CHRISTMAS EVE

2010-12-24T07:21:00.001-08:00

I wanted to blog about some happy stuffs but dad just gave me a lecture. I'm not complaining about it, because I know when people judge/criticise/scold you, they care enough to point it out to you. And as much as I really want to talk back at times, it's better to just swallow it in, nod your head, apologize and change, for the better. It's just that sometimes, I really wish people would speak the truth with love, it's not easy, but it would make a whole world of difference.

Merry christmas everyone :) It's approximately half an hour away from 251210 :) I'm down with fever, on and off, but i still managed to have some fun today with my family. We went to town for christmas shopping! :D I really enjoyed it! We haven't had so much fun for a long time! It was really some awesome family bonding. Not forgetting the day before, my family + extended family went to USS for an entire day of fun and laughter! Really cherish times like these!

As 2010 comes to an end, there's so much I want to reflect about and thank God for. I really want to bring 2010 to a proper closure. It's always good to record and remember the good and the bad that happened. I don't want to just let 2010 be another year. I'm sure it was a year of growth for not just me, but everyone. Think about the little things as well, they matter. :)

Blessed christmas!

post exams happiness! :)

Post exams can't get any better! This december has got to be one of the best decembers ever! Because it's so jammed packed with activities almost every single day! And when there's a one day break for me, it's much cherished and I love it. It's good to have some ME-TIME once a while and I get to do things that I really like, alone. For instance, watching korean dramas!!! :D Haha. I'm currently hooked onto playful kiss starring kim hyun joong! I love this drama so much, though I'm only at episode 4.

It seemed as though exams ended long ago but I just realised it was only less than 10 days since my last paper! So 2108 ended with(out) a bang. It was quite a terrible paper! But nevertheless, I was so relieved it was over, bringing another semester to an end. This sem passed faster than usual for me, I don't know why. Everything just zoomed passed as I was checking my schedule for the sem. Packed with projects, assignments, tutorials, lectures, lab sessions, meetings, hall stuffs/co/rovers, tuition, no wonder time flew by so quickly. Anyway, really thank God I made it through another sem! This sem was tougher than usual, not just because the modules are harder, but I had to do most of them on my own, without relying on my senior's help. But God is AWESOME, He really blessed me with helpful friends around, helping me survive modules like, programming. It was initially a struggle but everything worked out and unfolded nicely. Praise the Lord!

After exam, sissy and I chionged to clementi to buy KOI :) And we ate at the hawker nearby caused we were starving by then since our paper was from 1-3pm. Then it was followed by shopping in town and we got some really nice stuffs :) We're into undies suddenly. ROFL! Moving on. Three days of first aid course at St John's with Rovers! :) Having to wake up at 7am everyday and travel all the way to Lavender from nus. It was super far but the course really bonded the comm. It was all worth it! Besides, I managed to catch harry potter and even queued for free starbucks after our course! :) And, our instructor was quite funny-Mr chua hum sup! He was really very hum sup! Even the guys got scared of him. We also went for student leaders networking session at helipad :) Typical kiasu singaporeans chionging for the food and we were all real full! Drank shots for the first time (it was supposed to be an initiation for the comm) and then hung out at yellojello. Alcohol and chickenwings and htht (htht damn fail though, it was so noisy, I could hardly hear a thing). Comm trek briefing the next day and I moved on of hall that day as well! Will be missing my neighbours the entire month <3

Cell group on monday! :) I'm really happy to be seeing everyone again!! It has been so long!!! :) :) Really glad how they still welcome me with open arms despite disappearing for so long! <3 And it made me think a lot. Comm trek from tuesday to wednesday and WE CONQUERED DATUK!!!! :D I'm so proud of us!!!!!! Now I'm suffering from the after effects of trekking. My entire body is aching especially my shoulders (cause of bags were damn heavy) and a lot of mosquito bites (i'm scratching non-stop!). But it was mad fun! :D :D My first time climbing a mountain and the view from the top makes it all worthwhile!!! We really felt like dying on the way up and our only source of motivation was the pasta and all sorts of yummy snacks we brought along! Getting really close with nature (minus the huge insects) felt really awesome! Our alternative dinner was good (because we couldn't start a fire so bo bian, no pasta). Sleeping on the super hard and UNEVEN ground was so terrible but I still slept (and kept waking up cause it was SO COLD). Bathing in the waterfall was an experience like no other. The water was like slapping me right in the back. Damn painful but shiokkk! :D And we ate like hungry pigs after that followed by shopping at city square! :) Comm trek is much loveee!

Week12

2010-11-02T20:40:00.000-07:00

Just realised my last entry was about recess week but it's already week12, one and a half more weeks to reading week! That's how fast time flies. So I'm here to complain about how terrible programming has been for me because I'm in the midst of doing my programming project and I feel so hopeless every time I stare at the codes. After this module I really have utmost respect for programming majors. Seriously, how do they have so much logic, to churn out huge chunks of codes! :O I'm so amazed okay. As for me, I'm so freaking noob at programming I have this terrible feeling about finals, and it so happened that I have numerical analysis on that day as well. Good job audrey and Good luck!

Today's my free day! But I'm stuck in my room trying to figure out these codes. Bisection method, newton method, secant method and the list goes on. Somehow I'm coping with this stress better than two weeks ago when I had another programming project, term paper and assignments all due on the same week. No wonder I lost my sanity. I was almost frowning every single day and every night I would be whining and saying all sorts of negative things. My neighbours can attest to that!

What happened in the previous weeks?

We played pink and blue again! :) Got dragged to sixth floor again and got zham by the guys with all sorts of disgusting stuffs. The girls were more enthu and stronger this year, haha, we did awesome! :) MAF with sheares hall was fun too! All the pulling, screaming and yummy mooncakes made MAF a memorable one! Birthday celebration with awesome friends was great too, not forgetting this year's bday date was so cool 101010 :) LOVES IT ttm! And we just had night cycling last friday! We took a different route this year and I was extremely happy to see graduated seniors come back and even friends who left hall but came back for this event! It was so much fun cycling,talking, playing our hearts out at the playground, singing songs(our singing fail though) and having supper! :D The highlight was definitely the time when we cycled in the rain as it started raining about 6am. The poncho, the blurred vision, the splashing through puddles and dudu falling into the drain etc makes giving up my sleep the entire night worth it! And I suffered from terrible after effects after night cycling i.e. sleeping through lectures on monday morning :O

Okay, enough update! Back to project! Around 2 weeks to EXAMS!

in love with RECESS

2010-09-24T23:20:00.000-07:00

Recess week has been awesome though I know I complain a lot about having too much to do during this one week break but nonetheless, I'm very thankful for a short break like this. Makes me feel as though I've escaped this town (aka nus) for a little while. :) -Rejoices-

Last saturday was heaps of fun at kahyan's 21st! :D Awesome place to chill but there should be more lights! We were perpectually having fun in the dark and my poor dslr is dying because I overused its flash! >:( But still, it was really fun being the photographer of the night and meeting up with old friends and of course, being there for sissychong's important ageing day! Can't believe we're all growing up so quickly!

So I spent most of my week at home :) Mugging, writing presentation speech, doing up my cheat sheets, chionging tutorials, trying to figure out my programming tutorial (still stuck, FML) & getting assignments done! Apart from these academic stuffs, I managed to hang out with lentorians + chris at chomp chomp for supper! :D I also managed to wake up real early on wednesday to send joseph off at the airport :) Followed by a super shiok meal at The Hand Burger with ABC and extremely gao dessert drinks at once upon a milkshake! :) Life is really finger lickin' good! :)

Headed back to school a few times for rovers meetings and project meetings and stayed over on thursday and friday! :) Mooncake supper last night at the roof top was really spontaneous and fun! Much love!!

My to do list is still long and never ending! But I'm glad whatever I told myself I would accomplish at the end of the day, I usually manage to complete it. (I try not to set unrealistic goals knowing my studying pace and standard -.-) Really glad that seniors far far farrrrrr away even bothered helping me solve my problems too! The power of facebook and msn! :D Thumbs up for technology!

Next week is gonna be BUSY! With comm interviews, meetings, midterms and presentations! We can do it!

Hello everyone, it's week four already. This week is probably one of my most boring and sad week though I survived through an eight hour long lessons day on monday, ended up with fever after that which resulted in me missing ibg volleyball. But I also experienced third floor's loveee by my wonderful neighbours! :) Dudu who gave me xiaodan's blanket, trying to make me sweat it out but I felt as though I was dying of heatstroke. Xd and Qx boiling some cooling drink for me. Kaylene packed dinner for me from the dining hall. Panadol from ziyi. Hot and yummy holicks from mann and the rest of the neighbours for popping in randomly and asking me if I was okay and told me to get well soon. TYVM! Managed to cool down and I was able to play volleyball the next day, though most of the balls are not hit by me, haha! Went to west coast to check out the area for initiation. On wednesday I headed to UHC to see the doctor and guess what, I was right, I was down with head foot mouth disease and got a week's worth of MC to isolate myself at home. I was very upset, and still is now, because I missed initiation, which consist of us seniors bringing our mortals through a series of fun stuffs at west coast play ground, lighting up of the pretty 'A' sign with sparkles, zhamming floor on the freshies' faces, singing of the A blk song, indulging in yummy food prepared by every floor's seniors, meeting the A blk lao langs and feeling the loveee :(((( I was really very sad la. Because it was something I looked forward to, something that meant quite a lot to me. Besides, it's the very last event ABC planned together before we step down next thursday. Who would be able to understand how sad I was that day. I also missed Gala dinner on friday. Shall not go on about how upset I am not being able to dress up as scrubs and watch yijing win pageant! I was prepared to spam lots of photos and take picture with friends dressed up funnily! They'll definitely amuse me ten years down the road when I look at the photos again. Ah wells. I'll be missing church again tomorrow :( I really can't wait for this to be over! I want to be well, NOW!

Hello sophomore year!

2010-08-08T19:24:00.000-07:00

Goodbye to being a freshie, it's time to rise up and be a senior! I've got mixed feelings about being a senior, both excited and afraid. I guess it's the responsibilities that comes along. It's the time of the year I ask myself, "so what's next?"

It has been a crazy two weeks. Physically and mentally draining but I made new friends, had my own share of fun and had a teeny weeny bit of experience of what it was like to be a senior. :) Started off with FWOC where the freshies entered hall for the first time. I remembered seniors screaming "freshie!!" whenever we see a freshie alighting from a taxi/car. We carried their bags, brought them through the various booths in the mpsh and brought them to their rooms to clean up. Hall orientation games, pool games, SRC games were fun! :) Not forgetting the highlighted game of every FWOC was the dating game. Had a damn memorable experience as a senior, cause we get to be dated hence enjoying all the good things that come our way when any freshie tries their best to date us. Apart from all the unnecessary attention, I really enjoyed it because I had (traumatising) public performances, my door was nicely decorated, I got letters/gifts daily and suppers prepared for me. How awesome! But also, I felt really bad for not doing as much as they did for me. Anyway, we'll be having formal dinner on tuesday followed by the last airbender together as a hall :) I somehow miss my own dating game experience last year, and I do miss my mr bean lookalike date! Hahaha.

FWOC wasn't all easy. Apart from all the fun, the fwoc-ers sacrificed three months of their precious holidays to get these all planned out properly for the freshies. As a senior, we try our best to assist them in any way we could. As a senior, I finally understood how easy it was being a freshie and how tough it was when seniors had to do all the behind the scene work like going off slightly earlier before every meal just to lay out all the food for a few hundred hall residents, filling up water for the freshies, making sure that they're fine and having fun and sleeping a little because our day ends when we finished rag rush and seniors briefing at night. But it was enjoyable. :) We serve because we love the people we live with. Freshies graduation, homecoming and bbq night was memorable too and I was damn happy to see the graduated seniors come back to kr cause I miss them so much!

Flag day on tuesday and we had to get up at 0430 just had head to our respective mrt stations. Macs breakfast followed by flag collection. The morning crowd was crazy and I was so thirsty from repeating myself endlessly and I bumped into a senior working at tanjong pagar. :) After the morning rush we slept at tanjong pagar exchange till 1100 and continued flag collection till 1400. By then we were all drained. Headed to dhoby ghaut to get brownies for our dates and headed to vivo to meet the other groups for street dance! :) Most of us were dozing off during the movie. Haha. Block supper at night which was pretty enjoyable! :D

Signed up as rag helper again this year since there wasn't enough seniors. It's more fun to be a senior cause we get to eye power the freshies and give instructions to them to carry out. :D Two bump ins and we were ready to go! My group had to stay awake on thursday night 2300 to 0700 on friday morning to bring the props over to the src area and guard the props. Interacted with new freshies through games to keep us all awake. Some seniors bought for us supper yay! And the seniors got together to play r-o-c-k rock! We also talked to the raggers hence staying awake through the night wasn't a very tough job but we concussed in the mpsh once we laid on the floor. Slept for a couple of hours and headed to the src for rag day! :) 3 times defending champions of the chancellor shield and oh my we got damn high!!! Endless cheering and photo taking after that. Master even ordered macs for supper for everyone! :D It was a crazy night and I haven't felt so touched and happy in a while. It's those kind of happiness from the inside out when you see how much effort the raggers put in, how much passion they have and how supportive the entire hall is, you just can't help but feel something.

It's national day today, meaning school starts tomorrow. Ohhh myyyy..! Lots of packing to do and buying of necessities before heading back to hall tonight and an exciting sem awaits! :)

experienced more love than ever this week

2010-07-26T19:17:00.000-07:00

Work ended last wednesday and I didn't want to waste anytime so I met up with friends on thursday and friday. Was really happy meeting different groups of people, catching up on our different lives. :) It amazes me a lot when we still have so much to talk about despite not seeing each other for an uber long time. I cherish friendships like these. Thank God!

Anyway, it has been a crazy emotional roller coaster ride for my family and I for the past one week, with mummy having to go for an operation on saturday. Never have I felt so tensed being at home, so afraid I would say the wrong stuffs or do things that will make them upset or angry. And never have I felt so helpless before. But thank God for everyone's concern and prayers (yes prayers especially). Mummy's cyst has been confirmed malignant and hence she got to keep both her ovaries (though one of it has got 30% of it removed) and womb. There was a breakthrough in my family as well such as daddy leading us into prayer, mummy praising the Lord and I prayed for mummy! It's as though the entire family is coming back to the Lord and God showed me that he could do so much more than I asked. Thank God for nina and sijia too, for coming down to stay throughout while my mum was in the operating theatre. It really distracted me quite a bit and thank God for the peace that I felt within. I was quite certain that everything will turn out fine. :) Thank God for my cell group as well. Really really touched that they came over and prayed for my mummy! Also thank God for friends like stella chua who sent a hamper over to the hospital! :D It's very nicely wrapped and all those who sent your regards to my mum. (gan dong ttm)

I'm so amazed and touched by the power of the Lord and I can only say that I stand in awe of You. I'm very thankful for this incident, seems like a blessing in disguise. I'm also glad that everything's back to normal and my family grew a lot closer through this. And I learnt that no matter what happens, our families will ALWAYS be there for us. It's just amazing.

My heart has an unspeakable joy!

SUMMER BREAK ALMOST COMING TO AN END

2010-07-20T06:55:00.000-07:00

WOW. I wonder where my holidays went to you know. It's been so fun this summer and there wasn't a time for me to feel bored at all. I'm enjoying it, even though I get so burned out sometimes. I really like the feeling of being tired every fibre of my being and then collapsing on my bed at night and dozing off the next minute. I feel fulfilled. Haha.

Anyway, what I've been up to recently!

1)RAC with my dear RINOA friends. So happy that the six of us came back as seniors and had so much fun with the freshies! Our freshies are an amazing bunch of people as well. The guys are.. crazyyy! Hahaha. But it was really fun, from station games around NUS to amazing race to pitching of tents are ecp, night cycling, bathing out in the cold, water rafting, chalet at changi, bbq night, SP nights (which was so fun I absolutely loved all the disturbing), trekking at pulau ubin, games at ubin, zichar with seniors, campfire night (the rain didn't stop us from having fun), the walk of faith, talking through the night and playing games and dozing off in the cab on the way home.

This is probably one of the games that I was most excited for. From the moment we signed up together, I knew it was going to be lots of fun and was really looking forward to it. Thank God for this experience because I got to know more people around school and you know, stepping up as seniors is a brand new experience for all of us, maybe minus uncle ronald, but yeah, I'm so glad we supported each other and had the time of our lives! I know we'll be friends for a long time. :)

2)SWOC

It was damn crazy when I had to dump my dirty bag after RAC and had two hours of sleep before chionging off to hall for SWOC. I almost wanted to die. I felt sooooo sleepy. But somehow still managed to survive through briefing for seniors and even went for supper! :D And I was made wake up IC. Hahaha. I was damn scared I couldn't wake up because I was super tired from RAC. Nevertheless, pool games and SRC games were fun! Though I stoned for quite a while and took a short nap while waiting for dinner to be ready. I was reallyyyy happy that the seniors popped by. I missed them so much :( Second day of station games were way better! I enjoyed it so much and I swear, mass dance is gonna be so fun this year! Love the choreo and music! :) Easy and fun! I think the objectives of mass dance are met! :D Yay!

3)WORK

Life as a telemarketer isn't that awesome but my wonderful friends made it all better! Attempted street survey (which we failed terribly and ended up shopping at vivo/having lunch in sch). We even extended our working hours till 6pm so that we can earn a little more money. More money means more shopping you see! :D So we tried recruiting and sales. :) Tmrw's our last day at work, I'm gonna bring my dslr! Take pretty pics of colleagues and friends. Really thankful for the job despite some unhappiness :)

4)BLOCK COMM

Working full force in hall every monday because the new sem is starting and orientation is drawing nearer. There's so much to do. We literally camp in hall the entire day (besides heading out for lunch/getting materials at clementi). But I really enjoy doing stuffs with ABC and for the block. I think it's gonna be worth it! It is. Besides, it's not all work, we even celebrated birthdays for dear friends. Dinner + celebration + all the laughter, makes me feel that being in ABC was the best decision I made in hall. :) I'll be moving back next tuesday and fwoc officially starts next wed. :) DAMN EXCITED NOW! Hahaha.

I've been buying so much stuffs online. SHUCKS.

greatttt catch up!

2010-06-17T09:05:00.000-07:00

I'm glad to have true friends that genuinely care for me, those whom I know I can still share my life with and who will really stick by me for a lifetime. I really cherish friendships like this. And I'm extremely thankful for them. We don't really need a lot to be happy. :)

to live simply

2010-06-16T01:48:00.000-07:00

I wish things were as simple as they were in the past, when we were still so young and innocent! I really miss it you know. As we grow up, I realised we think too much, get too self conscience, we get more worldly, our desires change, we no longer think simply, live simply. Where did all that go man. Haha it really struck me cause I was talking to stella a few days back about primary & secondary school. It made me realised how happy we were last time. Not that I'm not happy now, but we didn't really have any worries then. Awesome man. :)

SICK

2010-06-14T07:34:00.001-07:00

Whenever I fall sick, it always get me thinking, thinking if there's something about my life that I need to change. Maybe it's the pace or some habit that I never thought would have affected my health or life. I don't like to be sick, but I like it sometimes because it's finally time for me to truly rest. :) Besides, it's off day today! And tmrw's payday! Damn excited! BAGS OF GOLD, COME ROLLING IN YO! Haha. I've been waiting for this day for an uber long time and it's finally here! Allowance for the holidays! REJOICEEEEEE!! :D

everybody clap clap clap!

2010-06-12T08:47:00.000-07:00

HELLO :) Work has been okay so far, with lunch being the only motivating factor for us-grace, stella and I especially. Instead of making cold calls, we'll self declare break time for ourselves and start gossiping and discussing what we should eat for lunch. Cold calling has been pretty bad these days largely due to the fact that our boss passed us new lists to call and we're now targeting 1980 babies, hello, they're already 30 years old. It's not easy to persuade 30 year olds to switch their careers. Not easy. Anyway, I'm very thankful for my friends and not forgetting you, chong kahyan for making life at prudential a lot more bearable and fun! Especially when we burst into laughter and it caused me to laugh so much that I ended up slamming so many phone calls. How rude! HAHA.

Went for dinner with family to celebrate my aunt's birthday. It's been so long since our family ate out in a large group. I really enjoyed myself and we camwhored! Including my grandma! HAHA. So kewt please! Been driving a lot recently too, which is something I'm proud of. Haha. At least I'm polishing my driving skills so my friends you can stop laughing at me. I just got back from rovers seniors camp this week, been so long since and saw my rovers buddies! :) I miss them much much! And the guys are still extremely crazy. Instead of drinking, we ate chilli, htht-ed at burger king and then moved over to macs, had supper, slept in the same tent which was quite an experience (hard ground, mosquitos etcetc), tested out all the games (which reminds me of us as freshies! :D), and a lot more. I enjoyed myself a lot! :D And I'm looking forward to next week's flag painting and making of og identities. It'll be fun. Let's look forward to the actual camp! :D Those who didnt sign up as seniors, you guys were missed as well, really really.

World cup has started! Caught south africa vs mexico last night though I was damn tired from work and still had work the very next day. Missed the next few matches. :( I'm torn between a good night sleep and waking up at 230am to catch dear dear england vs USA. Shall set my alarm and SEE HOW. :) I love worldcup! It never fails to make me excited! OKKKK i'm off to bed! A long day ahead tmrw :)

2010-06-03T17:05:00.000-07:00

HAHA

breathe in breathe out it's gd to be alive

2010-05-31T06:35:00.000-07:00

UPDATES! :D

Camp blueblood was fun! :D LOVES IT! I've never been to cbb as a freshie so it was really an eye opening experience for me as a senior. Being a senior meant that I hard to pay attention during briefings and debriefs, I had to care and look out for the campers, get along well with the seniors so we can be enthu and keep the spirits up during the camp, it also meant that I had to sleep late, wake up early, and basically let the campers feel as if they're part of this big awesome family. You know I really dislike being a senior, I see myself doing extremely well as a freshie, asking stupid things like what is this, what is that, and waiting for the seniors to answer all my questions and help me along. So during the camp, I really had to step out of my comfort zone. But it was great isn't it? I enjoyed the SP nights especially! It was damn fun making fun of the campers, putting peanut butter all over their hands and faces, making them sing love songs to each other, going through various obstacle courses blind folded, singing baby baby baby oh~ into their ears, forcing them to talk, hold each other, take silly shots together. Was wayyyyyy fun! I laughed so much during the SP games. Anyway, I'm really glad I got to know the seniors and campers better even though I got sunburnt and various muscle aches. It was so worth it. And when the seniors could join in for some games eg the dragon game, we really played our hearts out, transforming into really chor lor girls! Who cares about image right, fun always come first!

thanks for being part of my life

2010-05-22T09:47:00.000-07:00

My mum has been really nice to me these days, in terms of giving me a little more freedom. I got to eat out (ie skip dinner with family) twice this week and hence I had a chance to hang out with fellow A blockers at minds cafe, playing all sorts of crazy mindless games and screaming so loudly for many many hours that I had a terrible hurting throat after we ended. I also got to meet up with ABC today at serangoon gardens. Borsch and frolick FTW :) But nothing beats the company. So tammy and ziyi, you guys are missed :( Anyway, we bumped into peiwen as well. So glad to see her! :) Also, I managed to get a job at prudential and started work on thursday. Grace and I went job hunting on wednesday, covering different areas of singapore, like, tiong bahru etcetc and all thanks to sissychong we got this telemarketing job. It's not that fun but grace is damn funny, so it makes work a lot better and more fun :D And sissychong has a group of intern friends, and we go for lunch tgt. Really give thanks!

Dad also got me an iphone this week, which turned my depressing day into an extremely happy one! Managed to exercise after work and catch my daily dose of YLBFB, so life is really awesome now. I like it that way, even though I know everyone's dedicated and so busy with hall stuffs and I'm here, slacking away, but I do like my life right now. At least I'm away from the late night meetings and work. :D

YAY!

Upcoming events:
Sun-GDOP, Mon-work&CBB day 0 (i'll be back in hall), Tues to Thurs-CBB, Fri-Work & cell retreat, Sat to Sun-Cell retreat!
Seeya folks! HAVE A GREAT WEEK AHEAD!

drama maniac

2010-05-21T18:15:00.000-07:00

Summer break has been really good! I've gotten a part time job at prudential and started work two days ago. Though, I'm not extremely happy about cold calling but I guess having grace and kahyan around makes life in the office less miserable. :) In fact, I think it's so fun working together with friends! On top of that we only have to work from 10am-3pm. Anyway, I completed two dramas so far, 1)Hai pai tian xin & 2)Jiu xiang lai zhe ni

And ystd's last few episodes of jiu xiang lai zhe ni made me feel like this(look below) cause I was touched. But it's not those I'm sad that's why I cry but more like I'm happy for them that's why I cry. Haha. Okay, ABC dinner tonight I can't wait to see everyone!

time well spent!

2010-05-17T21:01:00.000-07:00

Been meeting up with different groups of friends over the past week and I'm glad we did some catching up! :) Ystd we had seniors gathering and i was initially quite afraid we'll have awkward silence, after all we haven't met up for at least 8 months or so but everything went fine, actually quite awesome. Sometimes I think we worry too much, we just have to be brave and do it! Things will work out. And I'm very excited for pre-camp in a few weeks time and the actual camp. It's gonna be exciting! Anyway, these guys are really the first batch of uni friends I made before school started last year so they mean a lot. :)

I've been listening to so many songs these days. Like while driving, I'll be taking note of songs that I like then youtube-ing them and watching all sorts of things that's related. Not forgetting my daily dose of YLBFB. HAHA. And I've been driving a lot more! Yay! I feel so accomplished driving my parents to the theatres for movie, then picking them up again. And ystd I drove my family and grandparents to orchard for lunch, and back home. Time well spent with loved ones truly makes you feel happy, even though driving really drains me out a lot.

I'm gonna send in my resume soon, hopefully I can get some holiday assignments since it's almost impossible for me to commit to any sort of work during these 3 months.

MINDSCAFE LATER! :D Woohoo

what are your plans this summer?

2010-05-10T21:46:00.000-07:00

SECOND DAY OF HOLS! i'm still lovin' it!

I enjoy the fact that I do not have to set my alarm clock at 8.15am and be done with breakfast by 9am, after which I will head to biz library to get my lecture notes and tutorials printed and then head back to hall to do a bit of work, shower up and head for my 12pm class. I really hate the morning rush especially on mondays because I stupidly balloted for two tutorials from 10-12, which resulted in me chionging my tutorials over the weekends. I'm not repeating that mistake next sem. Mondays and thursdays are usually happy days cause I end at 4pm while tuesdays and fridays aren't that awesome because I have eight hours to class straight with an hour break somewhere in between. By the time I get back to hall it would have been 8 plus. Not forgetting the busy night life in hall. I'll either be busy with duties/meetings/events to take part in/preparation for events. Nights like these always make me feel as though I'm neglecting my studies so much but I'm quite thankful for it cause it makes me do my work faster, make sure I unstd once and for all, seize every minute that I have available to get some work done. And I usually get to bathe at midnight or later. Plop down on my bed at 3-4am. Usually 3am la. And the cycle repeats itself.

I guess that's why I don't really feel like looking for a job this summer, though I really don't mind a part time one. I'm just tired of this busy life. I just want some ME-time! :) I haven't been doing things that I like in a long while. And I really found so much joy in doing farewell cards for thye heng and xiao bai last weekend without any pressure and going, "oh shyt I've got no time!". And I really like it when every sunday night I don't have to keep looking at my clock and rush out of the house at 8plus9 to hurry back to hall for my meeting at 10pm. Like what I told some friends, I want to rejuvenate myself this holiday and probably discover if I want to move back to hall next sem.

Anyway happy thing! Ystd I met up with kahyan for popeyes and shopping! We are such budget queens but it was really fun cause I haven't been to town for agesssss!!! :) And I went for cell in the evening. I miss having dinner at ming's house! It's always so nice, maybe it's the company! :)

THINGS TO DO THIS HOL:
#1 camp blueblood
#2 church uni camp
#3 rovers camp
#4 SWOC
#5 FWOC
and prep camps + seniors gathering here and there. 5 camps this holidays should be enough to keep me busy isn't it? And dear friends, let's meet up before the sem starts and our nightmare begins all over again! :D not forgetting, results will be out on the 31st. OH MY TIAN!

hello summer!

2010-05-09T05:29:00.000-07:00

HELLO SUMMER! :) Bring in the sunshine!

I've got so much to blog about, from killer exams to post exam fun to moving back home. There's so much to say and reflect about. Guess I'll do it once I finish my show, just twooooo more episodes to go!! For now, HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to all the wonderful mothers in the world!

TIRED

2010-05-02T19:01:00.000-07:00

I feel so tired even though I just woke up not too long ago! But I had an AWESOME breakfast! Macs! :D It's good to have a neighbour like xioa! :D You benefit a lot, and I get to skip hall breakfast and wake up a little later. I wanna do one past year paper before my paper at 5pm. And I'm so jealous that most of my friends have ended or are ending in less than an hour's time. You guys are so lucky!

3 down

2010-04-30T21:14:00.000-07:00

I'm so thankful I've passed the halfway mark and there's just two more papers left next week (mon and tues). SUMMER IS ALMOST HERE! Yay! :D Though I always complain how stressful and how sucky my modules are and how boring/tiring it can get studying them, i enjoy it! Though my grades may not be that fantastic, I'm glad I haven't gotten so sick and tired of my major and that bit of passion is still there, which i think is important. I'm also really glad that despite getting zham-ed so badly by each paper, I can still smile and be happy that at least, it's over and hope for the best! Anyway, there's no point crying over spilt milk. We're given one sem to master that mod (even though it's not a lot of time, coupled with a whole string of activities throughout the sem), so if you're doing some last minute mugging, you can't really blame anyone but yourself. This sem is definitely better (not sure in terms of grades) but I'm definitely less kanchiong. :)

I kinda dread next week, even though I want my papers to end so badly so I can carry out the never ending list of to-dos and just enjoy the long awaited three months break, but it's because next week is our last week in hall ( and also as a freshie). Somehow this means a lot to me. I'm really really going to miss the FYFs so much and what will our block be like without them. :( I'm so used to their presence and they're the ones that make me feel so attached to the block. And for those who are leaving, you can bet I'll miss you guys so much, whether you guys are year one, two or three. Let's hope the week passes by REALLYYY SLOWLYYYYY k. I don't want to start packing and be away from A319 for a long long time.

Sometimes you just have to hold your head up high, blink away the tears and say goodbye.

there is still fun in the midst of stress

2010-04-24T10:55:00.000-07:00

READING WEEK was spent in hall mugging cause all my books are there and it's easier for me to concentrate in hall. I don't get tempted by my bed you see. Anyway, my breakfast club gang has become my lunch club gang as well. We usually lunch at biz canteen. I spent one day camping in central library with sijia as well and had two cups of ice lemon tea, famous at the deck! Loves it ttm! Eating makes me happy! :) Think i need to exercise a lot this holiday. Anyway, besides that, third floor girls decided to go to holland v for dinner and chill! We need a break from all the mugging sometimes. Crystal jade xiaolongbaos were to die for while haiching and i really died while eating some extremely spicy bowl of noodles. So loser-ish right. Then we had desserts and fries at everything with fries!! :) AWESOME stuff! I want to head back to holland v again! :D Here are some photos and more on fb!:)

My exams officially start on tuesday I feel so stressed out by 2101! KILL ME! I'll be really really glad if i can pass that mod. And I should really get started on gene and soc and my gem! Stop neglecting them :(

Drawing strength from the Lord!

i'm loving angels instead

2010-04-17T17:19:00.001-07:00

LOVE YOU ALL!

the last of everything

2010-04-11T19:59:00.001-07:00

Week 13 marks the last week of school, (reading week not counted) :( It also marks the last week I'll truly enjoy the company of my hall friends. Tonight we'll be having our last block meeting, tmrw night our last hall event and wed night will be our last block event of academic year 09/10. :( It's probably the last time I'll be doing such stuffs cause the probability of me not staying on is relatively high and besides, people come and go, things won't be the same next sem. I'm so going to miss everyone!

And I'll taste every moment and live it out loud

2010-04-07T21:03:00.000-07:00

Week 12 is yet another busy one! But I'm cherishing all these last moments in hall, who knows whether I'll be back during the next academic year. :D Anyway, monday was spent filming epic videos for command. We spent the entire night filming. Went for dance uncensored with the block at UCC after class. Had to rush like mad because we wanted to make sure our tickets weren't given to others. :D It was awesome! And I had so much fun laughing at some dance items. Continued filming command videos last night. NGs are especially funny! :D I think we're not cut out to be actors and actresses la. I skipped class today cause I'm gonna camp in my room to mug full force (after i finish this entry). Tonight's another busy night with meeting during dinner and command to prepare for. Yet I think it's all worth it because these people mean a lot to me. :) Dudu and I spent our tues night sabo-ing joseph on facebook and I laughed until my stomach was so painful. Then was htht with joseph and dudu till 4am, we haven't done that in the longest time and I'm so glad we did it. I'm so happy I got to eat my favourite beehoon at the deck on wed with dudu after which we went to collect our brownies from central forum :D I missed xiaolongbao buffet with bizcommers :(((( But sometimes we need to give up some stuffs to accomplish others. I just hope they remember to tag me on a xiaolongbao! That'll be good enough :D Hahaha.

Anyone can easily walk away from somebody else.
Nobody is forced to stay; we all have choices.
The real test is if someone would rather stay with you,
even though walking away could be so much easier.

renewed hope!

2010-04-02T18:31:00.001-07:00

I'm so mean, evil and sadistic in my dreams! I can't believe it. Hahaha. Anyway, they're just dreams la, I guess I was just curious that's why I did those things.

Okay, moving on. Good friday was really good! :) Even though I only did four maths prob the entire day I really think my good friday was well spent! I'm so happy to see the cell!! :D And God ministered to me and renewed my hope in Him! :D

Today will be another great day, with nusco agm later, jiayou for all those who are running! But for now, it's back to my gene and society essay! I'm looking forward to dance uncensored this monday! :D Why are we so lucky man :)

Eventful night!

2010-03-31T20:27:00.000-07:00

I'm going home later after 1104 lecture woohoo :D the weather is so awesome I don't even feel like stepping out of my room. I feel like ponning 1104 lecture cause there's webcast but too bad I'm all changed and ready to go. I was so unproductive this morning :( I just want to sleep sleep sleep! Anyway ystd block meeting cum ice-cream supper was fun :D And i spilt all the colourful thingy all over the place awesomezxz so we ended up having to clean up the entire rooftop with water. Ystd night was really an eventful night! A block had an hour plus of power failure and it was really a great chance for everyone to bond, even the phantom kings and queens appeared out of no where. Gilbert kept saying he take his hat off for ABC, HAHA, I swear it wasn't planned nor was it an April fool joke! I myself thought someone purposely switched off my lights while I was trying to studying. Haha. So it was some sort like a fright night ystd. Some people continued showering in the dark, which I thought was hilarious. How could you bathe in the dark? While some girls freaked out. Some of us even attempted to study using the emergency lights. HAHA so fun :) Okay I'm off for class! FOCUS! Exams are in three weeks time, ahhhh.

come on paint me a rainbow so i can follow it

2010-03-30T21:30:00.000-07:00

MIDWEEK AGAIN :D And it's my free day! Yay! Just got back from S14 after submitting my assignment! Two assignments down this week, three more to go! Come on! I can't wait for all these to pass then I can concentrate on my tutorials and final exams in approximately three weeks time. Kill me! Last weekend was great! Did nus corporate filming on saturday morning, very very veryyyy early in the morning to get to faculty of law. Had to stand under the sun for a very long time and we took four hours to take a ten second clip. -.- Anyway, napped after that before meeting sijia and friends at timbre, substation :) It was damn fun hanging out after so long! :D This week started off pretty good too with decent probability midterm grades though I know the mean is freaking high but I hope I'm average! :) God is good you know. Despite feeling lousy all the time, God actually surprised me :) Yay. Macs for lunch with jieying and dudu was superrrr shiok too! :D Haven't had lunch with them for the longest time. Met sijia and company again for mr bean's green tea ice-cream at NUH :) It's great that we're all in science, makes life easier for everyone! And we attempted to find the nursery cause we wanted to see the babies! But got lost because someone gave us wrong directions. HAHAHA. Okay block meeting tonight and supper :D Let's mug away!

coffee and tea please!

2010-03-24T19:00:00.000-07:00

It's thursday already/again/so soon?!?!?!

I went home on tues night cause I was partially homesick and I know I should be a good daughter and spend more time with my family cause last week I spent less than 24hours back at home. I don't wanna treat my home like a hotel, just going back for a good night's sleep with the awesome invention, the aircon. :) Not very productive at home but I'm almost catching up with this whatever work that I'm lagging with, hopefully i'll be able to finish tutorial 8 for probability by tonight! :)

I'm so tired cause I only had four hours of sleep. Was doing biz comm claims till 3plus then talked to sir goh for a while :) I enjoy sharing my day or things/incidents/people who I thought are funny. :) And I'm glad some people actually bother listening to me. Thank God! Think I'll go nap for a while before heading for class, not forgetting I've got to meet pamela and benjamin to get and pass the forms. Lots of admin stuffs to settle for orientation camp but it'll be worth it, I hope!

I'm really looking forward to hall prod this friday!

Jiayou friends! You guys will be awesome!
:D

EXPLORE THE IMPOSSIBLE

2010-03-22T04:35:00.000-07:00

OH MY TIAN!
WEEK T-E-N!!!

:O

Where did ten weeks of schooling go to? I can't seem to remember at all. Today I attended two tutorials and 1104 lecture not understanding a single thing and even skipped gene and soc lecture, which is not surprising at all! Cheezy made my day, totally! :D Cellobass was damn meannn!! They knew I left my pencil case and file containing all my notes and tutorials in the dressing room but didn't tell me till I went over to cheezy's room to tell her. HAHAHA. I'm so so so soooooooooo glad it's found! :D I love my pencil case! :D :D Last week was crazily stressful but extremely fun! IBE was awesome! I'm so glad I volunteered to eat the watermelon cause I was very hungry and I love watermelons so it was really satisfying. Had probability midterms on sat morning, and that's one main reason why I got so stressed up. To top it all up, we had rehearsals and practices for sunday's concert. :D I did a great job in faking. I deserve a pat! HAHA. Co is fun :) I'm pretty sad I didn't cherish co days more. It's only towards concert then I started liking it and in a blink of an eye, it's overrrrr. Nevertheless I'm so happy to see grace, jieying and oba! And njco friends :) Aw, just made my monday a happy one though I went to class without doing tutorials, without a file, without my pencil case, without understanding my notes. I should be feeling all screwed up and sucky but I didn't, which really surprises me. God is amazing, i'm enjoying school life to the max! (minus the stress)

:)

I wanna try new stuffs!
Taekwondo, anyone?
:D HAHAHAHAHA.

i love the smell of rain :)

2010-03-15T04:05:00.000-07:00

THE WEATHER IS JUST AWESOME! :D At least the weather made me happy! I'm buried in my probability notes and linear algebra assignment due tomorrow and not forgetting calculus lab assignment due on wednesday. To add to my stress, I've got to travel all the way to the east to collect my co costume, do or die, I don't really know when I can find the time to do so. And I still got midterms on sat plus co rehearsals. I really want to chill and have fun with my dearest friends on wednesday night at timbre! It's sijia's birthday! I really want to enjoy their company and hopefully sijia will enjoy her birthday celebration. Howwwwww. School sucks D: And I've got a lot to overcome, especially overcoming myself! :( Need to stop crying over the same old thing, get a grip and get over it! I've got to rely on God, lean on Him for strength despite all the stress I'm facing!

learn from it of course!

2010-03-08T10:22:00.000-08:00

It's week eight everyone!!! I can't believe it! It's already march! Finals are like, NEXT MONTH! Hear that? And there's still many more crazy weeks to go due to endless activities. But still, I'm thankful for it. :) Life like this is fulfilling! :) Afterall, I might not get to try these stuffs anymore next time. I'll learn to enjoy it despite all the stress.

No idea why I got so sleepy this morning. 15minutes into probability tutorial and I started to zonk out. I wanted to sleep. Probability is very confusing, there's suddenly so many things to do just to find the probability of something and various terms like pmf, pdf, cdf etc just makes my whole world go upside down. Haha. I need to study hard for probability midterms coming up in 13days. CO concert in two weeks time as well. There's so much to do.

I'm finally done with my gene and soc brochure! :D It's quite nice I think :) Teehee. Given the fact that I'm an IT noob. My weekend was burnt trying to do my brochure and linear algebra tutorial. Sighhhhhhh. Got back results for linear algebra. I'll choose to thank God no matter what. Afterall, I'm brought to the point where I can no longer depend on myself, without God I'm nothing. I just pray for wisdom and breakthrough in my course. I don't want to let results rob away the joy of studying. That shouldn't be the case. I may be upset but it's a learning experience. I'll learn from it!

Okay 3am! Time to sleep!

breaking point

2010-03-06T09:38:00.000-08:00

The entire week was an insane one. Midterms, meetings, kr bazaar, co prac. And because of midterms I've forsaken all my tutorials and it's piling. I don't want to lag behind, not being able to understand tutorials and going crazy during lectures especially for linear algebra II. It's soooo abstract that made my friday an extremely stressful one. >:(

Co concert in two weeks, NUS open house next week and we need to start working on command soon. Not forgetting I got plenty of assignments and lab quizzes due very soon and I'm working on my gene and soc brochure now. I just realised organising the points in the simplest form so that readers without life science background can understand is tough. I'm so draineddddd. I'm so glad bazaar is over! NO MORE OVERNIGHT DUTIES AT CENTRAL FORUM!!! :D :D

Anyway, I'm very proud of my buddy, vien! :D Story of a conqueror! And thanks for all the words of affirmation. I needed them.

I want to fly!

mid-week break!

2010-03-02T17:31:00.001-08:00

It's finally wednesday! :D My mid-week break! :D

Had multivariable calculus midterm on monday and got pretty upset over it after the paper because I couldn't do at least half of it while everyone around me kept saying how alright it went for them. I shouldn't have handled things this way, I should just be glad it's over. So headed over to the deck to grab some lunch, my favourite beehoon and juice :) Met sijia too :) And I'm really thankful there are some people who really care, who bothers sending you a msg to tell you to cheer up or ask how i'm feeling and of course I'm thankful that dudu's there to listen to me complain. Haha. :) Got over it after dinner time :) Biz comm meeting after that to finalise bazaar duties etc and we bought xiaobai five chicken wings from sheares for her bday. HAHA. :D

Linear algebra test on tues and that's when my day started. It only ended at 1am and I had my lunch/dinner/supper then. Felt really really happy when sir goh cooked noodles and haiching cooked ham for me! :D Damn delicious!! I felt like some labourer at central forum carrying all the tables and chairs etc. It's for today's bazaar! But biz comm people are niceee and fun!! Had quite a lot of fun sitting in the van and I loved the cheap thrill we got from screaming while going down slopes and over humps!

Hell week isn't over yet. It just started! Time to catch up! Pull up your socks now!!
I shall go study and there's duty tonight from 12-4am! Mai tu liao!

here we go again!

2010-02-28T10:49:00.000-08:00

So today's the day!! 1104 in approximately nine hours time. I'm scared because I had bad experiences of midterms last sem. Last sem wasn't a good sem, I pray that this sem will be better! Good or bad, happy or sad, I'm leaving it to God. Dear friends, have some courage, let's be conquerors!

the fun is over

2010-02-24T18:32:00.000-08:00

DA JIA HAO! Cny cum recess week was great! :D I enjoyed myself a lot. Mahjong-ed, played bridge, snacked a lot, slept a lot more, visitations, steamboat with A block, back to nj with twin! And to top it all, Chingay parade on friday and saturday! It was really awesome! :D I enjoyed chingay on sat especially! Cause everyone was really high that day and we all wanted to end on a good note so we gave our best shot. I guess it was also because of the crowd which consisted of many kr people among them and I even managed to spot graciemoonie. How awesome is that? My eyes are sharp yo! :) Anyway, chingay was a good experience and I'm glad to say it's overrrrr! No more late night dance practices! Hurray! It was damn fun taking photos to kill off the long wait before our turn. The floats are super pretty also, especially the universal studio's one! We love gingerbread men! :D And we felt like celebrities that day, posing for the cameras and random people who wanted to take photo with us! :D :D

So this is really hell week for us right now, mugging for midterms next week because our recess week is soooooooo burnt! It didn't even felt like a recess week! :( I've been preparing my cheatsheets since last week and I'm still not done! Sighhhh. I have yet to practice my midterm papers screw me I'm still trying to understand the definitions, theorems and PROOFS!!!! I think everyone's pretty stressed up because I suddenly saw people breaking down and getting emo, and I fell sick too which I supposed it's due to the weather! So, CHEER UP da jia! At least we've got each other. :)

Everyone's watching hai pai now, makes me sooooo tempted you know! But I'm limiting myself to 3 parts per day! That's if I've completed all the work that I am supposed to. :) Da lung is just way too funny & I loveee the OST! :D Meeting tonight D: and an endless list of tutorials & assignments waiting to be completed!

Byeeee I'm off to class!

CHU YI :)

2010-02-14T07:19:00.000-08:00

Chu yi was awesomesxz! :D We visited three family of loved ones the entire day and I feel so tired already. But it was really good, catching up with relatives and cousins, finding out how we're doing, getting to know each other better, laughing about silly things/people, talking about the past, endless photo taking and most importantly, eating non-stop. I'm so full now, but it just feels really good putting school work aside and enjoying each other's company. Such times like these are truly precious.

Anyway, just heard the news today that grand aunt is down with cancer, stage four. She doesn't know yet because we don't want to let her know till after cny but according to my mum, they suspect she more or less knows her condition. It's times like these that makes you realize the importance of health and family. The smile on her face today was priceless when I started speaking in my lousy broken teo chew. Even though it was so embarrassing, I'm glad she smiled and laughed.

Another thing that dawned upon me when I was driving today. Everyone should really drive carefully. I almost got into a car accident today because I didn't gain enough speed before trying to filter in which almost resulted in an accident. My bad. And I was upset that I even knocked the back of the car while reversing. What happened to me man.

There's 100 over channels to watch on cable tv. I just caught the sisterhood of the traveling pants 2. Thought it was pretty good. :) Anyway, my assignments and tutorials are screaming at me. I think I'll start on work tmrw since my week will be burnt by outings and chingay full dress/actual parade. Sigh I need more time to catch up! Midterms are coming :/ I want to give my best!

HAPPY CNY

2010-02-13T06:40:00.000-08:00

Today's such an awesome day! What a way to end the cow year and I'm ready to embrace the tiger! :D I was really really happy when my lecture ended at 7.30pm yesterday and despite waiting for Abus for a pretty long time plus not-so-appetizing hall dinner, it didn't affect my mood! :) I'm so glad to see vday notes and chocs stuck on my door by my dear neighbours! Loves it! Vday is just weird in uni. I really miss all the fun we usually have on vday in sec sch/jc! We usually have so much fun doing notes and little gifts for friends the night before and happily distributing them to friends around the next day. It's all these little things that makes you feel so loved. :) I guess things change but I'm still thankful for the people around me!

Friday marks the last day before term break! :D How awesome! And I bumped into weining! :D Yanzhen and co as well :) And I finally satisfied my craving for jiao zi at the deck! :) It was so good man next up I wanna eat beehoon from the waffles stall. Dudu, let's go have lunch at the deck again when school starts. Onz?

Friday is such a happy day because I've finally finished settling everything for biz comm. :D Congrats cny and vday comm, I think we really put in a lot of effort, especially all the coordinating with the suppliers and internally among ourselves and the block ics. A lot of admin to do and the delivery of flowers/balloons/bakwa door to door was tedious but worth it! Ww was so nice to treat us to sheares supper! We should really give ourselves a pat! Next up would be bazaar but I'm glad I just have to help out while the bazaar comm will do the planning. IHG's over as well! Hip hip hurray! Closing ceremony was alright :) Track was really exciting!!! Especially when the guys are racing and I finally saw ninamon running again. :) No more IHG welfare duties too. :) The cny celebration stuffs are almost done as well. Really looking forward to lao yu sheng (on hall level). :) It'll be pretty chaotic I think but funnnn!!

Something to thank God for this week! I missed my submission for 1104 assignment you know! 5%! How could this happen to me, AGAIN!! I was damn upset when I discovered but thank God my prof was really really niceeee! He accepted my late submission and he even gave us mandarin oranges! :) Prof Ku ftw! :D

Today, I met up with kahyan and graciemoonie to celebrate grace's bday! Crystal jade+kfc egg tarts+koi milk tea+all the fun and laughter made my afternoon an awesome one!! :D Followed by reunion dinner at my grandma's place! :D It was damn shiok as well. And my dad's back! Just in time for reunion dinner! I had so much fun! To end it off, I'm gonna play guitar hero with my bro now! Till 12am! May the tiger be with you all! HAPPY CNY!!! HUAT AH!

You see me through the seasons

2010-02-08T09:45:00.000-08:00

Week 5, Tuesday 2am, I'm feeling drained.

I just finished reading through my linear algebra II notes for tomorrow's lecture. It's abstract to the max I feel like dying while reading it and trying my best to understand at least 50% of it, making it a lot easier tomorrow during lecture.

I kept wanting to doze off during class today and stoned a lot during tutorials. I think it's the aftermath of a crazy crazy week. I think it was chingay full dress on saturday that made me so tired and because I haven't rested enough on sunday this is what happens to me on monday. Saturday full dress was okay, a lot of waiting time as usual and we never fail to entertain ourselves with bridge. We seize every opportunity thrown at us to play bridge. Haha. Came back to kr at around 12plus am and then it was supper (super duper delicious!!!! :D) till 2plus am. Woke up for church at 8am and chionged all the way to expo. Thank God I was on time! And coffee kept me wide awake during sermon. :D I bought lunch home for my mum and bro. It feels good doing stuffs for my family even though it was really very tiring because by then the caffeine wasn't working anymore and I was lugging my heavy file and probability textbook back. But I think it's a blessing to do things for my family :)

ABC meeting at 11pm and we decorated the Ablock tables till 2plus am. Lectures and tutorials followed by rushing around NUS to settle welfare & biz comm stuffs. Chionged through my gene & soc assignment due this wed 9am oh my tian help me!!! Really thank God for sijia! :D She helped me a lot a lot! It's good to have bio genius friends around! Supported road race at 7pm and chingay from 8plus onwards till 10pm. I'm soooooooooo tired I need a good night's sleep! Another long day tmrw 12-8pm classes and I'm sad my two hour break in between will be burnt because I've got duty at the staff club for biz comm. Co prac at 8pm and block meeting at 10pm. I wonder what time my day will end tomorrow. Hopefully before 12am!

I'm really looking forward to cny break + recess week :D

Another week just zoomed passed us so quickly! It's sat! I finally had 6 hours plus of sleep! :D Yay! I hope I feel more recharged for today since today's going to be a long long longgggggg day. CHINGAY FULL DRESS REHEARSAL at F1 pit! :D We'll be doing our make ups and body paints at 12 and there'll be plenty of stoning session before we head down to F1 pit. I need to complete my gene and soc assignment asap!!!! It's due next week and I've been procrastinating ever since two weeks ago! The questions are just, weird! But I'll tackle it this weekend, probably tmrw night onwards :)

I'm really thankful for everything this week, despite the anxiety and stress, at least I managed to complete my tutorials for next week, even before the weekends start. :) I think I'm coping a little bit better than last sem at least! :) And I bumped into quite a number of people this week too. Like sarah and sok! And we studied at the science library. And I went for interview as well, hopefully I can be part of SCAMP 10/11. :D Chong kahyan stayed over with me again and we talked quite a lot before we both concuss on the bed! Yay sissypok is love and she is damn funny when she is stressed out! Suzuki and soulmate came back this week too! :D :D :D Definitely made my week :) I even had time to talk to joanne during our breaks. It's small incidences like these that makes me feel so blessed.

Endless meetings, dance prac, IHG duties and door to door sales this week was very tiring because after everything there's still homework to do. But I'm still glad I went through it! It's a learning process!

CNY is coming! Fwens let's meet up soon kayzxz! HAHA! :D

One more week..! :D

WEEK TWO!!!!!!!!!!

2010-01-22T10:07:00.000-08:00

It's saturday 2.15am! I've only done three and a half questions for linear algebra II omt i'm dying! I cannot do it without my senior's help! >:O I'm too reliant on others already! It's fern's birthday! We just sang birthday song and ate that super delicious cake! :D Celebrated three birthdays this week! :D I hope dudu liked her celebration! :D

Really thank God for this week. Had a pretty good time catching up with clarice and tb! :D And also bumping into seniors around school and friends! Like, talking to joanne during the last 8mins of probability lecture because she entered the lt to wait for her friend. Bumping into sijia twice this week! :D A pretty good talk with ninamon too. I thrashed out some stuffs about school to others as well, thinking I've actually got numbed to it all but actually I haven't. I hope next week will be better! Think I ought to pray about it. Got two assignments due and online mcqs to be done! Tutorials are starting next week as well. Zomg damn busy! And we signed up for SCAMP, seniors recuitment! :D

Duties, meetings and IHG matches this week. Everyday seems to be packed to the max! Sleeping at two plus and waking up at 8plus for breakfast! But I'm trying to enjoy this whole process. Anyway, we've only got a few more years of schooling left. Let's cherish and appreciate every moment of it! Studying shouldn't be a chore!

HAHA, this is random but our lounge has transformed into a gambling dent! Poker & mahjong ftw!

Alright, co prac, family dinner and cny shopping tmrw!

Goodnight everyone!

best of the best

2010-01-15T18:16:00.000-08:00

BWOC on friday night was such a success! :D Yay! The food prepared by each floor was so yummy I could gorge everything down my throat into my pitless stomach! But it was such a pity I didn't get to taste those meatballs!!! I need to go to ikea soon to satisfy my cravings! Despite the mad rush trying to collect donation cards after that which resulted in me missing the screening of the lovely bones, it was fun nonetheless. :) More donation cards to be collected on monday and endless receipt claims to be done!

I had the best day of the sem as well because dudu accompanied me the entire day from 12-8pm through all my lectures! :D Oh my tian, I have the most awesome friend ever! :D

I survived week one! :D But there's a lot of revising to do! Especially when modules like probability and linear algebra II is starting to confuse me already.

& today's my mum's special day, happy birthday ah niang!

I'll sing of Your love forever

2010-01-13T18:11:00.001-08:00

This year seems like the hardest point of my life so far, when I struggle to balance everything, struggle to set things right, struggle to walk right with God. I'm reminded again, it's going to be a year where I'll have to learn to do the hard things. It's only the fourth day of school but it feels as though weeks have gone by. As I think about the upcoming duties I have for IHG, meetings per week, chingay dance prac a couple of times per week, spending time with my family, going to church, spending more time with God during QT, co pracs and tutorials/labs are going to kick in soon, I get afraid. I'm afraid I can't find time. 24 hours isn't enough. But I believe God will provide. God will never leave me nor forsake me.

Wednesday was my free day. Thank God I studied in the library and cleared a decent amount of work so that I could support tennis without feeling guilty. I don't want to lead the kind of life that I led last sem. I want to have proper time management!

And I just witnessed the goodness of God in my dear friend :) I'm so proud of you twin! :) I'm so happy that you've regained your confidence in God and doing so well in school. Really gives me a lot of encouragement! I will hang in there and witness God's faithfulness too.

The tide is high but I'm holding on!

i will find strength in You

2010-01-07T06:30:00.000-08:00

Three more days before school starts and we're in the midst of bidding for our modules. I do hope I get my gem and will start bidding for soci soon, probably the next round. I hope my gem doesn't drain all my points in my gaccount. My probability module cost me a bomb man. Heartache ttm.

Met up with stella and duqian this week. :) Lunch and kbox was really fun! Sometimes I feel really lucky and thankful for friends like them, whom I can be myself and not hide a thing. I really enjoyed their company. Stella and I kept singing couple songs hahaha and duqian kept singing her usual zhao wei songs that has really awkward pauses at certain parts and weird lyrics like dee dee dee na na na? I dirtied the place like crazy too because I spilled stella's drink all over. Think we created a big mess over there. I'm pretty sure we're blacklisted. But this time we all tried to sing songs without the singer. UPS!! I had so much fun, we should do such things more often! Sing to our hearts content! I guess this will only happen probably after sem two ends. I'm already counting down! Haha.

Out with oba and grace today to sgh. :) It's been so long since we met up with oba! So glad we saw her today! Grace is as funny as usual and it was so funny trying to direct her to the life centre (not eye centre!) The waiting time was long, but I didn't really notice it. Must be too engrossed in our chat and playing grace's iTouch! :D Met up with winnie at smu!!!! :D :D I miss winnie! We had yummy lunch at screme at only five dollars!! So value for money. We laughed a lot and I felt like a secondary school kid again! :D Nothing beats the good old times in stnicks! We ended up touring around smu and talking in the study room :) ice monsters, getting jieying's present then bumping into tyl and her bro on the bus. Me love my neighbour! :)

On wed, we had ABC meeting. :) I miss ABC!! Ziyi's back! :D He's still so funny. Anyway, bwoc is postponed to next friday. Looking forward to it but i'll only end class at 8pm. I think i'll be missing the cookout part. :( But looking forward to baking apple crumble! :D

Howwwwwwwww? What should I do? I need to get some stuffs settled ASAP! D:

the climb!

2010-01-03T19:50:00.000-08:00

It's monday, fourth day into the new year. Troubles and worries start coming my way. I guess life's a climb, really. I've told some people my decision about hall yet I think it's so hard to carry them out. There's a lot of consequences, people I'll disappoint and hurt, yet if I don't do so, disappoint and hurt others too. I can't have the best of both worlds. Sometimes I wish I could just enjoy the moment and go with the flow, but sometimes you know you just got to think far. Time to be strong!

Life's a climb, but the view is great! :)

DO HARD THINGS!

2010-01-01T01:43:00.000-08:00

Countdown at TC was awesome!! What a great way to spend the last few moments of 2009 and the beginning of 2010 in church. :D Anyway, the performances were all great! I was drawn to all of them. It's so amazing to see various talents unleashed and it amazes me that God has specially planted a unique talent for everyone. We were caught in a jam for a very long time after that and I'm very thankful+sorry for making tammy&zhijian wait till 2am for supper round two. :D DIMSUM!!! Yay.

Anyway, my phone is spoilt again. :( Even my phone is doing things the hard way. I will send it for repair soon. And because of that I didn't get to meet up with the rest just now and it's also because of jetlag. I slept my afternoon away. I'm so sorry. At least I'm not in a daze now. :)

Next week is gonna be busy, meetups, chingay, meetings, BWOC, bidding for modules, moving back to KR, woahhh, DOING HARD THINGS! Let's enjoy it!

2009-12-31T00:56:00.001-08:00

2009 IS ENDING!!!

It's scary how a year can just zoom pass so quickly. The year started off really great because As ended and I got an admin job at ST Electronics, which is only 5mins bus ride away from my home. I was really lucky and even luckier to be working with graciemoonie! :D We really had a hard time working there for five months because admin work is seriously not our cup of tea but somehow we survived it with the help of some really nice colleagues! :) I'm so thankful for them. And I miss them!

I also went for cell group, like finally, after many many years and it was really awesome! The cell group is like family. :) It's exciting to learn from one another and grow together in Christ. Conquering some personal challenges felt really good too and having a closer walk with God is something I never regretted. Some times cell group was so impactful that I got so excited and shared bits and pieces with my family. That's how life was then.

Exciting taiwan and hk trip with my two good buddies, duqian and stella, was very fun too! :D It was an experience I'll never forget. Whenever I look back at the photos we took, I never fail to smile at the various jokes and silly things we did. XBL/PARTYGIRLS, I love you two deep deep! :)

Orientation camps kicked in, ROVERS, FWOC, SOW(which i only went for half a day). A whole lot of fun and I made new friends! Uni sounds exciting huh. :) It was and still is. Then things got really busy, lectures, tutorials, assignments, lab, quizzes, midterms, finals along with hall activities. I struggled to balance work, family, God and fun in hall. It still is a struggle.

Applied maths is hard and very competitive. I struggled, I fell, I stood up and tried again and the process repeats itself. But i still love maths nevertheless. Weekends were well spent with my family most of the time. I appreciate them a lot more! :) God disappeared from my life more and more, lesser quiet time, no more cell group, naps during service. I was dry spiritually and very tired physically because of the endless hall activities. But I'm so thankful for clarice and tb for meeting up with me weekly (we try to!). They helped me a great deal. I'm not saying hall is bad. No, I learnt a lot from hall and made some really awesome friends. :) I've opened my eyes to more things and tried new stuffs. I'm glad the freshies are so enthusiastic and we've got really fantastic seniors. A block is love, not forgetting ABC. :)

Results came out. I cried. I had a hard time accepting it. I struggled to thank God. I question. I scolded myself. I was upset. But through it all I've learnt a lot more. I think God is really awesome. Somehow, even though my dreams were dashed, eg the thought of going for exchange, I sensed that God wants me to know that I can have dreams, big dreams, but if it wasn't God's dream for me, nothing will happen.

The cell is stepping up, rising up. I'm so excited for them all. Seeing everyone blossoming into leaders I feel so happy for them all :) I have never imagined that so much could have changed in just a year. It's exciting you know. Sometimes I wonder what God has installed for me too. Anyway, I just want to say I'm thankful for 2009. It has been great! I'm thankful for a whole bunch of good friends that I'm still in contact with, the new friends that I've made that made this whole year a great one for me. Wishing everyone a happy and fulfilling 2010! :)

across the universe

2009-12-27T00:59:00.000-08:00

It's 1am now in LA, equivalent to 5pm in singapore. My family's asleep :) We drove to barstow today to shop! My family is such a shopaholic! The guys are great shoppers I tell you. Better than us girls! HAHA. I thank God for this holiday, even though sometimes I get really annoyed with my family, somehow things worked out and I really got to know them a whole lot more. Guess it's really great bonding time for us since I've been in hall for quite some time. It's really precious time spent with them. :)

The year draws to an end in a couple of days. It's time to do some serious reflection and set some goals and resolutions for 2010. I've been thinking quite a bit, especially during the long road trips in US. Been seeking God quite a bit too. It never fails to amaze me how small I feel in this world and it makes me feel soooo thankful that God actually bothers about me. I'm facing quite a fair bit of struggle now, and I'm really quite upset about what has happened. I need some time to get over it, pick myself up and be positive cause right now, fear and insecuritiy is making me doubt myself. Then again, it's not about me, it's the about the power of God in me. But do I have the faith to believe it? :/

I'll be back! Soon!

I must believe it'll only make me stronger and for the better!

2009-12-24T00:43:00.000-08:00

tough times ahead :(

hyung-nim here i come!

2009-12-19T09:09:00.000-08:00

Flight tmrw morning at 9.20am to US and we'll be transitting in seoul (HYUNG-NIM! HERE I COME!!!) Praying for a safe trip most importantly! :) Will be missing everyone a lot a lot when I'm over there! :( Will be back probably on the 30th and hopefully I make it in time for chingay dance prac. :) See how everything goes!

Cellobass gathering today was pretty fun! At least we did quite a bit of catching up! There were just too many of us that I didn't have enough time to talk to each and everyone properly! But I've finally stepped foot into orchard central and somerset313! YAY! :) And it was funny how ding jie and jinxian tried explaining to us that they were the beef patty! :D HAHA! Nice try! :D

2009-12-18T18:40:00.000-08:00

Looking forward to another fun-filled afternoon with cellobass seniors and juniors! :) Three generations man, I miss them all so much! :D

YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL

2009-12-18T05:56:00.000-08:00

HELLO ALL! Had a awesome time today with my favourite xiang ba laos! :) Lunch at jap foodcourt then sang k at party world! Four hours long of singing and we are very very versatile singers okay! We sang a WIDE range and variety of songs, from english to chinese to korean ones, opera-like to cheerful to emo songs! :D Hahaha! Nobody was the funniest! Made us so high that we ended up bouncing on the sofa and doing the nobody dance!! I was so drained after two rounds of that but was really fun ttm! :D Chingay dance prac this week back in hall was fun! But it made my entire body ache, especially my thighs! I think it's due to the crazy stretching exercises! ABC meeting was pretty good as well, I'm excited for our first ever BWOC in kr! :D Teehee.

And I'm really suffering from very serious withdrawal symptoms! :( HELP ME!!! :( I completed You're beautiful in three days omg it's super niceeee! Withdrawal symptoms are as bad as when BOF's ended! I feel it! My whole brain is just filled with Hyung-nim!!! It doesn't help when my alarm and message ringtones are You're beautiful OST songs. This feeling is terrible!! :( Everyone please go watch You're beautiful if you're very free now, besides it's the holidays!!! I really want to do things that I enjoy very much this holidays because when next sem starts, it's going to be another crazy sem (I've mentioned this so many times) and I'll really miss my dramas till we reunite again after finals in may! AW.

Results will be out on 22nd Dec. I'm scared! :/ How not to be. I'll be checking my results once I arrive in US. I need to make sure I SU whatever modules I need to.

I will still choose to thank God!

RAMBLES.

2009-12-09T20:07:00.000-08:00

I'm definitely enjoying my holidays! :D i love to nuaaaaaa and just slack around and finally!! like finally! i'm watching tv shows and online videos! haven't gotten a chance to sit down with my family and relax and enjoy tv shows ever since uni started! holidays are the best! :D anyway i think i've been watching gong xin ji way too fast, so i shall put it to a stop for now and continue tonight! dad signed me up for EOS 500D canon complimentary course since i'm the only one who's free today :/ i'm a bit scared though. i'm quite a loser when it comes to things like this so i really hope i won't embarrass myself later.

i'm really excited about US trip! :) flying for 17hours in the sky! I CAN'T WAIT!!! :D but for now, i think i need to accomplish some stuffs before leaving like packing up my damn messy room, meeting up with friends and planning my timetable for next sem! i want a nice timetable! :D hopefully it won't be as screwed up as this sem's! haha i'm still thinking if i should minor in econs and i'm wondering if 3 core modules + 2 econs modules will be damn stressful a not. HOWWW! And maybe I should start clearing up my gem modules! so much to think about. i'm not looking forward to next sem though, school + cca + hall. Oh my tian I'm not sure if i can handle it.

This is such a redundant post! Oh wells.

i'm not a child but my heart can still dream!

2009-12-07T09:14:00.001-08:00

A long day ahead! I should really hit the sacks now! Anyway home alone (one) was awesome! I know it's an old show but it was really heartwarming and funny! Anyway, I have been sleeping way too much over the past few days. Had headache again today! I think I got some head problem. Haha. I'm really excited to seeing you guys tmrw and i'm so happy for you and you! Oh my tian, JIAYOU! :D It must be christmas!

post exams happiness! :)

2009-12-06T09:08:00.000-08:00

This week was really awesome because I managed to meet up with dear dear long-time-no-see friends!!! Feel so accomplished now! :D We must really play hard this dec holidays because next sem will be another crazy sem and I do not wish to think about it! Monday I met up with ah jia and we had super yummy dinner at aji teh! :) Lots of catching up woohoo I think that's great! Tuesday I caught two movies! Mulan with dudu, stella and jieying and we bumped into fern and you know who. Mulan was niceeee even though I'm not a zhao wei fan but she acted really well in the show and I was so sad when xiao hu died! :( Watched 2012 with block people after eating at chomp chomp! :D ME LOVE CHOMP CHOMP TTM!!! Stingray was absolutely satisfying! 2012 was damn scary and sad! I think tammy and I freaked out the most while the others laughed during the movie! How is that even possible!? Wednesday was funnn! ABC went to ikea for christmas shopping after our meeting! We even skyped with ziyi! OMG high tech leh! :D Hahaha. And ziyi's expression was damn funny! Ikea shopping was fun too I laughed so so so hard at this uncle who helped us take a group photo! He's damn funny! Dinner at Mr Curry wheee it was nice but not worth the money really. Portion was so small but I managed to bump into shangfei at clarke quay! :) SO YOU YUAN! While the rest of them went to club, the remaining four of us camwhored at clarke quay and orchard! :D IT WAS SUPER FUN!!! :D And it's free! Hahahaha. We really zi high-ed all the way but I love the photos and the company that night! Dim Sum supper after that. Free car ride back but joseph is a violent driver! Our lives were at risk but definitely thrilling! Dudu came back on thurs, almost the same time as me! Met up with kahyan and graciemoonie and we had crystal jade porridge! I LOVE THEIR PORRIDGE! So schweet! :D Haha. Shopping trip with sissypok on fri and talked till 6am. :) Co camp on sat but I only went for a few hours, I had quite a bit of fun during ice breakers! :) Then I moved out at 3pm. That sums up my week! I'm going to miss tyl mega a lot a lot a lot. :(

I SURVIVED SEM ONE!

2009-11-26T09:29:00.000-08:00

HELLO WORLD I SURVIVED SEM ONE! Clap for me please!! :D

Really want to thank God for exams! And for giving me all the strength that I need to get through all my crazy papers! I don't even have any idea how I survived the study period which includes recess week and exam week. Mugging for papers the next day really gave me panic attacks! And even though I sleep late, I still can't get enough rest because I have trouble falling asleep and even when I take naps, I'll be dreaming like crazy. Naps usually last around 12 minutes long before I jolt out of bed back into my mugging mode. Uni is tough! Life is tough! But God is tougher. I'm soooo glad and thankful for the awesome people I'm blessed with. Especially friends who spent time mugging with me at central library (i love central library!), seniors who would sit next to me and go through papers with me, revising my concepts with me, friends who'll tell me not to be so stressed out. I think I wouldn't have survived without them, and would have probably jumped off my window, HAHA. (not kidding, I really almost broke down while studying for MA1100. I just don't get it!)

I'm so glad it's all over! :D No more late nights, no more skipping of meals, no more anti-social-ness, no more endless frowning, no more panic attacks before papers, no more no more no more!!! :D

After my last paper, we went out to eat xo fish noodle which was awesomeeee to the max! :D and then the seniors made alcoholic drinks for us, had htht till 6am in the morning! Oh man, I really cherish these friends! love you all deepdeep!

why must people come and go

2009-11-19T15:52:00.000-08:00

Stress level never this high before! And tomorrow marks the start of my nightmare, HELP :( The amount of theorems, definitions and a whole long list of formulas to remember is really frying my brain! Been camping in the library from 10am to 10pm this week, I really lift up to NJ's reputation of being a mugger. I don't even think I mugged this hard for As. It's the same old routine everyday, yet last time I was happy doing it, enjoying and appreciating whatever I'm learning! Now, it's too fast paced! I can't even stop and go wowwww at a nicely done proof! (haha okay I did wow at one of it once! so chioooo!!! HAHA) Doing my cheatsheet is torturing my eyes because I have to write it so small and after that everything else that I see becomes so blurry. I haven't finished studying. HOW :( Not a very good thing! I don't wish to stone when everyone's furiously trying to solve the qns! But all in all, even though I'm complaining so much, at the back of my mind I know I must not and will not give up! It's a blessing to even have a chance to study! And let's just pull through it! Life is full of wonderful surprises! HAHA. Maybe I'll pass linear algebra! :D Okay byebye there's a paper at 9am!

12days to EXAMS

2009-11-07T22:10:00.000-08:00

Week 12, Sunday! TWELVE DAYS TO EXAMS!!!!

I'm horrified!!! Uni finals seems a lot worse than Alevels. At least during As you've got months to revise, to consult your tutors, to do practices, to make sure you get your concepts right, and it's only As that matters. (though we do get stressed out by promos and tests here and there) But next week which is the last week of school, we're still doing the last chapter of the module during tutorial! And matlab 10% quiz too! D: And two graded assignments due next week. STRESSED TTM!!!!!

Sidetrack a bit, photobooth is love :)

we're so close to finals, SCREAMS!

2009-11-01T17:20:00.000-08:00

WEEK 12! How's everyone feeling?!

Managed to sleep at 2 plus last night and wake up at 8.30am! :D Haha. Feels real good waking up before 9am. Anyway, night cycling on friday was awesumz! Despite the rain, I think A block has really good block spirit and we kept each other high and happy throughout the night! Singing in the rain was totally boomz! WESTLIFE WESTLIFE! xD Rocher taohuay and youtiao at the singapore flyer was the best supper that night! IT WAS SOOOOOOO NICE! Cycled 32km from nus to ecp and it felt so much easier this time round, compared to the recce experience! Guess it's because of the company! :D YAY. Tandem-ing with the soulmate was so much fun too, we've got chemistry you see!!! So the night was great and we arrived at 5.30am. Breakfast at macs and the guys played tai dee which was really really funny cause of the forefeits they had to do. AMUSING STUFFS. :) I slept my weekends away though and thank God my parents were understanding about it. Today is the start of the official mugging period, I'm gonna phantom at biz library after school, study my dear nation building, have dinner with sispokpokpok and there's ABC meeting + welfare comm meeting at night. Oh yeah, check out karaoke party, HAHA, we had so much fun singing when kahyan came to stayover with me! :D

MOST CRAZY DAY OF THE WEEK GONE?

2009-10-26T18:45:00.000-07:00

SEM 1, WEEK 11, TUESDAY.

Yesterday was monday and it was considered one of the most crazy and stress days of the week already. And it was only the first day of the week. Was so stressed because I was supposed to hand in MA1100 assignment today but I thought the dateline was thursday so I was happily doing calculus assignment instead (which was due on thurs). The last minute mad rush almost gave me a panic attack! Because I had to read up on the notes and look through the past two tutorials (which I didn't do), and try to do them, then attempt my assignment. Procrastination killed me. But Thank God everything was done by 3am because I had block comm meeting from 7pm-12am (which included going to clementi to get materials for the culture night gifts and making the gifts itself and filming the 30th anniversary video). By some miracle, I still managed to finish my work. :) God is good seriously! :) And I've got a new encouraging message to mount on my board, YAY! tyvm to sunbae! HAHA. Anyhow, there's still a pile of never ending list of work to do, such as catching up on my dear dear linear algebra and a lot more to go. With another crazy CA next week-nation building, oh my tian, tell me how to survive. To make things worse, there's bizcomm meeting, culture night, chingay costume fitting session and night cycling! So boomz!! HAHA. OKAY, positive spirit should do the trick! :)

Back to work! Class is starting in 2hours!!!!

TGIFTGIF!

2009-10-22T18:09:00.001-07:00

SEM ONE WEEK TEN!

Less than a month to finals! IM SCARED! ):

10am-3pm class today! After that is meeting up with tb and clarice and HOME SWEET HOME! :) I miss home cooked food! I hope dinner will be good! Haha. Anyway this week was fun! iScream supper on tuesday for A block was quite a success and jordan's pink and blue video was funny! Of course we ended up getting dirtied AGAIN in the end because some people just couldn't resist it, they had to dirty each other with ice cream so the scene got damn chaotic and I wasn't spared AGAIN. BUT IT WAS FUN! :D Haha. Welfare comm food survey done, omg, i nearly died giving out 90 odd survey forms and collating the results after that. Slept at 4am just doing that. What happened to linear algebra? :/ Had finance comm meeting this week too. The job sounds pretty manageable! :) Next week is we'll be having culture night (go dancers and actors and rockers!!) and night cycling on friday (I can't wait!) But it means exams are coming. Shitzxz. Uni life is so stressful. I can't believe just by going to munchie monkeys for dinner made me feel so stress. It was supposed to help me relax a bit but I felt as though I wasted too much time. Plus, falling asleep while reading my SS notes. Omg sian ttm! :O

Oh yah I bumped into sijia twice this week! Clarice and cheryl lim too! YAYYYY!!!! :D

Two hands, one heart, one life.

HUH THE WEEKEND'S ALMOST OVER?!

2009-10-17T23:15:00.001-07:00

This week was another crazy week. Ever since I came into hall I don't think I studied much! As the week passes, I sleep later each day and wake up later every morning. Sometimes even missing breakfast. Pffft. How can?! I'm not blaming hall, don't get me wrong, I'm blaming myself for my poor discipline and management skills. :/ I've more or less gotten used to the kind of life hall expects me to lead (packed with hall/block events, meetings, suppers yada yada) but my work cries out to me ): Anyway, midterm results are back and what can I say, I've paid the price for playing so much and not working hard enough. My concepts and basics are screwed upside down. And smarty pants around me are emo-ing over the fact that they didn't top the cohort but got fourth instead. Haha. They should comfort me instead as I suffer at the bottom of the bell curve. Audrey ah, time to phantom in your room, join the MUGGERCOMM! Every week seems so packed with activities. Monday was birthday bash by the girls (thanks a lot!) haha, EFFORT!!! They really took the time and effort to carry my bed, my clothes and all my books out of my room and i really got a shock when I saw the state of my room. Birthday celebrations for the guy seniors were crazy! (refer to facebook for the waxing photos ewwwww), on going pink & blue with crazy terrorists pouring disgusting things like eggs, cake and even prickling powder over us at the wee hours in the morning, falling sick in the middle of the week (bad flu and teary eyes), and to end my week with a bang-night cycling recce with ABC and the rest of kr's block comm-ers. Was definitely great fun and I enjoyed the company ttm! :D Suppers, singing silly songs, star gazing in the middle of bukit timah road, cycling pass NJC (i miss school!). Yes the week was awesome!

19th!

2009-10-10T18:54:00.001-07:00

Thank you everyone for the birthday wishes and celebration! I love the surprises, cakes and funny presents! They just made my 101009 an awesome and memorable one! :D

After all the fun I had during my birthday, I'm going to start phantoming next week (besides interblock comm activities and maf with sheares), you'll probably find me locked up in my room webcasting away! Elearning week was not at all productive! Procrastination kicks in, soon to due assignments piling up, untouched tutorials rotting away and many many more!

I SHALL GO WEBCAST NOW NOW NOW!!!!!

THIS IS THE WAY KR CELEBRATES BIRTHDAYS

2009-10-03T17:10:00.000-07:00

This week was the most hellish week ever since school started. Week seven, i'll remember how much pain you caused me. HAHA. I had four midterms this week, over three days. And to make things worse, we still had lectures and tutorials ongoing, so on tues and wed, I had my midterms after classes ended, which is in the evening and i'll be so sleepy, tired and hungry. Core module papers totally GG already but I hope econs will be alright. :/ Anyway, kensing's birthday celebration on friday 12am was absolutely fun! The guys tied him to a chair in the toilet and poured chicken all over him. (They collected ten chicken's worth of chicken bones from sheares). They added all sorts of disgusting crap and filled it up in the bucket and poor kensing, HAHA, he smelt super like a chicken after that. Once they poured it over him, the entire block just ran in all sorts of directions, and the seniors were smart to lock themselves up in their room. Kensing, being so nice, went to spread the loveeee to us. So we smelt like chickens after that too. HAHA. It was damn fun running here and there, trying to avoid attack by those who got attacked by kensing. But too bad la, many of us still got it. So we had to bathe at unearthly 1am or so and do our laundry after that. :D ABC meeting on friday to do up the lounge and discuss for tues moon cake party cum race was fun! ABC really makes me laugh! :D They're damn funny. I've been sleeping at 3am every day now, which i know, is Very Very Unhealthy. Next week's elearning week but I've got makeup tutorials and lab lessons, so it doesn't make much of a difference. But I think it'll be good nua-ing in hall for a longer period of time. 8 webcasts, 7 tutorials, 2 labs for me next week! take care everyoneeeee especially ntu people having their midterms, all the way! :)

HELLO FRIENDS IM BACK!

2009-09-26T17:05:00.000-07:00

WOAH I haven't been updating! If you all tried to check up on my life through facebook, it's not an accurate account of what I've been doing ever since school started especially when we've got a couple of pretty talented shit stirrers in kr. HAHA.

Anyway, recess week is over! Oh my tian that's very sad. Been sleeping almost 2.30-3am every night since last week, and it's not because of hall activities okay. It's mostly because I was rushing through graded assignments (almost everything in uni is graded), or chionging the next day's tutorials. On some days, it'll be because meeting ended at unearthly timings like 1am then I still got to shower and do laundry. Sometimes it'll be because we had supper at sheares but i LOVEEEE sheares's chicken and orange juice. It's absolutely satisfying but I know, UNHEALTHY la!!! Spent four days in kr last week though it was recess week cause there's trials ongoing and block comm had outing to IKEA! :D MEATBALLS ARE DA BOMB! :) And we managed to get some stuffs for the lounge! :) Can't wait to see how things turn out! :)

I'm super stressed over mid terms!! Four mid terms next week! Seriously who said uni is slack and relax and much easier to cope as compared to JC! I need to whack that person! Haha. It's at least ten times harder and the amount of syllabus they try to squeeze in per sem is overwhelming. Plus the fact that there's so much self studying to do! I really miss jc teachers and friends and even S04. Having a class to go with for lectures is really great. Now I go for lectures with random pple, usually kr pple, thank God for them! But I do miss having a fixed class, where silences between us are just so comfortable. And I don't have time for lunch except on wednesdays so JIO ME OUT on wednesdays okay!

My helpsheet hasn't been making much progress, I really don't know how to organise my thoughts and group the different theorems, definitions, discussions and examples onto an A4 paper. I feel like spamming everything onto it! Really stress! Emailed my prof ystd, I hope he replies soon, and I hope his reply will allow me to see the light. I hate you determinants! HAHAHA.

Lots of things happening at home too. Bro's promos are coming up in 8days, Dad's away for a week, mum is as funny as usual and she's really damn lame HAHAHA. Grandpa got out of the hospital but refuses to take his medication, thus giving my parents and aunts a bigggggggg headache. Grandma got into the hospital a few days back cause she was puking non-stop. Her potassium and sodium level is awfully lowww ): And it pains me to see my dear grandma lying there in pain, on drip, and her arms are swollen. Really pray for God to strengthen her. And my long lost uncle (more than ten years of mia-ing in the US) is finally coming home. My grandparents were overjoyed! We thought he disappeared for good or died during the 911 incident cause there was no news of him at all. So yay.

OKAY JIAYOU! MIDTERMS!

BUSY

2009-09-11T02:20:00.000-07:00

Fifth week of school is finally over :) I'm so glad! Still trying to cope with hall life, school and family. It's not easy. Anyway, DnD was fun :D and i'm super thankful IBG's over! But IBG was fun and the freshies really grew close to one another through the different games. A block FIRST IN SPIRIT :D Block elections over, but IHG trials and Nation building CA next week, I need to find time to start mugging for midterm test. Ah.

Volleyball in half an hours time :D
Ciao!

the start of something new!

2009-08-15T16:47:00.000-07:00

HEY ALL! :)
First week of school has been good because there's only lectures so our timetables are pretty slack! I love it! :D Lectures don't start too early for me. Usually around 10/12 that means I get to wake up for breakfast, have a nice shower, nuah in my room/invade dudu and haiching's room, read up on lecture notes, go for morning trainings before heading off to sci fac, which is super duper far from kr but D bus does the trick! :D

Anyway, lunched with nina at megabytes this week :D Megabytes is totally like ikea and the food is alright! Ablockers lunched at engin too! :D I LOVE ENGIN! Oh my tian! The jap food is really nice. Huge portion too! :D

Lectures are okay, so-so, and at times, boring. 2hours of lecture per module is really longggg but the good thing is the lecturers usually end in an hour and 30-40mins so I got time to rush to the next LT. I need to make new friends for MA lectures!!!! Tian ah. Especially MA1100! And Daren's my only friend for EC1301. Camille's my only friend for SSA2204. OH YAH! I totally couldn't understand SSA2204! WHAT KIND OF HISTORY ON NATION BUILDING IS THAT! Haha. Totally cheem to the max. Eng Tat crashed that lecture too. Was quite funny seeing a year four around!

I just bidded for my tutorials yesterday. D: My timetable looks packed! Ah.

Anyway, this week has been happening!
1)FORMAL DINNER + watched UP with our dates.
Haha. So school is really happening! Our dates picked us up at dudu's room and we ended up taking photos and talking and making a lot of noise outside dudu's room. Ended up sweating even though we just showered! Haha. :D Dinner at dinning hall was fun! :D Huimin and kelvin sat at my table! So we kept talking and kept clapping to show support to those making speeches. Cause we were sitting at the jcrc table so no choice. But it was fun! :D Everyone dressed so nicely that night. Then we took bus to Lido and watched up! :D It's nice!!!! I don't understand why people like eng tat or daryl or nina lee etcetc can end up sleeping while people like juliana cried like crazy!!! But it was really nice! 4k laughed damn loudly next to me. It was quite amusing! :) Then it was more photo taking time.

2)HALL BASH AT FORBIDDEN CITY
Hall bash was okay! I don't really like loud music. The paegent contestants were entertaining! Go a block! HAHA. Anyway we drank orange vodka. Wasn't too bad! :) Quite mild actually. :) Nina looked drunk la. Supper at macs after that. Fries, ice cream, seaweed fries, more icecream. HAHA. It was really nice. And Liu rui treated us to awesome icecream! From turkey I think! It had this very nice chewy feeling! :D

IBG's starting next week so this week we had trainings. I had netball, volleyball and handball. My right arm aches like crap now!

Got to print next week's lecture notes! :D
BYEBYE!

first day of school

2009-08-10T19:37:00.001-07:00

HELLO UNI LIFE! :)

MA1100 lecture is starting in an hour and 15mins time. I'm still rotting in hall while almost everyone has gone for lectures. I'm reallyyyy reallyyyyy excited for school! :D :D How can you not be when we have wasted eight months away, since end nov! School is definitely more fun than work! :D

Anyway, I really thank God for this excited spirit in me! :D I don't want to dread school and I want to start it off with a big bang! Duqian woke me up really early this morning and we managed to have breakfast! I think that's a great start! :) I'm really relieved that ndp's over as well, because IBG's going to make everyone so busy and tired and on top of that we've got school work. WE WILL SURVIVE no worries!!

Formal dinner and we'll be watching UP tonight! NO AWKWARD SILENCES please!!!!

I hope everyone will have a fantastic first semester!
:D

Still adapting

2009-08-04T19:56:00.000-07:00

HEY HEY! :)

I'm blogging from hall now. FWOC was fun, definitely! And I went for science oweek for just a day, ponned the rest. Staying in hall away from parents means independence. I think I failed quite terribly at that. I fell sick since wednesday. Temperature kept rising till 39.7 on friday so I got sent back home, hence missing the highlight of fwoc- senior's performance, bbq and supper! OH MAN OH MAN! But I'm really thankful for great friends, nice neighbours and caring seniors around. They really took care of me really well. It gave me a lot of comfort knowing there's people around who are willing to help. It was a different experience. Yesterday morning we had flag day. The seniors woke us up at 4.30am and I woke up feeling really really unwell. And I almost black out. It was quite a scary feeling. Suddenly I could see stars, my vision narrowed, my ears got partially blocked and I broke into cold sweat. So i rested and only joined the group at around two plus. :) Feeling a lot better now. And yesterday was the last thing I did for my date. Let this game end. END.

I'm gonna continue bidding for my modules.

:)

Much love

2009-07-17T18:49:00.000-07:00

QET on thursday at MPSH1 was crazy! Haha. Haven't used my brain for a very long time and it was stoning most of the time during the 2hr15mins test. Saw some nj people and fellow rovers friends. :) Back to nj after that with nina and sijia for our favourite mian and the mian aunty is very very nice! :D I miss her so much! We met Christina too after half a year and we almost couldn't recognise her. I guess everyone changed quite a bit during this longggggg break. Miss lim is still so busy, giving consultations to her never ending consultation groups. It was great stepping into school again, reminiscing about the good old days. We always cherish the things that have passed. That's us, humans.

Medical checkup on friday was FUN!!! :D Haha. It was really quite fun la! :) Height and weight, eye checkup, blood pressure, urine test, xray and consultation. Xray was fun I think. Haha. Bumped into Zhenqing and I forgotten her name la until the nurse called her. So there was a moment of awkwardness when she called me but I couldn't respond by calling her back because I've forgotten her name so I just smiled. :) Hahaha. Urine test was quite funny listening to people's comments and some of them couldn't find the "window". Consultation was funny too because the doctor made you lift your shirt so high and her fingers were freezing!! So it tickles quite a bit when she presses your stomach area. Anyway clarice, shanly and I explored nus after lunching with Weiting and danhong. We explored business, peeped at the kent ridge hall, prince george park. I wanna go engin!!! And visit Ronald Macdonalds! :D HAHA. Science block looks awfully cui!!! Ahhhh.

Dinner at Plaza sing with S24 people was so much fun! :) Haven't been so high since Rovers camp. Haha. It's just amazing. Anyway, I'm so happy everyone's going to their various faculties and studying things that they like, I hope! Haha. But I'm just wow-ed to see how everyone has grown over the past two years. Seems like just yesterday when we were doing the TERRA TERRA TERRA TERRA OOMM BAA BAA cheer. :) Haha. I hope we will still meet up even after uni starts. Not hope. It's a MUST! Haha. And those going for camps eg CLEOPATRA, have fun! :D Those going for orientation, enjoy! :D

i woke up late!

2009-07-14T18:58:00.000-07:00

I woke up at 9.10am today! Which is.. LATE LATE LATE for me! Haha. My usual waking up time for the holidays is 7.30am on weekdays and 8am on weekends so today I got a huge shock when I woke up at 9.10am. Val says I'm crazy but I think she's crazier, crazier, crazier. Haha. Reminds me of the taylor swift song! Which is nice!! Go listen :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOANNAH! (14/7)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY KUEY & XUE EN! (15/7)

Ystd night was really htht with twin! :) Amazing how we can talk from 9.30pm to 2am. My phone batt kept dying halfway and I had to keep switching phones while charging the other. I'm glad we had the talk because we really talked about plenty of things. HAHA. Things that made me realise we're all growing up way too fast. Time should just come to a standstill for just a moment. That'll be niceee! :)

Zero bingos for ytsd. I think boss is going to kill me soon. Ehhh I've tried my best. But it's amazing how I discovered two colleagues from GE that are also from FCBC because we all ended fast about the same time and ate our nasi lemak hungrily at the pantry. Haha. I can't wait to see leonyy, spastic twin who just returned from the land of kimchis, kahyan who just returned from europe and dudu! :) I need to add this in! DUDU IS A SHOPAHOLIC! Haha. She can really shop and shop and shop. This is random but, I'm a tad scared for QET tmrw and I desperately need to book a driving lesson soon! Preferably next week!

im still high over it

2009-07-12T20:18:00.000-07:00

HELLO! :) I was saving all the camp photos and by the time i finished, i'm already super drained and too tired to blog about camp. I'm a procrastinator I think. Anyway today mum woke me up at 6am to go to the botanic gardens for morning jog! So after sending bro to school, the three of us went to jog and had breakfast there! :) Super relaxing though.

Photos for day one of nus rovers camp!

2009-07-04T16:50:00.001-07:00

NUS RAC 09 was a blast definitely! :) So glad I went for it! And I'm already suffering from post camp syndromes. Thought it was only three and a half days, it really felt like a week long because we hardly slept and activities ended around 4am on two nights. My og is so much fun! :D The girls are so nice to talk to, oh jie muis! While the guys just kept suaning me, but I had fun nevertheless! Night cycling, kayaking, pitching tents, campfire, the stupid ordin skit, the talking-to-my-SP-blindfolded every night, the revealing of SP, the confidence walk, the silly games and chou yi/er/san, the forfeits, the games, my cuiiii SP + goood friend's cuiiii SP cum my senior, slapping game was soooooooooooo much fun! :D We love HTHT too! (heart to heart talk) HAHA. Yanjia and I are known as HTHT buddies already. Sarah the swine ps-ed us and slept before we could have HTHT. The sunbaes are nice too. And we saw someone who looked super like ng joon hong and that was sooooooo funny! Made me laugh so much. Facebook notifications are spamming my inbox like crazy! I LOVE CAMP! :)

A brand new term

2009-06-28T08:46:00.000-07:00

It's the end of the june holidays for so many people! It'll be a brand new term for them tomorrow. I'm excited for them! :D I love the feeling of seeing friends in school, eating good food from the canteen that you miss eating after a month of holiday, talking to teachers, going for lectures and tutorials with friends, funny incidents in class, PE, co pracs etcetc. I miss school and my friends!

Tomorrow's going to be a busy day meeting gracechan, meeting kahkeow, meeting ndp pple for dance prac and packing for camp (tues-fri) so don't miss me! I miss chongkahyan now even though I just met her just now for a short while and we headed to the flea. Oh my tian. Very very stuffy and hot. We shall never go to a flea ever again! Heat stroke! It was a good experience though and we had a pretty good laugh when we saw the KOI cafe person! HAHAHA.

Goodnight! :)

$$$ not enough

2009-06-26T06:33:00.000-07:00

I completed stage four of driving. YAY! :) Wo hen kai xin! Mohan lookalike passed me for my mock even though I really screwed it up badlyyyyyy! I mounted the curb you know, which means immediate failure but he overlooked it. Awesumz right? I did a series of mistakes which made me quite demoralised after lesson, which includes, forgetting to change to the left lane after right turn (LANE DISCIPLINE, saleh will say), didn't position car properly before U-turn, failing to check blindspot, failing to signal before moving out of parking lot etccc. And all these took place after my instructor said, "YOU FORGOT TO CHECK RIGHT BLIND SPOT". Wahh shucks. I totally blanked out after that!! Luckily circuit was pretty alright. :)

Auto lesson ystd night was way fun!!!:D Instructor Chua is nice! :D I love talking to instructors and when they share stuffs it's usually quite funny. Auto is easy! I love speeding! :D I'm born to race, HA HA HA! And my car happened to stop next to my uncle's one at the traffic light so I was super high when I saw my uncle, aunt and cousin. :D :D Anyway, I'm troubled by the available driving test dates now. Earliest one would be 12august. Sigh. School would have started by then. HOW? And revision lessons. HOW?

Shopping with sarah for camp stuffs after that. Wet wipes, FBT, cotton on shorts, sandals etc. Was fun! :) And we had good wanton noodles. I happened to meet wanchien too and oh my tiannn I'm really very happy for her! :D Baptism on the 12 of july! Awesumz!! :D MEET UP MEET UP! We need to catch up! Movie will the cell ystd was funnyyy! The movie was not bad! Thumbs up. And i love munching on popcorns, super shiok! :D

&&!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE BEST DAD EVER! xD

Everyday can be legendary, every minute an endless surprise :)

2009-06-24T07:21:00.000-07:00

The week started off great! :) I like the feeling of being so drained by the end of the day then when I lie on my bed I'll doze off in less than five minutes. HAHA. I like it! On monday, stella and I explored haji lane! We managed to browse through all the cool shops in an hour, FAST RIGHT. And managed to resist the temptation of buying anything, even though they're really cool. We saw quite a number of stuffs from SASSY too. HAHA. Should just totally bring the shop over from taiwan. And i love mondays because there's cell group, it's something I look forward to a lot! Tuesday was the start of my part time job at Great Eastern. What an experience! Thank God for tb! Her presence really made me a lot of happier and relax. YAY! Our boss is pretty nice too cause he buys food back for us. HAHA. And the office looks way nicer than ST, definitely! No more work for me this week! :D I met up with ninamon too for a subway cookie + catching up + talking about uni and stardust and a lot of stuffs. HAHA. Today I met up with kahyanrocking and leonyyyyy!!!! :D :D :D Leony's back! But I only stayed for a very very short while. CELLOBASS outing in a few weeks time yes? I'm booking my driving test on fri. Woohoo! I'm almost done with stage four and I really really like all my instructors! They make me very happy when they can remember my name and they can remember my face. HAHA. Today I saw Saleh! :) He's very funny la, but I think duqian's right, he really shouldn't be in charged of the warm ups. I met Mohan lookalike too and he waved to me from the car. So funny. I'm driving auto tomorrow. EXCITINGZXZ!

the greatest love

2009-06-21T07:01:00.000-07:00

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY to my dear dear dear ah die! <3

Got accepted into kent ridge hall and I've accepted the offer. YAY! :) Had a talk with my parents about this and they kept saying, "don't go la!" And after a longgggg talk my dad just kept saying, "okay if i'm on leave i'll go fetch your bro and you home to stay", even if it's on a very random weekday. I know my dad really misses us. I know. So sometimes, I really have the thought of just giving up on hall life but a part of me really wants to experience this, at least for a year! :D So, kent ridge, here I come! :D Another thing to rejoice, DUQIAN got into the same block as me! And nina got into kr too! I hope sijia makes it in too! and Sueanne! :D

Driving tomorrow! I CAN DO IT! I must really stop mounting the curb, stop rolling back on slopes, stop stalling the car and stop driving dangerously.

NDP ystd at floating platform was quite fun!! :) There's free milo!!! :D Haha. Thank God I didn't get sunburnt. Not so easy okay. Got home really late but it was pretty enjoyable! Looking forward to next week.

Sarah and I are going for NUS Rovers camp! Today we went to look for alan sunbae (HAHAHA) at Raffles city. We're going to be brave and adventurous and just go for it! It's in nine days time. Pretty excited! And we got silly gifts for our secret pal, even though I'm really not looking forward to playing that game. D:

Anyway today we had cell after service. I don't know why but whatever discussed felt like something heavy weighed upon my heart. It's got nothing to do with anyone, just myself I guess. Finally I'm reminded of why I joined NDP. Been focusing too much on the wrong stuffs. I hope to do a better job from next week onwards. Jiayou ba!

One funny photo taken at taiwan airport! :)

Nobody nobody but chiuuu!

2009-06-17T06:47:00.000-07:00

LONG TIME NO BLOG! So I'm back to blog! This is kinda late but.. STELLA PASSED HER DRIVING!!!! :D And I had the best driving lesson last thursday. It was so enjoyable because I could conquer all the different courses in the circuit successfully! :D And mr suan-er was impressed! Haha. But he said I'm a dangerous driver on the road. Teehee. Anyway, vertical parking is sooooooo much fun!!! :) I love the poles and full locks and return back three quarters and ensuring safety check and checking side mirrors etcetc. Busy but fun! :) And I saw yahui! We were both using the same slot to practice vertical parking. So it was pretty stressful because your friend is looking!!! But mr suan-er taught well, so, coolzxz! Driving tomorrow again. I'm a bit scared now after not stepping on the clutch, accelerator and brake for a week. Gah. D:

Met up with val today for shopping! And I got my boys before flowers piano scorebook! :D :D So ex okay hence I conclude that I'm an impulsive buyer. But I really really want to master the songs, like, Because I'm Stupid or Stand By Me or Almost Paradise.. :D Haha. Ystd met kristine and clarice and wisma and I managed to find them at Forever 21. I'm a genius. HAHA. Anyway, they had so much fun la, sleepover is definitely fun!!! :D Went for job interview at Great Eastern, and there's job training tomorrow after outing with XBLs! I really miss XBLs!! :D

Oh yeah, I met up with kahyanrocking and graciemoonie on mon for astons and we caught Blood-The Last Vampire. It was alright, the graphics weren't very real but some parts were quite scary. We screamed quite a lot! HAHA. I think everyone in the theatre wanna punch us. But it's kahyanrocking's fault la! She freaks out at the slightest things and she screamed into my ears! We roamed around PS and had so much fun at etude house painting our nails, DELETING them away and painting them again!! :D Dudu and I met up with Mr ng last week to catch up and I think he got a shocked when we asked him out. HAHA. We had quite a lot of fun and ate tao huay! The one the exco went to eat last year! :) Shopping at bugis with duqian after that and she bought a lot of things!! Shopping queen!!

Met up with yanzhen and sarah last wed too to have lunch at mos burger and catch up! You can't imagine how high we got when we started talking about GU JUNPYO and JIHOO SUNBAE and YIJUNG SUNBAE, the bbf scenes etcetc. :D :D And yanzhen came all the way to amk hub!!! :D She finally step foot into the most happening heartland in Singapore! Awesumz! :) Anyway, we should go jurong point next time, as promised. And meet up with more S24 friends! I miss them all.

NDP training is getting better! :) Honestly, I'm feeling excited for NDP! Thank God for this excitement in me! At least I'm not dreading and upset that my saturdays are gone, which also means not being able to go for co picnic! ): And my bro & dad's bday celebration this sat at my aunt's place! ): But it's okay :)

Lastly, HURRAY, Ninamon's back from UK! :)

Friends, let's meet up before uni starts!
SAY YES! :D

It's JUNE!

2009-06-04T18:26:00.000-07:00

Oh my tian can you believe it, it's already JUNE! Our holidays are coming to an end real soon! I LOVE HOLIDAYS!!!

Anyway, the past week has been great! :D NDP on sat was good man, except I can't do the dance properly. I'm robotic! But I had fun at sentosa :) S04 class outing was pathetic! Only me mel sijia shanly kellie turned up! But it was great catching up! Girl talk! HAHA. And we shared quite a lot of stuffs! I managed to book two driving lessons, both of which I had lots of fun because stella had lesson at the same time and we saw each other during driving! I miss partygirl! :) Anyway, there were a few times when our cars were in front of one another and we also drove pass each other and also met at the directional change part! (But I didn't notice, I was too into directional change. Stressful okay!) OH YEAH, DUDU PASSED HER DRIVING! :D CONGRATS! YOU DID XBLs PROUD! We love you!!!!!! Hahaha.

Met up with guanying and fellow colleagues on monday for lunch, ba kut teh! :D And then it was window shopping with kahyan and grace in town. Kahyanrocking did her nails and now she's a purple monster! Off to stnicks on tues with twinnie but we couldn't get into school because of the swine outbreak, sigh. So subway at amk hub (we were on budget haha) and met mel to go to NJ to collect sgc! (FRIENDS, HURRY GO COLLECT YOUR SGC AT THE LIBRARY!) We met the noodles stall aunty and Ah Boon miss her so muchie! We relaxed at island cremery because the weather was unbearable. Haha. It felt so good just chatting with mel and sijia! I miss mel and sijia a lot a lot! Long bus journey back home with mel was shiok too! It has been quite a while since we did this! :D

A good daughter like me lunched with my lao ba at dino before meeting kahyanrocking! I took the circle line you know! :) NICE! Shopping at bugis and I bumped into Yanjia Meinu! :D Small small world! Retail therapy work wonders yessss and my legs are aching! Bro's coming back form cambodia today, HURRAY! :D :D I'm treating my family to dinner tomorrow, goodwood park hotel - teochew porridge and durian buffet woolala. I know I'm a cheapo! Tomorrow's treat is a combination of mother's day + father's dad + dad's bday + bro's bday treat! Not bad la, one stone kill four birdies! :D

Picnic time, ciao!

2009-05-29T09:06:00.003-07:00

I'M BACK! :D TRIP TO TW AND HK WAS SUPER DUPER FUN! :D We had so much fun dressing up as rockers and partygirls in tw and became xiangbalaos in hongkong, got attacked by some woman outside disneyland, gave really pathetic tips to the porters, got damn high in our hotel, watched yu le bai fen bai and partyboy was damn funny, watched the same mvs over and over again, sang the same songs over and over again, ate lu rou fan many times, supper at night, taking lots of jump shots, having talks about guys at night HAHA (eh heart to heart talks k), calling our parents at night, waking up really early in taiwan and waking up really late in hongkong because the bed was super comfortable, taking turns to bathe, getting damn excited examining the stuffs we bought, basically enjoying one another's company. I'll blog in details next time. Got so much to say actually. This was one of the funnier pictures during the space mountain ride in disneyland! :D Haha.

PRODUCTIVE!

2009-05-19T09:08:00.000-07:00

Today, I was productive!

1)Driving-completed stage 2 lesson 15&16. And I got one of my favourite instructors today and he asked really weird questions like, "if you have 200dollars, what will you buy?". He continued talking about his soccer practices and how much his thighs are aching and how much he loves the aching feeling. Quite funny! I still stalled my car, which is so saddening la. And I couldn't engage my gear properly. And someone horned at me! SIGH!

2)Made chocolate truffles with Ninamon!
We managed to find phoon huat and got ingredients! :) Diary milk, butter, Semi sweetened choc, coco powder. We had so much fun melting the chocolate, boiling it with butter and diary milk, mixing it well till it turns really really thick and dark brown, freezing it, molding it into really cute balls, coating it and finally tasting the fruit of our labour, which was damn damn damn awesome! :D We made 170chocolate truffles! My family loved it so much and my mum's gonna kope some to the office and share with her colleagues! Oh my tian! I think we're so talented! HAHAHAHA. And we did a lot of planning about uni life, eg.checking up on the various halls, LPP and camps. I'm really excited about uni and Ninamon's right, I'm going to start it off with the right attitude this time.

3)Chose my uni, FINALLY!!!!! :D And I think it's where God wants me to go! Not where the world wants me to go. And no matter what, I'm going to fix my eyes on Jesus! The world is not going to rob away the peace that I have in me. I'm going to believe, going to trust, place my faith in Him. :D It was such a struggle initially, like suddenly all the different opinions are thrown right at you, I struggled to listen to the right voice, but I think God is really good! He blessed me with the right people to speak to me, to advice me, to remind me that it's between me and God. Just me and God. :)

4)Got my NDP form signed! Thank God! :D

Anyway, ystd was real fun with graciemoonie and kahyanrocking! HAHA. I had a great time! :D Xin wang for lunch was soooo nice and we had so much fun laughing! I SAW MARK LEE and his wife and their baby! :D Stunned diao for a while, HAHA. Eh you don't see a celebrity everyday okay! We watched ANGELS AND DEMONS and oh my tian la, kahyanrocking and I don't understand almost everything! We were simply guessing who the bad guy was by spotting whoever has the bad guy face! Anyway, I was pretty accurate! Kahyanrocking kept screaming at unnecessary parts and grabbed graciemoonie! HAHA. So funny.

Cell group was great! WE HAD A ROMANTIC TIME at cathay open area and a ROMANTIC dinner at pizza hut! HAHA. :D

I'M SUPER EXCITED FOR TW&HK TRIP! I'm gonna pack tmrw! And charge my camera and make sure I buy all the necessary things and bring medication and masks and my passport and a lot more stuffs! Pray for safety! It's quite scary for three girls to roam around tw&hk, really pray for a safe trip! :D

Flight at 8.30am, 21st May.

BYE EVERYONE! HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
:D

BBF

2009-05-15T01:02:00.000-07:00

Yay! I've completed boys before flowers on wednesday! I really like Geum Jan Di's character! It's much better than Bella from twilight who's super weak. Bleah! Anyway, it's a great show. I'll give it five out of five popcorns! :D I loveeee the OST! :D So so so awesome and I can't believe T-max and SS501 sang quite a number of songs from the OST = Ji hoo and Woobin are part of it! Hahaha. My aunt and I were discussing about the show like crazy and she thinks we should get one another the star+moon necklace. JlovesJ = Jiawen loves Jiahui = Jiahui loves Jiawen. HAHA. Makes sense yeah! Hurray to GJD because I think a girl like her deserves happy endings! Now I understand why so many people like Ji Hoo..!! It's so difficult to not like him. He's such a great friend! :) Gu Jun Pyo's still the best though! HAHA, sijia can understand how crazy I am and she can't see how awesome the almighty GJY is. NVMD. Okay I shall stop gushing over GJP! :)

I definitely enjoyed this more than goong! :D :D :D A lot more!

Okay back to the real world!

Driving rocks! :D
I met a super funny instructor on tuesday! He was such an easy person to talk to and he passes really funny comments like, "Eh you must relax! Imagine you're driving along the beach in California looking at hunks.." and things like. "You know when you go out with a guy you must let the guy pay because.." and even things like, "I like to play soccer with my friends. I think soccer players have nice muscles and I like to maintain my hot bod."

Then I will give really weird expressions and laugh until I cannot take it. And forgot to do a lot of things like check blind spots, signal, change gear etc! Sometimes if I laugh too hard I'll even let go of the steering wheel! Ah.

Today's lesson was pretty funny too. Moving off slopes so the instructor brought me to the practice area, which is along avenue two, next to stnicks! :D Stnicks still looks so nice! Haha. Okay anyway my instructor says I'm a pretty safe driver okay! YAY. And for once I didn't roll back! But I still stalled my car! Sigh. This instructor is quite se4! He kept telling me about how he likes to stare at japanese ladies and he enjoyed the unisex hot spring in japan. I was like ohmytian-ing in my mind when he told me about japanese ladies throwing themselves at him. But he's a nice person, with two lovely daughters :)

I'm gonna start packing my bag soon! :D Trip in 6days!!! I'm feeling really excited now! Next week's gonna be really fun. Movies, ketchup with friends, baking chocolate truffles with ninamon, bbf marathon with sijia (if the plan is on), and OFF WE GO TO HK and TW! :D

Exciting times, Thank God for it all! Holdiays are finally starting to really feel like holidays! And apart from that, I need to start deciding which of the three unis to go. I'm really quite confused and try my best not to think about it. I can't believe this is it. Our future is in our hands. But I'm thankful for the choices available and a whole lot of support from the chong family! Let Your will be done!

God bless ya all! :)

><

2009-05-11T08:47:00.000-07:00

YO! :)

Fifth driving lesson today was OKAY. It was not oh-my-tian-super-fun-la that kind because the instructor was wayyyyy tooooooo quiet! He says nothing except "turn left", "okay signal now", "okay change gear", "brake!", "you brake too late", "control the clutch!" yada yada. You get it la. So there were long periods of extreme quietness that even the sound of me signalling sounds extremely thundering! And I had to squeeze my brain juice and crap up with silly conversations like, "The weather very hot today" to engage my instructor but he'll simply reply, "Ya. Very bright." So it was quite difficult when his replies were short and doesn't allow me to continue much. I tried crapping something like, "Oh! Can you ride motorbike?" cause I was quite interested by them and he'll give me a one word reply like, "Ya." HAHA!

Thank God my parents were on leave today and guess what! They tailgated me today! They managed to find their cuckoo tensed up daughter grabbing super tightly to the steering wheel concentrating a 100% on the road in car number 71. :D HAHA. And I was quite shocked and amused when I saw them! They saw me stall my car too. Which was quite paiseh la! Anyway, I'm good at sharp turns now! :D :D No more mounting of curb! Hurray!

Oh yeah, I got into SMU! :D Haha. God is just amazing! Just when I've given up hope on SMU, not just me, but my parents and bro also, an email popped into my junk mail today and the moment I saw it, oh my tian, God is so faithful. :) Somehow I think God is amazing because at the point whereby I've given up hope, He gave me new hope. Okayzxz it's a long story anyway. I don't want to elaborate here.

TIRED!

Five more episodes of boys before flowers! D:

Goodnight! :D

The start of something new!

2009-05-05T08:26:00.000-07:00

Finally bought our travel insurance today! :D 15days to taiwan&hongkong trip! Big yay! Second day of retirement and I'm really enjoying myself! :D Been able to do things that I've been dying to do for a long long time.. like, read a book, listen to music, watch the world go by, LEARN DRIVING!!! HAHA.

Driving is super fun!!! :D First lesson was so fun! Oh yeah anyway, SSCD has temperature taking implemented. So duqian, please hurry get well before friday! :) I got a lucky car number 88 for my first lesson! :) LUCKY NUMBER RIGHT! So auspiscious! Anyway, it was raining that day and I couldn't find my car. So sua ku. I was walking in the rain with my umbrella like some auntie round and round the parking areas and luckily this nice guy helped me searched for my car! :D The instructor was nice! Quite crappy and he laughed quite a lot. I crapped a lot with him. First lesson was a lot on explaining the different buttons and all in the car. I realised my legs are SHORT. When I say short, I really mean short k! I had to adjust my sit all the way to the front. And I had to adjust the sit UP so that I can see the road. front & up, you get it la. Adjust mirrors, rear mirrors, seat :) Then the instructor asked me to adjust the seat upright by lifting the lever at the right hand side of the seat. I randomly lifted whatever I thought was the right lever and instead of adjusting my seat, the boot flew openned! HAHAHA. I laughed so so so hard and the instructor also laughed. Poor him had to go out and slam the boot back and I tried adjusting my seat again. :D

SUCCESSFUL this time round. Drove around the circuit and my left leg ached so much. THE EVIL CLUTCH! And I had so much fun laughing at other cars because their engine stalled. And the car JUMPED! Haha! It was a funny sight. But I also stalled mine la! (but once only!) Haiyah! I took 10seconds to feel the biting point, which is super slowwww! And I kept getting distracting by other cars. I tend to look at them and drive in their direction, i.e. I almost drove right into them. My instructor had to keep grabbing my steering wheels!

Second lesson today! :D Had a super duper nice instructor and he taught super well!!! Again, I couldn't find my car. D: Car number 24! Anyway, the instructor taught me how to feel the biting point hence I take around 5-7seconds to get the car going, AN IMPROVEMENT k! :D And my turning is getting better! :D Left turn. Right turn still sucks. Oh yeah, the instructor says I'm a pretty fast learner okay! YAYYY. -.- okay stop dreaming audreychong. I scared some learners in the circuit today, because I turned into their lane and they got scared and their car stalled. HAHA. So funny. And I almost knocked a pedestrian cause I checked right, but forgot to check left, my instructor had to press the emergency brake for me. I stalled my car 5times! D: Anyway, I think he rocks! :) I hope to meet him again! And he remembers my name k!!! :D I know my name is cool. HAHA.

SYF tomorrow! :) Exciting!!! Oh yeah, went to SCH to watch the junior's second rehearsal. I MISS SYF and everyone that was part of it!!!! The feeling was back as I watched them perform their choice piece and set piece. JIAYOU everyone! Fighting~! HAHA.

EPISODE 12 of boys before flowers is loveeeee!!! :D :D :D I'm trying my best to watch really really slowwwwlyyyyyy. Anyway, I've got the entire OST 1 :) Which makes me really really happy and I set those songs as my msg tone, ring tone and 5 alarm tones! :)

Time to say goodbye

2009-05-01T06:38:00.000-07:00

Yesterday was my last day working at ST Electronics. I went to the office at 7.30am and hid the four huge cushions we bought for Aunty maureen&carol&ann&esther. They're super cute!! Haha. And each of it represent these people, they do have a special meaning behind it okay! LOOK!! :D (too lazy to rotate it, you guys tilt your heads okay)

Anyway, we went to amk hub for lunch and ate at Ah mei's. My prata took an awfully long time to be done and I think their teh ping's nice!! :D The tea smell is very strong, I LIKE! After lunch, grace and I felt really weird back in the office while doing work. My heart was pumping very quickly, and I felt very nervous. I don't know why. Grace says it's the same feeling as when we were about to receive our Alevel results. Never felt like this before. We had long self declared breaks in the toilet where guanying, grace and I will end up talking and talking and talking, discussing about uni courses etc. It was a really nice long talk! :) During break at 3pm we went around giving our colleagues our gifts. SOYJOY for the not-so-close ones. BOSS CUP for the nice second boss. CAT POUCH for jenny. GOODIES for guanying. BISCUITS for the security guard uncles + potato head security uncle + potato head warehouse uncle + warehouse uncles + Darls. HAHAHAHA. CUSHION for our extremely nice and caring mentors! :DD I hope they'll think of us whenever they see those cushions.

I embarassed myself infront of graciemoonie AGAIN! Nvmd la, I think she's used to me being stupid infront of her so it's okay. I cried when the lift door closed, I think it's because of guanying and her expression and the second time when Aunty carol called to tell us to take good care of ourselves. Her voice and her "OEI" just triggered my tear glands. I was laughing and crying, it was quite funny. According to Aunty Maureen, we made guanying cry too. Oh mian. Oh yeah side track a bit, I dreamt of Na na jie, guanying and michael toh ystd! HAHA.

Honestly, Grace and I haven't learnt much at ST, work wise = zero. Except, we're pros at sorting, tabulating, labelling, photocopying and facebooking during work now. But we've learnt a lot about the working world, the different types of colleauges, their working attitude, office politics, how to deal with supervisors and bosses, what to say and what not to, relationships. It has been a good five months actually and I really thank God for it. :) It was definitely God planned.

We went all the way to JE for clearance, oh my tian. It was such a long and horrible journey! Our legs were so suan after that and jurong looks really ugly. D: Haha. There's something wrong with me and jurong.

Anyway, GRACE CHAN IF YOU EVER SEE THIS,

thank you so much for accompanying me every single day at work! I tell you, I really really appreciate your presence and all your crap because you always never fail to make me laugh! And I think I got influenced by you already, because I'm starting to wake up EARLY everyday now! But I still tend to be late! TEEHEE. Thanks for tolerating all my nonsense, my moodswings, my screwed up words, my "let's go toilet", and me acting stupid all the time. You're one great friend! :D

I hope guanying will enjoy her remaining two months at ST and do well for FOS interview on wed. :) We'll definitely visit them soon.

I'll really miss things like this.

tonight, tonight..

2009-04-29T08:37:00.001-07:00

I just finished watching an episode of boys before flowers. Gu Jun Pyo never fails to make me laugh! :D Haha. Anyway, today's the second last day of work. Second big boss treated us to sakura for lunch, he's such a nice guy! And all six of us squeezed into his car! So fun! We ate so much and gracie moonie went crazy over her all time favourite sashimi! She ate so much so much so much sashimi! :D HAHA. Oooh, and I tried almost all the niang re dishes. Wahahaha, didn't disappoint yue niang! :D And for once, today we left office at 6.08pm. We usually start packing our bags at 5.50pm but today we were a tad bit more hardworking! :) Anyway, I think we did a great job labelling the boxes for the different platforms. They're so neat please!!!! :D

Went to plaza sing after that and on the train we were harrassing mafia king and his woman and that nicholas's friend who super looked like nicholas to me. And in the office, Darls keeps harrassing me! HAHAHA. Okay inside joke la. I'm really glad tmrw will be the last day I'll ever get to see Darls. Hopefully I'll have plenty of luck and not bump into Darls at all! We bought cushions for our super duper nice mentors! :) The cushions are so cute! Actually I was so tempted to splurge on myself but cannot! Must save for taiwan & hk trip!

We went to surprise winnie at yamaha! :D HAHA. Winnie super pro la, she can actually sit at the desk from 10am to 9pm without internet access! I think grace and I will sink into depression if that happens.

THANKSGIVING!! I've got my letter from NUS! :D

Anyway, the swine flu incident is scaring me please! It's even worse than SARS, I can't believe it. It's like history is repeating itself but worse. I'm more worried for my daddy la and our overseas trip of course! D: Must buy masks! STOCK UP!

Okay goodnight, I'm waking up early to go to the office to hide the gifts from our colleages! I WILL NOT BE LATE! Haha. Oh man!!! Last day! We'll be going to JE for clearance in the evening.

Goodnight!

it's friday again

2009-04-24T06:17:00.000-07:00

Hello it's friday! TGIF! :) We love fridays. Woohoo. Haha, anyway, today was a pretty slack day (actually everyday's pretty slack la) but today's a bit more slack than usual cause the tech admin people went for meeting in the morning so I was free to do anything. Which means, I facebook-ed, played pets society, tried to clear my emails, listened to songs, walked around, talked to people, stoned and did a bit of work. I love pushing the trolley with tons of boxes to the CLO. Pretty cool la. And I ran out of luck yesterday and today, because I bumped into Mr Darlie many times which caused Grace and Guanying to laugh out loud. So paiseh. Everytime he pops out I just feel like digging a hole and burying my head deep deep down. Ugh, I don't like Darlie!

CLO has pretty cool people, like warrant pao and warrant neo! Grace and I thought that Warrant were theirs names but it's some sort of rank. Haha, quite cool la. And Ben pao junior is gonna ORD soon according to Aunty Carol. I thought that's pretty cool too. But office work during army life is kinda boring isn't it. Who will wanna work at ST la.

Oh yeah and Guanying shared some seriously funny story today about this guy and girl! Haha! I think it's funny!!! And totally oh my tian! ASK ME IF YOU WANNA KNOW ABOUT IT! I hope I see them around next week! :) Haha, so interesting!

Praise God! :) I got accepted into NTU! :) I know it's no biggy but to me, I feel that it's a blessing and God is definitely faithful. To those going for discretionary interview, don't worry k! :) Don't stress! I have faith that more offer letters are coming my way. :)

Another thing to thank God for! Bro got in the first round which is the interview part for youth flying club, there's checkup tomorrow. Hope he recovers from his flu! And these days I've been thinking quite a lot, and reading quite a bit, which resulted in me thinking quite a bit I guess. Whatever I'm reading now is actually starting to change my perspective, I hope it's good. Talk to me if you wanna know what I've been up to!! :D Haha, sometimes I'm just lazy to blog about what's really deep deep down in my heart la. There's no privacy sometimes when it comes to blogging.

Health is wealth! I just begin to really understand that. My grandma was admitted to the hospital last week because of kidney problem. The doctor suspected that she has kidney stones. We're waiting for her xray results. My dad has a nerve problem and it's not getting better. I'm quite worried actually. Because his muscles will suddenly tighten and he'll be in pain for while. It's affecting his arm. Another big boo. Mummy's got food poisoning and she's on mc today. Yes so friends, please take good care of yourselves!

I dreamt that I had two huge booklets of bio assignments to complete and an art project due! I almost died in my dream can because I was telling the person who told me I had to complete all this by the very next day, "I cannot! I haven't done bio since As! Cannot!" Haha. Chey, it was just a dream! :D

Oh yes, share my joy with me everyone! I PASSED MY FINAL THEORY! :D :D :D Big yay!

SO DRAMATIC! HAHAHA! :D
To every little good thing in life, Cheers!
Classic man!

all my random thoughts

2009-04-19T23:01:00.000-07:00

It's monday again, and I'm counting down to retirement! :D I seriously can't wait to get out of this yellow banana-fied building and get on with driving! I need a part time job too! Maybe you guys can find me at pepper lunch next time, HAHA. I'm considering that, if I can't get an ice-cream scooper job/some part time job at a kindergaden.

Grace took half day leave because she has got dental appointment. I'm bored! Facebook gets pretty boring after a while. Pig-a-lig is officially dying but I don't really care. HAHA.

Oh yes, yesterday, stella, duqian and I went to focal travel again to collect our air tickets! :D whoopeedoo. BIG SMILES! Haha. Our trip is confirmed! So we'll be away on the 21st to the 27th of may, off to taiwan (TOUCH YOUR HEART) and hongkong (AND I'LL CONTINUE ON MY QUEST-DISCOVERING THE BEST MILK TEA IN THE WORLD). Haha. Duqian's blog has a countdown timer, and it reads.. "30days to taiwan trip"! I'm super excited!! :D We more or less have the outline for our trip already, where to go and all, plus a day of city tour in taiwan and probably disneyland in hongkong. Yay! So now, I'm trying my best to resist ALL temptation from making impulsive and unnecessary purchases! Must save money and we'll splurge when we're overseas.

SMU econs interview was initially quite scary when we were in the waiting room. It was so quiet and everyone seemed so tensed up, especially when the guy led us into the lift. I wanted to laugh la cause everyone's expression was quite funny. So we sat in the conference room, opposite these two interviewers. The white guy was quite frightening because he kept rebutting us, shooting us with a lot of questions. But it was fun after the tension eased. It was more like a discussion. And I think the worse question was "Tell me what to do think about democracy?" I almosted fainted can!!! But somehow managed to smoke through. Anyway, made two new friends through the interview! Hui Yi and Doreen :) They're very nice people! :)

Why is the weather so hot these days! >.<

My bro went for his youth flying club interview! Let's hope he gets in even though he was so cuckoo to tell the interviewers he was more interested to fly commercially than to join the military. And thank God for his smartypants friend jonathan. I really can't help him with complex numbers! AH!

I feel like sleeping! It's only 2.18pm.

Tmrw's good friday pple!

2009-04-09T08:15:00.000-07:00

SMU SCHOOL OF ECONOMICS INTERVIEW NEXT FRIDAY, 17TH APRIL !!!
Oh my tian!
I'm really quite scared but duqian says I'll be high after that.
REALLY MEH! Haha.

Anyway, I kept dozing off for the past two days in the office while doing work. I think it's due to the late night conference with dudu and jifan. Haha. Makes me very very tired and I can even fall asleep while eating breakfast!

Mini S24 outing was fun! :D I still LOVE LOVE LOVE 07S24! :D It really contains many happy and funny memories! :D :D Anyway, it was great seeing singhui joannah shangfei jipeng yanjia :) Everyone's doing fine and I'm so glad. We were supposed to have steamboat but ended up eating fish and co! I think it's because jipeng wanted it and we being so very nice people fulfilled his wish. Anyway, he's gonna be enlisted soon. Let's be nice la. Oh yah! Fish and co has this very nice waitress and she's so cool because I think she's a malay but her chinese is good!! :D So zai right! And I got an ang moh to take a pic of us! :)

God is good, all the time!
Tmrw's good friday! :D :D
Approach it with the correct attitude and heart!

2009-04-07T07:33:00.000-07:00

It's a small small world! :)

Today, a new temp girl walked into office and I was stunned because she was guan ying, from nj 07S17 co dizi player, haha if you didn't know!! Small world isn't it? She's under a different boss but her boss is definitely much nicer than ours. Anyway, we sorted four platforms of documents. VHF and SECURE to go tomorrow! Super a lot please! Guanying is easy to talk to, and she shared a lot too. Her terrence incident was funny la! :D

And I still think my boss is mean today. She kinda spoilt my day.
Nvmd.

16days! Go go go!

Dogs, you scare me no more!

2009-04-05T03:24:00.000-07:00

HELLO YESTERDAY I MANAGED TO OVERCOME MY FEAR OF DOGS AND I NEED TO BLOG ABOUT IT BECAUSE IT IS A SUPER HUGE ACCOMPLISHMENT, TO ME AT LEAST! :D I even carried mui mui and took picture with it! He is so cute!!! :D Yay! I'm not afraid of small dogs already but I think I'm still scared of large ones! Mui mui is really cute!!!! :D I totally love the way he shakes his butt, and he's so fat and has short legs! Wahahaha!

My legs are aching like crazy! Super suan and painful that I have a super hard time trying to even bend down because of yesterday the cell played badminton!! :D I feel healthy!

Had family gathering at my place yesterday. Pot luck and bbq and durian feast! :D My dad cooks awesome stingray! As good as chompchomp's. We call it chongchong's! Haha. My aunt told me a lot of incidents that happened during her night shifts in the hospital and my cousins and I got all scared! Haha! My bro mahjong-ed with our relatives and he won 2bucks plus! So lame! They played for a zillion hours and he won so little! Oh yah, my throat hurts! I think I'm going to fall sick soon.

I'm researching for good tour packages to taiwan! If you guys know any, please tell me!!! :D I'm looking forward to our taiwan trip! Yay! It'll be a great experience going with friends! :D

i've been so encouraged

2009-04-02T09:45:00.001-07:00

For the past two days, I've been soo soooo sooooo encouraged by a lot of people around me! :) Dinner with nina at soup spoon was great and we talked so much that our food turned damn cold! But I was really encouraged by what she said and she showed me evidences that the bible is truly the inspired word of God! Got to find the book signature of God soon! :D Anyway, it felt good having that long long talk with miss yong kwai hoong! I only intended to ask her a few questions but we ended up talking about a lot of stuffs. Yayy! Super encouraged by her too! I need to start dealing with a lot of matters about myself now. AND clarice!!! :D WOWW!!! It's already close to 1am but chatting with her on msn makes me feel very happy! :D Cause I'm really happy for her and very encouraged by her. See la! People around me are encouraging me so much, super overwhelming!!! I love it!

I had a great night today. My fingers are soooo painful from practicing my guitar. I don't like chords! But my whole family gathered in my room to sing worship songs, which was oh my tian, so amazing la! I see God moving! :)

I love this picture! :) I think it's so cool and pretty and it brings back happy memories! Class outing to east coast after As. It was our first ever class outing (oh my tian, yesss!!!) and I suppose it's our very last one too, till maybe many thousand donkey years later/if some nice enthu person decides to organise another outing! HAHA. Definitely looking forward to another one, even if we'll all be meeting again when we're in our sixties or something. That's not too bad right, because we'll all be senior citizens. AND. Senior citizens got BUS CONCESSION, which makes travelling cheap! AND. Senior citizens can purchase cheap movie tickets! :D WOW. Not a bad idea indeed.

Anyway, I miss school!

I don't like working! Really! Yvonne and Grace left today. ): We attempted to zi pai in the toilet and experienced a couple of heart attacks because our colleagues would suddenly come into the toilet and we had to hide the camera phone. Security reasons! So we had our break we them and at 3pm they left for JE for clearance. We'll be meeting them in a month's time again though, woohoo! :) For dinner! To celebrate our retirement! :D

21 days counting! Go go go!

I've spent 800bucks booking practical lessons. My netts is totally crying out for help! I need my march pay asap!

Anyway, one thing I really want to thank God for is the peace that I've been experiencing ever since I chose to surrender my rights to decide what future I want. That night when I chose to surrender, it was a very powerful feeling that moved in my heart and I felt very very happy after that. I saw God's big big BIG hand and it really gave me all the comfort I needed. God is good and His love endures forever. :)

I hope my friends will be less stressed about uni. All the best to those writing essays and going for interviews! BE CONFIDENT! :D and smileeeeee!

Anyway, there are some things that I wanna do! Very random!
1)Watch confessions of a shopaholic
2)Finish boys before flowers all in one shot
3)Start on breaking dawn
4)Get my hands on "I kissed dating goodbye" so that I can start on "boy meets girl"
5)Meet up with cheryl, sijia, shuyu, stella, duqian, all of click five and many many more!!!
6)Go on a holiday! :D

Meeting ninamon tomorrow! :D &&&& i hope i can make it for S24 outing on sat! Dear friends, please turn up!

Pet society

2009-03-27T07:20:00.001-07:00

Pet society rocks! :D Today grace and I were on facebook the entire day while at work. I was bringing pig-a-lig around visiting friends and their pets and I realised I'm such a noob! It feels like neopets but more alive, and not as fun as maple. I love maple and I really miss mapling with my friends. Sec three days were fun man! :D Seriously crazy, but fun! Anyway, my eyes are cocky now and I'm 90% brain dead. I'll be a good sis and mug complex tomorrow if I've got the time and help my bro with it. :)

Jap lunch was pretty good today and we spent a lot. And we took cab back to the office and the meter didn't even jump! That's how near our office was! Haha.

I've got a date with my aunts tomorrow morning for breakfast at ya kun, outing with val after that a home visitation with gracie moonie to miss tan's place, lastly family dinner at xin wang cafe! :) Goodness, I love tomorrow! :)

I've got to go now,
MY SPECIAL DATE WITH RAYMOND! :)
woohoo!

Uni applications

2009-03-25T07:37:00.000-07:00

HELLO, EVERYONE'S BUSY WITH UNI APPLICATIONS, UNI APPLICATIONS AND UNI APPLICATIONS! D: How sad! I see my friends around me getting stressed and vexed by uni, uni, uni. Uni is the root of all evil. Haha. Anyway, I've submitted mine to nus and ntu, and I'm not even trying for smu because there's no point since nothing there interests me. So I'm going with nus and ntu! :D I commit this into God's hands. His big and mighty, strong and powerful hands! Hurray! Everything's going to be fine. :)

My brother bombarded me with complex number questions just now D: I almost died! So I called my wonderful friend Miss Du for help and wa-la! The question was solved. :)

I passed final theory trial last saturday with the help of my daddy and Miss Du. Because I was messaging them half the time whenever I didn't know/wasn't sure of the answer. I passed, I passed!!! But I cheated. Haha. Final theory next month :D Must mug hard and do Gracie Moonie's 600qns ftt book :D Thou Shalt Ace It Yo!

Click Five went for Sakae Sushi Buffet at ulufied Tanjong Pagar. We had such a hard time finding Sakae which was at Icon, which was next to a temple! Haha. We couldn't find the temple and walked in the wrong direction. It was really funny and we had to call up to ask the people at Sakae where they were located. But the GREAT and SMART us found it after that and ordered a lot a lot A LOT of food! I think we've been blacklisted at Sakae! There were so much to eat and the waitress had to even put our orders on another table because it was seriously way too overwhelming. So we laughed and talked and laughed and talked as usual. :) Jieying wanted to have tea after that but we ended up settling down at some really nice sofa area! :) The sitting place was so huge and comfy, our butts just loved it so much that we ended up talking about the good old times :) We never seem to get tired of repeating past stories :) And ended up laughing a lot a lot a lot while Jieying and Gracie Moonie were both on the verge of falling asleep because they sleep really early every night!!! Oh my tian. Early sleep-ers. I think only Minghwei, Winnie and I were pretty high :) So we were talking about class chalet, overseas trip and another gathering, preferably ASAP! :D SNG friends forever!! <3

Work has been... I don't know what to say. It's just too much to say. If you want to know what major stuffs happened two days ago, ask me! Anyway, for those who roughly knew what happened, WE'RE STAYING ON.. :) And probably going to be more guai la, for instance, talking less, try not to fall asleep, be more hardworking.. We'll try la :) Okay jiayou! One month to go before RETIREMENT! :D Me can't wait! :D

I'm so slow. 1,2,3,4 is a great song :) Go listen!

off we gooooooo!

2009-03-17T02:21:00.000-07:00

I love pictures from simplylovely :D Anyway, I will be gone for co camp tonight till tomorrow! :D Don't miss me! And to those who messaged me or called or tried to jio me out for lunch/dinner/kopi teh-c so that you could make me feel better, I AM FINE!!! :D Very good in fact, but nevertheless, I appreciate it a lot.

Yesterday night was crazy though. I haven't felt so kanchiong in such a long time. I like the oh-my-tian-I-am-stress feeling actually. POSITIVE STRESS! :)

Lenka has a superbly nice and cute song. :)
I'm just a little bit
caught in the middle
Life is a maze
and love is a riddle
I dont know where to go
I can't do it alone
(I've tried)
and I don't know why

I am just a little girl
lost in the moment
I'm so scared
but don't show it
I can't figure it out
it's bringing me down
I know
I've got to let it go
and just enjoy the show

NUS OPEN HOUSE was fun :) NUS subway has nice subway cookies because they're super hard, not the soft chewy type. But the traditional typical hard ones. I love it! But kahyan hates it. :D And there's 20% discount, oh my tian. I shall feed on subway if I enter NUS. If. Open house makes me happy because I get to see people I haven't met for a long long time. Haha. Anyway, I met grace chan, winnie soh and tan jie ying. :D When I saw jie ying I was seriously high! And I dragged her all the way to where grace and winnie were sitted at. I didn't stay for the FOS talk though. Kahyan went round the booths with me and I had such a hard time understanding some of the profs. It was fun talking to the students too. Eg. Michelle whom I terribly wanted to siam away from but I didn't eventually. And this year 3 chem student was quite funny! I think she'll make a fantastic chem teacher in the future. She has that aura! :D

G12 conference from thursday to saturday was a great experience for me too. I initially thought I would be dreading it, especially when I've got to travel from home to expo for three days consecutively. But I didn't. In fact, I looked forward to it. I did. And God worked a lot in my heart during those days. I need to get started on my reflection asap! Oh yeah, being part of the hospitality team was a oh-man-i-love-it experience too! :) We should do this more often yo. And I'm so thankful for the pastors, the cell group and everyone who had a part to play in it! (including delirious?) :D

Okay, duqian better whack me if I doze off tonight. We're supposed to be watching huan zhu ge ge using mr ng's laptop after night trail. Haha. Speaking of night trail, I miss last year's co camp!! And this year, duqian is going to be the ghost again. I really hope I don't freak out. Last year I really freaked out in the toilet but it was so so so fun! :D

I can't wait to get my hands on the kueh lapis grace chan is bringing back from batam. YUMMM.. :)

Give Thanks!

"We tend to focus on the bad things that have happened to us or worry about the negative possibilities ahead. But just as suddenly and quickly as a bad thing can happen, something wonderful can happen. We can be blessed at the most unexpected moments, but we're never waiting, focusing or hoping for that. Instead we're either waiting for or trying to avoid the bad."

I think the above is so true and I really love the above picture as well. It feels as though good things are about to descend. Friday was really one of the most traumatising day but I really thank God for it. I thank him for my results and his faithfulness. And I thank him for the friends who stood by me, who tolerated all my complains and I know I complain a lot because of my results. So duqian, thanks so much for listening to me whine and look kinda depressed. Thank God for nina as well. Listening to her talk made me cry so much too but I'm learning, I'm really really learning to give thanks for the good and bad. Lastly for my family for tolerating all my moodswings, my grumpyness, my angry stares and frustrations. Not forgeting late night talks at 1am, trying to comfort me and at the same time reminding me of God's perfect plan for me. There was so much tears whenever I talk to my parents. But it's good. I needed talks like this. Good friends like miss yong kwai hoong gives me a lot of strength as well and I really really hope to be like her. I think God is so proud of you, peng you!

Anyway, this week has been good.
1. SMU OPEN HOUSE and meeting seniors and talkng to super nice yutingtingting!
2. NUSCO CONCERT, and seeing terri teo (ohmytian ohmytian) and seeing co people (YAY). I really miss co a lot and everyone. I had so much fun buying bananas for chongkahyan and lichen, and clarice duqian and I had a fun time on the mrt and we almost missed clementi!
3. AUSTRALIA UNI EXHIBITION/FAIR at suntec and orchard hotel. There's this pink jie jie who is super nice and cute! :D

I'm looking forward to a good lunch at amk hub tmrw with chansy and chong chong, NYNY! :D

lor mee

2009-03-04T07:28:00.000-08:00

The Lor Mee at tech point near my office is very nice :D I think it's the best food at tech point that I've tried. Haha. Anyway, Grace, Yvonne, Graciemoonie and I took two days leave (thurs&fri) so yay, no work for the rest of the week. Grace and I have been talking about our results & future for many days already, haha, I don't know why we don't get sick of it. Oh yeah, thank you friends who dropped me msges to make me happy. That was really nice. Like val, you were being stupid in your msg. HAHA. But I laughed my head off.

TMRW!
1) BTT IN THE MORNING
2) LUNCH WITH DUDU & LALA
3) MEET GRACE & GO MEET MISS TAN
4) MEET MUM FOR RETAIL THERAPY

All the best everyone!
