays. which is such an irony.

i'm starting to realise how much i really love food. can't wait to go to beach road someday to do food hunting. i thank God for my lovely friends, and the hao jie mei who went down to novena to help me run the errand and deliever it right to tampines. thanks! =)

2007-10-30T06:04:00.000-07:00

THIS IS WHAT I CALL MUSIC =)

.Caresse Sur L'Ocean. LES CHORISTES ROCK!
thanks for the score.

TOMORROW IS THE REAL PW ASSESSMENT.

GO ONE NIGHT ONE I'M SURE WE CAN ACE IT!

I'M currently thinking whether i should really join tm, will it be very stressful when you're surrounded by smart asses?

what happens when you feel breathless in the rat-race?
what happens when your stamina fails you?
what happens when you are afraid of being all alone?
what happens when your faith falters?

the answer: he's always there.

and i'll be going to chinatown tomorrow for the 2nd time in my life i think.

why wasn't little india called india town?

i;ve been thinking lately.

even the best fall down sometimes, even the wrong words seem to rhyme. out of the dark that fills my mind, somehow find you and i collide.

THE INTERVIEW WITH GOD

I dreamed I had an interview with God.
“So you would like to interview me?” God asked.

“If you have the time” I said.

God smiled. “My time is eternity.”
“What questions do you have in mind for me?”

“What surprises you most about humankind?”
God answered...“That they get bored with childhood,they rush to grow up, and then long to be children again.”

“That they lose their health to make money...and then lose their money to restore their health.”“That by thinking anxiously about the future, they forget the present, such that they live in neither the present nor the future.”

"That they live as if they will never die, and die as though they had never lived.”

God’s hand took mine and we were silent for a while.
And then I asked...“As a parent, what are some of life’s lessons you want your children to learn?”

“To learn they cannot make anyone love them. All they can do is let themselves be loved.”“To learn that it is not good to compare themselves to others.”

“To learn to forgiveby practicing forgiveness.”

“To learn that it only takes a few seconds to open profound wounds in those they love, and it can take many years to heal them.”

“To learn that a rich person is not one who has the most,but is one who needs the least.”“To learn that there are people who love them dearly, but simply have not yet learned how to express or show their feelings.”

“To learn that two people can look at the same thing and see it differently.”“To learn that it is not enough that they forgive one another, but they must also forgive themselves.”

"Thank you for your time," I said humbly.

"Is there anything else you would like your children to know?"

God smiled and said, “Just know that I am here... always.”

=) how true indeed!

the past week has been tumultous for the family, and we've been grappling with sleepless nights and worries, which all seem to be so complex. i sometimes wished we could live on earth forever and not be hurt nor depressed by the passing of one's loved one, but then i am reminded that God created resurrection and we have eternal life in Christ. thanks to the daily bread, i find miraculous answers for things that happened and i guess that's how He works to comfort us. passages about caring for orphans and widows, passages about saying a kind word, passages about death.

i'm trying not to take it so hard over gong gong's demise, but my only and biggest worry that bugs me when i open my eyes in the morning now would be my grandmother. so i really need to go over to bedok as often as i can to visit her. many people came for the wake, most of them were dad and aunty's friends and a bunch of old aunties and uncles living in the same block.

my 1st cousin taking his funny PHD on sleeping disorders flew back from dublin on the second day of the wake and it was during these 4 days that i really got to know my 3 male cousins better. jenny my 2nd cousin in law kept me awake by talking to me about her old days in VJC and how times have changed. ( and i touched her blackberry or whatever u call it) and i found out my 3rd cousin is taking mechanical engineering in NTU and his girlfriend who came for the wake was really pretty too!

tears were hard to fight back especially on the first and last day, but it all happens and perhaps God planned it to be. wanna thank michelle who took a bus ride back from parkway with me to bedok, and the 4c pals, 501 people ( and my PW team-mates too n jme who provided me with chocolate), bob and his sister, the rest of them at home, and Him.

i'm looking for "children of heaven". the 1971 or 1979 iranian film which i think will be better than jack neo's rendition of homerun. it's the original man.

yeah backtrack a bit.. all my results were released by tuesday the day gong gong passed away. i guess i did pretty fine..but somehowi still feel inadequate compared to my sister who's reading law, and even my cousins like the one doing PHD or the other 2 who graduated from temasek jc (though they are all grown up like 20+ years old). yet the horse is ready and it was all dependent on God's grace since He makes things favourable, and i'm thankful for what i already have. i just want to keep it going, and keep the flame burning fiercely.

because i know i can.

2007-10-13T19:22:00.001-07:00

how do we find strength in weakness?

2007-10-06T19:29:00.000-07:00

ok i'll put this little window up on the side of the blog later, it's designed by huiqi!! =) i'm from tk, and i am damn proud of it. and look the picture shows the rotanda and the choir room!

i think what the school boasts about isn't anything wrong or exaggerated - it really value added me and any tk student would be able to testify for this. without the school and the immense support from the teachers and my friends, i wouldn't have made it this far.

i went into the school, having the 2nd lowest Tscore. tk's cut off was 229 and i had 230. i cried when i got my results because all my freaking smart friends had 250+++, all making it to DHS, RGS ,VS, TKGS. i felt relieved i managed to get to TK and not damai or bedok south ( not that these schools are bad hor ) but tk just sounded more "prestigious" . sarah came over to ask me where i was posted, i gave her a smile and said "tanjong katong".

"but it's not the girls school! it's ok we can still meet up at the gate". she quipped.

5 years later - i gladly thank God that i am a tkgs reject. i'm glad i was a tkgs reject.
people in TK weren't exactly newton smart. or roshni smart.
but look, so may people exited out from the school with less than 10 points for O level. a single digit.

P chan always asked (or nagged) at our batch and she often asked what we wanted to have imbued in us, something different compared to when we first walked into the gates of TK.

i would humbly say, all the stupid 5 school values .
especially the ability to succeed. and excluding maybe inguenity haha.

like c'mon, which other school can provide u with that sort of environment that provides u the avenues and space to really grow, and to construct wonderful,sincere friendships ? so congrats to the school, for winning the prestigious school excellence award, because we really deserve it. kudos to the teachers and the school management comm! =) and P chan of course and mr lee and the students obviousl

it was really heartening reading the blogs of felloww tk'sians - huiqi, hayden, amirul... and i'm glad we came to the right place.

MJ open house was much better than last year's open house. sarene and i were behind the speakers and we became a lil deaf after doing the mass dance.

i know in my heart, i haven't come to the wrong place either.

although there were some blunders along the way...

2007-10-04T06:26:00.001-07:00

deeee 2 bee!!

2007-10-04T06:22:00.000-07:00

YAYYYYY!!!!
i finally found the song jian, wayne, glenn and taufik sang

when i fall in love with you
anything is out of the blue
in the dark night, there'll be sunlight
and you'll be the destiny that i'm going to

when i fall in love with you
wish this dream is forever true
having u right here, face to face
let nobody else come between me and ypu

when i fall in love-

by D2B. it's a thailand group. sounds wrong - i mean they are a band from thailand.!

MJ OPEN HOUSE TMR!

2007-10-02T05:02:00.000-07:00

HAHA

- anyway: VOB refers to victims of bush.

Say Heav'nly Muse,
shall not thy sacred vein
Afford a present to the Infant God?
Hast thou no vers, no hymn, or solemn strein,
To welcom him to this his new abode,
Now while the Heav'n by the Suns team untrod,
Hath took no print of the approching light,
And all the spangled host keep watch in squadrons bright?

- on the morning of christ's nativity (III)

"Generally places less weight on prior judicial decisions and do not abide by the doctrine of stare decisions.The offender may suffer the consequences of a jail term or a fine by the state or both; there is generally no direct compensation under criminal law from the wrongdoer to the victim of the crime committed."

this is what i have been doin all night!!helping my sister type her law meeting minutes, drawing contrasting tables, sorting out all her weekly readings.. it's crazy. like our 4 topics for geog (pop, hydro, urban and litho) are less than what she has to read for 1 week. i wished she had 3 more pairs of eyes to help her with the countless readings - even huang na's case was 102 full pages in font 8!! beat that!

=) thinking of law. singaporeans are so litigious nowadays so i'm sure my sister will earn big bucks and she shall share a small portion of her new-founded wealth with me. i'm drreaaming.

oright. woke up to a really fruitful morning cos i went cycling with bob the cricket. bike rental fees have gone up people, it's now 6 dollars for 2 hours compared to the 5 bucks. and did you know if u are a VJC student, you can get subsidised rates? i want to study in Vj too. that again, faith is conducting on saturday YAY!! and i found out today that there is more than a bedok jetty. one further down left which has nobody on it. nice wind today, and everything gets better when you can talk to a friend about anything and everything, and sing at the top of your voices in forceto all the choir songs we learnt last time in nelson kwei's choir.

after that we roamed around marine parade for a while before i met samantha this time for real, CHEM TUITION AND lunch!! =D i haven't cried in a really long time and all we said brought tears to our eyes - over a few animals. saw vera and abel at burger king as well.i bought my stuff i needed for tomorrow's biz experiment and as usual, ran for the bus with lychee bubble tea.not mine. hers!

one more day before we return to school. open house will be good i hope!!

go FPT!

i'm sunburnt. badly.

View Lyrics of "Diana Ross - If We Hold On Together" »

Don’t lose your way
With each passing day
You’ve come so far
Don’t throw it away
Live believing
Dreams are for weaving
Wonders are waiting to start
Live your story
Faith, hope & glory
Hold to the truth in your heart

If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see us through to forever
Where clouds roll by
For you and I

Souls in the wind
Must learn how to bend
Seek out a star
Hold on to the end
Valley, mountain
There is a fountain
Washes our tears all away
Words are swaying
Someone is praying
Please let us come home to stay

If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see us through to forever
Where clouds roll by
For you and I

When we are out there in the dark
We’ll dream about the sun
In the dark we’ll feel the light
Warm our hearts, everyone

If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see us through to forever
As high as souls can fly
The clouds roll by
For you and I

Miracle - celine dion///

You're my life's one Miracle,
Everything I've done that's good
And you break my heart with tenderness,
And I confess it's true
I never knew a love like this till you....

You're the reason I was born
Now I finally know for sure
And I'm overwhelmed with happiness
So blessed to hold you close
The one that I love most
With all the future has so much for you in store
Who could ever love you more?

The nearest thing to heaven,
You're my angel from above
Only God creates such perfect looooove

When you smile at me, I cry
And to save your life I'll die
With a romance that is pure heart,
You are my dearest part
Whatever it requires,
I live for your desires
Forget my own, needs will come before
Who could ever love you more?

Well there is nothing you could ever do,
To make me stop, loving you
And every breath I take,
Is always for your sake
You sleep inside my dreams and know for sure
Who could ever love you more?

Your Power Element is Earth

Your power color: yellow

Your energy: balancing

Your season: changing of seasons

Dedicated and responsible, you are a rock to your friends.
You are skilled at working out even the most difficult problems.
Low key and calm, you are happiest when you are around loved ones.
Ambitious and goal oriented, you have long term plans to be successful.

What's Your Power Element?

You Are Grass Green

Down to earth and a bit of a hippie, you are very into nature and the outdoors.
You accept the world and people as they are. You don't try to change things.
You are also very comfortable with yourself, flaws and all.
Optimistic about the future, you feel like life is always getting better.

What Color Green Are You?

You Should Visit Mexico

You can be as comfortable as you want, eating fast food and partying with English speakers in resort town.
But if you're feeling brave, venture out to Mexico City - or explore the tropical Yucatan.

What Latin American Country Should You Visit?

You Will Be a Modern Bride!

While you aren't ready to throw away all wedding traditions, you want a wedding with a twist
You're more inspired by celebrity weddings on E! than from bridal magazines
Whether this means getting married on the beach barefoot or a mariachi band for the reception...
Your wedding will be a blend of old and new - white dress cocktail, personalized vows, whatever suites you!!!

What Kind of Bride Will You Be?

YAYY

2007-09-29T04:41:00.000-07:00

my! she grew skinnier and tanner and more hip! =) this special choir pal of mine, met up with her and passed her her stuff. we talked about many things and went window shopping.

food courts are now so classy - cushioned seats, dimmed lights, pine wood tables.
remember to watch America's got talent tomorrow!

next saturday's VJC's open house, gonna cheer for faith who will be lashing out at her choir and losing her temper.
oh i mean, conducting!

2007-09-28T06:09:00.000-07:00

HAHAHAHAHAAHA life is so full of surprises. today was... surprising. i love it when friends do something so special.

ok. today's doings:

-went to michelle's house to get her uniform and returned it to the GO

- went for bizclub meeting.anyway i feel like mel and i have known each other for really longggg.. she gives me an old friend feeling. and i found out she was from choir and she attended frankel bethesda last time! YEAY, going to her house next tuesday.

- went for lunch with JX, there's so much i can learn from this amazing guy.and the songs, THE SONGS!!!!! i knew it.. the jubilate concert. we sang in the same choir!!

-went to meet samantha for CHEMISTRY TUITION>>YEAH RIGHT.

the same thing happened. suddenly at BK this girl . sprang. up. on. me with a heart shaped cake, and a really special present. MAN I LOVE YOU GIRLS REALLY =) and i like the hand made earringssssss. (5 pairs altogether) then we sat down to do our usual thing. it just gives me so much joy.

- went to roxy square for the 2nd time in the day for thrift shopping. bought a top. =) went back to parkway for the 4th time that day, and cheryl had to DI DI. haha!

- went inbox, and then home with samantha. we talked about the time when theboth of us went through so much torture to take pictures for rabbit.. the rain, the bus splashing water, the tiny umbrella-ella-ella which was a bit dysfunctional, the way back home was hilarious.

-this is dedicated to these 2 really special girls - thanks alot. really.

conversation on the bus ride home:

sam: i wonder if any guys are after cheryl in NAFA.

cheng: sure have one! but maybe the guys at NAFA are that kind.. (no bad intention) remember bai zhipeng and umesh?

sam: yeah and u still went to tell umesh in chinese to not pester cheryl and ivan who was beside umesh said umesh was a nepalese and couldn't

understand mandrin.i can't believe ppl thought cheryl was a lasbiene.

cheng: yeha i remember jian an and zhijun that gang!!disturbing people all day long!

samantha: luckily we know we 3 are straight. and i think you are quite flexible with it.

cheng: i'm not very flexible u know i only reached 38cm for sit and reach it's not even a C grade!

samantha: i got 34!!

chengying: my mom says i have monkey hands and sister says those who dont have fats on their thighs can't do S and R very well.

tmr's activities: meet ruisin

sunday's : go to church

monday: go cycling

PART 2 of my own story: EXPERIENCING PROMOS

you know what

promos wasn't that stressful as i would have thought. even till now i can confidently say with much haughtiness that i wasn't stressed(HAHA am i very proud) i think stress is something u create and something u think u are in. IT"S ALL IN THE MIND. so hopefully things will turn out well, but i leave it to God since it's God helps those who help themselves!!

to all who are in the midst of the exams , keep going. it'll be all over

before u know it. and never head for breakdown. dont self destruct - i t's all in the mind. all in the mind.

(i hope i can say this 1 year later as well. )

nope ,i'm not being cynical. it's in the mind.

2007-09-27T09:56:00.000-07:00

yes, good lord, i am really counting my blessings. life can't get any better, it really can't. but then again, any day with God is good. not because it's the end of promos( hehehehe there's always your As people) and maybe not so much of it being my birthday also. but i feel really appreciated so thanks everyone =]

everything we do, we have a plan. that was what i wrote for my GP essay. so i'm going to be really systematic about writing today's post, so i'll look back at it and smile with grace and honour.

1. today's special surprises

2. the experience of promos

3. important lessons i have learnt

ok i shall digress a little and talk about how happy i am cos amanda came back for the promos. fit, cheerful, most of all,STRONG GIRL. faith pulls one together. it really does.

1. today's special surprises

-first few people who wished me, really appreciate it alot. my closest pals!

- woke up to a cold morning, the frigid wind howling. ok i'm just exaggerating lah but anyway dad gave mom and i a lift to the mrt station and it was pouring already. and i met my miswan bear bear who was going to school! cue in penny lane!

yepp met anuja and huiqi. jia xian was saying something about showers of blessings. the weather has been weird lately but then again, it's always unpredictable.mr nathan started the paper earlier and the whole class laughed for the funniness. yeah he's a funny man. math wasn't too bad though i lost some marks, glad it wasn't a killer paper. =]

huiqi of ALL THINGS got me a.. spatula. (housewife) and a blackboard. (teacher)

then i spent about 15 minutes unwrapping this giant candy bar that sarene, oyc and ben got me. so thanks for the sugar friends =]

lilian wrote me a beautiful card i appreciate alot! well-wishes here and there. michelle came over to talk to me and passed me another lolly and the lots of pink stuff amanda got me. amanda is actuaally half a twin sister of mine since we're both born on the 27th.

evan gave a pack of.. YELLOW BUMBLE SWEETS!! my favourite!

zhijun scared me on the train. yes zhu ni shen ri kuai le.

i tink the part when me and yy went to wheelock to collect her phone and the afterpart was funny. really funny. i'm so thankful we can talk about anything under the sun, and sincerity is really what i appreciate of others. ok we talked about.. relationships, the past, the astonishing speed of the present, the future, unsettling stuff, all the smses and a whole lot. can't fix all these stuff we said today into this tiny window here.. then after wheelock and the cute stuff in the shop we went to plaza singapura to get our FBTs. this girl ahhhh,, she kept on rejecting my 10.00.! but anyway thanks for the treaty and the chocolate after that too.

had lunch at yoshi after the bus 11 expedition. scary to say,these girls planned, they sure did! i even asked YY if we were meeting anyone else. then suddenly 2 crazy girls sprang up on me with an unlit candle and cake (which i still blew out the candle) and a little gift. thanks, mengting and shi hui, i really appreciate u all running around for me. and YY for conspiring with them! =]

the master mind and i then walked somemore, visited some funny shops. i tink we walked for 18532863168 hours and 25823623624843975878 km before we went to dohby exchange which was such a disappointment really.and we continued walking and talkinG AND TALKING AND WALKING till her other 2 friends came to escort her and i went home on the train.

home was cool, my sister kept peering into the bags of stuff and she was appalled when she saw the candy stick. had a swiss roll blueberry cake so thanks parents!!

then ben called me downstairs. i was really wondering what this dingus had up on his sleeve.. but aw man, ben really is the man. he picked some rubbish and by mAGIC!!turned it into a nice present he knew i would really appreciate. it's got so many faces on it.15 to be exact. and a frog card came along with it too! ben i promise to catch 17 snails for you on the 14th of october. we then went to the NTUC near our place and we spent half an hour looking for VEGETABLE SHORTENING.( failed attempt)! but then again, shopping in the supermarket is always fun.

and now i'm typing this. =] talking to sarah, a very good primary school friend of mine too.

really thank GOD for the eternal life i have and i thank him that i'm the happy and joyous person he made me. i'm also glad people remember my birthday because it really means alot alot to me. thanks for all the smses and stuff friends. even the simple face to face greeting helps. i'm praying for all of u all tonight.

what does 17 years old of age mean to anyone of us??

yes sure the one year wiser, one year smarter, one yr prettier.. and one more year, more thankful for what i have got around me. great familym trustworthy friends, good God... =] really. i'm glad to be alive.

(too tired to blog about 2 and 3!

tmr tmr tmr =])

2007-09-20T20:03:00.001-07:00

All my bags are packed

I'm ready to go

I'm standing here outside your doo

rI hate to wake you up to say goodbye

But the dawn is breaking

This early morning

The taxi's waiting,

he's blowing his horn

I'm ready, I'm so lonesome I could die

So kiss me and smile for me

Tell me that you'd wait for me

Hold me like you'll never let me go

'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane

have been really missing but it doesn't matter! all the best for promos, looking forward to the 27th!!

I don't know when I'll be back again

Oh babe, I hate to go

There so many times I've let you down

So many times I've played around

But I am now, they don't mean a thing

Every place I go I think of you

Ever song I sing I sing for you

When I come back I'll wear your wedding ring

So kiss me and smile for me

Tell me that you'd wait for me

Hold me like you'll never let me go

'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane

I don't know when I'll be back again

Oh babe, I hate to go

Well now the time has come to leave your

One more time now let me kiss you

Close your eyes and I'll be on my way

Dream about the days to come

When I won't have to leave alot

About the times that I won't have to say

Oh kiss me and smile for me

Tell me that you'd wait for me

Hold me like you'll never let me go

'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane

I don't know when I'll be back again

Oh babe, I hate to go

But I'm leaving on a jet plane

Don't know when I'll be back again

Oh babe, I hate to go

But I'm leaving on a jet plane

Leaving on a jet plane

+ Learning a valuable lesson +

I learnt a valuable lesson today. Life is short and we must live it fully. We make mistakes along our way, and feel the regret and remorse only after it is done. What we can do is to pick ourselves up, and fix the problem so we will not continue living with this regret.

Sometimes, when we feel extremely angry with with anyone, think again before acting. Anger clouds your mind red. The red will slowly and gradually cloud your sight. It will prevent you from doing what you think is right. It may come in the form of Word Vommit, the Body losing control. A moment being swallowed by anger will result in fearful consequences. Hence, I urge you to think again. Think twice, thrice or more being acting.If you have done wrong, just stand up and bravely admit your mistakes. They were yours to begin with so don't try to shift the blame and responsibility. Own up. Someone who did wrong and owns up is more righteous that one who did wrong and pretends it wasn't his fault.If you seek for forgiveness, you will be given.
Because God loves us so. Ask for it with a heart that truly begs for it.So now, I pray to God for courage and bravery for me to stand up to my sin. I pray for the heart to forgive and forget. I pray for the willingness to be forgiven.Amen

life's teachings

monday - i learnt to forgive and forget and best friends are always best friends.

tuesday - i learnt that i'm not fighting certain battles alone and God gives answers and angels to everything.

wednesday - i learnt that i don't really know what i wanna be when i grow up - a police woman? a housewife?teacher? i learnt that quiet times in LTs rock.

thursday - i learnt that God gives me surprises, the truth is always the best, universities are really difficult to enter. i learnt to be really thankful of everything around you. i learnt that there's always a reason and an answer to everything.

friday - i learnt that the friday is always the best! HAHAHAHA.

anyway something random --
i feel like switching off this blog and let it rot till there's lots of algae on it - it's one of those economic downturn policies, followed by a raging fire swarming in the blog for a few months. and this cycle could possibly repeat itself many times.

what nonsense gibberish am i talking about. ok basically it's because there are certain things i really want to pen down on paper (not malicious gossip by that way) tat i can'y express myself in this tiny little window, yet everyone can access it. does it become an oxy moron? things like emotions, things i really feel about God, about people, about things... about life. what i can only blabber about on the blog would be" today i went to mug. i mugged with so and so. after taht i went home. then i went to watch a movie. then i met up with my friends. then i went home, mugged and slept".

how mundane and perhaps, insipid.

i would rather write in a diary which i have one now, and i can talk to God for all i want, pen down all the teachings He teaches me in a day, and how i really grow as a person spiritually on that every day.

a blog loses its novelty no matter what , just like what happens in life. we start to depreciate what we have, and not understand the full value of what we possess - something we should be grateful for? i can't say i'm like grateful for this blog but i must say i must give thanks to God for letting me have fingers and eyes and a brain in good working condition. but anyway, what i really feel about a diary is that it's confidential and i really can have a private conversation with God everytime i pluck out the diary from my drawer. (and i don't think my mom reads my diary)

today could have been an emotional roller-coaster in class for many, but here's to all: always be thankful of whatever you possess now, because the people around you are one of the most beautiful and priceless gifts God has blessed us with. this was also what my angel/mortal wrote - everyday is a good day cos the Lord is around.
read Corinthians and Peter =]

happpy birthday singaporE!!

the mjc concert rocked big time, the choir sang well, dance was amazing, and the malay cultural society put up this really hilarious performance, and i must say the malay guy could sing so well. and Khai sang! he can sing so well. congrats to michelle!mengting, evan, shey, OH YEONG CHYUN and jaime for their spectecular performance. =]

then i met cheryl and samantha and we had lunch at pastamania. cheryl rocks with all those bulky art folios and files. man i can't wait for the day when she can design dresses for me.

anyway i seriously think mr nathan rocks big time.

he showed us this really interesting movie, das experiment, a 119 minute german film that showcased and re enacted the gory torture scenes the experiment rats went through - basically this psycological unit in USA wanted to determine how people reacted to situations where civil rights was deleted from their life - some were selected to be prisoners, some guards on a random basis. soon the experiment got out of hand, and it ended on an ugly note, although in reality the exp. was aborted in just 6 days, much less than the 14 days earlier agreed upon.

the lead actor, moritz Bleibtreu. he looks like justithe lead actor, moritz Bleibtreu. he looks like justin timberlake to me.

this picture is dedicated to my sickly friend quek huiqi. HAHa. hope this makes you happy!

today is friday thank God it's friday!

yeay. and i can't stand my PW group, we spent an hour laughing over some stupid action i did today which i didn't even mean to. it was just a slip of my .. finger!!!!thanks to yeong chyun and benjamin. oh well, really,i tink my PW members rock big time. i lovve singing with OYC !! he's got a great voice. and i think 501 is musically inclined - almost everyone can hold a tune. jonathan was giving us a very "what are u all doing look" which was funny as well. laughing trains abs by the way. here's to everyone stop calling me "CHHHengying".!! i'm chengying.

following that chemistry clinic (cough) was cancelled, and some of us went for the personal grooming course where some mini actress called teo ser lee( teo ser luck's sister) came to speak to us for about an hour and a half. as usual, ben made some reallyyyyyyyy funny jokes, sarene and i and him started shaking our little fingers. a firm handshake everyone!!!

our class won the highly coveted sexuality education quiz. good job 501!!!!!!!!!!! =] 2nd prize.

benjamin and i are trend setters, we came up with a new word that starts with S. 7 letters. black, on the way home today after i bought my lapis sagu. YUM. it's synonymous to the word "dingus". all of u dinguses go check out the dictionary if u don't know its meaning.

actually. there isn't a word dingus in the dictionary. it's self inventive, courtesy of razifool. speaking of him, ALL THE BEST FOR TONIGHT'S PERFORMANCE AT NYJC!!!

yoga class tmr, thank God for the wide array of activities i can be involved in. and if anyone's interested in festival of praise, u can go to http://www.festivalofpraise.org.sg , and do update me on how it went ! =]

Dreaming of You

Late at night when all the world is sleeping
I stay up and think of you
And I wish on a star
that somewhere you are
Thinking of me too

Cause I’m dreaming of you tonight
Till tomorrow,
I’ll be holding you tight
And there’s nowhere in the world
I’d rather be
Than here in my room
dreaming about you and me

pretty lyrics!! =] song by selena. what a pity she actually got shot by her best friend who was the founder of her fan club. so stupid she embezzled funds from it. she must have been jealous.

jealousy kills. yikes.

get well soon huiqi.
and bizclub meeting was so short today, i went with emily to white sands to get stationary. and please pray for the s korean hostages. i really don't know when those crazy people are going to do with those innocent lives.

2007-07-31T07:06:00.000-07:00

one of my favourite movies, 2002

i have no time to update this blog!!!! OH NO. haha. anyway today's math period was funny. GP was funnier too. we talked about the PAP newsletter and section 55 of the law that keeps getting renewed. nathan is so cool.

and i'm very disgruntled that next wed's econs lecture test is freaking 2 hours long. lIKE 2 HOURS!?$!% man. and beatrice says there are only 8 weeks left to promos, time to get serious.

and everyone, please continue to pray for amanda who's on the road to recovery. YAY!!!

also, please pray for the 21 captives (Skorean) who are being held in the hands of the taleban militants., after 2 of them have been shot. crazy man.

why is there so much animosity and hatred revolving around man? aren't we all the children of God?

beer truck.

ahhhaha! high school musical 2 is about to be out. i want to watch it. Zac Efron is so cute, i used to think he looked like an astronaut in the first HSM movie. and vanessa hudgens is SOOO PRETTY and TALENTED!

ok although the movie has no plot but i really enjoy the songs and the dances. =] yay!

i read the sypnosis for HSM 2 and it's about troy spending more time with sharpay the woman with the screechy voice. i bet it's a fairy tale ending. so where's the thrill??

this week's been great except for the very boring bizclub meeting that got quite intense after all the problems spewed out. i think the ex-co's working really hard, having to stay late till 8 9 pm for purely meetings.then again i'm thankful i didn't join exco. i wonder if i would have liked it. and everyone please join mjc co-operative! we need members! you get door gifts, birthday gifts and all sorts of things.

huiqi was sick yesterday but anyway today she was especially random about saying she would give me a box of plasters for my birthday, those with the cute imprints and stuff. so u better make sure i fall down more often so i can utilise those plasters.

the funny thing today was - sarene and i kindof got "cheated" and manual labour was fun and funny! the trolley was making lots of noise and we were so afraid heads would turn. we walked in and out of the GO at least 10 times! but it was God's gift that we found 2 oreo waffles after that outside one of those classrooms. and we were happy we did a good deed, because there's something called karma in the world. YAY!

the class blog is hilarious! http://ohsevenassfiveohone.blogspot.com/

VOTE FOR MY HUNKS!!!!!!!!!!

thank God it's friday! or rather, thank God for everyday!

2007-07-16T20:43:00.000-07:00

cool pic.

yay i'm blogging in the school library now. but i'm not doing homework now, just busy with rantings and stuff. the time table is rally weird because lunch and recess are only a period apart. AHAHA1 that's like. only 50 minutes. weird.

i tink i have a serious addiction with home cooked food. the tantalising dishes that dad cooks never fails to whet my appetite. OOH I CAN"T WAIT TO GO HOME TO EAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!FOOOOOOOD!

i feel like having delicious boneless chicken rice. huiqi is now peering at the screen and i'm sure she's drooling. i can feel her saliva dripping down wetting my uniform. EWWWW!

2007-07-15T00:49:00.000-07:00

it's such a SCAM!!!!!!!!

the EE EOM the school gave us as a sample is a scam. IT's ALL ABOUT CONFUCIOUS and philisophy, and this sort of content gives lots of room to allow debating to take place. ideology-based projects this time will be in for a good treat.

i'm not exactly sure how i should embark on my eom, because we have got so much statistical information. having to filter out everything is already bad - but the thing is i can't find anything dubious to refute. so basically my entire EOM would be a nodding-head session. HMMM.

anyway the GPP HAS BEEN APPROVED!!!!YAY i wanna thank all the members in this picture below. it feels like one of those posters you see when the new Channel 8 drama season begins.

from left: benjamin the operations manager

yeong chyun the darling boss

huiqi the entertainer and the language editor

eunice the secretary who takes down minutes for every meeting

last but not least myself.

i love my PW GROUP!!!! WE're the BOMB!

and making reference to the human anatomy: that's yeong chyun's 3rd out of 5 fingers being imprinted on the group project proposal. i'm still puzzled over why he did it.

anyway to all friends out there, please continue to keep amanda in your prayers, she will be in hos for at least 2 more weeks for some plasmaphorobic treatment. =] things are looking better so thank God man. hallelujah!

a new week is beginning.

HAHA. miss loh SL asked me if i wanted to be the emcee for some econs quiz that's gonna take place in LT4 on tuesday, so i readily agreed. haven't done emceeing for a lonnnng time since the primary school days. =D anyway she was really encouraging today, talking to us about how different it is to study for A levels and O levels. o levels is a direst carbon copy of what u study in your notes, like a jigsaw puzzle with 9 numbers, they don't differ. but for As, the same 9 numbers are given to u, but u are expected to arrange them in the precise order your teacher wants you to. mark the distinction? cool.

and i'm glad and blessed to have nathan as my GP teacher, he went to us individually to point out our various mistakes, those wo could possibly avoid etc. =] fantastic guy, who makes lessons very relaxing.

i'm still having revenge pangs on math. i want to work hard for it, and not let down mr kang (who would just probably break into a cute grin if i tell him i got E for math) and mr K.ng, my ex tution teacher. and i have econs lecture after national day celebrations man, and it's a supposedly hot date with ivy quek, the teacher with numerous coach bags.

everyone if u read this, please pray for my very good friend who has been warded in ICU since monday after a fierce fight against lupus. please pray for her safety, that He will give her strength and willpower, and that it will be painless. please pray for her family, esp. her mother, that she will have the mental strength to take care of herself.

and everyone, kindly donate generously to HUIQI'S COMM. CHEST haha.

chinese oral today was OK, though i fumbled quite alot at the reading part. there was a girl who spoke really loudly, ler voice reveberating across the entire air-conditioned hall. what excellent voice projection, she would make a good choirister. :P the frigid wind blowing out of the air con didn't help alot too - only made me more nervous, activating the butterflies inside my stomach.

2007-07-11T06:55:00.000-07:00

..do not fear, for I am with you;do not be dismayed, for I am your God.I will strengthen you and help you;I will uphold you with my righteous right hand...

- Isaiah 41:10 (New International Version)

thank u so much because this is so comforting, after a tiring day in school. Went to school with Eugene.after chem Tutorial came the ultimate shame and scare –
me, a U for econs. I’m penitent for myself.

When will life return to its good old state, the times of mirth, innocence and worry-free, like in primary one? Never, we have to look forward, and face it – the jejune fantisies of childhood has ceased to return. But I won’t give up – because any day with God is good.

I feel like I’m floundering,so please give me the incitement. I felt so exhausted and sleepy during math today, like a desiccated raisin, my mind being shoved around lesson after lesson, lectures. Tutorials and all. No, I mustn’t be short-sighted.

2007-07-10T02:25:00.000-07:00

i found this nice pic on the tk portal.

long live mr rakoonathan!! you rock. you are so funny, so generous, so witty.. and errr. quite lazy. HAHA. ok he gave me half a mark more for my comprehension to top everything up to a 60 - 30 marks for paper 2 and 30 for paper 1. nice teacher, but i promise to work even harder for GP to prove my worth. =] that i CAN REALLY get a B for GP. haha.

languages haven't failed me this time, but the rest? AYE.

current tally of results = BADES. B for General paper, A for chinese, D for.. hmm, oh goeg.

E for math (ewww suckass shit man gotta try harder..) S for chemistry.

stop giving yourself excuses ccy

you can do much better than this.

and miss loh sien ling is killing me - she's torturing the class of 5 with the insipid replies for our test papers. it's sucking every drip of my blood, eroding every inch of confidence i have for econs, scouring every nugget of pleasure i partake as i learn econs. she's slowly, taking her own sweet time, pushing a parang into my waist. red dark spurts of blood shoot out, like a downpour that is accompanied by pelting sheets of rain, the thunder clapping loudly.

i just digressed.

WOW sounds as though i live to like econs - but

I REALLYLLYLYL WANT MY PAPER BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HURRY UP LAH!

it's econs left to tally up. i have such a beautiful record of marks that span across all grades = but it's almost impossible to get a C to make the result slip even more.. "complete". they were running through the answers today, my, i don't even feel like i have a third of what ever they were talkinga bout.

OH well. god please empower me, for the next year or so. i really ask for Your help.

2007-07-08T01:11:00.001-07:00

i am worth $5700.00. or rather my body
HAHA. go green day! and the live earth concert is sub-standard.. all the people left behing their rubbish at the concert held at london. but al gore has come up with a real good plan to curb climate crisis. GOGREENN

see what education can do?
wonders.

2007-07-06T05:50:00.000-07:00

HAHA! super cute picture.. you suck and that's sad!

this is SUCH an apt description of my results!!! SAD!

S for chemistry, (42.5/100)

A for chinese (79.2/100) woohhooo long live mao!

D for geog. (53/100)

ugghghhghghgghhh geog was such a pity, i had lots of close points that were teetering along the brink, but didn't get the marks =/ and i failed my DRQ with 21/50 haha but it's ok! we're gonna work hard together for semester 2..!!

chemistry was absolutely dismal, only six pathetic people in the LEVEL AND YES OPEN YOUR EYES, LEVEL passed this time's chem test, highest being a C. and louis chia wah tat is one of them! YAY!!!! ok. we hereby confirm, plus chop guarantee that the chem dept is sadistic and should not hesitate to consult any counsellor. ahwell... it's just a test of our mettle. I CAN DO IT!!! repeat what fat cat says - YESSAR!

i only got back GP paper 2 so far.. 28/50. blah, language is something that's so hard to improve on, it really depends on foundation and how you have planted the seeds when you were young, and family background plays a huge role as well, because it's the first thing you are exposed to as a kid.

this week has been great, meeting up with old friends.baked and sewed with my best friends cheryl and samantha, and also fat cat whom i met yesterday and today. today was friday, so the 4c jing gang went bk to TK town. the school looked so small. =] consisting of me, roo, emily, michelle, supposedly rachel, dorea and shaz, miswan bear, momo (ooh i love his hair), taufiq the emo kid, huda, zana, azmi (still as rubbishy as ever). didnt get to see anthony cos i had to go home for dinner. sorry!

praying for you, amanda.

2007-07-02T06:17:00.000-07:00

What if...?
God couldn't take the time to bless us today
because we could not take the time to thank Him yesterday...

What if...?
God decided to stop leading us tomorrow
Because we didn't follow him today...

What if...?
God didn't walk with us today
because we failed to recognize it as his day...

What if....?
We never saw another flower bloom
because we grumbled when God sent the rain...

What if...?
God stopped loving and caring for us
because we failed to love and care for others...

What if...?
God took away the Bible tomorrow
because we would not read it today...

What If...?
God took away his message
because we failed to listen to his messenger...

What if...?
God didn't send His only begotten Son
because He wanted us be prepared to pay the price of sin...

What if...?
The door to the church was closed
because we did not open the door of our hearts...

What if...?
God would not hear us today
because we would not listen to Him yesterday...

What if...?
God answered our prayers
the way we answer his call to service...

What if...?
God met our needs
the way we give Him our lives...

You Are a Grilled Cheese Sandwich

You are a traditional person with very simple tastes.
In your opinion, the best things in life are free, easy, and fun.
You totally go with the flow. And you enjoy every minute of it!

Your best friend: The Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich

Your mortal enemy: The Ham Sandwich

What Kind of Sandwich Are You?

Your Interpersonal Intelligence Score: 72%

Your Interpersonal Intelligence is High

You are definitely a "people person." You enjoy spending time with others.
You instinctively understand people, and you are both a good counsellor and mediator.
However, there are definitely times when you've had enough. And that's when you cherish being alone.

How Does Your Interpersonal Intelligence Rate?

You Are The Opposite of Machiavellian

You don't have a cynical, power hungry bone in your body.
Honest and kind, you believe being a good person is the most important thing.
While your upstanding morals should be admired, be careful!
You're at risk for being manipulated and toyed with.

How Machiavellian Are You?

HA!

You Would Do Most Things For Love

You are willing to go pretty far for love - but not far enough to compromise your core values.
Love is a priority for you, and you'll go further than most people to hold on to someone you love.
But killing for love? Or even taking a bullet? Probably out of the question.
No matter what, you love yourself the most!

Would You Do Anything For Love?

nope. i love Him the most..

You Would Be a Pet Dog

You're friendly, loyal, and an all around good sport. People love to be near you.
You are very open with your feelings, and you're quite vocal in expressing them.
You are sincere and kind. You love many people - without any sort of agenda.

Why you would make a great pet: You're content to chill out with your friends

GREAT! i think i just failed 3 subjects.
chemistry, econs and maths.

i wouldn't have expected econs to be so tough - writing fast doesn't seem to help alot! i left an 8 mark question blank, other than doing the definition of the term. and thank you very much wong mei lin! u just made me lose 20% of my econs marks.

thank u very much mr eric kua too! for being in cahoots with mrs lim and the rest of the psychotic chem dept that made me lose like... 10 out of 30 MCQ questions left undone, as well as the many blanks in the other paper. i can't believe you're such a terrible liar actually. you should go to the MJ library to borrow "dummy's guide to lying" for saying we would be ok if we did our tutorials and stuff. GREAT! i did everything u wanted me to, and tada! i get a U. i was looking forward to a exciting time for our chem paper. - but not this degree of thrill, or rather e fear.

thank u very much miss lee! for being really nice and u came to help us during consultation. ( i mean it!) but i didn't do like.. 12 marks of my math paper/ great!! another U, just for U. be prepared for more fUUUUn.

luckily geog was pretty fine. oh well. and our new CT is mr nathan rookie or something, our teacher for orientation. i guess he's a nice man! =] and my econs tutor is... MISS LOH!

great!

ok i can't wait for chinese to end. there's a class outing on thursday! and i'm going to visit amanda in hospital. GREAT!

COOL.

started doing this after i read huiqi's blog, which was nominated as the blog with a cool article for the 501 food fest! keep up with the amazing posts girl!

so today was consulatation day. my mom gives this disbelieving look when i said today was consultation day, she was like," that's only when u go and see a doctor when you're sick." haha. the meaning of consultation has been tweaked. i', quite sad that miss pohpohlian (haha her name is still very quirky to me) is leaving, she's a real good econs teacher. and mrs chua is leaving too. i made a pact with myself that even if the new geog teacher sucked ( which i hope not), my interest for geog would not dwindle and diminish. =]

after econs was the 2nd part of my consultation marathon - chem. yanying joined us. mr kua was exceptionally errr.. encouraging to us? he was telling us to believe in our ability to succeed (man.. he should be P.chan no.2 ),sth about the sub-concious mind and stuff. seems very abstract to me and we found out he's a christian. no wonder he was so spiritual today. sa-sa and benjamin went home, so i studied with yanying and went for lunch with her.

math with miss lee and yy and yeong chyun. it was fruitful. so that's the end of my afternoon, kind of boring.

sarene and i were talking about earnin lots of money in future. i tink it's so cool to see the rise of feminism, and it would be great to see sarene flinging the proposal at the poor guy's face, bellowing at the same time "GETTTT OUT!THIS IS UTTER RUBBBISH!!!" yeahhhh. he will them scramble to the ground, and pick up his proposal he spent 7 nights scribbling. i look forward to the day she drives a sleek ferarri. she can come fetch me or something since it's a 2 seater. haha.

i really want to have a chance to take a ride on a hot-air balloon, and gaze at the beautiful world right under my feet. it's different from taking a plane, you know.

or should i just hunt for a rich husband? haha.

2007-06-17T20:48:00.000-07:00

HELLO BLOG! it's been a few days since i've been on blogland. it's starting to be a hassle, having to take a flight over to blogland. i shall just hop in since i just finished copying answers from IVLE for our chem mid year package. there were discrepancies in the answers but bah, i'm too lazy to email mr kua. he wouldn't care, anyway.

let me start from friday morning. i crawled out of bed, my eyes droopy and my mind hazy. yet there was this determination to wake up because i was meeting faith, rachel and huiqi for a studying session in MJc! the thought of them going to MJ is so.. deja vu. it seemed like i was teleported back into the good old days where faith, rachel and i would go to each others' classes to chit chat about anything. oh wait. rache and i were in the same class and let's see. we sat like 2 metres away from each other? =] i would go to 4d to meet cheryl and since cheryl and huiqi sat together i technically, am a half 4d student.

wait

that reminds me of a... subshell?

haha. anyway so faith and i were as usual very punctual ( i don't have a bad habit of being late thankyou). =] thanks for the little gifts girl! she makes me earrings everytime we see each other. and i have 7 pairs made by her, inclusive of one pair rachel made with her. PSST. i'll take pictures of them next time when i have gotten myself out of this jungle of books. please go to http://theteddybearpicnic.blogspot.com if you want to see marvellous products of faith's shop.

i really enjoy studying with these people, i really do. studying with them humbles myself, because i realise there is just so much i can learn from them - studying techniques, atttitude, etc. each time i meet up with them, i am impressed. so i guess being humble (like what mrs chee always always emphasizes when it comes to learning) will make one go far. =] i think KI - knowledge and inquiry is so amazing, it breaks arguments up, and literally everything we learn on books are hypothesis-made, and the purpose of KI would be to dismantle these theories.

what are we learning? it can be bull-crap, for all you know.

ok even though it might be useless and all shit and we're learning what other people deem it to be, still must study right? =] haha. i'm almost there. i'm asking God for that empowerment. i've prepared well (uggh exxcept for maths haha) so alot of it would be the performance for the exams itself.

YAy! i'm watching shrek 3 with my sister next wednesday. my parents pronounce it as stretch 3.

then saturday was spent lazing around, doing a bit of work here and there.
sunday was FATHER'S DAY!!!! HAPPY DAD's day t0 my papa. he's an amazing man although he doesn't fetch me to school nowadays and i do get a bit disgruntled over it.. but then again, it's a luxury. who ask me to go to MJC which is located in this weird place called pasir ris. then again, it's not that i live in woodlands or lakeside that travelling 40 minutes to school is a chore. it's nearer for me than to TK. my sisters and i tried to cook dinner. ok it wasn't a mess, just sub-standard. i told you i'm a good housewife.

i think i can never be placed in toys'r'us with samantha and cheryl. especially that samantha. haha. we started being imaginary firemen and police women, not forgetting a deadly dosage of volleyball. i'm quite a good volleyball player but samantha thinks i'm not! that's because i hit it further and it went across about one third of the shop. ok so after playing, we waited for the little boy playing Xbox 360. he toook such a long time so we gave up waiting.

i love receiving presents - who doesn't.it means you're loved. giving is better than receiving, sometimes i think that's utter nonsense, but at times, this is so true, so close to your heart. sam made me this picture collage, so many memories came flooding back. cheryl, because of the starry brownie (i think she has magic hands she bakes so well) was late for an hour. and she have me some cute earrings and a handphone chain too.

i gave them a postcard - and the usual intake of sweets, ovalitine.

anyway i met alot of young primary 6 students at TM that day too. they were all carrying what zinc bag lah, billibong, and adidas. what the hell, these little children. i think i was still carrying my sailormoon or hello kitty bag when i was in P6 ok. kids nowadays, growing up too fast.

have you ever wondered why does time pass so fast? and so slow sometimes?

2007-06-13T03:02:00.000-07:00

i think i can take up the job as a part-time celebrity's manager. huiqi's in thailand now, so i was told to help her with the blog post. anyway. it's great! MR TAN KEYHOLE IS COMING TO MJ TO TEACH NEXT YEAR!!

hope for chemistry. i'm going to work very hard for this subject. =]

2007-06-11T08:11:00.000-07:00

yesterday was rest day.

i never never really had a rest day where i was free from the entangling ropes of work and revisions, or rather, never had i given myself a chance to do so. that was perhaps because school used to be real fun, i never thought i was really, mugging.

ok so my official leave day went pretty well, starting off with lunch at kallang airport. i met my secondary school friend joel phang too. looking good, as always. =] after that, my family and i headed down to the expo for the john little sale. there wasn't anything spectecular there, and we ended up buying glass mugs. coincidentally a kampong festival was held there, and mom bought lots of kueh bahlus. a maternity fair was going on too, so there definitely was much hustle and bustle over at the expo.

following that, we went to dad's office for karaoke. yeah the place was huge. so our voices resonated across the entire place that looked like a more high class and not so sleazy pub. came home, dinner, tv.

i realise i can't insert any life, any scintilla of exuberance into my blog post abt my leave day.
isn't it supposed to be fulfilling and full of excitement,since you don't study? i certainly do enjoy my family's company, but there is this intangible sense of regret.

work seemingly gives me a sense of satisfaction. not that i enjoy sticking my butt on the chair, staring blankly at my notes, or writing geography notes furiously, or jabbing the buttons on my bulky GC( ok i hate using the GC!!!!). but i certainly feel less guilty if i spend some time studying.

i might become a workaholic in due time. trust me, it's not the school environment. it's me. so is it good or bad? or have i always been a workaholic? i doubt so.

today was mathematics remedial. the whole thing came and went, like a gust of wind. we sat in the classroom for hours, with miss lee's husky (oh no it's not very husky lah haha) voice ranting on and on and on. i was copying blindly, like a sheet of cloth bundled across my eyes, and me, aimlessly doing a carbon copy (only in a sweet array of colours like orange, green and pink)of what was being scribbled on the board with inkless markers, the purple stains on the board fading, fading away.. i better start putting some sense into what i'm doing.

i would rather the day pass by placidly without a worry, without a care. i would rather my day pass like the gentle swashes that leap upon the shore, and the backwashes that diminish quietly back into the deep, blue ocean. that reminds me of an innocent child, building sandcastles in the air - literally.

but then again, there goes another day.

The Winner©
By William Wilson Hare

What of the lad who never wins,
but never quits the race?
Who knows before the day begins,
he's doomed to second place.

Two left feet; too many thumbs
but still he plods ahead.
He'll arrive to catch the crumbs,
after the winners have been fed.

Who is this lad of average skills,
who's most of the human race?
One by one he'll climb life's hills,
just trying to keep life's pace.

2007-06-08T07:23:00.000-07:00

: emotional intelligence. to put it in layman terms, it's just what we commonly are associated to - EQ. it measures the way you get along with people.

as quoted from wikepedia:
Some researchers believe EI is a cognitive ability just as is IQ (eg, Mayer & Salovey, 2000), others believe it is a combination of perceived abilities and traits (e.g., Schutte et al. 1998), while others consider it a skill that can be measured (such as Bradberry and Greaves 2005). These opposing views have inspired separate domains of inventories.

i think it's so cool, it's indeed a God-given present. the human mind is such a powerful and amazing tool beyond your own imagination. so, remove all your inhibitions and let that creative spark bring you far! i'm talking rubbish.

so, people with high emotional intelligence have their own individual ways with treating people, in a diplomatic manner so we make sure we don't offend anyone. have u ever thought about karma? is it for real? what comes around, goes around, what goes up, must come down.
i dont still don't quite get the latter phrase. does it mean that one can't stay at the top always? can one alwaye be on the opposite end of failure - success,victory,achievement? such a thing?
but karma is one concept which u can possibly apply to your everyday life - for the same judgement you give people, people would on the other hand, judge you in the same way. i feel guilty at times about this too - why try to remove that speck of sand from the eyes of others, when a huge, bulky plank of wood is blocking your vision? (from the book of matthew).

OK ANYWAY< our straits times reporter gang for food review around singapore consisted of :huiqi, me, sarene, beatrice and ben. under the tutelage of our fantastic chief editor huiqi, we managed to have a great time running around the east, giving comments for all the food we took. YUMMY!!!!!! =] please refer to chief editor's blog at http://huiqi-lemongurl.blogspot.com

(disclaimer: there were some MINOR, i repeat minor moments of embarrassement like sneaking out of the wa-something jap restaurant after we realised the food was so expensive that SPH could not sponsor us, and also reading this pri2 student's compre, that left me and huiqi bursting out in gaffaws outside a tuition centre, and making this certain man who stamped his foot while we were sticking our faces at the transparent glass panel at cocoa trees, parkway. (we weren't blocking the way anyway, he can write to straits times forum to complain haha)

i miss parkway! =] and we saw many familiar TK Faces like craig from 4k. mdm faridah used to scold him all the time during english AG lessons. and we saw martin from 4d (whom i made friends with on the last day of school) and jianrui's good friend, jarrretteth. whatever u spell his name, i'm not a journalist.

this is the plot from the pri2 kid's story.
this boy, (name shall not be revealed to keep privacy intact) was sleeping and suddenly he woke up because he found out that a CAT was beside his bed. he took a pail of water and splashed it on the cat. then his neighbour downstairs shouted up because of the water. after that we were pulled away by the other journalists.

now we know how a pri 2 student thinks. didn't the boy had parents?

2007-06-07T02:25:00.000-07:00

there's this really wweird debate going on at huiqi's blog. i believe she wouldn't have been so stupid and dumb to have copied wholesale from amanda chong's essay (aiyah anyone in the right frame of mind wouldn't want to be accused of infringing her copyrights). amanda chong's writing was indeed a good source of inspiration, and her way of writing would definitely prove to be worthy because people can learn from her style of fluent writing, the way she describes in such a flowery manner. haha. i still remember the first sentence, about the car careening down the highway and "elaine" clucking away angrily on her phone.
so whatever the debate is about, let's be objective about it. huiqi, no doubt, she has excellent writing skills, and although the general plot was inspired by chong, we cannot dispel the FACT that huiqi, herself, is a commendable writer who will respect others' work as well.

let's be happy people =]

SMILE!

and i'm going to become like this goatie here. my braces appointment is on the 28july!

2007-06-06T01:14:00.001-07:00

lioness. female lion.

im beginning to think maths is hEOOOOrrible. i'm having so much difficulty doing summation and my sis just gives me that -.- "i think you're pretyt dumb' look when she sees me with a sullen face entering her room, clutching sheets of paper.

today or rather yesterday i wanted to blog about what makes a TK student special.

- we wear green skirts and blouses with our sleeves folded up 7 times. and all those telok kurau people love love love to copy us, only that they always fail. thank goodness they changed their uniform last year to some pale yellow thinggo.

- our blouses are usually tucked out. it's the trend here in tk

- we love to bully our lower sec teachers, but...

-show our upper sec teaches loads of respect.

- we are always seen hanging out at parkway, ogling at the weird stuff they sell there. (and ya the food court sells really nice grass jelly)

- we slack very hard, but study very hard towards O levels.

- our average L1R5 thisyear was 12.2

-we are always staying back in school till very late because of remedial lessons and tests. i still remember the times where we stayed till six pm just to complete a chem test, when school ended at 230pm. and we were made to wait very long before the test commenced, because mrs chee was teaching in another class. ah, she's always late)

- we are a very outspoken bunch of people.

- we have the X factor. hey actually i do mean it. we're all mad and crazy and fun-loving.

ok. this is random. =]

and yay thanks to sarene and huiqi who went down together to order the class jerseys, we should be getting them quite soon.

the reality of dreams.

A third of average people's life is spent asleep.

During a typical lifetime, a person spends around 6 (over 2,100 days) years dreaming.

Dreams have existed from the dawn of humankind. The first known records of dreams were made 4,000 years ago.

The art of dream interpretation has existed nearly as long. Dream interpreters were used even in the early day of Rome where they were advising senators before making political decisions.

Everyone dreams, even if we don't remember it afterwards. An average person dreams between four and seven times a night.

Some animals dream, too. The scientist are sure that all mammals are capable of dreaming, and it is suspected that some other animals like reptile may dream as well. We have no idea though what they may dream about.

Without dreaming people will soon suffer personality disorders and severe psychological problems. While the exact function of dream sleep remains a mystery, dreaming is necessary for us to live and keep our sanity intact.

Blind people can dream, too. Their dreams may contain visual images if they have been able to see earlier, but the dreams of those who have been blind since their birth do not. Such dreams are made entirely of sounds, smells and touch sensations.

Oftenitmes we forget dreams as soon as we wake up. Probably as much as 50% of the content of any dream is lost within five minutes of waking. After 10 minutes we can forget even 90% of the dream content.

The word "dream" comes from Middle English. There the word, "dreme" meant "music" and "joy". This indicates that dreams have been treated as a source of inspiration and wonder.
Most men usually have dreams about other men, but women have dreams about both sexes in similar proportions.

Human brain is more active when we're sleeping than when we're awake.
People who are awakened during dream sleep are usually able to describe their dreams very vividly. Those who wait until morning often do not remember a thing.

Both men and women sometimes experience sexual arousal during their dreams, often with little regard to the content of the dream.

Toddlers do not dream about themselves. Until a toddler reaches three or four, he/she does not show in his/her dreams.

You can't snore and dream at the same time.

The children nightmares are common. They begin at the age of three and generally last until the child reaches seven or eight years old.

Over 60% of people report at least one Deja vu experience in their dreams. Such dreams occur more frequently in women than in men.

What Your Soul Really Looks Like

You are a warm hearted and open minded person. It's easy for you to forgive and forget.
You are a very grounded, responsible, and realistic person. People may not want to hear the truth from you, but they're going to get it.
You see yourself with pretty objective eyes. How you view yourself is almost exactly how other people view you.
Your near future is a lot like the present, and as far as you're concerned, that's a very good thing.
For you, love is all about caring and comfort. You couldn't fall in love with someone you didn't trust.

i always know i can count on them to eat icecream, eat banmian, talk about clothes (which i seldom do), fix the bicycle wheels at east coast, the trip to ben's corner, the funny things to talk about (like what a big joke we can make out of in front and behind). we can always make jokes out of everything we see.

i can always count on them to know that there's innocence in everyone, and that the world is filled with happy and gay people, without a care in the world. i'm so glad to have met my best friends on wednesday. and samantha can u try to upload the pictures at t0m's palette! i know u are a noob but pleeeese try!

k. so after chemistry lecture that day (dang i had so many careless mistakes for the test!) i took a bus down to east coast road. after i alighted from the bus i thought roxy square had changed alot. the i realised i accidentally stepped into paramount shopping centre -.-. dumbass me! this happens when you have not been to your territory for too long. we started talking non-stop, saying lame stuff.

we couldn't stop.

and because sam is such a camwhore she started taking pictures with everybody. =] she's really pretty with contacts!! though she loks older. read - older, not old. haha

we went to bugis. saw this really funny purse that read "coffee beings". i'm no fan of shopping because i lack the purchasing power. you know REAL INCOME yah, students where got income? anyway, there are alot of offers going on and i saw this really nice sun dress at icoN, and i did enjoy looking at so much stuff. =] after that came the long awaited wait for ice cream at shaw towers. man the apple pie rocked because it wasn't too sweet. the green tea ice cream was kindof bitter, but i'll give you the same satisfaction as it really screams "nice" at your tastebuds.

i love the old people, period.

2007-05-31T00:58:00.000-07:00

tralalaa. i can smell the weird stench of burnt ashes. is it because it's vesak day today? today i spent 4 hours studying chemistry and geog. i should have gone for the HSBC tree top walk with my dad and my sister.

oh speaking of my sister, SMU law called her yesterday and she's been accepted. thing is, the students who were successful for SMU law were also successful candidates for NUS law, so there was a deficit of students for SMU. =] yeah. and i'm starting to feel the heat. my mom keeps pestering (ok i should not use pester. it sounds like she's a rat). OK She keeps asking me if i know which faculty i wanna be in if i get into university. wait- you see, i can't even guarantee myself there in university considering that there's such strong competition. =[ arts and social science? i ask myself if that's really what i wanna do. i have the passion for a subject like geography (man but studying it is so painful haha) and even for economics - i do like econs alot! =]

but what job prospects can it offer me? i feeel like i'm speaking in an aunty persona, but really, things nowadays are so expensive. so to be practical, i really do wish to get a decent job that pays me a fair amount so i have money for personal wants. and you know raising a child is so expensive nowadays? you have to pay for your kid's school fee, medical fees, and especially your kid's "retail theraphy wants" since kids today are so materialistic. haha. so i wonder if i still want to have children in future, and if i really want to do arts and social science. even for things like business admin faculty, it's like so common, and you can get in with mediocre grades. and i don't want just mediocre grades. because if i rest on this mentality, i'll end up with absymal results. and my parents are not made of gold or silver so going overseas to study is dumb. (anyway it's only those who can't make it with their results to a local U that they go overseas unless you have scholarship which is really really a testimony of your hard work and success). and i'm being very discriminating here, but hey it's true. i'm feeling so cynical today. must have been the math. heh.

2007-05-28T22:25:00.000-07:00

i caught pirates of the caribbean - at world's end yesterday!!!

YAY my my the show was super long. 170 minutes. and half the time i was clueless about what they were fighting over because i didn't watch curse of the black pearl and dead man's chest. very action-packed movie, i LOVEEEE the sound tracks reminds me of TK band.woohoo. okay i think jack sparrow is so so so funny and cute. although he's a hedonist in the show who really doesn't care much. but the last part was so sad, imagine u have to wait 10 years before u see your husband!! elizabeth swan's so pretty. what's her real name it starts with the letter K.keira something.

i think some parts were super funny, like when the indian pirate said, " and at dawn, we shall go to war!" actually i wished i had caught dead man's chest since it's a continuation. Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann ally themselves with Captain Barbossa in a quest to free Captain Jack Sparrow from Davy Jones' locker. Naomie Harris was kind of scary in the show but her funny accent was cool. i couldn't stand the part when she disintegrated to become weird brown balls man, and tha part when this guy licked the brain. think it was jack sparrow's hallucination.

overall it was an exciting movie, worth every bit of my money. and it's cool that the entire MJ cohort booked the theatre. YAYNESS! i suddenly feel MJ is so cool and hip and happening, other than the mugging culture. haha.

and anyway. GP yesterday was ok surprisingly. i didn't expect a question like "the influence of the mass media is largely negative". so i hope i'll do well in it. anyway i saw my darling rabbit at marina square yesterday, she's holding 2 jobs now. happy working. and yeong chyun made a fool of himself at the atrium yesterday. ahah. following that we had fun at the esplanade and i can't belive it's NATIONAL EDUCATION. thanks hay for the pictures!!!

the place where we pretended to be very patiotic CJC students. WE LOVE CJC! catholic, catholic!! =] i think the patrons were quite angry with us for laughing so loudly. thanks to huiqi for bringing up the choinathan jc thing. anyway jon's a nice dude to talk to.

from left: hayden, benjamin, me, yanying, ah meng, huiqi cg rep, evan (OH MY WE HAVE SO MUCH IN COMMON when it comes to choral stuff), shimin, shihui, beatrice or mother woo, sarene, eunice whom u can't really see, mother chua, OYC the indian man and brother jon.

501 at the esplanade with mother chuaaaaaa!! =]

2007-05-26T02:00:00.000-07:00

if someone planted an acorn for every kind word you said

and chopped down a tree for every unkind word u said

would your garden be a forest or a desert?

ok. i should be feeling guilty. haha!

I know I stand in line
Until you think

You have the time

To spend an evening with me

And if we go

Someplace to dance

I know that

There's a chance

You won't be

Leaving with me

Then afterwards

We drop into

A quiet little place

And have a drink or two

And then I go

And spoil it all

By saying something stupid

Like "I love you"

I can see it in your eyes

That you despise

The same old lines

You heard the night before

And though it's

Just a line to you

For me it's true

And never seemed

So right before

I practise every day

To find some

Clever lines to say

To make the meaning

Come through

But then I think

I'll wait until the

Evening gets late

And I'm alone with you

The time is right

Your perfume

Fills my head

The stars get red

And oh the night's so blue

And then I go

And spoil it all

By saying something stupid

Like "I love you"

I love you

SOMETHING STUPID - ROBBIE WILLIAMS AND NICOLE KIDMAN

nicole kidman's such a talented, fine lady. =] (that's nice)

she sings very well .i love her crystal clear soprano voice (that's nice too)

she's a professional actress (that's nice three)

and she's super hot and i adore her. (that's very nice of me to say that)

yay! i have 4 trees in my garden. haha i'm in self delusion. i'm crazy today. anyway RJC girls won the soccer championships too. what pros.

2007-05-24T18:32:00.000-07:00

yestArday was sucha rockin' dayyyyyy.
i'm typing in a texas accent and since i've already failed hopelessly, let's get back to normal english.

ok firstly the soccer match was great though RJC emerged victorious, after that 52nd minute score. and i realised alot of their players are from china. what's this man. haha OK. although we are disappointed, i really felt the spirit and the camaraderie and the meridian might. i swear we were at least 4.7 times louder than RJC (that's because the whole school went down). though it was a heart-wrenching experience, both teams deserved to win, and i guess it was a matter of fate and it's ok, God's grace. there's always next year.. =]

in fact in a soccer match it's that easy to make it or break it, simply because there are only 2 teams playing and each team has a 50% probability of winning - and that other chance of losing is also 50%. so MJC SOCCER WAS FANTASTIC. and RJ played well too, with their aggressive foray. but kenneth said many of the rafflesians wrote off their school right from the start, so they should be feeling sour that they won?

ok enough said of soccer. choir concert was great - not professional, but it was more like an entertaining show with colourful costumes and dazzling make-up. and more like a musical towards the end. we cheered like mad when TK CHOIR came on stage - i LOVEE TK CHOIR. AHS choir was excellent also, i thought their altos were very strong. i was forseeing that the secondary school choirs would outshine the main lead.i did feel that in my heart (which is perhaps because i am not being very objective here. but that because i have been in both TK and MJ choir so i can be objective about it) yeayyay i'm so proud of being a tk'sian.

but i felt kind of lost and sad, and i pondered on why i quitted choir. i love singing, but i guess staying in MJ choir would have given me not just reluctant tempers to enter the choir room, but also sleepless nights trying to rush homework,scoldings from my parents and failing grades. i was so so so so glad to see those bunch of old people again. after the concert ended we formed our own chamber choir, singing gloriously outside VCH. recollecting those triumphant moments ( wait, we are still victorious what)

we caught the last train home after running 240m from VCH to raffles place mrt. we gripped each others' hands tightly, gave that warm and comfortable hug after the night was over, and it was a memory to remember.

i'm glad God gave me a chance to see those old faces again, because they never change and we'll still be great friends forever. i'm glad i still have huiqi in my class, and i really treasure her presence.

2007-05-23T06:28:00.000-07:00

today was a day of conflict. not in terms of physical conflict (unless you're talking about colossuem). it was a day of mental conflict, bagged with emotions, tears and tissue. i really didn't expect the day to turn out like this, especaially when everything came at a go, so sudden, so abrupt, so shocking.

it all started out when our goeog tutorial ended, and mrs chua wanted to make an announcement. we innocently thought she was going to comment on our mid year content. in her usual, gentle voice, she deadpanned,"i'm not going to teach you all anymore".

sarene and i stared at each other with a look of disbelief written on her face. that sentence resonated around the usual quiet geog room. that thought zapped through my brain left right right left. did my pair of ears just failed me?

no, i wasn't living in delusion, i wasn't wading in a river of oblivion. we were sunk into immediate depression - and it meant REALITY. so mrs chua's not going to be our CT anymore, because she's going to DHS to teach. i felt like i was pushed down a cliff, then being bounced back to reality, with scars all over my body. with a broken ankle. sarene was crying, i was crying, jaime and OYC was on the verge of tears. blue funk.

why would i even have been so downcast by this piece of news? it wouldn't have been so bad if it was like oh, if that came out from mr gua's mouth.(though i would be a little sad coz we won't be able to bully him) that sense of attachment to mrs chua was rigid, was tenacious. she was a convincing lady, influential in making us feel that we were really essential and important to her. she never judged us by our academic results, she was never a pendantic-oriented teacher unlike some others who look down on you just because you produced mediocre grades. she never did entice us with any goodies like chocolates for us to do well in tests, but that human touch - that distinct respect she had for everyone of us. that's why she garnered so much respect from every student in 501. her greatest attribute would be that she's kind, she gave us zealous love, and she bothered to know how u felt about eveything.

she was a part of our lives in school, and seeing her cheerful smile in the morning was one of those things she made me look forward to in MJ.

i felt like it was history slamming back into my face, a piece of news God wanted me to swallow without even gracing me with time to chew it and mix it with my saliva and let it slide down my oesophagus and let it settle happily and comfortably in my tummy. i had to accept it that hastily, still feeling absurd about what was given to me. it was a flim, a flim with its content fast fowarding in the opposite direction. when dorea left MJ for TJ, it was such a "fast fact" that i had to accept, and now THIS. i'm not disgruntled with God or at anyone or for everything that's happening, but it's the momenteum that's freaky.

OK. at least we once had her in our lives, and we shouln't be too greedy. stop being emo, can?

colossuem was fun, sarene yanying and i had fun walking round the school and we cheered madly for the she-man, the race horse like jonathan and OYC whose great sportsmanship got him a medal for dance. YAY! =] perkafe was busy today. and we earnt money. congrats to huiqi - MARKETING DIRECTOR! HAYDEN - OP MANAGER!

choir concert and soccer finals tmr. =]

2007-05-19T19:32:00.000-07:00

i come from the best secondary school choir in singapore.

i mean it. i really do.

we were the only secondary school choir to get 90 points and above for this year's SYF.

ok. we are second to VJC choir. (hey really ok, tk choir is ranked second when all e results for e schools are put together.

yah i'm very proud. of course, at least i have something to be proud about if anyone thinks i'm being very shittily arrogant. i love that hoity-toity feeling.

go tk choir =] see you on thurdsay!!!!!thanks huiqi and zhengjun for making my day!!!!!!

and i'm feeling the heat. the phlegm is rising up and my nose is itchy. i feel like getting a chopper to slice off my nose since it's been leaking non stop. i need a plumber. someone bring out yellow pages and flip to the correct page so i can pick up the phone and call for assistance. and i have a math test tomorrow.

it's ok. any day is good with God.

2007-05-18T22:28:00.001-07:00

my heartiest congratulations to the following people/ organisations/ companies:

-michelle leong aka shell-eh aka cucumber leong, the one on far right gripping the marriane chong book, for coming in a close second in our very own MJC mucic-X! anyway i wasn't there but according to huiqi the contestants were freaking good. =]

man i really miss sitting with her, stealing chewing gum with her, and rushing to the audi for Amaths lectures with her. luckily she's still in MJ. and i miss that rachel wong, that fat cat ruhui and that dorea duck. and mrs chee in the background talking to momo. and look! the school is so bright;y coloured with orange ledges, putting a smile on my face every morning.and we have curtains of a sweer pink shade. =] love TK!

- MJC A division soccer guys ( actually i only know a few. that's matthew who played for almost every game, zhijun, syadad (who got red card and was banned for 2 weeks of matches) and luke and razif who injured himself -.-. they really made us proud by putting up a magnificent cut throat performance yesterday against SAJC. NEHHAHA 4-3! so we're playing against RJC next thursday. i think VJ deserves credit for their tough fight against RJ,though they lost on penalty shots.

SEE YOU ON THURSDAY, RJC. =]

haha that sounds so intimidating. but anyway we are staunch supprters of MJC soccer, just like how to cheerecrazily when TK BAND and TK CHOIR is mentioned.

-MJC CHOIR for their GOLD award in the SYF FINALS. =] yeay and coincidentally, the soccer finals next thursday clashes with the mjc choir concert. so we have to rush down to VCH from stadium on thursday.

yay there are so many cool things to look forward to. and on WEDNESDAY there's colosseum. MJ's very own sports day. hope jonathan wins the 800m race. GO JON!!(haha if huiqi reads this. she'll be going "oh my darling on my darling oh my darling choinathan.) there's a secret relationship that we made up, and it shall remain undisclosed just in case any teacher from the PE dept reads it.

this is what huiqi and sarene were doing during GP lessons. the MnMs sure tasted good. you know GP is kind of boring, and with those colourful, tantalising,platable,adorable, appetizing, distinctive, heavenly, luscious, mellow, scrumptious, mouth watering, enticing, ambrosial, toothsome MnMs they certainly help to insert some colour and life into the insipid and mundane GP lesson.

anyway i think the school's really budget. firstly we know we scrimp and save on maintainence fees, like switching off the air-con in the labs 1 minute before the 2nd bell rings, like no air con in the LTS which was the case on friday while doing the geog test, and leaking roofs and all. but even the guest of honour for the student council's investiture was our VICE PRINCIPAL. and the JUDGE for musicX was the same vice principal too. so the VP is really busy with such things. i want to be a VP too!!!

2007-05-18T08:11:00.000-07:00

i just read faith's blog, when she posted on the 8th of may. i really felt tears coming close to me beady eyes. i really miss the roachie toilets without door knobs, i really miss choir (faith!!raisin! wanjing!), i really miss sam and cheryl, i really miss 4C's ruhui, dorea,rachel. em, lilian, michelle (luckily they are in MJ). i really miss mr wee and his weird antics, i really miss mr kang, mrs chee. and sorry to say, even mr teo and his bull's eye. i really miss struggling inn physics.

i think evan's right. i do have a positive take on the future, but i am unwilling to let go of the past.

absence makes the heart grow fonder.

i think we shouldn't take things for granted.

2007-05-18T00:56:00.000-07:00

this week has been one hell of a busy one!! well it's cool, enriching, and painful tooo.

MONDAY

reached school at 630am with huiqi for the perkafe rrevamp announcement! and after that there were overflowing orders for pizza, italian soda (my favourite i love the jelly cubes can), ice cream float, the usual ice cream, waffles and garlic bread. and after my thursday duty and fiday duty i officially confirm i can cook quite well. and my hobby is cooking also lah. haha. so there weren't any tests on monday. but subsequently the morning started to get real bad because i started having routine headaches. =[ (just like huiqi)

TUESDAY

chinese test! like who on earth knows how to study for chinese? anyway miss squirrel gan went ON HOLIDAY and this relief teacher taht looked like miss seah came in to give us the test. her skirt was so short on wednesday man. i think miss H will scream at her for such indifferent attitude.afterall, miss H thinks we do not wear skirts. so after the chinese test came lots of weird things like having to understand bonding and VESPR theory or whatever crap u call that.

WEDNESDAY

i think i should become a sleep specialist. a sleep deficit of 20 hours is equal to someone who's illegal drunk u know. ok so i got headaches on wednesday and thursday morning. a panadol doesn't help much. and there was bizclub rally (GO HUIQI HAYDEN EN CHOU JIA XIAN and who's the last person i voted for??) there was also the student councillor's investiture, but we were watching it from LT 4 instead of the hall which was seriously a waste of time. miss lee came to talk about us about hong kong food and she says we'll all go to sakae sushi buffet if the class passes maths at end of year. YAY. anyway i think the ex-co for council this time is quite OK. catfights, tears, backstabbing, shitwork,credit. that's a students council to me.

THURSDAY

2 tests - chemistry and econs. chem wasn't as difficult as we would have thought, but i started to be very tensed. evan was saying she could feel the tension. and jon was being very hyper and was fidgeting around!! haha anyway our MCQ answers were the same, and he felt pretty confident so it shouldn't be a prob.

FRIDAY

i caught the flu bug from either yeong chyun, hayden or jonathan, should be HAYDEN though. man so i couldn't meet samantha and cheryl. i really wanted to see them but i was feeling really shitty! and mrs LOH as in cindy became very hyper and interaction between us has seen a significant improvement. but anyway the geog test was crappy, because i felt as if i didn't study. all the weathering questions appeared, and i did feel that my efforts went down the drain. oh well it's ok. and there's a myth that certain kinds of foods cause nightmares. check it out!

2007-05-13T02:31:00.000-07:00

woahhh. it's water.

i really do think physics is an amazing thing, but i just don't have any affinity with it. water art works via these logic gates which u learnt in O level physics. i remember it was like the easiest thing towards the end of the syllabus. AND, NOR, NOT gates. what else??

the workings of water art!

pretty flower! thanks to fat cat ruhui for sending this to me =] really interesting. ok i gotta go run now. and i have plenty of stuff to do. there's really alot to study for geog and after 3 hours in my room i only finished volcanoes. basaltic magma there's PAHOEHOE and A'A lava. rhyolitic magma is formed by underplating (dehydration and partial melting) and fractional crystallisation. andesitic magma is from the heat of basaltic magma melting the continental crust. mix with the basaltic magma ( decompressional melting), mixmixmix.

so abstract.

and i just heard paula abdul's promise of a new day on radio.her songs are nice, just a bit back dated. i havent heard simon cowell sing before though. and i want to watch the prison break DVD collecting dust on the shelf. and there are 43 days to mid year and the school gave us a COUNTDOWN CALENDER AND PLANNER!!!! what? i feel like i'm in primary school.but it isn't a bad thing i guess.

after GP MID YEAR which is in 2 weeks ( and i bloody dunno what i've been doing for GP for the past 6 months because the teacher has been so boring, because we hardly have written any essays and this is eroding every ounce of confidence i had). ok back to topic - after the exam we have to go, as a class to some war memorial place. it's under national education, organised by the school.. YAY we're having an NE excursion as a class! are we going to fort siloso?

2007-05-12T05:21:00.000-07:00

this is my 101th post. and i spent 3 frigging days doing that coconut tree after school, returning home at 7 plus for the past nights. and today which is saturday i went back to school again, to paint.

many tests coming up next week - chinese, econs, chem (UHHHUGG ATOMIC STRUCTURE) and geog test. lots to cover for geog! =] and i had a successful chinese oral exam. miss gan's so approachable and i talked to her like a friend.

and i'm having problem understanding chemical bonding man. must go read up. ros lim teaches SO FAST! and next monday's gonna be exciting cos we are gonna make an announcement. actually i'm just supposed to hold the prop up. and thanks joanna for treating us to perkafe icecream today! and shawn for the hard work. and huiqi and charles and jia xian ( GOSH!!yay he's from choir, VS choir yay yay yay) and en chou and geraldine.

finally someone to sing with me!!

2007-05-09T05:04:00.000-07:00

athens, greece.

NEW HOBBY OF MINE = looking for nice beautiful pictures online. YAY! i would like to pursue photography next time if i have the financial backing. haha. any sponsors?

and yeah, so sister didn't get through the SMU law course selection,but she got an offer for double degree from SMU for accountancy and business management. i woner if you'll end up learning less of each degree. haven't heard from NUS law, medicne and dentistry, but i guess her chances aren't high, at all.
at least she has the chance to pursue double degree what, i don't even know where i'm heading towards now.

i hope i'm not losing engine power.

2007-05-05T04:50:00.000-07:00

the verdict's out!!!!

here are my PW group members:

1/ my ever darling dancer OH YEONG CHYUN
2/ my sweet eunice who always give us tissue paper!

3/ the ever-amiable bus pal benjamin

4/ forth but not least. it's that idiotic lemon bimbo. QUEK HUIQI>

haha. it's God's amazing work that this affinity with the lemon bimbo doesn't end. we were wondering whether we would endup marrying the same guy, or even worse, each other.

yUCK how can i fancy such thoughts!!!!!#?!$@

went to visit mrs quek yesterday. i really missed her alot. still remember rachel, huiqi and i always stayed back after school to ask her physics question. her tireless dedication to education really is commendable. and her son is really freakkkking smart. do you know he can speak in complete sentences? he's baout 1 and a half. and he was like " can i have some bakery. moa moa". actually it was the muffins we bought but the packaging was printed with the word bakery. and we had art lesson and dough lessons with him. haha. smart kids! it's all in the genes really.

then i went home to do my econs homework and i realised there's some part of chemical kinetics that i dont understand so i gotta ask ah kua. and we found out ah kua is from TPJC. man when he said AJC i wished he was from AJC like miss michelle lee, but later he said he taught at AJC.

-.- (and the students there were really smart, making his life there easier) and then mr kua mentioned he was very stressed and he doesn't have time to even have lunch. haha. he can always ask his moa moa to make some sandwiches along with a mind-booster drink for lunch.

today went back to school with geraldine, charles, en chou, bimbo Q, and shawn for bizclub revamp announcement. i realise there's so much to be done if you're running a corporate company, so much effort, so much time and committment. luckily i didn't sign up for ex-co. because i think there's suddenly so much stuff to do. then after that i stayed in school with bimbo to finish up binomial theoreom tutorial AND assignment.

YAY!!!

NEXT WEEK - chem nation wide spa (wish me luck =/ )

- chinese oral exam which will be used for mid years and promos.

- finish up the bizclub announcement coconut tree

- reach activity to some intellectually disabled children society on friday. and there's GPP draft 1 submission. i vote OYC to be PW leader.

NEXT NEXT WEEK - chinese test (wah lao)

- chem test - atomic structure and gases. and i can't even do the gases questions because the teacher talks like a bullet train on IVLE. i don't really fancy e-learning.

- geog test litho and weathering and mass movement.

2007-05-03T01:39:00.000-07:00

i really like this picture. there's always a moment to pause and care for the people we love in this fast paced world. see the 3 candles projected on the building? somewhere in america, in memory of the 2004 tsunami victims..

today we spent 15 minutes running our 2.4 in the rain. luckily it was only a trial run. haha and to think i had to answer nature's call in my 4th round.nehahaha.

mrs chua showed us a volcanoes video and it's WAYYYYY too cool! =] i can't imagine people living in harmony with environmental hazards like e/qs and volcanoes and lava flows and tephra and all those man. i love geog. it's so relevant, be it human or physical. and later on there's gonna be economic geog. i guess it's important to love what you're studying. especially GEOG wahhhaha. i wonder if anyone loves chemistry? =/ it's so factual. ( as if geog isn't factual)

wait. mrs chua just told us there's gonna be 4 DRQS and 2 essays for our mid year goeg, which is 3 hours long. so we're just gonna sit there and write till our veins crack for 3 hours. that's like a twelth of a 2.4 run. and she told us we only have a month to go (!!!!!!!!!!!) and we better start studying. studying for MID YEAR. and we had goal setting for compass today. wheeoooowooo. given that our class has got HCM, i think we are quite ready to study.

2007-05-02T05:07:00.000-07:00

today was hilarious.

after having our house nomintations and after the national anthem was played. this particular huge teacher who's the teacher in charge for chest club (chairperson sommore) came up to the row of 501 girls and she hollered " this class!! the girls have such short skirts!! can see your panties already!!!!go alter!"

and we just burst out in gaffaws after nodding our heads, sniggering at her at the same time. she's just so bloody funny lah. LIKE HELLO WE ARE SO MODEL STUDENT-ISH!! go take a look at this particular JC in the east. huiqi mentioned she'll be so shocked at the girls and she'll scream "WHEYYEEE ARE YOU ALL NOT WEARING SKIRTS???$!?$ I CANT SEE THEM!!" yeah she must be blind. she doesnt take chemistry you see so she doesn't understand whats parallex error. you know skirts look shorter from behind, due to the positioning of the knee.

so for the first 15 minutes of the geog tutorial we were complaining about miss H to mrs chua. mrs chua is such a nice cuddly bear like teacher so she was really patient with our whining. haha anyway this can be the joke of the year man. but thanks to miss H, we managed to think of s0me brilliant ideas for ground breakers, the PW topic.

target audience? MISS H.

ok. the 501 people will know about this funny woman.

you know, i really like sandy cheeks. not only is she an athelete, she's cute, has bunny teeth like me ( and cheryl). and she speaks with a texas accent!!!!! =] today was really funny. we were trying out the texas accent during geog tutorial.

and anyway i'm quite sad because i failed my mock chem spa. like who on earth fails chem spa??? just because my titration reading was off, and i had 12 points flying out of the window.

and miss michelle lee, the really good math teacher gave us a good scolding. she lashed out at us for doing realllyyyyy badly for the math lecture test. oh man. and the lowest in class is 2/30. anyway i can't stand this stereotyping that the 5-series classes are considered weaker. she was like "but it's good that my second highest scorer came from this class".

i mean, it's good that she praised us,but it's bad too. and i don't mean to say that she meant any sarcasm. but why stereotype us just because the past 501 classes have very little students producing 3As?

she told us that the 2 series classes were generally more competitive n competent and will do better for A levels, and graduate with their 3 and 4 As, BECAUSE THEY CAME IN WITH 8,9 FOR RAW O LEVEL SCORE.

or maybe we are just not that good at math, and we can fare better at humanities.

like c'mon, didn't WE come in with single digits as well? didn't we make it to the college based on our own merit, based on our olevel results?

many people might put us down, like what they do to the arts classes, just because we takecross combination , just because we take geog which is a very huge art subject, and we don't take heavy sciences like BIO or H2 physics.

but i can for sure say that 501 is a very competent class, with especially hardworking people, people with a thirst to learn. and i can certainly conclude that my classmates will agree with me.

and i assure we will walk out of MJC with good results, just like any value-added student from any other science class.

ROSES FOR YOU

this weekend's tasks

get injection against typhoid

re-do PI but firstly search for a new groundbreaker (!)

do math tutorial and that assignment on eqtns and inequalities

chem gases e learning n tutorial

review geog test

read the geog notes to prevent yourself from getting lost in lecture

econs workbook - redo!

chinese (need to do e worksheet??)

e learning w darling tracie pow for geog. some essay online to be done

e learning for maths

e learning for econs and there's a worksheet to be done.

stuff in school after labour day

-chem test on atomic structure and gases

- can i ask if our class has a chem re-test for mole and redox?

- chinese test (UGGH sounds weird)

- geog test with an undisclosed date

-chem nation wide spa on next x2 monday

-econs? maybe there'll be consolidation test.

- there's no homework for GP.

the school is having an e learning test this week so all the subjects have e-worksheets and assignments to be completed, just in case the whole server fails with the large influx of students.

ok i think i've found my groundbreaker. and to think i came up with it in such a short time! nehahaha. i hope tony buzan doesn't let me down. it seems that he satisfies all the PW criteria. nehahahah.

i jut got my injection for typhoid so yay i'm an official worker at perkafe! gotta check out my duty slots. and there's something called the work attachment programme at perkafe, and i'm in for marketing. i don't think i will be running for any ex co positions at all since i'll be so busy, and they have undeniably stated tat your results will suffer. i really can't afford to take any chances though. why don't they have a post like "cleaning manager"? i can cook, wash, mop and do all sorts of house work. haha.

we had a very enriching GP debate on friday. it was cool, funny, and interesting, with both sides raising very relevant issues about the motion. is singapore a nanny state? we were the opposition, and i can't help but believe we are not. but i mean, we are perceived to be one sometimes. thanks rachel for the points against the banning of gum, simply because it's the retail of gum that's banned. all of us chew gum in class right??

so glad there's a LABOUR DAY to do all the assignments and piling tutorials. YAY! it certainly will be a labour day. intellectual labour i mean. nehahaha.

we received our geog test and thank God i did manage to scrape through to get 17/24 like OYC. i think consistency really plays a role, but that depends on whether you can spare the time to study and revise work during weekends. =]

2007-04-27T06:45:00.000-07:00

man, it's the time of the month again!

ok nevermind. anyway today during lunch we had a very interesting conversation regarding the ex-chinese teacher zhao lao shi and her teddy bear tee shirt, ivan's weird antics. and we also talked about the chest club in MJC and how uncle choi will choose jonathan who's really got nice muscles and good physique to be her next target. AHEM. coupled with the fact that jon has sexy red hot puma shoes it'll entice uncle choi even more. like uncle choi's gonna lure jon to a corner after his 15 pull ups (YES he can do 15 at a go i saw it with my own eyes) then she'll spike his drink, lick her lips and ya. start removing his uniform. he shall be drugged and wake up in a daze, oblivious to how he has lost his.... (yeek i'm so gross)

jon, be careful!!

and guess what i have to re-do my PI ground breaker! =[

2007-04-26T07:32:00.000-07:00

today has been a trying day for many of us in s501. well i guess it's just the pressure building up for many of us due to busy SYF schedules, unfinished homework, abysmal test results. everything gets supressed, till we explode like a volcano, spewing out pyroclastic material which is made of rocks and They are fast-moving fluidized bodies of hot gas, aash and rock (collectively known as tephra) which can travel away from the vent at up to 700 km/h. oh no i'm speaking in geography language!

OK anyway so after our 7 rounds (man!! sarene is super fast i think she can finish her 2.4 in 12 minutes man) around the track today, some complications arose. (got past tense for ARISE?) or arisen. ahhh whatever. emo girls, sick girls, girls in pain. so hope they are feeling better.

so after that we went to collect certs and went to eat katong laksa. i think it's really God's surprise gift to all of us when huiqi called rachel about the 2 rainbows. even though i didn't get to see it, i mean, it's such a blessing.

there are so many things in life that are going for you. like the trees outside along the road, the toothpaste that obediently gets squeezed out when you brush your teeth in the morning, your legs that can carry you to run 7 rounds on the mjc track, the SBS bus driver that sends you to school everyday, the smiles and warm greetings you receive when you start your day in school. the "bye! see you tmr" smses you get at night, just before you finish your homework, close your eyes and go to la la land.
there's no reason to complain.

i'm glad God has made me a happy person.

congrats to YEONG CHYUN, MICHELLE, AMANDA AND MJC DANCE becuse they garnered their GOLD medal in the SYF. woohooo!

and i passed my econs test! 7/10. haha

2007-04-24T02:13:00.000-07:00

that's it!

tuesday, a long lond long day. some of us might even find it dreadful, because there's double chinese period and there's a over-dosage of GP. GP gets boring because the teacher doesn't wish to show us any movies or videos. it's very much like passive learning =/ oh well. and we received our GP essay yesterday. relatively not that bad but i scored a 26 again. clinging on to stagnancy is not what i wish to. anyway i must applaud huiqi in topping our class with a 28/50 for the GP essay.

and yea we are rained down with tests and test results. ah kua returned us the chem test! and guess what, the whole class failed (again) as expected. i can't believe i topped the class with a sub pass.what's that again, 11 and a half over 25. then again, our class only has 14 people. our class representative is set to give us a pep talk. good!

then of course, there are really exciting things to look forward to! there's a GP debate on government. ( oh did i mention exciting GP? does it sound like an oxymoron?) oh wait there's a class lunch on thursday, although school ends at like 4 i think.. all of us have been craving for katong laksa. mmmm.

here's a list of great food within walking distance from tanjong katong secondary. ok lah, or at least it's only a few bus stops away if your legs can't carry you that far. not in any particular order, but these tantilising dishes will make you drool. =]

1. 328 katong laksa along katong road
2. ban mian at roxy square hotel foodcourt
3. fei fei wanton mee at joo chiat road
4. delicious boneless chicken rice (w soup) at katong SC food court
5. space out! cafe at katong SC
6. bubble tea at katong SC
7. parkway foodcourt - i like the yummy steamy thinggy as well as their grass jelly.
8. paya lebar post office macs/ siglap CC macs and their desserts!
9. paya lebar post office roti prata
10. just go to the mini mart outside tanjong katong road there and get yourself an ice cream, or have instant noodles. the uncle and auntie are so hospitable, you get royal treatment.

FOOD!!!!!!!

yesterday morning-

was spent in the school library attending some REACH workshop. it was slightly boring and mundane but nevertheless, it was fruitful.

not to me of course, i could have spent the morning snoozing in bed,then wake up reluctantly to revise monday's math test.

yea! this week will be less taxing because there's gonna be only one test, but it's a huge math test. graphing techniques and functions. =] luckily there isn't any trigo, or we shall all die flat.

there's a hardcore mugger in my class ( as mentioned in HQ's blog)

will people resort to underhand means to get what they want, to ace their tests and emerge as tops? nah, i don't think so.

or maybe, i am starting to believe so.

what's the differerence over being OPPORTUNISTIC, and resorting to underhand means? both can be viewed in the same, or different manner.

but at this stage, when the race has just begun? isn't it ridiculous?

food for thought. oh well maybe you all don't know what i'm talking about. i can say that this is my first encounter with someone like this. quite interesting, =) but let's just hope this doesn't explode into a fabricated competition.

when's the chinese test?

"There are many students who are troubled and many who have a fascination with death, but it doesn't mean that they are going to kill people "
Robin Kowalski, psychologist

that piece of news about the south korean guy who massacred 32 people+ himself at virgina tech uni left the whole world shocked and appalled. gosh. can't believe anyone living in this society could have performed such a cold blooded act. this shows a total lack of civility, inept of a heart.

but could we really blame him, since he was already psychologically and mentally unsound to start off with?

why wasn't his condition kept under control? was he living in a world of his own that no one wanted, or even dared, to reach out to him?

toay was supposed to go visit mrs quek but in the end i ended up going for math consultation with sarene, jaime and ben. it was more like remedial, but i really appreciate miss lee's dedication and she's a really great math tutor.=] so i'm quite driven to get at least a C for nect week's test.

replies to tag

to kenneth: haha but the short test was quite accurate! at least for me i guess! =]
huiqi: yeah gold with honours, nothing less than that. glad they could defend that title of theirs. TK ROCKS!

weeheee! i jsut finished a test marathon.
tuesday was econs test. wednesday was geog test ( yyrrrhh does not bode well at all) and chem test today. as usual MJ's weird chem test expect lots from you and so everyone (i really meant everyone) guessed the last 5 mcq questions.

oh wait. there were 5 MCQs to guess. so i placed DCABB.

yesterday was really an enriching outing at yakult factory, thanks to hsien mei who took pains to organise the first field trip for bizclub. the guy who came to do the presentation spoke very softly about the shirota bacteria in the drink. and with one drop of yakult there were millions of wriggling worms. oh i mean bacteria. but because yakult is really delicious. i like it better than vitagen!

after that the other presenter who brought us into the viewing place was really funny. he kept digressing and talked about his love story and past in river valley high chinese school (long name) and then when he went to national JC he knew not a word of english. and when he went to bio class he thought he had gone to some photography club meeting because the teacher wrote photosynthesis on the balckboard, leaving him and his classmate puzzled. after asking us and reminding us to study hard ( because he has been working for yakult for 27 years), he kept emphasising that studying was the best. or you can always end up getting stuck at the yakult factory packing yakult, doing that same old mundane thing for 10 hours a day.

so true. studying is still the best.

ONCE AGAIN

THE TANJONG KATONG SECONDARY SCHOOL CHOIR HAS CREATED HISTORY BY GARNERING THE HIGHLY-HONOURED (AS THE TITILE SUGGESTS)

GOLD WITH HONOURS AWARD

AT THE SINGAPORE YOUTH FESTIVAL CHORAL COMPETITIONS

yes! the egoism is bursting in me.
elated when ah boy zheng jun messaged me the result.
i'm so proud of you guys.
i love tk choir!

2007-04-17T03:32:00.000-07:00

replies to tag:

kenneth: hey baby food is good ok. haha at least mine tasted decent, like some cranberry jelly. we can buy you some for your 18th birthday.

huiqi: yeah and for chem also. so difficult. but let's put our best foot forward!

samantha: hey haha sorry i went back with faith, huiqi and rachel and hayden.

cheryl: hey sweetie! thanks so much for the recipie!!

tomorrow is TK CHOIR's syf day. here's wishing them all the best, because gold with honours is in their hands. i can only pray for the best for them =] go tk choir!!!!!!!!

i could still remember the same scene 2 years ago. we spent about 2 hours in the morning doing full warm ups. we went to conference hall. sang. it was so quick.when they announced our winning, i grabbed dorea's hand and we started crying. teatrs of joy. man!

the last time i felt like this was during O level release. faith and i went euphoric, mad with joy and relief.

anyway today we had a very efficacious conference, and i'm so glad we all managed to clear things up. i admire his way of accepting what we really felt was going on in the underneath conflict, and i'm glad it wasn't even a problem. i think ben's right. maybe we should always give people the benefit of the doubt, thus it makes things easier for ourselves. =] there's a weird geog test tomorrow! OH NO.

anyway econs test today was good. i never felt so good for a test in a long time.

today was comfort food day. the three of us went to ben and jerry's because it was free cone day. amazingly, they were very efficient and we were happily licking our chunky monkey, choc fudge and ( cant remember hay's flavour) like little kids. haha!

Artist: The Wonders
Song: That Thing You Do!

You,
Doin' that thing you do,
Breaking my heart into a million pieces,
Like you always do

And you,
Don't mean to be cruel,
You never even knew about the heartache,
I've been going through

Well I try and try to forget you girl,
But it's just so hard to do,
Every time you do that thing you do

I,
Know all the games you play,
And I'm gonna find a way to let you know that,
You'll be mine someday
'Cause we,
Could be happy can't you see,
If you'd only let me be the one to hold you,
And keep you here with me

'Cause I try and try to forget you girl,
But it's just so hard to do,
Every time you do that thing you do

I don't ask a lot girl,
But I know one thing's for sure,
It's the love I haven't got girl,
And I just can't take it anymore

'Cause we,
Could be happy can't you see,
If you'd only let me be the one to hold you,
And keep you here with me
Cause it hurts me so just to see you go,
Around with someone new,
And if I know you you're doin' that thing,
Every day just doin' that thing,
I can't take you doing that thing you do

i heard this song on class95 while trying to digest chua's geog notes. geog's getting tough.this is one of huiqi's favourite songs (me too). we go crazy dancing eveytime we hear this. yay and i'm visiting mrs quek next friday. i miss her so much, even though i dont like physics. i still remember asking "why do we learn physics?" and she said so next time you can tell your children about magnetic induction. =] i miss her motherly talks. think we can go look for shoes too on that day at queensway!

2007-04-14T02:22:00.000-07:00

today's saturday!!! finally i could sleep and roll about in bed like a pig till 830am this morning. that's heaven. plus, the weather was so cooling last night. YAY! woke up, ate, went downstairs to teach ben chem ( that rhymes) and anyway. in the end i was the one who got that frigging chemistry question wrong and he ended up teaching me question 9! great. so we end up learning from each other.

i just finished the draft proposal. yayness again, and i tried doing that graphing tech tutorial but as usual, math is never productive. there's lots to do this weekend. JIAYOU!!

and there's this thing that's bugging me - i really don't like copycats, because it just goes to show they lack creativity and have to resort to stealing other people's material and passing it off as their own. i havent told anyone about it except for lemona.

hmmmmmmmm.
