ok, i just switch on my spore hp a few minutes ago and realise i got message from jingxin abt the overseas class trip.. and a few other messages too.. i feel so bad abt the superrrr late reply! >_< sorry people!!

anw, um i have SAT on 27 jan and there's no way i can go before that.. BOOHOOOO.. i really HOPE that the class will go afer that then. (:

i told my mum that i'll prob be having overseas class trip to bangkok next year and she's sooo unsupportive. hmph. you'd think i'm 5 years old. -.-" but well, she won't be in spore until around chinese new year so i guess i can JUST GO. lol. i dunno. but i really wanna go. anyone has suggestion pls???

i've just watched another lump of outdated movies and i think 'the devil wears prada' is reallyyy nice!!!! oh how i love anne hathaway's movies. =) 'The Hulk' was rubbish though. wasted my 2 hrs.. -.-" 'Pirates of the Caribbean' was really cool too but the ending was rubbish and they really should stop making movies with sequels. hmph.

anw, my cards have been sent out. thanks lots to siew mooi! thanks to those who actually told me that they receive the cards too. it's nice to have some acknowledgement. hehe..

i really wanna learn driving but somehow my mum seems very disapproving of me learning it now.. am i too young??? i don't think so leh! oh well.. shall see how. my dad was really nice abt it though. maybe i can learn after all.. see how first. =)

it suddenly occurs to me that people who are attached are different from what they used to be, regardless of how they themselves feel and say (ok maybe some people change less than others that it's un-noticable). and i think the least they could do is ensure that they can't be having a boyfriend-time and a friend-time at the same time cos it's really just so insensitive. is it too much to ask? =(

if you're wondering, no i'm not talking abt dear cons! hahaha. nvm nvm. i'm really a very random person and i'm just typing anything that came to my mind straight away. no planning. no wonder my essays always fail. boo. ok this blog entry already sounded very weird. shall end off here then.

bye peeps! =)

life in lombok

2006-12-14T18:44:00.000-08:00

i'm back from lombok! hehe.. for anyone who didn't know, lombok is part of indonesia. =)

reply to tags first.

cons: haha good for you. i'm sooo envious of your job! you'll get richer in so much shorter time than other people. lol.

mr dzul: thanks mr dzul! all the best with yours too! (:

hup: i'll normally only bring back dvds that i like to rewatch quite often. hehe.. in singapore don't have a lot of space to keep these things. i'll probably bring back cars though. haha. anw, what kind of musicals you referring to? you want high school musicals that kind is it? i'm not sure leh, i have to check first. happy endings are ok i guess. but in some movies, some characters are better off dead. lol.

jieying: yes of course! haha. you take care too! =)

wenqi: haha don't be too jealous ok? next year at this time you'll be the happiest on earth too. hehe.. i miss you too! take care ok?

elaine: ok, if you organise anything let me know k? or if you need help with the organising i can help you! (:

sm: ok no prob at all! i'll search for those 3. =)

tat: haha i'm sure i can be better than you with a little bit more practice. lol. when i play with you next time i sure can beat you one loh. =p anw, which one is your more frequent blog arh? is the link on my blog the correct one？how come you don't update one?

ezzah: LOL i'm kinda expecting it actually. i think i can even guess correctly who's the girl. heehee.. anw it's ok. i have moved on~ apparently he's not as nice as i think he is.. >.< how come you know btw?? your EX-CRUSH the kaypoh told you is it??

ok, lombok is REALLY very beautiful! went for a 4 days 3 nights hols there.

1st day: reach in the evening so went for a swim at the nice swimming pool in the hotel. then eat dinner there too. food in the hotel is super ex man.. boo.. oh well. but it was too dark to walk out to find other alternatives and the distance is quite far too..

2nd day: went to see how pots are made with this special clay that can only be found 7 km from the pot-making place. wanted to try making one myself.. but my fingernails are long and i scared all the soil will go inside my nails. ewww.. the final products are really nice!! my dad was a bit impatient at the place so i din have enough time to browse thru all the souvenirs.. boohoo.. but i bought this newly-made small pot which i carve my name on and this cute 'kendi' (a place to hold water, sth like kettle). you insert water from below (turn the kendi upside down first) then turn it up again and pour the water out as per normal (from the mouth of the kettle). the water won't come out from below. really interesting huh?? (:

then also went to see some other historic places in lombok (i shall not bore you with the details) and end the day with going to this beach called 'Tanjung An'. the sand there is unique and is kind of big and round like a very small pebble, instead of the normal sand. i collected quite a lot of sea shells there too! they're very colourful and unique.. hehe.. quite happy with my findings. =)

3rd day: went to this place called 'gili air' where i tried SNORKLING. first time in my life! and wow man.. it's really fun and interesting and the scenery is really beautiful.. swim with all the fishes (i see dory from finding nemo!) and can see the colourful corals and sea anemone and stuff.. you really should try snorkling if you have the chance! =)

then went to this monkey forest where i fed the monkeys with peanuts. they're really cute and they will take the peanuts from your hands with caution. so cute~ and i think monkey kingdom also have hierachy and rules. like when i threw peanuts to the young monkey to eat, they won't dare to eat and they'll allow the bigger monkey to eat it instead. then the biggest monkey (prob the leader) won't eat a lot also. it'll just sit there and watch everyone. quite interesting to watch all these. hehe..

4th day: my plane is in the afternoon so i don't have much time to do stuff that day.. and it was only this day that i realise i can actually also do snorkling at this beach that's just beside my hotel.. what the!!! boohoo.. oh well oh well..

breakfast in the hotel rocks btw! it's buffet and i always eat so much! hahaha. ohh how i love the food! and each night when we get back to the hotel, i'll play cards (big 2) with my dad and my sis. what a blissful life. hehe.. i still need a lot of practice i guess.. we keep losing to my dad then my sis and i just take turn shuffling the cards. hmph. my dad is too pro la.

lessons learnt from this hols:

1. the next time you go somewhere, the first thing that you need to do is patrol the place and find out what kinds of things are available near the place you stay. don't rely too much on tourguides cos they usually don't tell you stuff that won't benefit them.

2. if you try snorkling, don't forget to put on sunblock. i completely forget abt the existence of sunblock and now my skin's kind of hurting and i'm rather burnt too.

you know sometimes it got me thinking.. i often wish i could go to australia, japan, england, blah blah to see these places. but i haven't even been to a lot of places in indonesia yet.. there's still so much to see and learn in my own country and yet i wish to go to other countries. hmm.. i wonder why.. haa..

anw, here's some interesting history abt lombok:

1. you cannot build a building that's more than 3 storeys. so basically every building there is usually only one storey or at the most 2 storeys. the hotels are not like the normal hotels. it's like resort kind. the room is like a small house that kind. pretty nice actually. you feel more privacy and you have this feeling that you own the place or sth. haha. so no need for lifts or stairs too. hehe.. in fact i think the only building with 3 storeys is the shopping mall there.

2. there are basically 3 kinds of suku (natives) in lombok. one of them is suku sasak and they carry out marriage by KIDNAPPING. so the guy will kidnap the girl in the night without the parents knowing. they cannot ask for the girls' hand in marriage from the girls' parents (which is what we usually do) cos that's considered rude, like the girl is some kind of property to the parents. really interesting how each different suku will have different ways of thinking and different tradition..

i can't rmbr much of the other facts and details actually.. haha.. you know how it is with me and short term memory.. >.<

oh but it's really quite sad to know that the tourist arrivals in lombok had been falling drastically since the bali bombing.. bali is very near lombok btw, tourists who go to lombok normally will go to bali first. it's like the people there suffer a lot, especially those who sell souvenirs to tourists cos not much people buy their stuff.. it's really sad to see them.. argghhhh, i hate terrorists ok! hmph.

oh btw, if you didn't receive xmas cards from me like you usually do, it's cos this year i didn't send them before i went back to indo. i've asked dear siew mooi to help me post somewhere nearer xmas time. prob around now. hehe.. so if you have received it, here's what you can do:

1. if you're nice, you can send one back to me. hehe.. (:

2. if you're not so nice (like you're lazy to buy stamps or you don't want to send card to me), you can at least let me know that you receive it? so that i know i didn't send to the wrong address or sth. maybe tag me or msg me? be nice ok! hehe..

3. if you're evil, you can just ignore the card and pretend it didn't exist. then i'll get the hint and won't send you xmas card again next year. (:

ok i think i blabber too much already. haa.. congrats if you make it this far!

bliss

2006-12-10T00:07:00.000-08:00

ok, reply to tags first! =)

elaine: not fair elaine!! you always happen to ask me out for outings on such days that i have other plans! boooo... but i would really like to go out with you! (ok i sound so despo for you. lol.) anw, can we please not have a xmas party?? i can't be there! how abt a new year party instead?? (:

shweta: hey i don't have the photos with me right now.. i'll send you once i get back to singapore k? don't despair! (:

cons: eh you move the angklung blog?? why? >.< anw, enjoy your sims 2. now's the best time to play. hehe..

winner: thanks winner! you have fun too. but don't forget to WORK hard too k? =p anw yeps, dismas is REALLY prom king. you can congratulate him or sth. but i think he's in indo right now. lol.

hup: haha, the photos are not with me dear.. but i tot i've given you your photo with chinghow? you want the rest also? wait until next year k? hehe.. oh i wanted to tell you! i got see the photos before i went back to indo.. and if i'm not wrong in all the group photos, i can't see yB's suit at all. lol. apparently always blocked by sth (you wonder why).. anw the point is in group photos we can't see each other's nice and expensive outfit.. so quite sad lorh.. but nvm nvm, we got the girls' pretty dresses. (: i don't get your point abt the class guys though.. we see them often so we are shy? how come?! what kind of logic is this? o.O

xy: i will be back on 31 december! it's kind of a routine every year actually.. i'm always mopping the floor or changing my bed sheet or cleaning the house during the countdown cos i just got back and my house is in a mess.. what a sad life. =(

meisi: thanks for the compliment and don't worry i won't miss you. haha. =p

liwen: LOL liwen, it's just a coincidence. hahaha. anw, don't forget to invite me for mahjong session somewhere near new year k?? looking forward to seeing you! (:

yijun: hey hey! yeps been enjoying myself. just bought like over 30 comics a couple of days ago (it's really cheap here you know). and i still haven't read them finish yet.. decided to invest in fruit basket. oh and here got superpsychic nanaki too!! what a joy. so i bought volume 2 here and now i have a mixture of english and indon comics for the series. haha. (:

yB: hmph. still as evil as ever i see. but no worries i won't get caught. =p eh don't be too evil k.. later you'll have bad karma for the new year. can you imagine you tripping over air molecules and falling flat on your face on 1 jan 2007? LOL.

YAY, replies to tags are over, so here are some updates.

i've been spending my time at home these few days.. just sleeping, eating, watching DVDs and reading comics. what a bliss. (:

somehow going out doesn't really appeal much to me anymore.. i wonder why.. hmmm.. maybe cos i've been going out EVERYDAY after A's over until the day of prom. so now is the time to rest the blistered feet. hee..

let me recall some of the movies i've just watched:
cars
flightplan
lucky number slevin
zathura
the break-up
john tucker must die
x-men the last stand
charlie and the chocolate factory
the lake house
failure to launch
underworld revolution
the brothers grimm
mr and mrs smith

i must say i really like cars (ohh they're SOOO cute!), john tucker must die (he's gorgeous and the movie's really funny) and lucky number slevin. anyone watched this?? oh it's wonderful! it's abt a murder but it's really cool and funny. there's this guy who commits a murder of 2 mafia bosses (seems somewhat impossible but he can do it). it's a bit like ocean's eleven. you don't know how it can happen at first but then there's flashback and you'll then understand how it gets done and you'll get this WOW-ed feeling. it's just great. (:

the rest are ok i guess. the lake house is pretty romantic but i think keanu reeves really should have just died. that way the movie will be remembered more clearly. happy ending shows are kinda easy to forget. lol. isn't this why korean dramas stay close to our hearts? =D

x-men is great too! i like angel, his wings are really cool. i cried when the professor died though.. i don't like jean/phoenix.. =( though i must admit her powers are superb.

yeps ok, enough abt movies. i shall save my comments to myself before i bore you to death (hope i haven't already done that).

i tried to learn knitting from my mum a few days ago to disastrous results.. cos apparently knitting is SOOO much harder than cross-stitching. oh man.. i can't even make a shawl i think. nvm, i'll persevere harder when the mood to knit comes again. hehe..

ok i think my life is kinda monotonous and i really don't have much to update. oh did i mention i'll be going away for a holiday in lombok starting tmr until thurday? see the beaches there and stuff. just to cool off and have some family time i guess. i don't think there's really much to see there.. so will not update until then.

happy holidays peeps! (:

>.<

2006-12-06T23:27:00.000-08:00

yay i'm updating again! my dad FINALLY signed up for a working internet connection so i can actually keep my promise to liwen. (:

i'm suffering from withdrawal symptoms now. boohoo.. i miss the class peeps so much i wonder why.. =( i want to go liwen's house play mahjong and play cards. i want to go shopping or watch movie with class girls too. even reading my dearrr comics cannot make the feelings disappear.. i miss liwen's non-stop ramblings, hup's fierce face and EVEN yong bing's evilness. oh man. how loser is this. anyone can suggest some help??

haven't been watching much DVD too cos the shop's opening hours is weird and when i went there this afternoon it was still closed. hmph. i can't rmbr much of the movies i want to watch actually.. there were 'cars', 'the devil wears prada', 'nanny mcphee' and i can't rmbr the rest. my memory is reallyyyy lousy. boo. anyone has any recommendations? oh and if you want any DVD, i can help you buy if it's sold here. one DVD only costs abt $1.50. and it's good quality too! (only pirated. lol.) just leave a tag on my board if you want anything. (:

oh but the one thing here that i can't stand is the weather.. oh man.. it's SOOO HOT like anything. no haze btw, in case you're wondering. i can see the sky (and that means the sun) super clearly. if you think it's hot in singapore.. think again. it's much worse here.. i can't sit in my room without air-con for even 10 minutes without sweating. this is very bad huh.. more air-con means more global warming which means a hotter weather. it's such a vicious cycle. =(

well since i don't have much to do, i've been thinking lots these days.. and i realise i do have a lot of regrets in my life. i wish i've been nicer to certain people and don't bother so much with others. now that JC life is over, i guess i will never have the chance to repair it again. unless of cos we got to the same university (which is unlikely since i want to go SMU). and even if we did, we may not be in the same course. or worse, the guys are going to NS and i will really probably will never see male friends again. >.<

oh well, i guess that's life. a little (or sometimes a lot) regrets here and there. on that note, i regretted i didn't take individual photos with some of the class guys. think i only manage to take with jingxin, chinghow, yongtat and polo. i guess it's weird that i felt a bit shy to ask the class guys to take photo when i can just go to other people's class and ask the guys that i know there to take photo. hmmmmm.....

at least i got individual photos with the class girls and my beloved angklung exco. =)

ok i'm starting to sweat like anything already. have to go to my room now to read comics and enjoy air-con. ciao~

PS: today is ezzah's bdae. so ezzah if you're reading this, happy birthday k!

indo, here i come!

2006-12-05T01:25:00.000-08:00

hmm, i'm at the airport now, rotting and waiting to board the plane. it's been a very messy day.. didn't manage to pack finish my luggage and write my xmas cards on time.. boohoo.. in the end have to rush everything and i didn't manage to write xmas cards to a few people. so sorry! >.<

and the original plan to take MRT to airport to save $$$ is once again an illusion. maybe next year it'll come true? LOL. i'll continue believing. =)

anw, prom was great. everyone is sooo pretty!! (special mention to clemmie, trinet, mad and elaine who look totally stunning) but really, everyone look superb! even the guys. haha. for once the class guys look so mature and handsome, so unlike normal days. LOL.

dismas was prom king, that's quite a pleasant surprise.. should have taken pics with him but couldn't find him anywhere.. so yeah.. =( couldn't find ferro too.. yeps, other than this 2, think i got take photo with everyone else. =)

the food was ok i think. not that great but not too sucky either. i love the prawns, the soup and the dessert! the rest i think not that nice.

anw, the best part is not the prom.. it's the stay-over at the hotel! hehe.. so glad i decided to stay.. it was the most fun 'class outing' ever. i reallyyy enjoy playing cards with the class people. (:

i realise liwen's reaction time is SOO lag.. she's probably the worst in the world. we were playing snap and when everyone else already snapped the card, liwen haven't even put her hands down. *diaox*

i also realise that yong bing ONLY can talk. lol. we were playing bridge and he was telling me to do this and do that (cos he wasn't playing at first).. so noisy! hmph. but when he got down to playing, he lost like almost all the games can?? he's forever at the loser side one. lol.

and yong tat is pro at bridge! everytime i pair with him i always win one.. hehe.. or maybe it's cos i'm a good player. heehee.. oh but he's only good when he's not stupid enough to bid until so high. -.-"

yeps, really had SUPERB time at the hotel! wish there were more class outings like this (instead of watching movie or going sentosa). i prefer this kind. =)

probably even better than chalet cos the facilities are superb! and not like chalet is cheap too mah. so by paying a little bit more, we can get warm cosy bed, beautiful toilet and fantastic view. how great!

oh and i realise that the class guys are verrrryyyy nice people!! chinghow and yuan shan especially! when we were walking back to pan pacific hotel from swissotel in our painful heels, these 2 bother to walk behind the girls and wait for us. how sweet. (:

and jingxin was nice too! he helped us flag a taxi when we were kinda lost and didn't know which way to go.. then the taxi uncle very nice also.. he brought us to pan pacific without charging a single cent. hehe.. (:

yeps yeps, it'll really be a day which i'll always keep in mind. (: i'll upload the photos when i come back from indo k? you people with cameras pls upload the photos too!

see you guys soon. take care people!

artemis fowl rocks my life

2006-11-26T04:16:00.000-08:00

just finished reading the newest artemis fowl book that i borrowed from yijun. oh wow.. it's superb! i'm totally amazed with the author (eoin colfer). he's sooo talented in writing la! how did he even manage to think of all these cool stuff! i still rmbr the 'eternity code' book which was wayyyy cool too! totally in love with the books! (:

ok it's weird that i'm developing all these love with BOOKS. ha. while everyone else is totally into tv. hmmm. i guess i'm weird. haha. but i'd rather read comics or nice novels than watching tv! ok not that i don't like tv. i recently fell in love with ghost whisperer. hoho.. beautiful show!

and to think that i didn't even read ANY novels when i was younger. maybe it's NJ. the love for books gets to me. LOL. how i wish i love my phy tb! which costs 50 bucks by the way. and i've only read one chapter (electric field).. oh boo.. then maybe my phy will show a teeny weeny improvement from the current loser state! >_<

oh well. on a brighter side, i've already bought my prom dress! hehe.. so satisfied!! after walking like 6 days, i finally found one that's nice, can fit me and costs reasonable. phew~ =)

ok i hope i don't look like walking pillow. and even if i do, you better NOT tell me that on that night or i'll BOX you! so now i only need to buy a pair of nice longgg earrings abd erm, sth else a girl needs which i shall not name. haha. =p

OHH and what the heck! ytd night when i was trying on my sec 4 prom shoe, the strap broke!!!! HMPH. bet somebody must be cursing me! i'm guessing it's either yong bing, hup kee or wai han! ok which one of you evil people curse me! OWN UP! >.<

now i need to buy a new pair. and thinking of it i already want to die.. to shop for prom dress took me 6 days! and now i need to buy shoes??? i din even look at shoes at all the places i've already visited when i was looking for my dress. does that mean i've to repeat???? but i have no time!! ohh why is this happening!!

anyone knows a good and trustable clobber around?? PLS HELP!

shopping spree!

2006-11-24T07:29:00.000-08:00

oh man my feet HURT. like anything. too much shopping.. haa..

been out EVERYDAY since monday from afternoon all the wayyyy until night all around singapore. i'm such a spendthrift.. oh no.. save me! >_<

went to expo today since early morning to go to 3 warehouse sales! 1st started out with popular mega sale! the books are on sale and so cheapp tooo! it's 3 for $15!! what a bargain! i bought 6. hahaha. got A LOT of books man.. there was memoirs of a geisha too. but i didn't buy cos the font too small for my liking. lol. then the CDs (CD RAMA kind) are at 3 for $10. o.O!! you can imagine it's crowded like anything.. especially the chinese CD section. think got SHE blah blah. (i cannot read chinese words. lol.) then the queue to pay is superr longggggg ar! if i didn't buy SO much things i'll refuse to queue! =p

then next stop is the adidas warehouse sale! this one ar.. to go in even have to queue for very long man! oh and i met yijun!!!! hahaha. what a shock! this girl ar.. i think finish phy s paper then cheong to expo already! lol. and i finally bought my favourite adidas shoes!! the usual is at $119 that one. they discount until $50! to buy these shoes take A LOT of effort one ok! must wave your hand frantically to get the person's attention so that they can get your size for you. then this design no size so change design then change size blah blah. hard work! but it's all worth it! i only buy one pair though. haa. ppl there buy like 3 pairs or sth?? like free gift like that! the jerseys are super cheap too! but i don't wear jerseys. lol. the guy in front of me bought 3 or sth.

but the cashier ar.. SUPER SLOW. lucky i queue at the 'cash only' cashier (though by mistake). if you pay by visa then i think it'll take another 3 hrs to pay or sth. the guy that's abt next to me at the next cashier barely move an inch even until the moment i paid my stuff. good luck to him!

next is loreal warehouse sale! OH MAN. they sell everything so cheappppp! foundation that's usually $25 goes at 5 for $20. same goes for powder that usually costs abt $20 too. hair mask that's normally $13 goes at 3 for $20. hair dye that's usually $18 goes at 3 for $18. face wash usually abt $12 goes at 3 for $15..

wahh.. think today spent money like it drops from the sky or sth.. but all the bargains are so irresistable!!!! how to find things so cheap like this?? went home with mountains of plastic bags. almost died on the mrt though.. feet hurt, hands tired, eyes sleepy and mrt so crowded.

ohhh! and there was this indian mother and her daughter. NO MANNERS one ok! the moment this couple stood up from their seats, the mother pushed the child to SNATCH the seats! the couple can't even walk out can! think the mrt doors almost closed if they didn't cheong. then hor, the mother look at the child with such approving look, like "GOOD JOB. WELL DONE." o.O!!! what's happening to the world?? parents are teaching their children the wrong values loh.. hmph.

the kiddos at popular sale also VERY irritating one ok. so crowded already then still push push and run around. they think their house is it?? AIYO.

for those interested, the sale is still on at expo until sunday. you can go if you want. it's very worth it! (:

oh well oh well. today is such a fruitful day. haha. oh and did i mention that i bought my digi cam today too? hee.. it's canon ixus 60, 6 mega pixel. at $499. got lots of freebies! got the leather case ($29), one extra battery (abt $80) and 512 MB SD card. so worth it i think! thanks yijun for all your newspaper cut-outs and guidance! couldn't have done it without you. hehe.. (:

ok i seem to be buying EVERYTHING but my prom necessities! TSK at me! >_<

going to watch tv now 1st. ciao~

1st shopping day

2006-11-20T05:16:00.000-08:00

today i went to city plaza to shop with my mum and sis! very funn!! haha. shop there for like 4 hrs even though the shopping centre not very big. haa.. i guess it's a female thing. hoho.. (:

i'm done with tidying up my living room, dining room, study table, computer table and keeping all my notes and files. the only things left is tidying up my room (ok this will take ages) and START collecting all my photos (from all over the folders in my comp and from nice sweet ppl who have digi cam) so that i can develop them asap. hee..

and i really want to get my prom dress asap! then i can start thinking of my hair-do and make-up that'll suit me.. hmm.. wonder if i'll ever be able to get one that i like that can fit me and actually cost reasonable. =(

i saw one very nice dress today but of cos no size! boohoo.. ok maybe i should exercise more, eat more veggie and lead a healthier lifestyle! >.<

oh well. nvm nvm. shall continue hoping i'll find one in the many coming shopping days! hehe.. (:

F-R-E-E-D-O-M

2006-11-18T00:16:00.000-08:00

hmm, so this is how freedom feels. haha.

i've been sitting in front of the computer from the time i opened my eyes (that's around 9.30 am) until now. that's abt 7 hrs plus and i don't even feel tired at all.. haa.. it kinda feels weird though.. to have so much time and not studying. i'm still feeling this tinge of guilt that i'm enjoying myself so much when i know my results aren't going to be that great. it's like i don't even deserve this break.. ugh.. i just can't stand my inability to do well academically. it's so frustrating.. oh well. what to do.

econs is the worst paper of all for me.. other than i'm already mentally drained by the time i sat for the paper (since the timetable is like so shitty), i think it's quite hard too.. ok maybe it's just me. i'm sure the rest find it ok. just like chem mcq.. i think it's hard and i can't even finish it. but apparently most people that i asked found it ok. oh man.. i just hope for an okay grade to allow me to go to smu. is that too much? >_<

anw putting all that aside, i've changed my blogskin!! hehe.. i think it's very pretty! (: leave comments ok!

um actually i doubt ppl still visit my blog.. since it's been like donkey yearss since i last updated. hmm.. and i'm not a very frequent blogger too.. haa.. somehow i enjoy reading other's blogs more than writing in my own. =X

nvm nvm lots of plans to be carried out these days! shopping for prom is on a high priority, followed by finally developing all my photos (2 years worth of it) and putting them all nicely in my photo album! okie this'll prob take one week at the very least since i'm such a perfectionist! lol.

and i still want to read comics and books that i borrow from yijun, start to watch tv again (i haven't been watching since prelims days, aren't you proud of me? *grins*), research on a nice digital camera to buy (even though i've already somewhat fallen in love with sony cybershot pink colour - thanks to yijun) and tidy up my super messy room. haha. that sounds like A LOT of things to do.. i'm so excited already. haha. =p

ahhhh, haven't blogged for AGES! the last time i blogged was on 23 july.. hmmm.. that's abt 2 months ago.. how time flies! hoho.. think i owed a lot of things to my dear bloggie! haha.

there are things like:
my birthday
angklung farewell
watching fireworks at esplanade
PRELIMS

okay that's all i rmbr happening these past 2 months. you know how it is with me and short-term memory.. >_<

anw, shall cut long story short for my bdae, this year is such a happening year! i still rmbr how HAPPIEEEE i feel on that fri! countless thank-youSS to these wonderful ppl:

angklung exco (esp yj, cons, jy and joyce): thanks for the sweet wallet and million other things! and for starting my day with the celebration at the canteen extension. you guys made my day. thanks to jy for the extra photo frame thingy too! also thanks to shweta, xiaoting, noreen and manzhi for sharing the pressie. and to eileen for being there! love you people! (:

05S13: thanks for singing for me! haha. and for the pressie from the class bdae fund which i chose myself. lol. it's a cute furry speaker! ran without battery too. super cool heh? *grins* and thanks to hup, liwen, mad, joyce, angie, wengyin, weina and chiewyee for sharing the cute necklace. and esp for hup for making a super duper sweet card!! (:

indons: thanks to novi, adinia, rudy, james, ferro, eric, wibowo and andrew for the cute and super big tomato soft toy! and special thanks to novi for the fabulous card! it's really sweet and pretty! although i look retarded in all the photos.. boo.. >_< but that shall not matter. lol.

the gang: thanks for the treat at new york new york, the pendant and the super prettyyy watch! love the watch to bits. haha. can't wait for fri to celebrate sonia's bdae! (:

peckyan: thanks for the lovely bear which came all the way from australia! so touched by your gesture.. you're such a sweet junior! hehe.. keep in touch k? oh and thanks for helping me with the sarong stuff. =)

also thanks to lee san and huili for the pressie! and for sm for the me-to-you card! and many many thanks to all those who message me a happy birthday! love you guys to bits. thank you soo muchhh for making me feel loved and blessed with you wonderful people around me. (:

angklung farewell is another SUPERB event. i still rmbr the video mr fuad made for us. i almost teared at the LT watching it but i tried very hard not to cry! all the presents and hugs are just priceless. they are wonderful memories which i'll always keep with me and i'll never forget them. angklung has been the best thing that happen to me in my JC life and it's been a part of me for so long that i can't stop missing it even when i'm not gg for practices anymore..

i wish all the juniors all the best for next year. you guys are great. i'm sure you can achieve many more great things in the time to come. it's all in the passion. (:

sometimes i will still look at all the presents and messages from you guys and it'll really put a smile on my face.. like when i look at joyce's super sweet book and PINK rose, jieying's barbie doll, yijun's photo frame and touching msg, cons' address book, zhengliang's bobble keychain (must admit he has surprisingly GREAT taste in choosing presents! i really like the bobble) and last but not least, zihao's CD case. i use it btw. haha. all these things are within a metre from my bed and i can just grab them anytime i want (esp when i'm missing you guys). thank you for the memories. you guys rock. =)

from the juniors: yanmin's winnie the pooh soft toy which is just next to me when i sleep, noreen's and eileen's PINK book, xuesi's and shuxian's sweet msg, peckyan's tigger cookie can and everything else.. i kept all these closely by my side and look at them from time to time to remind me of what wonderful ppl all the angklungnites are.. =D

okie moving on~

fireworks!! whoever invented them deserve a noble prize. hahaha. me, hup, liwen and elaine went to watch the fireworks at esplanade on tuesday (can't rmbr the date). it was packed like anything.. goodness me.. but all the effort was worth it!! they are so pretty we're at a loss at describing it.. everyone just go "WOAHH". basically woahh just summarizes everything. haha. and after that we have supper of half priced waffle at city link!! cool day! (:

then there's a blank in my memory.. and what comes next is prelims. lol. i shall not describe the papers.. after all you know how badly i'll ramble on and on if i even start. oh well. let me talk abt the preparations instead. heehee..

i study in school library until 9 pm almost everyday!! aren't you proud of me?!?!!? i think i've never been more hardworking in my life before.. haha. bet the class girls think i'm super nerdy since i keep asking them if they wanna accompany me to study in lib until 9.. but no choice.. i'm not that productive at home and my sis want to watch tv anw. and i totally can't study with any noise on.. boo..

oh and i went for so many consultation with mr ng and mr lim i lost count of the no of times. they're such great teachers.. how i wish i can make them proud of me.. sigh.. but i always seem to be letting them down with my poor results.. boo.. hopefully i can improve in A levels! let's all jiayou together! abt 40 plus more days to A levels only.. the stakes are high and doing badly is not an option.

i guess my poor blog is gonna rot again for some time after this.. hoho.. after all i barely come online.. my comp works at the pace of snail (must be the virus.. sigh.) and i'm just too impatient to use it.. lol.

let's talk abt current time now! (:

been going out everyday after prelims to shop for bdae's presents! shop for myself and the class guys' bdae presents with the class girls on wed after phy paper. then for adinia's and eric's bdae pressie on thurs with novi, for sonia's on fri with wh and xy and for jy's today with joyce, cons amd yj. oh man i'm so beat.. i really need long hrs of sleep.. haha. which i already had actually. lol. i came home at 7 plus on wed, meant to take a nap but realised i only woke up the following day at 8.30 am. almost 12 hrs of sleep. am i a pig or what. lol. so shocked at myself. i think it's my record time. hahaha. =p

okie, it's 3 am now and i really need to sleep if i'll ever gonna wake up tmr morning to go to church. i bet this entry sounds weird and it doesn't flow cos i jump events. but you shall not judge me. hoho. tata people~

sadness.

2006-07-23T08:01:00.000-07:00

BOOHOO..

just been to mr dzul's multiply account and realise that i don't have any photos there! >_<

there was a video of the angklungnites preparing for concert but i'm not there.. hmm.. guess it was taken when i went out to buy the flowers. so sad! there's an empty gap between peckyan and xuesi! >_<

and looking at the suntec city photos made me feel sad too. i couldn't be there at the last performance.. it's like i don't have a proper farewell. a proper stepping down time. a proper swansong. and it makes me feel really really sad. it's like there's this heavy lead clinging on to my heart. and it's not letting go. =(

oh and i found out that many J2s (in fact i think all the female J2s) din go for the suntec performance too. -.-" it kind of irritates me that they don't wanna go for it when it's their LAST performance. when there are other people like me who really really wanna go but can't. are they that unhappy in angklung? it makes me wonder.

anw, everyone makes their own decisions. it's up to them. it's their choice. if they don't wanna make the best of whatever they had, it's their own problem. i'm gonna make decisions too. especially when it comes to writing testimonials and counting attendance. =D

revenge time~

hahaha. okie revenge time sound bad. what abt pay back time? lol. you make our lives hard. now it's time for us to make your lives hard. be prepared. (:

on a brighter note, a certain beautiful day is coming next week! friday to be exact! heehee.. can't wait. =)

oh and a sweet card will be nice.

eclectic

2006-07-22T10:29:00.000-07:00

okie this entry is kinda late but i still wanna blog abt it.. hehe..

eclectic.

there's nothing like it. the euphoria i felt on that night can never be forgotten.. the amount of hard work put in by everyone, the long practices, the lagging tutorials.. they're all worth it. =)

the concert is a success and we (and harmoc) played beautifully.. a few mistakes here and there.. but nvm la. haha. after all nobody is prefect.. heehee.. really love apachi (opening song) and wave of hope (last song). the bamboo flute is fantastic!!! guess everyone thought so too! received many excellent reviews for wave of hope. mr dzul is a GREAT composer. (:

anw, just wanna express my feelings abt some really great people.

mr dzul
thanks for always being there for us! you always made an effort to come down to teach and help us with new songs even when you're soo busy with your work, performances and other stuff.. you've been a truly wonderful conductor. funny, inspiring, kind and understanding. will really miss you and your jokes after this.. hope you've enjoyed our company as much as we had enjoyed yours. (:

mr fuad
you're a really superb teacher-in-charge!! i think it's great that you gave us (the exco) freedom to make decisions for the ensemble. thanks lots for the trust in us. like seriously.. some teachers are sooo naggy and they insist on having their ways in the cca.. but well, you're far from this! you've been a really good friend to me too! thanks for always being understanding. (:

mr tan
hmm.. you're obviously a winner. hahaha. i think you're a really funny and nice teacher-in-charge! couldn't have asked for a better one. you've always enlightened the tense atmosphere during practices and humoured us with your super lame comments! haha. thanks for all that. angklung wouldn't have been so enjoyable without your presence. thanks for all the help with the concert too! (:

joyce
i think you're a really capable pres! thanks for the friendship and joy you brought to my life. and the teasing for that matter. -____-" but since i'm such a nice person i shall forgive you. hehe.. really enjoyed all our lunch outings all these while.. oh and it'll be nice if you don't talk abt ******* when other people are around! >_<

jieying
hmm. where do i even begin.. haha. we've always stick together since the first angklung practice! i'm glad i can find a friend in you! i guess we've always been so close that everyone thought we're in the same class.. hahaha. angklung practices will be so dull if you're not there.. still rmbr the time that you're sick (cos you eat too much cny goodies.. -.-") and i miss you lots during practice! no one to crap and gossip with.. hee.. i don't like your evil and cheeky grin though. lol.

cons
our great MD! to be honest.. i din really like you when we first step up to be exco.. haha. you're always so fierce i guess i'm quite scared of you.. >_< but then.. i got the chance to know you better and i realise that you're a truly GREAT person and friend. always ready to lend a helping hand and to stick with me when all the others bullied me.. (: but then again.. that's cos we're in the same boat. haha. i'm really glad that we're exco together cos it gives me the chance to know the real you behind that fierce mask. you rock. =)

yijun
my fellow ex-6 player! you're one of earliest friend i made in angklung and i'm glad our friendship stayed strong throughout all these time. really enjoy crapping with you and i really think you're a very thoughtful friend. (:

okie i'll skip zihao and zhengliang cos i don't have much to say abt them. hee..

J2s
thanks for all the effort you've put in to make every performance a success, especially eclectic. thanks for trying to cut down on complaints everytime you've had to stay back late to practice too. it's been a wonderful 2 years with you people. will really miss having you guys around! i hope you have enjoyed being in angklung ensemble. =)
special mention to shweta, salihin, hizam, ahmad, azhar, ferro

new exco
congrats on your new exco post! i hope you all like your roles and will work hard on it. i'm sure you all will do us (previous exco) proud. you all are truly a talented and great bunch of people. hope your passion for angklung stays on all the way. jiayou for SYF! (:
special mention to yanmin, my dear successor!
xuesi, my sms contact
manzhi, my junior for 5 years since cedar days

noreen
my fav junior! haha. you've been my '4' junior since donkey years ago and i guess we've really bonded well! really enjoyed your company during practice. i'm going to miss you lotsss now.. must still talk to me if you see me online and update me on angklung stuff okie.. hehe.. do work hard for next year's SYF even in the midst of your council stuff. jiayou! (:

juniors
thanks all for working so hard for eclectic and for all our other performances! you all have been such a great bunch of juniors. i couldn't have asked for a better one. the passion you've shown for angklung and the effort you all have put in for our cca really touched my heart. i hope you continue with this passion next year. will really miss you guys! >_<

okie, i guess that's all i wanna say. pretty long huh? haha. i hope i didn't bore anyone to death. hee... (:

feel really sad currently.. must be having SAWS (severe angklung withdrawal symptoms).. *as quoted from joyce* sigh.. i missed our last performance as an ensemble last sunday.. boohoo..

my dad was sick and hospitalised in indo so i rushed back home after concert on fri and caught a plane back to indo on sat morning. luckily he's okay now. he's out of ICU on wed already, so i went back to singapore on thurs evening. hope he gets well soon. (:

but seriously! the amt of work and tutorials i'm lagging now is beyond what i can finish.. >_< sighh. hopefully i can be smarter so that my little brain can absorb things faster. lol. oh and i missed all the taking of photos after the concert and on sunday.. sooO saddddDDD! oh well, can't be helped i guess.. =(

new layout

2006-07-02T19:45:00.000-07:00

WEE! here's a new layout to help advertise for the coming angklung & harmoc combined concert, ECLECTIC.

just a reminder: it's on 14 july, 6.30 pm at LT 5. tickets are selling quite fast (so happy!!) anyone interested to go please do approach me. (:

anw, a million thanks to cons for helping me with the layout.. my html skills is super cmi.. hee.. thanks. =)

will be going to zoo, night safari and sentosa these 2 days to accompany my relatives (uncle's family). so excited! can't wait to go underwater world and see the dewgong! and to go cinemania also! heehee.. actually really wanted to go to joyce's house to watch CARS (yes she has the DVD).. sigh.. but there's just NO TIME! boo.. i'll slowly wait for the DVD to come out in indo then.. lol.

these 2 weeks will be super packed with angklung practices.. hope i can survive through it.. *take a deep breath* i can totally picture just how much tutorials i'll be lagging.. oh no.. but it'll all be worth it. =D quoted from ytd's msn convo with yongbing: angklung is life.

hopefully the others feel the same way as me.. and DON'T PON any of the rehearsals pls? it'll be important as we'll be doing staging and all.. if anyone's attendance is poor.. grrr. i'll take necessary actions. and i can be very mean sometimes. lol.

it's just a few more days to our beloved concert, let's give it our best. after all, our friends will be watching us and i'm sure we don't want to disapoint them. (:

still got 30 tickets left for angklung's side. quite little actually.. so if you want more tickets, do tell me ASAP. it's 1st come 1st serve. hehe.. =D

angklung rocks

2006-07-01T08:40:00.000-07:00

CT 2s are over!! YAYNESS! though i did super bad at chem (as usual).. but what the heck.. that shall be later problem. LOL.

went with astatine to eat at breeks after the last paper. quite nice the food!! hehe.. but quite ex la.. i ate seafood marinara. the shrimps are super delicious but the mussels taste weird.. -.-" next time i shall try the blackened cajun chicken..

anw, had angklung performance at TPJC today for the opening of the malay language centre. (:

full dress rehearsal went a bit off.. intro was wrong and the beat was too fast for the malay dancers.. >_< but i think the real thing is fantastic!!! hehe.. think we played well and the malay dancers danced SUPERBLY. =) hopefully concert will be like that too and mr dzul will be proud of us!!

it was soo funn today! other than the part where my nice cheeky exco girls keep bullying me.. hmph. so mean. -.-" oh well. but since they did me a favour at the end of the day.. i shall forgive them. haha. (:

and NO MORE mention of this matter okay! -_________-"

oh oh and eric taught us this funny game that we currently called the official angklung game. LOL. goggles up.. whoots~

hmm, i so enjoy myself today that sometimes i think stepping down will make me sad.. but on the other hand i can't wait to step down also.. haha. can't take it already.. must really concentrate on studies.. i don't want to get ugly results for A levels.. =(

oh well, mixed feelings. normal i guess.. i shall move on.

england vs portugal now. and england WILL win. regardless of what eric said. ha.

aviva open 2006

2006-06-12T01:26:00.000-07:00

yesterday marked the end of my super nice cip at aviva open singapore 2006.

i think it's one of the BEST cip i've ever done in my life! so interesting to watch all the matches live in indoor stadium. the atmosphere at the stadium is sth i will not be able to feel if i watch it from home. but from tv is better la, cos got all the replays and stuff. lol. anw i simply love badminton so much! hehe..

actually since young i've always loved badminton. last time indo was quite pro at badminton then they always take all the matches live and my whole family will watch together in front of the tv. sigh. miss those days.. >_<

anw i FINALLY manage to take the long-awaited photos with the pro players! SOOOO happiieeee! =)
would have put a BIGGER smiley face if i can. lol.

here's a photo with peter gade from denmark, champion of the men's singles.

and here's a photo with ronald susilo, singapore's best player.

i was so high after taking all the photos. haha. (:
special thanks to xueli and siew mooi for helping me take the photos and noreen for helping me upload!

btw got this tiny incident that i simply can't stop laughing about.

swati (siew mooi's classmate), was guarding the door of the VIP lounge, which only VIPs, organizers and corporate box people can enter. so she has to turn away people with no pass.

then came a man who wanted to enter. so swati politely asked "sorry sir, can i please see your pass?" then the man smiled smiled, zip open his jacket and showed her the pass. the man went in and the uncle behind him scold poor swati.

apparently the man is RONALD SUSILO. lol. so blur la the swati! she doesn't even know how susilo looks like. hahahaha. think she's SUPER embarrassed by the whole incident.

but susilo is sooo nicee and so sweettt! he smile so charming also.. aiihh.. *heart melted* oh well, hopefully one day i'll find a man like that somewhere along my life. lol.

i'll definitely volunteer again next year. hehe.. maybe next year i'll try my luck with boonsak ponsana, taufik hidayat, chen hong and mia audina. arghh, so excited already. haha. can't wait for aviva open 2007! =D

angry!

2006-06-10T08:42:00.000-07:00

aiyaa, so sO SO SOO angry todayy!! >_<

started out with the aviva cip i was doing. really realllyyyy wanted to take photos with peter gade (denmark) who beat susilo ytd.

yes, so much for plucking courage to ask him to take photo with me.. he's gone already.

after his match, me and xueli ran to the players' food and beverage room (hoping maybe he'll get water since he'll be so thirsty) to try to find him.

not there.

then we cheonggg to male changing room (lol. how despo does this sound) but also not there! SIGH. oh well, what to do. =(

then we also wanted to take photo with chen hong (china) whom we expected to win against kenneth jefferson (denmark) but in the end lost. boooOOOOO. so decided not to disturb him.. later he angry how? lol. so we did not go down to find him..

but when we were about to leave the indoor stadium after the event is over, we happen to chance upon the players' bus! like WOW~ all the big players are all there!!!!! and chen hong is especially close to me.. like a few mere centimetres. but xueli's camera ran out of battery cos we were happily taking so many pictures at the information booth before we left. -.-"

ok, how retarded does this sound. and my tiny brain completely forgot that i have a camera phone with 1.0 mega pixel. how genious? can't stand myself!! feel like banging the wall la. arghhhhHHHHHHHH!

sheesh. i'll never forgive myself for this.. hmph. =(

then when i reached home, my sis asked if i wanna watch soccer match (england vs paraguay) at the toa payoh mcdonald. since i love england so much (my 2 fav teams being brazil and england) i decided to ignore my super tired body and drag myself to the mcdonald. reached there about 8.55? (match supposed to start at 9). then we chose a completely comfortable seat and order food. and waited. and waited. 9 o'clock came. nothing on tv.

9.05. nothing.

9.10. still nothing.

9.15. nothing still? hmm. maybe the match is delayed.

9.20. NOTHING! how come!! so my sis asked the guy there how come the match not playing. apparently the mcdonald showing the match is not the hdb hub one. it's the one at toa payoh lorong 1 near braddell there. ughhh. and i was hoping i could watch. sigh. but maybe i'm not as sad as my sis is cos she's a bigger world cup fan. lol.

anw, when we reached home and turned on the tv, nice and sweet channel 5 is showing an encore of the germany vs costa rica match. crapppPP. this type of thing where got encore one!! nice meh to watch a match you already knew the result?! like HUH.

why can't they show us the england vs paraguay match? and all the other matches?! quarter-finals at least? so CHEAPO la the mediacorp!!!! they don't want to pay to broadcast the matches. hmphhh. soo unhappy! not everyone rich enough to have SCV okay.. sigh. =(

if i were to go back to indo this hols, i would have been able to watch like ALL the matches. cos indo confirm take one. i'm missing so much! sigh. okay maybe not that much since i'm only interested in matches that concern brazil and england. haha.

anw i shall appreciate the fact that mediacorp is not broadcasting any matches except the semi-finals and finals cos then i will have more time to mug, muG, mUG and MUG! hip hip hoorayyyy! (:

on a brighter note, tomorrow is another long day of aviva cip. the long awaited FINALS. hehehe. maybe tmr is my chance to get photos with peter gade or chen hong? haha. shall continue hoping. =)

without hope, there will be no sense of achievement rite?

~~of course there won't be hurt either.~~

CIP

2006-06-08T08:20:00.000-07:00

i was kinda depressed a few days ago and i don't even know why.. hmm. my sis say i'm suffering from angklung withdrawal syndrome. hahahaha. she's so funny. lol.

anw, been doing a lot of CIP lately.. hehe.. shall blog abt my experiences. (:

went to this childcare centre at bishan on tuesday with joyce to teach the kids tuition. i was assigned to teach P5 kiddos (was quite glad i didn't get P6 just in case i can't do their qns. hahaha.) okay so all along i tot i'll be teaching maths but turn out that my bunch of kiddos don't like to do maths and they prefer doing english. crapp.

my english level is like... CMI. haha. still rmbr i told marylinn (a girl there) that flora means vegetation and fauna meana flowers. gosh. i should just jump down and dieee la. realise my mistakes a few days after when talking to my sis. lol. shall make amendments when i came back next week. hopefully she won't rmbr that i teach her the wrong things. bleahx. maybe tuition is not for me.. >_<

then got this guy called shawn aka squid head from holy innocents primary school. he was drawing bra all over his assessment books.. sheesh. such perverted tots at such tender age! what's the world coming to!!! oh well anw, when i questioned him he said that i accused him wrongly... cos the thing he drew wasn't bra. it was car headlights. wow~ such creativity at such young age. how amazing! -.-"

but overall the kiddos quite cute and funny. then the boys very nice one leh! when i ask to borrow liquid paper, they were the first one to dig thru their pencil box and lend me their liquid paper. so sweet la!! you don't see that happening in JC guys. they're not as helpful... sigh. esp kuakua. haha. =P

then went for aviva cip today. was doing information counter job. quite cool leh the cip! got allowance of $10 per day some more! haha. love this kind of cip. anw, i think the event was quite a flop cos got a lot of unsure things, like when is whose match and who will playing against who at this timing, etc etc.. everything is subjected to change.. sigh.. even got this uncle who complained to me for abt 30 min abt what's wrong and how to improve them, blah blah.. well, he has a point la. people pay so much to watch this event then they all very blur. oh well. no commento.

oh and i saw susilo in person!!! haha. but was too shy to ask him to take photo with me.. boo.. regretted my decision after that.. at least take photo then got some memory of the event mah. lol. maybe i'll pluck up some courage if i happen to see him again on sat or sun. hehe. (:

angklung practices

2006-06-04T07:09:00.000-07:00

wahh, this week is angklung angklung angklung....

had INTENSIVE angklung practice all the way from wed to sat 8.30 to 3.30 everyday (except for sat which ends at 1). well, glad to say that some juniors improve a lot!! hehe.. soo happy to see them blossom! although some are still not there yet... but i'm SURE they'll improve! hee.. (:

but some juniors ar.. sheesh. no effort. sigh. shall not mention names.

okie anw, on sat afternoon, realise that my right thumb is swollennn.. argh.. got this gigantic blue black and i can't even hold a pen and write properly.. boo.. >_< but it got better today. phew~ must be cos too enthu to play the bawah and the rebanas. haha.

for any juniors reading this, if your thumb got no blister/blue black or not pain at all you must reflect okay! that means you never play with all your effort.. tsk tsk.. must improve okay? i'm sure you want to play loudly and play well. jiayou!

on a brighter note, i manage to pick up 6 bawah for apachi! hooray! and since got extra angklung so now i can play the 6 bawah. yayness! lucky it's harmoc segment after apachi.. everytime after playing the song my hands will go numb. lol. wonder how joyce can cope playing so many bawahs.. o.O

so until now mugging is still at ground level. haven't excited yet. HOW?! arghhh.

anw, we (the exco) went to sun-tan all our dear angklungs and percussion instruments on sat after practice. it was a really crappppyy experience. here's what happen:

after putting all our instruments in the correct sun-tanning position, we went out for lunch at coro.
came back around 2.30 pm and realise that the main gate is closed.
smiled and asked the auntie to help us open the door.
she said no.
WTH!

she said school gate is closed at one and NO ONE is supposed to enter the school after that.
at this moment, some alumni guys wanted to get out of school and she happily opened door for them.
still can tell us that some people are still playing soccer inside.
so conclusion is it's okie to be in school even after one but you just cannot come in after one.
!!!!!
why so weird one!! sheesh.

so what are we supposed to do?!
leave all our instruments there until monday?!
what if it rains!!
she finally relented and said she can allow ONE measley person in.
so this poor one person has to keep all 200++ angklungs and like 5 percussion instruments all alone?
how ridiculous!!

arguedddd some more (spent a total of around 20 min) and giving us the face, she said 4 can go in.
what's the diff between letting 4 ppl in and 7 ppl in?!
-.-"

and at around this moment, some construction workers came and wanted to enter the sch.
she happily let them in.
crap her.
so construction workers can come in but students cannot come in?
what's the world coming to!!! >_<
how can the school prefer alumni and construction workers to its own students?!

oh well. whatever la. we finally managed to come in anw. (with her screaming at us abt how it's our fault if the alarm ever rang and police came.. plus we're gonna have to pay for all these..) and she refused to help us open the gate when we're abt to leave. -.-" nvm lor, we can open ourselves. hahaha. big deal..

no wonder everyone says NJ is a lousy school! sheesh. school rules are incredibly strict and ridiculously unflexible. sigh.

esplanade performance

2006-05-12T06:11:00.000-07:00

this week has been a super tiring week.. mon and tues have angklung public performance at the esplanade concourse. it was a very enjoyable experience i must say.. hehe.. it's been a while since we had a public performance.. mon's performance was a little screwd though.. sigh.. partly cos my fault.. i din manage to play the 44 04 04 04 04 44 part for save the last dance properly.. boo.. so disappointed with myself.. =( sorry for letting everyone down..

but tues performance was superb!! haha. think we got the hang of it le and everyone just did better. so happy and satisfied. =) took lots of photos too!! all in jieying's camera though.. cos poor me don't have digi cam.. lol. i shall wait for nice jy to upload the photos. (:

and i must say that the dressing rooms in esplanade are superrr nice!!!!! mirrors and lights and nice carpet everywhere! heehee.. can just dump everything on the super big table when we're hurrying cos there's AMPLE space. hehe.. love it so much! and the toilet is super clean too! can wear the stockings with ease.. phew~ and of cos, the best thing of all is i enjoy the company. really like my fellow angklungnites! so glad we got such cute and sweet juniors.. gonna miss these times a lot..

oh and one thing i realise, angklung is made up of basically 4 main groups of ppl.
ONE: those that have caring parents that come and fetch them from sch after the late performances.
TWO: those that stay near these ppl with nice parents, so can just tumpang their cars home.
THREE: those that stay in hostels (basically all the scholars).
FOUR: those that need to cross the street to go home (all those living near jurong, bukit panjang, etc).

and then there's me. poor me who doesn't need to cross the road. i ended up being the ONLY person at nj bus stop waiting for my 157 to come.. sigh. luckily it came quite fast.. was quite scared to be the only one at the bus stop.. >_<

well, constance did offer to un-fetch (is there such a word?!) zihao so that he can take the same bus with me.. here's the convo:
cons: hah? you alone ar? you want zihao to go home with you or not?
zihao: silent but giving the face that says 'please say no'.
ilona: um, nvm la, don't need. i think i'm fine on my own.

conclusion: we shall not be dependent on guys that are undependable. (:

oh well, moving on.. then wed got college day tech run.. when i reached home my body was just so tired i can't do anything anymore.. i can't even wake up the following day.. so i din come school on thurs.. my body's just too lousy i guess.. =(

that's it for now! shall update again when i feel like it~

PS: thanks to hup and joyce for helping me with my school stuff! so sweet! (:

napfa

2006-04-29T07:33:00.000-07:00

yay, i'm updating again! =)

basically the highlight of this week is NAPFA. -.-"

ran 2.4 on tuesday and got timing of 17.11.. very happy already actually.. but *ahem* school don't allow for bronze.. so need to re-run. =(

re-run on friday and thanks to the SWEET and NICE and KIND-HEARTED gals in my class (special thanks to angela, evelyn and elaine) who encouraged and pushed me, i manage a time of 16.36! HOORAY!! yes, finally a silver!! soooo happieeee!! i think words can't really describe the happiness i felt when i finally passed.. haha..

then today is 5 items. it all went well at first.. i can actually jump 164 cm today!! what a blessed day! (: until my last station.. inclined pull-up sucks. ms koh is so freaking strict and she din even count 1 for me. -.-" how miserable is that..

then went to re-queue so that can retake (and queue is sooooo longgg), this time try with mr tong. better than ms koh but still.. i only manage 4 pull-ups. ugh.. and i keep telling myself there's NO WAY i'm going to fail today and retake everything on another day cos then i might not pass my standing board jump! but mr tong is so mean and doesn't allow us to retake anymore after the 2nd one.. i was so sadddd and depresseddd!

so i went to beg mr sham to PLEASE help and he agreed to help me do one last time! so sweet! haha. did it with everything i got and every inch of my energy.. and YES, i did 7.. phew.. SO HAPPY!!!!! (:

my hands are totally shivering after that (like parkinson's disease like that) and i went super late for angklung too.. such is the sacrifice of passing napfa!! lol. anw now that i clear it, i don't have to practice running every morning le.. soo glad. (:

and some past updates:
went for aristal last week and it TOTALLY rocks. the dancers are so pro la!! 3 of my favourite dances are the latin dance (by western dance), ang-gun (by chinese dance) and the finale item (by chinese dance). superrrr duperrr nice!! hehe.. really worth my 15 bucks.. and i think chinese dance is the best dance group! they dance in almost total unison one. WOAH.. i can't imagine the amount of time and effort they put into practice.. >_< of cos not saying that the other dance groups never put in effort or they're not nice la.. don't get me wrong.. (:

jasmine and weina really dance well too.. so proud of them!! and due to some errors, 5 of my class gals (including me) sat at the MOST front row while the rest of the gals and the guys sat behinddd. well, even though almost everyone thinks that the front seats sucks and cannot see anything, i think otherwise! i think it's the best seats of the whole theatre.. heehee.. i can everyone's faces quite clearly and their facial expression and how thick their make-up is, etc etc.. lol. i simply LOVE the performance. (:

on another note, angklung's public performance at esplanade coming up on 8 and 9 of may! hehe.. quite excited actually.. haven't been performing for quite some time now. hopefully it'll turn out okay. =)

bitter vs sweet

2006-04-15T04:12:00.000-07:00

hmmm, i think i haven't updated for like soo longg now.. haha. but since this week is a longgg weekend week (WEEEE!!), here goes some updates.

got CT results back. kanasai as usual. -.-" okie maybe got improve a little bit for econs but the sciences are just as ugly as usual. sometimes i wonder what is it i am doing wrong that i can't even pass the O grade for both sciences. hmm. my brain is just not made to study science i guess. sigh.

submitted my A level registration form without physics since i kinda like chemistry better than physics.. (even though both are about the same grade..) like i understand even a teeny weeny portion of superposition.. >_< but this was before food chem's carbohydrates lecture started. sighh. why is everything so un-understandable? i think i'm in the wrong school. =(

on a brighter note.. oh wait, there isn't any brighter note.

thursday sucks. shan't elaborate much here since i've already told my story to soo many people i don't think they want to see it again here. hee.. all i can say is that i hate people who always say this say that but not doing it themselves. i hate people who blame other people for their own problems. i hate people who only go with the flow without caring about other people's feelings. i hate people who always joke and play with me yet hating me inside. i hate the number 17 too.

and just a suggestion: if you want to bitch about somebody, please do look around first. for all you know the person is just behind you. (:

talked to ezzah last night about basically everything under the sun. haha. feel so much happier after that.. heehee.. like this big burden i have all the while suddenly just disappear from my shoulder. pheww. =)

there isn't any angklung practice today since it's a holy saturday. at first i was quite happy really. haha. it has been a really longgg time since i can wake up late on a beautiful saturday. but erm, when it does happen, it doesn't make me feel any happier. i wonder why.

at 10 am, i was thinking: "hmm, i could be practising a new song right about now. or maybe revise 'heart and soul' or 'i want to break free'." (i really love all the new songs we're learning now!! hehe..)

sth is seriously wrong with me!! -.-" i could actually miss angklung so much.. haha. i guess it's been part of my life for so long that i feel weird without it. sigh. i'm just not used to changes. =(

and it's really weird that i can love angklung so much when some people inside are really giving me so much trouble. i guess it's bcos some other lovely people can really outweigh the bitter part. (:

at the end of the day, your memories will be divided into 2 parts: the bitter part and the sweet part. but as the years go by, i think only the sweet memories will stay. as you grow older, your memory capacity will decrease rite? i suppose your brain will just filter out all the unwanted memories. so why bother about cutting down on the bitter part at the expense of creating more sweet part? i shall thus work on increasing the sweet memories from now onwards. =)

i shall not give a damn about you anymore. in fact i totally love this one particular part of my convo with ezzah ytd. the part where i'm being evil to you of cos. hahaha.

okie, i'm an evil person. but then again, why shouldn't i be? since people are generally evil to me, what's wrong with me being evil to them back? (:

if you watch the movie "the interpreter", there's this part about a way of life of this particular tribe. when someone murder someone else and is caught for it, they don't just send the person to jail or what. there'll be this ritual that's supposed to help the victim's family members feel better.

they will bind the murderer and throw him into the river. no one is supposed to help or save him except for the victim's family. according to legend, if the family members decide to save him, they won't be able to take revenge but they'll be able to move on. they can then let go of the pain they feel when their beloved dies and thus, by saving the murderer, they're actually saving their own souls.

if however, they decide to let the murderer die, they'll be satisfied as they can watch the person who take their beloved away from them die a horrible death. to suffocate and slowly die. a painful death. but if they do this, they will never be able to let go of the misery they feel of losing someone dear to them. they'll forever be trapped in sadness.

so which choice will you make?

i guess it's easy to say that the first choice is the right one. but are you really able to do it? when you really lost that special someone, can you really forgive the person who take him/her away?

not everything is as easily done as it is easily said. ohh i even learn how to say this in chinese! it's "shuo de rong yi, zuo de nan". hehe.. hupkee teach me one. i hope i rmbr it correctly. (:

so well, bottomline is.. okie i dunno what the bottomline is.. haha. just some food for thought i guess.

enrichment week - 2nd part

2006-03-31T01:35:00.000-08:00

ugh.. i have sore throat and mild flu now.. can't talk properly.. can't have lots of nice food that i want to eat too.. sigh. anw, here's some updates on enrichment week. (:

nth much happened on wed and fri, but thurs was windsurfing day! YIPPIE! (:

windsurfing is a sports that's EASILY done on land (all the demo and try-out on land is totally fine) and then you go to the sea and all the theory doesn't seem to work anymore. >_<

but i was quite proud of my achievement though. okay fine it's not much.. i'm only able to stand properly with the correct position for a max of 5 seconds. then i will fall off the board. LOL. how to windsurf like that?! but hey.. it's only a ONE DAY COURSE. what do you expect? haha.

it's really very fun falling off into the sea so many times and then watching your friends fall off into the sea so many times too. hee.. the sea water really sucks though. and when you fall backwards, some of the water will go into your eyes, nose and mouth. EWWWW. yucks. plus it stings and hurts a lot too.

and now my whole body, top to bottom, is aching.. ouch. my shoulder hurts. so does my back. i have bruises everywhere, on my 2 knees and on my hands. i sprain both my index fingers, i don't know how i did it.. o.O plus there's a chunk of flesh missing from my left hand's middle finger. hmm. no wonder it hurts so much ytd. but well.. i guess it's still worth it. i had lots of fun. (:

my dear mommy was ~~very nice~~ about it btw!! she was like: aiya, who tell you go sign up for this kind of thing one.. serve you right la. blah blah..

HMPH. i think she'd love it if i sign up for all the talks under the sun, like marine conservation, the elegant universe, etc2.. basically all those activities that just need me to sit down and listen. -.-" no wonder i turn out this way.. so unfit. lol.

and on further thought, i think my mom is sad that she has a daughter like me.. sobs.. =(

my mom would love her kids to be kiasu and enthu, be the 1st on the line for everything, especially for excursion and stuff.. and sadly, she gave birth to me, who is such a slowpoke and always the LAST one to go anywhere.. sigh.

still rmbr when i was young, there was this field trip organised by my school. my grandma woke up super early and fetched me to school early so that i can be the 1st one to board the bus and sit in front. but sadly somehow i'm still the last one to board the bus! haa..

actually i don't think it's my fault. hmph. it's not i slow loh.. it's other kids too fast. they so enthu for what?! the bus won't go anywhere what! haiy0.

FREE at last.

2006-03-28T08:04:00.000-08:00

WOOHOO! CTs are way over and now is enrichment week le. i see i haven't updated for quite some time. hehe.. busy MUGGING mah.. can't blame me.. haha. see i'm not a closet mugger! i'm a proud self-proclaimed mugger! LOL. =P

anw, i hope results will turn out to be pretty okay this time. i'm emotionally exhausted to keep getting all the shitty results. sigh. my all-time aim is always a DODO which i never achieve before. WHY! hmph. hope it'll be better this time. (:

went to tiger beer factory on monday morning. it was err.. unsatisfactory to a large extent. here's why:

1. the nicest teachers-in-charge in the whole wide world left me and hupkee in NJ. we came to atrium at around 9.55 cos the time table in the book says gather at 10. we're such early birds. (: anw, there was no one there! only got a whole big bunch of starbucks peeps. so we waited and waited until another 2 ppl show up (hupkee's friends) who are also gg for the tiger beer. so we rotted there until like 10.15 before deciding to call one of the teachers (which due to the goodness of my heart shall remain anonymous). and she happily tell us they're on the expressway to jurong already.

HOW SWEET! they din even bother to call us or what for not being there. they din take attendance. they din do head count. nothing. well, i know it's partly our fault.. cos by right apparently we're supposed to meet at 9.45 and we very blur-pok so we dunno. but i think teachers hold half the responsibility? at least it'll be nice to give the students one measly teeny weeny call? and no one bother abt the 4 of us. they even gave our places to other students. GREAT! (:
the 4 of us end up taking a cab down to the factory ourselves..

2. the trip wasn't as great as i tot it would be and my 10 bucks is so not worth it. the factory is so freaking hot and most of our time is spent listening to how they make the beer. well it's quite insightful but i'm more interested in how they market their products and how come it's so successful both locally and internationally. sigh. and the souvenir isn't very nice either. haha. okay this is out of the point.

3. the teachers. (AGAIN. lol.) one of them was lecturing us on the bus abt how unprofessional the tiger beer ppl are cos there are a lot of things we din manage to do. then still tell us cannot be like that when we grow up.. blah blah blah..

um hello? are you behaving professionally urself? you din show any care and concern for ur missing students! hmph. and when we reach NJ she kind of refuse to chop our cards by being so sarcastic abt our irresponsibility of being late. well yes we're irresponsible. but she is too. it's the responsibility of the teachers to account for her students yeah? and when she din even bother abt missing students AT ALL, she isn't exactly displaying a very responsible image. -.-" she needs a mirror man!
well anw, she did chop for us in the end. hee.. if not i'll file a complaint! >_<

so much yucki-ness on monday morning. archery in the afternoon is okay though. i simply love archery! (:

went for SPH excursion on tuesday morning. 100000000 better than tiger beer excursion! i love the trip! it's super insightful, interesting, fun, etc2.. (all the good vocab) and the guy who's giving the tour is really nice and sweet. he even gave us free file, super pretty notebook and newspapers. hahaha. so sweet of them! and i only pay 2 bucks for this excursion? so worth my money! (: and the best thing is that the print centre is full air-con. YAY-ness! no more constant sweating during tours. WEEEE!

okay i'm giving the impression that i'm very cheapo rite.. getting so excited over all the FREE goodies.. lol. =P

had archery again in the afternoon (it's a 2-part session). even better than the previous day! all shooting, no more lectures. haha. so fun!

and my group (me, hupkee and a guy which i forget the name already - chinese name very difficlt to rmbr) WON THE GROUP SHOOTING COMPETITION! big congrats to us! so happiee! haha. we managed a score of 240/270. (2nd highest grp at 231/270 and 3rd highest grp at 223/270) not bad at all. and there's even a time where we scored 85/90 for 1 set of shooting. cool! maybe we have hidden talents.. hmm.. =D

just for info, innermost circle (bullseye portion) is 10 points and it decreases by 1 point each for the following circles after that one. one shooter will shoot 3 arrows each time for a total of 3 sets. the total score of all 3 shooters is then added up to give 270 points.

well, so much for these 2 days' activities. more to come! hehe.. shall be updating abt the other days' activities asap. (:

i love kids

2006-03-04T07:04:00.000-08:00

WEEE, went for the FP class cip today and decided to help out with the junior groups. so fun! haha. all the kids are like so cutee~ (:

i think the students-in-charge (lydia and elaine?) are super fantastic with children! wish i could be like them.. i'm like so lousy and don't know how to handle them.. sigh. so much for huppy's theory. -.-"

but i was kinda sad that i couldn't participate in the game though.. i was supposed to be the 'crocodile' station master but when i was accompanying the kids draw on their hats, this kid just started to cry cos he wanted to see his mom! i freaked out!

then i brought him to the lady-in-charge and she told me his mom not there.. oh no! HOW! so she said i should try bringing him to walk around and calm him down.. and since i need to attend to him, i kinda missed the game... somebody else took my crocodile role and i ended up rotting with the kid and cleaning up after him (he keeps spilling water everywhere..)

ahh sigh. but nvm, i can see that most of the kids have fun and that's the most impt thing. (:

oh and joyce said that playing the slide is very fun and that i should try.. so i told her i scared the slide can't take my weight and the whole thing will just *kaboom*! lol. well obv that's a factor too. but the truth is.. i am scared of slides. hahaha. okie this sounds so dumb. but since i'm young, i don't dare to play slides one.. i don't know why.. hmm.

still rmbr the time when i was young.. i was at this BIG swimming pool in indo with super big and super many slides here and there. i climbed all the way to the highest one and ended up squatting near the opening cos i don't dare to go down. haa. then there was this boy that came and consoled me (he was so sweet! other kiddos just push me aside cos they want to play the slide and i'm blocking them -.-")

then after talking to him for a while i decided to take a chance! so i told him i'll go after him. then he *swoosh* down.. but i still don't dare to slide down! LOL. then i continue squatting there until he pops up again.. apparently he's determined to get me down.. so he told me (YES i actually still rmbr what he told me YEARSS ago): "okay i teach you how to not be afraid okay. you sit at the hole there 1st".

so i followed his instructions.. see i trust him so much! then he sat behind me and PUSH ME DOWN! MEAN BOY! i think i shouted my lungs out as i plunged into the pool! >_< and i think that's the last time i ever played slides? lol.

sheesh. boys and their weird ways to solve problems. -.-" it's too practical to be true.

ohh btw, today is my 1st time visiting mr tan's blog (angklung teacher). and after reading his entry abt this student that complains that he's a lousy teacher.. i feel like a REALLY ROTTEN girl. i've been such an un-cooperative student and i still complain so much abt bunny! arghhh.. so from today onwards.. i shall love bunny and not complain abt him anymore. hee.. he's quite a good and hardworking teacher actually.. (:

anyhow, went to watch soccer match (NJ vc HC) on fri to accompany ezzah. quite fun to watch la.. hee.. and then while having dinner with her.. she told me sth MEAN abt my blog! hmph. SO disappointed.

thus i shall end this entry by saying i hate ezzah! haha.

so funniiee!

plus we also managed to get SPH and tiger beer excursions and archery. so cool! (thanks huppy for accompanying me go archery, i'm SURE you'll like it okay!) still remember we were like cheong-ing as though there's no tmr! from chem lab we RAN all the way down to linkway to sign up for windsurfing.. *yes, the un-athletic us actually RAN. lol* wooshh! i think it's the fastest we've ever ran in our lives! mr sham will be so proud of us! hehe.. (:

can't wait for CT to be over and then go for all the fun activities! weeEEeee!

on the other hand.. PE has been torturous. sigh. i just hate napfa. and i hate it even more now cos they increase the standards to pass. hmph. mean mean people. they think everyone is so fit. sigh. well, of course there are ppl like angela who can just take napfa test for guys and still do brilliantly.. but what abt the other extreme case like me! boo!

ahh well, anw i'm SURE i'll improve wif the help of mr sham! haha. *okay this is so self-delusional* sigh.

oh and GP today was scary. me, liwen and jieying were late.. (my fault.. i'm sorry dears..) then mr ducro got so angry he walked out of class! ARGHHHH! i almost died of heart attack! so i pulled jieying and liwen to run after him togg to apologise.. and wif the help of andrew (surprisingly he's quite a sweet talker) we manage to convince him to come back to class! phew.. imagine what'll happen if he deserted us 2 weeks before the CT! ugh.. GP can just fail!

anw the mean thing is.. some people are actually happie that he walked out of class. hmm. weird really. when the CT is like just a few weeks away? anw i'm so glad i decided to apologise to him.. i'll never live with myself otherwise! all the guilt on my shoulder! =(

roadrun (:

2006-02-19T01:46:00.000-08:00

okay i think i haven't been updating since donkey years ago.. haha. so here goes some random updates! (:

roadrun was on friday. contrary to how i feel about running.. it was quite fun! hee.. i especially love the part where i can stand at the finish line, watch people (the J2 guys basically) come in and cheer for them! weeEeE! in cedar got no such thing! i was always the last few to come in can! LOL. >.< especially when i was in sec 4.. cos it's sec 2 run 1st, then sec 1, 3 then LASTLY sec 4..

when i was in sec 1.. of cos i wouldn't want to stand there and cheer for people.. basically everyone that i knew already came in before me.. *sobs*
when i was in sec 2, i couldn't remember what i was thinking. hmm.
when i was in sec 3, i was on PA duty. YES, don't need to run. haha. but couldn't go anywhere either. only can sit there beside the trophies and medals. have a good look at them too. sth that i'll never be able to touch mah. lol.
when i was in sec 4, not much people behind me! who to cheer for! =(

yeah well, that's my sad life during roadrun (we call it cross country in cedar). sigh. anyhow, i like the way it is being done in NJ! haha. btw, jason's legs are like so longgg can! he was basically flying thru the track... woah.. oh and somehow me and huppy missed seeing chinghow, samuel and bala. hmm. we were standing there all the time but we din see them coming in when the other gals did?!? sth is wrong wif our eyes man! hmm.

oh and v-day rocks! i love my astatine! i love my angklung exco! and nopie and adinia too! (:

thank you for all the gifts! you guys made my day. (:

gong xi!

2006-01-28T04:00:00.000-08:00

yippEEeee! holidays already! hehe.. =) =)

been having the time of my life these few days.. went out with huppy and liwen on thursday to go JP and pasar malam. we pon phy make up lect.. lol. too bad mad can't go wif us.. ended up eating seoul garden for lunch. haha. there goes $$$. liwen is a mean MEAN person. she poured a whole small cup of SOYA SAUCE into my drink. hmph. HMPH. i haf to ask the waiter for another glass saying that i accidentally drop sth into my cup.. and he gave me the "why are you so dumb" look. sigh. =(

then she has to leave quite early to meet her parents so me and hup continued to walk2 and we ended spending like one hour plus in comics connections! haha. *sorry huppy!* i took eternity to choose the nicest poker cards and posters. LOL. i think the shopkeepers wanted to kick us out of the shop already. haha. especially after what huppy did. i was choosing these cute inuyasha pins.. ater spending like 15 min choosing, decided to buy 2 pins. then when i was abt to pay (take out $$ already leh!), huppy asked: "actually you buy for what?" then i reflected for a while and i realised "ya hor! i buy for what.. hmm..". so i tell the woman i don't want to buy already. hoho. she must have hated huppy. lol.

on friday went out with my dearest cedar gang to celebrate lihong's belated birthday! we ate at fish and chip at PS. OMG! the serving is like super biGG but it's so nice! hehe.. ohh, it was so coincidental that i met the s14 people in the bus.. they also going PS. haha. when we alighted from the bus, it looks like i'm so thick-faced and i'm like tagging along with their class.. *diaox* but no choice! we were walking the same way! and i'm like the only purple one (i was wearing aerius house tee) among their bumblebee class jersey. yellow and purple totally don't go with each other btw. -.-"

yay, i'm updating again! =) contrary to common belief.. it doesn't take too long rite? hehe..

today had physics spa.. nonsense.. it was sooo hard to cut the wire i feel like dying.. was so stressed when i can't cut it.. sigh. but luckily still manage to do it in the end.. three cheers for moi! okie, shan't elaborate anymore. cos spa is a national exam and we cannot discuss it... (blah blah). i can't rmbr the exact wordings. lol.

cny is coming!! yay! and double yay! holidays and hong baos are on their way.. =) let's hope that some nice souls will invite me over to their house to bai nian.. *hint hint* i wanna go see other people's house! (:

oh and the whole class is gonna wear sec sch uniforms on friday, can't wait! long time never wear cedar uniform le.. cos stupid jieying refused to wear wif me on j1 induction day. hmph. =( hopefully can sneak in into LT and watch superstar! (heard that J2s are supposed to be at hall and watch some unknown things..) wanna hear the S14 guys sing.. (jieying say they sang very well)

oh one more thing, today's phy lecture was so funny.. realise that the s14 guys are very funny.. the guy in front of me and huppy (shan't mention name) was totally dozing off.. which was perfectly normal.. the guy next to him was doing EMI assignment (he do very fast leh! so efficient.. so jealous!). the guy next to him didn't doze off but you can totally tell he's in lala land already.. and the funniest thing.. another guy was totally paying attention to the lecturer but his notes isn't even open.. -.-" LOL. so amusing. okie i know i shouldn't be doing this kind of nonsense during lecture.. but i don't understand a word the lecturer was saying.. so decided to practice my observation skills a while. hehe..

ahh well, that's it for now! time to watch TV! =)

=)

2006-01-12T02:35:00.000-08:00

school is happy happy days nowadays.. haha.. i think the main reason is cos i'm up to date with ALL the tutorials!! WOOHOO! how rare is this! love myself~ =)

PE tomorrow. sigh. Sigh. SIgh. SIGh. SIGH. i hate pe. hate hate. i'm so unfit, i'll just embarrass myself doing wadeva it is dat we're supposed to do. *sobs* =(

and road run is coming too. *puking* i think this kind of event should not be compulsory! lol. it's unnecessary torture and a waste of time. or at least if it's compulsory, any options for helping to give out free milo? =D
right. i'll just keep dreaming. -.-"

oh and did i mention that i LOVE my gp class? haha. mr ducro is so cute and funny.. and he lives in toa payoh too.. always take the same bus with him every morning. oh and ms chua too (the maths lecturer). and sp too actually. wonder why so many teachers live in tp.. hmm.. x_X

i've started to pray every night again, a tradition that i've stopped doing since like sec 2-3. after not doing it for so long, it feels so calming to share my burden with Him every night before i sleep. wonder why i stopped doing it last time.. hmmm.. well anw, i slept pretty well nowadays. hehe.. knowing that tomorrow will just a be a great day with His plans waiting for me.

okie, i shall stop ranting abt this here. it's starting to sound like alloy's diary. LOL. no offense girl! =)

moving on..

well, i guess xmas time is such a wonderful time of the year. (i know it's way over but hey.. it's never too late rite? lol.) yeppie so thanks to those who sent me xmas cards. really totful of you! knowing that i won't be in spore even when the cards arrive.. you guys are the sweetest! =) it really brightens my day..

every 6 months when i just get back to spore, i always feel so sad and home sickk... haha.. sometimes i even wonder why i'm continuing to study here when my family's back in indo.. sigh.. but always after reading all those sweet xmas cards, it makes me feel so much better.. to know that i have nice and totful friends around me. really apreciate it. thanks so much guys! it's prob just a trivial matter to you.. but just wanna let you know that it's a pretty big thing for me. =)

well, that's it for now then! see ya guys when school reopens! which is in 2 days time. sigh.. and my hw's not even finished! =(

i've been tagged...

2005-12-18T18:58:00.000-08:00

um, apparently after not checking my blog for some time..
i've been tagged (by jieying).

so i'm supposed to list 5 random facts about myself and continue the cycle by tagging 5 more people and they're supposed to do the same thing.

so here goes..

1. i haf doubts abt whether astrology is correct.. i'm a leo and i'm supposed to be outgoing, shine in crowds, blah blah.. all those personalities.. but i don't think dat's true for me. X)

2. i don't like crowds. if i go to places dat haf LOTSS of people, i'll tend to get headaches.. dat's why i prefer to go in small groups instead of big ones.. hehe.. not cos i'm introverted or anything..

3. i love bdaes! i think it's a wonderful occasion dat happen only once a year.. so i try to be very sweet and nice to people who are having their bdaes! hehe.. most of the time i'll work hard on the pressie.. it feels great when the person i give the pressie to smile and say thank you. =)

4. i haf no talents. yepp dat's right. how pathetic.. i can't sing, dance, draw, write quality stuff, cook, play piano or any other instruments (except if you count angklung which doesn't really need any good skills).. i'm pathetic at sports and i'm not smart either. SOBS! boohoooo! but well, i still believe that ONE DAY i'll find something i'm good at. lolx.

5. i'm totally totally in love wif comics!! okay, guess most people know this but i'm running out of facts to write. haha. so now i'm done!

hmm, don't think i'm gonna pass this on to the next 5 peeps. hehe.. X)

NJ's memorable moments

2005-10-29T07:36:00.000-07:00

hmm, long time nvr update le.. din know wad to write.. haha.. sure i can always update on outings and stuff.. but somehow it doesn't really appeal to me rite now.. =/

so.. i shall write about 3 of my most memorable moments in NJC so far. LOL. since my JC1 life is officially over, shall reflect upon my life and see what wonderful things have happened to me so far. =)

in ascending order,

no.1 : dat time, 1st 3 months, got this thing called "talentime" in NJ. actually i dun plan to go one.. until the day itself during the flag raising, got this acappella group that sang super well! plus weina will be dancing.. so i was considering whether i should go or not.. after sch, i was at bytes playing comp when this weird ACSI guy asked if i want to buy tix.. so i told him i'm still considering and that i'll buy once i decided. LOL. fickle-minded me. anw, he kept pestering me until i dun feel like going already! hmph. so i told him i'm not gg cos i haf no one to go wif.. was expecting him to go away after dat. but no! there was another ACSI guy walking past and the stupid moron just opened his mouth and asked him "eh she got no one to go with.. can go with her?" x_X i was so embarrassed la! i din even know that guy.. he made me sound like one despo girl.. sheesh. feel like murdering him loh.. and from dat day onwards, everytime i see the 2nd ACSI guy, he keeps giving me the face that says "i know you like me but pls stop stalking me". sheesh. -.-"

no.2 : during my 1st 3 months in NJ, i was close to this girl called zhihui. dat day, i was telling her that one of my friends say that this guy (as he walked past us) is very cute. but i don't think so. so decided to ask zhihui's opinion. haha. anw, a few days after dat, after PE, we were going up the stairs at canteen, when that guy and his friends walked past us. then zhihui opened her big fat mouth and said SUPER LOUDLY, "hey ilona! dat's the guy you say is very cute!" oh my gosh!! i could have died of embarrassment!! the guy and his grp of friends looked back and stared at me wif the confused look.. (duh.. he didn't even know me..) sheesh. i was sooo embarrassed to death. and i din even think he was cute. hmph. from dat day onwards, everytime i see them i feel like turning back and walking the other direction! so embarrassed. = /

no.3 : get locked in the canteen's toilet. -.-" okay this happened long ago when the canteen toilet was not renovated yet. i came to sch happily as usual and since it was kinda early, decided to go toilet 1st.. i was alone dat day since stupid SM is late, so we din take the bus together. anw, i went into the last cubicle (the squat one), do wadeva i need to do and then got out. or should i say tried to get out. when i turned the lock, the door just won't open!! damn it! i almost died of shock! never in my whole life i got stuck inside the toilet before.. sheesh. luckily my hp is wif me.. so i called SM. haha. fortunately she hadn't reached the parade square yet so she came to my rescue. =) she turned the lock from outside using a coin but the door just won't budge. so she called this auntie. the auntie tried to break the door but she just wasn't strong enough.. and after a few tries, she told me that she'll pass a chair in and i can just climb out. i was so horrified!! the door is so tall!! even with a chair, i can never climb out la! so anw, super fortunately for me, this uncle came in and helped me. he banged the door wif his strong shoulder and 'bang' the door broke. YAY! i could finally come out. *phew* i felt so relieved.. haha. anw, the door couldn't be locked for some time after dat (it broke mah) and i shall assume dat it's not my fault! LOL. so moral of the story is.. always bring your hp when you go toilet! you never know when you'll need it. haha..

so much for my happy ending

2005-10-20T07:54:00.000-07:00

well, life isn't a fairytale and there's no such thing as happy ending. at least currently i think so. promos results are out and it really hits me hard on the face. like a big fat cold fish being slapped on my cheeks. again and again.

sigh.

most people are worried now. worried for different things though.

case 1: you qualify for S papers and have no idea which subjects to take. i suggest you don't try to ask your poor friends who score very badly for advice. not that they don't want to help you. but you're being very insensitive to their feelings. inferiority does exist.

case 2: you have to drop a subject and you have no idea which subject to drop. in that case it helps to ask as many people as possible. some people really do give an insightful advice on the matter. =)

case 3: you are on probation. [like yours truly] you have no idea whether to just drop a subject now and not bother about it again for the next CT. or should you try again next year and see first? but wad if you try so hard and you fail AGAIN? not sure whether your heart can take the emotional blow when that happens. i suggest that you do stick to 4 subjects though. bet your teachers have tried so hard to try to get you out of the "drop a subject" list to the "on probation" list. you shall try not to disappoint them. again.

case 4: worst case scenario.. you are retained. you feel like a failure. on one hand you feel like giving up and just go to a poly and forget all about JC education. on the other hand you really do want to lead a life in JC. but there is a new syllabus next year and you are not sure whether you can handle it. well, i do believe that you can. really really super duper hoping that you're coping with the situation and just want to let you know that ALL your friends do care a lot about you but some of them just don't dare to approach you to find out how you're doing. do take care..

case 5: you did okay. but your good friends did not. they seem to look sad and depressed most of the time and you don't know what to do. your mood is kinda affected and you begin to look sad too. then you got scolded for being frowny when you have done okay. although you feel satisfied but there is a small portion of your heart that feels empty. and you don't know why. i guess this is only temporary. i'm sure your friends do share in your happiness but they just need time to get over their own problems before they can be happy for you. but pls note that they DO feel happy for you. don't get them wrong. they're not jealous or anything.. okay maybe they are a little. but they definitely are happy for you. do trust them.

okay, pretty long entry.. i dunno wad i'm saying.. it sounds like a lump of whines and nonsense. lol. oh well, what are you expecting from a depressed person anw.. haha.. shall blog abt sth happy soon then. if there's any. =)

fun funn funnn

2005-10-17T07:57:00.000-07:00

happie happie days!
haha. been enjoying myself much these days.. pretty busy wif life.. [kinda reflected in my poor un-updated blog.. lol.]

signed up to be a student volunteer for open day and gosh. it was super fun!! sth that i really love and do not regret to spend so much time on. =) but kinda feel guilty about it though.. din manage to spend much time and effort for angklung cos of dat.. oh noo! *blush guiltily*

anw, shall update a little on my weekend.

friday: got rehearsal for open day performance after school and then got student volunteer briefing after that.. haf to paste footprints all around school and make sure that all the routes are fool-proof. stupid rain makes things worse.. ahh well.. some things are just unpredicted. stayed in school until like 9 plus?! couldn't really rmbr.. haha.. after dat went out for dinner wif nopie, ferro and rizky at KFC. (: went home and SLEEP.

sat: open day. very funnn! i guess the performance wasn't that bad. haha.. got huppy to do me a certain nice favour. LOL. and the most horrible thing happened cos adinia had to open her big gossipy mouth.. sheesh. i hope no harm is done. haha. anw it was fun sitting there at the booth wif her and just keep saying 'welcome to NJC', 'make NJC your 1st choice!', etc etc.. hehe.. really enjoy dat.. after the whole thing finish, haf to clean the school of rubbish and balloons and posters and everything else.. had dinner at black canyon cafe wif nopie, ferro, simon and wibowo. nice place and nice food! highly recommended. (: reached home at like 9 plus and fell asleep while reading yijun's comics.. -.-

sunday: angklung performance at Taman Warisan.. came to school to practice after going to church in the morning.. well some mean people came late.. sheesh. while some others din even bother to come.. sigh.. ahh well. anw, the performance wasn't that bad i guess.. though i make pretty lots of mistakes. haha. 1st time playing '7' cos serena din come. and 1st time standing in front row also.. so scaryy! got full blast of audience staring at you.. i was so stressed! >_< stayed there until like around 8 pm.. the food they served was nice though. (:

so there goes my beautiful weekend!! =( soo tiredd.. but liwen says "at least you had fun" and it's so true. hehe.. really enjoy it. shall look forward to the big angklung makan at the end of the year! heehee.. all bcos our performance is paid. $350 for 20 peeps. lotssa food! (:

too bad for those who din come.. no money for them! =(

new skin!

2005-10-07T09:07:00.000-07:00

YAYNESS! promos are finally over.. so happie! haha.. shall worry abt the results later.. got soo many things i wanna do.. can't wait! hehe.. 1st thing on the list is done le. changing of blog skin is completed! HOORAY! =) still wanna read harry potter book 6 (yes, unfortunate me still hafn't read yet..), read the comics my dad brought from indo, try to find nice books in library (hopefully not comics again.. -.-), learn cross-stitching (LOL) and err, many other stuff! haha.

anw, open day is coming in like one week.. will be so busy wif the performance rehearsals and banner and preparation and stuff.. sigh.. got no time to do a lot of things YET. sigh. oh well, shall haf a lot of time at hand once open day is over! (:

eh but got PW.. hmm.. things just keep coming and coming.. it's like a never-ending road.. =( anw, i'm reading this comic titled "KODOCHA" right now. gosh, it's super nice!!! i was like reading it like until 3.30 am ytd.. haha.. can't help myself.. i just love comics so much! and book no 8 was so sad.. can't help crying.. haha.. it's highly recommended! go read!

had jieying's and zhengliang's bdae celebration today wif my fellow exco member. so fun! heex.. we ate at jack's place.. the food was not bad and it's cheap too. student's promotion! haha.. and the cake was super delicious.. *sllrrppp* LOL. hope they had a great day too. =) 2mr we're gonna start painting the banner.. hopefully it'll turn out to be nice! hehe..

oh ya, i know promos are all over.. but just wanna pen down some of my tots during the exams period.. i find it weird why some people are kinda mean and unwilling to share some of the hints that they got? it's not like ranks are important anymore.. we dun even haf any in JC! will they be satisfied if they manage to beat their friends' results? wad's wif the competitive spirit? -.- i tot exams are supposed to be a measure of how much YOU haf learnt and studies, not how much you can beat other people.. sigh.. ahh well, i guess some people think differently? =(

wonder wad will happen if the rules and regulations change and that only 90% of the total cohort can promote.. it'll be super interesting huh.. everyone will try to beat each other so much and i guess friendships will be affected too. sigh. is dat all there is to life? satisfaction of beating other people? even though they're your friends? i just don't understand some people.

end of hols.. boo000ooo!

2005-09-08T22:10:00.000-07:00

hmm, hafn't been updating my blog for quite some time now.. hehe.. busy MUGGING. lolx. okay la, more like busy catching up! just finished doing my chem bonding tutorials. *finally!* i know it's like superrr long ago but well.. mr foo went thru so fast i dun haf time to do it.. haha.. excuses as per normal.. so now it's done. feel quite proud of myself.. =P

today is friday. sigh. the usual TGIF (thank god it's friday) doesn't apply.. it's more like OMGIF (oh my god it's friday)! as per normal, i din finish what i initially planned to do.. ugh.. hafn't even read my econs notes yet.. i'm starting to dread econs nowadays.. dun really understand the topic and mrs koh isn't really helping even wif all her excessive tutorials.. how? =(

ahh well.. life is SUPER hard!

anw, i found this really cute story on friendster bulletin board (okay, i know i shouldn't even be there.. lolx). shall post it here:

A father passing by his son's bedroom was astonished to see the bed was nicely made and everything was picked up.

Then he saw an envelope propped up prominently on the centre of the bed. It was addressed, "DAD". With the worst premonition, he opened the envelope and read the letter with trembling hands:

DEAR DAD, it is with great regret and sorrow that i'm writing this. I had to elope with my new girlfriend because i wanted to avoid a scene with mom and you.

I've been finding real passion with Barbara and she is so nice even with all her piercing, tattoos and her tight motorcycle clothes. But it's not only the passion, DAD - she's pregnant and Barbara assures me that we will be very happy.

Even though you don't care for her since she is so much older than i am, she already owns a trailer in the woods and has a stack of firewood enough for the whole winter.

She wants to have many more children with me and that's now one of my dreams too.

Barbara taught me that marijuana doesn't really hurt anyone and we'll be growing it for ourselves and trading it with her friends for all the cocaine and ecstasy we need.

In the meantime, we pray that science will find a cure for aids so that Barbara can get better; she sure deserves it!!

Don't worry Dad, i'm 15 years old now and i know how to take care of myself. Someday i'm sure we'll be back to visit so you can get to know your grandchildren.

Your son, John.

P.S: Dad, none of this is true. I'm over at Jim's house. I just wanted to remind you that there are worse things in life than my report card, which is in my desk centre drawer.

I LOVE YOU!

Call when it's safe for me to come home.

title-less

2005-09-02T06:49:00.000-07:00

Not everybody has to love me or even like me.
I don't necessarily like everybody I know, so why should everybody else like me?
I enjoy being liked and being loved, but if somebody doesn't like me, I will still be okay and still feel like I am an okay person.
I cannot make somebody like me, any more than someone can get me to like them.
I don't need approval all the time.
If someone does not approve of me, I will still be okay.

People who do things I don't like are not necessarily bad people.
They should not necessarily be punished just because I don't like what they do or did.
There is no reason why other people should be the way I want them to be, and there is no reason why I should be the way somebody else wants me to be.
People will be whatever they want to be, and I will be whatever I want to be.
I cannot control other people or change them.
They are who they are; we all deserve basic respect.

I am responsible for how I feel and what I do.
Nobody can make me feel anything.
If I have a rotten day, I am the one who allowed it to be that way.
If I have a great day, I am the one who deserves credit for being positive.
It is not the responsibility of other people to change so that I can feel better.
I am the one who is in charge of my life.

I don't have to be a certain way because of what has happened in the past.
Every day is a new day.
It's silly to think I can't help being the way I am.
Of course I can.
I can change.

pretty nice poems don't you think? got it from chicken soup. hehe.. hmm, today was a pretty fun day. mr koh's rapping rocks. =) and barney's grooming also not bad. naraen and chinghow were looking nice [and sulky]. lolx. anw, din know that there are sooo many things we need to know abt grooming.. the eyeshadow part can make people bankrupt le! x_X

yep then after dat got library meeting at 1 pm, or so they say. it's actually shelfing of books la. *sheesh* but well, if we, dedicated librarians, din do it, then who will? -.- stayed until around 3.30 pm to finish it.. ugh.. actually still hafn't finish.. there'll people coming on monday to do again. not me obviously.. x_X

still thinking whether i should quit library next year.. hmm.. quite a waste of time la.. but next year should be quite slack.. no renovation, no night duty.. hehe.. well, still got a few months to think abt it.

on a sadder note, many people are quitting angklung next year.. *sobss* councillors and people who are holding exco positions in other ccas.. sigh.. feel really sad even before it happens.. but well, life goes on i guess.. will still see them around in school.. =)

happie teacher's day!

2005-08-31T06:12:00.000-07:00

hmm, happie teacher's day for all teachers! =) ahh well, so happie today.. no lessons, just celebration and pigging out! hehe.. really love the concert, SO nice! i think NJ standard not bad leh.. the choir people sang vr nicely.. =) too bad the PA system is a little sad..

ahh anw, din go baq to cedar today.. reasons being: din really miss any teachers that i desperately want to talk to and novi asked me out to go lunch at nydc wif other indo peeps. promise her since long ago le.. so yep.. anw, turn out that the guys back out at the last minute, saying they are tired.. so just left wif me, novi and adinia.. betta i guess.. girls can talk better mah.. lolx.

anw, got scolded by so many people today for not going baq.. *hikss*.. so sorry guys.. i din know SO MANY people will be going back.. now i kinda regretted la.. should've gone baq.. sigh.. i'm always like dat.. regretting things dat i've done.. sigh.. feeling so mean now.. oh well.. it's over anw.. next time will try to think properly before i make decisions.

at least i did enjoy the lunch.. hehe.. the food was nice and the company great. can't wait for promos to be over.. -.- then can go out to shop and do many other things! =)

sp.. >_<

2005-08-26T08:33:00.000-07:00

hmm, just read liwen's blog and decided to blog abt my unhappy incident. hahax.. read on if you're interested. =]

it was a gloomy tuesday morning [sounds like i'm writing an essay.. -.-] and i had angklung stuff to do.. had to perform for some vietnamese people. so i came super early to school. boarded the 6.40 bus instead of the usual 7.10 am. happens that sp loves coming to school so early.. so we were on the same bus. *yikes* for those who din know, she lives at toa payoh and go to the same bus stop as me. how lucky of me.

the bus was quite full.. so i was sitting on this seat that is facing the side of the bus. and of all places, sp sat exactly right opposite me. x_X decided to pretend she's not there and start mugging for chem test. when alighting from the bus, i let her go 1st. [later she say i so rude not to give way to her..] and when i alighted, she was actually waiting for me at the bus stop!! ugh.. staring at me with those daggers look on her face. so erm.. here's the conversation:

me: erm, morning ms phua.
sp: who's your civics tutor?
me: mr kenneth koh.
sp: ohh. S5E. very bad class. full of bad people.
me: ERM, a lot of teachers said so but.... [din even manage to finish my sentence. was abt to say that i personally think that it's okay..]
sp: you are one of them.
me: x_X *looking on the ground*
sp: remove all the jewelleries [i was only wearing a tiny little necklace], remove the coloured socks [okie, this one my fault], remove all the painted nails [it was only silver glitter].
me: okay.

shucks la. so she has been staring at me the whole time we're on the bus la. sigh. apparently too free and nth better to do.. she has such eagle eyes.. can even see the silver glitter on my nails..

after the scolding, i walk VERY slowly and let her cross the bridge 1st. sadly, life isn't so good. when i reached the top of the stairs, realised that she's waiting for me again.. o_0

sp: it's already bad enuff that i had to warn you twice.

colours award 2005 - constellation of stars

2005-08-19T23:43:00.000-07:00

finally updating my dear blog! hehe.. hmm.. actually am feeling quite disappointed right now.. was reallyyy hoping that a certain someone was online.. but sigh.. it just isn't fate. i'll prob never be able to talk to that person. ever. ah well, it's okie.

yesterday was the colours award.. =) it was so nice! love the performances. love the food. love the people. love everything about it. and feeling sad now that it's over. sigh. i feel weird though.. i am not even supposed to be there in the 1st place. lolx. since i'm not in syf and all.. but since angklung is performing.. there i was. felt so fortunate to be there. to be part of angklung ensemble. and i am really glad to have chosen to be a part of the angklung exco. thank you lord for your guidance and for the wisdom to choose things that i won't regret. =)

angklung performance was a little screwd yesterday.. lolx. ahmad played a wrong beat during zapin and everyone was a little confused. but we managed okay. let's hope nobody noticed it. haha.. but the 2nd song, 'bengawan solo' was horrible! apparently mr dzul, our dear conductor, forgot that the base kulintang is supposed to start 1st.. so he signalled the angklung peeps to play.. and no one played. haa.. he repeated the signalling again.. and no one played again. *dead silence* he repeated again and zheng liang played his 5. o_0 but me, jieying and xt did not continue with our 3. hoho.. so there it was, in the middle of silence, someone suddenly played a note. cons called it the disrupted silence.. haha.. okie, shall not rmbr it anymore. anw, some people still say that it's nice.. heehee.. so happie to hear that. =)

top of the list is of cos choir.. hehe.. they sang soo beautifully ytd.. the 2nd song dat is. the 1st one is i dunno wad language? x_X 2nd song happened to be 'leaving on a jet plane'. such a sweet song.. aaahh.. and they all are so blessed with such beautiful voice.. should have recorded it! *grins* oh btw, heard from my choir friend that they were actually considering to sing 'for the longest time'. argh!! my favourite song! almost would have the chance to hear it.. after adinia boasted so much abt it, really really wanted to hear the NJ choir sang it.. heex.. it was too bad. sigh. =( ah well, let's hope there'll be other chances.

sometimes i really wish i could sing well.. hurhur.. okie, let's not be greedy and make dat 'wish i could sing'. then i could entertain myself when i'm feeling sad and down.. haha.. i shall stop spouting nonsense.

daa dee dum

2005-08-09T03:14:00.000-07:00

ahh.. been feeling kinda sad these days.. sobs.. there seems to be many qns popping out in my head.. and i dunno how to answer them.. been asking some friends abt some stupid problems too.. lolx.. sorry for disturbing you guys! i'm such a weak-hearted moron that i can't even handle my own problems.. argh! HOW PATHETIC! =(

casting that aside, had an angklung senior's farewell on saturday at es teler. din really enjoy myself due to some problems, both because of the admin stuff with the es teler stuff and also bcos some seniors don't look like they're enjoying themselves and i dunno wad to do.. =( sigh. but i do enjoy the last part vr much!! the gifts and the taking photos portion.. hehe.. that was so fun.. jieying and constance must upload the photos asap k! thankss! =)

oh, and i bought a new book shelf today at courts! soo happie.. hehe.. it was pretty heavy though.. wad nonsense.. it was supposed to be only 20 kg.. and divided by 2 (cos my dad was helping me), it should only be 10 kg. but my poor hands were like trembling all the way..... for like 5 hrs even after i reach my house and put the thing down.. boo00oo!

erm yah, i guess that would be all for now.. lolx.. din really haf anything nice to blog abt.. so might as well dun blog rite? din want to sound like i'm such an unhappy person.. hehe.. but wad's wif the unhappiness though? ugh..

wait. i think deep down i know why. but i don't dare to accept it. i don't want to admit that this silly thing is wad haf been keeping me unhappy and anti-social. i'm not such a weakling. i'll manage this just right. i'll be okay.

i guess at the end of the day, everyone's no. 1 fear is rejection and everyone's no. 1 need is acceptance. [okay, more like mine]

thankewW! =)

silence?

2005-07-22T05:41:00.000-07:00

the teacher enters the clasroom, sits down, doesn't say anything. he looks at us, we look at him. at first, there are a few giggles, but he only shrugs, and eventually a deep silence falls and we begin to notice the smallest sounds, the radiator humming in the corner of the room, the nasal breathing of one of the fat students.

some of us are agitated. when is he going to say something? we squirm, check our watches. a few students look out the window, trying to be above it all. this goes on a good fifteen minutes, before he finally breaks in with a whisper.

"what's happening here?" he asks.

and slowly a discussion begins - as he has wanted all along - about the effect of silence on human relations. why are we embarrassed by silence? what comfort do we find in all the noise?

okie, does that sound weird? hahax.. i was just wondering.. sometimes when people are together, does that necessarily mean that conversations have to take place? so if there's nothing worthy mentioning, should we still mention it? what's the purpose? but yet the silence do gets to us huh.. we feel weird and stuff.. why though?

oh well moving on.. i realise that maybe i'm not really like normal gurls? i can't really seem to stand girls giggling on and on.. although i'm supposed to i guess? since i'm also a gurl.. and i probably do giggle too once in a while.. hmm.. how leh? =(

life has been pretty dull these days.. i always seem to be tired and thirsty all the time.. ugh.. can't stand myself.. why do i seem to be lethargic all the time? is it the lack of sleep? [since i'm reading harry potter book everyday before i go to sleep.. lolx.] or is it just cos of dat one other reason that i can't even mention? i seem to be constantly lying to myself these days.. is it worth the effort? but how else would i survive?

argh! okie, *indo mode on*! those who don't understand can just ignore this portion.. hehe.. sorry!

iy neh.. lg sdh and depresi gt.. lg pengen pergi jalan-jalan ama nopie and orang-orang indo laen macemmya si rudy, ferro, andrew, etc.. tapi orang-orang lg sibuk gt.. hiks.. y gpp seh.. gw ngerti jg.. susah yah emang.. beda kelas and stuff.. mao komunikasi jg susah.. =( tapi tadi abis skul ngobrol panjang lebar gt ama nopie.. seru bngt.. hehe.. ud lama ga ngobrol.. tiba-tiba jadi seneng lg deh.. =) thanks yah mba! gw jd sedikit terhibur gt.. yah okie d, tahan-tahan aja.. tunggu liburan desember.. ntar abis promos mestinya ada bnyk opportunity buat jalan-jalan.. rencana nopie mao ke KL kalo bs jalan gw seneng bngt.. mudah2an dikasih ama bonyok d.. hehe.. =]

2005-07-17T04:48:00.000-07:00

y0 peeps! hmm, this week i missed my weekly friday blogging session.. had a 3-hour-long oral workshop on friday and when i went home, it was like 7.30 pm and i was so dead tired dat i need to take a LITTLE nap.. but erm, turn out dat i can't seem to wake up after dat.. lolx.. so i ended up sleeping until saturday morning.. wad a pig huh.. -.-"

so anw, shall highlight some of the things that happen to me this week.. on thurs, nopie gave me this sheet of vr nice paper with a prayer on it.. so sweeeett of her.. **makasih berat ya mba!! gw suka bngt.. ntar kalo pulang ke indo gw laminate and gw panjang di kamar gw d.. hehe..**

and on fri, there's the stated oral workshop.. contrary to wad other people feel.. i think it's quite fun leh.. hahax.. maybe sth's wrong wif me? lolx. anw, i kinda enjoy it and some of the topics dat my classmates talk abt are so funny.. =) except erm, there was one presentation dat i din enjoy at all.. shall not elaborate on dat one.. guess those who attend the same worksop know which one i'm talking abt.. hahax.. =P

and stupid chinghow cheated. hmph. while the rest of us suffer cos of having to tok for so long, he just spoke of some lame intro and dat's it. !!!!!. he was supposed to talk abt his cca.. [which no one knows wad it is. lolx.] oh well.. some people ar.. -.-" but i really like mad's and liwen's topic of "5 things guys should do on their first date". it was so funny.. =)

sigh.. actually i've been feeling kinda down these few days.. dunno why.. PMS? hmm.. dunno also.. i've been awfully quiet and been such a boring companion.. =( i'm just... okie, i dunno. haa.. if i'm old, i would've tot dat it's menopause. lolx. hopefully i'll be my cheery self again 2mr! =)

oh and thanks hup for helping me to borrow the racial harmony costume.. hopefully i can fit into it.. hehe.. 2mr is nj's racial harmony day celebration.. hopefully it'll be fun.. can't wait! =D

i'm a failure. [okie, make that FAILURE.]

2005-07-08T06:48:00.000-07:00

okie, i seem to be blogging on a weekly basis nowadays.. lolx.. there's simply just no time to go online on weekdays! ugh. especially after the disgusting CT results.. SIGH. if i din start to work harder, i'll prob just get retained or sth.. argh.. it's so depressing!! =(

My results so far: O7 for both chemistry and physics. yucks. so much for an ex triple science student.. was quite disappointed wif myself actually.. wad the heck.. and i actually tot dat i could pass chem and get an E.. wad a fantasy. and not as if i din mug for it kaez.. okie, so it's either i'm plain stupid or my level of mugging is nowhere compared to other people's. and for now, i shall assume that the latter is true. =)

been punishing myself quite harshly recently for this failure.. stayed back with hup on thurs until like 7 sth in school doing physics of fluids tutorial.. [yepp, you can vomit.] haha.. dat makes us look so muggerish.. when in fact.. we din even get 50 for phy. sigh.

and of course, there's the fact that ALL my other indo friends are doing well for their CTs.. a lot of As and Bs here and there.. sth dat will only be an unachievable dream for me at this stage. sigh. oh well, i'll really try to work harder for promos.. dat's all i could do anyway.. =(

on a happier note, i manage to get a B for maths. yayness!!!!! finally sth dat i can be happy about. =) suddenly i love maths a lot. hahax.. okie, dat's super lame. my brain seems to be affected by all this sadness and disappointment.. x_X really feel like a failure right now.. shall end of here then. tada~

2005-07-03T10:33:00.000-07:00

[o_0] oh well, life moves on even if i fail phy anw.. so heck la. lolx.

after the ppr, realise that there is a class outing.. [!!!] wanted to go but err.. here's wad happened: the previous day, nopie msg and ask whether i want to go out after the ppr.. so i msg liwen and ask whether we [milk] are still going out as planned.. and liwen said she can't make it.. so i assume the outing is cancelled.. well, apparently it's kinda not cancelled and i know mad's pretty angry abt it.. for me to pangseh her like dat.. [to mad and hup: i'm so so sorry!! pls dun be angry kay? =)]

so, i've been on a shopping spree since thurs and spent a bomb today shopping wif my mum.. but since it's a trip wif mum.. guess who paid? lolx.. john little is having a fantastic sale btw!! bedsheets are down from $35 to $25 to $9.90 and now to $2.70. my mum bought 3 of them.. and dat only cost less than $9. WOW.. too bad there are only single, queen and king sizes.. my bed happens to be super-single size.. sigh.. oh well.. anw i bought small little pillow cases to decorate ugly pillows and decorate my room.. my room shall look way nicer in 2 weeks' time. hahax.. [i need more time to do adjustments to posters on the wall]

okie, there's angklung practice 2mr at 8.30.. so gtg rest now.. ciao~

2005-05-27T06:20:00.000-07:00

*weeEeEEeeeeE* it's friday again! last day of school some more.. soo happie! :) it has been a very hectic week so far.. i was kinda forced to withdraw from running for library exco by the angklung exco.. was told to choose between angklung and library exco.. and i chose angklung. hopefully i'm not gonna regret it later.. *sobs* well, obviously i do regret once in a while.. esp since the library seniors are all so nice to talk to and all.. SIGH. sometimes i wonder why i choose angklung? :( yes, angklung is definitely more interesting than library.. but the people in library are generally much better than those in angklung.. [not saying that angklung ppl are bad btw!!]
