Gonna take loads and loads of beautiful pictures!!

The salesperson was really great. 5 stars plus a cherry on top xD
Gave us loads of freebies too!
Love his lips ahaha.

A walk in the park

"ni kan, ta men hai gei ni close... closeraw.. closelaw.. roseclaw.."
"mom, it's coleslaw.."
"orh, closesaw."


Finally got my laptop back from the wrath of my father xD

And Corinne May wrote on my uncle's facebook wall. Corinne May leh!
Wah lao.

I'm currently saving up to buy myself a camera.
Gonna use up all my ang bao money for it so that i can snap many pictures in Australia...

You know, i used to hate the country.
I still dislike the accent.
I'll slap myself if someone says i'm starting to speak like an aussie.

Went jogging with my mother 9 days ago.




A darting squirrel





















More like taking a stroll around the park actually, haha.

Sentosa trip

The first thing some people do when they wake up, is thank God for a brand new day.
I just groan.

This is going to be a boring post, but I must post about Friday's Sentosa outing, lest i forget it happened.

Met Roy at 5pm and waited for Wes at Bukit Batok mrt before heading to Vivo.
Unfortunately, we got too engrossed in our conversation, and realised the mrt had stopped at Aljunied. Lol.
It was 6.30pm when we arrived.

Someone called my name and i whipped my head around, to find
Grace! Wearing the same shirt as me! Our class tee!! LOL, both of us were like "EH?!"

For dinner, I ate Wes' "parting gift" to me; cupcorn. and Shanghai noodles and Salmon rice set.

It was really dark when we reached Sentosa.
We strolled to the beach and ate our remaining dinner near the sand, while sharing our most embarrassing moments. Quite hilarious. Esp Hj's.

After dinner Roy and i took off our footwear and soaked our feet in the sea water, while HJ and her man continued to spend quality time with each other.

The water was cold, yet soothing. Roy said it was therapeutic or something. Wes refused to take off his shoes dispite much cajolling(how do u spell this thing) by me, so he just took pictures of us.

We did many jumping shots. So funny and tiring. haha.

Then we raced to the bridge and walked to the "small island" and took more jumping shots and shouted at HJ and soaked our feet and did some modelling. Yes, modelling. Lol.

Then my near-death experience occured.
I was attempting to sit on the rope on the bridge when it snapped and i fell backwards.
All that was going through my mind was "I'M GOING TO DIE I'M GOING TO DIE I'MGOINGTODIEI'MGOINGTODIEI'MGOINGTODIE..."
Cuz all that was beneath that bridge was black water, and i would drown for sure if i went fell into it.
But then, there was a *THUD* sound. That's when i realised i fell on sand.
And my mind was going "THANK GOD THANK GOD THANKGODTHANKGODTHANKGOD..."

Another embarassing moment to add to my record.

I was so exhausted on the way home and when i woke up, Wes and i were at Aljunied again. We took the wrong direction home.

My apologies to a certain someone who left in a huff that day. I apologize on behalf of Wes too. Hope you're feeling better.


PS Added pics to the prev post =)

I will remember

I'm a 17-going-on-18 year young female.
If nothing goes wrong, i'd be living till a ripe ol' age of 80 or 90 or even, God forbid, 100.
I'm still learning new things along the way, every single day.
There's so much in store for me to discover.
So if you're around my age and you're thinking of giving up, you're just missing out on a lot of things in store for u.
Don't wait for things to happen; make it happen.
Lol, random, i know.


Went back to school on Wed to hand in the withdrawal form.
Although i didn't meet any of my classmates, i met my Interact Club friends who brightened up my day.
Greg, James, Jinghui, Milo, Han Lyn, Shana, Louise, Sherry, Jackass... I really don't want to forget them.. I've got a really lousy memory so in the years to come, when i look back at my archives, i will remember these people who've been through that freakin camp with me...


Interact exco with a missing President

Greg and Milo... same pri, sec and jc. I can't forget what Greg said to me.. "We've known each other since Pri schl, and now you're suddenly leaving..."
And
James said that it's probably the last time i'll be seeing him... which is so true. He's a really funny guy, and eccentric at times.. We acted for syf drama too. My first act on stage is something which i will never forget.. Sangeetha, Eve, Sharron... oh man..


SYF drama cast & crew

Me and
milo used to sit next to each other in pri sch. I vaguely remember all the crazy things we used to do.. From playing catch every single morning right before assembly, to eating her leftovers during recess... Oh crap, and there's WanYu, Jaslyn, Yan Hui... and so many super fun and crazy pri schl friends which i don't want to forget...
Well, at least i'll be seeing
PeiQi in Aus.. but STILL.

CRAPCRAPCRAPCRAPCRAP

Oh yeah, and there's my new town best buds for LIFE.
AMOEBA. We've been through thick and thin together. We'll always be amoeba. Ain't that right guys!!



I've got so many pictures of these people.. PAE people, interact people, drama people, West Zone Line Camp people... wa lao. if my com were to screw up one day.. i'd cry for the rest of the day. and maybe the day after. and the day after that.

And not forgetting my jc classmates!
Although i wasn't very 'involved' with much of their activities as 2008 was kinda my 'depressed' year, i still feel bonded to them. I WILL NOT FORGET my emo friends
Jia Yi(known her since sec sch, actually), Yee Fei, Zili(since pri sch, actually).


08s29

Really thank God for the Korea Trip, which brought me closer to classmates
Jessica, Sujia(since sec sch, actually), Ash and Yan Bing. And new friends Anna(since line camp, actually), GuanYi, Ying Quan, fellow stickwoman Wen Jie(since syf auditions, actually).


Korea Trip Econs Strand

It will be a crime to forget
SOAR friends. We've practically grown up together la. Since we were toddlers! esp Zhen Ping, best buds since KINDERGARTEN.



Oh. My. Gold Teeth. So many people who have made an impact in my life, one way or another.

CRAP.

I will miss u guys.

Screwed

My Windows Live Messenger is screwed up
My HP shut itself down (How.. how could you do this to me! When have i mistreated you huh? HUH??)
So now i'm using my mother's super old and ugly antique phone which goes "clack clack clack" when i press the buttons.

I met Pei Qi during the College briefing today!
Man.. it's been like, 5 years since i last seen her.. and her mother still remembers me. xD
Met my new friend, Christine, for the 2nd time. I think we officially became friends today, lol.

Went back to JJ to get the withdrawal form. Might be going back to hand in the letter tomorrow :D

I'm going for my morning excercise tomorrow! So not excited!!

Rotting at home

FruitTree Fresh makes me happy!

In case you're wondering what on this ruddy earth have i been up to these few days, i can only say that i've been busying myself with

NOTHING.

Besides going to have a body checkup, i've been practically rotting myself to death at home.

Wanted to spend some time doing some quiet reading but i just couldn't get myself to sit down and take out a book because my mind was really somewhere else.

YESTERDAY, ooh yesterday. Found myself walking around the house at friggin 5am in the morning because i could not get myself to sleep.

I really really really need to start doing some maths by next week.

AARGH this is driving me crazy.

I MISS MY FRIENDS!!!! ='(

Well, at least there's something to look forward to tomorrow..

Tuesday, January 13, 2009

My mind is full of thoughts, emotions, memories.

But when i feel like typing them out, i don't know what to say.

I'm so exhausted right now.

Little Nyonya

The alternative ending to Little Nyonya

月娘 begged 刘一刀 to go to S'pore to save 玉珠. So 刘一刀 went to the Zhang's home, determined to bring 玉珠 back to Malacca. Robert initially refused, and soon a scuffle broke out between the 2 men. And with a slick flick of his butcher's knife, 刘一刀 managed to turn Robert into a eunuch. Amidst the chaos, 玉珠and 刘一刀 escaped...and while they were running, their eyes met, and it was lust at first sight for 玉珠 and 刘一刀. They got married after getting back to Malacca and lived together happily ever after. 玉珠's mental condition miraculously recovered in a years time under 刘一刀's tender loving care. Eventually, they gave birth to 3 beautiful daughters, namely 肥猪,懒猪 and 笨猪... collectively known as the 3 只小猪. Dun worry, 刘一刀 no longer slaughters pigs for a living (see below, he started helping 月娘 in her business), so their kids are in no danger.

陈锡 - moved to England, where he previously studied. He realised that Nyonya food will be a new and unique cuisine in England, and so decided to set up a Nyonya food empire, with chicken soup (还我鸡汤) as the signature dish of his food empire. He eventually became a very successful food entrepreneur. And for his contribution to England's food industry, he was knighted as Sir ChenXi. remains unmarried.

月娘 - remained in S'pore and Malacca to expand her bird's nest business. Set up New Moonlady (literally 新月娘) Bird's Nest Company to rival the New Moon Abalone Company. While New Moon hired Fann Wong to advertise for it, 月娘 hired 欧萱 to advertise for her New Moonlady Bird's Nest Company. 月娘 became CEO of the company, and her brother 刘一刀 became vice-CEO. Through her sheer intelligence and wit, and with 刘一刀 help, New Moonlady Bird's Nest Company became the premier bird's nest company in Singapore. 月娘 also became the richest women in S'pore. Remains unmarried.

Year 2008 Coundown Party at Vivocity, organized by Channel 8 - Old 陈锡 returned to S'pore for a business trip. Despite their old age, Old 月娘 and Old 陈锡 still feel young at heart and decided to join the young crowd for the countdown party at Vivocity. As luck will have it, they met at the party, and recognized each other instantly. They realized that they still have deep feelings for each other, and so decided to get married and live together happily ever after.


I can't believe i actually went to look for this.

Twilight Trailer in HD

The trailer made the movie look so good..

But if you read the book before watching the movie, you'll know it sucked.


Edward Cullen should NOT look so hideous.

Resolutions

Anyway, since i figured i'd be rotting at home for the rest of the day, 与其 feel grumpy all day, 不如 do something constructive like thinking of RESOLUTIONS FOR THE YEAR.

So here are 5 RFTY in no particular order:

1) Be more responsible. Responsibility matters in making critical decisions.. i guess. I need!

2) Have more courage. Sandy is right. I need courage. Loads and loads and loads of it.

3) Be more disciplined. I lack discipline, i know.

Been record-breaking late for school last year. This year, when i'm all by myself in a foreign land, i will have no one to help me in minor things like waking up and cooking and monitoring my academic progress. I need discipline. I need to work hard so that the scholarship will be mine.. MINE! MUAHAHAHA...

No more procrastination. When something needs to be done, do it. YES MAN, YES MAN, YES MAN, YES MAN!

4) Be more optimistic. This i need. This i must have. If not, i die.

eg of optimism: Yes i'm alone now!! no friends!! no one to help me in times of trouble!!! WHOO! this could be the happiest day in my life, for all i know!

On second thought, screw optimism.
I need positive attitude.

5) Let God take control of my life. It's hard, cuz i dunno how. But somehow, someday, He will lead me. I know. i can feeeel it.

I'm a 过来人. I must admit, i've left Him out for too long. There were times in 2008 when i questioned the meaning of our existence, the meaning of life. To a point where i went into a state of denial. My faith just wasn't there.

Until i stepped into the church again. I felt the warmth, the feeling that i was back home again. I'm not exaggerating on this. I felt that this is where i belonged, where i have to be. I have known my purpose all this while, but i chose to deny, because i refused to accept, because i blocked Him out of my life. That was when i realised,

Without You, i'm naught.

To those of you who don't believe in God, i really wanna say that you are making a very wrong choice in not accepting the truth. Maybe whatever i say will be nothing to u, so i shan't waste my energy to try to convince u that God really exists.

I just wanna say that the difference between believing and not believing is significant, and u really can feel it. No one can force u into believing something is true, so i shan't say no more.


But this doesn't mean i'm not doing anything to change your perspective *cheeky grin*

I WILL PROVE TO YOU THAT HE EXISTS, SOMEDAY. JUST U WAIT!

I find M1's motto very meaningful, simple as it is.

1 life, live it.

Period kills

~She was the prince

Supposed to go for lunch with the korean trip people today.. But OF ALL DAYS THAT DREADED CURSE OF THE MONTH HAD TO CURSE ME OFFICIALLY TODAY. Yesterday was the start of the symptoms..

HAPPY NIU YEAR

What a tiring yesterday~~~

Went to church for the countdown. So glad Ping and Cosina were there, esp Ping. Been AGES since i last seen her =D

Went to Swensens after church. Debbie shared with us her experiences while studying in Aussie and i think it's really funny but scary at the same time. I think i'll be traumatized if i were to experience it..

Stayed at Swensens till 2 or 3am. Was super tired already. Still have to walk all the way to Esther's house!! =.= Never imagined it would be SO far. Maybe it's cuz i was tired.. Jason's ghost conversation was quite interesting tho. Kept me awake. Ping is such a coward.

Watched John Tucker Must Die. Then Dumb and Dumber. That movie looks so damn old! Then everyone gradually fell asleep at around 5am.

So now i'm finally back home, tired like.. tired.

The highlight of this week is my mother's birthday!

Just look at all those facial expressions

She blew out the one candle by clapping.


AHAHAHA!






Cutest mother in da house!

Twilight the movie is such a disappointment. Worst movie i've ever seen.
