Sound Horizon

2009-12-10T02:15:00.004+08:00

KONBAWA!!! XDXD Haha sorry been listening too much to Japanese music these days =) My gosh. Anywayz today I will be blogging about two things: Sound Horizon, a J-Pop Band, and Diablo, a book/game =] Sooo...let's not waste any time shall we people? *flexes her fingers* IKUYO!!!!

~~Sound Horizon~~

omgomgomgomgomgomg! Tell you ever since I heard a combined performance by Kajiura Yuki and Sound Horizon, a song which goes by the name of Sajin No Kanata E, I have been absolutely, 100%-ly, definitely hooked onto Sound Horizon. I really really really <3>

Just a little background on Sound Horizon...sry had to get it from wiki cause i can't read japanese for nuts...so it might not be too accurate.

Anyway just a little brief intro abt them. They're a Japanese musical group also known as Sanhora by fans and we have Revo as their leader. Not surprisingly they call themselves the 'fantasy band' which I find really suits their kind of songs...if you're an avid listener of their songs you would definitely know what i mean =] If you are not...GO CHECK IT OUT!! Revo-Sama(sry my friend influenced me into calling him tt) first released his music creations on his webby in 1990s (gosh tt was when I was born). Sound Horizon participated in Comic Market(or Comiket: the world's largest handmade comic book fair) as part of a doujin circle and that was when their first story CD ~Chronicle~ was released. It was an all-instrumental track CD with occasional narraation, background chorus + sound effects. Only in their second album (Thanatos) onwards did they begin to include actual singing. Their first major release was in 2004: Elysion ~Rakuen e no Zensōkyoku~ (lit. Elysion ~Prelude to Paradise~)

To date they have 6 Doujin albums, 6 Major released albums and 4 Collaboration albums.

One Worlds' Event + Parents' Forum o.o

2009-11-05T15:29:00.003+08:00

Whoah...School has just reopened for a few weeks and I have already attended two major events. One World Day as well as Parents Forum. Hmmmm I shall start with the more recent one first since my memory about it is clearer. Actually it was just a few hours ago and I am now blogging about it in the library ^^ sitting down, watching Swan Princess with my friend while she waits for her camera to be charged (and freezing my ass off).

Well for One World Day, I was part of a group called Stompers. No people, for those who are thinking we start stomping around it's so not the case. Remember the musical called Stomp? We are named after that musical. The whole group of us (Me, plus two other Year-1s as well as 4 Year-2s, all of us being from DMC) were carrying pails, pots n a wastepaper basket, all being whacked by drum sticks. Oh and quite ironically, i was the smallest in terms of size, yet I carried the largest pail to hit. Hmmm....my right arm was aching after that cause it was used to carry the pail whilst my left arm was used to hit. *groans* and that was when we were still in rehearsal!!!
Anywayz before that...whilst waiting for the actual event to start...we were literally stoning around...and I was having hunger pangs >_> dammit =( Well, before we knew it we got the show on the road. First item...us...it was a combined performance by us Stompers (Mixed), the Daiko drummers(All females) and the Chinese Orchestra Drummers (All males). The performance went pretty well though i'd say...no one could tell that we sort of screwed up a bit. The timing was a little off and lucky for me I wasn't the one who started it off so there was just that teensy bit of time for me to recover and get myself back on track.

After us, it was a dance performance by some...Year-twos i think...not sure if they were in their second or third year. But yeah there were 3 pairs who went up to dance: one was ... err..indian? arabian? i had no idea...next was a pair dressed in some chinese style but I couldn't remember what song was used...now the last pair was probably the most striking. They used Michael Jacksons' "Beat It" to dance to...as a finale, all 3 pairs joined in and started groovin' to the beat.

I just had fun standing by the side and watching....before I ran into Kylie and went off for lunch...

Yeah yeah i skipped Economics lecture....but hey!! I have an excuse okay?? LOA (Leave of Absence) cause I was involved in One World Day!! Had the badge to prove it ^^Kylie did not though...oh well...it was her one and only time which she skipped lecture so i guess they wouldn't really bother...=) LUCKY YOU KYLIE!! Lunch was horrendous though...I was so hungry that I couldn't eat -_-" okay okay i know my body is weird! I know my body has...well...issues...ahh heck! Must be my JC life that made me this way...sianzzzzzzzz

So anyway, Kylie and I walked around to check out the various booths...she took a few free food samples...which I outright refused to...cause I simply do not enjoy snacks. I did, however, try out the fish crackers...tasted strange...perhaps I just was not accustomed to the taste. Oh and the korean making doll session was quite nice to watch...

Finally it was over and Kylie and I decided to stone inside the former Biz IT library...XD

That's all for the event ^^

Now...Parents Forum...I literally spent my whole time inside the classroom that I was stationed at taking photos. I was assigned to T2127...where the DADP people were...(Diploma in Applied Drama and Psychology) I was watching Forum Theater throughout the entire time...both the rehearsals and the actual performance...after awhile I realized I was photographing the same thing over and over and over and over again. I thought to myself...better change angle...so I hopped over to my friend's side who was taking a video of the entire play. However I have to admit it was quite interesting...Forum theater.

Forum theater is about the characters acting out a problem which is never solved. During the first round of acting, audiences are to...well...put it simply, act as audiences. Sit down and watch. Get the idea of the play's story. However during the second round of acting, audiences can shout freeze at any moment, in which the characters will freeze. They are then able to replace any one of the characters to provide a solution to the problem which the play was trying to portray. I had to admit it was a pretty cool scenario. Using acting to solve a problem, instead of some scientific logical explanation. I absolutely love it XD

Okay I know I'm sorry it's a really really overdue post. But i was busy =( haha okay ciao peeps~~

Can logics/emotions exist in one being with no conflicts?

2009-09-21T01:20:00.009+08:00

Ahh...the typical question asked when doing facebook personality quizzes..."Is your mind ruled by your head or heart?" or something along that line...*thinks for a moment* yeah something like that. That's what I feel like talking about today ...

Now...to be the perfect being, we would probably be able to strike a balance between logic and emotions...meaning we are both logical and yet sensitive at the same time...what do you people think? I personally have formed an opinion that to be both logical and sensitive...it's near impossible...if you achieve that stage...you can be known...well...in DOTA terms as Godlike. I shall marvel at anyone who has actually reached that stage. Let us be realistic, practical and down-to-earth over here. Logic and emotions are like two opposite ends of the spectrum. There are countless occassions whereby you cannot give an answer which are both logical and sensitive.

A typical example would be someone you know really well and you are good friends with has a stinking attitude. Now, the logical thing to do would be to tell that person his/her attitude stinks. However that would be logic and not sensitive. If you want to be sensitive you say no you don't suck or keep quiet if he/she doesn't ask. Another example...again a gd friend of yours comes up to you and complains about how their parents are treating them, but you are able to tell that they are at fault and it's really not their parents, except for the fact that their parents are concerned. Logic: Be direct. tell them it's their fault; Sensitive: Agree with them, listen to them rant. In both cases, you can't do both can you? If you do people would think u shud be in the looney bin or something or they would think of it as a joke.

Logic. scientists revel in them, facts and formulas are based on them, engineers live with them. What is logic? When we do or say something, people go: "Hmmm that's logical" or "that's completely illogical" Who are we to question logic? It's like questioning facts and formulas...and going right down to the core basics...you would either get a very complicated answer which you have absoloutey no clue on what they are saying...or you would simply get a "just accept it!" response ^^ Now...do you think humans can be solely logical creatures? Perhaps one may think that he's a complete logical person...but to be fair...even an EXTREMELY logical person makes mistakes at times and do illogical stuff....rare....but it happens. Logic is strongly linked to science, in fact science is completely based on logic which is why in general males tend to do better in them whereas females would fair better in the arts. [there are always exceptions though ;) ] We always reason things out with logics: supernatural phenomenons, mysteries and the likes...That's how debates come about. When debating, we have to use logics in order to argue our point across, including deductive and inductive reasonings. We can't just go up on stage and start crying hoping we would win the sympathy and go home with the trophy. It wouldn't be called a debating competition...it would be called who-can-leak-the-most-tears competition. Logic does rule our lives and affects our decision-makings to a certain extent, perhaps because since it's logical everyone would/should do it. Logic is overall the same within society. We have different views but if we find something logical and someone else doesn't...chances r that the majority view would be logical...whether it's true or not...it's another issue...

is quite tough for one human being to be both logical and emotional at the same time...unless he or she suffers from schizophrenia (multiple personalities) then...well...that would be an exception...but even then...what are the odds of getting one personality which is REALLY logical and having another personality that is REALLY sensitive. Humans are by nature emotional and sensitive creatures. That's why we are called humans. Some people are naturally way more sensitive than others while some have such little sensitivity that people simply label them as 'insensitive'. There are no humans in this world who possess no sensitivity when they are born. Some deem to be completely insensitive but it is only perhaps something that they acquire after a period of time...not something that is in-born. Either that or you are a cyborg which you have no clue that you are...how to test? You short-circuit when you bathe ^^ okay that was just a (lame) joke. Seriously, humans are sensitve creatures. The degree of sensitivity in each individual differs, not just between genders or age, but individuals, right down to our very souls.

Logics and emotions...two opposite ends of the spectrum. they are both existent within us but we would always be dominated by one or the other. It is not exactly a good idea to deny the fact or not believe in the existence of logics/emotions...we must learn to keep an open mind and accept. Embrace our emotions/logic sides, depending on which one you are trying to put off. For me, it's my emotional side since as a girl that's naturally my domineering trait. I learnt the hard way that being logical isn't always easy...being too emotional isn't a good idea either. Thus i'm seeking to be balance...of course like i said...it would be an almost impossible task to achieve. In the meantime people... think about it...logics and emotions..can they really coexist in complete balance and harmony within one person with no conflicts?

AOH '09

2009-09-05T00:32:00.006+08:00

WAHAHAHAHAHA!! Yesterday was really REALLY FUN to the max!! It's seriously indescribable. The closest I can get are probably using these words all mushed into one: Excellent, Marvelous, Epic, Exceptional, Brilliant...okay if i carry on i'd probably be typing till sunrise XD

So yar anyway, met my friends at Jurong Point. As usual, i was the only female but not that it actually made any difference since I'm pretty comfortable with all of them. they're like brothers to me XD Hmmm yar saw them outside Long John Silver...well actually THEY saw ME and directed me towards where they were...one of it led me straight into an obstacle n i wasn't too keen on climbing over so i backtracked n walked one round...oh n add to that? it was raining =(

Made our way to the shuttle bus and hopped on...now once we reached the camp? It was where the fun truly began ^^
First stop? we popped by some exhibitions, learnt about the weapons and armoury used in our country's army...hmmm...shan't go into details...had a bit of problem remembering all the names. Took some photos whilst on one of the tanks, went INSIDE one(nearly got the lid shut on me by my dear friends as a joke XD)...OH! Apparently there was a motorcycle which we could try sitting on. I was quite amused when the person-in-charge state that I'm a natural as I swung my leg over to ride the bike o.o I saw a doggie too! A labrador! She was so cute and she had the ability to sniff out drugs XD damn shiok! Took a couple of shots of WK and Luke...they looked very interesting XD this was my favourite:

of course as a photographer I was desperately trying 2 keep away from the sticks which they were wielding..one hit and it's K.O.!
P.S. sry luke i didn't manage to catch the stick in your hand =(

Went to try out some shooting...not bad...out of 5 rounds shot, 4 hit the target...i missed the first shot...got complimented XD Wanted to try out paintball but apparently ended up not attempting it...

SOC...standard obstacle course...omg...i remembered the low wall...i just couldn't make it up...soooo one of the in-charge knelt on one leg and asked me to use his lap as a stepping stone. i was quite reluctant at first but after some convincing i decided to try it out, gate(think it was gate, couldn't rmb the name) i couldn't flip my body over cause my legs just froze n my entire body went rigid. Even with the guys attempts to push my legs over i still wouldn't budge =( swinging bridge was the easiest cause it merely took some balancing...apparently the lighter u r the easier it is XD

tried out the rope-wall...omg...I thought i didn't have to swing down anything for the rest of the day...apparently this one...u still had to swing down. The plan was to swing down, grab the rope with my hand and climb up/down depending on the instructions. Of course, there are times when plans go array and this is one of those times. What happened was...I swung down, my glasses dropped, I panicked, grabbed the rope which i was secured to tightly with both hands, since my hands were busy, I grabbed the rope wall with my legs...omg. Someone had to climb up and help me. Next up was my friend luke. He did it quite smoothly...unlike me LOL.

Then I tried out the tunnel...now that was when I realised that I don't do well in enclosed and dark spaces... It was sort of a mini underground maze actually, you have to find your way around in the darkness, boosting your confidence level. I think for me my level of confidence dropped by a gazillion notches. I didn't dare go in alone so I went in after my friend n told him to wait for me. In the tunnel...I panicked cause I couldn't see anything and I was feeling around for my friend, trust me it was really bad. I wasn't afraid of the dark but I was afraid of being enclosed. In the end my friend had to guide me the whole way and he kept checking if I was all right. By the time we reached the exit, I was panting, dazed and really jumpy. I was asked if I was okay which I barely was able to answer to. Finally I regained enuf composure to hoist myself out of the tunnel (with my friend's help. He sort of held my waist and added to the momentum whilst i was jumping up) I vowed to never EVER go anywhere near a dark and enclosed space again.

Hmmm....went off for a mini ride...live shooting safari...It was quite a long wait cause the ride started at 4 and we reached there quite early. We slept, stoned, listened to music (Steven used his macbook) played with our handphones...and finally got onto the ride. Got to see how a mission is planned out, what weapons and armoury are used, how they would attack enemies, how they counter water bodies as well as mine fields, even saw a wild boar while we were at it. We even had a chance to spot snipers...one of us suggested showing the finger and we all agreed that he wud end up wif only 4 fingeres by the time we were done...

Whoots...we decided to chomp on something after that...cause we were all starving to the max! The guys decided to have some after-meal cotton candy of which I simply couldn't resist but take a few shots of them ^^

Went to Jurong Point for awhile, took a walk...and then we finaly made our way home. Oh...we took the train all the way to Joo Koon just for the sake of getting a seat to sleep XD quite ridiculous but when u're dead tired u'd do anything XD

That's all people ^^ ciaos

FOM Exam @_@

2009-08-11T13:12:00.007+08:00

Ahahah one semestral paper down one more to go!! 2day I had my first poly exam ever!! Fundamentals of Marketing! OMG! I started mugging like two days before the exam...like what the hell right?! So i ended up focusing on certain topics and totally throwing the rest of the topics away. Yup. That's what I did. Pretty risky move i'd say. Lucky me, almost all the topics which I threw away did not come up...only one or two. I was thinking...whooo....however...I lost 4 marks for no reason -_-" I FREAKING HAD THE INFORMATION IN MY HEAD AND I DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS THE ANSWER! Sianzzzz.......
Oh yesterday I mugged with my friends Luke, Steven and WeiQuan...err...well...actually we did more crapping than mugging >_> With all the super-pokes/pseudo-pokes/high profile-pokes/stealth-pokes, it was highly entertaining and amusing to watch...pretty soon i forgot about mugging...HAIZZZ DISAPPOINTMENT! EPIC P-H-A-I-L!!!!! Went to chomp on KFC for dinner...(had a 'fun' time trying to get my 5 bucks back from SOMEONE which i intended to use to pay for my meal) After that, we changed venues from Biz IT to the study area above the auditorium....it was like an igloo in there. I couldn't concentrate cause it was quite cold and I was feeling verrrrry sleepy...sooo i ended up absorbing very little...decided to mug a bit more when i went home XD
Before we left, I watched a fairly entertaining show of Steven trying to poke Wei Quan whilst Wei Quan attempts to defend himself...XD SO yar...that's my studying process...studying 3 hours crap 4 hours...for tuesday night..monday is mug whole day till 6 in the morning ^^ (Mum got a shock when she saw me awake!)
FOM...haizzz...I am really hoping to still get an A...otherwise it'd be tough for my GPA to at least be a 3.0
Oh well...time to mug for my final paper...ICP >_> wish me luck everyone!!

Emotional Madness

2009-08-04T20:27:00.000+08:00

Today, I finally know what jealousy is like...though it came only for a fleeting moment, I felt the effects of it. That was before I started shooting zombies and listening to music. I don't understand why I feel this way though...it is after all not the least bit like me to have such emotions. I am supposed to have my emotions under control, meaning no jealousy, anger, sadness and pain. I wasn't supposed to let any of these emotions surface anymore...so...why must they surface once again...i dread this...
I shouldn't have loved anyone...I should have had learned my lesson...never fall in love...if only I had kept my feelings within check...if only I had truly mastered controlling my emotions...What should I do now...it hurts...I guess I should just leave it...after all...there's nothing I can do...right?

O.O

2009-07-21T12:24:00.003+08:00

I am sooo totally stunned!!! OMG! One of my fave book series is goin' to be made in2 a movie!! WHOOPIE!! XD It's called Percy Jackson & The Olympians! The very first movie: The Lightning Thief, is goin to be out in 2010!! YAY! I can't wait!!!! I wonder if there are any other fans out there of Greek Mythology other than me...cause if you are, this movie is definitely for you!! The book was meant for young readers...but hell care...i mean everyone's a kid at heart right? XDXD

Soooo anywayz, the plot mainly revolves around a teen called Perceus(Percy) Jackson who is actually a demigod. His mother is a human and his father is a...well...God...one of the Olympians...which one? I suggest u read the book or watch the show to find out ^^ Anywayz, something goes very wrong in his 6th Grade...actually things have always been going wrong for this poor kid, but 6th grade was what y'all wud call...The Ultimate...Yes. That was when Percy discovers his true self as a demigod, in his case, a Half-Blood. Why the extra name? That's cause his parent who is a god is not an ordinary god...he is one of the olympians, that means Percy's scent is extremely strong and is easily detected by monsters from Hades. Well, in addition to the typical teenage problems, he also gets chased by Furies, a Minotaur etc. basically Hades minions. If this has got your attention, then i suggest you start reading the series ^^ it will really get you hooked XD

the cover of the book XD

a minotaur o.o

and the furies ^^

more pix will be uploaded when i can find o.o

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince!

2009-07-19T23:43:00.003+08:00

Whoots the long-awaited 6th movie of Harry potter was finally out! Well...I thought that the movie had really nice effects, apparently it's under the rating of 'Parental guidance' though, cause of some scary scenes. To be honest, I kinda' got freaked myself soooo I guess I can understand why. Oh and I believe that die-hard fans of harry potter who keep track of the movies and books would figure that the plot gets darker and slightly...more...morbid to put it simply. After all, the story about Harry Potter isn't about fairy-tales, never growing up like Peter Pan...even with all the fantasy inputs, there are some parts that grounds us to reality. These are mainly the problems we teens face, from relationship issues to testing of friendships etc.
Anywayz, I believe that most of you out there would know or at least have heard of Harry Potter, but for the benefit of those who do not....Harry is basically a boy who found out that he was not an ordinary human, but actually a wizard. So then begins his journey of discovering his powers, making friends, falling in love and of course fighting the all-ever notorious Lord Voldemort.

This time round, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince...to put it simply...it's sort of like a stepping stone to the climax. You can actually feel it...the tension, the strings being pulled really tight, everything is finally coming to a halt. Of course as a side note, my friends and I kinda' thought that the inferi(ressurected corpses, sorta' like zombies) looked like Golems. He even commented: Why are there golems? I was biting my tongue from laughing out ^^Let's see...Hermoine kinda' cast a really cool charm which involves canaries...cute right? Not when they're speeding towards you at high velocity though >_> (watch the movie n keep an eye out for Ron ^^) Harry is now obsessed with thinking that Draco is a Death Eater and his obsession kinda' nearly gets him into trouble as usual. Ohh....there was one scene which kinda' got me giggling away...the part where Katie got cursed and Mcgonagall was claryifying issues? She stared at Harry, Ron and Hermione before asking "Why is it that you three are always around when something happens?" or something along that line. Ron's reply? "Believe me professor, we've been askin ourselves the same question for 6 years!" WAHAHAHA!

Sneak Preview: Snape n Narcissa makin the unbreakable vow XD
Bellatrix causing chaos as usual...
Harry, Hermione n Ron in discussion...SERIOUS discussion...hmmmm.....
N how can we forget Ginny??

Oh yes...Harry, Ron and Hermoine....in this book...more lovey dovey stuff will go on....XD haf fun finding out! I dun wanna' be a spoiler ^^
Here's the book...which I have at home...

Personally, I am beginning to like Snape more n more...I think it's cause of his attitude...not his bad boy attitude...but those of you who read all 7 books would know why I like him...his extreme bravery and him being misunderstood. Somehow, I really pity him and I wish I could take his pain away...*shakes herself* oops gettin too sentimental people! Anywayz hope ya' haf a gr8 time watching this movie. yar yar some ppl say it sux some ppl say it's nice, everyone has different opinions otherwise we would be clones of each other wouldn't we? ^^

"Smokin' Lappy"

2009-07-15T22:36:00.002+08:00

RANDOM EVENT: I felt kinda' guilty the other day. I caused my poor friend ta' worry for no reason. It happened during lunch break. I was sittin opposite him whilst my friend was sittin next ta' him. The back of his laptop was facing me and I had just returned with a cup of steaming hot tea, with the smoke still comin out. I placed it behind his laptop. Suddenly, he made a jerky movement of lowering his laptop screen before breathing a sigh of relief. I was kind of shocked for a moment, then he explained. Well...poor chap...he apparently thought that his laptop was burning or something from typing too much...he saw the smoke from my tea but not the actual cup of tea. We had a good laugh over it. Pretty amusing actually XD

What a week!

2009-07-13T14:20:00.003+08:00

Whoah...last week was one hell of a roller coaster week for me!! There were really exciting moments as well as mega upsetting moments for me. O.o I shall talk all about it bit by bit...sounds agonizing but it's true...cause i haf a really bad memory so i hafta' pick at my brains for the memories bit by bit....

Okay i got back my CA results for some of my modules, mainly my Design Basics(DB), Fundamentals of Marketing(FOM), Intro to Media Writing(IMW) as well as Intro to Communication Principles(ICP). I must say I was really joyous when i received my results. 3As and a D, pretty decent grades i would say. My IMW module was a D...which I really was not surprised cause I have a bad habit of writing flowerly languages and I do not like being precise and concise when I am writing...this module is probably going to be a killer module for me. Nevertheless I was really happy wif my results, considering I topped my class along with two other girls for FOM and my ICP grp topped the whole cohort o.o My friend couldn't stop jumping up and down XD it was pretty amusing ^^

Now...for the bad part my family....ahh...well...i dunno wad came over them...but I THINK i was the tipping point...though to be honest, I have absoloutely no idea if it is true or not. Anyway I came home and I realised the two of them were arguing...as in REALLY arguing. They squabble half the time but that day was really scary. It was to the extent that my father, who is normally a calm person, blew up and became hysterical. Oh in addition, my mother threatened to commit suicide too. I freaked. I REALLY freaked. I was so afraid that my mother would REALLY kill herself. I had never been so scared before in my life, and that was saying something. My dad said I would regret it when I told him it's not fair to me if he forces me to do something I do not wish to do just because my mum and him can't settle their own problems. When my mother sms-ed me, I freaked and called my aunt. She was a GREAT help...sarcastic wise. I was past the boundary of panicking already and it was understandable cause I was scared, afraid, upset, everything-in-one. Obviously I wouldn't be able to keep calm and think straight! Yet she still scolded me for calling her and acting hysterical plus she decided to give me a freaking lecture! I was seriously pissed off and just wanted to hang up on her. Luckily, what little that was left of my senses told me NOT to do it so I just put the phone away from my ear and cried. It really sucked. In the end I just told my aunt that i wanted to sleep, apologised to her and hung up. She said she loved me, but I just couldn't believe her, much as i wanted to , i just can't. Love is through action, not words. I never believed in pure words of love. Oh yes, my father sort of threw away the house phone...down the rubbish chute. Up till now, I still have no idea what logical reason he had behind his action, thus i came to the conclusion that he was just too angry =)

Thankfully, those two had enough sense to go see a PROFESSIONAL counsellor (strangely I got this information from my friend, not my parents themselves...interesting ain't it? ^^ ) Things pretty much got back to normal...but...after all these time of detaching myself....I guess i still need a little getting used to...in order to get my life back straight....I do not wish for any external interference anymore...just hope that my family, from now on, are able to settle their own problems, without involving me or my friends...

END OF PART 1

Okay now NDP!!! Haha this week we are in charge of Primary 5 kids! They're so cute! Though my friend had the smartest idea of sculpturing a machine gun balloon and after that we had a whole horde of little kids screaming and asking for it. It isn't exactly easy to make....and my arms were soar from pumping the balloons. I didn't know how to make the machine gun so I just pumped the balloons continuously until my arms nearly dropped!!! Oh...and later on when we were motivating the people, it started pouring and we got drenched. OMG!!! I couldn't stop sneezing!! There was lightning so we were kind of stuck below the floating platform...there was a large space, perfect for a 'gathering' of all the performers and audiences. Well, after awhile, cause of the horrible ventilation due to too many people being cramped up together...people started fainting, as in LITERALLY. There were two motivators who just dropped down onto the floor and had to be carried away whilst another two looked deathly pale, as if they were on the verge of fainting. My friend was pretty surprised that I did not faint cause I looked really fragile and pale. Our mentors continuously inquired if we were feeling all right and luckily in my group, no one fainted. I ended up reaching home at 11 plus...man i was bushed, even for a nocturnal creature who is usually awake at night, I could not stay awake past 2am...n that is saying something cause I am normally up till 3 or 4 in the morning on weekends.

Well that's all for my week....Sunday was a rest day for me...so nothing much. Just stoning and slacking around the entire day...of course i chiong my work at night >_> last minute HAHA! *blushes* Hehe. Now...back to work XD ciaos people!

Transformers 2!! WAHAA!!

2009-07-07T14:49:00.005+08:00

Whoots! I finally managed to watch Transformers 2 ^^ Before I go into how great the movie was (no sarcasm here by the way), I shall speak a little about what happened before this...

Initially, our plan was to watch Ice Age 3...there were 3 of us...we sorta' planned it a couple of days before. As usual, I was the only girl...well that's no surprise i guess. On the day itself, one of the guys backed out...poor chap he must have been really tired out from all his FYP (Final Year Project) which kinda' left me and another guy....ahh well we ended up going for Transformers since neither of us have watched it before. Sooo yar it was something like an unofficial 'date' or something.

Of course, by the time we decided to leave, it was around half an hour before the show started soooo we kinda' rushed for time...it was tiring...walkin really fast while carrying a laptop. I haf no idea how my dear friend could walk so quickly...I had a hard time trying to catch up with him man.

Finally we reached the cinema, bought the tickets, I ran off to toilet ta' wash up, then we entered the cinema. It was like...8:30 as in the movie started at 8:30 so i assumed it would end at around 10:45-ish....my estimation was pretty off..i forgot to calculate in the advertisements time =( so the actual timing which the movie ended was 11pm o.o First time i watch movie alone wif a guy until so late.....nice sia considering i'm kinda semi-nocturnal XD Now for the movie...

OMG THE MOVIE IS OMGLY FREAKISHLY AMAZINGLY KICK-ASS AWESOME!!!! The plot was great, effects were astounding, actors were captivating.....juz really REALLY smooth. Let me try ta' remember a wee bit of parts here and there *note: spoilers coming up if u haven't watched i suggest u skip*
Well yes i admit Megan Fox is probably one of the most beautiful women out there...no people I just admire her for being beautiful...i'm not jealous or les...in case anyone of u start getting the wrong idea -_-" I could hear some guys making strange wolf-like sounds at the start when they showed Megan bent over whilst painting some sort of lady devil symbol on her motorbike.
Next were the cute lil dogs...or at least i thought they were cute until they started humping each other................or as my friend puts it: cross-breeding which I hafta' agree with. One was a bull dog one was a....chiwawa...oh geez I can't spell for nuts =(
BumbleBee looked kinda' amusing when it started crying...after Sam told it that he couldn't take it along with him to college.........
YES!! Apparently the female teen who tried seducing Sam was a robot...an evil one at that.....there was a scene whereby a metallic tail came out from under her dress, possibly from her 'tailbone' if she even had one. I nearly freaked at that part. Oh and her tongue? was metallic and long and lethal-looking. My heart jumped. She looked like some weird alien from outer space!!! Well actually she was a weird robot from outer space. Man...
Of course Optimus Prime died...and somehow managed to get revived again....watch the movie i ain't gonna' say anything...

Man it was one hell of a movie. I really really enjoyed watching the movie. Plus it was wif a really good friend of mine....huh...friend...or more den dat...well...duunno....haha. Anywayz now I owe him money...cause he paid...huh......haizzz....I dun think i wud haf a chance to return him the money... =( he didn't seem to wan me ta' pay him back. Well...anywayz it's time for me to sign off...ciaoz....

Volunteering at HortPark....

2009-06-21T23:14:00.004+08:00

Wow...last LAST saturday was one freaking long and tiring day for me...yup as part of my service learning project for one of my modules, we had to volunteer our services at an organization. My team selected Hort Park...after being rejected by a couple of others....hmmmm...well anyway we got the base foundation settled (thanks to Isyanah, seriously people we HAVE to give her a treat one day)

So yes, I woke up early as usual even though it's a Saturday...this time for a different reason. All this while I have been going off to NDP training...that day however, I had to go for my ONOW project...*yawn* Wonder what excitement would I experience today...visiting a nature park is one thing...working as a volunteer...i'll bet that there would be a couple of differences...

I was 2nd to reach...my partner Benedict was the earliest amongst the three of us. Both of us met up and went to stone for a bit. The view was really pretty...with all the greenery, a huge body of water, coupled wit a nice morning breeze...mmm...it made me feel totally at home. I love nature! It's been a long time since i've entered a nature reserve...all the greenery n plants give me comfort n grounded to the earth...that we're all part of this world...part of this life...

Enough of that though, after a round of briefing from our leader (along with the arrival of our friend Kylie), we took a light snack before starting work. First activity of the day: Picture mossaic; Little kids activity time!! They were supposed to put together little bits of small items such as crystals/buttons/stones/gems to form a picture, so we provided them with a tile which had double-sided tape pasted all over, in case they messed too much with the glue.........so anywayz, the kids came and started having fun, with my friend n i walking around to help the kids/collect rubbish/answering questions etc. etc. Some of them were really creative, some were just messing around but created pretty nifty pieces, others were just disastrous -_-" oh well kids are kids XD

Now the next activity was 3D-Card Making. OMG! THis was one hell of an activity for me!!! Some of the kids were little angels, quietly doing up their cards, taking extra care when using the glue which we provided them with....of course with angels, there are devils. Duh. I remember crystal clearly that there were 3 boys whom i was interacting with and helping out...they were all in upper primary...not that it made any differences -_-" After seeing the way they wielded the scissors and penknives we lent them, my heart perpectually jumped out. One even looked menacingly at my long tresses with an evil glint in his eye and a pair of scissors in his hand. I immediately grabbed my hair and wrapped it up into a tight bun. Another boy picked up a tissue from the floor and stuck it on his face...with a hole at the mouth area, so that he could speak....aaaaaaand the other kid stuffed the tissue into his mouth...fyi the tissue dropped on the floor and had glue. My partner Ben and I nearly fainted from shock.

Thankfully after that it was break time!!!! All we needed to do was to bring all the furniture back to the store. For a moment I was shocked cause there was no way I was thinking of carrying those furniture and walk all the way. Then I realised...oh we werflyere transporting the furniture using a buggy. Me and benedict sat at the back...teeheee.....it was fun...minus the fact that my hair was blowing 2wards the front...

By the time after we made a few trips, I was starving. The 3 of us dropped by IKEA to chomp. Mmmm I totally missed the sweedish meat balls....yum yum!!! My two friends were couping the sauce from me after i was done >_> Once they were done, we made our way back to the Park, stopping once in awhile to look at the decorations (STUFF TOYS!!!)

Of course, when we were back, our leader was nowhere to be seen...so ben and I ended up falling asleep and taking a mini afternoon nap whilst Kylie read a pamphlet. An hour later, our leader came and briefed us on our next activity...butterfly garden!! WHOOTS!

We took a mini buggy again towards the butterfly garden where me and Benedict were in charge of the exit and entrance respectively. There was quite a turnout. The queue stretched all the way from the garden till the end of the stairs. I was jumping up and down to see the end of the queue (i'm not short just that the people were tall!!) Amusingly my leader asked me to count the number of people. I was thinking...HUH?! Are ya' kidding me or what??? I can't be in two places at once, guarding the exit whilst counting the number of people at the entrance! Thankfully whilst all these thoughts were running wild in my head, she went back inside to give the group more information/insights on the different species of the butterflies. Well, I gotta' admit they were pretty...as in the butterflies.

Oh yes apparently, the prettier the caterpillars, the uglier the butterflies were...whereas the uglier the caterpillars, the prettier the butterflies were. After what seemed like a millenium, the butterfly garden was finally closed to the public. Sadly, some people still turned up and we had to graciously turned them away...think we turned about 20++ people away in total. There was one particular group which didn't seem to wanna' leave...but we convinced them by saying if we let you in then there would be 20++ other people who wud come bash us up...tt did the trick XD

Finally, we were allowed to go home...after our leaders filled in the forms...and boy was i freakishly dead tired!!!! Sooo yar me signing off ^^ ciaoz!

POC~~

2009-05-26T09:30:00.005+08:00

Wahoo!! Primers Orientation Camp! AHAHAAHA! It was fun, crazy, retarded, strange, weird all thrown into one ^^ It was a 3 Days 2 Nights camp...pretty fun. Oh the bus journey was pretty long...and boy did i get a shock when we reached the BB Campsite...why? That was the exact place i went to for my Council Camp back in Secondary School!!! I was like...no wonder this place looks so darn familiar!!!

**********1st Night***************

Hmmm.....first night...well nothing much except for ice breaking games..sort of like a telematch...we had various stations...i shall try to talk about as much as I can remember ^^ Geez...we played..Human...Fooseball...thankfully we were just given boundaries to move around in and not tied to each other...or else you would probably see tonnes of people falling...on the hard floor...ouch....We lost haha. Our team lost. Sadded but oh well at least we had lots of fun and we played with integrity ^^ that's the most important.

Ahh yes remember how our parents always go: Don't play with fire?" Well....we were doing the exact opposite. It was a game called Tower Defense. Each team would have one tower (a chair basically) and one person would have to stand on it. 3 strings are tied around the chair's legs and each player has to carry one candle...one LIT candle...and burn the strings of the opponent's towers. To defend, we had to blow out the opponent's candles XD Cute huh...a hole was being poked through a piece of paper for the candle to be placed so that the wax could drip into it. Our dear opponent cheated and he perpectually lit up the paper too...OLYMPIC TORCH! How the hell do we blow that out we wondered...thankfully the judge saw it and she said it's against the rules. Cause by the size of tt flame, blowing wouldn't be enough. We probably would have had to spit on it (eew, gross)

Ever heard of the game "老鹰抓小鸡"? (Eng translation: Eagle catch chick) We played that...it's like for every row...the head is the eagle n the tail is the chick...middle people have no roles...apparently the heads muz try to catch the tails of the opposing teams...of course...some teams got seperated...n worst...some were blindly walking behind the person they were supposed to catch or run away from...man it was funny

Of course...what would camp be without water games. We played dog and bone with a twist. In the middle there was a cup in a bucket of water and an umbrella. The team which gets the cup filled with water has to splash it onto the referee's leg while the team which did NOT get the cup has to get the umbrella to defend. Of course, no team could hold two items at one shot. There were some pretty amusing moments. Two people were called out from each team. Our opponents...one grabbed the umbrella and one grabbed the cup, so it was like...our team people were staring blankly at the opponent. They didn't realise until the girl stared at the guy who stopped trying to splash the water cause he realised it was his own teammate. And another team wrapped the referee's legs with the umbrella...so of course no water could get through. It was hilarious!

We played a strange game called fishing. We each had a LONG string with one end attached to a bamboo pole n the other attached to a hook. Apparently we were supposed to hook up as many 'fishes' (plastic bags) as possible. Half of the team did the fishing and the other half did the guiding...we were supposed to swap after a certain period. Man...we had 48...which was only 2 away from beating the high score of 49...sadded.....oh we fished from the second floor and the items were on the first floor.

that was the end of the first night...the second day...was when all the fun came in...

Left: Fooseball
Right: Team Sepia ^^

***********2nd Day***************

Now THAT was one HECTIC day! All the activities were crammed in there WAHAHAHAHAHA! We had game activities first before our kayaking(which sadly got cancelled due to poor weather conditions) The games were REALLY amusing and crazy and fun!! Hmmm...let me see...

Oh yes we had absailing (someone misheard it as excelling n poor me was trying to figure out wad kind of a game is tt...) Basically it was just running down a wall...that part wasn't scary. It was standing on the paraphet and looking down which was scary...i was smart. I didn't look down. However, the instructors were pretty much a sadistic bunch. I could tell that some of them were pretty nervous...yet the instructors were going: Any last words? Anyone wants to write a will? Any last letters to write?" I was thinking....wad the hell...Overall though, the experience was pretty fun. Luckily i stopped in time or else my butt wud haf hit the floor...ouch. I was the first girl in my group to go...pretty brave huh? Well.. i kinda' half-shouted at the instructors to quit it with the 'last will/letter' stuff..hehehehe XD

CAPTAINS BALL!!!!!! Wah kau...this game arh...play captains ball with fruits de...dun use ball...finito. We used an orange, a cabbage and two bananas...gross. The cabbage shrunk, the bananas became soft-er, the orange...well...after playing with it, tossing it around in the hot sun with people's sweaty palms...after awhile you'd find that there's juice coming out from the orange as it flies around. AHH yes after the whole game, my senior decided to juz randomly throw it somewhere...his aim was apparently mega accurate cause it hit someone's head ... the poor guy had had to wash his hair immediately after that...gross...oh and a friend of mine? she apparently had a banana smacked into her leg...which kinda' left mushy bits all over...she squealed...unlucky me was next to her and my ear drums almost burst!!! Hau..but i really pitied the guy who had orange juice in his hair.... *grimace*

Another game ... we had to transport a certain amount of water from the first to the last person. Each of us had a cup in our hands. Now it sounds easy...but the catch is we had to pour the water backwards...which means we face the front and poured the water into the cup that's held by the person behind us...we spilled lots of water...it was really wet. The seniors weren't making things better though...they enjoyed whacking us with balloons as well as blowing a whistle in our ears to distract us. It worked like a charm...though the whistle trick did not work on me because I was mega used to my mum screaming loudly all of a sudden. We finally got sufficient water across...by the time we were done, our arms were aching...hahahah...

oh we oso had to stomp on numbers in order...everyone was given a number and we had to stomp on the number that was inside the circle...randomly arranged numbers...i stared at the middle number n was thinking...the middle person muz haf long legs.........haha but held the record of being able to stomp 20 numbers consecutively in 9 seconds XD

Ever tried skipping with two people holding each end of the skipping rope? sounds easy rit? now try doing it with 20 people in the middle....that's wad we had to do....20 ppl all jumping at the same time...10 times consecutively. Of course the first time we jumped we got entangled...n so did the 2nd time...n the 3rd...n the 4th....man i lost count of how many times it took before we could actually jump once....by the time we did ONE we were uber joyful. Until the seniors said: very good! One down, Nine to go! i was tempted to strangle him with the rope (the rope was actually a bunch of rubber bands tied together)

Ahh yes...the next game....soap water was poured onto a piece of canvas sheet...and we had to do 10 star jumps on it...goodness...we had to be synchronized and EVERYONE has to do it...otherwise we had to redo...luckily we didn't hafta' redo it...after that we slid across the canvas sheet since it was slippery with the soap water. Some people used their knees to slide, some slid on their front, some slid on their butt....no one slid on their faces...duh....

Top Left: Lunchie Break!
Top Right: pouring water backwards!!!!
Bottom Left: Help, i'm tangled up!!

***************3rd Day********************

Our last day at camp.....kinda' sad but oh well it was just the beginning of our journey in Primers. We had our usual breakfast...followed by some appreciation session. Each of us were given a chance to pick somebody from the group to show our appreciation to. Well...there were two of us (me being one of them) who decided to appreciate the ENTIRE group WAHAHAHAHA.

Oh yes...after that it was a photo taking session! It was with ALL the students who attended the camp. First years, second years and third years alike ^^ it was a bit tough looking up at the camera cause the sun was shining almost directly into our eyes. Most of us DID squint XD
After that, it was the tradition of Primers to do something we all know verrrry well....TAUPOK!!!!!!!! Mixed version. No one actually cared whether you were a guy or girl...they juz poured themselves against you. The committee had the worst of it though...they had to sit right in the middle of it all...imagine that. We repeated the process about a couple of times before i nearly fell down and luckily someone grabbed me before i ACTUALLY fell down. Haha
Well...POC was a really enjoyable time...from then we boarded the bus and then left for home...XD (oh we had a little bit of lunchie first before going off)
Ciaos people! That is all ^^

2009-05-05T09:25:00.002+08:00

Phew! Finally! After TWO WEEKS of getting used to poly life, yours truly is finally back!! *looks around* oh well no one's here again i guess *shrugs* den again this blog ain't exactly dat interesting soooo i shall juz crap as usual XD

I'm gonna' be comparing the difference between JC life and Poly life...all in my very own perspective and opinion of course...feel free to rebut me ^^ (no spam no crap otherwise i'll let ya' experience HELL)

When I was in Junior College, I was literally slugging my way out everyday. It was boooring. I don't really fancy studying to be honest. Initially I wanted 2 back out of JC once I was done with Project Work...however...my parents FORCED me to continue on with my JC education...sadded. To be honest, I wasn't really happy in Junior College...even though it was supposed to be FUN FUN FUN! (I'm from SAJC btw) I wasn't really doing something I like...which is studying. I love and adore projects...which was few or minimal in a Junior College. It was studying all the way. In my 2nd year, I was sent for councilling with a few others because my results were horrendous. Ironically, even though my results were supposed to go up, it went down even further and hit rock bottom. ALL U GRADES! From then on, every time i got back a test, I didn't really bother and just continued failing because the inspiration just wasn't there. I wanted to just get everything over and done with so that I could get out of the Junior College and get a life!

Well my wish finally came true. I finished up my A levels (to be honest I didn't study as hard as I did for O levels) Huh...my results...well...i passed...haha and I immediately signed up for Singapore Polytechnic. TADAA! Now here I am in SP. Doing the things I love. I'm taking Diploma in Media and Communication. Perfect. The only downside is media writing...other than that, I love the rest of my modules...especially my Design Module ^^ ( I love desigining, even my friend commented tt a bulk of me is a Design person) Currently I'm enjoying polytechnic life now. Yeah...even though there's concurrent projects going on...I do not mind...cause at least it's something that I love...besides...it beats studying anytime and anyday for me ^^ Hells care if i'm the oldest in class...no one can tell...I don't lookie my age anywayz ^^

Okay this is Nurvy signing out ^^ ciaos people

2009-04-19T00:18:00.002+08:00

I believe a couple of nights ago...i had the strangest dream...it was reali vivid AND i cud literally write up a story plot...my friends suggested tt i shud expand on it...but currently i'm outta' creative juices...guess i'll do it when it's vacation time n i'm more relaxed ^^ Anywayz here goes...my dreamed up story plot...(had to rephrase n everything n add names ta' the characters pls forgive the slipshot work)

It all began with a girl by the name of Elisia who somehow managed to defy her fate and cheat death. Elisia, using her wits n skills, managed to escape the building which was supposed to explode with her inside, thus killing her. As years rolled by, she found herself trapped in a neverending cycle of watching the building explode right in front of her eyes. It was intolerable for her, however, but she had no choice but to endure it until she could figure out a way to stop the culprit from causing the explosion. ( i nd ta' expand over here...sry ppl) Suddenly, a succubus (or lady devil for that matter >_>) appeared to her and offered some assistance. The succubus could intervene and stop the cycle BUT in return Elisia has to give up her soul. A paper contract than appeared. All she was required to do was sign the paper. Needless to say, she refused. With that, the succubus nodded and disappeared.
Elisia decided to ask her boyfriend for help. He works in a nearby building, but not the actual building itself. Unfortunately, before they could stop the culprit, they got caught. Thus, while
making their escape, Elisia got seperated from her boyfriend though she was too frantic to notice.
As the lift door opened, Elisia ran straight into the lift. Strangely, the door did not open after that. It merely travelled up and down continuously until Elisia decided to force the door open and jump out. What awaited her was something strange and new...
Elisia took a quick glance around and almost immediately saw the culprit who caused the explosion. This time, however, she realised that his face was that of peace and calmness. He had an aura of tranquility of him, unlike the previous time when she saw him, filled with rage and anger. Elisia then realised that she was in a different future altogether but in order for that to happen, it meant that the cycle has ended. But how? she wondered.
Out of the blue, Elisia realised her boyfriend had disappeared. She then started searching for him. After looking for a long while, she still could not see a trace of him. Elisia became frantic until she saw a paper on the floor. Picking it up, she realised that the paper was the same contract paper which the succubus showed to her. Add to that, her horror was amplified when she saw that the paper bore her boyfriend's signature. Elisia went hysterical and started shouting as well as demanding for an explanation.
Almost instantly, the succubus appeared and her face betrayed a hint of pity. She explained that Elisia's boyfriend could no longer withstand seeing her suffer as he was aware of her doomed fate - endless cycle of suffering. Hence, he decided to end her suffering by sacrificing himself. Her boyfriend then appeared for one last time to say goodbye. Elisia broke down and cried...
THEN I WOKE UP!! Please comment on my story haha!! and no do NOT ask me who the ppl were in the story unless you want me to put you through the same fate as the girl XD yar sry for being sadistic ppl XD

Outing wif my guy friend clique XD

2009-03-19T15:34:00.003+08:00

HA!! 2day i went out wif my guy friends (including my bf of course, duh!) to catch a movie!! Nyahahahahaha. Hmmm initially we were plannin on watching DBE...however after a certain amount of review given to us by one of the guys in the group...my enthusiasm suddenly found itself being swept away by the currents of the ocean and pushed deep into the murky depths by the currents...omg...the reviews were really bad...as in REALLY TRULY UTTERLY sucky...all of it said tt DBE had quite low ratings...plus it sucks because it's a japanese anime so why on earth do we see western people acting?! (of course no offence against westerners) I feel that it only makes sense if there were Asian people acting...as in REAL Asian people...the only person i felt that was picked correctly was Chow Yun Fat. No offense but Jamie...i guess it's cause of her accent...I mean yes to be fair she is Asian and all, plus her Martial Arts skill kick ass!! The rest of the characters...omg...all of them were westerners...eek...some reco that this movie DBE will not likely be the same as the original...rather it wud juz be no more than a spoof...i hafta' say...i agree...
Okok enuf wif the movie review LOL anywayz we ended up watching Disney's Movie: Race to Witch Mountain. I guess it was lots of sci-fi genre...with aliens/UFOs/spaceships and stuff...however, it does haf the basic moral values like all disney movies XD friendship, family, courage, honesty...well yar u guys get the gist of it (nearly typed fist omg...) Anywayz i personally thought the movie was pretty good, well duh, i love anything tt's out of the ordinary...supernatural phenomenon...anything tt takes me away from the reality of this world ^^ *stares at the pile of vampire books next to her* well well...Hmm..the two teens who acted as the aliens were fairly convincing XD And of course...we have THE ROCK...who is as superb as ever ^^ ohh...i esp love the part where *smacks her mouth* oops...no spoilers...ahaha go watch it yerself if yer wanna' noe abt the show ^^
Anywayz after the movie, it was still early...say 2 plus or so...thus we ended up going LAN shop...to try out Left 4 Dead! (actly 4 of us TRIED one of us, jeff, was already, well, as they say, addicted to the game...) Hmmm...left 4 dead...IT WAS COOL MARVELLOUS FREAKINGLY SICK AND GORY! Perfect for me ^^ a gore fan... >_> hey dusn mean i'm a girl i can't enjoy gory stuff...anywayz the zombies were cool....i HATED the Boomers...dey literally vomit sludge on ya' which render u almost helpless cause u can't see anything except a green smudge across the screen. Oh yes...u can even get tackled by an undead and u nd yer team's help otherwise u die cause the undead will virtually eat u up/tear u apart (no ppl they din show the details) and of course sometimes u can get snagged by a string...around your neck! still all in all it was fun!! I shall show ya' some examples...nii~~~

Tadaa...intro...left 4 dead...

Aaaand here's how a boomer looks like ^^ yes u dun want him anywhere near u n believe me u shud stay as far away as possible from him...once he vomits u get this...

look at how blur everything is ^^

Okay that's all for my post for the time being ^^ ciaos ppl NII~~~

2nd archery lesson

2009-03-16T22:07:00.002+08:00

hahaha!! 2day my arm finally started feeling the strain LOL especially my left arm which is used to steady the bow ^^ lol...hmm anyway 2day we started later den the previous week. Funnily enuf when my friend n i arrived we saw that there were little kids still inside so we decided to walk around...the mini playground cum park outside the hall where we were supposed to haf our archery lessons in. There was a spacious shelter juz outisde the hall which we found and so we sat there for awhile as we waited...n waited...n waited...
8pm came n we still saw the kids inside...soooo we made our way to the canteen and waited even longer. My friend played a racing game on his phone while i played sudoku to wild our time away. Finally, our coach saw us and he told us to come in. When we went in he told us tt we could haf actly come in and sat by the side, with the bonus of air-conditioning. I was thinking...thank you but I wud rather be warm lol...it IS a cool day after all....anywayz our archery lesson thus begin.
First as usual we nocked our arrows and shot them. At first there were 4 of us, my friend and me plus another two kids who were younger than us, a boy n a girl. The girl was pretty cute XD Anywayz, my aiming was pretty off 2day T.T haizzz maybe i shud start training my arms up >_> muz haf more endurance!!! AHAHAHAHA Hmmm...so yar 2day we were taught to retrieve our arrows from he board. Omg...i was freaking weak n was tryin ta' pull the arrow out without success. In the end i made a cry for help towards my friend....ahhh...stupid sweaty slippery palms...zzz...
Another thing i noticed...is it just me or was the target getting smaller and smaller and smaller and smaller each time i retrieved the arrows n went back to shoot. At first all my arrows circled around the middle wif a couple hitting the target...but as time went on i noticed my arrows started flying upwards n downwards...i was thinking...oh man...my aiming is dead off!! I was pretty upset...i even NEARLY shot the arrow towards the floor >_> it was so freaking low on the board that i gasped. Haizzz
Oh well time to pack up after awhile...we went to carry the stuff backstage as me friend n i were the last two to finish up our lesson. Before that when i was helping coach carrying the first round of items, he admitted to me tt everytime we both turned around...he wud secretly push the target board a few inches back....i was thinking...oh goodie so it wasn't just me...ahahahahaha... <_< i was like...great...just great...haizz oh well gotta' work on my arm strength and endurance...*yawn* now i feel sleepy...thanks to the sport AND cold weather...both of which by itself cud make me tired...add them together...urgh...i wud definitely fall into a deep slumber in which even a bomb explosion wouldn't wake me up...haha....oh well tt was all for 2day ppl XD buaizzz

Drumming on Sunday n Archery on Monday

2009-03-12T11:09:00.002+08:00

Well well well...sunday was my second drumming lesson XD it was slightly more interesting than the previous session cause this time we got to do a variation of beats...we used quavers n not just crotchets. There was one tiny bit of problem though. Some ppl had difficulty dividing the beats into half (2 quaver beats = 1 crotchet beat, take it as 2 50cent coins = 1 $1 coin yes?) Well as u can imagine, with all the drums in the room n wif ppl playin the drums at different tempos(beats) u get a sound that is surprisingly similar to a bunch of horses galloping away in the meadows. I was trying my best not to get distracted by the wrong beats so i stared at the wall in front of me and tried to divide up the beat equally in my head b4 playing. Gee whiz...n our teacher's reali amusing. He gives us a different tempo each time, from slow to fast to medium...perepctually everything. Thus, it confused half the class, or perhaps more den dat, n hence resulting in a really really messy sound coming from the drum studio. I was mega tempted to borrow my teacher's ear plugs LOL but then again i thought, might as well bear wif it...i'm goin to learn drumming for a looooong time...n when i say long i truly mean it. Our syllabus is going to be covered over 3 years or more, depending on our own preferences. hmmm...i glanced through the textbook. Man i couldn't wait to start playing more complicated beats...looks really cool. Ahh yes...there was this tricky set of beats tt were playing...at the end of four bars there wud be a rest on the last beat. It's very very common to hear an extra beat coming from somewhere. The conductor decided not to do anything abt it cause he knew if he were to keep stopping the class wouldn't be going anywhere for some time =) Okay tt was it for drumming...now for archery...

Archery...whew...the only thing i can say is that...my coach is one hell of a joker and that it really is taxing on your arm. I admit, it looks really cool and fun. However, when you actually do the sport itself, you'll probably realise that there's a lot of work behind the cool facade of archers. Hmmm so anyway my friend n i went for our first archery lesson ( actly for the cc it's 2nd, so technically speaking, we were one lesson behind T.T ) and the coach gave us a warm and completely hilarious welcome ^^ First up he got us to introduce ourselves which we did. Then he got both of us to go up while he checks our size (fat or thin) of course those hu noe me wud noe wad category i'm under ^^ he poked our upper arms n said 'this is fat u see! after learning archery this over here will be toned' poor me was laughing so hard i had was having difficulty breathing n had a reali bad case of tummyache ^^" So anywayz he introduced the bow to us n taught us the different parts...as well as wad we needed to wear during our archery shooting sessions, mainly an arm guard ( to protect yer arm in case the bowstring slaps against it) n of course the finger guard...i think..hmm forgot wad it was called ( to protect yer fingers when u're pulling the bowstring ... once or twice it wouldn't hurt but believe me if u had to do it repeatedly u'll feel the pain) and den we were ready to shoot. My first arrow hit the top of the board whilst my second arrow flew out of the board. fantastic eh? one of the other coaches quickly corrected me ^^ he looked quite young to me...*shrugs* oh well...anywayz after tt my shooting got better thankfully. No more out-of-board arrows n my arrows became quite consistent after tt. they were all around the circle n some even hit the bullseye (tyco shot) So after a few rounds of shooting, my shoulder blades n upper arms started to ache. After i went home, i could barely lift my arm for awhile...it reali hurts LOL but oh well i'll get used to it...after a couple of weeks or so. now...one more course to start...dancing...but tt will be another story ^^

A lvl results

2009-03-06T22:22:00.003+08:00

haha 2day...DOOMSDAY! LOLZ interesting way of describing it eh? Anywayz, yes 2day was the release of A lvl results. I stared at my results...okay i passed...fantastic. Not gd enuf to enter NUS/NTU but not bad enuf to retake. Soooo...hello SMU/SIM/POLY! XD I was cheering away at my results funnily enuf because i was glad i din fail anything...tt's the most important. Y'noe i was kinda' freaked when i saw ppl crying and their results were waaay better den mine. *sigh* sometimes i think the pressure tt these ppl put on themselves or their parents put on them...it's an excellent trigger factor for depression or any emotional problems. Good grief.

Sooo yar i hung out wif my bestie for awhile (who did much better den me lolz) at Citilink Starbucks. We chatted for a bit and den stoned for awhile...talkin abt anything and everything. It was fun. We shared wad we planned on doing...wad our plans were for the next day...and den continued stoning away and chit-chatting XD

After i got home, i went straight to my computer ( after dinner of course) n played warcraft wif my boyfriend ^^ we played till...um.......err....4 in the morning? yup yup. The game was fun so we kept playing and playing and playing without keeping track of time! Ain't tt wonderful? Anywayz tt was abt it for my day for A levels...

OH! next day i went out wif my bestie chips again to check out SMU. Man i love this cool cca they have. Broadcast Entertainment! o.o man i cud talk all day on radio *eyes sparkle* tt'll be waaaay fun man!!! XD Hmmm we walked around checking out the various schools/degrees that interested us as well as caught our attention. We entered the cca room...got completely lost there cause we din noe wad's going on...took a glance around, stared at each other, n walked out. LOLZ
haha. that was it for the weekend. check out the next post for my various activities that followed the weekend XD ^^

HIII! 2day i tried out my first drumming lesson EVER! Holy cow! It was at Yamaha...the Tampines branch and coincidentally i ran into my ex-piano teacher. She looked equally shock to see me as i was to see her! And her shocked expression depeened when i told her i was there to learn drums. She muz be thinking....drums and esme juz dun go well together...cause of my REALLY TINY physique XD It really pays to haf musical background if u wanna' pick up a musical instrument...u kinda' haf the advantage XD I was literally stoning away when our teacher, Mr Victor Soh, was teaching the basic notations. Of course i din actly SHOW that i was stoning...tt wud be pure suicidal ^^ anywayz the first lesson...we introduced outselves...i'm gonna' need awhile to rmb the names...i'll haf plenty of time anywayz XD we learnt the basic techniques of drumming...how to hold the sticks yada yada yada...learnt the different kinds of drums in a drum set...the first one we used was the Snare drum...without the lever up of course or else it wud be pretty noisy and the poor teacher wud lose his voice screaming over 7 snare drum sounds AHAHAHA ok sry tt was lame.
So anywayz after lesson i was abt to go home and i realised...to my horror it was raining! and i did not haf an umbrella wif me!! NOOOO!! I was thinking i'm prepared to be wet...den lo and behold! I ran into my brother at the station and i begged him 2 lend me the umbrella which he did sooo i got home pretty dry actly XD of course i ran into the toilet to wash myself wif nice hot water!! Ahhh...shuang... XD
Oh Dad said he wud settle dinner...but he wanted to watch Casino Royale instead LOL so it was a dad and daughter dinner alone night. He told me to call up pizza hut...i was like...am i hearing thiings?! My dad telling me to call pizza?! he never eats pizza! so i was like...o..k...Sadly the phone lines were engaged. I got so fed up i resorted to ordering online ^^ ain't i a stinker???? Sooo yar anywayz we both sat in front of the tv, ate pizza, drank a hot drink ( Tea for me Cappucino for Daddy) ^^
Anywayz after tt i stoned for awhile in front of the tv before running into my room XD luv my room luv my room luv my room XD okie tt's all for 2day nitez people!! XD

MOVIE MOVIE REVIEW!!

2009-02-07T22:58:00.002+08:00

HAHA! 2 movies in two days....one after the other...Bride Wars and Underworld...hmmm...i shall talk abt them...as well as other stuff tt's been happening to me...XD

Well anywayz awhile back i went out with chips meg n candice ta' watch movie!! BRIDE WARS! XD it was funny...in a weird manner...but the ending was reali touching and amazing, albeit unbelievable for it to happen in real life though. Anywayz to those hu din watch the movie i'll give y'all a brief summary: it's abt these two girls hu haf been best buddies for 20 years straight...both wanting to be each other's bridesmaid and both wanting to marry at the same place...forgot the name of it though ^^" anywayz this was so until one day due to some clerical error, both their weddings were due on the same day...n tt's where the 'fun' begins...well...more like sabotage. both girls tried sabotaging each other so tt they wouldn't be able to get married on that day. ( Yar well...tt's where all the funny parts come in like blue hair, skin tt looks like lobster, increase in waist size till one is unable to fit in her wedding dress) it lasted all the way till the actual wedding day. When...well...the two friends made up...n there was a happy ending altogether ^^ there was even the last bit...where both friends met up...and...haha...tt's the interesting part XD watch it cause i shall not spoil it ^^

Hmmm...i watched Underworld: Rise of the lycans too...with my boyfriend ^^ hehe i rmb it's m18...n i saw two girls trying their luck to get in...dressing all matured n stuff...*cough cough* i was thinking...dun try lying for these kinds of shows...it nv works...Anywayz, abt the show...
IT WAS SUPERB! sadly there were many guys but little girls...i was like...hey...where're all the girls...den my dad explained...haiya...these kinds of shows...guys wud normally prefer one...i stared...he said: Mindless action! lots of fighting! ohh.. LOL anywayz the show was basically a prequel to the series Underworld XD how lucian came abt...how sonea n lucian mate n gave birth to...selene...i think...why lucian has a grudge against the vampires...ahh...it explains everything. I was so caught up in the movie i virtually became as still as a statue. It was so freaking interesting...

Hmmm...anywayz for Chinese New year...i did not do much visiting...cause i was in mourning i guesss ... =( it was so sad. no not cause i cudn't do visiting. Anywayz we had our usual reunion dinner, afternoon lunch for first n 2nd day of CNY...my uncles' cooking was as good as usual. Anywayz when i was out visiting, my cousin showed me some christian songs...some of which i sang b4 n oso partly cause my bestie, chips, is a christian. He played the accompaniment on his guitar...n we both sang ^^ hmmm we went to my cousin,s Nat's place to juz chill out and hang ard cause tt was the final visiting place. Apparently we both share the same tastes...we do not like sweet stuff but love bitter food...we both watch stuff on crunchyroll n never knew we shared similar interests ^^ it was fun in a way i guess. Ahh well tt's all tt has been happening to me these days...soo ciaos ppl XD

random random random!!

2009-01-14T00:27:00.003+08:00

Ooh the other day i went off to pay Singapore Poly a visit wif my bestie!! It was pretty much a non-wasted trip i'd say...i got drawn to the school which allowed me to work with audio/music! Waaay cool! n my stupid mum n brother think they noe me better den myself >_> i do not believe them ... duh! they barely spend a lot of time wif me...n they dare to say that...sheesh! 'nywayz...we din really get to explore much of the school...cause...we were afraid we'd be lost and decided to stay safe XD
B4 tt i decided to go sign up for BTT (basic theory test) for driving...n dang...i forgot my ic n had nooo cashcard...the 2nd time i went which is 2day...i rmb my cashcard...i forgot my ic...i freaked n told myself...tt's it first thing i get home? i'm gonna' dump my ic into my wallet! (which i did...literally...)
Hmmmm....of course i din go home straight away...my bestie n i went off to marina to do some new year shopping! we both found sth we liked! XD sadly there was one which i loved the design but couldn't wear it T.T (my shoulders r too narrow...) ahh well at least i got sth though...we continued walking all the way around marina n even suntec...where we stopped for lunch break.
We went to the arcade after that .... damn the DDR machine wasn't working...zzz....n we so wanted to try that! Ahh well...we tried other games though...quite fun de...esp the ice hockey thingy....man was it fun! i was pretty offensive...din give her much room to breathe...of course my carelessness resulted in me scoring 3 own goals..but i scored 5 in return...so i won by 2 points!! XD but well well...she accepted her loss graciously which was wad i liked...unlike some idiots hu throw a fit when they lose... >_>
Oh! We took neoprints together ^^ it was a joke. cause we were stoning outside waiting for the pictures to come out...after waiting for a damn long time i decided to walk ard the machine...n i found tt we were waiting at the freaking wrong spot! I was like...ARGH!! we were stoning there like a bunch of statues! Oh...we looked very pale in the photos...chips joked abt acting as a ghost while i joked abt putting on red lipstick n acting as vampires!
Currently employed by my daddy!! XD helping him out whenever possible ^^ at least there's sth to do...or else i'll die from stoning
Hmmm...apparently....now i'm working on how to play any background music for my blog...the code doesn't seem to work properly...ahh well...i'll figure it out...eventually...in the meantime...ciaos!

2009-01-07T17:36:00.002+08:00

MUAHAHA! Finally i've got a bit of my voice back! man do i miss it! I miss my voice as much as i miss my boyfriend who is in NS (now that's saying sth and here's a barfbag for you chips if u're reading it XD) Hmmm...for a few days prior to 2day, i kinda' lost my voice...as in...reali couldn't make any sound. The only thing which came out half the time when i tried to speak was a high squeaked pitch or no sound at all! Well...unless you are counting like my boyfriend said....errr.....half-crying half-moaning...? :S ok i am reali confused i'm really lost LOLZ.

Well...the boredom surprisingly hasn't exactly started to sink in...maybe cause i've got tooo many things to keep me entertained! Blogging designing helpin out in the hs and GAMING! Hmmm...well i'm reading my Twilight bookie now...and i juz realised it has my name in it...ESME! One of Edward's 'parents' wow wee...i was staring at the name and hoping i saw wrongly but i didn't. Ahh well...this'll be interesting...it's not everyday u see your name in a book unless your name is very common.

I shall keep this post pretty short cause there's nth much today...other than the fact that i nearly scratched myself and banged my waist against the dining table. Ye...i'm quite a clutz XD
Ok tt's all for now!

esme signing off!! ^^

SICK ON NEW YEAR

2009-01-01T20:02:00.002+08:00

WHAT THE FREAKIN HELL?!?! I chose a really nice day to fall sick. THE FIRST DAY OF THE YEAR! OMG! I woke up at 3 plus this morning feeling extra mega uncomfortable. Luckily my bro was still awake...so i asked him to get a thermometer to check my temperature. First it was 37.7 degrees...awhile later it rose up to 37.9 degrees. And since i do NOT sweat a lot...i had to cover myself with two blankets, close the windows off the fan and FORCE the sweat out. It worked. My temperature, well, at least it didn't increase...it stayed constant. Soooo anywayz i woke up almost every hour...and when i could finally sleep...i wud sleep for abt 2-3 hours before waking up again. Believe me it was hell annoying. *sigh* there goes my outing 2morrow...i could barely stand straight for long and my friend still asked me to go if i could....it's not a psychological thingy...i'm juz being a realist! Even my dad reckons so. And my dad is probably the most logical person in the house...yar insensitive but nevertheless logical. So if even HE reckons i shud stay home...i SHOULD and i'm not taking one step out of the house!

Well well luckily i bought a gazillion books sooo yar i had them to keep me entertained...din need to though...i spent most of my time snoozing away...hmmmm...my latest book list: The last book of the Hellgate London trilogy ( Covenant ) ; First book of Warcraft: War of the Ancients trilogy ( The Well of Eternity ) ; Magical Pokemon Journey (Vol. 8 aka the latest one) ; AND TWILIGHT! XD

I'd haf these books to keep me entertained...woohoo!!! Okie tt's all for 2day...hope i can recover soon... >_> sheesh!

Birthday celebration!

2008-12-28T12:17:00.003+08:00

Muahahaha a couple of days ago was my birthday celebration! XD man was it FUN FUN FUN FUN FUN! I invited my friends: Chips Meg Gill Will Hk Jer Joey (vivi too but sadly she couldn't make it >< ) Hmmm...ok...let me dig into my memory to rmb wad happened... Ahh yes...i met up with the girls first...chips meg n gill at the mrt station...luckily this time gill din tickle me...(like the last time she did at the Anime Festival, rmb gill??? XD) Though i WAS still a lil paranoid so i backed up against the stand...until meg warned me tt i'll be cornered...dat was when i decided to step forward.

When all 3 arrived, we made our way back to my place. All of us had fun chatting abt EVERYTHING under the sun ^^

Hmmmm....okay now the problem comes...cause all the guys were apparently slightly later n wud arrive from different places! OMG! *sigh* Sooooo....we girls chomped on lunchie first while waiting for the guys! XD Hmmm...yar we girls chatted abt anime, boys...yada yada (i needed some getting used to cause i'm always talkin abt games)

The first pair of guys (Jerold n Joey) came after us girls finished our meal. Well...we were a little too mean cause one of the guys wore a bandana. All of us burst out laughing. One of the girls said that he looked like a pirate =.= i was TRYING not to laugh even harder cause 1. i had a tummyache 2. i was abt to vomit from all the laughing. XD
The second pair of guys (Will and Hk) along with my brother came awhile later. Actly to be honest i was quite shocked my bf (Will) could come out from NS. Yup he's currently serving National Service. Mummy was skeptical on whether he was allowed to come out. I was like i believe in his honesty n integrity and he wouldn't do anything to land himself into trouble or lie for that matter. >_> Well anywayz we all had a good meal (the guys ate enuf to cover the cost of the girls btw) and den made our way back to my house!

The car ride was FUN. Well...for the girls at least. We had fun laughing at the guys .. 6 guys in the car...1. my dad aka the driver 2. my bf will 3. quen my bro 4. jer 5. hk 6. joey ; 3,4,5,6 sat at the back. And my brother was lying on all of them...cause no space. When us girls took a peep inside the car, we laughed till our tummies ached and we started tearing. Oh man it was so funny! They were all squashed like sardines! Jam-packed! XD

Anywayz once we reached home, i saw the guys using my laptop. I was like WHO SAID U COULD USE MY LAPTOP?! in a joking angry manner of course. If i was reali mad i'd haf slammed the lid on the fingers of the player (my boyfriend) Believe me when i'm angry i can do juz abt anything. Dun think i small size i can be bullied hor! AHAHAHAHA Ok so we took a couple of photos, and everyone sang for me. Well...the way they sang was quite amusing...not exactly sure wad they reminded me of...but definitely not a choir LOL (no offense peeps!) I was trying hard to blow out the candle...took me abt 4 or 5 tries before the candles all went out cause i was laughing too hard at my inability to blow out 9 candles ( 1 candle to represent age 10; 8 candles to represent 1) i am officially 18! WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hmmmm...well...after that some of the guys played soccer while i sent my bf back...and the girls stayed back in the house. It was a fun day! 2 of them remained behind to haf dinner wif us...and yar tt's abt everything that happened. Quite fun actually. I LOVE YOU ALL PEEPS! AND THX FOR THE WONDERFUL CELEBRATION! *MUACKS*

Left to right: Meg, chips, ME, gill, my mummy, my brother, joey, will, hoa kiat, jerold

credits to my daddy for the photo taken ^^ TY DADDY!

I was screaming into the laptop at my own stupid mistake! well...on the outside i was merely doin nth but staring...inside? i was screaming so hard i thought my lungs were gonna' burst. I REALLY should HAVE knocked HARDER! T.T my cousin suggested visit him again.

What are they? sorry...i wud love to say but i can't...*sigh*

Anywayz we watched The Day The Earth Stood Still. My friend made an amusing comment: as if the earth can stand in the first place' which is kinda' true. The earth orbits and floats, if it actly stands den i'd haf failed my physics altogether (which i actly did for a whole year until A levels).
The show was...well...it had its hilarious parts in it...though mostly it was dark, moody n serious. However i felt that there was an impt message that's relayed to us and that is to take care of our earth, dun kill it! Or else for all we noe we might be the next extinct species. I dun wanna' give spoilers so to all those hu haven't watched yet...GO WATCH IT! IT'S WAAAAY COOL!
Mmm...before that we played a couple of games at the arcade...we tried playing the drums...it was fun though we were newbies at it all...argh! until this guy came up and started playing like REALLY tough songs...my cousin, bro n i stared at each other...and we decided not to play again LOL! My cousin n i tried the DJ mania game...she beat me upside down in it T_T ahh well...she's better than me in loads of stuff...*sigh* did i say that? i think ALL my cousins r better than me...i feel inferior ARGH!!!! okay enuf abt that...oh yes...Christmas is coming!! n so's my birthday! woohoo!! Happy bithday to meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee xdxd Ahh yes one more thing which hapened...this young girl...who was quite short...juz slightly shorter than the length of my legs, came charging into the lift holding her mothers hand...and she ran straight into my...er...i shall be nice n not say it...hint: if u're a guy that wud be the place u wud defend at ALL COST! YES! she ran into there n i couldn't walk properly after that...ouch...anywayz...that was abt wad happened...i think....yar...that's all ^^

Today...well...went to parkway, bought a new WEBCAM and MICROPHONE and met Mark lee. Yup the actor Mark Lee. I was a little shocked at first but i overcame it...ahahaha....until i ran into him again at a shop...well i gotta' say...he's a very polite person ^^"...hmmm...went through nearly the whole of sci-fi/fantasy section at Borders to find my fave Warcraft book...AND COULDN'T FIND IT! ARGH!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Though i had a rough idea after that wad i wud like to get for all my friends as a christmas gift ^^ ahh well that's all for 2day...other than that...i stoned ....MUAHAHAHA okay that's all bye

Class outing ++ Clique outing!! ++ Sushi Partaaay

2008-12-05T09:24:00.002+08:00

AHAHAAHA! One week's worth of events! Finally i'm free enuf to sit down and start blogging! Woohoo! yay me! XD Hmmm ye these are the few events that happened to me this week and last week =) I shall start from the earliest...which is my class outing of course ^^

1. ~~Class Outing~~
Well it was the celebration of my cgmate, Jia wen's, birthday. (her actual b'dae was the previous day though lolzzz) Anywayz before we met up, cause apparently the group was divided into two...one pair and the other group( with jia wen in it). Soooo i decided to meet up with the pair first before going to meet the group. Now that was when things went a little wrong. Apparently we decided to meet at macdonalds, easy peasy rit? They grab a cab, come to macs, pick me up, and we're all happily on our way to meet the others. There was only one itsy bitsy problem. We were at different macs. While i was at the Parkway parade outlet, the other two were at East Coast outlet. Great huh? Anywayz, luckily i ran into the rest of the group (apparently after dunno how long of waiting) and we waited for the pair. XDXD
Anywayz we went inside macs and serene, well she baked a couple of muffins with frosting and sweets, sadly i dun haf a sweet tooth so i decided to just take one of it.
Shortly after a mini feast of muffins and of course, the classic smear-some-cream-onto-the-birthday-girl's-face, we headed for east coast park. To my horror, they decided to go cycling. Why am i scared? Duh! i can't cycle. So anywayz my cgmates end up teaching me how to cycle and one of them stayed with me almost the whole time to make sure i'm safe and sound. How nice! ^^
Of course, i did not expect that i had to cycle up and down the same route dunno how many times looking for people. My friend left me at a shelter with another girl and while he went of looking for some other people. Awhile later, the guys whom he was looking for cycled past us and we stopped them, telling them to stay. They decided to fly off and cycle in order to look for the other two. My friend and i were like...great...so the various groups were cycling in different places and looking for each other.
Finally after it turned dark (literally) we found each other and headed to Subway for dinner!! Whoopie!! My friend and i shared a foots worth of sandwich and hell was it huuumongous! Didn't really matter though i was hungry. So yar we went off to a shelter, played a bit of the card game bluff and then headed home. What a day! Man was i dead tired!!!
Sooo ye i went off to play a bit of game on my laptop before i slept. That's all for my class outing people!! XD

2. ~~~~~~Clique outing~~~~~
Well 2day i went out with my two girlfriends my great pals chi ping and megumi ^^ We went off to watch a movie called Bolt. It was a perfect movie for families. Of course there was comedy, sadness, anger, morales and values all-in-one. It was in 3D but i'd rather it stayed in 2D actually...it was much better. After the movie we went off to walk aimlessly around the whole building of suntec in order to plan out for the party on thursday!! We camped at Starbucks in the end of course. If we walked all day, one of us would surely get leg cramps. After the planning was done, we met up with the rest who were going for the TK Choir Concert movie with us ^^ Anywayz the concert was EXCELLENT! There were some pretty nice songs being sung and it was really great. My friend agreed. Sooo ye after the concert? we left and went home. On our way home in the mrt train, a beetle landed on Megumi and we all freaked out in the bus. After we flung it behind the luggage, it came back and flew around us. At first it landed on me, until i jumped up and down, totally freaking out, then it flew back to meg. We literally acted like little kids on the train. How amusing! The people on the train must haf had an entertaining live show to watch. Lolz. Anywayz, i went home and waited for my boyfriend till midnight and fell asleep. Apparently i found out the next morning that he was already asleep. Oh well, i dun reali blame him XD

3. ~~~Sushi Party~~~~
WHAT A BAAAAAD DAY TO RAIN!! ARGH! HATE THE RAIN HATE THE RAIN! Totally spoiled the fun and ruined the plans my friends n i sooo painstakingly planned out. All the fun...gone with the wind and rain...oh well upside? i got to see my boyfriend again ^^ Happy happy happy me!! Ahh yes...we sat one of the guys from our clique down, and everyone started poking him! Acutally, only 3 of us...me and chips? We merely stood aside and had a good laugh. Ahh it was just like interrogating a suspect...sheesh...My friend and i ate in the morning, so neither of us were really hungry for sushi..ironic eh? We attend a sushi party and neither of us ate sushi. *sigh* we spent the rest of the day in the clubhouse stoning. of course my boyfriend n i took a walk around the condo, preferably sheltered because it was raining. He had to leave soon after though...i was sad to see him leave...><" hmm but i still had my bestie chi ping to accompany me. And i had to thank her for protecting me from the guys...and of course we were mega tempted to shave this guy bald when he continuously tugged on my hair. His brother was sadistic though, he said: About time! We all stared and applauded, of course laughter erupted too. In the end, we watched tv at meg's place until it was time to fly home...and of course i muz thank my bestie's mother for giving me a lift ^^ Soo ye played a couple of games with my guy clique before going off to sleep!! XDXD

Okie...so tt's abt it for the week people...yar...sooo...ciao!!! XDXD

A levels over ++ an outing at my bestie's place!

2008-11-19T22:20:00.001+08:00

AHHH YES YES YES YES!!! FINALLY MY EXAMS ARE OVER!!! WHOOPIE!!! Lolz...been really busy mugging till the point of nearly going crazy, breaking down AND of course no time to update this dead blog of mine...sooo it's time to RE-VIVE IT!! Hmm...i shall recount my subjects one by one paper by paper abt how i felt abt it...xd

1. General paper: Not too bad...paper 1 was average...wrote an essay about dreams...which could be taken in a gazillion ways...sheesh! Paper 2 was....err......doable BUT i hated the application question ... it sucked

2. Chemistry: Paper 3 was my first paper for this subject. I guess it was doable...though my friends from Meridian said that it was EASY. I am mega freaked cause i only found the paper DOABLE. Paper 2 was manageable it was definitely easy except for the final question on transition metals. I spent nearly half the total timing on that particular question...stupid...Paper 1 was dead weird....u shoulda' seen the paper! It's really super duper hyper mega weird.

3. Mathematics: Paper 1 was easier than Paper 2. Dang...Paper 2 stats were easy but the pure maths part was...er...plain ol' crap! i was thinking...the same topics for paper 1 were so much easier????? WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?! Anywayz i juz did the paper and completed it without much complain...okay i lied. i bawled to my bestie after the paper....ahahaha

4. Physics: paper 3 was the first paper as well...it was all right...a lil tough on the B section but the A section was all right...paper 2 was a bit harder...lots of thinking qns...barely finished as the time was up...Paper 1 was...quite easy...well at least easier than paper 2 & 3.

5. Economics: ESSAY WAS A COMPLETE FREAKING GIVEAWAY!!! Case Study 1 was typical...not too difficult not too easy...Case Study 2 however...was...err...a bit more on the thinking side...and i found it tough...still overall the paper was all right i guess...

Yup that's abt it. Anywayz after all my papers, i called up my bestie and became completely emotional xd...that is IF we took the same papers...our only common subjects were general paper, math and chemistry.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~```````````

After my final paper (duh the whole hall cheered) i went over to my bestie's place for a movie marathon! And it's soooo fun!!! We watched Get Smart, Johnny English, Kung Fu Panda. Talk about rolling in laughter. I laughed so hard my tummy ached and i teared a bit. LOL it was mega funny!!! Ooh...and i kinda' made a boo boo...i brought chi ping's friends up to the 3rd floor (which i am sooo not familiar with) When they asked where the jamming room was i accidentally brought them to the toilet. Everyone started laughing including my bestie, chips, herself. I was so embarrassed i could cry. However, all in all we all DID haf plenty of fun. LOVE IT! Okay now that i'm active again. I am able to update my blog more often so yar!! XDXDXD cya all ard!

RANDOM THOUGHTS! for gaming

2008-06-12T22:05:00.002+08:00

Oh my gosh...i was just playing a new game...Luminary: Rise of the Goonzu! (repeat it's GoonZU not GoonDU!) haha ok anywayz, when i first started the game i was thinking...should i get a mage again like i always do? However after i found out about the attack damage from my friend and the mana cost for casting spells, i decided to try something new for a change. At first, i very much wanted to be an Archer, but everyone, i found out, started out as a swordsman. I was reluctant to use the sword but either that or i had to fight barehanded, so obviously i voted for the sword. Ironically as the game continued, i realised i had begun to like the sword more and more.

I was still unable to curb the temptation of using the bow though...thankfully my 'mentor' in the game made one wooden bow for me and i'm currently using it. :D All right, so now i have two weapons, a bow and a sword(wooden bow and bronze sword) and am happily alternating between the two of them each time i gain a level. The sword has a higher dmg but the bow has a better range(obviously you don't stand right in front of a person and shoot do you? You must be mad! Unless the arrow has a poisoned tip then by all means)

Anyway i was discussing with my bf...apparently his character's domineering attribute is his strength which explains why his damage is...well what gamers would call 'imbal'. However, there is a downside to it as well. If you focus merely on your strength, your dmg may be excellent, however, your endurance and ability to evade will render your character in quite a dangerous position...of course if u're like my bf who is able to do one-hit KO damages then i have got nothing to say.
Nevertheless, I personally prefer a well-balanced character...and since i intend to be a swordswoman and archer, i'm quite lucky in the sense that they both require the same sets of attributes to boost. So yeah...i try to balance out my Strength, Vitality and Agility. Currently, i'm really happy with the way my character is 'growing' because even though my damage isn't as great, i am able to last in the battle. To me, endurance and defence is more important than attacks.

I'm sure all of you who play DOTA(Defense of the Ancients) out there will know who Enchantress is. For the benefit of the doubt, Enchantress is a hero that looks kind of a cross between a human and a horse...i think...basically she's a dryad(looks a bit like a centaur to me) Anyway, I just love using her cause she can survive in the battlefield for REALLY REALLY long(provided you know how). All i need are boots and circlets of nobility, plus mantle of intelligence as well then i'm off to fight the Scourge/Sentinel, depending on which team i am on. I start of with my favourite move Impetus, which i will use to harress the opponent as much as possible. I'm still quite weak in the game though, everytime i play i just hope i do not end up getting pawned for first blood. It is really embarrassing, so what if i'm a girl? ><

Haha. For Final Fantasy, I LOOOVE SHIVA. HAHA!!!! Shiva looks really pretty and her attacks of diamonds/crystals are waaaaaaay cool! My party currently consists of Cloud, Tifa and Aerith(or Aeris as some call her). If possible i'll always stick to this party until i reach a certain point where I am forced to carry one other person along.

That's all for the time being...AHAHAHA! Okay byebye...i am extremely tempted to start a new blog for gaming purposes only. OMG! LOL!

Gaming week!

2008-06-07T13:05:00.002+08:00

AHAHA! Apart from studying i haf been playing two games too! 1. Gunz 2. Final Fantasy VII!! OMG! I've gained two levels for my Gunz character when i played with my brother n boyfriend (they're apparently level 51 and 43 respectively while i am only lvl 14...scary huh? the difference in level) So yea...i'm currently training up and practicing new skills like wall running, wall hanging, changing weapons while shooting (mostly for ranged weapons of course, not melee) n oh i learnt that there're some monsters that look dead creepy...especially the ones in the Dungeon...WALKING ARMOURED SKELETONS! AIYEE! I'd juz die from shock first before i get shot dead if i were there in reality...the goblins are...well...juz..plain...short...i can happily jump over them n manouever my way through. Their ranged weapon (if it ain't a boss round) is merely a gun...thus...i learnt my lesson...ALWAYS KILL THE SHOOTERS FIRST!! Melee...i can happily kill them off later on...that's how i haf been levelling...nyahahahaha. Oh! I LOOOVE how the Prison foes look like...they resemble a cross between a dragon and human...reptiles that stand on two legs and are armoured with blue scales...i think they look THEEE BEST! I hate the ranged ones that come along with them though...those white ones look ugly.
Anywayz i was juz playing FFVII on my lappy the other day n funnily enuf, was watching FFVII Advent Children on Animax at the exact same time. I fought creatures that range from OH-SO-CUTE-I-WANNA'-SQUEAL to OH-MY-GOSH-YUCK or ARRGH-SCARY! I LOOOVE the Chocobos dancing...they look soooo cyuuute n even the background music is KAWAII too!! NYAAAA! N i JUST love them if only they're real i'd hug 'em, squeeze 'em and ride 'em...CAUSE THEY ARE FRIGGIN CUTE! AHH!!
Okay lunch time...screenshots another time...haha bye peeps..Nurvy signing out!

crude...

2008-05-28T18:16:00.002+08:00

Oh i juz had an entire 3 days worth of lesson ... which i'm not complaining abt...learnt new stuff...better absorption...now is to start applying and mugging!! which i can't wait to do...n of course i dun intend on going for the re-test and stuff that the school is creating for us...my dad reckons i'm not actually weak...it's juz that i was stressed out into a blank out state...i juz need some stressLESS moments n not someone hunting down my neck half the time...that's all i ask for...really...i dun want screaming, i dun want nagging, i dun want nada! i juz want to be left alone to do things because i'm grown up, i noe wad the heck i want and need...i noe wad works for me n wad does not. i juz...all i ask for is to be left alone to study in peace...without anyone trying to force their ideas onto me. I juz want my parents to be there for me to guide me, advice me, not try forcing their ideas onto me n keeping a closed mind thinking they are right all the time n that the whole world is against them...i hate it...cause in the end i will feel the stress of that person. I mean...hello if u're stressed go de-stress before coming home. Please don't bring that stress into the house n cause the whole world to be hyped up n agitated along with you...it's so tiring...i thought if i quit my cca, i'd haf more time n more peace to be able to study but nooo...mummy juz has to still be screaming...even if it's not directed at me it's dead annoying to juz hear someone screaming in the house...my brother can take it fine my dad can take it fine but that doesn't mean i can....oh my gosh...i juz need a break..

HOLIDAYS ARE HEREEEE!

2008-05-24T15:00:00.003+08:00

OMG! The loooong awaited June break is here! Too bad i'm fully booked for one week but no matter i still have the weekends and three weeks to sleep in!! I'm so happy! Refresh, Renergise myself with...SLEEP! ahh *light shines from the sky* of course study is included. Since i have quit my cca, it means i have to bank EVERYTHING on my studies, which i do not really mind actually...it's not like my social life is dying whatsoever...nyahahahaha

okay anywayz...I HAVE FINALLY RECOVERED! after a week actually but i had no time to blog abt it...so anywayz yea i was supposed to have my A levels practical...n sth really hilarious happened...my tutor gave us the wrong paper...all of us but one ended up with the MOCK exam paper...so THAT"s why we found it SOOO familiar...

So yea i went to watch a movie with mua friend...we watched Indiana Jones!! Kingdom of the Crystal Skull! AHH IT WAS FRIGGIN HILARIOUS! NYAHAHAHAHA! It was basically exciting, thrilling, comedic all-in-one. A typical adventurous movie! Oh...the previous movie of Indiana Jones watched by me had his Father...now it's his...oops...i shan't give any spoilers...later on during tuition...i was soooo tired!! I was gulping water like mad to keep myself awake...den i slept...n literally hibernated until i was woken up to eat...at 11 plus at night...then i went back to hibernation...until nxt morning...ahahahaha...

Anywayz my mother juz gave me an article to read...about this writer who has family members from all over the world...as in...LITERALLY all over...u got your American, English, Sri Lankan...yup yup...it's in Todays Newpaper...read it ppl it's quite hilarious...it's called 'i flew over the cuckoo's nest' or sth along that line...pretty interesting for someone who enjoys reading abt social issues and life in general...hehe

SICK SICK SICK!

2008-05-09T20:57:00.002+08:00

OMG! I've fallen sick for the first time in the entire year...NOOOOOOO!!! N it's all thanks to my dear father who JUST couldn't resist gettin himself sick n passing it on to me. By the time he realised that he was really sick, i already had the virus in me n it was working it's way through my body making me feel dead uncomfortable.

So anyway i woke up at 2:20am feeling as if my body was on fire, n woke my mum up in order to tell me where the thermometer was. When i took my temperature, uh-oh...38 degrees...i am officially sick n i ended up not going to school today...haizzzz...i was whisked of to the doctor by my mother...n apparently as usual the doctor(also my uncle) ended up telling me to study hard yada yada yada n i was like...enough is enough...i'm sick here n u're there tellin me to study...>_<

Anywayz i went home awhile later n decided to take a rest...i was quite shocked at the amt of medicine which i had to take. First, 3 pills(2 antibiotics and one tablet to soothe the stomach queasiness i think) den it was mealtime( a measly bowl of porridge but better den nth) n after tat...two more pills for my cough and one spoon of reali YUCKY cough syrup...(eesh! i shut my eyes as i was drinking it) I was thinking to myself throughout this time...ahh i am SOOOO going to kill my dad...cause to be dead honest i was really angry...*fumes*

Oh but things din turn out tat bad after all cause my boyfriend came over ^^ He took care of me...making sure that my temperature didn't go off the charts...apparently it kinda fluctuated btwn 38 degrees and 37.9 degrees...luckily i did not cough as much...although i think he will end up falling sick cause the virus that resides within me is VERY contagious...i warned him and yet he wasn't afraid to take care of me...i guess i hafta admit i was really moved and it was really sweet of him to care for me till the extent that he wasn't afraid of himself falling sick.

Now i shall go take another LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG rest and pray that my throat gets better...cause even though i'm not in the choir anymore, i still love singing n i do hope that i can sing once again...

ok i shall leave you guys here today...another post will come out soon WHEN i haf the time...nii~~~

PW A levels...n my entire week...

2008-04-12T16:52:00.003+08:00

Results of my Project work was released yesterday...I GOT A B!!! I'm really glad that i got a B! I was seriously expecting worst! NI~~~~ In my team...one of the members got an A...n in my cg...only 2 of them had an A...there were a sprinkle of Bs...n majority were Cs...I wasn't the least sad tat i did not get an A...i'll admit...hey i'm serious. I'm not sad at all...but i feel sad for those who did not achieve the results they wanted...like my bestie chi ping from Meridian...n some of my cgmates...however i wish them all the best n i pray for them to haf the strength n courage to move on. ^^

Ok...out of 5 days...i spent...3 days with my boyfriend...oh yes i am attached now ^^ n i'm really happy...i call him Will...he's from Meridian...hard to meet though...i'm from SA he's from MJC...but i guess it didn't really matter...so anyway we studied together for the first two days...Tue n Wed at my place...on friday...we had tuition together...quality time spent with a loved one really feels great!

Although...this morning...i received some sad news...apparently we are no longer able to haf tuition together anymore...i nearly cried...i was so sad...i mean..currently we only got to see each other once a week...now...we dun get to see each other at all...I thought...it's not fair...why does life have to be like this? But the more i thought about it...i had a different perception...what if this is just a test? A test to see if we really loved each other? The test of time...if we pass this test...we might be able to overcome anything else...i guess this thought will be the source of my strength to go on...i do hope my partner feels the same way as well...i really hope so...>_<

Study program...n LIFE!

2008-04-07T23:06:00.002+08:00

All right...two weeks ago i was asked to go for a mastry study program in my JC...because of my sucky, hellish results. At first, I behaved totally like a little kid...i was like thinking of endless amounts of excuses to get myself out...but i had to go in the end...but guess what? I did not regret going at all...or at least...not as much as i expected...

We were taught various techniques such as mind-mapping, drawing pictures to understand things better, form a story to aid us in memory work...yea...it was quite funny the way they did it. Simply...hilarious. So anywayz, the trainers were telling us about a gazillion stories and making us laugh until we tear. Pretty cool huh? I only remembered a couple of them...one included memory aids...one of the Principles of Memory was "Outstanding" if a male tutor were to enter a class n write a formula, the chances of us remembering is quite low...however...if he were to enter wearing a bikini suit...we'd rmb the formula for life right? WRONG! I'd forget the formula but i'd remember the tutor for life!

It was quite informative...i learnt about how society will be like once i officially finish my education...how the working world is...little bits of tips n advices here and there...really useful...how to overcome various challenges...we were also taught on how to have the correct mindset when faced with problems. All in all it was very useful...although...the second day...was a disaster

Apparently they made us all really emotional by asking us to imagine our less-liked parent on a hospital bed n dying! I was like...excuse me? Exactly what are they trying to pull here? I mean..it only motivated me for like...less than 10 minutes...immediately after we were asked to open our eyes...i treated everything like it was a dream...n forgot every single thing...i realised most of them had fallen asleep during the talk....*shrugs* i thought it might work...but definitely not for me...

I love the part where they taught us on Life in general the most. Cause...it teaches everyone 2 cherish n appreciate everything we've got..treasure our loved ones, relish everything we are given. That was how i'm brought up by my father. N i enjoyed his teachings very well.

As part of the closing ceremony...SOME of us volunteered to go up...me being one of them. My daddy was reali proud..my mum was reali...NOT proud...in fact she was quite pissed tat i went up to make an impromptu speech...*sniffle sniffle* Oh i realised one thing...i was basically the ONLY girl who went up and did not cry...the rest of the girls shed tears n i was quite shocked. I thought...am i human or am i a cyborg? No matter though...I spoke wad i truly felt inside to everyone...of course minus the negative parts...or else i'd probably be thrown into a cauldron of boiling oil!

That was basically it...oh...wait...one more extra no-link detail. They played the theme from DOTA: Return of the Ancients n i was so excited abt it...tt was how some ppl got to noe i play DOTA.

Er......>_<

2008-03-26T21:13:00.002+08:00

I failed 2 subjects...got U...*shrugs* oh well...n i'm guessing my last subject will get a U as well...Triple Us...lousy grades...but oh well...i'll just accept it...learn from my mistakes n move on...after all there's no way i can turn back time n retake my block test after all...

I wud like 2 thank my friends for being there for me and being concerned for me ^^ I can assure you guys i am really fine...i'm not saddened nor discouraged, most of all definitely not demoralised...my aim in JC is to do well in my A levels...my grades for my Block tests, MSAs, Mid-Years do not really matter to me...i can be attending workshops to improve my studying abilities though i think am not 100% sure if it will improve my results....

I just wish i do not panic like how i did for my Block Test...i can't gurantee an A...but i know i'll pass...for some reason i really blanked out during the papers...eesh...freaky....oh well...what's gone is gone...i'll just take it as another challenge which life has thrown at me to overcome...because after all, life is not a bed of roses..there are bound to be obstacles to overcome...this is just another roadblock which i haf to clear...i am not giving up...not yet....not at least until I can gurantee a good score for my A levels...in the meantime, i am thankful for all the support i receive from my family and friends...^^

BLOCK TEST

2008-03-24T22:38:00.002+08:00

Nii~~ I juz had my block test last week...n er...i think i like totally screwed up the paper. Ever since i came to JC, i've had this problem of blanking out and not able to recall a single thing when i go for my papers...sheesh...n the result? Simply failing my papers like crap...ahhh!! Anyway, GP was ok, Chem was fine...(a lot of careless mistakes though i feel) Econs...so-so...Maths and Physics? DIE! WAHOO!! Hello J1! here i come!

Yea...it is possible that i will get thrown back to J1 cause i'm on conditional promotion...which means if i dun hit at least 35 points for my block test 1(which i doubt i will) i'll get thrown back to J1. Gee....repeating my J1 year is like a waste of my time...i intend on juz going through with it...all the way till my A Levels...if i am forced to retain though...i haf an alternate route...yea poly. Mum n Dad dun mind me going...cause they know i'll land up with something which i enjoy doing and am good at...beats studying...tt's wad i feel...

Haizz...results getting back soon...oh well...i am like so immune to my results it scares even me. In fact, i am more worried about things which are like totally not related to my studies...yeap! I wonder why myself...geez....

Need a haircut...my hair is already touching my waist...omg......scary.....time for a hair trim i guess ^^

2 major events for me: Air Show and Service Learning at NUH

2008-02-28T18:29:00.003+08:00

People! I've juz been to two wow-wee exciting events...^^ reali interesting experiences i must say...i attended the Air Show last Sat (23rd Feb) and 2day was Service Learning at NUH!(National University Hospital)

Event (1): Air Show

The Air show...let me summarise....it's excellent...minus the heat, the queue n the PLENTY of waiting time...which drove my friends n brother crazy...of course i was the only one hu was quite happy with the warm temperature ^^ so i din complain at all...LOLLOL.

Anywayz, when we first reached Pasir Ris Interchange, one of my friends Joey asked his uncle for a lift, which we were thankful for...because apparently we couldn't get a cab n the waiting queue for the Shuttle Bus was REALLY LONG! It stretched all the way until i couldn't even see the end...sweet eh? However...when we sat in the taxi...oh boy...i was squashed between two guys...n i was dead scared to move...me friend jerold n i took turns to lean forward n backwards...until we both gave up n decided to lean back....or else one/both of us might haf ended up with a reali bad backache.

Finally, after half an hour ( or was it longer?) or so we finally reached the place...SAD! We only got to watch A WEE BIT of the aerial show...DANG! >_< hereThere were all sorts of reali cool weapons/transport machine gears...^^

Of course we had fun as a amongst ourselves as well...which i will not spill...but yea it was really memorable...^^ teehee...tat was about it for the Air Show...we den ran off(not literally or we'll be panting n we'd haf broken legs) to Parkway ... chomped on sth light n played at the arcade before we went our seperate ways for dinner...*snigger* yeap tat's it for the day! ^^

LOL! The 5 of us! Hehe starting from me(me only girl) in clockwise direction: will, joey, me brother n jerold! ^^

Event Number (2): Service Learning at NUH

Well...we sewed some stuffed hearts for the patients...it really made my day i guess, to see smiles on the patient's face...yet...at the same time...i felt really sorry for them...They all looked...lethargic...they all seem to have lost hope in life...or at least for the ward that i was assigned to...my heart really went out to them...i guess hearing from others and actually seeing the situation...just being there really makes a lot of differences. Being there...even for just a mere two hours, has really taught me to appreciate life itself more...n tat life itself is actually such a delicate state...we muz learn to live n cherish the present moment...not take it for granted...

For the Finale, we went into a couple of wards and sang: When You Believe from The Prince Of Egypt...it was a wonderful finale...three people cried...n some of us were on the verge of tears. Me? I have cried too much this year and the previous year already...i felt sad...but i guess i just had no more tears to cry...yeap that's it! My two exciting experiences! ^^

CNY Celebrations

2008-02-09T11:29:00.001+08:00

There was me, my brother (quentin), megumi, william, jerold, joey(jerold n joey joined us later) n a new guy...sze chun! hehe...We played DOTA...poor meg...i think she must haf felt really left out...she couldn't play...maybe i should haf let her try the game...sighz...anywayz, yes me, sze chun and joey were being teamed up...while my brother, jerold n will were being grouped. Oh man sze chun was really pro...he literally owned the game! I could see n hear the computer blaring: Double Kill! Triple Kill! M-m-m-monster kill! Godlike! Holy shit! I think my jaw nearly touched the floor. For me...i din bother killing anyone...i merely happily farmed the creeps for experience and money ^^ my team won!! YIPPEE! of course the previous game...when my brother n i were in the same team..we had only one thing to say...GG(good game) = die!
Anywayz at night...we went to my Grandmother's place for dinner...Reunion dinner!! ^^ of course when i first went there i didn't really talk as i was quite tired...after awhile though...i was happily chatting with my aunt/uncle over dinner...it was really fun!

Think we managed to recruit 20+ people to the choir...although i'm not sure how many of them wud remain behind in SAJC for the 2nd intake...which is in a few weeks time...i wish we can recruit more...than it'll be really fun! ^^

LOOONG DAY!!!

2008-01-05T22:54:00.000+08:00

LOLZ...basically i was doing a lot of running today. Us choir members had our usual PT(Physical Training) so we had 2 run around the basketball court...did jumping jacks, crunches n push-ups...played Husband and Wife...(refer to my previous post of i-haf-no-idea-how-long-ago)...a game similar to catching...before going for practice.

Then I had 2 run to catch the only bus tat was available outside the school's main gate cause someone locked up the only two side-gates...n then thankfully i got a break in my sec sch...before running of to catch a bus again to my friend's (Jerold) place where my brother and his friend(William, oso my friend) were at....fantastico!

After stoning at our Jer's place for abit...we ran off to PL!! I played O2jam, Gunz...but sadly we had no time to dota...n er...once i reached home i intend to study n not play games anymore..until As are over...

Ltr, we decided to accompany Will to his Dad's office...at the Concourse...where we chatted, studied a bit, did some work, chatted, laughed...did some ridiculous pinching stuff to each other...basically someone pinches you n u haf to pinch anyone but the person hu pinch u...n the number of times had 2 be the same as well...i was the only girl...how nice...n er...will pinched jer i-do-not-know-how-many-times and jerold looked at me..i was thinking...oh no...n ran for it...not much space though...so i relented *sigh* but it was fun!

Ate dinner at Burger King juz opposite the office...(Will couped some food from us...our fries n my drink....>.<) That was it then...we went our seperate ways n went home...

Oh...added some new songs...Mmm...Power of the Horde (dedicated to Will); Country Road(dedicated to Luke) and Go! Go! Carlito! (dedicated to Jerold) More will be added soon ^^

2007-12-27T22:28:00.000+08:00

Yea!! 2day was one of the crazier birthday celebrations i've had in my life. LOL...so i shall start from the beginning...n tat means when i wake up...

On the previous night, i told my friends tat they could come at 10am...but if by 11:30am they aren't able to make it they had 2 make their way to our lunch destination themselves. N what time did i wake up? 10:30am...believe me i literally jumped out of bed and ran to find my phone...thank heavens no one called...just as i was about to go back to sleep however, my phone rang...ah...William and Hoa kiat have already reached...so I guess I had to make my way downstairs and pick them up. Before I even walked them to the lobby, Joey called...and I had 2 pick him up as well...then Megumi turned up...thank goodness she was dropped off at the lobby...last but not least, Jerold sms Joey...and I screamed. I gave Joey the card key and told him to open the gate for him when he came...because I was quite tired of having to move around like crazy. Not to mention i haven't brushed my teeth or bathed!

Once i FINALLY reached home, I ran off to bathe...ah...the nice warm water...of course i'm not supposed to bathe immediately after i wake up because i'll catch a cold...hmm...after tat nth much till we reached our destination...ate at Raffles City...a buffet lunch...and er...one of my friends had a huge appetite. At first, I was the only one hu was quite surprised and freaked...ltr on even the 4 boys sitting opposite me had the same reactions as well. If i'm not wrong he went for 5+ rounds while the rest of us had 3 to 4 rounds only...

Went off to Suntec Guild and played Pool!! Man was it fun...but because there were 7 people it wud definitely be unbalanced. In the end, we played a few rounds...wif the JC peeps against the non-JC peeps: Me, Megumi, Hoa Kiat and William vs Joey, Jerold and my brother. It was fun...but for the 2nd round...we played halfway and mum said time to cut the cake...oh yea...for the first time i actually cut the cake outside of home...^^...pretty interesting experience i muz say...dad took a couple of photos...we ate the cake...drank some juice and continued the game.

Oh yes...while meg, will, joey n i were waiting for the rest to arrive...i could see will trying to get his phone because he thought meg was sitting on it...at first tat's wad i thought to....until she told me in F-language tat it was in her bag...i was looking at her bag which was on her lap...and william was trying to reach behind her for his phone...oh man...the attempts used were...hilarious. I felt bad though..reali...but then i merely ignored them...ignorance is bliss after all...and watched Joey played his PSP...after awhile meg went to the toilet...wad an idea to escape...she finally returned the phone though..through yours truly of course.

After staying at the guild hs for awhile more...we went back home...and played computer games! Hk was eager to go down and play soccer...i played...but i sucked because it had been a LOOOONG time since i played...then it was back home after a drink...and everyone went back to their own houses....wad a day! ^^

couple of photos:

oi di! hurry up and hit lah! the rest of us getting impatient liao

Sporty Outing!!

2007-12-17T21:37:00.000+08:00

2day i was out with my brother n two poly friends of mine (Jerold and joey both from my sec sch)...playing badminton...hmm...we were at Mountbatten CC (juz outside my primary school KHS) n the ventilation inside the hall was reali bad...oh n the fans weren't turn on too...i wasn't complaining abt the heat...more because of the lack of fresh air which all of us need.

I was teamed with joey while the two Santas (my bro n jerold: santa jnr n snr respectively) paired off; we didn't keep track of the score....juz whack the shuttlecock...n i oso found out exactly how polluted my brother's mind was...

Ate at a foodcourt nearby n we all told a gazillion jokes...laughing our way through...it was a very relaxing atmosphere...to be with good old friends (hu cares if i was the only girl?) Following that we went to Jerold's place...played DDR n this bicycle game whereby there're different modes....one's a normal racing mode while for the other mode...u hafta do as many stunts as possible within 5 min...i got whacked by both my brother n jerold...ARGH! Then we went to his room n i stoned while the guys worked on their labtops...

That was it...nth else happened...i juz went home and sleep...i was very tired...n...oh man...mum's screaming at the maid AGAIN! *plugs in ear-piece* MUch better

My vacation trip in Australia!! =)

2007-12-08T16:32:00.000+08:00

Yup! My trip to Australia...well i muz say it has been a really fun experience ... LOLZ. There were a few weird and retarded happenings...i'll list them one by one...starting from Day One...

Day One: Airport/Farm Trip =)

I'll combine the night we left the airport and the day at the farm into one post...since there really was nothing much at the airport...-_-" We didn't really do much at the airport...juz took our dinner at a fancy restaurant(mind you i'd haf preferred sth simple...) Dad took LOTS of photos...but I won't be showing them all...juz one or two at the airport n at the farm....our flight was at 11pm...AND...my brother or dad...one of them...suggested me posing as a 12 year old so that we could board the plane slightly earlier...i was thinking...oi...i'm 17 years old...not a 12 year old kid...so anyway yea we boarded the plane...i watched Ratatouile on the plane and slept for the rest of the journey...but i hardly slept though...wasn't really comfortable...n i heard lots of shuffling between my family members...(felt a little nauseous too...probably because i didn't eat...)

Here's our hand luggage...well...dad's going 2 be carrying it...but sometimes i carried it too..it's heavy

So anywayz our landing was slightly delayed...because the gates which we were supposed to alight from was still occupied...so...we continued stoning

Well...i kinda' predicted wad we were going to do at the farm...it was the usual...sheep-shearing...Billy Tea...horse-riding DEMO not riding on the horse itself...kinda' enjoyed the Koala carrying part though..oh! not forgetting...whip cracking(really loud)and i nearly stepped on a sheepdog that was waiting for her turn to perform and show off her sheep-herding skills.

Speaking of sheeps...i managed to feed some baby lambs along with other baby animals like the calves, chickens...er...goats...and one specie of bird which i haf no idea wad it was. Gee...better go find out...ah! We watched the horses raced each other around the fields...pretty fun to watch =) There was this portion of the show...a lady was asked to go up front and hold a piece of fern leaf in her mouth while one of the farmers sliced the leaf into half using a whip. She was blindfolded and they said it was to protect her nose from being sliced off. I had no idea wad to say. Anyway
they did some prayer stuff which was meant to be a joke...gee whiz...if there were catholics there i guess they wud haf been slightly offended...*shrugs*

O...the food was yummy...love the fish....the smell of fish wasn't really strong so there...during lunch the entertainer, hu was singing, came over to our table and sang a few verses of some love song...i was thinking...excuse me...i'm eating here!! but to be polite i shut up.

That was abt it for the first day i guess...yup after tat we went over to eat dinner at a chinese restaurant and back to the hotel we went for our sleep....i was dead tired...

at the farm in front of a cow...my brother looks cool with his sunglasses doesn't he?

Day Two: MOVIE WORLD ;)

Yeap! As it says...movie world...where all Warner Bros movies u can think of appear here...we haf scooby doo, Superman, Batman, Looney Tunes, Shrek...n others which i can't remember...so anyway the minute we entered, a roller coaster ride caught my eye...man was the coming down steep and boy was it high!! On the bus i told my dad i wud try every single roller-coaster ride there was to try...but after seeing the ride...i decided to take back what i said...yes i chickened out...*cluck cluck*. We went back to our usual Scooby ride...brings back memories...why? Cause the first time we came my dad told us tat it was just a MILD STIMLATION RIDE. After the ride i was rdy to whack him...because it turned out to be a HIGH SPEED ROLLER COASTER.. The first time i went i sat at the back and when we stopped all of a sudden with a wall in front of us, i stupidly looked back and realised that there was a track. I was so frightened tat i wanted to jump out of the carriage ... but well tat was the first time...this time round i was more prepared...when we were thrown from side to side at the sharp turns, i shouted over the loud music: DI! SORRY ABOUT MY HAIR because my hair was flying around...

Next up was the Wild Wet Falls...we were quite freaked at the height because it was high up and quite steep. We went through with it though...n at the end became QUITE wet... we oso checked out the Shrek Movie in 4D....pretty amusing i must say...when the donkey sneezed there was actual water being sprayed at us...gross....n there was a part whereby the spiders started crawling and i felt sth below my legs...i screamed n lifted up my legs...n my dad n bro laughed at me...-_-" I got the last laugh though...my brother got his sunglasses and 4D glasses mixed up...threw in his sunglasses instead of the 4D glasses by mistake...man!! Talk abt hilarious!! =D

Later we went shopping...bought some things...took pix of the Mystery Inc. wif Scooby Doo, Catwoman, Hawkgirl, Wonderwoman, Flash n can't rmb the last one...Bugs, Tweety, Daffy. Austin Powers(yeah baby yeah)....yeap! Later on was Bonnie and Clyde...that one really had some side-splitting laughter scenes...apparently Bonnie held the policeman hostage...and er...she called out one of the kids to put two fingers against his bag while she lied tat it was her gun n she'll shoot him if he dared turn back...in the meantime they escaped while the poor kid was left there with his fingers against the policeman's back and the policeman juz stood there like a dummy...a really scared dummy...hehe......That was abt it...after tat it was dinner(at the same restaurant as the previous day) n back to the hotel!!

Rawr!!! hmm..we look more stunned than scary...taken while waiting for Scooby Doo ride to start

Day three: Dreamworld =S

Woohoo! 2day's Dreamworld...where all the rides are! =) Spongebob, Rugrats...lolz...Hmm...my brother and I tried out the Angry Beavers ride...it's juz a simple ride where you the ground is elevated at an angle and you go round and round and round and round....so basically...this time my stomach didn't lurch like it used to...but my brother and I couldn't stand straight after that...

Bumper cars was fun...there was one ride which i sat in the same car as my brother while HE drove....believe me it was no smooth ride...he was dive-bombing others half the time and i think i musta' looked pretty scared. We decided to go on The Cyclone...a roller-coaster ride...my bro n i made a new friend there...his name's Matthew...n guess wad? He's from SAS....gee n i'm from SAJC...wad a small world! So yea...the ride went upside down and it was quite long...his younger sister was clinging on to her father as she was scared...guess wad? In the end...a minute before the ride started...he backed out. My bro n i were like...oi! it was pretty ironic...his sister was the one hu was really scared and in the end he backed out...before i could say or think though we were off,...i saw the sky and next the ground was hurling towards me and i shut my eyes...-_-" I oso got to know the guy who sat behind us as we were all telling each other to scream...we were like..scream ah scream ah! SET! in the end after a few seconds of realising i was the only one screaming....i shut up. embarrassing sia. =P

Following that we went for two wet rides...Thunder Rapid rides and the Log Ride...the rapid rides was quite mild...juz sit inside a circluar raft n get spun while it drifts along with the water currents...seems like my brother got the most wet...the Log Ride was worst...cause the peak was HIGH and we ALL got wet...not just my brother...so did my dad and I...=D

Saw a tigress and her cub...well...her cub was half her size...pretty huge....they were really beautiful creatures...ah yes...my brother and i went on the Repta roller-coaster...your legs were left dangling but it was a pretty short ride...45 seconds more or less...around there...i guess tat was it for Dreamworld...it's better for u to experience the rides themselves...hehe...hmmm...ah yes...we went on a boat cruise...it really was a cruise all right...the travel speed was slooooooooooowwww......i juz stoned at the beautiful greeneries out there...i love animals n wanted to see the mini animal farm...but because mum couldn't take the smell...sheesh...no chance...=( n that was it for 2day...lolz!!

hehe..couldn't resist takin a photo wif a tiger...=)

er....Floor? or Ceiling? or Wall?

Day 4: Seaworld =D

Third and last world....we first checked out the Polar Bear area...they were soooooo cyuute! There were two of them...and they were playing with whatever toys that was available...next dad took us to the Shallow Pond...where i saw sea cucumbers, starfishes...a miniature version of a stingray...urm...i rmb there was a word 'sand' in the name but tat's all i remember...-_-" Had an excellent view of the sharks....man talk about humongous...its length was nearly my height if not greater!! There were Stingrays as well, clownfishes...lots of varieties.

My family oso caught the movie Planet SOS in 4D. That movie showed us abt the consequences tat wud happen if we continued our wasteful ways...so the main problems were...Deforestation, Global Warming and...Pollution!!! Yeap! Following that...were the rides...this time even my mum joined in...we went on the Bermuda Triangle and the Volcano Ride...hmm...we got wet for both rides....the photo that came out was pretty amusing..my brother looked as if he was trying to back out of the ride...LOLZ....and i couldn't duck because my brother was in front of me! Hehe....tat was for the Volcano Ride...

For the bermuda Triangle...the drop was less scary, shorter height and more gradual. The Volcano Ride's drop was close to a 90 degree drop....mightily steep!! We caught the Dolphin show! Amazing, Intelligent, Beautiful and Graceful creatures they were....even though they did the usual flips and walking on water with their tails...it never ceases to amaze me...but...i still think they look the best in their natural state...just swimming around and making calls...=) Still, kudos to the trainer's hardwork...it muz haf taken lots of discipline and focus to be able to do tricks like standing on two dolphins while they swim.. Ferris Wheel ride was a new attraction...it was a pretty stunning view from the top...although one of the passengers who was sitting with us had a fear of heights and did not dare look down...poor thing...i decided to show her on my phone instead...simple shot and hey presto! =) Scenery's on my phone!

During lunch, it rained...NOOOO!!! WASHOUT!! So we had no choice...but to just browse around the shops...and guess wad? we ran into the same guy who sat in the same carriage as us the previous day for the Cyclone ride. Talk abt yer major coincidence!! So we chatted for abit before going our seperate ways as dad wanted to check out the Sea-Lion Detective show. Hehe. The show was comical ... i haf a video...but due to some piracy copyright issues...i'm not allowed to show it...SORRY PEOPLE!!

Anywayz after tat the sun came out and it stopped raining!! YIPPE!! My brother and I decided to go for the Cockscrew ride...another roller-coaster...n voila! We met our friend again! LOL. But he was ahead of us...so he waited for us while my brother and i went for the ride...

The three of us then went off for the Bermuda Triangle and Volcano Rides again...well...again for my brother and i...cause our friend did not have the chance to go before it rained...so anywayz...while waiting for our turn...i asked him to guess my age. He looked at me and went: 13+? My brother burst out laughing. I was like...no...17! He nearly died of shock because I do NOT look the least bit 17...

Later on, we went for the Pirate Ship ride! And i couldn't stand straight after tat....then the guy suggested: Let's go on the Cockscrew Rollercoaster again! I nearly fainted....dad reckoned i looked hilarious on the ride...cause i was screaming and had my eyes shut while the guys around me were juz staring at me...-_-" Yup tat's all for Seaworld...so yea...we went back and tat's abt it...=)

(from front to back) me, my brother and our friend on the volcano ride

Yes my brother and i were on this ride...can't rmb which carriage though...

Day 5: FREE AND EASY

Nothing much 2day...we juz went shopping...i bought one new mini skirt...a couple of sleeping shorts...my brother got half his new year's shopping done...he bought this really cool-looking tee tat had a skull on it...NICE...mum wasn't happy...DUH! She's never happy unless things go HER way...but i shan't touch on that...so yea...oh...at breakfast? Dad kinda' dropped the sugar packet in along with the sugar tat went into his coffee...so yea...we all juz shopped around today and walked and walked and walked some more...

Tat is....until dad suggested going to the beach! Yeah! The sand over there is REALLY soft...sort of like poweder...not the rough, coarse sand we get in Singapore at Sentosa or East Coast...the beaches there are much MUCH cleaner...and the waters are really cool....loved the beach there...and it was juz a few minutes walk from our hotel...Surfer's Paradise...this little boy stood next to me for awhile...then said: I love the way the waters dig a hole in the sand....i looked at him and merely smiled...then i screamed cause there was a huge wave coming towards me...it totally soaked my bermudas...ARGH!! Mum's gonna' murder me! So anywayz we trudged back to the hotel..half soaked and prayed tat we wud dry up before mum suspected anything...by the way...only dad, my brother and I went to the beach...dunno why mum didn't want to go...guess she's just not in tune with nature...unlike yours truly...

That's me! Taking a video of the beach...the water waves...

Day 6: Bye bye Australia...Hello Singapore!!

Well...2day we left Australia and boarded the plane...haizz was feeling a little nauseous on the plane...maybe because i haven't been eating well for the past whole week,...no idea why...i juz did not feel like eating....*shrugs* mum n dad keep asking me if i'm ok...and i was like...yea...why shouldn't i be? It's not like i'm bugged by some problem or anything...On the plane...i barely ate...just wanted to rest and watch movie...i so did not feel like stufing anything down my throat...when i got back to Singapore...well...i was dead tired...tat's one...and two...i didn't even eat dinner...so yea...got pretty weak and wanted nth more than go home and sleep........but i ended up dotaing instead...well...tat's another story...=)

Dreams

2007-11-30T12:25:00.000+08:00

=P i decided to talk abt dreams 2day...since nth interesting has reali happened to me yet...except for the fact that i've been busy packing my stuff for my holiday trip! When am i flying off? 2morrow night...eesh!! WAAA!! NO DOTA FOR 7 DAYS!!! *flood* hmmm...*rubs chin* anywayz...yea...i have been dreaming more than usual these days...so i decided to talk on dreams..no not abt my dreams...abt dreams in general!

So...what exactly is a dream?

Well...some ppl reckon it's something like a movie which is being played out by our subconscious minds...it may have colours or it could be in black and white...the only thing different from the movies which we watch in the cinemas is that more often than not, our dreams have absoloutely no sounds...it's like...what you would call a 'silent movie'

Dreams can be both pleasant and unpleasant...do you ever realise that normally we'll start of with some nice, sweet dreams where we feel all warm and fuzzy...think happy thoughts...us being with our loved ones...being in a peaceful environment...yea

however, once dawn nears and we are just about to wake up...our nightmares begin. Yes. Now all thoughts of monsters, our loved ones leaving us, vampires, basically our fears and what pains us coming to life in our minds...then just as those fears catch up with us, our eyes snap open and we are brought back to reality. Nothing much actually...although some of us will haf cold-sweat n shivers...like me when i was young...a the age of 3 i remembered...i woke up sweating more than usual after waking up from a dream of vampires...yea.

So anyway, Dreams are surprisingly useful. Yup. Sometimes we may have a problem and ponder over it for a long preiod of time. Then suddenly in our dreams, a stroke of inspiration appears! I know it sounds far-fetched but it is true. That's how i solved a couple of my maths problems in my secondary and even JC years....and um...it doesn't merely apply to academics. occasionally we might face difficulties and problems in our lives as well. Socially, financially...yada yada...our dreams can sometimes, not always, give us solutions to these problems if we ponder hard enough over it. Try it. Who knows? It might work ;)

Ever heard of old wives' tale that goes something like what you dream of is the opposite of reality? Do you people believe in it? Well...i'll admit i do. There have been a couple of things that I have dreamt of...and only to wake up and find that it's the total n exact opposite. I dreamt that my friend hated me to the core and for the first time i was upset and nearly cried after waking up from the dream. It's juz a dream but it felt real. Nevertheless i realised ltr on that it wasn't true...my friend did not hate me in the least...so..wad do u guys think? Coincidence? Maybe...but 10 times of coincidence? now that's a little too much dun u think? Please feel free to share your thoughts with me on my tagboard =) Oh and of course...the most common aspects of dreams...deja vu...it's very common for me...i've experienced a sense of deja vu nearly all my life...sometimes the feeling doesn't juz come by once...it can come by 2x or 3x...pretty amazing eh? Ah...the wonders of our minds...

So what does our dreams signify?

Well...it all depends on what you dream of...i've got a few examples here....taken from various sites...the acknowledgements are all right at the bottom...

1. Anxiety ~ Your impatience is showing with a desired or feared coming situation, or event that has a measure of suspense.
2. Love ~ it could be a sign of wanting to be accepted by the one you love...or...Loving one's mate - Solely for your pleasure; Loving your ex mate you still want - Helping you to feel better. Loving your ex mate you don't want - Time to over come your negative emotions against them. Loving a friend or stranger when you are happily married - Your romance is getting too routine, time to spice it up a bit.
3. Crying ~ Release of emotion not related to the action in the dream that caused the crying. Regaining emotional balance.
4. Exam ~ Being put on the spot to prove oneself in ability, fidelity, loyalty, truthfulness.
5. Dream within a dream ~ Such a dream presents us with emotions or information we may be avoiding while awake. Usually a dream within a dream is a ploy one uses to explain away the impact of the feelings met - which is all the more reason to understand the dream.

6. Wolf ~ Peaceful: Coexistence with a threatening situation. On the prowl: Warning to be alert for treachery or loss.
7. Dolphin ~ Because dolphins are wild creatures of the sea that actively develop a relationship with humans, they are often taken to represent the contact and relationship we have with the deeply unconscious natural forces within. Such dreams suggest life is not simply operating blindly, but reaches out to us if we reach out to it.
8. Snake ~ An recurring issue that has not been resolved yet. Can involve treachery or sense of betrayal.
9. Cat ~ It represents your need to care for someone or be cared for, to have close physical contact. For some people a cat is a substitute baby, it can therefore depict the strong maternal feelings and desires. Or a male cat can represent male sex drive.
The term 'catty' refers to a spiteful woman. So if the cat in your dream is angry it might depict yourself if female, or feelings about a female friend.
10. Fox ~ A situation or personality that requires caution because of possible trickery, deceit.

Dead tired

2007-11-22T23:52:00.000+08:00

Let's see...today's tuition was by far the BEST lesson that i've ever had...ironically it's also the last...considering there's no lesson in the December month. I guess that my teacher realised that i'm one of his weakest students...so...he put me n another of his weaker students together on the same table...AND he gave us questions that were of lower standards as compared to the rest of the class. I guess i was a little relieved that i wasn't the only one having problems...i really felt like a burden had been lifted off me...oh and yes...i could finally grasp the basic concept of the topic that we were doing. However...i should not be complacent because it's only the beginning..

After lesson, i played fooseball! Well...it nearly ended in a tie...until the last part where my opponent's mother came and gave him such a shock the ball went in and we won. gee whiz...wad a quirky way to win i admit...-_-"

That was about it...for the rest of the day...i stoned...

Full-day choir

2007-11-15T13:57:00.000+08:00

Hmm...yesterday I had a whole day's worth of choir practice...I'll admit...it's one of the most fun practices which i have ever had with SAChorale. It started out horribly though...the weather was cold and wet...i juz wanna' snuggle in my nice warm n toasty bed...but er...well...if i do...i'll get into huge trouble...so ah well...drag myself out of bed...n i fell asleep in school while waiting for someone to open the Cultural Centre (well yea...tat's wad we call our auditorium) OMG!!!
Anywayz once we entered the CC, some of our fellow choir members were already there n they were complaining abt the heat because the air-conditioner wasn't turned on. I was quite contend with the temperature but decided to shut up. Started off the day with our usual warm-ups/stretches...warmed up with Duerme...then sang Laudate Dominum when our conductor arrived. After that, we broke for lunch!

Following lunch break, we did Beauty and the Beast Medley!! Now THAT'S when all the fun started...when we sang Be Our Guest...our conductor starts laughing at every french word we sing because apparently we sound reali weird...let's see.. the first time we saw the word "oui" which means "yes' in French...it was correctly pronounced as WEE but some ppl sang OI! I burst out laughing!! But we did enjoy singing the song in the end...learnt up the rest of the pieces...Belle...Something There...Gaston and The Mob Song...Gaston was a retarded song...tat's all i can say abt it...We all enjoyed singing The Mob Song...the part whereby the villagers were led by Gaston to kill the beast....*thinks for a moment* yea! there was a part where us Sops and Altos, basically the girls, had 2 describe the beast in a sing-song way...n er...well...it came out in such a way that the conductor told us it's as if we were describing a teddy bear...*so cyuute* we laughed. Mmm...when we FINALLY reached Beauty and the Beast...we were reali glad...the main theme of the song...we sang our hearts out...hehe....n tat was it...for the medley...

Oh...for Babarann...erm...we made some funny mistakes. For one, i admit, i nearly turned around at the wrong time...n next some choir members started a part of the choreo a little too early...but it was reali fun!! =)

Tat was it...an entire day's worth of choir practice!! YIPPEE!! Now wait for open house...*snigger*

MATH REMEDIAL BOOT CAMP!

2007-11-14T23:14:00.000+08:00

MATH REMEDIAL BOOT CAMP! OH MY GOODNESS! 7 hours straight of Math...can u beat that?! Well...of course there was lunch break or else we'd all haf starved! Gathered in the LT at first...before we were split into groups according to our grades. INtitially there were 4 groups but the teachers decided to combine some of the groups together...why? Let's see..about half of them did not turn up...Apparently i was asked to take attendace for the WHOLE cohort...n i realised that wow...about half of them were absent...how sweet...the poor teachers...they worked so hard to organise the remedial camp and half of them did not turn up. Anywayz...the story gets better...abt half my class ran off during lunch break...n never did come back

Well...we went through Functions before lunch...and Graphing Techniques after lunch. Oh man...i was falling asleep after lunch break...for some reason i always feel sleepy after lunch for abt an hour or so before waking up again. By 2pm, i was already brain dead...n lesson was till 4:30pm...YIKES!! When lesson was over, I was sooo glad i could finally run home and take a snooze...-_-"

Dont mention abt the second day...it was even worst...there were even less people who turned up...!! But thanfully it was only up till 2 plus...unlike the previous day where it was till 4:30pm...n i nearly fell asleep in class...man! But the 2nd day was worst...cos i was still kind of drained out from the previous day so...i kinda' had my head on the table...n my tutor came from behind n gave me a little squeeze on the top of my back...which i immediately jerked up from...
We did Differentiation for the first half and Trigo for the 2nd half...Trigo was a topic which we already went through...but because it was a touch-and-go topic...er...i think some of us din reali get it...so she went through in detail...oh one more thing...i found out that the OTHER teacher...Mr. Toh...had the same surname as my secondary school assistant conductor: Terrence Toh...

no title...hehe

2007-11-11T00:47:00.000+08:00

Well...went for choir practice at my college again...in the morning...yeap! I missed choir practice...my friends, the songs we learnt...yup! All the good ol' times. We learnt a new song 2day...erm...kinda' forgot the title...ran through Laudate Domino...one of our SYF pieces for this year...oh yes! We learnt one new Medley today...it's a famous Disney Classical...BEAUTY AND THE BEAST! HAHAHA! Ok...anywayz i reali envied the Sopranos cause they all got the melody lines as usual...-_-" we Altos were stuck with singing the accompliment...hehe i'm not complaining...nice to sing sth different once in awhile i guess.

Slept the ENTIRE afternoon after reading my book because i was exhausted...from this morning's physical training before choir. We ran 5/6 rounds around the basketball court...played running games...thank goodness i din reali haf to run much...*snigger*

Ran into my cousin during dinner at our usual hangout Suntec City Guildhouse...we played Pool...n for some reason i kept hitting the white ball into the hole...which was pretty annoying as i gave the next person LOTS of set-ups...no fair...i was thinking...whoever who is after me is darn lucky...I lost the game in the end...came in 3rd amongst the 3 of us...me, my cousin n my brother...following that we went WINDOW SHOPPING!! Actually it was juz walking with LOTS of talking...hmm...went to Gelate and ate waffles with ice-cream...yummy yum yum!!! XD
Then went home n slacked/stoned in front of the labtop...which i am still doing...XD

Marriage/Divorce...er...

2007-11-06T01:01:00.000+08:00

I must be crazy to blog about this...considering i'm a mere 17-year-old (well 16 actually...but turning 17 on 27th December *hint hint*) Anywayz back to the point...yea...as i was saying...i'm too young to blog abt this when i have absoloutely no experience on this... but after looking through a particular joke book...i was reali on these two issues...

Ok first...Marriage...wad is it? Some ppl say Marriage is the most impt day of anybody's life because that is when you officially say goodbye to your carefree, singlehood life and hello to sharing your life with someone for eternity.

What i find amusing and intriging is that when couples get married, their vow almost always includes: Till Death Do Us Part...and what happens? They file for divorce before wrinkles even start appearing on their faces! Couples do quarrel for the most trivial reasons i feel...like the way they should raise their kids (my parents are classic examples...one wants us 2 be independent kudos to that one the other showers us with PLENTY of love...in a weird way...) , or when suspicions of the other party having an outside affair takes over(happened to mua friends but i shan't say any names...DUH!)
It could also be when neither wants to give in, one party is too stressed out by the other party...yea..plenty of reasons...of course the MOST common reason is...*drum roll* Adultery...yeap! Well...since you've already vowed to be together with your partner for life...through thick n thin, pain, sickness blah blah blah...i'm not gonna' list the entire things out...why let a third party interfere? I mean...if there's anything u're unhappy with the other party, sit down n talk it out! It is during this period of uncertatinty between couples that third parties normally find it best to...erm...how should i put it...attack! THe result? Let's see...probably lots of hysterical screaming and threats of divorce coming out...yeap!

I read this in a joke book:

What happens after couples get married?
First year: The man talks the woman listens
Seoncd year: The woman talks the man listens
Third Year: Both talk the neighbours listen
Fourth Year: Their lawyers talk the court listens

Well...ok maybe the time period is a little exaggerating...normally the time period isn't this short...but sadly that is the truth...it is what's happening between many couples these days. For a period of time, the wife will listen to what the husband says and rarely talks back...this is the period where the newlyweds are the happiest together...new life fresh start...everything!
HOwever as time goes by, the woman changes...for some reason which i haf no idea why...hey! i'm a 17-year-old i haven't gone through that phase yet so dun ask me! Apparently she becomes more self-opiniated and she talks more while the husband listens more...
Later on, when the husband bottles up too much and explodes, hey presto! we have a huge argument coming our way...and yea...sometimes it gets so rowdy and loud that the neighbours can hear...
Following that...though only in EXTREME cases...they end up in court filing for a divorce fighting for custody of the children, who should get what properties...yea...

*scritch scratch scritch* husbands and wives should definitely treasure the relationships that they share...it's not very often that u come across someone who is willing to share and live their lives with you forever. Come on...do things that both parties enjoy...there must be some common interest right?? TO all the husbands out there, just accompany your wives to go shopping once in awhile it won't hurt! Yea u'll get bored but just bear with it...it'll do your relationship some good...To all the wives out there? do NOT be OVER suspicious of your husbands...it's ok to get jealous once in awhile...spices up the relationship a little actually...but don't go overboard or there's gonna' be a problem...

YEAP! That's it...i guess...forgive me for my inexperience in penning down thoughts on issues...-_-" check back next time!

movie n some crazy fun...

2007-11-05T21:42:00.000+08:00

Today...well... went over to my friend's place to watch a movie...before that...i had to endure a couple of hours watching my brother n my friend playing games on their labtops ...like Gunz...O2Jam...i can't rmb if they played Dota...anywayz i was reali thankful that i brought my book along...n i had a dog to play with...his name's Jackie...or Jacky...geez...sry i dunno how 2 spell...

Anywayz we finally left to borrow a dvd...hmm...decided on the 2nd part of the series of Resident Evil. Then 2 of our friends joined us...at first it was juz me, my brother n my friend will...then another two meg n luke joined us. How nice...(no sarcasm here peeps) Anywayz the movie was pretty interesting...i haf only watched the first of the series...so yea...guess next time i'll borrow the 3rd ...Extinction. Hehe.

Following that, while my bro n will played Gunz on their labtop, the rest of us played Dai Dee. Of course i lost the game...we played fishing which i won...n Cheat(or as meg calls it, Bulls**t)which i lost too...

So where does the crazy fun part come in? Now. Apparently Meg carried me n turned around n around until i became very VERy dizzy. not to mention i was being carried in a horizontal position...like when a groom carries his bride...n erm...she even piggy-backed me...but that wasn't so bad...oh! we tried doin the Ballroom Dancing thingy...n i think i nearly stomped on her foot...a couple of other crazy things happened...but well...i guess this is enough...

Oh! i juz realised...i left my story book back at my friend's place...oh crude...-_-"

BORED!!!!!!!!!

2007-11-04T21:24:00.000+08:00

2day i stoned the entire day...well...almost the entire day...i had Physics tuition in the morning...n i gotta' admit..,my teacher's a little crazy...FUN...but crazy too...well perhaps it's just his style of getting our attention...LOL. Learnt Magnetism...a J2 topic...had homework...decided 2 try it out at home...

But when i came home...i stoned in front of my labtop...watching horror movies...eesh...anything but work...i dotaed for awhile with my two friends...usin my brother's labtop cos my labtop was juz too laggy...anywayz i got totally owned...i reali need to brush up my skills...either that or get a new labtop...because my current one is infected so badly i think it's impossible to clear it...-_-"

Mmm...i drew something 2day though.......hehe...it's juz below...n composed some melodies for fun...

Aren't they cute??

OUTING WIF ME BEST FRIEND!!

2007-11-02T23:45:00.000+08:00

LOLZ 2day i celebrated my best friend's birthday with her for the first time...=) Well...there were 5 of us...n we all met back at our secondary school...which is where we all got to know each other...Me, Meg, Chi Ping, Candice n Marilyn...of course meg, marilyn n i had 2 buy the cake first...so we walked all the way to our secondary school(TKSS)from Parkway Parade...i sooo decided to wear the WRONG pair of shoes cos i had NO idea there'd be sooo much walking...thank goodness i had on some plasters on my feet...if not my feet would have had quite a number of blisters on it...well...part of the skin on my little toe came off but it wasn't that painful so i guess i could live with it. Hmm...next time i shan't wear any shoes other than sports shoes...unless i'm goin out with my parents (cause I know they do not walk at a very fast pace...)

ANywayz we initially wanted to cut the cake on the rooftop of my meg's condo...but it looked like it was going 2 rain...so we had it in a sheltered area instead...oh well...better than nth ;) took some great photos together...one of them included us pretending to bask n enjoy ourselves in the sun...though there wasn't a single ray of sunlight in sight...-_-" after that we took off to Tampines Mall to watch a movie...THE GAME PLAN! Man was that show hilarious...we were laughing non-stop...it was quite sad towards the ending....but the ending was a happy one...thankfully or else i'd haf needed tissue...

At the end of the day...well...all good things come to an end...guess we'll haf another outing another time...for now it is goodbye...but i'd juz like 2 say that it's been really fun having the outing/celebration...=)

Backtracking a little...on thursday when I had 2 return to school for Insights and Reflections (I & R for short). Apparently I found my seat level a little too low...so i decided to adjust it...n pulled the lever...but it went up a little too high...so i tried to sit on it/apply pressure on it to lower the seat. I couldn't do it...cos i was apparently too light...in the end i asked my friend who was sitting next to me to help me...talk about embarrassing...eesh...can't believe it man...i must have broken world record...-_-"

Anywayz that's all for 2day...i'll have to sleep now...really tired...

haizzz

2007-11-01T10:15:00.000+08:00

Currently in school...typing my post AND doin I&R at the same time...yup something like multi-tasking. Had a really bad morning....first i had a headache...then my mum started screaming at me brightly early for various things; asking me wad time i hafta go to school, putting the cordless phone in my bag, askin me wad i am wearing to school...ArgH!! Basically she just drove me crazy...the moment she left the house, i grabbed my pillow and SCREAMED!!!!!!! in fustration...n because of that stupid headache which aggravated things...i was soooo upset i tell u...oh...last night? My mum NEARLY made a spectacle of herself in public. Cos i was eating something n apparently the food i ate had problems travelling down my gullet(oesophagus). Mum gave me a i-told-you-so look n said: i told u to eat slowly right? My wonderful brother replied: no n she kinda' blew up...her voice raised. I immediately told her off n reminded her tat she was in public n not at home...n she said she din care! I was thinking...right....we argued for abit n i gave in...
I'm scared...i'm really scared...i guess i'm no longer the person i used to be...bubbly cheerful...all i want to do now is to coil up n rest...i'm exhausted...

A Lvls: Mother Tongue and PW...

2007-10-31T15:00:00.000+08:00

Mmm...recently i juz had two of my A level papers ... Mother Tongue and PW(Project Work)...Mon was MT...n today was PW...actually to be more specific...it was the Oral Presentation section of my Project Work...

MOTHER TONGUE:
It so wasn't a good day for me...why? Let's see...i kinda' made a grave mistake by bringing my CONFIRMATION SLIP instead of my ENTRY PROOF! Talk about your dumbest mistake...never mind that...my class kinda' wasted half an hour in order to get the seating arrangements right...thanks to the screwed up seating plans n best part? the students were being made to walk around n they were being shuffled all around...it was gettin kinda' irritating to watch them being thrown from one place to another...but oh well who am i to speak? I didn't bring my entry proof...-_-" still...it wasn't totally the fault of the students that time was wasted...so i din get why that teacher from dunno-wad-school scolded the whole grp of us hu din bring the entry proofs as if it was totally our fault...ah well...

anywayz the chinese paper itself...er...let's just say i was trying to find out where in the booklet was i supposed to start on my essay...because the first page stated: 1.1 1.2 1.3...n i believe that essay questions have never been divided into 3 parts...shortly after i found out where exactly i was supposed to write my essay(which was on the 11th page) the invigilator announced which page it was...i was like...erm...a bit late hor?? but never mind better late than never...i reckon...i found the Paper 2 segment a little on the tough side...but still doable...mmm...tat's all for chinese...

PROJECT WORK:
Ah PW...which was today...this morning to be exact...thank goodness my LAST PW grp member turned up...i was worried sick that he would not have turned up. Anywayz...i thought today wasn't as bad as i expected...even though my hands were slightly trembling and believe me I was seriously nervous...i managed to keep my voice calm n steady...*shrugs* Although I thought i was the worst speaker amongst my grp...after all they all had sth funny whilst i did not...cause i really had no idea how 2 incorporate jokes into my section which was on the Development, Importance n Impact of Sanitization. As my teacher mentioned, I had to be serious so there really was no way I could have made it funny...think i screwed up Q n A though...ARGH!!! Oh well...tat's about it though...*yawn* now i need a nap...real tired...-_-"

Oral Presentation

2007-10-27T22:40:00.000+08:00

Oral Presentation...my teacher told me that I have to speak louder...which is kind of ironic actually...since i remembered him saying that those who are unable to project their voices should attend choir practices...n here I am a true choir member being asked to speak louder. My first OP dry run was quite amusing actually...because when i was presenting one of my grp members sneezed and out of sheer habit I turned around and said "bless you". Problem? After I turned back, I momentarily forgot where i presented my part till...thank goodness i found got back on track...
For the second OP...i was audible this time round...though after watching the video...I felt that i swayed too much...my content required a lot of editing...AND last of all i realised tat i sound like a little kid...which kinda' freaked me out...because i had no idea i sounded like that...NOW i know why my friends say i sound younger than i actually am...
I realised one thing...the Oral Presentation component of Project Work can really test the limits of many people. Some of them are getting very stressed out...some on the verge of breaking down...others actually broke down. I guess Kudos to those who are able to withstand the pressure of the Oral Presentation...perhaps they're very fortunate to have supportive group members or they don't care...let's hope it's not the latter..........
Now...I'm rehearsing my newly edited script...i do hope i do not stumble in any ways...if not i'll juz scream once i'm done n have left the exam venue a.k.a. classroom....no chocolates/too much fried food/spicy food for the time being...dun wanna' lost my voice before my presentation...or else i'll just be shooting myself in the foot.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mm...friday...ah yes...it was Thanksgiving chapel...got a second chance to witness the Holy Communion...my first time was in Finland when i performed at a church...it was also a farewell chapel for our Principal...there was a couple of performances..some of them were the combined efforts of a couple of CCAS...however most of them only involved the president and vice-president / chairman and vice-chair...a few exceptions were the SFC(Saints for Christ) the CCA of yours truly...the Choir. We were asked to wear the maroon pullover for the choir members..n i realised tat the fibres got stuck to your uniform afterwards...man did my friends n i haf a fantastic time trying to pull the fibres off...geez...
I only managed to watch the rehearsals for the other items because we were asked to warm-up on the actual day itself...thus we had no time n missed the performances of the other items...sad isn't it? ah well...at least i managed to record some of the items onto my phone...better than nothing...
Guess tat was about it...went home after that n slept...because that morning i had 2 wake up earlier than usual...after all we were performing so we had 2 make our way there early in order to make our preperations...n oh screw...my 'backspace' key has a problem...n my 'n' key as well...fantastic...

Alas...the Report Slip!

2007-10-24T13:56:00.000+08:00

Right...first of all i think i really have to thank my teachers for helping me...because i haf no idea how my rank points could have gone up to 34 points from a mere 30 points. As I was looking through the overall points for the first time...i was a little surprised because i had 32 points when i remembered my points being 30...n it was because my Math became an E instead of an S.
2day, as I looked at my report slip...i saw an E instead of an S which i was supposed to obtain for my Economics...so i guess that kind of explained where the extra 4 points came from...although it was just a conditional promotion for me...i guess i should be glad for being given a second chance...
Although...after reading the comments on my report slip...i was thinking...should i continue with JC? or should i opt out and try another route of studying...like...let's say...Poly? Am I not just not cut out for JC? Should I reali withdraw from JC and experience something else...? I do not know...I guess i'll give myself a chance until my first block test next year. If i still do not make the mark and am unable to catch up, I guess i will just leave.
Thankfully the holidays are here...time to make use of the holiday to study hard...catch up...and also to think about then 3 options which i haf:

1) remain in JC n continue the same course

2) remain in JC but change course(which is impossible unless i get thrown back to J1)

3) Go to Poly and take Mass Communication which I know i haf the aptitude for

Well...in the meantime i guess i'll just concentrate on my Chinese A levels(which is like nxt monday) and my Project Work(which reminds me...gotta' edit my script)
I'm juz afraid that if i go to poly...my aunt/uncle will start their lectures at me...considering all of my cousins so far have gone to Junior Colleges...and to be exact...it's EXCELLENT colleges...Raffles, Temasek, National...one's even in NUS High...the pressure is really great on me...if I quit JC halfway and enter poly...wad will they think of it? Ok it doesn't matter if they think badly of me...but i'm worried for my parents...and to make matters worst i've got one Uncle who seriously does not know how to zip his mouth...and i'm scared that he'll aggravate the situation which is already bad enough...
Haizz...BUT...all these will only happen if I enter poly...on the other hand if i stay on i have no idea if i can keep up and survive or i will just be digging a grave for myself...sighz.......

Desiderata

2007-10-22T00:47:00.000+08:00

Go placidly amid the noise and the haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.

As far as possible, without surrender,
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even to the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons;
they are vexatious to the spirit.

If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain or bitter,
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

Exercise caution in your business affairs,
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals,
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love,
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment,
it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.

Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be.
And whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life,
keep peace in your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

By: Max Ehrmann in the 1920s

Thoughts: Well i feel that this passage has a really deep meaning to it...it tells us about life...n how we should live our lives...basically telling us to be optimistic ..."Be Cheerful" and "Strive to be happy". It's no use being stressed out...brooding over matters that have already happened...we can't change the past...but we can mould our future with our own hands...it tells us how important each and everyone of us are...n that we should cherish the lives given to us. It tells us not to harbour negative feelings and thoughts...instead fill ourselves with positive emotions to overcome the darkness that may overcome us during our periods of depressions...All i have to say is this passage will help calm n bring peace+tranquility to the soul...so happy reading =)

Birthday Surprise...??

2007-10-20T22:30:00.000+08:00

let's see...this morning i had choir practice...apparently we haf a new member...his name is Anson...he looks nice...wonder how his character is like...well i didn't really get to talk to him...guess i'll juz wait until he warms up to all of us...=)

Well...2day my dad told me that we were having dinner at a different place...n my mum told me we were having dinner with our cousins. O..k...i was wondering...what exactly is going on? I found out after the ENTIRE meal was taken...including desert...the food was delicious...i remembered my brother and I were trying to outwit each other's sarcasm...took some great photos with my cousins...after all it had been awhile since we last saw each other...sadly one of my cousin is in Virginia...so she couldn't join us..oh well...i shall tell her all about it online i guess...
As i was saying...after the meal...one of the waitresses brought out a cake. My jaw dropped...not literally of course...and THEN i found out...OH! it' s my grandmother's BIRTHDAY! We took MORE photos...of my grandmother n my uncles doin some weird Superman poses...-_-" even i was stunned.

Guess tonight was really a surprise for me...oh well...i'm tired now...goin 2 sleep...

can't think...

2007-10-19T21:32:00.000+08:00

O..k...i admit...2day's the first time i actually slept during a lecture. Geez...guess i was really tired. There wasn't much...ok...ANY copying to do...it was just listening as the teacher droned on n on n on n on......so finally my head juz nodded n nodded until i fell asleep. I did wake up a few times though...juz to make sure the teacher wasn't staring in my direction...i think she caught me though..juz tat she let me off...hmmmm.....
After an hours worth of econs lecture, i had CHINESE! A levels chinese is coming up so i'm not the least surprised i guess...now our teacher loves using pictures/symbols to represent some of the words. IN the end, my cg had a ball of a time trying to figure out the words...one even commented that it was hard to decipher the codes...which i totally agreed. It was pretty interesting though...if u think abt it when the entire lesson is over..
Well...there's reali nth much 2 say i guess...now i'm still worried abt my promotion...but not as worried as when i first started...=) which is a good thing...i hope...-_-"

Surprise surprise

2007-10-17T18:24:00.000+08:00

Waddya'noe...i got 32 Rank points...not 30 rank points...hmm...slightly better but still have a chance of getting retained...sighz...Oh well...i guess i'll just wait and see...
Weird actually...I thought I had an S for my math...apparently i got an E...geez...wonder wad happened during the churning of the overall results...oh well guess i shall never know...
Anywayz i'm hoping for the best for everyone...especially those who are on borderline cases...

Hmmm...bought a new book...Humour of the Sexes...tells jokes that are related to dating and marriage btwn males and females...pretty hilarious actually if u ask me. It's on sale in SAJC Popular Bookstore...if given a chance i reckon u should read it...=)

Promos Results...sigh

2007-10-16T21:53:00.000+08:00

Let's see...i got S for Econs...overall as well...since i got S as well for my COmmon Test n i wasn't exactly outstanding for my tests...so yea...
GP....i ended up with an overall E...how nice...at least i passed this time round...I got an S for my COmmon Test...geez....hope my CA (i.e. my other tests, essays and compres) can push up my grades a little...although reality probably says: FAT HOPE.

Nothing much actually...juz that now i have 29 or 30 rank points...which means i'm screwed. because my school requires me to get at least 35 points to get promoted...i wish i could get at least a conditional promotion though...oh well...i'll juz go along with what Fate has in store for me...n my friend is right...i am lucky to have supportive people around me n not having to face any queer teachers...=)

Now....I juz want to rest...and calm myself...before anything else...oh yes n concentrate on my A level Chinese plus PW as well...

Class outing!

2007-10-15T22:24:00.000+08:00

Haha. went out wif my cg 2day...after a few hours of persuasion from my mum before she finally let me go! Hmm...i think i know why...she's probably juz worried for me. After all, there has been newspaper articles that children n kids can drown in beaches...so i can understand.
One more thing...mum's kinda' superstitious...and i guess she believes in spirits which might result in bad luck if you encounter one. This is probably why she's worried about me staying up late so she asked me to go back early...didn't matter much...i had 2 attend to something as well anywayz...so there...
The barbeque was fun!! Even though it rained, we remained patient n did some things to entertain ourselves to wait for the rain to stop....which mostly included taking photos, snacking...i sketched some pictures of trees but they didn't turn out reali nice because i was half-asleep...LOL.
THe rain did slow a little after awhile...so i decided to take a walk on the sand and let the waves wash over my feet. The water felt really warm and nice on my feet...a little sandy but who cared? I closed my eyes and merely enjoyed the sensation...and woke up only after i nearly fell down from a strong current...-_-"
When the caterer reached East Coast Park(where we were having our BBQ), we started cooking! WOOHOO! That was when my eyes teared a lot because of the intense smoke. I helped to cook the food...so that's why my eyes were brimming with tears. Oh well...i can't blame anyone...since i volunteered to cook on the wrong side...well...tat's wad i get i guess...no matter...the food was yummy!! N i er...accidentally burnt my friend with the tongs i used to cook the food with...poor chap...i was apologising n felt really bad...someone got hurt because of my own carelessness...later on he took extra precautions n moved my hand(with the tongs) away before he stepped in to help...LOLZZZ...
Hehe. Really wished i could have stayed for the games though...but i had ta' go off...sighz...oh well tat's all i guess...now i better sleep...school starts in 8 hours time.....

outing!

2007-10-13T23:03:00.000+08:00

Went out with my friends n brother 2day...as usual i was the only girl *shrugs* oh well...hu cares... anywayz we went to Marina Square to watch a movie. Initially, we were keen on watching Resident Evil: Extinction but too bad it was NC16 n my brother was only 13 years old...so too bad i guess...we ended up watching Mr Woodcock...which was really hilarious. I shan't be a spoiler...if u would like to know about the show you could either read it up or go book a ticket n watch...=)
I realised mid-way during the show why it was PG...apparently i could hear the F word being used very vividly...n there were plenty of coarse language, i felt.
Before that, we were at my friend's place. Wow. The dog loved all of our legs man...but i think i got the worst off it. I have no idea what Jacky(the dog) was trying to do...it kept jumping on my leg and while it's trying to get a better grip, clawed at my legs...leaving many MANY scratch marks on my poor leg. I was literally wincing in pain throughout. Finally i decided to sit on the chair cross-legged. That helped...for awhile...until Jacky raised itself onto it's hindlegs and placed it's two front paws on the chair. I backed as far away as i could because i seriously did NOT want anymore scratch marks...
*Yawn* and now i'm beat...so i guess i'll go sleep first...havin a bad headache and feeling reali sick...

Depressed...

2007-10-12T21:25:00.000+08:00

OH my goodness...i got back the rest of my results today...except Economics...my Math was an S!! and Physics was a U!!! Sighz...well on the bright side i noe that i could have at least passed my GP...after my friend caculated for me...i realised i need at least 6 points to get a clear-cut promotion...any less and it's conditional promotion for me...

I was nearly in tears when i realised the gravity of the situation...eve though i do have an alternative...which is to go Ngee Ann Poly and do Mass com...similar to my neighbour hu did one year of JC...gave up n ended up in Poly the following year. I know i haf the aptitude for it but i shall only use it as a last resort...if possible i'd rather get promoted with the rest of the class...-_-"

I must say though...i'm really thankful for the friends that i have...who are encouraging me and supporting me all the way through...both physically n spiritually...friends from MJC, Poly...hu pray for me...i'm reali thankful for that...i feel extremely blessed =)

Hmm...i bought a new book today...Dragon Keeper...decided to read it to take my mind off things...or else i'll juz EMO for the rest of the night...haha....yea right...guess i better sleep...2morrow's gonna' be a looong day for me...

ALAS! THE MOMENT OF TRUTH

2007-10-11T20:00:00.000+08:00

U guessed it! I got a couple of my promo results back 2day...there was an improvement shown...although i'm not too sure if it'll help in my promotion...because mostly the improvements r one grade only...unlike my friend hu jumped from a U to a B for his Chem...man do i envy him...o anywayz here r the current results that i've received...

Chem: E ; General Paper: D(for paper 2) ; Chinese: B

Well i guess i'm neutral to my subject grades...i am juz very VERY worried that it is insufficient to pull my grades up...esp adding up my tests and my Common Test(which i totally blew). I get the feeling my grades will be pulled DOWN instead of UP...geez...
Now i'm waiting(anxiously) for my Economics and Physics results...oh...plus my OTHER GP paper...because currently i only know the results for my comprehesion(paper2)...i have no idea wad my compo results are...i heard that the passing rate was quite low though...for General Paper...pretty scary actually.

Well...enough about results...the more i talk about it the more depressed i feel...but i guess i must thank my friend who told said to "Trust in the Lord with all your soul"...n to cheer up even if i hit a hard rock once in awhile...(NOT LITERALLY! if i do hit a hard rock literally i'll break wadeva part of my body that hit it!)

07S07 is puttin up a performance 2morrow...HAHA. I thought my first performance with the choir would be next week which is the end-of-term chapel. I had no idea it would be with my cg...along with my teacher hu will be singing! MAN! TALK ABOUT COOL! I guess i'll go into more detail abt how the performance went 2morrow...n perhaps more on my results...so check back soon!! =)

Tattoos!!! =)

2007-10-10T21:49:00.000+08:00

Yoz! I believe that all of u noe wad a tattoo is right? Even if u never had one on your own skin...you would have at least heard of or seen someone with it right? To be honest...i used to enjoy pasting fake tattoos on myself...especially butterflies...n roses...in fact i still do...except that i draw on myself instead. Well, some people DO find it a little weird or lame...however, i beg to differ.

I myself feel that Tattoos give one a chance to express themselves in an artistic manner as well. Tattoos, like drawing/painting, is an art as well. People get tattoos for various reasons...some may be due to peer pressure, some juz want to stand out from the crowd n be unique, for some it's because of their culture...yes some groups do mark themselves with tattoos....when i say groups i meant tribes and not gangsters, even if they do get tattoos to mark themselves n be able to tell who their 'brothers/sisters' are by the marks on their bodies.

Just like how painters and artistes use paintbrushes and pencils respectively to draw on paper, tattoo artistes replace paper with skin and use ink.

There are fake tattoos and real tattoos. Fake tattoos are mostly the paste-on types...which u can easily remove with alcohol or baby oil...
Real tattoos however, are a total different story. The ink is injected into your body...which means there is no way that the tattoo can be removed...it will stay with you for the rest of your life...it becomes part of you...part of your identity. The only way to remove it is to cut off that patch of your skin...which isnt a painless process...au contraire...it's reali painful...(like DUH)
I was reading the latest issue of Readers Digest (Oct 2007) Brass, a character from the show Miami Ink, gives his advise to those who would like a tattoo...the Dos and Don'ts...

DO have a good idea of what u want to get...exactly!!
DO realise that a tattoo is FOR LIFE!
DO research your art AND your artist before getting tattooed. I believe for the artist part many of you should know why...i mean...if your artist is some Tom, Dick and Harry who juz grabs any needle n pokes into your skin...n u happen to be THAT unlucky because the previous person hu used that needle has some sort of disease...good luck to u man!
The art that u want to get is also important to be reasearched on...because sometimes we may not know it but the logo/picture/design we want is for some kind of cult or the devil in other cultures that we might not have heard of...and also if there happens to be a gang with that design as their mark...yea...so ALWAYS ALWAYS RESEARCH YOUR ART N ARTIST!!

DON'T walk into a tattoo shop on a whim to get inked because you're not going to get the best work you can get. If u want to get inked on impulse, go slap a fake tattoo on yourself man! I think that's a better idea...because the chances of you wanting to change your mind about that design which u wanted on a whim is reali high. With a fake tattoo...u can juz wash it off anytime n get a new one..

Me? Let's see...i would not mind having a fake tattoo on myself...those stick-on kinds...a design that is associated with water...healing...emotions...that is what i want...hehe...although i'll probably get slaughtered first....after all...mum wasn't exactly ecstatic the last time i slapped a tattoo on myself...-_-"

Continous PW...geez...

2007-10-10T21:27:00.000+08:00

AHH! OH my goodness gracious me!! 2day apparently there was a 8-hour straight PW crashcourse for all J1s in SAJC! I was like...r u kidding me? 8 hours straight? I'd die! By the end of the day i was totally braindead...scratch that...by the end of lunch i was already brain dead. My teammates n i were like...trying to squeeze out every last bit of brain juice we had left inside our head to think of something!! YIKES! But well...thankfully there was a break for a light snack (a half an hour one) and lunch( which was an hour). After lunch, i came back n realised tat none of my grp mates were back yet...so i decided to jam a little. (in other words i played O2Jam...teehee...) anywayz when i was playin halfway, i heard my teacher's voice n i jumped. I had a good mind 2 slam shut my labtop but then it was too late...to my surprise though he juz watched me play n even asked me about the game. I was both surprised n relieved.

Anywayz, promo results are out soon...i guess even it's not surprisig that some of us aren't in the mood for PW...since we're all worried abt promo results...but my friend's right...Promo results r 2morrow whereas PW stuff's like next week...? Sighz..i think i should go prepare to get retained...either that or ask for some alternative routes.............oh well...guess i should juz be prepared for the very worst

bored!!

2007-10-09T08:48:00.000+08:00

Yo peeps! i'm currrently in school...yea i'm using their computer...cos i'm reali reali bored!! Argh! i'm stuck here until choir starts at 1:30pm!! oh my goodness...hmmm....maybe i should sleep for awhile...since i'm sooooo tired....sighz.......i think i'm comin down with a cold...i walked in the rain yesterday....even with the umbrella? the wind was so strong it blew the rain right into my face...i was sooooooooooo absoloutely soaking wet...n i kept sneezing after that....best part? i was goin 2 watch a movie in the theatre...oh man i was already drenched n freezing cold...n i was goin into the air-conditioned cinema...how nice...
But the movie was reali worth it...Balls of Fury...LOL. It was reali hilarious...i was laughing so much i had a tummy ache...-_-" I shan't be a spoiler to those hu did not watch...haha...the only thing i can say is that there were quite a bit of retarded n sick parts.
Ok...guess i better go...i'd looove to find some place to sleep......seriously...haha...ok ciao people!

Promos r over!

2007-10-06T16:51:00.000+08:00

Finally! Saint Andrew's Junior College year-1 promos r over! Math was fine...definitely...but my physics...i gave up halfway during the paper n nearly cried!!! AHHH!!! I totally blanked out...

Anywayz...after the paper...because of the fact that we were the last group of people to use the hall...we had to stack up ALL the tables n chairs n bring 'em back to the storeroom. Hehe. My class was lucky though...07S07...because on the day that we were supposed to set up the tables n chairs...we did more than our fair share...so in return we didn't haf 2 clear up. My cg(it's like a class but in JC we call it C.G. a.k.a. Civics Group) I went PL for awhile with 2 of my cgmates...Jeriel n Tham...haha. Played dota...n i kena' owned by Tham...eesh...he saw me n attacked me...i ran for my life but couldn't run away in time...haizzz i'm a total noob man...sheesh!!

Later in the day, I went over to MJC for it's open house. OH MY GOODNESS! I met quite a number of people from my primary school...one even gave me a candle in some sort of container...the container was red in colour n it was translucent...reali beautiful....i ran into my best friend CHI PING! n we hung out for as long we could...haha. (Someone thought she was my sister...LOL) Anywayz there was some kind of mass dance finals...i supported Callisto!! Well...i was supposed to be in Callisto if my appeal to SAJC was unsuccessful n i had remained in MJC...so i was cheering for Callisto!!! They didn't win...but i juz wud like 2 say: EXCELLENT JOB CALLISTO!! WOOHOO!!

Those things happened yesterday. This morning...i had choir practice...for Physical Training...we did something different 2day...instead of making us run around the track...we played running games...one was Husband n Wife...one was Freeze n melt. Mm...to all those hu do not know Freeze n melt...it's ice n water...if u still dunno wad it is...it's a game similar to catching...except that when u're caught u do not become the catcher immediately but u merely stay on the spot n can't run unless another player frees you. The number of lives determines the number of times u are allowed to be caught before u become the catcher.
For Husband and Wife, everyone finds a partner....n then among all the pairs, one of them has to be selected to be the runner n catcher. The runner has to run towards any of the pairs...so if let's say he runs to the pair wif ppl A and B, if he stands nxt to A, B has to run off whereas if he stands nxt to B, A has to run away. N when B/A runs off...he/she cannot run to the pair tat's nxt to the spot where they were originally positioned. I was really 'lucky'...i got the fastest runner...n i was caught...but oh well...i managed to catch the next person in a few minutes so it wasn't TOO bad...
oh...SAChorale...i wud like 2 say 2day was a reali fun choir practice....haha...n i muz say it was fun n innovative of Mr Tay to comes up wif games that helps improve our sense of pulse...haha. Ok...i guess tat's it...ciao!

Promos so far...

2007-10-02T22:14:00.000+08:00

PROMOS! Well well...finally found a bit of time to post sth abt my final term examination papers so far...Let's see...I'll go according to the sequence of my papers...startin from my General paper...

1. General Paper: It wasn't too bad...juz tat a few days after my GP i realised that i could actually add one more point into my essay. I selected a topic that was sth on Technology complicating our lives more than necessary...since i enjoy reading on Technology...the various caterogies n groups...n the applications on our lives...the qn after that was a total giveaway but I realised that i would have a little problem tackling that qn...
Comprehension was all right...as in the questions were not TOO bad...BUT I only fully understood the meaning of the passage 5 minutes after the paper ended...can u beat that? Oh vocab? I screwed it up...totally...

2. Chinese: HELL! I stared at the first 3 questions n i was totally stunned. But the passages that came after that was...manageable...i guess...not much for chinese...accept that my hand was in pain after the paper...because our compo n main paper were 3 hours straight...first hour n a half? compo...remaining time? main paper...i was writin continuously n in the end my hand was shaking after the paper...hehe

3. Chemistry: It was a total massacre!!!! I completely forgot all my Organic Chem reactions...i remembered the reagents n conditions...but i forgot which belonged to which reactions...i totally screwed up the paper man....sighz........n i was so depressed after the paper tat i missed my stop AND nearly got ran over by a concrete-mixer...

4. Economics: Ok this was not too bad a paper...although i din manage to finish it...especially the essay part...case study was all right...but i guess i spent a little too much time on it...opportuinity cost...fellow students hu learn Economics u'd noe wad i'm sayin...

I still have got my Math n Physics paper to go before freedom...well...TEMPORARY freedom i guess....that's all diary. Ciao

WHAT IS LOVE? (Special Edition~~)

2007-09-26T21:12:00.000+08:00

Well peeps...I was juz thinking abt sth...i was thinking about the word "Love" What is love actually? Is it just a feeling? Or is it something more? Is it similar to our other normal senses? Touch? Sight? Hearing? Smell? Taste? or is it slightly different? How does it affect these senses?

Incidentally, Love does actually have an enormous control over our other feelings and actions. Love also does make one do crazy things..Those who have been in love before would or should know...when you love someone...most of the time our other senses are dulled by this.
~Sight: As they say "Love is blind" When u're around with the person u love very much, u will be in oblivion. Someone sittin around you can wave his or her hand and put up neon signs in front of you or do some drastic things...n you will notice nothing else but the person you love.
~Smell? Perhaps you will be more sensitive to the smell of that person? By the way, I'm SO NOT talking about body odour here...it could be the soap or shampoo that person uses...or perfume perhaps...some form of unique smell...
~Hearing? Of course when the person you love talks, you will lose track of most of the other things except what the person you love is saying...well not to the extent that someone has 2 scream at u to get your attention...tat only happens in dramas...someone probably haf to juz give you a hard poke in your ribs.
~Taste? Well...2 possibilities...either everything tastes REALLY scrumptious or everything tastes like old cardboard...It all depends on the individual himself i guess...

For one...Love really does make you do crazy things...to be with the person you love...you can forgo your own interests juz to satisfy the person u love...argue with your parents juz cos they find the person u love detestable...n the worst of it...sacrifice yourself...ok dramas show people sacrificing their lives for the person they love...i have not heard of such things...but if u do noe about something like that...pls feel free to leave a comment...=)

Love is more than a feeling...tat's definitely true...it's more than a mere emotion...Love is something that can influence our thinking, our way of life, our characters...yes...even our characters. Sounds unbelievable? Well...one may be born a reali cheerful, happy-go-lucky person. However, once he/she is in love n realizes that the person they're in love with likes someone else...more often than not they'll become very quiet and reserved. Of course...it will only happen if this happens repeatedly...not juz once.
Likewise, one may come across to be a selfish, ignorant stupid brat...not stupid in a literal sense by the way...but if he /she gets to experience what true love is like...what it is like to be loved...you will see an obvious change in his/her character...Love CAN really change a person...

Love does not necessarily revolve around juz boyfriend-girlfriend love kind of thing...there's also sibling love, family love...the bonds we share with them...there's also something called PUPPY LOVE which is REALLY common among teenagers...believe me...i've seen lots of puppy love relationship...get together...a few months later...break up...yikes...where's the committment man?!?! Love can mean caring for the person as well...

So what is love? Well...what i've juz typed out doesn't necessarily gives you what love is all about...anywayz...tat's all for 2day people...i need to go...mugging time for Promos! Haha. CYA!!

another retarded week...?

2007-09-20T22:25:00.000+08:00

Dear diary..this week...something reali weird happened on earth...geez..

B for some reason treated A like A was totally invisible...sheesh!! OH man...wad's B's problem dude? Poor A is havin a test 2morrow...n she's slugging her head off...but she's quite distracted by wad DEAR B did....in fact A looked like she was gonna' blow but thankfully she kept her control. If not i think B wud haf been dead in a few seconds flat...
Sighz...A was quite unhappy...but she put up a strong front n pretended not to notice anything...lookin at B talkin to others n totally ignoring her..if only A could pull herself together...n pray, hope for the best
All through the day A had 2 act like everything was normal...talkin to others like her usual bubbly n natural self...even though deep within her heart she was super disappointed man...after an entire day of school, A walked home...even though she felt like giving a smile to B n sayin goodbye n acted like everything was hunky dory...she couldn't bring herself to do it...
That night...her nice friend Jerold juz told her to not worry abt anything...juz pray n hope...how sweet...A feels marginally more cheerful now..how nice......it looks like she's all geared up for a brand new day now...hoping it wud be much better........

*Next day*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Diary, nxt day? well...this time everything was back to normal...except that A still felt some anger towards B for wad he did to her the previous day...at first A was merely glad n relieved that B was talkin to her again...however as the day wore on...her anger came flooding back...when left alone with him...A walked on reali quick...even though B asked her to slow down, she merely gave him an ice-cold stare n continued on her way. But geez...as we all know...A has never been able to keep her anger at someone for long...by the end of the math lesson she was all back to normal...well...almost...at least this time round she does say goodbye to B n initiates convos with him........guess things r back to normal again Diary...shall keep u updated =) SOON!! i hope...-_-"

Apologies...

2007-08-14T21:52:00.000+08:00

Peeps...i'm SOOOOO sorry for the reali reali REALLY late update of my blog. Up to date...well...ok...here's wad's been happening...

Quite awhile back, my school organised a festival...and it goes by the name of Learning Festival. B4 goin any further, lemme tell u a little sth about it...though i think u can already guess. Yup! It's learning. THing is...we dun learn things that we normally learn in classrooms where all the Science n Arts subjects pop up...instead...we learn non-academic stuff...from Manga drawing to Salsa, Volleyball, Hip-hop...yea! It was carried over 2 days...cool huh...so anywayz...

First day: I attended Hip hop n Rock climbing. Man oh man...for rock climbling i climbed till my fingers nearly broke off...n my entire hand shook after that...=P I tried a couple of times...but none of them brought me anywhere near the top...oh well...thank goodness i could still play my piano though..*giggles*
Ooh...after Rock climbing? I attended HIP HOP! Oh yea! Haha. Hip hop was fun! The moves were a lil on the tough side...(esp the part where we hafta remember the moves...oh n up till now? i still can't do the Body Roll...crap!!) Anywayz...we were split into groups n each grp had 2 perform for the rest. For my group, we forgot our moves halfway n we merely improvised all the way through...LOL!!! The rest of them seemed to enjoy it though...as they cheered and laughed at the same time

2nd day: I went for Protect Yourself...yup! We were taught defensive skills...apparently i haf reali weak arms...so yea...when he asked us to punch some kind of cushiony pad...my punch barely made a sound....n for the part where we hafta pair up n practice some moves on each other? My poor partner was so afraid that she might hurt me...cos i AM super skinny n look REALLY fragile after all...hehe...anywayz...she finally got convinced after awhile...n yea...things went on...
OOh...we had VOlleyball after that! I totally blew it...i couldn't even serve the ball properly...n guess wad? I sprained my arm...AHHH!!! THE PAIN!!! *sigh* but it's healed now...thankfully! Oh..i sprained my arm along with my wrist...on my right side...n guess wad? A few months back i sprained the same wrist! Geez....talk about yer' unwanted coincidence...ouchie!!

Hmm...College day!!! YIPPEE! College day college day! We had the AMAZING RACE!!! I can't remember when exactly we had it...but i think it was before Learning Festival...for Amazing race, we were supposed 2 collect items n had 2 complete some tasks around the sch...both inside n OUTSIDE the school...the first task that we did was...blow the ping-pong ball through a given path...we succeeded...after a few FABULOUS n CREATIVE ideas from our class...
Ooh...we took a few photos as well...cos it was part of our tasks...basically it was really fun. We even had a stopover at KFC for lunch n didn't want to leave the outlet...>_>hehe.

Okk...tat was about all tat happened so far...will update my blog the next time i'm free...kkz?? BYEBYE PEEPS! *muacks*

07S07 u rawk my world!!!

Diff events diff happenings...

2007-07-12T08:04:00.000+08:00

Ok...latest update for my common test result: I scraped an S for my Chemistry Paper...which is STILL a fail...but at least it's not a U...whew...I was thinking....ok...i was expecting my Chemistry paper to haf a worst grade than my Physics Grade...
When i was lookin' through my paper...i realised that there were a couple of 'Good Tries' on it...n there this question...i was supposed to merely describe SOME parts of the graphs...but I described like nearly the entire graph?! What the-?! I was virtually wasting my time man...could have gotten more marks...cause i knew how 2 do the last question...i am SOOOOOO dumb.........
That's all for Common test so far...anywayz 2day i had Chinese lesson...n guess how many people turned up? 9...out of? I dunno...20+ peeps?? How nice...we broke the record...Back in TPJC for PAE period...my cg mates enjoyed skipping lessons...esp. lectures...but not so for tutorials as attendance is marked...However, i remembered one particular person. He was virtually telling every teacher that taught us that he wasn't going to turn up for lessons on friday. The teachers all thought that he was juz joking....n guess wad? On friday he really disappeared...i was like...on the bright side...he did not lie.
OH YES! For my A lvl mother tongue oral? It was quite easy...thank goodness...but the questions asked were a little on the tough side...cos i was trying to translate my english thoughts into chinese phrases...OH MY GOODNESS!! I did it...with a little aid from the teachers themselves...which is NOT a good thing i feel.
That's all the latest happenings in my life so far...kinda' boring isn't it?? Oh well...oh wait...there's one more thing...those of u hu play Audition n O2Jam wud get the joke...
I borrowed my brother's computer to play O2jam...n my brother said ok n he sat n watched. After awhile, he told me: Je...we're not playing Audition..." i was like...yes i noe...y r u tellin me? Then when the game started i realised y he said that. My fingers were on the arrow keys n space bar instead of the configured keys...i was like...OMG! Thanks to that i had 6 misses...i was ready to kill myself! Haha.

Now that IS all for 2day...yeap! Will update my blog another day......in the meantime bye peeps! *muacks*

FREEZING COLD

2007-07-07T23:03:00.000+08:00

OMG! 2day was a really cold morning. IT WAS RAINING!! *sigh* I dread rainy days...ok...maybe it's perfect to sleep in...but definitely not the least perfect to wake up n drag yourself off to school! Anywayz i had 2 wake up...for choir practice...so i dragged myself out of bed when my mother told me it was 7:45am...choir started at 8:45...
I was thinking...raining? How are we going 2 do Physical training in this kind of weather? I muz say the choir members are pretty creative...we ended up running in the AVA which was our venue for choir. Push-ups, Jumping Jacks, crunches were some other things we did on stage...my tail bone hurt after that.
Anywayz...for 2day's practice...we went through the usual...College Hymn, Crown Him With Many Crowns, An Irish Blessing n Now We Thank our Lord...or sth along that line...-_-" lousy short term memory...Oh! we learnt a song which helped us rmb songs better...how? Doing choreo...it was kinda' cute...reminds me of those songs that i used to sing when i was still in grade school a.k.a. Kindergarten....=P
Slept the entire day...cos i was too tired n had 2 make-up for lost sleep during the weekdays...which accumulated to about 6 hours or so.............hehe....

THe day before that...it was...COLLEGE DAY!! Haha. We went for the Amazing Race!! LOL. For starters...we had 2 blow a pingpong ball from one end of a trail made using tables to the other end with a couple of obstacles. The entire cg(or at least those hu were there cos there were quite a few hu din turn up)each had a go. We FINALLY did it...n tat was like after...gee...i don't noe...i lost track...i guess...=P Later, we had 2 go out of sch to find a few items n take a few photos...it was reali cool n fun! We even got to climb up the spider web n took a group photo! Though I had a little problem coming back down cos someone was jumping on the ropes...n i was about to lose my footing at any moment. ANywayz...we hung out at KFC for awhile, had lunch, n grabbed a bite before goin back to school.
While we were waiting for the amazing race result to be announced, the House Council entertained us with a couple of jokes. There was one joke which was so cold my cg mate laughed in such a manner that everyone stared at him...or at least those from my cg. LOL. We din win...but no matter...we all had LOADS of FUN FUN FUN! N that's the most impt thing...
ONe more thing...we got back our math paper...as expected...i failed n got a U...the worst grade...*sigh* oh well...guess i juz hafta work doubly hard for my promos...cos i reali do not want to get retained.....................

OK tat's about it for my weekend...bye guys! Cya in my nxt post *muacks*

AHHH! I'm in trouble

2007-07-05T21:16:00.000+08:00

Ok...2day i got back my Physics test. I nearly cried! I was totally banking on my physics cos it was supposed 2 be my best subject...n guess wad? I FAILED! N it's NOT botherline fail...it's a FAIL n i got a U (UNGRADED!!) =( I was like...ok...my supposedly only hopeful subject got a U...so wad happens to my other subjects? I can gurantee my Maths is a U...n my chemistry as well...if i dun get a U for either of these i'll laugh...seriously! Cos i think it's a huge joke...maybe not juz laugh...but cry as well...not tears of joy by the way. The only subject that i managed to pass so far is Chinese...sighz...i'm sooooooo sad...........n stressed...i'm reali worried...wad if i can't get promoted? I'm dead then...i dun wanna' get retained...i reali dun wanna'....

BOOORING Youth day..._

2007-07-02T22:28:00.000+08:00

2day's one of the most boring youth day i've ever had...only interesting thing? I went out for lunch...buffet lunch with my mum n bro...other than that...i was stuck at home doing my essay...i noe it's supposed 2 haf been homework over the holidays...n it'll juz be an excuse if i said that oh cos i've got a choir trip in finland and i've got Common Tests comin up! Yea...i've been through it a gazillion times to noe that these r juz mere excuses...call me dumb or anything...*sigh* n i've got SOOOOOO much to catch up on...not to mention dying of nervous wreck...i'm gettin my results back soon...think i'm screwed. Surprisingly, I'm more worried about whether i understand my mistakes than my results. I think i'm not human...either that or i need a break...it was supposed to be enjoy enjoy enjoy...but no...got hw...sighz...........so? i decided to pour out all of my 'sorrows' into this blog of mine instead of drinking alcohol. Hey! Not in Singapore of course...i'm underaged. However, in Italy, u juz need yer parents' permission to drink alcohol. We joked about it n said: Wow! Whatever that's PG in Italy is M18 in Singapore! How nice!
I finally printed out the lyrics for a few new songs i've learnt n the music score for Elfen Lied Lilium...the Music Box edition...i think it sounds nicer...
OK ppl! I've got to get back to work! CIAO!!! *muacks*

Bad Day...

2007-06-30T18:29:00.000+08:00

Ppl...2day's juz not my day...why ok...i'll tell u...

1st: I opened my thumbdrive files n realise that all my programmes are deleted. How nice! NOT. If it's some pictures/music loaded from the internet i will not give a care...however it's my Project Work files! N it's essential...deadly essential...cos if i lose it...not only will i get into trouble...but my group as well! I was so panicky i cried

2nd: When my dad came home, i immediately confronted him about my files...considering he used it...i thought it was my brother at first...but then i realised none of the files were his...instead all of them belonged to my dad...wad the heck! I can't rmb if he apologised...cos i was so upset i nearly went hysterical...i started crying and my mum started askin qns...n she defended me when my dad shouted at me. He then told her to shut up! I was SOOOO furious i told him to go away n in a screechy voice cos i was already screaming...he even had the nerve to say the thumbdrive was his! It was mine n I lent it to him...without a single bit of hesitation...n this was how he repaid me...not to mention he screamed at me!! I was sooo sad....i got my mum into this...it's not her fault...it was btwn me n my dad...n my mum got involved cos she tried to protect me...i was half-apologising n sobbing at the same time...(u could say it's fresh from a drama scene)

3rd: My dad stomped out off the house but before that he told us not to use the computer...i was ready to shout...how could he act like that? It's his fault! Like i'd believe that my thumbdrive spoilt...if it was reali spoilt...why was it that all HIS files r okay but my brother's files n mine were gone? I was so upset, disappointed, furious...that i kept crying n crying n crying...

However...luckily i met my friend online...i shared my problems with him. He's nice...he comforted me n not to worry so much...givin me advice n stuff like that...guess it wasn't so bad after all...i mean...having a friend to share my problems with...
That's all from me 2day...shall cya peeps soon!! BYE *muacks*

> True blue friends will always be there for you when you need them...

> 1st Day (Monday) 25th June: I had my General Paper 2day...one essay one comprehension. For the Essay...i wrote about Compassion...went fairly well...i think. However, comprehension was MUCH tougher...in fact most of us had blanks on the paper cause we really had no idea how to answer the questions
> 2nd Day (Tuesday) 26th June: I had my Chinese Paper 2day...one listening comprehension n one main paper. There were LOTS ot echoes for the Listening Compre...i was like...o...k...concentrate esme! For the main paper...i was reali reali shocked when i saw that there was a third comprehension passage...it kinda' freaked me out...but i managed it...
> 3rd Day (Wednesday) 27th June: I had my Chemistry Paper...think i screwed it up. Man...i was sooooo lack of time! Wish i had written much much much much much much much faster...*sigh* i knew all my basic facts though...thank goodness
> 4th Day (Thursday) 28th June: Physics Paper was 2day...slightly better than Chemistry...had a clear mind...managed to do most of the questions...not much 2 talk about actually...
> 5th Day (Friday) 29th June! 2day!!! I had my last paper...Mathematics...i totally completely blew the test...for every qn i had at least one part which i had no idea how 2 solve...i was ready to cry on the spot...seriously...but it was the last paper...so after that i was so relieved i ran off to meet my friend...well that's another story...=P

Finland Trip (Part 2)

2007-06-29T22:16:00.000+08:00

Aiye! Ok...2nd part of Finland trip!! Let's see...i'll juz summarise wad happened...

~Firstly, i got a reali reali bad throat...tell u i was coughing like crazy...thank goodness it din affect my singing though...juz a little. My range was slightly limited because of the endless phlegm in my throat. Juz 4 yer info, i nv cough out the phlegm...i swallow it back. My aunt says that's cute! N i was like...right...that is the main cause of why my throat takes a longer time to heal than others...i dun cough the germs out but i swallow them back in...
~We sang at the Hospital...can't rmb the name...it was reali sth new for me...i've sang at concerts before...but not at a Hospital. It was different singing outdoors...we had 2 create a larger sound...because there weren't any echos and we wud sound very dispersed. It was rewarding to hear the claps from the senior folks...we shook hands with them and even gave them some souveniers...actually it was a keychain but hey! It's the thought that counts =)
~Because i had 2 conserve my voice...i couldn't talk so I resorted to using my handphone as a form of communication. The first time i did that in front of my teacher, he was like: dun tell me u're gonna' use that to communicate!" i merely smiled n he went: oh no!" I giggled. I was reali thankful for my concerned friends...Benny, Eli, Pei pei n Sammy! This Finland trip has reali bonded all of us 2gether...well maybe not all of us...my friend said she could understand my pain cause i talk a lot...n for a person like me...losing her voice is no joke... =P
~ Of course...the last day we sang at a Church Mass...that was an unforgettable moment...well ok partly cause my nose started bleeding halfway n i was trying to stem the bleeding. Sheesh! We sang 4 songs...with the last one being our most favourite of course...btw we sang that song at the Hospital as well. Everyone enjoyed it...we shook hands with the Priest n received blessings personally from him, which i found a privilege to experience. There was this lady, i remembered, who was close to crying. Her father had moved on to the Other Side juz the day b4 we sang at the Church...she commented our voices were like angels singing in the sky...I was so moved i nearly cried myself.
~I thought that was the last of it. However...something stupid happened in the plane...my head got knocked by the food trolley...think there was internal injury cos i had a reali bad headache. I couldn't tell u how glad i was when i found my mum waitin for me at the airport for the first time. N juz 2 think that before the trip i was chasing her away...now i was jumping for joy when i saw her...haha

Yeap! THat's about it for Finland...there were many minor events...like funny times i shared with my friends...gossiping in the toilet...the experience was truly enjoyable and once-in-a-lifetime. I'm reali glad i went to Finland...in the meantime...ciao!

Finland Trip

2007-06-13T19:01:00.000+08:00

Trip to Finland was a wonderful experience for me! on this trip. Before anyDEFINITELY! HAHA =) It was a choir trip organised by my school choir ...Saint Andrews Junior College choir (We're also known as Saints Chorale)Well...i remembered a couple of things that happened to me thing I would like to share my thoughts about this trip.

~* First day: We touched down in Helsinki before taking a transit domestic flight to Amsterdam. We did a little light shopping at the airport n i reaslied sth. It was 5am n the sun was HIGH UP IN THE SKY!!! I was like...what the-?! But after remembering that it was summer...i was a little more composed...we took photos of various shops...photos of ourselves...haha. It was the first day n sth funny had oredi happened...*snigger* Pei pei....haha...oh...if u noe hu/wad i'm talkin about then gd 4 u! Haha. Anywayz...we took more photos n checked in2 our hotel...went for dinner at a Burger restaurant...n 4 some reason we decided taking a short cut...then we ran into...? SKINHEADS...sth like their version of AHbengs...n they 'kachao' us...oh man we were terrified. But all went well in the end...we snapped a few fabulous shots of the sunset and made it back safe and sound. =)

~* 2nd day: THEME PARK!!!! We went to the Adventure Theme park that day. It was super fun! Went on roller-coaster rides...visited the dolphinarium, watched a dolphin show, aquarium, planetarium, n even went on the observation tower which was REALLY REALLY high. OUr ears popped as we took the lift. How nice. It was oso the first time in my life that i took a roller-coaster ride that went upside down. I was like...OH! SKY! n the next thing i knew i was heading straight for the ground. I screamed like i never screamed before...well...ok other than the time i went for another roller-coaster ride. It was so fun! Lunch was delicious. My teacher was worried that i din eat much. I was like...when u came i was already more than halfway through my plate...but i kept mum. Haha. Then i kinda' forgot where we had dinner though...think it was free n easy...yea...takeaway...n we went back to the hotel for some studying before sleeping. Haha.

~* 3rd day: Let's see...we went to the Moomin Museum today!! Of course we had morning practice first as usual. Moomin was this cute character that reminded me of a hippo...haha. We visited the museum and it told the story of Moomin. I'll be honest...i had loads of problems following the story but managed to get the gizz of it. EVENTUALLY. Haha. After that...we did some light shopping at the souvenier shop...ok...maybe not that light...haha. =D Then, it was lunch on boat cruise. I was feelin a little sick so i din reali eat...my teacher however made sure i ate something...at first i was reluctant....but i ate sth in the end. Hm,...muz rmb to thank her for taking care of me...haha. The view was great, though i was scared to go out for fear i wud get sea-sick like the last time i went to italy...haha. Thank goodness the cruise ship was huge n it wasn't too bad...my friends oso took care of me when i wasn't feelin well...so yea...it wasn't that bad after all...=) By the end of the day i was feelin much better n i begun eatin like my usual self again. Even my teacher was glad n relieved. Hahaaa. Well of course we attended a concert on that day...AND for their encore piece...i was shocked. It was none other than Kiss from a rose. I was thinking...OH MY GOSH!!! I know this song!!! Well it looked like i wasn't the only one...it reminded me of my friend hu always sang that song...*giggles* until i was sick of it. But since i haven heard it for a looong time...well...it was kinda' refreshing. That was about it ppl...so yea...haha...*yawn* i'll type the rest another time...i need a break...=P

SYF n Concert...=)

2007-05-13T16:32:00.000+08:00

Well...i guess to start of my blog...i shall go chitty chat about some recent events my choir participated in! Yeah...there're are 2 major events...Concert, Viva Vox II(which means living voices) and SYF. This post is gonna' be my feelings about both evevnts...what should i start with...ok! Concert shall be first!

(1) Concert...well...all right...it was kinda' unnerving for me...even though i've performed quite a number of times with my secondary school choir...still...it's like wif a whole new grp of people...plus the fact i never stood in the front row...not even once!! In my sec sch, i was always 2nd/3rd Row...n it's suddenly POP i'm in the first row...Learning songs...it also felt a lil weird...i used 2 be a soprano...n now i'm an alto...so basically it's harder for me to get my notes...n i was trying to adapt during rehearsals...practices...sectionals...yea...

But thanks to my wonderful sectional leader, Yvonne...n the guidance of my conductor, n the support of my friends, well...I managed to pull through...for rehearsals at least. The day of the concert though, it was a totally different story. B4 the concert, i muz admit...we weren't exactly wad we call 'ready'...n the song we started wif totally threw us off...it was a fast-paced song...n with the already hightened tension...the song din exactly help us out...However, we managed to calm down n did all right for the rest of the songs...EXCEPT for one...Kyrie...now that one? Well...if u were there n u haf sharp ears...u wud understand...2nd half was much better! We were all focused n calm...that was when we truly enjoyed the songs n communicated wif the audience...esp. Festival Gloria...n perhaps our encore piece...Te Quiero (I adore You) teehee...

From then on, after a short debrief, i looked for my friends...plus my younger brother...n we all did some short intro to my choir friends...(one even approached the conductor...talk about brave!) and went out for supper! That was all for concert...i guess..........now...onto SYF...

(2) SYF! We got a silver...well...it wasn't the best....but u gotta' admit...we did our best...even our conductor said so...that definitely lifted our spirits. For SYF...well...we were definitely much more focused and ready...n we enjoyed our songs...ok...maybe to be honest...i din reali enjoy Song Without Words 2...but nevertheless...we all did our best to sing it...Laudate Domino and Luk Luk Lumbu...i enjoyed both songs...n for Luk Luk, i definitely enjoyed the choreographed moves! Even for the altos, the melody wasn't so bad....yeap! Though i remembered i had ta' re-learn all 3 songs cos i thought i was sop...n apparently i was an ALto....so well...hurry hurry hurry!!! Haha. I pulled through! YEAH!! For SOng without words 2, even though i learnt it back in TP, it was no use cos i becamse an alto in SA Chorale n back in TP? I was a Sop...

I met my ex-conductor, Nelson Kwei, chatted wif him for a bit, talked to my ex-schoolmates from Tanjong Katong Secondary School, n my ex-choir mates from TPJC! Anyway when we got our results...well...we realised what our senior had been trying to tell us that morning...be happy wif wad u get...it doesn't matter...cos as long as we haf done our best...it reali doesn't matter wad the results are...as long as we enjoy ourselves n do our best...now i noe wad they meant...n i whole-heartedly agree with them...i've got one thing to say though...SA CHORALE! YOU GUYS ROCK MY SOCKS!!! i noe it's cliche...but...well...haha
