AOH '09

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 @_@

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

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

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!

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"

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!

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!
