whee.......i'm employed!! for only 2 weeks though. i've managed to secure some tele surveyor job. the pay's pretty decent too. but i've gotta source for more jobs as well. can't just wait for the schools to call me up. i've called up 13 schools today, but only 3 said that there MAY be vaccancies. oh well. guess i've gotta take it as it comes. esther's working with me too! haha. its in Chinatown though. transport's gonna be pretty expensive.i'm still sourcing for a cheaper transportation route. :P

most of my classmates are either slacking or working. Hai Ha's gotten a job at Maybank. It's some data entry job. Chu Wen's working at Jurong, dunno what her job encompasses though. i know that Janice is happily rotting at home watching TV.[ not fair] and i think the rest of them are unemployed.. jobs are hard to come by. maybe after my temp job's over, i may try to get one at Changi Airport. seems pretty interesting. haha..

i've never been so bored! i used to think that school was bad cause of the endless homework and tests. but now, i'm actually starting to miss school! it feels like i don't have an aim in life now. i've joined the ranks of the unemployed and i'm utterly bored. when i was still in school, the only thing that i was worried abt was my undone homework, block tests n prelims etc.. now?? i'm worried abt not having a job. tao nan still hasn't called me up. i hate the feeling of uncertainty, of not knowing what will happen. i sure do not want to be left dangling on a string, waiting by the phone for them to call every single day. at least give me a reply! anyway,i've applied for a job at Life bookshop. the pay is pretty gd. $6 on weekdays, $8 on sat and $10 on sun & public holidays. but, the job i really really want is the relief teaching job at tao nan. the working hours are so much better than the other retail jobs. plus, i'll have more time to myself & i'll get to go for service n cell. i never knew that applying for jobs was so hard. or maybe, i'm just picky.

went out with esther today to apply for jobs. after which, we went down to expo for the metro sale. i found out that they replenish the stock every day. Surf Bay has pretty nice stuff, but they don't have it in my size! i overheard the sales assistant telling another customer to come early in the morning if she wants the 'good stuff'. i'm still debating whether to go down tomorrow. but.....i'm unemployed,which means that i'm broke. my parents aren't financing me anymore. they've been chasing me to get a job all the time. please God, let tao nan call me and offer me a permanent job. and hopefully, esther will be able to get her 'dream' job at Life..:)

i've just downloaded Hacken's n Kelly's new CD... its very very nice!! Pam's gonna get me the Hacken CD for my Christmas present. I'll probably buy Kelly's CD too.. just downloaded to test test..;P

the triumvirate's gonna meet up next week. probably at Sakae. maybe i'll get them to go to the Changi Airport one cause there aren't so many ppl there. Let's hope they remember the presents!!!! haha. the joy of giving and the joy of receiving.:)

Have yourself a merry little Christmas!

i'm got my 1st tuition assignment!! i'm gonna teach A & E Maths to a Sec 4 girl from KC. gonna start this fri.. thank God i've got some experience cause i taught a Sec 4 boy E Maths last year..:) gotta start revising my A Maths already, esp relative velocity. hopefully i'll be able to get 1 more student. And, i'll probably be teaching maths,music n english at Tao Nan too. :) haha.. i'll be able to finance my trip to hk next year.. this time,aside from pam n esther, debbie n her sister n my cousin will probably be going along too. This time, it'll be the correct season! more things to buy..:)

this is what i bought for myself from HK.
-17 tops
-4 bottoms
-7 pairs of socks
-1 pair of sneakers
-1 bag
-3 VCDs
-lots of earrings for my friends
-2 bracelets
-1 watch
-1 necklace
-lots of snacks!!!

all these do not include what i got for my relatives..so u can just imagine how much i bought..:P

oh well, the new sch term's gonna start in around 2 weeks time. time really flies. i think i'll miss SA a lot!! maybe i'll go back to visit chan or something n collect my testimonial. Speaking of testimonials, the reason why i wasn't able to collect my stuff was becos of BB!! we were supposed to collect it from 13th-15th of Dec, but BB didn't give it to the office clerk. We called him up and he said that he didn't pass it to the clerk cause the person who prints it was on holiday!! grrr... he made me go all the way down for nothing! and the best part? i was still sick with a fever! so, i think i ought to claim my doctor's fees from him!!

whee.......i'm damn happy now. i've gotten the approval from MOE to be a relief teacher! Esther's convinced that they are biased against her somehow cause she applied for it almost 2 weeks earlier than me. she's gonna call up MOE tomorrow to demand an explaination.. haha. Christmas is coming!! i can't wait. love that Christmas-y feeling, n carols n the food n the PRESENTS!!!! ;)

i've been down with the flu for the past week.. its pretty terrible esp since i had a fever that just wouldn't go away for 1 sordid week! bet its cause i didn't take the flu jab when i went to hk. the doc advised me to take a flu jab once i'm well. Apparently some ppl are more suseptible to flu n i guess i'm one of those ppl.. :( i've been denied my b-dae prezzies!!! *pouts* i was supposed to watch Sleeping Beauty at the Esplanade-treat from Eunice, but was unable to go cause i was sick..[ n they were pretty gd seats too!] n i couldn't go for the 5 course dinner at Club Street- treat from Pam cause i was still sick!!![argh.....missed out on so much!] nvm.. u guys can find some way to make it up to me. haha..:)

does anyone know of anyone who wants tuition for English/Maths or piano lessons?? i'm available!!! SMS me if u guys got lobang[u know my no!].. thanks a lot!!!:)

ok.. my comp is back!!! i can start blogging again!!!:) continuation of my hk trip... don't worry, i'll try to keep it short n sweet.:P

day 5 in hk

kk... today we went to Cheung Sha Wan which was the wholesale mkt.. took the MTR down. had quite an interesting encounter at the station. this bunch of s'poreans came up to us asking for directions on how to get to Wong Tai Sin. the funny part was that they came up to us n asked directions in canto.. haha. u shd have seen their faces when we replied first in canto,than in chinese n finally in singlish..wahahaha. oh yeah, i haven't told u the best part yet. u know how to tell a typical s'porean from a hk-er?? check out the OP shirts n flip flops!! yes its true! they were all decked out in berms n OP shirts even though its winter over there.. it wasn't really that cold, but cause the hk ppl were all wearing winter wear, it was pretty easy to tell that they weren't locals.. haha.:) anyway,after Cheung Sha Wan, we went over to HK Island to eat. The food is super good!! Had some chicken with rice. Esther n Pam were happy cause they finally got to eat rice after days of noodles. But give me noodles over rice any day! Oh yeah, walked over to Lyndhurst Terrace to search for the egg tarts. couldn't find it at first cause the roads in HK are kinda weird.. i called my bro's friend in HK for help, but he just laughed at me,saying that egg tarts were everywhere...yeah right, i couldn't even see one! Anyway, finally managed to find it. it was on the other side of the street. the egg tarts were just soooooo gd! headed back to the hotel to rest for a while be4 going to Fa Yuen St to buy sneakers!! Ooh.. i just love my sneakers. i was the last one to get mine. cost me only HKD$199 which is like S$38.. its so much cheaper than S'pore. and the best part? the shoe hasn't even arrived in s'pore yet! this is becos HK fashion is almost half a year ahead of S'pore!! haha.:) We had Mac for dinner!! n i bought my Zhu Co Late..haha.. so cute.. Esther bought Vanilla..[in case u're wondering, they're bears!!] Mac wasn't that bad after all..:)

i've already posted abt day 6 in hk.. so yeah, don't see any point in repeating it again... lest it bores u.haha

day 3 in hk

we headed over to hk island again.. this time, we went to li yuen streets east n west,peddler's building n stanley mkt. li yuen had lots of cheap stuff for sale. it's even cheaper than ladies mkt. i've come to the conclusion that ladies mkt is just too touristy n there's nothing worth buying there. anyway, we went to walk up the mid levels escalator. had lunch at a shop in soho. didn't really take notice of the shop's name though. but the food was good. haha. after eating, we went to stanley by bus. the bus ride felt more like a rollercoaster ride. bus drivers in hk sure drive a lot faster. but the scenery was great.. had a very nice time in stanley. i bought 2 roxy polo shirts there for only HKD$60. haha. great deal right. we had to rush back cause pam had to meet michelle to go to lan kwai fong. so esther n i entertained ourselves by walking ard mongkok. we had KFC for dinner. the KFC's so much nicer than s'pore. i liked their fries.. this was the night that we found argyle center..it's a great place. earrings were going for only HKD$4 per pair, shirts were ard HKD$40. the prices 4 everything were just super cheap. i even managed to buy 2 shirts for only HKD$10. too bad pam missed out on it. as each day passes, we manage to find cheaper n cheaper things..haha. this time round, we got back to the hotel pretty early. ard 11p.m.


day 4 in hk

hm...today, we didn't really do anything much.. we woke up late in the first place, ard 11am. headed to argyle center cause we didn't get to see anything much the previous night.. we reached there ard 12+. but most of the shops weren't open yet,so we decided to walk ard mongkok be4 heading back. we walked down sai yeung choi street n looked into the shops along the street. i bought a couple of vcds there too. haha. pam, esther n i wanted to cut our hair the day be4,but we did not cause it was getting pretty late. it so happens that someone gave us a flyer for I.O.U..the very same salon that we wanted to go to. we didn't really know the exact location in yau ma tei,so it was really lucky that we managed to get the flyer. spent most of our time in the salon.. most of which was waiting 4 pam. the massages they gave are super gd!! in s'pore, it feels like they're scratching your head instead of massaging it. in hk, it's really very very relaxing. all of us were very pleased with our hair cut.. what's more, its very cheap too. only spent HKD$75..pam took a longer time than us cause she highlighted her hair n went for treatment. i think she spent almost 3 hrs there,while esther n i were done in 30 min. we didn't really want to wait for her, so we walked back to our hotel via fa yuen street. fell asleep while waiting for pam.. she only reached the hotel at ard 6.30p.m. we headed straight to The Peak after that. we had dinner at Marche. the variety of food there was pretty small as compared to singapore. but the food sure was good. i liked the pasta salad..took a couple of pictures be4 heading back. we stopped over at argyle to look ard first before heading back to the hotel.

pictures for hk r up at last......link's on the left..will continue to update tomorrow.

day 2 in hk....

went over to causeway bay to walk walk.. reached there ard 11am.. had breakfast in the cha can teng below our hotel. food was pretty gd n the servings were huge!! there wasn't much to do in causeway bay cause most of the stuff was pretty expensive. clothes sold were more for the winter season.managed to get a pair of earings for HKD$5 for my cousin at Island Beverly. headed over to Jardine's Bazzar after that.. wow. it was one of the best decisions we made. i got 2 tops from there which only cost me HKD$10 per top and 2 shawls... esther n pam bought lots of earings.. but... they'll soon realise that it isn't that cheap after all..u'll find out y when i blog abt what happened on the 3rd day.haha.. we had lunch at Mak's Noodles,which sells extremely delicious wanton mee.. the noodles were soft n springy, the wanton was super nice n the soup wasn't oily at all.. not like s'pore.. one of the best things abt hk has to be the food! i took pictures of it, but will only be able to post it up at a later date... oh well. i shall do my utmost best to describe everything as best as i can.

headed back to our hotel to drop everything off cause our stuff was getting pretty heavy. rested for a while before heading to the avenue of stars at tsim sha tsui. when we came out of the tsim sha tsui mtr, guess what we saw? the esprit warehouse outlet! all of us totally went crazy. i think we spent at least a gd 2 hours there.. all of us spent at least HKD$350 there.. by the time we reached the avenue of stars, it was already 11+pm. it was pretty cold esp since the wind was blowing. but it was nice. ;] after taking a couple of pictures here n there, we headed to a mac in tsim sha tsui for supper! like i said earlier on, the mac doesn't close till 3am. haha. we saw a couple of leng zai there. esther was so happy.. actually, we wanted to take pictures of them, but it would be too obvious, so we decided not to. the streets had plenty of ppl walking ard even at 12+am.. this goes to show how safe hk is, even at night..even sch kids were out at 12am. really wonder how they're gonna go to sch the next day. reached the hotel ard 1am.. the latest so far..

day 1 in hk...

arrived in hk ard 2p.m on sun,28th nov.. took quite some time to clear customs and all. after which, we took a 40min ride to our hotel in mongkok..we spent some time getting aquainted with our room.[haha] went down to silvercord plaza in tsim sha tsui for dinner. i must say, the food is really good. and that is considering the fact that we had it in a food court!! i had noodles with chicken,veg n coke which cost a total of HKD$32. food is much more expensive in hk as is the transport. walked down haiphong road n bought some socks.. only 3 for HKD$25..Pretty nice ones too. we walked down Nathan road to tung choi street,better known as ladies mkt.the stuff sold there is pretty touristy n kinda expensive. only bought a couple of things there..one gd deal i got there was the watch,which cost me only HKD$20...The street was pretty long, so we only managed to walk down half of it. we were pretty tired so we headed back to the hotel to rest. anyway, most of the shops were closing too. reached the hotel at ard 12am..that's not really late,considering the fact that hk ppl seem to have a much better nightlife than us..the mac there closes at 3am!

ok..i've gotta get ready for church.. will probably update more when i'm back... ciao.. pictures soon. when i figure out how to fix the usb driver..

stuck in hk airport..

my flight back to s'pore just got delayed cause of some technical error. oh well. i guess its better to wait then to take an unsafe flight. i'll be reaching s'pore ard 2am on sat now.. anyway, had a real fun time in hk. everything was super super cheap!! i mean, each shirt was only ard HK$10-20!! can u believe it? u can't even get this kind of pricing in s'pore. i'm never gonna shop in s'pore ever again. not worth it at all. the esprit warehouse outlet in hk was super fantastic too. some of the designs can't even be found in s'pore!! can't wait to get back to s'pore.. lots of new clothes! i was so worried that i'ld have to pay for excess baggage. luckily it was only ard 17kg++.. pamelia had an excess of 2kg. luckily we coulldd combine the weight allowance..otherwise i think she would have to pay quite a bit. haha. i'm gonna miss hk. everything has been great. the food, the weather, the ppl etc... before leaving for the airport today, we went to NEWAY to cheong k[sing karaoke]..super cheap man. only ard HK$35 per person inclusive of drink n food! 2 solid hours of entertainment. when can u get this in s'pore??? the only bad thing abt hk that i can find is that everyone seems to like smoking a lot! the shopping centres etc are all terribly smokey. and we had to climb up n down to the MTR station all the timee. they seem to like to save electricity a lot! very tiring. esp so cause their MTR station is so much more larger than s'pore.. hm..its ard 8++ soon.. gotta go in soon... will update more when i get back..

hk hk hk.in a shopping center in mongkok now.

haha..this is so damn cool... i'm blogging with a wonderful computer that i found in a shopping center. i tell u,singapore should have these type of facilities.. the food is great, the shopping is great..what more can i say. esther n i stumbled on this great place in mongkok which is like super super cheap!!!! anyway, the weather is super wonderful.. its pretty cold too.. woo..this is like my 3rd night here already. bought lots of stuff for my friends already. :) pam's is in lan kwai fong now.. we didn't want to go so we wandered around on our own and we were rewarded.. wahahaha. this is great man. will post more when i get back..

one more paper, 3 more hours

i can't believe that it's almost over. it seems almost like yesterday when i first started my jc education. now?? i'm sitting for my a levels which is ending soon. i only have lit paper 5 left. div today was pretty ok. hopefully it will be able to pull up my paper 2 marks. wonder how div is marked. do they have a bell curve for it? hm... really pray that i'll be able to get into NUS Law Fac next year. however, admission is pretty competitive. plenty of rj n hc ppl will definitely apply. in fact, i heard that half of law fac's made up of rj ppl. oh well, if i can't get in, guess i'll apply for SMU Acct instead.

i'm looking forward to the hols.. imagine. 7 mths with no sch. total bliss. no more assignments to hand in, and no more econs lectures to fall asleep in. haha. but i'll miss mdm chan though, no matter how grouchy she may get sometimes. haha. =p my room's pretty tidy now,esp cause i have only 1 paper left. i can see my floor again! *cheers* i think i'll throw again most of my notes, but i'll keep my div notes for sentimental value. sayonara to econs,maths n lit. hah. oh yeah, gotta go back to sch on the 13th of dec to collect my testimonial. wonder what bb wrote. hopefully he doesn't say anything abt my latecoming..esp after block test 2.

i've got lots of nice books to read n great shows to watch! one for my baby,man n wife, man n boy by tony parsons, the last juror,the chamber by john grisham, the time traveller's wife by audrey niffenger..... can't wait. they're all lying on my desk just begging to be read. but.. thou shalt not be tempted. i shall wait till my last paper ends before starting on them. haha. n its off to hk on the 28th.yay. can't wait. gotta do lots of stuff within the span of 2 days. hopefully i won't miss out anything while packing. and i mustn't forget the most impt thing. the tickets! i'm gonna go into a shopping frenzy there. been deprived for almost a year already. esther's super hyped up too. wait till u hear her theory of handing shopkeepers.. super rubbish-y i tell you. it goes like that.
1- if the shopkeeper doesn't give u the price u want, call him a fei ju[fat pig].
2- so the shopkeeper will start ranting n screaming at you. so u shout gao meng[help].
3- when the police come, say that u want to go to the jao dim[hotel]. but, the way she pronounces it sounds like shao din[burn down the shop], so they'll probably arrest her or something.
4- esther's gonna say ngo oi lei[i love you] n everything will be fine. cause according to her, love makes the world go round.

haha. i nearly rolled off the sofa laughing when i heard that... we're gonna have lots of fun!

i think the school system's screwed. the sch already called me on wed to ask y i wasn't going for the econs paper, and i told them that i had already dropped it[unofficially though.. but i didn't say that] yupz. so.. i thought they already knew that already and guess what?? they had to wake me up early early in the morning today at 8am! guess what time i slept?? 5am.. i had only 3 hrs of sleep.. this is so not funny. they asked me the same things again, like.. y aren't u in sch for the econs paper? have u dropped it? did u go for econs paper 3 last wed? i think the ans quite obvious right.. if i had gone for paper 3, i would be in sch right now.. unless of course, i felt so super discouraged n despondent after the exam that i decided to just not go for paper 1 n 2. anyway, i'm just pissed off that my sleep got interrupted....

div's tomorrow. can't wait..haha. it'll be all over soon.. i don't like ppl whose exams finish earlier than me. they get to play earlier.. no fair.

the triumvirate.. esther,debbie n me.

hm.... haven't blogged in here for a long time. been too bogged down with exams and all.well. i'm left with 3 papers.. div paper 2 n 3 and lit paper 5. maths was pretty ok.. lit paper 1 was ok except for the silas marner question.lit paper 8 was fine too..:) can't wait for my other papers to be over.. i skipped my econs paper n received a call from the school.. heard that it was pretty tough. anyway, its over. haha. clearing up my room now.. after each paper's over, i'll throw away my notes. for maths paper 1, i threw away 3 full bags of practice papers n all!! still have paper 2 notes to throw too.

can't wait for nov 28th.. finally, a long awaited deserved break to hk. ;) pretty hyped up about the trip now, esp since my exams are drawing to a close. i'll post up the pictures i've taken when i get back.. till then..

P.S: Weilin n Yvonne, don't forget me when u guys are in Taiwan k? haha..

GP today... argh...i can't believe that education didn't even come out! what a waste of my education quotes by aristotle and yeats. the essay was kinda screwed, as was the compre. did 'discuss the importance of religion in your society today.' don't really know how i'm gonna do. felt uneasy throughout the whole paper.. please God,please God..let me get my B3 and above for GP! really didn't expect such a hard paper esp for the essays. the questions were all pretty general so much so that studying for it didn't really help much. this is esp so cause i studied education,death penalty,social issues etc......how how how?

let's pray that the other papers will be much much better. next paper's on tues. maths c paper 1, here i come!!

6 days more.....

argh......... i can't wait for exams to be over.
just 14 days more to GP. someone help me....

yeah... jerry's out!!

pictures for the farewell assembly are up... link is on the left.

wow.. i haven't blogged in here for a long time. perhaps blogging has just lost its novelty. but whatever the case, its out of boredem that i'm here right now..

where shall i start? the stupid exams are coming. bleah. i think i have only 3 more weeks left to my 1st paper. the only thing good abt the exams is that i'll have a long break after that. oh yeah, just for the record, i've dropped econs unofficially. i haven't told my teacher though. anyway, i realised that most of the books n papers covering my table n floor are all econs! i piled up everything already.. getting ready to throw them away..haha. more time for my other subjects now.

i've been watching 青出於藍 recently.. really nice show abt teachers + students.. not forgetting that it has my all time fave actress in it! 郭可盈! haha.. the theme song's really nice too. its sung by hacken lee.

oh well..let's pray hard that i'll be able to get through my exams n do well by the grace of God. really really hope that i'll be able to get into the fac of my choice..

to all A level students out there.... gambatte n jia you!

gotten back all my prelims results. what uni is going to accept me with those grades?all i can say is that my grades are in desending order. urgh. pressure pressure pressure..1 more mth. just 1 more mth n i can say adios to all my books forever..haha.

i'm going to the airport to study with esther later. she's gonna help me with lit. thanks so much,esther! i must be forward looking and not look back to the past. but somehow, that's difficult to achieve. i really hate this indecisiveness,or is it regret, of mine. i've resolved to do 1 essay per day for mdm chan. getting into the momenteum for it already. trying to do maths tys everyday as well.....

pardon me if my thoughts seem fragmented,cause that's exactly how i'm feeling now. its interesting how what u write reflect your thoughts at times...

Wisdom

Focus

Stamina

i'm halfway through. made it so far. thou shalt not give up. the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak.

if only, the prelims were already over. but then again, i would still have to contend with the big As.. prelims or As? neither is fun. bleah. exams suck. oh, just for the record, i bought a nice black GAP trench yesterday while out shopping..:)

Papers left:

• Maths C Paper 2 - 13/9/2004
• Divinity Paper 3 - 13/9/2004
• Literature Paper 8 - 14/9/2004
• Economics Paper 1 & 2 - 15/9/2004

here ends my prelims.. ever since lit ended on mon, i haven't been studying. feels like hols,but yet there's still that exam pressure hanging over me. :( if only we were able to wake up early to pick up li from the airport yesterday. esther's been moaning n groaning abt how she lost that chance to watch the 'marriage of life'. i kinda feel the same way too. oh well. its over....

The new Mac G5 has been released! its so drool worthy! there aren't any CPUs to contend with as everything's packaged at the back of the monitor. i think the 20 inch one is going for only $3000+!! gosh, i feel like getting this one instead of the powerbook.. pity that it isn't portable enough..:(

i've fallen in love with a mac... esther n i were 'converted' yesterday at COMEX.. its so super pretty! nice functions too.. can't wait to get my hands on one. ;-) anyway, i've decided to break my blogfast for a little while. need an outlet to rant for a while. pretty good catharsis.. i promise that i'll complete my studying later on..

ok. first things first. prelims. one word to describe it. horrendous. i can't believe that i forgot the formulas for maths! 11 marks down the drain just like that.econs? dunno what i was writing down. everything was horrible. bleah.

anyway esther.. i want to go to the airport to welcome li jiawei too! just make sure that we're not in sch uniforms like a certain grp of students from my alma mater.;-) haha. remember we were just laughing at those ppl at the airport that day for 'idol chasing' n now here we are doing the exact same thing.. well, i suppose there's a 1st time for everything. but......just 1 question. how are we going to find out when she's returning to s'pore?

i was at parkway with pam today n we chanced upon this super nice beige trench coat! but guess what? they didn't have it in my size! grrrrrr. y does this always happen to me? and it was even 30% off! let's hope that there'll be more stock. still have ard 2 mths to go before i go off anyway. but i don't think i'll really have time to go shopping for stuff to bring on my trip. so i've to try o get what i can first. esp since i plan to fly straight away after my As. oh yeah, i'm so happy that esther's thinking of going too. more ppl to 'havoc' together with. haha. this is so fun. the best part? no parents! i think i'm gonna go crazy there.. mai dong xi, chi dong xi, you mai dong xi, chi dong xi..;-)

k..i better go n study for my lit. i haven't even completed my Wuthering Heights yet!

BORING....

Mr Yoong aka BB the loser..haha 

my desk....  

i heard from eunice that almost half the class didn't go to school today. including me. ;] haha. oh well... guess everyone's turning into pon-stars..[pun unintended].. got back zenobia assignment[ well, technically jani-pork took it], and i managed to get a C..finally...

went to the airport to study with esther[another pon-star] and i managed to finish studying Mark! now i'm left with Matthew,John and Luke.. and that's just paper 2 only. thank god paper 3 is after the hols.. and esther thinks that Luke is pervertic cause he has a 'special interest in women'.[actually, its one of the concerns of the book].

oh yeah, the picture of BB below is damn hilarious.. he was sleeping on the slide and we manage to take a photo of him..oh, what a masterpiece..;] wahaha..

Two More Weeks To Prelims

ok.. i need to start setting my targets.. so much to do, so little time. why is it always like that? blame it on my procrastination.. my studying partners, esther n stacy, you guys gotta jia you with me.. Let's pray that we'll all do well for BOTH the prelims and the As.

God, please give me strength as i prepare for my exams...i have to go practice more prelim papers now... oh gosh.. i'm really turning into a nerd and a hermit.. do you know that practically everything that comes out of my mouth is related to sch work in some way or another? no wonder Pam's getting a little frustrated with me..

-What's Playing; Mr Big=To Be With You
-Mood; happy happy happy

wow...i just realised that Blogspot has new functions etc..so fun. anyway, i'm getting my new phone tomorrow! It's the Samsung X430.I've tried Motorola and Nokia before. So it's Samsung's turn now. i've never used a flip phone before. let's hope that i'll be able to get used to it. i dunno why, but i'm feeling really happy now. Euphoria perhaps? but, that's kinda dumb ya? happy over a phone? haha. oh well...
 
was talking to mrs tan after econs on fri. she commented that my econs had improved a lot from last time. if i recall correctly, her exact words were 'Your essays make more sense now.' O-k... which means that all my essays didn't make sense last time huh? guess its both a compliment and a insult at the same time.
 
oh wait.... i can change the text colour..so nice...

Wow.. i haven't blogged for a long time..=) kinda ironic, considering the fact that i've had more time on my hands than when i was having my exams. Oh well.. i recieved all my results already. They're pretty decent i guess, considering the fact that i recieved an EEE for my Block Test 1. I got a CCD this time round.. thank God for it.. Prelims are coming up soon. hopefully i'll be able to get a B average for the prelims.

i went for the music min auditions today. was asked to play 2 songs. 1,Awesome in this place and Power of your love. i was kinda nervous at first though.. it was pretty fun playing with a whole band. after that, i went to Pizza Hut with Pam to eat the spaghetti and meatballs meal. oh ya, i bought a book. its my first in a long long while. been deprived of good literature lately, esp with the exams coming up. i still have 2 econs essays,1 data rep and a maths tutorial to complete by tomorrow.. in fact, i shouldn't even be here typing....

hey Esther, i think this would be a much more appropriate one than the one on your blog.. check out the Targets part.. doesn't it sound a little like c*** c*** h**?? haha

i feel cheated..... mdm chan said that Mark was going to come out for our div paper, but it didn't! imagine the looks of horror on our face! just before the paper started, i was holding the paper up to the light to try to see what was written at the back [fyi: we weren't allowed to turn the paper over yet]. i was wondering why the questions looked so long. Mark questions seemed to be shorter than the ones printed. When the teacher gave us the go ahead to turn the paper over.....crap! there were no Mark questions at all! Everything was on the synoptics! Grrrrrrr.. i supposed everyone felt the same way. CHEATED! I don't think anyone really studied for the synoptics too. Mark's so much easier. I managed to crap out only one and a half pages for the synoptics. did the question on the importance of the baptism n transfiguration of Jesus in the synoptics. what rubbish.. i centered my essay mostly on Mark cause that was the only book that i studied. :(

I don't really have high hopes for the block tests this time. that's not surprising considering the fact that i pretty much wasted my hols by slacking ard. Well.. i'll see how it goes when i recieve my results.

One down, four to go..

had my GP exam today. I think it was pretty terrible. =( did this essay question.
"These days,the term 'journalistic integrity' is a contradiction".Discuss.
well, i certainly hope i didn't screw up n pick the 'wrong' question like i did the last time. Having econs and maths tomorrow..hopefully, macroecons problems will come out in the case study instead of the essay. n let's pray that it will be easy! yeah, i know i'm dreaming.. bleah.

Amazing Love - Hillsongs




I'm forgiven, because you were forsaken
I'm accepted, you were condemned

Because you died and rose again

I'm forgiven, because you were forsaken
I'm accepted, you were condemned
I'm alive and well, you're spirit is within me

Amazing love, carry me
My king would die for me
Amazing love, I know it's true
It's my joy to honor you

Ravenclaw! Some might see you as a bit haughty, but
that's just because they lack the intellectual
capacity to be worthy of your presence. You see
little difference between enlightenment and
entertainment; learning experiences are
tremendously enjoyable for you. And remember,
kids: just because you're brilliant doesn't
mean you're studious!


A More Unique Hogwarts Sorting Quiz
brought to you by Quizilla

School Of Modern Levites.....

went for my very first day of sml.. finally got to see who willis is [ fyi: its that drummer whom janelle was obsessing abt on her blog.. ;)] he has that seh-ness n a pretty cool floppy hairstyle too. =)well, it was a pretty good session today. we really learnt a lot of things! eg: aug,dim,add6ths,sus2,sus4,d7,m6..... you name it, we have it. got susan choo as one of my instructors! forgot the other instructor's name though.. =P The keyboards they provided for us were great... all except mine! Only my keyboard had the headphones jack right in the middle of the keyboard! when i played, i had to keep brushing away the wire cause it interefered with my playing. Also, sometimes, i even had to 'pluck' it out cause it got stuck btw the keys! I'm so NOT going to sit at that place tomorrow. I was damn cold even though i had a long sleeved shirt on.. it felt like it was 10 degrees! i think i'll have to bring a sweater tomorrow.. sml was pretty inspiring. before the whole session started, we had a talk by pastor john koh n he talked abt us being modern levites n all.. then he showed us a short clip of 'Star Wars'[edited of course] it went something like that..

Darth Vader: wa si li kai lim pei
Luke Skywalker: wa buo lim pei..wa kai lim pei si liao
.
.
.
.
.
that was all i could remember.. but it was pretty funny. oh yeah, our instructor showed us another short clip too! it was abt this lady who was using a typewriter instead of a comp. her boss hinted that she should 'upgrade' herself n use a comp instead. so, the next scene shows her using a comp instead. but the thing was, she still thought that she was using a typewriter, n she used her hand to sweep the whole monitor away n it crashed onto the floor![ you know how you use a typewriter??] damn funny...i still crack up when i think abt it.. =P

Oh yeah, i got picked to play a song tomorrow.. n i don't really know how it goes!! going to malu myself...haiz.. must pray hard that everything goes smoothly tomorrow.. all for the glory of god! to be a true levitical worshipper n to be used mightily by Him!

I will make the desendents of David my servant and the Levites who minister before me as countless as the stars of the sky and as measureless as the sand on the seashore.
-Jeremiah 22:33

maybe i'll blog more later on,...when i'm not feeling so much like shit...

A study in student types


Late mugger

Desperately borrows lecture notes to photocopy. Forms study groups with the more hardworking species, hoping to obtain some easier methods of absorbing knowledge.


Slacker

Skims through the bare minimum. Doesn't know exam timetable. Doesn't even know there's such a thing in the first place. What's a seating allocation?


Perfectionist
Has brightly coloured notes and a huge collection of coloured markers and pens. Handwriting looks typewritten. Spends more time highlighting and labelling than studying.


Nerd

Always at least one tutorial ahead. Revises at least thrice. Writes out own notes. Never skips class.


Muncher

Self-explanatory. Food and drinks all around!


Loner

Prefers isolation. Plugged in to music to drown out surrounding noises. Stays up until very late hours.


45-minuter

Takes frequent breaks. Brings all sorts of distractions along, like poker cards, lap-top, storybook.

--taken from here--

just thought these might be good for a few laughs even in the midst of preparation for the exams.[*groan*]
man, i can't wait for the exams to be over! and Yahoo! Auctions isn't working properly now! =(

I HATE being sick.....

finally dragged myself to the doc on mon night after having a fever that just wouldn't go away since sat. to top it off, i had a sore throat + headaches, which meant tt i couldn't eat whatever i wanted and had to survive on porridge for the past 3 days.
i didn't feel like doing anything. i just slept n slept. i wasted so much time!

argh!!!!!!!!!!

I MUST stop procrastinating!!

i don't feel like studying, i don't feel like watching TV, in fact, i don't feel like doing anything at all!!
someone help me out here! Please?

Back From Festival Of Praise(FOP)!!
Mood:Exhilerated

I just can't find enough words to describe the awesome time i had at FOP. God's presence could be felt so strongly there. Really felt closer to God. Darlene n the Hillsongs team were fantastic! When they sing, its very obvious that they are singing for God, not for man. Awesome.... almost 3 solid hours of praise and worship. =) I sense the calling for me to serve in the music ministry is there,and its further evidenced by tonight's FOP. Anyway, i've signed up for the Sch Of Modern Levites Keyboard Track 1. can't wait for it! =) I've never felt that praise n worship was this good before. maybe cause my heart wasn't really in it.. but today, i actually sang with all my heart n soul. Gosh, i'm still feeling very hyped up. haha.
i know that this post may be kinda preachy, but ya, this is how i feel right now.. =) thought i would just share it with u guys.

Song Of Freedom

A song of freedom
Is on my lips today
Today
I sing about the one i love today
Today

All i can see is your mercy
All i can feel is your grace

Your love is so wonderful
Let all the people sing that
Our God reigns above all

darn it...i feel so lost w/o my digital camera..=( i want a new one! My Nikon 3700!!!! *pouts* the rain is coming down in torrents now and i can't go to the airport! have to wait for the rain to stop cause i don't want to bring out an umbrella. i just looked at the brochures for the PC show and the Nikon 3700 is goin for $549. so ex. i can get a brand new one for only $480. Maybe i'll just go and check out the Nikon 3700 and see if i like its functions and all before i decide on buying it.

Rain rain,go away, come again another day.

the whole of singapore seems to be in a consipracy or something. always having sales just when i can't spend! =( April's in HK now...so jealous. I know i'm supposed to be studying, but i'm so into the holiday mood. =P maybe i shall make a list of what to do after the As. haha. Oh ya, i just remembered.

-nicked this from janelle's blog..

This is soooooo unfair! mdm chan says that she's going to take our 2 lowest marks for each paper n use it as part of our Block Test 2 marks! unfair! unfair! unfair! We tried reasoning with her,but she started grinning away and said that she was being creative n original. And the worst part was that she looked very proud of herself!! Bleah. And Janelle, i don't blackmail u hor.... Anyway, the GSS is on! Everything's so super cheap! Aiyah... but i cannot buy anything. Must restrain myself. The stupid block tests are coming soon n i think my lit is going to be super sucky.. =( Oh yeah... i cleared my room of the year's worth of dust n grime! So damn proud of myself. I'm gonna sleep in a cleaner room tonight! =)

I Hope That I Don't Fall In Love With You - Tom Waits

Well I hope that I don't fall in love with you
'Cause falling in love just makes me blue,
Well the music plays and you display
your heart for me to see,
I had a beer and now I hear you
calling out for me
And I hope that I don't fall in love with you.

Well the room is crowded, people everywhere
And I wonder, should I offer you a chair?
Well if you sit down with this old clown,
take that frown and break it,
Before the evening's gone away,
I think that we could make it,
And I hope that I don't fall in love with you.

Well the night does funny things inside a man
These old tom-cat feelings you don't understand,
Well I turn around to look at you,
you light a cigarette,
I wish I had the guts to bum one,
but we've never met,
And I hope that I don't fall in love with you.

I can see that you are lonesome just like me,
and it being late, you'd like some some company,
Well I turn around to look at you,
and you look back at me,
The guy you're with has up and split,
the chair next to you's free,
And I hope that you don't fall in love with me.

Now it's closing time, the music's fading out
Last call for drinks, I'll have another stout.
Well I turn around to look at you,
you're nowhere to be found,
I search the place for your lost face,
guess I'll have another round
And I think that I just fell in love with you.


Walking In Memphis - Marc Cohn

Put on my blue suede shoes
And I boarded the plane
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain
W.C. Handy -- won`t you look down over me
Yeah I got a first class ticket
But I`m as blue as a boy can be

Then I`m walking in Memphis
Walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel

Saw the ghost of Elvis
On Union Avenue
Followed him up to the gates of Graceland
Then I watched him walk right through
Now security they did not see him
They just hovered `round his tomb
But there`s a pretty little thing
Waiting for the King
Down in the Jungle Room

(Chorus)

They`ve got catfish on the table
They`ve got gospel in the air
And Reverend Green be glad to see you
When you haven`t got a prayer
But boy you`ve got a prayer in Memphis

Now Muriel plays piano
Every Friday at the Hollywood
And they brought me down to see her
And they asked me if I would --
Do a little number
And I sang with all my might
And she said --
"Tell me are you a Christian child?"
And I said "Ma`am I am tonight"

(Chorus)

Put on my blue suede shoes
And I boarded the plane
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain

Great show!!!! =P Anyway, guess what? I think Mrs Tan really lost my test paper. I asked her what had happened today after lecture and this was what she said.

Me: Er..Mrs Tan, you haven't returned me my MCQ & Essay Test yet.
Mrs Tan: [sheepish grin] Oh..that paper which i'm still looking for...
Me: What? You haven't found it yet?
Mrs Tan: I'll try my best to look for it and return it to you by this week.

Looks like she's gonna take a long time to find it. =( Oh..i got my Econs Case Study Test back! And guess what? I passed for the first time in my life! haha... =)
This is the last week of school!!!

When Will You Be Coming

On a golden misty mountain morning
I could sit forever in your arms
There was something sadly so familiar
Like a dove in rainy days in the sky

I say when will you be coming round again
My everdreaming Mr could have been
The road is always mine
And the journey never ends
I'll always think of you my friend

Every song I listen to reminds me
Of the music that you loved to play
Know the coffee houses and the terraces
Or just another star among the rain

When will you be coming round again
The everdreaming Mr could have been
The road is always mine
And the journey never ends
I just hope you don't forget your friend

Tell me when will you be coming round again
My ever dreaming Mr could have been
The road is always mine
And the journey never ends
I'll always think of you my friend

The road is always mine
And the journey never ends
I just hope your don't forget your friend

sheesh...the whole angelfire screwed up my background picture AGAIN! I got so sick n tired of it that i decided to keep it simple this time round. Yep, Back To Basics!

Haven't really been updating lately. I seem to find less n less interest in blogging now.Oh well, since i'm typing this entry, might as well make the best of it ya? =) Got started on yet another show that's currently airing in HK. Its called Dreams Of Colors. Interesting plot woven round 3 fashion designers. yep.. Anyway, we got a half day today!! So i ended at 12.50p.m. That makes it 2 half days in a row! Whee........ so fun. However, Mrs Tan msg-ed Weilin n told her to inform us that we gotta do 3 essay outlines by tomorrow!!!! How am i ever goin to get it done??

I just wasted resources in a society of unlimited wants. I didn't go to sch today. Down with flu n a sore throat. This sick bug has just abt bitten almost everyone in the Drama Club. Even the teachers caught it! Anyway, i'm glad that the whole production is over. No more late nights for me!

Spent today in somewhat of a daze,alternating btw sleep and TV. The one good thing is that i managed to finish watching Survivor's Law.=) The flu medicine has clogged up my nose. Its good in a sense that my 'dripping tap' has finally been turned off, but i have to breathe through my mouth now! Makes me feel like i'm underwater using an oxygen tank or something.

Okie, dinner's here...gotta go and eat. shall update more later on, if i'm not too tired.

P.S:I'm having wonton mien for dinner!! =)

Argh!!!! i'm watching this show now n i love it to bits n pieces!!!!!!!

Staying back in sch till 7.30p.m is really no joke. Esp when u have classes all the way to 4.50p.m. Thank God this will be over soon and i can go back to my old lazy life. =) One more week. Just one more week Jean..Anyway, ticket sales for our performance are going up, or so they claim. Yep. Sheesh, i can't believe some teachers actually forced their students to go! Whatever happened to 'Its my money and i can do whatever i want with it.'??? Anyway, visited the doctor yesterday. n guess what?? He diagnosed me as having a swelling and inflamation of the muscles and tendons of my leg! I was like 'huh'?? How on earth did i ever manage to get all these kind of injuries n what nots? 1st was my stress fracture. 2nd, my wart. n now? inflamation n swelling..yay.... so exciting.

Oh yeah, read in the papers that the Dear Leader [fyi: Kim Jong Il] has a huge problem on his hands right now... guess what? its hair loss!! i was chuckling with laughter at the utter sort of rubbish,i.e news that they[the journalists] could come up with. I mean, a WHOLE article on the Dear Leader's balding and receeding hairline??? It may have been that they were trying to provide comic relief admist all the news abt wars n terrorism. Anyway, it was a pretty refreshing piece. =)

Hm.....should i go for church later on? Still haven't really recovered from the late nights that i've been keeping in an attempt to catch up with my work. Have to study for my MCQ cum Essay Econs test on the Theory Of Income and Employement Determination. Thank God that i'll only have to take it after Drama is over. But still, there are quite a number of concepts and theories to cover. You know, i really think economists are damn free ppl. Coming up with all sorts of weird theories,some of which are not even applicable in the real world! eg: Perfect Competition mkt....Just helps to add to our workload. Are the economists in cahoots with educationists all over the world or something?? Grrrrrrrrr.

4 more weeks left till sch ends for the term and hols begin! yay! =) 1 step closer to the A levels and my trip overseas! Just read that Valuair will be selling their tickets to HK for $300, not much diff from Cathay Pacific, which is $388. I think i'm gonna end up taking Cathay..=) After all, Cathay offers much more in terms of service and 'facilities'. really hope that Debbie n Esther will be able to go too... At least there will be more of us there. After all, there's safety in numbers. Time really flies by very very fast......

Oh well, enough of blogging..time to get back to the study grind!

What Is Your Friendship Style?


Note: Scores are rounded to one decimal place and therefore may not total 100%
You scored 40% Reliable Advisor
You're accomplished, thoughtful, and generous, a font of wisdom and constructive criticism -- people love being friends with you because they know you've got their back. Your trustworthy nature and balanced, fair judgment make you a superb confidante and mediator, and while you may sometimes feel that your friends turn to you for advice about everything, you'd never let down anyone you cared about. Besides, your friends know your opinions are too valuable to do without! Your insight and loyalty are in high demand, but be sure to make friends aware that you're not just Old Faithful. You're the leading actress in your own life -- if some relationships make you feel more like the trusty sidekick, put a new face on your friendship by adopting the some of the attitude of your Bright Spark buddies.


You scored 30% Bright Spark
You're a kick in the pants, an inspirer, an activator -- people love being friends with you because you're full of energy and fun ideas. You aim to make the people around you feel happy and comfortable, and you nearly always succeed. You have a wide circle of devoted buddies and admirers, and you take vicarious pleasure in their successes and accomplishments while inspiring your friends with your own passion for life. Although you may sometimes resent the pressure of being everybody's muse or ray of sunshine, you try not to let it show -- but do listen to those voices in your head that urge you to slow down and savor your friendships more fully. Consider deepening your friendships with a dose of the nurturing that your Loving Sister friends bring to their relationships.


You scored 20% Lone Wolf
You're an independent, intelligent free thinker who cherishes her individuality as well as her friendships -- people love being friends with you because you inspire them to self-reflection and self-improvement. Your friends may not see you every day, but they know you support them and care about them, and you share your knowledge and your gifts freely when asked. People look up to you because you understand yourself well, and you understand your own needs for stimulation and personal growth. As independent and forceful as you are, though, you may sometimes leave a buddy out in the cold. If you're worried your friends may find you aloof, improve your dependability with some Reliable Advisor qualities.


You scored 10% Loving Sister
You're an affectionate, sensitive, intuitive sweetie who takes her friendships very seriously -- people love being friends with you because they know you understand them. You nurture your friends, which is a constantly-renewing gift: you're the first one to step forward with chicken soup if they're sick, tissue if they're crying, and a phone call if they're lonely. You love being cared for yourself, too -- not that you'd ever admit it. It's not surprising that you build such strong bonds with your friends, loyal and steadfast as you are. Be careful not to pamper your buddies too much, though, since it can drain you of much-needed energy and encourage otherwise good friends to take your big-hearted nature for granted. You might incorporate some Lone Wolf traits into unbalanced relationships that take more than they give.

A GARAGE-GURL. Youre into loud music, hot guys and
wild fashions. Youre most at ease when you've
got all your mates around you and you like to
party. Boys are a game and youre always on the
ball because you make sure youre always number
one.
Your virtues: Confidence, fun nature, sociability.
Your flaws: Loudness, jealous tendency, need for
attention..



What kind of girl are you?
brought to you by Quizilla

Fairytale Heaven

went to watch The Prince & Me with Pam yesterday. She won free tix n i benefited. haha =) Anyway, i really loved the show. Wouldn't it be nice if something like that could happen in real life? The soundtrack's pretty nice too. Sadly, i can't find the songs anywhere on the net. Guess they are not released yet. =( If anyone manages to find this song, I Hope That I Don't Fall In Love With You-Marc Sohn, pls let me know ya?? The whole storyline's pretty cute too. Its more of a feel-good kind of show. That's my fave type. I don't like to watch horror shows n the like. I know some of my friends do though...

On School

didn't go to school today. Going to CGH for a checkup later on. Goodness, i've already missed so many days of sch this term. All of them are on Thursday too. I think my teachers are gonna suspect that there's a pattern or something.Anyway, Drama Night's coming up n the crew has to stay in school everyday to finish painting the set n all. I'm not very happy with this arrangement though. My lessons end pretty late for one thing, and i stay so far away from sch! It takes me almost 1hr 20 mins to get to sch! So if i leave sch at 7++, i'll reach home at 9+, so where am i going to find the time n energy to complete my h/w n do my revision????? In addition, i have 2 tests next week! My Econs isn't very good too, so i have to put in more time for that sub. I'm still taking 4 subs! I wouldn't mind it so much if they stagger the times so that not everyone has to stay back every day, but only on the days allocated to them. I think that this arrangement would be fairer to everyone. At least there will be time for everyone to study.

On Holidays

Holidays are coming in 5 weeks time. I await that day with a mixture of happiness n trepidation. Firstly, i get a break from sch after a long while. However, the fact that the A levels are nearing fills me with apprehension. There's so much to do, but so little time. Only when its the Dec hols will i really feel truly free n happy. =) Anyway, haven't really made plans from the holidays. Looks like its gonna be filled up with studying n more studying. Bleah. So boring.....But i don't really have a choice do i?

On Shopping

I haven't been buying any new clothes or whatsoever for a long long time. Saving up for the trip in Dec. Valueair gonna's have flights to HK. Wondering if i should go for it. It would be an interesting exprerience too. hm..... I want to go Zara! Heard that they have already released their new range of clothes! Can't wait to check it out! However, i must remember to keep a tight rein on my wallet! Control myself!

Everything looked and sounded unreal.Nothing was what it is. That's what i wanted - to be alone with myself in another world where truth is untrue and life can hide from itself. Out beyond the harbour,where the road runs along the beach, i even lost the feeling of being on land. The fog and the sea seemed part of each other. It was like walking on the bottom of the sea. As if i had drowned a long time ago. As if i was a ghost belonging to the fog , and the fog was a ghost of the sea. It felt damned peaceful to be nothing more than a ghost within a ghost.

sometimes, u just want to get away from it all, from all the realities and pressures of life. Escapism. That's what it is. At times, i can really understand why the Tyrones [ from Long Day's Journey Into Night] welcome the fog. The fog shuts you out from all the harshness of reality. Pressure really gets to people,so much so that they welcome any form of release from it,even if it is just temporary. However, being in this world means that we have to face up to life n the pressures that come with it. Wouldn't it be nice to be free from all these??? Sadly, we can only find a temporary form of escape, never a permanant one. What goes around, comes around. We will still be stuck with our problem no matter how we run away from it. Where then can we seek solace and refuge??

Got back all my results already.One word to describe it: HORRIBLE! To think that i studied harder than i did for my Promos n i actually ended up with these kind of results! Or am i that dumb? Anyway, looks like i gotta study harder if i'm ever going to get into uni. *sighz*

On to happier things now. I'm gonna buy my luggage trolley bag tomorrow! yay...=P Oh, i've gotta go to sch for drama. That's gonna spoil my day. I still don't feel anything for drama at all. I know i'm supposed to love it, or at least show my support for it. But sadly, no matter how i try, i just can't. This goes to show that Drama is that bad.yep. Why must CCA be included into the total uni score?? My performance in Drama isn't exactly stellar. Luckily, i can get extra points due to my being a subject rep. Also,i joined the Maths Olympiad last year, which translates to another 2 points. =) Hopefully, the total score i get for PEARLS will be quite decent. Oh well, at least i won't have to go for Drama after Drama Night on 8th May. 1 more mth to go. yep.looking forward to it.

You were at a fast food restaurant. You spotted your friend sitting on a bench outside. When you approached, he was wiping a tear from his face.

I was jolted and jostled around by the crowd in the shopping center. It was a Saturday morning like any other, the shopping centers crammed full of eager shoppers. And it just so happened that today, there was a 50% discount at John Little, so the crowd was worse than usual. I had tripped and fallen, and had nearly been trampled, but I escaped with minor injuries, having used a rugby technique of exposing my back and protecting my ears and head.

I was the master of my will this time, since I was out gallivanting on my own with nobody to pester me to hurry up. Thus, I decided to head to the nearby fast food restaurant to get a soft drink. Normally, my mother would have stopped me from drinking such sugary, aerated drinks, but since she wasn’t here today… doesn’t everybody have a bit of the devil in them? Strolling leisurely towards the restaurant, I noticed a familiar figure sitting on a bench outside the restaurant, looking sad and forlorn. As I neared him, he wiped a solitary tear off his face. I recognized him as one of my friends from my school.

I walked up to him, my face etched with concern. He let out an audible sob, and then wiped more tears away. When I asked him what had happened, he simply shook his head, coughed, and made a weak attempt to explain. However, he was suddenly overcome by a series of racking coughs. My heart went out to him, as he looked so pitiful. Not even the most heartless being on the face of the earth could resist feeling pity for this poor soul.

“What happened?” I repeated, my voice soft and full of concern. He coughed again, his eyes watering, and rasped, “Too much chilli in my cheeseburger…”

Getting back most of my block tests results this week. so far, what i've gotten back is pretty sucky.. bleah. Anyway, i still hate drama[what's new?] n i've only gone to sch 3 days this week. =) I'm gonna have 3 periods of econs tomorrow! That translates to 2 hours stuck in a room with Mrs Tan n her favourite subject. Econs. Nvm.i like econs. i really do! i know u guys don't believe me, but oh well... I think i'm gonna get back my econs,lit and maths by tomorrow. Yuck,yuck n triple yuck! I heard that so many ppl failed! Pray hard that i'm not one of them. yep yep.

n to Denise Nah Shu Yun, yeah, i know i owe u big time. But seriously, thanks a lot for helping me do the photoshop thingamajig. You're the only one whom i know knows how to use photoshop, that's why.

I'm not going for drama on sat. yay! Got CIP to do. haha.. The drama ppl can just get out of my life...preferably forever. It's back to the study grind after resting for so long. I really must stop myself from watching all those HK Drama Serials. They are just so addictive. ARGH!! Its like a drug. You know that it's bad, but u just keep watching it over n over again. This is bad, real bad. *tsk tsk tsk*

I'm getting real interested in photography now. Seems very interesting. However, i'm still kinda confused over all the photographic lingo they use. I actually thought an SLR cam was equal to a DC! So malu.... Anyway, i'm still trying to sell off my C-300Z to fund my Canon A70. The A70 has more manual controls n i've heard that its pretty good for night shots too. It would be the perfect camera if it weren't so heavy. Am deciding btw a A70 or a Nikon 3100. However, though the pictures taken by the Nikon are comparable to Canon, its day shots are kinda weird. They seem too bright somehow.But the Nikon 3100 is definitely much much much lighter than the A70. Both use CF Cards, so storage shouldn't be a problem. Someone help me out here!! I'm in a big dilemna! =(

I'm suffering from withdrawal symptoms of not eating Popeye's Chicken at Changi Airport. Debbie! Its all your fault for introducing me to it! huh! The chicken's better than KFC, though albeit salty. The biscuit's perfect! So yummy with the syrup. The mashed potato has chicken bits in it. yum...need i say anymore? Popeye's Chicken should open more outlets in S'pore. I bet that they will definitely win KFC hands down. KFC prices are increasing.but the size of their servings seem to be decreasing, as it is with the other fast food outlets like Mcdonald's,Long John Silvers......... Is there a inverse relationship or what? Prices increase n so servings decrease? Perhaps they feel that LDMR might take place? Seriously questionable.

Now, on to sch food. I really dislike sch food. In my opinion, of all the schools that i've been to, only Tao Nan has the best food. Up till now, i'm still thinking of the wonderful Mee Rebus, the yummy Chicken Rice and the tasty Fishball Mee... Prices aren't that high too. in SA, i seem to be eating the same food over n over again. I alternate btw Char Bee Hoon,Prata n Fishball Mee. The Prata is nice though. I like the curry. Not too spicy. =) that's the best part! haha.

haha...lovely pic.

For your viewing pleasure...n more laughter..



Debbie n Esther...one of my fave photos. just lurveeeee the expression on Esther's face!

Exams Are Over!!!

whee....i'm so darn happy! once the last paper was collected today, the whole room erupted into cheers. Exam week has been totally draining on me, so much so that i didn't even have time to update! I really don't know how well i'm going to do for my exams, but i can't really be bothered anymore. All that matters is that exams are over! yay!

There's going to be a triumvirate outing tomorrow! We're going to Changi Airport.haha.. weird place ya? Its just that S'pore is getting pretty boring. You've seen one shopping center,you've seen them all. there's just nothing new anymore. Anyway, its good in a sense since i'm in the saving mood. yeah, i'm still saving up for HK. Not a bad amt saved so far.=P
