S HOUSE IN MY HEART. <3 <3

2009-06-24T00:01:00.002+08:00

it's not gonna be an easy summer.

2008-10-17T23:40:00.006+08:00

i thought i shld just do a quick and short update. haha. i know this has been stagnant for the longest time possible. but i have been really busy, lazy, and i didnt see much point in updating. so yea.

in any case. i'm twenty now! though i wish to think i'm twenTEEN. :) life is pretty much the same even though im a year (and one day) older now. so no big difference in being twenty. except well, the age thing. 20 seems like a huge number. and very soon, i'd be 30. then 40. okay. shall not think too far off. haha.

so anyway. my birthday was a nice one :) i had school, but the favourite sihums surprised me with a cake during lunch! they're really such great friends to have. awww. and like beryl who specially came down cos she had no school at all. ilovethesihums. so we had a nice lunch tgt and as usual, random talks and lots of laughter. on top of the pleasant surprise from the sihums, very thankful also for the many people who remembered and wished me via sms, in person, or on facebook (the wonders of technology). and and! for dearest jiahui and abra for calling :) and of course, for my family too! for just being the bestest family anyone can ask for :)

i cant possibly name every single person who wished me and made my turning twenty such a great one, but just know that i love you guys all. i really appreciate your wishes, and for just being my friends :D

most importantly, i want to thank God for twenty wonderful years that He has so graciously given to me. He indeed has shown that He is faithful and will never fail me. it is my prayer that as He continues to bless me with life, i will live my life for Him, and be used by Him in many ways to fulfill His will :) also, im very thankful for the many blessings He has showered upon me, and they include all the people (whether or not i mentioned their names above) He has placed in my life :) thank You God!

i couldnt stop laughing when i read this. (click for a larger image.) seriously, vanessa's the only person i know who could've come up with something like this. it is SO HILARIOUS LA PLEASE. (((: but i really appreciate the organisation of the gathering and all. i think it's time we all met up as a class and relive the good old ny days. miss those days so much. cant wait for the 30th of may! <3

2008-05-20T13:38:00.003+08:00

just watched the season finale of gossip girl. now i cant wait for season two! haha. it was good entertainment, though i dont condone the events that happened, all the vices and all. plus, it's slightly superficial and shallow at times - all the catfighting and power struggles. but amidst all the rubbishy content, the final few episodes showed how people put their differences aside to work tgt for once, all in the name of friendship. pretty interesting i must say (: it's totally not a bimbo show for anyone who thinks that it is. it's more bitchy than anything. haha yes. so for anyone who has the time to spare, go watch it! i wouldnt say it's a must-watch series, but no harm watching la. and entertaining yourself with the drama. ohoh. and apart from the exciting drama, there're eye candies too. so why not, right? (:

2008-05-08T22:31:00.002+08:00

hurray! (: tell you a secret. i'm done with my exams! hurhur. and i'm officially YEAR ONE GOING ON YEAR TWO. how fast is that right? quite scary actually, thinking abt it. sem after sem just fly by. and before i know it, i'd be working alrdy! like for real.

anw anw. ended with econometrics-the-open-book-but-very-tough-mcq-exam. so gross la please. i was like MCQs! but the questions were beyond weirded-ness. bah. the only consolation is that EVERYONE felt the same way and our grades will fall prettily on a thing called the BELL CURVE. so there still is a teeny weeny bit of hope for a good grade. but i must say, it was my toughest paper. even macro-the-i-think-i-wanna-die-studying-for-it paper was better than today's. okay okay. i shall stop whining abt the exams. THEY ARE OVER.

so! headed to vivo after the paper with jel and joy :) :) we were like three super chui looking people walking arnd. but it was a good time of girltalk at the rooftop! it's times like these that you wish could last longer. but we've got a three mth break ahead of us! so who knows what will happen then :)

OKAY I NEED TO WHINE AGAIN. i'm down with a bad bad cough and a slight fever. what a way to end the exams right. started feeling sick on tues. and i was hoping i'd recover by today. well apparantly not. so so gross la. yikes.

tmrw's gonna be a day out with abra! gonna have our haircuts (FINALLY LA MY HAIR IS SO MESSY) and desserts at cheenatown! :) :) and i'm on a mission to sleep early every night from today onwards! i need my beauty sleep. and to regain my non-chui looks. HUR.

okay yikes. i realised this whole entry is beyond bimbo-ness. it must be the exams and the conversationally deprived (i love this term!) person i've become over the past month.

2008-04-10T15:21:00.003+08:00

i take forever to complete my essays/assignments/whatever as long as they are word-based/essay-like. SERIOUSLY. ive been at my 300 word analysis for a long time alrdy and i'm still not done. i mean, THREEEHUNDREDWORDS. how much is that right. apart from the fact that it takes time to pick out the important points, summarise them and type them out, a three hundred word thing shouldnt take that long. really. BUTTT. i found out the reason why i always take so long to do my assignments. i realised im quite a perfectionist when it comes to things like that. like i want my sentences to be linked properly, have a good flow, and well...just be nice. so YAYY. maybe i shld stop being so anal abt stuff like that righhtttt. but i cant help it. bahhh.

so im still in the library. and my assignment is due tmrw. im done with it actually! just in case you're wondering why my assignment is only 300 words long, it isnt. hur. it's one part out of a four part assignment. anw anw. i exceeded the word limit for my 300 word thing laaaaaa. i shld learn to be consise man seriously.

off to edit it now! byeeeee. i cant wait for this week to end.

2008-03-27T22:05:00.002+08:00

i wish i could turn back time la. i suddenly just miss the jc days SO BADLY :( randomly met collen today at the arts canteen and we talked for quite awhile ((: been msging amanda the past few days as well. met up with jh for dinner two weeks back. it's like all of us are kinda in constant (sorta) contact, but not physically there for one another. really miss those days when i would go to school knowing i have 8 girlfriends waiting to spend the torturous day of lectures and tutorials tgt with me.

we all need to be independent i guess. but at a time like this, i wish i had my 8 girlfriends everyday again.

2008-03-23T16:19:00.003+08:00

sometimes people make promises and they turn out being empty ones at the end of the day. busy schedule you say. then i say, dont make promises to start with. ta-dah! problem solved.

i really do feel shortchanged at times. but the bible says that it's more blessed to give than to receive. i know that, but sometimes, it's nice to be on the receiving end as well. i think my life is full of shortchanges here and there. or is it not?

SIGH. im not a very contented and happy person afterall ehh.

2008-03-17T22:11:00.005+08:00

i realise that i tend to think alot of weird stuff when i'm showering.
i realise that i tend to think more as i grow older.
i realise that i dont only think more, i tend to worry more as well.
i realise that the things i think abt usually are the 'what if's of life.
i realise that alot of the 'what if's usually remain 'what if's cos they dont end up happening.
i realise that the things i worry abt usually concerns the uncertain future.
i realise that i shldnt be worrying abt the future, cos it's entirely in God's hands. :)

ahhh. that was random. but it's true that i really do think and worry more (abt bigger stuff) now that i'm older. and it's really cos i dont know what will happen in future. but you know, i really shldnt be spending so much time thinking abt the future and worrying abt it cos the Lord is in control. it's hard to really comprehend stuff that are happening now (trials or not), but i guess in His time, i'll see that everything is really just a part of His plan for me. :)

and i'm thankful for that assurance. :) i just need to pray that He'll help me get all those thoughts that i've been thinking off my mind, and focus on Him wholly. cos ultimately, it really isnt abt me, myself and i. it's abt the Lord and who He is to me. :)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

alright. school tmrw! threedays of school this week (: oh. and thank God i did well for micro and econometrics midterms :D:D morale booster to do even better for finals! macro was bad though. havent gotten back results yet, but i have a very bad feeling abt it. so that's motivation to work extra hard for finals. (which are starting in slightly more than one month's time. rahhh.)

okay my fingers are satisfied now. i really do enjoy typing away on lappie. haha. and yes, that tenpage assignment was alot of typing but over now! hope i get a decent grade for that one or else there goes 20% of my grade. hurhur.

ookay i'm outta here. till next time! (to whoever actually bothers coming here to check for updates (: )

2008-02-13T21:55:00.002+08:00

the cny break is over (how sad!) and school is now in full swing again. but i think ive gotten used to the whole uni thing now that it's sem 2. studying doesnt seem so difficult as it was in sem 1 anymore. thank God for that! and i guess it's partly cos im doing 3 econs mods (and cos i choose to think i love econs haha) which makes the reading of notes/textbooks less of a chore. did i mention before that i missed doing math? haha yea. econs now is so math related so that's why i pretty much enjoy it! oo mel's so weird.

anw it's v-day tmrw! and jiemin is flying off to melbourne :( well at least i met up with her last dec after two long years! those days at tjc were the good old days man seriously. all the best dear jm! (: you'll be missed!

so anyway yes. v-day. i kinda miss the jc v-day period haha. everyone just bought stuff for everyone (well kinda) and it was just fun la. flowers! haha. love them. but now in uni it's like totally whatever. i cant be bothered at all really. cos i dont have a fixed class anw, and i probably wont be seeing half (or more than half) of the alrdy very few ppl i know. so yea. i guess that's just an excuse for being lazy. haha.

ahh. i was supp to come online to research for my TEN PAGE assignment on spousal violence in singapore. but i digressed and ended up doing other stuff. okay i found stuff but i havent exactly read through them yet :( and my eyes are gonna pop out soon alrdy. too much staring at the com. rarrr. and ive got an 8am (!!!) lecture tmrw. i need to sleep early. cos i overslept once before and missed one lect! okay that was so not worth mentioning.

oh! ps i love you will be released tmrw! i want to watch it. anyone anyone? pls tell me if you wanna watch it tooooo okay:) i really do wanna watch it in the next week or sth. not like 27dresses. bahhh. wanted to watch it but didnt eventually!

alrighty off i go! happy v-day/friendship day everyone! <3<3

p/s: desserts at ricciotti, anyone? (:

2008-01-21T23:35:00.000+08:00

you know, sometimes ppl think they're trying to help. but actually, they just end up messing everything up. and it really sucks when you start thinking abt things and realise that you really arent contented at all, when you thought you were.

well thank you very much ppl. i think you just made me feel more miserable than i alrdy felt.

school tmrw again. and timetable's settled. four-day week this sem :D yay! but modules are pretty stressful ones. i really really hope i can cope.

rahh. sorry for the random-ness of this entry. mel needs to breathe.

2008-01-16T12:24:00.000+08:00

ytd was the start of sem2 for me. haha yup i have mondays off ((: felt weird being in school again, altho i had been slightly anticipating it in the past week. but that's cos i was really bored at home with bidding and doing nth constructive. owells.

yea. i was saying how weird it was being back in school again. haha. ytd was the first time in one and a half mths that i stepped into school and had lectures. looking back, the holidays seemed really long! but i think that's cos there was camp and chrismas and newyear's day whatnot. so now, it's back to school and back to studying. oh how sad. but im looking forward to chinese new year! haha. long long weekend ((:

anw, had two lectures ytd and trust me, i never had more boring lecturers than those two. i thought gek1012 would be interesting but hurhur. the lecture ytd wasnt what i was expecting. but nvm, since it's the first lecture, shall not complain too much huh. foundations for econometrics was worse. i realised before sch started tt i was gg to get a korean prof and i was so excited. i mean, korean prof! haha yea. but goodness me. he was speaking at snail speed. thank God for jelaine and joy who were sitting tgt with me so we had each other's company :)

haha yes. so that was my first day of school. today's lecture has been cancelled so im rotting at home again. gosh. i think this is too much slack alrdy.

PHOTOS (:

2008-01-02T18:48:00.000+08:00

camp in a few photos! (: by a few, i really mean a FEW. there're almost 2000 photos from camp altogether. haha goodness!

inner circle of friends! (without lysa tho) taken at the airport when sending mark&huimin off. from bottom left gg clockwise: sheryl, daniel wong, caleb, joshua, me (:

taken tgt with mark and huimin :D (same ppl as above)

at donut factory with amanda (:

my favourite girlfriends! (without gouyue and kj tho)

girlfriends, army boys and the christmas tree at novena square :D

2008-01-02T17:01:00.000+08:00

heyy all! this is slightly late, but blessed new year nonetheless! :)

heh. the past month has been busy busy busy for me even after the exams. what with camp prep, camp, christmas prep and christmas, yf/yaf anniv and all. but they're all over! slightly missing the camp days tho. camp was really a good time of fellowship and learning from God's Word albeit being busy and stressed cos of food matters. yupp. lots of funny videos and photos this time round! also got to know ppl better through service in the camp comm and im grateful for that :)

was christmas after that. baked cookies this time round for the church peeps (: the usual happened after christmas eve svc in church - ppl were running everywhere wishing ppl and passing presents and cards! was a very heartwarming sight, tho it happens every year. love the spirit of christmas (: but yes, we must remember the reason behind the season! and that is cos Christ came down to earth many years ago, to save us from our sins. indeed, christmas isnt chrismas till it happens in your heart :)

the last day of 2007 was spent largely at sheryl's place preparing food and other stuff for yf/yaf anniv. our apple pie was successful! yay :D haha. and cos we had so many things to do, we ended up rushing. mad rush i tell you. then had yf/yaf thanksgiving anniv. glad that the video montage turned out okay! watchnight svc was after that. thought the msg was really good and it made me reflect on the year that had passed and how i had spent my time.

Psa 90:12 So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.

so that is my prayer for the new year, that i will make every day count for the Lord!

anw. i was in shock after the svc ended at how fast the year had been and how we're alrdy entering in the new year. i mean, yes. the year did fly by really quickly! pretty scared abt the new year, honestly. have this feeling that many things will happen and like what sheryl said, it's gonna be a whole year of uni. but thank God for the assurance that He will never leave or forsake us, and that His grace is always sufficient. cant rem the exact words of the last hymn we sang, but it did give me a whole lot of courage abt entering into the new year :)

yupp. so that was basically the last month of 2007 for me. got my results back too, am contented :D will aim to study harder and improve my CAP no matter how hard it seems. school's starting in abt two weeks! how fast eh. alrighty, gg off now. till the next time! (:

2007-12-07T00:12:00.000+08:00

*bangs head on wall*

2007-12-05T14:20:00.000+08:00

you know. i was just doing random stuff and then i was reminded of my soci paper (which i didnt manage to complete!) and then i thought. hmm. i think i might get a fail grade for my third essay! :( :( rahhh. ohno ohno howhowhow?

now i cant stop thinking abt it. rahhh. of all the random things in the world to think of, i had to be reminded of my soci paper. thankyouverymuch.

2007-12-03T23:30:00.000+08:00

mel is a happy girl now. cos she finished her exams today! (: *bounces up and down* hahah yay. finally finally over. been really tiring the past few weeks studying and trying to cram one sem's worth of stuff into my tiny brain. but by God's grace and with His strength, i've managed to finish my exams in one piece (: really thank God for His sustenance all this while cos i think i wldnt have been able to take it all alone. so yes, the Lord has been faithful indeed! :D

so yay. exams are over. and the holidays are here! lots to look forward to. camp, christmas and lots of meetups with friends! (: all the excitement hoho. pretty much what you dont get during term time. i was reading my past entries and i was like woah. look at the transition of emotions man. from the excitement of gg to school, to drear and agony as the weeks went by. HAHA. nevertheless, i've finished sem 1 and i'm really amazed by how fast time flies! and yes, i am glad that sem 1's over (: it felt like the A levels all over again la seriously.

alrighty. school starts again in one and a half month's time and exam results will be out the day after christmas! how nice right. belated christmas present. owells. good and happy things (like the holidays) dont last forever. for now, i shall just enjoy my holidays, finish up with camp planning (food!) and look forward to camp, anticipate the arrival of christmas and be happy (:

2007-10-21T15:34:00.000+08:00

i think some people should totally be ashamed of themselves. i just cant help feeling bitter about it now la. SO ANNOYING. i mean, THINK TWICE before talking about someone else when YOU are behaving in the same way or even worse. like stop being sarcastic and whatnot. it's highly irritating and frustrating. get a life la seriously! rarrrrrr.

i know that was totally off and random but i felt bitter about a certain issue ALL OVER AGAIN.

grrr. mel should learn to stop feeling bitter. it's bad for health. :(

2007-10-16T23:00:00.000+08:00

can i just say how much i love my friends? (: today was a day well spent with friends who're so dear to me. i love you all! :D

thanks to all for the birthday wishes :) ben - who wished me on sunday in case he forgot today haha, sheryl & andrew - for the present and for wishing me on sun, jiahui - the first on the actual day via sms and msn :D, jasmine, amanda - for calling and wishing me personally (:, lydia (cousin!), shu'en, lynette cheah - same bday!

most imptly, thank God for the 19 years of my life so far, for the many blessings - and that includes all those mentioned above :)

2007-09-15T23:23:00.000+08:00

rahhh. school is getting crazier and crazier as the days go by. my weeks seem to be flying by really quickly recently :( tests, projects, assignments, readings, revision. that's kinda like my life now. so much to do, yet so little time. or maybe it's just cos i dont know how to prioritise and that's why i can so easily allow distractions to take my focus off my books. as i mentioned, the past 8mths or so of not studying hasnt done me any good at all. in any case, i am trying my best to focus at all times and study hard! yes i am!

I CANT WAIT FOR RECESS WEEK.

2007-08-31T20:40:00.000+08:00

it's been three weeks since i started school :D everything's been quite okay so far, thankfully! but i must say that uni life is SO SO different from jc and it took me awhile to adapt. i think im still trying to adapt cos i just cant seem to study for long! it's like my attention span is cut down to half or sth. goodness me. i need to start studying hard alrdy! it's so crazy cos everytime i go to the library to study and do my readings, i always see lots of people studying as though final exams were in the next week :S madness i tell you!

but in any case, im happy i chose the modules that im doing now cos they're so much fun! (: english has been really interesting and i got my lecturer as my tutor. cool stuff heh :D soci has been wayyy too FUN cos my lecturer is always going out of point by telling us stories and all. haha. seasian studies is better than i thought cos the whole team of lecturers and tutors are just so cool and exciting! econs has been rather mad cos i have a pretty boring lecturer but i still love econs so yay :) haha. food security and safety has been quite okay too but the new lecturer is not very nice and im not looking fwd to her lessons :( ohwells. so yes, those are the mods im taking this sem! :D

rahhs. but it's been really stressful. it's all abt independence in uni it's so scary. and really, ppl are studying as tho the exams were next week it's stressing me out like mad :( it's so hard to keep up with readings and tutorials! it's been really long since i last studied (read: 8 months). such a study hazard!

so yea. that's uni life for you. it's stressful yet at the same time, pretty fun as well. haha. tho i still miss jc quite abit! speaking of that, i wanted to visit ny teachers today! but didnt, eventually. heh.

anw anw. went to the airport to send xinhui off today :( rahh. i dont like farewells. but im sure she'll do well over there! all the best my dear! :D we shall all start saving money so we can go visit you next year or sth! and yayness. i really had a lot of fun with the clique on wed :D food was great, company was better! we shld do this more often. on a side note, riciotti's dessert is fantabulous! (:

ookay! shall end here la. have a great weekend everyone! :D :D

2007-08-12T16:05:00.000+08:00

rahhs. SCHOOL STARTS TMR. i cant believe it! my 8 month long holiday will end today. today. today. ohman. time really flies when you're having fun huh! =D

that aside, i got all my mods so yay (: will be doing four arts exposures as well as a sci GEM. i didnt want to do the sci one at first but owells. long story abt it and cos of that mod, i now have a five day week. hurhur. it's okay la. i shall make the library my new best friend (:

anws! oweek officially ended ytd with RAG DAY :D but i cldnt make it. heard that arts didnt win anything :( sad case. but it's okay! the arts spirit lives on man. oweek was really enjoyable i must say! tho some of the games were quite retarded, it was overall a good whole week of fun and getting to know ppl before school officially started. it's really cool cos i went for oweek like all alone and came out of it knowing so many more freshies and seniors (: yayness. but it was really really tiring. haha. the cheering, the running from place to place, the sleeping late and waking up early. but all worth it!

after saying so much, i still cant believe school starts tmr. a whole new phase of my life will begin in less than 24 hours' time. life as an undergraduate :D sounds cool huh. but with it comes lots and lots of responsibilities. im looking forward to it with much anticipation, tho a part of me still wishes that school didnt have to start. rahhs. how contradictory.

i just hope that all will go well in the next three to four years (:

2007-08-03T10:20:00.000+08:00

this week has been super hectic :( been gg to school every single day. was either for matric or talks or oweek. and im actually supp to be in sch now for oweek hahah but here i am at home. that's cos i want to be a kiasu student and monitor the bidding process. haha. but it's so stressful watching it! grrr. and im really afraid i might not get the mods i want :(

that aside! 'twas first day of oweek ytd. wheeeeee. the seniors are really nice and funny ppl yay :D and og is pretty cool too. made a few new friends so yay! no need to go for lectures alone :D hahah. and im really glad that most of my ogls and councillors are econs or soci majors so then i can always ask them if i need help. yep. cos that's what im thinking of majoring in. still pretty undecided! shall see how things go for my exposure mods first :)

ohoh. and im currently typing away on my newest buy! my laptop :) yayness. apart frm matriculation and oweek, this is the next best thing that has happened to me this week. hahaha.

alrighty! im pretty excited that school's starting apart from the fact that i had to bid for lousy lecture timings cos the entire world is bidding for the good ones. like huhh. i dont really want a friday 4-6 lecture. but nvm! im happy abt school cos i think i can find my way arnd nus pretty much alrdy. hahah. okay la ive never walked to FoS and beyond, but more or less im fine! :D

wheeee. and i will be able to see my friends arnd school. ppl like amanda van collen kaijia :D we shall have subway sessions tgt okay! hoho. and do come to lunch at the arts canteen too and accompany me! hahaha. im getting a high just thinking abt school lol.

back to the bids.

2007-07-20T09:52:00.000+08:00

i thought today would be a better day.

keyword: thought.

2007-07-19T15:33:00.000+08:00

i had a very good night out with the prc last night to celebrate collen's bday and to catch up ((: i went home full (from dinner and dessert) and happy. i woke up this morning feeling tired cos i didnt have enough sleep but i was okay. throughout the day, things just got worse.

it's amazing what words can do.

2007-07-13T15:48:00.000+08:00

i am thankful for the girlfriends who always make time for girlfriends :D :D

YAY (: had a very good night out with the clique. it's been quite awhile but we somehow never run out of things to talk abt. it was so fun, just like the old times! i wish we cld meet up more often :( in any case, let's start making plans for our trip to taiwan/beijing/wherever soooon okay!! i really really wanna go. hahaha.

meetup with another group of girlfriends next week :D I CANT WAIT. cos i havent seen you babes in a super duper long time. i sometimes wish we were back in our jc days (minus the mugging) cos they were really one of the best times of my life. but yay we're finally gg to meet up again (:

so nice right. to have girlfriends who make time for girlfriends.

2007-07-12T16:12:00.000+08:00

hoho. im at work now and ive got nth to do. i seriously hate the state that i'm in now mainly cos i feel that im rotting and wasting my life away :( i havent had a decent break ever since the A's ended and im effectively supposed to be having my hols now!! rarrrr. and this wld probably be the biggest break i'd ever be getting in a long long time but ive happily wasted it away. smart mel, smart. grrr. and SCHOOL IS STARTING ALRDY. in abt 3-4 weeks' time. ohmandearme. time flies!! :(

but it's okay cos im ending (YAY) work next friday. so i shall stop complaining abt how bad everything is now. let's learn to be happy shall we :D and i have meet-ups planned with my dearies so i shld be happy :) dinner tonight with abragang to celebrate mojo's birthday in advance! i cant wait to see them again yay. im getting excited just thinking abt it heehee.

ohoh. i realised i havent exactly mentioned where im headed to huhh. i will officially be a student of the faculty of arts and social sciences at NUS on the 30th of july which is (yay) matriculation day :D pretty excited abt stuff but mm. im still quite confused as to what's happening in oweek. someone wanna help me out here? (:

it feels funny to be called an undergraduate. ahh and i hate it cos ppl in office think gg to arts is not good. ppl ask why im not doing business or sth. is arts really that bad? :( i wanna get in touch with the artsy side of me once again. ECONS :D but i shall make sure i think through before i make any major decisions, cos i think sociology's interesting too.

wheeeeeeeee :) one more hour to go.

2007-05-21T10:33:00.000+08:00

OH MAN. i went to ny's website only to realise that the volleyball finals were held last fri! :( wanted so badly to support ny cos it's one of the best memories i have of ny :D the cheering (tho repetitive), the school spirit, the high-ness of it all, the shouting and checking out eye-candies based on their jersey numbers (HAHA) were so much fun! there was so much more to that i tell you. the volleyball finals is where we show ppl that NY rocks like no other. gosh. i miss my nanyang days!

on a very very happy note, i think ny won! :D yay!

let's go nanyang, let's go!

2007-05-08T16:22:00.000+08:00

here's a short update!

i'm currently still working and i've got new duties! :D been covering recep duties for abt a mth alr on an alternate day basis. so one day im at the recep, the next day im back to my desk. heh. smth like that. but doing recep can be quite tiring! not much phone calls cos mine's not the main line, but lots of visitors/guests/big shots who come for mtgs. so gotta settle them in the mtg rooms and call the various secretaries to inform them and whatnot. but im loving it cos i got to know my colleagues better! and got to talk to them more too. they're a nice bunch of ppl those secretaries hahaa :) anws i probably will work till june only. i think i want a break before uni starts. tho i need the money too. SIGH. what shld i do?

anws speaking of uni! just some updates. thank God for offers from both the unis i applied for. so now, i've got SMU's school of social sciences and NUS's FASS :D am still not really decided but i think im more inclined towards NUS. i mean, FASS is more established than the school of social sciences at SMU. but then again, SMU is so much nearer for me and the cirriculum they offer is not bad too. oh dear me. i really hope i can settle this soon, so that there'll be one less thing to worry abt. am just praying that the Lord's will be done even in this aspect of my life :)

to end off, i must say that i really miss school! (and studying for that matter) and so, yes! i cant wait for term to start! :D

one more thing. im missing my girlfriends a whole lot too. it's been ages since we had time to sit down and talk and catch up with one another. let's make it sometime soon okay? (:

2007-03-12T13:51:00.000+08:00

HELLO ALL :D

i'm typing this at work. hee hee. just some updates cos i know this blog has been rotting ever since the year started. alrighty! i'm no longer working at the student care centre. started in feb, doing admin in HR dept at ST Telemedia. yupps. it's like starhub's headquarters of some sort. and work gets boring cos sometimes i have NTH to do. so yea. will be working till may and i wonder if i can take it.

okay! on to other stuff. A's results! received them on 2 Mar and i must say that the whole process was such a drama. for me at least. like who in the world cries before getting results? bet i was the only pathetic soul who was crying so terribly even before getting my results. but now when i think abt it, i do feel ashamed cos it only shows my lack of faith in God. if i had committed all to Him, i wldnt or shldnt have felt that way. but in any case, the whole drama ended well. and i must thank God for my results. He gave me smth far beyond my own expectations! (: the Lord has been gracious towards me in seeing me through the whole A level torture and allowing me to come out of it victorious :) plus, He gave me grades that i never ever expected.

i really have much to testify abt regarding God's presence with me throughout my two yrs of jc education. He has never failed me no matter how i've disappointed Him. i believe that my grades are definitely not results of my own effort, but God's hand working and allowing for things to fall in place. and it really was (and still is!) good to be able to lean on His promises even as i had to go through tough times. thank You, Lord! :D

so that basically sums up results-day. ohh. met some of the ppl frm my batch in church to pray after we got our results. was good to be able to meet and thank God tgt and to pray for one another, no matter what the results were, knowing that God has a greater purpose and plan for each one of us :)

moving on. it's time for UNI :) have pretty much decided what i wanna do alr but im still praying for God to reveal His will to me. cos i really dont wanna rush into things and leave God out of my whole decision-making process. just praying that the Lord will lead me to the course where He knows is best for me, and that i might even be a good testimony for Him wherever i go :D

hmm. okay i think i'll end here. will update soon la, provided there's smth to update abt. hahaa.

"It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness."
Lamentations 3:23-24

indeed, great is thy faithfulness!

2007-01-01T23:35:00.000+08:00

God makes no mistakes

my life i give, to You O Lord, use me i pray
may i glorify your precious name, in all i do and say
let me trust You in the valley dark, as well as in the light
knowing You will always lead me, Your will is always right

i know God makes no mistake, He leads in every path i take
along the way that's leading me to home
though at times, my heart would break
there's a purpose in every change He makes,
that others would see my life and know that God makes no mistakes

and then one day, in Heaven above, i see His dear face
may i then be counted faithful, as a runner in this race
but now i'm trusting in the Saviour, to show me the way
in His righteousness He guides me, as i seek to please Him day by day

blessed new year everyone! (:

2006-12-29T23:30:00.000+08:00

I'M BACK! (: after one whole month. hahahh. so yes, i shall summarise my month.

1. i'm working! at the student care centre where my parents work, tgt with uncle victor and aunty linda. and angie! so yay. i have company. pay is not exactly very good but oh wells. i'm satisfied :) will be teaching pri4 tgt with angie next yr. anticipating it but then again, not really. hahah. will be fun but tiring.

2. i had youth camp last week! (: speaker was rev ki. msges were really really good. tho wasnt what the comm had expected, God worked through rev ki in a different way. and i think many campers left the camp feeling different. thank God for His providence before and during camp :) like we prayed so hard for the rain to stop on wed so we cld have our games and the Lord gave us a bright and sunny day for wet games! fellowship was sweet and it was just so nice to be in the midst of everyone for 5 days. i miss planning for camp. i miss camp comm mtgs. i miss camp. but i thank God for the opportunity to serve in camp comm this year :) it was just wonderful knowing everyone better and serving the Lord tgt.

3. i was busy busy after camp. went caroling at mount elizabeth hospital on sat. was an interesting experience. i love christmas carols! (: then it was christmas eve on sun! had combined svc in the morning and christmas svc at night. was rushing christmas cards in between the two svcs. hahah. really badd. i think i shld start planning for christmas next yr in nov or smth. anw, had a nice time exchanging presents and greetings with ppl after night svc. it's so fun to see ppl rushing to pass presents and all. thank God for christmas when we celebrate the Lord's birth. it just makes christmas more meaningful knowing the reason behind the season :)

4. combined sunday school outing on tues was fun! (: alright. the guys did a good job this time hahah. we had games in church, then set off in three grps to go arnd s'pore looking for good food. it was fun mann. had lots of food and it was a good time of fellowship. tho the two girls classes arent exactly very close but oh wells. it was still a fruitful outing yay :)

5. final camp comm mtg ytd to wrap up stuff. think it was our shortest mtg ever! record time of two hours i think? hahah. our mtgs usually last for a minimum of 3-4 hours. had lunch tgt and then walked arnd. zara was having a sale! and so are many other places. post-christmas that's why. so yea ppl. go shop now! there are sales everywhere. had a long talk with lysa after that. yupp. good catching up on stuff and talking abt certain issues. thank God we have each other really :)

yay im gonna end alr. long one there. there's more to talk abt camp and chistmas and work but im really lazy. like what i said, i was gonna summarise. anw, mtg secsch friends tmr to go visit my sec4 form tcher! then, dinner with yfers :) sunday's gonna be a long day again. kindy/sundayschool/svc in the morning, yf/yaf anniv in the evening and watchnight svc at night.

and as our lives change, come whatever,

2006-11-17T23:24:00.000+08:00

if you've realised, i usually update after a major exam and go like 'BLOCKS have ended!' or 'PRELIMS have ended!' and whatnot. but hey, im updating today and this is for real. this is real and i still kinda cant really believe it. oh well here goes. MY A LEVELS ARE OVERRRR! (:

ok la. it's not that im extremely happy that it's over. just really really relieved. i tell you, the a levels has been one tiring, exhausting, energy-sapping (and sadly, traumatic) experience. i so so DO NOT want to go through this whole thing again. so yes, pls pray for results. i am extremely worried. after every paper, there's always this uncertain-ness in me and seriously, it is very irritating. and trust me, FYS is no use to a pretty large extent. i mean, just look at this yr's papers and you know. ah whatever. everything's over.

BUT! i'm thankful cos i know the Lord was with me throughout this whole thing. He has consistently granted me the strength and courage to face my exams. i pretty much wouldnt have survived without strength from above. thank you Lord! :) and thank You too, for giving me wonderful friends who are always there to encourage me. yep. my dear friends, i wouldnt have been able to go through my a's without all of you too! :) the support, encouragement and love we had for each other really helped make things better! i love you guys! :) and amanda, our prayer sessions before each paper were really good starts :)

haha okay. enough of thank-yous. not as if i won an oscar or smth. ANW. headed to vivocity after our last paper today (: was with the non-bio ppl of S10A! yay us! haha. had dinner and walked arnd. eh. i think vivo's okay la. nth really spectacular. just a big mall with alot of shops, alot of exits, alot of turns, and alot of chances for you to lose your way. and hmm. high-end shopping la i guess. not for ppl like me actually. so yea. but i'll prolly visit again sometime soon :)

ookay. anw anw. today was the last time i'll ever ever wear my uniform. not that i'll miss wearing brown, but it's like, it'll be weird not having to put on my uniform ever again! yea. and i'll not step into nanyang again until mar 07. ah scary. will miss school i think. and last time i got to see my eyecandy. ex eyecandy. but whatever. haha but amanda! i'll never forget how we used to be so excited over him. HAHA. it was hilarious la, just thinking abt it now :)

ahhhh. i really think i will miss school. and my class and my friends and my teachers. recently, ive been listening to vitamin c's graduation. yea i know it's a super old song. BUT. it's true man, we're a level graduates! :) and it really is sad to you know, leave. and so, i really hope we can have a class gathering soon! yep. definitely before the guys enlist la. haha. poor guys :(

WOW. my entry's kinda long ehhh. yay yay. i miss typing on my keyboard! (:

to end off, here are some of the things i wanna do now that im free from studying! oh man. i wanna say it again. here are some of the things i wanna do now that im free from studying (: feels good saying it mannn.

1. youth camp stuff! (havent been able to do much cos of a's)
2. seek the Lord more and more! :)))
3. read the book that ive been waiting so long to read (:
4. SHOP!
5. catch up with friends
6. chill with my girlfriends
7. travel! (but i need money. any sponsors? heh.)
8. find a job

ah okay la. the list is non-exhaustive. just wanna be spontaneous and do whatever i feel like doing. been a long time since i could do that. and this time, everything i do will be guilt-free! (: whoohoo.

thank You Lord for seeing me through my A levels (:

2006-10-13T22:30:00.000+08:00

today was graduation day. like the last day of school ever ever. ahhh. you know, time really flies and it's kinda hard to believe that i'll never get to be standing at the parade square singing the national anthem/sch song in the mornings anymore. as i think back on my two yrs in NY, i have nth but fond memories. fond memories that will definitely last a lifetime. and im thankful to the Lord for putting me in NY. as much as i wasnt happy abt being posted to NY after 1st three mths, i've grown to love the sch and the ppl arnd me :) and i know i'll definitely miss my NY days.

gosh. there are a million and one things i wanna say and a million and one ppl i wanna thank. to sum it all up, NY has been a place that i can not only call sch, but even perhaps my second home. the friendships and bonds forged will never be forgotten. my dear tutors have been most encouraging and patient. my classmates have been the bestest ppl ive met. they really make sch so much more bearable. all our class jokes and nonsense. ahhh. memories. and my PRC babes :) i love you all so so much! will definitely miss our gossip sessions and all the times we spent with each other. gosh. i'm alr missing sch :(

you know, i cant believe i actually miss sch. it's like how i always wanted to get out of NY but now im actually missing it. i think it'll be weird that we'll not be starting sch in jan next year. no more muddy brown uniform, no more LT4 lectures, no more 5-64 CT classroom. and no more of alot alot more things.

but yes, good things do come to an end. at least we've got fond memories of the sch to keep for life. for now, let's all work hard for our A's :) i really hope wad mr kwek said abt march 2007's ST headlines will come true. that'll really be a day to celebrate all our effort and hard work. yay.

alrighty. long one here eh. ive got alot more to say but i've got to keep it short. for now, it's back to the notes/tys/prelimpapers/essays. 18 more days! (:

2006-09-24T18:37:00.000+08:00

you know, i am so so annoyed. i tried updating during the week but my com restarted each time i was done typing and all ready to publish my entry. it happened TWICE! grrr. well anws. i hope my com wont restart this time round.

well well. prelims are over and sch's starting soon. seriously speaking, i feel alot happier studying for A's than for prelims. same sentiments, anyone? was talking to linjin after YF ytd and she was telling me it's really alot easier to get into uni than how the teachers at sch make it seem. yea. smth like a CDD and you can probably get into FASS@NUS alr. yepp. just praying that the Lord will lead me to the right course at uni and yup, there's where i'll be :)

had subway today with my sunday school class after svc! shared a foot long nice yummy italian bmt with sheryl. yupp. haha satisfying i tell you. and i had a haircut today! yupps. it's not much shorter, but alot thinner and lighter. alot alot more comfortable.

had a fondue party at mandy's last night. nice to meet up with my sec4 friends again. yepp. mandy's leaving for UK this fri! she's one smart girl i tell you. did her A's in UK and scored 5 amazing As. and she's going back this time to Ireland to do medicine. wish i was that smart, and yes of course, that rich. but ohwells. like many other ppl, im stuck in a jc in s'pore. sad thing.

oh yay. my com hasnt restarted so i better publish this fast. gotta go for dinner at my aunt's hse too so yes, off now! will update soon i promise. loves everyone! :)

2006-07-09T16:22:00.000+08:00

YAY. today is finally here! :) gonna have dinner tgt with collenie, kj and gouyue before heading to van's hse tonight! cant wait man. haha. to think that we've actually been planning for tonight's gathering even before midyrs ended. and i am so sure it'll be so much fun. what could beat watching the world cup finals tgt with your girlfriends? :) i LOVE.

anw, went for YF ytd. been a really long time since i last went. thank God for the msg which was on obedience from the life of daniel. really apt and practical :) i realised that i had actually missed out on alot of sweet fellowship the past few months. you know, sometimes it just helps if there's someone older to talk to. yeahh. oh! and for church vesper, YF's gonna put up a play! haha. the script's written by jean and i think it's really good. speaking of jean, my dear CGL, i really thank God for her :) she's been an ultimate blessing in my life. dont think she'll ever see this but anw, I LOVE YOU JEAN! (:

ooh. my bro just called. he's stuck at the bus stop and it's raining heavily now. being the kind sister i am, i shall go down with an umbrella to get him outta that bus stop. laters! (:

2006-07-06T22:50:00.000+08:00

portugal 0-1 france

and so portugal lost to france cos of a penalty. wasnt exactly supporting any team until i saw how well portugal played. well at least i thought they played pretty well. and i actually think christiano ronaldo's kinda good! the free kick he took almost scored an equaliser! but too bad it didnt. ohwells. but anw, they're playing germany for 3rd place. i hope germany wins. HAH. wont be able to watch that match cos there's church in the morning so i wont get to see both teams play. sad! gotta wait another FOUR YEARS.

was watching the match alone cos my brother couldnt wake up. well, he was actually beside me tho. but SLEEPING on the sofa. was msging kj and vantan during the match so i wasnt exactly alone! :) heh. and one of vantan's msges made me laugh non-stop. it went smth like zidane's one hairy shit and ribery must be some pirate-turned-soccer player. france has so many blacks they should play as AFRICA. hahaha. she never fails to crack me up man! :)

well, i realised my 5-day break will end really soon. and then i'll be getting my exam scripts back. not good. ahh. sometimes i really wanna quit school and stay at home. if only life can be without exams. haha. i wish.

anw anw. i think zac efron is kinda cute! :)

2006-07-06T00:15:00.000+08:00

HELLO WORLD! :) i'm back. i know i havent updated in the longest time. as usual, im either too lazy or i just have nth much to update abt. yea. life's been pretty mundane. imagine going to sch attending lectures and tutorials, then coming home to study and complete tutorials. ah boring. just thinking abt it really bores me! and sch's officially starting next tues :(

well anw. midyrs have finally ended and i'm pretty glad abt it. yup. it's like after months of studying for it and finally i get a break of a mere 5-6 days. well yea. before getting my papers back, then starting the whole cycle of studying again cos' prelims' in less than two months. kinda sad eh. but i guess all these madness will end soon! cant wait for our A levels to be over :) i really really am looking forward to it. and i think everybody else in this mad jc system is too.

i really wanna thank GOD for seeing me through this whole period of exams. the studying for it and the actual exam period itself. without His strength and wisdom, i wouldnt have managed all that i did. He really is a great and wonderful God who never fails us. and im really thankful for all He has done for me. so much that i dont deserve, yet He gives to me. it makes me want to serve Him and love Him even more. this year hasnt really been a very good year for me spiritually-wise and i really hope to change this. i guess this requires alot of self-discipline and i will pray for it. but im still thankful that He is always there for me. prayer indeed is a powerful tool! :) praying at the start of the day, before i start studying and before my papers really works wonders. serious. it sets my heart right so that what i do is solely for His glory and not my own, knowing that i can do everything cos He gives me strength, and committing all to Him. thank you Lord! :)

and so, towned with the girls today after our last paper. the bio girls werent with us tho cos they still arent done with mids. PRESS ON BABES! :) was pretty fun just walking arnd with my favourite girlfriends. and i hope for more of such sessions! heh. when we have much much more time i guess. BUT! this sunday will be smth to look forward to. we're all going to van's hse to catch the finals of the world cup tgt! :) YAY. im so sure it'll be so so much fun. speaking of the world cup, germany is out! sighh. was actually supporting them. well anw. will be catching the portugal-france match later. wonder who will win and play against italy in the finals. cant wait for the match cos the last world cup match i watched was the opening match. HAH. cos i didnt subscribe to cable la.

quite a long entry here eh. makes up for all the months that i didnt update yea. haha. anw, recently, disney channel aired this movie called 'high school musical' and i really kinda like it! watched it both the times that it was aired. heh. the songs in the show are really nice! :) okay. gonna end here.

2006-01-28T15:07:00.000+08:00

im extremely sorry for the pathetic state of this blog. i updated one day in sch but the stupid com refused to let me publish my post! and it was also time for tks' lesson so i had to forget it. was so so angry! cos i had updated abt stuff in dec (lastyr) and orientation. ohwells. NVM. shall talk abt orientaion again! :)

HAHA. orientation was so so FUN! miss those days i tell you. waking up early and being in sch by 0630 was really worth it. fellow ogls were jianhao and shinye. umm. was kinda apprehensive abt working tgt with them but it turned out to be great! they're really nice and fun ppl to work with. so, thanks to jianhao and shinye! :) took OG31 and mygosh. they rocked. BIGtime. were really nice and enthu ppl. cheated at games and even came up with their own OG motto. nocheatnofun. HAHA. love them all! was also nice to see a familiar face in og31. darren! from my prisch. yeahh. anws, OG31 really made all my sacrifices worth it. the waking up early, the missing of lectures and tutorials, the losing my voice and energy, etc. orientation wouldnt be as great without them. and great job to the 28th SC too! project x was a big success i must say :)

so that's abt all for orientation. shant talk abt it anymore cos it was like so long ago alr! haha. anws, after that, it was back to the mundane schedule of wake up-go to sch-lectures-tutorials-go home-hmk-sleep. was kinda hard to adjust back for the first few days. a few of us suffered from post-O1 withdrawl syndrome. haha. had the tendency to break out into random cheers all of a sudden. look what orientation has done to us. tsk. :)

ANW. it's really back to studies now. the work load has started piling up and the tests are coming and going so quickly. rahhh. super duper stressful. but many thanks to the prc babes who make sch so much more bearable! :) the fun and laughter i share with you babes will be the best and most treasured moments of my jc life. lovelots.

ok la. i want to end this post alr. typed this for the sake of informing the entire world out there that I'M STILL ALIVE! just that ive been really lazy to update. to end off, happy chinese new year everyone! have fun, but do take care of your health too. yups. till my next update! :)

2005-12-09T12:20:00.000+08:00

alrights. it's the first night of Christmas Cantata tonight. praying that the gospel msg and the cantata will be effective instruments to bring souls to Christ, esp now that it is the Christmas season. looking forward to singing tonight! been practising very hard the past few months for the cantata and im glad that we can finally present it. may everything be done to His Glory! Amen! :)

hmm. and so, the SEA Games ended on mon. i must say singapore did really well this year! :) yup. swimming, sailing and gymnastics especially. haha. well, swimming and gymnastics are the ones that i really enjoy watching! athletics is nice to watch too. but singapore somehow doesnt really shine in the track events. which is so sad. anws, cheers to our swim team and gym girls! :)

gosh. nicole tay is really my hero for this year's games. only 14, but she shows that kind of perseverance that i really admire. i mean, what can be worse than falling down from the balance beam three times, and getting hurt in the process? BUT. she never gave up. she finished her routine and went on to do her floor exercise later. AND. won the gold. plus, she's got a really sweet smile :) and to sidetrack, i found out from the papers that lee wen si and gary tan are a couple! haha. yet another team singapore golden couple. :)

looking forward to the next Games. heh. i love watching such sporting events! :) plus, im sucha fan of team singapore. haha. YES i am. i love my country alrights. :) so so heartwarming to see our own ppl competing and doing well for the country. it proves that though we may be a small nation, we're strong and united. team singapore. 4 million strong. how true (:

nicole tay and her gold medal! :) yay. my fav picture of this year's Games. :)

2005-11-29T14:06:00.000+08:00

shall do a quick update since i havent been updating for a pretty long time. anws, the hols so far have been boring. seriously man. im like stuck at home every single day and all i do is watch teevee and use the com. and well, do some hmk occassionally. haha. im like a certified couch potato! ooh. i really need to get out of the house! i miss prc, i miss 05S10A, i miss my sec sch buddies. and i kinda do miss sch too. :(

well well. life's an irony eh? when it's the sch term, you cant wait for the hols to arrive. and when it's the hols, you wish you were back in sch. haha. ok la. at least that applies to me most of the time. alrights. im seriously bored. anyone wanna ask me out? HAHA.

ok. on to more serious stuff. sermons the past few sundays have been pretty good. they were on worship. like what worship is all abt and how we shld worship. yes, worship is all abt what you can give to God and not what you can get out of it. it's like you're giving your time, focus, praise and all to God. it's really not abt how the sermon/worship affects you and all. it's not abt YOU. it's abt GOD. and so it makes sense that a solemn svc is the most conducive manner in which you can worship. since worship is really not abt whether you enjoy it whatsoever. yup.

anw, im looking forward to Christmas Cantata! it'll be on the 9th and 10th of Dec. anyone interested in coming for it? do let me know alrights! (:

2005-11-21T23:14:00.000+08:00

heys! back for an update :)

had an entire week of lectures last week. super boring and tiring but im glad that it's all over! haha. it's quite bad that i havent really gotten into the 'revision mode' yet when im supposed too. badbad. ohwells. im pretty sure i'll get into it soon. yes. SOON. hah =D

anw, was supposed to do some ushering job today in sch. there was this award ceremony in memory of a late teacher from ny. collen came along too! heh. BUT. we didnt get to usher at all. haha. we were stupidly waiting at the fountain area while the tpjc students happily entered the sch from the back gate. attended the short ceremony aft that. hmm. it's really a pity that ms hamimah passed away so tragically. could tell from the short video thingy that she was a good teacher and was well-liked by everyone. collen and i were even discussing the possibility of her being our GP tutor instead! anws, the award recepient was this tcher from tpjc. so that explains the presence of tpjcians today.

had dinner with collen at macs aft that! was super hungry. had a nice time with her mans. talked abt quite alot of stuff and i really enjoyed her company. yups. we shld have more of such dinners/lunches k! yays :)))

hmm. been having this love-hate relationship with sundays ever since a few months ago. and i dont want it! used to love sundays cos i get to go to church and all but the love that i used to have for sundays isnt really there anymore. not because i dread going to God's house and worshipping Him. it's just this other factor that's bothering me quite abit. and i have no idea what to do abt it. and i really hate this feeling! :( argh. i dont know how to put it.

alrightt. enough of that. i think that it's really hard to plan a get-together with my sec sch mates cos everyone's schedules clashes! that's the problem when you're in different schs eh. ohwells. im sure it'll work out someday :)

am currently thinking what i should do tmr. haha. dont want to be wasting my time again! but on the other hand, i dont really feel like doing hmk too. realised it's less than a month to the new term/year. oh! forgot to mention that im an ogl now. heh. taking over kj's place. pretty excited abt O1 :) and i do kinda miss my O1 days too. sadsad. on a happier note, i dreamt of my eye candies last night! yep. tj eye candies. haha. abra shld know who eh. :)

2005-11-10T22:55:00.000+08:00

i cant wait for tmr! :) will be mtg kj for macs breakfast before heading to the national library! haha. it's really coincidental that both of us had the craving for macs breakfast on mon. great minds think alike eh. and we both want to visit the national library too. so yes, we're finally going tmr. yays :)

anw, today was a nice day. nice as in the weather la. i love rainy days. :) re-watched what a girl wants. haha. i cant get enough of it man. can watch it like a thousand times and not get bored. and! oliver james is so cute la. haha :) other than that, i managed to start on some hmk today. did alkenes tut and i realised how much ive forgotten. haha. stuff like chemistry dont stay for long in my brain. they tend to leave very quickly.

my msn connection is really pissing me off. while im typing this (and appearing offline), it has signed in and out by itself a thousand times alr! grrrr. seriously, what is its problem? :(

2005-11-10T11:44:00.000+08:00

alrighty! it's goodbye to PW forever! :) ytd was OP day and NY202 rocked! seriously ppl, we did well for presentation. yes, i agree with qinqi. tho our Q&A was pretty screwed, our presentation was great! anw, shant think abt it anymore. not until we get back our results. most imptly, it's alr over and that's one big burden off our chests. :)

as im typing this, three other grps from10A are currently waiting for their turns for OP. to NY198, NY199 and NY200: all the very best! you guys will definitely rock! :)))

hmm. im feeling hungry. shall go get my brunch now.

2005-11-09T08:22:00.000+08:00

in the school library now. having OP today and im supp to be mtg my grp earlier. but it's alr 8.23am and im stuck here wondering, 'where in the world is my entire group?' rahhh. i hope OP goes well later. pretty scared for Q&A. all the best to everyone for OP! (:

i cant wait for all these to be over man..PW kills. :(

2005-11-02T23:44:00.000+08:00

happy 17th birthday yiwen! (((:

yupyup. it's my dearie yiwen's bdae today! had lunch tgt with yayun and her today. thanks yayun for the lunch! had nice pizza hut lunch and a wonderful time catching up with them :) esp yayun! she seem's taller and darker now! ohwells. tanned would be a better word eh. anw, was nice to get out of the house for a change la. since i have been stuck at home doing nth the past few days. haha.

hmm. i realise that i shld not come to conclusions too quickly! haha. always thought that korean shows were draggy and boring but it's not true! after watching just two episodes of fullhouse at amanda's hse that day (the class bbq day), i was super in love with that show. but sadly, cable has just finished showing it. and i actually havent watched every episode yet! ohwells. and now, im like so addicted to jewel in the palace! otherwise known as 'da chang jin'. heh. to think that i was telling yonghui that it's a draggy and boring show. i was so wrong abt it. the show has a really nice plot and cable has just started to repeat the entire series so yes, i'll be kept busy every night. for at least two months i think. since the entire series is 70episodes! :)

ok. tmr is yet another public holiday. seriously, i have no idea what to do to keep myself occupied. suggestions anyone? :) but! i'll be mtg up with prc on fri so that's smth to look forward to this week. wld love to do sports tgt or just chill at someone's place :) shall tag at prc's now to give my two cents' worth on fri's outing. bye for now! :)

2005-10-31T14:53:00.000+08:00

was feeling kinda bored so i went to nanyang's council website. happily clicked on the link that says to download the SHORTLISTED list of OGLs click here. to find out that im not a shortlisted candidate! this is oh-so-depressing! :(

maybe i shldnt have taken things for granted..

2005-10-30T18:43:00.000+08:00

im back! :) i wonder if anyone actually comes here, since my tagboard's so empty. haha. anw, fri was the last day of sch. we got back our results and i am proud to announce that everyone in 05S10A got promoted! we were so excited when we saw that our class had 100% for 1A+2A0. and that of cos includes the entire PRC too! :) yay. so happy that we're all advancing to J2 next year, tho it seems a little fast. hmm. like in a years' time, we'll be mugging for our A's alr! :(

oh! and i think everyone in PRC's gonna be an ogl! so exciting! hmm. hope those of you who are thinking of withdrawing wont withdraw ok? i believe we can catch up fast enough even after missing 4days of lessons. moreover, being an ogl's gonna be so much fun! imagine PRC tgt! :)

ohwells. this wkend's been pretty ok i wld say. attended a seminar in church ytd by dr edward panosian from the US. he spoke on the providence of God and i think it was very relevant. i guess it's really true that man proposes, God disposes. went for cantata practice (it's this christmas thing my church is putting up) and as usual, i enjoyed it! :) singing tgt with the ensemble IS a huge difference. we seemed so much softer! but it was really nice. cant wait for the actual day! :)

daniel's organising this canoeing outing this thurs for the J1s in church. guess it'll be lots of fun but im still not sure if my PW grp's gonna meet up that day to rehearse for OP. so yeah. have to wait and see. but anws, there'll be another J1 outing at the end of the year so it's ok if i miss this one! heh.

argh. im having a terrible sore throat now. i wonder if it's due to the 6hours of singing at k-gardens on fri. haha. been eating quite alot of chocs recently too, so yeah. hope i recover soon! dont want it get worse cos i sense a fever coming. ): alrighty. shall end here. hugs ppl! :)

2005-10-24T20:49:00.000+08:00

PW is driving me nuts! like TOTALLY. spent the entire day with NY202 in sch to touch up on our OP slides, which i think still can be improved on. but yes, it's more or less pretty ok. i hope. anw, was really an intensive PW session. think 0740 to 1645. yes, that's how long we did PW for. excluding lunch of course. so right now, im super sian and tired. considering the fact that i slept for only 4+ hrs last night. but it's satisfying to see our slides done up and tho they're not so pretty, im still happy. it's the process that all matters to me la. like the group was working well tgt and all. cheers for NY202! :)

alrights. enough of PW.

ooh. pretty excited cos i think im going back to my sec sch this thurs! yupyup. to visit my dear teachers. been a really long time since i last saw them. and i'll be meeting up with yayun too! :) havent seen her in eons so im really happy that we're finally mtg up this thurs. :)

okays. shall see what i can do abt the OP slides and script now. PW is taking my entire life away man. every of my waking moment is spent on PW. grrrr. goodbye, life.

2005-10-21T23:29:00.000+08:00

highly irritating! was typing just now when my com restarted on it's own! and when i retyped my entry, internet explorer had problems. grrrrr. it's as irritating as my msn connection! i totally have no idea why i keep signing in and out. and the entire world has complained to me like a thousand times. and i still dont know what the problem is.

anw, today was the last official day of school. submitted WR in the morning and thank God that everything went ok :) ahhhh. am not in the mood to retype my entry. this is like the THIRD time. so irritating!

played tennis today and as usual, it was fun. and yancong's still as irritating as ever. ohwells. wasnt really in a tennis mood tho. had quite alot of stuff on my mind. like OP and all. but yes, i'll commit all these to God. :) hmm. sometimes, i really feel distant from Him and i dont like it. so yes, i endeavour to keep my walk with Him close and ppl, do pray for me k? :)

mtg my PW group tmr morning to work on our OP. really pray that it'll be a productive session and that we'll be able to get our slides done. some at least. it's quite scary cos i saw a few groups from other classes already looking through their slides! which means, they've alr completed them. ahhhh. this is so so scary. super stressful. i do hope everything can be over soon! :)

sighs. i think i'll end here. have lots to say but i really am not in the best of moods to type my entry all over again. okays, work hard for PW ppl! it'll be over soon :)))

2005-10-17T23:21:00.000+08:00

and so, it was my 17th birthday ytd. so yea. happy birthday to me. and to aik tiong as well :) i do feel kinda old now. sadly. it's like im gonna be J2 next year! and the a levels are gonna come real soon. and before i know it, i'll be in uni. time really does fly.

anw, my bdae ytd was pretty much like any other day. received quite alot of midnight smses. thanks to all who wished me! really appreciate every single person who remembered my birthday. it's really the thought that counts and i appreciate that. :) went to church, got a super nice and yummy slice of chocolate cake from siew li! was extremely touched. i guess it's the little things that ppl do that can bring a smile to my face. received a card from daniel too. really thoughtful of him.

went for lunch tgt with huimin and lysa. huimin treated! :) haha. was nice fellowshipping with the both of them after church. really am thankful that huimin's always there la. tho im not very close to her, she's like a big sister whom i know i can talk to and can count on for sound advice. she got me a flower too! really nice :) had dinner with my family. was also my aunt's birthday. hmm. it's really interesting that two of my mum's sisters are born on the same day as me. :)

YF celebrated the october babies' birthdays on sat too. hmm. havent been to YF for a long time cos of exams, so going back and celebrating my birthday felt kinda weird. but anws, i really thank God for YFers who are always there. tho im not exactly close to them, it sometimes helps to know that YFers are true christian brethren whom i can count on.

and it's jiahui's birthday today! and jasmine's and mingfen's! wow. i know like a thousand ppl who are born in october. :) had dinner tgt with kaijia, gouyue and jiahui just now to celebrate jh's birthday. had fish and co at the glass house. hmm. we're like the fish and co gang. it's always us eating fish and co tgt. haha. anw, hope jiahui enjoyed herself. did you, girl? happy 17th birthday! :) *love.

moving on to other stuff. got back promo results today. i JUST passed my gp. it's like really disappointing that my english standard has fallen to such a level. utterly disgusted. and was really sad that i failed compre that my tears just kept flowing. i hate it when i get back my results to find myself crying over spilt milk. it seriously sucks. overall, i did okay and i think i can get promoted. and i thank God for my grades. really. and for seeing me through the entire exam period. the Lord has really been good to me :)

hmm. i realised i have this tendency to type and type non-stop. haha. kinda bad cos i'll probably bore whoever's reading this. but just to end off, some birthday thoughts and endeavours. would really want to walk closer to the Lord and be consistent in QT. to serve in other areas in church and give my best for Him. to be actively involved in YF and get to know fellow YFers better. hmm. there are so many more, but just to add one more. to get promoted.

alrights. it's a really long entry and i'm feeling tired now. good night world.

2005-10-11T17:16:00.000+08:00

hmm. ytd was a great day :) click http://www.imagestation.com/album/pictures.html?id=2119260993">here for pictures!

watching fullhouse tgt with kaijia, van and amanda was fab. the show's nice and the company's equally good. breaking into van's hse tgt with van and gouyue was fun! haha. ok la, long story here. hmm. let's just say we got this adventure thanks to van's maid. :) tennis was great. tho i seriously need to practice more. haha. but i still had fun and now, my arms are aching. :(

hmm. class guys are pretty useless. couldnt even start the fire even after one hour. tsk. qinqi and gouyue did it eventually. :) anw, smth really disgusting. there were rats near our pit! the girls spent the entire night screaming. haha. but hey, it's rats we're talking abt. so yea. food was nice, tho i hardly ate but anws. company was fantastic. really enjoy being with my class, esp with PRC! =)

oh. was nice seeing amanda's parents again. heh. havent seen them in like a super long time. hmm. class celebrated october babies' birthdays ytd too. haha including me, there are 8 ppl! :) huge number man. like 1/3 of the class. edmund wasnt there tho. gouyue did a super nice card for each of us. thanks girl! -hugs-

ahh. not really in the mood to type la. but really enjoyed ytd alot. like finally the whole class can gather tgt and talk rubbish without worrying abt promos and all. ok la, now we're worrying abt our results. but i believe 05S10A will still be the same 05S10A next year! we rock dont we? :)

hmm. been spending my entire day watching vcds. borrowed from van this hk drama serial. super nice! haha. addiction yea. oh wells. met kaijia for awhile just now too. haha. we exchanged vcds! lent her some movies and got from her mvp qing ren and the superstar cd. yupyup.

haha as usual, random entry. off i go.

2005-10-08T11:10:00.000+08:00

haha. i havent been updating for eons, i realised. hmm. abt two mths? heh. anws ppl, im still alive. :)

alrights, some updates.

promos are officially over! :) super relieved and hmm. just feeling great la. it's like one big load off my chest. went out with the girls ytd. yup, my dear PRC! :) window shopped and had dinner ar marche. rosti was super satisfying! havent ate it in ages. then we just sat round the table and talked. until the marche ppl had to ask us to leave cos a long queue was forming outside. haha. anws, had a pretty good time ytd. met abra in the early aftnn too. short time spent tgt, but great company :)

oh. and i guess i havent mentioned that i dropped bio alr. hmm. guess taking 4subs aint exactly good. cant really cope well with 4subs and bio is sucha wordy subj! so many things to rem. and i seriously find econs much much more interesting. so yes, i will work hard for my remaining 3subs. tho i find it really hard to appreciate chem! someone help? :(

hmm. it's a saturday and here i am at home. i dont really know what to do actually. studying for exams kinda gets me occupied. but hey, exams are over. haha. ooh! there's cantata practice tonight. really enjoy those practices. btw, cantata is this christmas thingy that my church will be putting up. it's like the christmas story in song. really thank God for the chance to be part of it, since i wasnt able to participate in evening of praise last year. and yes, i'll be asking you ppl to go for it k! go listen to the christmas story. it'll be great and edifying :)

ahh. this whole post is super random. like bits and pieces, here and there. yea, my fault for not updating for so long! :( anw, there's class bbq on mon! oh yea. and i can FINALLY play tennis! super great. long time since i last played. alrights, tho i admit im not a good player. haha. but it's fun hitting the ball and of course, playing with 05S10A. kinda miss those friday mornings during our long break when the whole class would be playing tgt. ok, taking turns to play. how can 20+ ppl play tennis tgt? haha. hmm. ok that was retarded. but it's irritating cos yancong and kannan never fail to laugh at me when i play. heh. but it's all in the name of fun la. i love my class! :)

hmm. still thinking if i shld meet gouyue and the rest later. feeling kinda lazy and tired to go out today. but i do wanna go to candy empire! oh. and van's rebonding her hair now! wonder how she'll look like after rebonding. haha. we spent the entire night persuading her NOT to rebond. oh and S10A has so many 'scandals'! ok la, not many but enough to keep PRC occupied. haha. :)

it's ny's open house next week! and that's the only day i need to go to sch :) it clashes with tj's! i wanna go for tj's! i miss mass dance. that is, if they're gonna do la. and yes, i miss my eye candies too. haha. oh wells. and i miss trackers! runrunrun. :)

ok la. i shall stop. this entry's too long i think. will update regularly. i promise. haha. hmm. till next time. :)))

2005-07-24T16:30:00.000+08:00

alrights. shall update since there are so many requests for an update. haha. sorry ppl. sometimes, im just too lazy and yeah, tutorials are kinda eating up my time too. anw, here goes.

hmms i dont know where to start. okays, went out with the girls last sun to shop for collennie's present. haha i know that was so long ago! but anws, had fun! we walked arnd, took neos, and ate ALOT. really alot. hehs. and we basically talked abt anything and everything under the sun. yeah, and abt the guys in our class. TSKTSK. bad impressions yeah. oh wells. guys, what good can you say abt them? anw, had great fun with the girls :)

then, it was collennie's birthday on mon! gave her the present we bought [wallet] and sang her a birthday song. hope she liked it :) and, we took lotsa photos. haha. was quite crazy la. took photo after photo while waiting for clao LC. haha i dont take clao but was just being a kind soul to accompany them. HAHA. alrights, will put some photos up here for your viewing pleasure. heh.

basically the week was quite normal la. cant rem much. oh yeah. and last week was my daddy's birthday. heh. had sumptous dinner with dad's side of the family that night. and i made my daddy a present too. it's a scrapbook. kinda like his life story yup.

okays. im down with a fever. AGAIN. really terrible terrible you know. it's like im getting a fever the second time in this month! urgh. badbad. oh wells. hope i'll be well by tmr. then i wont miss sch. praying hard that i'll be ok by tonight :)

jiahui: haha. updated! :)

2005-07-08T21:10:00.000+08:00

got back my papers ytd. thankfully, i passed all four subs. havent gotten back gp tho. really really hope that i wont fail that. man, if i fail gp, that would be like so sad. alrights. even tho i passed, results werent that spectacular. got like CDDE. think my results are not too good, yet not too bad. looking on the bright side, if i get such grades for promos, plus a pass in gp, i'll get promoted. wells. self consolation i would say. time to buck up and study even harder.

anw, today was a happy day. havent laughed so hard and so much in a very long time mans. HAHA. laughed alot during pw meeting. think it was the first time our mtg was so fun. heh. im lovin it. laughed even more with the three gongs. enjoy their company lots. esp during our super long breaks like today. im beginning to love fridays more and more. fri's like 'break' day and it's my shortest day too. i end at 1510 cos i dont hav aftnn pe anymore yup.

oh our class is like gonna have two new tchers. ms ding (what a weird surname) for bio and i dunno who for chem. kinda glad that chem tutor's changing. think mrlim's tutorials are really slow moving and he can be pretty weird at times. [yeah, the light can bend thing. like huh?] ms ding's ok i think. her voice is not really pleasant to the ears tho. she goes like, "so class, you know hah..." and the 'hah' is like dragged. haha. ok i feel very mean. overall, she's nice la. but considering that it was her first lesson with us today, i shant be too sure abt that statement.

okays. i think i shall go watch some tv now.

2005-07-05T21:43:00.000+08:00

just saw the sms sent by siew li regarding the combined sunday sch class outing this sat. combined meaning both j1 guys and girls. meeting time ten in the morning. venue, yew tee station. (wait a minute. where in the world is yew tee?) activity, badminton. mygosh. how boring can the guys get?this time round, the guys were supp to organise the outing. and this is what we get. the last thing i heard abt the outing was that it wld be at botanic gardens and there wld be a treasure hunt. guys. tsktsk. =x

im seriously considering if i want to go for it. considering the fact that yew tee is probably somewhere really far away since i hardly know where it's located. but ohwells. at least the guys made an effort to plan smth. haha.

hmms. managed to complete two newspaper article reviews today. and COUNTING. i am determined to finish all four by tonight. [yes mel, you can do it!] it's pretty interesting to flip through old newspapers to search for that ONE article that really is good and well, to a large extent, pleasing to mrs tks' eyes. like what she said 'do choose your articles sensibly'. urgh.

2005-07-04T13:48:00.000+08:00

guess what? im down with a fever. so great huh. that's why i cldnt make it for william's surprise farewell dinner and 4I's gathering ytd. uber depressing i would say. i miss 4I like nuts and i actually missed the gathering. =x pai pai, organise another one soon alrights?

yeah as i was saying. im down with a fever. woke up ytd morn and felt warm. terrible terrible. went to church and still felt terrible. came home aft lunch and took my temp. 38.1 degrees. just great. popped a panadol into my mouth and went to sleep. woke up feeling worse. watched the nkf thingy and felt a little better during the night. but alas, before i slept, my temp was 38.6 degrees. super great la. but thank God, i woke up this morning and felt so much better. tho my throat still hurt like super terribly. and so, im stuck at home today. AGAIN. was supp to meet abra and wensx for shopping. but oh wells, my folks made me stay at home. therefore, ive decided to start on my gp hmk today. i think. haha.

currently listening to bad day by daniel powter. this song's really nice. and the mtv's really really cool and interesting! right, abra? heh. was on the phone with her last thurs when the mtv was shown on tv. yupyup. :)

okays. i wanna change my template. getting really sick of the current one.

2005-07-01T23:40:00.000+08:00

there's smth wrong with my tagboard. why is it so weird? someone help? =x

2005-07-01T21:58:00.000+08:00

went to watch the judo competition today. hmms pretty cool experience i would say. it's really hard to imagine what some girls really are. heh. on the outside, demure they may look. but when it comes to judo, oh my. they shout, tug, pull and pin each other down as mightily as they can. therefore, i conclude that judo is a scary sport. to me at least. it's smth that i dont think i wld ever try. but it really is exciting to watch :) oh yup! and i forgot to mention that qinqi got third placing!! congrats girl! told ya you could do it! you were great man. TOTALLY. jiayou for the team competition next week too ya? :))

aft the comp, kaijia and i went to compasspoint. like how boring is that place? anws, went to the library and i borrowed a book. wonder if i will ever finish it tho. haha. walked arnd aimlessly for i dunno how long before we went home. so that was basically how i spent my day. shucks. i need to get started on gp hmk soon! someone pls bug me to do my hmk. please? please?

2005-06-29T23:22:00.000+08:00

mid-years are over. and so will my life be when the papers get back to me. im like so dead. i screwed up in like almost every paper. seriously, i dont think i'll do exceptionally well this time. hope this spurs me on to work extra hard for promos. but i really want to thank God for seeing me through the 3days of exams. minimal sleep and yet i was able to concentrate during the exam and do the papers (though not well done). lynette and lysa were really nice too! the sms-es they sent to me were great encouragements :) just to share two verses that i particularly liked and which kept me going.

Isaiah 26:3 "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee"
Matthew 21:22 "And whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive"

alrights. enough of midyrs. so depressing. on a lighter note, went out with the girls to watch war of the worlds. wow. that movie's really nice. would recommend it to all to watch. steven spielberg's a superb moviemaker man. everything was like so real during the movie. yeah. so real that i was freaked out and scared. jiahui and i were like hiding behind our jackets. lol. our heart were also beating at an exceptionally fast rate and our legs were kinda jelly after the movie. heh. this shows that i have a weak heart and am not cut out for any form of horror whatsoever. walked a little arnd town with them too. and we're planning a shopping trip next week! haha cos we dont have lessons for like one week from now. cool eh? cos midyrs are still going on, but we're done alr! :)

okays. church camp. ahhhh. how i miss those days at awana. the weather was fantabulous, the msges were precise and to the point, the fellowship was warm and i had so much fun. really enjoyed this camp and i look forward to the next one! though it's like alvls next year, darrenn said that "we j1s must make it a point to go for church camp next year". heh. and i think i will.

just to give a brief summary of the camp. we took a train to kl before changing to a coach to awana. trust me, the train ride was fun but LONG. it took us 7 hours! studied a little on board but most of the time was spent playing uno. haha. well, had two msges everyday; one in the morning and another at night. then, yfers had dorm devotion after the last msg. good time of fellowship i would say:) went swimming on one of the days and went shopping at genting on another. heh. lysa and deborah bought shoes that were really cheap and pretty:)

that was basically what happened during the camp. was indeed a full five days of spiritual retreat and fellowship with lifers. played with alot of little kids too. heh. they're really cute! oh wells. that's just so me to play with kids. there is so much i have to say abt church camp, but if i were to type out everything, it'll take forever. so, if u do wanna know more, ask me! :)

okays. as i said, i have a week's worth of break from school. with so much time at hand now, i dont know what to do. oh wait. i do have smth to do. argh. gp hmk that was totally untouched during the holidays. sigh. i see myself cutting newspaper articles and writing reflections for the next few days. what a sad post exam life :(

2005-06-12T18:27:00.000+08:00

argh. so depressing. i just had my haircut and now, my hair's super short. told the hairdresser the wrong length. urghhh. so so depressing =x

anw, think i'll go pack my stuff for camp now.

2005-06-11T23:10:00.000+08:00

happy birthday mum! :)))

today has been really tiring. woke up real early for sunday school class outing. yup. picnic at bishan park. kinda pathetic cos only sheryl, lysa and i turned up. including the two tchers. had fun tho :) nice breakfast prepared by siew li. she cooked some mushroom and bacon thingy for the bread. yummilicious. had egg and crabmeat fillings too. went cycling aft that. oh. smth to be proud of..sheryl and i successfully taught lysa how to cycle! :) it was so fun teaching her cos she's so cute la. she was so scared she'd crash into a tree or lamp post or kill someone. LOL. spent the whole morning with the two of them and i really thank God for the great time and fellowship we had! looking forward to more during church camp :)

that brings me to my next point. going away for church camp from mon to fri. at awana genting resort. yup. really looking forward to it. my first ever church camp! :) the theme for the camp is diligence to the end. pray that i'll benefit from the msges. oh yeah! i'll be rooming with lysa. bet we wont catch any sleep at all the last night. just like yf camp last year when we chatted all the way till 4am tgt with weiyan and sheryl. that girl's a darling and i really thank God for the friendship we have. it's been almost 8 years!! not forgetting shu'en too. she's the bestest sista one cld ever ask for. miss the days when we three were always tgt.

anw, had CG day at celeste's hse today. BS was good. the passage we were going through was really thought-provoking. ephesians 3:1-14. abt finding our identity with the gospel, just like paul. cldnt join them for combined yf dinner at lysa's place tho. went to celebrate my mama's bdae. heh. i love my mum :)

oh wells. went out with the clique ytd. only 6 of us turned up tho. hmms was kinda depressing cos i didnt buy anything when i actually planned to do so. so actually, it wasnt retail therapy for me. was more of window shopping. anw, still enjoyed meeting up with all of them. esp mojo. been so long since i last saw her. took neoprints and they were really good:) anw, walked arnd for a pretty long time arnd town. did smth which i think was really mean. shldnt have done what i did. oh wells. no use talking abt it now since it's alr over. argh.

hmms. there's supposed to be this pri sch class gathering next sun. at sentosa. at siloso beach. ahhh. reminds me of s10a. :) anw, dunno if i shld go. i definitely cant meet them at 1030 for goodness' sake cos i need to go to church! and aft that, i'd be damn tired cos i would have woken up really early. and seriously, i dont think i'll be that missed if i dont go. haven been keeping in contact with the bulk of them since i dunno when. guess im not really as close to them as i thought. tsk tsk. and so, i conclude that i wont be going for the gathering. i think. unless someone convinces me. hah.

this entry's really long i realised. well since i wont be updating for at least a week, this shld make up for everything. heh. alrights. shld be zooming off to bed soon. real tired and i gotta wake up early for church tmr. till next time, take care and God bless :)))

2005-06-09T12:52:00.000+08:00

am in the sch library now. was studying in the morning and now, im doing some dumb gp hmk. have to read this super long time magazine article and do an EoM. and mind you, the article is 4 pages long with tiny font. urghh. oh yah. to be handed in by tmr. and cos i so totally dun wanna come back just to hand in the work and also cos i'll be gg shopping with the clique tmr, i decided to do it now and hand in today. but, i dont know how to do it. that's wad's making me so depressed. URGH. and basically, nobody's helping me either. pretty pissed abt it but shall not say further here.

shall think of happier things to lighten my mood.

oh yup. got smth to look forward to. shopping with the clique tmr! :) retail therapy yea! miss all of you guys lots. all the laughing, crapping, eating and everything. cant wait for tmr. -bounces up and down-

ahhhh. i still dunno how to continue my EoM. so irritating.

and i still gotta study for midyrs. super super irritating. why must they have them after the hols? then there actually isnt any point of calling them holidays. might as well just say study leave or smth. the education system..tsk tsk.

anw, ive managed to typed more stuff for my EoM. yayness. but im only at abt 200 words. i need 600!! =x

i realised that this whole entry is so out of point and incoherent. haha. was just blogging to pass time la. since i didnt know how to do the EoM. alrights. im seriously bored now. i wanna go home and sleep. -yawns

2005-06-03T20:51:00.000+08:00

haha im back for an update :)

time really flies man. it's like the end of the first week of hols! and i havent done much. apart from the extra lessons in sch la. but seriously, i feel they've been rather fulfilling. sometimes i just like going back to sch during the hols. pretty weird huh. haha. oh. speaking of hol lectures, it was mrchan's last lecture/tutorial with us on wed! was very shocked when he announced it. sighness. will miss him alot can. he's like the best bio tutor one can ever have. really nice and friendly guy. dont think he ever scolded my class before. hmms he's going to xiamen to study chinese medicine. like huh? he says it's challenging. oh wells. wish him all the best tho i hope he can continue teaching in ny.

argh. and i realised i havent updated abt sentosa yet. oh wells. shall upload the pictures later. a picture says a thousand words yea. :)

anw, had some level camp last thurs and fri. it was quite retarded la. the trainer's always 'celebrating' for no reason. ppl in my class got pissed off after sometime. but seriously, it was irritating la. celebrate and celebrate. but the web phobia game on the 2nd day really bonded my class tgt. yayness. tho we had to go out of the hall TONS of times, it was really a game which put the class spirit to the test. surprisingly, nobody blamed anyone when we had to go out of the hall. we just went out, discussed what went wrong, did our special cheer and went back in. i love my class. =)

and since the camp, the class is more united and fun! it's like everyone's beginning to open up more. which is really good. been talking more to ppl whom i seldom talked to in the past and it's really nice to get to know my classmates better. BUT. i still miss 4I. thot of you guys some part during the camp and i teared. really. sighness. really really miss those days when we cheered, mugged and did almost everything tgt. told yiwen abt it after the camp and was really glad to hear her comforting words. thanks girl :)

oh yup. i really wanna mug during the hols. shucks. i just hope i have the discipline to do so. most prob will be going back to sch tgt with kaijia to study. arghh. midyrs. midyrs. so irritating! but i also hope to be able to meet up with the clique someday. next fri yup. cant wait. miss crapping and laughing with you guys. =)

oh yea. the sch's name's gonna be changed to chung cheng jc. how gross and disgusting. hope the petition will work man. i dont wanna be a ccjcian. i am and always will be an nyjcian.

alrights. shall reply some tags now.
jas: thanks for tagging! miss u loads too. hope everything's fine for you yea? we shall meet up real soonnnnnn! -hugs-
abra: haha. i realised u're always the one asking for updates. heh. updated! oh and one more thing. all the best for your competition! jiayou.
xinhui: woah. pls dont be so fierce can. anw, updated alr. and i haven seen you for a long time too! oh! i've learnt how to play bridge alr! :))))
qinqi: yea man. 05S10A rocks biggg time! -smiles-

2005-05-25T22:33:00.001+08:00

05S10A rocks my socks!! :) had a fabulous time with them at sentosa today! yupyup. had no sch. went to siloso beach. nicenice. celebrated yancong's bdae with cake and jia jia liang teh. haha. only 10A peeps will understand the liang teh part. lol.

had lotsa fun and i think the class is pretty much bonded alr. yups. so i dont really know what purpose the camp we have tmr and fri will serve. anw, we sorta alr plan to rubbish in the hall tmr since other ppl said that the camp was boring. hmms the remaining junk food we have plus reversi? LOL. so funny.

oh wells. im burnt and tired so i'll update abt sentosa some other day. and abt yf retreat too. it was really good and spiritually uplifting:)

hmms today's a nice day and date. 250505. -smiles-

S10A rocks. this is like so true. =)

2005-05-20T17:27:00.000+08:00

alrights. today was great. as in FAB. our gpp has been FINALLY approved! like wow. it was the first time tks spoke so nicely to us can. haha. and i'm leaving for yf retreat soon! yayness. cant wait for the sweet fellowship with yfers once again. will be back to update more. i gotta rush off now. so see ya ppl! =)

2005-05-13T23:22:00.000+08:00

yayness. listening to speedy now. one of tjc's mass dance songs. oh how i miss the days of O1 where we danced like nobody's business. and how we formed a circle and kicked our ogls for speedy. haha. that was sure fun man. =)

-zaps back to reality-

haha. so dumb. anw, this week was quite a good week for me. on wed, the whole sch went to toa payoh sports hall to support both the guys and girls teams for vball finals. whoosh. so cool can! like the whole sch's there rooting for the two teams.

so we were at the sports hall. it was super packed. half the hall was filled with nyjcians and the other, with jjcians. atmosphere was super high cos everyone was just cheering and shouting..even BEFORE the competition started. haha. but it was fun la. girls lost to jj. but the match was exciting. three cheers for ny girls vball team! den the guys team came on. playing against tj. was happy to see a familiar shade of green. yup! saw so many ppl once again. roshini, my track capt! saw her first but wasnt sure if it was her. den she msged me and said," hey! i see you!" =) saw pris and hanxi from across the hall. wasnt able to meet up with them tho. also saw zeling, yongqi, yewboon, meihui and all the hse capts!! some SC ppl were also there and i think they sorta recognised me. =) so nice. anw, the match was super fast-moving and ny won! yayness. cheers for them :)))

when tj was doing their cheers, i cheered along too. haha. cant help it la. whenever i hear, say TEE! i will go TEEEEE!! and so on. then the thunderation cheer. wah. wanted to jump with them too la. but cannot. =x their cheers are so much nicer than ny's. haha. we spent like 3-4 hours going N..Y..J C.. and some other not so interesting cheers. but we cheered really loudly and we were all so united! hmms. tj spirit was high. but not as high as ny's. that's for sure. there were so few supporters for tj. unlike ny where the whole sch went. hmmm.

okays. enough of vball. got back econs and bio test papers this week. satisfied with results and i really thank God :) managed to get an A for econs and a C for bio. but im sure i'll do badly for maths. oh man. i need to brush up on math. oh yah. and gp essay test. think i wont do well either. i wrote rubbish.

anw, cleared napfa today too. disappointed with my sit and reach tho. worst results ever. shucks. but glad that i managed to clinch my gold! no more afternoon pe=) yayness. kk. too much rubbish alr. shall stop here. and i'll TRY to update regularly. oh crap. i feel hungry now.

let's go nanyang, let's GO! let's go nanyang, let's GO!

2005-05-07T12:31:00.000+08:00

well well. im finally updating. like after a long long time. but thankfully, since my prev entry, life has been getting better for me. is that smth to be happy abt? i guess so.

been bonding well with S10A i guess. esp the non-clo ppl. haha we always have fun slacking and crapping when the rest of the class has chi lessons. feel so blessed to not be taking clo. yup yup. the library's our usual slacking place. and if we're fortunate enough, discussion room 2 will be ours! alrights. we dont purely slack. we do work as well k. yup. and ive been enjoying bus rides home with kaijia and elton. so fun la those two ppl. and kaijia's got me addicted to peanut pancake. haha it's niceeeee :))

oh wells. got my pw grp alr. me, qinqi, yonghui, edmund and zhihong. wooosh. supposed to be discussing online now but my connection's screwed up and i dont seem to be able to receive any messages from them. bahhhhhh. i feel so useless. and it's all msn's fault.

anw, was really happy ytd. went to tj for luyuan. oh my gosh. it so totally rocked!! really nice and meaningful scripts. had to take a long time before i could understand them, for the chi idiot i am. but was able to comprehend them eventually. haha. nice nice. had dinner opp the sch before the event. saw so many ppl! yongqi, sihui, shihern, and a whole lotta tj ppl. went back tj and saw angie, lixuan, weiling and my senior peishan!! super touched that she still rem me. saw teresa too!! gave her a hug tho she was like sticky aft tkd. haha. love tj. love tj.

k fine. pw really sucks. BIG TIME.

2005-04-10T22:42:00.000+08:00

i think i need to be more independent. and seriously, i must stick to my stand and NOT get stressed out by what other ppl are doing. only this way will i be able to work well and do maximum. yup, by going at my own pace and prioritising my time correctly. and yes, i have the LORD with me, so why shld i fear? :)

oh. did i mention that i cant stand hypocrites? yeah. i totally dont wanna have anything to do with ppl who are so fake. arghh. there's sch tmr and i am NOT looking forward to it. i hate my timetable cos i end past four EVERY SINGLE DAY. and my class isnt making my life any better. they can be nice, but on the other hand, they can ignore me like im some alien. i just wish i was back with scg 23/05. i miss them like CRAZY. so if your class is nice and u're so popular with your new class, dont tell me. cos im not interested and i dont wish to hear anything.

anw, i met up with val, jiemin and teresa on fri. yea. i miss them sooooo much. had dinner with them and we took neoprints. great memories man. then we had macs icecream and we just sat at macs for like almost two whole hours chatting and catching up. haha. and tree was bitching so much la. haha. oh man. i wanna see them again. love them all.

yeah. as u can see, life isnt getting on too good for me.

and i miss another person. ABRA. where are you?? i feel like crying. after reading your blog entry abt us going home tgt aft sch and trng, i felt so sad. those were the days and i miss those days. it's so weird having to be in sch without you. cos i'd always call/sms u in sch asking for ur whereabts then i'll go meet you. or vice versa. it's so terrible now that i cant do that anymore. i wanna meet up with you sometime this week. then we can talk and talk like there's no tmr. i have so much to tell you. or rather, complain abt. and u're always the first person i turn to. i feel so bad having to make u listen to me complain all the time. but, let's meet up alright? love you truckloads.

sighs. i feel so useless. i said i wanna be independent and here i am missing ppl all over again. i thot i wld be ok alone in a new environment. i thot i cld survive. HAHA. what a big fat joke. i need time. lots and lots of time.

so, to ppl who have evil intentions: SHOO. dont even try coming close to me. just get lost. i need breathing space.

2005-04-05T22:11:00.000+08:00

HAHA. im finally updating. like wow.

well well. sch has been pretty dull the past two weeks. lectures are more like revision for me cos ive learnt those topics back in tj during first three mths. haha. and that's why i ponned quite alot of lectures last week. wasnt in the mood so yah. but. i realised that ponning isnt good at all. [yays. mel has finally come to her senses.] and so, since the mid of last week or so, ive faithfully attended all my lectures! including today. urgh. had lectures for all the subs i took can! had chem, maths and econs one aft another in the same lt somemore. yes, and my butt hurt aft sitting at the same seat for three whole hours. =x

and oh. got my class last week. 05S10A. my classmates seem pretty nice :) and amanda's in the same class as i am! how interesting. ive known her ever since i was born. haha. ok not so extreme but yea ive known her for a very long time. cos we were ex-churchmates.

went back to tj last tues to visit trackers and pass the stuff to cj and roshini. yays. had a nice time taking photos. awwwww. how i miss them all.

and tj's o-nite was a blast. met up with angie, tree and pris. yays. og6 rocks tho we're super unenthu. glad to see them again :) and VAL too! that pig. she cried when she saw us! miss her so terribly. oh she looked great in mj uniform. think orientation ended well. mass dance rocks. tj cheers rock. and they played graduation as the finale. "as we go on..."

shucks. getting timetables tmr. which means tutorials will be starting soon.

oh. brown isnt too bad a colour aft all. and im so used to seeing brown now, i think it rocks. haha. [wow. did mel actually say that?]

i think my whole entry is so random and redundant.

2005-03-27T17:05:00.000+08:00

okays ppl. my appeal was NOT successful. cried alot. was really really upset that i cld not make it back to tj. cut-off was partial 7. yada yada..im just one pt short la!! argh. competition too stiff this year i guess. but. but. i still wanna go back to TJC!!!

wasnt really enjoying myself at nanyang but i guess i'll get used to it after awhile. please do pray for me to adapt as soon as possible so i'll be able to start mugging. yays. MUG.

oh. bought stuff for seniors tgt with abra and yayun. going back to tj on tues! and fri for o-nite!! *cheers* man. think i'll cry during o-nite. guess that'll be the last time i'll ever step into tj. to friends who are still in tj: do keep me updated abt stuff happening there k? thks.

oh! think i'll be going for beta hse function too. angie asked me to go cos i alr paid for it. heh. sigh. feel kinda sad having to give up my post as beta cg rep. =x

i miss so many ppl and things in tj.

went to check on my appeal on thurs evening den went to the hawker centre opp the sch for dinner with my fam. SIGH. the hawker centre. i'll miss going there for cg/og lunches. anw, saw meihui there and told her abt my appeal. she then gave me a hug. i was so damn touched can! she also asked me to go for o-nite. oh my goodness. she's so nice. and! the night before, jie min sent me an sms to cheer me up. was really comforted to know that ppl actually cared. there are others like val, pris, angie, marcus, zhiyong and juleng. SIGH. that's why i cant bear to leave tj.

i know ive been going on and on abt how much i miss tj, but i just cant help it. i need time to get over this. somebody help?

oh. going to buy uniforms soon i think. and i seriously dont anticipate wearing a BROWN uniform. i rather be in GREEN. oh wells.

*shouts* mel, get a life. you're no longer in tj. everything that happened for the past 3 mths are but just memories now. move on with life! you are an NYJCian now, like it or not.

i really cant stand the education system here. period.

2005-03-22T20:52:00.000+08:00

ny's o-packs cost so much more than tj's. 20bucks is ALOT. =x

wonder how it'll be like for me in ny tmr. anticipation? to a certain extent, yes.

2005-03-22T11:46:00.000+08:00

got my posting results alr. feeling quite ok abt it since i sorta expected the outcome.

guess i'll be feeling this way till thurs when the appeal results are out. wonder what will happen then. it'll decide where i'll be for the next two years.

i'll miss alot of stuff. really. ALOT.

having been here for 3 mths, i really am bonded to the sch, my scg and pdp mates and seniors. most imptly, my scg. 23/05!!! the whole class is like disbanded la. some ppl gg better jcs, some changing combi and others cant stay on. was very touched when yeh hao asked all those who cldnt make it to appeal. cld tell that he was sincere in wanting the scg to stay tgt.

twentythree-oh-five.

i'll miss the trackers too. thing is, quite a no. of ppl cldnt make it back to tj too. wonder why. ahhhh. my seniors!! roshini and cj are really really nice and sweet ppl. :) they rock like totally. no. all trackers rock. :)

2005-03-19T23:19:00.000+08:00

i think huangcheng rocked. did not regret going for it, tho it ended so late and i reached home past midnight. everything was so nice, so heartwarming. all three plays were interesting in their own unique way. cos the plays weren't like the mundane kinds..those 'one day, this this this happened, then that happened blah blah'. the plays were put up in this really special way, not straightforward, yet you can understand the meaning of it. and the content of the plays were also fab. they were truly touching and sensational :) esp the last part when the whole cast and crew were singing tgt. could really see their elation upon the successful completion of the prog. it was a job well done :)))

hmms. the hols are ending. arghhh. it's been one week and i haven actually done alot.

posting results gonna be out soon. i pray that the Lord's will be done. whether or not i can stay in tj, it's all in His hands. :)

think i better go sleep now. oh. gonna support tj trackers tmr yeah! trackers rock big time!! jiayou to all competing tmr. you can do it!

2005-03-16T21:52:00.000+08:00

was supposed to go for leo camp but i didnt. not that i purposely pon it or smth k. obviously i cant run arnd in sentosa playing games and trying to find out who murdered kee liang. all because i fell down during trng on thurs. yes. on the track. on the bright red track of TJC. urgh. now, my knees hurt badly and my skin is somewhat spliting. was very swollen on fri night aft the sun sch gathering at poon chin's condo. tell you, maplewoods sure has superb food at it's cafe man! ok. shant digress. anw, reached home pretty late and was crying in pain la. was really painful k! in the end, aft parents' advice, decided to forgo the camp since i wont be enjoying myself (cos i'd be limping throughout).

was super pissed (and i still am) abt my fall. IF mrteo hadn't asked us to run again, i wldnt have fallen. he's sucha sickening coach can! was doing baton passing for abt 100m tgt with clara and yayun. we did like i dunno how many sets alr and he still asked us to continue. fine. we ran. clara started off too quickly and i wasnt able to catch up with her la. so, i FELL. and guess wad? mrteo didnt even know i fell can!! which goes to say, he wasnt even looking at us when we were doing the sets! shit him. ok. im being very mean here, but he's really like that la! always putting his attn on the guys only. even when we were leaving, he was still talking to the guys. urgh.

shant talk abt him anymore. booooo.

had a fun last day of sch. yay. twentythree-oh-five rocks! we were on this really crazy photo-taking marathon. haha. whenever there was a break or free period, we'd just snap. whole class wasnt there tho. some ppl leaving, some changing combi. sigh. i'll miss 23/05!! oh! we mass ponned maths tut on fri. didnt have bio tut cos mrtay went with the climbing ppl to mt ophir. it was lunch aft that, den maths. so, we spent the supposedly bio period taking photos and went out for lunch aft that. den! mrwong actually called some ppl and asked where the class is. he msged terence also and we replied him la. haha. and cos we missed his tut last fri, we have to makeup for it during the hols. felt kinda guilty aft that, but ohwells. dont think he was angry with our class anw. =x

okays. some shots we took on fri :)

some of the guys.

some of the girls.

we were supposed to be kicking valerie. haha. [im a tk girl!]

2005-02-27T23:02:00.000+08:00

getting results tmr. trying hard not to be worried cos the marks are already finalised. and i trust that it's the best God has for me:) results will depend whether i can stay in tj. hope to stay but if it doesnt permit me, then i have no choice. unless i appeal through track since roshini and cj said they'll try and help if we do need an appeal. sigh. i hope i dun have to appeal.

wonder how the atmosphere will be like in sch tmr. tj as well as nc.

checked my mail just now. received one particular mail which got me quite happy. it may be of no significance to others, but i just felt glad tho it was those kinda 'everyday' mails. haha.

i love my scg. now that we're getting more bonded, we have to split. sighs. really love the ppl there to bits and pieces. they're lame, crappy, fun, smart and just cool! really enjoy the times spent tgt with them. the scg lunches, sitting tgt during lectures, laughing at mr wong (haha), swimming lessons, and the list goes on and on. i practically spend my whole day with them! :) hope we dont get separated. sighs.

there are so many other ppl i dun wish to be separated from. my dearest ANGIE. she's the first friend i made in tj and she rocks. same og, different cg and scg. but we're both beta cg reps and we love our house! hope we can pass the interview and be ogls tgt:) this girl is truly one of a kind. she makes my day man. lovelove.

missed the gathering today with idealistic peeps. guess they had loads of fun. was too tired and had lots of work to complete so i cldnt go. sorry ppl. will be seeing them tmr. results. results.

just received an sms frm xiaoxia (my ogl). 'good luck, my beloved ogms, support you always!=)' simple, sweet and touching. that's one of the reasons why i dun wanna leave tj. my seniors. i love them loads.

there's still sch tmr and i have 3 lectures to attend before i can go back and collect my results. hope i can concentrate. ahhhhh.

finally did smth which i havent done in a long time. aint gonna reveal what it is, but i feel good and extremely happy. i wanna do it again tmr. if i have enough courage, that is. =x

kaes. signing off now. shld be going to bed alr. seeya guys and all the best. God bless! :)

2005-02-11T23:59:00.000+08:00

okays. i shld be sleeping but here i am typing away. visiting an old folk's home tmr as part of leo's activities. yup, im in ole and it rocks. haha. junming actually sent out an sms to inform us of leo mtg today by starting of with 'merry xmas' cos he said this wld attract attn since ppl wld delete msges str8 away upon seeing 'happy cny'. how lame. anw, seniors in tj really rock la. they're like so nice and friendly. track seniors, leo seniors, ALL seniors. haha. :)

ahhh. i realised ive been talking alot lately. (yes, abra. i realised it.) i just talk and talk. non-stop. haha. the ride home on the bus today was niceee. with abra and yayun. it's nice how we can go home tgt everyday. the long bus ride doesnt seem so long anymore with their company. really thank God for them. :) and today on the ride home, i talked so much i think i was crapping at some point. seriously, i was. i dunno why but when we came to that topic i just -blahhh- everything out. it was so full of crap la. *screams* i cant believe i crapped that much. =x shall shut up from today onwards and open my mouth only when there's a need. shucks. like that's possible.

okok. i shld go sleep now. was just typing for the sake of typing. this whole entry's like super redundant. whateverr. i'll try and update as often as i can. tho i dont know how often often will be. bye for now.

2005-01-20T23:12:00.000+08:00

im finally updating this blog which somehow turned rusty since the new year started. :) okays, shall do a quick summary of my past 3wks in tj. haha. it rocks totally! ppl, agree? :)))

orientation was superb! really great and was loads of fun. was in og6 (biblys rock!) and had super enthu ogls. haha. esp benedict. the rest were..let's see..xiao xia, lan anh, eileen, shin fei and tian yi. oh yah. my ogls are super smart ppl k! scholars, top in fmaths, 2nd in standard. hmph. i want their brains. haha. they were great ppl who helped bond our og tgt. well, we're not really that bonded, but..yah..we're still bonded. heh. this sounds so crap.

anw, had talks, games and mass dance everyday. tiring but really really fun. enjoyed every moment of orientation! renaissance'05!! oh yah! the coolest thing is that we went to suntec's fountain of wealth to do our mass dance!! we all just gathered tgt and when the music started, we just danced. we were not supposed to do any cheers cos they didnt want others to know we're frm tj but in the end, royston (SC pres) asked my grp to lead the tj cheer. haha. it was just so cool can! cheering our hearts out at the fountain of wealth. :)

o-nite was the best. my grp was one of the grps chosen to present our item that night. heh. we did a skit. it was, well..somehow linked to the tsunami disaster. hmms. but i had great fun rehearsing tgt with my og. haha. had this pageant thingy too. marcus, frm my grp and rachel (og2) won most compatible couple. yays! they didnt win the title of mr/ms renaissance tho. anw, everyone didnt want to go home tho we were supposed to end at 10pm. had mass dance session again. all the way till 11plus. oh yah. didnt win best og or best clan either. heh. nvm, i still think biblys and aquosus rock! clan master jansen rocks too!

had clan outing the next day. gave cards to our ogls, jansen and royston. orientation wldnt have been so fun without them! esp ppl from SC. oh man, they rock totally!! and they are super cool dudes man! *three cheers for SC* yays!

ookays, shall digress a lil. started tutorials proper ytd. today's timetable was super packed and tiring. but i guess we all have to adapt to this new system. oh yah. joined track and leo club. hehs. track so far has been quite tough (for me, at least) cos i havent been training for like 4yrs. havent really started leo yet, but im sure it'll be loads of fun:)

guess i'll end here. think i've been saying too much. well, do enjoy reading whatever ive typed cos who knows when my next update will be. haha. :)

p/s: i really wanna stay in tj aft first 3mths. i really want to!!

2005-01-01T16:10:00.000+08:00

blessed new year!

haha. i know i haven been updating. just tooo lazy lahh. anw, yf camp was fun and the msges were really relevant and good. topic was: who are you walking with? had sweet and warm fellowship with the rest and got to know more ppl too:) aiyah, there's just too much i have to say abt the camp. to sum up, it was a time of fellowshipping and learning of God's word tgt. thank God for the camp comm who made it so enjoyable! =)

okays. sch's starting in two days' time. so fast! cant believe the hols are ending alr. bleahh. oh wells. my ogl called me two days back. hmms. she sounds nice:) haha. alrights. but we have to report at 7am! gotta pull myself out of bed that morning man. =x anw, hope orientation will be fun and cool~haha. cant wait for sch to start? hmms can say so i guess. getting quite bored stoning at home alr. kinda miss studying. oh wells. shall end here. will update on orientation. haha. i promise! ohh and to those going tj, seeya guys on mon! :)

2004-12-19T14:07:00.000+08:00

2004-12-13T14:31:00.000+08:00

blogger screwed up on me. urgh. wasted my time can! typed one entry and *poof* it was gone. dont feel like retyping the whole thing alr. so sian. but still, i shall summarise what i typed just now.

went to mr ho's hse ytd and had great fun with the idealistic peeps. discussed rgrding class mag, ate (mr ho's carrot cake was fab!), chatted, took photos, watched 'luo shen' (vcd) and just crapped lah. wanna say a big thank you to jas and yufang for the gifts from shanghai and korea too! ahhhh. i miss 4I alr. wonder when we'll meet again.

then, went for 6aa'00 class chalet bbq. only 13 of us were there. umm..me, meiting, atiqah, cheryl, sab, chaoqun, kevin, guanhong, horace, benson, huaili, mervyn and aaron. was bored when i first got there cos there was totally nth to do. just stoned. when the fire was started, the guys started bbq-ing and we just ate lah. watched the star awards tgt too. food was great! didnt manage to talk to all of the ppl tho. oh wells. was quite ok overall lah.

i realised that ive missed out on alot of things. it's like when ppl start talking abt smth blah blah..i'd be like 'huh? what happened? how come i dont know?' it's either ppl dont bother to tell me or i dont bother to find out. but im guessing it's the former. not that im a kaypoh and must know everything. it's just that..friends shld share right? whatever. it's me and my weird logic again.

2004-12-03T22:51:00.000+08:00

that's what friends are for//

And I never thought I'd feel this way
And as far as I'm concerned
I'm glad I got the chance to say
That I do believe I love you
And if I should ever go away
Well then close your eyes and try
To feel the way we do today
And then if you can remember ...

Keep smiling, keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me, for sure
That's what friends are for
For good times and bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for

Well you came and opened me
And now there's so much more I see
And so by the way I thank you
And then for the times when we're apart
Well then close your eyes and know
These words are coming from my heart
And then if you can remember ...

Keep smiling, keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me, for sure
That's what friends are for
In good times and bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for

Keep smiling, keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me, for sure
That's what friends are for
For good times and bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for

Keep smiling, keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me, for sure
That's what friends are for
For good times and bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for
(*Thats what friends are for*)

ahhh. im back. was just too lazy to blog for the past few days. well let's see..had grad nite dinner on tues. was also lysa's bdae on that day. (:

okays. grad nite/prom was, to me okay. at least the sch didnt screw up on this impt event. didnt think it was too bad. neither was it very fantastic. it was held at york hotel. food was great, emcee was crappy, lucky draw prizes were attractive. yes. really attractive. like ipod (!), hp, creative mp3 (!) haha. the sch was really generous that night. okok. back to the dinner. played games and well, we did have our fun. took lotsa photos and that was what i enjoyed most. everyone was looking fabulous that night. even the guys. haha. didnt think i wld ever say that of nc guys but oh wells, they did look great that night.

grad nite. grad nite. it ended just like that. our 4 yrs in nc are over. and seriously, i didnt think it was a very good night to end it all. i dont know, but it just feels weird. expected smth different from what we had that night. okays, maybe it's just me.

He has been my great source of strength and comfort during this whole gruelling period. been praying really hard for confidence and strength and His grace was indeed sufficient for me. didnt think i could survive (literally) the o's. was pretty drained by the sec week or so alr. wanna say a big thank you to my sun sch tchers too cos they've been praying hard for us and encouraging us alot. a big thank you to my clique as well. they've been great study companions and we've indeed become closer during this period. love ya loads.

hmms. shall not worry abt my results. ive done my best and God will do the rest! whatever my results are, i thank God for them cos i know it's the best He has for me. am really happy that i have a God who loves and cares for me. i always rem the -footprints- story whenever im down. heh. thank you Lord! :)))

2004-11-16T23:29:00.000+08:00

gonna sleep after making this entry.

was in the living room just now and uh, you could say i got a great shock. my parents and bro were watching tv and sudd i heard loud noises. like those kind of noise when ppl throw stuff on the floor or bang furniture. yeah. then, i made a casual remark like 'woah..upstairs having riot ah?' umm..yeahh. then..then..i heard some woman screaming at the top of her lungs. was really shocked. she was like crying and screaming at the same time. my dad and i then looked out of the window, trying to figure out which household it came from. cldnt really tell where the screams came from but i was quite sure they came from my next door neighbour. i then put my ear against the wall and confirmed it. er yeah..they came from my next door neighbour. =x

and now, they're still screaming and shouting. the woman's screaming and the man's shouting. men dont scream according to my bro. oh wells. wonder why they're quarrelling. they just got married not too long ago. umm..that's abt it lah. just thot i'd blog this cos i was really taken aback by what happened lah. okays. off to sleep now.

2004-11-10T19:38:00.000+08:00

im here cos yiwen asked me to update. haha. see? im doing it for you gurl! =)

had bio today. paper1 was ok..manageable lah. paper2 was..paper2 was..*lost for words*. indescribable. totally indescribable. i would be happy if i could at least get a B. at least my cert would look nicer rather than being spoilt by a big big C. swallowed so much stuff also no chance to vomit out. arent those stuff on digestion, nutrition, reproduction, or in other words, those long and wordy chpts impt? but apparantly those cambridge ppl dont think so. eeeekkks. forget it lah. dont wanna count bio for r5. i think. i hope.

okays. now i have one more week to mug for the other papers. basically, i have to start on elect geog soon, or else i'll die next wed. then, do phy and chem tys. read text. and read text until im familiar with everything. do amaths papers. how to finish all these in one week?! i need to focus. i need to focus. bleahh.

haha. one more week. one more week. then i'll be free! oh mans. i cant wait!! there are so many things i wanna do aft o's. im gonna write up a to-do list. i can so totally definitely adhere to that! haha. not study plans and timetables. -winks* hmms. i have some things in mind alr. haha! okays. off to bathe now and yepp. start doing up my list. toodles~

2004-11-04T13:50:00.000+08:00

today's emaths paper was good. was able to complete it on time. thank God! haha. and good thing i managed to change my ans for one of the qns on time too, or else i would have got it wrong. hmms. hope paper2 will be ok too. really hope to get an A1 for emath. *prays hard*

tmr's amath paper1. hope it'll be manageable. at least it'll give me more confidence in my maths. gotta work really hard for amaths, bio and phy. cos im counting on two of these three for l1r5 other than chem, emath and combined humans. that is, if i use hcl as l1. i hope i'll do better for eng tho. ahhhhh. really gotta mug hard for bio and phy. bleahh. really scared that the papers would be tough. esp bio. phy..well, cos i think my prac wasnt really well done. but then again, it's 20% of the total marks. i still have my 80% to work hard for. go for it mel! =)

getting the jitters alr. amaths. amaths. most imptly-be careful, dont panic and dont forget anything. haha. that was what mrho said. i wanna leave the exam hall happy tmr. yay. work hard. work hard. another two weeks to go and we'll be free! *jiayou
