Let's waste time, downloading stuffs.

Technically it's not wasting time, but times like these... home alone during the holidays... are meant to be boring and meaningless and everything I don't want it to be. But sometimes MEEEEE time is unusually peaceful and serene too! Depends on your perspective la, sometimes it makes me go bonkers. Especially when I'm PMS-ing.

But these days, I don't know whether it's because of my happy hormones or just plainly because things are just going smoothly for me or whatever, I'm enjoying my holidays just as much! Went out during the past2 days, and boy, I did lots of shopping YIPPEEEEE!

Not for clothes, actually, but more on books...records... and all that stuff.

Don't really wanna elaborate too much, I'm still transferring videos into my iphone, which is taking a hell out of my time. Gotta figure out a pattern to work out those things! Oh yeah, the best thing about yesterday was that both Mom and Dad took leave and we spent out 'mini sunday' back to NP to get all my free programmes back on my Fujitsu! And not that I'm over-paranoid or whatever - which I really don't think I am - but just now the HD stopped responding and I had to force shut it down. Argh. I swear I'll save up and get a Macbook pro before I graduate from NP. And that MS Office software that costs less than 20 bucks! I'm really beginning to see the perks of being a local student. In Singapore context, I mean. I wonder if foreign schools actually have this kind of benefits for students? But the softwares are really a good buy. Will remember to get it before I graduate I SWEAR!

Okay then we went around shopping and eating and eating and shopping. I bought Goodbye Lullabye! WOOHOO! I mean my mom bought it for me. DOUBLE WOOHOOO!!! I feel I'm getting so stingy about my finances and all that nowadays. HMMS.

Okay Wednesday was just a trip to town to get some pop up books I adore. Like the Little Prince Deluxe pop up edition. YEAH, THAT. And many others. Well not much, if not I'll be broke by now. Heh!

Oh! I met up with the BITCHES for dinner on Monday too! It's so funny, Jerica and Shuhui came by to watch some movies before meeting for dinner. Insider story, but I'll remember this forever. Maybe even confess to my mother about what happened when I'm older. And legal. I mean 21. But it's so much fun!

Other days are spent at home or at ahma's. So nice, I kind of like to play with Jovianne. She's so cute and all that, but meltdowns, it's a nono for me. Hahaha, see, that's some advantages of not being a mother to a kid. You can simply avoid the meltdowns and get away ASAP, not being responsible for anything. And oh my, I do sound very irresponsible! Especially when I'm with people who are more responsible for thinggs compared to me. Ah, I'm sidetracking and babbling.

Nevermind.

Channel U is showing this awesome show about private investigaters and solving cases and all that. Kind of like a sitcom, where there's funny things that happened every now and then. And so, after solving a case - currently only 2 - this madam will type a report and conclude about the mission. I've been keeping a mental track of those quotes from her since day 1:

Temptation is like poison coated with sugar. Once the sugar melts after tasting it, it's just too late to escape from the poison.

Behind every photograph, there are stories only the photographer knows themselves.

Something like that.

Yesterday Once More... Please?

Simply loved yesterday to bits! I was out for the whole day and it never felt better! I just love it when I go to the great outdoors, especially with oldies like Shuhui, Jerica and the other bitches! It was so fun, however it was only us 3 who went out yesterday.

Argh, I was supposed to have gotten my free softwares like Photoshop and MS Office by now. Yesterday's trip back to NP was completely a waste. I forgot to bring the proof of change of harddisk and the IT personnel didn't want to help me get back all the softwares. Completely wasted trip. Aiyooooo!

Shuhui and I shopped for a bit at IMM, where I tried on so many clothes I felt so malu I didn't buy any of them. HEHE! Oh yeah, the new Kbox outlet at CCK was the bomb! Super new facilities and I was even able to record and bluetooth my new cover, Listen by Beyonce to my phone! Furthermore, ONLY $6 FOR 3 HOURS! Okay, 2.5hours to be exact, but we sure had fun! Gotta go there with MAwar and Yana sometime! YEEEEHAWW!

And so it was so fun we decided to extend the timing and pay another 6 bucks to sing til 7, but unfortunately bookings were full): Us last-minuters decided to catch I AM NUMBER 4 at Lot 1 shopping mall instead. Ahahaha, don't you just love the excitement of UNPREDICTABILITY? It was 4.45Pm and we managed to get really good seats for the 5.10PM slot. Seriously, when we got in the theatre I realised the whole row was taken by only the 3 of us. BEYOND AWESOME!

Ahyi told me to get some goodies for her colleagues as her thank-you-for-your-well-wishes-while-i-got-2-months-of-paid-leave-at-home-cos-i-fractured-my-bone-when-i-fell-into-the-drain-while-walking gifts. Luckily Shuhui was around to make the experience more enjoyable and less stressful for me. Surprisingly I lugged everything, yes, CHOCOLATES AND JUNKFOOD WORTH S$106.25 home by MYSELF. Thank you very much.

And actually, I wouldn't mind not having a job for the whole of my entire 1.5 months of vacation. See the point? I don't feel like slogging out for more money when you get to rest, then start year 2 with a not-so-good-note. Oh, come on! Holidays and vacations are meant to be enjoyed! I'm not even pressed for money, truthfully. I think my current temporary income of a meek $80 a month from tuition is enough to keep me alive.

Endings.

Perfect? Happy?

Ah, I don't care. What matters most, I think, is how much you've taken away from it. What have you learnt? What have you experienced? What are the new encounters? New people?

Doing the annual conclusion now seems rather appropriate - I've completed all my assignments (like finally!), all except one module have wrapped up, souvenirs given. I can't believe tomorrow's really the last day of my 1st year in poly. Seriously, how did I get here?

Okay, I have to admit, in the midst of YOG, elearning weeks and vacations, our holidays are SUPER LONG. They are probably as long as our schooling days. But well, it's been a fun ride. Met new people, no matter how much I hate about opening myself up to more people and all, I have to. And it all comes down to those who have stayed; those that I've chosen to stay with. Can't really imagine life without friends, so here's to Mawar, Yana, Hafiza, Evangeline, Aisyah and Raihanna! It's been such an interesting year yaw!

It's so good to still have old friends like Shuhui and gang. I loved that we still made a point to keep in contact, host stayovers, celebrate birthdays and all that. Making a point to still meet up and catch up with each other's lives! (No matter how different they have all become...) It's so wonderful we still interact and gossip and yack like those good ol' secondary school days, when we're still in that pure innocent lives of ours. Simple sweet and happy. Those days are always one of the best moments of my life.

Me Yana and MAwar had this so-called end of semester celebration today. Karaoke was too expensive and we settled for a movie instead. Oh my, we had so much fun! And I laughed so loudly in the cinema, but I don't care. Somehow, it reminded me of the days where me and Isabel will always be the dramamamas of the whole cinema.

Attachment has also come to an end. Mixed feelings - that's what I call it. I often wonder how it would be like if we actually stayed on at Kindercare. But I stopped thinking already. Sigh, it's always like this, it's always when that something in your life is about to disappear, that you begin to regret for all the negative feelings you once had at first. It has always been like that for me. Ah but now, I'll miss the kids soooo much. It's such a pity I only get to know the mature K2 kids towards the last 2 weeks of my attachment. I felt soooo bad for not being able to do the art lesson for everyone last Tuesday. I think this will be one of the regrets of my whole life. I wonder if the kids will miss me? Or even remember me? I don't think so.

I think I'm gonna name my future daughter Caitlin. Or Kaitlyn. Oh, and Arielene too. Or Annabelle. Haha.

And how can I forget sons? Jayden will be on the top of my list and Asher and...?!?!

There were once soo much words and feelings in my head, but I don't know why it has all gone to where it seemed impossible to locate.

I think I'll just continue to go with the flow. Be more confident. And contented. Don't complain too much! Everything has its own good and bad, depends on how you see it. And all these memories? Stored and locked inside my head for as long as I live.

I'm gonna go have my beauty sleep soon, late class tomorrow! YAY!

Just keep swimming, just keep swimming~~~

Old friends, new memories.

Yay! I'm so proud of myself that in spite of today being a fun fun fun day, I still managed to get some school work done. Shuhui, Isabel, Xinying, Weiloke, Yonglin, Rahayu and I went visiting for Chinese New Year today and it was so so soooooo fun!

We played monopoly deal and some poker at ahma's then went to my place to play mahjong until almost midnight. They've just left, and I figured I'll spend some time after bathing to do some blogging instead of continueing with my work! No worries, I'll leave that for tomorrow morning, when I'm clear and fresh and wide awake!

I still can't believe it's almost the end of the semester though, but the lesson implementation with the supervisor is still giving me the jitters and the creeps. I seriously don't know what to expect, and ahhhh I hate this feeling of not knowing and whatever. Hopefully I'll make it. Keeping my fingers crossed.

WeiLoke's Canon 550D is making me doubt my decision for purchasing my Nikon. AHHHHH all thew wrong choices I made. But it happens, don't they? I think the next camera I'll get for myself after my 3-year warranty finishes will be a Canon. Sorry, Nikon, but... you know. Oh yeah, I won't get the plastic-ky feeling basic kit lens though. It just feels so cheapo and fake. But I'm loving how Canon's pictures look already, compared to mine. Hmm. Maybe it's the different screen resolution that made me think this way? Well, I still have a long way to go, and it's not that important too. I'm just learning and having fun. We'll see.

It's such a good feeling to have old friends gather together and doing the same thing. Haha, I loved it that we didn't change and were still as hyper and high as always. There's not even a tinge of awkwardness and whatsoever. Everything just goes and flows and all that. It's so good to know that at the end of the day, there'll be someone there whom you know you can trust with your life. Someone other than family I mean. It's good to know.

And I had so much fun, just like all the other previous years!

2009...

2010...

2011...


We've grown in our own ways and leading our own paths... but when we gather together, nothing ever changes. THANK GOD FOR FRIENDS!

Oh yeah, you know what's the best thing? We always made it a point to go ahma's to eat and SHOOT OUR GROUP SHOT AT THE SAME PLACE EVERY YEAR!

To listen and be heard.

Isn't this a great thing?

To know that people actually listens to what you're saying and to hear what others have to say? This, is what I call effective communication. Or interaction, I suppose. I haven't had anyone who has listened so sincerely to me for such a long time, and it's such a great feeling to have, especially when it is evoked from someone in Poly. Thanks, Hafiza for having a listening ear, I had soooooo much fun talking with you, you know!

Not that my BFFs like Shuhui don't listen to what I say, but I hadn't really expected I would find a person to really share my guts out and in turn return the favour by listening to them talk here in Poly.

Don't worry, BITCHES, you're still the best!

Listening, to me, is such a great skill to have. If you just talk incessantly, no one will listen to you. And it's such a pleasure to be listening and to understand what people has to say, it's such a nice thing to do. Just shut up and listen. To the people around you, to your surroundings, to everyone and everything. Sometimes, you learn and experience more when listening, and not talking.

I love to share my thoughts. And I like to know that people appreciates them and listens to what I have to say. This is important to me. Unless you don't want me to talk. Haha! (I can be more than a little irritating sometimes too!)

Effective communication and interaction sounds so easy, but are listening and speaking at the right times as easy?

For me, not really. But it's an experience. A great one. It's so good to listen to what others have to say, it's even a better feeling when you can relate to their words and feelings.

You just have to find the right person to share, and talk, and have a hell of a great time.

What a wonderful day today!

18 plus a little bit.

Okay, this was posted a bit late, and I feel so bad about it.

Now a recent problem I have is that I have 2 blogs and I DON'T KNOW how to distinguish which kind of post is for which blog, and I HAVEN'T BEEN POSTING EVERYDAY for a while now. And also, I took pictures but I'm just too plain lazy to load it up on the computer and maybe do some post processing. And so for the delayed post.

I've received so much love during my 18th birthday that I decided, hell come high water and all that, I'm gonna post about it to remind me of how fortunate I am.

Funny but true, this was what I posted in Wordpress but then made it a private post because of my confusion as to which blog is this content for. I decided this shalll be the blog. Heh!

And here it goes~~~

Blessed

I am blessed. I am so blessed.

MEALS, 3 or more in a day,
BED, lots of late nights, but comfy enough in many ways,
SCHOOL that is sometimes annoying but fun(in a way!),
FRIENDS that ridicule and tease but care,
FAMILY that often irritates but loves.


Seriously, should there be more I should/could have asked for? I think not at the moment.

Okay, just a new ikea shelf to store and display all my life treasures. How about that?

On the last day of 2010...

Okay! It's a little late for me to post this, but I sure have fun things to share! Outings with old friends will never EVER be boring, and it's a reminder of who you are! Oh, those memories, I will hold them ever so dearly.

So! We went to Vivo for my iPhone warranty, and I got the phone immediately! Which was surprising, but in a good sense(: The queue was damn long, and it's people mountain people sea there, if you ask me. I've never seen such nice long queues for the scanning of the ezlink card (except that one woman who kept squeezing and cutting queues while complaining to her 4-5yo son of the crowd-.-). We ate at food republic and I ate lei cha! OMG so nice man! I haven't ate this delicacy since lantern festival at Shuhui's last year. YUMYUM.

We changed our plans and went directly to Teo Heng instead of playing water first. But very nice, 10+ bucks for 4 hours! At night somemore! Only Mom who didn't know the karaoke market will think it's expensive. Piss me off ah. ZZZ.

I was feeling ever so skeptical about going to ulu ulu Waterfront for countdown, but there was so many people it's suffocating. I didn't even have the space for catching the fireworks put up at the other coast Malaysia. But it was oh-so-very-the-nice! We played with our own fireworks thing and decided to call it a night, BACK TO SHUHUI'S!


Haha, sleepovers are always fun, we played monopoly deal and mahjong and talked and laughed for what seemed like hours. Okay, it's hours, to be honest. Everyone kinda vowed to only go to sleep after 6 in the morning, and WE DID IT! We re-enacted Jerica's 'nightwalking', Jeanette Aw's character in the 9pm show, Xinying's snoring and more more more! So funny, Isabel suspected Terence had tears flowing down. But yeah, good memories. And I get to sleep with the bunny Shuhui bought from KL last year! BEST!


So here's to ever-lasting friendships!

post christmas!

Soooooooooo we went to CSI Exhibition on Tuesday much thanks to ah leng ah yi! Quite okay, but not as good as I expect it to be. But we had fun nonetheless!


Today's the Singapore Art Museum trip with Yana Mawar and her brother. It's nice, a whole new experience. And free as well, heh! The whole place was pretty confusing, with the same walkways everywhere. But it was cool! Fadzli recognised a certain route when we passed by this bench with a bottle on it. He was super cute and funny all the way. Haha, our little entertainer! We managed to discuss some assignments thing thing and all that, so it was good, I feel better. And so after that we went to find some food and in the end walked all the way to Bugis. I don't know how far it was or how great an achievement it is, but we did it. YEAH! Ate at KFC and then the others went to the National Library while I trained home. Okay la, not bad. And they say I was the slowest. Hehe! I'm always the slowest yaw!


Oh yeah! Did I mention the authentic italian restaurant I wanted to go to was there too?! And OMG the smell coming out from the enclosed space. YOU CAN JUST IMAGINE.


OH, and the make a wish thing to display right at the entrance? NICE.



OH OH OH YEAH! FRIDAY WILL BE PRE NEW YEAR, SO WATCH OUT! HAHAHA CAN'T WAIT, BITCHES!

Christmas Days!

Whee! It's such a belated Christmas post yaw! I've really got so many things to do and so many places to go! Just went to this Gardenia factory today, to CSI exhibition tomorrow, Singapore Arts Museum the next, and it's New Year's Eve with the bitches on Friday! I smell SLEEPOVERS! Can't wait!

Assignments are stressing me up at the back of my head. It's not really a good time to think of these anti-climax things you know. And the thought of going back to school sucks. Cos I'll be busy and waking up early in the morning AGAIN. Hopefully I will survive. Let's not think about these things anymore. Let's not.

And so! Sleepovers have always been my favourite chill out events! I'm so glad I'm having 2 in less than 2 weeks! The first one was during Christmas Eve. So nice, we were playing mahjong and monopoly deal til early morning. Then Jerica was the first to sleep, and me and Shuhui chatted about romantic flicks and books til 6.17AM. Yes, I checked the time before we eventually dozed off. The aircon was in perfect temperature, and that bread-lookalike bunny was a perfect replacement of my bolster. In fact, better. I slept SUPERBLY WELL.


Next day was tiring. I went out with my parents after leaving Shuhui's, and we shopped for the longest possible time. I was so tired I didn't sleep right after I reached Grandma's. The cake was quite good, and we decided to draw and decorate on ahyi's cast which was taken out today. Luckily I shot pictures! I swear it will pass as a greeting card or something. Maybe next year I'll print it out and send it as a greeting card maybe! At least to ahyi to remind her of these days~


Oh yeah, I need to clean my room and go IKEA one of these days! And get my brand new iPhone from Starhub soon! Well hopefully I do! We're gonna go Vivo on Friday to play and all YIPPEE!

this pretty much sums up everything...

everything as in Friday. Yana Mawar and me decided to still head to Woodlands Waterfront despite the others bailing out and all. So here's what happened.




The next time I'm going there, it's with Shuhui and Jerica! Maybe we'll stayover too, MUAHAHAHA!

I forgot what I did on Saturday. Honestly. Have been thinking about it for a while now.

Sunday, busy stressing and procrastinating on the evaluation which took me less than 2 hours to complete in reality. Went to Suntec too! The book fair was OKAY. I went down to the electronics and furniture fair and checked out NIKON D90! Gahh! I don't know what to say. If only my D5000's screen resolution is WHOOPEEDEEEWOWOWOWOWWOWIE, I have nothing to complain. But until the warranty ends, I don't think I'm gonna be settling for a new one.

Tomorrow's gonna be movie marathon day for me. Maybe a little homework or elearning? OR SLEEP. WE'LL SEE.

my life would suck without you!

today - or should I say yesterday - was the last tutorial session with our lovely Ms Lavina. Awesome lecturer, she is. You've got to be in her class to understand. I'm gonna miss doing those songs and watching kiddy videos and all her pop-up books. She even bought swiss rolls that was flown from Holland as a treat! Damn nice I tell you. Hermes even shot an advertisement with it. Will upload the videos during the weekends;)

We went for a tour in Australia today! It was so cool, hahhaa! The driving thing reminds me of Glee's Forget You video. I had lots of fun! I didn't even remember doing all these things in preschool last time. But it was FUN FUN FUN!

We ordered pizzas for the party and all, sang songs and recorded videos. Hehehe! I bet the ECH year 1s who did songs for Ms Lavina will be the mega stars on her iphone! Had some glitches here and there, hahaha, but everything was fine I guess. I had so much quality time I forgot about all my worries and everything. Just the happy and cheery me, for this 2 short hours.

Sighs. Creatures like us - can I relate to all females? - sentimental kinds, if you get me. Ahhh, I don't know. I'll miss her classes for sure, just like how I would miss Secondary school. It's the same feeling I had on graduation day last year. The feeling of longing and a little hint of melancholy.

2010 has been fairly good to me. It's ending soon too, ugh. Soon I'll be year 2 and there comes all the stress again. Well I hope Ms Lavina will teach us again! HOPEFULLY PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!

As usual, time flies when you're having fun.

Here's to memories and cameras which capture those moments forever.

friends for life.

Yesterday was totally uncalled for. First, my supervision. Next, Zanessa went for a break. I practically hated most of yesterday.

Except for this
i admit to being sulky and emo most of the time when walking around with the ladies. See we got ourselves another group identity! UGH, I'm just worried la, I'm sorry. I keep telling myself to enjoy this day and think about other things when I get home. But just couldn't. Luckily implementation today was alright. In fact, it was A MILLION TIMES better.

Okay la, was super worried. And nervous. It's like going for piano practical exams all over again, now the feeling was extended to 1 day. WTH right. Really felt like giving up yesterday. Cried and cried. Heh.

Well I'm glad I'm better now.

Leaving on a Jet Plane.

What a familiar song. I remember doing this song on the guitar for our music assessment in Sec 2. Now this song held so much more meaning and memories.

Today's the last session of Performing Arts lecture with Ms Lavina, and SHE BROUGHT HER KIDS OMGOMG! Super cute, they really look like her, especially the eyes. I gaurantee when they smile together, it will be copy and paste faces. If you get what I mean.

So it's such a fun day, cos' my day started out right, nothing's supposed to get in the way. Haha! Watched Wee-Sing Sillyville videos and all, really silly and funny. I was so crazy you won't know I slept for less than 4 hours the night before! Oh, this reminds me of the cookies Ms Lavina made! YES! SHE MADE COOKIES FOR THE WHOLE ECH YEAR 1s! Whoa, so damn very the nice! I ate a lot, I practically stuffed them in my mouth HAHAHAHA opps.

Mawar said I had high sugar intake thus the high-ness. But whatever! I enjoyed every bit of it! We even danced outside after the class when T03 did their performance. OMG Lady Marmalade brings back lots of great memories too! It's really unbelieveable how a song, or even a scent! can bring back so much memories in the past. Good memories. It's like re-living them all over again, and building the memories and piling them up as they get more and more.

Call me the Memory Keeper.

And so there's another awesome memory to add on for the song Leaving on a Jetplane. Ms Lavina sung the song to us! While playing the Ukelele! AWWW SERIOUSLY I WILL MISS HER LOTS MAN, and I swear I didn't ever ever sleep in her classes before. NOT EVER! IT'S THAT FUN AND ENTERTAINING! Those people sitting at the back during lectures should get a feel of how it's like sitting in the first 3 rows. Not that we have THAT much people-.-

HAFIZA EVEN CRIED. That's one video I will keep it for life. swear my life over it. Not gonna share it online or anything like that. It's very personal ya know!

GOD, I hate goodbyes. I almost cried too, it's so touching. Cos you see, in poly, sometimes, the lecturers don't give a damn. They just do their jobs and go. For us to have such a good relationship with this current lecturer, I think it's really 难得。

and so, we're gonna PARRTAYYYY COMING THURDAY DURING TUTORIAL! Last one, So sad. But I will take lots of pictures and everything! Memory keeper what(:

Then I'll upload everything during the break. Excluding the performance by Ms Lavina. And after that crybaby Hafiza with her tears. Hehe!

Time for assignments again! What a dumb thing to do now! HAHAHAHA!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Oh yeah, just to be fair, PLAY TUTORIAL was fun too. We went on a bear hunt and searched for puzzle pieces in the 'rivers', 'caves', 'stepping stones', 'mud', and everything. Studying in ECH really makes you relive and go back to your childhood years and everything. Except those memories will be etched in your heart more deeply than when you're young and... EGOISTIC?

Brings me back to PD. Low attendance, WHATEVER. I know the 3 things that i value most. They are PEACE, HAPPINESS AND QUALITY RELATIONSHIPS. And no one can tell me that they aren't the most important things, nor can they convince me that I'm wrong about how i feel towards life. Cos' it's my life and I know best. Heh!

It's a beautiful day, we have so many things to do!

Back and refreshed from 12 hours of uninterrupted sleep after 2 days at Changi Seaview Chalet! It's such an honour to have the chance to stay there, it's like a dream. Not ALL Singaporeans get a chance to book this chalet, you see;D I've always wanted to live in a beach house, wake up to the sun and seas and sand and all that, for Singapore to have this kind of place, it's really unbelieveable! hahaha!

We went to check in on Friday(lucky there's no FP for that day!), and explored that place. The only thing I regret was not going to the beach for a walk. I thought the games next day would offer me a chance to do so, but sadly, it wasn't the case:( Played poker cards with the others, and had a last meeting which had changed everything in the end.


Had a movie marathon, but I didn't watch them as I still settling the shirt stuff. Thank god for Kevin's parents, they helped me throughout the camp with this silly shirt stuff. And people really need to up their self-esteem a little; don't wait until they've got the size they have ordered and then realise it's too big for them for heaven's sake! Size L's a REALLY BIG size, you know!

Settled down around 2 mindnight, I guess, and watched Nanny Mcphee 2. I dozed off, but yeah, a signal for everyone that we might as well sleep. The elder ones slept on the rooms upstairs, so we decided to be the gate keepers for once. Heh! Wasn't a good long sleep, but good enough. Thanks for those who slept on the floor, chair, hard things, for if not for their sacrifice, I would have been the one sleeping on them instead of the comfy sofa.

The main day was quite a success, to my opinion! Although the day started with less than 20 people, we decided to continue the show and settled for plan b. Cycling at Ubin! Really can die. They chose this goddamn slope-y route that had me panting for goodness sake. I didn't even have the chance or the strength to take out my nikon to shoot things. But it's alright, if only I was not hanging on a thread of being sick and not sick, I would have conquered all the uphills like a did with the downhills. Gotta go try again next time!

More people came, luckily. Hosted this indoor games for a while, and it was really fun! Quite a success, thank you very much. Ivan helped, of course. Thank him very much. Sissy's game was fun too, I tried timelapsing them lining the plates together, but still not sure how it will look like. Silly, I guess.

Leng aunt's friend came to do a talk. For goodness sake, that's the time when the 4 lovely organisers took a break. Wasn't sure if promoting their products was a good thing or not, but I'm glad some audiences made a point to find out more after that. So it was great as well!


Dinner was SO YUMMY! I love how they could actually fry vercemilli and make them taste so good. Kevin did a great job in the impromptu games YAW! with the help of my sissy of course! Haha! The Santa thing was really surprising. Iloved the atmosphere there, when everyone came and settled down into groups and all. If only they were all here earlier. Ivan's millionaire questionaire was awesome as well! He's got good hosting skills, I swear. hahaha! I learnt quite an amount of stuffs too!


It was so hilarious, we decided to give them prizes like bread and other food stuff. They opened the box up and MUAHAHAHAHHAA! Kudos to Kevin the Mastermind! Well, everything has come to an end, a good one, I guess. We've got some really great advices and compliments and sponsors and even have some targets on the EXCOs for our subsequent events!

Ahhh, it's so good to be young(:

Silly Saturday!

YEEEHAWW! I'm BACK! For the BETTER! Heh!

Today's a really good day, compared to yesterday's suckish day. I don't even know what contemplated me to write that out. HMMS. So it's all good, it's all good(:

Mawar and Yana came to my place for the CAYC performance thing thing today! It was so cool, we had so much fun! And i can double, triple, if not quadruple and quintuple confirm plus chop plus sign that I, GAN GEK TENG, have TWO LEFT FEET. Okay? I can't dance, I suck at it, PERIOD.

But what's important is that I have lots of fun learning those dance steps and making them silly! Haha! At least they've got entertainment value, which I'm alright with!

We completed and rehearsed and everything within less than 2 hours. Really not expecting this at all. This shows how work oriented we are! YEAH! The rest of the time we spent on strumming the guitar and playing the piano. Oh, I still can't believe I have a PIANO IN MY ROOM. Hahaha! I LOOOOOVE IT! And today will be the day I played the guitar for the longest time of my life. Lucky thing is my fingers aren't hurting so bad now, they've all gone seasoned! Which is good. I don't have to have skin tearing off and hanging on the tips of my fingers every single time I play the guitar.

After that was dinner. Dad actually REMEMBERED to buy the mock prawns for me to try doing the Corn prawns or something like that I've learnt from Kevin's mom recently! Then we went to NTUC at civic to buy more things. I'm gonna be cooking carbonara speghetti tomorrow! Hopefully it will be successful. I'll keep my fingers crossed. Then maybe the next LADIES' sleepover, we'll cook that for dinner/supper/breakfast/WHATSOEVER! Whoo! Although we haven't come up with a date yet, I'm still excited!

Okay, gonna start tackling my play assignment now. Shush! It's not as easy as you think! The play PROCESS is fun, but not the play ASSIGNMENT. Those are two totally DIFFERENT things altogether. So let me have my peace for a while.

Cheers!

Ultimate Love Song

I chanced upon this song sometime yesterday at this event at Northpoint. Ahh, old songs just bring back gazzillions of memories. I remembered having to listen and interpret this song in one of the English class during Sec 2. Drenched me with emotions and whatever you call that.

I didn't know why, wasn't feeling quite good today. This song kept playing and playing in my head like an old broken record. And sitting in Makan Place eating my kway tiao, I suddenly wished I could go back to those days. The days where recesses meant booking one of those umbrella-shaded picnic tables and home-made sangwiches from my mother, and lunches meant a bottle of green tea with XinLing plus random chats with the chinese rice aunty. School seemed more realistic and 'small-scaled' than what I saw the last time. Poly's overwhelming, especially the tuition fees. I love what I do there, but it's the people and happenings in secondary school that I'm afriad I'll always miss. I don't know why, but I just keep coming back to those memories from secondary school. This song just brings back memories. I remembered singing it with Isabel during class too!

Oh, you can never expect/believe how a song from nowhere can squeeze so much memories and emotions out of a person.

So here's the song. I know I've slept alot, but since I finished what I planned to do already, there's no reason for me to stay awake anymore. Besides, I really need to sleep off these raw emotions pouring out of me. And maybe dream for a while.



Off to a new attachment centre at Woodgrove Avenue tomorrow, with 2 anecdotals to complete at the end of the day! Shall look for a cutiepie to observe on! Hoping for the best, but no expectations yet. Til now, other than my own childcare I attended when I was young, Kindercare's THE BEST.

Here's to LOVE, and everything in between.

love, me.

a random chance of fate.

Woohoo! Went out with Isabel and her brother Gabriel today! But why do I call it fate? Cos she was free on the only day in the week when I had no school! It's just fate and nothing else(:

Isabel and Gabriel will be going Thailand and had a chance to stock up their wardrobes along the way too, so off to BUGIS we go! Had KOI, the ice-cream tea or whatever they ordered wasn't as good as expected, the icecream serving was so pathetic.

What awed me in this gigantic and almost-empty Illuma is their exhibition on Harry Potter! Oh my, they made me fall in love with the whole series all over again. Gotta buy the books I'm missing and read them all over again! Maybe the whole movie series once everything comes out. MUAHAHAHA, I'm gonna be so broke after that>.< They showcased the clothes and fashions donned by characters, AND EVEN THEIR WANDS! Okay, I know they are not real wands that could really cast a spell and all that, but still! I regretted for not taking a picture of that exhibits but went right inside to the exhibition hall instead. Not a huge one, but it was fairly enough. All posters from the movies were put up in huge frames, especially the promo stands for the upcoming part 1 of the deathly hallows. For one thing, although I could remember it was Edwin who lent me his book during my sec 2 years, I really couldn't remember any of the contents in the last book AT ALL. Nope, not even how Voldemort perished. Or was it Harry? Eeek, I must be getting old.

Shopping for Gabriel proved to be a tough and annoying task to accomplish. Isabel has the exact sentiments, to be honest. Before he gets more mature and buffed up, and stop being so stubborn to not try on children's clothes that actually FIT him, there's no reason I'll go shopping with him at all in the near future. Maybe Shuhui should give it a try, Isabel and I decided. HA!

I bought this navy shirt that costs $20. The decision was made in such a haste, I didn't really think about it. I hope this will be a shirt I'll wear for years to come! Like this current one I'm wearing now. Don't you just love sleeping in old and loose shirts?!

Isabel had her attention caught on this cheap cheap $26 FOX pullover, and influenced me to want to buy it as much as she does. The colour she wants didn't have her size, but we didn't forget to camwhore in the fitting room before leaving our precious pullovers that weren't meant to be ours! Damn, they should have zips, for goodness sake!

Pictures of the 2 ultimate unglam queens of 4/6(2009), then sleep. Long day tomorrow!



That's all for now! Everything will be up on Facebook by TOMORROW EVENING. PROMISE!

***gangekkhee you better not use the comp while I'm uploading the picture... teehee^^

beautiful mess

Oh, the joy of a fellow ECH student! It's just SOOO GOOOD to feel like a kid once again!

Wow, sometimes I'm just so happy I chose this course instead of listening to the elders say I should enrol in better courses or even go JC. The modules in second sem are all quite fun!

I just realised through the creative arts lecture that listening to children's songs actually makes me happy. Heh! For all you know, I'll probably be spamming Laurie-something and those old hi-5 songs in my ipod instead of GLEE and Lady Antebellum.

Okay, into the main attraction of today's post, let's introduce my new-found favourite module of ECH 1.2, PLAY!

Today's tutorial was so fun I don't think any one of us actually minded getting dirty and leaving the class with hands like HULK or AVATAR. Mine was alright, it looked hot-pinkish(: HAHAHA! And so we made goo (yes, those nickelodeon awards green slimy GOO) with water and corn flour, junk play with national geographic magazines and everything else you could find in the mindless and messy pile of junk, and finally edible playdohs made out of mixing flour, cream of tartar and water. I actually haven't heard of this cream of tartar thing until I was required to bring them for this session. It actually makes the doh softer and yea, with the help of Giang Hwee and Sihui, I managed to find the filling for my COLOURFUL COLOURFUL X1000000000000000000 yam pao(:




Since it's a Monday, we have our funny event for our funny day. Heh! I wore my shoes in the room without knowing, until Yana asked me about it when we left to wash our hands! It didn't even occur to me that I should be shoe-less, and all the more to be looking for my shoe once I got oiut to go to the toilet. And yes, there am I, playing with flour and junk and whatsoever, with my shoes on instead of outside. This showed how focused and fun everyone was having in the session that none of them, except Yana - yes, not even me - noticed that I was wearing shoes and still walking around the class. Don't know why, at this time the story of The King and his Clothes or something popped inside my mind. Haha, I bet Yana's gonna start laughing again once she reads my post.

Other things included Mawar turned sick she didn't make it to class today): I really missed having all the 3 of us together again man! Feels so funny without Yana, or without Mawar during lunches and all that. Even group work feels different. MAWAR, COME BACK TO SCHOOL SOON!

I foresee the day when the 3 of us are back in action again, I'll be sure to take a picture. HAHAA!

Cheers!

My first sunset...

ever since I became aware of things. Heh!


I planned to write this post yesterday but was again caught up by family events. Sort of like that la. Spent my whole deepavali at ahma's. It was fun! Especially at night when everyone came and the house was booming with laughter and fun and whatever.

So on thursday after school I went West Coast to catch the sunset with my awesome T02 girlfriends! Armed with 3 DSLRs, mine as the only sole NIKON in the group, starts our journey into the unguarded terrain of the humongous West Coast area. I didn't know West Caost was THAT big! We had supposedly got into the wrong bus, if not alighted at the wrong stop, and went over to the pond and dog running side of the West Coast. Walked in the opposite direction of our destination, and ended up taking a bus there.

I remembered how Aisyah and Evangeline thought a folded crane on a vehicle looked like the MacDonald's sign that we're desperately finding to get your directions back!

Finally we got there and decided not to walk all the way to where the playgrounds and all were, and settled down at the pier. If only all the yatches and sailboats were not blocking, we would have a complete and unblocked view of the whole sun coming down the horizon. But no matter what, it's a beautiful sight to see.

Aisyah's sushi and Hafiza's cookies were the bomb man! We gobbled everything up while sitting on what we call a picnic mat made of the day's Straits Times. Took lots of pictures; Raihanna, Mawar, Hafiza and me were camwhoring on our lovely mat while Evan and Aisyah stargazed and talked. We even had a fun group shot to end the night!



Pretty awesome day spent, I look forward to more of these outings! Especially the one I'm gonna be having with the LADIES of 4/6. May there be lots of events to look forward to in the near future! My NIKON and I are all hyped up and ready for all of it! WOO!

MADNESS!

Total madness! This is what my laptop screen looks like when I'm still in the midst of uploading other pictures from the celebration. Yuen Lam's proven to be an efficient TAGGER! But to be honest, it irritated the hell out of me with all the sounds and popups. I can totally foresee how I'd end up clicking the 'cancel' box on the uploader like I did yesterday. But luckily, everything came out to be alright(: And yes, yesterday was the day my upload completely failed me, and guess what? I COULD SEE THE PICTURES UP ON YANJUN'S BLOG! totally freaked the hell outta me man!

So I decided to give it another try today by uploading 5 pictures by 5 pictures. Works better and, in my perspective, faster than trying to upload EVERYTHING at once. I wasted around 1.5 hours last night to come back to a failed upload. In other words, I gave up. Really didn't have the patience to wait soooo long for 50 few pictures to appear on facebook. Yes, I'm as impatient as an ant-eater(I don't know how this animal came into mind but I remember watching something in the animal planet that reminds me of it, haha.).

In YanJun's side, they just magically appeared and lucky her saved the pictures wayyy before the others even get to see it. Pop her visit to her blog and TADAH! all the pictures, glam, unglam of us were there. Except pictures with her in it. So, being the world's best friend, I decided to give her some publicity here in my blog! (It's as if anyone would even care about my blog! lmao.)



There you go! My payback time, MUAHAHAHAHA! I'll make sure our dearest Yan Jun sees this:DDDDDDDDDD
